MSCD prof charged with assaulting student/lover Carolyn Bauer and David 0 . Williams The Metropolitan

·.

A trial date looms for an MSCD history professor charged with destruction of private property, disturbing the peace, and the assault of a female MSCD student - his former girlfriend. Charles E. Angeletti, 52, a tenured history professor allegedly grabbed, pushed, shoved and hit Katherine A. Lineberger, 23, with closed fists on May 12 at her Capitol Hill apartment, according to a Denver police domestic violence report. Angeletti is an MSCD professor of 23 years and was the faculty trustee to the Trustees of the State Colleges at the time of his arrest. He was arrested on the three misdemeanor counts by the Denver Po-

lice on the Auraria Campus May 14. The trustees are the governing body of Mesa State College; Western State College, Adams State College and MSCD. Angeletti's one-year term as the faculty trustee expired June 30. Also, Lineberger filed a sexual harassment complaint May 21, against Angeletti with the Equal Opportunity Office at MSCD alleging verbal \ md emotional abuse. "I never did anything in a classroom or any other campus setting or in the course of any Metro-related activity whicb Ms. Lineberger now claims was harassment," Angeletti said in his July 20 response filed with the Equal Opportunity Office answering Lineberger's complaint. In the same document, he said that be and Lineberger did have a consentual relationship. According to Lineberger, she had a

class with Angeletti in the fall semester of 1985 and they began dating in the spring semester of 1986. The consentual relationship was off and on for the next four years, she said. . "I had low self-esteem and he was yards above any man I'd dated before," said Lineberger who said she was abused and was the victim of incest as a youth. Lineberger, who graduated in May but is taking one class this semester, said she grew more self-confident while at MSCD and her relationship with Angeletti changed. On the night of May 12, according to officer Shane K. Webster's report in the affidavit for arrest warrant, Lineberger's front door bad been kicked in, she had red marks on her neck and arms, and was very upset. Lineberger told Webster that she asked Angeletti to leave her apartment and he

Megan Coble, an MSCDfreshman, listens to one of the 60 representatives at the Eighth Annual Career Exploration Day. Students were able to pick up literature, attend a variety of workshops, and speak to representatives at the many booths. The event was sponsored by the Office of Career Services and took place in the Student Union, Sept. 26.

There may be hope for students faced with endless piles ofreading assignments. Dr. Barney Chin-Shong, associate professor of sociology and speech communication, is offering a course in understanding and processing what they read. "The class will work on text book reading, but more important, every thing that's read," Chin-Shong said. "The course uses scientific inquiry as a model for organizing information. This is the real basis of comprehension and subsequent evaluation of whether the claims are acceptable," he said. According to Chin-Shong, the sender's communication goals and the receiver's informational needs are not always the same. The author wants to relay a message, but that message is sometimes influenced by such things as sex, ethnicity, self-definition, social ties and material good of which the reader is unaware, he said Information has two major components, the subjective and the objective. "When the reader understands how the subjective and objective work together they will betterunderstand whatthey read." The course, SPE L90 - Communication Analysis, is worth three credits and the call number is 7093. For additional information call the Academic Assessment and Support Center at 556-4327. a

Tylenol creates scholarship fund

Can a vendor, who is also a Metropolitan State College of Denver student club member, waive the $25 vendor table fee to Student Activities? The answer is no, unless the club is receiving at least a 50 percent cut of the vendor-club member's profit. According to a memo generated from questions, the illegal intent is on the behalf of the student because he/she is utilizing

bond fund facilities and an MSCD club for personal gain under false pretenses. But this interpretation of an Auraria Student Union guideline - had also caused come confusion for club administration. When given a hypothetical situation, MSCD Student Activities Director Yolanda Ericksen said she thought it might be illegal, but she wasn't sure. She said it might constitute legal grounds if a club member "uses a table for their own personal gain." Ericksen said, the situation, to her knowledge, has never come up. But, she added," I don't know

if it's occurring .. .it' s never been raised. "I don't think we want to step in administratively, but that type of set up doesn't showcase the club," she said. ' Ericksen also said she thought this was an issue that might need to be addressed. MSCD Clubs Coordinator Ed Quayle said he didn't know the legalities involved in this particular club arrangement, but added he thought the situation could be "lucrative" and one that needed addressing. Emerson Holliday, division director at Auraria Student Union

and Conference Services wrote a memo which "clarifies the policy that already exists." The sales table policy in the Student Union Guide details nothing about illegal intent. It allows student organizations ,with at least 50 percent of the gross revenue going to that student organization, exclusion from any fees from the use of the table We are in the process of writing campus solicitation policies because of complaints and gray areas," Holliday said. Holliday said there is no limit prohibiting the number of days a club can occupy a table and it's based on first come, first served.O

Hazel hath no fury when a wallet's found Based on the APS reports, Hazel Gonzales, a memberof the CUD library staff, sounds like the amazing-wallet-finding woman. She found three wallets in one hour. How did she do it? It sounded too good to be true. It was. Upon further questioning, she revealed that the wallets had been in the library's lost and found for some time. Gonzales decided to turn them all in to APS together. Which brings

us to this point: If you have lost a wallet in the library, stop by the check-out counter and see if it's there. Gonzales said that missing wallets are usually kept for a couple of days before APS is contacted. This time the library had them for a couple of weeks. Who did the three wallets belong to? The identification inside of them listed the owners as: Chung, Small and Kadell.

Senator awarded for championing Indian rights Robyn Schwartz The Metropolitan

U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) spoke amid fans and protesters at the University Memorial Center on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder Friday, Sept.

14. The senator drew standing ovations for his speech while members of the Rainforest Action Group, a student group at CU, held up a banner reading "Senator Inouye, don't native Hawaiians need their rainforests too?" The banner referred to the development of geothermal energy sources in Hawaii's Puna forest. The senator, who is the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs, was invitedtoCUbytheNativeAmericanRights

Fund in Boulder, CU' slaw school and the its Center for Western Studies. "He's been a real hero to Indian people," said Charles Wilkerson of the CU law school. "He's just gone the extra mile for Indian rights legislation," Wilkerson said . lnouye is reputedto have spent more time on the lndian Affairs Committee than on any other committee, including the Defense Appropriations Committee, which has a $287 billion budget. The senator is hailed for his work on the Indian Affairs Committee and pushing for legislation for Native Americans. The CU Faculty Committee for Critical Studies of the Americas voted unanimously to give him their first America's Award, which is presented "for some distinguished person who has promoted and protected the liberty, individuality and human rights of the peoples of the Americas," said Ray Williams, chair of Indian Affairs at CU.

MSCD history professor arrested for assault ANGELETTI from page 1 went into the hall, and kicked in the door before leaving, she said. "I do not want to be tried in the papers," Angeletti said when questioned by The M etropolitan about his relationship with Lineberger. "The only reason I'm not willing to talk to you is because I don't think it's fair to either party." Angeletti declined further comment, directing additional questions to his attorneys. Although the Denver County Court tria~ was scheduled for Oct. l, Angeletti was granted a continuance because his original attomey, Karen M. Ashby, withdrew from the case. If convicted, Angeletti faces a maximum 6-month jail term and/or up to $999 in fines, Ashby said. Angeletti pleaded not guilty at his arraignmenthearingand,onMay22,requested a jury trial. Judge Doris E. Burd issued a permanent restraining order June 18, barring Angeletti from contact with Lineberger. An MSCD sexual harassment hearing

a hearing date, according to Percy A. Morehouse, Jr., director of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president of MSCD. Morehouse would not discuss any other aspect of the Angeletti case, but said, "We are trying to tighten up our sexual harassment policy. "The college absolutely will not tolerate any kind of sexual harassment or assault not condone it in any way and will deal with it when it is brought to the college's attention," Morehouse said. MSCD President Thomas Brewer refused to discuss either the Angeletti case ur MSCD's sexual harassment policy, referring inquiries to Morehouse. James A. Jablonski, the attorney representing Angeletti in the sexual harassment case, was out of town and unavailable for comment. The criminal case will be handled by attorney David A. Lane who said, "I anticipate filing an entry of appearance.'~ This would make Lane the attorney of record. He would not comment further.

NARF also presented him with an medallion made by a Pueblo Indian as a token of their respect. Inouye challenged Native Americans to make "idealistic, daring proposals" to the government regarding water rights, health, education and tribal sovereignty. He said he would like to see a Native American ambassador for Indians in the United States. "This is a new chapter on lndian Affairs and it is written by the lndians, not by Washington," Inouye said. Inouye spoke of a resurgence of Indian power as a political force. He said they are an important factor, citing incidents of Native Americans teaching government officials and Ph.D.s in business suits how to run fisheries and solve agricultural problems. lnouye said that they are now demanding what they are due from the government and holding on more defensively to their sovereign lands and water rights.

"Why can't we give them the pound of gold they ask when they have obviously given more than a pint of blood?" Questions after the speech were mostly in reference to the rainforests in Hawaii. The senator defended his support of geothermal energy development, but gave no specific arguments for his view. "I personally think he's a great senator, but I disagree with him on this issue, " said Doug Momberger of the Rainforest Action Group. Momberger said that the rainforests are not being completely tom down, but that they are being infiltrated with roads and encampments. After development, "it just won't be a rainforest anymore," he said. "I thought the protestors added to the environment ofthe evening," said Wilkerson, who hosted the lecture. He said that the presence of the protestors was a positive element in what is considered inherent in the nature of a university. 0

Heath, panel struggle with S&L scandal Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan

-c·;.,

Seeking to understand the implications of the Savings and Loan scandal, which could end up costing $500 billion, around 100 people participated in an open forum panel discussion on the crisis Sept. 25, at the Tivoli community room. However, even for those on the panel, putting together the S&L puzzle with so few available pieces, proved to be a difficult task. Panelists included Stephen Pizzo, coauthor of "Inside Job," Pete Brewton of "The Houston Post" and Tracy Mott, a professor of economics at the Unjversity of Colorado. Democratic Senate candidate Josie Heath and a representative for Republican Senate candidate Hank Brown also sat with the panel and commented on the discussion. Pizzo, whose book is a detailed study of the S&L scandal, began the discussion by going over what he and his co-author had found while investigating the crisis for their book. Just as the first hole in the Earth's ozone layer was a warning that an important link of the environmental system was being destroyed, Pizzo said, so too is the S&L crisis

is a warning that a link in the economic system of this country is being taken advantage of. In either case, he said, if actions are not taken to halt further abuse, one link could break, causing the system to destruct. Pizzo called those involved in the S&L scandal financial vampires who sucked the life :Out of the American financial system, then spread the corruption to accountants, appraisers and elected officials, compromising those ·who should have kept the situation from happening. Heath commented on this compromising of elected officials by saying that those who allowed themselves to become tangled in the crisis, allowed it to happen, needed to be removed from from office. "Until the insiders are turned out and the outsiders are brought in, these problems won't be resolved," Heath said. Brewton, an investigative reporter who has uncovered links between the CIA and several failed S&Ls, continued the discussion, saying that those who say that the causes were benign and that the crisis was really nobody' s fault obviously haven't looked at one bad loan. Brewton said that, while his paper had found signs of CIA involvement, a lack of cooperation from the organization and those involved has kept them from exposing the paperwork that would bring out all those involved. "Working with the CIA is like being a

Governor's campaign

Andrews wants less government, more student activism Gary Williams The Metropolitan A self-proclaimed product of the 1960s college generation, John Andrews, saw political activism firsthand. He said that today 's college students have adecreased awareness of the importance of political participation. Andrews, a Republican, is the underdog challenger to Gov. Roy Romer' s re-election bid. The platform that Andrew's is running on; the Freedom Agenda, is one of less government and lower taxes. "I believe in limited government, free markets, individual freedom and individual responsibility," be said. Founder of the Independence Institute, a bipartisan think tank in Golden, Andrews has served on the Colorado Council of Higher Education, and supported the CCHE when

they requested more financial aid for students with need. Healsochairsaneducational advisory committee for President George Bush. The voucher system Andrews supports, which would allow parents to choose what school their child would attend, would create competition among the schools, he said. This competition, he feels, would generate a better product, and consequently send more high school students on to college. Petition efforts aimed at getting the voucher system on the Nov. 6 ballot did not get enough signatures. Young, career-minded people looking to start a family are perfect allies of his opportunity oriented political agenda, Andrews said. "Students are stepping into the most promising time the world has offered in over a century," he said.

" Gov. Romer is a cheerleader, not a visionary leader," Andrews said. " Romer is concerned with establishing special interests." He said that Romer's penchant for raising taxes could keep Colorado's economy in a slump. "Students graduating from college will be entering the work force and need jobs available to them," he said. Andrews claims that the statistics used for the unemployment rate in the state are skewed because 50,000 people have moved away, meaning that less people are looking for jobs. Citing the large income tax burden of Coloradans and many large public works projects that are current! y being undertaken, Andrews claims that Romer has turned his see ANDREWS page 7

MSCD alumnus down and out in governor's race Chery! Suazo The Metropolitan MSCD alumnus Robin Heid has been kicked off the gubernatorial ballot on a technicality, but he said he is still a candidate even though the Libertarian Party, which nominated him, may have alreadyfound his successor. Heid was seeking Gov. Roy Romer' s job until a state judge ruled last week that he was not a member of the Libertarian Party long enough to .qualify. Heid said he may have a case to take to the U.S. Supreme Court, but Secretary of State Natalie Meyer said Heid and the Libertarian Party were trying to "skirt the law."

Colorado Court of Appeals Judge Ralph Coyte ruled last week that Heid is ineligible to be the Libertarian candidate because he was not a member of the Libertarian Party for a full year before that party nominated him as its candidate. Colorado law requfres that a person be registered as unaffiliated or with a political organization for one year prior to filing as a candidate. The American Civil Liberties Union in cooperation with a local law firm filed an appeal with the Colorado Supreme Court Sept 14. Heid's request for the court to make a decision by the ballot deadline of Sept. 17 was denied. Karen Page, Heid's attorney, said that the language in the court order doesn't clearly

state whether the original ruling held or if the case still awaits a final ruling. Page said she will file a motion for clarification, and all they can do is wait. Earlier this year, Heid was a Republican gubernatorial candidate. But at the Republican Assembly in June, when it became clear that neither he nor Mike Strang had enough votes to get on the ballot, they were asked to release their delegates so that John Andrews of Golden could be nominated unanimously. Two months before that assembly, Heid said, the Libertarian Party nominated him as its gubernatorial candidate. Heid is still a registered Republican. see HEID page 7

ANDREWS from page 6 back on Democrats who feel "politically homeless. "Those are the people who feel burdened by taxes, cheated by poor schools, and threatened by crime," Andrews said. He said that he hopes to get these people in his camp, although they may not consider themselves Republicans. One obstacle that has been in front of Andrews is a lack of support from highprofile Republicans, especially from Senate President Ted Strickland. Strickland ran against Romer in 1986 and is supporting him in 1990. "There is a minority in the Republican Party who don't seem to re-

member why they are Republicans," Andrews said. He used a recent "Los Angeles Tjmes" poll that showed the dissatisfaction of the public with the two major political parties as an example of a realignment in the political arena. "There is an earthquake in political parties today," he said. "Parties will be realigned in this election." How does Andrews describe his own party ideology? "I'm a Reagan Republican. You can't.get any more Republican than I am," he said. The major reason for many Republicans (ailing to support Andrews is because of his stand on Colorado's Amendment

One. Andrews supports an amendment which would require that any tax increase proposed by the legislature be put to a vote of the people. Many Republican politicians felt betrayed when President Bush recanted on his promise of no new taxes. But Andrews said it helped his own cause. "It strengthens the argument for a constitutional safeguard about runaway taxes," he said. "When a politician demonstrates that he can't be trusted to keep a campaign promise, then that sharpens the argument for putting it in the Constitution." While spending time as a speech writer for President Richard Nixon during Watergate,

Andrews learned the importance of sticking strongly by his principles. "The intoxication of power led Nixon, and the people around him, io believe the end justified the means, and that they could cut comers on law and ethics," Andrews said. He resigned from his post on Nixon's staff during the scandal, and came away from the experience with a jaded view on Washington politics. "I got Washington out of my system, and·I like the local and state level ofgovernment better anyway," he said. "On this level, you can really implement change and see it happen," Andrews said. 0

HEID from pg. 6

Meyer said that, as a member of the executive branch, she does not write the laws or judge them, she simply administers the laws that have been written by the legislature. "What is said by the Libertarians does not make it law," Meyer said. "The law doesn't change with the whims of somebody who wishes to run illegally." Heid can't have it both ways, she said. If he was sincere about running for the Libertarians, she asked, why is he still a registered Republican? "With Robin's encouragement, there was a move afoot by the Libertarian Party in their own publications about six months ago trying to get Robin's nlll!J.e on the · ballot in both places," Meyer said. ''They hoped that the public would be able to add both votes together for the office, which would not be allowed, so that the Libertar-ian Party would then be able to qualify as a major political party. That's calledtrying · to skirt the law." · To qualify· as one of the two major political parties, the Libertarian Party would have to receive either the first or

second highest number of votes in the last state election. The Libertarian Party is technically a "political organization," which is required to receive at lea~t I 0 percent of the total gubernatorial votes at the last state election. "Natalie Meyer has taken from the Libertarian Party the right to nominate whom they please. She is saying I am not acceptable to her thereby denying the people of Colorado the right to say I am or am not acceptable to them," Heid said. But Meyer said it has nothing to do with personal preference or personal decision. "It is my responsibility to assure the voters of Colorado that names of people who deserve to be on the ballot are on the ballot, and names that do not deserve to be on the ballot are not on the ballot," Meyer said. But, according to Heid, the Republicans and the Democrats have a strangle hold on the American political process. "Not one president has ·been elected since the tum of the century who was not a Democrat or a Republican," he said. "If you ' re not a Democrat or a Republican, or you are a citizen who simply does not like their poli-

cies, you have no choice to vote and no access to the ballot box." However, the case may not be as clear cut as it sounds to Heid, said Dr. Cedric Tarr, MSCD political science professor. "If it's an open and shut case, I think the Colorado law probably would have been struck down before," Tarr said. "My p«rsonal view is that it probably shouldn' t bar a party from running anyone they want. On the other hand, we have to live with the law or overturn it." The Libertarian Party is pro-choice on all issues. The party favors a free market economy and individual freedom and responsibility. Heid, who is the chair of the No More Drug War Foundation, in Denver, said that if he were elected governor he would "relegalize" drugs. He also would veto tax increases, close Rocky Flats, and seek repeal of concealed-weapons laws. Heid, who $aid his occupation is being a professional citizen, graduated from Metro in 1981 with a journalism degree, and in 1986 he earned a degree in political science. 0

"The law is silent about being on the ballot twice or running for two nominations," he said. According to Donetta Davidson, election officer in the secretary of state's office, the Libertarian Party replaced Heid on the ballot with gubernatorial candidate Dave Aitken of Denver. However, Heid said he thinks he has a potential U.S. Supreme Court case because the Colorado law constitutes a membership requirement, and based on the rulings of two U.S. Supreme Court cases, he said, that is unconstitutional. "This goes way beyond Robin Heid and the Libertarian Party," Heid said. "The Democrats and the Republicans, in this case in the guise of Natalie Meyer and an attorney paid for with taxpayers' money, are denying the citizens of Colorado the right to have a choice. Natalie Meyer says you can't be a Libertarian unless you're registered as one, butthe Libertarian Party says that's not true, pay your dues and you can be a member."

Nike exec stresses risk taking in business Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan Black and white images flash on and off the screen, athletes competing in their sports, grunting, sweating, pushing themselves to their limits as the strong, rhythmic beat of the Beatles' hit "Revolution" keeps pace with the flurry of motion. This was no music video, but a commercial, which viewers first saw around three years ago, promoting Nike Inc. products. The commercial represented a revolution for Nike and the way the firm promoted their products·. The company began to pull themselves out of the mainstream of product-oriented advertising, said Bill Zeitz, the advertising manager of Nike Inc. "How does Nike get away without doing product advertising?," Zeitz asked. "The key difference is how we go about it," he answered. Zeitz explained that Nike focuses its attack on enhancing brand identification in order to build equity in their products. This brand identification centers around the pursuit of sports as serious fun . Zeitz was in Denver Sept. 12 to speak to members of the Denver Advertising Federation at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center. After that presentation, DAF President Willa Brown made arrangements for Zeitz to give the same presentation to a group of

about 150 students from several Colorado universities, colleges and art schools, including Metro. As Zeitz walked students through the last three years of Nike television spots, interspersing comments with examples, he explained that much of Nike's success in their promotions was due to the firm's willingness to take risks. "If you 're introducing a new concept, and your palms aren't just a bit sweaty, then it's probably not good advertising," Zeitz said. Zeitz used as an example, Nike's willingness to go out on a limb and use Spike Lee in their basketball advertising. While Lee has recently gained notoriety for his films such as "Do the Right Thing," Zeitz said that "He was anything but mainstream," at that time. As a result of Nike's efforts over the last two years, sales have climbed by a billion dollars and increased their market share from 17 to 27 percent. Zeitz was quick to recognize Wieden & Kennedy, Nike's advertising agency in Portland, for their efforts in the campaigns. However, Zeitz did point out that with the good comes the bad. "When you take risks, it's no guarantee for success," Zeitz said. "Sometimes you make mistakes." Students were shown several spots which, for one reason or another, never made it to the screen. One, designed to target women athletes, featured a jockstrap on· a hanger

which burst into flames. Another which poked fun at collegiate recruiters. However, the successes have far out numbered those which went up in smoke. Another key to Nike's non-product driven advertising is that the vagueness allows for viewers to draw their own conclusions about Nike's message. "It's meaningful because it allows for interpretation," he said. "Some of it's rather obscure, but hopefully there's some meaning behind it all." That somewhat obscured meaning centers around the fact that, while some of Nike's commercials are serious, there is always an element of fun. In summing up Nike's promotional efforts of the last three years, Zeitz said that good advertising respects the consumers' intelligence, maintains a focus, contains some element of human interest and challenges the status quo. "It's better to go down fighting than to stand by and watch," Zeitz said. The presentation was followed by a short question and answer time, in which Zeitz fielded questions from students and faculty members about the campaign and his career. While Brown was pleased with the number of students who showed up for the presentation, she ~aid the direc;tion of the students'- questions and comments after the presentation was not what she had expected. . "I was· little surprised at the type of questions asked," she said. Brown said she·expected questions more

a

Bill Zeitz along the line of how Zeitz got into the marketing business and how he achieved his position at Nike by the age of 35, rather than the general questions, students asked about the presentation itself. Brown said the OAF was planning another presentation similar to this one Nov. 28, which will feature an appearance by Bart Simpson of the television series "The Simpsons." Also in attendance will be Jamie Kellner, president and CEO of Fox Broadcasting. Admission is $5 and reservations can be made through MSCD's marketing department. Ed Cooper, a marketing professor at Metro, said the presentation offered a great opportunity for students to become exposed to many of the·ideas they have learned in their studies. "Most of those issues raised are the exact things ~e reinforce in many of the marketing classes at Metro," he said. 0

OP/ED Ribald resurrections, rice路 remedies revelations running rampant in reprobate rag Dave Plank We live, of course, in a world where information is a most valuable commodity. People pay obscene amounts of money to find out what others are doing, and use the information to make business and personal decisions that change the way we live our lives. Nancy Reagan, let us not forget, arranged_her husband's meeting schedule with the help of an astrologer. It was, then, with a peculiar mix of anticipation and foreboding that I picked up the latest copy of the "Weekly World News" at 7-11. Ordinarily, I read the paper only to find out about stories that the other media will not touch -UFO babies, Elvis masquerading as a gas station attendant in Dallas, that kind of stuff. But this week's issue contained tlieir annual collection of predictions from the world's foremost astrologers. Probably the most bizarre of the glances we are -0ffered into the future-and with this list, that means something-tells us that in 1991 , John F. Kennedy will resurface and declare his intent to run for president in 1992. He'll be seeking the Democratic nomination, of course, but just how this will affect the plans of world's sexiest Bar Exam flunkie/21 st century commander-inchief John F. Kennedy Jr. is not addressed in the revelation. Also in 1991 , CBS will replace Dan Rather with 95year-old, almost completely fossilized George Burns, who will become the most popular news anchor since

Walter Cronkite. We can only hope that instead of "And that's the way it is" closings every night, we'll get "Say goodnight, Gracie." The paper does not, however, say that Gracie Allen will resurface and be his Barbara Walters-type sidekick. As a footnote to all this, I'll add that, far and away, the most interesting predictions in this year's issue come from "leading psychic" Raj iv Oza of Calcutta. His crystal ball conjures up much better tabloid fodder than those of either of his "Weekly World News" cohorts Cynthia Chevalier of Paris or Countess Sophia Sabak of Los Ange les. In fact, Oza's predictions are so superior, so much better than the rest, that elsewhere in the issue it is reported that he has been appointed the new "supernatural advisor" to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Reagan - nice job, Rajiv! Back to page 4 and the predictions where we find that in April, Congress will agree to give every taxpaying citizen of the United States $5,000 cash back with their refunds. It's a good thing, too, because we'll need the money to buy rice. Elsewhere we find that rice will be found to cure acne. The gluten in the rice, according to Countess Sabak, will be found to combat the bacteria that cause zits. The article goes on to say, "'have you ever seen a Chinaman with pimples?' asks one scientist." Truly a thought to ponder. Yes, this is pretty stirring stuff, and I can see the price of rice futures skyrocketing even now. But don't fall into the trap of thinking that these predictions are only useful for the manipulation of stocks and facial

chemistry. Geopolitical concerns are addressed as well. For instance, our buddy Rajiv says thatthe United States will finally assassinate Cuban madman Fidel Castro in August, "liberating the Island's oppressed people and erasing the scourge of communism from the Western Hemisphere." Speaking of the Western Hemisphere, the state of Ohio (yes, Ohio is in the Western Hemisphere) will be found directly above the world biggest oil 路field in January. The strike, according to the experts, will spark an unprecedented economic boom and reduce U.S. dependency on imported oil for good. We are left in the dark, however, about how exactly this w ill affect the situation in the Persian Gulf, which will almost certainly still be volatile four months from now. Well, it hardly takes a psychic to figure out how useful this information could be to the right people. Unfortunately, brevity dictates that we cut this short and leave out the predictions about space aliens really being humans from the year 3089 and begging us to clean up the environment, the scandal of 43 Satanworshipping U.S. Congressmen and the balanced federal budget by September. If you want the whole story, you'll need to trip down to your local 7-11 and pick up a copy for yourself. As a bonus you'll also get stories about space alien poop (no, I'm not kidding) and Soviet troops tracking the abominable snowman through Siberia. Hmm. I could write that stuff. Maybe it's time to get some more resumes made up.

EDITORIAL MSCD requires stricter fraternization policy In Jan. 1985, an Affirmative Action Plan was introduced to Metropolitan State College detailing the behavior expected from "all members of the College community. n In the plan, a whole two pages are devoted to dealing with the issue of sexual harassment of employees and students. The statement of policy concerning sexual harassment seems so well-intentioned: "MSC has an affirmative duty to foster an employment and academic environment free from sexual harassment, sexual intimidation, and sexual exploitation. All members of ttie College community are hereby placed on notice that MSC will not only not tolerate but will take all necessary measures to deter such misconduct and to discipline employees and students culpable of infractions of this policy- including, if appropriate, the dismissal or expulsion of offenders." University of Colorado at Denver has an 11-page policy dealing only with sexual harassment including nepotism, filing complaints and consensual relationships. Under the heading "Consensual relationships between faculty and students in the instructional context," CU-D policy states that "a faculty member who becomes involved in an amorous relationship (consensual or otherwise) with a student . .. shall make appropriate arrangements for the student to transfer to another section of the course . . ." The alternative

offered in the policy is to "disengage from the amorous can arise from amorous relationships and sexual misrelationship" until the course has ended. conduct with administration, faculty members, staff Outside the instructional context, faculty members members, students and any combination of the above. are warned that the failure to withdraw from situations The vehicle for these lessons are a series of fictithat may reward or penalize the student with whom tious situations which usually end in the best possible they are involved may "expose CU-Denver and the way.

LETTERS Sexual assault in library leaves woman wondering I was accosted in the library the Friday before Labor Day. I had never seen the man before, but he asked for my help. As a good human being, I responded. Within 30 seconds I was in the stacks between a bookshelf. and him, his crotch in my back. I am telling you this to let you know these things do happen in "safe" places. This letter also serves as appeasement. Because I did not feel an erect penis, it does not qualify as a class three misdemeanor and the man will not be arrested. I would still not get justice if he were arrested. Maybe I could get some satisfaction from knowing he was off the streets, but his arrest first requires me to identify him in a line up. After he had served a reduced sentence, I would fear his reprisal. So part of me doesn't even want him arrested. Sometimes I wonder why I reported it at all. They can't arrest him for anything, since he didn't do anything wrong in the eyes of the law, and if he does get arrested, his behavior won't be changed anyway. No rehabilitation occurs in · prison. I can't take personal revenge. I am physically not able to beat him up, nor am I psychologically; I can't hunt him down and kill him and I have no thoughts of his castration. I don't want him hurt, I want his behavior changed, I want society changed! I can't control the fact that the society, of which I am a part, has cultivated such a product. I can't change the norms of society. I can't" change the fact that we view each other as objects of possession and that objectification is encouraged! I can't change the fact that one out of three women gets violated and that 58 percent of them don't report it (according to Denver Rape Crisis Center). After going through this, I know why it doesn't get reported. The librarian seemed defensive that I would want the library personnel to know about the incident. What good would it do? "We already put up signs warning of theft," she said. I'm not trying to turn the library person-

nel into my protectors, and I don't hold them responsible for what happened, I just think they should know what's happening in their own environment. "At least you weren't raped," my friend said. If I were raped at least the law would do something about him. But does it have to be rape to count? Does it have to be that severe for it to matter? He rubbed his crotch against me. Isn't that enough for you? "Why didn't you hit him in the nuts?" my boyfriend asked. I didn't think of it. I'm not conditioned that way. I am conditioned to go and help him, as he asked; as I did. The four hours I had in self-defense classes aren't enough to counter a life time of compliance. A man I know said: "Have you thought about learning how to shoot?" I already know how to shoot. Does he recommend I remain in a paranoid state and carry a loaded gun with me everywhere I go? Would that change the likelihood of these things happening? My sister said: "Do you know what you did wrong?" I'm sorry I screwed up. I'm sorry I didn't think more quickly (the interaction took all of 90 seconds). I know it's my fault. I'll never go into the library again. I won't help strangers anymore. I'll modify and modify my behavior and get reconditioned so that violence is my first reaction. What else can I do? The AHEC officer who took my statement said, not to minimize the situation, but even though you didn't get raped, you will still go through the process of being violated and it will take you some time to sort through the feelings. He gave me the number to the rape hotline. He had good intentions, but he's clueless. If only he knew. If only they all knew. I feel alone, angry, hopeless, powerless. Women, physical violations happen here on campus frequently. Watch yourselves so it doesn't happen to you.

Inner-city kids need school with artistic focus On October 2, 1990 at 3:30 in the afternoon the Denver School Board will decide whether or not to support and fund the implementation of a School of the Arts in the Denver School District. _ For approximately eight years some very dedicated and concerned people have been working on the construction of this idea. Their concern has stemmed from what has se.emed to be a very laissez faire attitude towards the arts in the Denver public. schools. It is only recently with an awareness that American students lack in arts literacy that more funding for arts programs in the schools has been initiated. Even then, it has been minimal emphasis. The Cincinnati school of the arts has shown the arts to have a positive effect on school success. Based in the inner-city, this school has documented not only above the national norm in achievement tests but has lowered significantly the drop out rate of the inner-city kids who attend there. Other schools of the arts around the country have shown the same results ~nd yet Denver is one of only eight or nine major cities that does not have one. What. does a school of the arts have to offer minority kids in Denver? How many inner-city, lowincome, children of color have the opportunity to learn to play the violin, the piano or any other instrument? How many of us have had the opportunity to train as professional dancers, actors or in entertainment technology such as; stage design, lighting or construction? How many of us are able to put a masterpiece on a canvas or to write a play? Until now these opportunities have been limited to the Anglo, upper and middle classes who can afford to pay for the private instruction, instruments and training needed to accomplish in the arts world.

The Colorado School of the Arts has been designed to meet the needs of our inner-city kids, to allow them these same opportunities to break into the entertainment fields where minorities are now underrepresented. Even more important than this, it would allow Chicano, Black and other minority kids to build self-concept, self-esteem and success through an emphasis in the cultural arts as well as in the "classical arts." This school will reflect the diversity of our community in its qurriculum and will also reflect the population of our school district which is now approximately 35% Anglo and 65% minority. It is our kids that will benefit the most from a school of the arts in the Denver district. Now for the bad news. If the Denver Board of Education votes this down, more than likely the plan will be picked up by one of the suburbs where very few minorities will benefit. Denver needs to put educational monies into programs that have proven successful and the arts is one of these programs. For this to happen, we need support from the inner-city community. If you know any school board members, call them or write the Denver Public Schools and leave a vote of confidence for the school of the arts. Write or call your newspaper editors, your council people and your representatives or better yet, show up at the School Board meeting on October. 2nd at 3:30 p.m. and show your support. This is for our kids and the Colorado school of the arts needs your support. Denver Public Schools, 900 Grant St., 80203, 8371000. Debora Montoya CU-D student

Cyclists can tour the brilliant fall foliage while raising money for multiple sclerosis - a disease with a high occurrence rate among young adults in Colorado . The Colorado chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is holding its first annual "BikeToberfest" Sept. 30 in the foothills near Boulder. Julie Peters, the special events coordinator for MS 's Colorado chapter, said this is a recreational event, not a bike race. It's an Oktoberfest-style celebration with prizes, entertainment and food, symbolically ending the 1990 bike touring season in Colorado. Riders can choose to participate in a 25, 50 or 100 kilometer tour. And people not wanting to pedal can help MS by sponsoring a rider. Cyclists are asking friends and family to donate an amount for each kilometer they complete. Sixty percent of the monit?s raised will provide support services for people in Colorado with MS, and 40 percent will fund · national MS research. The tour is for families as well as hardcore cyclists, and 'is an excellent way to enjoy autumn in Colorado. People planning their annual trip to see the fall colors might consider viewing them from a bike instead of through a car window. Peters said there will be frequent rest stops along the three tour courses with transportation for those not able or willing to finish their tour. Since this is the first year for BikeToberfest, Peters said they can't be sure how many people will ride or how much money they will collect. She said they hope for 1,000 cyclists raising $100,000. As of Sept. 20, their office had received almost 800 registration forms. Peters said she has spent a lot time on the extensive planning involved to make the tour as safe as possible. A helmet is mandatory with MS having a limited supply for any cyclist showing up on tour day without one. Peters said MS believes events such as this one that raise money must emphasize safety above all else. The Colorado chapter works hard to coordinate Jaw enforcement officials and medical assistance for their bike tours, she said. They also provide road marshals. and warning signs at busy intersections to avoid conflicts and collisions between bikes and cars. She said MS modeled this tour after their successful MS-150 "Go the the Gorge," which has had an excellent safety record since it began four years ago. Held in July, this tour starts in Denver and runs 150 miles, ending near the Royal Gorge. The MS-150 is one of Colorado's largest bike tours. It's also one of MS' s largest fund raisers in the nation, raising more than $2 million the last two summers. Auraria students not knowing anything about MS should be aware of several statistics. MS most often strikes people during their 20s and 30s, making it the largest neurological disease in young people. And

Colorado has one of the highest rates in the nation, with one out of every 1,000 people afflicted. Although MS is not a life-threatening disease, Peters said it has a tremendous impact on the quality of life. The symptoms include blurred vision, slurred speech, weak or cramping muscles and poor coordination. Some people have only a few mild symptoms, but MS can become so severe that it causes total paralysis. Lavonne Kraft, services coordinator for the MS Colorado chapter, said the reasons for Colorado's high rate aren' t known except that MS is found more often in colder climates. She said a map showing the incident rate throughout the nation shows the 37th parallel as a breaking point. The area to the north of the 3 7th has a much higher rate than the area to the south. Colorado's southern border is the 37th parallel. Kraft said we still don 't know why people get this disease of the central nervous sys tem. Heredity one known factor, but she said the genetic predisposition for MS is only about two to five percent. . However, there have been breakthrough discoveries this year that may help in the treatment of MS. These findings made frontpage news in the "New York Times" in May. Researchers have now identified several molecules in the immune system that ' cause the nerve damage. Kraft said researchers now think that the immune system plays the opposite role in MS as it does in AIDS. People with AIDS have under-active immune systems whereas people with MS seem to have overactive immune systems. She said this is still just a theory with more research needed to tests its validity. More research requires more funding, anq the Colorado chapter works hard raising money. The chapter has something for everyone in their fund raisers held throughout the year. The "MS Ski Extrayaganza" in February at Copper Mountain invites people to ski for free while raising funds. The " Dinner of Champions" in March is a black-tie affair honoring the efforts of local corporate and community leaders. The dinner also recognizes Colorado's MS Achievement Award Winner. Then m·April, the state chapters coordinate the "Super Cities Walk for MS." Colorado·calls its walk "The Best Damn · Wall<in Denv.er,;' because the 15-mile route includes the Cherry Creek Reservoir area. "Moments for MS" is a local telethon broadcast the week between Christmas and New Year's. The telethon features people in Colorado who are working to overcome their disabilities caused by MS. And school children are currently participating in the "MS Read a Thon," collecting pledges from sponsors for each book or specific amount they read. Those who want to participate in the BikeToberfestcan pick upregistrationfonns at Safeway stores and at some bike and sporting goods stores. A $10 registration fee is required. Anyone wanting more information on the tour or on other MS events can call 691-CURE. D

Ball to highlight anniversary M.K. Wagner The Metropolitan

Clthy VanSchwartt/The Metropolitan

The musical 'Fantasticks,' produced by the CU-Denver Theatre Department opened Sept. 26. The production will run Sept. 26-29, Oct. 4-6 and 11-13 in Arts Bldg. Rm 278. Times vary, call 556-4652 for reservations or information.

If you want to rub elbows with some of Denver' s politically well-known, socialize with some of your fellow students and faculty members, dance and drink free Coors beer, then the place to be Saturday, Oct. 6, is The Plain & Fancy Ball at the Denver Convention Center. The Plain & Fancy Ball will be highlighting MSCD's 25th anniversary and features a tribute to Gov . Roy Romer and the late State R epresentative Palmer Burch . The two are credited with helping to create MSCD in 1965. T he ball was created with an underlying theme that you can attend wearing anything from tuxedos and gowns to shorts and tennis shoes. Many fund- raising events in Denver are black-tie-only. The only thing that is required路 at this event is a tie, which is provided as your entry to the ball (with purchase of ticket). Those attending are allowed to use their imagination on what they wish to wear with the tie, or how they will wear the tie. Last year an imaginative individual showed up dressed as Batman, tie and all. This year, guests are encouraged to use their creative talents again. The success of the ball can be attributed to the extensive efforts of 60 full-time vol. unteers, the entire Institutional Advancement Department and other's who are contributing their valuable time and donations of talents and items. A silent auction will be held at the ball. Donations for the auction are numerous and

are still coming in, said Anne Dickerson, information specialist for MSCD public relations. Jim Saccomano, director of media relations for the Denver Broncos, wrote to NFL teams asking for donations for this event. In response, Bernie Kosar and Joe Montana each donated an autographed team jersey, and the Giants, Jets, and Tampa Bay donated an autographed footba ll. "The Denver Post" has donated a centerpiece item with an estimated worth of$150. Copper Mountain, the recognized official Plain & Fancy ski area of the year, donated $5,000 worth of lift tickets, and Colorado Ski Country donated a 3-day ski pass good for any ski area in Colorado. Norman Rockwell lithographs, given by an anonymous donor, dinners and getaways are also going to be on the auction block. Robinson Diary donated the ice cream ai;ssert for 1,800 people, Coors donated beer centerpieces for the tables, and Dennis Boyer, president of Boyer's Coffee, is donating about 180 pounds of gourmet coffee. The firsttwo Plain & Fancy Balls cleared a net ball park figure of $130,000, said Len Meyer, executive director of development. According to Meyer, the Foundation Board of Directors decides how the money will be distributed and the plan this year is to use 90 percent for scholarships and 10 percent for departmental programs. The ball has become the college' s major annual fund raiser for scholarships. Tickets can be purchased for $40. The first 250 tickets sold to students will be balfprice, $20. These tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth on the second level of the Student Union. 0

This season, the University of Colorado Buffaloes are learning a very harsh reality: one great season doesn' t make a great team, it just makes them targets. The Buffs are now a marked team and it won't get any easier. Ever team they play will have those shiny-gold CU helmets right in their crosshairs. And they plan on going for the kill. Last season, CU had a magical season. They made opposing defenses disappear. Darien Hagan, with slight-of-hand and feet tricks, amazed the nation. And all along, the spirit of their fallen leader, Sal Aunese, hovered above them. It was indeed a magical and inspiring season. CU came out of virtual nowhere to reach the pinnacle of the No. l ranking in the nation. We all know that the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame shuffled into Miami Jan. 1 and ruined the Buffs' undefeated season and turned their dreams of a national championship into a rude awakening of a nightmare. Now this season, CU has no where to

Buffs make g.reat target hide. There won 't be any sneaking up on teams this year. Every finger, every shakingfist, every steely stare is pointed at the Buffs. When you reach the top, everyone wants to knock you down. The University of Illinois waited a year to avenge the blowout loss they suffered at the hands of the Buffs. And then Texas. They waited for a year as well. They wanted the Buffs bad, and they got 'em. They got 'em right where they wanted 'em: in Austin Texas. Texas talked, Texas taunted, Texas tormented, Texas tackled, Texas terrorized. But in the end, Texas took it on the chin: they lost. With this victory, the Colorado Buffaloes took a giant step toward becoming a great team. When a team is talented and unknown, it' s a lot easier to do battle against teams that maynotbeemotionallyreadytoplay. Teams may be looking past you at their next opponent. But this season no one is looking past the Buffs. Everybody is ready. No more easy games for the Buffs. Ev-

erybody wants a piece of CU. So they have to be ready every week. Against Illinois, CU folded under the pressure. Illinois was the inspired team this year. After this game, there was grumbling that CU might not be that good. The Buffs could have packed it in against the Longhorns of Texas. But instead, they took the bull by the horns, and long horns they were, and they didn 't let loose until they left the Lone Star state with a 29-22 victory. CU won, under adverse and hostile conditions, against ateam bent on revenge, cu won. The Buffs didn't play very well but they found a way to win: a mark of a great team. CU still has a long time to go before they can be considered a truly great team. Maybe even years. After playing with that target on their jerseys for years upon years, and if they can continue to win under the most adverse of conditions, then they can be classified as a great team. Notre Dame has carried the target around for'years and with a lot of talent, a little luck,

and maybe even some divine help they win and win and win some more. The University of Miami is another targeted team. Week in, week out, every opponent wants to pull off the upset; however the Hurricanes usually weather the storm and win the game. Even Nebraska and their seemingly highschool-level schedule, must perform at a peak level every week. So it might take CU years of taking on all comers and winning the big games before they reach the great team status. But last Saturday they took the first step. This week, the Buffs will take on another team that will be looking to avenge a blowout loss to CU last year, the Washington Huskies. And they will be ready with a capital R. So the Buffs will just have to straighten that target, bow their necks and say "come on, show us what you got, because we' re ready too." Great teams have to be ready, because if they don't have a target, then they' re not a great team yet. 0

Auraria hoping to host events for U.S. Olympic Festival

Women's hoop assistant hired A new head coach at the first of September and a new assistant coach now, the MSCp women's basketball coaching staff is fioished. The new assistant is Benita Martin, 22, a 1986 Denver East graduate. Martin went on to play for the University of Colorado where she averaged 10.2 points and 2.9 rebounds a game for the Buffs during her senior year.

Spikers split pair The MSCD women's volleyball split a pair of games this weekend.

The nation's best athletes may be coming to Denver .and the Auraria Campus in the near future; at least they have been invited, whether or not they come is still to be decided. The Denver Games Committee is actively promoting Denver as a possible future site of the U.S Olympic Festival. This event will be held during offOlympic game years. Minneapolis was the site of this year's event. Denver is bidding for the festival for the years 1993, '94 and '95, so if they aren't awarded the event for one year they will still be in the running for another one of the years, according to Fred Fisher, executive director of the Denver Games Committee. If Denver is selected, athletes from all over the nation would come to the Mile High City to compete in the games. The Auraria Campus would possibly be one of the locations for certain events. A contingent from the Denver Games Committee and Sheila Walker, who'son the staff of the U.S. Olympic Committee visited the Auraria Campus Sept. 17 and toured the PER building. "On the grand scale of things we came out pretty well," Dick Feuerborn, director of Auraria Campus Recreation said. Feuerborn acted as host and tour guide to

the visitors. The visit lasted about 20 minutes and Feuerborn said he tried to describe to them what the facility would look like in l 0 months, after all the improvements are finished. "The visit was very brief and very structured," Feuerborn said. "(The Denver Games Committee) told me not to say too much and don't oversell the facility." Fisher said that several facilities along the front range are all part of Denver's attempt to bring the games to the area. Denver is in competition with路 10 other cities, Fisher said, and that number will be cut to five or six by Oct. 21. The final decision on the host city for the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival will be determined Feb. 2, 1991. Feuerborn believes the Auraria Campus has some very attractive capabilities. "The attractions that (the Auraria Campus has) is the downtown location and the flexibility of our facility," Feuerborn said. The group had toured numerous facilities in the Denver and Colorado Springs area and many of the other facilities are dedicated to just one sport, Feuerborn said. The Auraria Campus facility offers the flexibiLity of accommodating a number of events. "Team handball can be a possibility table tennis, fencing - a variety of things," Feuerborn said. As well as exploring the possibility of

Dick Feuerborn those events, Feuerborn said the group looked at the swimming pool; although it isn't big enough to hold events - because it isn't a SO-meter pool - it could serve as a practice pool for the water polo teams. The proximity of the Auraria Campus could also attract the downtown market to the games. Feuerborn said he has no idea where Denver is in the running right now. "The group was very tight-lipped about how other cities rated," Feuerborn said. On the possibility of Denver being awarded the festival, Feuerborn said, "It certainly isn't the Olympics ...but it would be great." Until the site for the U.S. Olympic Festival is chosen, the only game for Denver and Auraria is the waiting game. 0

BURGER, FRIES.& SOFT DRINK GOOD MON.-THURS. OPEN TO CLOSE FRI. 11 :00-5:00

You've heard the story countless times before: "Mom threw out my ___ (fill in the blank with 'Barbie,' 'Flash Gordon secret-decoderring,' etc ... )" and today it could be worth the down payment on a house in Vail. Dianne Storm, 50, knows the feeling. She collected baseball cards when she was a kid, only to have them thrown out by-you guessed it - her mother. But today, Storm has more cards than you can shake a bat at. She and her husband, Ray, own Stormy' s Sports Cards and Comics in Wheat Ridge. Another collector-turned-businessman is Dick Frakes, who owns The Locker Room ih Broomfield. "I had so many cards at home, my wife jokingly told me she was going to put me in business," Frakes said. ' Some joke - Frakes started his bu.siness on a part-time basis four years ago and now sells sports cards and memorabilia full time. One of his customers, 13-year-old Dave Kloepfer, said he has been saving baseball cards since he was six. Another customer, Roger Sack, has only been collecting for two years, but he filled half a U-Haul trailer with cards when he moved here from Milwaukee two months ago. Dave Kloepfer and another youngster, Billy Michel, are typical of the younger generation of sports-card collectors, said Mike Schalk, retail manager of Sports Card Connection, Inc. in Arvada. Their favorite baseball players are Jose Canseco of the Oakland A's, Will Clark from the San Francisco Giants, and Bo Jackson from the Kansas

City Royals - "any player who gets lots of hits and home runs," said Schalk. It was a shoe box full of his daughter's baseball cards that got Sack, 43, excited about collecting. He 'd been thinking of investing in coins, but then he realized some of his daughter's cards were worth $10 to $15 apiece. In the last two years, Sack estimated that he spent $5,000 on his "investment" of football and baseball cards. Another serious investor is 13-monthold Steven Bell. His father, Brad Bell, 33, bought Steven 11 sets of 1989 Hoops basketball cards and six sets of Fleer and Score baseball cards. A few adults, however, are as starry-eyed about the players as the kids. According to Schalk, many adults buy the cards ofplayers who were popular when they were kids. Storm said it's nostalgia - some people collect antiques and some people collect old baseball cards. Whatever the reasons, cards are becoming a big business. "YOU can buy them anywhere," Bell said, "shows, dealers, WalMart." Storm recalled a recent card show in Arlington, Texas, where there were so many booths that it took her three days to make the rounds. But Storm looked apprehensive as she held Steven Bell on her lap. She sees a down side to all the interest in collecting: speculators will eventually drive the prices of cards up so high that youngsters won't be able to afford them. Iri the meantime, any kid, young or old, can still buy a card for a nickel. For now, it's a small price to pay for a smile. 0
