'\.- It's 7:59, and you have an 8 o'clock class. Hoping to make ufl time, you careen down the Speer Boulevard viaduct at 60 mph and simultaneously catch sight of a motorcycle patrolman on the comer of Larimer Street. His radar gun is pointed at you. • You gently apply the brakes and pass him at 57 mph. Your stomach sinks to the floorboards. Predictably, be-kick-starts bis sleek white beast and screeches around the comer on your tail, lights flashing mocking reds and , blues. Since your vehicle is a '76 Pinto with a ....

Lawrence Street construction isn't in its final stages just yet, but walking around campus shouldget easier in the next few weeks. Director of the AHEC Physical Plant Dean Wolf, said the construction of the mall on Lawrence Street between 10th Street and Speer Boulevard is running about a month behind. Wolf said that starting this week, the campus should see some signs of order as the sod is put into place and the last phase of that part of construction is finished. Wolf said that there were a number of reasons construction has not been finished Besides waiting for city approval for the curbing on Speer Boulevard, construction workers also bad to remove a large amount of bad soil and replace it with fresh soil. The construction on the entire project, which includes the mall, an amphitheater and two areas for seating, is done in phases, said John Loushin, the construction manager. Loushin said that delays also were due to discussions finalizing the design of the amphitheater to be built on the south slope of the Student Union.

A member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, Dan Becker, said the fees and area approval were finalized last spring. But the delays began when fuel tanks were found under the soil near the Science Building. Becker said that there were also some problems removing the Denver Trolley railroad ties, which ran under Lawrence Street Laying the sod is an important phase in the completion of the mall, according to Loushin. He said he is hoping students will respect the growing process and stay off the sod for at least three weeks. Makeshift fences will be

put up while the so.cl undergoes heavy watering. It tbCn will take a few more weeks to set properly. He said students have already ignored the construction and walked through fresh cement· "It would be very nice if the students would just continue to be a little more patient," he said. Wolf said that the area between Emmanuel Gallery and St. Caje> tans may not be finished until November, or possibly Christmas. The walkway in front of the Arts Building may be finished within a month, but the area in front of the proposed amphitheater and the intersection at Lawrence and Ninth

streets will be completed during the final stage of construction. Becker said SACAB has alloted $75,000 to build the amphitheater. Wolf said the amphitheater is a modified horseshoe design. "Your formal seating in the bard surface is probably going to seat 200 to 250," Wolf said. "As you branch out into the softscape, the grassy areas, you'll be able to get at least 400 in the area." So the good news is that the campus walking mall should be finished and functional within six weeks. The bad news is, it may not be accessible from the parking lots until Christmas. o

BSA meets to discuss racism Dan Jennings The Metropolitan

The controversy surrounding alleged racm remarks made by MSC Senator Joel Kleg resurfaced at a meetingoftheBlackStudentAIliance Sept. 20. At the heart of the debate was a letter which appeared in The Metropolitan defending Kleg and at-

she would sue Paul Scotten for h"bel if he could be located. In the letter, Scotten claimed that Madrid had req~ impeachment p~ aominp against Kleg out of personal spite. Kleg is charged with making a remark that the Denver Police Department WU usiJJa white officers in black neighborhoods because black officers couldn't be seen in the dark. Kleg allegedly made the comment in a criminal justice elm last February.

to UCO student Steve Olson, who spoke at the meeting. Gerri Madrid said at the meeting

Future trends A disc~ion of future trends in Denver will be led by Paul B. Hoskins, manager of General Services for the City and County ofDenver, from 11:30-a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 4 in Room 330 of the Student Union. Topics under discussion will :- include the city government's role in the environment, the new convention center's impact on the economy and how the city's $38 million-a-year budget is spent. .,,. The discussion is sponsored by MSC Student Activities as part of the "Visions for Tomorrow" lecture series. For more information, call 556-2595. ~

The comments formed the basis for a move to impeach Kleg from the Senate. On Sept. 7, a rules subcommittee voted to~ the charges if Kleg apologized to the BSA and the student body. "To my knowledge Senator Kleg has not apologized to the BSA or the student body,'' Madrid said at the BSA meetiiig. Lisa Calderon, BSA vice>president proposed that the BSA try to start a movement to recall Kleg. Racism was the main topic on the BSA's agenda. The BSA will publish a news~ letter that will list charges of racism I against MSC faculty members, .:" BSA member David Martin said. Both BSA sponsor Richard I Jackson and Calderon claim 90 !!. percent of black students who enter I MSC do not graduate. However, Jackson said 90 per-

cent of black students who enter MSC's criminal justice program do graduate. The BSA bas formed an academicemillcncecommiUee to help black students graduate, David Martin said.

"The BSA is not about dances, sweatshirts or trendy parties. It is about change on the Auraria campus," Lisa Calderon said, dcsalbing the BSA. The BSA is a group of black students who work to advance the cause of black students on the Auraria Campus. The BSA is planning a wide variety of projects for black students, including social activities and community service projects. Students at the Sept. 20 meeting were asked to participate in community service projects. Elections for BSA officers will be held next week. Voting will be held in the Student Union. The BSA's guest speaker was Dean Askew, director of ''Street Smart," a Denver area anti-gang program. Askew spoke about black unity. "It'd sure be good to have the Black Panthers back," Askew said. The Black Panthers were a group of radical black activists in the 1960s. "There wouldn't be any Crips and Bl~ - they'd all be Black Panthers," Askew said. o

Vented anger over a controversial speech has relieved some of the tension felt in the school of Letters, Arts and Sciences. "I don't think I'm upset anymore since I was able to express myself," said Dr. Joseph Raab, professor of mathematics and faculty assistant to the dean. Raab wrote a heated letter to Dr. James Perdue, interim vice president of academic affairs, objecting to the speech he made to the school on Sept. 7. Perdue was thought to have told the faculty of the School of Letters and Sciences in the address that they should do more research and publication. Traditionally Metro has emphasized teaching and not research as it's role and mission. Raab said he has encouraged Perdue to make a written statement to relieve any anxieties other professors may still have because they misunderstood the speech. "Without a written statement, no one knows what it really is that he means," Raab said. Perdue said that he does not remember Raab saying anything about a written statement and has no plans to make one. "If anyone thinks it wasn't clear, I'll be glad to talk to them," Perdue said. He said no professors have come to him concerning the speech.

do anything about them," Perdue said. "What I was saying," Perdue said, "was that every kind of professional ... ought to w'far

give careful attention to the kinds of excuses we make for doing or not doing certain kinds of~ [towards scholarship]." MSC President Thomas Brewer, told The Metropolitan that he recognius that Metro is not a research school. "We're a teaching institution," Brewer said. "We have many who are very active [in their fields] because they believe it is an important part of their mismon," Brewer said. Brewer said the school's handbook states that promotions and raises are decided 70 • percent by teaching methods, 15 percent by service to the school or the community, and 15 percent by scholarship. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education says that research should not be a consideration in promotions and raises. .,._ "I think teachers who do do scholarship make better teachers," Brewer said. Perdue said research is still very important to all schools.

Tall cold ones back at the Mission Brian A. Gallagher The Metropolitan

Rivers of barley and hops are once again flowing at the Larimer Street Mission, the campus bar, after being dammed for six days by a state error. Mission taps were shut down at noon, Friday, Sept. 15, when Roger Morris, a liquor commissioner for the state, discovered the liquor license had expired. Student Union Services which operates the Mission has a receipt that confirms they applied and paid for a renewed license on July 19. The state appears to have lost the original application for the license. Emerson Holliday, director of the Student Union Services said, "they couldn't find it," speaking of the application for license renewal.

I I

Mo~saidhe doesn't know what.happened to the license renewal application. "I'm not sure what is going on," Morris said. Holliday said verifying the liquor license is not something routinely checked. The Mission started serving 3.2 percent beer on Thursday, Sept. 21, after reapplying for the license. No fee was paid since the state had cashed the Student Union check in July. Tom Roarick, food-service director, estimated the campus lost $1,200 in beer sales revenues during the six-day period the Mission did not serve alcohol. "Food sales held up pretty well," Roarick said despite the absence of beer. The Student Union debated applying for a beer and wine license now instead of the 3.2 percent license because of the problems

they had over the past couple of weeks. Holliday said they have decided to wait until June, when the state's gran~ther clause

expires, permitting the sale of 3.2 percent alcohol to people who will be 21 as of June 30, 1990. "I'm just happy tqat it's all behind us," Holliday said. "I think it's great," Walter Calle, an MSC senior, said to the fact that the Mission is serving beer again.

CoPIRG pushes public awareness Bettv Lewis r.

The Pletropolitan

Recycling, Earth Day, toxics, and hunger and homelessness are some of the public interest ~ues the CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) hopes to affect through various awareness opportunities such as consumer-action guides, background research, introduction of legislation, fundraisers and food campaigns for local shelters. CoPIRG is the student-directed, studentfunded research and advocacy group on . <:ampus. Earth Day, a campaign CoPIRG is supporting with other chapters throughout the state, is designed to educate students and citirens about environmental issues. "We are planning awareness and action events for each month, leading up to the big ._ day - April 22," said Steffanie Clothier, CoPIRG's campus coordinator. "Each month, we'll focus on different issues like clean air, global warming, recycling or toxics." .,.

As part of their pollution prevention campaign, student members of CoPIRG have collected 11,000 of the 15,000 cans they will use in a presentation before the legislature. The cans, wrapped with studentsigned petitions, represent the 15,000 tons of toxic waste that leaked or was dumped into the environment last year. "We want to send a message to the legislature that says Colorado is concerned about toxics. The cans will make a visual statement," said Mary Anderson local board chairwoman. Recycling is another issue CoPIRG will focus on this semester. "Every can that is recycled is equivalent to a half-can of gasoline, or the energy it takes to run a 100-watt light bulb for three hours," Anderson said.

CoPIRG is setting up a recycling program on campus hoping to increase awareness. The chapter is working with Friends of Curbside, a recycling program in Denver that makes it easy for average people to recycle aluminum, glass and paper without having to take it to a specific location.

"When you think about the gasoline people use to take their recyclables to King Soopers, it's a lot more than one truck would use to pick them all up," noted CoPIRG's T. Marshall Sevfert. During the summer months, CoPIRG developed a student consumer guide on household toxics that will be distributed next month. In 1987, Metro students agreed through a petition and referendum process to fund CoPIRG thro~h an optionaJ $3 fee assessed at registration. Helen Fleming, of Metro's business office, said 3,705 of Metro's 17,286 students did not pay the fee this semester. The CoPIRG Board is not concerned about the waived fees, claiming 350 students joined the chapter during the first three weeks of fall semester. "There's a lot of support for what we're doing, and I think if we went for a referendum again, students would support us," Anderson said. o

"We have gone beyond EPA's own latest cleanup policy," Vonesb said.

Fit To Be Tied By John C. Roper

I've got a great idea - I'm going to start my own university. Why not? John Elway has his own foundation. We'll call it Roper University, home of the Flying Hamsters. [I'd pick John University but it sounds too much like a school for wayward plumbers and would have to be called the Porcelain Pomegranates or something like that. Besides, I think it's already taken). At R.U., admission is simple. All you have to do is denounce yourself as a Bronco fan and swear on a stack of playbooks that the Broncos don't have a prayer of making it to the Superbowl this year. Tuition? Ha! We at R.U. strive to meet the needs of our students. To enable them to afford college, R. U. will use a unique Japanese financing plan. It's simple. All we do is put you on the selling block and let a rich Japanese investor purchase you. This investor will then supply you with bags and bags of worthless American dollars. In return, all you have to do is continue to vote for presidents who don't care about equal trade between the United States and Japan. Also, you are NEVER, I repeat, NEVER to buy or even ride in a Yugo. [Did you know that Yugo was Czechoslovakian for Pinto?] On your first day at R.U., your freshman orientation will consist of seven minutes of intensive instructions on how to beat up a mime. Mimes will not be allowed on campus. You will then be shuffled off to personally meet our university spokesperson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, who will tutor you in the fine art of police relations and driving under the influence.

I have struggled with the concept of creating a convenient and efficiently run campus bookstore. Unlike most campus bookstores, this one wouldn't have a 150 percent mark-up on textbooks and would actually have the books you needed in stock. Through vast amounts of computer research and feasibility studies, we have found a simple solution. There will be no bookstore. Parking at R.U. will be no problem. I plan to gut and renovate a completely worthless, economically downfallen shopping mall and convert it into indoor valet parking capable of holding virtually thousands of cars. The Tivoli should work quite nicely. I've given a lot of thought to the position of president at R.U. Mike Tyson or Sean Penn have come to mind but I figured a less hands-on management style would fair better. So Jim Bakker's our man. Jim's method of hiding under the couch and sniveling to get his way will bring R.U. a lot of bucks and notoriety. Of course R.U. will pay him minimum wage and require him to attend school full time. If he fails his classes, we'll know he's spending time on the job. The faculty at R.U. will all be hired according to how entertaining their names look on the class schedules. People like X. Benedict, Warren Peace, Art Wholeflaffer, Seymore Butts, Willy Makit and Betty Don't are shoo-ins. Faculty members will not be allowed to have attendance policies. These make about as much sense as training your cat to use a pay toilet. Beer will be served on campus at the R.U. student center lounge, which will be aptly named The Hamster Cage. Unlike some campus pubs, this one won't forget to renew its liquor license.

So that's R.U. in a nutshell. Just remember our motto - IF YOU DON'T LOOK GOOD, WE DON'T LOOK GOOD, R.U. FOR REAL.

Education can't wait Editor, In response to President Brewer's comment that if a student works forty hours a week and passes a full load of classes, " ... the school is not meeting the challenge." I must say it is a fallacy. I thought MSC was a school for the nontraditional student: the person who didn't have to make the choice of whether to work or go to school. Is he suggesting that we are not learning the material? That we are being handed out the grades just because we are nontraditional students? Full-time work and school is not easy to do, nor is it impossible to achieve with determination and effort.

Just because we are nontraditional doesn't mean that we can't have these qualities. How many credit hours does the college suggest? four? eight? maybe 10? We do not want to graduate in eight or 10 years. That is impractical. It is a possibility that by the time we graduate less jobs would be available, or that new technologies would have made our knowledge obsolete. We must fulfill our dream of education now, especially .; if we are working students depending on it to brighten our future.

P & F Ball prices steep Editor, The ticket prices for the Plain & Fancy Ball just plain bother me, and I've got to tell someone. I think I understand where the ball proceeds go to, scholarships, but I can't seriously suggest that my students attend this fundraiser for that specific reason. At this point, they are trying to keep their heads above present college costs. Pay $40 for one ticket? Hah. The ticket price is supposed to appeal to our budget: the ball is supposed to be accessible to students, faculty and friends. That is what the invitation said. Why bother with "doublespeak?" Why not allow varied admission as some festivals and

concerts do? How about $10 for students, $20 for faculty and staff, and $40 for administrators or outside business and alumni attendees? Why break our pocketbooks now when most of us won't even be paid till the end of September? True accessability would increase the number of attendees after all! We might even have money left over for the silent auction later in the evening. Please consider these comments and recommendations ...

Book snafu hurts grades Editor, I am now into myfourthweekatMSCand have finally received all of my books. I find it hard to believe that I had to try 10 times to buy one book. In most of my classes there was a book delay of at least one week. Due to an ordering problem at the Auraria Book Store, one of my test grades was affected. I don't know about

everyone else, but I was a little upset to say the least. If the book store was more prepared and had all of their books before school started it would save time and frustration. Any system has to be better than the one they are using now.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Everyone atfault in Kleg issue Editor: I read with great interest, and more than a little dismay, of the Kleg affair in your issue of The Metropolitan of Sept. 8th. As an adult learner engaged in full-time employment, I am unable to participate in student activities or government. But, because of my different perspective, as a nontraditional student, I feel compelled to respond to all this hoo-hah. To Mr. Kleg: Well, I wish I could be sympathetic. Even if your remark was innocent of racist bias, it was -yes, I'll say - stupid. I would recommend that, particularly as a member of Student Government, you learn, and quickly, to think before you speak. Otherwise, you will find a very rocky road awaits you in the big, bad world. Make a stupid remark like yours in the presence of a certain enlightened employer, Mr. Kleg, you m~y. or may not, be able to retain your position. You may, or may not, be handed the opportunity to defend your statements. Regardless of your motives, most likely you will lose. Risky isn't it, the reluctance to ponder our words before they are uttered? Or weren't you paying attention to the reputation and career of one Jimmy the ,, Greek? . Mr. Kleg, if your fellow senators dislike you and your ideas so much that they would applaud the suggestion of your impeachment, get out before they drag you out while you kick and scream about "vendettas." They are obviously trying to send you a message which you ...- don't appear to be taking very seriously. If you have racist, or otherwise bigoted, leanings, now not later is the time to reassess your thinking. Correct your biases before the risks of your life become greater than the rewards. Your educators are here to help you learn how to think, not how to skirt your accountability.

To Ms. Calderon: I am not black, but I am part Hispanic, and I am a woman. Your response to Mr. Kleg's letter only reinforces the false assumption that women , regardless of their color, are immature, emotional and whiny. Mr. Kleg never wrote, as you allude, that "gangs are part of black culture." He did, however, use the phrase "black culture and problems in the black community." Did you miss the "problems" part? Do you ·deny that gang activity is a "problem" in the black community in this city? Ms. Calderon, did you read Mr. Kleg's letter, or just laugh, hiss and generally emote around it? You must also learn to think before you react. For the cold truth is, you will not be able to cry, "Foul!" every time you think you see a racist, sexist or elitist behind every corporate, academic or governmental tree in the big, bad world. Whine while you may, Ms. Calderon, because to do so later will, most probably, assure only one thing - you will lose. This will be painfully clear to you the first time an employer [or otherwise unfair person] selectively plucks your words from their context, twists them to his or her adversarial advantage, and drops them in your potentially litigious lag. If there are adult learner members of the Black Student Alliance, ask them to explain to you what you are really going to be up against. Y.ou think you've seen it all just because you are black. Be careful, Ms. Calderon, that your blinders are not too firmly in place. You ain't seen nothin' yet! Neither of you will change the thinking of another individual unless you learn to do so with concern for the growth and well-being of your audience, and with the force of integrity underpinning your arguments. Obstinate defenses and childish moaning and groaning do not foster understanding between cultural groups.

They will, assuredly, solidify existing bigotry. Both of you would do well to remember that stapling your college degrees to your big-bad-world uniforms will not protect you in the heat of the Fairness Wars. Nothing will protect you. But, demonstration a higher level of reason, and the intelligent use of language will, at least, give you an edge when you are thrust into battle. To Mr. Plank: I definitely sympathize. You would be wise to be prepared to fire back if you are accused of bias, provided the accusation itself Is unfair. But, take care, Mr. Plank. The Metropolitan, as I feel sure you are aware, is not your personal plaything. If the Lithuanians want space, don't be stingy. You can afford to be big -it's a big paper. You are indeed fortunate to be the editor of an urban college paper. You and your staff have the opportunity to enrich urban life as well as college life. If particular student groups can help accomplish that, so much the better. You, as editor, can certainly exercise wisdom without nitpicking your way around their concerns. Last year's editor sacrificed little in her "well over an hour" spent defending her record to the Black Student Alliance. An hour to two out of her life probably did not stall her career. Agreed? I was wondering something, though, after I read your editorial. When, exactly, does a story become an expression of color, ratherthan a story? When, exactly, does a student become a particular hue of skin wrapped around a collection of moveable parts, rather than a student? Where does the notion of scholarship end in this college, and the notion that college is the arena in which to address everyone's personal problems begin? Just wondering.

UCO creates School of the Arts Jennifer Karkl The Metropolitan Fine arts, music and theater departments at the University of Colorado at Denver combined to form a new School of Arts as of Sept 21, with a newly appointed director, David Magidson. Magidson, former chairman of theater and dance at the University of New Hampshire, said he hopes the new department will be able to increase performances and art shows for the benefit of the community and

the students. Changes in the curriculum have not yet been established, but prof~rs from the arts departments at UCO have high hopes about the revamped operation. Chairman of Music Director Walter Barr said the merger will broaden opportunities for students. He added that be feels Magidson will provide wonderful leadership for the program. Ernest Porps, prof~r of the fine arts at UCO, said the consolidation is a "fantastic idea."

"I hope what we do comes out between us," be said, "so what we do becomes our future, not just my suggesting ideas." Laura Cuetara, chairman of the theater department, said she is looking forward to experimenting with integrating music and artwork with theatrical performances. She said there will be teaching disciplines to explore with the joint efforts of the music and fine arts department. For example, a new theatrical piece can be integrated with music. And artwork such as paintings or sculptures could be used for the setting. The combination would reflect an appropriate identity for all of the arts groups, she said. Cuetara added that the consolidation was created by the administration, but it is up to the prof~rs to fill in the organic connection within the arts. It is hoped the new School of Arts will create more involvement with the students at Auraria and perhaps help non·art majors get involved in the arts program.

"By ourselves we are small," Porps said. "This will give the faculty and students more -visibility and will be helpful for all of us to

compete in a competitive world" The combined arts departments at UCO currently have 22 faculty members, and enrollment this term is about 800. The first combined meeting will be Friday, Oct. 6, where prof~rs from the arts department will talk together with Magidson to discuss changes in the curriculum. Magidson hopes to work together with the teachers. Since it is a new beginning for everyone, be said he doesn't want to be the ,. dictator, but rather share new ideas. MagUhoo is excited about being on Auraria campus, and adds, "I hope we can explore new avenues of cooperation with Metro. politan College and unify the arts experiences to enrich each of them [UCO and MSC] so we can all enjoy the combined arts per· formance." o

Billed as ''The Double Feature of the Decade," the films "Abortion for Survival" and "The Silent Scream" gave imights into both sides of the heated abortion issue. The Sept 19 and 21 presentations, sponsored by Associated Women Studies of MSC and the MSC Institute for Women's Studies and Services, provided a public forum for those wishing to express an opinion. A coin was tossed to determine the order in which the films were to be shown. Representatives from Colorado Right to Life and Central Denver of the National Organi1.ation of Women offered opening statements before their respective movies were shown. Jeanne Hill of Colorado Right to Life, the organization that provided "The Silent Scream," spoke of Planned Parenthood's definition of abortion. In 1962, Planned Parenthood circulated a pamphlet in which a question appeared asking whether birth control pills were comidered abortive. Hill said Planned Parenthood's reply was, "Absolutely not Abortion kills the life of a baby." Dr. Dorothy La Fleur, representative of

"They were not people much given to solutions, to abstract; their lives were grounded in the specific.,, From "Salvador" by Joan Didion. A month in Central America this summer became a time • for new growth and·personal understanding for Anne Wall Miller, an English profeaor at MSC. "Solidarity has a whole new meaning to me now," she said. Miller joined 70 women from the United States in a women's convoy to deliver medical supplies to destitute communities throughout Central America. It was in El Salvador, however, where Miller came to know the women who changed her life. "They had the ability to celebrate wholeness in the midst of deprivation," Miller said "I was surprised by the hope I found among the poor." That hope has allowed the women of El Salvador, a ' country riddled by war and terror, to band together in an attempt to unify their country in their search for better lives. And these women risk their lives by organizing public women's groups to address the many issues that affect them and their children, including illiteracy, employment, family planning, child care and education. But there is no government aid to the groups. Miller said the government sees these women as subversives, as sympathizers with the FMLN [the rebels now fighting against the right-wing government of Alfredo Cristiani, who took office on June I].

"In the Bible, women like Mary Magdalene and Martha -.. take responsibility to listen to the call of God and to respond," Miller said. "Out of this l~n have arisen many women ofgreat value in El Salvador. Their basis is a biblical one. To reestablish their values means to reestablish themselves as human beings." The power of the women's groups was very much in evidence during Miller's stay. Thousands of women took to the streets, Miller said, holding banners and chanting anti-government slogans. Soldiers surrounded them, tore the banners from their hands, and viciously assaulted some of the women. The women demanded the freeing of boys who had been kidnapped and spirited away from the villages, Miller said. • · One woman, a member of the Federation of Mothers and Families, expressed fears about her mming son: "As mothers, we want you to know it hurts to have our children taken away. I am very nervous because I am afraid Augustine [her son] will be beaten."

This same fear was evident when Miller made a trip on July 6 to the Central America University to speak with a faculty delegation about the situation in El Salvador. "The University was a disaster," Miller said. "The walls were crumbled and charred. Heavily armed guards with bawokas on their backs encircled the University. It had been bombed and was covered with graffiti." The 14 women representing the delegation were angry with the United States, Miller said, because of the United States support of the current government "The U.S. never sees the whole picture," Miller said ''The . more than $3.9 billion poured into the country over the last ·nine years has done nothing more than to support the military. The people never see the aid." tr • , About $2 million was pledged to the country in earthquake aid, but there has been a "deliberate and drastic underfunding by the government to the University," according to Miller. "The government fears the UDiversity," she said, "because it's traditionally been a place ofanti-government sentiment" Miller wi~ a demonstration by the students at the University. It was simply an acting out of pushing away the military, Miller said. "But the faculty were afraid to participate. They were afraid for their lives." During the demonstration, in which Miller participated, soldiers circled the campus, fingers poised on machine gun triggers. Helicopters flew low over the campus, while machine-gun-armed soldiers perched in the open doorways of the craft, pointing their weapons over demonstrators' beads, Miller said In a country of five million people, about 70,000 have died in the civil war in El Salvador. There are 240 political murders a year. And thousands of young men have disappeared from their homes, leaving the women to support the children and care for their homes alone. And after the earthquake of October 1986, thousands of people were left to wander homeless acr~ the countryside. In order to rebuild their lives, women from every station in life - bankers, cooks, butchers, bakers, teachers, doctors - are speaking out to gain support They meet at churches, and some groups have resorted to taking over the churches for short periods of time so they will be heard During the meetings, women are taught about the laws of the country so that they may protect themselves. They also learn how to become self-sufficient and how to demand that the human-rights violations in their country be stopped In fact, Miller said, one of the strongest supporters of the movement is the Christian community. "Historically, churches have opposed the revolution," Miller said "But now they're encouraging the women by forming a very tight 'comunidad de base,' a strong Christian base. It is within this community that the groups get the strength to go on." Members of the clergy are teaching the women a reinterpretation of their lives based on a new understanding of the gospel, reading the New Testament, and using women in the Bible as modeb for the modern-day crusaders.

The fear of violence permeated the air during many of the meetings Miller had with the women's organizations. "The _women were extremely anti-violent," Miller said. "Even when they disagreed among themselves, they solved their differences through talk." When asked if they sympathized with the guerrillas, Miller said, they rejected the violence used by those groups, even though they agreed with their goals. "What these women are doing is so important," Miller said "There is a lot of power because they're a populist group. That's where they reaffirm their dignity." Dignity is very hard to come by in El Salvador at present. Many of the women with whom Miller spoke have been tortured, tear gimed, raped and incarcerated by the military for alleged violations against the government And yet they go on, often laughing, singing and giving thanks to God. "I don't know how to justify our experience of blessing and stability," Miller said "It causes me great 'dis-ease.' I think we've lost the capability to get outside ourselves and our consumerism. There, the two greatest sins are individualism and consumerism. The pronoun 'I' is almost nonexistent in their vocabulary." Miller said students in the United States have something to learn from the Salvadorans she met ''There's something about the country and these women. They accept that this is the reality. They face reality and deal with it as they can. It's very inspiring. It sort of seeps into your bloo&tream. "Flag waving isn't what's important," Miller said "I wollld encourage every student to go and have a personal experience in one of those countries. It makes you have a different view ofthings. I've taken a second look at my value system and my way oflife, and I wonder, 'Is there an}1hing I want to change?' "

PACIFIC OCEAN

Miller said boredom contnbutes to apathy among students in the United States and is partly the responsibility of those who teach them. "We don't have something to make a commitment to," she said. "I don't accept the apathy in our students. We as a faculty are apathetic. There's a real concern over bringing up issues that are controversial." Miller's solution: "Let's address those issues. Let's learn what's really going on out there, face the reality and find the solutions." "Viva la solidaridad de la mujer." (Long live solidarity among women.) o

young cadet about to rappel down a 30-foot cliff face. The cadet, David Carter, a secondyear ROTC student from UCO, agreed. "With a little training I guess I can do about anything." During the exercises, motivation among the cadets ran high. To keep motivation from dropping, Cadet Commander Dan Didson said senior cadets divided the troops into two platoons and

instituted a series of competitions between them. The first of these competitions - setting up shelters - brought a prize of freedom from firewatch duty Friday night. The losing platoon had to post fire guards hourly throughout the night. To help ensure motivation among thirdyear students, senior cadets de'iigned a snivel wheel award.

The snivel wheel, a forty-pound gear with a head-si7.ed hole in the center, hung from a dead tree at the edge of camp - waiting to be worn by a complainer. Any snivelers would have to carry the wheel around their necks with his or her name displayed prominently. Scuttlebutt had it that a far more effective motivator was a ticket to the BroncoRaiders game for the most motivated cadet. They learned about personal field hygiene, field survival and first aid. Instructors used skits to teach cadets things not to do in combat, a standard techniq~in teaching ROTC classes, Tatum said. Although nobody won any Oscars for acting, the instructors did manage to get the point~.

In the predawn hours last Friday, unseen by all but the earliest of birds, Army troops in fatigues mustered behind Saint Cajetan's Center. The troops, including Metro ROTC cadets and their leaders, weren't on an early morning campus raid, they were iwembled for transport to three days of field training. At their camp in the Pike National Forest near Deckers, set among the pines and granite rock, inexperienced cadets learned basic rappelling. how to build and er~ rope bridges, survival metlxxb and first-aid techniques. Experienced cadets gave instruction and rotated through various supervisory roles to gain leadership experience. Lt. Col. Larry D. Tatum, the camp's commander, said the field exercises are de'iigned to teach leadership and build selfconfidence. Tatum said senior cadets hone leadership skills by planning and being held responsible for the field exercises. "Self-confidence is bw1t upon a base of fear, by learning to listen to who's in charge. to do things right," Tatum said, pointing to a

In personal hygiene class, cadets learned about field hygiene, beat- and cold-related ailments, stress management and proper field latrine techniq~. Those who have seen disgusting evidence of improper latrine techniques may wish this could be presented to the populace at large. Two survival classes taught the cadets about finding food, water, shelter and how to build a fire. They learned how to make fresh-water stills, build temporary shelters, and live off the land. Imtructors demonstrated how to build small-animal traps. They then "caught and butchered" several stuffed animals. However, nobody requested them for dinner. Cadet Shannon Strassner, a DU student, gave a helpful hint. She recommended pulling the back legs off of grasshoppers before eating them because they can scratch the diner's esophagus. Another cadet added that it only takes three ounces of grasshopper meat to equal UI ROTC pg. 14

Rabbi brings Hillel to campus Joni Zlgan

The Metropolitan

To SOD".e club members he's a rabb~ to others he's a friend, and to all who meet him, he's a t.eacher. Gordon S. Rubinstein beads the University of Denver Hillel, the campus Jewish organization, and he's forming a chapter at Auraria. "Hit wasn't for the students, there'd be no point to any of it," Rubinstein said Rubinstein, known as Gordon to Hillel members, started with Hillel as his rabbinical internship at the University of Southern California. He has been the director at DU for three years. "Each student recreates Hillel in their image," 39-year-old Rubinstein said. "And each student casts me in a different role." Hillel directors are usually rabbis, which requires six years ofgraduate studies. Rubinstein said that all Hillel staff members have advanced degrees in Jewish studies as well as other degrees.

'•

"lit makes me not settle for 'because.' " Rubinstein said. He considers "because" something parents say to their children when they ask why. Rubinstein said that "because" is not good enough when students ask questions. Being a director of Hillel is serious business, but Rubinstein never lets that stop him from having a sense of humor. "Professional religious people are just like everyone else," he said Accounting work that keeps this nonprofit organix.ation together is a crucial part ofRubinstein's work, although he said it's his least favorite part. "People go into this kind of work to be with people."

"We don't discriminate!" Rubinstein told one Jewish student when she told him her friend was Catholic. He had her friend fill out an information sheet and said he would tell his favorite nun at DU about her.

.,..

"I'm sure she's got a nice Catholic boy for you somewhere," Rubinstein laughed, "and I know your parents would love that." Over the years, many non-Jewish students have participated in the club. Some have even been club leaders. While many faiths are very different from Judaism, some of Rubinstein's best religious conversations come from speaking with non-Jews. ''Strong Christians ask the best questions," he said Many students come to Rubinstein to ask questions · about the Jewish culture and history. He's a resource to all students trying to understand Judaism. These students constantly make Rubinstein confront his faith;

No, really. The organix.ation gets funding from many places. Hillel members are sometimes charged for activities; Jewish community members and parents also donate to the club. And the Allied Jewish Federation, an organix.ation of Jewish charities, contributes to Hillel.

"It's almost like admitting you like to watch professional wrestling," he said. Rubinstein's full life shows in his face as he talks about his career. When he talks to students, he looks like a man who loves his job. o

Rubinstein said he and his wife of two years love living in Denver and do not have any plans to move soon.

Being here makes it easy for Rubinstein to enjoy some of his favorite hobbies, like bicycle riding and cross-country skiing. Rubinsteins's favorite secret hobby, however, is reading murder mysteries and whodunits.

The interest in the organix.ation at Auraria is enthusiastic, Rubinstein said, though the number of students is not high. The diversity in age at Auraria presents Rubinstein with some new challenges. He bas worked previously only with traditional students. "I've never dealt with this before," he said. Rubinstein said he has called colleagues who have been at commuter schools in other parts of the country to find out more about the needs of older students. "It's a real learning pr~" Rubinstein said. "It does keep me from getting bored" Anyone is welcome to be part of Hille~ regardless of their religious beliefs.

What does Hillel do to raise funds? "We sell the students on East Colfax," Rubinstein joked

"I still have enough room to grow, personally and professionally [in Denver.r Rubinstein said.

"It keeps me semi-young," be said of his profession. Students interested in being part of Hillel never passed by its booth in the Student Union during recruiting without speaking to Rubinstein, and he never hesitated to greet them in Yiddish or tell them a story. Rubinstein never wears a tie, or what he calls "grown-up" clothes, and always gets a kick out of students who cannot figure out if he is the director or if he is just another member.

But Rubinstein said he knows the importance of the paper work. Yet, even with subjects as serious as fund raising, Rubenstein keeps a sense of humor.

Instructors familiarized cadets with two crawling techniques they would need for assault-obstacle courses, the low and high crawls. In the low erawl, the slower of the "sneak up and blast them" techniques, a cadet crawls head down in the dirt, with one leg cocked and pulling forward. In the high crawl, the faster method, a cadet crawls on knees and elbows while cradling a rifle in their arms. Breakfast and lunch consisted of MRE's, meals ready to eat Although they've come a long way since K-ratiom, the grumbling persists. True, they're not gourmet meals, but they're not really bad. Rumor bas it they're in much demand by hunters and backpackers who don't have to eat them frequently. A typical MRE consists of four courses: chicken a la king or beef slices in barbecue sauce, crackers, peanut butter or cheese, a ~ such as dried fruit or cookie bar. Each course comes separately pouched in plastic with an ~ry packet providing coffee or cocoa, cream subsitute, sugar, salt, chewing gum, matches and toilet paper. The matches tasted OK, but the toilet paper was just barely ~ble. For dinner, however, the cadets cooked

hot dogs and beans supplemented by chips and pop. Much to my chagrin, no beer was allowed in camp. Saturday morning came boisterously and early. Screams punctuated sleep as cadets slipped from their warm sleeping bags into the cold moring air. Luckily, the firewatchers had done their job, the fire still blazed, the forest still stood. Saturday the cadets rappeled, tied basic knots and constructed and crossed a rope bridge. They also traversed a general course and a grenade assault course. In the general course they had to cross two single-rope bridges, one double-rope bridge, concertina wire and a wooden wall. Near exhaustion, the cadets were spurred on by shouts and screams of experienced cadets that bordered on harassment, but motivated them. The grenade assault course proved even more rigorous. Cadets had to crawl an uphill course then stop and hurl imitation grenades at targets. The grueling, face down in the dirt, low crawl at the end of the course drained many cadets. Exhausted or not, they completed the course, stood triumphantly, grinned with dirt-covered teeth, as much to say- I made it!! I left field exercises Saturday afternoon just tired and sore, making straight for a hot bath and a comfortable night's sleep. I imagine at best cadets would have returned well exercised, with a newfound sense of confidence in themselves and their ability to lead. At worst, cadets may have returned tired and sore, with a better appreciation of military training. o

BSA works toward blackacceptance David 0. Wllllams The Metropolitan

·-

Ninety percent of the black students who enroll at MSC will not graduate, says Lisa Calderon of the Black Student Alliance. • And that number bas given her organization a new focus this year. Calderon said that while black recruitment efforts have been adequate, there bas been a lack of support for those students once they get here. And that's where BSA comes in. "They [the administration] do all they can to get you in school, but once you're here, they let go of your band and you're just out there," she said. "I think that to get incoming black students with those that have been here is real important, because that's your peer group. This year the goal of the BSA is to keep black students in school, but more generally, it's to make a better situation for blacks on campus." There's a tension on campus, Calderon said, whether it's being blasted with "screaming rock music" at the Mission or simply being the only black in a cliw. And the purpose of the BSA is to provide a place for "black students to congregate, so that we can network and keep each other in school. Because obviously the administration isn't keeping us in school, and so we have to do it."

Kim Edwards, committees coordinator for the BSA, said that the organiz.ation gives her a "sense that I can belong on this campus. We don't see very many black teachers or professors or advisers, and nine

LIVE MUSIC ON SATURDAY NITES

times out of 10 we won't see very many black students in our classes. With the club, we meet more [black] people. And you can find out about classes, or you can find out about just surviving on this campus.'; Both Edwards and Calderon agree that the racial environment at MSC is not much different from the well-documented tension at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where several incidents involving athletes have grabbed headlines. But what is different, Calderon said, is that Boulder is a predominantly white city, and blacks there don't have somewhere to go to make ties, as they do in Denver. One reason for all the publicity in Boulder, Edwards said, is the same reason the BSA is stronger now than it's ever been. "We're not taking it anymore," she said. "A lot of times, you'll sit there [in cliw] and you'll hear a teacher say something or a student say something. Well now. someone comes to the BSA and tells us what happened and we'll take care of it, or we'll let it be known that you don't have to take that kind of abuse.'' "We know that we don't live in a world where we can pick and choose who will be there," Edwards said. ''So we just need to learn how to be accepted - bow to accept ourselves - on this campus and have others accept us for who we are." One of the major obstacles to achieving that kind of acceptance on the campuses of major universities, Edwards said, is the failure on the part of high schools to encourage, or even prepare, blacks to go to

college. "There is never really any training for college unless you're a white student," she said. Elizabeth Oteo, a BSA member and a graduate of Kennedy High School, agreed. "You're not encouraged to go to college unless someone takes a particular liking to you. I was in speech. I was an actress. I did a lot of things so that I was seen, but I had to do them on my own. And that's bow I found out about college and all the other opportunities there are for black students."

and you're maybe the only black person in a class. You don't feel very encouraged, and a lot of times you feel alienated by the students and the teacher." The BSA bas done some outreach with area high schools, but the focus was usually a • negative message designed to combat social problems in the community. ''This year," Edwards said, ''we brought it back on campus, because we want to have all of the young people see that there are black people in college, that there are black people excelling." The current chapter of the BSA was established in September 1988 and its membership is estimated to be around 150. Calderon said that through a newsletter scheduled to hit the pres.5es in October and other recruiting methods, the BSA hopes to increase membership as well as increase black enrollment at MSC. In the long run, they'd like to see more black faculty and administrators and to have at least half, if not 100 percent, of the black students graduate. Oteo doesn't think those goals are unrealistic. "We're better than none, but equal.to all," she said. And that equality includes having a voice, Calderon said. ''The BSA is a channel for black students to express their needs and wants to the rest of the Auraria campus.

Men's soccer · still has hi'gh hopes Scott Moore The Metropolitan

After four straight l0sses, MSC men's soccer Coach Dennis Daly has finally solved the mystery of the bad luck syndrome that has hit his team lateJy. "Right now we've got the shoe on the wrong foot What we need to do is try and put the shoe on the other foot and see if we can't run away with some victories," the ever-optimistic Daly said. A typical example of that luck occurred last Saturday with intracity rival Regis College. After Chris Kalman knotted the score at 1-1 midway through the second half, the men watched helplessly as the Raiders stole a 2-1 win in overtime. But it was Regis' first goal that Daly had a hard time swallowing. "We got called for a hand ball and they scored on a penalty kick with one second left in the first," he said. Daly noted that the

It was during its trip to the west coast that Daly began to notice the teams biggest weakness. He said the lack of leadership became evident in the midst of a 4-0 setback at the hands of California State University Hayward. Then, two days later, the Roadrunners stumbled again, falling to Califomia State University-Saaamento 1-0 in overtime Three of MSC's last five l~ have been in overtime. "It's too bad we don't have that one superstar," Daly said. "We would have someone to look to. The team is looking for leadership; they're even questioning their own abilities. But we've been in every game. rm not real concerned yet." Tuesday, Denver University invaded the Auraria Field and escaped with a 2-1 win over the Roadrunners. It looked promising for MSC early on when Tim Yunger, who was roaming in front of the opponents' net took a nice pass from Kalman and drove it home to put Metro up. "[But] we allowed them to sneak up on us, gave them a couple goals and they walked away happy," Daly said. "We didn't play smart at all and it was a bad time for everybody. We still aren't jiving together, but the wins will come. I'm sure of that. We're firing on seven cylinders, but we haven't hit that eighth yet and when we do - watch out. Deep down we're still very optimistic." Metro will next face a very tough Chapman College squad today [Friday] at 4 p.m. on the Auraria Field. It will be a chance for Daly to "try and put all the eggs in the basket for one game." o

Lady kickers rout CCU, look ahead Scott Moore The Metropolitan

After being derailed in a 105.$ to Denver University, the MSC women's soccer team found a good way to get back on track -playing Colorado Christian University.

As quickly as the women learned that they had moved up to sixth in the national polls, they lost a 2-0 game against Denver University in what Coach Ed Montojo termed as "plain unlucky." The loss also dropped them from sixth to 18th in the nation.

"We completely controlled the game," Montojo said. ''We outshot them 39-7. We spent the entire second half in front of their goal and couldn't put one home. Nothing was going right for us." But the schedule provided Metro with a quick cure to the problem. Still smarting from the upset l~ the Roadrunners dominated Colorado Christian Tuesday 4-0, outsbooting its opponent once again by a 39-7 count MSC led 2-0 at the half and never looked back.

Senior Tonja Ridgeway put Metro up 1-0 10:03 into the game. She followed up by feeding Amber Jeokins on a misdirection play, going from left to right, as Jenkins scored for OD a ODO-OD-One breakaway goal

a 2-0 lead. It was the same story in the second half. Cindi Weishapl tallied MSC's third goal getting a pass from Bridgette Leisure and heading the ball into the net. Leisure finished the day with her fourth goal of the year assisted by Weishapl and Ridgeway. "Our midfield play dominated. I was upset with 14 offsides calls, but we're getting good shots and it tells me we're controlling the game," Montojo said. He said that the team is going through a

dry spell, despite dominating every game.

Against Colorado Christian, MSC hit the cr~bar four times. Montojo was also able to play everyone on the roster, including time for his two young goalies - Laura Bakes and Lisa Baskall. The year-to-date statistics remain staggering for the Roadrunners. They are outshooting opponents 182 to 30 and outscoring them 21 to three. Metro is now on the road for three tough games against Division I teams. Friday, the women will test Texas Christian followed by a Sunday match-up with 14th-ranked SouthernMetboda Both teaim tasted defeat at the bands of the Roadrunners the last time they met The other team is Colorado College, the second-ranked team in the nation behind North Carolina University. MSC will travel there Oct 7 to try and beat them for the first time ever. D

The women's volleyball team is celebrating after defeating Adams State and Mesa State in Grand Junction last weekend to up its record to 14-1. The team was without the services of setter Sue Gillette for both matches. Gillette's strong playing was missed, but the Roadrunners triumphed 15-4, 15-9, 15-2 over Adams State. Gillette had surgery on her knee and is expected to return in two weeks.

ened the crowd's enthusiasm. The second game was one by MSC, but the third went to Mesa. After five games, MSC came out on top and defeated Mesa 11-15, 15-7, 14-16, 15-9 and 15-6. "It wasn't the team that proved to be diffic;ult for us - it was the home crowd; they were really loud and excited," Tamblin said. Performing well in the matches last weekend was junior Chris Hines. Against Adams State she had 15 kills, which is her season high.

''She's hitting really hard and playing really hard," Coach Tamblin said Senior Heather Hotchkiss has been a steady force for the team and a major factor in the team's wins. "She's been playing steady in all the ._ games and that really helped the team," ' Tamblin said The team plays tonight and tomorrow in Missouri at the Central Missouri Tournament and is at home Monday night at 7:30 against Continental Divide Conference team Eastern Montana. o

requested a meeting with the city attorney, the judge will read off 'the city attorney has decided to plea bargain or make you this deal.'" The defendant can either accept the deal or reject it, making a trial the next step, Jackson said. . "Under the Colorado Revised Statutes, everybody in Colorado in every traffic offense is entitled to a trial. Not just a trial, but a jury trial. A lot of other states don't allow that."

When a defendant shows up for a trial, he is usually first asked by a city attorney if he has appointed his own attorney. If the answer is no? "Guess what! He'll try and make you a deal!" Jackson said. "The reason that they make deals is that there is no way the criminal justice system could handle all the trials they would have," he said The result of the "deal" is a reduction of the points charged, or the fine, or both.

But let's say you don't take any of the deals and you end up going to trial because you're feeling lucky. Back to Rule No. l - Remember the officer's face. If the officer is not in court that day, do not let the prosecuting attorney postpone the trial, Rule No. 4 - Cry a lot if you have to. But if the judge doesn't grant a continuance - no officer, no trial, case dismissed, victory for your team in yet another variation of "Let's Make a Deal," according to Jackson. o

After the film speakers were each given three minutes to express their opinion. Angie Keough, MSC student, defended the pro-choice stance, saying:

MSC Student Senator Anthony Van der Horst said, "I'm not pro-choice and rm not anti-abortion. I've made my decision based

Kathy Schwab brought up an inconsistency in the nation's laws. "In our country, you can get fined thousands of dollars for destroying a fertiliud bald eagle egg. They [lawmakers] see that as a viable life. But yet the womb is no longer protected." For those who missed these presentations, Kan~ hopes to show the films in a similar format on Oct. 2 and 11. o

"These people are not pro-life, they do not care about the lives of these children. They are pro-birth. They want to see unwanted children abused, battered and bruised by parents who do not care for them." e

Head coach Joan Tamblin was especially happy with the win. The last time Adams State and MSC met, Adams State was difficult to beat, she said "We played Adams State in a tournament earlier this year and at that time they were tough, it was a good sign for us to beat them like we did," Tamblin said. "We're getting better and stronger." Once again the opponent's home crowd played a part in the difficult time MSC encountered with Mesa State. The women lost the first game 11-15, and that height-
