Club funding controversy continues Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

Confusion still plagues the issue of the Mile High Rangers' $1,000 funding.

The controversy centers on whether students cross-enrolled at Metro from CUDenver should receive funds from Metro student fees.

Earlier this month, the Metro Student Government's Club Funding Committee funded the Rangers' $1,019. Afterward CFC chair, Sen. Mike Green, discovered that half of the students listed on the funding request form were not registered Metro students.

While Metro administrators, ROTC personnel and student government members all agreed in a meeting Wednesday, March 28, that the Rangers did not purpooely falsify the funding request, they did not agree whether the CU-Denver club members should have received money from Metro student fees.

The money was for a brigade competition in Arizona, which nine club members at-

tended.

All members of the Rangers are enrolled

in MSC's military science department in which several CU-Denver students are cras&enrolled and do not pay Metro student fees.

"I would encourage students who are enrolled in [the Rangers] to get (financial) support from their (own) institutions," said Yolanda Eriksen, director of Student Activities.

Green had threatened not to fund the Rangers next year as punishment, but has now said the whole committee will make a recommendation to the Student Affairs Board on a policy for the funding of crossenrolled students in general.

The CFC can only make a recommendation to the SAB which will, in turn, pass it on the vice president of Student Affairs, then the president of Metro. The CFC can not make policy, said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs.

Thorpe agreed with Eriksen that contributions should be expected from students' home institution when they are cross-enrolled and belong to a club at another school.

According to Eriksen, it is a fairly simple procedure to get funding from the home

institution.

"Perhaps we need to look at new options with the other students," Dean ofProf~ional Studies, Arlene Vigil, said Vigil said that maybe there should be a flat fee for students enrolled at other institutions who want to get involved in a Metro club.

In general, there are more Metro students at CU-Denver than there are CU-Denver students at Metro, said Ken Curtis, Dean of Admissions.

"Probably we shouldn't support other students at Metro," Curtis said. "But if a Metro student takes a pooled class at UCO, and they don't pay fees there, this becomes a two-way street."

MSC Student Government Vice President Bill Jermance agreed saying, "We cannot penalize them. Given the give and take, it is totally reasonable that they (CU-Denver students) should share in this."

Penalizing student who are enrolled at in a class in an institution that is not offered at their home institution isn't fair, Vigil said, and there should at least be some options.

But Bruce Williams, CU-Denver director of Student Life, said, "My personal philosophy is that UCO is not to send Metro students anywhere with UCO student fees."

Williams said taking a pooled course does not entitle a student to privileges of CUDenver student fees.

However, Lt. Col. Larry Tatum from the military science department at Metro, said

that every ROTC cadet is looked upon as a Metro student even if enrolled in another school under the cross-enrollment agreement.

Whatever the outcome, it was discussed that the Rangers will not be punished next year for mistakes made this year.

"I believe that everyone in the meeting came to the general consensus that it was an honest mistake, a misunderstanding, and that, most likely, they will not be penalized," Amy Montoya, CFC co-chair, said "This was a very gray area that CFC has never had to deal with before. Hopefully, through ironing this out, we can eliminate any future problems." o

Presidential candidates and their running mates debated the issues in an open forum Monday, March 26, stating their views on changing student government and its communication with Metro students.

Current ASMSC Vice President Bill Jermance and Sen. Jeremy Stuhl fired questions at the five candidates and their running mates at the Student Union. Apparently, no one was notified of the event, because fewer than 10 people sat in the audience.

The candidates and their running mates are Dave Chandler, Jeff Albright; Michael Green, Amy Montoya; Geraldine Madrid, Meichell Walsh; Kelly Mary Martin, Danial A. Holden; Linda Lockett, Gregory Brewer; and Michael Jones, Erick Fransen.

The candidates were given one minute for opening statements, each responding in a similar tone of changing student government and working clooer with the students.

"The reason I'm running is because of what was printed in The Metropolitan this past year," Chandler said "There was controversy and scandal about this student government."

Green said he wanted to get in touch with the students, and said

he felt he could do "a better job" because of his current relations with them. ''When you have no relations with the students, how can you effectively lead themr• Green said.

"You need to look at the students' needs and not your own."

Madrid said she also wanted to work more with the students.

"I want to change this student government to be more studentoriented," Madrid said.

In keeping with this, Madrid said she wanted to provide, for the students at Metro, informationservices, student service forums, seminars and workshops, and set up a student lawyer program.

"I want to work on improving the image of the college," Madrid said.

Incumbent Kelly Martin used the platform of experience, saying that leaderstup comes trom experience, which is what she and her running mate have. ..As the current ASMSC president, 1 am not happy with the status quo," Martin said "What I see is change."

Newcomer Linda Lockett said she wanted to reach out to the students who knew nothing about student government.

"I want to work on making life on campus much better," Lockett said. Working on the ASMSC

budget and childcare services were also mentioned in her opening statements.

Jones said he would institute "executive advisers," if elected, to help keep him informed on what is going on with the students.

"My first priority is to maintain contact with the students," Jones · 1mproved parking was also said on his agenda. Although he offered no solutions, he said he would have some by next fall.

The question of the n~ity of CoPIRG drew the candidates into the arena. All but Jones supported CoPIRG's efforts.

"CoPIRG is a private group, they are not a part of this campus," Jones said. "I don't want CoPIRG funded through the students' fees."

Jones said if he could, he would try to get another organization like CoPIRG on campus that did not use the students' fees to stay afloat.

Although Martin said she was in favorofCoPIRG,shesaidshewas more concerned with the students' response to them.

Green said that he felt the negative check off was something the students should answer, even though he said he felt that CoPIRG was·a "viable operating machine."

Addressing communication, the candidates posed ideas of print-

ing a monthly student newsletter to let the students know what is going on in student government.

"Servicing the students is what it's all about," Madrid said when asked how, as president, she planned to communicate better with the students.

ButMartinsaidthatthepresident must have the backbone to stand up for what is important, in terms of communication. Martin said she would create a student out-reach program, and provide a monthly newsletter as well. To carry out some of the "marketing" duties, Martin said she has created an administrative aid position.

Lockett came up with a different idea for communicating with the students.

"Our plan is to ask what students want through direct mail, polling at registration and printing fullpage ads in The Metropolitan," Lockett said.

The drop fee was also thrown at the candidates for discussion.

Lock tt 'd 5h , ha e wasn t PPY e sai with the drop fee and was going to investigate it.

"Why do we have to lose money to go to school?" Lockett said.

Although Martin said it was a purposeful east, she said she felt the amount of the fee could be lowered see Debate pg. 28

Racism charge unresolved Robyn G. Schwartz The Metropolitan

Lisa Calderon, president of MSC's Black Student Alliance, and members of the Students of Color Coalition met with the editor of The Metropolitan, Dave Plank, Friday, March 16, to air concerns about pos.5ible racism in The Metropolitan 's handling of BSA events.

Calderon addressed Plank at the meeting about a specific article that had been written about a Black History Month event, "A Forum on Racism," but had not been printed in The Metropolitan.

Calderon said that she had been told by two unidentified Met reporters that the story was not printed because of remarks she had made about The Metropolitan at that event.

"It was my understanding that the story was not printed because of my remarks that there was nothing regarding Black History Month (February) covered that the BSA had done ... and I said (at the Forum) that since there were white folks in the room that I thought The Met would cover that event."

Plank said that the story was slated but that it came in late so another story was run in its place.

The racism forum story was not submitted until the paper was halfway through the production pro-

cess. Plank said by that time another story had replaced it and he would have had to change the layout of the paper again to accommodate it Calderon complained that the BSA gets only negative publicity, referring to a story that ran March 15 under the headline, "Racism charges hurled at Met." "The perspective is that the black students are always crying 'racism this, racism that,' but what was omitted from that story was why I thought it was racist that the story wasn't run - because of my remarks," Calderon said Calderon and other students said that there was no coverage of the events sponsored by the BSA for Black History Month although Calderon said she submitted a calendar of events to the Met at the beginning of Black History Month.

Plank accepted respo0S1bility for the lack of coverage in February, saying that he had not seen the calendar.

He suggested that the BSA submit individual press releases in advance for each separate event, to improve the BSA's chances of getting coverage.

Jon Goldin, MSC's campus organizer for the Colorado Public Interest Research Group said at the meeting that last semester CoPIRG had a problem with ne-

gative publicity and that their events did not get covered unless seperate releases were submitted on the form the Met has for that purpose.

He suggested that the BSA use the form and said that it might also help to call the Met to remind them of a specific event, a day or two in advance.

"You (BSA) are not the only people who are saying you aren't getting coverage," Plank said 'Tve got 20 pages of newsprint and I have to use my news judgement ... sometimes I screw up." ''The stories that have not been run and the stories that are screwed up make the BSA look bad," Calderon said.

"I'm tired ofstudents coming up to me and saying, 'What's the BSA doing. When are the meetingsr We put in when our meetings are and we expect our meetings to be covered so students know we are doing something ... This makes it look like we haven't done anything all semester," she said.

Plank explained that staff reporters are not paid and that most are students in MSC journalism classes. He said that reporters who tum stories in late receive no credit for their work, and students are usually allowtd to choose the events they are to cover.

Anton Adum, Activities chair for the Association of Black Students at UCO, said that

students would naturally choose subjects in which they are interested and that their alternative to pick their own stories contnbuted to the problem of unbalanced representation in the paper. He asked if it would be possible for the black students to send their own reporters to cover events.

"Is that what we have to do to get coveredr' he asked "I don't feel that sending your own reporter is your respoDSlbility, but if you want to do that, it's fine," Plank said.

"It is my resp~m.~ibility to get stuff covered," he said, "It's going to take all of you working more closely with me and the rest of my staff. I think we should all get together again, you obviously have a lot of concerns you want to talk about," he said. "ff you guys want to find one person to be a press secretary or a press agent, that would be a good thing to do," Plank said. "The HLA (Hispanic Leadership Association) gets a lot of coverage because the HLA has a person to do that."

BSA member Shelby Elliot said that she would be willing to work as a press agent with the staff at The Metropolitan because she is in charge of making up the calendar of events for BSA. Calderon said she wanted the ... w "·29

Drug War protest fuels campaig n Yvonne Barcewski The Metropolitan

School children visiting the state capitol on March 16 were treated to a '60s style protest against the drug war and a lesson on freedom of speech by a man who wants to be Colorado's next governor.

Robin Heid, who is hoping to capture the Colorado Republican party's gubernatorial nomination and is chair of the No More Drug War Foundation, organized the protest, which drew about 75 demonstrators.

At times, the crowd on the west steps of the capitol swelled to close to 200. Many of the spectators were school children who stopped to watch the demonstration before boarding buses for the trip back to school.

Heid encouraged them to "just say no to the war on drugs," and reminded them that the protesters were exercising the right to freedom of speech, which is guaranteed under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Many ofthe protesters, including Heid, wore paper bags on their heads to conceal their identities. Heid said many people who are against the drug war are afraid to speak out for fear of harassment from employers or the police.

Once he removed his paper bag, Heid seemed to have little in common with the protesters. Sporting neatly trimmed hair and dressed in a suit and tie, he was in sharp contrast to the demonstrators, most of whom wore jeans and had long hair reminiscent of protesters during the Vietnam era.

But when it came to drug war philosophy, Heid and the demonstrators seemed to be of one mind.

Protester's shouted "Down with the drug war" and "Elect your local drug dealer."

Amid the cries, Heid said, "We're here to show the government that individuals can make free choices about how they're going to live their lives. We're tired of the war on drugs. We want to see a little injection of peace and responsibility. The way we're going to do it is to get right in their (legislators' and the public's) faces."

He said there are two things the state needs to do.

First, Heid said he wants to see a citizen's initiative on the ballot to "re-legalize" marijuana.

"Hemp is the best protein source on the planet," Heid said. "We are deprived of its use by drug prohibition."

Second, Heid said he will seek to repeal

Protesters gather on the capitol steps to express dissatisfaction with the war on drugs. (

all of Colorado's drug laws and commute the sentences of all non-violent drug offenders. "One of the effects of the drug war is crime related to the production of drugs," he added.

In a preivious Met interview, Heid said that many of the costs of the drug war are "hidden because we're using so many of our cops, courts, prisons and jails on the drug business that it masks the effectiveness of those institutions to deal with other crime."

During that same interview, Heid was asked if he used drugs.

"I don't take drug tests," he answered. "I

reject drug tests for any person in this country. And I think it's important for someone aspiring to public office to set an example. I would say to any opponent that if they support drug tests, I would like to see them publicly take one."

He added that "just because you're against the drug war doesn't mean you're in favor of drug use."

Although his opposition to the war on drugs seems to be in conflict with the Republican party platform, Heid said his entire campaign is centered around the Republican ideals of personal responsibility

and limited government, which the United States was founded on.

But he said that, so far, the Colorado Republican party is ignoring his bid for nomination. That attitude is "keeping the party from growing and getting fresh ideas," he added.

However, previously, Katy Atkinson, communications director for the Colorado GOP, told The Met it is up to Heid to "take his message to the delegates at the state convention on June 9, and convince them that he is the way to go."

Environmental awareness promoted Lyn Wazny The Metropolitan

• ·.

The tropical rainforests in the Amazon river basin in Brazil, often referred to as "the lungs of the Earth," occupy only seven percent of the planet's land~. but supply 50 percent of its oxygen, according to the Rain Forest Action Group, a Boulder-based environmental group. Every minute, 50 of the 2.5 billion remaining acres are being clearcut for timber exportation, farming and mineral excavation, equalling two percent a year.

If the current rate of burning and deforestation continues, the forests will be leveled by the year 2050. The area, which harbors the world's greatest diversity of plant and animal species, could become an irreversible desert, three University of Maryland meteorologists said. In addition, the meteorologists predict dramatic ramifications in the planet's climate as a result of this lack of vegetation.

Denver musician, University of Colorado-Boulder graduate and environmentalist Kevin Schrandt is doing what he can to educate the American public about this possible catastrophe via a musical, multimedia program titled "Echoes Within the Forest."

Schrandt and his four-piece band, New World, will perform at St. Cajetan's Center April 5, at 7:30 p.m. The show is free to MSC students and $3 for the public.

The group performs in sync with the soundtrack to "The Changing Amazon," a documentary film co-produced by Schrandt about the deforestation, industrialization and

colonization of the Amazon river basin. The original music, composed by Schrandt, combines rock and folk mixed with Brazilian Latinolbossa nova rhythms.

"I'm trying to create a public awareness in a positive vein that's entertaining," Schrandt said "If people like the music, then they'll pick up on the underlying message."

Schrandt said he considered himself "an average Joe Environmentalist" until he traveled to the Amazon river basin in 1985 as part of an expedition sponsored by Kuja Sni a small, non-profit Boulder-based research group. Named after a Lakota Sioux Indian word meaning "never sick" or "perpetual health," the group devotes itselfto promoting the longevity of the Earth's ecosystem, Schrandt said.

He, along with six other CU-Boulder graduates, went to Brazil to observe and document the interaction between human beings and the environment.

The experience lit a fire in Schrandt.

"After I went to Brazil and learned what was really happening there, I felt kind of a moral obligation to get the message out," he said.

Having an extensive background in mass communications, music and audio and visual media, Schrandt taped sound effects in the forests, which are incorporated into the soundtrack of "Echoes Within the Forest." ''The Amazon river basin is the proverbial 'melting pot' of the natural resources of the planet," Schrandt explained He said conservative estimates suggest that more than half of the world's plant and animal species reside there.

Botanists and scientists say that as big

pockets of forests are being depleted, many of these species are disappearing because that is the only place where they can live.

"They say that there are over 40,000 plant species in the Amazon river basin and they have only been able to document about 10,000 of them," Schrandt said. "Who knows, there might be one out there that could help fight the AIDS virus, or cancer, or even the common cold."

More than 80 percent of the by-products from this deforestation are being exported to the U.S. and other First World countries such as France, Germany and Japan.

Schrandt said the United States has only four percent of the world's population but consumes more than 30 percent of its resources.

"We've grown up in a society that's built on capitalism," Schrandt said.. "There is always someone trying to make their own ends meet And that means utilizing resources from wherever they can get them to make products to sell. Look at all the wood being exported to make that cherry wood desk or oak front door.

"We need to be smarter about the kinds of natural resources we exploit from rainforests," he said. "We need to work harmoniously with the environment so that it's mutually beneficial. The common ground is to find sustainable development instead of the end result of short-term capital gains.

This is what we see as the best solution - instead of the exploitation of the forests foraOl»time tesiswith ooregardfbrregmerative posstbilities."

What can an average citizen do to help

MSC STUDENTS

avoid this environmental disaster? Schrandt said, "As the most aftluent country in the world, we have the responsibility to make right choices. We want people to become aware of where products are coming from and if there is an alternative, buy that."

Schrandt bas a list of more than 50 suggestions. "We're not asking people to make a total readjustment of their lifestyles.

Minor changes, minor sacrifices in everyday life will make a difference collectively in the long run. If people would only do two things " He suggested minimizing garbage produced and recycling whenever possible.

"Every ton of paper recycled saves 17 trees," he said. "Over a billion trees are destroyed to produce disposable diapers each year."

In addition, he said buy "pre-cycled" products, such as eggs in cardboard cartons rather than plastic foam. Use paper instead of plastic bags at the grocery store.

Planting trees is what Schrandt will be doing on April 21, as part of the effort by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado to plant 10,000 trees along the Platte river south of Denver.

Schrandt and New World will be playing on April 21 at the Denver Zoo as part of a two-day celebration marking Earth Day 1990. The event is the 20th anniversary of the first Earth Day which attracted more than 20 million people nationwide to celebrate Earth appreciation.

Their appearance on campus is sponsored

by MSC Student Activities and student anthropology club, ALPACA. For more information, call 556-2595. o

Campus church has strange past -

Andy Glaess The Metropolitan

For many Auraria students, the toll of the bells of St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church means they're once again late for class. But in 1898, when three of the church's four - •bells were put in place, their sound meant advertising for a local beer company.

The only bells in the state at that time, the largest of which weighs 3,400 pounds, were paid for by Philip Zang. Although not a member of the Catholic Church, the brewer •was convinced by a quick thinking priest to donate the money.

According to a "Rocky Mountain News" article, Father Francis Koch said: "Every time that great bell rings, it will advertise your brewery, it will cry your .- name far and wide. Zang! It will go. Zang, Zang, Zang!"

Along with its beautiful architecture, the bells helped get St. Elizabeth's listed as a historic Denver landmark in 1969. Through its 110-year history, the parish has survived .,_financial troubles, an ethnic tug of war, changing neighborhoods and even the murder of one of its priests.

Although not in the same building, St. Elizabeth's is the oldest continuous parish in the city and has its roots in the 1870s, when German families who had settled on the •West bank of Cherry Creek petitioned Bishop Joseph Machebeuf for a German priest to help with their spiritual needs.

The bishop assigned Rev. John Wagner who was in the state in an attempt to better his health. Wagner soon collected enough - money to make payments on two lots located at the comer of 11th and Curtis streets. A small brick house, which Wagner used as a rectory, was already on the property.

He arranged for the construction of a .• church and the foundation was laid in August of 1879. Wagner, however, would never see it completed for his health failed and he returned home to Chicago.

Rev. Frederick Bender was transferred from Colorado Springs to continue work on the church and in September of 1879 he held " the first mass in the partially completed building.

Despite his efforts, Bender realized that St. Elizabeth's was too small of a parish to remain entirely German, so a second parish for Irish worshippers in the area was added.

Although they used the church at different times, the two groups never got along and the Irish contingent petitioned for their own church. In 1888, construction began on St. Leo the Great at West Colfax Avenue and 10th-Street (it was tom down in 1965).

'- Bishop Machebeuf requested that the Franciscans establish a house of their order in the, once again, entirely German church.

Rev. Francis Koch was soon dispatched to Denver and he became the first Franciscan rector of St. Elizabeth's.

In 1890, the little brick church built by -Bender was deemed too small and was tom down. More land was purchased and a school was constructed, the third floor of which served as the new church from 1890 to 1898.

Ground breaking for the current church .,--began in 1896, with the cornerstone being laid on November 18 of that year in an elaborate ceremony.

When completed in the spring of 1898, the church measured 132 by 69 feet with its spire reaching 162 feet high. It was con-

.a

structed of lava stone quarried from Castle Rock. Of a primarily Gothic design, with a few Romanesque touches, the cost of the church was $43,000 with another ,$26,000 for interior furnishings.

All of which is remarkable considering the economic conditions in Denver after the Silver Crash of 1893. Undeterred by financial difficulties, Koch found unemployed laborers who were glad to work for low wages.

"There was a method to his seeming madness," the "Denver Catholic Register" later reported. ''There were many men out of work and he had them put their time on the church instead of idling. He paid them what he could, but it was his own personality that kept them working more than anything else."

In 1896, Koch commissioned a St. Louis company to cast, in bronze, the three larger bells in the belfry. In addition to the one donated by Zang, two smaller bells, weighing 1,600 and 1,000 pounds, were bought. A fourth bell, weighing 500 pounds, was added in 1905. . Consecration ceremonies were held on June 8, 1902. Denver newspapers reported on the large orchestra and impressive choir on hand.

The parish continued to grow and prosper for several years. Koch was eventually suceeded by Rev. Plus Manz and then, in late 1907, by Rev. Leo Heinrichs.

Heinrichs was only 40 years old when he came to St. Elizabeth's. On Feb. 23, 1908, as he did every morning, he walked out on the altar to celebrate 6 a.m. Mass. As he was distributing Holy Communion, a choir boy shouted a warning to the priest but it was too late. As Heinrichs turned, a man who had just received communion put a gun to the priest's chest and fired.

Father Heinrichs died moments later.

Today, a plaque on the wall marks the spot where the murder took place.

The years following marked a period of .quiet growth and a changing neighborhood.

Spanish Americans joined the Germans and Irish in the area around St. Elizabeth's, eventually building their own church, St. Cajetan's, in the 1920s.

St. Elizabeth's was remodeled in 1931. A new chapel, dedicated to Our Sorrowful Mother, was built and changes were made to the vestibule and the chapel dedicated to St. Anthony.

More repairs were also needed in 1936 and 1937 when a terrazzo floor and new heating and lighting systems were installed.

An elaborate Nativity scene, begun by a Franciscan brother in 1928, was completed in the late 1930s and became a popular Christmas attraction in Denver for more than 20 years. It depicted, in miniature scale, the entire town of Bethlehem. With street scenes, shops, running water and the Three Kings' journey, the tiny town occupied the entire Curtis Street side of the church.

Each day, the figurines of the gift-bearing kings were moved a bit closer to the manger until, on the twelfth night, they would be at the place where Christ was born.

The Christmas of 1954 was the last for the scene, the background of which had finally collapsed.

St. Elizabeth's continued to remain active in the community. In 1944, the church displayed 1,200 American flags with the names of servicemen on its side altar. The devotion was "a crusade for victory, peace, and the safe return of loved ones."

PEOPLE Kids get 'garbology' lesson

•

Cinthia M. Belle The Metropolitan

The children of Denver's Smith Elementary School were told to leave their classrooms at 9:45 a.m., March 6, and go to the . . asement to don surgical gloves. There was a dirty job to be done and someone had to do it.

But these kids were excited. They picked up their bags of garbage that they brought from home that morning, and single-filed out to the parking lot to dump them on the awaiting newspaper ~-pread on the concrete.

The children were preparing for their lesson of the day. A lesson in "garbology."

Gordon Jay Bronitsky, visiting associate professor of anthropology at MSC, was helping the children read lifestyles from the garbage that they collected from their homes.

"This is the way anthropologists studied people oflong ago," Bronitsky said to the 50 first- and second-graders.

The fun began when the children were

instructed to dump the garbage. The child whose garbage was selected for inspection was to catalog the precious artifacts, while the other three clnldren in each group picked through the rubbish and identified every last item - down to the coffee grounds. ''This family must really be sick," Josh Bronitsky, 8, said. ''There are a lot of Kleenexes." Josh is Bronitsky's son.

Picking up the garbage between thumb and forefinger, for all to see, was the correct procedure for this event. It was then usually followed by a rousing squeal of "ewwwe."

Gordon Bronitsky would go from group to

Are there kids? How do you know?" ''They love Kraft (products)," Gaby Abril, 8, said.

"They definitely like cupcakes," said Jasmyn Stallings, 8. ''They go to 7-11. And they like to write notes," giggled Lauren Yu, 7.

One important clue was found while the three were going through Erin Booker's garbage.

The reactions to Lennie Noiles' Senior Thesis show, March 16 to 30, were as mixed as the show itself. Noiles presents works in photography,jewelry, video, metal working, sculpted plaster and various mixed media.

Noiles is a Metropolitan State College student who will be graduating this May with a degree in communications and a bachelor's of Fine Arts. The Senior Thesis Show is an opportunity for artists at Metro to display their work, but Noiles refuses to be labeled an artist, "I do art work but I am a visual engineer. There are too many connotations with the term 'Wt.'"

•

Noiles said be became interested in going back to school because he was made aware of the credit for prior learning program offered at Metro. He felt that he could use some of his experiences in his career to expedite his educational goals..

On his own artwork, Noiles said, "I feel so much of society is so goddamn apethetic, they need to be shocked back into being awake. I want an emotional reaction ... I want people to ask, 'what?' " Sexual themes are prevalent. In his works titled "Preferences," Noiles presents graphic, band colored photographs depicting sexual encounters of various genders and positions.

In the works titled "Senator Armstrong's Role Models For Teens," sexual fantasies are portrayed with Barbie and Ken dolls in mixed media.

Noiles said he believes society makes too many judgements based on sexual preferences. "People are condemned for being lesbian or gay or bi (sexual)."

The idea that AIDS is the punishment for

homosexuality doesn't ring true for Noiles .

"If you do some research you'll find that AIDS was created by the CJ.A. as a form of germ warfare," he said. ''The era of the white male-dominant society is all bullshit. Our society is a variety of different people, with different preferences, and we would all be better off if we wouldn't judge," Noiles said.

Noiles said he is somewhat disappointed in one aspect of the art program at Metro. He feels a lack of support from his teachers.

"Not one of my mentors has come to see my show, I haven't had any feedback or criticism from instructors."

Noiles said he believes that this is a political move to down-play the controversy of his subject matter, because Metro is negotiating for funding for a gallery space off-campus·.

"These are the people who taught me to do my own thing, push, shout with my art, to shock and get out there. But where are they?" he asked o

UCO productiOii gets high marks Kirt Ace Beg Ier The Metropolitan They're skirts, no, they're belts, no, turbans, no, halter tops- no, they'rejust several multicolored scarves used as all of the above and more, in the CU-Denver production of "Under Milk Wood."

"Under Milk Wood" is the Dylan Thomas classic play for voices, where voices are more prominent than the actions. However, director Sallie Baker bas used a combination of both voice and continuous interaction among the characters to present this truly confusing, yet delightful, play.

The play takes place in the small Welsh town of Llarregub. It begins in the middle of the night and runs through the course of an ordinary, if you can call it that, day of the little town. The first act opens with the ensemble slowly marching out with a moaning tone, to represent the night in the town and those alive in the dreams and minds of the people in the town. The cast is dressed in all white bed clothing, and their heads are draped in a multitude of colored scarves. Each actor makes use of his scarf throughout the day in the village with all of its gos.siping little townspeople.

The play ends with the cast once again draped in the scarves, but they then drape them over one of the headstones used to

represent the cemetery - at the foot of the · 0 f the PlaY is · m · the stage. The rea1 ma_gic actors' transformation of characters. The IO actors portray the variety of about 71 characters and the changes are consistent and well-tuned. For example, as Fred Lewis and Debra Fawcett narrate the play through the characters of first and second voice, both speak their part, overlap into each other's and then back out again without missing a beat. As a result, the audience is never left hanging.

All 10 actors (Carol Elliott, Anne Rampton, Peg Doyle, Suzi Kunze, Fawcett, Lewis, Christopher Lix, Dana Seymour, Michael Lynch and Jeff Roark) do a convincing job in all of their character forms. Yet, most notably, Lewis reaches out aimlessly to the other actors with eyes closed and convincingly becomes the old, blind Captain Cat. He is the only man in the town who can see nothing but his memories.

Lewis works with utter skill opposite of Fawcett in her portrayal of Rosie Probert, the lady of the evening. The two reach out to each other from opposite heights of the stage until Fawcett eventually fades into the darkness of death.

The simple sets, costumes and props only add to the intrigue of the production. At the top of the list is the theatre design, in that the CU-Denver Theatre Company can once again boast the fact that all of the seats are a front row seat. So, whether you're on the top row or in the orchestra section, everything is close enough that the audience loses nothing.

The biggest drawback of the production is the play itself. As with any production of "Under Milk Wood," the newcomer may be confused by the constant chatter of the cast, and the audience is advised to brush up on the play before seeing this production.

Baker can be commended for her director's notes in the program, because they only serve the audience to a better understanding of the play. She puts the theme of the play into words that any person should be able to relate to. So, as long as you follow the program and glance over it once or twice before the curtain goes up, you should have no problem enjoying this A+ production of "Under Milk Wood."

"Under Milk Wood" runs through March 31, at 8 p.m. in the CU-Denver Theatre in the Auraria Arts Building Room 278. For reservations and information call 5562306.

Alum series brings classics to MSC Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

Jet engines roared above the Corkin Theatre as planes took off from Stapleton.

But they couldn't match the rumble inside the theater as Peter Simon made a Baldwin grand thunder through pieces by Liszt, Beethoven and Hovhaness.

Simon, an MSC alumnus, is a concert pianist who has performed across the United States and Europe, and was the subject of two television documentaries, "Profiles and Performances," and "Culture in the Country."

'I see more to life than music, or being an accountant or a scientist.'

Simon's performance on March 18, was 路the first in a series of annual events featuring MSC alumni who have achieved prominence in the arts. Donna Woodard, director of Alumni Relations at MSC, said the Distinguished Alumni Artist Series was established to recognire the importance of Metro's graduates and the breadth of talent they represent.

"Peter is an example of the many fine artists throughout the country who are MSC alumni," she said.

Simon, who said he is '4thirty-something," graduated from Metro in 1974 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and minors in speech and math.

"Until I went to Metro, I thought the purpose of going to school was to get out as soon as poosible," he said. "Instead, I developed a love of learning."

A Novel Approach For Student Government Competency "To know what is right is to do it."

Plato ..

Simon said his education has been crucial to his career. When he applied for teaching positions in music at the University of Iowa and the University of Oklahoma, he was told he had an edge over hundreds of other applicants because he had a broad-based liberal arts education. He got both jobs.

"Ifyou're only conservatory trained, you're losing a part of life experience that makes you a better human being," he said.

"I see more to life than music, or being an accountant or a scientist. My (liberal arts) education has improved my music-making. rm a better musician and a better person," he said.

Woodard said that Metro has many graduates who have excelled in the arts and should be recognired. The series will feature an artist each year, but not necessarily a performer.

"Anyone who creates - whether it be photography, jewelry, weaving or writing - will be considered," she said. "We want to do some fun and exciting things." o

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

And while Ronnie is a little fuzzy on the details of Iran/Contra, be probably remembers fondly all the phone calls he made in mid-October and late-January during his eight years in office. Everyone from Tony La Russa to Bill W alsb.

So don't mind the encroaching barbarians, it's NCAA tournament time. We're talking mass catharsis to the tune of billion-dollar T V contracts, escapism that nears addictive proportions, and it's all OK because we're admitted hoop junkies.

But what if you had to suffer to get your fix?

Chances are, you'd go to any length.

Hoop addiction is all-pervasive. It affects every level of society and the lengths to which we will go to pursue our dependence are staggering. Try $1,500 Final Four tickets and $3.8 million-per-year player contracts.

Or, if you're really sick, try driving 2,050 miles round-trip to Grand Forks, N.D ., to see the Metro State Roadrunners in action in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Dave Williams, The Metropolitan 's men's basketball beat writer and Dan Freeman, a hoop-addicted traveling companion, did just that.

Besides discoveringjust how much like a 7-11 burrito tbe inside of a car can smell, we

dispelled the heartland theory, exposing as myth the Hoosieresque notion of teamwork and guidance in life through committment in sports. Basketball hoops do not dot the landscape like grain silos.

And yet, we also discovered that Division II basketball has better perspective of what it's all about. "It's just a little bit more like what college athletics is supposed to be," Roadrunner's coach Bob Hull said. "Division II is what Division I used to be before all the TV money got involved."

Roughly translated, this means you will play your games in Grand Forks, N.D.,justa stones throw from Minnesota and a mere 150 miles to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

- ''The North Central Regional playoffs will be held in Grand Forks, N.D. One of the factors for site selection is revenue potential.

Geographicaj location is another factor."

METRO CHOICE '90 President/Vice President -

' Chandler

Fransen

Albrlght

Candidates for ASMSC president and vice president, Dave Chandler and Jeff Albright, announced more details today of their plan to abolish the current student government and replace it with a nine member Student Board.

"The Metro student government, as it is now constituted , clearly doesn't work very well ," presidential candidate Chandler said. "This plan Jeff and I are offering, can demonstrate a bold, innovative departure from business-as-usual. We believe that the vast majority of students that have followed the misadventures of the present student body president and student senate in the Metropolitan this year, would agree that major reform is necessary. We think that the kind of formula we have constructed for a new student government would solve many of the existing problems."

The Chandler-Albright plan for a new ASMSC constitution would center on the elimination of the offices of president and vice president, the Student Senate and Student Judicial Board. In place of those entities, a nine member student board would be elected. Those nine would select one member to serve as Chairperson.

"The idea," Chandler said, " is to create a purely decision making body with an equality between the representatives. The Student Board could create appointed positions, hire staff, or use the Metropolitan State College system to carry-out its policies. This is the kind of organization that most of 15,000 school boards and hundreds of city-manager forms of government across the nation utilize."

Chandler said that he believes that much of the rancor seen in this past year's student government may have a structural cause. He pointed out that within a community like Metropolitan State College, it is almost impossible to have a student governing organization where an executive and legislative branches could be kept truly separate.

"When you have the incumbent student president publicly lambasting the senate and individual senators by name in a " Letter-to-the-Editor" and the next week a senator asking for " retribution", then something is definitely wrong," Chandler said. (Metropolitan, January 26 and February 2, 1990.) "Under the present organization there are too many conflicts of purpose and too much unproductive competition. Under our plan, those problems pretty much disappear because all nine members of the Student Board would share in the same duties and responsibilities."

Chandler also believes that the present student government is simply too large; the student senate currently consists of 25 members. Chandler noted that of the 25 senators elected last spring, only eleven still hold ottice, the remaining incumbent senators were appointed.

My name is Michael Green and I am seeking the office of president of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College. I have been involved in many things over the past school year. During this past year I've been the chairperson of the senates' Club Funding Committee and that during that time my committee has been responsible for successfully funding over 100 funding requests for over 63% of Metroplitan State Colleges' active clubs on campus. I've also been responsible for the senates' Legislative Liason Bill which was the forerunner of our having a Lobbyist on capital hill. Not only that but I was responsible for the senates' co-sponsoring a Toxic Awareness Day along with Copirg. Also, as Vice-President of the History Club I was an effective part of our co-sponsoring the Forum on Rascism Day with the Black Student Alliance. and the Political Science Club. These are just a few of my successful actions of this past year and with my active involvement in the Club Funding Committee and my other campus' involvements' I believe that no other candidate running for office has effectively reached out to as many students with as many diverse backgrounds as I have beenable to do this year.If and when I am elected President I promise that I will show the same concerns to the students as I did when I was actively funding students and clubs.

With elections around the corner, I feel it is imperative to introduce and address one of the primary goals and priorities of the undersigned, and my running mate, Michael Green.

The first and foremost goal that will be worked on is bridging the gap between Student Government and student body. After all, the Student Government is elected by the students to represent their views and to act in their best interest. In the past few years, this has seemed to be a futile battle. However, a battle that can be overcome with the proper supervision and most importantly COMMUNICATION! The accomplishment of this goal will lead to the accomplishment of many other important goals.

With the merging of the Student Government and the student body comes power, power to make good things happen! With student support, we could be accomplishing outstanding achievements. This would include the possibilities of drafting and influencing the passage of certain State legislation that affects the lives of ALL students, as well as the citizens of Colorado.

Laws that truly make a difference.

I want to encourage all students to vote in this upcoming election. Take a stand - know exactly what your chosen candidate stands for - and last but certainly not least, how they will represent you after they are in office.

I) Parking A) New parking garage should be built within budget and on time.

B) Addition of shuttle bus trip to RTD Market Street station from campus to encourage RTD ridership and lessen parking congestion.

C) The change from a per use fee to a daily fee for parking lot users, allowing for limited "in and out" privileges.

D) Constant student input on future parking projects to ensure student benefit.

E) Expansion of monthly parking pass program.

F) Investigations into cutting daily and monthly fees for student parking.

II) Food Service A) Eliminate the monopoly that PFM has over campus eating establishments.

B) Encouragement of healthy competition for student food dollar.

Ill) Teacher evaluations A) Possible student access to institutional evaluation forms.

B) Elimination of student government stonewalling on evaluations currently in committee.

IV) Smoking A) Installation of microwave ovens in non-smoking lounge.

B) Installation of exhaust fans in smoking lounges.

C) Return of retail cigarette sales in the convenience store.

V) Student representation A) The conduction of frequent polls of student opinion to ensure that student government represents student interest.

B) Inclusion of student grievance forms with teacher evaluations to assist in evaluation of other campus functions and programs.

VI) Athletics A) Student government support for men's and women's athletic programs.

B) Monitoring of PER expansion to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget.

C) Encouragement of local electronic media to include Metropolitan State College sports scores in sportscasts.

Meichell and I have chosen "Action in Office" as the slogan of our campaign . The words describe to us what student government should be, and also what it hasn't been in the past. All to often students run on platforms of parking, child care and food service. We are the first :-to admit that we to fell prey to this mistake when we ran for senate last year. Unfortunately, we soon realized that these complex issues require long term solutions which students play a limited role in. After one year. we have become a little wiser, and thus have chosen to dedicate ourselves to service oriented action in office. _ Student government should provide three things to the students it serves; an effective student voice, representation, and service. In the past, student government has concentrated most on representation, unfortunately, we have all seen this to be somewhat ineffective. Too often student government leaders have become complacent and self-serving. And often, their representation has been focused on a small portion of the total student population, due to a majority of representatives coming from a handful of departments.

Student government in the Madrid/Walsh administration would become the "Student Information Center". The student information center would consist of •..some of the following services for the students: - The development of the Student Service Fair, held each semester, which highlights the various student service programs at MSC. - The development of seminars and workshops which assist the student in college survival skills such as: - "Understanding the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook"; which explains the academic grievance process.

- " How to Complete and File Your Graduation Agreement" - "How to Get the Most Out of Financial Aid"; which includes how to file forms and writing an effective scholarship application.

- "What Does It Take to Get Into the Graduate School of Your Choice?"; which explains how to prepare, apply and get into graduate school.

- Etc., etc., etc.

- The development of the "Student Lawyer" program.

• The Student Lawyer program would provide student representatives who could assist students with the

I have decided to run for another term as The Metropolitan State College Student Body President to complete the goals I worked on throughout the year. As most students already know, I have served as a Senator for two years, Vice President for one year and I am the current President. My past experience will prove invaluable in creating a professional and responsible student government.

My running mate is Dan Holden. He served as a Senator for two years, worked as the Student Advisor to the Auraria Board of Directors, and has also served as the Student Advisor to the State Board. Dan has the skills necessary to make next years senate productive, respectable, and a vital tool in the shap ing of our college.

Next year we will accomplish the following: • DECREASE STUDENT FEES. • Support athletics and insure the continued existence of club funding.

• Increase the number of parking spaces available for students by building another parking structure (the · first should be completed by next Spring).

• Increase financial aide for all students.

• Expand the computing facilities.J and provide knowledgeable lab assistants.

• Develop a peer tutoring lab.

• Improve and expand the child care facilities.

• Encourage longer business hours for night students.

I am a double major in Criminal Justice and History, and Dan is majoring in Computer Science and Chemistry. We have participated in a variety of clubs and organizations on campus. We understand how the system operates, and we can make it work for you.

Please vote for Martin and Holden April 3, 4 and 5th.

Our main goal is to build a better liason of communications between Metropolitan State College of Denver students and its admin istration. We feel that some how over the years an ever growing surmountable sized gap of communications exists between the two. In order to establish an institution such as a college, it must first have students, because without students and their support, there would be no college in which an adm inistration could administer; so therefore, students are the college. We will make it our priority to take the questions of wants and needs from the voices of every MSC student in which to seek the most thoroughway of avenues for each injector recieved to be carried out to the fullest extent possible.

We feel that working for the students in student government is a human job; to work for the human causes of people. People are humans and humans are students. Fifty years of sitting on any position of delegation is not a precedent to have a natural ability to I isten to and figure out what students want and to follow up by getting the job well done. We will represent MSC students in giving all and any information on how students' interests are spent. We are very much looking forward to hear from the 17,000 voices of the MSC campus, to tell us how to more adequately enter into this institution's system your personal interests as humans who happen to be students at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

We want to work for you .

EDITORIAL Stranger Than -- Fiction

By Chad Morris

So Gorby wants to play hardball, eh?

And all because Lithuania had the unmitigated gall(?) to proclaim independence from Mother Russia.

The nerve!

Well , now, of course we Americans are on Lithuania's side, right? I mean, anyone who wants to escape the Evil Empire and join the free, capitalist, democracyloving peoples of the West has the unquestionable support of the U.S. And besides, it's so fashionable these days. Actually, Lithuania is a late-bloomer, following in the steps of East Germany, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Nicaragua (roll that "r"). And I know you're as thrilled as I am that they finally decided to join the rest of us.

In fact, the U.S., in an attempt to bring them in line with the rest of the Late 20th Century, has sent huge shipments of Sony Walkmans, VCR's, Hamburger Helper and a year's supply of good, solid, real-life television programming: "Who's the Boss, " "Doogie Howser, MD" and "The Addams Family."

And while they're going deaf, dumb, blind and malnourished from all of this, the American Press, in all their infinite and objective wisdom, is working long hours converting ol' Gorby from a peace-loving border1ine capitalist back into a paranoid xenophobic tyrant who habitually ignores any kind of mandates from his people.

It doesn't matter to him that the entire Lithuanian government, including the Communist party members, voted to secede from the Soviet Union. What matters is that order be maintained and the appearance of a country that is not facing economic collapse be kept up.

Oddly enough, there have been other countries faced with this problem and they tend to handle it the same way - with military force aimed at pummelling the offenders into submission. What a really effective way to run an empire.

For example, one of our allies, England, killed off thousands of unruly Indians and all because they decided that it would be nice to call their own shots.

Now, what I'm really getting at here, is that the U.S. always takes the moral high horse in these situations stating that a country's citizens should be allowed to have the kind of government they want. That's the democratic way, right?

OK, then I have only two questions to ask: Whatever happened to the Confederate States of America and the independent nation of Texas?

If we are such open-minded, democratic people, then why did thousands of people have to die when one group of people decided that they wanted to live under a different government?

America, of all countries, ought to be able to sympathize with the Soviet Union better than anyone else. We are pretty experienced at putting down states that suddenly decide to go their own way and have to be beaten about the proverbial head and shoulders until they realize what a horrible mistake they've made in trying to live life their way.

Don't they realize that this is the best of all possible countries? Where else can one find a populace enslaved by greed and consumption, ruled by the almighty advertiser? What other country has effectively reduced women to living Barbie dolls designed to be divided and conquered by a guy in aviator sunglasses and paintedon Levi's?

And what other country would one find a gubernatorial candidate who thinks that women being raped should " relax and enjoy it?" Of course, he is the candidate for the Texas governor spot.

Maybe we should have let them go.

Think about CoPIRG vote Innuendoes, half-truths and critical ommissions are the traits that bind used-car sales and politics.

What you sometimes don't hear when the salesman in the plaid suit is trying to get you hooked on a $300 Nova is that if you went ahead and spent twice as much on some other car, it would pay for itself in the long run.

He wants you to get the cheaper car because it's been sitting on his lot for a while and he needs to get rid of it.

Sometimes, politicians basically do the same thing.

They push a new piece of legislation off on the people they represent, promising saved money and a reduced beaurocracy, but not giving the voters the whole picture. Take 1988's Amendment 6, for example. Its proponents tried to lure people into voting for the plan with promises of reduced taxes and an end to wasteful government. But what they didn't say was that in the end , government costs would go up because lawmakers would have to hold a vote whenever they needed money. The proposition was a too-quick fix for a long-term problem.

Fortunately, not a whole lot of people went for it.

This week, when you step inside the voting booth, one of the decisions you will be making has to do with a similar situation.

For a long time now, there has been a movement in MSC Student Government to repeal the $3 Colorado Public Interest Research Group fee every student at Metro pays when they register. The idea is, if you want your money back, you can get it later when CoPIRG sets up a booth for just that purpose. It's called either a " negative checkoff" or a "waivable fee."

Petitions were circulated earlier this semester to make the repeal of that fee a ballot question. The question isn't even about supporting CoPIRG , it's about whether you are in favor of the fee. If you say yes on the ballot, you say no to CoPIRG. Opponents of the fee say that an automatic (although waivable) charge, isn't fair, that taking money for purposes not expressly authorized by the student is dishonest, underhanded and downright un-American.

I agree. But don't let the rhetorical trees keep you from seeing the whole forest.

The referendum's supporters say that once the fee is revoked, CoPIRG can ask for money the same way everybody else does. This way, it will just be more honest.

CoPIRG isn't the only organization you give money to without your consent every time you pay your tuition although their fee is the only one you can elect to not pay. Intercollegiate Athletics gets in your pocket too.

So does this paper. And so does the Health Clinic, and MSC Student Activities, and every other club and organization on this campus that is supported by money that comes from student fees. Including student government.

Regardless of how you feel about one or all of these organizations, the fact remains that without your money, none of them could operate.

So it would seem it then becomes a question of whether or not CoPIRG is worth the $3 you give them .

They sponsor clean-up days where homeless shelters around the area are made a little nicer for people who don't have anywhere else to go. They publish guides and pamphlets, which are distributed free o * charge, on topics of consumer concern ranging from insurance to recycling to buying a bicycle. They bring speakers to Auraria to discuss issues affecting the whole country. They work to register voters, then help those voters make informed, thoughtful decisions on questions that affect them and their families. They help organize activities for Earth Day to encourage aware ' ness of the fragility of our planet, and ways to alleviate the damage a short-sighted human race has already inflicted on it.

Pretty important stuff, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what will happen if CoPIRG loses its only legitimate funding resource. No more CoPIRG. No : more shelter cleanups, voter registration drives, consumer guides or environmental activities.

In fact, if you compare CoPIRG's track record with MSC Student Government's, you'll find that our elected officials could learn a few things from the group they're trying to eradicate (despite their statements to the . contrary) .

Well, guess what? They already have.

As of a couple of months ago, MSC has a new lobbyist up at the state capitol to work for legislation beneficial to higher education.

CoPIRG has had lobbyists at the state (and local) level for years, working on all the issues mentioned here, plus more.

Maybe it's time, on this campus where apathy is the rule and action the exception, to think not about the miniscule (.003%) difference$3 makes on a bottom line that tuition and books boost to near $1,000 every semester. Maybe it's time to think about what the return on your $3 investment will be over the long run - ana compare that return with the one you get from the investment you make in MSC Student Government.

Last year, they received $50,250 in student fees. Divide that by 17,000 students paying the activities fee, and you come up with $2.95 per student.

Yeah, it looks like they could learn a lot from CoPIRG. # For 5 cents more than you pay student government, you get everything we've talked about here.

Now think about what student government did for you this year.

Any of you who actually go and vote have already shown that you're concerned with what happens on this campus. Now show that you are concerned with · what happens to everybody, everywhere. Don't let the deliberate distortion of facts by people you already know you can't count on keep you from helping people you can. When you vote this week, make sure you know what you're really voting for.

And read the question on the ballot carefully. It's designed to fool you .

·FSA C invites comments about Mercantile Editor, I am writing on behalf of the Food Service Advisory Committee on the topic of the Mercantile Restaurant.

Since the conversion to management by Professional Food Management (PFM) the FSAC has received a • number of informal complaints about the operation at the Mercantile. As you may be aware, the FSAC has been working on the request for proposals for the new food service contract covering the Student Union, the Mission and the North Classroom Deli. This is an

extremely important issue, as it will help shape the nature of the food service supplied on this campus for the next six years. Unfortunately, the FSAC has been forced to neglect other food service issues on the Auraria campus, among them the Mercantile.

The FSAC would like to spend some time on addressing some of the problems with the Mercantile before the end of the spring semester, and we are inviting comments from students, faculty and staff.

These comments can be submitted in writing to our

secretary, Susan Hurst, Campus Box S, or to me at Campus Box 190. The committee also invites and welcomes anyone who has questions, comments or concerns about any aspect of food service on campus to atted our meetings. They are held every Tuesday at 12:30, usually in conference room 252 in the Student Union. Thank You.

<Student deems CoPIRG beneficial Editor, I am a Metro student concerned with environmental issues and feel very lucky to be attending a college with ..:..a chapter of CoPIRG on campus. CoPIRG offers an opportunity for myself, as well as other students at Auraria to affect public policy on environmental and consumer rights issues. Through CoPIRG, my voice can be heard throughout the state. This is possible due to CoPIRG's presence at our state capitol, pushing for <~ stricter laws against polluters and skyrocketing in. surance rates. CoPIRG's fulltime lobbyists are present because we, as students, are concerned about these issues affecting our lives. Providing a voice for students, CoPI RG's lobbyists have been involved with some very important legislation, including the passing of one of

the strictest Safe Drinking Water Acts in the nation.

CoPIRG was also involved with the investigation of over-charging by U.S. West Communications which resulted in an $11 refund to all [U .S. West] customers.

Currently, CoPIRG is working with City Councilperson Dave Doering to ban and recycle ozone-depleting substances. Also, CoPIRG is working to develop a market for recycled products by supporting a bill that would introduce recycled paper to the offices of our state legislatures. On campus, CoPIRG is working to increase recycling and encouraging students to participate in the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. These are just a few of the many ways students are involved and are acting on their concerns for longterm solutions to the problems our world faces.

However, all of this is being threatened by a ref-

erendum question which will appear on the spring election ballot. If passed, the referendum, as stated, will end CoPIRG's funding and destory the chapter at Metro. Those collecting signatures to run the referendum have spread many misleading or false statements about CoPIRG and the effects of the referendum.

If the referendum passes, a great opportunity will be lost for all students. CoPIRG is a student controlled organization and the largest environmental and consumer rights group in the state. Don't let this be taken away from you. Vote NO on April 3, 4 or 5 and keep our voice as students a strong and relevant power in the governing process.

172 and a friend who needs hours toward his pilot's license.

That's when Dan, a former NAIA basketball player with tremendous knowledge of the game (he quit, following a point-shaving scandal in Blair, Neb.) appeared.

"Want to go to Grand Forks, N.D.?"

Dave asks.

"When?" Dan replies.

"Twenty minutes."

"Sure."

After packing a Safeway bag full of clothes, Dan meets Dave at a bar. Ten hours, three bars, and considerable route speculation later, we leave.

1:40 a.m. Friday-180 miles into the trip Dave reveals to geographically naive Dan just how close to Canada Grand Forks really is. Dan informs Dave that he has $14 and assorted change in his pocket.

5:40 a.m. Friday - Gothenberg, Neb. After filling up at the 1-80 Pit Stop, Dan asks a rural poster boy named Vern just how far it is to Grand Forks. Vern, in his down-home manner, responds, "It's a long-ass way, son."

"Mileage, Vern. Mileage," Dan responds.

"Well, ya see I cut my fingernails the other day and I cain't really cipher the miles no more. Ya see, when my fingernails was long, it was 10 miles to the black part of my thumbnail and 20 miles to the yeJlow part ...

I'll tell you what, though, it's a beautiful highway. Just as smooth as a cow's underside."

"Thank you, Vern." We walk back to the car with Vern at our heels.

"You know boys, I got me cousin in Grand Forks. I ain't seen her in quite some time. Now that the harvest is in, maybe I could hitch me a ride with y'all."

Vern wanted out. We knew him but slightly and yet sensed that he was the spiritual leader of Gothenberg. He was the heartland. He lived it, spoke it, stank of it Out of curiosity, we let him join us. We knew one thing, however, Vern would not drive.

7:20 a.m. Friday- Vern talked to us about the history of farming, cows, roosters and proper tractor maintenance. He knew every farmer in the region. "Good country folk," he called them.

10:30 a.m. Friday - Halfway between Lincoln and Omaha, Vern's act begins to wear Ethiopian thin. He hadn't stopped talking since he joined us. The last straw was when he told us a story that included a goat, homemade whiskey and himself.

"It was one of those nights when the dancehall was closed. I had me an itchin' to

11 a.m. Friday - We stop for food and Vern says he's got to "call the little heifer."

We decide to abandon Vern in the concrete jungle that is Omaha.

11:02 a.m. Friday - Lost in Omaha.

Shifty-eyed men in Cat Diesel Power hats proffer steroids from every comer. We just said no. We knew some of our muscles would grow, but our favorite ones would -. atrophy.

11:04 a.m. Friday- At a stoplight by an alley, we see Vern wide-eyed and frantic. A group of street youths are between him and the car and we yell to them, "he's got money!" Three youths with 4.3 speed stop him 10 feet from our car. They tackle Vern and drag him behind a dumpster. Minutes later they re-emerge - Vernless.

Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne, who witnessed the entire display of speed, aggression and gang-tackling, offers the threesome athletic scholarships. "Don't worry about the test scores, boys," he says. Osborne and his new recruits depart and soon after, Vern reappears, his self-esteem, respect and trousers all at his ankles.

We pick up a Class B Two-Man high school basketball game on KKAM, a 50-watt station with visions of FM glory.

The game is Brookings versus Woonsocket and we immediately find ourselves pulling for the heavily out-gunned Brookings squad and their scrappy 5-foot-8-inch, blind, one-legged center.

'Runners end season in big Division II

..playoff upset David 0. Wllllams The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State Roadrunners ' ended the first of what they hope is a long string of playoff appearan~ by going 1-1 in the North Central Regional playoffs of NCAA Division Il basketball.

The Roadrunners (28-4) beat the University of South Dakota Coyotes (22-10) 82-73 ·, in the first round on Friday, March 16, and then lost to the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux (27-7) in the sweet sixteen 85-80 on Saturday, March 17.

"This has been a team that never quit," Metro coach Bob Hull said. "They bad a . tremendous run." Hull took an improbable cast of characters and took the team farther than a Metro squad has ever advanced, and

he very nearly coached them one notch higher.

With 15 seconds left, Metro's all-state and all-conference starting guard Gene Edwards hit a three-pointer to close the gap to 82-80, but North Dakota's Mike Boschee hit two free throws to seal the victory. Edwards finished his Metro career with an uncharacteristically quiet 15 points and one assist.

It was a game of surges for the Roadrunners, who used two first-half rallies to pull to an even 41-41 at the half, but the Fighting Sioux went on a 13-4 tear to open the second half and one more Metro rally fell just short.

'There were a lot of opportunities for our guys to panic, but they didn't They hung In there.'

Shun Tillman, Metro's all-time leading scorer and rebounder and a second-team All-American this year, didn't think the team got discouraged by their inability to gain the momentum.

"It was never frustrating," Tillman said.

"We never quit. We just kept digging."

Tillman finished his Metro Career with a team-high 20 points and had seven rebounds.

"There were a lot of opportunities for our guys to panic," Hull said, "but they didn't.

They hung in there."

But North Dakota's Dave Vonesh proved to be a Roadrunner killer. He posted up, getting the ball in low all night and dominated inside with a game-high 28 points and 14 rebounds.

"The hardest thing about playing [Vonesh] was he was able to hit that little fade away," Metro center Mike Paulsen said. "I was in his face and he just played a tough game."

Paulsen finished his Metro career with a 15-point, IO-rebound performance.

The South Dakota game the night before was a very similar contest with drastically different results. It was a close battle all the way with Metro putting things together in the final moments to run away with it.

It was also a glimpse of the futrue as point guard Adrain Hutt as.5erted himself in the final minute, driving for two critical layups.

It was almost a case of out with the old guard, in with the new, as Gene Edwards hit four of six three-pointers and finished with 24 points.

It was a satisfying victory, but satisfaction can be fleeting thing in the NCAA playoffs.

One thing that Metro can feel good about is reviving a program that had been a laughing stock and providing exciting ball all year.

And now, it's back to the future. o

3:30 p.m. Friday - Somewhere in North Dakota. The weather conspires against us.

The wind is a steady 60 mph and the snow comes horizontally. Just outside ofFargo we hit hard-ass ice/ snow, which is the only way to describe it.

4:40 p.m. Friday - We know we're close, but there are no road signs to Grand Forks.

They must assume that if you've come this far, you'll go the distance without guidance.

5:27 p.m. Friday - As we approach the Las Vegas of the Arctic Circle, Don Henley screams at us from the stereo, "How bad do you want it?" "Not bad enough," is the musicaJ reply.

5:39 p.m. Friday - Grand Forks. 1,029 miles on the road. We check into the Road (Kill) King Inn 21 minutes from game time.

We ask the desk clerk if she can tell us where the University of North Dakota is.

She says simply, "Yes," and turns away.

"Can you tell us soon?" Dan asks.

Fifteen minutes to shower and shave. We make tip-off.

7:48 p.m. Friday - Metro beats the University of South Dakota Coyotes in the first round of the tourney (see sports page).

After the game, Dan greets Coach Hull He's shocked and at the same time happy that at least one fan from a school of 17,000 could make the trip. When Dan describes the trip, Hull gives him that it's-only-Division-11basketball look.

11:30 a.m. Saturday - Due to a funding crunch we check out of the Road Kill and the comfort of its 25-inch Sony. We head for a bar to watch some ball only to discover that nothing in Grand Forks opens until 3 p.m. This is truly a blue collar town. They

work and party in shifts.

1:01 p.m. Saturday- The electronic oasis ofa video arcade. Nodakisa video salesman's dream. Restaurants, bars, "malls," even churches have them. The most popular machines are the most violent models.

"Karate Master," "Commando Attack "and "Squish the Gopher" have long lines.

1:42 p.m. Saturday - Radio Shack. We gravitate to a wall of TV sets and stand glassy-eyed, watching the UNLV-OSU game like junkies on the nod. A man with a crew .., cut and a "Running Rebels" sweatshirt tells his wife to leave and come back after the game. He says he was sentenced to Grand Forks by the Air Force and is the first person we could find who would admit they lived in hell. "fm gettin' the bell out of here as soon as I can," he says. "Shit, I used to go to Fighting Sioux hockey games and when they played the Minnesota Golden Gophers, people go out and scrape up dead gophers from the highway. Then when the Sioux score, they chuck these gopher parts out onto the ice.

Jesus, you hope they score quick, 'cause otherwise you end up sittin' next to some ripe sum-bitches."

We smiled, nodded and prayed they hadn't found any Roadrunners for that night's game.

2:54 p.m. Saturday - The Winnipeg Grenadiers - 180 strong - descend on the mall. Their ages range from 9 to. 35 and they're dressed in full combat gear. They have hair cuts right out of a 1954 high school yearbook and apparently awesome purchasing power. They clear whole shelves in the Target and, to our honor, we realize that Grand Forks has become Winnipeg's Tijuana. see Hell pg. 22

3:03 p.m. Saturday- The Holiday Inn lounge finally opens. We watch the Oklahoma-North Carolina game and wait for the real action to start.

6:20 p.m. Saturday - Arriving at Hyslop Sports Arena for the second round, we note that UND's 42-member all-senior (citizens) band is in rare form, ripping into rousing renditions of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round that Old Oak Tree" and ''Moon River."

Songs that have the potential to fire up any team.

7:59 p.m. Saturday - Almost tip-off.

Surprisingly, the arena is not full. We soon learn the reason for this phenomenon. Wayne Newton is in town.

10:05 Saturday - Metro is knocked off by UNO (see sports page). We realize that for the 15th ranked Fighting Sioux to host the third-ranked Roadrunners was probably the first time the cards had been stacked in favor of Nodak in anything.

10:06 p.m. Saturday - Metro (class to the end) huddles at mid-court. We know instinctively what they're saying: "We may have lost, but we're going back to Denver.

These guys have to stay here."

10:08 Saturday - Dan delivers invaluable insight to Dave who is desperately writing his game story. "Yeah, they played good defense, but you'd be defensive too if you lived in North Dakota."

11:10 p.m. Saturday - Dave files his story.

11:32 p.m. Saturday - Our Japanese prairie schooner starts, but it's too cold to go more than a block at a time, which in Grand Forks is only 11 feet.

11:50 p.m. Saturday - A campus cop pulls up. "You need some Heet in that gas tank, boys," he says.

"I have some matches, officer," Dan responds. The man looks at him like he's an idiot.

12:30 a.m. Sunday - We make it to the highway and the hardass ice/snow. The windchill's 80 below, but the car's running smoother and we want out ofthis town. We decide to brave it and make the Denver run.

12:42 a.m. Sunday - We were wrong.

The car sucks. It has a seizure and an aroma like burnt rubber belches from the dash.

1:18 a.m. Sunday - We seek out shelter - anything short of a manger. The first three motels are full and we long for a star in the southern sky. Finally, we find a vacancy in the Comfort Inn and a room lovingly designed by your grandmother, but we know that there are not three wisemen to be had in this entire state.

We abandon the metaphor when we admit to one another that we aren't pregnant, immaculately or otherwise. Besides, talk of this nature is punishable by a life sentence in Grand Forks, or the lesser penalty of death.

Drastic remodeling of the church in 1968 was met with mixed reaction by parishioners.

Some of the additions included stained glass windows from Paris, a modern Venetian glass tile mosaic that was hung behind the altar and a 12-foot rose-colored window in the choir loft.

The cost of the remodeling was $250,000 and was paid for by funds made available from the estate of May Bonfils Stanton.

In the 1970s, St. Elizabeth's faced problems brought about by the growth of Denver.

6 a.m. Sunday - A piece of cardboard over the radiator and a bottle of Liquid Heet and we're on the road. The car rides rough at first and Dan pa'nics, humming old Sinatra tunes through his nose. But the Honda cooperates and we make our escape.

6:48 a.m. Sunday - Between Grand Forks and Fargo. A wave of anti-Nodak sentiment overtakes us. "I'd rather be a quadruple amputee in the ghettos of Sao Paolo, Brazil, than the mayor of Grand Forks," Dave says.

"Karen Ann Quinlan got off easy," Dan says. "She never had to come to North Dakota."

7:24 a.m. Sunday - Ignorance is bliss. In North Dakota it' a lifestyle.

8:05 a.m. Sunday - South of Fargo.

People in Grand forks have summer trailers in Fargo where they can drink Hamm's out of different refrigerators.

8:50 a.m. Sunday - "Yea, thought we drove through the valley of death."

1 p.m. Sunday - Omaha. We stop for fuel and d·rainage. Dave asks the attendant for the bathroom key and he says simply, "Bathroom's done been vandalized." Dan points out that vandalism covers everything from fire-bombing to a little stall verse done in ball point. "Is it pissable?" The attendant shakes his head sadly.

2 p.m. Sunday - An open letter to Noel Olsen drafted somewhere near Kearney, Neb. - In response to the Division II demagogue who mistook Grand Forks for the Las Vegas of the Arctic Circle, you should be driven to Grand Forks and placed in a cage with a rutting bull elk on acid.

Grand Forks is central to nothing except for the Winnipeg Grenadiers and their awesome buying power.

6:37 p.m. Sunday - We saw a glowing tangerine sunset slung low on the prairie.

We refused to recognize its beatuy. There's nothing like a pollution-enhanced Denver sunset.

We arrived back in Denver in the early a.m. of Monday, some 2,000 miles and 70 hours from what in retrospect was a mindless decision. But we saw some great hoops and to the 17,000 of you who weren't with us -even in spirit - we remind you, the pen is mightier than the ice and lasts longer than an 85-80 final score.

We know why you attend Metro: to avoid the hype and collegeiate babbler (and, oh yes, to earn a degree), but in the past three months the Roadrunners have provided more publicity for this school than any past event. Maybe something's wrong with that picture. Regardless, we'd do it again. We're addicted.

Church administrators decided to work with the government on the Auraria project and built the St. Francis Interfaith Center, which was created to provide a place for students to gather, rooms for social and academic events and counseling services.

The center was also built with funds from the Bonfils Foundation.

In 1983, the Franciscans turned over St. Elizabeth's to the Capuchin order, which has been in the Denver area since 1970.

Today, the church continues as a source of peace and strength to its members and a scenic landmark for the Auraria Campus and the city of Denver. o

'Runners hopeful despite loss David 0. Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

It's always easier to get out of a poker game when the biggest pile of chips is in front of you.

The Metro State Roadrunners, after completing their finest season ever (28-4), are leaving the Great Northwest Conference as conference champions.

They will play in the fledgling Colorado Athletic Conference next year, a league that will consist of several former NAIA schools along the front range, including University ~ of Denver and Regis college.

Their defeat in the second round of the North Central Regional playoffs was the end of a run to respectability for a program that, in past years, received the death penalty from its own fans. Men's basketball at Metro was ~ discontinued for seven years following the 1978 season.

"These guys have accomplished a lot," Metro coach Bob Hull said. "We've got a little gym. We roll up the bleachers. And, for these guys, with no dormitories, they've , accomplished a lot. They've made me look - good as a coach.

Indeed, it was almost fitting that the Roadrunners should come to the end of their road so far from home. Many of the fewer than 800 fans that Metro averages for each home

'*

game have never seen the Roadrunners lose.

Their 27-game home<aurt win streak still remains intact.

Despite losing four of his five starters and five of his top seven players, Hull hopes to continue the team's winning ways in what should be a competitive, but weaker, league.

"We're going to have to rebuild," Hull said. "We've got a good nucleus back, but we've got to bring in some players, too. We want to be good next year."

To that end, Hull has been keeping his keen recruiting eye on prospects around the country as well as some homegrown Colorado talent, including Manual's Kendale Johnson and Overland's Anthrius Johnson.

Hull's returning nucleus will include Metro's all-time leading assist man, sensational point guard Adrian Hutt, big men Larry Kent and Don Kennedy, redshirts Fred Brown and T.J. Milan and Kirk Smith.

Guard Gene Edwards, who shattered Metro's single-season scoring record this season with 625 points, wished North Dakota good luck in the tournament and praised the "successful program and hard work" of the Metro squad.

One question that Metro's first-ever playoff appearance brought up was site selection.

North Dakota, who came into the tournament with a 24-6 record and the No. 15 spot in the national rankings was awarded host

status despite Metro's 27-3 record and No. 3 national ranking.

"Under the rules as they stand now, I think (the Fighting Sioux) were totally justified having the site here," Hull said.

"North Dakota has great fan support and great tradition. They deserved it."

One of the reasons cited for Metro's bio for the regionals being rejected was an inadequate facility and the inability to guarantee a certain amount of revenue.

With a scheduled $3.2 million expansion of the gymnasium, including 3,000-seat permanent seating, Metro will be better equipped to land a future bid.

"We think we're going to be able to make some attractive bids in the future," Hull said, but he is unsure whether they will be able to draw the estimated 4,000 fans North Dakota did on an icy evening.

"We have a lot of competition for the entertainment dollar in Denver with the pro sports and the skiing," Hull said.

Hull would not blame a partisan crowd for the tough loss in North Dakota, but he hopes a future regional will be in Denver.

"The coaches are going to get together and talk to the NCAA about trying to set up the system ... where the higher seed should get to host the regional," Hull said.

So look for some possible rule changes next year and look for a competitive Metro team.

Baseball stumbles on road trip Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

With most baseball fans' attention focused on the latest major league controversy, Metro's baseball team has been largely overlooked. They have been in action since late February, with a record, thus far, of 7-6.

The Roadrunners took a road trip to California during spring break and, after winning the first two games, dropped the last four. Coach Bill Helman was not pleased. ''This was not a good trip for us," he said.

"Everybody just seemed to slump at once."

Helman said be thought playing six games in six days might have worsened the losing streak by not giving the players a chance to rest. The team was either travelling or playing, he said.

In addition to that, the teams Metro played were all what Helman called "topnotch teams. One team had a relief pitcher who had already appeared in about 20 games. A relief pitcher who's been in more games than we've even played," he said.

The road trip started on a high note. First baseman Jim Cluck hit a three-run homer to lead an 11-0 rout over Western Baptist, Oregon.

Then they beat Wisconsin Superior, 3-1.

In that game, junior shortstop Mark Schonebaum hit the first home run of his life.

Both of those games were played at neutral fields in California, Helman said.

During the game against San Diego, outfielder Ken Sutton hit a grand slam to give the 'Runners a 6-5 lead going into the seventh inning. But they couldn't hold the

lead and San Diego won, 10-6. The game was decided by a squeeu bunt which went into the air and was lost in the sun. "It should have been an easy double play," Helman said Against Cal-Baptist Riverside, Metro gave up seven runs in the sixth inning en route to a 17-3 drubbing. Southern California College then beat Metro 9-2. Jim Cluck hit another home run in that game, raising his teamleading total to six.

The 'Runners ended the trip March 24, by losing to Cal~Riverside 14-4.

Helman said he was somewhat surprised by the team's lack of run production, especially in the last four games.

"We have a number of real hitters on this team and we can score in bunches," he said.

"But we didn't play well. The teams we played were at mid-season form and we weren't."

He said despite the lopsided losses, the pitching was probably the best aspect of the overall team performance. He was also pleased that there were no serious injuries during the trip.

Helman noted individual performances

by Sutton, catcher Andy DeWitt and reliever Donnie Bjorhus.

Sutton currently has a .408 batting average, four homers and 18 RBis and DeWitt raised his average to .394 during the trip. Bjorhus has a 1.42 ERA and 13 strikeouts in just over six innings of work. He also has one save and four hits to his credit.

While a losing streak like Metro's could be of understandable concern to a coach, Helman said he isn't worried.

Green said he felt the students shouldn't be penalized for enrolling in the wrong class.

Madrid directed the question to Walsh, who had worked on the issue before.

"It's a college requirement, leave it alone," Walsh said.

In closing, the vice presidential candidates made their remarks on what needs to happen to make the student government ;_ better.

Chandler spoke for Albright, who didn't attend the debate, and said their primary goal was to change student government and make it better.

Montoya cited the "huge communication gap" between the student government and ~ the students, and spoke of ways to make the gap smaller.

Walsh said she wanted to create a serviceoriented government, and take action in office.

Holden said next year's student govern- .• ment is going to "be based on experience."

Brewer said he wanted to work for the students and "do the right thing."

Fransen said he wanted a Joe-Citiz.en-onthe-street type of representation to give students a voice and get them involved.

Elections for ASMSC offices will be April 3, 4 and 5.

Students of Color Coalition to have their own column in The Metropolitan that would inform students of the BSA's office location, when their meetings are held, and include current issues that are affecting minorities.

Calderon said that the column should be written by minorities, from "our perspective, not yours." .....

Plank said that he would not give them a column because if he did, every other student group would want one as well. He said the Political Science Club at MSC asked him for a column in February and that be had told them no.

MSC Student Senator Joe Navarro was at the meeting and made the following suggestion: "I think there is a lack of cultural sensitivity on The Metropolitan staff. I don't know if there are any minority students in the decision-making body, but I think if there '-:. were, there might be a little more sensitivity and that might be one thing we would want to consider: that we, as a coalition, think about offering somebody to attend meetings (at The Met) and offer suggestions."

•... I lust feel Ilka I'm hearing a lot ol llp service.'

,

Plank said he bad no problem with that idea, and that no minorities had applied for jobs at the paper.

"I'm not hearing what I came here to hear," Calderon said at the close of the meeting, "and I really don't feel that we've resolved a whole lot. I feel that the BSA has .. been adversely affected by this. School is almost out and we have a reputation based upon a lot of stuff in The Metropolitan as being whiners, crybabies, and none of our positive things have been covered. And it will be my recommendation, I can't speak r for the coalition, but rm going to hold a special BSA meeting to ask the members what they want to do because right now, I just feel like I'm bearing a lot of lip

service."

Summer is rapidly aproaching. You're probably wondering how to combine the fun of summer with the reality of working .....

At Harrah's Reno the summer is the most exciting time of year! The area's recreational activities abound with golf, tennis, water skiing, boating, hiking, fishing, or just relaxing in the High Sierra sun on the beaches of Lake Tahoe, less than an hour's drive from Reno. And work is just as much fun, with the continuous thrill of greeting new guests and meeting the day's challenges.

We are looking for enthusiastic, outgoing applicants who would enjoy serving our guests. On April 10, 1990, Harrah's Personnel Representatives will be on campus to interview for summer positions in the gaming and food service departments. You are invited to complete an application and sign up for an interview in your Career Planning and Placement Office, Arts Bldg. Room 177, or stop by to see us on the 10th! , '- ~- ,;d-J..Lk .ls' I

REFERENDUM #1 Intercollegiate Athletics has historically been funded through the Student Activities Fee. The Student Affairs Board voted to establish a separate Intercollegiate Athletics Fee at their meeting April 22, 1987. This decision was agreed upon by the MSC President and the ASMSC Student Government, with the following provisions being met: •The fee would be assessed at the $13.00 per student per semester would not increase until the end of the three year trial period .
