Students may no longer have to wait six weeks to find out if their student loans have been approved.

Susan McGinley, ~istant director of financial aid for MSC, said that with a new program, which should be put into action next spring, Stanford Loans, formerly GSl..s, Guaranteed Student Loans, will only take one day to process.

The program would take information from the student's file and transfer it to the computers at CSLP (Colorado Student Loan Program), McGinley said. This shortens the time it takes to put the student loan into the computer manually, get the applications in order, mail them to the lender and receive the results.

.Seventh Street a 'raceway' Joni Zlgan

The Metropolitan

At one time, when Lawrence Street was still a street, there was no safe place to cross ._ through the traffic. Frustrated students held a sit-in in the middle of Lawrence Street.

They got results; the city installed traffic lights.

"I personally think that's not a real bad approach," Shirley Marecak said. ~ Marecak is the chair of the Auraria parking and transportation advisory committee, and she is looking for some similar action on Seventh Street between Colfax Avenue and the Auraria Parkway.

Several parking lots, the physical plant,

the parking office and the Public Safety Building are in the west side of Seventh Street Parking in the lots, which are some of the cheapest lots, requires students and faculty to cro~ what Marecak calls a dangerous street.

"Right now Seventh Street is a 'raceway' - in both directions," Marecak wrote in a letter to Denver's deputy mayor, "with only one four-way stop required (Seventh and Curtis)."

Other faculty members also wrote to the city, and it seems that a sit-in may be avoided.

While Marecak has not received an official response from the city, she said that she saw black boxes at the intersection that may have

been monitoring traffic.

Herb Strain, who performs traffic counts for Denver, said that the city is responding to complaints.

"We're going to do a full-blown study on it," Strain said. .Strain said the city has done some machine counts of the traffic and plans to perform some manual counts soon.

While the city is taking action now, Marecak wrote in her letter that previous requests had not been responded to this quickly.

One student who parks west of Seventh Street asked Marecak for a copy of her letter.

She told Marecak she planned to start a o petition concerning the street.

"CSLP is lending us a programmer to help set up the system," McGinley said. "It's a nice gesture on CSLP's part to help us implement this."

The process could be handled in one of two ways. One is to take the student's information already in the system and download it onto MSC's computers and then upload it again into CSLP's mainframe system. Second would be to put all of the information on a computer tape and send it to CSLP. Either of these is faster than the current system, McGinley said.

"If you can, however, eliminate that time it takes to deliver the tape, it makes it that much faster," McGinley said. "fm excited to see that we're going to get to this this year," said McGinley. "We'rejust at a point that we're ready to do it."

Colorado State University in Fort Collins, has had a system similar to this for a year and a half and is the only school in the state that has one, Craig Walker, director of financial aid at CSU said.

"CSLP tells us what they need and how they need it," Walker said. "Then we wrote a program that delivered that information. "lt's also more accurate. People don't have to fill out as many forms, we just take the existing information in the datat.e and transfer it on tapes which are sent down to CSLP twice a week," Walker said.

Grant hustlers prey on stu9e.nts Cory Castle The Metropolitan There are better and less expensive ways to find money for college than going to a scholarship search company, according to Cheryl Judson.

Judson, director of financial aid at Metropolitan State College, is referring to companies that charge students a fee to find little-known funds and scholarships to help subsidize tuition.

Individuals pay a fee to get into a database that holds information on scholarships, grants and other

funds. Then they solicit students to pay them a fee to find those funds, Judson said.

"Someofthescholarshipsareso obscure," said Judson, ''the applicants, sometimes, can never meet the requirements put forth by the scholarships themselves.

"We [the financial aid office] have an obligation to serve the students in the same way without any cost," said Judson. "We have access to the same databases that the 'search' companies do.

"I buy books every year that list scholarships and give them to the Auraria Higher Education Center

Library for students to reference," Judson said. "It's like a quick fix: either the students can find it themselves, or they can pay someone else.

"Historically, Metro bas not had enough students apply for financial aid who were eligible, anyway," J~n said. .

Private, f~r-~ofit scholarship search orgaruzati~ns should not be en~rsed, acco~g to Robert I. Misenko, former director of financial aid at the University of Minnesota.

There are five to six database companies in the United States,

Misenk~ said. Tb~e database

comparu~ se~ ~chises o~ agree-

ments to mdividuals who m tum market "search" services to the public.

"Theoretically, an unknowing consumer could pay $50 to $60 to several organii.ations," Misenk:o said, "only to receive identical referrals because the organii.ations subscnbe to the same database search company."

Misenko said the claims these search companies make get larger and larger, but the scholarship funds available don't.

Student rally helps library .

Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan More than 230 students signed a petition to speed allocation offunds to the Auraria Library, for its 1989-90 academic year budget, at an event held in the Student Union on Oct. 26.

The event was co-sponsored by MSC Student Government and The Advocate, UCD's student newspaper. Advocate Editor Kevin Amsberry circulated the petition while Roots Redemption, a local reggae band, played.

The petition will be sent to the University of Colorado Board of Regents, the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges and the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education.

"All the petition requests is the funding that bas already been approved, it says 'let's have the money,' " Amsberry said, "The

money bas been banging at least a month."

MetroStudentGovemmentPresl'dent Kelly Martin w'd the library is not the only place Auraria bas deficiencies, but it is a place to start.

"We want the (state) l..aiclature -.,... that We need to be funded, know to more so, next time the budget comes up, so they're aware of the lack of classroom space and every thing else. We're just concentrating on the bbrary," Martin said.

Martin also applauded the Advocate for its co-sponsorship, calling it a "fantastic joint effort."

Amsberry said that he did not feel comfortable in the role of the newsmaker, but considering the issue and the circumstances be said The Advocate. had to get involved.

The event had originally been a collaboration among the tri-institutional student governments, but UCO and CCD were forced to

withdraw support because of lack of funding. ''The Advocate wanted to promote the effort of the three student governments, to promote community which is our primary goal," Amsberry said, "Frankly, I was embamwed when UCO Events did not approve the funding. We had to back UCD's commitment."

Student Senate reevaluating Thomas then told the Senate that, while its budget is large, the Senate does less than any other student government in the state.

Thomas said the parking issue, the drop fee and teacher evaluations are problems the student body wants corrected, but the Senate is preoccupied with matters they should be working out among themselves.

Criticism, resignations and a harsh berating descended upon Metro's Student Senate at its Wednesday, Oct. 25, meeting.

Student Trustee Terry Thomas began the meeting by reading a letter of resignation from Sen. Judith Perez to the Senate. In her

letter, Perez cited a childishness in the behavior of her fellow senators as a primary reason for her resignation.

Martinez were dropped when no senator motioned to pursue them. However, more resignations are reportedly impending.

Sen. Kevin Miller listed the qualities necessary for professional representation by any elected official in his Parliamentarian's report.

The list included recognizing a peer's accomplishments, not his or her faults, representing the student's needs and keeping promises to resolve issues recogniz.ed in campaigns.

"Unfortunately, only a few senators present here today are professional representatives to the students of MSC," Miller said, "If I am wrong, prove it. Since elected, many of you have forgotten the issues."

Miller said later that he had planned to resign after his speech, "... but a few good friends talked me out of it." Instead he resigned from his chairmanship of the Campus Safety Committee and Christina Firouztash was elected.

President Martin then asked the Senate to work on communication and to focus on goals. Vice President Bill Jermance encouraged conflict resolution .

Since the meeting, however, other senators have spoken of resignation, including Kleg.

Kleg said time constraints and his nomination as a finalist in the Mock Trial will necessitate his resignation.

Kleg said that his resignation is in no way influenced by the Black Student Alliance, but that his plans to go to law school must come before serving in Student Senate.

If there are any impeachments or recalls in the future of this Student Senate, the

procedure may be clearer.

A bill introduced by Student Advisory Council to the Auraria Board Rep. Dan Becker provides guidelines to both impeachment and recall procee.dings. If accepted by the Senate, the bill would apply to any senator currently facing charges.

Colorado State Controller Clifford W. Hall will be playing the part of the Grinch this year for MSC teachers.

In recent years, employees of most state colleges and community colleges, including Metro, have been able to pick up their monthly paychecks prior to the Christmas holidays. Hall, who has been acting as state controller for the past six months, changed that policy Oct. 13.

This year, all employees of higher education institutions will have to wait for their checks until Dec. 29.

"When we're paying out $15 to $20 million eight or nine days early," said Hall, "the state is losing thousands of dollars in

THE

interest."

"That's just an administrative convenience," said Hall, "and it's costing the taxpayers money."

Hall also said that employees of Colorado universities like Colorado State University and UDiversity of Colorado have never been paid early, and this will make state policies consistent.

Cheryl Krubbe, of the MSC budget office, said that no changes will be made in the pay dates for part-time faculty members and student hourly employees.

Affected employees are being urged to take advantage of the automatic deposit service provided by the payroll office.

Knibbe said there has been little reaction by faculty to the new policy, but the memo announcing the change had only been out for a few days. o

Grad rules to change mencement and then return to finish course work is very rare. Traditionally commencement is saved for students who are entirely finished with their degree, he said.

Betty Lewis

The l'letropolitan

Candidates for 1990 summer graduation who think they will be allowed to participate in the spring commencement ceremony better think again.

Starting with the 1990 commencement, students will have to complete all degree work in order to participate in the ceremony.

According to Nancy Maierhofer, graduation agreement staff assistant for the past several years, students who -technically graduated at the end of August were allowed to participate in the spring ceremony as summer graduation candidates.

Allowing summer candidates to participate in spring commencement gave them the opportunity to graduate with the other students with whom they had attended classes, instead of returning for the following spring's ceremony. In addition, the practice accommodated students who had jobs out of state when summer semester ended.

Metro President Thomas B. Brewer introduced the new policy because he is opposed to students participating in commencement before they are completely finished with all course work.

"I feel commencement is a very important ceremony that signifies receiving a degree and moving on," Brewer said. The practice of allowing students to participate in com-

Brewer said he has always approved this practice even when he was directly affected by it. He said he was not allowed to participate in commencement for his doctorate because of a similar policy.

Prof~r JoyO. Yunker, commencement committee chair, said approximately 1,400 students participate in the ceremony each spring. The new policy, she said, will limit the length of the ceremony and reduce overcrowding at the coliseum.

"The coliseum has a maximum capacity of 8,100 people and we're at the limit," Yunker said. "As a tradition, Metro graduates can bring as many guests as they want to graduation. We don't want to have to get to the point where there is a limit on how many they can bring."

Yunker said a letter stating the new policy is scheduled to go to all seniors, but to her knowledge it has not happened yet.

Yunker said a letter stating the new policy is scheduled to go to all seniors, but to her knowledge it has not happened yet.

Brewer said the commencement committee will be discussing the possibility of scheduling an additional commencement ceremony for 1990-91 summer and fall graduates. o

Visiting Soviet passes judgment Robert Pattison c.

•

The Metropolitan

Perestroika (economic restructuring) and glasnost (openness) are equal to a revolution in the Soviet Union - what was unacceptable became acceptable; people expressing opinions without fear, said Dr. Artem Zavenovich Arabajan.

All that was necessary for glasnost to appear was a wish of the highest party.

Glasnost is the first fruit of perestroika and between them exists a causal relationship, said Arabajan who spoke about the impact of perestroika and glasnost, America, ethnic violence, and the Star Wars defense plan at the Student Union in Room 330 on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

Arabajan, who has a Ph.D. in economics, is visiting professor from the Soviet Union and teaches Iranian history at the University of Colorado at Denver, said right off that his speech would contain a few judgments.

"None of the tests (shortages, low farm production) that perestroika and glasnost have to solve were unexpected to me," he said. There is a feeling of great satisfaction and dissatisfaction about perestroika. In the four and one half years it's been around, it has not yet succeeded in creating a renewed economic system, he said.

However, a two-party system may exist one day because the social processes are such that it could happen, he said. But, he asked, does the two-party system really dominate in the United States? "Cannot the

Republican and Democratic parties be considered as one party ... the party of the majority of the American people?" he asked.

Then, moving to ethnic violence in the Soviet Union, Arabajan, an Armenian, said that the Soviet Union is a deeply socially unsettled state but it would be a gross error to reduce every problem to the sharpening of hostilities between Armenians and Arerbaijanis.

UCD's International Affairs Program sponsored the hour-long speech. He has published 60 scientific articles, co-authored several monographs and is the head of the Iranian Section of the department of the Near and Middle East Studies at the Academy of Sciences in the U.S.S.R. Arabajan will teach at UCD until December 20. o

Shots being taken at the flu everyone on our staff."

Patricia Townsend The Metropolitan

The price of a coke and a slice of pi.72.a could help you ward off the miseries of flu this season and keep you from making up that missed final.

The MCS Student Health Clinic has received 500 doses of the flu vaccine and started issuing them Oct. 16, said Ron Veatch, director of the Student Health Clinic.

Vcatch said the cost of the vaccine is $3, and all a student has to do is walk in and request the shot "I think everyone will be able to have a shot," Veatch said "I got mine and so did

Vcatch said he believes the shot is 70 percent effective. "The vaccines are made up ahead of time and you never know for sure which strain will hit," Vcatch said. "I think they've done a good job this time though and most of the symptoms are covered" According to information at the health clinic, the viruses that cause flu frequently change, so people who have been infected or given a flu shot in previous years may become infected with a new strain.

The flu is a viral infection of the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs. Usually cases of the flu increase in the United States between November and April. Symptoms include fever, chills, cough, soreness

Stranger Than Fiction

By Chad Morris Have you been feeling down lately? Is the mid-term stress getting to you? Do you cringe in fear and impotence every time you look at a newspaper or watch a sportscast?

A recent report in the New England Journal of Medicine has revealed that all of the above is a direct result of an appalling and dangerous lack of goofiness in the world.

Fortunately, the torch of goofiness has been taken up by a little-known think-tank located right here in Colorado: The Harpo Marx Institute of Goofy Studies.

I called the Institute to discern exactly what kind of help they offered to those suffering from Late 1980s Stress Disorder. Unfortunately, the receptionist informed me that all the counselors were out to lunch and they had a pretty heavy round of Frisbee golf coming up after that.

She did, however, send me a catalog of pamphlets and books published by the Institute that might be able to help me.

By far, the most useful and general book is their latest titled " Goofy: How to Get It" (1989 Pratfall Press, a mere $4.95). It describes the basics of the goofy lifestyle - where to find the best glow-in-the-dark Frisbees, exactly how to get the perfect baggy trousers look, one of the best guides to vintage clothing stores I've ever seen, and of course, a complete guide to every Marx brother's movie.

However, the lengthy list of fine and infinitely informative publications doesn't end there. While " Goofy: How to Get It" is an excellent starting place, the Institute also provides specialized guides to fit any aspect of your life.

For students, there is "The Goofy Guide to College."

This is one of the most important books to read since it can lay a strong foundation for living the goofy life. A recent study by the Institute shows that a lot of the fun went out of college when Frisbee was turned into an organized sport for profit, like it was football or something.

The college guide also lists the 10 goofiest colleges in the U.S. - Metro ranked fourth right after Barnes Business School, MIT and Texas A&M. So just going to school here is a good start to living the goofy life. Why was Metro only rated fourth, you ask? The guide wasn't too specific, but it did say something about "creeping dlitism," adding a school of business - a far too serious thing for a truly goofy college.

However, for those of you who are already locked into the business world , there is "Goofy Business" (Hardcover $2.95, paperback $11.95 because of the much more attractive cover art. Both from Pratfall Press).

"Goofy Business" explains the fine art of throwing pencils into sound-proof ceiling tiles and the ability to claw your way to the top wearing plaid Bermuda shorts.

It's a definite must-have for the business set.

It's probably important to mention here that "Goofy Business" also explains why the mascotforthe Institute is Harpo Marx and not Goofy from the Walt Disney cartoons. You see, Goofy and Walt Disney are Big Business. Goofy Business is more along the lines of the original Celestial Seasonings Tea Company. The cafeteria was a pile of boulders and pine trees and you could buy a tofuburger with your bag of fried pork rinds. Now that's goofy.

So don't despair. The world is not out to get you , it's just not goofy enough yet. If you're still not happy, call the Institute at 1-800-BE GOOFY. Order a book, the Institute accepts all major credit cards and Monopoly money. But above all: Think Goofy, be Goofy.

Experience credit valuable Editor, I am writing to express my concerns and support for the Contract Major and Credit For Prior Learning programs at MSC. For the past two years I have worked with Eleanor Green and Maureen Lancaster in Adult Learning Services in order to complete a degree that was started twenty-five years ago.

During that time I have been involved in the professional and business communities. I have served as a county planning commissioner and had to make serious decisions affecting both the quality of life of the public and the economic realities of development. I have served on national boards of professional organizations, lobbied in Congress, and met with high-ranking Soviet officials to exchange information on providing housing.

I have owned, operated and sold my own business.

Clearly, I am not a beginner.

I have just completed writing and compiling the necessary documentation for twelve hours of credit based on my life experience. It has taken months to do the preliminary work and there are no guarantees that

the requests will be accepted. I could have sat in classes and studied for exams for the same courses with far less effort. But I am willing to use this approach in order to get the most from this semester. I am also extremely proud of the work I have done over the years, and believe not only the public, but an institution of higher learning should also find it entirely respectable and worth acknowledgment.

I do not suggest the portfolio process for a young person or for the faint of heart. Clearly, it is not designed for them. But it is designed for someone like myself and is a primary reason for my selection of this school.

I support the programs provided by the Adult Learning Services and encourage others to investigate the program.

Student Gov,t ineffective Editor,

once a person becomes a part of Student Government they work for the students.

I must commend John Roper on his article in last week's Metropolitan . It hits the nail on the head. But I must inform you of a few things you didn't hit on.

For one, do you remember that retreat ASMSC went on? I do. I remember being asked to write down my goals and things I would like to see Student Government do. I assure you it didn't include seeing an internal fight in Student Government. What happened to the faculty evaluations and the marketing of Student Government (students should know who represent them)? What is happening with parking? These are things that Student Government should be working on. If we were focusing on these issues and others, we wouldn't have time for name calling.

Two, every student should know that student fees support Student Government and if we are not being effective they should not be so bureaucratic that we cannot get things done on behalf of students in a timely manner. Whether the representatives are paid or not,

Third, the executive members of Student Government are the leaders of the organization. This starts with the Student Body President (who is paid by student fees) . If the presidency has no direction, the chairs of committees and all other members will be lost as well. It is the job of all executive members to find a direction for the happening now? Roper didn't think so last week and most likely he feels the same way this week.

In closing, I would like to say Student Government is set up to be the voice of students. If you are a student and you have an issue which you feel is important, I would like you to write it down or contact me or Bill Jermance (ASMSC Vice President) or Kelly Martin (ASMSC President) at 556-3312. You have the right to be heard - you paid your student fees, right?

GUEST EDITORIAL

.

Amnesty concert will serve worthy cause Editor, Amnesty International is a human rights organization that began in London in 1961 . After the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created in the United Nations in 1948, Amnesty evolved into a group with clout, which brings to the world's attention certain very important paragraphs in the declaration. Since its birth, Amnesty has policed governments, both malevolent and benevolent, and now has branches in more • than 80 countries around the globe. As evil never sleeps, so they say, Amnesty's work is never done. It must be the busiest organization in the world. It doesn't deal only with prisoners of conscience. It is also concerned with the average John Doe who finds himself dragged from his bed in the wee hours and .L summarily murdered in the street because he may be a · relative, distant or close, of someone whose ideas do not sit well with the government of the moment in his country. Hund reds of thousands of ind ivid ual s, some of them teenagers, have simply disappeared, never to be seen again, in countries like Chile and Argentina during ,

their dark years of oppression. Wherever there is a flagrant disregard for human rights, you'll find members of Amnesty International working hard to try and protect citizens from the harsh ruling party.

Amnesty should not be considered a political group, by the way. I've heard people express that impression several times. It seems to me that the organization cares not what name a government chooses to use; its concerns are about the quality of life and liberty under its rule.

You've read and seen and even heard about wonderful, large concerts given by rock stars for Amnesty International this past year; 1988 was the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these events were designed to celebrate that fact and raise money for more efforts around the world by the organization. Now you can see, hear and enjoy artists of high caliber from Colorado, performing for Amnesty's benefit at the downtown Denver Westin Hotel, 3rd Floor Auditorium on Saturday, Nov. 11th. For just $10 (ALL of which goes to A. I.) you can hear music of the classical, folk, semi-modern and Celtic design

performed by members of the Denver Chamber Orchestra, Academy in the Wilderness Orchestra, Maestro David Lockington, Lobster Reel Celtic Trio, Metro secretary Jeannie Wilkins (folk soprano) , Jennifer Wagner (classical and modern soprano) and our own Metropolitan State College Chamber Singers, under the baton of Dr. Jerry Mccollum.

For those of you who imbibe, there'll be a cash bar and a chance to talk with the artists as well as some honored guests: MSC President Tom Brewer will address the audience; Congresswoman Pat Schroeder has promised to try to be there; the Honorable Tito Chaverri, Consul of Costa Rica will attend and then there's the audience - which I hope will include you!

For further information you may call 733-1207/4400913. You can purchase tickets at the door, but advance purchase is advised, due to the limited number of seats available.

PEOPLE Hopes turn into reality for refugee Judy Floyd

The ~etropolitan

In less than three months, Dia Cha will fulfill a long-held dream. She will graduate from Metropolitan State College.

The journey for Cha has been long and difficult. It began in the mountains of Laos, has taken her to a refugee camp in Thailand and finally to the anthropology department at MSC. Five years ago, the journey almost ended; the dream nearly shattered in a New Year's Day fire. But the dream survived, and this woman will soon embark on another part of the journey.

From the beginning, life was not easy.

Born in the mountains of Laos, Cha - like so many of the Hmong people - was one of the victims of the Vietnam War. Her father was a member of ''the secret army" that helped the United States during the war. Like his fellow soldiers, he often lived in the jungle for months at a time. One fateful day in 1972, Cha's father left the village to participate in one of the largest and last battles in Laos.

He never returned.

The family has never learned what hap-

pened to him. They assume he died in battle.

"I don't remember his face," said Cha, who was less than 8 years old at the time.

Cha can only guess her age because in the Hmong culture there are few written records.

Only a few of the men who left her village that day ever returned, Cha said.

In 1975, American forces left Vietnam, and the Communists gained control of both Vietnam and Laos.

Fearing reprisals and perhaps even death at the hands of the Communists, Cha, her mother, a brother and a sister began their escape to neighboring Thailand. The four, moving through one village to the next, clung to the hope that they would eventually find passage to the United States.

The family - with no money, little food and few possessions - tried in vain for two months to reach Vientiane, the capital of Laos. From there, the four planned to travel to the Mekong River for the short, but dangerous, boat trip to Thailand. Each day, however, when the four exiles arrived at the village bus stop, they were turned back because the bus was too crowded.

Finally, after leaving their hideout very early one morning, the family boarded the empty bus. They were ferried across the river and into Thailand.

Cha estimates that she was between I 0 and 12 years old when the family escaped.

Cha's family believed that safety and security awaited them in Thailand. And because Cha's father had helped the CIA, they believed they would be free to travel to the United States.

Instead, the family spent four and a half years in three different refugee camps.

The family could provide no proof of the father's service, and American authorities did not believe them. '

"It was like prison," Cha said of the last "The worst part was the mask I had to camp. Like 40,000 other refugees, neither wear over my face," Cha said.

"It were cruel. was very difficult, especially for the older people and the children," Cha said. ""' The one bright spot during this dark period was the camp school that Cha, after many pleas, was allowed to attend.

Cha said she was perhaps 14 years old when she attended her first class and formally began her quest for an education. She has spent more than 10 years in pursuit of this dream. The search continues.

Critic sings 'Our Song's' • praises Kirt Ace Begler The Metropolitan

The MSC Theatre opened its season with the Neil Simon musical ''They're Playing Our Song" before a sell-out crowd Friday, Oct. 27. The show is a wonderful mixture of comedy, drama, emotion, dance and song that weaves together the themes of success, relationships and love.

With a cast of eight actors, Sandi Herbert takes the lead of Sonia opposite Scott Spalding's Vernon. Both do a credible job in the roles of two opposites that attract. In a time when going to a therapist is the "in" thing to do, both fit in perfectly.

Sonia is the scatterbrained lyricist who is put with Vernon to collaborate on five songs. Herbert illustrates the many faces of Sonia, from the hyper-energetic to the loving, emotional side. Herbert's dramatics are well controlled in the recording studio scene, as she projects and sings the tune "I Still Believe in Love."

Vernon is the award-winning pianist who, with his reserved and level-headed nature, is only similar to Sonia in that the two had seen therapists in the same building. Spalding

November 3, 1989

grabs the audience with this character, both through his sarcasm and his one-liners. His professionalism is overwhelming in his musical numbers, but his voice seems to be a little quiet Spalding's physical acting ability is taken to the hilt through his facial expressions and limping during the last scene. He is definitely a refreshing actor.

The two are backed with an entourage of six actors, Kristi Anne Gleason, Charla D. Mason, Lynn Mclellan, John Burtschi, Alan Johnson and Jamil Khera. The three actresses are the inner voices of Sonia, and the actors are the inner voices of Vernon.

This gtaup not only pulls the show together, but adds much of the physical comedy and flair to the show. This is apparent during scenes and during set rearrangement. All six deserve a hand.

One of the characters who turns up throughout the show, but is neither seen nor heard, is Leon. Of all the characters, Leon seems to be the star. He not only interrupts many of the scenes between Sonia and Vernon, but he is also both the binding and separating factor between the two.

The show begins with Sonia and Vernon meeting for the first time. This scene serves both as an interesting introduction for the two and as a disaster. The show then follows through the smooth/turbulent work and love affair that the two share.

Sonia arrives each and every time, until the second act, with a dress that she has borrowed from a cousin who is an actress.

The only problem is that all of the dresses belong to characters from wildly different plays.

Along the same line, Vernon is always talking into this stupid recorder trying to get down all of his thoughts. In the beginning 111

BY THE WAY ...

By C.D. Turner Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 6 and 7, is the day to hang out in the Student Union Room 330 to celebrate Veteran's Day (I can't find out which veteran we're celebrating, and I still think we should honor them all.) Now this is long, but' not really boring. Here we go: On Monday, Nov. 6, from 11:30a.m. to 12:30p.m. a Cl30 pilot will~ the removal of POWs from Vietnam. From 1-2 p.m. a panel will talk aboutliving overseas. And from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. the computer graphics department will present "Future in Space."

OK, now on Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 11:15 a.m. to 12: 15 p.m. (of course, but we have to stick to the AP stylebook. I mean who seriOqsly thinks this wild frivolity will be taking place in the middle of the nigbl) US AFAjaiz band the Falconnaires (Pm guesmng we're talking Air Force Academy, my personal all-time favorite jazz band) will undoubtedly play something nice. But ~ of all, the MSC ROTC will present colors.

And, from 1-2 p.m. Scott Carpenter will, I don't know, ... speak. (If you don't know who be is, then you should be there for sure.)

From 2:30 to 3:30 WWII, Korean and Vietnam vets will have a panel discussion.

Last, but not least, from 3:30 to 4:30 a security briefing team will present "Defense Modernization, the Key to Future Security."

Perhaps they'll discuss nuclear disarmainent (Yeah, when pigs fly. And if you believe that, I have a bridge I want to discws with you - in Oakland.)

Wednesday, Nov. 8, is a free day for all Colorado residents at the Denver Museum ofNatural History, if you have proof. Maybe you could take your mother. Not IMAX, not Gates Planetarium, just the museum, but ,.that's enough; it's a deal. The Aztec exhibition should still be there. Go and have a nice time, even though you all know I have to work on Wednesdays. I don't mind. Don't you worry about me.

Also on Wednesday, Nov. 8, the Denver Art Museum's Top of the Week program is featuring the Queen City Jazz Band's Dixielandsoundsfrom5to8 p.m. Maybe Plank would give me the night off. (Yeah, when elephants fly.)

Remember bow the Denver ArtMuseum is free on Saturdays? Well, "Treasuresnever seen before outside of China" will be there · until the end of the year. ;: Wednesday, Nov. 8 (Wednesdays aie such a popular day in Denver) the MSC In!itute for Entrepreneurshipand Creativity along with the Auraria Student Asmtance Center Division will present "How to Mak~ a Business Work" in the North Clasm:>om 1608 at 3:30 to S p.m. Who knows? Maybe Brewer will show up and get a few tips.

Maybe he'll even change his mind about trying to shove the journalism department , into the prof5ional studies school. [Yeab, Larry Johnson flies.] I mean YUCK. Isn't that the most disgusting idea?

Thursdays through Saturdays, Nov. 3 through Dec. 2, NOT on Thanksgiving though, Hunger Artists will present a play with bawdy humor - six females on a · prison ship called "Female Transport."

'Mame' provides kicks lneke Caycedo The Metropolitan

Juliet Prowse has added a new dimension to the role of gravelly voiced, vivacious Mame Dennis in the current touring production of "Mame."

The svelte 53-year-old Prowse not only plays Mame with the verve characteristic of the role, but with a style and grace that keeps eyes riveted to her every move.

Her Mame may not be as wry as Rosalind Russell's or as flamboyant as Lucille Ball's, but when Prowse dances, the stage is infused with an energy that reaches out and wraps around the audience.

Prowse's strong performance is backed by a delightful supporting cast.

Britt West, who plays young Patrick Dennis, Mame's orphaned nephew who comes to live with her, is sufficiently wideeyed to be charming, and his soft soprano voice is touching.

The role of Agnes Gooch, played by Meghan Duffy, has always been the comedy show stopper, and this time is no different.

Duffy appears very subdued in the first act of the play, but it is an effective foil for the laughs she unleashes in Act II. Her l~ woman routine in the second act is a side ·

_,

.,

~

spJitter.

Vera Charles, Mame's supposed best friend, played by Delphi Lawrence, is somewhat of a disappointment. Lawrence looks like an older Bette Davis, her graying hair flat on top and puffed out to the sides like an aging down's.

The customary jabs that fly back and _ forth between Mame and Vera, an aging actress, are not as sharp or as funny in Lawrence's delivery.

However, Lawrence does redeem herself in the "Bosom Buddies" number where she and Mame declare thlir undying friendship as they verbally rip each other to shreds.

Both women are having so much fun they can't help but draw others in.

A musical wouldn't be a musical without rousing numbers of which Mame has several.

The "Mame" number at the end of the first act was beautifully choreographed by Diana Bafa-Brill, who directed the show as well The number has a series of high-kicking cancans that inspire applause before the number is over.

But in this particular production the best number comes in the second act when Mame goes to meet a now-grown Patrick's future in-laws in Connecticut and dances with Patrick's friends in a number called ''That's How Young I Feel" Prowse really makes this number. She seems to float among the argylt>dad, college-

many . of the thoughts about Sonia are negative. Although it is evident that the two are in love with each other, the first act ends with the two of them deciding to get together. They have embarked on a weekend together e.t the beach. But as usual, Sonia has let Leon get in the way of her romance. In frustration and anger, Vernon stomps out of the room as the lights fall Act II follows the life of the two love birds, right up to the point where they have finished their business collaboration, and Vernon decides they should finish their private collaboration as well. This brinp on the scene where Sonia • is left alone in the recording studio. Not to

type chorus, touching everyone, making sparks fly. She increases the momentum until, at the end, even the audience is left breathless.

Baffa-Brill's direction is superb, although her interpretation in some parts is questionable.

It is hard to believe that Patrick, who spends much of his time in a high-brow boarding schoo~ would choose an airhead with bumbling parents as a fiancee.

Patrick's girlfriend, Gloria Upson, played

by Julie Christie, is too much of an airhead and too superficial to be believable. Christie overplays the part and creates more of a vacancy than a character.

The set by Peter Wolf Concepts is something to behold. It is a simple structure with a life of its own.

The 1920s and 1930s New York backdrops shimmer with promise and magic glittering when times are good and fading when sadness sets in.

A spiral staircase serves as the center piece for Mame's New York apartment, essential for dramatic entrances in an apartment that is filled with dramatic personalities.

The staging ofBurnside's southern plantation where Mame goes to meet her future husband's family is so well done that one can almost feel the humidity.

Unfortunately, there were numerous problems with the set that on this particular evening caused a number of unexpected laughs.

The most glaring was at the end of the first

The pillars that set the illusion of the southern marisionwoUidnotdeScendan ihe way, and the staircase that is the center of Mame's apartment would not disappear.

As a result, the stairway remained on the stage and when the pillars did finally descend, one rested precariously on the side of the stairs giving the mansion the look of a decaying home rather than one belonging to a wealthy man.

To the cast's credit they handled it marvelously despite the audience's peals of laughter. One could almost hear the cast's sighs of relief as the pillars disappeared for the next scene.

Despite these problems, which have surely been ironed out, Mame is a warm show that is a lot of fun.

It takes you from the highly comical in Agnes Gooch to the very touching moments of Patrick's and Mame's relationship and leaves you with a warm glow as you walk o out into the cold Denver night.

The five-piece orchestra blends well with the actors, to fill in a show that is truly a collaboration in itself. However, if one is sitting on the side of the orchestra, it may be hard to hear the actors voices during musical numbers.

Overall, this is one production that director Marilyn Hetzel should be proud of. The acting, singing and music blend to create an enjoyable evening for everyone. o

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA WORTH WINNING GROSS ANATOMY NEXT OF KIN SECOND SIGHT BREAKING IN

::·=

{.

The MSC club football team was playing for all the toys. But the bigger, stronger Air Force Prep School bullied the Roadrunners in the battle for the Colorado Football Conference championship and the right to go to the Toy Bowl.

With the victory - a thrilling 37-21 contest last Friday- the Huskies move into the annual event sponsored by the Marines and Toys for Tots. The likely opponent for Air Force, in the game designed to raise toys for kids, will be the champion of the Kansas Athletic Conference. For Metro, the loss ends their season with a 7-2 record, while the Huskies are currently 6-3.

It looked promising for the Roadrunners going into the fourth quarter with a 14-9 lead in a defensive struggle. But the roof caved in on MSC as Air Force raced to 28 fourth quarter points and the title.

On fourth down from the two-yard line, Wayne Young steamrolled his way up the middle for a score and with the two-point conversion the Huskies went on top to stay 17-14 at the outset. On the ensuing drive, Metro quarterback Howard Carlisle was intercepted by Alex Kleckner, who returned it to the MSC 42-yard line. A long-pass play from quarterback Scott Teigen gave Air Force a 24-14 cushion and it looked to be the end for Metro.

"That was a really key play for us," said Air Force head coach Darrell Mastin "Those kids [Metro] were doing a better job than I thought they would of shutting us down and we really needed to gain some momentum."

But the Roadrunners dug deep and responded with a three-yard pass from Carlisle to senior Pat Wall down to the Huskies , eight-yard line. The Air Forcedefensestiflend and on fourth down Carlisle again hit Wall, in one-on-one coverage, for a 17-yard scoring pass to cut the deficit to 24-21 with eight minutes left.

As fate would have it, though, Air Force came up with the break of the game. After sophomore Eric Riser recovered a fumble at the Air Force thr~yard line, Carlisle dropped back and threw a swing pass that apparently fell incomplete. An Air Force defensive player fell on the ball, which the referee had ruled a fumble off of a lateral, and the Huskies gained possession. On the next play, Young took a short pass in the flat and

rambled 53 yards and the score to put the visitors up 30-21 with about six and a half minutes left.

"I heard a whistle; everyone on our sidelines said they heard a whistle. But we should have been aware enough to jump on the ball," said Metro coach T.J. Cole of the controversial play. "It wasn't supposed to be a lateral, it was supposed to be a flare pass."

Chris Follin put the finishing touches on Air Force's outburst, racing untouched down the sideline off of yet another Carlisle interception for the final score as Air Force rolled into the Nov. 18 game. This was a game that Mastin was glad to come out on top in against the gritty Roadrunners, who were the toughest team the Huskies faced in the league this year, he said.

"Metro did a heck of a job. They really looked teriffic, but we got that momentum at the end and I think our guys kind of wore 'em down," Mastin said.

Earlier, after Air Force had gone up on a three-yard touchdown run from Jeff Hantes and a field goal, Mike Boatright bulled his way in from two yards out to put MSC on the board. The play was set up by a 37-yard halfback pass from Scott McGrath to Ed Gadson. The normally ground-happy Road- • runners were forced to the air by a swarming Air Force defense.

In the third quarter, Carlisle hit Julian Wells for 20 yards to set up their second score, giving them their only lead of the game. Forced from the pocket, Carlisle rolled right and found Gadson behind the defense for a 45-yard scoring strike. Leading 14-9, the MSC defense kept the Huskies at bay until their fourth-quarter swing.

"The way they run that wishbone it's hard to defense," Cole said. "But our guys were great; we shut them down. It just goes to show you that Air Force is not a machine; they can be beaten. I'm real proud of my guys because they did not get beat." o

runners lost to Minnesota-Duluth; 15-9, 315, 10-15, 11-15, before upsetting eighthranked host Nebraska-Omaha 11-15, 8-15, 15-10, 15-11, 15-10.

"It was a bad loss for us against Minnesota-Duluth. They weren't a ranked team. we had the ability to beat them," Tamblin said.

Yet, the victory against Nebraska-Omaha was a big win for the team. Tamblin said. "It was great beating an eighth-ranked team,..

Tamblin said.

Individual players who continue to do well include junior middle hitter, Becky Kofoed, who set two new individual school records during MSC's loss to Portland State.

Kofoed broke her own mark of 16 blocks with 18. And broke Sandy Mohr's mark of 11 block assists with 12.

"Becky continues to play well, she did an excellent job over the weekend. I know she'll keep it up for the rest of the season," Tamblin said.

Annette Lavina The Metropolitan

The MSC women's volleyball team lost four of its five matches last weekend at the University of Nebraska-Omaha Classic. The team is 30-9 overall and 7-1 in the Continental Divide Conference.

The 13th-ranked Roadrunners lost Friday night (Oct. 27) to fifth-ranked Central Missouri State University; 11-15, 15-11, 9-15, 10-15, and third-ranked Portland State; 1513, 6-15, 12-15, 14-16.

"Missouri is a tough team, we played tough our first two matches, but they (Mo.) had the edge over us," Head Coach Joan Tamblin said.

Junior outside hitter. Chris Hines, also continues to play well Tamblin said. She is a great player who always has good matches, Tamblin added.

Overall, the team continues to play well.

Tamblin wasn't too upset with the team's defeat at the tournament. The defense continues to play well, and the offense is playing stronger Tamblin said.

"The teams that beat us in the tournament were all ranked higher than us, I was happy with the win against Nebraska, we will keep the same game plan that we have had in the past," Tamblin said.

Runners aiming high Scott Moore The Metropolitan

At the end of last season, there may not have been a better basketball team in Division II than the Metro State Roadrunners.

And, with nearly all of bis ammunition back to reload, Coach Bob Hull has bis sights set on a league title and playoff berth this season.

With an all-time best MSC record of20-8 and a second place finish in the Great Northwest Conference, Hull hopes this year's squad will use last year as a springboard to bigger things. It will also be the Roadrunners last year in the GNC, and the team would like to go out in style.

Heading the list ot returnees will be Gene Edwards, last year's leading scorer (18 ppg), and Shun Tillman. Tillman, a senior from George Washington High School, has a shot at many Metro career highs this season. The 6-foot 7-inch senior will be joined on the front line by Mike Paulson, a 6-foot 9-inch senior from Seattle. But there is more talent where that came from.

A starter. as a freshman. Derrick Fuller was forced out of the lineup by Edwards and sophomore Ralph Rivers. Fuller has since transferred to University of Denver, but bis absence won't affect the Roadrunner.

Rivers, who averaged 12.3 ppg last season, could thrive on this year's squad. The guardheavy Roadrunners also have sophomore T.J. Milan, who saw considerable action as a freshman before redshirting last year, and junior transfer student Adrian Hutt.

"We came across him while we were scouting another kid," Hull said of Hutt.

"But the more I watched him, the more impressed I became. Adrian was so good."

Hutt was recruited by many Division I schools, but would have had only one year of eligibility left; he will have two years at MSC. "You're gonna like this kid," Hull promised of the 5-foot 9-inch guard," he did a 360 slam dunk in practice."

The loss of Todd Javernick up front will be felt, but MSC will counter with sopho. more Larry Kent, senior Fred Brown and senior Lewis Rhone, to go with Tillman, Edwards and Paulson. The 6-foot 7-inch Brown will continue to be a backup, but could start for many other teams.

Two other players who figure prominently into this year's team are seniors Darrell Hite and Kirk Smith. Another - freshman Dan Kennedy from Holyoke - was going to be redshirted, but has been such a surprise that Hull may try and fit him in this year.

The season starts for the Roadrunners Nov. 22 against Fort Lewis. Their first home game will be Dec. 2 against Cameron University (Okla.). Also on slate will be another meeting with Illinois University, rated among the top 10 teams in Division I. "fm really excited for this season." Hull said. "Our goal is to go to the playoffs and win the conference. I don't know how many wins it will take, but it's our last year in the GNC and I know the kids want it." Next year MSC will be joining the Colorado Athletic Conference:.
