Parking fees can start your car Jacque Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

The Motorist Assistance Program, according to Mark T. Gallagher, is sponsored -. by the parking and transportation office and helps motorists who need any type of simpl~ road service on campus. Gallagher, assistant director of parking and transportation services for AHEC, said the service includes: the jump start of a car battery, the loan of a tire iron to fix a flat, or 'l: help in changing a flat tire. He said they also give motorists a couple of gallons of gas to get them to a gas station, if they've run out. "We basically decided that enough people get stranded down here that if we can help

them out, we'd really be doing a service to the poor person who is stuck," said Gallagher. The service is available to all students, faculty, staff and visitors from 6a.m. until 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, Gallagher said. MAP, which started Aug. 28, bas helped 73 stranded motorists on campus since then, Gallagher said. The most common problem is dead batteries. "Today we've had three,'' Gallagher said, "because it's getting darker earlier in the morning, people rare] leaving their lights on. I anticipated that the day the time change comes we'll probably see a few on that day as well." The service is funded by the parking fees

on campus. The equipment for the service, which Gallagher said totaled about $250, was purchased out of the parking and transportation services funds. Other programs that the parking and transportation office sponsors are the shuttle bus on campus, the Handivan service for people with disabilities and the carpool matching service. "We've received a great deal of positive response from those we've helped, and we hope to be able to help more people,'' Gallagher said. Motorists who find themselves with a flat, out of gas or low on battery steam should contact the nearest parking attendant, or use a phone and call 556-3257. The service is part of your bard-earned parking fees. o

In an effort to achieve a more efficient and productive system, Metro bas proposed a reorganii.ation of the college from three schools into four. If mandated, the proposal would become effective on July l , 1990. Orchestrating the proposal is MSC President Thomas Brewer, who said he believes that now select deans have jurisdiction over too many departments to productively manage them. "It [the problem] is the number of departments,'' Brewer said. "(Under the new proposal] deans can better understand programs." Under the proposal, a new School of Sciences and Technology will be formed with select science classes from the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences and from Professional Studies. As a result, the four schools will be: the School of Liberal Arts, the School of Science and Technology, the School of Business and the School of Professional Studies. According to James Perdue, acting vice president of academic affairs, and Brewer, there are several factors favoring the fourschool system. With the expansion, the result:..Og fourschool arrangement will be evenly divided. Each will have from seven to nine departments and from 66 to 105 faculty members. LAS operates presently with approximately 16departments. Slimming that down, according to Brewer, would make the dean "more ac.countable for quality." According to a memo distributed to MSC faculty last week, the model would afford deans "similar spans of responsibility which will allow them to better understand their schools and represent them." Also stated in the memo is the rationale suggesting that the four-5Chool system "would bring together departments and programs that are related or that are dependent upon one another." As a result, "new synergies in teaching, curriculum development and scholarship [will be developed]." According to Perdue, students should not be able to tell a difference if the proposal is initiated. Faculty feedback to their respective deans will mandate whether or not the model will be put into action. ''Structuring is an administrative prerogative," Perdue said. Elaborating on feedback, and not a vote, determine the proposal's fate. 111 Reorganization pg. 22

For almost ten years, Metropolitan State College has provided a program for persons 60 years and older to attend school tuition free on a no-aedit bm. Metro-Meritus, was first established in 1980 by Mary Ann Weston, a now-retired Metro psychology prof~r. Its purpose is to give people the age of 60 and over an opportunity to attend college. There l\J'C two options available to them. Persons not seeking credit may attend any class by getting prt> approval from the prof~r. They are invited to participate in class discmsions but are not respoDSl'ble for research papers or tests. They may take the elm only on a spaceavailable basis and pay no tuition for attending the course . People seeking credit must go through the same procedures and prerequisites as other credit-seeking students. These students must pay the standard tuition fees. Financial aid is available for them. The program also offers tutoring and counsels senior citizens concerning other learning facilities and

ways to test out of general studies requirements. Metropolitan State College has approximately 43 senior citizen students attending. Alice Lyons-Parker, a counselor for the Adult Learning Services, believes the Metro-Meritus helps give senior citizens a sense of purpose and self-fulfillment "I think it's a wonderful program. I feel that a larger proportion of our population consists of the elderly, and our service gives them the opportunity to expand their educational experience." Aloogwitheducatingtheelderly, Parker feels that younger students gain insight from the participation of the senior citizens. They enlighten an often-youthful class on past experiences and historical events they lived through that the younger students did not 70-year-old Leonard Hurst, an intelligent and energetic Metro student, is a prime example. "I grew up in the '20s during prohibition. I enjoy sharing with the other students experiences rve had in my lifetime. A lot of things have changed for young people today." Hurst has been attending Metro

since the fall of 1985, taking classes mainly in his fields of interest, political science and history. He graduated from the University of Denver in 1949 with a degree in sociology. Hurst first became aware of the Metro-Meritus program when a friend of his, Warren Weston, a ·now-retired Metro political science professor, told him about it Hurst decided to take Weston up on his offer and has attended clwes at both Metro and UCD. He is now

taking two climes, a history class called Gorbachev's Russia and an economics c~ called the international economy. When asked how long he would continue taking college courses, Hurst replied, "I will continue to go to school as long as I am capable and alert." .

Senators delve into MSC·classes Jacque Wllllams The Metropolitan

The 26 legislators who attended Metro on Oct. 10, got some hands on experience about the role of higher education in Colorado. "We wanted them to get a firsthand look at not only the campus, but at our students and the faculty," said Harry Gianneschi, vice president of institutional advancement Gianneschi said the MSC president's offfice sponsored the event. "We stay in close contact with all the legislators, but they very seldom get a chance to interact with students and faculty," Gianneschi said. He said that it's been a decade or more since a groupoflegislators Wited the cam.pm. Legislators were invited to a continental breakfast at the St Francis

Center, followed by a visit to scme cl~. Each legislator was then served lunch at the Student Union and invited to tour the campus. Rep. J eannie Reeser, DTbomton, who sits on the House Education Committee, said her goal is to assure that funds for higher education are not cut and "we make higher education accessible to all students in the state of Colorado, in particular minority students." "Being a minority," Reeser said, "I feel that minorities need to have doors open to them, and I think they have a lot to contnbute to the state of Colorado." Reeser is also an elementary teacher. Sen. Dennis Gallagher, DDenver, who also teaches at Regis College, said "rm a member of the Adult Education Committee, and we try to make sure the commission

Sa Dlula 11111.... lfllU ti 1 ISC apllCll cllll • llgllllllrl dly.

on higher education is doing what it should be." Gallagher has been instrumental in bringing the Irish Debate team to Metro State for the past 10 years. According to MSC speech Professor Gary Holbrook, legislative day is an opportunity for the legislators to see what MSC was founded on. "They're not here to see our research," he said. "They're not here to see some other aspects, but they're here to see what has attracted such a diverse population over the years." Sen. Paul Schauer, R-Littleton, who is chairman of the House Finance Committee, said ''My role has always been to develop a higher education within the state to meet the needs of the constituents."

PhalD by Jllllll Skinner

Sen. Dottie Wham, R-Denver, said she's t een waiting for a day like this because "legislators don't know about Metro. Metro is a little different animal than we have in the rest of our system." Wham works with the Capital Development Committee, which approves such~ as the building of the North Clwroom. She said, "We just have had a terrible time getting capital money for Auraria." The legislators who spoke to classes in all three of Metro's schools, were escorted to cl~ by Metro students. In Dr. Anil Rao'shuman biology, Sen. Bob Schaffer, R-Ft. Collins, hit a nerve when he spoke on the welfare reform program. Hands shot up around the room and a fiery discusmon followed. "Like all politicians walking on thin ice, they've got to appeal to everyone's opinion," remarked MSCjunior Ed Yannett after class. "I think it [the discussion] helped him more than it helped us. He got a lot offeedback." Rep. Dan Williams, R-Edwards, said he enjoyed Robert Haz.an's international relations elm. He said classes like these give the students an ability to participate in democracy. "He [Hazan] is very dynamic and interesting." MSC president Thomas Brewer said he was plenld with the turnout. He said "... for this many legislators to take out this many hours to visit us, I think is a real compliment to the campus and the college." o

Means lashes out at U.S. 'colon·ial tactics' Kurt Ochsner The Metropolitan

Moments before he blasted the U.S. government in a lecture be gave in the North · Classroom, American Indian leader Russell Means celebrated Columbus Day on Monday by pouring animal blood over the statue of Christopher Columbus in front of the state capital. The act, for which he was ticketed by police [he then requested a jury trial], was part of a demonstration by about 200 members of the American Indian Movement [AIM] who marched from the capital to Civic Center Park in protest of Columbus Day. As the protesters' spokesman, Means called Columbus "a mass murderer and a slave trader" and "the epitome of institu-

tionalized racism." The demonstration was symbolic of the main points Means made in his lecture. "I'm sorry I'm late," he began, ''but I just came from an abomination [the statue]." He went on to focus on the economic and social plight of the 120 million indigenous people in the western hemisphere, a plight he blames entirely on European colonists and the U.S. government. Means, a member of the Oglala Lakota [Sioux] nation, was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He gained recognition in the early 1970s as a primary leader of AIM. He has spoken before the United Nations and the U.S. Congress, and he has spoken for and been active in native affairs from Alaska to Brazil. During his lecture, he spoke passionately

for native cultures and bitterly lambasted the government for what he perceives as its atrocities and racist policies against Indians. "The United States of America practices and perfects its colonial tactics on us, then exports them to the rest of the world," he said. "If you don't believe me, check your own records." He listed South Africa, East Germany, Nicaragua, Panama, Gaza and the West Bank as examples of areas that have been influenced by the same totalitarian policies he has seen in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He said Hitler, as stated in the book "Mein Kampf," got his idea for concentration camps from U.S. policies and Indian reservations. He pointed out numerous atrocities against Indians, including the continuing innoculation by the Indian Health Service of 85 percent of Alaskan Eskimo children with a hepatitis vaccine. He said the vaccine was outlawed in 1977 by the World Health Organization because it produces a syndrome similar to that now seen in AIDS cases. He also said the destruction of rain forests in Brazil means the destruction of the Indians who live there. "Before they can cut down those trees, they have to kill us." The killing involves germ warfare, decapitation and forced marches, and "That's be/ore they cut down the rain forests." He sees the situation as a continuation of what has gone on since the arrival of European colonists. "The Indian policy established by Columbus has gone unabated, and it is here todav. It's called 'removal and/or extermination.' " Means advocates the abolition of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which he says has "absolute control" over Indian lives. "We contribute over $3 billion every year to the United States GNP, and you taxpayers are forced through Congress to allocate $2 billion to the administration of Indian affairs." He added, "We Indians live under 5,000 more laws than you do." He said the ideals that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are based on were influenced by the Indian confederacy and way of life, but the Indian role is not recognired because it was an oral rather than a written culture. Under those ideals, he advocates the return of all illegally taken lands and resources to the tribes that lost them. "Forty percent of all natural resource

reserves in this country lie through our • 1land," he said. "If the rules of capitalism were to apply to us, we would be the richest ethnic group on Earth." Throughout his lecture, Means decried the breakup of the family. He said government policy has cut the earning power of the

Am1rlc1n lndl1n l11der Ruaell M11n1.

individual, causing both parents to work and destroying the family. "A society that does not want to perpetuate itself is a society that is easily controlled," he said. He added that government oppression is 11. not confined to Indians. "The family farmer and the family rancher are no longer needed. In fact, they're in the way of the bottom line, they're in the way of corporate socialism," he said. "The family farmer and family rancher is ~ the new Indian of this century, and you're next." Means advocated change through knowledge. "Look into the fallacy of what you've been fed about the United States government ... You've got to start investigting; it's called responsibility." Quoting Chief Seattle's remarks in 1852 to the then-President of the United States, Means said, " 'Continue to contaminate your own bed and one night you will suffocate in your own waste," and "Your time of decay [hasn't happened], but the revolution will .. come.'

Denver has dependent future The Metropolitan

Denver's desire to become an international business hub can only happen through improving education, the environment and our national image, said Paul B. Hoskins, manager of general services for the city and county of Denver. In a speech to Metropolitan State College students, Hoskins said international business will only succeed if students are required to take two or three foreign languages, recycling

programs are improved, and marketing for the convention center is intensified. "We've got to begin to think international," Hoskins said. "The education system needs to deliver literate, responsible students. "We have to stress basic education; this is critical." One MSC student who attended the speech said she doubted students will ever learn more than one language. "It's going to take a lot of work developing the language," said Lori McGill. "Language just isn't s~ in the schools." Hoskins also emphasiz.ed the need to

-a

::r

clean up the environment, which he said would improve the city's image. "We've got to raise everyone's consciousness to the importance of living in a clean city," he said. Improving the environment can be accomplished through the increased use of biodegradable products and a more effective recycling program, he said. It's important that we [the government] set the example," he said. For instance, the city is no longer using any styrofoam pro- • ducts, which are expensive to recycle. City officials are developing a curbside recycling plan as well. These improvements will also make the city more attractive for tourism and business. "The image we have now is it's cold, it's snowy and we're a little bit backward. People think we're a bunch of cowboys," Hoskins said, "The convention center can change that image." In an interview before his speech, Hoskins said the convention center will promote more tourism, which in turn will improve the economy. "Denver's going to rely a lot more on , tOurism than it has in the past," he said. If Denver markets the convention center well, Hoskins said, the convention center can become an economic generator. One way to promote business is to create a friendly atmosphere for visitors. "When they feel that way, they spend money." However, Hoskins contends that an international market is possible only if Denver begins to look for long-term solutions. We've got a lot further to go if we want to o become international," he said.

Incest is a subject of increasing social concern in the United States. Media coverage has focused public attention only recently on this formerly "hush-hush" problem. It generates a universal negative reaction and is rarely a topic of open discussion. Incest is viewed as a gross violation of trust that deserves special concern, yet most people are very uncomfortable dealing with it American culture places a definite stigma on incest. It is a taboo that betrays innocence. It is such a disgrace that most people choose to remain ignorant rather than deal with it However, avoiding the problem does not make it go away. When victims are unable to deal effectively with its traumatic results, the cycle of incest repeats itself from generation to generation. Breaking the cycle is a goal of a unique women's support group on campus. The members thoroughly understand the problems of incest and are happy to help other victiJns,. like themselves move beyond the pain. Established in 1982, Colorado-based WINGS [Women Incested Needing Group Support] was once a small group of women interested in helping others who bad been victimized. Today, it is a vtbrant and influential group .of women representing all walks of life. Last semester, CCD's Woman's Resource Center agreed to house a WINGS support group on the Auraria campus. According to Juanita Gutierrez, director, incest is more common than many people think.

"When we deal with students havmg problems - say with returning to school or with a relationship - it comes up over and over again that the real problem is an incest issue that hasn't been dealt with," Gutierrez said. WINGS defines incest as any inappropriate sexual contact: including the taking or . showing of pornographic pictures or films, lewd comments, explicit sexual stories, sexual innuendoes, inappropriate touching of a child by an adult or by an individual [two or more years older than the child] in the family or in a ~ition of trust Gutierrez said, many of the members are just beginning to realize they were incest victims. Admitting it is a difficult, but neceswy, first step, Gutierrez said. However, it's a step she said most victims never take. "When people talk about something, they acknowledge that it happened. But if they never acknowledge it, they can pretend it never occurred," Gutierrez said. "Women are often afraid to acknowledge incest because it is so devastating that it can destroy a family." Mary Shannon, executive director for WINGS on the Auraria campus, said most women are in their early 30s before they confront incest as a problem in their lives. "By this time the women have usually tried several relationships that were not totally satisfactory," Shannon said. "Or perhaps they've been struggling with depresmon or addictions, only to find themselves in a lot of pain from the incest." Group meetin~ consist of peer victims only, Shannon said. There are no directors or facilitators. Each member of the group

takes a tum leading a meeting. All are notified in advance of the next discussion topic, and members not ready to deal with that particular issue are in no way committed to attend. The only commitment members make is to each other. Anything discussed within the group must stay within the group. "If a woman needs to talk to us, she can talk only about her unique situation," Gutierrez said. ''She can't share with us about others who attend the meeting. Trust is a very big issue with this group." Because privacy is so important, the group does not advertise the times or locatiom of meetin~. Those interested in ioinin~ are asked to contact CCD's Woman's Resource Center at 556-2600, or call WINGS at 777-6406. Response to the group has been relatively slow. Shannon attnbuted this to the fact that it is new, but her main concern is that students are afraid of public identification as incest victims. "For most women who are beginning to deal with incest it's a real private thing," Shannon said. "Not too many other people are aware of their suffering." To help victims understand and solve their problems, Shannon said she frequently uses this analogy: "Incest is like an abscess that remains dormant for many years. It gets pretty tough, but as long as you don't m~ with it, there's no pain. It just increases in size. But as the abscess grows, it gets more painful, and you start to feel pressure. When you decide to get therapy, it's like lancing the abscess. A lot of infection is released. It's a mess, but once you deal with it, the healing process begins from the inside out" o

Kleg drops charge Mary Andersen The Metropolitan

Student Sen. Joel Kleg dropped a charge Thurs. Oct. 5, against the Club Funding Committee that it illegally allotted $400 to the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship after the chairman of CFC admitted that Kleg would win the case in a judicial hearing. "All Kleg wanted was for somebody to admit he was right," Michael Green, chair of the CFC, said on Friday. The day after Kleg dropped the charge, Green gave Kleg the position of religious and political adviser on the CFC, a position of greater responsibility than the one he held before. Wednesday, Green sent Kleg, who was absent from the meeting, a letter asking for his resignation from CFC if he continued to ~ committee meetings. In the previous committee meeting K.leg charged that allotting the group money to attend a religious conference in Texas was a violation of the separation of church and state. The CFC is student funded, and because MSC is a state college, student fees are considered state money.

Green said he reviewed the funding request from the group after the vote and realized the judicial board of ASMSC would rule against it, because CFC is not allowed to allot money to religious organizations for religious purposes. "It was apparent that the money funded [to them] was for a religious conference," Green said. The group will be notified on Monday that the funding request was illegal, and a meeting will be arranged to resolve the dispute, Green said.

Oath taken to fight racism Marv Andersen The Metropolitan

To avoid embarrassment if members of the Associated Students of Metro State College make racist comments, the Student Senate will consider a mandatory oath of office for all its members. When a sub-committee investigated possible impeachment proceedings against Sen. Joel Klegin September for allegedly making racist comments there were no provisions in the bylaws or the ASMSC constitution against making racial remarks. The sub-committee concluded that Kleg had made racist statements, but that he was protected under his constitutional right of freedom of speech, according to the subcommittee's report. Last Wednesday, the rules committee, after debating the wording, legality and appropriateness of the oath, approved placing it on the agenda for the Senate meeting Wem., Oct. 12. The oath, written by Sen. Jim Capps, would require that all members of Student Government pledge ''to uphold the varied racial, cultural and social diversities of

Metropolitan State College." The members of the rules committee quarreled over the appropriateness of the oath, but decided not to hold the bill up in committee. "We can't hold this up here. It's got to be read at the next Senate meeting," said Sen. Michael Jones, chairman of the rules com- i. mittee. "The problem of racism is not going to go away. We have ageism, sexism, homophobia [discrimination against] people with different abilities," Sen. Gerri Madrid said in the meeting. ''This oath is important because we want to use it" "Where do the isms stop? The KKK or the Black Panthers might be part of our constituency ... The oath is a good idea, but we can't impeach people. We might not like racists, or communism ... but rn defend [their rights]," Jones said in the meeting. Vice President Bill Jermance said, ''The oath might help people from becoming loose cannons. Maybe they won't say something they would have because of the oath." To make the oath binding, an amendment to the ASMSC constitution will have to be 111 Oath

Dear Biff, As long as I have been a student at this campus, I don't think I've ever seen anything that offends me as much as your little slam-o-rama advice column. There are people out there who really need help and you seem to be completely insensitive to their needs. You are a sexist, racist jerk and I can't believe the editor of The Metropolitan has the bad judgment to let you stay on his staff. You disgust me. - Biff should be shot

Biff, honey, Dear, you've got to stop writing this column. Everybody hates you and wants to see you hurt. I can't sleep at night, I'm so worried about you. Please Biff, there have been threats to kill you and people are throwing things at the house. -Biff's Mom

Biff, OK buddy, I've stuck my neck out here long enough. I know you wanted to see If you could get enough people on this campus riled up to oust you, that social change garbage and all that. I can appreciate high-minded civic ideals as well as anyone else. But the bottom line is, I've got a whole paper to run, and I can't do that if I am constantly responding to criticism about you. Of course I know it was a trick. Of course I know what a sweet, sensitive man you really are, but people out there just don't get it. Advertisers are calling. The pre~e's really on me, and I have to let you go. So next week you'll be replaced by a columnist that gives out recipes for crumb cake and that kind of garbage. Sorry, buddy. -D.P.

DearBSBS, It may be true that I don't offer the really disturbed on this campus what they need in terms ofmental and emotional support, but I think iJ's unfair ofyou to say I am a racist, sexist jerk. It just so happens that I am a vulnerable human being too, one who doesn't like to be verbally flagellated any more than you. I find you hurtful and vindictive. You disgust me

Mom, I can't stop now. I'm offending enough people that I think maybe they'll all get together and get rid of me. It would be the first big sign of a willingness to get things done on this campus in a long lime. Don't you understand? By being such a jerk, I've become a force for social change. Stick wiJh me, Mom. I promise in the end you'll be proud.

Fit To Be Tied By John C. Roper

It's hard to believe that a Florida jury could acquit a rape suspect because they thought the victim asked for it. But last Wednesday, it happened. The victim, a 22-year-old woman, testified that Steven Lord , a drifter, abducted her at knife point from a Fort Lauderdale restaurant parking lot and raped her repeatedly during a trip north on an interstate. She said she escaped five hours later, about 120 miles from where she was first abducted. Associated Press quoted the jury foreman as saying, "We felt she asked for it for the way she was dressed ... The way she was dressed with that skirt you could see everything she had. She was advertising for sex." I always try to look for the best in people. Some ~eople can come across a little brash and I'll just say,

Yeah ... but they mean well." . Some people can be a little insensitive but I'll usually give them the benefit of the doubt and think, "but maybe they just see things differently than the rest of us." And other people can be just plain stupid and I'll utter, "Well, they've got to be good at something." ~ut ~hese jurors, regardless of what's going on in their minds [and I use the term loosely], are nothing but pond scum. What they've done is to take the most loathsome act that a man can do to a woman and say that, in some circumstances, it's all right to do. Who are they kidding? If this is all right, then in certai~ circumstances, I should be able to walk up to certain ultra-conservative southern jurors and drop them like a two-foot putt because their clothing is 20 years out of style and they talk funny. Some argue that the victim lacked common sense by wearing a lace miniskirt with no underwear. But to say that she deserved to be raped and that she "as'<ed for it" is utterly unthinkable. I thought this was 1989 and that we were actually progressing. Instead, what this jury effectively did was to take us back to an era of witch hunts - they found her to be different and burned her at the stake. This scenario is simply riddled with tragedy. Not just for this particular victim , but for all women who are victims of rape. In the first place, it absolves men of any responsibility for their actions, thus shifting the guilt from the rapist to the victim. Further, it categorizes rape as a sexual crime instead of a violent crime. Despite the opinion of these jurors, rape isa violent act and the fact thata woman is wearing a gunny-sack or a lace miniskirt should have no relevance to a jury's decision. It also sets a scary precedent that enables rapists to make judgment calls about their victims. Again it shifts the blame to the victim.

Plain & Fancy price justified To Belinda Reed, MSC President, Independent Faculty Council: I appreciate your concerns about the ticket prices for the Plain & Fancy Ball "just plain bothering you." However. I must respond as an MSC faculty member, and as a member of the steering committee for the 1989 Plain & Fancy Ball. The price per ticket for this year's ball is exactly the same price as last year's ball. Members of the planning committee felt that $40 per ticket was not an exorbitant price for a dinner, dance and entertainment by the hottest group in town on a Saturday night in Denver. Plus, in comparison to other fundraisers, MSCs is a reasonable price for the evening's events. I might add that many of my students are planning to

attend the ball, have specifically requested that invitations be sent to them and their friends, and in addition, are even volunteering their time to help set up the ballroom and silent auction table displays at the Radisson the night before the event. The overall spirit of faculty and students is upbeat, enthusiastic and full of anticipation about this fun, extremely worthwhile fund-raising endeavor for our institution. Your suggestions for varied admission are certainly appreciated and perhaps will betaken into consideration in planning future MSC fund-raising events.

Les Mis really tres mal? Editor, This letter is directed at Kirt? Ace? Segler, the critic of " Les Miserables." If you want to be a real critic when you grow up, you're well on your way. No matter how good a show is, you critics have to tear it apart. I saw "Les Miserables" from one of the less expensive seats and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you would've taken the time to read the free program which gave a summary of the story, maybe it wouldn't have been "just three confusing hours in Denver." Gary Barker [Jean Valjean]. did a great job. With my seat quite a bit higher and farther back than the stage, Barker could still be heard very well. I didn'tfeel "his voice is too soft to be heard clearly and quivers intermittently throughout the production." Thank you for at least saying a few good things about

the show. All of us who did enjoy it appreciate the effort. I think the show, being sold out for its entire run, speaks for itself. Oh, by the way, did you ask the couple who "had already decided to skip the second act," if they really were skipping out? Maybe they had an emergency or something. Also, about the theater-goer, whose head was "dropping to her left shoulder as she nodded of to sleep." Are you sure she wasn't sick or didn't have a physical handicap? I hope you get a better night's sleep or are in a better mood before you do your next review.

And it recreates the myth that women are guilty and sinful creatures put on Earth for men to do with what they wish. Despite what this jury believed, the problem is not the victim. It's the nut cases that are committing this violent crime. I always thought people were aware of this, and that it was merely common sense to know that the woman had no responsibility for it.

A benefit of living in this country versus anywhere else in the world is that we are GUARANTEED freedom. This freedom can mean the religion we live by, the type of politics we practice or even the way we choose to dress. Freedom is the most basic and underlying principle by which our country is based. Yet, we are continually reminded by individuals who have forgotten this. I don't care how provocatively a woman is clad - no one deserves to be raped . Oh, by the way. Steven Lord is on his way to Georgia 0 - to be tried for a different rape.

Did Jackson really say that? Editor, Tell me it isn't so, Professor Jackson. Tell me you didn't tell a Metropolitan reporter that women facing a traffic citation should "thigh," "thigh and cry," and "grovel." Please tell me, and all other students of MSC, that you really don't believe this in Metro's criminal justice department that if they become police officers, they should not expect nor encourage such behaviors on the part of women. I need to know that the professional instructors at

MSC do not consider women's bodies and emotions as items for trade. I seek assurance that you did not make these comments, even in jest. Because this is not an issue we should be laughing about. The greater Denver community is aware of allegations that some police officers have used the powers of their office to force women to sexual compliance. Alluding to women trading "groveling" for a traffic citation is only painting an ugly picture of all men who serve as police officers, while reinforcing a stereotype

of women who willingly debase themselves as a means of avoiding problems. Because the article was designed to inform students as how to handle traffic citations, there was obviously no need to mention "thighs" and "groveling." You know that don't you, Professor Jackson?

- Lois Ann Kaness Pres. of Assoc. Women Students/MSC

Jackson-S article shouldn ,t have been printed Editor, I was disappointed and angered by the comments of MSC Professor Richard Jackson in the article," 'Wimps and Fools' Pay Tickets," wherein he advised women stopped for traffic violations to expose their thighs and cry in an attempt to avoid getting a citation. Mr. Jackson's condoning and encouragement of the sexual exploitation of wo-iM is unprofessional, backward and

degrading to all women . I am also disappointed that the staff of The Metropolitan chose to run such a sexist story in what I had come to believe was a responsible, sensitive publication. Your recent editorial cartoon illustrating the dramatic and violent sexism so rampant in our culture [September 22, 1989 issue] loses some of its impact when it is followed by an article which promotes

the sexual exploitation of women. Professor Jackson's attitudes as conveyed in this article are repfehensible; it is regrettable that The Metropolitan chose to provide a forum in which these attitudes are made public.

Peter Lake speech wasn ,t a freebie Editor, I enjoyed Judy Floyd's report on Peter Lake's undercover experiences in the white supremacy faction "Posse Comitatus." It was both detailed and informative. However, Mr. Lake didn't just happen to be at St.

Cajetan's on Sept. 26th. He was sponsored by the CU Denver Events Board, and funded by UCD student fees. And as much as I would have liked to have seen a crowd of "(m]ore than 200" turn out for this intriguing lecture, the number was closer to 150. I appreciate your interest and coverage on the Peter

Lake event. Our very own newspaper, The Advocate, neglected to mention it, let alone cover it.

CU retracts memo Met Staff The day after the CU football Coach McCartney story appeared in Westword, a memo from Don Cannalte, assistant to university President Gordon Gee, was sent to all four campuses stating that Westword should be "removed from all mailing lists for news releases and informational materials" and "campus administration will no longer respond to media inquiries from Westword." The memo went on to state that all administrative and academic offices should . refer all inquiries to the university's office of public relations, that advertising would be dropped and representatives of the weekly would no longer be invited to school functions or activities. Once the administration r~ its initial response against the paper it backed down, realizing the requests were im~ible to enforce. Pauline Coker, director of public relations at the Boulder campus, issued her own memo stating that the publication "already had dropped that [Westword] publication from our distribution of press releases and announcements because it rarely uses our iriformation - and when it does, the story often comes out wrong." In the Oct. 11-17 issue of Westword, editor Patricia Calhoun wrote that the biggest blow of the whole ordeal is to the public. "A state institution is accountable to the public, and journalists frequently act as proxies - whether or not the service is requested."

Calhoun ran a copy of the Cannalte memo, the same one that The Metropolitan and The Colorado Daily received, at the top of her editorial. Coker told The Colorado Daily for what it office was too small to handle all media requests and that Cannalte had decided not to pursue the matter any further. - When The Metropolitan contacted Coker, she said, "We don't have a particular policy. We don't consider them a publication of high priority to us." Calhoun said that although her publication would love to have the income from the advertising CU could give, "it's their prerogative to exclude Westword from events and parties." This isn't the first time CU and the media have gone rounds. In 1962, conservative administors at CU blasted the Colorado Daily for what it considered questionable journalistic ethics, going as far as to call the newspaper ''Boulder's version of Pravda." According to a 1984 Denver.J>ost story, a group called CU students for the First Amendment gathered signatures to place a referendum question on the ballot challenging whether The Colorado Daily should oocupy cheap office space in the University Memorial Center. The referendum was soundly defeated by a 70 percent vote of those students who voted. Last spring, Sports Illustrated published a story which summed up the legal problems the school's football team had faced, involving rape, robbery, lW!lult and fighting. The school said it was a hatchet job on the part of author Rick Reilly. D

Question: Auraria Public Safety is: a) A decoration b) A glorified force of security guards c) A bunch of guys who want to be police officers when they grow up d) none of the above. Answer: d) none of the above. "We aren't just like a police department we are a police department," said Sergeant Elmer Daugherty, technical services manager at APS. "Operationally, we are just the same as any other. "Our officers are state-certified, class-one peace officers, just like Denver, Englewood or any other police officers," be said. APS, an entity managed by AHEC, has been in operation since 1974, maintaining a staff of 15 officers and other support personnel. Like other campus operations, APS is subject to the restraints of the Auraria budget and to service demands such as jump starting stalled vehicles and parking enforcement. "This agency is sensitive to the needs of the campus," Daugherty said. "It's like being a member of a large family. On the other band, we will not tolerate lawlessness." As a colleg~pus police force, APS emphasizes education in its approach to law enforcement, Daugherty said. ..We could take more action in some cases than we do, ~ut we do a lot of advising, ~isting," he said. Because APS officers are state officers,

~-'!President

they can be called in to assist on any other campus in Colorado, but there is usually plenty to do at Auraria, Daugherty said. "We're always busy. We don't have any slack time, though it might seem that way," he said. Each officer works five of seven eighthour shifts per week, with three shifts a day, making APS a 24-hour operation. APS shares jurisdiction over the Auraria campus with the Denver police department. The APS staff size, like other aspects of the agency, is governed by the AHEC budget, Daugherty said. Is APS undermanned? ''Not at this point," Daugherty said. "There are times when, because of schedules, somebody has to put out an extra effort. But I think you have that in any organization." More officers would be welcome, however, "if the community wants an increase of service, an increase in visibility," he said. Overall, Daugherty considers APS to be a strong organization. "I think this is a very healthy department. We do everything with a lot of planning and consideration. We're real progressive, but rd like to see us stay that way," be said. Public safety will be the topic of APS Crime Prevention Week, which begins Oct. 16. Activities and seminars scheduled throughout the week will include ~ions on such topics as date rape and racial violence, a seat belt campaign and priz.e dra~.

Have you ever wanted to just run off to the circus and become a clown? Just kick off your sneakers, trash your textbooks, shed yow troubles and hop on a train? Well, Karen Bell did just that. She has been a clown in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus for fow years. Right now, at 31 years old, she's the oldest clown in the circus. But before she was a clown, she was a CU premed student, an artist and a dancer. She went to Bear Creek High School, then spent her first year of college in Gunnison at Western State. Bell then transfen-00 to the University of Colorado-Boulder. She attended CU for about two and a half years. "Right before I graduated I went 'Whoa, wait a minute, what am I doing?' and left," she said laughing. Bell also attended Rocky Mountain School of Art and got an associates degree in sculptwe. "It's [the sculpting] come in more hand} than my premed," she said with another laugh. In fact, Bell, dressed in a rag doll dress with wings sprouting from the back, long pink shoes that flop when she walks and a mop-top wig seems to laugh a lot. And it isn't just because, as a clown, it's her job to laugh and be laughed at. She truly seems happy with the choice she made in life, even if the choice did just kind of fall in her lap. Bell had been living in San Francisco for about a year and taking classes with a small circus called the Pickle Family.

"When Ringling Brothers came through town, my best friend sent me to the audition. I thought 'Ah, what the heck, why not'r I went to the audition and just kind of got swept away from there," she said. Bell said that the Clown College is a requirement for the clowns in the show. They audition all year long and then pick about 60 people to go to the school. Then, depending on how many clowns the circus needs, they choose from the graduates. Bell was one of about 20 clowns chosen in 1986. Bell said while the pay isn't great, the life of a clown appeals to her because of the travel. "Certainly I enjoy touring," she said. "It [pause] living on a train, you know. The whole lifestyle is so different and its such a gypsy [pause] something you don't get a chance to do, and making people laugh is a lot of fun ... it's exciting." · A typical schedule for the circus performers, Bell said, is arriving on the train Monday morning, depending on how long the train run is, and running to the nearest laundromat and grocery store. Tuesday is set-up day, and a performance follows at rught. There are usually two shows the rest of the week. They have three shows on Saturday. Then, after the show on Sunday night, they pack up the train and are usually out of town by 2 a.m. Bell said time spent on the road varies, but on the average, the circus travels l 1 months of the year. On their time off, they rehearse. The circus performers, all 300 of them, have their own rooms on the train, with the exception of some of the larger families that travel by trailer, Bell said. "It's a lot nicer than living in hotels

because it's yours, you know. You open the door. You know it's gonna be there. You've got yow pictwes on the wall, you've got yow stuff there." Bell doesn't seem to mind living on a train, with the ~ible exception of the neighborhoods sometimes. Train yards are not always in the nicest part of town. "And really, when you're in a bed, and the train is moving, it's like a cradle, you sleep most of the run because it's so relaxing - rocking -it's real nice, very pleasant." Holidays are family time for the performers. Circus family, that is. Bell said groups get together, "Especially Thanksgiving because we're working Thanksgiving, and

Bell says Christmas doesn't really seem like Christmas in Florida, but they make their own holiday fun. "The train rooms are very small because there are so many of us, so you don't really have a chance to have a tree on the train. Well, if we're down in Florida on rehearsal we'll get up a big tree in the rehearsal area we have down there." Sadly enough for her audience, this will be Bell's last year on the road. She won't quit "clowning around," but she's going to give up her room on the tr3in. ''There are a lot of other ~ible facets of ..,__ this company that I'd like to try." So clowning isn't just fun and games. It's a lot of hard work. Hours of practice followed by hours of performing. And while life on the road must get lonely sometimes, there is not time for sad faces. After all, the show o must go on .:. and on ... and on.

Jacque Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

The circus has come to town and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus will be at the Denver Coliseum until October 15. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of "The Greatest Show On Earth"? Well, I have, and this week I got a chance to see behind the flaps of the big top right before the show. The experience took my breath away, and it wasn't just because 18 elephants paraded past me as I stood soaking up the atmosphere. And it wasn't exactly what I expected. I was expecting an overpowering smell of greasepaint amidst a mass hysteria of preparation. I had anticipated my intrusion would be met with an attitude of "Get out of my way, I've got a job to do." What I got was just the opposite. I got a glimpseofa way life so foreign to me that I left wishing I had a week to spend with these people, just to observe and learn why they might choose this transient life. . ' No smell of greasepaint, but I did detect a heavy manurelike aroma in the air. Nor was there any mad rushing around with last-minute preparations. Everyone was calm; they knew exactly what to do and when to do it. They do this seven days a week, sometimes 48 weeks out of the year. They are true profes.5ionals. And I received a warm reception from everyone I "ran" into. This isn'tjustajob for these people, it's truly a way of life. An extraordinary life! The circus people travel from town to town on a train. They eat and sleep on the train. They LIVE on the train. There are single people, brother and sister teams, entire families in this circus. They travel together and work together. And when there's a show to do, they all head over to the arena together. This night the families of the performers are all backstage. One of the children is celebrating his birthday. There are gifts and party hats. The children, about 20 of them, seem oblivious to the props and performers surrounding them, oblivious to the "Greatest Show On Earth" going on right behind the huge swinging doors. They eat cake and play pool on a miniature table. One of the stagehands hangs a pinata from a rafter, and over the sound of applause from the circus audience in the arena you can hear the laughter of the children backstage as they break open the pinata and scramble for the candy. In one comer, a clown sprays whipped cream in a pie pan for three young boys, who take off running with a look of mischief in their big brown eyes. In another comer, a small boy is wrestling with a clown no bigger then himself. All the while, a baby sleeps in a stroller in the makeshift ''nursery." Even the animals seemed unaffected by the show that is about to take place. Eighteen elephants in a row are eating their dinner. The horses wait patiently to be fitted with their elaborate costume ham~. Three camels smooch in a corral. The black panther appears to be in a trance as he stares at the pen of regal-looking Russian wolfhounds. The dogs don't even notice, but the panther's look makes me feel uneasy. Steve-0 is petting Tina's head and whispering to her. she rolls on her back and shows her teeth. Tina is a tiger, literally. Steve-0, a stagehand from Alabama, has been with the circus for six years, and he says he's not afraid ofbeiJu{ bitten by Tina. After all, he says, his is the hand that fee& her. In one trailer, a woman is sewing costumes. Blue hoopskirts, looking like miniature igloos, line a path to her door, waiting to be occupied by the dancers in the next show. Outside the trailer, a man is repairing a pair of cowboy boots. Next door, two acrobats are lifting weights inside the "gym" trailer. A stagehand takes a nap on the floor. There is a strange calm in the air. The clowns have finished their warm-up in the arena. Tonight they are playing to a full house. The lights are dimmed. Blinky, Denver's own popular clown, is led to center stage to play guest ringmaster for the evening show. The whistle blows and the "Greatest Show On Earth" begins, once again. 0

MISCELLANEOUS RAMBLINGS

The - driving zone Elena Frldland The Metropolitan

.·

Great equalizers exist in this world love, apathy, taxes and death. But the great unity of this country is not due to politics or other emotional matters. What makes so many of us a big family of brothers, sisters and second cousins at heart is driving a car. Every city has a rhythm and pace that its drivers create and then adhere to. For example, the Chicago driver honks and speeds up as she or he screeches around corners. New York traffic crawls during most of the daylight hours while New Yorkers curse and gesture. Although many of them have given up and take the subway, there is still no parking to be found. In Los Angeles, driving is a matter of style: looking good in your car, looking like you're not looking and looking out for vans spitting gunfire at you on the highway.

In Bloomfield, Missouri, the idea is not to swerve around ditches and holes, but to see how high your truck will jump when you hit them at 55 mph. Now, in Denver, the nose-picking capital of the free world [look around when you stop at a redlight anywhere], driving is approached with all the lightness of a Bronco game. It's not how good you drive, because everyone knows that Denverites are the best drivers in the world. No, the object of this game is to arrive there first, getting as many people as possible pissed off at you in the process. You must begin by having defense, offense, lungs and finger at the ready. Rotate the eyes first to the right then to the left. No one said backing out of the driveway is easy. Gripping the steering wheel, so that even death cannot separate you from your beloved car, squinting at the enemy [all those other cars out there] as your heart beats loudly in anticipation. You are psyched, ready and raring to go. You've got some butt to kick! Ever notice how few drivers rest their elbows outside any more? Hell, you don't have time for fooling around. You are on a mission from God. And God forbid that your loved one should mention that you are exceeding the speed limit! Hell hath no fury like a driver criticized. You point out that you know every speed trap in Denver. Besides, no one else is observing the speed limit. Since you have the ability to see police through bushes and bricks for miles around, it's only an insensitive

slob who could say a word against the pure beauty and perfection that constitutes your driving. Reducing your tormentor to tears is merely a clever ploy in the cruel, hard game of driving; plus, it gives you an opportunity to distract the p~ngers so they don't notice you're going the wrong way on a one-way street. Not to worry. Lucky for you there is an excuse that works every time: "Hey, it's the Denver roads." Parking doesn't prove to be too difficult a task in the capital of Colorado. While a lot of people [sorry, statistics are being analyzed and laughed over by the highway department] take up two spaces, the more resourceful ones go for the handicapped spaces. Like they say, all is fair in love and driving. It's been rumored there are places in this world where the pedestrians have rights; where people walk to the store and back, even though their cars are working; where drivers know that driving is a privilege, not a right; where cutting a person off while changing lanes [because you assume that even the sea will part if you show your turn signal] is considered rudeness, not victory. But such never-never lands must lie just beyond the rainbow. By getting a license in Denver you will taste the power, the glory and the sweetness of the metal monster at your control. At the next stop ... heck, there really are no stops, merely islands where you can gather your strength before the next battle on the road. You have entered the Denver driving zone. So, go-go-go-go. o

"I knew at that point I really hated that man to the point of killing him. What keeps me from doing that is that it is more of a wrong to do that, and I don't want to stoop my ideology that low."

Sharon Harms The Metropolitan

A young man graduated from high school with a 4.5 GPA [on a scale of 5.0]. He went to the Colorado School of Mines on a scholarship, carried a 3.376 GPA and was on the Dean's list. Warren Gaal, now a part-time MSC student, had the world by the tail. Then it happened - Gaal had the green light on Louisiana Ave. and rode his motorcycle onto Colorado Blvd. A man driving on that busy street failed to stop at the red light. The motorcycle hit the car. "He was behind another car, so I couldn't see him," Gaal wrote in an account of the accident and its aftermath. Obviously, the accident wouldn't have happened if the driver of the car had stopped for the red light. But Warren Gaal, then 20, was not wearing a helmet. Gaal said his hair was wet from swimming at Celebrity Sports Center, and he chose not to wear his helmet so his hair could dry durin~ the five-block ride to his girlfriend's house. Gaal suffered a fractured skull and a ~ broken ear bone. The fractured skull resulted in an injury to the left rear brain. He went into a coma and stayed that way for two weeks. He said that he remembers nothing about the accident. And as for the 20 years prior to that fateful date - May W, 1984 - Gaal said it's hard to sort out what is memory and what he was told. "I had to relearn everything," he said. First he relearned walking, talking, eating and dressing himself. He has much praise for the staff at Craig Hospital for teaching him those fundamental skills and for his mother who taught him to dress himself. Questioned about reading and spelling, Gaal realized that, indeed, those most basic skills were remembered. After he was on his feet, he went back to the Colorado School of Mines and repeated the courses he had passed before the accident But he quit about a year and three months ago due to the depressed state of his field, petroleum engineering, and the frustration of not being able to graduate with his original class. Gaal said that at first he felt anger at the driver of the car he hit. But anger gave way to feeling sorry for the man because of how he must have felt hitting someone on a motorcycle. Gaal said that presently he doesn't have any feeling about the man who he feels caused him to abandon his dream of graduating from the Colorado School of Mines. "The accident at an intersection was not __ my fault because I had a green light, and he went through a red light," Gaal wrote. In the margin l:>fGaal's already mentioned typewritten account, it is revealed just how angry Gaal was toward the man behind the wheel of the car he hit Gaal had written in that original account -~. that he planned to attend the "court setting" of the man he hit. Later he scrawled in the margin that he didn't go and went on to express that he was amazed at the knowledge he had before the accident.

Soviets 'meet' Metro Michael Morris The Metropolitan

Road To Auraria

•

The four Soviets stepped inside St. Francis Center and surveyed the reception. They signed the guest book, put name tags on and subtly mingled with Auraria's international students, faculty and administrators. Except Andrei. Andrei Amlinsky, 27, who elected to keep his Ray Ban sunglasses on indoors, was busy handing out replicas of Soviet military medals and wallet-sized calendars. And his business card. He works for "Komsomolskaya Pravda," the Young Communist League newspaper. He interviews any musical groups that come to Moscow, like Billy Joel, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue. He hopes to interview Elvis, he joked. The Soviet foursome, Michail Chobanyan, 39, industrial psychologist; Victoria Butenko, 34, educator; Yury Sinakov, 50, journalist; and Andrei are part of a Soviet delegation of 20 in a program called "Soviets, Meet Middle America." They arrived in America almost three weeks ago and have traveled to Michigan, California and Colorado. After Colorado, these four rejoin the others in Washington, D.C. The program enlists host families that are the Soviet's link to Middle America. And for 19 days, the visitors consult with their counterpart professional peers in the United States, and incidentally experience everything American: food, shopping malls, sports, local civic clubs, even P.T.A. meetings. "Soviets, Meet Middle America" is a grass roots approach to international diplomacy c reated by the Center for U.S./U.S.S.R. lnitiatives, of San Francisco. Also sponsoring the program is the Soviet ·Peace Committee in Moscow. Sharon Tennison, executive director, said,

"This program will create multiple channels of communication and cooperation and ... improve the superpower relationship. We have wished for some magic turn of events that would bring our two peoples together for a safer world." The Center's other goal is to bring, by year's end, 400 Soviet citizens to the "heart of America." The program is one of acculturation. Isolationism is out, Glasnost in. Dick Hart, economi~ professor at CCD~ hosted two of the Soviet visito{'S in his Littleton home from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3. He and Mike Barbick of the office of international programs, AHEC, coordinated the Soviet's coming last Tuesday on campus. Economically speaking, Hart said, "The Russian is poor when be travels outside his country, and the American is rich when traveling in Russia, due to the exchange rate of the dollar and because the ruble is not convertible." Andrei still had not taken off his coollooking American shades. He sat comfortably on the blue couch taking questions and calmly watching the students. He said, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, that while in Michigan be bought a Cadillac and had it shipped home. A Cadillac? "El Dorado," said Andrei. Elvis, he was reminded, liked Cadillacs. He smiled. He reached into his black satchel, pulled out a gold-colored belt buckle and handed it to a student. ''This was mine when 1 was in the [Red] army," he said. The student turned it over and over, coveting the unusual prize. On it, the familiar hammer and sickle insignia was embossed. Hammer and sickle - implements, it seems, of construction. o

Peace Corps: one remedy to slow economy Monlque Maldonado The Metropolitan

With graduation only a few months away for some of us and with Denver•s economy at a crawl, it seems probable that many of us will work as waiters and secretaries while in pursuit of THE JOB. Sound depressing? It doesn•t have to be. Actually, more and more grads are finding exciting alternatives to waiting on tables after graduation. For Robin Chandler, a 1987 MSC grad, the solution - and the challenge - came as r a two-year stint in the U.S. Peace Corps. After six weeks of intensive lan~e classes, I 0 weeks of Corps training and extensive medical examinations, Chandler, a biology and chemistry major, was sent to Cameroon, West Africa, a place Chandler < affectionately calls the "armpit" of Africa. In Cameroon, Chandler taught math and science at the junior high and lower high school levels. "I had 70 kids to a class, with three to a desk - so they cheated a lot," Chandler said _ with a laugh. "One thing about it, though, is - that you can send them out to cut grass for an hour as punishment!" Culture shock is a given when going overseas, Chandler said But she was pleased with her quarters at the boarding school where she was to teach. "I lived on the side of Mount Kupe [a volcano]," she said. "It was kind of scary, but I ended up living in my own tiny house - which actually had a flush toilet I also had a generator that ran from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. I learned to get all my grading

done real early." Dealing with cultural differences was one thing Chandler had to learn immediately. "In Cameroon, womenaren•t treated well at all by men;' Chandler said. "And African men think that white women are prizes. They tend to put them up on pedestals." But, Chandler said, once everyone realiz.ed she was there to do a job and not to threaten their lives, people's attitudes toward her changed drastically.

Peace Corps, those interested in international issues, working overseas and the excitement of new places and experiences just might qualify. "For some volunteers, ifs an issue of giving a part of themselves," Moritzky said. "For others, in part, it's serving America with a peace philosophy." Most volunteers are 21, however, the age of volunteers serving overseas ranges up to 80 years old. Moritzky said volunteers over 50 are extremely valued. "They're real valuable resources especially in other countries where the elderly are given more respect," she said. For Moritzky and her husband, who were Peace Corps volunteers, there was an element of adventure involved. "I'd been involved in social work, and we both felt we were in a mid-career spot." she said. "We waited I 0 years after applying the first time, then just left our home. our jobs, everything - to go to Tunisia." In Tunisia they taught English and received a living allowance to cover housing, food, essentials and a little spending money. Even so, Moritzky said, for the first three months all she wanted to do was go home. "It was a real dramatic change. You feel like you can•t cope. It makes you realize depths and heights of living that you never expected." Moritzky said her four years abroad taught her to step back and look at things from a different perspective. She said she now has more of a wide-angle view of life. "It taught me I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to," she said.

My experience made me realize

that changes aren't that big a deal. It really doesn't matter. In the scope of things, If the water won't come on.

"The women were so friendly to me," she said. "They really made me feel a part of them." For Chandler, learning to live as a minority in a black-dominated society was only one of the valuable lessons her experiences afforded her. "My experience made me realiz.e that changes aren•t that big a deal;' she said. "It really doesn•t matter, in the scope of things, if the water won't come on. Living there made me a lot more independent." So what kind of person goes into the Corps? According to Barb Moritzky, area manager of the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.

Although most volunteers have very positive experiences during their stays, in some countries, such as Tunisia, almost 15 percent of female volunteers choose to leave. "It's hard to be accepted in a culture where women are seen as inferior citizens," Moritzky said. "You have to let go of attitudes, and there•s a risk sometimes of losing track of yourself." While some volunteers have a hard time adapting, others adapt _so well to their foreign homes that they have a difficult time returning to the fast pace and culture of the United States, said Linda Humphreville, public affairs specialist at the Denver Corps recruiting office. To help their adjustment back in the states, volunteers receive $200 for each month•s service abroad. More than 50 graduate schools provide tuition waivers and scholarships for returning volunteers, and some school loans may be reduced or even forgiven based on the length of service. "Some people change their minds about their career goals after serving," said Humphreville. "And with President Bush's push toward national export development, I think volunteers are going to have an edge. They'll have a foot in the door." Volunteers• real ~ion is to help people help themselves, said Humphreville. "That's really what developing peace and undero standing is all about...

Friendship Festival: a world of success Brian A. Gallagher The Metropolitan

A lone bumper sticker clinging to the side ofa guitar case summed up this year's World Friendship Festival, "One Love - One People - One Destiny," was all it read. The festival was held Oct. 4 and 5 in the courtyard of St. Francis Interfaith Center. "It's an opportunity for the international students to show off their wares and their food," said Jim Schoemer, interim executive vice president for administration of AHEC. Schoemer said there were nearly 1,000 international students on the campus. The event was sponsored by all three schools on campus and featured more than 60 countries. Coordinating the activity was left to the Student Union. Barb Weiske, assistant director ofStudent Union services, said the annual festival began as a spring event in 1982. The festival was moved to the fall semester "because it was in heavy competition with Cinco De Mayo, awards ceremonies, people getting ready to graduate and finals" Weiske said. "It seemed to take off much better when it was in the fall; it was a really good move." Rosemary Fetter, working with public information for AHEC, said the festival has "evolved" and "grown over the years." The festival had about 2,000 students and p&S&:rs-by on Wednesday. Fetter said the Spring International Language Center "really deserves some credit for the festival. They've worked so hard and are a large part of what it's about." The Spring International Language Center helps foreign students learn the English language

compelled to have a bratwurst, one of her favorite delicacies. "My son can cook 'em," she said. "But he can't cook 'em like this, and he loves 'em. But I swear this is better. And the music is good." Mahoney has been coming to the campus for years to attend church. One of the chefs who can "cook 'em," is Sherry Pennypacker, secretary of the MSC German club. This is the club's first year at the festival, and they "had an excellent day," Pennypacker said, "it's been a good solid busy day." Pennypacker, an MSC junior, had only one complaint. "I wish they would advertise better. People seem to be just straggling over because they hear music and smell the food." She also said that a lot of the foreign language students didn't know about it. "I wish they had a banner. I don't know what this is," Jeff Altman, a UCO senior, said Altman, dancing from a seated position said, "I like the music." Besides the music, Altman also enjoyed the people. "You know what I like about this crowd? It's not all white people. Probably cause it's not in the North Classroom." Altman, driven by the reggae beat, liked the buttocks-length dreadlocks of the band, "because they're so long." The band, the 1-gyptians, received more praise from Altman. "I've worked with a lot of bands in town," he said, ''these guys are tight, tight." This is the 1-gyptians third year at the festival, Moyo Ankh-amon, the keyboardist said. "Good food, good vibes and good

in preparation for entering Auraria schools. The festival is gaining a reputation for the international cuisine served every year. "I mostly enjoyed the food," Fetter said. "It's reasonably priced, it's delicious, with a good variety." Fetter's favorite delicacy was the Vietnamese egg rolls. Alcohol was served at past festivals. This year, however, there were no beers, wines or cocktails in sight. "Nobody seems to mind," Fetter said. "It seems to go on just fine," without alcohol. Next year, however, organizers are considering gathering a host of international beers to add to the menu. Hilary Purfield, working at the ALPACA [MSC's archaeology club] food table said, "It's busy. We've sold a lot, and we're going to run out of food." Many of the organizations ran into similar problems. The ALPACA table served tamales and green chile. "I've noticed a lot of foreign people are trying our food, which is nice," Purfield, an MSC sophomore, said. Still, she prefers the papas rellenas from the neighboring Peru table. Chuck Trujillo, an MSC senior, said he and friends, "came down to support the Deutscher K.lub," MSC's German club. "We had bratwurst, sauerkraut and chocolate cake. The food is fabulous. The music is great. We're just having ourselves a wild time." Trujillo wasn't the only one having a great time. Mrs. Mahoney, 71, said "I heard the music and came over to see what was going on." Upon reaching the festival, Mahoney was Aurarla

"It's funny," she said "You never know if what you do is going to come across. We had over 3,500 fliers and banners" acr~ the campus. The menu for the festival included: Vietnamese egg rolls and rice, tamales and green chile, Korean galbi, mandu and kembap, Colombian pata cones, Peruvian stuffed potatoes [papas rellenas], French chocolate mousse, Japanese yakituri, sushi, Greek baklava, Indian tacos, spiced rice and lentils, barbecue ribs and chicken, bratwurst and sauerkraut, and a score of baked goods.

Metro football tries

to overcome stereotypes ,.._

Scott Moore The Metropolitan

'i..

,.,

Word has it that a bunch of misfits, rivaled only by the crew from "Animal House," have ~mbled together in hopes of forming something that vaguely resembles a football team. In actuality though, these "high school rejects" - as they've often been called - are really quite good and are out to try and change that label that has been unfairly tagged on them. Contrary to popular belief, there is a football team at Metro. They do wear the same color uniforms and want nothing more than a fair shake for once in their lives. There is no scholarship or money involved, except what they have to pay to play. Yes, they do pay to play football. And somewhere along this rocky path fame and glory has eluded them. This team is probably more nontraditional than the school itself, but they play for reasons that have passed the game by. "I love this game; it's pretty much what I live for," said Scott Wallace, a player with major-college size and "potential" written all over him. "Having to pay motivates you and makes you an even better player. I liftall year round for this." Wallace is hoping to go to a big school that can test his abilities, after this year. Even the coaches for the Roadrunners admit that at times they wonder what they're doing here, but it's easy to put into perspective. T.J . Cole heads up the effort when he's not running around playing policeman or cracking the books himself. "I looked at it as a challenge," he said. "You get stubborn, even with all the hurdles in front of you. At times you pull your hair out and wish there were three more of me, but there just isn't." Fortunately, he gets a hand from assistant Colin W. Clarke ill, who played defensive back for the University of Texas. When looking around at some of the players, it's easy to see why most of them weren't recruited out of high school. After the first hit though, one might think differently. "Anybcxty on this team, in the proper atmosphere, could play almost anywhere. Size doesn't matter," Cole pointed out. "It's what's in the heart" Meet Dan Hollander, 21, a compact 5'4" and 180 pounds, who looks like he should be in the stands cheering. "The Doctor," as he has come to be known, has other ideas. He knew be was onto something his freshman year in high school when he lined up across from a 6'9", 215-pound giant that he readily disposed of by taking advantage of his technique.

"At one point I bad injured 17 guys who were much bigger than me. That's how I got the nickname "Doctor," he said. On the other end of the spectrum there's Larry Bailey, a balding, 36-year-old wide

receiver who is trying to keep himself young and in good shape. He does not have a major at MSC, but is interested in commercial art. He served in the Air Force for four years and attended Colorado Instiutute of Art for two. Bailey is nearly old enough to be half the team's father, and they let him know it. "I'm used to the ribbing; I really enjoy it. But at times l beat them up pretty good," be said with a laugh. "This team stuff is great and l had really missed it." A little bit of variety goes a long way for these misfits. A coach that comes to practice in arrest mode, with gun at left side, night stick at right. Part of practice turns out to be the art of self-defense, much to the player's delight. A Ralph Malph look-alike - Sean Hogue - wh~ is anything but, with his quiet demeanor. The owner of a restaurant, that' would be James Chavez, who welcomes everyone to his restaurant. And this list goes on. For Cole, who also is not paid, be bas come to the point where he relies upon these guys. Three of bis players have gone on to play elsewhere and be estimates that at least 15 this year have a chance. He said the best fullback in the state is right here at Metro Mike BoatriJ?ht. Of bis players, he said, "There's not an NFL, college or high school team that works as hard as these guys." What he wants to teach the players is "how to win in life; that no matter how bad it gets I can win." There is a following, too. Although it's mostly parents, most people say they might cot be here if not for the support of friends and family. But for most it's a dream and an outlet. "It's a dream chance for me," said Hollander, whose brother Joel also plays for the team. "I wasn't recruited and wanted to play bad. Now it's something that I do for me." "I enjoy the game and for me it's a chance to meet some new guys and escape from the real life," junior Ed Gadson said. 'Troy Puga has seen both ends ofthe rope. He has been both a coach and player for the team said the biggest lesson is earning the respect of players and coaches alike. For the outsider looking in, it's simple. Bring your $50 and show up for practice three times a week. Everyone plays and the bug hits you like an addiction. "You can't get away from it," Cole said. "every two minutes you get an idea and you start doodling." 0

ROTC can hone path to success '

"We're not the trainers of fighters," Tatum said. "We teach leadership." Students learn leadership skills by being exposed to more responsibility as they go through the program, Tatum said. For instance, senior cadets planned and implemented the recent fall weekend field training exercises where second-and third-year cadets got hands-on training in various leadership roles. Cadets build self-confidence by tackling tasks that become more difficult with time. The same principles are employed in ROTC classes, which emphasize a participatory discussion format. Students probably get enough ex~ure to the lecture/take notes format in their other classes, Tatum said. Whether it's in the Army or in corporate life, Tatum said, knowing how to deal with people is essential to success, and effective communications skills are paramount. ROTC students learn to hone their communication skills by repeated exposure to written and verbal work. Shy or reluctant students are pushed to participate and excel, he said A myriad of training situations offers students the chance to improve their leadership abilities, Tatum said. Students are watched closely - the Armv. like oriviite ,corporations, looks for those with the tenacity and desire to succeed "If you find someone who strives to succeed, that's the person you want to hire," Tatum said. The program·also encourages students to succeed academically, whatever their chosen

Gus Winterfeld The Metropolitan

If you listen to recruiters from major U.S. corporations, people skills, the ability to lead and to communicate effectively seem to have fallen low on college students' priority lists. This seems particularly true, some say, of students in more technical fields where communication is critical. Whether it's because students don't have enough time to learn such skills or these skills have been de-emphasiud by curriculum changes isn't clear, but it seems clear that something must be done. And, according to Col. Larry D. Tatum, the chairman of Metro's department of military science, students may wam to consider enrolling in the Army ROTC program in the school of professional studies. Tatum, who has been teaching soldiers for almost 20 years, arrived in July from Illinois, where he served as chief adviser to the state's National Guard, to head the department. Prior to that he served at U.S. Army Headquarters in Heidelberg, West Germany. Although the primary mission of ROTC is to commission future Army officers, Tatum doesn't expect to commission everyone that enrolls in the program. Students that don't go on to a commission can learn valuable skills that are transferable to corporate life.

Tatum said, "we need competent leaders." The same can be said of any corporation, -and Army ROTC is one method offostering that competence. Army ROTC offers courses through Metro's school of professional studies and is open to all students. Non-scholarship students may enroll in classes for the first two • years without any commitment to the Army. · At the end of October and continuing through mid-January the military science department is accepting applications for two- to three-year scholarships. The scholarships offer I 00 percent tuition, $195 a semester for books and a $100 a month stipend for 10 months each year. o

field of study may be, Tatum said. Cadets are told their degree comes first and they can't get commissioned without one. In order to receive an Army commission a student must carry a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average, and scholarship students are expected to carry a 3.3 or better. The primary criterion when it comes to getting a commission, is grade point, Tatum said. Students not in the top 15 to 20 percent of their class probably won't stand much of a chance of getting a regular Army commission. A regular commission is the Army's way of identifying students who are most likely to make the Army a career. "To make the Army run competently,"

For those of you who are worrying about what to do over spring break and anticipate having at least $449 lying around, some travel agency in town with an apparent ageism problem is putting together a cruise to Cancun and Cozumel for young students. 1- ·~ Its press release reads, "Cruise ship programs have previously been virtually inaccessible to college students. Most major cruise lines allow no more than 10% of their overall ship population to be in the 18-24 year age group, which permitted their older clientele to proceed with their sbuftleboard and polka contests. NOT ANYMORE!" It is not known if any of Metro's famous and trotted-out-for-show-when-it's-convenient nontraditional students will be welcome on this "all-inclusive type of getaway." But for y those interested in the fact that the drinking age is 18 in international waters, you can call 1-800-258-9191 or write to Campus Beach Club, 1888 Sherman St., Denver 80203. However, these nice folks expect to be sold out by the end of this month. You kiddies have a nice time, ya hear? Us oldtimers will try to have a nice batch of chocolate chip cookies waiting for you when you get back. Ob, and don't forget to rinse out your bathing suits every night, and don't forget to use a good sunscreen. And never swim alone. And call me every night ' so I don't worry. You know how I worry. Oct. 16 is Alcohol Awareness Week, sponsored by MSC Student Activities. [I guess they want everyone at Metro to be "). aware of alcohol.] Several organizations will be represented by booths [what, no people?] in the breezeway of the Student Union on the main floor. [I have no idea where that is, but if you just scout around I'm sure you'll find it.] Flu shots start Oct. 16 at the MSC Student Health Clinic and continue until the vaccine is all gone. Flu shot times are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. except Wednesdays it's 10 to I. If you just want to talk about it, call 556-2525.

"In a Pig's Eye" ... No, no it's not an expletive. It is one of a score of films and film shorts presented by independent film makers at the 12th annual Denver International Film Festival. Although a number of prominent films, like Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors," are represented, the festival, which opens Thurs., Oct. 12, bas a commitment to showing the works ofindependent film makers, said Gloria Campbell, director of public relations. Many of the shorts, documentaries and foreign films produced by the independents rarely have an audience outside the festival, Campbell said. The festival will honor its commitment with the presentation of the first John Cassavetes Award, named after the actor/ director who died last February, to Steven Soderbergh director of "sex, lies and videotape," she said. "We've never given an award of any kind," Campbell said. But Cassavetes had such an impact on American film making, an award in his name to praise and encourage other independent film makers seemed called for. Cassavetes, whose films were often studies of the darker reaches of the human mind, was known as a maverick in the film industry circles. His films "Shadows," "Faces,""A Woman Under the Influence," "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" and "Opening Night" will

be shown at the festival, as will Soderbergh's "sex, lies and videotape." Actor Seymour Cassel, who appeared in many of Cassavetes' films, will present Soderbergb with the award at the opening ceremony at Women's Bank/ The Broker Restaurant, 821 17th St., Campbell said. Other open-night festivities include the world premiere of Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors" at the Paramount Theatre, starring Allen, Mia Farrow, Alan Alda, Angelica Houston, Martin Landau and Sam Waterston. The remaining seven days of the festival, which closes Thurs., Oct. 19, are filled with more than 100 films divided into various categories: contemporary cinema, documentaries, critic's choices, children's programs, tributes, new American cinema and special events. The films will be shown primarily at the Tivoli theaters. The broad selection includes a taste of experimental cinema, packaged in a program titled ''Personal Excursions" and the works of a number of first-time film makers. The festival bas a reputation for being "adventuresome," Campbell said. "[It is] willing to take risks with unknown quantities." A notable line up of international directors, all of whom have made an impact in their own countries, will be accompanying their films. They are included in a series of seven tnbutes to notables in the industry, among them Academy Award-winning director Robert Wise whose talents made "The

Sound of Music" a success. The festival will also pay tribute to special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen and actress Stockard Channing. As if the above isn't enough to keep one busy, there are also a number of documentaries available for viewing. Among the more notable are: "Near Death" - director Frederick Wiseman's five and a half-hour tour through the corridors of a hospital's intensive care unit. "Home Boys" - Denver film maker Donna Dewey's journey into the minds of Crips and Bloods gang members. And "Roger and Me: A Humorous Look at How General Motors Destroyed Flint, Michigan" - Director Michael Moore's essay about GM chairman Roger Smith who eliminated 40,000 jobs in Flint. A number of short films will be shown either before feature-length films or in a packaged series. One to look out for is "Outrageous Taxi Stories," part of a program called "Urban Sketches." The short highlights the neverdull job of New York taxi drivers. "All About Eve," is a last minute insert in tribute to Bette Davis who died Oct. 6. It will be shown Thurs., Oct 19. Tickets, which range in price from $5 to $12, are available in the festival ticket ofl:ic:e located on the bottom floor of the Tivoli or Ticketmaster. · A complete listing of films is also available through the Tivoli office ofat most Safeways.

Head coach Joan Tamblin said although MSC was playing well at first, the team lost its concentration after a few crucial calls were called against MSC. According to Tamblin, the calls played a pivotal role in the match. "We were playing well, then we had the calls against us that made us lose our concentration," Tamblin said, "After that, RegiS was hitting really well against us and we jmt lost it."
