Sexual harassment is a pressing issue for colleges and universities in the 1990s and Metropolitan State College of Denver is playing a game of catch-up with regard to its policy. Both the University of Denver and the UniversityofColoradoatDenverhavemore extensive policies and better developed mechanisms for dealing with sexual harassment than MSCD. CU-D issues an annual policy- 1990's was 11 pages - that details a grievance procedure that includes review before the Committee on Se~al Harassment and a campus sexual harassment officer. DU has an eight-page policy that is part of its Employee Handbook of Personnel Policies and Procedures. While DU does not have a sexual harassment officer, it does haveaSexualHarassmentPreventionBoard. MSCD has neither a sexual harassment officer, nor a sexual harassment committee or board. It does have an Affirmative Action Review Committee, but this is not specifically geared toward sexual harassment. "The (MSCD) President (Thomas Brewer) has set up what we call an Affumative Action Policy Review Task Force.and that was done about a year ago to review all of our policies and procedures as it relates to

affirmative action, including sexual harassment," said Percy A. Morehouse, Jr., director of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president. MSCD's sexual harassment policy consists of two pages in the Affirmative ~ct ion Plan. The grievance procedure for pursuing a sexual harassment complaint is part of the overall procedure for dealing with a discrimination case on the basis of sex, race, national origin, age, handicap, or veteran status. There is also a disparity in the amount of time the three schools allow for the filing of a formal complaint alleging sexual harassment. All three institutions urge an informal resolution. MSCD allows 30 days to file after an incident, unless .that incident is "of an ongoing nature." However, CU-D allows for a 180-day period, but specifies that the time frame in not absolute. DU permits a 60-day period. MSCD's policy is currently being challenged by the Student Advocacy Organization. In a Sept. 17 Jetter to Morehouse, SAO President Joel Kleg and Co-President Anthony ·vanderHorst stated that the policy should be changed to 30 days from the date ·~ of discrimination or 14 days after the end of the term, whichever comes later. According to the letter, "This would give see HARASSMENT page 4

Student gov't, president lock horns over amendment 1 Kristi James The Metropolitan

After an emotional plea from Metropolitan State College of Denver President Thomas Brewer, the student senate passed a resolution opposing Amendment 1despite opposition from Dan Holden, student body president. Holden urged the senate to support Amendment 1, known as the "taxpayer's bill of rights." In a memo to the senate, Holden stated "We need to put the politicians back under the control of the constituents they represent. Let us send them a message that we will no longer allow them to increase our tuition while they decrease our financial aid." The senate voted 4-2 to oppose the

amendment at the Oct. 17 meeting. Brewer thinks that Amendment I is not in the interest of MSCD students, saying, "We anticipate Amendment I will cause a budget cut, which could run as high as 10 percent." If MSCD has to take a I 0 percent cut, a cap will be placed on enrollment which woulddecr~eenroJlment by 2,000to 3,000 students, Brewer said. The proposed tax limitation amendment to the state constitution would require voter approval for higher tax rates and fee increases above inflation or more than one dollar. Student governments across Colorado are speaking out on this issue. The CU-D senate, CCD senate, ·and Colorado State University senate all have voted to oppose this bill. The Auraria Board of Directors and the Colorado Student Association, which is a cooperative effort of nine colleges in the

state, are also opposed to the amendment. _ The CSA sponsored an Oct. 17 antiAmendment 1 rally that started on the Auraria Campus and continued to the state capitol. The student governments from nine Colorado colleges, universities and junior colleges participated. The rally attracted about 40 students on a cold morning. "IfAmendment l would have been passed four years ago, there would be 20 percent less funding for higher education," Kurt Colburn, president.of the CSA, said at the rally. "To expect every citizen to become educated about every issue is simply unfair," Colburn added. "It could be very devastating to higher education," CSU Student Senator Scott Schneider said. Associate CSU Student Senator Karrie

Sullivan agreed. "I think Metro should be especially concerned about (Amendment 1) since a lot of their students are in fmancial need," she said. The supporters of the proposed amendment say it would place a spending limit on state government and would provide a cap on property taxes. Opponents argue that the bill has many unclear provisions that would end up in litigation. The bill would diminish the role ofrepresentative government in favor of the "California model" with its emphasis on a government of initiative and referendum. Proponents cite statistics that point to a 123 percent increase in property taxes from 1980 to 1989 and a state debt that has increased 180percentfrom 1980to 1987 as reasons to support the amendment. Opponents maintain that there will be $15. l million less available for higher education if the ameodJDent passes. Q

the people, they se!"e the government," he said to more cheers from the audience. Fey said' censorship should be the farnily's'responsibility, but also insisted the ultimate regulator of music is money. He briefly addressed the controversy surrounding people who commit suicide after allegedly listening to certain kinds of music and whether it was the music that caused them to commit suicide. "There's been a lot more people dying in these phony crusades in the name of God than ever in the name of music," he said. Panelist Justin Mitchell, a music critic for the "Rocky Mountain News," agreed with Fey. He said parents should be responsible ·for regulating music and should sit down and listen to tbe album with their children and try to understand ·why their children listen to the music. Mitchell said the guitarist of the band "Living Colour" summed up censorship of music by saying, "The real issue is control and redirection of the American creative impulse. It's about controlling the way we create."

Mitchell also said the recent controversy concerning "2 Live Crew,"a band whose latest album \llaS banned from Florida record stores, was one of racism. He compared it to the controversial comedian, Andrew Dice Clay, saying that because Clay is white he isn't being censored. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center was represented by Ruth Fuller, M.D. who also said parents should have the responsibility of censoring their children's music but that "the greatest form of censorship is dollars." If people don't buy a particular album, that will send a message. She also said that in a multicultural society, music that is offensive to one group may be art to another and censorship depended on ethics and aesthetics. The fourth panelist was Chris Bonner from the Cherry Creek Task Force, a group involved with the censorship of music. Bonner was outnumbered by the other panelists and the majority of the audience when he said he favored the censorship of music.

According to Bonner, some music undermines appropriate values in society. After the panelists had discussed the issue of music censorship, the audience was allowed to ask questions of the panelists. An Iranian student, who refused to be identified, said that musicians such as Bruce Cockburn were banned in Iran because Cockburn sang about the destruction of the rain forests. People were tortured and killed for listening to Cockburn and watching movies such as "Midnight Express," according to the student. "You can't buy any music except Persian music and what the government approves," he said, alth0ugh pop music albums are available from the underground market. "I don't think anything should be censored or labeled," said Margot Crookston, another student. She said children are capable of making their own decisions about music. "[Censorship] offends me," said Moses Ramos, a member of the audience.

"Since there's no fee, people are more likely to come to me with their problems before they get a letter telling them to appear in court," Jordan said. She said this may help keep some people out of court by taking care of the problem before it gets out of hand. Jordan said the office can handle legal problems of almost any type, ranging from traffic tickets to di-

vorce. She can't go to court with students, she said, but she is working on a referral list of attorneys who are willing to help students at reduced fees. She can also provide do-it-yourselflegal forms andselfhelp materials. Jordan completed her undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and went to law school at CU-Boulder. After graduating, she worked for five years as a public defender in Denver and then had a private practice for three years before tak-

ing this job at Auraria. Jordan said she has found the college environment very refreshing and hopes her work on the campus will allow her to educate people and give them a better understanding of the legal system.

Reach out and break something On Oct. 14 a disgruntled dialer slammed a receiver against a pay phone outside of the North Classroom Building and broke it into two pieces. Maybe the disgruntled dialer had already dialed a number and just wasn't satisfied with "Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try your call again." Damage was estimated at

scene of the "art." Apparently the unknown artist wore gloves when handling the can because no fingerprints could be detected. No permanent damage was done. Estimated clean-up costs were $30.

students the ability to pursue their claims without fear of retribution from an instructor." MSCD's Affirmative Action Plan does prohibit retaliation and points out that such action would be grounds for an independent grievance. Another area in which MSCD's sexual harassment policy falls short is the the treatment of consensual relationships. "Clearly the college does not have a consensual relationship policy," Morehouse said. He added that he is currently working on a consensual relationships policy and has been doing so since Nov. 14, 1988. "There are not many policies in the country dealing with consensual relationships in higher education," Morehouse said. While DU does not have specific language in its sexual harassment policy dealing with _fraternization, CU-D has a 3-page section dealing with consensual relationships. "CU-Denver will view it as unethical if a faculty member engages in an amorous relationship with a student enrolled in his or her classes," the policy states. The policy goes on to state that, should such a situation arise, the faculty member "shall make appropriate arrangements for the student to transfer to another section of the course." If that is not possible, the policy states that "the faculty member shall disengage from the amorous relationship until the. course or supervision has ended." "I think that we need to have a policy that prohibits faculty/staff/ student relationships when there is a direct conflict of interest," Morehouse said.

"And I personally feel that faculty need to be aware of the problems that they face in a consensual relationship with students even if it is not a conflict of interest because it is a fine line between having a mutual relationship and when it goes bad and turns into a sexual harassment situation, even an assault situation," he said. The recently released MSCD Student Handbook, the most widely disseminated source of information for students that addresses sexual harassment, contains four paragraphs on the subject. MSCD conducted a 1987 sexual harassment of faculty and staff which prompted a series of sexual harassment workshops directed by outside consultants. Those workshops have incorporated all MSCD administrators, executives and classified staff and are just now being conducted for faculty members. "We are trying to figure out how to work in students," Morehouse said. One topic addressed in a recent faculty workshop is the definition of sexual harassment, because it can include a range of activities from assault to off-color jokes. The definition offered by the Affirmative Action Plan is as follows: "'Sexual harassment, intimidation, or exploitation' means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature if: (a) submission to such conduct is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual's employment or education; or (b) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as

Hea~h

stresses need for increased education funding

Cheryl Suazo The Metropolitan

•-

Former community college administrator Josie Heath, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, said that if elected she would strongly support the needs of college students and faculties , including increased funding for financial aid and faculties' pay. Increased higher education funding should be a national priority, Heath said in a recent phone interview, because education quality is directly related to the amount of money available for students, faculties and college facilities. Heath advocates cutting the defense budget annually by 5 percent for 10 years and funnelling the resulting $150 billion into funds for education and deficit reduction. Most of that money would come from funds currently used to defend Europe. Student loans, grants and work study programs could be expanded with the additional money, Heath said. "I would not have been able to go to college without financial aid," she added. "I had work study programs while I was there, and they really gave me a start. I'm very committed to continuing that for students." She said that her opponent, Repub-

lican Hank Brown, voted for cuts in Pell · grants. Heath's proposal for increased funding also is aimed at benefiting faculties. "Clearly what faculties need the most is adequate pay," she said. "I prefer there be federal involvement with higher education funding so that faculty salaries, library size, research and student aid are not solely dependent on state assistance because states aren't able to bear that burden fully." Heath said that her proposed national health care program, which would allow people to choose their own insurance providers, would al.so benefit students. "It would help students with the real burden of health care costs," she said. "And I'm pro-choice on abortion rights so that would include having birth control information available on college campuses." Heath was an administrator atRed Rocks Community College of Denver from 1975 to 1979 before serving eight years as a Boulder County commissioner. While at Red Rocks campus, Heath pushed for on-site child care for both parttime and full-time students, founded the women's center and started the Career Ex.ploration for Women in Non-traditional Jobs program.

She also helped initiate women's centers at Auraria Campus and Front Range Community College. A year ago, she started the Return to Learn program in the St. Vrain and Boulder Valley school districts geared toward encouraging high school dropouts to return to school. But retention efforts should start long before teen-agers drop out of school, she said. Her proposed $35 million Educare program would assist students from the very beginning of their academic endeavors. · Educare, similar to the Head Start preschool program for low-income children, would combine child care and education for all 4-year-olds in the United States. Heath, 53, was born in California, grew up in rural Oregon and earned a master's degree in education at the University of Wisconsin. She taught high school classes in several states and West Germany. As a working mother, she raised three children, and has been an active supporter of equal and civil rights issues. Heath is a memberofthe Sierra Club, and one of her environmental proposals would convert Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant into an international center for training and research in hazardous waste cleanup tech0 nology.

Provision D is particularly significant because of a June 19, 1986 Supreme Court ruling in the case of Meritor Savings Bank vs. Vinson. Justice William Rehnquist, in his first opinion as chief justice, held that "claim of

hostile environment sexual harassment is form of sex discrimination actionable under Title VII employment discrimination statute (Civil Rights Act of 1964)." Prior to that ruling, sexual harassment was based, in part, on economic loss. Anyone involved in a situation described by the Affirmative Action Plan's definition is urged by the Affirmative Action Office to contact them, or the Office of Student Affairs, or Women's Services. Tara Tull, coordinator of Women's Services for MSCD, said that her office is able to help people with the grievance process and to attend any meetings with that person that they feel uncomfortable attending.

"We're here to help them ... we know what the system is and where they need to go and what needs to happen," Tull said.

The five-member committee consists of two students appointed by the student senate, two individuals from the respondent's group, and one administrator, classified staff member, or faculty member. The committee then makes a recommendation to the president, whose decision is final. There is no appeal from the president's

decision. At CU-D, the Committee on Sexual Harassment appoints a sub-committee to investigate individual incidents. The subcommittee's findings are final and the chancellor acts only if the sub-committee's recoinmendations are not followed. At MSCD, all grievance hearings are closed, though they are electronically recorded. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Meritor Savings Bankvs. Vinson, in which Mechelle Vinson sued the bank on the grounds of sexual harassment, threw out a District Court's ruling that Vinson had not pursued the bank's sexual harassment grievance policy. "Mere existence of grievance procedure in bank and bank's policy against discrimination, coupled with employee's failure to invoke that procedure, did not necessarily insulate bank form µability," the ruling read.Staff writer Carolyn Bauer contributed to this report. 0

Romer fought hard for 'open-door institution' Gary Williams The Metropolitan

While the Auraria Campus was still a residential neighborhood, a -few Colorado politicians envisioned another use for the area. Foremost among them was state Sen. Roy Romer, who sponsored a bill to establish a four-year college in the metro area. Despite strong opposition from the University of Colorado, the bill passed, creating Metropolitan State College. Twenty-five years after Metro opened its doors, Democrat Roy Romer is seeking his • second term as the governor of Colorado. "I wanted an open-door institution. I wanted to have access for all students, and for late-bloomers and for those who returned late in life to study," Romer said. "I fought very hard for it," he said. "I thought it would be large, pluralistic and very good. I think it is all those things." Romer conceded that there are still many areas in which Metro can improve. Those areas include minority recruitment and retention. ''The cost of education is still a substantial deterrent to minority kids," he said. "We need to have more aid based on need." Last year, Romer proposed an $8 million increase in financial aid. Half that amount was approved.

More aggressiveness in the recruiting process of minorities is also needed, Romer said, as well as better support for the students in grades K-12. The voucher system, which allows for schools of choice, will not be the way Romer goes about improving the elementary and secondary education of Colorado's youth. While not opposed to a small amount of choice, such as choice within a district, Romer is against the voucher system which is proposed by John Andrews, his Republican opponent in the Nov. 6 gubernatorial electi on. ''There are more ways we can experiment with choice, but I do not feel that we ought to go to the radical extreme that Andrews advocates in his voucher amendment," he said. "It undermines support for public schools." Without support for public schools, Romer said they would lose out in terms of votes on bond issues. He also said that it violated the separation of church and state by making public funds available for private religious education. Romer supports the newly established jun.ior college transfer policy that was implemented in the state. The agreement allows qualified junior college transfers to gain admittance to the larger state schools. "It better utilizes junior colleges and better greases the transition to four-year institutions," Romer said. The issue on November's ballot that

Gov. Roy Romer would affect college students most, Romer said, is Amendment 1. The amendment would put to a vote of the people any proposed tax increases. "Amendment 1 is a severe threat to jobs being available to (college graduates), and· the quality of their education," Romer said. "It will slow the economy down. It will certainly slow down funds for higher education, particularly for those of a disadvantaged stature," he added.

The way things stand now, Romer said that graduates can expect to enter a healthy work force. He encourages students to be well- rounded in the basic studies. "Be sure to get math, science and writing and history," he advised. He acknowledged that jobs ranging from engineers to nurses to hotel management were all vital to Colorado. He especially emphasized teaching as an important field to enter. 0

Quayle strongly supports term limitation Deanna Allen and Kristi James The Metropolitan

. ..

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Invoking memories of his grandfather, Vice President Dan Quayle urged journalists to examine the "grass roots" term limitation movement sweeping the country. Quayle's grandfather was Sigma Delta Chi/Society of Professional Journalists cofounder Eugene C. Pulliam. "With a term limitation amendment, you would get people that serve more, who go to Washington to accomplish a purpose and then come home," Quayle said in a speech to the society' s national convention Oct 12. "There is more turnover in the Supreme Soviet (national legislative body of the Soviet Union) than there is in the House of Representatives," he said. Quayle said official Washington has ignored the term limitation movement, comparing it to the tax revolt of the 1970s which began in California. "Last month, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to limit the number of terms state legislators may serve," he said. "And what is happening in Oklahoma is just the beginning. Next month, similar initiatives will be voted on in California and Colorado and they are expected to pass."

The Colorado term limitation movement is spearheaded by state Sen. Terry Considine. Amendment 5 would limit elected state officials to a maximum of eight consecutive years in office. This proposed change to the state constitution would allow members of the Colorado House of Representatives four consecutive terms in office, while the governor and state senators would serve a maximum of two four-year terms. "Colorado would be at a disadvantage," said Michael Murphy, campaign manager for Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo. Murphy said Schroeder believes that the amendment will decrease Colorado's influence with the rest of the Congress, since all positions in the House are based on seniority. "After reapportionment, the four largest states will control half of the 435 seats in Congress," Murphy said. "We would have no one back there with seniority." In a recent 9 Newst'Rocky Mountain News" opinion poll, 68 percent of those surveyed supported Amendment 5. Despite term limitation being supported by other Democratic Candidates around the country, Colorado Gov. Roy Romer is not supporting Amendment 5. "He is not supporting the amendment because the length of the terms is not long enough," said Jane Nelson, deputy press

secretary for Romer. Nl!lson added that, if the amendment limited terms to 12 years instead of eight, that the governor would have supported it. While President Bush has not personally addressed the issue of term limitation, Quayle has used his last two major public appearances to support the issue. Many political analysts believe that Quayle is using the term limitation issue to solidify his position for the 1996 presidential election. "Our founding fathers never intended being a member of Congress as a lifetime job," Quayle said. 'The Senate now only attracts two kinds of officeholders - those who want to be politicians for the rest of their lives and those who are millionaires." Quayle said that he agrees with some critics who believe thatterm limitation would cost voters some good lawmakers, but "you would get rid of many more poor ones than good ones," he said. "This new wave of cynicism has been building up for a long time," Quayle said. "It should not be discounted and dismissed. People rightfully feel that entrenched legislators are only interested in getting re-elected and I don' t think that the movement to limit terms will stop at the state level. "The voters are channeling their discontent into real and lasting reform." 0

OP/ED Spit, sod, sweat

What happened 路to baseball's good ol' days? Dave Plank Ah , baseball. For some reason it has become Vogue to wax reminiscent about our national pastime. We've seen more baseball movie hits in the past two years than in the three decades before that. Designated Geek George Will has published a book about the sport, called "Men At Work." Pete Rose's trouble with gambling last year caused a national scandal. Well, that's all real sweet. But after watching the first game of the World Series, what I want to know is, why do all those guys spit so much? You know what I mean. Every tiryie someone throws a strike, catches a pop fly, or gets a base hit, the audience at home sees a close-up of them hacking a hunk of whatever's in their mouth onto the simulated grass. They all do it. It used to be that the grass was all real. And only the players who chewed tobacco were seen spitting all over the place. Since most everybody in that era did, a Cubs-Dodgers game rapidly turned into a Red Man commercial, with Curt Gowdy doing the play-by-play. "It's a three-two count, folks, here's the windup, and - oh! The batter misses and dribbles all over the Umpire's sleeve! He's outta there!" One of the great tragedies of modern sport is that,

with the passing of a majority of baseball players who chewed, the body fluid factor has been eliminated from the game forever. But that's not all that's been lost. Even for a kid who grew up in baseball-starved Denver, the last few weeks of the regular season meant something. Most of the hype and enthusiasm was imported, sure, coming from people who had grown up watching their favorite team somewhere else. But there was still something about watching the final stretch of a pennant race, guessing about who would win out and hoping that a team you liked (only because of the color of their uniforms) won out. I think it was the World Series of 1979 when the Pittsburgh Pirates, led by reliever Kent Tekulve, barely outpaced the Orioles in game seven. The drama was almost unbearable, even for a 10-year-old who, uotil then, didn't know that there were people all over the country, probably including Pete Rose, winning and losing their grocery money on that outcome. One of my great life's wishes is that I would have gotten to see a baseball game in which the players wore flannel uniforms that bore the name Dimaggio or Mantle. One where they played on a field of real grass, during the day, before somebody realized that more people would watch, and there was more money to be made, at night. Perhaps mine is the first generation that never got

to huddle around radios listening to crackly, far-off voices talking about pre-Steinbrenner Yankees or Brooklyn Dodgers. Any of us who are lucky enough even to have heard about those days got the stories from grandparents, or maybe parents who tried in vain to explain their allegiance to teams and players they n_ever actually saw play. Perhaps mine is the first generation that grew up completely in an age where another sport, this one tailor-made to television, seized center stage in the athletic world from baseball. Professional football, instead of being a throwback to another age, maybe had to wait a while for television to catch up with it. Its disjointed action, perfect for replays and commercials, made it much more profitable for the networks, who were quick to fill gaps in action with beer commercials and station breaks - gaps that did not exist in baseball. Major League baseball may be soon coming to Denver. That's good, even if we had to promise a stadium that we didn't need to get it. But don't ever forget that, as a sport, baseball had its heyday a long time ago. In a world of pocket pagers and cellular phones and fax machines, the pastoral, al most peaceful action of baseball is cute, but passe. Now we demand broken bones and constant action and - don't forget - plenty of room for commercials. It's just that our priorities have changed, that's all.

EDITORIAL President clarifies MSCD's stand on sexual harassment A college community, while embracing academic freedom and the free flow of ideas, nevertheless holds certain values which are central to its being. At the heart of those are respect and appreciation of every individual and the multicultural and gender diversity of .. the campus. Our goal at MSCD is a color-blind and gender-free institution. We must have a learning and working environment where every individual feels comfortable. To achieve that goal, MSCD will not tolerate harassment or discrimination based on gender and/or ethnicity. Persons committing such violations are a disgrace to this community of learners and must be disciplined up to exclusion from the community. Longstanding college policy categorically condemns discrimination on the basis of race or sex. A specific sexual harassment policy is in place and the new ethnic harassment policy prepared by the Task Force on Racism will be in place shortly. Both policies will be rigorously enforced. Recently, in response to a call for nominations of Outstanding Women at Metropolitan State College of

Denver, the Institute for Women's Studies and Services received a clearly sexist and harassing response on official college letterhead. Also, I have learned about several alleged incidents of racial harassment and bigotry. I am troubled, as I know you are, by such callous sexism and racism. We have received reports of other incidents, both sexist and ethnic. During the 1989-90 academic year, the Director of Equal Opportunity, Dr. Percy Morehouse, coordinated a series of workshops on sexual harassment and the law. Exempt administrators, classified staff, and academic department chairs have attended at least one of these small, highly interactive workshops. Soon, all faculty will participate. In the 1990-91 academic year, Dr. Morehouse will coordinate a series of workshops on racial harassment for all college personnel. While racist and sexist attitudes and actions do not represent the views or practices of almost all of the MSCD community, those few who are insensitive and/ or intolerant reflect badly on the community. Each of us has a responsibility for the well-being of MSCD. Each of us has a responsibility for insuring the feeling of

comfort of all who make up the community. Each of us has an obligation to be intolerant of the intolerant. Metropolitan State College of Denver has a special place in the hearts of the people of metropolitan area. We are ~ urban college. We are the institution of 路access where people can not only dream their dreams, but are able to pursue those dreams. The campus environment must allow all - faculty, staff and students - to believe and feel that this community not only respects diversity but encourages and revels in that diversity. Metropolitan State College of Denver is a school of which we are all proud. Students receive a fine education from a talented and dedicated faculty supported by an excellent staff. We can and must continue to grow in quality and our sensitivity to the uniqueness and beauty of the individual. Together we can make MSCD a better place for all of us and the community we serve.

tive weight of maybe 4,500 pounds, would hit the ground with a whopping 9,555 foot-pounds of energy. This is enough to shake up 3,185 martinis, or about one for every future victim of the airline crashes those same frat members will no doubt be involved in." The members of Alpha Eta Rho stated that their careers in the aviation industry could be jeopardized by this comment. Mitch Barker, public relations officer for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the FAA does not take issue with humorous commentary in college newspapers when determining licensing of pilots. "We're not the thought police," he said. Barker was concerned over the reference to plane

crashes, however, and reiterated the comparative safety of flying over driving. He said there are 17,660 pilots licensed through the FAA. 1989 fatalities due to plane crashes totaled 1, 158, 763 of those fatalities were classified as general aviation. "General aviation includes things like Joe Sixpack's Cessna and privately owned planes," Barker said. Barker also said most commercial pilots are retired military. So, the chances of these frat members being responsible for 3,185 deaths are slim at best. The Met, and especially Dave Plank, apologize for the confusion.

RETRACTION The Alpha Eta Rho (commercial aviation) fraternity at Metropolitan State College of Denver has requested an apology for a comment made in the humorous opinion column by Dave Plank which appeared in the Oct. 12 issue of The Metropolitan. The column, under the headline, "Bar tending tips: How to make a morbid martini ala Auraria," detailed the results that may be obtained by throwing prominent Aurarians from the spire at St. Elizabeth's church, translated into the number of martinis that the terminal energy could mix. The offending paragraph said, "The entire Alph Eta Rho (commercial aviation) fraternity, with a cumula-

THE METROPOLITAN

LETTERS Bodies bounce, not 'splat' infallfrom St. Elizabeth's spire Dear Mr. Plank, After noting a slight technical error in the eighth paragraph of your October 12, 1990, article titled "How to make a morbid martini ala Auraria. " I noted that you provided a disclaimer in reference to the accuracy of your calculated results, however, I felt compelled to bring something to your attention. You stated that TE (terminal energy)= SI (speed of the noted Auraria figure) * W (weight of the person) * S2 (splat: the time used in the explosion of the body and the body coming to rest). This seems to be a reasonable formula and I agree with. the results measured in foot-pounds/ shaken martinis except for S2. I would venture that the term S2 should be changed from "splat" to "bounce". I have been a skydiver for quite some time and my colleagues in this spa~. who

have witnessed such unfortunate events, assure me that a body, even at terminal velocity, will not explode on impact, but bounce. Terminal velocity at this altitude is at least 175 feet per second or 119.32 miles per hour depending on your specific altitude and temperature of the air. From the spire of St. Elizabeth's, using your figure of 100 feet, thebodywouldonlyachieve 104fpsor70.91 mph after approximately 4 seconds of freefall resulting in impact on the concrete or not-so-soft exposed ground, depending on the trajectory. For a person to even hope to "explode," they would have to alter their body configuration so that they could achieve a high enough velocity. This isn't possible from St. Elizabeth's. Even if the body is flailing wildly or in a head-down position, the chance of an appendage or internal organ separating from the person is still highly unlikely. But, 70.91

mph is sufficient to end the misery of the mentioned persons, therefore ending the misery of the offended columnist. Nonetheless, the footpounds would remain the same and one would be able to serve many martinis by converting the energy. If this is a matter of extreme interest to you, Mr. Plank, I suggest that you find a "volunteer" and indulge in some alternative physics experiment from the spire of St. Elizabeth's and observe the results. But I'll bet you a dozen doughnuts that no explosion will occur and the body will simply bounce a few inches and then come completely to rest.

Night students needs neglected by day-oriented student government Editor, This letter is in regards to a column of Dave Plank "Student Government lacking leadership" which appeared in the October 5, 1990 edition. Dave hit the nail on the head in his article. Last week I was fired from my Senate position at Metro State. The following is my story. My name is Mark Sandifer. I have been a night student at Metro for the past two years. Last year I decided to run for student government Senator. I was running to be a representative for the night students. I

Since I am a night student, I must work during the day. It seemed everything on campus happened during the day. Meetings, guest speakers, parties etc... The student Senate meetings were at 3:30 every other week. I normally get off work at 3:30 and by the time I can get to school it is 4:00 4:10. Twice I hurried to get to one of the meetings and got there at 3:50 only to find that the meetings lasted for 20 minutes. I had asked if these meetings could meet at a little later time and the answer was no. It seemed it was conveniently for all the day students to have it at 3:30. How can the night student get proper representa-

tion than from a night student. But it seems a night student can't serve because he has to work and can't make all the meetings. So the night students have no representation. I was in the middle of forming a committee for night students of night student, and also taking suggestions for what night students would like to see more or less of when I was fired. Again it just goes to show you what the student government thinks of night students, and it is a shame.

ORRECTIONS In the Oct. 12 issue of The Metropolitan , the page 1 story titled "Workers implicate book center," incorrectly stated that in the process of buying back books, the Auraria Book Center had knowingly bought books that had been stolen. Gretchen Minney, director of the book center, said that an investigation into the origin of the books failed to produce evidence that there was a victim, thus no proof that the books were stolen. However, those selling the books back were found to be connected

with certain criminal acts nationwide. Minney said as the police began to close in on a man wanted in Colorado, he stopped showing up at the buy-back counter. She said that for security reasons, she did not provide details of the investigation to the general staff at the-book center. The story in The Met ommited these details. The Met apologizes for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

Mag salespeople draw wrath of students, APS Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

Young men and women have been working the Auraria Campus soliciting magazine subscriptions in a harassing way, according to Auraria Public Safety. APS Detective Robert Barela said, 'There have been four complaints this semester of (physical) contact or harassment to Auraria Public Safety (about the salespeople)." Sgt. Jim Ferguson of APS said that one of the salespeople was arrested Oct. 11. The man, who worked for T.K.O. Sales, was wanted on a failure to appear warrant in Lakewood for not having a tax license. He was detained by APS and then arrested by the Denver Police Department. The salespeople work for either S & K Enterprises or T.K.O. Sales, both located in Houston, Texas. Both companies have post office boxes as addresses and are not listed in the Houston phone book, Standard and Poor's Corporate Directory , or with the Better Business Bureau. Introducing themselves as students, the salespeople describe a system in which they sell subscriptions for points. They say that if they accumulate enough points they'll win money to pay for tuition or a choice of vacations. From a notebook, they'll produce a lacquered sheet that lists the magazines they sell. Students not interested in buying sub-

scriptions sometimes find that the salespeople become ill-tempered when rejected. Auraria Public Safety Sgt. Jim Ferguson said that it's a growing problem and warns students not to buy subscriptions from these people.

Houston. She got a recording stating that the number had been disconnected and referred callers to another Houston number. "When I called that number another recording answered the call and sajd that if you are calling about not getting a magazine you've ordered, to photocopy your receipt, a copy of the cancelled check, and include a letter telling them you haven' t received the magazines," Thanos said. "But no one actually answered the phone, and there was no way to leave a message on the machine so it must happen a lot." Approximately a week after her phone call, Thanos received the magazine in the mail. "I got the magazine in October but the date on it says December," she said. "I was lead to believe that it was a monthly, but I might not get it except for on holidays." Thanos also said that there was an .extra surcharge tacked onto the bill for the subscription, but there was no explanation for the charge. Besides the on-campus solicitations, other students have been approached at their homes. MSCD art student Rhona Lloyd answered her apartment door one evening to two young women who had gotten into her security building to sell subscriptions. "They told me they were communications students at Sam Houston State and the University of Texas and were selling magazines. They asked me if I had a choice of where to go on a vacation which would I

'It's a real difficult situation. They seem to visit the campus for a couple of days, and then they disappear only to return again.' "It's a real difficult situation," Ferguson said. "They seem to visit the campus for a couple of days, and then they disappear only to return again. The men usually prey on women for their sales by flirting with them." MSCD accounting student Tina Thanos and another student were approached by a male salesperson. "I decided to buy a subscription for a cooking magazine and asked my friend if she would write a check for it," Thanos said. "She did, but I never received the magazine." Thanos placed the order in March, making the $26 check out to T.K.O. Sales. The check was cashed, but no magazines were ever received. "After I remembered that I had bought the magazines and I never got them, I dug up the receipt and called the number," Thanos said. The number Thanos dialed was in

choose and gave me a couple of choices," Lloyd said. "I was lead to believe that they were trying to win a vacation, but later in the conversation they told me they would win $1,000 to do with whatever they wanted," she said. After she told them she wasn't interested, Lloyd left her apartment and noticed a line drawn on the frame of her apartment door in black pen and found similar lines on other door frames on her floor as well as other floors. "After I figured out that they were probably using their pens to mark the doors of people they had talked to, I contacted my building manager," Lloyd said. "We found them and asked them about it, but they denied it even though they both were carrying black pens." The women said they were with S & K Enterprises and that there were two other saleswomen still in the building that must have made the pen marks. "They started to get defensive apd told us that someone was picking them up down the street, and they left the building," Lloyd said. APS encourages students not to purchase subscriptions from these salespeople and to ask for identification. If approached, contact APS at 556-3271. Give them a description of the salesperson and their location so that APS can escort them off of campus. 0

THE METROPOLITAN

October 19, 1990

Products are sold in men's and women's magazines and film by using small-pored young women who are made up, sprayed and scented, with all unwanted hair removed and who are above all, thin, according to a film shown Oct. 10 at the Student Union. "Still Killing Us Softly;• by Cambridge Documentary Films and narrated by Jean Kilbourne, began a two-hour discussion program, "Women as Image Makers versus Media Sexploitation" presented by the MSCD Women's Network. Panelists spoke following the film, then led a group discussion. "One million dollars is spent every hour in this country on cosmetics," Kilbourne said in her film. She also said that women are taught from a young age to try to 'look like the models that sell the products. "Generally, the models are perfect creatures under 25 years old. Then women disappear from advertising until they reach old age when they wander back [to make commercials] for laxatives," Kilbourne said. The sometimes h umorous look at women's role in advertising was punctuated by sobering statistics. Kilbourne said that forty percent of all women murdered in the United States are killed by their husbands or

lovers, and that the dehumanizing of women by the media is in part responsible because it makes women into objects. Kilbourne showed an advertisement depicting a beautiful woman bruised and battered with the tag line "Black and blue from the Rolling Stones and loving it." She showed an advertisement by clothing manufacturer Esprit symbolizing a man torturing a woman and another advertisement showing a beautiful blonde woman wearing a holster with the caption, "Put your gun into something soft." But violence in advertising isn' t limited to "man versus woman" in Kilboume's opinion. She showed a shoe store display window where a shoeless, apparently murdered woman was shoved into a garbage can with a sign that said, "I'd kill for a pair" (of the store' s shoes.). "One out of five college-aged women have some eating disorder," Kilbourne said. "And eighty percent of all fourth grade girls are on diets, and now there is a new product on the market called ANOREX." One of the most destructive advertisements to women, according to Kilbourne, is the Virginia Slims cigarette campaign "You've come a long way, baby," which substitutes womeQ's freedom from male dominance for a deadly addiction. Kilbourne said that the only group of smokers on the rise in the United States is young girls. But according to panelists Jan Delasara

professor of English at MSCD, Barbara Ryan, MSCD journalism chair and Sue MacStravic, editor of "Colorado Woman's News," the outlook isn't hopelessly bleak. Delasara showed selections from music videos of Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul which she said express women as strong and independent and "show women taking over the street and the pool hall which are traditionally male domains." Madonna was the first woman to sell a certified five million units, and her success has helped promote other women 's entrance into music, Delasara said. "Cyndi Lauper' s 'Girls Just W antto Have Fun' video showed women in friendly embraces, singing and swaying with the music," and doing girl sorts of things Delasara said. "Sinead O ' Connor is now following the ground breakers, and male listeners are accepting her full range of emotion," Delasara concluded. Sue MacStravic from "Colorado Woman News" said she started her career in advertising but left because "it made me uncomfortable, and I didn't know why." She said she started her own magazine, in part, because women' s magazines or "leg waxers" as she calls them have their editorial content being constantly manipulated by advertisers who want stories written involving their products. She said that she still gets pressure at her own magazine. "We had an events page for women's

groups," MacStravic said. "It was non-profit and we ran events for church groups, lesbian groups, business groups, etc. When a large advertiser found out we printed lesbian group events, they dropped us." Ryan, who was more optimistic than MacStravic, said that "advertisers try to tell us what we need, but we make the decision." Ryan said she found some hope in the failure of "Dakota" cigarettes that were marketed specifically toward women. She also ci~ed ads in "Elle" magazine that use models of blended ethnic background and a more androgynous, less blatantly sexual tone. But Ryan showed there is a continuing bias against women when she read syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman ' s article about how Sen. Strom Thurmond called the female press corp covering the Senate hearings of David Souter as "lovely ladies." "Today, for better or worse, we have TV shows such as 'Murphy Brown,' 'Roseanne' and 'Murder She Wrote,"' Ryan said. "We have newswomen Diane Sawyer, Leslie Stahl, Judy Woodruff and Pat Harper-a concession to the fact that there are women over 50." Ryan also said that strides have been made in how women are portrayed in the media, but she wondered that if women were considered equal by society, why was she left to ponder the current popularity of2 0 Live Crew and Andrew Dice Clay.

A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Denver has often been given the reputation of a cow-town and now, with the stench emanating from Mile High Stadium, they have the aroma to go with it. In the past two weeks the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers have eliminated the seemingly invincible facade of the Denver Broncos' home-field advantage. It may now be time for Bronco fans to wake up and smell the cyanide. Their beloved Broncos aren't invincible at home anymore and Denverjust may not be a very good team this year. With the success of recent seasons, Bronco fans have become spoiled; they expect Denver to win. Especially at home. With the recent performances of the Broncos, many fans will begin to fling themselves off the proverbial bandwagon. IfDenver continues their downward spiral it won't be a rarity in professional sports. Good teams often find themselves marred in slumps that ruin their entire season. One example is the Chicago Bears last season. Bears head coach Mike Dikta even

Mile High Stadium:

Sweet smell of victory smells sour made the infamous statement, "We may not win another game the rest of the year." He was almost right. This season there are several teams failing to live up to expectations: the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns, to name a few. The Broncos now find themselves in an extremely unenviable position. They have a record of2-4 with two of those loses coming at home. No, they aren't out of the playoff picture. With the addition of an extra playoff team this year, the Broncos still have achance, but that playoff picture is fading fast. Bronco fans and football gurus alike will begin pointing fingers at who or what is responsible for Denver's dismal performances so far this season. Some will be pointed at Dan Reeves, many at John Elway and a couple at Wade Phillips. So why or who is responsible? Maybe injuries. Denver is a good team, but they aren't good enough to overcome injuries and, with so much parity in the NFL,

at least 90 percent of the teams aren't. The San Francisco 49ers may be the only team immune to injuries. The Bears realized last season how injuries can decimate a team. And like the Bears, the Broncos may find out that not only does winning promote more winning but the same holds true for losing. This team is used to winning. Now we'll find out how they react to losing. Better teams than Denver have fallen apart in the face of adversity. The more Denver loses, the more they'll scratch their heads and the more finger pointing will occur. Maybe at each other. Injuries to their defensive line have hurt the Broncos. With the loss of Alphonso Carreker and Ron Holmes just now beginning to contribute, the line bas been ineffective. Carreaker is dearly missed. He offered stability against the run and an occasional pass rush. Holmes demonstrated last season that he's a big-time pass rusher. Without these two players, the effectiveness of Simon Fletcher and Karl Mecklenburg has been

limited. Mecklenburg isn't a Lawrence Taylorcaliber player that would allow him to dominate a game. He needs help. Other injuries have also hurt the Broncos. Tyrone Braxton, out for the season, Dennis Smith, Bobby Humphrey, Gerald Perry and others have missed games this year. In the past Denver has faced adversity and overcome to still win football games. Will they use the injuries as an excuse for losing? This year appears to be different. Elway isn't making the big plays, the defense looks like a bunch of Oliver North's old documents and the special teams have been kicked around. For the Broncos to make the playoffs it will take a minor miracle, for them to keep fans on their bandwagon they must win at home. What was once a sweet smell of victory at Mile High Stadium has turned into a disgusting stench. They better change the litter box ... and fast. 0

Powell watches physical education programs shape up Stan Hoskins The Metropolitan When Frank Powell began his tenure as physical education department chair with Metropolitan State College of Denver, the President of the United States was Richard Nixon, the Super Bowl champions were the Kansas City Chiefs - and MSCD had no athletic facilities. Powell served as department chair from 1970 to '79 and stayed in administration until 1984. "As the chairperson, I was responsible for physical education, the athletic program and campus recreation," Powell said. "At the time when I started, [Metro's physical education department] was total rental facilities. One year, we had a $90,000 rental budget." The athletic programs had limited budgeting during the '70s and Powell wasn't able to keep all the programs functioning. In 1978, the men's basketball program was dropped. "We didn't have the funds to make basketball competitive,''. h<? said. "It wasn't until 1982 that the students and the college were willing to support the program," Powell said. "We were able to hire a coach, and scholarship and travel

funds were available. Since then, we've done quite well." Powell's responsibilities began to shift as MSCD began to grow. Physical education and athletics were the responsibility of the dean and Powell was able to concentrate his efforts toward chairing Campus Recreation and teaching. Powell teaches anatomical kinesiology, psychology of coaching and advanced firstaid. His activity classes include swimming, handball and wrestling. Wrestling is Powell's forte; his calloused knees and elbows can be attributed to the sport. A number of his former students have gone on to coach high school wrestling. He also runs one of the premier wrestling camps in the United States: "Top of the Nation" wrestling camps. The camps are conducted each summer -in Estes Park and Snow Mountain Ranch in Winter Park, they have been in operation since 1967. According to Powell, nearly 9,000 athletes, representing every state in America, have come to the camp. More than 700 coaches, most of whom wer_e All-American wrestlers, have helped instruct ov'e r the 23 years. Powell himself was an All-American wrestler and team captain during his undergraduate studies at Iowa State University.

He participated in both wrestling and football. Powell was also named ISU's Athlete of the Year during this time. While a coach at Adams State College from 1960-1969, he was named National Coach of the Year. It was there that he attained his master's degree. In 19_7 0, Powell received his doctorate from the University of Utah and then took the position with MSCD. Powell says that he's always known MSCD would expand to its current enrollwent and he believes it could grow much larger. "The only thing that holds us back (from being Iargei) is that the state legislature doesn't seem to want to fund [MSCD] at the level we could grow to. We make every effort to accommodate the urban needs," Powell said. Powell is pleased, though, with the recent announcement of the Auraria Gymnasium expansion. The new facility, atacostof$4.4 million, will have the original 30,000 square feet remodeled and an additional 30,500 square feet of new space. In Powell's 20 years, the athletic, recreation, physical education and health education departments have moved from rented warehouses and office buildings to a new home which may house the U.S. Olympic
