Auraria and the Tivoli may have just beaten the city of Denver at its own game.

For months, Denver Police traffic officers have enjoyed a field day at the intersection of Speer Boulevard and the Auraria Parkway, ticketing students and Tivoli patrons with reckless abandon. Since the city redesigned the intersection last summer, left turns from northbound Speer onto the parkway have been prohibited; students have been getting tickets for making the same turn they have been for years.

After a storm of complaints, however, a change in the intersection is anticipated.

When the intersection was reconfigured, a "jug-handle" was included to facilitate the left turn. Drivers must first pass the parkway on Speer, then turn right at Wazee Street. A "jug-handle" branching off of Wazee then doubles back and puts them on the parkway.

Although these intersections are common in the east, Denver motorists had never seen anything like it Turning left in the conventional manner, they presented easy targets for Denver Police eager to fill their unofficial ticket quotas.

Another side effect of the intersection's complexity was a significant shop in holiday sales at the Tivoli. Gloria Curtis, manager of Zebra Imports in the mall, said the decreased sales were a mystery to her until shoppers who did figure out the tum started complaining.

"We need to increase our busines.5 and grow, which is what we were doing," she said. "We lost our increase for that holiday and also saw that January (1990) was down 17 percent (compared with the previous January)."

"I'm surprised that the fire department didn't complain about it," said David DeHart of the Cat House gift shop, also in the Tivoli. Denver Fire Station 6 is at the comer of Speer Boulevard and the parkway, and would seem to be trapped by the intersection.

Do the firefighters at the station see any real problems with the intersection? ''Not really," said Lieutenant Steve Maddock, a shift commander at the station. "Not as much as we thought it would. Rush hour is a little bit sticky, though."

But even if the fire department is happy with the situation, nobody else seems to be.

Amy Lingg, communications director for the Denver Department of Public Works, says the intersection is likely to be changed.

"It happens with all projects," she said The turn will probably be changed back to the traditional left-hander, and the Denver Police will have to find a new place to lie in wait for unwary motorists. The change comes too late for some students, though.

"I was going to lunch with my mom during the Christmas break, and I got a $37 ticket with three points, " said MSC Student Mary Uhl. "I just made a left where I wasn't o supposed to."

Citizen activist Ralph Nader says citizen involvement starts between one's ears and ends up in global unification.

Nader's visit to Auraria Campus to speak on "Student Activism in the '90s," lured more than 300 people to St. Cajetan's Thursday, Feb. 22.

"Citizen involvement is a form of human happiness," he said.

Nader stresed that if people don't start incorporating individual judgement and responsibility to the community, then there will be more abuses, more deterioration and injustices in society.

"A lot of forces are bearing down on people telling them they can't make a diffrence," Nader saidAnd every major social movement started with a handful of people, according to Nader. Nader, 56, helped spark the consumer awareness movement two decades ago.

He criticized the audience by saying how introverted everyone is

with themselves and their families.

"People don't want to grow up to be leaders here. But in Santiago, Chili, 95 percent would raise their hand to be leaders. Here, only 5 percent. It's a paradox of democracy. When you don't have it you're willing to die for it," he said.

Nader pointed out that :he importance of going to school is to learn how to get involved.

"If you're coming to school to learn a trade, then don't come to a college or university. If you're coming to learn about democracy, then go to a college or university," he said.

He asked the audience how they liked their cafeteria foods.

He told them that if they wanted better foods, then they should take command and ask how to incorporate quality foods.

Nader emphasized that everyone is under corporate control, and said that control begins at kindergarten. "(TV) makes them (children) on-lookers ... look at what they've been exposed to ... Tony the Tiger as their role model. They (corpora-

tions) have got us coming and going. We're all Pavlovian specimens," he said.

Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who was known for his experimentation in conditioned response.

Nader criticized cosmetics advertisers for setting modern standards of beauty.

"Vogue determines who's beautiful for us, and people struggle all their lives to achieve that level of beauty and never make it," he said.

The cosmetics industry is a $32 billion per year industry, Nader said.

He claimed the advertisers know us better than any psychologist ever could.

'They know how insecure kids are who will smear their faces, their hair and every conceivable part of their bodies with products to feel good about themselves," he said.

Pretty soon they'll have a male lipstick called 'Male Glisten,' " he mocked.

Nader reiterated the importance of bow to get involved in the community.

He said students should have a sense of legacy throughout their lives.

But some students thought Nader wat "preaching to the choir" and calling the audience members "mindles.5 droids."

One student verbally attacked Nader for his "corporate bashing" and his unfair accusations to the audience for being lazy citizens.

Twenty-seven-year-old MSC student, Erik Fransen, demanded that Nader and Colorado Public Research Group explain the controversial negative check-off box during registration.

CoPIRG won an electoral ballot to receive $3 from each student at registration. If the student doesn't choose to have the fee assessed, then that student may check off a box to say "No, I don't want this fee added to my tuition."

"I got mad because he wouldn't

Citizen activist Ralph Nader

let me talk. It was an unfair match to begin with (Nader at the microphone)," F'ransen later said.

Nader sarcastically asked if Fransen, who was wearing fatigues, believed in democracy.

"As a veteran, I was really incensed by that ... it really upset me," he said.

Michael Jones, a 27-year-old marketing major at MSC said Nader " mouthed off a lot of half-truths and innuendos to make his point."

One of those half-truths, Jones said, was that advertisers had deeper motives in their advertising than just making money.

'There is no subversive motive

in advertising. That is what its for ... to sell products," Jones said.

Jones defended advertising companies using beautiful people because "attractive women and men sell products."

On the other side, CoPIRG board member, Barb Ferrill, thought Nader's speech was "extremely inspiring."

She said Nader gave a broad spectrum of how people can work on themselves for their community.

"It was especially exciting to hear him speak. I liked how he said our society is becoming more introverted ... I like his 'let's fight, let's do it' attitude," Ferrill saidJones said that Nader didn't make any new points throughout his speech.

"He mentioned how many poor people there are now ... Isn't that because there are more people? Ifl can pick apart his speech, then how effective can he be when he's talking to politicians or doctorsT' Jones said.

Nader's lecture was sponsored

by CoPIRG, CU Events Board, MSC Student Activities and ASMSC. Nader graduated from Princeton and received a law degree from Harvard.

Nader wrote "Unsafe at Any Speed' and "Action for a o Change."

Metro's new name official Mary Anderson News Editor

It is now official. Metro will have a new name starting July l , 1990. The Colorado .State Senate passed House Bill 1167, the legislation mandating that "of Denver" be added to Metropolitan State College's name, in a unanimous vote Monday, Feb. 26, on its third reading.

The third reading is the final vote.

"We are very pleased the Senate Education Comll\ittee and the

whole senate passed it unanimously.

We hope the governor will not have any problems with it and will sign it as soon as convenient," said Metro President Thomas Brewer.

The House of Representatives had passed the bill 52-12 on Jan. 29.

The only debate that arose in the Capitol occurred when student Sen. Gerri Madrid spoke «gainst the bill in the House Education Committee. She argued that changing Metro's name would not only not help Metro's a-edibility, but might also hurt it.

But Brewer, Student Government

President Kelly Martin and faculty and alumni representatives all argued that the name change would enhance the institution's credibility on the national level by letting Metro's location be known.

Madrid did not testify at the Senate Education Committee because she said it would be a moot P<>int to continue the fight.

Brewer spent last fall gathering support for the name change from faculty, alumni and students. The student senate had reversed its initial approval of the name clwlge after realizing they bad not solicited students'opinio~

Panel gives tips on media careers M.K. Wagner The Metropolitan

In a period when the economy is at a low and the job market is sluggish, four media personalities say that there are plenty ofjobs and careers available in their field.

"Careers in the Media and Public Relations," a Feb. 19 panel discussion, provided information on the appropriate skills and education needed for interested students to get their feet in the media door.

Larry Crandall, manager of operations for Newsradio 85 KOA, Sherman Hamilton, president of Hamilton & Associates Advertising Inc., Beverly Martinez, public affairs manager, at KWGN Channel 2 Television, and Dusty Saunders, broadcasting critic for "The Rocky Moumain News," sat on the panel.

An enthusiastic audience of approximately l 00 managed to hold back questions until the question and answer period. They then crowded around the four speakers when the program ended.

All four panel members said that internship programs are one of the best ways for students to find a way into the media field.

However, students have to go out into their fields of interest and let companies know that they are available.

"An internship is a way to show off your skills. It's an opportunity for you to get that first job; it's a bridge between the academic and the professional," said Larry Crandall, manager of operations for KOA. He added that the best time to get an internship with his station is in the fall.

Crandall, who has worked in Denver radio since 1972, remarked that students have to be in charge of their lives. "You have to write the script," he said.

"You have to really want to be in this business to succeed. I sent out 50 resumes when I graduated (from college) and only received two responses," he said.

Sherman Hamilton was in the first fouryear class of MSC graduates. He is alarmed at the difficulty he has experienced in attracting students into internships for his firm and as students' lack of understanding of the available job market.

"We had to come here (Auraria Campus) and look for you. I had to go to Tom Cook (professor in the speech department) and say, 'find me some kids,'" Hamilton said.

"I am constantly amazed when people

·~

-

come to talk with me about jobs and job possibilities. There seems to be someone on this campus telling people that there are no jobs (in the media and public relations fields)." Hamilton said he consistently hires students from this campus.

Hamilton started his advertising agency in 1983 without any experience in the field.

The agency at, what he considers, the worst possible time and, although all his friends warned him that the firm would never succeed, it has grown and opened opportunities for others.

After 12 years as host of the live talk show "Denver Now" and several years on "Eyewitness for News," Beverly Martinez moved into management.

"I'm often asked whether I miss being on the air and my answer is, 'Well, for about 20 minutes,' "Martinez said. She confessed that television is one of the hardest media fields to get into and stated that there are women at Channel 2 who have master's degrees in communications that are "hitting typewriter keys."

If a student is consumed with a strong desire to be in the television business, Martinez, encourages it. She also said that the internship program could help, but that

sometimes the student does filing instead of work in their desired field.

While working at Channel 2, Martinez learned that, although there is power in being on the air, there is even bigger power being in management. Sales and programming are two other areas in television that pay well Martinez said.

Dusty Saunders has been with "The Rocky Mountain News" for 30 years and received his journalism degree from CUBoulder.

"When I started (with the "News") as a copy boy, I made all of $38.50 a week which doesn't sound like much now and it didn't sound Like much then either," Saunders said.

Financial success should not be an overriding item to be concerned with if reporting is the chosen field; reporters don't make that much money, Saunders said.

"I don't care how much money you are going to make, if you don't get into a career you enjoy, you'll be miserably unhappy."

Saunders encouraged students to try internships and said that "News" bas been very happy with the interns they have had.

How do you get the first job after graduation if employers are looking for a track record?

The panel unanimously agreed that if an employer is pleased with an intern's performance, the student has a good chance of being hired as a full-time employee.

"Be at the right place at the right time," said Larry Crandall. He also suggested that, although students may be interested in other areas of media, they should consider radio.

There are a lot more radio stations than television stations and it might be a nice alternative for a person to express themselves creatively," Crandall said.

Saunders agreed that, when looking for a job, being flexible is important. He stated that having a well-rounded education is valuable when looking for employment.

Saunders also said that a key to entering the media is liking people and having a curiousity about what makes the world go 'round.

Martinez said she got her break because she "knew someone who knew someone."

Hamilton said that when he and Martinez went into this business (1971), there was a push to hire hispanics, blacks and women.

Martinez acknowledged that those days are gone, and now experience and education are more important than race and gender.

Panel members said that the prospects are good. With education and a strong desire to succeed, careers in the media and public o relations look promising.

New system may speed up MSC Financial Aid Joel Kleg Special to The Met

If a new check mailing system is implemented, students will no longer have to wait in long financial aid lines.

Under a joint proposal by the Financial Aid and Busines.5 offices, financial aid checks might be sent directly to students.

• The proposal was discussed at a meeting Friday, Feb. 9, between Cheryl Judson, director of Financial Aid, and Bob Rizzuto, . associate vice president for Business Affairs.

Both expressed optimism that the new system would work. ~ The new system will reduce the number of students waiting in line by 80 percent, Judson said.

A major concern is that some students will not receive their financial aid checks because mailing lists are not updated. ~ But Rizzuto said that less than 3 percent of the checks mailed last winter were returned to the college.

"If students know they are going to get their checks in the mail, they will make sure we have the correct address," Judson said.

• To obtain the most accurate mailing list, Judson and Rizzuto decided to use the joint database of the Financial Aid and Admissions and Records offices.

In further attempts to make the financial aid process more efficient, the Colorado Student Loan Program is automating Metro's Guaranteed Student Loan system.

The automated system will allow wire transfers and applications to be processed overnight by computer.

However, Judson said there is no regulation preventing mailing financial aid checks.

The Student Affairs Board members could not agree at their meeting Monday, Feb. 26, as to how the Intercollegiate Athletic fee referendum should be worded. But the members decided after the meeting to pro~ the following ballot questions to the student senate (the issue must have senate ratification by noon on March 12 if it is to reach the voters in the April elections): I. SHALL THE METROPOLITAN STATE COLLEGE INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC PROGRAM CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED BY A SEPARATELY DESIGNATED ATHLETIC FEE? -YES -NO 2. INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC FUNDING SHOULD BE: Choose ONE of the following: - A. maintained at $13 per student, per semester with a $1 annual increase (beginning Fall 1991) until such time as another referendum is held.

11-

r

There is concern that the new systems may not work as efficiently as expected.

A few years ago, the University of Colorado tried a similar program, but the system became scrambled. The program was scrapped after 2 weeks.

Rizzuto said that regulations may prohibit the mailing of financial aid checks.

Even if the new systems are successful, there may continue to be problems with the financial aid process.

According to Sita Thomas, director of cashiers, problems have arisen between the Business and Financial Aid offices.

Mark will receive a $50 gift certificate to Meininger's.

Furthermore, nine financial aid checks were recently stolen, resulting in at least one student being temporarily disenrolled from clas.5e5. The case is currently under investigation.

"If we can get this to work, I will finally be able to sit in my office and hammock," Judson said. o

B. increased from $13 to $20 per student, per semester with a $1 annual increase (beginning Fall 1991) until such time as another referendum is held.

- C. decreased from the current $13 per student, per semester fee to (an amount to be determined by the Student Affairs Board in concert with Administration) and thereafter increased by $1 annually (beginning Fall 1991) until such time as another referendum is held.

Board members were concerned that inaction on their part in regards to this issue could result in the dissolution of the SAB itself, said SAB members Angie Binder and David Lloyd Beal.

Both Beal and Binder are senators on the ASMSC Financial Affairs Committee and are running-mates for the student senate presidency and vice-presidency respectively.

Dan Becker, SAB staff assistant, urged the board to not deliberate too long on one issue because the effect could contribute to the

"No, after everything I read in The Metropolitan, sounds like all they do is a bunch of bickering and they never can agree on anything."

"I really haven't seen them do anything."

"Well, I don't think so, because I don't see anything coming out of it. And I know when our BSA asked for money they gave us a Jot of trouble. I think it needs to get more organized."

..

Derek Covington "I really don't know too much about Metro's student government, but I see a lot of things happening around this school helping out the students."

Norman Provizer, political science prof~r "I think student government ... in general ... often seems to be in charge of very little, kind of the famous dog chasing its tail.

At the same time I think it does provide an opportunity for students to try to be involved and participate in decisions, in choices that affect them as well as others like them. And I think that's a worthwhile experience, and it sometimes is worth all the frustration and anger that you have to put up with that goes with it."

Erin Erker "Most definitely, yes. I'm involved in CoPIRG, and they're trying to get rid of us, but I still think that any student activism is great. You're not a student if you're not involved, you know that way you can make changes and if you don't like the way something is run, at least you can be part of changing it."

Is Auraria campus being targeted for the Bush administration war on drugs or are ~ students having flashbacks from the Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" campaign.

Auraria Public Safety Sergeant Elmer Daugherty said there is not a significant substance abuse problem on the Auraria Campus. The Auraria Public Safety records _. show only one drug-related arrest on campus in the last two years ( 1988, possession of cocaine).

"It doesn't happen as much as people think," Daugherty said. "Students are generally not here for recreation; they are serious .._ students."

Daugherty said that if there is a serious substance abuse problem on campus, it is not evident to Public Safety.

If you are aware of substance use or a transaction that looks suspicious, Auraria Public Safety (556-3271) asks that you call 't. them immediately, give them the information and let them investigate the situation.

Daugherty said that if there were a need for an investigation, it would be conducted

by Auraria Public Safety. If assistance was needed, the APS could depend on the â&#x20AC;˘ Denver Police Department, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, or other appropriate agencies.

'We are so visible, if anyone has gone to school here for four years, they know who we are.'

'

,.

"We are so visible, if anyone has gone to school here for four years, they know who we are," commented Daugherty. He explained that the Denver Police Narcotics Department may supply undercover police to the campus community at APS's request.

Ron Veatch, director of the Auraria Student Health Clinic and the MSC Counseling Center, said that 15 to 20 percent of people coming through these facilities have a substance abuse problem. The MSC Counseling Center identifies the problem and then refers them to institutions to handle the situation.

There is a wide range of penalties for possession of illegal substances and it is continually changing.

If convicted of possession or sale of controlled substances, the penalties can range

from $100 fine to 48 years in prison.

Individuals convicted of possessing less than eight ounces of marijuana, considered a misdemeanor, receive a sentence of six months to two years imprisonment and/ or $500 to $5,000 fine. Rarely both the monetary fine and jail sentence are imposed.

"First-time offenders usually receive a suspended sentence," said Tom Clinton, chief deputy of the gang unit in the Denver district attorney's office.

Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is considered a petty offense and the maximum fine is $100.

'Dealers usually possess less than one ounce because of (the fine]; we educate them real well.'

"Dealers usually possess less than one ounce because of[the fine]; we educate them real well," Clinton said.

Clinton said that possession of cocaine is considered a class-three felony. "The penalty," he said, "is two to 32 years and/ or $3,000 to $750,000." Clinton said, if a person has 28 grams (one ounce) or more when arrested and/ or if they are importing the substance into the state of Colorado, there will be no opportunity for parole. If less than 28 grams, the convicted person could be sentenced to probation with assigned duties for the community and/ or counseling.

Although the sentencing may sound harsh, it is subject to change. "Potential penalties are not written in stone," Clinton said. "It is up to the court to decide."

Students who receive Pell grants are recipients of federal funds and the government mandates that they sign an Anti-Drug Act Certification form, swearing that they will not use, manufacture, or distribute controlled substances.

This is part of the Federal Anti-Drug Campaign that went into effect March 1, 1989. The forms must be on file when MSC's federal funds are audited, Cheryl Judson, director of Financial Aid, said.

If all reports are true, this campus is not overrun by substance abusers. However, any student seeking help for a controlled substance problem should contact MSC's Counseling Center at 556-3132. Campus employees seeking advice on substance abuse can contact the Colorado State Employee Aso sistance Program at 322-9719.

Sgt. Elmer Daugherty and Lynne Valencia, Public Safety's Liason for CSC, provided information to CSC about Campus Watch organizations.

Many colleges have Campus Watch organizations which have proven effective in reducing on-campus crime, Daugherty said.

Auraria Campus Watch volunteers would be on the lookout for any suspicious activity and r'!port it to Public Safety, Daugherty said.

Valencia said volunteers "cannot be hesitant to report [crimes] like students are."

The organization would also educate people on subjects such as prevention of bicycle and vehicle thefts and how to avoid situations that could endanger one's personal safety, Daugherty said.

He said that the recent rash of thefts from Auraria offices has "slowed to stopped," and that there are no other specific crime-related problems on campus right now. Twentyfour break-ins during winter break.

"Sometimes it gets quiet and comfortable around here," Daugherty said. "But students shouldn't be too relaxed about crime. It's better to be organized and ready to jump into action if something does come up."

Pedestrians should use traffic signs ·,

.....

Yvonne Barcewski The Metropolitan

Pedemians experiencing problems dodging the traffic at the intersection of Seventh Street and the Auraria Parkway should slow down and press the button.

"We have found that there is adequate signage at the comer of Seventh Street and _... the parkway," said Sgt Elmer Daugherty, an officer with Auraria Public Safety.

Sgt. Elmer Daugherty Jeremy Stuhl, Campus Safety Committee chair, said he hopes the Campus Watch program will be in place by May. He added that 20 volunteers are needed to get the program started. He said Public Safety might begin training volunteers in March.

"I'm hoping to have Campus Watch start out small and have it build up over the next few years. I believe in three years we could be very credible. It'll make the campus a safer place both at day and night," Stuhl said.

Daugherty said the volunteers would receive training in basic crime prevention and reporting from Public Safety. Later,

those volunteers could train other people who join Campus Watch.

Stuhl said that the committee has $200 in its budget that can be used to start the organization. Additional money might come from a corporate sponsor, he added.

"If we had a sponsor that had a big interest in the campus and surrounding area, it would be in their benefit to be involved," Daugherty said.

Stuhl said that, in the long run, he would also to install an emergancy phone system.

People interested in volunteering for Campus Watch can call Jeremy Stuhl or Jim Capps at 556-3252 or 556-3312. D

"But people should know how to operate the pedestrian sign. What it takes is that they have to observe tl1e sign and, if it is flashing, 4f it means they don't have enough time to cross the street. Then they should press the button to recycle the sign," Daugherty said.

"But in a lot of cases, people fail to do this because they're in a. hurry or they don't understand how the pedestrian sign works," • Daugherty said.

Once the sign recycles and indicates that i.t is safe to cross, there should be enough time to make it across the street, he added.

Clinic gives students interview assistance The Metropolitan

.

'路

Somewhere between the "limp-fish" and the "bone-crusher" is the "power shake," the perfect handshake for interviews and the one that makes you shine as a job candidate, moving your resume to the top of the top of the stack.

Using the "power shake" was just one of the dozens of practical skills learned by approximately 15 Auraria students and graduates at the Inverviewing Skills Clinic.

Taught by Ron Lujan, assistant director of the Office of Career Services, the seminar was offered specifically to prepare Auraria students and graduates for their first big job search.

Lujan stressed that students must know "how to present oneself in the critical prescreening interview," because applicants to medium-to-large-sized companies often must get past the personnel department's interview before being considered by their target department.

"You are the most important product you've come into contact with. Sell yourself and be professionally aggressive," Lujan said. He also spotlighted preparation. Plan ahead on how to get to the interview and arrive early. Use the restroom to check your appearance and collect your nerves, " Lujan said.

"The interviewer makes an evaluation of your appearance in the first 30 to 60 seconds," Lujan said. "In his mind an applicant can always dress down to suit the office style, but he doesn't figure that you can dress up any better than you are at your interview."

Women should always wear a suit or tailored dress, and for men, a matched suit is

Tlie Metropolitan

.._

preferable to a sport coat, Lujan said. But appearance is only the first step to being prepared.

"Know the company you are interviewing with - its size, sales figures and locations," Lujan said. "Know about the job you are applying for. Be ready to relate how your skills mesh with the position you want."

Three major skills that employers check for during the interview are: oral and written communication, analytical ability and organization of thoughts and materials.

Lujan said it takes an employer three years to get a financial return on a new hire, and interviewers actively weed out applicants lacking neces.5ary skills.

Some interviewers are gruff with applicants and delight in intimidation. Others will be casual, encouraging the job-seeker to relax and expose personal information. Applicants should be ready to adapt to the interviewer's style. "Always be honest, but do it without telling too much about yourself," Lujan said.

Seminar participants felt that open-ended interview questions such as "Why should I hire you?" and "What are your strengths and weaknessess?" are the toughest part of interviewing.

"Tum your weakness into a strength for the interviewer," Lujan said. He recommended reading to book "Knock 'Em Dead"

by Marvin Yates to further prepare for these tough questions.

For Auraria students, alumni and faculty looking to polish career search skills, the Office of Career Services offers more than I 00 free career workshops per semester. The courses are also available to the public for a $20 fee. For more information, contact Career Services at 556-3477. The office isin the Arts Building, Room 177.

First woman chief en route to Auraria Lyn Wazny Wilma Mankiller will make the history books. As Principal Chief of the 100,000member Oklahoma Cherokee nation, Mankiller is the first woman to lead a major American Indian tribe.

She will speak on campus on March 6 at 7 p.m. in St. Cajetan's Center to address "Women in Native American Society." Her appearance is part of a campus-wide celebration for Women's History Month.

Since winning a four-year term as Principal Chief in 1987, Mankiller has been a leading advocate for better education, health care and living conditions for her people.

Challenges are nothing new to her. The 44-year-<>ld chiefsuffered such severe injuries in a car accident 11 years ago that the paramedics initially listed her as a fatality. It took a year of intensive and painful rehabilitation to recover from a crushed face, broken ribs and broken legs.

As a result of the accident, Mankiller took a personal interest in accident prevention among those in her tribe. According to a fact sheet put out by Johns Hopkins Injury Prevention Center, injuries are the leading

THE

cause of death and second leading cause of hospitalization for American Indians. And Native American children under the age of 15 are twice as likely as other children in the population to die of injury.

Mankiller's basic philosophy lies in the empowerment of her people at the local level. About 15 years ago, federal money made up approximately 85 percent of her tribe's budget. Today, 53 percent of the tribe's $50 million annual budget is contnbuted by businesses owned and operated by the tribe.

Mankiller has been responsible for obtaining many programs the Cherokee nation operates today, including Cherokee Gardens, a successful commercial horticultural operation. Her commitment to a community selfhelp concept brought about completion of the Bell Community project, a 16-mile water line. The national publicity established Mankiller as an expert in community development. The project became a model for other indian tribes and rural communities needing development.

When asked about her name, Mankiller smiles. Mankiller, which she traces back to the 18th century, wasthenameofaCberokee warrior. It's a legacy she's proud of. o

LETTERS

Fit To Be Tied

By John C. Roper

We, the people of Metropolitan State College, in order to form a more perfect campus, establish maturity, ensure that no loaded weapons will be wielded in classrooms, and to secure the blessings of an academic institution free of bigotry, do ordain and establish that student government be abolished from campus.

Enough is enough!

When a student came up with the idea that the student government's constitution be changed to work better in the system , MSC President Kelly Martin rewards him by telling him that he's an "a-------" and to "f--- off."

Boy, what a wonderful person Ms. Martin is! Just think if she became president of the United States.

Surgeon General: Ms. President? We've just discovered how to rid the world of disease and famine. All we have to do is .. .

President Martin: F--- off. you a------! You people are always out to get me! Everyone is always out to get me!

Why, I'll have you flogged! I'll have you hung from the nearest yardarm! I'll ...

What is with these people? If they're not accusing each other of being racist, they're ALLEGEDLY toting loaded guns around campus or calling each other names. If Berlin can tear down its wall, you'd think that the least this group could do is to show a little maturity.

I'd like someone to give me some reasons for keeping a student government on campus. Yes, they're there to represent us, the students, as a sort of liason to express our beliefs and to distribute funds among different student organizations. But does any one really want THESE people representing us? I know I don't.

Instead of being represented (and I use the term lightly) by this group, let's use our elected state representatives to get things done. Skip the middle man, as the saying goes. These are the people with the purse strings anyway. I have had enough of "Skippy" and "Buffy" wasting my tuition money on mountain retreats and the infamous year-end "pat on the back" party, on which thousands of dollars of student fees are spent to help the student government feel "appreciated."

Save the cash, kids, you 're not appreciated.

Let's take these funds and put them to good use.

Maybe we could contribute to a minority enrollment fund. How about some scholarships or possibly some research grants? What about using them to improve our library? The possibilities are endless.

"Yeah, but who's going to distribute the funds?"

Good question. Why not let our elected state representatives put together a task force consisting of some students, professors, administrators and community leaders to decide. Anything would be better than the Playground Government we've been letting throw away our hard-earned money.

Nearly every week The Metropolitan runs a story about some childish antics the student government is involved in. This paper is left on buses, in parks, stores, museums, etc., and can be read by people all over the city and its outlying areas. It's downright embarrassing to know that the rest of the community could be reading about our "sand box" government and the way it "represents" its students.

Hey, wait a minute! Didn't the "Denver Post" prominantly feature an article about racism that was spurned by the antics of one of our student representatives? Naw. It must have been a nightmare.

A word to Kelly Martin and the rest of her cronies: Shape up and represent the student body as it deserves to be represented . If you can't do that, step aside and let someone else give it a try.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Dr. Jett Conner of the MSC Political Science Department wrote an editorial for the "Rocky Mountain News" about possible social traumas of the 1990 s, which was published in the Friday, Feb. 2 edition. Robert McPhee, the father of a former MSC student who is now in graduate school at

CU-Denver, wrote a rebuttal which was published in the Friday, Feb. 9 Met. Since not everyone had the opportunity to read Conner's editorial in the News, both pieces are being reprinted in this space. The Metropolitan regrets the error of not publishing both in the first place. o

'60s comparisons unfounded for '90s Now that the 1980s are over. comparisons between that decade and the 1950s have appeared in recent articles reminding us of the cyclical tendencies of history. Some observers are predicting a return of '60s style activism for America in the '90s. Such predictions seem unfounded.

There are, of course, interesting parallels between the '50s and '80s. The omnipresent "get-what-is-yours" mentality of those two decades has been widely noted for example.

But to suggest the '50s and '80s are alike stretches their social fabrics too far.

In the 1950s, drugs were still associated with subcultures (read: "beatniks") in the minds of the general populace. Given the cross-cutting appeal of drugs among all social groups today, our leaders have declared war on drugs and are trying to live up to the metaphor by redefining the role and mission of our milirary forces. No longer are drugs an eccentric amusement: they persist as a prominent feature of American culture.

Artistically, the '50s were inventive and notable. By contrast, the '80s turned nostalgic.

Rock 'n' roll, born in the '50s, became the cultural export of a nation. Initially horrifying the parents of America's largest generation of adolescents, rock 'n' roll would be replayed often in the 1980s as an innocent counterpoint to new, mutant versions that typically assaulted. if not insulted, the senses.

During the '50s many abstract expressionist painters became household names in America. Maybe most Americans didn 't understand "abstract art," but they did recognize its presence in our culture. The 1980s might be remembered for skyrocketing auction prices for art, but probably not much else.

In politcs, Dwight Eisenhower closed the decade and his administration by prophetically warning Americans of the growing influence of the military-industrial complex. Following the demise of the Cold War in the '80s, George Bush enters a new decade searching for ways to preserve the colossal defense establishment.

It is no coincidence, as several commentators have recently noted, that the invasion of Panama demonstrated the latest in American military technology: Stealth helicopters, Stealth fighters and the newest,

not-so-stealthy, advances in rock 'n' roll broadcast technologies.

There are today continuing pockets of protest and movements, some of which are silly, in our society, but they are unlikely to serve as a springboard to nascent, widespread social and political actions in the 1990s.

The '60s, after all, began with a visionary and youthfu l president dedicated to an agenda for change. John Kennedy challenged Americans, and American youth in particular, to get involved in public life and issues.

Seeing the new decade as a great opportunity, JFK focused our scientific and educational goals by announcing his intention to put men on the moon by the end of the decade. No one then proposed that that generation of students was not up to the task, that those students might have difficulty even locating the moon.

Whatever may be said of the outcome of Kennedy's short-lived New Frontier, it was an agenda and it was a compelling one. Young people from all over America signed up for the Peace Corps, postponing their careers, to follow Kennedy's vision to the far corners of the world.

Now, after a full year in the White House, George Bush's agenda remains faint, a thousand points of light notwithstanding. Bush, for example, called a rare national summit to solve the problems of American education. Instead of incorporating bold initiatives such as nationalizing much of the public school curriculum, or proposing to spend more economic development dollars in American schools instead of in Peru, Bush's agenda turned out to be one we cannot even remember.

We enter this new decade without much vision from our nation's leaders. Apparently, that's OK with the majority of Americans who still give George Bush some of the highest approval ratings in recent memory.

That fact says a lot about what Americans are thinking these days. And it refutes the notion that we are likely to return anytime soon to an era of political awareness and activism.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Profs letter treats issues too lightly Editor.

"

....,

I am writing in disgusted rebuttal to a guest editorial

by Professor Jett Conner of your Political Science Dept.. which appeared in "The Rocky Mountain News" on Friday. Feb. 2. In it. the professor trivially passes over issues of the '80s and why they will hardly create the social tensions of the '60s in the '90s. He is right. but the blame clearly lies with idiots like himself who. ensconced in risk-free, self-serving tenure, are lulled to sleep while the nation comes unraveled. They complacently take a long-term perspective attitude that most problems in governing are cyclical and selfcorrecting. They completely neglect the sermons we continually hear that self-governing demands relentless self-correcting and questioning of authority. In a country still experimenting with self-government - many would say unsuccessfully - his position should be critically militant in pointing out our .f ailures to the only citizens (students) who alone would be willing and able to force reforms.

Instead, Conner and hundreds of corrupt members of academia like him have succeeded in creating student bodies of naive, uncaring. second class citizens interested in using education solely as a means of obtaining purely private economic benefits.

Brief examples of the corruption · • It was the '80s which saw a government of the rich provide immensely greater benefits exclusively to the rich, doing so on money borrowed from the world. You students will pay these borrowings back with substantially lowered lifestyles for the remainder of your lives.

Conner would have to be hopelessly ignorant to be unimpressed with this assault on the foundations of democracy. His failure to arouse students to this gross injustice of the '80s in his editorial is unforgivable.

• The out-of-control corruption of Congress is epitomized in the congressionally implemented cause and later remedies of and for the savings and loan scandal.

In an action whose disastrous result could clearly be predicted - thus it was premeditated - Congress passed legislation which allowed unlimited government guarantees of savings in S&Ls. One had only to limit each investment in a single S&L to $100. But millions could be spread through dozens of S&Ls. Worse yet. when the House Banking Committee was discussing means of meeting the government obligations to "savers," two Iiberal representatives suggested the cost be recovered on a pay-as-we-go basis, without the need for borrowing and interest payments; this by implementing a surtax on incomes over $250.000 and by plugging some of the loopholes in the inheritance • In 1986. congressional members on both sides of the aisle solemnly agreed that the higher rates of the progressive income tax would be lowered in return for not allowing a lower tax rate on capital appreciation.

Now the corrupted are back, demanding a lower rate on capital gains and predictions are that they will (bipartisanly) succeed. The less progressive income tax rates will , of course, not be touched .

• One of the faceless. federal agency giants recently ruled that long distance phone callers must pay a monthly access charge to use whomever's long distance lines. This with no protest from your friendly democratic Congress . It is $3.50 per month. which means that if your calls average about $10 per month. the access charge is a whopping 35 percent of your charges.

Naturally this does not materially affect the commercial user whose long distance charges are several hundreds of dollars per month, and whose call rates are considerably lower when financed by millions of small consumers' access payments.

• FICA taxes are completely regressive. The rate is the same for all taxpayers. For the very rich . the tax is forgiven beyond a maximum (still modest) contribution .

Thus. while once effectively progressive income taxes are made ever less progressive. the FICA tax is ever more heavily relied on to furnish - not trust funds -but general revenues. The rate has been increased several times over the past 20 years. It is a pure and simple switch to greater dependence on revenues from the poor and less from the rich .

• A city has granted a monopoly to a cable television concern who, in the meantime, has bribed Congress into pa!';sing a law that makes it illegal for a city to ; dictate rates that the cable concern can charge its captive customers. As expeCted, its customer rates are raiseo continually.

• Space does not allow a detailed discussion of how private enterprise and its lackeys in government have botched the provision of such absolutely essential services as affordable health care and housing and free higher education. Problems in these areas are not about to be solved because socializing any type of service is against the strict, privatization ideology of those who control both state and federal governments.

Unbelievably, Conner. although passively cynical really sees nothing to get excited about. Please don't disturb his (tenured) ~lumbers for the balance of this century.

You who care - and wish confirmation of our ills in government - would be advised to read E.L. Doctorow's commencement address last spring to the graduates of Brandeis University. A reprint of it and comments on it appeared in the Oct. 2. 1989 issue of "Nation Magazine."

Center teaches everyqne Robyn G. Schwartz The Metropolitan

It is difficult to discern who is learning more at the CCD Child Development Center, the children or the college students.

"It's a lot more than just playing with kids," said Jim Hill, 30, a first-semester student in the two-year early childhood education program at CCD. "They're all really bright kids. They are far more advanced than I remember being at their age. This center is advanced. It's been as much of a learning experience for me as it has been for them - probably more, "Hill said.

The center is a lab school which trains the program's students and provides care to children of students and parents who work.

The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays during the CCD semester only. It is open to the public, but most of the

'

Ann Roth having fun with her students. children attending the school have parents who work or go to school on the Auraria Campus. Children ages 2 ~ through 6 are eligible for enrollment.

"Our first mission is to help train the student," director Kathleen Shindler said.

"In the classroom, (the students) learn a lot of theory and what we're trying to do here is to help them put it into practice," she said.

The students work with the children at the center for at least eight hours each week also spend time observing the children and evaluating their behavior. The center has an observation room from which parents and students can watch without the children being inhibited by the presence of the viewers.

The students are required to submit a list of activity suggestions designed to help the child developmentally, said Stephanie Specht,

19, who is in her last semester at CCD. She plans to go to the University of Northern Colorado to get a bachelor's degree in early childhood education.

Ann Roth, who is the full-time preschool teacher at the center, does daily scheduling and activities with the children and evaluates the college students while they work at the center.

"Ann is really good to work with," said 32-year-old CCD student Gwen Wright, who is also in her last semester. Both Specht and Welch said that Roth gives them constructive criticism on how to handle situations without intimidating them.

Education coordinator Maryann Davenport and Shindler said they welcome students from all three learning institutions on campus to visit the center if they need to observe children.

"We want to be a resource for that We'd

like people to know we're here. We're very ... proud of our program," Davenport said.

The center is now in the first step of an accreditation process through the National Association for the Education of Young Children, Shindler said.

"It's a way of saying, to both parents and to students that are training, that we are trying to be the best we can (be) in terms of early childhood programs. There are certain standards that are set up for us in terms of what we know about health, what is the best environment for children; environments • where they can feel good about themselves and can excel. It's a voluntary accreditation; we're looking forward to doing this so we know that we're doing all we should be doing for children," she said.

Davenport said that there are about 60 students in the program at CCD, which includes a bilingual education program.

The program embraces what is called ·a "high-scope" philosophy, which involves children in hands-on, development activities.

The curriculum allows the children to . make choices in learning and to learn by ~ doing. The philosophy is based on an expectation that the children be responsible to a certain extent and that they learn to make their own decisions and to accept the consequences of those decisions, Shindler said.

"Besides what we think of as the academic learning, one of the things we know about young children is that they can make responsible choices and gain self-respect; that makes them feel good about themselves, and children with high self-esteem do well in school," she said.

In the morning the children make decisions about what activity they'd like to work on.

Golda Meir house at home at Auraria Cinthia M. Belle The Metropolitan

Every day, students p~ by the red brick building that sits next to St Cajetan's Church not knowing why or bow it got there, or that Golda Meir, former Prime Minister oflsreal, once occupied the dwelling.

Few know that 1146 Ninth St. is the house's fourth and final home, and that getting the house on the Auraria Campus was not an easy task.

_

-~

•

The house was originally located at 16068 Julian St., where Meir lived with her sister Sheyna from 1913-1914. She moved to Denver from Milwaukee to continue the education denied to her by her parents. She attended North High School for ninth and l 0th grades. Sheyna's house was a gathering place for the city's Jewish elite who came to Denver for health reasons. It was here that Meir engaged in political conversations with young Jews of different political beliefs that influenced and shaped her own beliefs. This began the process that led her to become· lsreal's prime minister. · "[The young people] are passionately and vitally concerned with the major issues of the day. They talked, argued and even quarreled for hours about what was happening in the world and what ought to happen," she wrote in her autobiography, "My Life."

"To the extent that my own future convictions were shaped and given form, and ideas were discarded or accepted by me while I was growing, those talk-filled nights in Denver played a considerable role."

One of the young men was Morris Meyerson, who later became Meir's husband and father of her two children, Menachem and Sarah.

The 1,200-square-foot building was forgotten and slated for destruction in 1981 by the Boy's Club of Denver. They planned to make way for tennis courts. A concerned community group managed to move the duplex to Habitat Park on South Santa Fe Drive. Funds never materialized for its renovation and the home languished there until it was partially burned by arsonists in late 1984. It was then moved again to Sanderson Gulch Park at the intersection of Louisiana and Lipan streets.

Again scheduled for demolition in October 1987, the dilapidated duplex was saved through a restoration effort coordinated by Larry Ambrose, director of development for the Auraria Foundation.

Since its move to the campus site Sept. 15, 1988, the house bas a permanent home at the Ninth Street Historic Park. It is joined by 14 other historic houses built between 1872 and 1906. The park bas been designated as a Denver landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Ambrose said the cost of restoration was $120,000, including landscape. Approximately $60,000 more is needed for the interior. Ifthe necessary funding is available, the house should be completed some time this summer. The house will include a museum in the north unit, where Meir lived, a conference/reception/meeting area in the south unit and academic offices in the basement for programs related to the life and works of Meir. o

Picture a nearly cloudless sky on a Sunday morning - light winds, warm temperatures.

Imagine being 6,500 feet above the ground, soaring at 100 mph in a small aircraft that has barely enough legroom for a person of average height. The land below is dotted with trees and dry creek beds. Houses appear to be the size of dice. Cars look like ants and no people are visible from this height. There is a sense of solitude and a sense of superiority.

This is a typical weekend day for the members of Metro's Precision Flight Team.

The four members present at Sunday's practice, Tim Boettcher, Paul M. Munninghoff, Kassie Perritt and Erik Phillips, are smiling. They are zealous about the day's flight exercises.

"I've got airplanes on the brain," Munninghoff said. He is the ccrcaptain of the flight team.

Munninghoff plans to fly fighter planes for the Air Force after he graduates.

He said that being part of the flight team makes him a better pilot because he works harder in order to be nationally competitive.

He placed third and fifth in landing events at last fall's National Intercollegiate Flying

.191~­

Aswciation regional competition.

Munninghoff commutes from Colorado Springs early in the week for classes at Metro and stays in a Brooks Towers apartment on the 37th floor. His apartment is on the northeast side of the building, "so I can see planes come in (to Stapleton)," he said.

Friday mornings he returns to the Springs where he stays with his father, a retired Air Force pilot, and his mother.

In addition to his cl~ Munninghoff works for Domino's Pizl.a.

Munninghoff is building a full-sized, fullyfunctional replica of a Battle-of-Britain era fighter plane called a "Hurricane Hawker."

He and ·his father take turns using the workshop which is built into their Colorado Springs home.

Kassie Perrit decided to become a pilot after boarding a large commercial jet when she was 17. She said shejust "jumped into it

(her decision to fly) ... I do that with everything."

She said her favorite part of flying is aerobatics, which is not a part of the flight team competitions.

"There's nothing like hanging upmde down looking up at the ground," she revealed.

"I'm a better pilot for being part of the flight team," she said. "It keeps you sharp."

Perritt said that the initiative the team takes in practicing every weekend demonstrates the dedication of its members.

She plans to fly commercially for United Airlines after she graduates and hopes to do aerobatics in air shows on weekends. She said that United is now hiring a lot of women pilots.

Perritt is from Wyoming and came to Metro because it has the least expensive aerospace department in the region.

She works during the week for Diners

Club and takes flight lessons three times a week in addition to flight team practice. She is working toward her commercial pilot's license and certification for flying twinengine, four-passenger plane5.

She said she is fortunate to have a job that pays well because it allows her to fly more.

She is a member of the Alpha Eta Rho fraternity (the letters spell "AIR" in Greek).

Tim Boettcher's goal after graduation is to fly F-18 fighter planes for the Marines.

"I've already sent in my application," he said. "I love fast planes and fast cars."

Boettcher has a serious, "by-the-book" attitude about flying and competition.

He said that the focus of the flight team is "safety through competition."

Boettcher is working on his certification for instrument navigation which entails navigation without the benefit of being able to see Flight Team pg. 18

The children then form groups and are expected to work in their chosen areas, but are not forced to participate. After working at their stations, they gather in groups to discuss with the teachers what they did and what they accomplished. Sometimes they paint pictures of what they did.

Hill said that the reason the children are so well-behaved as a rule is that there are so many things to keep them busy. They are also praised frequently for their efforts.

The center has a fabulous playground.

There is a tunnel, a large jungle-gym, swing, tricycles to ride, hills to roll down and trees in which hang numerous child-constructed birdfeeders. There is a circular garden in which the children planted flower bulbs last fall, Roth said. She said they plan to plant vegetables in the garden this spring.

The students and Roth take the children on field trips, sometimes to visit parents who work on campus, Shindler said. The parents are encouraged to visit the center during the day.

The center is a harmonious learning atmosphere for both children and adults to share the roles of student and teacher. All of them seem content and more than ready to learn and cooperate.

Welch said she loves working with children because, ''they are experiencing fully everything we take for granted."

board's extinction and subsequent loss of student impact.

"I am concerned about the longevity of this board. I would hope that you would be concerned whether or not the students (because of the actions or inactions of this board) will lose their ability to help decide how fees are spent if the board is eliminated.

"I'm trying very hard not to advocate one way or another about what you're deliberating on, but I would hope that you would look at a little braoder picture," Becker said.

He said that, so far, the board members have worked very well together and that he would hate to see something come out of the group that would cause its demise.

Beal said his main objective is to get students more involved in the decisionmaking process that affects their education.

One student, Tom Mestnik, who attended Monday's SAB meeting, disagreed with the wording in part C of the second question. He said it would split the vote and that the "maintain" and "decrease" options would cancel out one another and the "increase" option would automatically win, even though the majority of the students may not be in favor of an increase.

Binder said that she agreed with Mestnik in essence.

"The way the ballot is worded, you're never going to mandate the students one way or another," she said.

Beal said he was glad that the issue will bring people like Mestnik into the picture.

"I hope people like Tom (Mestnik) get to be heard because that's exactly what we need ... that kind of input," he said.

see where one is going, such as flying in clouds or bad weather.

He said that he prefers instrument navigation to visual navigation because it is more mentally challenging and requires more concentration.

Boettcher said that the members of the team are very competitive with one another and that competition among them encourages them all to do better against other flight teams in NIFA. "We're always giving each other a hard time," he said, but he stressed that team members are close because of the 2mount of time they spend together.

The members meet for flight and ground practice every Saturday and Sunday, weather allowing, for flight practice.

Boettcher said he has been interested in flying since he was a child. Neither of his parents is a pilot, but he said they encourage him in his efforts and goals.

He took a year off after graduating from high school to work to fund private flying lessons for himself. In the winter of '87, when he was 17, he earned his Visual Flight Rules license, which certifies him for flying in good weather. He started classes at Metro in the fall of '87. He also works for United Parcel Service to help support himself and his flying expenses.

He spoke of the possibility of returning to school for a master's degree in aeronautical engineering, or a similar technical degree, after a few years in the military. He added that NASA requires its test pilots to have a master's degree in an engineering-related field.

The flight team learned, Feb. 12, that the Student Affairs Board awarded them $6,475 for the team's trip to the NIFA national competition which will take place this April

Binder & Beal agreed, however, that it would be better to submit the questions for approval and to allow the senate to work on the wording rather than to neglect the issue althogether.

Dr. Harry Gianneschi, vice-president of the Department of Institutional Advancement, said that if the fee is decreased or maintained there will have to be cutbacks in the Intercollegiate Athletic Program.

•

"I want you all to know that there's a rumor, and I think it's a very unfair rumor that the first thing to be cut (if cutbacks are to be made) will be a women's sport," said Dr. Karen Thorpe, SAB chair and assistant vicepresident for Student Affairs.

Gianneschi agreed with Thorpe that it was indeed a "nasty rumor."

"We're committed to the six women's sports and the five men's," he said.

He said that a reduction in fees would not mean further inequity among men's and women's sports.

Although women's sports now receive more actual dollars than the men's programs receive, said Gianneschi, there is still some inequity in the locker rooms and among the coaching staffs.

Gianneschi said, at the January 29 SAB meeting, that there is a full-time men's basketball coach with no additional responsibilities whereas the women's basketball coach has responsibilities other than coaching the team.

The ASMSC elections will be held April 3, 4 and 5. o

in Champagne, Illinois.

Before then, the team was uncertain whether the funding would be provided.

Boettcher said that the team will most likely be able to afford to take 10 or 11 members to the competition, using the SAB allocation. The members, however, will have to pay for their own food on the trip.

The trip is scheduled to begin April 19 with the team returning April 29.

Boettcher, MunninghofI, Perritt and Phillips will all compete in Illinois, along with team captain, Trine Jorgensen, and five or six other members.

Boettcher and Munninghoff attested to Jorgensen's ability as a very good, consistent pilot.

The team members are proud of their ability to rank among national competitors, especially against the larger, more prestigious schools that are better funded than Metro.

"As far as aviation is concerned, (the national competition) is a big deal," said Perritt. "You get a lot of recognition for being on the flight team."

That adds up to recognition for Metro as well.

George McCrillis, head coach and adviser to the flight team, and NIFA regional councilman, said that the team's probability for success in the national competition this year is the highest it has been since he came to Metro in 1979.

He said the team has qualified for the national competition every year since the mid-'70s.

McCrillis is responsible for the arrangement of a regional safety competition each year.

If there is one word to describe all the members ofthe flight team, it's "enthusWtic."

But they are also qualified and dedicated in what they do. o

The coffee is brewed, the candles are made, the bread is baked, the walls are built and the bricks are laid, but what does this have to do with "Under Milk Wood" - a play for voices? Nothing - that's the point of "autonomous theater".

The Theatre on Broadway is presenting a production of this Dylan Thomas classic and has billed it as a love story. Director Jeanmarie Simpson, along with her brother and play designer Dan Simpson, have added the "autonomous theater" element to the production created interaction and intrigue among the six actors as they masterfully ramble through about 30 characters. In her director's notes, Simpson explains that this production is the purest "autonomous theater" production she has ever done.

So, what is "autonomous theater" anyway?

Good question. For this particular play, the actors each have several characters to perform, but they also have other duties on stage. Because the play is written for voices, the characters don't change costume or sets, they merely use different voices, tones and facial expressions. Their other duties include making candles, playing the piano, baking bread, brewing coffee, building walls, laying bricks and potting plants. This, then isolates each actor to a certain area but still allows them to interact with each other.

Having seen this for the first time, it was a little confusing but masterfully pulled off by the cast.

The play takes place under the woods called Milk, in a small Welsh town called Llaregy. It details a day in the life of the townspeople - from their sleepy dreams of night and early morning, to their thoughts and reality of an entire day.

Actor Jeremy Cole bullds a brick wall In Lender Miik Wood.

The play opens with the narrator, Jeffrey Thomas Clark, wheeling out the first cast member and piano player, Art Stokes, in a wheelbarrow. Stokes follows with a 10minute interlude of Welsh music. Then the other four members of the cast are wheeled out and dumped at the foot of the stage in a heap.

Clark manages to do a wonderful job of carrying most of the first few scenes by himself. As the narrator, he lifts and tugs and drags each cast member to their designated area. He arouses them from their sleep and countinues talking all the while. The play follows the gossip and happenings of the town on a beautiful spring day.

Although the play itself is confusing, and it is recommended that you research the story before venturing to see it, the six actors do the most convincing job of character change I've ever seen.

Heather Bean not only lights the stage with the candles she has made, she is remarkable in character, especially as the ever-prude and mannered Mrs. 'Persons with manners don't read at table' Pugh. She also gives a convincing protrayal of the evening girl Rosie 'Come on up, boys' Probert.

Robin Miskin comes alive with her charac-

ters much like that of a younger, more beautiful Julie Harris. Miskin proves that she not only has acting ability, but her voice quality comes across as piping hot as the biscuts that she has baked. In her most compelling character, Polly Garter, she crisply releases this talent, in a rich soprano voice.

Although Stokes is melodious with the ivories, he also pipes comedy into the play with his role of Organ Morgan. As Mrs. Organ Morgan puts it, everything with Organ has to deal with Bach.

Overall, the play was an effort well planned and executed. Simpson and Simpson should be applauded for their test at adding the "autonomous theater" element and getting away with it. However, it can't be stressed enough that one be prepared for the show in order to keep up with the performers and to get a full understanding of the work.

C METROPOLITAN

As far as the Metro State men's basketball team is concerned, there's nothing like playing an NCAA Division III independent at home to take their minds off letting control of their own playoff destiny slip from their hands.

The Roadrunners (28-3) rebounded from a disappointing 86-78 loss to AlaskaAnchorage on Saturday, Feb. 24, by returning home to beat Colorado College 97-74 before a crowd of 725 in the Auraria Gymansium on Tuesday, Feb. 27.

Metro went into the weekend road trip in Alaska riding a ten-game winning streak and they pushed it to 11 by beating Great Northwest Conference rival Alaska-Fairbanks 81-64 on Thursday, Feb. 22.

Everything was set for a monumental showdown with Anchorage for the GNC title. Metro would have gained at least a tie for the conference championship with a win.

And as it turned out, it was a great game.

It's the result that the 'Runners have a problem with.

"It was a great ball game. Both teams really played well," Metro coach Bob Hull said. "We came out real hot and cooled off a bit ... got down nine at half time."

But the second half was a different story.

Metro out-scored Anchorage 46-45 in the half but came up short where it counted.

"In the second half I thought we really ;ame out well," Hull said. "We closed the gap right away up there and, with four minutes to go, we got within one. It was 76-75 ... and from then on, Shun (MSC forward Shun Tillman) fouled out with 30 seconds to go and he was really hurting them inside."

Tillman finished the Anchorage game with 14 points, but just two rebounds.

Rebounding has been a problem lately, as Metro has been beaten on the boards in two of their last four contests.

Going into the Seattle-Pacific game, Metro had out-rebounded 25 of26 teams including Illinois. If rebounding has been somewhat of question of late, the Roadrunners answered it aginst Colorado College, out-rebounding the Tigers 38-28.

Tillman had six boards in the CC game to move him ahead of Rich Grosz as the team's all-time rebounding leader. He now has 898.

Gene Edwards, Metro's 6-foot-2-inch senior guard, was the big gun in the Anchorage game. He came off his poorest scoring performance of the year - six points - in Fairbanks to lead the 'Runners with 22 points.

"I feel that's the best game we played all year," Edwards said, "and we could have won it. We should have won it."

But they didn't, and now the playoff picture becomes much cloudier for the Roadrunners. In the latest Division II poll Anchorage and Metro flip-flopped. Metro dropped to No.6 in the nation and Anchorage climbed back to No.2.

Metro, though, is a solid No.2 in the see B-Ball pg. 21

North Central Region, the regional groupings that determine playoff positions and who makes it to the round of 32 for the Division lI championship.

Metro now has a good shot at an at-large bid if it comes to that. They still have a good chance to win the GNC outright and an automatic bid to the playoffs. But for that to happen, Anchorage has to lose one of its last

two games - both road games - and Metro has to win its final game against Eastern Montana on Saturday, March 3.

That's not too far-fetched of a possibility and it's a scenario in which Metro, with a GNC record of7-2, would win the division by virtue of their better record against Division II opponents.

Anchorage, with a GNC record of 7-1, has played more Division I opponents, something that could hurt them if they lose

either at Cal St Sacremento or Seattle-Pacific.

All of this is academic if Metro doesn't take care of business and run their home winning streak to 27 by beating Eastern Montana, a team that held the Roadrunners to their lowest point total of the season in a 52-51 Metro victory on Jan. 27 in Billings.

In that game, Montana played a slow-up, controlled-tempo style that almost worked for them. That won't happen this time, Edwards said.

"We're going to get after it," Edwards said. "They're going to have to run."

If the CC game is any indication, Metro is prepared to live up to their namesake and run the floor mercilessly. Edwards was in top form, leading all scorers with 31 points and dishing off for five assists.

Adrian Hutt, a 5-foot-9-inchjunior guard, was the break master, though, in a game that Metro never really ran away with until late in the second half.

Despite an 18-2 Metro run in 3 1-2 · minutes during the first half, the Tigers kept the lead at around 12 points with a man-toman defense and a hustling offense.

It wasn't until Hutt avenged an earlier miss on a breakaway, by·slamming home a sky-walking, crowd-pleasing dunk at 5:06 of the second half, that CC's enthusiasm seemed to fade.

Hutt had two assists in the game, bringing his record-breaking season total to 200.

Tillman also had a good game. He pulled down six rebounds, scored 20 points and blocked two shots.

At half time, Tillman was honored by Coors Brewery with a $1,500 minority scholarship presented to the school in his name.

Matro basketball has enjoyed Its highest saason attendance aver.

Ralph Rivers, a 6-foot-3-inch sophomore guard, scored 22 points - his season high - and had five rebounds and four assists.

"I think my game is back up to its peak like it was when I got here," Rivers said. "I had been in a slump, but now I'm starting to concentrate a little more and things are starting to pop."

Rivers also had a solid performance against Anchorage, a game that he feels was a bit diminished by the referees' roles.

"Personally, I think we should have won," Rivers said. "Really, I think the refs took us out of our game."

"Unfortunately, you get the breaks when you're at home," Edwards said of Anchorage.

"On a neutral court, without a doubt in my mind, we're 23 (points) better again." Metro beat Anchorage at home 106-83 on l ,•b. 3.

Metro may get the chance to prove tt.eir point. On Monday, Feb. 25, the school submitted a bid to the NCAA to host the North Central Regional playoffs. They'll know by March l l if their bid has been accepted, but Athletic Director Bill Helman said the regionals will probably go elsewhere.

Metro's bid included a "Denver Post" advertising package and rooms for the visiting teams at the downtown Holiday Inn, but the proposed venue - Regis College - has a maximum capacity of3,500 which does not make it overly attractive in the revenue department.

In all likelihood, the Roadrunners will be on the road throughout the playoffs, but in the meantime, they have one last home game.

The March 3 game against Eastern Montana should be a sellout. The team is urging people to arrive early. o
