CoPIRG fee petitioned by senator Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

What was touted as being one of the biggest issues of the year has now brought some senators and the Colorado Public Interest Research Group into the battle of the year -a battle over $3. At the Feb. 28 MSC Student Government meeting, Sen. Kevin Miller addressed the senate with signed petitions that ask students for their support in repealing the $3 CoPIRG fee ~ at registration. Miller said that the fee "is a violation of the student choice" because, if students don't waive the fee, they are automatically charged. "Why should {the students) have to waive the fee?" Miller asked before the meeting. "H you go to the store, are you going to buy something you don't want?" Miller must meet a March 12 deadline with 1,700 student signatures in order for the question to repeal CoPIRG's fee to be put on the spring elections ballot. He said he and other petitioners have already collected well over 1,200. But CoPIRG Board of Directors Chair Angie Keough said the people who were circulating the petitions were "misleading" the students into signing. "They {the petitioners) are making it sound like the students can oppose the fee and still support CoPIRG," Keough said after the meeting. "But without the fee, CoPIRG would cease to exist." CoPIRG is a non-profit organization that works with the homeless, The Clean Air act, recycling and various other issues involving the environment. Its members aren't paid. Last semester, $35,000 was collected from Metro students - the highest amount it's received since it was voted on the campus two years ago, according to CoPIRG member Marshall Seufert. "It's very clear that the fee is optional," Seufert said. "(During registration) we set up refund tables all over campus."

t路

Through signatures, the spirits of over 1500 Aurarla students went with 1O MSC student representatives to participate In the commemortitlve march from Selma to Montgomery. The march Is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Alabama voting rights march.

In CoPIRG's contract, Keough said, CoPIRG is required, within the first three weeks of the semester, to notify the students that the fee is refundable by running ads in The MetropoliJan and displaying flyers in the classrooms and throughout campus. CoPIRG's contract ends next spring. CoPIRG members said they feel that the petition is in violation of their contract which states that, after three years, they must have another referendum to remain on campus. But at the meeting, Miller cited Article 6 of CoPIRG's contract: " 'The senate, at any time, can call for a petition to repeal its previous authori7.ation.' " Miller told the senate that he was not attacking CoPIRG members personally, or what the organization does for the 111F1111a. a

Being black in America is hazardous to your health. That's what Antoinette McCann, a registered nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital, said at the Seventh Black World Conference Wednesday, Feb. 28 at St. Cajetan's. McCann said there are approximately 60,000 deaths every year among blacks in America resulting from cancer, diabetes, cirrhosis, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and sexually transmitted diseases. Talking about health care and the black community, McCann said the way we live often mak~ the largest contribution to our deaths. Often, blacks try to find relief for the problems of being black in

America by seeking short-term pleasures such as alcohol and cigarettes which can kill them, she said. Blacks must as.5ume responsibility for change, she said, listing poverty, poor education, poor nutrition, and racism as areas needing improvement. "The more self-reliant we are, the less hazardous it will be to be black in America," she said. Dr. Terri Richardson-Brown, from the East Side Neighborhood Health Center, spoke next and said health care is more than understanding the biology of disease. A disproportionate number of blacks die sooner in America than whites, she said, adding that for a variety of reasons sometimes blacks do not seek medical help. She gave an example of one patient with breast cancer who

went to a clinic too late, after the disease had spread to her hip. She had delayed her appointment because she thought it would go away if she prayed and went to church. She died soon after. McCann said blacks will often use emergency rooms rather than a family doctor. Thus, they never get to know a doctor who can become acquainted with their health needs. The keynote speaker of the day, Manning Marable, from the Center for Studies of Ethnicity and Race in America at CU-Boulder, addressed the changes blacks need to make in the next decade. "In the 1990s we have to confront new challenges for the black community," he said. He said the oppressed must be made aware of their own history, because there is now a historical amnesia and they do not know the

struggle of their relatives and their sacrifices. He said there was a perverse blessing in the Jim Crow laws (discriminatory rules such as those that kept blacks from using white drinking fountains and riding in the front of the bus) because blacks were constantly reminded of their history and oppression. He also said that people in the black community are often forced into violence. Nearly half of all murders in the United States are black men killing other black men, he said. This violence is caused by absence of self-identity which is acted out as self-hatred. Part of the problem, he said, is the dropout rate among blacks which now exceeds 50 percent. And the blacks that do stay in school do not have the help they need. After his speech he asked the audience if they could commit themselves to the struggle for equality and said that only when they did would they be free. He received a standing ovation. Gwendolyn Thomas, assistant vice president for Student Affairs at Metro, closed the conference. "Things are changing around us," she said, stressing that minorities will not change the climate on this campus. Whites need role models and there needs to be a change in the attitudes of white students before the racial climate on this campus improves, she said. She urged everyone to get involved in the Ambas.5ador Program, the Casette Program and the Mentor Program which help Metro's recruitment and retention of minority students. We must all appreciate each others' cultures, she said. o

Committee facing constitutional axe Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

Disastrous consequences could take place for ASMSC's Club Funding Committee if it is elimi-

nated under proposed constitution changes, according to Sen. Mike Green. Under the proposed constitutional changes, which were decided upon at the Constitutional Convention Feb. 17, Club Funding will be eliminated as a standing senate committee. One of two things will happen to the CFC, said Green, who i'l chair of the committee. It will either become a subcommittee of the Student Affairs Board or it will go under Student Activities.

This, Green said, would put club funding under "too much

administrative control. <Pfhe administration doesn't go out of their way to help the students

(with club funding)," Green said. By eliminating the CFC, he said, "you no longer have an active senate committee working directly with the students." But Sen. Meicbell Walsh said the CFC will be absorbed by Auraria Public Safety, under the proposed changes, into a new standing committee that will be called Student Life. "The Student Affairs Board doesn't have time to bear clubs' funding problems," Walsh said. Yolanda Eriksen, director of Student Activities, said the CFC wiU not be put under Student Activities because it would be "wrong." At the Feb. 28 Student Govern-

ment meeting, this issue created an upheaval as students spoke out against eliminating the CFC. The students' concerns were manifested from proposed constitutional changes that have been circulating throughout the senate - about three different versions. In favor of CFC, Metro student Lois Kan~ said that she agrees with the members of the administration and the senate who believe that the CFC should remain a separate entity from the student government "The CFC members do more than fund the clubs, they serve· them as well, by ~isting club members with advice and providing ready information," KaDCM saido

Possible tax on beer irritates many Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

The government wants to raise taxes on beer by 300 percent, according to baseball hall-of-famer Stan Musial, honorary national chairman of the Beer Drinkers of America. Recently, Musial sent out a nationwide plea urging people to petition state representatives to vote against this legislation. In his letter, Musial stated that beer drinkers are being singled out for higher taxes. "Congress cut taxes on items like fur coats and expensive jewelry," he said. "And they refuse to close tax loopholes that their rich friends use to escape paying their fair share of taxes." He added that, in order to make up for that lost tax revenue, politicians want to raise the excise tax on beer by 300 percent. An excise tax is a "hidden" tax placed on a product on top of the sales tax. If passed, the measure would mean paying imported beer prices for domestic beer, about $5 a six-pack. So what would you do if your favorite brand of brew went up to $5 a six-pack? "I'd probably quit drinking - or at least cut back," said Marty Gutierrez, an MSC marketing major who works for AnheuserBusch. Gutierrez said that he doesn't buy beer very often, but that if the price does go up, he doesn't think people will notice it much. He said, for example, that the average price of beer in a tavern, bar, or restaurant is about $1.50. "They (the owners) probably pay about 30¢ a bottle," he said. "So, they're making over a dollar a bottle. Obviously, people don't really care, another 20¢ won't make any difference." He can't see the major breweries going for it1 either. "It's a flat market - their profits are already decreasing every year," he said. Field Majors, a bartender at the Mission, said that he doesn't drink, but as far as this tax hike goes, he said, "People are tired of being taxed all of the time and getting nothing out of it. We're the richest country in the world ... We (the U.S.) sent $18 million to the Contras ... $100 million to Marcos - and the American taxpaye1 still has to keep paying for these things. "We live in a capitalistic society - the system's not going to change," Majors said.

Fleld Majors, a bartender at the Mission. Tamara Vodehnal and Shea Sterger, both Metro hospitality and travel majors, agreed that there is no doubt these kind of tax loopholes exist, and if they're going to raise taxes on beer. why not raise them on everything? "Why not legalize drugs - and tax those?" Sterger said. "I mean, alcohol's a

drug. It's addictive, people are going to drink it anyway," she said. They both said that they would not send any money to Musial, although they do support his cause. Jeff Walsh, a Metro communications major, is an official card-carrying member of

BDOA. His membership is supposed to entitle him to discounts at certain area liquor stores, though he said he has never tried it. He declared the tax proposal unjust and said that, if the government is going to increase alcohol taxes, why not increase taxes on soda pop? He said that he would be interested to see how major breweries feel about it, and that he thinks their profits would go down. "Beer's already expensive enough," he said. If it went up to $5 to $6 a six-pack, he said, "I wouldn't buy beer as often. I might just have a rum and coke." "It's ludicrous," said Adam Hoefler, an MSC finance major. He said that alcohol, firearms and tobacco goods should all be subject to moderate tax increases, comparable with gasoline, for example. He said the government should tax things that are harmful to the environment. "Pollutants are as damaging to people as drugs are," he said. Representative Dan Schaefer's Denver staff said that he is opposed to any taxes that target one group of people. They said that lie feels like the government would then have to start taxing everything people are morally against. "They're asking people for money, when a call to their congressman is all they really need to do," said one of Schaefer's Denver staff assistants. In his letter, Musial also puts forth that BDOA's lobbyists are preparing to battle new legislation which would inake beer advertisements on television illegal. According to the letter, without beer advertisers to pay the cost, viewers will pay up to $300 each year to watch sporting events on pay cable channels. According to Musial, Beer Drinkers of America members have been successful in halting legislation in Florida, New Jersey, and Washington, D .C. that would place higher taxes on beer. Now they're ready to "mobilize" their members in Colorado. In his letter, Musial also asks people to join Beer Drinkers of America, an organization formed to "protect your right to enjoy beer free from unfair legislation and ex~ive taxes." For $5 a year, members are enrolled in a "Legislative Action Network " which keeps them informed about any developments concerning the rights of beer drinkers and a subscription to "Heads Up," the official publication of Beer Drinkers of America.

Divorce clinic provides support Cinthia M. Belle

•

_T_h_e_M_et_ro...:...p_ol_ita_n_ _ _ _ _ _ __

School is stressful enough without the added pressure of divorce. But for some Auraria students, some of the pain and pressure was relieved after they attended a divorce clinic on Feb. 22. Barbara Koehler, attorney at law and director of the Tri-Institutional Student Legal Services, conducted the clinic for students who are going through a divorce and want to do the paperwork themselves without hiring an attorney. The free clinic was designed for students filing a non-contested divorce. In noncontested divorces all issues of custody, visitation, child support, maintenance (alimony,) and property and debt division have been agreed upon. "If you run into an area where you and your spouse are going to be contesting or arguing about something, then you really need to have second thoughts about whether or not you want to get an attorney to protect those rights," Koehler said. In Colorado, divorce is known as "dissolution of marriage," and is "no fault," which means that it is not necessary to prove that either spouse was to blame for the · failure of the marriage. "You don't have to go into court and say, 'The bum beat me up' or 'The wife left me and bad an affair with someone else.' All you have to say is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and only one of you has to say it," Koehler said. In order to file for divorce in Colorado, at least one spouse must be a resident or have lived in Colorado for 90 days, Koehler said.

'•

Three forms are needed to file a divorce in Colorado: the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, the Summons, and if you have children, the Affidavit as to Children. "It's a fill-in-the-blanks form," said Koehler of the petition, which consists of the names of the petitioner (person filing,) and co-petitioner (person being filed against,) years of residency and county in which the divorce will be filed. "You need to file in the county in which you live," Koehler said. "If the counties are different, then you can pick or choose, but if you think you'll have a problem with a spouse on where you'll file, then file in the county in which they're living." If children are involved, there is a line for child support, and Koehler suggests writing in "as provided by law," because child support is formulated by calculating the combined gross incomes of the parents, number of children, and whether there will be split, shared or sole custody. In dividing property, Koehler said that anything purchased during the marriage is marital property - no matter how it is titled. Both spouses need to sign the petition and have it notarized. If the spouse will not sign the petition, then a summons needs to be filed. A summons advises your spouse that you are filng for divorce.

Take the original and a copy of the summons and a copy of the petition to the sheriff. Keep copies of all the documents for yourself. The sheriff will serve the divorce papers to your spouse for $20.

IIEAI{

After your spouse has been served, there is a 90-day waiting period before the divorce can be scheduled for a final hearing. The court clerk will schedule a final hearing date. A copy of the hearing notice must be sent through certified mail, with return receipt requested, immediately to the spouse. ~

If you and your spouse have agreed upon all matters (custody, visitation, child support,

maintenance, property and debt division) you can prepare a written separation agreement. Both parties must complete a financial affidavit, which lists their assets. Assets .., include: real estate, furniture, cars, bank accounts, and cash on hand. "Do not lie or hide money," Koehler said. "If you have money hidden and they find out about it, you're sunk." The petitioning spouse must bring a • financial affidavit, a completed child support order (the court will fill in the amount) and a divorce decree to the final bearing. Pamela Smith, a CU-D student, attended the workshop because she said she was trying to file her divorce without an attorney. ~ "There's so much I didn't know. I know I would have made a lot of mistakes ifl didn't attend the clinic," Smith said A self-help handbook with blank forms and brief instructions for filling out each form, is available to students. The handbooks are free and can be picked .. up at the Student Legal Services in the Student Union Rooms 255A & B. For more information on solving divorce problems, make an appointment with Barbara Koehler D a 556-3333.

The world's first doctor of billiardology visited the Student Union Gameroom Feb. 26. Tom "Dr. Cue" Rossman, the current World Open Master Champion in trick, fancy and skill-shot billiards, put on an entertaining and educational exhibition for both participants and observers. Although Rossman admits his doctorate is self-awarded, he has enough credentials to bill himself as a Ph.D. In addition to this world master title, he was also the professional collegiate champion in 8-ball, 9-ball, bank, and 3-cushion billiards from 1967 to 1972. He has competed in many regional, national and world tournaments in 3-cushion and pocket billiards since then. Rossman, 40, started playing billiards at age 7. He said that while he was attending Eastern Illinois University, he became interested in trick shots by watching demonstrations and reading "how-to" books. By the time he graduated, he was skilled at roughly 30 to 40 trick shots, ''just to entertain the people in the recreation center," Rossman said. Rossman continued to play competitively until September of 1987, when his Traveling Trick-Shot Show began touring full-time. People only need watch to see that he enjoys what he's doing. "I really love doing shows at schools all over the country," he said. "I enjoy working with college students and relating to them." He said he was impressed by the large crowd gathered to watch his show. "They were all over the place," he said. "It's very unusual to see this many pef>ple. I think people are always fascinated with trick shots, but (Feb. 26) was like a snowball effect One person would tell another, and pretty soon the place was packed. There was just tremendous interest."

Besides demonstrating his trick shot mastery, Rossman also welcomed all students to compete against him in challenge matches in either 8-ball or 9-ball. Regardless of whether the challengers won, he was quick to offer precise, meaningful compliments. "It's terrific to see such talents and interest," Rossman said. "There is a great benefit to (billiard) players when the game is handled in a positive way." · Rossman has written a book, "Rack Up A Victory," which contains several mathematical formulas he adapted to pocket billiards from the European game ·of 3cushion, which has no pockets. The book also addresses trick shots and basic tips for any billiard game. "The mathematics are excellent for a beginning player who needs help in making bank shots. Rather than using instincts, the player can use math and geometry. It's also ideal for other players to further aid their game, like a fail-safe," he said. Of all the trick shots he knows, Rossman said his favorite is the "Miller Lite" shot made famous by Steve Mizerak in the commercial several years ago. He sinks six balls, one in each pocket. When he set it up, he nailed it on his second try. Another impressive shot is a complicated one which won him his latest world championship: the cue ball and the 8-ball sit next to each other in front of a corner pocket. The I -ball sits across the table in front of the side pocket. The cue zips around the eight and knocks the I-ball into the hole just before the eight also drops.

As the crowd cheered its appreciation, Rossman's wife, Marty, looked unfazed. "He makes it looks easy, doesn't he?" she said. They have been married since 1986. She was also quite impressed with the turnout for the exhibition, plus the number of students eager to show their skills before their peers.

Rossman said he probably would never have taken his show on the road if it hadn't been for Marty. "She's really the key to the whole thing," he said. "She does all the bookings and travel arrangements. Without her, I probably wouldn't have finished my book. I probably would have been a road player playing in every little place along the road, trying to make it" Rossman is working on other projects in addition to his traveling show, including another book on trick shots. The shots, he said, will be rated on a difficulty scale of 1-10. He is developing two videotapes, one on his mathematical systems and the other an exhibition tape with comedy. He also plans to make an audio tape of his book so players can practice and listen to his methods at the same time. The Traveling Trick Shot Show tour also includes stops at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming, Lowry Air Force Base and the Aurora Senior Citizens' Home, which he visited last year. He said he hopes he can come back to Auraria again next year.

Rossman cautions any pool player who wants to take up trick shooting. "You've got to be willing to give up almost any contact with tournament play. That's not to say you can't do both, but if you combine too many elements, they all will suffer. Try to focus your attention on one aspect alone, whether it's playing in tournaments or doing trick shots or playing for money. "I like to show people the fun elements of the game, and at the same time, I can teach profes.5ionally so if they want to compete seriously, they can do that just fine as well. And always just have fun - that's the most important thing. It may be a cliche, but it is only a game, after all." o

Media seminar a big success Judy Floyd The Metropolitan

They started with nothing. Six months later, Feb. 23, 1990, to be t:xact, the 13 students in professor Karen Krupar's speech-class - "Conference Leadership and Parliamentary Procedure" - hosted the first major conference in MSC history that was organized and staged entirely by students. At the beginning of the fall semester and at the urging of Krupar, the class of speech, accounting, communications, and technical area majors decided to go beyond the theoretical and started planning a real conference. The group, which became Metro Connections '90, worked countless hours organizing "Demystifying the Media." A few students labored during winter vacation. At least one student, director Sabra Brick, admits the project was "totally consuming." The hard work paid off. ''The conference [subtitled 'A Conference for Anyone Who Needs to Work with the Media'] went off without a hitch," said Brick, a speech communications major. It wasn't exactly small potat~ either.

At the beginning of the meeting, CoPIRG's fee was supposed to be voted on in the senate but Miller withdrew, saying that he would just collect the rest of the signatures needed. Speaking in favor of CoPIRG, MSC Student Trustee Terry Thomas said that, if the fee was repealed, "MSC would be losing something that they cannot provide on their

and a few MSC students turned up. Although Metro Connections '90 has not officially compiled the post-conference evaluations, Krupar said that a quick look indicates a huge success. "Both the speakers and the participants gave top ratings," she said. The conference was a success in other ways. Both Krupar and her students agree that the students learned how to organize a conference. "The students did it. I did not," Krupar said. The conference also enabled Metro Connections '90 to give something back to the community, she said Not least of the successes is that the college could "show the community what Metro was capable of producing," Krupar said. Krupar's students, who are quick to credit their teacher, share her enthusiasm. "Nothing as bold as this has ever been done before," said Wilma Reynolds, a senior in charge of registration. "As word gets out about what Metro is doing, we'll begin to see other colleges and universities take note." For Reynolds, the experience was invaluable. "I wouldn't give it up for anything." Reynolds will graduate in May and hopes to do more public relations and conference planning work. "It was a great experience," Brick confirmed. "We worked together as a team and learned we could pull it off. We carried it from its inception all the way through." Although this particular project is complete, Metro Connections will be around next year. Next fall, Krupar plans to do it all over again - with a new class and a new project. D

LETTERS · . Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris You know, one of the fun things about writing my column every other week is getting to decide what I'm going to write on. Supposedly, I'm allowed to write anything I want on anything I want. Because of the virtual plethora of topics available, I have devised a system - it's called a story problem and I am really surprised that no one has thought of these things before. For example, if two men, A and B, are sitting in a comfortable bar debating what a promising young columnist should write his required 16 column inches on, what, in fact. will he write? A: OK, it's that time again. We've got to come up with something for the moron to write his stupid column on. B (slamming a third pint of Bass Ale): Urp! No sweat. I was checking out that rag, The Metropolitan, and I think I can come up with something to be cynical about. Hey! Do you think he'll spring for another round? A: Gimme a break. The guy lives on Safeway burritos, you think he's got money for beer? B: Yeah, good point. OK, what have you got? A : Well, as usual, Roper got the good week for breaking national news, although I guess we could do something about that goofy day-in-the-life of George Bush thing. B : Nah, who cares? He's just the president of the United States. We need something more local, besides I dozed off halfway through it. A : Local , huh? How about Stupid Government? B : Now you're talking! There's a bunch just begging to be slammed. And , hey! He never d id have a chance to respond to that nasty letter one of those resumepadding student senators sent him last year. A: That's right. I'll bet that little Nazi totally forgot he even wrote it. You know he said that, in some countries, Chad could get hung for the things he wrote? B: Yeah , like maybe in the perfect Adam Smith universe. Of course, we also have to realize that this is the same guy who actually bought that whole Knute Nelson column. A: Holy suckers, Batman! That was one of the best columns we came up with - I mean considering how many 'shrooms you loaded onto that pizza. B (laughing maniacally and spilling most of this fifth pint onto A) : Yeah, well , anything for a world's record . He told Plank we'd have to produce a death certificate! A: Jeez, you know, I never thought that someone would believe that a guy could die in a freak parasailing accident off the coast of Malta while trying to get a glimpse of Mikhail Gorbachev. B: Remember P.T. Barnum! But you know, I don't think that's such a hot idea. I mean we could get into a lot of trouble with that. What, w ith the Student Affairs Board being into this God thing and now that the Board of Publications is meeting again - not that there's really all that much to worry about there - look who they picked for the editor. A: Great, so you've blown that topic. (Pause, loud snorting sound , razor- blade tapping glass sound follows) Ah! Much better. We could talk about What'sher-face's habit of cussing the students who put her · into office. B: Hell, if we're going to go into that gaff, we might as well include projections on this year's Stupid Government elections. A: My vote is for Calvin and Hobbes. At least then we'd have someone to go drinking with. B : Hey look! We did it, we're at the end of the column! OK, now come up with a snappy ending. A: Uhhhhhh. Thanks guys, I'll take it from here. You know, it's really funny how stupid things we did in the past just keep coming back to haunt us, isn't it?

Ex-senator blasts student govt. Editor: Last year I was elected a student senator; I looked forward to being active on behalf of my fellow collegians . Fortunately, for me, I discovered during the summer months that the demands of new fatherhood would prevent me from attending the Wednesday afternoon meetings and I therefore resigned . I say that this circumstance was "fortunate" because, after reading in The Metropolitan about the high-jinx of our so-called Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (of Denver) government, I thank my lucky stars that I have been spared from being a player in that comedy. However, I am writing this letter to offer suggestions for avoiding this kind of fiasco in the future. First, and very simply, this present student government should abolish itself. If this institution cannot do much more than bicker and embarrass us, then the majority of MSC students don't need it and probably don't want it. Besides, this government is mar:iifestly

undemocratic! Look at how many of the current student senators are unelected! Secondly, a new student government should be put together that meets only the minimum necessities of the students. I would propose that a nine member student board be elected that would choose its own chairperson. These nine people should be able to handle the job. No more student senate! No more Student Affairs Board! No mare "mountain retreats!" No more "pat on the back" parties! Lastly, I would advocate that the few actual student voters out there, all three hundred of them perhaps, demand that the candidates in the upcoming elections vow to dissolve the very positions they seek. Only this way will we rid ourselves of this humiliating scandal. The slogan: No More of the Same! It's Time for a Change!

- Dave Chandler MSC student

Senate defends intentions Editor: To John C. Roper: Surely you've been a little hasty with your Declaration of Independence. We respect your sincerity but regret the ·harsh reality of ·your feelings. We are newly appointed senators having spent a short time within the ranks of Student Government. We assure you, and all those who feel the same way as you do, that there are brilliant people representing you with a firm understanding of their stewardship and charge. We realize all too well, after conducting our own audit, those shortcomings and intend no argument. We recommend you reconsider your comments as we feel they represent the reactive nature of those actions you abhor the most. We believe your most relevant argument is that of unprofessionalism. We see this as the most important

aspect of student government in the '90s. This, in turn, will provide students with their loudest voice in the determination of their own learning process. As professionalism improves, so do standards and the quality of representation. As we read your article, we recalled the times we have been accosted ourselves in the student government area. We should not encourage unprofessional acts in the student government. We call upon you, and all those like you , to help us ratherthan abandon us. For as Dr. Marvalene Styles Hughes has said, "Students have historically provided the momentum necessary for social change ... and concern, passion, and commitment are all empowering."

GUEST EDITORIAL

U.S. intervention not welcome Nicaragua has faced a major set-back with the election defeat of Daniel Ortega. The victory of the UNO coalition was cleverly designed and engineered by the United States government, and epitomizes the relationship between the U.S. and Nicaragua. We're led to believe that our posture towards Nicaragua is based on national security fears against this nation of little more than 3,000,000 people. However, there is a consistent, historic pattern where the U.S. government has actively and aggressively intervened in Nicaragua's affairs. Between 1909 and 1912, the U.S. government took part in the deposition of four presidents of Nicaragua until it was satisfied with one who fit its needs. The U.S. Marines were used to invade Nicaragua in 1909, 1912, 1926 and 1927, in order to "protect" U.S. interests there. Many of Nicaragua's foreign export products (coffee, gold, lumber and bananas) were held by U.S. corporations. In 1936, the U.S. government helped to install and maintain the Somoza family dynasty, a brutal dictatorship which stayed in power until it was overthrown in 1979 by the Sandinistas. The newly elected president, Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, is路the widow of Joaquin Chamorro Cardinal, who was assassinated by the Somoza government in 1978, a brutal act which sparked the revolution.

Since 1979, the U.S. government has been actively working to destabilize Nicaragua's economy through economic embargoes and war. The U.S.-backed Contras, led by Somoza's former national guardsmen, have inflicted heavy casualties against Nicaragua. More than 30,000 lives have been lost, mostly civilians, as a result of the continued U.S. funding of these mercenaries. The UNO coalition, which was favored by the Bush administration, is a broad grouping of 14 parties ranging from the Communist Party to right-wing former Somoza followers. Their only basis of unity is opposition to the Sandinistas, after this, there is no basis of unity. It is astounding and mind boggling to think that this unprincipled alliance can be expected to lead a nation. Their victory was a direct result of the Reagan/Bush strategy of destabilizing the economy. The Contra war had forced Nicaragua to spend large portions of its economy on the military and had to maintain a military draft. Bush had indicated, during the elections in Nicaragua, that, if Chamorro had won the election, the U.S. government might not continue funding the Contras and that the U.S. might consider giving economic aid to Nicaragua. The U.S. played a critical role

in determining the outcome of the election. The U.S. Marines weren't sent in this time, but the results were the same. Nicaragua was finally experiencing democracy and national sovereignty as a free nation under the direction of the Sandinistas. They were finally becoming free from foreign domination. Nicaragua had instituted major land reform programs, a major literacy campaign had been initiated, health care was becoming more accessible, and the quality of life for the people of Nicaragua was being dramatically improved. The test for Nicaragua, under the leadership of the UNO coalition, will be to further improve the quality of life for Nicaraguans. It is quest~onable that the UNO coalition will continue the reforms and work to maintain the ones in progress. Ironically, it was the Sandinistas that paved the way for democracy in Nicaragua, which allowed the antiSandinistas to get elected. Previously, under the repressive, U.S.-backed Somoza regime, this would not have been possible at all. Nicaragua will not be a free and sovereign nation while the U.S. continues to intervene in Nicaragua's affairs.

PEOPLE Japanese lend music ingenuity Timothy David Robertson The Metropolitan

The Japanese have done it again. Now the U.S. can thank Japan for a brilliant new form of night-life entertainment that excites the performers as well as the crowd. It is called Karoke. Karoke is a Japanese word meaning "empty orchestra." It is a laser disc system that provides the background music to various popular songs and deletes the words. This is where the fun comes in. The lyrics to the songs appear on a video screen and the words to the song are color-coded to indicate which lyrics the participant should sing. The Iliff Park Saloon in Aurora presented a "lcarokesing-along" oompetition Wednesday, Feb 2 l. The event was hosted by KAZY radio personality Jo Myers, who persuaded leery audience members to leave their inhibi-

tions behind and boogy down. "Karoke may look embarrassing, but it really is a lot of fun. You guys just got to get your feet wet, now come on," Myers told the patrons. After numerous duets with Gary Pickus, the Pioneer Laser Entertainment video coordinator and Karoke spokesperson, Jo Myers gave up the stage to participants in the crowd. The Karoke laser disc system provided almost 500 songs for the audience to choose from. The categories ranged from '50s-'80s pop songs, golden oldies, country and western, standard and Broadway hits and even an Elvis Presley category. The participants fill out a request card, writing down the song's name and number as listed in the catalog. Then the "karoke jockey" inputs the number into the system and the participant is magically transformed into a singing star. "I have done karoke in some Japanese restaurants in Denver," said Tetsuya Abe, an English language student at Arapahoe Community College. "I like to see it in Colorado because it was one of my favorite things to do in Japan on the weekends. Most of the office workers and businessmen in Japan do karoke after work to release stress. I think it will become most popular in the U.S." The winner of the first night of the "karoke sing-along" at Iliff Park was Troy Leiker, who sang a wonderfully-in-tune "Something," by the Beatles. The competition runs for six consecutive Wednesday nights, with the first five being qualifying rounds and the sixth night, the final competition. Troy Leiker and the other finalists will return on March 28, for a chance to win a laser disc system valued at $1,000. For more information regarding karoke and the competition at The Iliff Park Saloon, call 696-1404. D

Student bytes into future of computing · M.K. Wagner The Metropolitan

What does an inquisitive computer science major do when he questions what a parallel computing system is'! He starts from scratch and builds his own. That is what Joseph Gradecki, a senior at Metropolitan State College, did. Gradecki, who has been fascinated with computers for the past 10 years, started building the parallel processor in 1988. A parallel processor is a group of computers or nodes interconnected to form a single unit Each node, then, can process different data from a single program simultaneously. Each node must be able to communicate its information to the others in order to function parallel. His creation started with four and has developed into 16 interconnected personal computers. "I read (some) articles and thought, hey, this is kind of neat. I just wanted to try it," Gradecki said. He worked independently without the expectation that it would help him on school projects. Gradecki said he believes the information he has gained is invaluable. Gradecki is constantly working on the parallel processor. He said he feels it is functional but is continually enhancing it's capabilities. "It is continually growing. It will probably never be finished; there is always something you can add to it," Gradecki said. He admits

his world revolves around computers and that, while working on his projects, he gets little sleep.

Gradecki owns several other computers and is planning to build a different model of his parallel processor. He said he feels bis first model has potential, but that his next one will be even better. "I see a limit in single pr~ors, and right now, there is no parallel processor on the mass market," Gradecki said. He said be foresees parallel processors being used primarily in scientific fields and remarked on how they could improve weather forecasting by processing information more quickly. A company in Boulder is interested in producing circuit boards like the one Gradecki used. A book that Dr. Charles Howerton, from the MSC computer science department and Gradecki are writing has already drawn the attention of some publishers. "The book is based on guiding prospective builders of parallel processors but making it easy enough so they don't have to go through the difficulties I had to," Gradecki said. It cost Gradecki $4,000 to build the parallel processor, but with the help of the book, a person should be able to build one for $800, Gradecki said Gradecki will continue his education in computer science and research as a graduate student at the University of Wyoming in th

fall 1990.

Details, details. Mark Wilson knows details On opening night, Feb. 22, along with painter John Cooksey, Wilson displayed his work at the Philip J. Steele Gallery at the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. A miniature sculpturist, Wilson deals in details. Choosing from a variety of woods, he pares down the medium to pint-sized replicas of specific objects, each with a curious twist. He said that as a child he was fascinated with the intricacy of the charms on his granmother's bracelet. charms on his giandmother's bracelet. Humor plays a large part in his work, as seen in the titles of the pieces. "The titles are everything to me. I have just as much fun with the titles as I do the piece," Wilson said. For example, "Little Outhouse on the Prairie." A lone privy (carved ofbasewood) sits waiting (on red oak) for whom? Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert? No bigger than a human hand, the details are astonishing.

"Bullshit" had another outhouse, but this time a bull was either waiting for the inhabitant to come out, or he was first in line to use it. The sculpture is made of zebra, barn and petrified woods. Wilson works 10 to 12 hours a day carving and said it is his passion. "This is what I like to do. It's problem solving for me, getting to work with my hands," he said. For four years, Wilson worked with the Ringling Brothers' Barnum and Baily Circus as a prop man. In his piece "VonTrap Brothers Present," two trapeze artisits are about to perform their death-defying act on top of a mouse trap. The male figures are less than one-half inch tall, each with 11 different pieces carved of wenge, bone and purple· heart. Wilson said he likes to devote as much time as possible to his carving, but when the refrigerator is low on beer, "it's time to go back to work." Wilson lives in Sadalia Colo., and works as a food preparer for one of the town's restaurants. The high intensity colors of John Cooksey's paintings, juxtaposed beside Wilson's sculptures, were like day and night. Cooksey said he likes to "look for pleasing images" for his very contemporary paintings. Split between serigraphs (silk screens) and oils, one of his paintings, "Carousel Serigraph" had a vtbrant mix of colors illuminating a merry-go-round horse. one-time MSC student has studied art at CU-Denver, University of Denver, University of California at Santa Barbara and at the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. An accomplished artist, he has had five individual shows and six group shows. Cooksey now works as a commercial artist and is establishing a gallery showing of his paintings in Palm Beach, Fla. o

Dive into 'Red October' Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

This may be the time of Glasnost and Perestroika, but that takes nothing away from the Cold War tensions in what should be l 990's first blockbuster, "The Hunt For Red October." Based on Tom Clancy's best-selling thriller, the film successfully walks the line between becoming boring and confusing the audiences with technical jargon. The result is a compelling chain of events which starts slowly, then kicks into high gear.

ups

The screenplay by Larry Ferguson and Donald Stewart includes much ofthe detailed and technical terminology used by Clancy. It is explained well enough to add a bit of frightening realism. Director John McTieman ("Die Hard") establishes the plot, and the suspense steadily builds.

The Red October is a "first strike" submarine, undetectable by sonar because it makes no sound, enabling it to launch a barrage of missiles virtualy anywhere without warning. Since the events in the movie take place before Gorbachev's tenure, the creation of such a submarine is of understandable concern to the Americans. Sean Connery heads up a great cast as Marko Ramius, captain of the Red October. Ramius has tired of the ongoing race for arms supremacy with the Americans and decides to take matters into his own hands. Connery's portrayal matches his performance in 1987's "The Untouchables," for which he won an Academy Award. At first, Ramius seems like a cuckoo, but he is actually a brilliant naval commander. As good as Connery is, Alec Baldwin is better. As CIA analyst Jack Ryan, Baldwin's performance is the best of the film and should reinforce his star status. Ryan has a desk job, with duties including prolifing Soviet Navy personnel. Because of his familiarity with Ramius, he is thrust into the middle of the search for the Red October.

Baldwin mixes Ryan's courage and intelligence with his inexperience, and comes up with the most human character in the film. As viewers who have already read Clancy's book know, Ramius plans to defect to the United States, taking the Red October with him. The complex plan appears ludicrous to everyone but Ramius and Ryan. Ryan is the only one who realiz.es Namius' intention and has to prove it in a limited span of time.

Under McTieman's direction, each scene has an underlying tension which rises to a peak before the terrific underwater climax. These scenes are nothing short of spectacular. Usually, underwater scenes areas interesting as watching fish in an aquarium, but not this time. McTieman's handling of the wellwritten screenplay rivets the viewer to the screen. This film does for underwater battles what "Top Gun" did for aerial dogfights. The ending wisely leaves many loose ends untied, because all the complexities of the plot could never be resolved easily. Along with all the action, politics inevitably appears, complicating things all the way around. Among the other noteworthy performances are Sam Neill as Ramius' loyal right-hand man, James Earl Jones as the CIA director of naval intelligence and Richard Jordan's amusing portrayal of the blunt National Security Adviser. People who have already read "The Hunt For Red October" should be pleased with the movie adaptation, and people who haven't yet read it will enjoy the movie even more. Its realism and potential consequences generate real excitement, even if the Cold D War appears to be near its encl

Scott Glenn turns in a good performance as Bart Mancuso, captain of the USS Dallas, an American submarine which, almost literally, stumbles upon the Red October. A smart sonar operator (Courtney B. Vance) then discovers a way to track the Red October, which gives the DaJlas an advantage over the Soviets who have sent nearly their entire fleet after Ramius.

SPORTS 'Jacket season over, 'Runners advance David 0. Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

It was like if Jane Pauley had tweaked Bryant Gumbel's nose on her final "Today" show appearance, or Ron Reagan had pushed the button before turning over the reins to George Bush - the ultimate parting shot

The Roadrunners depart the GNC as winners of both the conference and an automatic bid in the North Central regional playoffs. It will be Metro's first time ever in the playoffs and it comes as the culmination of their finest season (27-3) ever. The atmostpbere in the Auraria Gymnasium was alive with anticipation. A sellout crowd of 1,449 was on hand to watch a potentially tight rematch (the Yellowjackets lost to Metro 52-51 in Billings earlier this year). Everyone, including the players, knew that Alaska-Anchorage had already lost to Cal-State Sacramento on March 1 and that a win would mean the GNC title. Metro and Anchorage wound up tied with 8-2 GNC records, but Metro has a better NCAA Division II record, the second tie-breaker after head-to-head (Anchorage and Metro split) competition. The tension lasted until about midway through the first half when the Raodrunners stung the Yellowjackets with a 15-4 run in the final 9:35. The celebration on the court started then, but it took the form of alley-oop slams and fast break razzle-dazzle. Now Metro, ranked third in the nation in the last Division II poll, has to play a waiting game. On Sunday, March 11, the NCAA will announce the sites for the regional playoffs, and Metro will know if its bid to

Montana Yellowjackets 104-62 on March

"We've been working for this for five

years," Metro coach Bob Hull said. "It's just a lot of hard work, a lot of sweat, a lot of practice time ... these guys really played well." That's a bit of an understatement. The Roadrunners played on a different level than the Yellowjackets. Four of Metro's starters were playing their final game in the Auraria Gym and all four were big contributors. Mike Paulsen, a 6-foot-9-inch senior center, was dominant. He played with fire in his eyes, pulling down 15 rebounds, scoring 16 points and blocking two shots. He and Shun Tillman, Metro's 6-foot-7incb senior forward, were masterful on the inside, getting Eastern Montana's big gun, 6-foot-9-inch Jaysun Mims, in early foul trouble. Paulsen hit three straight buckets in the second half to push Metro's lead to 68-38, and when a Yellowjacket came out on Paulsen, that left Tillman free to roam the lanes. Tillman finished with 22 points to tie Gene Edwards, Metro's 6-foot-2-incb senior guard, for the team's high-scoring honors. "It feels great," Paulsen said, refering to Metro's first trip to the playoffs. "It didn't happen last year and this year we just concentrated on coming around and doing it." Paulsen doesn't feel the team's lack of playoff experience will hurt their chances in the regionals. "I don't think it's going to make any difference," Paulsen said. "All the guys on the team have played in the playoffs

before at different levels." Lewis Rhone, a 6-foot-3-incb forward and one of Metro's graduating seniors, played tight defense on last week's GNC player of the week, Troy Truvillion, and helped break down the Yellojackets' setoffense strategy. The Yellowjackets played slow-down ball in the two teams' earlier meetings and limited Metro to their lowest point total of the season. One of the reasons, besides Mims' foul trouble, was the bustling play of Edwards. He and Adrian Hutt, a 5-foot-9-incb junior guard, ran the break to perfection. During a span of 31 seconds in the second half, the 'Runners fast-break techniques disected the Yellowjackets' defense. On the first sequence, Hutt layed it in off a beautiful Edwards assist. The next time down, it was Edwards to Hutt to Ralph Rivers on a three-on-one break. Finally, Edwards took an alley-oop pass from Hutt and slammed it home.

"°'"

Those three plays capped a 17-5 run to start the second half and took all the fight out of the Yellowjackets. Hutt finished with 10 assists and four steals. Edwards was nine of 13 from the field and had seven rebounds. "Up there (in Billings) they played a slow- t• down game," Edwards said. "And up here we made them run. I just have to give the credit to the team. It was a whole team effort and Coach Hull did a helluva job." Now Metro enters the four-team North Central regional play-off. There are eight regions in Division II basketball. The winner of each region goes on to the elite-eight tournament. o
