ffthe word "required" makes your stomach turn, especially near graduation, the General _ Studies Committee at Metro has a surprise for you. The committee is recommending the establishment of a required three-hour course which focuses on various ethnic and cultural groups. In hearings held April 9 and I 0, the • committee heard favorable opinions about the added course. Rep. Wayne Knox, DDenver, said he would like to see the multicultural course introduced into the general studies requirements at Metro. Suburban schools tend to reflect one ~ predominant ethnic group, leaving many students without much experience with other groups, Knox said. "I'm sure [students'] knowledge of the history and the problems of the social values of the variety of ethnic groups leaves much

to be desired. I feel, a5 an urban institution, if Metropolitan State College is to improve a pluralistic society and a multi-ethnic society, it involves some depth of understanding of it," Knox said. Although still in the preliminary stages, the multicultural course would need to meet several criteria before being established. The guidelines include: • Exploring the formation and evolution of cultural values. • Acquiring in-depth knowledge of at least one culture that differs from the mainstream American culture. • Studying the interrelationships of at least two cultural groups. • Analyzing the factors which lead to the formation and continuation of cultural groups within a society. • Investigating the role of bias, prejudice and discrimination in reinforcing and perpetuating multicultural distinctions within a society. • Developing a sensitivity to the cus-

toms, behavioral patterns and identities of diverse cultural groups. George Becker, a professor of biology at Metro, said he thinks the course would be beneficial because higher education is Jacking general education. "I strongly support this proposal," Becker said, "because I believe that the college education covers aspects of education, but probably centers on three factors: skills training ... general education ... and profes.5ional-education training, or how to make a living. "I believe that we are dealing with issues in general education here and that we are doing our students a disservice if we send them out into our pluralistic society without a formal education to the many definable groups within our society and how they see themselves. And, above all, how they interact within our American society." Tracy Phariss, a Metro graduate and a member of the Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance, said he believes that a multicultural

course that discusses homosexuality would reduce the high rate of homophobia.

"If this curriculum includes sexual orientation of gays and lesbians, it will focus on the needs of the people who come here," Phariss said. "Ten percent of this campus is gay or lesbian ... it would be extremely beneficial for the students, and eventually the general society, to include the section of sexual orientation of gay and lesbian individuals." Lyn Wickelgren, chair of the committee, said that the new requirement would not necessarily mean that three credits would be tacked onto the total hours needed for graduation. She said she would also like to see the whole process expedited. "Now we have the hearings, so things are starting to move along. Hopefully, there will be a closure in the matter by the end of this semester. If everything goes well, the course would most likely be implemented within a year, like the fall of 1991 ," Wickelgren D said.

Gym facelift leaves questions A large portion of construction should be completed by this fall, Feuerborn said. Construction was scheduled to begin during the summer, so only a minimum number of PER classes would be disrupted, said Dennis Bryan, a Metro student who is a member of the Physical Education Event Center Policy Advisory Council Since the referendum was passed, time has been spent selecting the architectural firm Anderson, Mason & Dale, and approving final plans, Bryan said. Construction is expected to cost $4.1 million, according to AHEC. The reason for expanding the PER Building is to alleviate overcrowding and to provide space for an event center and more recreational activities. Built in the early '70s, the PER Building is designed for a campus of 13,000, according to information supplied by SACAB. Current figures place the number of full-time students using the PER Building at 19,000.

MSC surveying tape Metro State's surveying and mapping program has produced a new 17-minute video tape. It is intended to inform potential students about career opportunities and the high-tech nature of the profession. I may be viewed in the Auraria Library at any time. The title is "Surveying and Mapping - an Engine e ring-Related Profession." Most of the video was photographed at the national convention of the profession held in Denver last month. Students John Ruhl and Paul Valdez are shown exploring the exhibits in Currigan Hall. Narrating the tape is Randy Fortuin, a 1989 graduate of the program now employed b y Greiner Engineering and assigned to the new Denver Airport project. The script was written by Porter McDonnell, professor of surveying.

Higher student fees and more construction obstacles on campus will pay off in a year when the Physical Education and Recreation Building's facelift is complete. Beginning next fall, each student at Auraria will be charged an extra $13.50 every semester to pay a bond that is financing the PER Building's re-construction. But in the referendum election held November 1988, students voted to pay the extra fee with the stipulation that they would not begin paying it until construction was complete, but no later than the fall of 1990. Construction was originally scheduled to be finished this fall. Now construction, scheduled to begin in mid-July 1990, will take at least 10 months to complete, said Dick Feuerborn, AHEC's director of Campus Recreation. However, advertisements that ran in all three campus newspapers before the election said, "the fee will not be collected until the semester following the opening of the expanded facilities." The Student Advisory Council to the Auraria Board, who paid for the ads, wrote the referendum and ran the election. Out of 1,717 students who voted, 70 percent, or I, 195, voted yes to the expansion. It will take 20 years to pay the construction bond, but the fee might rise with inflation, said Jim Schoemer, AHEC's executive director.

Students can now look forward to an event center, which will be the gymnasium, remodeled with electronic retractable bleachers and wooden floors.

Timothy D. Robertson The current policy regarding no-credits and incomplete grades at Metro could see substantial changes in the upcoming academic year. According to the F acuity Senate Academic Policies Committee, changes in the no-credit and incomplete grade policies would most likely occur due to vagueness, loopholes and inconsistencies that now exist. Bob Hollenbeck, a professor in Metro's biology department and

....

chair of the FSAPC, said he is interested to see if there is a consensus among the faculty for changes in the current policies. "There are concerns among administrators about these policies and we've generated a survey and distributed it to the faculty. This way, we can get a feeling for what the faculty wants as far as changes are concerned," Hollenbeck said. According to the current Student Handbook, a class can be dropped before the second to the last week of a semester with faculty permission. A no-credit will be given. Some academic departments have

"If we're going to be expecting students to pay the bond fee, there should be no way that people can be able to just walk right in," Feuerborn said. Students will have to show a valid school ID to use the facility, he said. After construction, the new PER Building will be managed under an advisory council, similar to the Student Union Advisory Board. The Student Union was also built by a bond that is being paid with student fees. o

On Thursday, April 19 a groundbreaking ceremony will be held on the Auraria Campus to celebrate construction of a multi-level parking garage. The project will get underway after three years of feasibility studies to determine appropriate size, location and capacity to meet present and future campus needs. Construction cost for the Auraria garage is approximated ... at $12.5 million. The design complements the architecture of the campus, low buildings with brick facades and horizontal strip view openings. A night lighting circuiting system will lower power consumption during the day and provide lighting at night for security operations. Another special security feature is a close circuit television system and voice activated sound system on every level, within elevator lobbies and at each stairway exit.

A new soundproof gymnsasium will also be built as an alternative space for when the event center is in use. Expanded locker rooms and storage areas will be built on the north side of the building. A second level will hold conferences and banquets. A large lobby, to be used as a concession stand during events, will be built on the building's west side. The lobby will also double as a space for campus-wide ticket sales and an aerobics classroom. Plans include two new raquetball and squash courts and a 3,000 square-foot weight room.

their own policy. An incomplete grade can be used up to the last week of class and the work must be completed within one year. However, if the incomplete grade is not made up within a year, it becomes an "F." Metro President Thomas Brewer said in a meeting with student government officials last January that this gives some students too much slack. "I've heard a lot of complaints from students about the NC issue - that they really work hard all semester in class, and students sitting beside them flunk four tests and walk out the last day of class. Students have told me that this angers them," Brewer said. "You can have a legitimate use of a no-credit and an abuse of a no-credit. We are the only (urban) institution that we [the administration] can find that will allow a student to drop a class without any justification until the last day of class," Brewer said. inconsistencies exist in the nocredit and incomplete grades from department to department. Hollenbeck said one teacher may have set guidelines for when the student can declare a no-credit and

other teachers may give a no-credit whenever they please. Besides tightening up the loopholes, Brewer has also expressed concern about the effect a nocredit has on a student. "I'll guarantee you that all sorts of grad schools see every N/ C on the transcript and consider it an 'F.' That is automatic, and there is nothing we can do about that," Brewer said. A few of the questions on the survey Hollenbeck distnbuted were for ranking the current no-credit policy, possible deadlines beside the existing ones, whether the faculty members should have flexibility with the deadlines, the percentage of students in their classes that seek no-credits, and also their preferences for new no-credit policies. "We sent out the forms on March 26, and a really good percentage of faculty returned them," Hollenbeck said. "So far, we have got 140 back out of 360 full-time faculty, or so. I'm really curious to see the results." The Academic Policies Committee will meet Friday, April 20, to tally the results of the survey to see what changes should be made. o

Martin debate divides senate Robyn Schwartz The Metropolitan

Two former members of student government's executive branch accused president Kelly Martin of misrepresenting herself in the recent elections and asked the senate April 18, to investigate the charges. Former student government lobbyist C. Mason Golden asked the senate to investigate the issue and asked for a Judicial Board ruling to prevent Martin from holding office for a second term. Kevin Miller sent the issue to be investigated by the Rules Committee April 25.

Golden introduced his accusations against Martin to the senate in a written resignation prompted by Martin's alleged misconduct in the elections. "For me to continue in my duties with full recognition of this deceitful and wanton behavior would constitute condonation and acceptance of said actions in contemplation of vicarious liability," Golden said. He said that Martin told him on three different occasions of her plans to resign. Martin alledgedly ran for president with the intention of resigning after the summer semester to give the office to Dan Holden, her running mate. After Martin won the election, several people said that Martin told them of her plans. Former vice president Bill Jermance also said in a letter to the senate that he resigned because of Martin's alleged misrepresentation. Later, he said that Martin was only one of several reasons for his resignation. "We, as elected officials, have a duty to uphold the public trust," Jermance said in his resignation statement. "There's a little thing called duty," he said, referring to what he felt was his ethical duty to make public Martin's conduct and alleged intentions. Former Sen. Joel Kleg defended Martin's actions by saying she was a good politician in the true Machiavellian style. He said being deceitful and manipulitive is good American politics. "Whether we like it or not, that is the essence of American politics," he said. "Kelly is a good politician." Kleg said. "She knows how to manipulate people.

Biii Jermance (left) and Kelly Martin at last year's debates. Machiavelli would be proud of her. "I voted for her because I knew he (Holden) would be president.

"It's not against the constitution," Martin said. "When the nation elected George Bush, it was with the full knowledge that, if something happened to him, Dan Quayle would become president. "Students did not vote blindly." Sen. Jeremy Stuhl said that she deserves any repercussions that may result from the investigation.

"What she did was wrong. If she does resign, she's violated the ethical code," Stuhl said. Stuhl is the chair of the Election Commission.

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," Sen. Gregory Kennedy said• of the accusations against Martin. Green said that Martin specifically told him that she was running so that Martin could resign and Holden would become president. Green said that Martin told at least I 0 people that she was running in order ~ to give the presidency to Holden. "Every year, someone wins the election. Every year, someone contests it," said vice president-elect Dan Holden. D

Career Services offers job hunt tips Lilly Cho The Metropolitan

A question that plagues most graduates every May is, "What now? Four years of college has got to amount to something. Maybe a job?" The next logical step after graduation is the job hunt. The Office of Career Services provides students with a better knowledge of what is available in the job market, said Career Planning Coordinator Katherine Goldberg. Goldberg said students' options are broader than they seem, but most people complain that "they can't get past the receptionist."

Goldberg said the first step in any job hunt is research, which includes "information interviewing." "The best way to find out what your career is really like," Goldberg said. "is to ask someone in that field. Information interviewing is the best source of the negative and positive aspects of any career," Goldberg said. Before you start calling around for potential employment, make sure you read all available background information. "Nothing is more irritating or embarrassing than asking stupid questions that could have been answered with a little reading," Goldberg said.

'JWl,n;\A1'f\~~1f1/111,m:A '."'11

"More importantly, don't start with an information interview and turn it into a job interview," Goldberg said. "Information was your original goal, stick to that." Information interviewing, Goldberg said, fu Ifills 10 purposes: • To focus on your career path if you are undecided. • To locate industries that are booming or dying. • To help you become adept in interviewing techniques. • To eliminate misconceptions about preparations you need in order to be hired. • To find special courses or part-time

work that will develop your skills in your field of interest. • To seek out "problem areas" in your field and where you can be the solution. • • To develop contacts. • To provide local and up-to-date information. • To sell your skills. • To share information. The Office of Career Services also offers free workshops on resume writing and mock interviews. It also helps students in career planning, resume writing and job interviewing. Upcoming workshop information can be obtained in Arts Building Room 177 or call 556-3477. D

Sullivan also said that Hamden is upset because he was not selected to be a part of CU-Denver's delegation.

Harnden, who attends both CU-Denver and Metro, said he chose to go with MSC's delegation instead. "Basically, what we have is two people with an axe to grind and combine with "Advocate" editor, Kevin Amsberry and see what you've got," Sullivan said Amsberry wrote the article about Sullivan's alleged impropriety. Montoya said that, while in New York, she received a number of phone calls late at night. Hamden said that someone blocked his hotel room door with potted plants. And nobody knows who vandalized a statue that appeared in a conference room with a noose around its neck in the morning, although Hamden said the finger was initially pointed at the Metro delegation. Somebody also pulled a fire alarm on the floor the Metro students occupied, calling the New York Fire Department to the hotel in the middle of the night. A security officer at the Grand Hyatt said a false fire alarm occurred the week of the Model U.N. Conference. But that was the only prank the hotel's security had any knowledge of.

Allegations and accusations, as reported in the CU-Denver "Advocate," tainted a trip Metro and CU-Denver students took to a Model United Nations Conference in New York City last week.

Some Metro students allege that CUDenver student Jerry Sullivan harassed Metro student, Amy Montoya, during their stay at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan. However, according to the Hyatt's personnel department, the "Advocate" quoted non-

Amy Montoya Metro student Jeff Harnden, who led the delegation to the conference, said that a conflict arose weeks before the trip when Montoya rejected Sullivan's romantic advances. But Sullivan said that Montoya has an axe to grind becaP<>e be broke up with her. "It's common knowledge that I would never, ever be seen in public with a man no, boy - Like Jerry Sullivan," Montoya said. "How can I have an axe to grind when I never went out with him?"

"You can't take these students' words as gospel," the officer said, who would not give his name. "I can assure you that the information is misleading. It sounds like a lot of phoney, bogus information." Although Amsberry quoted Rich Harris as the chief of security at the Grand Hyatt in bis article condemning CU-Denver's Legal Studies Club and Sullivan for participating in the trip, the personnel office there said that no one by that name works there. "The first I heard about any of this was Saturday night," Sullivan said. "The 'Advocate' knew about it before we did. Montoya and Harnden were rumormongering long distance back to campus." Amsberry said in his article that he talked to the security chief Friday, April 13." Montoya said she filed a complaint with the conference's sponsors, but the Chief of Staff of the Model U.N., Tim Morris, was unavailable for comment. Hamden said that Sullivan had been banned from any future conferences. Montoya said that Sullivan, who is running for a position on CU-Denver's Student Government, has left her alone since the group returned April 15. Apparently, Montoya's lawyer told Sullivan that if the harrassment did not stop, she would press charges. o

Chief preaches racial tolerance Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

Two hundred ninety students, faculty and staffof Auraria's campus packed SL Cajetan's on Thursday, April 12, to listen to Chief Wilma Mankiller, principal chief of the Cherokee nation, speak as a part of the celebration of Women's History Month. Mankiller spoke on "Women in Native American Society," and discussed racism against native American Indians, sexism against women and the battles she has taken on, fought and won as the first woman Cherokee nation chief and leader of her people.

Mankiller has a long history of lndian activism and in 1982 became the founding director ofthe Cherokee Nation Community Development Department. In 1983, she ran for Cherokee deputy chief and president of the Tribal Counsel and won, serving from 1983 to 1985. In 1987, Mankiller went against the stereotypes of a Native American woman and ran for Tribal Chief against three strong opponents and won the ~ition. "When I ran in 1983, no one cared about my political views but were more concerned that I was a woman," Manktller said. ''They would stop me and tell me that leadership was not a woman's job but that leadership

was for men only and that if I were to be elected the tribe would be a laughing stock. When people would say things like this to me, I truly didn't know bow to respond because I thought it was such a ridiculous issue. ''Sexism, like racism, is very hurtful and it is very dehumanizing. So I dealt with it by ignoring it," Mankiller said. Mankiller expressed in her speech that she is not the stereotypical television Indian chief that fights wars, rather a modem day chief that fights a new type of war. Her war is against illiteracy, racismJ poverty and inadequate housing and health care. She said she feels that she is an advocate for her people as well as a social worker, lobbyist and governor and views her position as a CEO of a medium-sized corporation. She has helped to establish head-start centers and adult literacy programs, scholarship programs, youth and drug programs, six primary health clinics and the Cherokee Community Loan Fund, which helps small businesses. Mankiller shared her experiences she has had with other elected officials and their reactions to the fact that she is a woman in a high position. "The first time [attended a Tribal Council meeting, there was a large table with a group of men sitting around it and microphones at each chair," she said. "There was not a place for me so I pulled up a chair and joined them. There was one man who continued to ignore me and would interrupt me whenever I tried to speak. Once [ became chairperson for the committee, I learned how to control the microphones and whenever that particular man decided to interrupt me, I just simply turned off his microphone."

Chief Wiima Manklller

Mankiller stated that she was disappointed that there were not more women in elected positions in state, local and county positions. She said she feels that women need to be overqualified for a position to even be

considered for the job. She said most of the jobs that are being taken are by men with less credentials than women. Society will know when things are changing for women when an elected, highly paid position is given to a mediocre woman. "Feminism to me is about choices. You don't have to fit a rigid mold to fit in," Mankiller said. "I think I represent a different kind of Cherokee feminism. What I consider to be women's work, by that I mean the work that promotes the role of women in society, is done within the context of the community. I have a strong feeling that if I bring women and men together, that is just as much a part of my role to educate sexist men." Mankiller also spoke of concerns she has over Native American Indians being viewed through "the drunken Indian stereotype," and her efforts to try to combat it. "When I was elected in 1983, I made a personal decision not to drink at all. It was a signal to my people and others, particularly young people, that one can have an interesting life without alcohol any time, under any circumstances," Manktller said. At the close of Chief Man killer's speech, she spoke about racism and how important it was for her to speak to college students and others to dispel the myths about native Americans and stereotyping minority groups. "I want to try to stop the stereotypes we have about one another and begin to understand more about others and their culture and deal with each other as people. There are negative stereotypes towards blacks, women, Hispanics, Asians, native Americans and gay people that must be stopped," Mankiller said "What I'm doing here tonight is to give you a little glimpse into our world and into the contemporary Indian world in hopes of eliminating any stereotypes of our people and to eliminate any stereotypes any of you students have about what an Indian o chief looks like."

East Drive-In back from death's door Jacque Williams The Metropolitan

The drive-in theater, an edifice firmly etched in the post-40s history of the United States, is an endangered species. However, thanks to the courage and innovation of Denver entrepreneurs Steve Vannoy and Philip Simms, the East DriveIn will live again. The drive-in, one of only four left in Denver, had closed last year after United Artists decided not to renew its lease on it. "This (theater) was slated to be gone by the wrecker's ball last fall ," Vannoy said. "We saved it.'' Vannoy and Simms, owners of the Kodiak Theater Corporation, decided to reopen the theater last year after doing an intensive study. "Before we decided to do it," Vannoy said, "we went out and asked people why they quit going to drive-ins. Why (drive-ins) died and what would bring them back. And they told us exactly." The reasons they heard included safety,

cleanliness, sound, food, prices, and the desire for something more than just a movie.

the entertainment industry, representing actors and models.

In response, Vannoy and Simms have hired armed security guards as well as private security. They've cleaned up the restaurant and will serve homemade food at competitive prices.

Simms' wife, Anet, prepared the menu for "Corvettes," which will include homemade piu.as, submarine sandwiches, chicken wings and nachos.

Vannoy and Simms also have worked with the FCC to get an FM radio frequency that would play their movies. Vannoy said you can either listen to the movie on the customary drive-in speaker, or tune in to FM 97.9 on your radio. They have even thought of the "something more." "There'll be a massive art gallery," Vannoy said. ''There'll be picnics, volleyball, contests, drawings, antique car shows. People wanted to come early and hang out. There'll be story-telling for the kids (and) dance lessons." Vannoy and Simms combined their talents to reincarnate the East Drive-In. In 1946, Simms' father built the screen at the theater which now shows the larger-than-life movies. Simms, an MSC graduate, sold popcorn at the theater as a boy. Vannoy has worked in

The theater opened on Wednesday, April 11, with the first showing of "Crazy People" starring Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah. The second feature is "Internal Affairs,'' starring Richard Gere. The lot holds 860 cars, and tickets will be $5.50 per person for the two shows, cartoons and all the playground fun. Children under 12 get in free with their parents. The reopening of the drive-in is aimed at two main audiences, according to Vannoy, "Families with children and young adults who just want to have fun. A large part of our research and our marketing is aimed at college - because that's the biggest age for drive-ins. That's who loves drive-ins the most." The East Drive-In will be showing firstrun movies, as well as movies not yet in the video stores, Simms said. The gates will

open at 6 p.m., and people are welcome to bring picnic dinners. There will be volleyball nets set up for games before the show and viewers can visit the art exhibit. The movies will start when it gets dark. Another major attraction will be the antique car shows. The clubs will be invited to park their cars around the lot so people can come by and see them. "There's about 110 (car clubs) around town that we're working with and so far the interest has been wonderful," Vannoy said. "Later on in the summer we're gonna go dusk to dawn," Anet Simms said. "Try tb get some of the restaurant people and bar people whogetoffworkat2(a.m.)anddon'tbaveany place other than a Denny's to go to." So if you're a nostalgia buff, or you would just like to do something different for a change, head on down to the East Drive-In. For $5.50, you can take in an art exhibit, go see two movies, have a barbecue, play a little volleyball, and perhaps see a car show. Don't forget the kids. Pajamas are essential attire for them. And you might even get to hear someone else read them a bedtime story for a change. o

AH EC chases paper Libby Becker The Metropolitan

Since the AHEC's new recycling program, We-cycle Office Wastepaper, began in midMarch, more than half a ton of office paper has been saved in about two weeks, said Kelly Roberts, a recycling specialist from the Colorado Office ofEnergy Conservation. Using recycled paper to manufacture new paper produces less air and water pollutants, consumes 50 percent less water, and saves approximately 17 trees and 2.5 barrels of oil ~ per ton of paper manufactured, said Karen Reinertson, director of the Colorado Office of Energy Conservation. WOW is part of "Recycle Colorado," a program established by an executive order from Gov. Roy Romer for the promotion and development of recycling programs in state government. The goal of "Recycle Colorado" is to conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of paper disposed of in Colorado's landfills. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves three cubic yards oflandfill space, Reinertson said. In office trash, over 40 percent is paper, said Maggie McConaghie, business manager and organizer of AHEC's WOW program. . Paper fills 40 percent of our landfills.

"Pretty soon we'll have nowhere to throw the stuff," she said. There are more than eight AHEC offices participating in the WOW program. AHEC is being used as a pilot program to see how effectively WOW works, McConaghie said. "We hope to get all of Auraria involved late this summer or early this fall." AHEC chose the WOW program because it was well organized and worked well, said Bruce Pendland, peer counselor. Pendland was responsible for getting AHEC involved in the program. WOW is working well because it is easy to use, McConaghie said. Each office desk has a "desk collection unit" to keep recyclable paper in. The paper is taken to an outside storage area where it is picked up and taken to be recycled. AHEC gets monthly reports from the Colorado Office of Energy Conservation telling us how much paper is saved. Not all office paper is recyclable under the WOW program. Acceptable paper includes copy machine paper, letterhead, white tablet paper, computer printout paper, typing paper and miscellaneous white paper with staples. The program recycles only high-grade white office paper. "It takes time for people to get used to not throwing everything away," Pendland said, "but the program is working well."

Metro alumnus Charla Bevan, alias Bernadette Peters, doesn't mind the comparison. "Yeah, 111 be the Bernadette Peters of Denver ... at least she's someone I adore " Bevan said. ' But don't let Bevan's appearance deceive .,._ you ... her sophisticated, yet childlike approach to life, and her music, are refreshing. "Your music never leaves you ... it's like riding a bike," Bevan said. Bevan's first release in 1986, "Shady Waif," was acclaimed by local and national jazz connoisseurs. The album features five Bevan originals, and three classics, including "Over the Rainbow" and "Georgia." She created her own music label, Crying Swallow Music, to produce the album. Bevan financed the majority of the project out of her own pocket Bevan said she enjoyed the experience of producing her own album, because it gave her "total artistic license." She said she firmly believes that someday she'll be discovered by a major company.

Charla Bevan Bevan's eyes sparkle when she talks about why the release of her second album has been delayed. "I fell in love," she said. She was married last year, and has recently been grappling with issues like buying a house and starting a family. After all, "I'm in my mid-30s," Bevan said. You would never guess her age by looking at her. Bevan is petite, yet sturdy. Her face is framed by golden-blond curls. Bevan blames her late graduation on the fact that it took her 170 credit hours to graduate from Metro. She graduated in 1985 with a contract major in music production. When Bevan moved to Denver from Kansas, she couldn't find a job singing in a nightclub, so she sang in the concourses of Stapleton.

Hippie or not, it was profitable. Bevan said she averaged $27 an hour. She eventually got a gig and performed at nightclubs such as Clyde's Pub and the Wazee Supper Club. Bevan acknowledges that she could gain more popular appeal if she went for the pop/rock sound, but said jazz is her passion. Bevan said she did some experimenting to ~nd her niche. She did countryI western gigs m Kansas, and sang in various bands before falling in love with jazz. Bevan sings jazz like nobody else. Her sultry voice caresses each note, while she explores the vocal possibilities that each song presents. Even her rendition of"Somewhere over the Rainbow" is refreshing. If you haven't heard the "Wizard of Oz" classic a la Bevan . . out. ' you' re IIllSSmg .Bevan's rich alto voice is smooth, yet cnsp, and she possesses an uncanny ability to feel the rhythm and emotion of her music. Bevan plans to go into the studio this summer, and release her second album sometime next fall. She said that the album will consist of old jazz standards. Bevan said she plans to "landmark all the jazz" she did during her extensive tour of the local jazz circuit. When Bevan releases her second album she will re-release ''Shady Waif' and marke~ the~ as a set. "Shady Waif' is currently available only at select outlets. Bevan cites the immense cost involved in marketing an album as the reason behind the package deal. "Charla Bevan isn't a household word," Bevan said. Her goal is to make herself visible enough to catch the eye of a major record company. Denver isn't considered an acclaimed and innovative jazz center, but Bevan doesn't let that discourage her. "I believe that Denver is going to be a great mecca again someday," she said. o

Pay it and they'll build it, build it and they'll come. Two years ago , I was fortunate enough to attend the second game of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland A's.

Stop election whining

My entire life I had dreamed of going to the World Series. And here I was , I thought, one of the 56,051 luckiest people on Earth. The evening was perfect. Game time was at 5:30 and the temperature was about 70 degrees. My friend Harper and I had box seats behind the Dodgers' dugout on the third base line about eight rows up - close enough to see the sweat on the brow of the then-tubby Tommy Lasorda or to see the tiny white pebbles of chalk bordering the field . Even after pop singer Debbie Gibson's praiseworthy rendition of the national anthem (I was certain that her voice would sound like a rusty gate swinging in the wind) , the energy from the crowd was un like anything I had felt before and never let up throughout the entire game. And , as Lady Luck would have it, neither would the Dodgers. Shoe-in future Hall of Farner Orel Hershiser was masterful on the mound of L.A. Even Hershiser's parents , who threw the traditional first pitch to start the game, both tossed strikes. Sinkers. low and away. The Bash Brothers from Oakland, the most monstrous lineup in the history of the game, were no match for the Dodger Ace who more closely resembles a computer nerd than a finely tuned athlete. The Bashers were held to three hits, all by Dave Parker, and with a kick of sand to their faces, Hershiser went three for three at the plate. He pitched Jose Canseco's and Mark McGuire's bats back into the bat rack faster than you could say "Musclehead." It was David and Goliath revisited. Oakland was slated to sweep the series and crush the spirit of Los Angeles like a stale crouton.

Editor,

L.A. won the game 6-0, leaving the A's in a dust of rosin. Some say it was the biggest upset in sports history. All I know is that it was the most exciting, memorable sporting event I have ever attended. Of such stuff, legends are made. After the game, I said to Harper, "My God, how have I been able to live in Colorado without major league baseball?" His answer was direct and enlightening. "I know," he said . " It sucks." On Aug . 14, Denverites will go to the polls to vote for a 0.1% sales tax increase which wi II be used to construct a new stadium along with funds raised by the private sector. To build it will cost about $100 million . Without the stadium , there will be no expansion team. Let's forget, for a moment. that you can have more fun at a baseball game than even a 5-year-old can have while burning bugs with a magnifying glass. And all for a ticket price of about $7. Instead, why not focus on the "major league" dollars it would pump into our sagging economy. A team in Denver would not just be unique to Colorado, but to our entire time zone . The states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming , Nebraska and Kansas account for over 10 million people. Many of them would have easy, inexpensive access to Denver games and would bring with them tons of cash to shovel to local merchants and industries throughout the city which, in turn , would create jobs. The 0.1% sales tax increase would cost a family of four about 83 cents a month for maybe 20 years. I wish my beer tab were that low. Support for a major league expansion team will benefit us all. Lack of support is putting holes in our own pockets. o

Now that the student government elections are over, the new student government should be able to start preparations for next year. Right? Wrong ! First the election commission must sift through the tons of complaints designed to oust Kelly Martin and Dan Holden from office. I only wonder why the elected (or in this case, those wh o failed to get elected) officials of the student body can not be gracious losers. This year (as in every year) they cla im that the contestation is in the best interest of the students. (Like the students really care about student government.) This year's reason: Kelly Martin allegedly ran with the intention of stepping down and handing the presidency to Dan Holden. So what! She told everybody that she was going to do it, except the press. (Maybe she actually learned something during the last year.) In fact , the other candidates used it as a weapon against her. Maybe Kelly Martin is so popular that even t his

could not stop her from being elected again. (I hope not, but it is a remote possibility.) There may indeed be students who voted for her so that Dan Holden could be president. I did! (Don't ask me why - I was under the influence of book ink fumes at the time. So much for 18 credit hours in one semester.) The point is really simple. The students decided t hey want another year of stupid government. If that is what they really want, let them have it! Regardless of what those who are contesting the elections feel, the students have the ultimate say in what is in their best interest. While it may be true that less than 7 percent of the students voted , it was the right of the 93 percent who did not vote to do so. Maybe that 93 percent who did not vote are saying that student government at Metro is so bad they don't want to have anything to do with it. And to tell you the truth - I do not blame them.

Romer talks census Editor. Just as your decision to seek a college education will impact your future as an individual, your decision to respond to the 1990 census questionnaire will impact the future of your university. The data collected from the 1990 census wil I be used to allocate an estimated $38 billion a year for financial aid , research and other programs which affect higher education. In addition, companies seeking to locate in Colorado, and who will be recruiting from our state universities and colleges, are strongly influenced by factors such as Colorado's environment, the quality of public education, availability of child care centers,

hospitals and recreational facilities. The distribution of federal funds for these, as well as other programs, is based on census data. Colorado could lose $350 per person each year for everyone not counted. An undercount of just one-half of one percent could cost the state $117 million in federal funds during the next decade. Your response to the 1990 census will help assure that Colorado receives its fair share of these funds. Thank you for your cooperation.

Campus restroom terror must stop Editor, I'm amazed and impressed with the facelift occurring on our campus - tremendous trees and perky little pfitzers, interlocking walkways and curby park benches. Gosh! We're starting to look like a real college campus, a true-to-life mecca of higher education. However, take a trek into some of the campus restrooms and you may get a different "flavor" altogether - they stink. For starters, how about these paint jobs? Peaked blue and almost orange? Anemic shades of the famously feeble Denver Broncos. Do we really need these constant reminders? And every once in a while, I'd like to see a few sinks that aren't gummed up with (1) gum wrappers, (2) chewed blobs of gum, and (3) toilet tissue! (Don't you people know where this stuff is supposed to go??) Which reminds me, how about taking some of the several hundred thousand dollar "campus crusade for classiness" funding and actually invest in some Drano for the drinking fountains? It's bad enough when that nice cool water is sickingly lukewarm (tried that one on the second floor, West Classroom lately?), but to have it back up and back splash is serious affrontery. (You know the ones I mean - any fountain in our Auraria Campus Library.) Moving right along, let's get to a few of these tricky stall doors that won't latch shut. You have four defensive moves here: (1) prop your art portfolio or backpack in a strategic position, (2) wedge a hard-drive disc where

the latch should be, (3) beg a stranger to hold the door from the other side, or (4) balance on the " edge of your seat" and butt your head against the door for privacy (but only if you 'e tall enough). And a hook behind the doorforyour purse, book bag, etc.? It's a game of "What's behind door number three, Monty?" A lot of the time you'll wind up pil ing everything you own on the sparkl ing clean floor because the hook is (a) missing, (b) broken, or (c) hasn't been installed since this city had a pro-hockey team . All you ladies can identify with this one: those clever, antiquated little machines for "personal products" that are all sold out in your time of greatest need, or else someone's quarter is conveniently jammed into the slot. Well, what's to do? Use a paper towel? Not on your I ife, sweetheart, because ... For your safety and convenience (and to thwart that obnoxious "towel litter" which, as everyone knows, breeds like a hamster in heat), Auraria custodians have installed those noisy, blasting and time-consuming hand dryers: the wonders of modern disease control! You know all about these gizmos, with their ever-sosociable push-button knobs that have probably been punched more times than Sean Penn's friendly photographers. This is sanitary?? Equally as bad, when campus forefathers were blowing all the hot air, why couldn't they have anticipated a hefty and helpful ventilation system in the process? After an onslaught of "cubicle customers," a breath of fresh air would be someth ing to absolutely die for.

...

Anybody try to put on lipstick, comb their hai r, f ix a contact lens in front of the one-and-only mirror attached to each restroom wall? As you all know, it's a BYOF endeavor ... Bring Your Own Flashlight. Lighting is not a priority in these dens of inequity. And God forbid you should spill a cu p of tea, cup of coffee, Cup-0-Noodles in your classroom. Just t ry yanking one of those popular, handy-dandy wo nder dryers off the wall to dehydrate this type of mess. (Any dryer, that is, except the one in the South Classroom by the snack bar - the one by the mirror that has bl own cold air for over four years now.) Choices for this sloppy emergency call for quick mop-up with (a) your coat, (b) your classmate's coat, or. (c) that wadded up hard-as-a-baseball Kleenex in your jeans pocket that has gone through the wash six times already. One day, our new campus is going to be a beautiful work of art - plenty of places to enjoy the great outdoors, sit in the sunshine and watch the plants grow. I only hope the landscaping grows fast enough for a little personal privacy after a whi le. Because, if you're offered a choice between the Auraria Campus restrooms and a fresher, fragrant, more natural setting, you'll probably opt for a tree that is tall as opposed to a smel ly · dark stall.

It's 8 a.m. on Monday, April 16. The sky is overcast, but allows the last streaks of sunlight to creep into and blend with the fluorescent Lights of the Auraria Library. Inside, the streaks of sunlight spy on the usually tranquil setting. There is activity in the gallery at the entrance of the library, as {Cheryl Rhodes, Billi Mavromatis, Les Lewis, Mary Duell and a handful of other volunteers put the finishing touches on the NAMES Project display. "I'm hoping through this we can educate the campus," Rhodes explains. "This does not belong to the homosexuals and it's not just on the outside." She is referring to AIDS and the AIDS Quilt Memorial that is currently on display on campus. Rhodes is an AHEC employee, a graphic artist and a member of the core committee that helped bring the NAMES Project and its message to campus. Rhodes lost her brother, Rodney, to AIDS in October of 1989. In conjunction ' with the memorial coming to campus, she helped organize a quilting bee to make a quilt for her brother and to allow others to make quilts for those they have lost. She explains that it helps them work through their grief. Rhodes said that there were at least 30 volunteers coming and going through the course of the bee. "I can count 11 panels here," she said. "There is a lot more turnout than I thought there would be."

Rhodes explained that the quilting helps in healing one's own grief, but it is also like another loss when it's time to give the quilt to the project. She said making the quilt is like trying to get a job, in that a person used a great amount of energy trying to get the job, only to come down after getting it. "I haven't really thought about it, but on May 4, I know I will have to let go again," Rhodes said. "It's learning to go through grief - it means just crying and then going on." May 4 is the date the memorial will leave the campus and the quilts made during the quilting bee will be sent to San Francisco to be included in the main Quilt. At 11:45 a.m., a podium with a microphone is assembled on the steps of the Auraria Library. It will be used to read the names included in the memorial. Rhodes steps up to the podium and begins with the "A's." The sky, now dark with clouds, doesn't stop the curiosity of passing students. The crowds are growing as passers-by stop to see what the commotion is all about. Volunteers are manning tables and circulating through the crowd. They are also there to offer support to those who need it. "Sometimes people just need a hug, and that's what I'm here for," Andrew Carr said. Carr, a volunteer both at the quilting and the display, said that there are people who just breakdown at the display. "A woman had said that she lost her uncle and she started crying," he said. "I told her to just hug me and squeeze me as hard as she could."

. METROPOUTAN

Lori A. Fleming The Metropolitan

Veterans face unique problems when they return to civilian life. Many lack the education and training to re-enter the job market. But there is help for veterans at MSC in a program called Veteran's Upward Bound. Jake Lindsay, the program coordinator, said the educational concept of the program is- "learning to learn." In addition to classes in the basic academic areas such as math and English, the veterans also spend time in study skills, civics and career counseling and guidance. The 12-week course also includes weekly activities such as field trips and workshops. Everything the veterans do is focused on preparing for post-secondary schools. Lindsay said the program's graduates go on to colleges, universities and vocational schools. Then the veteran will "be able to have something in hand to offer an employer," Lindsay said. The federal government funds the program through the same federal title that funds Upward Bound, a program for high school students. Lindsay said there are about 30 branches across the country. MSC has the only branch in Colorado. Glenn Morris established the branch at MSC in 1972. He has been the director of the program since then. All of the staff, including Lindsay and Morris, are veterans. Veteran's Upward Bound is set up so that veterans, both with and without a high school diploma, can participate, Lindsay

April 20, 1990

said. The veterans are given the opportunity to benefit from the college preparatory classes. And for those without a diploma, a general educational development exam is given during the last week. There are no direct costs to the veterans. They need to supply only their own writing materials. The program supplies all of the necessary books. The veterans may use the same resource materials that MSC students use, such as the math and reading laboratories and the library. The requirements for the program seldom disqualify any interested veteran. They must have been honorably discharged from the military and be a U.S. citizen. There is an economic requirement, which most recently discharged veterans will meet. And for those who don't, the federal government started a new criteria several years ago

•

Jake Lindsay, program director And the veterans succeed. Lindsay said the program easily meets the government's requirement of placing 75 percent of their graduates into post-secondary schools. "It works," Lindsay said. Veteran's Upward Bound is also a referral service for all MSC veterans, not just those in the program. L1ndsay said he has references for veterans to get help with issues ranging from drug abuse to financial assistance.

called "first generational status." Veterans can get in the program if neither of their parents have a bachelor's degree. But the program is by no means a free ride. A veteran must be self-motivated enough to attend classes for four and a half hours, Monday through Thursday. The veterans can attend either the morning or the evening session. They are allowed to miss only 2 and a half days during the 12 weeks. And they have homework as well. Lindsay said the program is successful, both for the veteran and the federal government. He said the government is getting a good return on its dollars because these veterans go on to be tax-paying and productive members of society.

The Denver Vet Center is one place veterans can go. The center is staffed with doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Lindsay said the staff members are Vietnam veterans so they are familiar with the veterans' experiences. Lindsay said many Vietnam veterans returned to this country and experienced culture shock. Their combat experiences

were not the same as veterans from previous wars. Lindsay said there were no support services for these veterans, and many did not realize that they experienced some of the same psychological and social problems as other veterans. Veteran's Upward Bound is a support service capable of helping all veterans who want to change their lives. The course is a rigorous one. Veterans must get satisfactory grades and show improvement on a basic skills test given the first and last week of the course. Those without high school diplomas must get the minimum GED score required for admission to Colorado post-secondary institutions. The administrative offices for Veteran5 Upward Bound are at 1024 Ninth Street Park, Room 202. Veterans should feel free to stop by or call 556-3024. o

'Nunsense' ·habit forming Kirt Ace Begler The Metropolitan

Tap dancing, the "Wizard of Oz" and a bottle of "Rush" combine for a perfect .., evening of "Nunsense." Director/producer Rick Seeber has done it again by bringing another hit musical to the Stage West theater. "Nunsense," which replaced the phenomenal comeback of the '60s musical "Beehive," is a musical comedy by Dan Goggin. > Just as the title would suggest to the audience, the musical depicts a group of nuns rehearsing for a benefit show. However, these nuns are not your average rulerslapping gals; they're funny, talented and an overall rowdy bunch of animals. Yet, we won't suggest penguins. The play opens with immediate audience participation as members of the cast mingle with the crowd before Act I. Then, as is appropriate, the show begins with a warm welcome from Reverend Mother, Sister • Mary Regina. After the welcome, the show is introduced through the number, "Nunsense is Habit Forming." Indeed it is! The rest of the show follows the sisters through their preparation of the show and their explanation of how they got to the positions that they are in. It also tells of their many dreams and choices that have lead them to the convent. The predicament that leads them to this show has to do with a freak accident involving poisoned soup. I will divulge no more, to avoid spoiling the fun. This show is definitely one of the funniest and most entertaining that Stage West has presented. Each actress not only fits her part to a "T," but allows the audience to believe that maybe nuns aren't all that their stigmas suggest. All of the women in the production do commendable jobs - from their solos to their group dance numbers, such as the tap

dancing included at the end of the first act. However, it must be said that each has her own individual style that brings the characters alive. Sister Mary Amnesia, played by Brenda Faatz, is the brightest on stage in her portrayal of the sister that can't remember the dance routines, much less her own name. As the program suggests, she is truly a lost soul. She has come to the convent with no recollections of the past except that a crucifix fell on her head.

Ruth Seeber and Glenna Kelly round out the cast as Sister Mary Regina and Sister Mary Hubert. Seeber plays the reverend mother, who, after a childhood accident, entered the convent and left behind her dream of showbiz. Kelly is the mistress of novices - who wants the reverend mother position - and bolds the motto "more gentle, but firm." The five together couldn't create a sin in this show if they tried. The show is great fun that doesn't necessarily have any underlying message - but does a great show have to? So, for anyone ready to suffer the agonizing pain of sore sides, "Nunsense" is a show with predictable one-liners, but is intoxicating nonetheless. Besides, you can leave your rosary at home and not have to cover your knuckles with tape to protect them bringing your sense of humor will be just

Her most memorable scenes occur in her "Quiz" segment, when she hands out actual prizes to the audience, and her "So You Wand to Bea Nun" number where she hasa trick up her sleeve - or gown, as it may be. Sister Mary Leo, played by Melissa McCarl, wants to be a ballet star. Although scolded by the Mistress of Novice, Sister Mary Leo shows her talent during her "Benedicite" number. Yet, her best scene is during the hilarious "Soup's On (Ballet of a Dying Nun)" number that is a tak~ff of "The Flying Nun" television series. Sister Robert Anne, played by Laura Luman, the streetwise sister, who during the number "I Just Want to be a Star," shows her true colors. Although the reverend mother won't allow her to be in the show, she comes to the resuce to save it from being cancelled. Who would have guessed that during her dashing on and off stage the Wicked Witch ofthe West, Carmen Miranda and Bat Nun could all be included in one simple black and white get-up. She may be the trouble maker, but she deserves a hand for her effort.

"Cleve Jones founded the NAMF.s Project Foundation in 1985 and got the idea for the quilt after a candle light march in San Francisco," Lewis said. "He was always a social radical and, to put it frankly, he was always stirring up shit." The idea was spurred by the death of one of Jones' friends. Marvin Feldman, and the quilt for Feldman became the initial quilt in the NAMES Project. Lewis also said that it began as a neighborhood project that just grew. By 1987, nearly 2,000 panels were included" Lewis said. Lewis explained that the size of each individual panel was chosen to represent the average size of a grave. He said that, through the quilt, people can be educated in what AIDS really can do and this particular display is aimed at the campus. "Young people have the feeling of being immune to everything, and not subject to

major tradegy, that's the major tragedy," Lewis said. "It gives meaning to a meaningless four letter word." It is 4:30 p.m. and one of the last volunteers to read names had taken his place at the podium. The drizzle begins lightly and the list has reached the middle of the "M's." Inside, the crowds have thinned, but the traffic of onlookers is steady. The tapes are still running and people are still signing the signature quilt that will also be incorporated into the main Quilt. "I'm pleased so many have volunteered to read and help," Mavromatis said, "but I really like standing outside while the names are being read and having someone come up to me and aske me what we're doing." Mavromatis, staff assistant at the MSC Student Health Clinic and core committee member. explained that, when word came that the panels would be available, she knew that the clinic would have to be a part of it. "We want students not to forget that it can affect them, and to remember, during

any new sexual encounters, they are at risk," she said. Mavromatis said the thing that amazes her most is that there were people who were HIV positive that helped work on the quilts. She said they are all strong and helpful, despite their illness. "I want to be strong, but it even scares me," she said. Mavromatis' main message, however, is to let people know just what AIDS is about, and how many are affected by this disease ._ and how many have died. "If nothing else, I hope everyone at least goes by and sees the Quilts' sections," she said. "Now is the time to get involved, not when it's too late." The NAMES Project display will be on campus through May 4 and related merchandise will be on sale in the Auraria Book Center during those dates. All proceeds go to the NAMES Project Foundation and all donations go to the CAP facility to be distributed among local AIDS agencies. D

drop 2 to Regis Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

Metro's baseball team geared up for an upcoming in-state tournament on the wrong foot, dumping a doubleheader at home to Regis last Tuesday, 5-3 and 15-8. "(Tuesday) was one of the worst days I can remember," coach Bill Helman said. "Once the floodgates opened, the mistakes just kept happening." Regis rallied to win both games, but the second game was particularly difficult for the Roadrunners to swallow. Metro had an 8-6 lead going into the top of the seventh inning, but Regis scored nine runs for the sweep. Also in that second game, senior third baseman Bob Dampier suffered back spasms and had to leave the field. His status is uncertain for the tournament, which began April 19.

Metro's record is now 20-13 after splitting twin bills with Colorado College and Mesa State, sweeping University of Denver and the Regis losses. Helman was happy about Metro's road performance against DU. The 'Runners won 6-0 and 17-5 before returning home to split with Mesa State. Anthony Cortez picked up his 20th career win for Metro in the 5-3 victory over Mesa. Mike Nussbaum also recorded his 20th, a 9-3 win over Colorado College in Colorado Springs on April l l. Mesa won the second game 12-7, snapping senior Scott Novak's unbeaten record, which is now 4-1 . Metro also dropped the Colorado College nightcap, 11-3. Outfielder Rusty Befus tied the school home run record in the first Mesa game, then broke it in the second. Befus is a junior and now has 33 home runs in his career at Metro. He has nine homers this season, as does Jim Cluck and Ken Sutton. Helman said the weather may have been a factor in the losses to Regis. "Sometimes you lose concentration from trying to stay warm," he said. "The better team will overcome it, and (Tuesday) we weren't the better team." The tournament beginning April 19 is an informal, round-robin which wiJI pit Metro against eight other teams. Each team will play the other once, and the team with the best overall record wins the tournament. The only drawback, Helman said, is that Metro must play those eight games in four days. Nevertheless, he expects the 'Runners to win the tourney, with a record of at least 6-2. "Anything less would be disappointing," he said. The other teams in the tourney are Regis,

... Pitcher Mike Nussbaum winds up.

DU, Mesa State, University of Northern Colorado, Colorado School of Mines, Fort Hays, College of the Southwest and Western New Mexico. Following the tourney, Metro is off until

April 26, when they face DU again at Auraria Field. By that time, Helman said he will have a good idea how well the team could do in the NCAA regional tournament, which begins May 16. o
