....

Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan

A petition for Sen. Joel Kleg's impeachment was an unnecessary effort that President Kelly Martin admitted knowing would not work, said Sen. Gerri Madrid The petition's sponsor, Elizabeth Oteo, asked the Senate rules committee at its Oct. 18 meeting for verification that ~ the petition was worded correctly and would get Kleg impeached After reviewing the ASMSC Constitution the committee ruled that the petition wasn't necesw;r because proper procedure bad not been followed when the case against Klcg was first presented to the Senate, and that a two-thirds .r majority vote from the Senate will bring the case before the E judicial board The Senate first heard charges against Kleg at its Aug. 30 meeting when Lisa Calderon of the Black Student Alliance accused him of racism based on comments he made in a class last February and demanded bis impeachment A subcommittee of the Senate rules committee ruled that Kleg • ;vas protected under the free speech clause of the First Amendment and since he was not a Senator at the time it was out of Senate jurisdiction.

"People are not signing over bis remarks, they're signing over a position he took," Oteo said Sixteen hundred signatures from Metro students are r required on a petition for presentation to the Senate. Oteo said they had gotten about half the necesw;r signatures after having the petition wording approved by Chief Justice Mason Golden.

"It is a lot of work getting that many signatures," said Madrid, "It's Kelly's job as president to let students know how to do thin~ through Student Government Somewhere in the records it should say that Kelly's comment came after Mason's approval."

Sen. Scott ~mann said "We will introduce an action r.. item for vote at the next Senate meeting."

1 "They should not have to waste their time with a ~ petition." t Committee Chairman Michael Jones said if the action i item is voted down a petition for recall will be necesw;r to ~' remove Klcg from the Senate. t.;.. '\ Gassmann pointed out that no means for recall exists in , • the ASMSC Constitution, and that as a representative ofthe l ,. student body be should have been aware of that Klcg said that a coostitutional amendment providing for a i recall would be necessary and that it would probably be April before proceedings against him could begin. He t offered to talk with any of his critics about recall procedure.

Klcg has reportedly begun a petition of bis own for a recall of all of Student Government -f "Scott (Gmmann) was trying to talk him out of it," said Sen. Meichell Walsh, "It's just bis defense against what's happening to him."

Walsh said Klcg will probably make a formal announcement about the petition at the Wednesday, Oct. -25, Senate a .... meeting.

Controversial views lace forum Michael Shannon The Metropolitan

Racism and sexism are perpetuated by minorities and women who cannot critici7.e themselves, said MSC criminal justice Professor Richard Jackson at a panel discussion Friday concerning cultural conflict on Auraria campus.

Jackson spoke and moderated the panel, which addressed solutions to prejudices that exist on campus.

The panel was comprised of groups ranging from minorities and women to the disabled.

"You can't disclW sexism without some sexist statements being made. You can't discuss racism without racist statements being made," Jackson said "If I was going to teach a class on racism, the first people I'd try to

Pearson scholarship

Marv Anderson The Metropolitan

Tammy Mulligan and Jay Hauptman, seniors at Metro, have received the Gregory Pearson Memorial Scholarhip.

Both are majoring in journalism.

The scholarship was established by Barbara Pearson, in memory of her husband, who was chairman of Metro's journalism department. Pearson passed away in March. "&tablishing the scholarship just came naturally. Greg was always drawn to Metropolitan State College and the talent of the students," Mrs. Pemon said.

Hauptman graduated from George Washington High School in 1984, and will graduate from Metro this December.

Mulligan is a graduate of Machebeuf High School and will graduate from Metro this December.

The investigation ofStudent Sen. Joe Navarro's alleged harassment of a Metro student ended when no evidence was presented against

him.

Calderon expressed concerns of "covert racism" in institutions of higher learning such as Metro that begins with enrollment of minorities into "college transitional" courses, actually remedial courses ~t assume a lack of intelligence.

The panel discussion was highlighted by a tense moment when MSC Student Sen. Joel K.leg stood up and demanded to know why there were no white males on the pane~ to which Kan~ snapped, "because I've been listening to you all my life!" .Kaness later said that she was addressing a certain type of white male, and was not making any generalimtions. o

committee formed to investigate his accusations.

Holden accused Navarro two weeks ago, in front of the Senate of making racist comments against white people and of personally harassing him by writing a letter to The Metropolilan in September.

Last spring, a group of students filed a charge against Holden with the Equal Opportunity Office al- \ leging that he made racist comments while campaigning for Student

Government President Kelly Martin. The attorney general's ruled that the charge was not valid because of First Amendment rights, MSC Vice President Percy Morehouse said.

Navarro's editorial mentioned that a student received an award while under investigation for making racist comments, and Holden argued at the Senate meeting that the letter constituted harassment.

More than 20 black, Chicano and white students, who turned out in support of Navarro, packed the meeting room and waited for 30 qiinutes while Sen. Mike Green, chairman of the subcommittee, called for evidence three times.

"The recommendation of this subcommittee will be that a vote of 'no' be entered on grounds of impeachment against Sen. Navarro due to lack of evidence," Green said before ending the meeting. D

Tempers boil at harassment workshop Gayle Neyman The Metropolitan

At one of a series of workshops held for administrators at Metro to raise the level of awaren~ about sexual harassment, a few male administrators raised some hackles.

"You have to have those people in the dialogue," he said.

The presentation, held in Student Union Room 330 A and B, began with a tepidly received film by Bill Cosby on racial prajudice. What started as a fairly good-sii.ed crowd of faculty and students thinned considerably as Jackson and MSC women studies Director Mackey Faye Hill gave their talks on racism and sexism. Many of those remaining were Jackson's own students.

"I never speak anywhere without a built-in audience," he joked.

Among those speaking on the panel were Lisa Calderon, representing the Black Student Alliance; Evelyn Rain-Lily of the Native

At the workshop held last Wednesday, Oct. 18, the administrators were presented with scenarios descnbing incidents of sexual harimment and their legal ramifications.

The workshop was then opened for discus&on, with Vanderwort leading the discus&on.

I

At one point during the workshop Vanderwort asked at least two male members ofthe audience to leave, David Moore, director of the freshman year program, and Charles Dobbs, assistant to the president. Vanderwort said that she had never had this happen in any of her previous workshops. ''To (have to) ask adults to take their conversation outside, it was very rude and unusual," Vander-

wort said "It was not sexual harassment - just rude people."

Ron Veatch, director of the counseling center and the student health center, was asked if Percy Morehouse, director of the Equal Opportunity Office, was one of those asked to leave.

Vcatch replied, ''That would be my guess, but I was at the front of the room."

The men remained, and the workshop continued, but some women felt their behavior indicated a lack of concern for the issue.

"I do think it is an important

issue," Gwen Thornton, director of the extended campus program, said "I think it showed a lack of respect for the seriousness of the issue on this campus."

"It was like little kids in the back of the audience," said Kate Lutrey, directorofstudentpublications. ''These are men who are in high-level positions at this institution."

Others felt that the problem stemmed from the design of the workshop.

"Everyone couldn't speak at once," Morehouse said. "It was

not a problem. They (members of the audience) had questions about the process."

Morehouse said he couldn't comment about whether he thought the questions should have been directed at Vanderwort.

"I can't say that," he said. "I didn't feel they were being disrespectful."

David Moore said he fek the workshop had been designed to generate dialogue.

"I wasn't particularly upset," Moore said "Raising consciousness is a very important thing to do. I felt good about going. It's a subject about which I know very little."

Moore wasn't aware that Vanderwort had requested anyone to leave. He intends to use handouts from the workshop as a packet for his program supervisors.

"As far as I know there isn't rampant sexual harasmtent on this campus," he said Dobbs could not be reached for comment.

Morehouse said most of the administrative staff at Metro have attended the workshops.

Morehouse said that since he joined the staff in 1986, three employees have been reprimanded for sexual harassment.

Life's experiences can earn credit Richard Sclbelll Jr. Bettv Lewis The M'etropolitan

Richard Daetwiler, director of the MSC Institute for the Study of Drugs, Alcohol and Addictive Behaviors said he believes there is more than one way to learn through the classroom and through life's experiences.

And life's experiences are precisely what the recently publicized adult learning services programs offer credit for. Despite its notalways-agreed-with nature, many faculty members are ardent supporters. "l have found the adult learning services programs to be credible and I feel it is legitimate to grant credit for portfolio work," Daetwiler said.

The three programs, CLEP (The College Level Examination Program), Credit through Examination and Credit for Prior Learning

are programs that allow students to obtain credit for, or test out of, classes required for their graduation.

CLEP is a national, standardized exam that cuts across a wide spectrum of freshmen level courses. Students who prove their proficiency in the CLEP examinations are able to bypass up to 60 credit hours of general studies courses and go directly toward their majors.

Credit through Examination works much the same as CLEP, except the exams are prepared by the Metro faculty member who teaches the specific course for which the student is seeking credit.

Credit for Prior Learning, the most nontraditional of the three, assists students in applying for credit for specific Metro courses via portfolio assessment.

In addition to preparing a portfolio, the program requires students to write an essay about what they have learned from the experience. Students must prove they have gained the learning objectives for a particular course through verification from other

sources such as job descriptions, training records, performance evaluations, work samples or letters from managers. It is this program that has proven the most controversial.

Maureen Lancaster, associate director of adult learning services, said that all three programs are widely accepted across the country, although CLEP and Credit through Examination are perhaps more so because students are tested on what they know.

However, Lancaster believes that the Credit for Prior Learning program is viable.

Heat has been felt by the Credit for Prior Learning program from departments like biology, where some professors believe that lessons taught in class are exclusive to the classroom and cannot be taught in the professional work force. According to George Becker, chairman of the biology department, the biology department has never granted credit for prior learning.

However, like Daetwiler, not everybody agrees with Becker's philosophy.

According to Dr. Carl Johnson, chairman

-

of the speech department, all three programs

are useful in his department.

"The programs facilitate the lawyer, the minister, the teacher returning to school," Johnson said. "It is obvious that these types of people have done a fair amount of .a speaking."

Lancaster said she recognizes that Credit for Prior Learning may not be appropriate for some departments. Lancaster added however that the departments questioning its validity could make use of CLEP and ~ Credit through Examination. In other cases, she said credit through nontraditional programs simply does not coincide with the educational philosophies of some departments.

"It has come to a point, nationwide, that nontraditional credit really isn't that nontraditional anymore," Lancaster said. "These programs allow students the freedom to do new learning without wasting time and money learning what they already know." o

Alumni Relations stepping up assistance Harry Gianneschi, vice-president of institutional advancement, said the office of alumni relations knows how valuable alumni are to a school. Since 1985, more than $850,000 has been spent to locate alumni and put together the alumni office.

Catherine Sell The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College Alumni Relations Department has come of age in the last three years, and it wants to give something back to its graduates and the school after years of neglect.

The only thing the first graduating class of 1969 received after graduating was a diploma.

Other colleges iwisted its alumni with networking, phone calls and newsletters. Metro's received nothing.

But things change. It's 1989. and Metro's alumni, including the Class of '69, are benefiting from the efforts of the office of Alumni Relations.

According to the director of the office of alumni relations, Donna Woodard, some of those benefits are: six $500 scholarships for students, contacts for graduates, and newsletters outlining activities on campus, news oftheir classmates and sponsorship of cultural activities.

One ofthoseactivites was Plain & Fancy Ball. whi~h the office co-sponsorecl with the MSC Foundation. The money raised from that charity will go straight to the scholarship's fund, Woodard said.

Gianneschi said the dej>artment had l~ than 3,000 names in 1985. Now that number has escalated to more than 20,000 names.

And having that many names is helping make Metro a more respectable schooL according to Gianneschi.

"Alumni are of the utmost value to a school. They are the ones that determine the s~ of an institution. Harvard is Harvard because of its alumni," he said.

Woodard said because the office ofalumni relations never had a home before, it never had the opportunity to cultivate its alumni department.

"We have an anchor now, which is institutional advancement. We also have a president who plans on staying around awhile," Woodard said.

The office of alumni relations is part of the department of advancement.

According to Woodard, right now is the

time to build bridges between the students, staff and faculty.

"Those bridges will benefit us. We need to create high levels of accountablity. The school maintains the belief it's worth the struggle, and this office mirrors that," Woodard said.

Woodard said the office of alumni relation's major goals are to first serve the alumni.

"We want to give something back to our graduates because the graduates have been giving back to us," Woodard said.

That something has come in the form of money, volunteering and support for the college.

Woodard said the majority of alumni feel a great sense of loyality towards the school.

She said it's mainly because the alumni worked so hard to get their degrees, as opposed to other schools where the students don't have to work or raise a family. More than 85 percent are in the Denver area, according to Woodard.

Another goal for the office of alumni relations is to serve the school. Woodard said serving the community is one way.

"The energy of the alumni parallels the

college as a driving force with this community," she said.

Gianneschi said the office wants to find every possible way to help current students.

He said one way could be by conducting a survey of teachers, or even writing a check for the students if they need it.

According to Woodard, one way to serve '~ the current students is for the department to get involved with existing programs on campus.

"My office is linked into a very active involvement with a campus student alumni ~tion," she said.

Woodard said the office is becoming an entity on campus.

"It's been an amazing process to get where we are today. There is a tremendous amount of money coming in that we didn't have before. This year is very exciting, labor intensive, working day-by~y with the college foundation. I'm most excited about the .student alumni ~tion."

The bottom line is simple. Having the office of alumni relations is helping put Metro on the map.

"They're living examples of how we can ·· turn out. We have alumni in all walks of life," W~d said. o

Campus AIDS Increasing Bellnda Dixon The Metropolitan

~

There is a small population on the Auraria campus that has AIDS, according to the staff at Auraria's Student Health Clinic.

"Certainly there is a positive population," said Ron Veatch, director of the student health center and counseling center. "Any under treatment would be very small."

AIDS was first recogni7.ed in the United States in 1981. In 1986 there were more than 24,000 in the United States who were infected. The U.S. Surgeon General's report estimates that by 1991, the number of people infected will be an estimated 145,000, and 54,000 people will die from having the AIDS virus.

The information being dispersed to the public about the risks of infection is not reaching teenagers and young adults.

The Colorado Health Department has. seen a rise in sexually transmitted diseases.

This could be due to the reluctance of the sexually active to accept that there are risks with unprotected sex.

•

f

"When we are young, people feel invulnerable," Veatch said. "It's a denial of unpleasant possibilities."

A study of the American College Health Association revealed that the incidence of AIDS transmission is up on campuses around the country.

Billy Mauromaties, a staff assistant, and Mary Duell, nurse practitioner and in-house AIDS educator at the student clinic, attended a two-day workshop in Boulder presented by the American College Association. The program was designed for the faculty of colleges to better equip themselves to deal with present and future cases of AIDS. Clinic physician Greg Gutierrez supports an open forum on campus about AIDS, to educate students through brochures and lectures.

"Safe sex has taken hold in the· gay population, there's a decrease in incidence," Gutierrez said. "Personally, I feel talking to students would make them aware that there is a danger with promiscuous behavior."

Gutierrez added that he believes being informed is ultimately left up to the student.

"There is a general denial," Gutierrez said.

"Being uneducated breeds prejudice."

The Student Health Clinic is equipped to test for AIDS, although most students seeking a test are referred to a sta~funded site where testing is free, results are within seven days and a person can be guaranteed anonymity by using a false name.

"Ha person is worried, it's better to know than not to know," Veatch said.

Veatch said the best cure for one's doubts is prevention and abstinence from behavior that could lead to infection: Unprotected sex and sharing intravenous drugs with an infected rson should be avoided. o

'l Earth sciences has small piece of LAS rock

October 27, 1989

METROPOLITAN

6

Richard Sclbelll Jr. News Editor

The earth science department is trapped between a rock and a hard place.

The rock is the department's self-paced program and the short falls in allotted lab funding.

The hard place is the budget cuts facing the "people upstairs," which in this case is Dean Larry Johnson of the department of letters, arts and sciences [LAS].

The budget from which funds are distnbuted is known as Code 9 [not to be confused with Title 9, which is a whole other can of worms]. According to Armando Gingras, interim ~te dean of LAS, the Code 9 budget is $9,000 smaller than it was last year. The budget, as it stands now for the entire fiscal year, is $42,000.

According to Gingras, Code 9 money is distributed by Brewer's office to the various departments. Shortfalls this year resulted when the $9,000 was shaved from the LAS budget and handed over to advising and tutoring. As a result, various departments within LAS had to absorb the loss, with earth sciences taking the biggest hit, much to the chagrin of Roberta Smilnak, chair of the earth science department.

Snulnak bas 200 students in her selfpaced program and only enough money to accommodate them for limited lab time each week. Prior to this semester she could offer up to 45 hours a week, including Saturdays.

The self-paced program was designed and implemented to assist students in 100level courses.

The discrepancy does not lie within the amount of time the department can use the lab but with the amount of Code 9 money they have to pay an assistant to supervise the lab. Presently they have enough money to pay the assistant, Mike Pace, for 10 hours a week.

According to some students, without an assistant knowledgable in the field of geology, the lab work is unproductive.

"The problem is having someone in here that knows something about geology," said Michael Harlan, an MSC student.

But knowing something about geology during these slim times does not seem to be a prerequisite. The assistant with the largest block of time happens to have no formal training in the field, but he is being used because the money he is paid does not come from Code 9 but from work study. And presently, according to Pace, there are no

c:arw SCience siuaents wno are mvolved in work study.

Work study, however, is only one of the three solutions that Gingras sees to the problem. Gingras also stated that LAS intends to get at least half of the $9,000 given to advising and tutoring back.

"We hope to get that money back," Gingras said adding that he felt advising and tutoring should be able to get their own funding.

Gingras also hopes that LAS will obtain a

supplemental loan. Gingras added that he did not know when or if that loan will be -

awarded.

Smilnak does not deny that work study is an option if it were available. She said not only were there no work study recipients knowledgable in her field, but there are few work study students available at all. ~ "Most students do not get work study, they are getting loans and Pell's," Smilank said, adding that Code 9 money is ~ntial "Our lab situation is a crisis." o

Secret Senate vote goes to waste Mary Anderson The f.1etropolitan

By an illegal vote in a secret session, two student senators faced impeachment in the Senate because of absenteeism.

The bylaws of the Student Senate require the issue to be placed upon the Senate agenda automatically ifa senator misses two or more Senate meetings.

The Senate voted last Wed. Oct. 25, whether to impeach Sens. Katie Elder and Jeanette Martinez for missing at least two

•L

consecutive Senate meetings. In both cases impeachment attempts failed.

But the Colorado Sunshine Law forbids voting or decision-making in secret sessions.

Sen. Kevin Miller made the motion to go into secret session at the, last Wednesday, Oct. 18, rules committee meeting, claiming the need to discuss personnel issues.

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that decisions made in secret sessions cannot later be ratified in public.

Tina Romero, the secretary of the Senate, said the vote in secret session was 3-0 to put Elder and Martinez on the agenda, and 2-0

when they re-voted. Sen. Michael Green had left for a class.

The chairman of rules committee, Sen. Mike Jones, said that although he is not a voting member of the committee, he can be counted towards quorum in a vote.

The members of the rules committee said they did not know they were not allowed to vote in secret session.

"It was our own inexperience," Miller said. "I don't know if it was even that important (to go into secret session). It was more of a reflexive action than it was necessary." Miller said he made the motion

because he felt they would be ~ing. people's personal bves.

"I thought there were some issues dealing .. with those two that did not need to be discussed in front of other people. Everybody is airing their dirty laundry too much," Sen. Gerri Madrid said following the meeting. "I know nothing about the law and those that did should have said something. I l didn't know (the vote was illegal) until it was brought to our attention.

Jones said they only decided to put Elder and Martinez on the agenda in the secret session. o

CCD program assists welfare mothers In addition to providing scholarships, Career Incentives offers a variety of other support services to break the barriers of going to college.

"It's hard for any person who is on public assistance to go to school and live within their confines," said Juanita Gutierrez, director of CCD's Woman's Resource Center.

Betty Lewis The Metropolitan

The Woman's Resource Center at Community College of Denver is one of three local woman's programs selected for a unique pilot project to help single-parent welfare recipients return to college and break the cycle of poverty.

The program, Career Incentives, is funded through a $23,000 grant from the Governor's Job Training Office. Red Rocks and Front Range Community colleges were the other colleges awarded funds last January. H the program is succesmu, additional funding will be made available for hundreds of other welfare recipients. .·.<:.

"Colleges represent one bureaucracy and Social Services is another, and each have completely separate rules, Career Incentives is the advocacy group that bridges the gap between them."

Gutierrez said Career Incentives is one of the first programs adopted by Social Services under the New Welfare Reform Act.

"An attitude exists that Social Services is ineffective and doesn't ~ the real needs of the people," she said. ''In many cases that is true. Welfare reform is trying to change those attitudes."

In addition, she said Social Services is finally admitting that the welfare system, which fosters fifth and sixth generation welfare families, is not working and trying to determine the reasons why.

Career Incentives works specifically with the Aid to Dependent Children division of Social Services, on behalf of the 16 CCD students in the pilot project.

In order to qualify for the program, the student must be a single parent on AFDC in

Denver County. Students must a1so abide by the rules and regulations set forth through the program, which includes meeting with the Woman's Resource Center on a biweekly basis to assess their progress.

"In our meetings, we teach long- and short-term goal setting, as well as exercises in self-esteem, motivation and just how to , get through the social services part of going to school," Gutierrez said.

In return for the student's cooperation, Gutierrez said she and her counselors go to Social Services and fight some of the battles before they happen. ''Students still have to jump over certain • hurdles, and follow the AFDC regulations, we just let them know what the regulations are and we help cut down on visits to Social Services which are really not n~ry," she said. "We talk to the people at Social Services and let them know when they're causing our students difficulty. And we try to solve the problems before they get worse."

In addition, Career Incentives is a referral service for day-care services, medical coverage, low-cost housing, transportation: and other barriers nontraditional students must ~ crcm to finish college.

'It's hard for any parson who 11 on public 111l1tance to go to school 1nd live within their conflnu ...'

One of the Career Incentive students, Kathleen Espin@l, is a mother of four who broke free from an abusive marriage. Now she carries a full load of courses at CCD, has a 4.0 average and volunteers any spare time :< she has at a battered woman's shelter.

Former state senator offers perspectives

We need strong but sensitive leadership to carry this country into the future, said former Colorado State Sen. Polly Baca, but to achieve positions of leadership, students need to learn to take risks.

"If you take the path along that road of leadership, it's not going to be easy," Baca said, addressing a group of between 40 and 50 students and teachers in the Student Union.

Baca's speech, sponsored by the Hispanic Leadership Association and the MSC political science department, was aimed at minority students, but her mesMge was universal.

"You can't succeed unless sometimes you fail," Baca said.

Failure can be the springboard to success, she said, but you'll never know unless you roll the dice.

"Three years ago," she said, "I took a risk and ran for (the U.S.) Congress." Baca, whose political career has been a string of success stories, came up short.

"I can't recall ever having as much pain as when I lost that election," she said. "But it was OK. From that you learn."

Baca's goal of becoming the first minority woman in the U.S. Congress has since been realized by Deana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., " ... who's Republican, but I still like her," the Democratic Baca said, drawing laughter from the crowd. Leaders like Ros-Lehtinen are what are needed in a rapidly changing society, she said.

There are a number of people on this campus from various walks of life," Baca said, depicting the campus as a microcosm of society and pointing to the cultural diversity.

"Homogenous societies from all over the world are breaking down," she said. "No single ethnic group will dominate in the next century."

By the year 2000, she said, one-third of the United States population will be in minority groups.

"That sometimes causes some people fear," she said, "but it ought not to. Now is the time when we can build sensitive leadership."

The qualities of that sensitive leadership, she said, are high ethical standards and an ear for the needs of their constituencies.

"A compassionate leader acts on everyone's sense of justice, compassion and fairness in life," she said.

But life is not always fair, she acknowledged. Her early experiences with racism left her with an inferiority complex that she was only able to overcome through determination.

"It (racism) was the driving force in my life," Baca said. "It hurt a lot, but it also helped."

A member of the Colorado House of Representatives from 1974 to 1978 and the Senate from 1978 to 1986, Baca's focus is by no means limited to Colorado politics.

She was part of a Center for World Development study group that toured Central America and, in 1988, she toured Bulgaria and the Soviet Union.

"What affects people in one part of the world affects us all," she said.

That global awareness has given Baca, a native Coloradan, a unique perspective on dealing with local problems. She recently accepted a position as the executive director of the Colorado Institute for Hispanic Education and Economic Development.

She summed up her political philosophy by quoting Robert Frost. " 'Some people see things as they are and say why?' I see things as they should be and say why not?'"

Her parting advice to students interested in leadership roles was to dream big and then pursue the dream.

"You have to have some sort of passion," she said. "You have to want to achieve something." o

Thesis of privilege study 'passes the buck' Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan Is our society one in which white males enjoy a privileged status?

In her recent work, "White Privilege, Male Privilege," former University of Denver Professor Peggy Mcintosh describes the problem of race and gender privilege from a white woman's point of view.

The paper is a preliminary result of research she conducted under a research grant from Wellesley College in MasMchusetts. The theories she sets forth in it are quickly becoming the focus of discussions acr~ the country.

Last Tuesday in the Student Union a panel ofMetro faculty members participated

in a round-table discussion of"White Privilege, Male Privilege," sponsored by the MSC Women's Network.

White privilege is, in Mcintosh's definition, "an invisible package of unearned

wets about which I was 'meant' to remain oblivious." She stated that she had always been taught that racism was something that put others down, but had never learned to see the advantages that white people gain from the disadvantages of minorities.

In her paper, Mcintosh str~ that male superiority is enforced and embedded in our most powerful institutions - education and the church.

Panel member Akbarali Thobhani, the director of the MSC Institute for Intercultural Studies, said that he does not think any such systematic proces.s is at work. He believes that it is more informal - that it is through media communication that male privilege is pimed on.

PEACE CORPS SERVICE: A Good Career Move

Mcintosh suggests that men work from a base of unacknowledged advantage, that male oppressiveness of females is unconscious. Thobhani said the same form of oppressiveness exists between whites and non-whites.

His response to the paper itself is that it was, ''very interesting in bringing out certain ~ues concerning racism," but that Mcintosh ''passes the buck" in terms of ways to deal with the ~ue.

"It does not address the havoc that racism has created in the contemporary world; the violence that has been committed in the name ofracism; or the psychological damage • on the minds of the victims of the third world," he said Author and MSC sociology Professor Irene Blea shared Thobhani's views about what the paper was lacking.

In the paper, Mcintosh lists 46 conditions she feels are unearned privileges due to her white skin color. Blea responded to Mcintosh's list with one of her own, a series of statements directed at how white people make her people, Chicanos, feel.

These are a few that she mentioned: "You think you are more attractive than we are ... and sometimes we think you are

too."

"You see your women as dumb - but attractive - You make us shut up when you speak. You think that your story is the only one."

"How do we heal this nationT' she asked.

Ron Vcatch, director of the counseling center, said that he has difficulty accepting the concept ofprivilege. He said also that the paper was hard to interpret because it is intensely personal.

"Why is it limited only to gender and n.ce7" he asked the audience. "Are there not other dimensions that are as important. H we push this far enough, logically we could all end up with some kind of privilege."

He said that rather than make sweeping generaliz.ations, he prefers the adage, "don't do unto even white males what you wouldn't like done to you, even in terms of not listening or discriminating against."

Hill explained that the root of the problem exists in the fact that men will not move past the denial stage. "ffa woman fails, it's 'just like a woman,' Hill said. H she succeeds, then she's an • exception, there are no more like her, therefore more denial."

"You can't just do it (prevent racism and sexism) by not exhibiting racist tendencies, you also have to say something to the rest of society."

Faculty members share China experiences at forum Betty Lewis The Metropolitan

..

r-

Three members of the MSC faculty, who have recently returned from China, and visiting Professor Shu-Sen Xie, from Shanghai University of Finance and &:onomics, elaborated on the benefits of the visiting scholar programs for students and faculty at the ninth Provost's round table conference.

The panel provided insights and observations about foreign exchanges, claiming they help society more fully appreciate other histories and cultures.

According to MSC Provost Tobin G. Barrozo the programs are beneficial to professors who visit other countries and to their students as well.

"When a professor returns from an exchange, they bring a new perspective and understanding to the classroom," Barrozo said. "Because they're better attuned to what's going on in other cultures and societies, they begin to introduce multicultural elements into their courses."

In bis opening remarks, MSC President Thomas B. Brewer said Americans know too little about the world, its history, culture, literature and geography. And, he said, this is a luxury that cannot exist in the next century.

Brewer said MSC is responding to the need for increased offerin~ in international education by sending students and faculty overseas and bringing back students from abroad.

The college now has programs in England, France, Germany and Mexico, and has recently started a partnership with the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

In addition, Brewer said MSC's efforts in bringing the Rocky Mountain World Trade Center to Denver will offer many international opportunities to Metro's students and faculty.

As a visiting professor for the fall and spring semesters, Xie said he has already learned a great deal from the faculty and students of MSC. Xie said other Chinese professors and students would like the opportunity to do research in the United States, but unfortunately a number of the exchange programs in China have been stopped. He thanked MSC for its wholehearted support of the programs, claiming they go a long way in promoting good relations between the United States and China.

"Unless you understand each other you cannot promote your relationship," Xie said.

Professor Lois Dilatush, of the sociology department at MSC, taught sociology to graduate students at the People's University in Beijing last fall. She felt her visit was of value to the Chinese students because she was able to share what is going on in sociology in the United States. She was able to give them some realistic impressions about the United States that were different from the television programs they import from our country. '"The impression that so many of the students have of the U.S. came from serialized television programs like 'Dynasty,' " Dilatush said. · In terms of value to MSC, Dilatush said her students have enjoyed hearing about the people of China and what is happening there.

Robert Lucas, who went to Shanghai University as a visiting scholar, encouraged bis colleagues to persevere with regard to pursuing a faculty-exchange program. Many people, he said, get bogged down with the initial dilemma of what to do with all of the responsibilities of home while visiting another country. He said, however, that these . problems are minor compared to the fascinating experiences faculty members will witness while overseas.

''

''Teaching can become tedious after a while, and an exchange program is good for the soul," Lucas said.

As a result of bis trip to Shanghai, Richard Pasternak, professor of economics,

said MSC should be doing more to encourage students to learn other languages.

While in Shanghai, the Chinese students spoke English and took all of their exams in English. Pasternak believes that MSC students need to be able to communicate and understand the art of communication throughout the world.

"I felt delinquent that I did not have better command of not only the Chinese language, but a second language as well," Pasternak said. "I never thought professionally that it was important, but I do now."

Overall, panel members agreed that the conege community has a responsibility to urge a greater sensitivity and responsiveness to the importance ofleaming other languages and becoming more aware of the other cultures. o

ot anot er trip to Fit To Be Tied

By John C. Roper What's in a name?

A couple of weeks ago, Metropolitan State College · President Thomas B. Brewer asked the Student Senate to vote on whether the college should change its name or not. The idea is to somehow add the word "Denver" to its title.

So the Senate took time away from its busy schedule of accusing each other of being racist and proceeded to engage in a heated debate over the issue. I'm sure it sounded something like this: President Kelly Martin: Hear ye, Hear ye! The meeting shall now come to order! Today we're going to vote on whether or not Metro should change its name. Are there any opening arguments?" " ... Hey, Kelly! Skippy didn't bring the doughnuts and it's his turn! " "It is not, Wally, it's your turn!" No it isn't! I brought them last time!" "You're a WEENIE, Wally!" " Kelly! Kelly!!! Skippy called me. a WEENI El!!! Did ya hear him? Did ya?!! He's a racist I tell you!! Where's The Metropolitan?!! Get me a reporter!! I'll show you , Skioov." . . ..

President Martin: "The ayes have 1t!!!

Through this system of democracy, which is not so unlike the one that runs our nation ("President Bush!

Sen. Armstrong didn't bring the doughnuts!" "It was Sen. Kennedy turn!" "Was not" "Was too!!!" "You're a WEENIE, Sen . Armstrong!!! "Mr. President, Mr. President!!! Sen. Kennedy called mea WEENIE!!! ..."), it , has been declared by a 12-3 margin that MSC should change its name.

The options discussed were something like: Metropolitan State College of Denver; Denver Metropolitan State College; Metropolitan Denver State College; John Denver College; and The College of Metropolitan State in The City of Denver and The State of Colorado in The United States of America on The Planet Earth in The Milky Way Galaxy that God or Physics Created a Long Long Time Ago Out of A Bunch of Fun Gases Like Methane and Stuff Like That.

The notion is, if we add "Denver," we will increase the credibility of the school.

Get real.

How can the name "Denver" add credibility to an already fine school? Metro's reputation is far better than Brewer realizes. I've spoken with many business people around the city who say they would much rather hire a recent MSC grad than a recent grad from any other school in the state. I mean, MSC doesn't stand for Moronic, Stupidity and Chaos.

This is another example of how out-of-touch our school president is with the college (remember, this is the same guy that said if you work full-time you should be flunking your classes) . It also illustrates how far away the Student Government is from the students who put them there to be representatives.

Let's stop worrying about names and start working on improving our education. That alone will bring with it a good, well-deserved reputation.

Maybe they could institute some graduate programs on campus. Should we dare have a doctorate program at MSC? Why not?!

These are a few constructive ways of gaining respect in the academic community. If you have to label something in a special way to make it more credible it usually means you're trying to hide something from people so they won't find out the truth .

I've got it. Let's call the position of presidency at MSC the Executive Administrator Who's Hip to His Environment, and the Student Senate, the Elected Student Representatives Who Aren 't Just in it for Their Resumes. This way, no one will ever know. o

Editor, I have been put through frustration for the last time without expressing my dissatisfaction.

Why do professors continue to have material printed at Kinko's? The way they treat college students from Metro is the poorest business practice that I have witnessed.

Is business done this way because they have captive customers: It seems that no one can do anything about it except the professors.

News Editor F11tures Editor Aulltlnt NIWI Editor Copy Editor Sports Editor

-Lee Shores MSC Student •

Brewer was right

Editor, I have reviewed the editorials written about MSC President Tom Brewer. This endeavor I have experienced with great disgust.

Let's regress for a moment. In the Sept. 22nd issue of The Metropolitan, Brewer stated:" ... that the average student working a full 40-hour week and taking a full 15-credit hour course load should not be able to pass all classes." I completely agree with that statement.

Now before we go into hysterics, read on. Note that Brewer said "average student" not super-human, never sleep, high IQ student, but average student. For all the full-time, full-load students who slammed Brewer, what's the matter with you? He just complimented you!

Furthermore, Brewer made a comment, not a policy, so calm down! · Consider this: how many hours per week are you working taking 15 credits and working full time? The answer is 80-90 hours per week, depending on the classes you take. The average student cannot work 80-90 hours per week. If this were true, then the average person would be a millionaire. Brewer merely stated a fact. I challenge previous writers to prove Brewer wrong. And please, no more whining about your personal problems. If you can't get your degree at MSC you probably won't get it anywhere else. MSC is full of instructors that will cut you a break on occasion.

You won't get that elsewhere.

Interestingly enough, in the aftermath of the Brewer incident, it has become apparent that MSC has a large population of psychics. They actually claim to read

Edltar

material that is supposed to be ready, (2) the excuses of why the material is not ready, (3) standing in line for thirty minutes, (4) people being waiting on before me, (5) employees ignoring me, (6) and not having a choice of where I do business.

Perhaps the answer is for the faculty to pick up the material for themselves. Then the material would be where it is supposed to be: in the classroom.

Brewer's mind. How else would they get all the zany conclusions of one harmless remark? I never heard Brewer say he was against nontraditional students, but the psychic zealots who have attacked Brewer are sure of it. Tell me something people, have you even met Brewer? Did he tell you to leave campus by sundown or else? I don't think so.

In response to other writers with 3.5 GPA's who work full-time and carry a 19-credit load, I am surprised by their inconsistency. First, they are not average students, they are exceptional and very intelligent. However, they are in the same group of people who suggested MSC should lower its standards and offer easier classes to working folks.

I can see it now. Let's also change the name of the colle9e to UEZ or University of Easy Classes. And don't stop there. We must also skate all the nontraditional students by and graduate them . Then, when they apply for a job, no one will hire them because they only got to chapter four in a 15-chapter book on economics. For those people who attacked Brewer, this is exactly what they want. I can assure all of them that they won't get it.

Moreover, I must say the anti-Brewer zealots are amusing at best. Their editorials are completely devoid of any intellectual thought. I firmly believe these people owe Brewer an apology. Remember people, this is a college, not a kiddie camp where you get a letter of appreciation on the last day. People are here to work, learn and share. Dr. Brewer's job is to ensure we at least have a standard.

GUEST EDITORIAL

It's time for separation of school and sport The problems with big-time college athletics, particularly the money sports of basketball and football, have been smeared all over front pages and the evening news for decades. The immense pressure put on athletic directors, coaches, players and even the presidents of universities has contributed to behavior ranging from the somewhat unsavory to blatant violations of the law. Monetary temptation and the overriding need to win in order to share in the spoils has placed the emphasis at some institutions on entertainment, not academics, and the result has been a cesspool of scandals that have undermined the integrity of America's system of higher education as a whole.

At the major football factories and the perennial NCAA basketball tournament schools, the problems start with recruiting . Highly touted high school players and their parents have come to expect first-class treatment, and in most cases the schools are more than willing to oblige.

Once players agree to attend a college, they are then treated as on-campus celebrities, exempt from the normal demands of college life and the beneficiaries of booster "support," special dormitories and lower academic standards. This shell of privilege keeps them in school and on the field, but when their four or five years is up and graduation time rolls around, many fail to graduate, and those who do find themselves unprepared skill-wise, for the real world.

A real world where they will have to sink or swim because over 90 percent of them will not play professional sports. The need for instant ·gratification on the part of universities has alienated athletic departments from the rest of the staff, embittered former athletes and left the public with a bad taste in its mouth.

State-funded institutions have no business participating in an entertainment system that benefits only a small percentage of schools, and goes a long way toward lining the pockets of television network executives and the owners and executives of the NFL and NBA. The role of universities is a purely academic one and this shift in emphasis signals not only a disgraceful abuse of purpose, but a frightening lack of focus academically in this country. We must identify our priorities and then stick to them. What this means is a separation of school and sport. But not all sports; just professional sports. Competition is good as long as it stays on a purely academic level, but once big-time dollar figures come into play, all sense of perspective is lost.

What I'm suggesting is that the NBA and the NFL establish farm systems where a promising athlete right out of high school can go in order to be schooled •exclusively in professional sports. The universities of this country can still maintain athletic departments on a small scale that participate in intercollegiate competition, but the pressure wiil not be there because the paydays will not be there. The truly gifted athletes will go to the minors, or they will earn a degree and then go to the minors.

The professional leagues would fight such a move tooth and nail, but the benefits would be threefold.

First, the competition would come back down to a more realistic level - the level at which it was originally intended to stay. If one observes European institutions of higher learning, one can see that the model works.

Secondly, the emphasis would return to education. For the most part, professional-calibre athletes see school as an obstacle. They would be allowed to clear that

obstacle by proceeding directly to the minor leagues and, though it would be a gamble for the athlete, the professional leagues would be the ones responsible if those athletes failed to make teams and were then unprepared for the real world. Finally, there would be no more incentive to cheatforcolleges and universities.

Already I can hear the screams. "I love college sports. It's so much more real than the pros," fans will scream.

"Tough," is what we should all scream back. Those who think that paying $200 for a ticket to the NCAA final four is any different than trying to get into the NBA championship game should watch the MSC Roadrunners play Anchorage in the Auraria gym, where true student athletes with no pro aspirations give ittheir all.

As for the professional sports leagues, let them do their own dirty work. So few players can make a living that way that it is unreasonable for colleges to have to raise the expectations of so many athletes only to have them discover that the pie simply is not.big enough to go around.

Conflict of interest is a terribly disruptive thing, and just as this country solved such a dilemma by legislating separation of church and state, a similar solution lies in the separation of sport and school. There needs to be a clarity of purpose that I think this proposal can offer.

Ultimately the school [and the country] will benefit through an academically improved product and the professional sports leagues will benefit through and · enhanced public image and an athletically pure product.

ground to support his claim that certain administrators had led him to believe he would be retained.

"It (the administration) is bending the rules against me, and I don't know why," DiPaolo said at the time.

Prof defends part-timers

His ouster sparked a wave of letters to The Metropolitan from students and faculty who spoke strongly on his behalf. He was retained in a part-time position to teach freshman writing courses.

Two years later, he sits in the comfort of his personal library. One wall is lined with literature: Shakespeare, Voltaire, Forster.

Another wall contains the recorded works of opera composers: Wagner, Verdi, Bellini.

Kurt Ochsner The Metropolitan

Yes, Larry DiPaolo is still teaching English courses at MSC; yes, he is still an opera fanatic; and no, he hasn't acquired any love for the school's administration.

-

From 1981 to 1985, DiPaolo gained great popularity as a full-time English instructor. In 1985, the Alumni Association nominated him for Teacher of the Year. He was also instrumental in bringing author Carlos Fuentes to campus, an event he believes was one of the biggest in Metro's history.

But in 1986, his contract was not renewed. ''To this day, no reasons have ever been given," he says.

DiPaolo eventually filed a grievance. But in September 1987, The Metropolitan reported that a hearing officer ruled in MSC's favor because "(DiPaolo) has admittedly never applied for consideration as a faculty member." Also, there was no legal

"What you have here is a treasure chest of everything great that has been written and everything great that has been composed," he says, eyes beaming with pride as he surveys the neat rows of books and records.

One wall contains the works of Gore Vidal. DiPaolo, long an admirer of Vidal, has written a book analyzing the controversial writer's work. He hopes the book will open new doors for him, as he sees little future in teaching.

"My name is almost like that of Dracula in the English department," he says.

But the 1971 MSC graduate does love to teach. He calls his teaching style organic.

"Each cl~ has its own personality. You have certain things on the agenda to teach, but you never limit certain things to a certain day," he said. "We need not be hamsters on a wheel."

He believes it was his lack of a forceful, dogmatic approach that put him at odds with English and arts and sciences ad- · ministrators.

If all_you want from church is hell, fire and brimstone, burn this ad.

October 27, 1989

"The best teacher," DiPaolo says, "is not a mirror reflecting the idiocies the student already knows. The best teacher is a window who will show the student new landscapes."

He gets up and puts on a record. The room vibrates with the Coronation Theme from Modest Mtm0rgsky's "Boris Godunov," and he mtens intently. Kings pomposity and grand opera interest this man immeasurably.

He cranks up a videotape of opera star Grace Bumbry. Enraptured, he stares up at her image. ''She has great presence," he says with undeniable admiration.

A knowledgeable opera fan, DiPaolo holds many singers in great esteem. He once said he would open his memoirs with the line, "I never met a prima donna I didn't like." He says he has met opera stars Bumbry, Marilyn Home, Jesse Norman, Joan Sutherland, Maria Callas and others.

For a time, DiPaolo worked on an opera telecourse for public television, having enlisted to the services ofBumbry as narrator.

But when his contract was not renewed, he had to quit because of lack of support from the school, he said.

In retrospect, DiPaolo sees some deep problems as having hurried his ousting. He says he is only the most publiciud of many superior teachers who are kept as part-timers.

"Because our track record is so good, because excellence is ~ted with our names, this is a veritable trap to mediocrity," he says.

In his case, he believes his outspokenness got him in trouble.

Bathos -----------

"I'm not a team player ... they like teams."

He concludes, "If you're going to major in English, don't do it at MSC, because in

that department, mediocrity sounds like an accolade."

The great wealth of material he has read . has helped him form opinions about everything from art to politics. Like Vidal, he has a list of modem ills that includes born-again Christians, suburbia, pop culture and, of course, education.

College, says DiPaolo, "is dedicated to producing drones who will produce consumer goods."

-

..

He says the students "are simply numbers that the legislature is given to fund us. And what are the students getting for higher tuition? Nothing. But the administrators are getting raises."

Dipaolo was a good friend of the late Greg Pearson, who was chairman of the journalism department until his recent death.

Pearson testified for DiPaolo at the grievance hearing two years ago.

At Metro, says DiPaolo, "Integrity is ~ing. I use as my model for integrity Greg Pearson. It was that kind of integrity that was needed. We could have offset some of the rot that has set in."

But DiPaolo has much to be happy about.

His bittern~ with the society he lives in is in some ways offset by the volumes ofliterature and the cascades of musical notes that fill his life.

As he once told a favorite student, "I am a voracious reader of past literature, a great admirer of past composers; I am only comfortable in the presence of the dead great."

Ball just plain fancy The Metropolitan

•

'·

Billed as "a celebration to benefit the students of Metropolitan State College," this year's Plain & Fancy Ball did just that.

Proceeds are still being counted, but so far more than $80,000 has been raised for scholarships, double the amount brought in by last year's Ball.

The Plain & Fancy Ball, held at the Radisson Hotel Denver on Saturday night, was a sellout, with 1,133 tickets sold. The Ball included dinner, dancing and a silent auction. The proceeds will go to the MSC Foundation, which will then distnbute the money as scholarship awards.

Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, this year's Plain & Fancy Person of the Year, was a big hit at.the party, weaving in and out of the auction tables and chatting all the while with the crowd that followed her.

"I wanted to bid on the Ford, but they want real money," Schroeder said with a laugh.

Actually, the winner of the Ford Probe LX, donated by the Ford Motor Co., was none other than Douglas Hunt, a part-time math and computer science teacher at MSC. Hunt paid $12,750 for the new car, valued at $13,483.

The dress for the evening ranged from fitting fashion to downright hilarious. There were suit tops with denim bottoms and miniskirts with tennis shoes.

Renita Greenberg, chairwoman of the Plain & Fancy committee, greeted guests and helpCd auction ~sh0pper5 plaee their bids.

"I think this is the best auction that's ever been done," Greenberg said Metro President Thomas B. Brewer said he bid on some dinners and a baby sweater.

He and his wife, Betty, are new grandparents.

But he said what he really hoped to get was the autographed Alex English (Denver Nuggets) jersey. Brewer said last year his wife got the autographed John Elway jersey.

"I think what you see here is a great sign of support for what Metro stands for," Brewer said. He said that next year, the Ball is booked at the Convention Center. So, they hope to accommodate even more party goers.

Pink and white balloons floated around among the silver stars that hung from the ceiling. Tables sprinkled with confetti were lined with auction items ranging from getaways to the mountains, dinners at some fine Denver restaurants, tickets to shows, memberships to health spas, pieces of fine artwork, jewelry, sweets, services and wine.

The wine seemed to get bid on quickly.

party goers wore the bow ties - on their arms, as corsages, in their hair, around their ankles, and yes, some even wore them around their necks.

Models displayed some of the items, such as the autographed Bronco football and autographed Elway jersey, the fur coat and the jewelry.

Kirt Ace Segler The Metropolitan

Fist-fighting over food, losing change in a vending machine and standing in line 15 minutes for a hotdog can mean only one thing - you've decided to eat on campus again.

Just stop and think for a moment. Of all the places to eat, why would anyone choose to stay on campus? Of course. Everyone knows it is because of the great selection.

RIGHT! Let's begin our campus food tour with the Mercantile. That friendly little comer of the world that after a face lift no longer exists -the haven students flocked to for food, conversation and study time. Now it's just for conversation and study time and no one flocks.

Well, yes, of course it has been remodeled and it looks nicer. And, yes, someone else is running it. But don't miss out on the specialties it has to offer. The best they have to offer are spicy fries (which they make) and Dannon fr01.en yogurt (which they don't).

Of course, you don't have to wait in line so long. Mostly because there no longer is a line. Everyone just pushes and shoves to get food. Put some mud or jello on the floor and

everyone gets free entertainment. Another reason for the shortened line could be that everyone has gone someplace else.

However, the Mercantile does have its

There also seems to be a problem with the design of this place, no one really knows whether they are coming or going.

good points. For instance, one can usually find a table. And the carpeting is nice.

Now on to bigger, ·and let me restrain myself, better things. How about the Student Union cafeteria?

This is the place one should go if they have not received enough pushing and shoving at the Mercantile. The lines, if that's what one chooses to call them, are longer.

Another drawback is the seating. Unless someone wants to sit outside in the cold, there is never enough seating to go around.

But maybe that's better anyway. Who wants to eat one of those drier-than-dust sandwiches sitting down? It will only leave a lump in the victim's stomach.

This cafeteria does have good points too.

Except for the carpeting, however, they escape me.

Continuing on this journey, there is Canteen Auraria, in the South Classroom. This is another of those not-so-quaint places · where one can get food, conversation and study time. Yet, it is the food that should be last in this list of amenities.

This establishment, buzzing with traffic both during lunch and in between classes has a variety of specials throughout the week. These specials include chicken-fried steaks, smothered burritos, French dip sandwiches, cheese enchiladas and a taco salad.

On this particular day it was the enchiladas.

First, the workers were not sure why some had beef in them - get it? They are supposed to be CHEESE enchiladas. Second, if one likes eating frozen TV dinners served on a plate, this is the meal for you.

And the Mexicom that is served with these delicacies is regular com with pimentos mixed in. In other words, plain old com

Once through the line, finding a table is the next obstacle. Unless you like to stand and eat, it would be better to go in the late afternoon, like 2 or 3 p.m. Now. after someone has p~hed the book bag that was saving a table onto the floor- it's time to eat Having begun the task of guessing exactly what lunch is, one can generally decide that standing up to eat would ·have been better - the food goes down faster.

The cafeteria also has good points. There is a larger selection of food, from the utterly greasy to the fairly good. My favorite, however, is the soup. Never have I tasted Campbell's soup in this style. However, one drawback has to be that the carpeting is not nearly as nice as the Mercantile's.

Moving right along, there is the cafeteria in the North Classroom. To me it just seems to be a mini version of the Mercantile.

However, the rolls in the morning look more appetizing. The other great thing is that the line is somewhat organized. That is, if there are only 15 to 20 people in line.

Otherwise, people will be standing in the hallway - the same hallway that is barely big enough for two people to pass by each other anyway.

Don't get me wrong, the meal was filling - so filling it sat there all day. The other meals might be better, but I'm not taking that chance again. Next time I'll bring my own froz:en dinner.

Next in line is the Mission Bar and Grill,

17

located in the Student Union. Hthis was the last choice, it would be my only choice. The reason is simple - I can get a beer with, or instead of, a meal. I know many assume that journalists just like to drink, and in most cases I agree. However, in this case there is a method to the madness. After a beer or two, what one has eaten is no longer important The only important fact is that one has eaten at all. For the only time the meal, like the greasy smothered burrito, is really remembered is when it is sitting in the back of one's throat at the end of the day.

There is one thing that must be said: the pizza at the Mission is great However, when it comes to a choice of eating the smothered burrito and playing quarters, it is definitely a "toss up."

After having hit all of the major places on campus to eat, some of you may not be satisfied as to the choices. So, what is left?

Yes, the lounges.

(Writer's note: At this point it may be easier to read the next section if one hums along to the tune of the "Twelve Days of Christmas.")

.

After having gone through all the lounges on campus, there are 13 snack machines, 11 coke machines, five 7-Up machines, five fruit-juice machines, five coffee machines, four Pepsi machines, f-o-u-r- c-i-g-a-r-e-t-t-e machines, four change machines, three microwaves, three copy machines, one selt7.er machine and ONE person beating on a machine. Of course this is an estimated list, but I think everyone gets the point.

So, if after having gone through all of this list of the impr~ve places on campus to eat, one is still not satisfied, do what I do.

Today I'm eating at the Market on Larimer.

This year to promote student awareness and interest in the magazine, Metrosphere is running a cover contest. Dana Stephenson, the magazine's art director, is looking forward to seeing the variety of talent that she is confident is out there among the students.

Metrosphere was started in 1982 by Bob Pugel, professor of creative writing, to provide a literary showcase for the creative and artistic talents of fresh new exciting writers and artists.

Artists

have

an outlet Gus Wlnterfeld The Metropolitan

Have you heard of the Metrosphere Literary Magazine?

Unless you are a Metro English or art student, you probably haven't.

Carrie Aldrich, the new editor of the campus magazine, wants to change this.

The word from Aldrich and her staff is SUBMIT (your work)! ''Metrosphere is a good opportunity for students to display their works, and it looks good on a resume," Aldrich said Students and alumni should consider the magazine an open forum for their creative spirit, she said.

Metrosphere is an award-winning literary and art magazine that is published every spring at Metro. Previous issues contain a smattering of black and white artwork, photographs and graphics, poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction articles, essays and interviews.

For six years prior to starting the magazine, Pugel had published Scnbes, a well thought of magazine for, by and about senior citizens. The success of Senbes caught the attention of Metro's president who asked him if he would do another magazine.

Pugel agreed and published a Christmas sampler of works in 1981. It was an immediate success. The first full-length issue of Metrosphere followed the next year. For the first issue, the magazine received more than 2,000 submissions from all over the community, including poetry by Boulder poet Alan Ginsberg.

As he had done with Scribes, Pugel heavily involved his students in editing and publishing Metrosphere. Students made practically all decisions and received credit for their involvement. They gained firsthand experience by submitting pieces and evaluating submissions from others, including some from established authors. The magazine gave them an outlet and a perspective, Pugel said.

Pugel advised students working on the magazine to "read and critique submitted material the same way you'd want an editor to treat your own." They apparently listened because author Judson Jerome wrote that loving feedback was one of the things that

October 27, 1989

marked Metrosphere.

ButMetrospherehaschangedsignificantly since its debut in 1982.

Metrosphere is no longer run as a class project. And although English professor Vance Aandahl has made himself available to the staff to help with questions, the magazine no longer has an official faculty advisor. Student staffers, except for the editor, are volunteers and no longer receive English credit for their participation. The magazine has been downsiz.ed from full sil.e to digest sil.e, and submissions are now restricted to Metro students and alumni.

-

According to Pugel, who ceased his formal relationship with Metrosphere in 1987, most of these changes came when the magazine was removed from the English department and became solely financed by student funds. Because student fees sponsor the magazine, contributers are by charter restricted to students and alumni.

The changeover has caused some problems. Last year's edition came out after the spring semester ended, so it missed wide circulation. Boxes of uncirculated copies remain in the Metrosphere office. They are free to students.

Student interest in the magazine seems to have sagged to an all-time low. A recently advertiz.ed "name the muse" contest, with a $50 priz.e, drew a paltry 10 entries.

But the young and energetic staff remains undaunted and anxious to turn thiqp around They insist the Metrosphere is a great place for budding artists or writers to get started. And getting published in the magazine may be just the break one needs to be o catapulted into the limelight.

The Metropolitan is accepting letters and guest editorials on relevant topics and issues of student concern. Please bring submissions to our office, Rm 156 in the Student Union.

goal left that's attainable - top ten ranking.

Coach Ed Montojo said that would be a real credit to the team considering the schedule they've played. Out of 17 games, nine of MSC's opponents have been ranked in the top 20 in either Division I or Division II. But Metro was still in the thick of things before California.

Obstacle number one was eighth-ranked Sonoma State and Metro toppled them 3-2 in double overtime.

A spark-plug effort from Amber Jenkins sent MSC on its way. She put Metro up 1-0 when she beat the fullback to the ball and poked it past the Sonoma goalie. Then Jenkins bustled in again and took a nice assist from Tonja Ridgeway to give the Roadrunners a 2-0 cushion. After Sonoma cut the deficit to 2-1, Cindi Weishapl got the game-winner to set up Saturday's game with California State University-Chico.

"It was a total team effort," Montojo said.

"The defense was extremely good and I think we surprised a few people."

Metro played Chico in a "mud bowl"

SPORTS Lady kickers jilted from playoff berth Scott Moore The Metropolitan

Any hopes the MSC women's soccer team had of a post-season playoff berth were shook out from under them in California last weekend. A 1-1-1 road trip crushed the Roadrunners in an earthquake-like fashion.

The 8-6-1 Roadrunners have only one

that really took away any advantage MSC bad, Montojo said The heavy rain and mud took away Metro's speed and ball control in a 2-2 double overtime tie.

"We had the edge the entire game, but the field was an equalizer that really helped their game," Montojo said.

Bridgette Leisure scored first for MSC, getting a thru-ball and beating the keeper to the left band comer of the net. Chico evened it up at 1-1, then Mischi Jackson tallied again for the Roadrunners on a direct free kick from about 30 yards out and a 2-1 lead.

The first overtime ended like that, but Chico scored in the second overtime to knot the game for good.

Next up was California State UniversityHayward, defending NCAA Division II champs and the third-ranked team this season. After a scoreless first half, Hayward got some good breaks to break Metro's back with three straight goals for a 3-0 victory.

The game was marred by some pivotal calls, Montojo said "We played them even the whole way

through, but the ref made some very questionable calls that went against us on some good scoring opportunities. But we played them even and gained their respect," Montojo said "There were blowing crosswinds and it was our third game in four days; .. injuries and fatigue took its toll."

Currently ranked 12th in Division II, Metro is hoping to win its final two games to finish in the top 10. MSC is at home today (Friday) and Sunday against Augsburg College (MN) and St. Benedict (MN).

"I would have liked to have made the playoffs," Montojo said, "but I'm very pleased with the season. We had a lot working against us, but our ranking indicates how good we are. I wish we could have done more for the seniors. They came here four years ago to establish this program and I would say that they've outdone themselves."

Metro's seniors are Ridgeway, Jackson, Michelle Carroll, Leslie Zimmerman, Jami Cobb, Bobbi Geist, Leslie Markley, Weishapl o and Lora Powers.

Men's luck changes a little too late Auraria Field and a two-point win followed by another two-point win Wednesday against University of Denver would put MSC on top. Daly is ready to give it the ol' college

Scott Moore The Metropolitan

With destiny now in their own bands, Coach Dennis Daly and the MSC men's soccer team figure there's nowhere else in the world they would rather be heading into their final three games of the year.

The 6-9-1 Roadrunners - who gave a new meaning to the term ''bad luck" this year - can, realistically, win the division with a little good luck. The Roadrunners play Regis College tomorrow (Sat) at the

try.

"I think it will be a real tough bill; we've played more than our share of soa:er so far," he said. "We've had real rotten luck and it may be lingering, but they have to make their own destiny." This time, Daly hopes lady luck is on his side for a change.

Saturday, MSC was blanked by Seattle Pacific 3-0 in its only game of the year played on Astroturf. The following day Metro tied Seattle University 1-1 in a game Daly said Metro had every opportunity to win.

"It was real difficult playing in those conditions, but we had every opportunity to win. We owned them in the overtime, but couldn't find the net," Daly said. Junior David Michael tallied the one goal for the Roadrunners to send the contest into over-

time on a deflection down inside of the goalie box. "But once again lady luck wasn't with us."

So now it comes down to basically a three-game season for Daly and his team.

He said there are no injuries and the team knows what they have to do. But we'll be 100 percent ready to go, he added.

"We're still plugging sometimes, chugging sometimes and running sometimes, but we got some wins under our belt and it's done a world of good for our confidence," be 0 said

'

know art,' and they don't realize that they're the majority."

C.D. Turner Features Editor

The as&stant director of public relations looks slightly annoyed when anyone implies that it's impossible to get a good story at the art museum. She looks downright grumpy when a reporter starts fishing around about the man in charge of security as a po&ible story.

"H you want me to introduce you to the head of security I will," Kitty Silvey says.

"But if you want a story, I've got a story for you."

She explains that The Denver Art Museum does a lot to help adults and children appreciate art.

"They come in and think, 'My God, I'm the only person in the building who doesn't

The museum bas many tools that encourage participation between viewers and the art.

On the second floor is a game called eye-spy. It consists of a large board with nine circles. The viewer flips open a circle and finds a small section of a large piece of American Indian art. When the viewer searches to find where that small piece exists in the larger artwork, it involves the viewer in the details that might otherwise be overlooked.

On the fourth floor of the museum, a piece by William Bouguereau, titled "Two Girls," has a participatory label that asks bow the viewer is reacting to the piece and why.

Also on the fou~ floor are color palettes.

The viewer looks at the colors on the palette and figures out which paintings use the same colors as the palettes.

"It's all in the looking," Silvey says. "IT you look long enough, you'll find a piece that speaks to you. Art history takes you to another level, but you don't need it to enjoy art."

Silvey says that if people would just slow down and take some time with an artwork they'd find that they could connect. The educated art aficionado doesn't need any help connecting with art. But Silvey doesn't worry much about the aficionado.

"The rest of us need help," she says, "and deserve it."

Although Silvey doesn't use the term, it seems that The Denver Art Museum is trying very hard to make itself user frie ndly. o
