-~ROTC charged with funding fraud Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

The ROTC Mile High Rangers will face a year of "fiscal malnutrition" from MSC if â&#x20AC;˘ the_Club Funding Committee decides to cut their funding. The Rangers may have falsified student identification information on their last request form to the CFC, in order to receive $1019 for a brigade competition in Arizona. The ., money went toward food and new sweatsuits for nine members, for five days. As a result, CFC Chair Mike Green said he will deny the Rangers any funding for the next fiscal year, and said he will recommend that they not be recognized as a standing club during that time.

- - -- -

In the request, ROTC Commander David Hasenbalg, a CU-Denver student, listed the nine members who were to attend the competition as being Metro students (the CFC's funds can only be used for Metro students). But after doing some checking with the registration computer, Green said at the March 13 CFC meeting, that he found that half of the students listed were, in fact, not Metro students, but University of Colorado at Denver and University of Denver students. ROTC Cadet Capt. Tamura Grant said she recently spoke to Hasenbalg and said that he confirmed the idea of the CFC funding for MSC students only.

Hasenbalg could not be reached for comment. "I'm quite sure that Dave was not paying attention," Capt. Dale Cremisio said, referring to the funding request from Hasenbalg. "There was absolutely no intent of any kind of fraud on our part." But Grant said ROTC's motives were not so pure. "I talked to a former Ranger commander, who is now my husband, and he told me that the only way to get funding (from CFC) is to lie, and they did it all the time," Grant said. ROTC Master Sgt. Robert Medina said some of the students involved in the Rangers are not Metro students because ROTC operates on a cross~nrollment agreement

made among Metro, CU-D and DU. As a club, Medina said ROTC is open to all students on the campus because Metro has the only ROTC program in Denver. Medina said that the Rangers were not aware of the stipulation that all members funded were required to be Metro students. The ROTC Rangers will have one week to supply a letter from the Dean of Prof~ sional Studies, and one from Admissions and Records, both stating that all nine students are enrolled at MSC, before action is taken. H not, the Rangers will face the charges brought up by Green, and have to pay the CFC $509 - half of the original sum they were funded. o

The University of Colorado atDenverSchoolofContinuing Education is offering a lecture series for anyone interested in the future of their own health care and for those facing the challenge of caring for aging parents. Lectures will be presen ted from 7 to 9 p.m., Tuesdays, April 3 to May 6, at the CU-Health Sciences Center, Psychiatric Auditorium, E. 8th Ave. at Ash. Made Yarlxxoogb,aCU-Denver philosophy professor, will present ''Moral Issues and Ethics in Health Care," addressing such issues as: Euthanasia - doctors are supposed to care for their patients - but how far do these obligations go in providing a comfortable death for those patients? Also, living wills what the elderly can do to ensure the kind of health care they can receive when they become unconscious or suffer from dementia (loss of intellectual capacity). Other topics will include: "The Ingredients for Succesmil Aging," "How to Cope Better with an Older Loved One," "Legal Issues in Aging: Problems and Where to Find Solutions," " How to Choose Quality Services for the Eldery" and a lecture by Steve Shwiff, managing director of the CUDenver National Leadership Institute on Aging. The fee for the lecture series is $29. For more information, call the CU-Denver School of Continuing Education, 5562735.

Students, instructors and administrators will need to shoulder the responsibility of improving the education system and regaining the dwindling confidence of the public, the Metropolitan Round Table agreed Monday, March 12. The four-member panel disagreed, however, on the means by which to achieve those goals. Included among the suggested solutions were more informative communication with students, stronger student dedication to the pursuit of a degree, stricter faculty policies and making the education system more sophisticated. Due to the limited time given to the panelists, they could not be specific in support of their assertions. Panel members of the 11th Round Table were Ben Monroe III of the department of human services, marketing professor Nancy Frontczak, music professor Hal Tamblyn and Robert Ha7.an of the political science department. Hazan replaced scheduled panelist Jett Conner who is out of town. MSC President Thomas Brewer served as moderator of the 90-minute discussion. Frontczak listed three things she said education should do: transmit a sense of history, establish a system of ethics and create skills. "The latter is probably the most important, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the first two," she said. Hazan noted that, while higher education should never substitute "feeling good" for "learning well,"

Ben Monroe Ill

Hal Tamblyn

students learn much better when they have a positive attitude. Monroe used the new Chrysler commercial as an analogy to the American education system. "Just as Chrysler and other American car companies have lost public confidence, so has the American education system," he said. "America needs to develop an education philosophy and make it known to students, teachers, administrators and the community." Tamblyn agreed that America bas lost its educational edge. "The responsibility for academic qiiality lies with all who toil within the academic institution," Tamblyn said. He added that the faculty is responsible for students' opinion of a "quality education." Frontaak suggested that instructors need to be tougher in the

classroom. "Faculty need(s) to be strict, yet compassionate," she said. "We have to stay focused on the subject and be committed to teaching." She said the broader and more well-rounded an education is, the better. Monroe agreed, but warned against a "fragmented" education. Hazan criticized the U.S. for its illiteracy problem. "Why does a world power like the United States have such a high illiteracy rate?" he asked. Monroe said although student interest is greater now than in past years, Metro has done a poor job of keeping students. Hazan said he would like to see a curriculum which would keep students from becoming bored. During the brief question and answer portion of the Round Table cfiscusgon, history professor Adolph

Grundman questioned whether student can get a valuable education in a lecture class of at least 50 students. Monroe said he thinks students can, and noted that, in other major colleges, c~ of 300 students are common. "Metro's classes really aren't that large," Monroe said. Neither Monroe nor Tamblyn said they equate teacher tenure with how well those instructors do theirjobs, although Monroe said it is more difficult to motivate teachers who have tenure than the other teachers. "I can sum it up in one word: respomibility," Frontaak said "No one is willing to accept the responsibility for providing and earning a quality education. All of us -5tudents, faculty, administrators - need to take the responsibility." 0

Racism charges hurled at Met Robyn G. Schwartz The Metropolitan

Black Student Alliance president Lisa Calderon said she thinks racism is a factor in The Metropolitan 's no-coverage ofthe BSA-sponsored panel discussion, "A Forum on Racism." The discussion was held after the viewing of Spike Lee's film "Do The Right Thing", on Monday, Feb. 19 and was co-sponsored by the MSC Political Science Association. "If you want an example of racism, that's an example ofracism," Calderon said of The Metropolitans omission of the story about the event. She said that it is not just the BSA members who are upset about the lack of coverage, but that other groups involved in the event were disturbed as well. Dr. Akbarali Thobhani director of intercultural studies, who sat on the panel at the forum, said he was upset because there was no previous announcement of the 7th Black World Conference, held on Feb.

28, although The Metropolitan did report on that event in it's March 9 issue. Thobhani said that The Metropolitan had been sent a press release.

would be to ensure press releases are submitted. She said she would print more BSA events if they were submitted. Calderon said she found it ironic that the coverage of that conference was on page 3 of The Metropolitan

Ll1a Calderon Gwen Estridge, calendar editor at The Metropolitan, said that she always tries to print every announcement she receives and that she bas called the BSA to ask for events schedules in the past. She said she only compiles what is submitted to her in writing by the deadline. She suggested the BSA asmgn a spokesperson whose job it

as she thinks that it was a more important story than the CoPIRG fee story which had front-page billing in that issue. Calderon said she plans to meet with The Metropolitans editor Dave Plank to ask for a formal explanation of the non-coverage of the forum. She said there are about 30 people from various minority groups on campus who are interested in attending such a meeting. She said she plans to meet with Plank Friday, March 16 or on the following Monday, March 19. However, as of Tuesday, March

12, Calderon said she had not yet been able to reserve a room for the

meeting. Plank said he had not heard from her about a time. MSC criminal justice professor Richard Jackson, who was the moderator for the panel discusmon, pointed out the lack of stories about all minority students. "I don't see how you can have an event this big and not print anything about it," Jackson said . He said that it had greater attendance than almost any other event on campus. He said be had beard that several minority student groups were forming a coalition for student representation of minorities on campus. Kate Lutrey, MSC director of Student Publications said that if a student has a complaint about the way the paper operates, they should go before the MSC Board of Publications. Plank said that most of his choices to omit stories from the paper are based oo space availability and that such was the case with the 0 omission of the forum story.

571-1000 LAMBADA WAR OF THE ROSES BLIND FURY JOE VS. THE VOLCANO HARD TO KILL BAD INFLUENCE MADHOUSE HANDMAIDEN'S TALE ..

FORBIDDEN DANCE LORD OF THE FLIES BLUE STEEL GLORY BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

United States Attorney Mike Norton says law enforcement alone is not the answer for winning the <war on drugs.' "I think it is important for law enforcement to be there, and for drugs to be illegal and for legaliz.ation efforts to be defeated," Norton said. "For us, as a society, to make a moral statement that drug trafficking and drug consumption is wrong will not alone do the trick. We have to have education, and we also have rehabilitation and I think those three pillars will ultimately provide the American people who want to have a drugfree society this drug-free society." Norton, who is the United States Attorney for Colorado, visited the Auraria Campus Friday, March 9, for a lecture titled "Mike Norton - On becoming a Leader." However, Norton's discussion focused on the history of the United States Attorney's office and crime and drugs in today's society. "I should loosen up the crowd by telling a joke and the only one I can think of at this particular moment is a lawyer-type joke. What is it that's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer?" Norton asked. "Well, it's a Doberman pinscher." Norton followed the joke with background about his position in government, stating that the office of the United State Attorney is as old as the Constitution.

"In 1789, the Judiciary Act created the office of the United States Attorney and at that time the Attorney General was also created as a total separate entity of the executive branch," Norton said. "Beginning in 1860, moves were made to establish the Attorney General as the chief law enforcement officer with authority over U.S. Attornies throughout the land," Norton said. "That became a reality through the Judiciary Act of 1870 and from that time forward, the U.S. Attorney has been part of the Department of Justice headed by the Attorney General." Norton expressed his views on the consistent pay of his position. "The salary hasn't changed much over 200 years. The $200-a-year it was first established at is much like teachers' and professors' salaries in our society today," Norton said. "It is kept far too low based on the importance that we have to society." Norton used numerous crime statistics to defend the importance of criminal law enforcement. "Crime takes the lives of over 20,000 Americans a year. It touches nearly a third of all American homes, which results in about $ lO billion-a-year in financial losses to· American citizens," Norton said. "I'm sure you've seen reports on the tremendous increase in cocaine-addicted babies. Some 280,000 babies with cocaine addictions were born in our country last

year," Norton said. A member of the audience was curious why Norton's speech did not cover the intended topic: "On becoming a Leader." "Your topic that you were supposed to talk about was being a leader and all you did was talk about drugs. Why? That has nothing to do with the topic I came to hear you speak on. I wanted to hear about how to become a more positive leader," she said. "I'm very sorry if anything I said offended you. I told you about what I felt was 4 important in today's society in relationship to what I do," Norton said. When the audience member insisted on getting an answer why Norton mainly discussed the drug war, Luz McClure, president of the Hispanic Leadership Association 4' stepped in. "Excuse me, he's a guest here. Please be kind and nice," McClure said. "He's our guest. He's the U.S. Attorney and he talks about drugs and I think that is important. That's his more important area of knowledge." • Norton briefly stated his beliefs on what he feels it takes to be a strong leader. "It doesn't matter what the job is that you're assigned, be it a custodial maintenance person or the president of the United States, or anywhere in between. Knowing what & your job is and doing it right and on time, with honor and integrity, is the way to succeed," Norton said. D

AHEC eyes Tivoli space Robyn Schwartz The Metropolitan

Jim Schoemer, AHEC interim vicepresident for Administration, said that the unleased space at the Tivoli shopping center is a possible solution to Auraria's lack of room on campus. "There is a good deal of space in Tivoli that is not used," Schoemer said. "We are exploring all options to solve our space problems at Auraria. The Tivoli is just one element in that plan."

Schoemer said that another possible option would be to lease more off-campus space. Schoemer said that he was unable to release any other information about Tivoli because of contractual agreements between the operators of the Tivoli shops and the Hahn Co., a San Diego-based management company that developed and operates the shopping center under a lease from Auraria campus. Auraria owns the land on which the Tivoli is built. Schoemer said that campus executives are now reviewing their contract with the Tivoli.

He said that further discussion of the issue could alarm the store operators under contract with the Hahn Co. The Tivoli complex is now about 55 percent leased, according to "Denver Post" busineess writer Jeffrey Leib, who attributed the information to Hahn officials. Larry Ambrose, director of development for AHEC, said that he knew nothing about the prospect and that he could refer The Metropolitn to other sources, but that nobody would release that information. o

Europe's economy changing Andy Glaess The Metropolitan

Americans will have to lose their isolationist attitude if the United States is to compete with an economically reunited Europe, a European communications expert maintains. Rainer Dimter, assistant director of the French American Study Center in Lisieux, France, told about 100 people at the St. Francis Center Thursday, March 8, that Americans would be foolhardy to ignore the potential of a common-market Europe. ''It is time for Americans to take a closer look at the world," Dimter said. "Only after learning other languages and learning to think in a different way, will they discover their role in the future. "Only 5 percent of American university students study a foreign language, and God knows how many can speak them well."

Although pleased with the political changes of the past few months, Dimter urged caution. "We cannot believe that Mr. Gorbachev woke up one morning and said 'Democracy is great,' " Dimter said. "The Soviets are passing the economic burden of the East to the West. "Eastern Europe is an economic shambles that the West must rebuild into self-sufficient, competitive countries. Dimter said that since the cold war is now over, the United States should tum the difference in its defense budget into aid for Eastern Europe. "The U.S. is not helping out very much," Dimter said. "So far they've only promised $300 million in aid. That's about 10 percent of what Israel receives, and only a fraction of the cost of a B-1 bomber. "We will have l~ expenses in our defense, so lets help them. The Eastern Europeans need something to eat." "Enthusiasm for the reunification of Europe is very high - it's difficult these

days to open a newspaper without reading of the unification in '92 - but there are still many problems to be taken care of,'' Dimter said. "For example, we still have a lot of disagreement between the Germans and the French over how to handle a general bank for all of the market nations. Many Germans are also against the use of a general European currency. The French, meanwhile, are trying to figure out how their state-operated economy is going to fare against free-market • competition," Dimter said. All of the question marks hanging over the reunification of Europe will eventually be solved when Europeans become more confident oftheir place in the world economic hierarchy, Ditmer said. "Europeans are growing more confident in their own capabilities, no longer relying so much on the U.S.," Dimter said. 'This will signal a decline in communication between Europe and America ifthe U.S. still waits for the world to come to them." o

Speaker stresses greenhouse threat Yvonne Barcewskl The Metropolitan

•

When it comes to anticipating the environmental impact of the greenhouse effect, it is better to be safe than sorry, said Warren Washington, an atmospheric scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder. At a meeting of Metro's chapter of the American Meteorological Society Tuesday, March 13, Washington discussed the greenhouse effect and the role of computers in studying atmospheric changes. Although there are many variables influencing the greenhouse effect, policy makers should be planning now for climatic

changes that may occur if the temperture of the atmosphere continues to increase, he said. The greenhouse effect occurs when increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trap heat, which has been generated by sunlight reflecting off the Earth's surface, Washington said. The result is an increase in the mean temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, he added. Washington said the burning of fossil fuels and the depletion of forests have contributed to the increased levels of carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, such as methane, has been increasing at a rate of I percent, per year, he added. If that rate of increase continues, he said, the amount of greenhouse

Atmospherlcsclentlst Warren Washington

gases in the atmosphere will have doubled by the year 2050. If that happens, the temperature of the climate will increase by between 3 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit, Washington said. Since 1960, the mean temperature of the climate has risen by onehalf of a degree, he added. "Keep in mind that the difference in th... climate from now to the last ice age is on the order of 3 to 5 degrees," he said. "And it caused an enonnous change in terms of biosphere and plant life. A wanning of the climate on that same amount is a huge change." Washington has served on the President's National Advisory Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere and has spoken before Congress about the greenhouse effect. He said that one of the questions politicians ask him is, 'How is the greenhouse effect going to affect my district?' " It is a question that is hard to answer. Washington said that the computer models used to calculate climatic changes that might occur due to the greenhouse effect cannot represent all of the variables of real atmospheric pr~. Those variables include topography, soil moisture, cloud formation, wind and changes in the salinity and temperature of the oceans. Even using the largest, most complex computer it takes thousands of hours of computer time to carry out even one of the experiments necessary to calculate the greenhouse effect, Washington said. Other than to say that "there might be some people who will benefit from the greenhouse effect and some who won't," Washington hesitated to speculate on the

specific impact that the phenomenon might have on environmental, political and economic systems. "But if you're a pessimist, you shouldn't be in this business," he said. However, in the book "The Greenhouse Effect," author and meteorologist Harold Bernard wrote that climatic changes due to the greenhouse effect might initially include a return to weather patterns evident in the 1930s. During that time, a severe drought ravaged the Great Plains and Midwest. At the same time, hurricane and tropical storm activity increased dramatically in the Atlantic and Caribbean Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, he wrote. "One need only to look at recent severe winters to realize how vulnerable economy, commerce and even politics are to the vagaries of the weather," Bernard wrote. "Agriculture, especially, is highly sensitive to climatic change, and the greenhouse threat holds frightening possibilities for our midwestern breadbasket." "We can cut down on the use of fossil fuels and stop cutting down the trees," Washington said. Although he stressed there is still much to be learned about the mechanics of the greenhouse effect and its environmental impact, that 'should not keep policy makers from formulating plans to deal with the problems the phenomenon might cause. "Politicans of the country need to start thinking hard about the future," Washington said. "There are a lot of areas in public policy where we don't know the answers, but we still start doing something." o

"I can work out as often as I like without paying $500 to join a health spa," Katherine MacNamara, a class participant, said. People work out at their own pace. "Our class is everybody doing their own thing all together," Shelly Wieseler, the program's coordinator, said Wieseler, 24, a Metro sophomore majoring in international studies, took over the program last year. At that time, the recreation center had three instructors, classes Monday through Friday at noon and two evening classes. Since then, the center has added three instructors and additional cl~. The Tuesday and Thursday noon sessions have been extended from an hour to an hour-and-ahalf to give time for additional exercises. Two evening classes and a Saturday morning class were also added. Another change in the program is the addition of a male instructor. "I wanted to show that men are doing aerobics too," Wieseler said. "He has a little

different style than mine and it adds to the program." Aerobics itself has changed, Wieseler said. Ten years ago it was exclusively high impact, which involved a lot of jumping. Five years ago it switched to low impact, which involved doing hip and knee bends. Studies show that more injuries result from doing one or the other exercise exclusively, she said. Now aerobics is a combination of high and low impact techniques, she said. "When you do a combination of the two, it reduces the stress on your body and cuts the probability of an injury." Because aerobics is constantly changing, Wiesler and her staff are continually updating their education. Wieseler received her aerobic certification two years ago from the International Dance and Exercise Association of San Diego. To become certified, she explained, she had to know anatomy and physiology, study a 400-page book and pass a five-hour test. Certified instructors also must know cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She said she believes it's a good idea to know first aid too. To keep her certification current, she's required to complete 15 hours of classes every two years at IDEA workshops. In addition to this, she's always looking for new workshops for her and her staff to attend. She atteo.ds one to two workshops a month. Her staff attends one to two a see Aerobics pg. 17

This is my second semester at MSC and I don't really kno± that much about it ... I think it needs to be clearly laid out · all the publications that Metro puts out, unbiased statemen about what each one represents. And if (the voting pr~ is) an organized, easy thing to do, because if it's really bard no one will want to go out of their way to do it.Yes, I'll vote.

LETTERS EDITOR'S NOTE:

Fit To Be Tied By John C. Roper To ASMSC Sens. David Lloyd Beal, Angie Binder, Greg, Marsha, Peter, Jan, Bobby, Cindy and Gilligan: In last week's Metropolitan. Sens. Beal and Binder, D-Onagoodreportcard, Colo., expressed their disagreement with my March 2 column in a lettter to the editor directed to yours truly. The column they differed with was about how degrading it is to have a student government whose antics are about as pleasant as having bad gas while you're wearing a space suit. My solution was to abolish the student government. Beal and Binder agreed that there have been some problems in the past but wish for us not to "abandon" them, but support them. Their letter starts out: "Surely you've been a little hasty with your Declaration of Independence." First of all, don 't call me Shirley. Second, ... "HASTY?" How can I, or any one of the hundreds (thousands?) of dissatisfied, and yes, embarrassed , students be HASTY in our desire that our student REPRESENTATIVES not be possibly racist, certainly superficial, ALLEGEDLY gun-toting, undoubtedly unprofessional and matter-of-factly foul mouthed? You assure us in your letter that there are "brilliant people" representing us "with a firm understanding of their stewardship and charge." Sure, that's what they said about the Nixon administration. Believe me, I've seen more brilliance while watching a dog chase its tail. I pulled out my trusty Webster's Unabridged Dictionary and looked up the word "steward." It says, "drunk; inebriated. [slang)." Oops!! That's "stewed." Ahhh, here we are. "Steward, n. 1. a man entrusted with the management of the household or estate of another; one employed to manage the domestic affairs, superintend the servants, collect the rents or income, keep the accounts, etc." If that's what student government is for, let's just hire Aunt Bea to run the show. Why not? Barney has already ALLEGEDLY run around campus with a bullet in his pocket, I had Miss Crump for English last semester, Clara Edwards heads our bookstore, and I saw Floyd and Goober chanting and beating drums out on the commons the other day. You've asked me to reconsider my comments, and I will ... just as soon as you prove to me and the rest of the student population that what you have accomplished, if anything, is worthwhile. Frankly, if you do manage to dig up any minor contribution you may have made to anything but your own resumes, it would be overshadowed by the dark cloud you've created which hovers over Metropolitan State College of Denver, or what ever our school's name is now. Support you, or abort you? Show us that you CAN make a difference. Show us that you can do something other than hurt the integrity of the school. Show us that you can overcome the obstacles that you have laid out in front of you and can do something for the betterment of our education. Show us that you will be mature and responsible and professional in your duties. Show us that the color of a person doesn't matter. Show us that all of the shenanigans that we've seen from you this year should only be seen in B-rated sitcoms. Show us that you care.

In the Feb. 23 issue of The Metropolitan , a letter from Barb Ferril of the CoPIRG Board of Directors was headlined " Republicans anti-CoPIRG." CoPIRG wishes to stress that the

letter was specifically about College Republicans, who are somewhat to the right of traditional Republicans, and not the Republican party as a whole. The Metropolitan regrets the misunderstanding.

CoPIRG urges 'no' vote Editor, CoPIRG offers students an invaluable opportunity to get involved in environmental and consumer issues by working on campus projects, and affecting publi c policy by giving students a voice in the State Capitol. No other program on campus offers students this kind of opportunity. This semester, active members are working on numerous projects including Earth Day 1990. CoPIRG is bringing the founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson, to Metro to speak during Earth Week , along with many other speakers and events. An environmental audit will be performed on the Auraria Campus assessing all types of wastes and energy use. Students will then make recommendations based on the data collected . There will also be a teach-in, tree planting and a pledge drive.

National Student Hunger and Homelessness Clean-Up by assisting local shelters and raising funds and materials for the needy. A group is working with Denver City Council member Dave Doering on a chlorofluorocarbon ban ordinance wh ich will reduce the use of and increase recycling of ozone depleating chemicals. On the state level, CoPIRG is lobbying for state use of recycled paper and insurance reform , while working for a strong national Clean Air Act. There is a refer rend um question on the spring election ballot that, if passed , will el iminate CoPIRG's funding and there by eliminate CoPIRG and al l of it's projects on this campus. This would be a VERY BAD DEAL for Metro students who would lose this unique and powerful resource. It is very important that, in order to keep CoPIRG at Metro, everyone who their support and vote NO April 3, 4 and 5 on this referrendum.

CoPIRG is working hard on a campus-wide recycling project, and other students will be participating in the

McPhee~

letter despicable

Editor, In the last issue of The Metropolitan , you printed Mr. Robert McPhee's rebuttal to an article by professor Jett Conner which had appeared in the " Rocky Mountain News;" but to my amazement, professor Conner's article was not published in that issue where the rebuttal appeared. This absurd judgement on your part denied your readers the opportunity to evalutate Mr. McPhee's interpretation of professor Conner's article. [This mistake was corrected in the March 2 issue, where both letters were printed together- Ed] To set the record straight, I must note that professor Conner did not assert, as Mr. McPhee erroneously claims, that socio-economic and pol itical conflicts are self-correcting. Moreover, professor Conner did not argue that we need not confront the problems of the '80s in the upcoming decade. Professor Conner's article essentially focused on a brief comparison between the decades of the '50s and the '80s, in order to explore whether the "60s-style activism" could recur in the '90s. The argument here was that the trends and

Editor News Editor Features Editor Copy Editor Editorial Asslsllnt

developments of the '80s were not analogous to the cultural and political renaissance of the '50s, thus, in the '90s, professor Conner noted, contrary to the '60s, the emergence of an "era of political awareness and activism" was unlikely. One final comment! In reference to Mr. Robert McPhee's style of expression I would like to point out that it is arrogant, insulting and despicable. Mr. McPhee, in his rebuttal , implies that his senseless attack on the intellectual integrity of professor Conner is justified simply because professor Conner, in his article, has omitted a discussion on corruption of America. Well, Mr. McPhee, trust me in that professor Conner is a highly talented and dignified educator who has a sharp understanding of the problems facing our society. Therefore, it should come to you as no surprise that you do have "political friends" serious in attempting to resolve the problems you discuss in your rebuttal, here at the Auraria campus!

•• . METRO POLITAN

March 16, 1990

One more chance for student gov't They say a fish rots from the head down. MSC Student Government elections are upon us again. Hopes are high, nowhere more so than in The Met office, that this year's elections won't degenerate into the same Romper Room game of who called whom what first. Everyone in student government seems to be .,.. willing to do what they must to keep it from happening two years in a row. Bravo. Now, may we modestly suggest one more thing they might think about? One of the most hotly contested issues of the last election was the practice of writing oneself in on the ballot for more than one position, presumably so that if • you lose your bid for president (or whatever) you can still be a senator. It would seem, at least to us, that whether the practice itself is right or wrong is really a secondary issue. What the ASMSC really ought to be worried about is the message they are sending to the student body and, ·'- more importantly, the student government members that will be serving for the first time next year. Hope, maybe mixed with more than a little naivete, tells us that people who get involved in college politics do it for one reason - to make a difference. They do it because they want to leave things just a little better than they found them.

Then why do the majority of our elected student officials make us think they are only there on an ego exercise, with the added bonus of resume fodder thrown in? It's because freshman senators get in, full of enthusiasm and ready to do some real work. Then they get hit in the face with the garbage that others, who have been around a while, keep bringing back every year. The real roadblock to a productive student government, we would contend, is not the intention of the people who make it up. Rather, it is the contagious nature of the pettiness and self-aggrandizement that are the first things a newly elected student government official sees. It is only a matter of time before the frustration gets to be too much and someone who had good intentions at the beginning says "why fight it," and gives up. Of the 25 people who were elected to senate offices last year, fewer than half are left. Those who have quit were replaced by appointment. It is not as if someone who lost their bid for the presidency would be unable to get back into student government over the course of the year, as long as they really wanted to. A desire to serve should be the most important qualifying factor anyway. This year there is one candidate who is running for

student body president, as well as seats on, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and the senate. What kind of signal do you suppose that sends to those around them that are really interested in making difference? Maybe that this whole student government thing isn't to be taken seriously? It's time some of our elected representatives start worrying about something beside covering the bases. Say what you will about the apathy that pervades this campus. Offer up as many excuses as you will for not doing what you know is right. It's true, almost nobody votes. But getting just one vote gives you an obligation to do your best. And you aren't fulfilling that obligation right now. So, here is a chance to do something right. For as long as any of you have been in office, MSC Student Government has been a body struggling to be taken seriously. Right now, nobody expects anything of you but what you've given them for as long as they can remember. The real question is, what do all of you expect from yourselves?

METROPOLITAN STATE COLLEGE Department of Modem Languages and Language and Culture Institute

What was the "Neoteric Puff''? Who is Genevieve Fiore? What was the name of Colorado's internment camp for JapaneseAmericans during World War II? If you do not know the answers to those questions, you can find out from the staff at the Auraria Library Archives and Special Collections Department. The department documents the activities of the Auraria campus and collects special materials such as manuscripts, papers, tapes and photographs that support and supplement the general collections ofthe Auraria Library, Rutherford Witthus, head of the Archives Department said. Information for the department's collections comes from three areas - campus institutions, manuscripts and memorabilia from individuals and organiz.ations, and books about Denver's history. The institutional archives contain 250 boxes of materials related to the operation of Metro State, CU-Denver, Community College of Denver and Auraria Higher Education Center. The materials include newspapers, governing board minutes, publications, catalogs, schedules, budgets and student theses. It is here you will find copies of the "Neoteric Puff', which was the name of Metro's newspaper in 1967. "As far as the institutional archives, one of the most fascinating things is the Metropolitan State College newspaper and the name changes it's gone through," Witthus said. "It really started out as a real radical '60s sort of feel." But as the student movement became more conservative, so did the newspaper, he added. The institutional archives also contain copies of minutes from board meetings such

as those conducted by the student senate and AHEC. "One of the nice things about an institutional archives is that it is neutral territory," Witthus said. "You don't have to go to someone's office, who is involved with making a decision, in order to read about the decision." The manuscript and memorabilia collection focuses on the subjects of civil liberties in Colorado and state and local policy. Here you will find information about "Amache", the internment camp for Japa- • nese-Americans which was located in Granada, Colo. from 1942 to 1946. There is also a collection of speeches and memorabilia from Genevieve Fiore. Fiore is an activist for international women's rights, Witthus said. "She is known as the talkingest -1 woman in Denver and gives more speeches, to more groups, than any other person in the city does," he added. Another interesting collection came from the Institute for Radical Studies, Witthus said. "The Institute for Radical Studies was a Denver-based clearinghouse for draft resisters during the 1960s and '70s," he said. "It subscribed to every radical newspaper in the country. There are about 800 different newspapers in the Institute's collection. And 70 of those were from Colorado." Other collections contain information on the Ninth Street Historical Park and reports and newsletters from conservative tbinktanks that research issues of national interest such as abortion and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Although the Archives Department bas a variety of manuscripts and memorabilia from individuals and organiz.ations, its book collection is limited. There is a small collection of books on rheteroic. "If we have any rare books, I guess those are the ones," Witthus said. But most of the book collection pertains to Denver's history. For example, there is an extensive collection of Denver city directories going back to the early 1900s. "People use those a lot for researchig family histories," he said. So if you need information about the Auraria campus, its colleges or local history, or if you just want to take a trip back in time, visit the Auraria Library Archives and Special Collections Department. It is located on the second floor of the Auraria Library and is open weekdays from 1to5 p.m. o

Modern dance a big joke •

Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

Some of Colorado's best-known choreographers and dancers combined forces March 10 and 11 to produce the 1990 Colorado ~, Choreographers Showcase. The performance marked the beginning of a collaboration between the Colorado Dance Alliance, a service organization for the art of dance in Colorado, and Colorado Contemporary Dance. Many of CCD's activities are designed to introduce dance to "" new audiences. While maybe not new to dance, the crowd of about 250 people at the Shwayder theatre Sunday night seemed to enjoy the repartee between choreographer Alan Lommasson and his dance partner Lynn Slaugh- ter. They performed Lommaswn's "Personal Geography," a dance which, Slaughter said, was originally named "Autograph," and only has a title because it needs to. Hein simple grey sweats, she in a t-shirt and Lycra tights, Lommasson and Slaughter addr~ the audience with miscellaneous topics ranging from the comments of a four-year-old to what people are really thinking about a male dancer's white tights. Between barbs at life, they danced with seemingly overexaggerated exertion. "I'm not improvising - are you impro• vising?" said Lommasson, mocking some peoples' reactions to modem dance. Slaughter swiftly told an anecdote while gasping for breath. "They said the audience gasped when the

ballerina fell, not because she fell, but because she said the 'f-word' when she did it." Ba-dum-pum. One could almost hear the drums in this slapstick-style dance, but instead Slaughter and Lommasson clapped or slapped the floor between jokes. They danced through another set At one point she waited, hunched over, for Lommasson to come Lift her up. Meanwhile he acted like he'd forgotton what he was doing and wandered all over the stage while she hopped repeatedly in the air, each time expecting him to be there. "Remember, this is a cultural event,'' they reminded the laughing audience. "My dad was an engineer,'' Lommasson said. ''My brothers and sisters are all engineers ... I'm not!" Quite a shift from "Geography," Kim Robards' "At First Glance" was performed by four dancers to the glorious melody of Vivaldi's Cello Concerto in A Minor; Robards, Amy Anderson, LaRana Skalicky and Tricia Brouk. The four were dressed in shimmering springtime dresses against alabaster legs. One could almost see the deep green forest as these woodland sprites of dance celebrated the secrets of spring. Their dresses were toga-like. The women gathered, exchanging womanly secrets, then broke away, intoxicated by Vivaldi's spell. The music almost acted as a magnet as the tempo quickened to a heart-stopping climax and the dancers met, leaping together at center stage. The next piece set a much heavier tone. Choreographer Franca Telesio was trained in England in Martha Graham-style contemporary dance, and has danced with the London Contemporary Dance Theatre and in Caracas, Venezuela. In "In Search Of," the curtains parted and Telesio was curled up on the stage floor. An ominous sound, what seemed like a ball and chain being dragged, filled the theatre, accompanied by a solemn, heavy, military march. As these sounds blended into a score titled "Spanish Saeta," Talesio rose, her hands covering her eyes. This was followed by a powerful Liturgy which rose and fell with emotion. Telesio danced, a dramatic figure controlled by the forces of oppression. 111 Dineen

Striking in appearance, she wore a purple bodysuit with a chiffon overlay which functioned as pants. At one point in her dance, she stood and did straight kicks, kicking at her bonds, becoming a blur of multicolored chiffon as one foot repeatedly jutted into the air. The music lightened and began to sound like a chorus. It's Debussy's, "Catedral Engloutie." The chains began again, a bell tolled, an endless military march as Telisio sank to the floor. After intermission, a group of six dancers performed "No Way In," choreographed by Elizabeth S. Lee. Set to the popular j1112. tune "Earthbound," by the Rippingtons, the audience seemed to love it. Almost M-TV style, the dancers worked their way out of a backdrop that looked like strips of black rubber, an asphalt jungle of sorts. The dancers' costumes made them look like people from the underground and added to the urban effect. They blasted onstage in a no-holds-barred, thoroughly aggressive, dance full of leaps and twirls. Looking alm<N like female Ninja warriors, the dancers wore black bodysuits with tight black hoods, a Chinese motif slithering up the side and on the backs of their hoods. They wore flat, metallic-looking shoes, giving them a low, squat, fighting appearance. Tbe music, rather "Rocky-esque" at times, was upbeat and powerful. They conquered the stage, confronting the audience with moves slightly reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video. As the music ended, the dancers crawled back into their asphalt jungle amidst fervent applause. ''They Were Right" was a rather abstract comment on dance, literally. Jane Franklin,

and "complex," performed solo to a rhythm ofjust a few simple beats. As she danced, she continually ran her hand through her hair in a casual manner, creating an aura of distraction. "They told me ... many years ago .. , that I had no dynamic range," she told the crowd, moving her body awkwardly back and forth in a restricted range of motion. "They told me ... that I had left my pelvis behind." Another clumsy attempt at movement, and then she said, in an effort to satisfy her critics, "I became a master ... at ... repitition." "And ... at minimal movement," she said, moving minimally. Abstractly following her thumb offstage, she came to a revelation, "They probably ... were right." The next and last dance, "Clandance," was utterly mesmerizing in its joyous interpretation of the continuance of life. The dancers transformed, at times, into animals - at one moment amphibian, the next, Egyptian. Performed to the new age sounds of the band Tri Atma, the tune sounded like music from a Turkish harem with definite reggae overtones. The dancers wore beachwear of turquoise, purple and teal green cotton pants, slitted on the sides, over lycra exercise clothes. Tbe combination of the colors and lighting worked nicely with the dance's warm and pa>itive theme. At the end, they came together in a circle of worship and spun while holding hands. The women, who were at first looking outward, almost imperceptibly shifted inside the circle. The audience rose, somewhat reluctantly, after the show to go to the reception, lured by "desserts to die for," and a chance to meet the dancers. D

'Mankind' one of a kind Gregory Richards The Metropolitan

I always thought that documentaries were boring and depressing pieces of nostalgia. Something about which a filmmaker said, "Hey, this is such a great cause, the world needs to know about it." And, of course, the message was the only thing clear about the film. So when I sat in the theatre, waiting for "For All Mankind" to start, I asked myself why I was there in the first place. Yet, after it was finished, I was excited about this film! "For All Mankind" is about the Apollo missions to the moon. Director Al Reinert transferred the films shot on these expeditions onto 35 mm film (a very expensive process) and interwove the images to depict a single mission, from lift-off to lunar landing. Reinert was able to interview 13 of the 24 astronauts who partook in these voyages and mixed their comments over the spectacular visuals. (An interesting note is that only one of the 24 is still an astronaut). The picture reminded me of my childhood. I always had a desire to travel through space (though some of my teachers would concur that I have in their classes). I remembered sitting in front of a black and white television set, watching as our American flag was planted in the moon's crust. Can you remember where you were at that time? Probably huddled in front of the tube as well. The missions were during the years of 1968 and 1972, also an historic time for something completely different, the Vietnam conflict. But from hundreds of thousands of miles away, the Earth looked like a beautiful blue marble, so peaceful and quiet. "For All Mankind" has been nominated for a Best Documentary Award at the

The Women's History of the World Rosalind Miles· Salem House, $18.95 cloth Men dominate history because they write it. Women's vital part in the shaping of the world has been consistently undervalued or ignored. Rosalind Miles now offers a fundamental reappraisal that challenges all previous world histories and shatters cherished illusions on every page. Starting with women in prehistory, she looks beyond the myth of 'Man the Hunter' to reveal women's central role in the survival and evolution of the human race. She follows their progress from the days when God was a woman through the triumphs of the Amazons and Assyrian war queens; she looks at the rise of organized religion and the growing oppression of women ; she charts the long, slow struggle for women's rights and finally presents a vision of women breaking free. Redefining the concept of historical reality, this volume overturns our preconceptions to restore women to their rightful place at the center of the worldwide story of revolution, empire, war and peace.

THE

· 'M'&th Day' gives

calculators workout Andy Glaess The Metropolitan

A group of academic pacesetters finally met its match. While chewing pencils, pulling hair and 4 ' hurriedly manipulating calculator keys, 47 students from metro area high schools participated in the fourth annual Metropolitan State College Math Day on Thursday, March 8. Math Day is a competition among some of the Denver area's best young students in team and individual events. It's sort of a Super Bowl of math. Each student takes a written exam lasting an hour-and-a-half and then joins classmates in battle against other schools. "We send out invitations to the high schools, inviting each school to bring up to 12 students to compete," Jose Cisneros, a Metro math and computer science teacher, said. "The kids they bring are the cream of the crop academically." Many of this year's participants have been awarded scholarships to schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale and Harvard. Prior to the competition, the young students were relaxed and confident, more concerned with getting another complimentary doughnut than with memorizing geometry or plotting team strategies. "If nothing else, this is a good way to get out of clas.s," Tory Toupin, 18, a senior at Heritage High School, said.

Toupin is .the Joe Montana of the high school numbers game. The son of a selftaught electrical engineer, and younger brother of a Metro computer science student, he plans to get a Ph.D. in math theory and is a quietly self-assured, though not cocky, competitor. "I've done something like this at CSU and there were a lot of really smart people. So we'll just see what we can do," Toupin said.

'If nothing else. this Is a good way to get out of class.' What he wound up doing is dominating the individual testing and leading his Heritage High School classmates to victories in both the algebra and geometry team competitions. For many of the other students, this was the first time things didn't add up. For them, getting the high score is a usual occurence. "I tried like hell, but I guess it wasn't enough today," said Neal Sondheimer, a Manual High School student. In the end, everyone agreed that it had been a fun and worthwhile experience. "I thought there was a really good mix of problems; some were fairly tough, but not that hard," Toupin said while passing his trophy among his classmates. D That's easy for him to say.

semester. "I want people to know we have enthusiastic instructors who are serious and care about what they're doing," Wieseler said In addition to having qualified instructors, Wieseler said, there are several benefits to the aerobics program. "Once you get your body in shape, it helps your mind and you feel better about yourself. You do better in your job and in your school work," she said. "Someone may begin coming to class wearing sweatpants because they don't want to reveal their body, and later in the semester change to wearing leotards or shorts." One of the main things about the class is having fun, she said. "On Halloween I dressed up and played some scary, creaky, rickety, howling music. For Christmas, I played 'Rocking Around the Christmas Tree' and John Cougar's 'I Saw Momma Kissing Santa Claus.' We all had fun and got in the spirit. For Easter, I'm even Lip for dressing as an Easter bunny." The classes are safe, fun and informative, MacNamara said. "The level of exercise is correct for me," Greg Dean, a Metro junior said.

Renee Ruderman, developer for the Freshman Year Program, said, "I have to have my fix of exercise every day and Shelly leads us into a good workout." More changes in the aerobics program may be coming, if there is enough interest and available space, Wieseler said. These programs could include an aerobics class for the handicapped, a water aerobics clas.s and a body sculpting class. "Shelly's real highenergy and wants to do some things," said Anne McKelvey, Recreation Center associate director. Evening aerobic classes meet Monday and Wednesday at 5:15 in the west gymnasium, and Tuesday and Thurday at 5:15 in the dance studio, on the second floor on the pool side. Wiesler said many people aren't aware of all the activities the recreation center offers. In addition to aerobics, the center offers swimming and weight facilities, racquetball, intramural sports, river rafting, kayaking and downhill and cross-country skiing. Many activities are free to students because the activities are covered by their student activity fees. Other activities cost from $5 to $20. For more information about teaching aerobics, about the classes or other activities, D call 556-3210.
