Lawsuit prohibits teachers' use of text book copies 4

Instructors who use multiple copies of copyrighted materials in their classes may be in violation of the law.

In a decision March 28, the "Fair Use"clauseofthe 1976Copyright Act was redefined to limit the use of copyrighted materials for classroom use.

Kink.o's Graphic Corporation said it will comply immediately with the decision of Judge Constance Baker Motley in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in Basic Books vs. Kink.o's Graphic Corporation.

In April, 1989, eight textbook pubiishers filed a suit against Kink.o's to reinterpret the "Fair Use" clause which allows faculty members to make multiple copies

of copyrighted material for classroom use.

Many instructors use copied material in place of textbooks to provide better and more current information for their students.

Jan Delasara of Metropolitan State College of Denver's English department, uses copied materials in all of her classes. According to Delasara, she has booklets prepared at Kinko 's for her students use because she tailors each class to fit the needs of the students. She said she can't find satisfactory textbooks to use exclusively. Much of the material is her own but some is copyrighted and she will now.need permission from the publishers to use it.

"I have put together an anthology that has a broad cross-section of plays about women and minorities. I can't find one that does not have a sexist, racist bias. The

literary canon is oriented toward works by white males about white males," Delasara said about her Introduction to Drama class. She said the class has many voices that would not be heard in most anthologies and wants to broaden the students' curriculum.

Adrianna Foss, corporate communications director for Kink.o's, saidKinko's will still be providing course packets, but under new guidelines. Previously the materials were evaluated to determine if they fell under the protection of the "Fair Use" clause. Kinko' s and other copy centers will now have to follow a copyright permission process on all copyrighted materials for classroom use.

Foss said the decision will force instructors to be more prepared and get their materials in as early as possible. Permission depends on the timeliness of the publishers.

According to Foss some publishers respond quickly and others take days or weeks.

"Most instructors have been real supportive because they appreciate Kinko' s commitment to protecting the rights of copyright holders," Foss said, adding that many instructors are copyright holders themselves.

Maurice Holt, an instructor in the education department, said he will get permission from the publishers to use material for a class he will teach in June. "In a course like mine, it means staying up to date and that means using some kind of packet of up-to-date materials and not some textbook. It's bad for the student because, in the end, it's going to take some time."

Holt, who will be teaching a class on Curriculum Development and Implementation, said it's imsee KINKO'S page 5

Elections held this week will determine the student government members for Metropolitan State College of Denver and the fate of Colorado Public Interest Research Group on campus.

On the election ballot were student government president and vice president, student trustee, student government senators and MSCD representatives for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board as well as a referendum on the CoPIRG fee.

The student trustee is a student government representative to the State Board of Trustees to the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado.

The student trustee attends meetings of the board of trustees which includes representatives from Colorado's four state colleges.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board is a board made up of I two MSCD members and members from the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver who work together with the student governments of the three schools.

The CoPIRG referendum will decide whether students want to keep CoPIRG on Auraria Campus through the three dollar optional fee on ' student registration that CoPIRG collects. As of noon on Wednesday, more than 600 students voted.

Students could also vote Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A total of six voting machines were set up in the Auraria Library and the Student Union. The results of the election will be announced the afternoon of April 5.

The Metropolitan The Auraria Library held a reception Friday to formally announce a resource-sharing agreement with the Colorado Parks and Recreation Association.

CPRA President Allan Horton, of the Aurora Parks and Recreation Department, presented the first of five $2500 checks to Jean Hemphill, associate director of the library. This donation accompanies a previous donation of books and related materials from a CPRA collection.

The CPRA is a professional trade organization of more than 800 members which had a small resource center that was not meeting the group's needs. In November of 1989, Bob Easton, chair of the CPRA Resource Center con-

tacted Furman Griffis of the human performance, sport and leisure studies department at Metropolitan State College of Denver to see if there was a possibility of creating a cooperative agreement between their organization and the Auraria Library. His idea was to make the Auraria Library a depository for CPRA resource materials.

Additionally, the CPRA would donate $2500 a year for the next five years to be used by the library to buy additional materials related to parks, recreation and conservation. In turn, CPRA members would become special borrowers of the library, giving them access not only to the CPRA/HPSL collection, but all library materials.

"It would be a good way to build a bond between the professional community, the educational

community and the library," said Jay Schafer, coordinatorof collections at the library. He said the HPSL department had just undergone an accreditation visit which pointed out that the library resources for the HPSL department were weak. "We thought this would be a good way to build up the collection," Schafer added.

A preliminary meeting was held in February, 1990, between the CPRA, HPSL, and Auraria Library staff. A basic commitment to a cooperative agreement was made based on three points. First was the CPRA' s desire to build a resource center for its members that could also serve students of the HPSL. Second, the desire for MSCD faculty to build strong ties between the educational and professional community. Finally, the Auraria Library's desire to acquire addi-

tional resources to build a stronger collection for student and faculty use.

Formal acceptance of the agreement took place in February.

On March 1, the library received eight boxes of material from the CPRA offices. Included in the collection were trade publications, periodicals, directories, various surveys, as well as books, audio tapes and video cassette programs.

The material has been cataloged and can be accessed through the C.A.R.L. computer system under "CPRA." "One reason the library is ex cited about (the agreement) is because we hope that we can do this with other professional organizations . . . that we can build support for the library through working with other professional organizations," Schafer said.

AHEC Gymnasium director position negotiated J.C. Long The Metropolitan Auraria's new gymnasium doesn't have a director yet, but it may have one soon. . Dick Feuerborn, director of campus recreation, has been men-

tioned as a possible candidate.

He said that he currently has a supplemental contract with Auraria for that job, but there have been no formal contract talks.

"I've made some informal phone calls, but I haven't really talked with anyone about the posi-

tion," he said. "There are no offers on the table." lfFeuerborn were named to the position, it would mean going to work for Auraria Higher Education and leaving Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Feuerborn said that it was too

early to say anything about the process, because everything has been on an unofficial basis.

"Everything'sreally hectic right now because we're trying to get the gym ready forthe George Carlin concert," he said.

OFF THE WIRE Crime report access denied PITTSBURGH (NSNS) In an attempt to increase safety awareness on campus, student journalists at the University of Pittsburgh have begun a petition drive to convince their administration to release campus crime reports.

The reports were withheld from The Pitt , the school's student newspaper, on the grounds that release of such information might hamper investigations.

The students, citing freedom of information laws, are considering legal action.

Safe sex drives held on campuses (NSNS) Students from Saint Andrews Presbyterian College (NC), San Francisco State University and Emporia State University (KS) participated in safe sex drives involving the distribution of condoms to classmates during the week of February 14-21.

The events, which coincided with National Condom Week and Valentine's Day, were designed to inform and educate students about guarding themselves against Ac-

quired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and other sexuaJlytransmitted diseases.

Post-war reactions:

Desgregation in South Africa

Students respond to peace

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (NSNS) South Africa's six all-white colleges of agriculture have been given permission to desegregate by the all-white government in Johannesburg.

A statement released by South African Minister for White Education Piet Clase also implied that South Africa's other 18 white-only colleges may soon be granted permission to racially diversify.

By Caroline Schweiter (NSNS) In the wake of the Persian Gulf cease-fire and Iraq's capitulation to the United Nations peace terms, the mood on college campuses across the country has relaxed.

While some students continue to protest the war and debate the ethics of the military, many others are adopting a "wait-and-see" attitude to the war settlement. Still other students, both war protesters and supporters of President Bush's policy, are actively planning rallies to welcome home US troops, who are scheduled to begin arriving within the next few months.

• In New York City, students from colleges across the state are encouraged to donate their time, energy and dollars to Operation Welcome Home, a massive celebration planned for mid-May. The celebration will include a tickertape parade, a memorial, and a fund for veterans' scholarships and job training.

Smoking banned on Neb. campus OMAHA, NE (NSNS) A new no-smoking policy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha bans smoking in all university lounges and vehicles, with the exception of designated smoking areas.

The policy follows a survey of more than 1,000 faculty, staff and students last fall, in which more than one-third of those polled supported a smoke-free environment.

Training Corps (ROTC), 125 Indiana University students demonstrated for two hours on Feb. 21 outside the Bloomington campus's ROTC offices. The students wrote anti-war slogans on windows and on a training schedule before leaving peacefully in lieu of being arrested.

• Student volunteers at the State University ofNew York at Oneonta helped establish and staff a Gulf Crisis Information Center on campus where visitors can receive continuous television broadcasts . and written information on the gulf situation.

• Students at the University of California, San Diego, are continuing a 24-hour sit-in for peace in front of the main library on campus. Students involved in the sit-in, who have been protesting since the second week of the war, say they will continue until the United States leaves Iraq. · • In Amherst, Massachusetts students are attending nightly vigils on the site where 30-year-old Gregorv Levey burned himself to death in an apparent war protest.

Students from nearby colleges have constructed a small shrine with anti-war posters, flowers and evergreens near the spot where Levey had placed a sign reading " Peace" before his self-immolation.

Earth Day

Canyon clean-up planned Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan It's time for the Earth's spring cleaning.

Earth Day is here again and Metropolitan State College of Denver students are invited by organizers to join in this year's Clear Creek Canyon Clean-up Saturday April 13.

Last year's celebration, marking the 20th anniversary of the original Earth Day, sparked world-wide interest in environmental issues and drew scores ofparticipants, including Gov. Roy Romer, to the canyon clean-up site just west of Golden.

"We'vereally seen an increase in student interest in our project since last year's (Earth Day) celebration," Sheila Townsend, an organizerfortheClearCreek Canyon Cleanup, said.

"It's strange, people are awed by the beauty of this canyon and, at the same time, dismayed at the amount of trash that can accumulate here in just one year," she said.

"Some of the areas we cleaned up last year already have trash in them," Townsend said. "But, of course, it's not nearly as bad as if we'd done nothing at all. This canyon is definitely a better place for our efforts."

According to Townsend, the canyon is now being threatened by a proposed gravel

quarry. ''The quarry would be placed halfway up this canyon," she said. "There will be heavy trucks hauling gravel down the canyon every five minutes, not to mention the scars that the quarry itself will inflict on this area. And this operation would continue for 75 years if the proposal goes through."

Townsend said that a proposal must be approved by the Jefferson County Commissioners before the quarry can open. ''This developer, O.R. Goltra, isn't even from Colorado,"Townsend said. "Hedoesn 't even live here and he wants to ruin one ofour landmarks."

Townsend said that she expects support from last year's student volunteers as well as new volunteers who beard about lasfy~'s events.

"That's the thing, people real!y can make a difference here," Townsend said. "And this is something that is fun to do. Volunteers doing constructive work in a beautiful area.

It's not like cleaning up your room. It's something people really enjoy. I'll put it this way: How would you rather spend a Saturday, watching television inside or walking through this canyon?"

Registration for the cleanup will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. April 13 at the Golden Recreation Center, 1011 10th St. in Golden.

THE UNITED STATES AND LATIN AMERICA:

SHARING A HEMISPHERE

Do you need a career?

Students, faculty and alumni could have found many career possibilities at the Auraria Campus Health Care Career Day. The career day, designed to help graduates in health care management, offered opportunities for summer jobs, internships, careers and counselling for future careers.

The 57 exhibition booths presented infoRnation on management, administration, business, nursing, and technical and allied health care fields.

The Health Care Career Day, held April 3, was sponsored by the Metropolitan State College of Denver student chapter of the American College of Health Care Executives and Auraria Office of Career Services.

Co-directors of the exhibit were Lori Lewis, Larry Wall and Ron Lujan.

Lujan, a counselor with Career Services, said he used the career library to gather

information and resources to obtain a list of possible exhibitors.

Lewis, president of the student chapter of ACHE, said their goal was to help graduates in liealth care management get jobs and to inform the public about ACHE. Wall, a student member of ACHE, said the exhibit was patterned after the CarnpusWide Career Exploration Day which is held in the fall. He said there were few health care professionals at that exhibit so this was aimed at those specifically in health care management.

According to Wall, they expected 20-30 exhibitors and 57 showed up. He added that the student and alumni attendance was better that he had anticipated.

Debbie Love, a psychology major said, "It gives students a chance to see what's out there - to see what the opportunities are.

I'm checking to see who has internships which might lead to a permanent position."

She said most people were helpful with their information or were able to refer her to someone who could help.

Big bucks no longer big lure for '90s graduates Roberta Holland National Student News Service (NSNS) Confounding the stereotype of the 1980s that portrayed students as greedy and uncaring, a record number of college students this year are applying for jobs in the public sector.

Recruiting directors for non-profit organizations report that they no longer must hunt for a handful of interested graduates.

Rather, they are overwhelmed by inquiries from hopeful applicants.

According to a recent nationwide survey of 200,000 first year students administered by the American Council on Education, the number of students who feel that it is "essential" or "very important" to "influence social values" is at an all time high of 42.9 percent.

The survey also shows that interest in business declined to 18.4 percent, down from a peak of 24.6 percent in 1987.

Students who highly value being "very well off financially" as a lifetime goal declined in number after a steady 17 year rise beginning in the 1970s.

These statistics are borne out by the large number of students finding careers in environmental organizations, teaching and social welfare groups.

To help place these students flocking to public sector jobs, several networking agencies have been established.

Prompted by President Bush's call for Americans to become one of a "thousand points of light," many conservative students

are turning away from jobs in the business sector and are finding jobs in community service and the government.

"Conservative students have always felt a sense of service," said Tony Zagotta, national chairman of the College Republicans and a 1989 lliinois State graduate.

Conservative students are applying in larger numbers to government agencies such as the State Department, the House and Senate Placement Office and the CIA, which has received twice as many resumes as last year.

Other campus conservatives have been finding careers in teaching. Zagotta argues that more conservative students are choosing teaching as a career in response to the liberal ideology that they believe has dominated the field for decades.

"Conservative students today are largely concerned with the state of education and many want to reform it."

The trend has had an impact on teaching programs. Teach For America (TFA), a twoyear program that places graduates of all political stripes in rural and inner-city schools, expects to get 3,500 applicants this year-an increase of 1,000 from 1990.

Due to increased student enthusiasm, TFA has been able to double its number of placement sites.

"Conservative students want to have more to do with the world they live in and with education," said Susan Boyle, a 1990 Boston College graduate now teaching in Massachusetts. "They want to educate the children the way they think they should be educated."

PPER

An increasing number of students, regardless of their political ideology, also are choosing careers with community service organizations.

"There's been a shift in values," said Bart York, associate director of human resources for Habitat for Humanity International, an organization that builds houses for poor families.

York attributes the increase in student applications to both a tight job market in the business field and to the willingness of service organizations to hire and train¡applicants with less work experience. "Graduates are more interested in social good than in material goods."

Many students receive work experience and responsibility they could not obtain in a private sector job. Others note the satisfaction one gets from working on fighting many of society's problems.

"Some students get involved with community service jobs to give, but they also get back a great deal," said Kris Hermanns, a VISTA volunteer and recent graduate.

Hermanns, who works for VISTA' s Commonwealth Literacy Campaign, added that, "The rewards are great from seeing the success of your efforts. You see that you 're needed. There hasn't been a day when I woke up and didn't feel like going to work."

To satisfy the growing demand for alternative careers, several job placement agencies have been established to match interested students with the non-profit opportunities that fit their skills and interests.

ACCESS, the nation's first job referral network for nau.-profit .organizations, was

created in 1985 by students to help graduates find information on non-profit jobs.

The number of students contacting the Boston- based organization with inquiries concerning non-profit jobs has doubled this year.

"In spite of the economy ACCESS is meeting an increased demand and (graduating seniors) want to be more involved with public service," said Lynn Rosin, the office and financial manager for ACCESS. ACCESS publishes a comprehensive monthly listing of non-profit jobs which it provides to individuals and university career centers.

ACCESS also conducts job searches for interested individuals using their job database.

Services similar to ACCESS are the Alternative Careers Project (ACP), and the Green Corps. ACP stages alternative career fairs on college campuses and provides workshops for college career services.

The Green Corps will begin a nationwide placement program in 1992 for graduating seniors interested in working with the environment.

The Green Corps will hire seniors in their final semester and place them with field campaigns of groups like Greenpeace and PIRGs. "This will fill the gap in environmental groups tor experienced organizers," said Heather Collis, a Green Corps staff member.

Collis believes there is a growing demand for a national network of environmental organizations. "The Green Corps will also Q further environmental causes."

Hispan.ic 'Ludlow' provides new perspective Gail Spencer The Metropolitan Ominous drumming forewarns of the massacre as the miners set the scene during the prologue of Anthony Garcia's play, "Ludlow: El Grito de las Minas."

The two-act play in English and Spanish is a compelling story of a New Mexico ranch family and their survival amidst one of the bloodiest strikes in labor history.

The story wraps around the events of 1914 Ludlow, Colo., when 21 were killed, 11 of them children, during the labor strike against the oppressive Colorado Fuel & Iron Company turned to violence.

Garcia, whose father worked for CF&I, skillfully crafts his political statements with a personal story that weaves together present and past.

"Ludlow" begins in present-day Trinidad where Amelia Martinez has arrived from her busy Denver life and family to settle her grandmother's modest estate.

Ameliawantsnopartofituntiltheestate's counsel hands her a page ofher grandmother Sara's diary - a piece of a puzzle from which Amelia will begin to discover her roots.

Debra Gallegos Martinez gives a shining dual performance as the hard-headed, modernized Amelia, who lets her hair down as she steps back in time to play the courageous Sara whose story we see unfold.

It begins in 1905 when, having lost their ranch, Sara's family moves to Southern Colorado where her husband, Enrique, is killed in a mining accident. Rudy Bustos, an

MSCD student, gives a fine performance as Enrique who leaves the stage all too soon.

Garcia weaves his tale in and out of the present day as Amelia is enlightened about Sara's life in 1913 with her sons, the tenacious Pepe (Santo Alvarez), and the mildmannered Jesus (Paul Zamora), both of whom work the mines.

The robust, bearded Manuel Roybal gives a spirited performance as Uncle Elias, a man whose marriage to Alicia (Caroline Turner) we see develop in tandem with his commitment to the mine workers' cause.

Labor leader David Montenegro, played with compassion and humanism by Angel Mendez-Soto, meets Elias in the mine where they sing "Arriva Quemando el Sol," a Chilean traditional mining song, while they work together in the darkness, never seeing the light of day.

Their bond breaks their barriers of fear about union vs. non-union, or workers' rights vs. the fear of employer retribution. Elias brings Montenegro home, only to have him confront prejudice from Sara's sons, and later to have his love for Sara hindered as the plot takes some unexpected turns.

The final scenes allow for dramatic revelations, including Zamora's transformation of the seemingly weak character of Jesus into one of strength and understanding as Amelia's eyes are opened to the truth of Sara's world.

"Ludlow: El Grito de las Minas'' is a moving and worthwhile performance, and one of a series of plays by Anthony Garcia at El Centro Su Teatro, 4725 High St., a Hispanic collective theater now in its 20th year. The play is assistant directed by

New uplink will help MSCD weather any storm

Aura'ria students receive FREE legal advice on:

Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan An image of Earth' s Western Hemisphere appears on the computer screen. Long bands of wispy clouds race across the continents as Anthony Rockwood explains the uses of his latest contribution to the meteorology department- a new weather satellite up-link.

"This is the way we display sateUite pictures," Rockwood said of the images on the screen. "In order to teach weather properly, you really have to have access to satellite imagery, weather maps and current temperatures outside."

The up-link connects the meteorology lab at Metropolitan State CoUege of Denver with the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite stationed 20,000 miles out in space.

"I wrote a grant to the National Science Foundation to help pay for this," Rockwell said. "It (the link) is a little like cable TV. We pay $175 a month for the types of services that we get. The dish and receiving equipment was in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $20,000."

Meteorology students use data from the satellite to help make weather forecasts, which are posted outside the meteorology lab every day.

Rockwood works as a full-time professor of meteorology at MSCD and a part-time researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, where he studies the strong "Chinook" wind storms that occur along the front range of the Rocky Mountains.

Rockwood said he approves of efforts to limit air pollution in Denver but that the brown cloud is a permanent fixture over the city.

"The fact is that we live in a geographical area ... essentially surrounded by mountains," Rockwood said. "We have a lot of dry soil that gets stirred up by the wind. So

we have a naturally dusty, dirty-looking atmosphere anyway. And when you mix into that some of the chemical pollutants that we put in, you get this horrible looking mess. So we have our environmental setting going against us."

According to Rockwood, the brown cloud is an age-old phenomenon in Denver. "There was a brown cloud here in the 1800s before there was any industry here," he said. "Just by the wind blowing and the buffalo stirring up the soil. But we've added a lot of dangerous pollutants to it as well. If this city's efforts have done anything favorable, it's that they've heightened people's awareness of what they can do to fight the brown cloud.

We've got to do it ourselves, or put pressure on the legislature so we can have sensible laws."

Rockwood said that he does his part to reduce pollution. "I ride a bike to work," he said, "not because I'm out there crusading for clean air but because I like riding a bike to work. And I don't have a fireplace. I'm not an activist but I certainly encourage people to do as much as they can."

Rockwood said that he never thought about becoming a teacher while he was in college. His ambition was to become a fulltime forecaster. "But you realize pretty quickly that the life of a forecaster is not very glamorous," he said. "It's a very difficult lifestyle and some of the places where you have to work are not great.

"My goal is tQ build the meteorology school into one that is on a par with other undergraduate schools in the country - to make sure that we 're teaching at a level where our students can compete with students from other schools. As we get better and our reputation gets stronger, we're going to attract more students. It's just like a good football program.

Concentration camp art reminds survivors of pain Antoinette Vecchio

•

The Metropolitan From the sketches of terror and pain drawn by two French artists, come the memories of horror and suffering for two Polish victims of the Holocaust.

"Concentration Camp Art: The Buchenwald Portfolio," on display at the Mizel Museum in Denver, is one of the many events being held in conjunction with the Anne Frank exhibit now on display at the Denver Museum of Natural History.

"All the pictures bring back inflictions and pain," said Fanny Starr. Starr, 68, and her husband, Zesa, 66, were both victims in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. "I could talk for a day and a half about all that happened," Fanny said. "It is still very painful."

The Starrs, who didn't meet each other until after the war, said they will never forget what happened to them during the war.

Zesa said he remembers the German soldiers telling him why he was taken. ''They told me I was a Jew, not a prisoner of war," Zesa said. "My only sin was that I was a Jew." In 1944, Fanny, who was 24 at the time, said she and her family were taken by the Nazis from their ghetto in Lodz, Poland, and put on a cattle train to Auschwitz. ~anny said the memory of arriving at the concentration camp is one that still brings her pain.

"As soon as we stepped down from the

train," she said, "I never saw my family again."

Fanny witnessed many people being led off the trains at the camps. She especially noticed the people from the ghettos, who she described as "swo11en" and having "shallow eyes and skeleton bodies.

"When I see this on television, I see myself," Fanny said.

After Auschwitz, Fanny was sent to Ravensbruck and then to Mauthausen where she was put to work making parts for weapons.

Zesa was also put to work at labor camps where he spent two of his five and a half years as a prisoner of the Germans.

He recalled when he was in Auschwitz and worked under the orders of Dr. Joseph Mengele, who was in charge selecting which prisoners lived or died. Zesa said he would take the prisoners offthe cattle cars and send them where Mengele ordered him. ''There were 4,000 people on the train.

Thirty-five hundred of them were sent to the gas chambers. Five hundred were sent to the camp," Zesa said.

Zesa also worked in the kitchen at Dachau preparing food for SS officers. The SS, or "schutzstafel," was a protection unit that first began as a group of bodyguards for Adolf Hitler. He remembers what happened when a Greek Jew took a piece of carrot to eat as they went out for a break.

"The SS guard found it, brought him back into the kitchen and put both his hands on the hot stove," Zesa said. "He cried and cried."

Zesa said the SS showed no mercy. He

Lice little ups and downs

For meaningless, trivial and absurd things Dave Plank Alright. No more April fools' shenanigans for us.

The time has come to grow up, get serious, address the issues of the day thoughtfully, seriously, straightforwardly. No longer can we simply sit back, mocking the grotesque and marveling at the bizarre. It's high time that we told the world not just what repels and astounds us, but what we are for.

We're thinking.

Okay, here's one. We are for helping sick babies feel better. Earlier this year, during a second or two of fondness we felt toward the president, George bush rose at 5 a.m. to take care of his three-year-old granddaughter, Ellie LeBlond. "Pumped a half a Tylenol into her," he said later, making the tot sound like a finicky cocker spaniel, "and she's looking good." Actually, Bush has been doing a lot of things we are for lately. Just the other day, CNN revealed to the world that the vice-president often bathes Millie, the Bush's dog. We are definitely for giving Dan Quayle inconsequential make-work.

We are also for fishing. Last year, casting off of one ofthe Florida Keys, Mr. Bush landed a catfish- pumped a hook into her, and she's looking good- even though it was not the species he was looking for. No. Bush is a bonefish man. When he catches one, he said, he strokes it (yes: kindly, gently) before he throws it back.

Actually Bush was fishing when some British tourists happened by, and the President of the United States suddenly blurted out "Do you think Margaret Thatcher would like a little bit of this bonefishing action?" Naturally, we are for presidents making badly-timed, goofy double-entendres about Tory former prime ministers.

Just as the nation's attention was on Washington D.C. and the doings of the Administration, former Senator/president-in-waiting Gary Hart was in Denver doing some late night. .. fact finding at Tunetown in the Tivoli, pumped a half a drink into himself, and he's looking good. We are most certainly for the hearty but responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages. We are less enthusiastic, however about pineapple juicebased drinks, such as those Hart was consuming. As for Tunetown and the Tivoli, we are probably more against than for.

We are tor killing lice before they destroy our way of life. Take the recent lice infestation at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Dr. Thomas Parker, an emergency library entomologist, was called in to delouse the place, and he later delivered his assessment of the situation: the lice had attacked Barron's, The Wall Street Journal and Architectural Digest. Who knew that modern vermin were so calculating, so attuned to the nuances of social mood? We just thank God that Dr. Parker gotthere-pumped a half a shot of DDT into the place, and it's looking good- before the beasts reached the shelf where USA Today and the Erica Jong books are kept. Poison gas? Government-run exterminations? Speaking of Germany, it is vital to reiterate thatthe German chemical company lmhausen-Chemie did not-- repeat, did not- help Iraq stockpile chemical weapons during the 1980s. We are definitely tor the avoidance of new German war crimes.

Don't get us wrong: we are certainly for science and technology, especially when it is used in the fight to keep American products competitive with others from around the world. The Wm. Wrigley Company recently announced that it hired Advanced Polymer Systems

Inc. to put tiny, flavor filled synthetic sponges in sticks of Doublemint and Juicy Fruit. The company figures that the flavor will last longer, possibly up to 22 minutes. And they say the American Century is over.

First scientists solve the chewing-gum-flavor-extension problem, then they attack the drug problem.

Researchers have discovered that a dose of PCP, or angel dust, protects brain cells during heart attacks and strokes. Pumped some PCP into her, and she's looking good. So finally we can just come right out and say it. We are absolutely for angel dust.

We thought that we were for minority hiring plans, especially in Denver. ltturns out that a few of the muchballyhooed new minority hires at the Denver Fire Department are under investigation for actually being white people who lied about their race in order to get hired-life imitates Soul Man. DFD administrators are scratching their heads trying to figure out what to do, so it looks like each suspected Caucasian will have to provide "proof that one has participated as a member of the black community." It's a good thing Sammy Davis Jr. never tried to become a Denver firefighter.

So, George Bush is given to making remarks about the sexual habits of foreign heads of state, lice are running amok in libraries everywhere, Gary Hart likes Mai-Tais, Germany is not selling poison gas to anyone who would use it irresponsibly, angel dust is good for you, and affirmative action has backfired. We now embark on a spring suddenly confused and ambivalent, no longer sure of what or whom we are for or why.

Oh well. No sense worrying about it right now. Just take off the storm windows, fire up the barbecue, get us a lawn chair, pump a half a gin and tonic into us, and we're looking good.

GUEST EDITORIAL Legislation alienates homosexuals out of inalienable rights A group calling itself "Citizens for Sensible Rights" (CSR) recently succeeded in their challenge to Denver's new civil rights ordinance. A question of whether or not to repeal the sexual orientation provisions of the ordinance will appear on the May 21 ballot.

CSR believes that homosexuals are not entitled to the same civil rights protection as other minorities. From the way members of this group talk, one would think that the new ordinance gives gays and lesbians "special rights" that others members of society do not enjoy. The reality is thatthe ordinance ensures the most basic of human rights, such as protection from discrimination in employment and housing.

How anyone can argue that selected members of society do not deserve the same basic rights and opportunities as others is beyond my comprehension, especially in a nation that was founded on the principle of "liberty and justice for all."

Fortunately, we live in a free society that was established, at least in theory, to protect the minority from persecution at the will of the majority. Ironically, what members of CSR fail to understand is that this protection not only extends to homosexuals, but to their own minority opinion of intolerance and prejudice. If they succeed at eliminating the rights of one minority, their rights may be the next in line.

Yet, while most of what we hear coming from this extremist group is simple bigotry that any hate group would be proud of, we do have to give CSR credit for some arguments that should be addressed (whether or not these arguments are mere facades for intolerance).

The most appealing argument I hear coming is that sexual orientation is simply a "personal decision" and does not deserve the same protection as racial minorities. The reasoning goes that a black person was born black, while a gay person chose to be gay. As May 21 nears, CSR will predictably tone down its extremist rhetoric in an attempt to lure the mainstream vote, and this "personal choice" argument will become more and more common.

As a person who is gay, I can testify that my sexual orientation was no "choice" In fact, from the ages of thirteen to eighteen, I prayed every night to have the ability to choose to be heterosexual. I did everything imaginable to try to convert myself, from trying to force myself to like the photos in Playboy to parading around with pretty girlfriends in an attempt to prove something to myself and to my friends. If I had been given a choice, I would have chosen without thinking to be heterosexual- nobody would volunteer to be the target of such painful prejudice and discrimination.

Understandably, for many heterosexuals who have never had a reason to attempt to change their sexual inclinations, it is difficult to comprehend that no "choice" is involved. So let's assume, for the sake of argument, that we do simply decide whether we want to be gay or straight, and the whole question of sexuality is simply a decision.

The ordinance also includes protection for other groups involving a decision, specifically protection from discrimination based on religion, marital status, and military status.

Whether or not to be Mormon or Buddhist, whether or not to marry, and whether or not to serve in the military are all "personal decisions." Why, then, is CSR attempting to only repeal sexual orientation from the ordinance? If "choice" were what CSR is truly concerned about, their targets would include religion , marital status, and military status.

Another argument CSR will bring forward in an attempt to appeal to the mainstream is that discrimination based on sexual orientation does not exist, and special protection is "unnecessary." While discrimination and violence towards homosexuals is certainly under reported due to many victims' fear to report that they are gay, discrimination does exist and is on public record. A sampling of a few of the inequities in the treatment of gays a lesbians in areas not protected by civil rights legislation: • Employers may base their decisions to hire or fire employees on sexual orientation and face no consequences.

Employees discriminated against due to their sexual orien-

tation have no legal basis on which to defend themselves.

•A landlord may legally evict or refuse a tenant based on sexual orientation. Before the enactment of the civil rights ordinance, my partner and I went looking for a new apartment and discovered that discrimination in housing is commonplace. Several landlords said that they had "beautiful one bedroom apartments available." When they discovered the apartment was for two men, however, all the apartments were suddenly inhabited. Discrimination in housing is probably the most common problem faced by homosexuals.

• Like all minorities, homosexuals are experiencing a frightening increase in physical violence and homicide perpetrated by hate groups. In Denver a few years ago, a male hairdresser suspected of being gay was murdered by a group of skin heads. Just recently, a man coming out of a Denver gay bar was stabbed, beaten, and left in serious condition.

The argument that protection from discrimination for homosexuals is "unnecessary" is simply false. Human rights groups can give hundreds of more examples of abuses directed toward gays and lesbians. In addition, all four of Denver's main candidates for mayor, including Democrats Wellington Webb and Norm Early and Republicans Don Bain and Errol Stevens, believe discrimination directed toward homosexuals is a problem, and all firmly support the sexual orientation provisions of the civil rights ordinance.

Denver should follow the example set by over fifty cities and communities across the nation that do not exclude homosexuals from civil rights protection. Denver should send the message to the rest of the country that it is not selective about who should be treated fairly and equally.

A city that believes in human rights for everyone will vote NO to repealing the sexual orientation provisions of the civil rights ordinance.

LETTERS Auraria crime stats skewed by lack of information Editor, Recently, at a student advisory council meeting with the dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, we discussed our likes and dislikes of Metropolitan State College of Denver.

One topic that was discussed as a 'like' was that one student thought Auraria Public Safety was doing such a marvelous job.

The student was impressed by the fact that she rarely hears about any incidences of violence on campus.

Being a journalism student, I informed her that the reason violence on campus isn't always reported on is that Auraria Public Safety's policy on releasing infor-

mation doesn't follow Colorado state statutes.

Many times, it takes weeks for Auraria Public Safety to respond to a request for public information; the state statutes say that they must respond within 72 hours.

One of the things that every journalist knows is that timeliness is a key to reporting the news. When a journalist is denied information for weeks, the validity of reporting a story is lessened.

I think MSCD students should be aware that violence does occur on campus and more would be reported on it if only our police would follow the law.

Stan Hoskins MSCD student

Americans swallow Bush administration rhetoric Editor, Americans are so busy basking in the glorious victory over Iraq (a nation whose GNP is only 2-3% of ours) that many details have been ignored or under reported.

For example: On Nov. 20th the CBS/New York Times poll showed that Americans oppose the war with Iraq for any reason except for stopping Saddam from developing nuclear weapons. Two days later

''

amazingly enough, George Bush announces for the first time that one of the main reasons for U.S. intervention is to stop Saddam from developing nuclear weapons.

The people of this country have been played like a violin and George Bush is in the first chair.

Visiting artist puts diSplay on Higher ground Gerry Murano and Jim Sattler The Metropolitan The entire community benefits from someone !ilce Timothy Griffin' High.

Metropolitan State College of Denver's visiting artist program brought High to Auraria last week to demonstrate studio techniques, discuss his collection of prints, and prepare his current exhibition at MSCD' s Center for the Visual Arts.

High, a National Endowment for the Arts award-winning artist whose specialty is printmaking, showed several prints from his current series, "Vanity Fair." Bold, bright and sometimes disturbing, these prints are a provocative collection employing a carnival setting. The series offers "a walking tour of the false values of contemporary culture ... the pleasures and the poisons of paradise," High said.

High' s images are realistic, looking more Like illustrations than photos. But he does employ techniques of photography in works such as "Placebo." This piece shows an old man, decked out Ii.lee a tourist and holding a 35-millirneter camera, waiting in front of a tilt~a-whirl ride to take a photo. The whirling ride is caught in the blurred motion of a slow exposure while the tourist looks hypnotized by the garish lights.

The newest piece in the exhibit, "Enmeshed," positions the viewer behind a man standing before a large box filled with symbols ofourculture' s values: a gun, a Porsche, jewelry and sex. He cannot physically touch the objects and his only way of getting any

of them out of the box is to use a mechanical claw.

During his career, High has exhibited in more than ioo international , national, and regional shows. His work is contained in some35 permanent collections at places such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. " Placebo," a print by Timothy Griffin High, is on exhibit at the MSCD Visual Arts Center until April 27.

High is a versatile artist. In his position as associate professor of students. bringing him to Denver.

the art department is able to bring four visiting artists a year to the campus, as it enhances the program for faculty as well as students. MSCD art students benefit from the studio demonstrations and exposure to fine collections of art by accomplished artists.

From the artist's perspective, High said he gets inspired working in new spaces as a visiting artist. He said he's impressed with MSCD 's Center for the Visual Arts. "I think it's incredible that the college has its own downtown gallery," he said. 'Tm honored to be able to exhibit here."

An exhibition of prints and drawings by Timothy High is at MSCD's Center for the Visual Arts, 1701 Wazee St., and will continue through April 27. The art gallery is open Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 12 to 4 p.m.

If you thought that finding a color 11

Macintosh system youcould afford was just a dream, then the new, affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true.

The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors.

It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets vou personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds. · like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets youshare information with someone who uses a different type of computer- thanks to the ,·ersatile Apple SuperDrive~ which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks.

Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you.Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh.

Book by MSCD prof chronicles south Denver carol Whitley The Metropolitan "If you want to understand the world you are living in, you have to know where it came from and how it operates," said Phil Goodstein, Colorado historian and teacher at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Goodstein, a 1973 MSCD graduate, recently published his book "South Denver Saga." In 256 pages, it snapshots the development of Denver south of Cherry Creek beginning with the discovery of gold in 1857 along the South Platte River. It chronicles the uneasy origins of south Denver and the area's efforts to succeed as a vibrant, urban neighborhood in the '90s.

According to Goodstein, "South Denver has been something of a state of mind, a place where residents have sought to achieve the American dream in an ever-changing city."

One of the more interesting facts Goodstein discovered in his research was an "outrageousscandalintheearly 1880s, when south Denver tried to host a regional equivalent of the world's fair." Goodstein said the National Mining and Industrial Exposition wanted to increase the number ofrailroad passengers to Denver and planned to use the fair as a railroad promotion, but it never materialized.

'The rise of assorted sleazy sex joints along South Broadway started popping up in the early '70s.'

Also included in the book are the origins ofsome ofthe city's most exclusive mansions near the Denver Country Club and Polo Club, including homes of John Evans II, Elli Wechbaugb and Lawrence Phipps.

Goodstein also reveals the seamy side of Denver and takes a trip across town where

Phll Goodstein "the rise of assorted sleazy sex joints along South Broadway started popping up in the early '70s, such as the erotic bakery in town, Le Bakery Sensual," he said.

Special attention is paid to modem south Denver, noting the problems and development of the Denver Design Center.

Goodstein said he became fascinated with history "because of its all-encompassing subjt:.ct matter. I could study whatever I felt like because there are no parameters."

When it comes to teaching, Goodstein sees himself as "an entertainer and overwhelming taskmaster. I tend to be fairly thorough and strict in what I demand from students, because too many students don't know anything," he ~aid . He hopes his students get a little different approach to learning in his class.

Goodstein said he likes to focus on details and wants his students to have pride in research and learning. But when asked why he teaches he said,"Students can be stimulating or a drag. It's a good way to meet people and teaching pays better than writing."

Education, travel highlights tour Brian Ball The Metropolitan Marilyn Hetzel, a professor in the Metropolitan State College of Denver speech department, has just begun a tour of Czechoslovakia and the USSR. James Symons, chairman of the theater department at CU, asked Hetzel to be a part _ofPeople to People International, an organization which strives to foster global relationships.

Along with Hetzel, other professionals from Texas, Ohio, Washington and New York will share their ideas and talents.

These professionals will be making dis-

coveries of techniques, sharing philosophies, attending shows together and working to nurture ongoing communication and exchange of ideas. Hetzel will contribute her expertise in theater, acting, dance and the arts.

The People to People International trip, which began March 23 and ends on April 6, will encompass Frankfurt, Prague, Moscow, Leningrad and Helsinki.

When asked to impart a message to students, Hetzel said, "Education can afford one the opportunity to realize that there are other cultures and ways of thinking out there in the world. Discover ways in which you too can go out and experience these things yourself."

"How many part-time jobs can you name that give you a chance to b~ promoted to supervisor'? I couldn~ think of any either. But that's how they do things at UPS. You can carry a full class load and still get the opportunity to advance at work.

"I started making almost $10,000 a year working about 4 hours a day- now I'm rnaking even more. And UPS let me pick the shift I wanted to work- one that fit my crazy schedule. They even threw in a terrific package of benefits.

We talked about positions in Accounting, Industrial Engineering, 1.S. and Customer Service. I chose Operationsand now I'm management. Part-time UPS Supervisor. It looks great on my resume, and even better in my bank book.

"There's no other JOb that gives a student this kind of opportunity. Because there's no other company like UPS." For further Information contact your Student Employment Office on campus Arts Bldg. Rm 177.

Center helps to "write" students' wrongs Deanna Allen The Metropolitan Whether writing the great American novel, composing the perfect resume or just trying to survive English 102, there is a place on campus that offers help.

"The Writing Center is here to help students, faculty and staff at all stages of the composing process," said Sandra Doe, director. "We want to help people grow in their writing."

"Sometimes," Doe told a student, "we have to work to rectify what you learned in high school or even junior high school with what college instructors want. Students will

miss class or something when they are learning these skills, and the wires get crossed in their writing."

Outside the office door sits a small table with a colorful hand-lettered sign above it.

"Writing Center Annex" it proclaims.

Graham Walker, an instructor in the Earth sciences department and a tutor, huddles with a student underneath the "Writing Center Annex" sign, working on the sentence structure and grammar of a student's paper.

"Read the paragraph out loud to me," Walker said. As the student began to read, Walker listened carefully. "Stop- what are you trying to tell the reader? That sentence isn' tclear. Let' s try it another way," Walker

said.

Students find the Writing Center in a variety of ways. Many are referred by their instructors, others wander in on their own.

Each writer is helped with his specific problems one-on-one with a tutor.

"Many people see this type of work as remedial," Doe said. "But it is not. A-ctually it is developmental. We want to help writers face reorganizing their papers without that sense of doom and foreboding that they often have."

Eight tutors staff the center. Most of them are volunteers. Students are allowed one 50rninute appointment each week to work with a tutor.

"If we can get more space and tutors, I would like to see the center staffed every day with not only a tutor for appointments, but one who could answer questions for drop-in students also."

The Writing Center, located in Central Classroom Building Room 112 F, is open from Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Students can call the office at 556-2103 to make an appointment.

A view from the press box

Thinking about the world of sports

Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Now that Duke has shaken the blues with their 72-65 win over Kansas and the NCAA Tournament has come to its thrilling and unexpected culmination, we are going to drift into that boring sports black hole.

Baseball's opening day is Monday April 8, the NBA is still a seeming light-year away from the playoffs, the new World League of American Football isn't much to write home about, a few boxing matches, the Stanley Cup - but after the NCAA Tournament everything pales in comparison.

The great thing about sports is anticipation. It doesn't take the actual event to make a sports fan delirious with excitement.

Actually the anticipation may be one of the most exciting times of the year. No one's winning or losing. Expectations are as high as you want them to be. Now that we have entered this void of the non-exciting time of competition, the most exciting thing is the anticipation and mere thoughts of sports.

NFL draft, this month - who will be the team that will serve as the Rocket's launching pad? Who will the Broncos' pick, will it be a pass rusher or maybe someone for the secondary, will they trade? Will this be an offensive draft, in more ways than one? My pick: Todd Lyght if he's available, other-

wise Mike Croel from Nebraska.

Will Darryl be in the Dodgers' Strawberry fields forever?

Will Jose Canseco ask for a larger contract to pay for all his traffic fines and alimony?

Mike Tyson and Razor Ruddock II: even though boxing reeks with corruption, it's nice to see a rematch scheduled in the same calendar year.

Richard Steele - good referee, villain or just one of all the Kings' men?

Don King - good promoter, humanitariatt or just a hair ball spit up by a very large cat?

Will Marge "hit me with your best" Schott, the owner of the Cincinnati Reds, continue to nauseate baseball fans?

Thoughts of the NBA Championship, sometime in June-Will MichaelJordan be Bullish on the playoffs?

Will Portland blaze a trail to the crown?

Can Charles Barkley return from injury and if so will he be his same spitting image of his healthy self?

Never count out the two old warhorses: Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. As long as Magic is playing he can make championships appear for the Lakers and with Bird, the Celtics have a chance to soar for the title.

The WLAF' s new helmet cam - a great innovation or just more proofthat Big Brother is truly watching us?

Something Bo doesn't know: how to take off his sunglasses.

The Kentucky Derby - the first Saturday in May- that's real horsepower.

The Indy 500 - the last Sunday in May - that's awesome horsepower.

Sergei Bubka - a great pole vaulter or the new plan in the Soviet space program?

What kind of tools made the Stanley Cup? George Foreman and Evander Holyfield - I can't weight.

Barry Bonds from the Pittsburgh Pirates - What do ya say, let's all chip in and buy him a crib.

Will Tommy Lasorda get Fernando Valenzuela on a Slim Fast diet and have him try for a comeback next season?

Will the Tark be back next season or have the Jaws of the NCAA taken their toll on the shark?

Nolan Ryan - pitcher or Ponce De Leon in disguise?

Are the Los .Angeles Raiders going to change their name to the 49ers?

Coach K winning the NCAA, isn't that Special?

Can the Reds be as Nasty this season as last?

Puttering toward the Masters and the U.S. Open.

Major league baseball in Denver - a nice little hurricane in Florida about now wouldn't hurt.

The NFL' s plan B free agent plan - was it devised by the NFL or by a bunch of ambitious real estate agents?

Chicago White Sox - a real hip move in signing Bo or do they just own stock in Nike?

Doug Moe - the owner of the Denver Nuggets? Now there's a thought.

Los Angeles and Gretzky- favorites to be the Kings of the ice.

Clarence Kay- it's last call, happy hour is over.

The Chicago Cubs-favorites to win the NL pennant? Dunston, Grace, Sandberg, Bell, Dawson - awesome power but pitching will be the question mark.

Bronco fans - there are only 113 days until the first preseason game. Now there's a scary thought.

So as I wait for the baseball season to heat up and the NBA playoffs to get under way, here's to the world of sports - I'll be thinking about you.

Smith never satisfied, ready to contend for CAC next season Dale Shrull Sports Editor After going 15-13 in his first year as head coach of the Metropolitan State College of Denver women's basketball team, Darryl Smith can't seem to get any satisfaction.

"I wouldn't say I'm satisfied," Smith said. "If you're satisfied, it's like you're giving up."

The Auraria Gymnasium renovations, and a roster of only six players until Christmas, forced the team to overcome a lot of obstacles on their way to a school record for wins in a season, Smith said.

The 15-13 mark broke the old school record of 11-16 set last season; even with the successful of his inaugural season with the Roadrunners, Smith isn't about to rest on his one-year laurels.

"I've always been an optimist," he said.

Dennis SmllsfThe Metropolitan

"This is my third head coaching job and everywhere I've been I always felt we'd do well."

Entering his first year of recruiting at MSCD, Smith signed four transfers during spring break.

Amon_g the signees is Cindy Dalton, a 5foot-8 guard who was a junior college honorable mention All-American. Lisa Schamp will transfer from Adams State College in Alamosa. The 6-foot-l-inchjunior recently had a baby and decided to come toMSCDandcontinueherbasketballcareer.

Smith is happy with the new recruits but said he knows that the bulk of playing time will be handled by his returning players.

"We're good right now," he said. "We felt like we needed some players."

The 'Runners will have seven jultiors next season so Smith said he will have to prepare to replace them in two years.

Even though the gymnasium is still under construction, Smith said it's a plus when he brings possible recruits to the campus.

"I think it' s a positive selling point, they can see the progress and that the school is serious," be said.

The 'Runners finished 4th in the Colorado Athletic Conference with a 6-6 mark.

Smith voiced his optimism about next seasons competition in the CAC. "We will definitely contend for the title," he said.

With the winning foundation set, Smith has set his team goals for next season.

"Win 20 games, the CAC title and have a heck of a lot of fun trying."

If she is one of the top players in the regional she will advance to the next trial.

"I think she does (have a good chance)," MSCD women 's head coach Darryl Smith

said. "She'll compete well."

Roberts was named to the first-team Colorado Athletic Conference team and helped lead the 'Runners to a 15-13 record.

She not only led the CAC in rebounding but also the entire NCAA Division II grabbing an average of 14.2 rebounds a game.

The 1988 graduate of Green Mountain High School, established several MSCD

records over the year. She broke three singlegame marks in the same contest:. 33 points, 27 rebounds and seven block shots in a 7056 win over Regis College Feb. 23.

Women's Walk will help foot the bill If you feel like helping the Metropolitan State College of Denver women's athletic program, walk this way.

MSCD will hold its third annual Women's Walk April 20 at IO a.m. The walk will be held on Lawrence and Larimer streets at the Auraria Campus which are no longer public access streets.

The walk is held to help raise needed scholarship funds for women's athletic programs at MSCD. It also provides an oppor-

tunity for people to show support for and get involved in the college community.

The walk will operate on a team concept.

People will volunteer to be team captains and it will then be their job to recruit as many persons for their team as possible. Each team member will, in tum contact friends and business persons by mail, phone or in person to obtain pledges based on how many quarter miles the walker will walk in 30 minutes.

This year's goal is for each walker to raise a minimum of $100.

All donations will be used to help pay for room and board, and book scholarships provided for women athletes. The donation can be designated to a specific women's sport if desired.

Anyone interested in participating in the walk should contact Rodney Wecker, MSCD's coordinator of Athletic Development at 556-8300 or 556-8424.

Red Rocks Community College The stepping stones to your future

Dear Counseling Center, I'm a part-time student at Metro State and work parttime. fQ.ur out of six of us in our household are college stu~- As the mother of this household, I would get some help with the household chores. No one seems to care to give old mom a hand. How can I enlist their help without starting a war.

Signed, Exhausted Mom, Student and Employee Dear Exhausted: Several thoughts come to mind in reading your letter.

You might want to: l) Go on strike, 2) Call a family meeting to discuss the probiem, or 3) Declare your independence by suggesting that anyone who isn't willing to assume some of the responsibilities around the home go and find another place to live.

All ornone of these might work with yourfamily. However Ican sympathize with your situation having raised four children who weren't into doing their fair share for a period of time.

We couldn't even decide what was a fair share and I resorted to all of the above suggestions.

All kidding aside - call a family meeting to discuss the situation and come to some sort of compromise. You need to have a definite idea of what you are willing and able to do, and what you are not willing to do, even if this means that the dishes stay d irty in the sink or someone has to wear dirty clothes. It is important that each person participate in this family meeting, and focus upon what can be done by the whole group to facilitate the general situation.

I would also suggest that a written contract be constructed and that a follow-up meeting be scheduled to discuss what is working and what still needs to be refined. Try to stay focused on the tasks that need to be accomplished rathe~ than on the personal qualities of those who don't want to help you out, and GOOD LUCK! Send letters to MSCD Counseling Center, CN 203. Campus Box 005.
