~Rash

of campus thefts leaves few clues

Sue Evans

The Metropolitan

The Auraria Higher Education Center can now lay claim to a crime wave of its very own. Auraria Public Safety Detective Bob Barela said that since Oct 14, more than 20 break-ins of campus buildings have been reported, with thefts of items ranging from ...,; money to answering machines to stereo headsets. The South, Central, West and North c~rooms have all been broken into, as well as the Physical Education and Science buil~ and the Student Union.

•

There have been no signs of forced enb_, in any of the incidents. "We are looking into all aspects," Barela said "Maybe people are leaving their doors unlocked and it's a crime of opportunity. I'm looking into the possibility that it's someone with a key." Metro Student Activities Director Yolanda Ericksen had locked her office before she left for the day on Jan. 4. But on the morning of Jan. 5, she found her office door standing open. There were also signs that someone had unsuccessfully tried to get into her office safe. "There were signs that they tried to pry open the safe," she said Nothing was taken from Eric.ksen's office.

In the offiees where the break-ins have been successful, however, money is the main target, and varying amounts have come up missing. "It ranges anywhere from a few dollars up to one (break-in) over a thousand dollars," Barela said. In an effort to stimulate campus awaren~ of the situation after the winter break, Public Safety has been posting signs around campus detailing the crimes and giving tips on how to avoid becoming a victim. Public Safety's suggestions include: • Lock your office, and never leave it unattended; • Keep personal belongings with you

at all times, or lock them in desks or filing cabinets; • do not leave valuables in offices overnight, as file cabinets and desks have been broken into at night; • keep your eyes open and if you see anything suspicious, call Public Safety at 556-2222.

Barela said the crime reports have been turned over to the Denver Police Department, who is also taking part in the investigation. As of press time, no one at Auraria Public Safety or the Denver Police Department would comment on whether there o were any significant leads in the case.

Stock Show virtual barnyard of fun getting an animal ready for a show. McHargue is a herd consultant, livestock appraiser and cattle fitter. For 33 years the Missouri farm girl has freelanced with East Coast and Midwest ranchers.

Teresa Lenway Features Editor

The 84th Annual National Western Stock Show beckons and multitudes answer its call. The throngs battle the traffic, fight for parking, wait in long lines and maneuver around protest lines to look at a bunch of cowboys and farm animals. You may be saying, "Is it really worth all that?" Good question. For some, it ends up being a Gee-it-sounded-like-a-good-idea-atthe-time activity, but look beyond the obvious and enjoyment abounds. Begin in the lower level of the Hall of Education - the cattle section. Everyone is pretty busy, but they like to meet the locals and take a break to chat ... unless you wander into the horse section where people aren't quite as busy but don't really want to talk to anyone but buyers. Look for Barb McHargue, a 51-year-old freelance "Critter Fitter." Fitting means

"I'm the career person. My husband stays home with our cows while I'm on the road," she said, "He knows I love it, so he puts up with it." McHargue works the show circuit from July through March, but does sales and appraising year-round.

"I love the travel and the friends," she said as she held an Angus bull's tail steady so her partner could bouffant the end, "I will do this as long as I'm physically able."

As you stroll down aisle after aisle of cattle, you can come to terms with your own mortality by whispering crass or derogatory comments into the ear of a bull who is easily IO times your size.

Angus bull at the Stock Show. You may notice Michigan State University signs hanging over a champion Hereford bull. Animal science graduate student David Walker may explain to you that this bull has sired more champions than any other in history. Just for kicks, get him to explain artificial insemination in detail from start to fertilization. Armed with this knowledge, approach Leroy Montoya, a Hartly Angus ranch hand from Chark Mountain, Texas. Open up the small talk with "Boy, I bet artificial insemination has taken all the fun out of being a champion bull." Montoya will grin and probably pat you on the behind. He started working cattle at age 15, 20 years ago, and has his own small ranch in New Mexico. "We're not big enough yet to have money coming in from outside. So I work in Texas and send the money home," he said. Montoya said he always looks forward to coming to Denver for the Stock Show, "It's a party, this is great!" Leave him with a crude joke and head toward the stadium. In the stadium you can see the livestock judging, it's also a good place to rest. Lining the corridor outside the arena is a plethora of booths. You can find snacks, literature, souvenirs and even that rattlesnake-skin belt you can't live without. The American Bison Association offers pamphlets with nutritional information and recipes for that Bison meat that's gone untouched in the back of your freezer. Swing by there and grab a IO percent discount

coupon for Mountain Man Steakhouse. It's supposed to be a pretty exotic place. Every horse breed association on earth has a booth in the area. A void them, unless, of course, you're a horse breeder. .The pamphlets are boring and they don't have any neat discount coupons. Some have videos showing their horses running around in a pasture. It's kind of pretty, but again rather dull. The Colorado Horse Rescue people have a booth and a lot of good stories. They're the people who found homes for the four surviving horses from the accident on I-70 in which 40 horses were killed. If you bought tickets to the rodeo, you might want to head over to the coliseum. Parts of the show may not be enjoyable for the tender-hearted, animal-lover types, but thrills, chills and certainly spills abound. If you find the calf-roping, steer-wrestling and general cowboying really disturbing, there's a protest against cruelty to rodeo animals right outside the coliseum. There is another group protesting cattle grazing on public lands, but the two groups are protesting together. If you didn't buy rodeo tickets, or just want something else to do, try going upstairs from the cattle. They shear sheep up there and have a huge wool display. There's also Children's Ranchland, a bunch of farm equipment, animal hides, food, hot tub demonstrations and so much more. The only drawback is that the crowds tend to be denser in this area. The Stock Show will continue through Jan. 21. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at the coliseum box office. o

Prof sees alternative to romance and sex

Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

'•

,..

Relationships men and women are seeking from each other today don't neceswily imply a sexual interest, according to a study conducted by UCD Communications Professor Michael Monsour. Monsour recently addressed colleagues at a Speech Communication ~ociation convention in San Francisco. He discussed the results of his paper entitled "Differential Expressions of Intimacy Among Cross-sex Friends, Same-sex Friends, and Romantic Partners: A Triangulated Exploration." Monsour's incentive for his research came from a platonic relationship he had with a woman while in college. "I became very good friends with this woman and, even though the relationship between us was non-sexual, both my family and her family assumed that we were destined for more. They didn't understand that we were just, in fact, good friends."

Ithink It's Just now starting to change, that It's more acceptable for men to show affection for each other and to be more emoilonal ... Monsour added that, in the past, society has viewed male/female friendships as potential romantic relationships. But in the last decade these ideas have begun to change. ''More and more, cross-sex relationships are more common because men and women receive things out of a cross-sex friendship that they can't get out of a same-sex friendship," Monsour said. The study involved observations of more than 200 male and female college students and their levels of intimacy and self-disclosure when interrelating to one another in same-sex relationships, and platonic and romantic cross-sex relationships. In the past, cross-sex relationships have not been closely examined and it was

THE

·~METROPOLITAN

Monsour's intent to promote the idea that these friendships are quite abundant among young adults and fullfill distinct needs for both men and women. Monsour found that the friendships women have with one another are more intimate than men's relationships with other men. Men are likely to disclose less and be less intimate in their same-sex relationships because of societal taboos regarding affection between men, although Monsour feels that these attitudes of male affection are changing. Rather than expressing affection toward one another, men experience intimacy through participation in activities together. "I think it's just now starting to change, that it's more acceptable for men to show affection for each other and to be more emotional now than they were able to before," Monsour said. Monsour also believes that platonic cross-sex relationships are growing. In interviewing men and women in cross-sex friendships, he found that, in many cases, both members of the friendship can gain insight and understanding of the opposite sex through their cross-sex friendships. Men may also be able to show emotion and express themselves and their feelings more openly with women than with male friends. Women found that sharing their feelings with men provided a more honest evaluation by their male friends and avoided possible conflict that might be experienced with a female friend Monsour concludes from his findings that the relationships that men and women are having now point toward a major change. He said he feels that studying these changing relationships now is important because the transition of the relationships is at its peak. He said he hopes to more fully understand these changes and possibly encourage the occurances. After concluding his two-year long study ofcross-sex relationships, professor Monsour plans to continue his study of interpersonal relationships and how they continue to D change rapidly.

Nontraditional students who work fulltime day jobs and attend Metro in the evenings are often forced to make a difficult decision. Because of the majority of requi~ed courses that are only offered during the day, at some time in their college careers these students will have to choose between their full-time jobs and finishing their degrees. For the first two years, lower division courses are commonly offered in the even· ings, but once a student gets beyond the electives and general studies requirements, the choices are fewer and fewer. According to James Perdue, acting vice president of academic affairs, lower division courses are commonly offered in the evenings to accommodate freshmen who may work full-time during the day. "It's not that we're insensitive to the need for night courses, it's just a very complicated issue," Perdue said. Metro increased the offering of evening courses during the fall '89 semester by about 13 percent, but out of the 637 evening courses offered, 89 classes had to be cancelled due to low enrollment, said Celestino Mendez, administrative intern for Academic Affairs. "Part of the problem is that people who work full-time in the day are tired," Perdue said. "Courses offered much beyond 7:30 p.m. just don't fill," In addition, female enrollment in night courses is down because women don't like to be on campus after dark, Perdue said. Some students have recommended that more evening classes be offered at Metro South in Greenwood Village. This, students

contend, would solve the problems of parking downtown and women's safety. But, according to Perdue, Metro is limited in the number of courses it can offer at Metro South because of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education ruling that says state funding can only be granted to courses offered on Auraria's campus. Metro is, however, making an attempt to improve night course offerings, Perdue said. At a recent faculty meeting, Metro President Thomas Brewer said he wants more fulltime faculty to teach evening courses which are normally staffed by part-time teachers. The schools of Business and Professional Studies receive priority for evening course offerings, said Larry Johnson, dean of the School of Letters, Arts & Sciences. "We're trying to offer night courses in the disciplines with more majors, where it would make sense to do so," Johnson said "Because we (Letters, Arts and Sciences) aren't funded at the same level. as the Business and Professional Studies schools, we can't run courses in every department in the evenings and still maintain any level of cost effectiveness." The English department is an example of one discipline where enrollment is high enough to warrant a full offering of evening courses, Johnson said. "We have submitted a two-year course rotation to the administration that would allow English majors to earn a degree at night during a period of five years," said English Chairman Charles Allbee. "If it is approved, the rotation would start in Autumn of 1990." Other disciplines where enrollment may warrant more evening courses include psychology and mathematics, Johnson said.D

"When you're working with children, you need to know how to deal with parents," she said.

Robert Brown The Metropolitan

Parent education isn't just for parents. Anyone who works with small children can also benefit, said Director of Metro's Child Development Center, Marjorie Petersen. . The Child Development Center is the preschool laboratory setting for teacher education program. "If you're working with children, you're also working with parents," Petersen said. Knowing how to deal with parents is important, she said, "especially with the increased complexity of families today." Petersen said that a minor in parent education, housed in the education department, can help students learn to deal more effectively with parents. "There is an increasing need for people to be rloing parent education," she said. ''There was not a specific training for it so this minor was created." James Bahan, an MSC psychology professor, designed the interdisciplinary minor in 1981. At that time, it was the only program of its kind in the country, and it is joined by only a handful more today, Petersen said The minor is most useful as a compliment to careers such as teaching, psychology, social .work, law enforcement and nursing, in which both children and parents are dealt with.

Editor, I am responding to the December 1, 1989, Child Care Still Campus Concern article written by Diana M. Cordova. This letter is to inform you of another child care facility at Auraria. The Community College of Denver has an excellent child care center. My daughter was enrolled there in the fall, and I plan to enroll her during

the spring semester. I am exceptionally p leased with the child care that my daughter receives. The hours of operation of the Child Development Center at the Community College of Denver are 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the academic year. Stop by for a visit.

Apathy needs recycling Editor, As a student (and senior citizen) attending Metro, I am concerned with the apparent lack of interest in recycling exhibited by Metro and the AHEC management. I don't know the volume of soft drink sales on campus but, considering the numbers of vending machines in the various lounges and at the Student Center, it must be considerable. Aluminum recycling should be very simple, requiring that each lounge be

equipped with a seperate trash container for discarded aluminum soft drink cans. Beyond that. the cost of collecting and selling the cans should be at least selfsustaining, if not profitable. When one considers the importance placed upon recycl ing in our society, I am surprised and d isappointed that Metro and AHEC aren't participating and actively promoting it at the collegiate level.

Discount tuition for seniors Editor, In a recent issue you carried a story regarding the Metro Meritus program for senior citizens, under which people over 60 can take classes tuition-free for no credit. As a senior citizen, I think the program is great as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. What about those senior citizens who, like myself, have decided that they want to further their education and get a degree? Obviously, we want credit for our classes and we are charged full tuition. True, your article stated that "financial aid is available for people wanting credit" but, when I investigated this through the financial aid office, I was told that it was necessary to fill out the applications for student loans and go through the process that "ordinary" students follow. It really doesn't seem to make good sense for someone in their 60s to apply for a student loan because such loans are repayable after the person

graduates from college and it would seem logical for loan institutions to refuse to grant such long-term loans to someone of an advanced age who might not live long enough to repay it. Wouldn 't it make more sense to give senior citizens a general, across-the-board reduction in tuition? When we go to movies, some restaurants, or some stores we are given a reduced rate of admission. Why can't the state do this for us in order for us to further our education? I'm sure there aren't so many of us over-60 students seeking degrees that it would bankrupt the school or the state of Colorado to give us a general reduced tuition rate - say 50 or 75 percent of the tuition that younger students pay - and it would really help our budgets. We have paid taxes for a good many years. Isn't it time we reaped some benefits from them?

EDITORIAL

Funding priorities need rethinking Have you ever wondered , as you sign your check at the tuition window, where those student fees go? Have you ever been even the least little bit curious about it? For the last few months, The Metropolitan has had a bit of a funding problem. We needed, at one point, an additional $27,000 to meet payroll for our staff of 18 students and keep putting out papers for the rest of this year. Since we made our request to the Student Affairs Board, the body that allocates student fees to about 20 clubs and organizations including The Met, we have made substantial staff cuts. Our shortfall has been reduced to somewhere between $7,000-$15,000. Needless to say, the board wasn't thrilled with our request for additional money. But it did come as a bit of a surprise to me when I was told that they weren't sure MSC students wanted the kind of paper we were giving them. Do the students want a paper with as many pages as ours, they asked? After all, the SAB is there to respond to the students' needs. I was then told that The Metropolitan needed to undergo an evaluation to determine whether we are using our funding to the student body's best advantage. We are in the middle of that evaluation right now. All of this begs a question: what other programs does the Student Affairs Board fund , and how responsive are they to the students' needs and wants? The biggest recipient of SAB funding is the MSC Health Clinic, which received $302,845 for fiscal year 1989-90. Of this, $56, 128 was to beset aside pending an audit. The second biggest was MSC Student Activities, which received $156,845. Student Activities sponsors

events such as the recent appearance by former astronaut Scott Carpenter, as well as hiring bands to play in the Mission and working with student clubs and organizations. The third biggest was Campus Recreation. It received $115,845. Campus Rec sponsors events like the 9th Street tricycle races, hiking trips in the mountains and campus intramurals. And The Metropolitan was fourth with a budget of $101,665. Following The Met in the funding order are 14 other programs, none of which received amounts that seem the least bit suspicious. Except maybe one. MSC Student Government received $50,250, and we all know what they have been able to accomplish this year. It may be interesting to note in passing that of the 11 people on the Student Affairs Board, 6 are members of student government. It would seem fair, then, to evaluate these other programs using the same student-benefit criteria. A lot of people use the Health Clinic, and its importance as a source of information about AIDS and other health issues can hardly be disputed. Student Activities, however, is another story. When was the last time you were at an event they sponsored? By and large, and with the notable exception of bands in The Mission, attendance at Student Activitiessponsored events can only be described as dismal. Blame it on campus apathy if you will. But in a case like this, doesn't even ap~thy send a signal?

How about Campus Recreation? It's the same story here. Campus participation in these events isn't exactly earth-shattering either. How about this: each student pays an athletic fee every semester. It's $13, and if you tell the person in the tuition window you don't want to pay it because you never go to any of the games, you'll just get laughed at. That comes to $426,000 for fiscal year 1989-90, assuming MSC Intercollegiate Athletics can stay in the black. They haven't been able to for the last four years, and last year the State of Colorado got to cover Intercollegiate Athletics' losses to the tune of nearly $100,000. MSC's athletic progra"i1 fares better that these others in terms of attendance, but does that justify the drain it represents on Metro's resources? So what conclusions can we draw from all of this? About 13,000 people read this paper every week. Based on what we know about the student body's reaction (or lack of one) to all of these other programs, it does seem fair to say that more students benefit from the money spent on the newspaper than from the money spent on the others. In fact, you might even call it a bargain. But don't tell the Student Affairs Board that. . You might also think about this: when Student Activities wants to advertise a speaker or band they're bringing to campus, or Campus Recreation wants to get people to participate in the tricycle races, or the Health Clinic wants to spread information about A IDS, where do they go? You guessed it. - Dave Plank

legitimate." Peterson points to consecutive years of record zoo attendance and membership since his arrival in defense of his selection. He emphasizes, however, that the Denver Zoo's aggressive marketing approach, some- · thing fairly new for zoological institutions throughout the country, has been largely responsible for the success.

Michael Shannon The Metropolitan

Most people's jobs are a little crazy at times, but MSC junior, Tom Peterson's is a zoo. Thirty-year-old Peterson, you see, is the marketing officer for the Denver Zoo. . "Cha~el 9 calls and they're on their way out. When they get here, they need to talk with somebcxly, I'm it," Peterson said, "I'm the official spokesman." Peterson was the first to be hired in the position when it was created two-and-a-half years ago. Employed then by the zoo's advertising agency, he helped write several of its broadcast and print ads. Peterson had known the zoo's director, Oayton Freiheit, for several years and, as a result, was able to get a strong recommendation for the job. He rankles, however, at the suggestion that he got in the easy way. "I didn't back in (to the position). A lot of people thought I did," Peterson said, "It was

"Clayton (Freiheit) is one of the more progressive (zoo) directors, anyway. · He's. been a businessman for a long time, but be understands marketing, he understands the nature and advantages of it," he said. Besides handling media inquiries, Peterson'~ busy schedule includes writing press releases, handling zoo promotions and membership drives and coordinating special events. Peterson is also responsible for maintaining a positive image for the zoo, a task he admits is sometimes challenging. "Fortunately, the Zoo is very well managed," he said, "It has a very good awareness and acceptibility." Occasionally, spur-of-the moment occurences, such as the recent death of the zoo's only African elephant, catch him unprepared. "It's just scatter and do the best you can," Peterson said. "Part of being good at public relations is not just reactionary and not just general marketing 'come-out-and-see-us,' you've got to be aware of all the potential negatives within your institution or organization, and how are you going to deal with it when something comes up," he said.

Tom Paterson "Zoos bad enjoyed heavy government support until the late '70s and early '80s nationwide. They didn't need to market because they bad money," Peterson said. "As we've lost on our governmental fundings, all zoos, as an industry, have had to market themselves to make up for the Joss of dollars," Peterson said.

Peterson has brought a wide~ranging background to his job, having attended two colleges (Stanford and CU-Denver) prior to Metro, studying subjects from political science to music performance. But the key to his success, he said, is simple - hard work. "That's one thing the professors always want me to tell the students (in speaking engagements) is that 'No, I don't have a degree,' " Peterson said. "You're not guaranteed because you have one, nor should you allow the fact that you don't keep you from going anywhere." o

Metro student Judith Pacheco doesn't need role models - she is one. She is determined to better her life and to make a niche for her and her family. Pacheco goes about the business of life with an ease that belies a harsh past and a demanding present. The energy and enthusiasm that spark from her dark eyes defy a schedule of early mornings and late nights. She looks younger than her 29 years and her smile and outgoing nature win her instant friends. Pacheco is taking 12 credit hours, seeking a degree in bilingual education. She works 30 hours a week and is a single mother of three, the oldest of whom is 10. Pacheco said she lives with a purpose. She doesn't want her children to experience what she did - the cold, hungry nights the entire family spent shivering under one cover; having to wear clothes long after they had been outgrown and could no longer keep out the cold of Colorado winters. She is used to hard work, Pacheco said. She spent her youth in the fields with her parents, who were migrant farm workers. They came from Mexico with the immigrant's dream of a better life. "I remember how hard it was," Pacheco said of the transition from Mexico to the United States. Her father bad gone ahead to

secure a job. The family stayed behind, waiting for word. While they waited, Pacheco's mother was hospitalized with birth complications. That left 6-year-old Pacheco, the oldest, to fend for her five brothers and sisters. "I was so scared, but I had to pretend I was strong," she said as she recalled her fear while leading her brothers and sisters to her aunt's house through streets filled with prostitutes and malefactors. Her tenacity, even at 6 years old, is a thread that weaves through her life. At first, life in the United States wasn't much better than life in Mexico. The nine-member family moved through Colorado and Texas with the cycle of the crops. Both parents worked, and Pacheco was left to care for the children. She would change diapers, stop fights and cook meals, she said, showing a faded burn mark on her neck where hot grease had splattered on her as she stood on a chair over the stove. "I had to be an adult at 7 years old," Pacheco said_ Perhaps that responsibility at such a young age has helped Pacheco cope with tough problems as an adult. Despite the hard work, she said, there . were many good things about life then_ The time the family did have together, they spent wisely. see Pachtca pg. 17

Edwards continued his pace scoring 20 points in a win at Colorado School of Mines and then 32 in a home win over Kearney State, earning the Great Northwest Conference Player of the Week Award for the second week in a row. "I have been getting the ball more," said Edwards, who has led his team in scoring 10 games. "Teams are making me work harder to get the ball. But once I get it I can make them work hard to stop me." Edwards came to Metro after attending Trinidad Junior College and~ (Texas) Junior College. Edwards, a top prospect, is hitting 48 of 90 shots. The last four games, Edwards has connected on 20 of 31 threepoint shots. "I have always been a shooter," said Edwards. "Every time I shoot the ball I feel like it is going in."

The Metropolitan State College men's basketball team is off to its finest start ever and one of the big reasons is the play of Gene Edwards. Edwards, a 6-foot 2-inch senior guard from Colorado Sprin~' W~n High School, has been on a tear oflate in leading his team to a 14-1 record and a second place national ranking among NCAA Division II teams. The Roadrunners lone loss of the season was to the University of Illinois, the seventh ranked team in Division I, and have since -~ won 10 games in a row. Two weeks ago, Edwards poured it on for 38 points in a win at New Mexico Highlands, including 30 points in the second half. The next night, Edwards followed it up with 34 points in a victory over Eastern New • Mexico. Those two games earned Edwards the Sports IDustrated Small College Player of the Week Award Edwards was also honored by Basketball Gazette and the Great Northwest Conference as its player of the week.

Edwards and his teammates are on a mission to make the NCAA Division II tournament after being overlooked last year despite winning 20 games, including 10 of its last 11. The key stretch of the Roadrunners' season starts this week with the beginning of Great Northwest Conference League play. Metro State is on the road for the first two games at Seattle Pacific University on Thursday and California State-Sacramento Saturday. The Roadrunners like their chances to win their first-ever conference championship. "We feel like we are the team to beat," said Edwards, "not only in this conference, . but I feel we are the team to beat in the country." Metro State's next game in Denver will be on Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. against Denver University at Regis College. o

Pacheco -

A smile spread over Pacheco's face as she remembered weekend outings to the mountains. They didn't have a lot of money, she said, but they had a lot of fun. The family's lack of money meant that school became secondary to work, Pacheco said As soon as they were old enough, the children would go to work in the fields. In the winter they would often go on trips, forgetting school altogether. The trips were something they all looked forward to, she said. Her father would reward them for working hard, and they each would get some of the money they earned. The ones who worked the hardest would get more, she said She remembered other things, smiling as bittersweet memories flooded back. "We'd go to Safeway and King Soopers and say, 'Hey these (bunched vegetables) are ours,' " she said, explaining that they recognized the type of rubber band they used in the back-breaking day's work of picking and bunching everything from parsley to mustard greens. Pacheco told of her parents' strictness when it came to letting her go out or have some time to herself. It was their inability to bend that finally drove her from home when she was 18 and into a marriage she now regrets. "I married my husband for all the wrong reasons," she said, adding that they had different goals in life even then. Pacheco said she wanted to make something of herself. He was happy with the way his life was, living from paycheck to paycheck. - Though she regrets the marriage, she does not regret her three children. They are her anchors, she said. ? "I want my kids to look up t~ me," Pacheco said. "I want them to have a better opportunity (than I did).' That desire has brought Pacheco a long way from her life at 18. She had dropped out of the I 0th grade to work full-time when her mother was injured at the meat packing plant where she worked. Though she wanted to stay in school, Pacheco said, her father "suggested" that she work. Pacheco was determined to get her education despite her parents' lack'. of support. She took a day job and attended night classe5 at Emily Griffith Opportunity School in Denver to get her G.E.D. Shortly after she received her G.E.D., she went to work for the Bueno Center as a secretary for the Family English Literacy Program.

That was Pacheco's turning point. Through the encouragement of her boss at the Bueno Center and of Charles Mena, an associate professor at MSC, Pacheco enrolled in the bilingual education program at Metro. "I've changed so much since I started coming to school," she said. "I'm more open-minded, more able to communicate." When Pacheco talks of education and her goal to become a teacher, determination bums in her eyes. "I want to be an example to bilingual students," she says, adding that she doesn't want them to be forced to live their lives with little choice. She combines her academfo experience with herjob as Amnesty Program coordinator for the House of Neighborly Service in Bright_on.

Judith Pachei:o The program helps immigrants applying for U.S. residency or citizenship prepare for the test given by Immigration and Naturalization Service. This includes teaching "survival" English, civics and U.S. history. It is a job she said she feels strongly about. "What I really like about it is that I'm working with people that really need help," she said. "I like it because I'm helping my people." Pacheco said she tries to give everyone who comes through her program a feeling of self-worth and pride. It took her a long time to find her own self-worth, she said She tries to convince her students to continue their education, and she smiles when she speaks of someone who has responded to her encouragement. She is proud that her three sisters are following in her footsteps and finishing their education, proud of the work she does to help people. She is most proud that her children aspire to the educational goals she values so much. "My son told me, 'Mom, someday I'm gomg to go to college, too'," she said, smiling. "I was so proud. I'm doing this for my children." D

really be interested in. It's a terrific play about one black family's struggles before the civil rights movement. Worth seeing.

Hungry for a little iambic pentameter? Dying to hear the words of the immortal bard performed live on stage? Me neither. But you might want to at least think about checking out the Denver Center Theatre Company's production of Shakespeare's "Henry IV", which starts a limited run on Jan. 17. Do it because you appreciate theater. Do it because saying you went will impress your friends. Do it because if the DCTC doesn't think enough Metro students are going to their plays, they'll stop sending me free passes and dates will start costing me money.

Something called "Ethereal Light As Art" is going on at the Foothills Art Center in Golden through Feb. 17. Evidently, these sculptors take light, see, and they bounce it

In a completely different vein is our spectacular artistic happening, "Frontier America." This is a collection from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyo., which will include pmooi.1 artifacts of the late great "Buffalo Bill" Cody

Also, August Wilson's "F~' will be at the OCT~~ Ja 2•. This. you might

So, if this sounds more like your style than "fluid sculptural forms," call the Denver Art Museum at 575-2794. The exhibit runs through April 1. Two one-act plays that examine "artistic angst" will run at Jack's Theater startjng January 26. "Wormwood" and "Eve of the Beholder" focus on artists, and the trials and tribulations they endure trying to figure out what "art" means and how it relates to everytbina else in the universe.
