MSCD President Thomas B. Brewer and CU-Denver Chancellor John C. Buechner discuss artistic technique during an Executive Board coloring contest intended to promote Auraria Family Night April 26. Family Night will feature carnival games, a coffee house, music and entertainment in the Auraria Student Union from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Fee increase inevitable in Tivoli acquisition Deb Brown The Metropolitan

":

.. _'L

..:-

When it comes to the Tivoli Union proposal, students are faced with the adage: "You can pay me now or you can pay me later."

According to Auraria officials, if the students reject the $3 bond fee increase to move the Student Union to the Tivoli, everything will be put on bold but a future increase is inevitable to build more classroom space or expand the existing Student Union.

The bond fee referendum will be voted on April 23 and 24 to raise the current bond fee from $19 to $2.2 per semester for each student "Three dollars is a lot better now than down the road," said Emerson Holliday, division director for the Auraria Student Union.

"Some student body someday will have to fund it."

Holliday said that the $3 bond fee increase is the minimum they

could ask of the students.

He said that if the referendum passes, a pmgram planning committee will be set up to decide how the space will be allocated. The committee will include two student representatives from each school.

The amount of the new bond is $10.3 million, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration for Auraria Higher Education Center. Money raised by the bond fee will be used for the lease acquisition, construction, renovation, operation and maintenance of the facility, she said.

Soker said that there is an increasing need for more classroom space as well as offices for faculty and administration. The move to the Tivoli would alleviate the space problem and create more space for student activities, she said.

The current retail businesses will be encouraged to stay, Soker said adding that there will be new

retail outlets going in. The students have been asked in a survey what types of businesses they would want, she said.

The bonds will be paid back with student fees and with revenue from the retail outlets, Soker said.

In response to concerns that the retail businesses would not be profitable, Soker said the student fees would increase. That would be the worst case scenario, she said.

"It's just not realistic, given the conservative estimates of revenue we've used. The AMC Theaters in the Tivoli are one of the biggest grossing theaters in the U.S.," Soker said.

Holliday said there are 280,000 square feet of space in the Tivoli and that at least 67 percent of that will be used as student space. He added that 33 percent of the space is reserved for retail operations.

Approximately $4 million will be needed for remodeling the

Tivoli, Holliday said.

Soker said that the present lease holder, Trizec, has already spent $30 million on renovations.

Soker declined to comment on how much Trizec, a Canadian company, wanted for the lease reaquistion.

Soker said that the price to convert the existing Student Union to usable space would be fairly modest to put in dividers, carpet and to paint.

Chip Wiman, MSCD Student Government president-elect, said it appears that the lepe acquisition would be approximately $6.3 million.

He said he went into this proposal skeptically but can't find any hidden risks adding that the benefits outweigh the risks. He said the most the student fees would increase would be $ l 0 per semester if the retail businesses failed.

"That's just not realistic because see TIVOLI page 5

The Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Activities Office will honor one or more of 15 MSCD clubs nominated for outstanding service in the firstMSCD Club Awards presentation April 25 at the Denver Firefighters Museum and Restaurant.

Davidson Porter, associate director of MSCD Student Activities, said that many of the 87 MSCD-recognized lubs deserve more credit for the many services they provide.

"We wanted to come up with annt!ler way to recognize clubs on campus for all the hard work they do," Porter said. "A lot of times their work goes unrecognized."

A pawl hangs over event preparations following the sudden death ofeminent MSCD alumnus and community leader Richard Castro last weekend.

The Metropolitan Leadership Steering Committee had asked Castro to be the guest speaker at the awards ceremony.

Ed Quayle, coordinator of clubs and organizations, said that Student Activities made plans after news of Castro's hospitalization to ask John Graham of the Giraffe Project, a motivational group, ifhecould suggest someone to speak in place of Castro.

The Giraffe project helps people to become effective leaders and recognizing talent in club leadership is what the awards ceremony was created for, Quayle said.

A panel will judge club nominees first on what they stated about themselves in the applications each submitted.

Secondly the panel will judge nominees on the effectiveness of a club-sponsored event, for example a public discussion of a vital issue or cultural presentation.

Winners will receive commissioned art pieces created by MSCD student Rachael Malone.

The Renaissance Festival, held in Larkspur 30 miles south of Denver, creates a 16th century marketplace of crafts, artisans and entertainment.

"It's a real good time for students and it's a great learning experience," Mazzu said.

The festival runs 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturdays and SundaysJune 15-July28. For more infonnation, call Gary Mazzo at 756-1501 or 355-1354.

Auraria Campus is burgeoning with the greenery of spring, and this fall the campus may again be sprouting, but this time with containers that could befriend the preservation ofnature's dwindling greenery - its trees.

If the Auraria Board of Directors approves funding for a proposed recycling program, offices and public areas in campus buildings will be decked with more than 100 receptacles for newspaper, white paper and aluminum cans.

The recycling program would not only preserve green in the form of trees, but also in the form of the

fundsrequiredtoremovetrashfrom campus, said Kalen Landow, chair of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

"Boulder Campus, I understand, has decreased its trash pulls by 30 percent," Landow said, who speculated that in a worst-case scenario Auraria Campus would see a 20 percent cut.

Though Landow expects Auraria to prune its waste-management expenditures by 30 percent, the savings may fall short since Auraria is a commuter campus and generates less trash than the University of Colorado at Boulder, Landow said.

Though SACAB forged the proposal and submitted it to the Auraria Board in December 1990,

the recycling pro gram was a brainchild of Colorado Public Interest Research Group.

Last spring CoPIRG approached SACAB with the idea to augment current efforts to retrieve and recycle campus refuse, Landow said.

CoPIRG has since implemented an interim pilot project to recycle newspaper and aluminium cans, but has been beleaguered with the difficulty of retaining volunteer workers, Landow said. CoPIRG has receptacles located in the Auraria Library, Student Union, and PER Building.

The proposed recycling program, if approved, will be staffed by one full-time and one part-time employee and will support current

efforts to recycle Auraria' s tri-college trash, Landow said.

Currently, the Student Union cafeteria recycles foam, the campus computer labs their computer paper and W.O.W, "We-cycle Office Wastepaper" recycles white paper. W.O.W . issponsoredbythe Colorado Office of Energy Conservation and the Recycle Colorado Project.

The Auraria Board of Directors will decide by its June budget deadline whether to appropriate funds to the recycling program for the 1992 school year.

"When you've got a community of 32,000 plus, you've got to be aware of what you're using and how it impacts the environment," she said.

Q

Student Development program director to be named Adam Shockley The Metropolitan

The search for a director to head up the newly created Office of Student Development will come to an end with a decision the week of April 15.

Manuel Escamilla, assistant to the vice president of Academic Affairs for Metropolitan State College of Denver, is the chair of the search committee in charge of finding someone to head the program. He will also oversee the operation.

"We hope to have identified the top candidate for the position by April 12," Escamilla said. ''Then we'll probably make a decision in the following week."

Escamilla said that the center is needed to provide students, in particular minority students, with ad-

ditional support in their effort to graduate from MSCD. " The graduation rate of underrepresented grqups at Metro needs to be higher," Escamilla said.

"More minority students should come to college and more minority students should graduate."

Paul Wilken of the MSCD office of Institutional Research estimated that the number of minority student applicants to MSCD in the spring 1991 semester was 2633 black, Asian, Hispanic and NativeAmerican applicants who identified themselves as such comprise the figure .

The figure cannot reflect applicants who chose not to declare their racial identity.

Escamilla said that one of the primary goals behind the center is to create a body of people that will work to motivate minority students

as well as track their progress.

"AU students need a place where they can be nurtured - a place where they can receive guidance, " Students from he said. underrepresented groups traditionally do not make use of existing services."

Employees at the center will strive to inform students about campus services and help them make use of those services, Escamilla said. "Instead of waiting for students to come to our office, we will come to them," he said.

Escamilla said that the center has received $200,000 in funding from the state.

He said that the new director will receive a salary of approximately $35,ood per year.

The job description drafted by Escamilla calls for numerous professional and academic qualifica-

tions, but he said that the most important qualities they are looking for in a candidate is "a person who's going to be student-oriented." He said he was looking for "a person who's going to be able to help students."

Escamilla stressed that the search committee has not made a preplanned effort to hire a minority for the position but said that they were looking for "A person who can more closely identify with minorities."

However, he said that minorities will not be considered exclusively for the position. Carla Pacheco, senior secretary for Escamilla, said the Student Development Center is due to go into partial operation within the spring semester.

Food vendor options considered for 'Tivoli Union' Sherry L. Kirkpatrick The Metropolitan The Food Service Advisory Committee has approved new contracts for food service vendors at the Auraria Campus pending the buy-back of the Tivoli property for a new student center.

Professional Food Management, the company that services the Student Union, has been offered an extension on their contract, according to an FSAC member. The extension would last for 18 months or until the Student Union is moved to the Tivoli

building, whichever comes first.

Michael Newlon, chair of the committee, said that the short duration of the current contract for the Student Union makes it difficult for many companies to bid.

PFM also services the North Classroom Building, the Mercantile and the campus child care center.

According to Tim Gelston, the University of Colorado•at Denver student representative to the Auraria Board, it looks as though the committee will also be accepting an extension of the contract for Canteen, the company that services the vending machines

Some retailers said they are also happy about the idea.

(to be voted on April 23, 24) Shall the Board of The Auraria Higher Education Center be authorized to assess an additional student fee for the purpose of financing or refinancing the construction or other acquisition and equipment of student center facilities at the Auraria Higher Education Center, including facilities at the Tivoli Brewery, and to pledge such student fee to the repayment of money advanced for this purpose?

The fee will be collected commencing the fall semester of 1991 and continue until any bonds issued for this purpose have been repaid in full .

The first years' additional student fee for this purpose will not exceed $3.00 per student per semester. Such additional student fee will supplement the existing $19.00 student fee resulting in a first year total fee of $22.00 per student per semester for student fee facilities. Not less than 67% of the total square footage in the Tivoli will be assignable through the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, subject to approval by the Auraria Board.

The college is not hiring enough minorities and the Moviemiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) organization is misusing funds, charged Kenneth Ibarra, an MSCD student.

Ibarra is also the founder and president of Somos Raza, a newly formed communitybased group.

Ibarra said that out of 115 full- and parttime faculty in the school of business, "Not one Latino is there."

According to fall l 990 statistics, the school of business has 60 full-time faculty, which consists of six minorities: two African-Americans, and four Asians. Out of the 77 part-time faculty, there are seven minorities: five African-American, one Asian and one Hispanic.

Out of 235 full-time fa,culty at Metropolitan State College of Denver, only six are Mexican, Ibarra claimed.

As offall 1990, statistics show thatMSCD had a total of 349 full-time faculty. Of those, 46 are minorities: 16 African Americans, 17 Hispanics, 12 Asians, and one NativeAmerican.

Percy Morehouse, director of Equal Opportunity Office, said, "The college has taken a pro-active approach to recruiting and hiring minority faculty."

The college intends to eliminate underrepresentation of minority groups, Morehouse said.

He said that MSCD goes by a utilization analysis that is provided by the Department of Labor from the census.

The analysis gives guidelines for the availability for all job groups. From the analysis, businesses can derive the approximate number of minorities they should employ to achieve appropriate representation.

Morehouse said that the government requires all schools that receive federal funds to set up affirmative action programs and time tables to end underrepresentation.

Morehouse did state that the number of minority employees does not have to represent the actual population, but does have to be "based on who's available."

For instance, a certain population in a community may have a high number of

"I'm encouraged because we have implemented two pro-active programs," Morehouse said, concerning the hiring of minorities.

However, Morehouse said, "I'll be pleased when we eliminate underrepresentation."

Regarding MEChA, Ibarra said that there is money unaccounted for and that people within the organization are stealing money.

Ina March 12memoto YolandaEricksen, director of Student Activities, Ibarra wrote, "I simply cannot stand by and continue to let these abuses continue."

However, Ericksen said, "We can't find anything (misappropriate use of funds) ."

She also said that Ibarra is now making allegations concerning an upcoming conference for MEChA. "That's squeaky clean," Ericksen said regarding the preliminary work for the conference.

In an earlier memo, Ericksen wrote, "We do not believe there has been any misappropriation of funds by the MEChA membership."

Joe Navarro, a MEChA member, said, "Any allegations are really unfounded. He's never attempted to work with us."

He said that Ibarra spends more time attacking MEChA than working for issues of real concern for his race.

Workshop explores problems of Chicanos Ramirez said school causes good stress but racism creates bad stress, such as anxiety, alienation and depression.

"Whites started the pecking order based on race and money. Racism is primarily white people's invention," said Ramirez.

Ramirez also pointed out past and present examples of institutionalized racism.

"Racistscientistssaidnegroes' braincells were smaller and their brains were less developed which supported the racist view thatblackswerelessintelligentthanwhites," he said.

Ramirez said that blacks first received more direct racism partly because Chicanos were ignored. Chicanos were perceived as being out west and an unimportant indigenous people. But in later years, he said, Spanish-speaking-only students took tests in English and failed. They were then Labeled retarded.

"People didn't think it was racism. Raeism is so deep in the psyche," said Ramirez.

The Metropolitan Chicanos underutilize counseling services to combat racism, according to a discussion on racism and mental health held April 13 at Auraria's Student'Union.

"National Chicano Student Conference," the name of the three-day conference, held numerous workshops pertinent to the Chicano student and community.

Marty Ramirez of the University of Nebraska spoke of racism and its effect on mental health.

"Racism starts at the behavioral level.

First one gets a cold stare or cold shoulder," he said. Ramirez spoke of discrimination toward a person of color who has "made it."

"Having a doctorate and being a professor - I've made it but I still deal with discrityination. At K-mart, white people pay and go while I'm asked to show three ID's," he said.

Ramirez also said the standards or guidelines for entrance to graduate schools are exclusionary.

"Overall, Chicano students' grades have goneupbuttheirGREscoreshaveremained the same and there are problems with letters of recommendation. Chicano students don't speak up enough so it's difficult for a teacher to recommend them," he said.

Besidesexamplesofracismanditseffects, he examined how and why Chicanos continue to be shut out from counseling services.

"Chicanos receive misinformation about counseling and the culture of mental health clashes with the culture of ethnicity," Ramirez said.

Ramirez explained that Chicanos perceive counseling as advice and have traditionally gone to priests and doctors for counseling.

"How can Chicanos' needs be met without Spanish-speaking Chicano doctors,

nurses, psychologists and teachers? There are still barriers in higher education," he said.

Ramirez commended the Chicano movement for pushing for more staff and teachers at colleges but he said the movement has not pushed for Chicano counselors which hurts Chicano students.

Ramirez also spoke of the increasing population of Chicanos.

"Demographics is the new revolutionary word in addition to the Civil Rights and Women's Movements. For example, 20 percent of Nebraska is now Chicano," said Ramirez. · Ramirez also refereed to the problems with meeting the increasing needs of lowerclass Chicanos. He also spoke of how Chicanos are becoming the largest segment of U.S. society.

"America will never be the same. Whites and blacks are going to have to give up their power," he said.

Chicano conference marred by accusations of racism from the hotel's lounge by Denver police officers.

MSCD student Joe Navarro said that he thought that the police removal of Chicanos from the lounge of the hotel was "racially motivated."

"The police came in and secured the lounge," he said. 'They removed all of the Chicanos in the Lounge, but they left everyone else alone."

Navarro said that the incident could have been averted if there had been better com-

"The police came in angry and they wouldn't listen to anybody," he said. "There was no communication - we were all told to be quiet."

He said' everything started when the manager of the hotel told a staff member to call police and that person mistakenly called 911.

Since they called 911 the police came in expecting an emergency, he said.

Ann Lyon -

"I'm kind of ambivalent. Sometimes I go over there and smoke and relax, I'm kind of worried that if AHEC takes it over, I'm afraid it will go away ...

Yeah, I'll probably vote for it."

Gerry Hausler - MSCD senior

Terry Heller-MSCD sophomore

" I think it's a great Idea, we really need the space here. I like the Idea of having a lot of shops, comfortable places to sit, and read, and I don't think you get that in (the Student Union) ... I will vote yes."

"Off hand I think the idea is interesting.

I like the Tivoli, I think it's kind of sad that it's half empty now. I need to ask around (about the use of student fees).

If they're not making good use of them now, I don't want to raise them."

He said he would probably vote, but didn't know which way.

Buzzwords

So, what is this co-dependency thing, anyway?

Dave Plank Life is full of nagging little mysteries that will likely remain unsolved forever. Chief among these is probably the question of what, exactly, holds all the atoms in the universe together. Atthe other end of the long list is where that one sock goes every time you do a load of laundry.

Somewhere between those two extremes lies a question that has been bugging the hell out of me for the last few days: how come, every once in a while, everybody in the country starts talking about the same things, using the same words?

They're called "buzzwords." Usually, they are picked up from trash television or the self-help bestseller du jour, and they either represent everybody's problems or the solution to them.

I'm OK you're OK. Junk bonds. Oat bran. You get the idea.

I was talking with a friend the other day. Mostly, we were saying nasty things about a couple of other friends of ours who are romantically involved, things like "what's she doing with him," "what's he doing with her," "why are they together," "bet they won't be much longer," that kind of stuff. Suddenly, she sprang this term on me that I'd previously only heard about from Geraldo and Oprah.

"They're completely co-dependent," she said with a sneer. "It's not healthy."

The same day, I was talking to my dad on the phone, long-distance from Lander, Wyoming, where I went to high school and learned everything I now know about Shaffer Beer and Cow Tipping.

"You know," he said in the middle of a conversation about my grandparents, "co.!dependent is the buzzword

of the '90s."

As you can imagine, this left me fairly well shocked, enough -so that I dropped the phone. Upon further reflection, however, I took some solace in the fact that once a "buzzword" filters down to Lander, Wyoming, it's got to be on its way to pop-culture heaven.

I was wrong. Not 48 hours later, I was sitting in my mom's kitchen in Lakewood, talking about her marriage counseling, which is very expensive but going well.

"We're both working at the marriage," she said. "I've been trying harder and harder not to be co-dependent, and your stepfather's been lifting up the seat when he pees."

As heartening as this news was, I felt strangely ambivalent about the whole thing. While it was good to know that they were coming to grips with the bathroom cleanliness dilemma that has been the shame of my family for years, I was offended by the fact that some dime-store shrink had told my mom that she had a codependency problem. This was too weird. I needed to talk to someone who could bring a stable, levelheaded perspective to the whole thing, someone whose advice I could take immediately to heart without giving it a second thought.

"What?" my girlfriend said, as I breached the topic over dinner.

"You know," I said. "Co-dependent. Everybody's been talking about it lately. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it on Sally Jesse Raphael."

"Dave, I work. I don't get to do nothing except sit around and eat and watch daytime TV the way you do.

Pass me the salt."

"Whatever. Anyway, everybody's talking about it, and I just wonder what it all means," I said, handing her the shaker.

"It means that you aren't supposed to get so involved with somebody that you lose yourself completely to them and stop living your own life," she said. "You need to nurture your own goals and aspirations, and it's important to keep a little part of your life away from the other person, a part that's just for you. Pass the pepper."

"Well," I said, taking the salt back and reaching for the pepper, "that just doesn't make any sense. I thought losing yourself and sacrificing your goals and aspirations was what relationships were all about.

Look at us. By that definition, we're co-dependent."

"No we're not," she said, shaking her head. "I mean, at least I'm not."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean there are things I do that I don't tell you about. Things that are just for me."

I didn't like this. "What things?"

"I can't tell you. Just 1hings." She paused for a minute, as if carefully weighing her remarks. "Things I like to wear. n "What?" I choked, past a mouthful of onion rings.

"I'm just kidding. Look, if you don't think ifs a problem, then I wouldn't worry about it. Can I have the salt again?"

I decided atthatpointthat I'd heard enough, and we dropped the conversation. Later that night, though, I flipped past Morton Downey Jr. talking with an animal psychologist about co-dependence between pets.

Well, I thought, if cocktail talk in Lander, Wyoming can't put this co-dependence thing to bed, maybe Morton Downey Jr. will. Then I shut off the TV, and went to find my girlfriend, whom I hadn't seen for a while.

I needed to see what she was wearing.

Department condemns KKK, Nazi party ra°Zly Editor, During the middle of this century, the Nazi party in Germany was responsible for the systematic extermination of over six million innocent people. Since the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan has been an instigator and active participant in groundless persecution and in the murders of countless Americans. On April 20, 1991 , these two groups plan to join forces at the state capitol in Denver to celebrate Hitler's birthday.

While we of the MSCD Sociology, Anthropology and Social Welfare Department are staunch advocates of free speech, we agree that it is important to make this statement: Both the Nazi party and the Ku Klux Klan represent undesirable elements in American society. Their expressed goals and viewpoints are cruel, murderous,

and in direct opposition to our own values. Our values include a profound respect for human diversity, opposing racism and gender bias in all their forms, and compassion for those who suffer poverty, discrimination and pain with in impersonal or adverse social systems. We accepttheir constitutional rightto convene, but we strongly condemn and oppose the viewpoints these two groups represent.

We hope that the MSCD administration agrees with our department's position and will promptly issue a similar statement of its own to the media.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

We await your reply anxiously.

The faculty members and staff of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Welfare

Students must oppose proposed fee increase To the representatives of the students of Metropolitan State College of Denver:

I strongly urge and request that you put forth concentrated effort so as to avoid the proposed increase to students (tuition or fees) in the Fall of 1991 . I understand that there is a lobbyist that works for Metro at the capital, and that !tis possible that more state (or

even federal) monies to be allocated for Metropolitan State College of Denver.

I also recommend that students write cards or letters to the student government, SACAB, and even President Brewer himself on this matter.

Introduction offends visitor at Fuentes lecture Editor, I attended the public lecture given by Carols Fuentes.

Congatulations and many thanks to all those who worked together to bring him to Denver; it was an extraordinary opportunity for me to get to hear him speak in person.

It is painful for me to criticize any part of this endeavor; however, it neetis to be stated publicly that Dr. David Williams, Vice-President for Academic and Student Affairs, did an incredibly poor job of introducing Dr. Fuentes. "Fuentes" is not a difficult name for speakers of English to pronounce (I tried it on several members of my family who are not Spanish speaking, and after 2 or 3 repetitions, they all pronounced it well).

Yet, Dr. Williams consistently mispronounced "Fuentes." What is worse, and which caused all of

15

THE METROPOLITAN

those seated around me to snicker or blush, was when Dr. Williams stumbled over the names of Fuentes' famous titles. The focus of Dr. Williams' introduction was to praise Dr. Fuentes and acknowledge his longstanding international fame ; ironically, it appeared to me and apparently to many others, that Dr. Williams was reading of Fuentes and his books forthe first time.

Carlos Fuentes, along with all the campus groups who worked to bring him to Denver, deserve a firstrate, informed introduction. In the future, I trust those who are honored to do an introduction, will devote some preparation time to the endeavor prior to approaching the microphone.

Investigation prompts open records pol_icy change Kevin Loewen The Metropolitan

;-._-

_.)

Admirnstrators at Metropolitan State College of Denver have tightened an already restrictive school policy to limit the flow of public information about students.

The current policy and the policy change were uncovered during an investigation centered on the availability of "directory information." According to Page 37 of the MSCD spring catalog, the following infor~ation has been designated directory information by the school and therefore is exempt from the privacy rules of the federal education statutes: a) name, address and phone listing b) date and place of birth c) major and minor fields of study d) participation in officially recognized activities and sports e) weight and height of members of athletic teams f) dates of attendance g) degi:ees and awards received h) most recent previous educational agency or institution attended Free access to basic identification may allow students to find help with homework, to form study groups and enhance their social life.

Much of the information is already available in telephone books and other public records but the school's refusal to release its public records complicates the process of finding a classmate.

Students who do not wish for the information to be re1'a$~-Qan h,ave ¡t kep.tcog- ~ fidential by notifying the school witlntlthe

10 days of registering.

Despite the statement in the catalog, MSCD bureaucrats have thrown up roadblocks to discourage students from trying to obtain the information, including that about students who have not asked for the information to be kept confidential.

In contrast, other schools, including Colorado State University, publish directories or supply printouts that are available in public places such as the student center.

The information can be used to confirm a student's enrollment for insurance purposes or by potential employers, and for the scouting of athletes.

However, the MSCD summer 1991 catalog reveals that the adrrtinistration has changed its policy on releasing directory information to lirrtit it to name and address.

Kenneth Curtis, dean of Admissions and Records, said the information was not made readily available because there bad been a death on campus involving the information and some people had recently been trying to locate Iraqi students using the information.

Curtis declined to elaborate on the incidents.

State law does allow the school to ask the district court to close records if they believe the release would put a student in danger.

However MSCD has developed its own policy, denying access to all directory information records, even when the student had not requested the records be kept private and whether or not there was any perceived threat.

Colorado law requires that public records be made available imrriediately upon request, yp wbea tQ,is tu~nt writer requested to see information concerning another student he

Directory information concerning students at the college will be released without the prior consent of the student as permitted by law unless within ten (10) days after registration a student has notified the Metropolitan State College of Denver Office of Admissions and Records, located in the Central Classroom, room 103, Window 5, that such information should not be released without his or her consent. Directory information at Metropolitan State College of Denver is as follows: a) name, address and phone listing b) date, and place of birth c) major and minor fields of study d) participation in officially recognized activities and sports e) weight and height of members of athletic teams f) dates of attendance g) degrees and awards received h) most recent previous educational agency or institution attended

was told by Alonzo Rodriguez, assistant dean of Admissions and Records, that the school had 45 days to deterrrtine if the records would be released.

After a three-day delay, Rodriguez offered to sell copies of the public records for $5 per page, although state law only allows $1.iS per page. Rodriguez still refused to let the documents be viewed and refused to discuss why the documents were not open.

After consulting with a school lawyer, Christiane Citron, who had peen advising Admissions and Records, Rodriguez

dropped the price to $1.25 per page-although still refusing to allow the documents to viewed. Citron said she would see to it that the personnel in Adrrtissions and Records were instructed that the documents were public record and should be released. Ten days later the clerk at window 103 - Adrrtissions and Records - was still refusing to release the information to another student writer.

The admirtistrators and bureaucrats have all refused repeated requests, verbal and written, for interviews and clarifications. 0

NATIONAL CAMPUS NEWS Prof resigns after student protest in sex harassment case ATLANTA (NSNS) A professor who had been cleared of sexual harassment charges at Emory University Law School was forced to resign on April 1st following the outcry of student protest.

Approximately 300 students boycotted classes and marched on the school administration building on March 19, the day after sexual harassment charges were disrrtissed against Prof Abraham Ordover by a law school faculty committee.

Ordover was accused of kissing, touching and making other sexual advances to 13 female students on the campus against their will. The committee found Ordover guilty

only of inappropriate behavior and issued a formal reprimand to the professor.

The students objected to the dismissal of charges in a campus meeting with Dean Howard 0. Hunter and President James Laney on the 19th.

Two days after the class boycott, march and meeting, Ordover took temporary leave of absence from his position; two weeks later, he resigned.

"There was at least one student with a very serious complaint who was never called before the committee," said Scott Sanders, president of the Student Bar Association and the third ¡year law student who orga-

nized the meeting on the 19th. "And there wasn ' tadequate time to hear the complaints; 20 interviews with students, alumni and faculty were all done in the two days before spring break."

"I cannot teach in chaos," says Ordover, citing a mob atmosphere at the school as his reason for leaving. Ordover denied all charges against him following announcement of his leave. He could not be reached for comment after his resignation.

"We are saddened by the loss of a talented professor," Sanders said. "We didn 't ask for his firing. Rather, we asked for a full hearing of the charges."

Since the initial complaints by the 13 women, several more students and alumni have come forward with charges of sexual harassment against Ordover, bringing the total to approximately 20.

"The women involved in these complaints are strong, intelligent, articulate law students who know they've been sexually harassed," said Jeff Straus, a third year law student who is spokesperson for the complainants. "[No woman student] should be subjected to a professor's advances and mental intimidation in order to obtain an Emory Law School degree."

Syracuse students vigil against drunk driving

..._

SYRACUSE, NY (NSNS) Responding to the widespread problem of alcohol-related car accidents, students at Syracuse Urnversity (SU) staged a candlelight vigil and procession on March 20, in remembrance of people injured or killed in drunk driving incidents.

The students, members of the SU chapter of the national Students Against Drunk Driving organization, held the vigil outside the campus chapel, then marched to the campus student center where they stopped traffic along a main road for a few minutes.

The event was one of several held to markSADDAwarenessWeekattheschool,

â&#x20AC;˘

beginrting March 18.

"We wanted people to know there's a SADD chapter on campus," said Dawn Silvia, l9-year-old commurncations major and president of Syracuse SADD. "We ultimately hope to cut down on alcohol related deaths, injuries and arrests on campus by educating people about the dangers of drunk driving.

SADD chapters are organized at 17,000 highschoolsandon 1,500collegecampuses across the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Adrrtinistration, an American is killed in an alcohol related accident every 27 minutes.

Everyyear,300,000peopleareseriously injured in such accidents.

Claire Bobrycki, alcohol programming assistant at the SU counseling center, is the advisor for SADD. "The students have done a good job of making other students aware of the drunk driving issue," Bobrycki said, "and of showing that they're taking care of their friends."

Bobrycki said that drunk driving is a difficult theme to tackle because of the large amount of drinking that goes on in the nation's campuses.

The students irtitiated SADD two years ago on the SU campus, in response to the alcohol related death of a student at the school. As part ofSADD Awareness Week, the students also staged a mock drunk driving accident on March 19, and organized a speech given by national SADD member Robert Aptaker on the 21st.

"A chapter like ours works all over the country in different high schools and colleges," Silvia said. "We hope that in the future people will decide not to drink and drive-they 'll realize eventually that the 0 two just don't rrtix."

MSCD professor builds toxic-free home to save wife Alex Delgado is on a crusade. It saved his wife's life and now others are clamoring to hop on his bandwagon.

Delgado, professor of human services at Metropolitan State College of Denver, built a toxic-free home for his wife who was suffering from "multiple chemical sensitivities," a severe allergic reaction to toxins found in the environment What took him 55 months of research and two years to ~uild resulted in his wife's recovery.

Now, Delgado said he has more than 850 inquiries, from California to New York, about his plans for a toxic-free community.

The interest is the result of his widespread publicity from recent television and radio appearances, interviews with "Omni," "The Vegetarian Times," and his listing as one of the top 100 in the January/February issue of Hispanic magazine.

"A group of Greek ship owners based out of Zurich (Switzerland) and Greece are putting up the money," he said.

Delgado's house, near Parker, Colo., one of two prototypes completed in 1988, led him to establish Ecological Properties, Inc. in 1987. The company's proposed billiondollar Buena Vida Estates near Colorado Springs will include 8,000 toxic free homes, schools, churches and shopping centers on some 3,000 acres by the year 2010.

A group of students later filed complaints with the Denver Police Department April 13 and then met with Denver City Council member Deborah Ortega at MSCD. Ortega said that she did not think that this incident was part of a trend regarding the mistreatment of minorities by Denver police.

Alfonso Cisneros, who was in charge of public relations for the conference, said that everything that happened worked out well in the end.

North Aurora, Ill., a leader in environmental medicine research.

Some semesters, the soft-spoken Delgado, 56, takes his research into the classroom in a course called "Environmental Illness." The course is designed to teach students about environmental toxic conditions and hazards.

"Medical science looks at single unitary causation," Delgado said. "They treat symptoms instead of causes, and do not take in chemical factors, radiation factors and other effects."

Delgado, who studied medical sociology at the University of Oregon, said he concentrates on illness and the concept of disease including human ecology and human health issues.

His efforts have resulted in a U.S. patent issued April 2 for his method for "reducing immunogenic and/or toxic substances in indoor air." According to the patent, the method is directed at reducing the level of gases generated by certain wood and/or petrochemical-based building materials. It also reduces levels of electromagnetic radiation within a building.

According to the National Academy of Sciences and the Environmental Protection Agency, up to 15 percent of the general population have sensitivities to low levels of certain gases that exude from commonly used construction materials. ''The government has put aside a $50 million pool to try to research methods for doing this, and I've already got a patent on it," Delgado said.

Despite the incident, the more than 400 students who attended the three-day conference stood by the guidelines outlined in the conference agenda.

"Now more than ever, we need all national Chicano student organizations to be strong so that our struggle on the campuses, within the communities and work areas, will be winning battles," the guidelines stated, "We feel that it is important to promote unity and respect for each other."

Campus bar has many missions Chris Ozor The Metropolitan

The Mission. Why do people go?

This campus bar is not meant for the spreading of religious doctrines. It doesn't have political delegates, but the gospel of friendliness is loudly preached.

"I enjoy their music, noise and their pizza," said Sarrah Wanless, a graduate student at CU-D. "It is unfortunate that there is no variety of alcoholic beverages, but I

can understand," she said.

The Mission has indeed become the perfect place for students to relax, meet other students and maybe have a couple of beers.

Some go to study. Some go to socialize.

Bill Hollis, an MSCD sophomore, said he had not gone to a night club in almost two years because his schedule does not permit him to. "I like listening to the music, and the comedians. I do not drink . .. but I do make friends, particularly female friends."

Some of the regular customers said that

employees, particularly bartender Field Majors, treated them nicely.

Amy Montoya, an MSCD student, said the Mission is a good place to relax. "I like the way the Mission is set up. I enjoy talking to friends and making new ones. Moreover, Field Majors is an asset to this place - he knows your name and he cares about you."

But when Majors was asked what makes him the peoples' choice, he said that students "don't come here because of me, it is their mission to come here and relax." 0

God appeared to a peasant and offered to grant the man any wish he wanted. The man statted dreaming of all the wonderful things he could have. God said "oh, there is one stipulation. For everything I give you I will double that for your neighbors." The peasant thought about this for a moment. He reconsidered his wish and said he wished one eye to be gouged out and two of his neighbors killed.

'We can't expect things to happen overnight, Boswell said. The markets need to be stable ...They will also have to make their money convertible to other currencies.'

This abstract type of thinking has been ingrained into the minds of the Soviet citizens and was the subject of a conference April I at Auraria.

"How to do business with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe: The View from

the Rocky Mountain Region" was a conference which examined the hurdles and questions a small businessman might have if attempting to expand to the Soviet Union.

Many European and American companies would like to start opening businesses in the now unsettled Soviet Union. But the way the present system is structured would make this an extremely high-risk venture .

"There are many cultures in the Soviet Union and we tend to stereotype the Russian people, we need to develop a better understanding of the Soviet culture,"according to Metropolitan State College of Denver Professor of Finance and conference panel member, Jerry D. Boswell.

The Soviet Union as a lot to offer small, Western businesses. Their citizens are educated and want to buy what Americans have to sell. "We can't expect things to happen overnight, Boswell said. The markets need to be stable ... They will also have to make their money convertible to other currencies," Finding new methods of success in the Soviet Union will be a continuing effort on the part of both Soviets and Americans.

"The ideal climate to attract foreign businesses would be a reduction in governmental red tape, a reasonable tax structure, a better transportation system to get the goods to the marketplace, no KGB and a clear rejection of communism," Boswell said. 0

Men's basketball

MSCD signs 3 recruits -·

•

Dale Shrull Sports Editor The season for the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's ba¥etball team ended only 34 days ago, but the work for next season has already begun .

Head coach Bob Hull has been on the recruiting trail since the Roadrunners were ousted from the NCAA Division II regional playoffs March 16.

Gone from this year's team are recordsetting guard Adrian Hutt, center Fred Brown and forward Tirq.Moser. Hull said that the replacement process has already begun.

'We try and get kids that want to get their college degree, that's the number one thing.'

Hull announced that MSCD has signed two Denver Prep League players and a junior college transfer for next season. Myron Simms from Montbello High School and Albert Snoddy from Denver. South High School will join the 'Runners from the DPL and John Freeman will arrive via illinois Valley Community College.

"I think they will be able to step in and help us right away," Hull said of the three.

Simms, a 6-foot-3 guard, was named to "The Denver Post" All-State first-team this past season. Hull said Simms is a good student and on the court he's a good athlete and three-point shooter who comes from a good high school program. Playing in the DPL is also a plus Hull said.

Already scoring a 22 on his pre-college ACT exam, Simms won't be a Proposition 48 casualty like two ofMSCD's top recruits last season. Anthrius Carter and Kendale Johnson both enrolled in junior colleges last year after their test scores failed to meet the

required minimum.

Playing at South, Snoddy didn't grab the headlines that some other Denver area players did; however, Hull said be believes the 6foot-3 guard/forward will fit into the 'Runners' future plans. Snoddy led South in both scoring and rebounding last season.

"We think he 's areal sleeper," Hull said.

Freeman hails from the same junior college that produced Hutt. Hull said that he sat out last season and worked in the construction field. After Freeman returned to college, bis former coach at IVCC recommended the 6-foot-6, 235-pound Freeman to Hull.

Hull said he 's pleased with this year's recruitingclasssofar. The 'Runners' success and media attention over the past two seasons has helped MSCD in their recruiting, he added.

Getting the right student-athlete is a priority with Hull. "We try and get kids that want to get their college degree, that's the number one thing."

Two other players MSCD will look to next season are Michael Lewis and Larry Kent.

Lewis will be the likely candidate to take over for Hutt. The 6-foot-l senior, attended Aurora Central High School then went to Eastern Wyoming Junior College where he was a teammate of Moser. Lewis then transferred to Florida International University. He was with the team for th~ fall 1990 semester. Following that semester be transferred to MSCD and he practiced with the team after the first of the year.

Kent, a 6-foot-7 Cherry Creek High School product, missed last season with a bad back. Hull said he hopes Kent has recovered enough to help fill the void left by Brown.

"We're looking to sign two more players," Hull said. The biggest concern for MSCD is finding forwards and centers. "We need to get some inside people."

SPORTS A view from the press box Football club Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Four years ago, a21-year-old man arrived on the Auraria Campus with four helmets, five phone numbers and a goal of being a head football coach.

Campus Recreation of Metropolitan State College of Denver decided to start a club football program in the fall of 1986. By January of 1987, T.J. Cole arrived with his helmets and phone numbers.

"It all began with a lie," Cole said about getting the coaching job. He was playing basketball at a local recreation center when a friend told him he was attended MSCD on a full-ride football scholarship.

"I thought I'd check into it to see if they needed any coaches," Cole said.

What Cole learned was MSCD didn't have a football program. All they had was a few guys who wanted to form a club football team.

Cole built the MSCD team from scratch.

"They really didn't think it would succeed," Cole said with an air of pride.

If they would have been serious about succeeding, they would have hired Glen Hyde, the former Denver Bronco, for the job, Cole said. "He would have brought too much publicity."

Instead they hired Cole. A mistake on MSCD's part, because success was in his

Cole's efforts not to blame for failure blood.

After earning All-State honors as a wide receiver at Denver North High School, Cole went to Colorado Springs and attended Colorado College. During his stay at CC, he utilized his 5-foot-11-inch, 170-pound frame to play football, basketball and run track. He was named the student-athlete player of the . year at CC in 1987.

While at CC he utilized his mind by gaining his bachelor's degree in political science; however he wasn't finished with his academic achieving.

Cole received his master's in internationaJ politics and his law degree while taking the programs simultaneously at the University of Denver.

Since his graduation in June of 1990, he has been working as a public defender, first in Denver and now in Colorado Springs.

While going to DU and taking both course loads, he worked, got married and still found the time effort and desire to start the football club at MSCD. "T.J., as a mission oflove, both football and people, initiated the football club," said Otto Phieff, an English professor at Arapahoe Community College, commissioner of the Colorado Football Conference and Cole's father-in-law.

Following the first season, MSCD was

one of only three teams in the Denver area.

Cole then found the time to play architect. He built the CFC. Not just founded the conference, but truly built it.

He went to Red Rocks Community College and ACC and helped build both of their football clubs from scratch. Thanks to the tireless efforts by Cole, the CFC was formed.

By the way, he put in all the hard work without ever receiving as much as a dime.

The club at MSCD gave area players the opportunity to play.

Not everyone is 250 pounds, runs a 4.5 40, or has a gun hanging from his right shoulder like John Elway.

The former MSCD club gave people around the Denver area the chance to live bit of a dream.

"None of my guys could play at CU," Cole said. But some of the players he coached went onto other schools and intercollegiate programs.

Nine guys, Cole said, have gone onto other schools, such as CSU and Western State.

With the cutting of the club at MSCD, dreams and aspirations are now gone for many wanna-be players. And for Cole, too.

"It really helped me as a coach. I learned my trade and enjoyed it."

His accomplishments are more than ere-

ating several club programs and the CFC; more than a 26-12 career mark; more than never losing in the city of Denver; more than beating an NAIA in Minnesota- 32-0 over St. Paul Bible College; and more than only losing to two college teams in his career Colorado College and the Air Force prep school.

When he joined the coaching ranks he was 21-years-old. "I was probably the youngest coach in college history and maybe the only black head coach in the western U.S. But club football isn't recognized in records."

With the end of football at MSCD, Cole wants to find another coaching job.

"I'm highly considering getting a Ph-D in coaching," he said. For now he will continue teaching political science at Red Rocks and MSCD and people in the Colorado Springs area as a public defender. ''They said it couldn't be done," Cole said about MSCD. I guess he was right.

But it wasn't T.J. Cole or the football club that didn't get the job done. They succeeded.

It was MSCD's paranoia. It was MSCD that has shattered the dream of a few men in the Denver area who just want to play football.

Sweet dreams, MSCD.

Sacked football program ends tour-Yea r'fegacy Dale Shrull Sports Editor

When the month of August is winding down, the smell of freshly cut grass will fill the hot summer air, and the thoughts of football-loving people of all ages will tum to the all-American game.

When August of 1991 rolls around, some young men's thoughts at Metropolitan State College of Denver may tum to football, but there won't be any action on the field.

With the April 10 decision to drop the football club at MSCD, the four-year-old program came to an end.

Anne McKelvey, associate director of Campus Recreation, informed former football club president Lee Adkins that the decision was made after meeting with represen-

tatives of MSCD. She said that MSCD's legal council, MSCD President Thomas Brewer, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Karen Thorpe, Director of Campus Recreation Dick Feuerborn, and Outdoor Adventure/Club Sport Coordinator Tim Jorgenson were all consulted before the decision was reached.

McKelvey told Adkins that she represented the club during the discussions concerning the fate of the team.

"I really respect Anne McKelvey but I think we should have been g iven the opportunity to represent ourselves," Adkins said.

Feuerborn said that a great deal of thought and discussion went into the decision.

Both McKelvey and Feuerborn cited insurance liability as the number one concern about the club.

fortable in smaller cities such as Grand Junction, Gunnison and Alamosa. Numerous players gave up scholarships in the past and returned to Denver to play for MSCD, he said.

Both McKelvey and Feuerborn said they would work with the team and try and find them a new home.

Adkins and Cole said that they could see no way for the to team survive away from MSCD. Cole has already announced that he won't be back with the team if a new home is found. Adkins, who is graduating with a degree in History this spring, has taken the head coaching position with the Red Rocks Community College football club.

"Basically the leadership is gone or going," Adkins said.

With the strongest program in the CFC now gone, Pfieff said he isn't optimistic about the future of other programs in the conference.

Arlene Kushel, from Red Rocks Student Activities, said that the school has some serious concerns about the football club.

She said that Red Rocks is continuing discussions about the liability concerns facing the school.

Nancy Stevenson, from ACC Student Activities, said that as of April 16, everything was status quo and going forward for the fall season with the ACC football club.

Adkins, who played all four seasons with the MSCD team, is disappointed with how

Anne McKelvey his college career will end at the school.

"I had a lot of great memories up until last Wednesday (April 10)," Adkins said. "I thought as seniors we'd left a legacy."

From Adkins' perspective, everyone supported the program but the administration. "(MSCD administration) weren't serious about us, but we were serious," Adkins said.

"They looked down their noses at us."

One memory that epitomized the administration's attitude toward the football club for Adkins was the "wet field policy."

If the Auraria Field was wet, the game was to be cancelled to prevent the turf from being damaged. Adkins said that one wet field day an official from MSCD came down and cancelled the game, saying "'This isn't CU." For Adkins and everyone else who every played for MSCD, it wasn't CU, but it's as close as they would ever get.

My husband and I are near newlyweds ( 1 l /2 years), have both been married before, and each have 2 children. He struggles w ith accepting my children (ages 12 and 9) and even struggles with accepting his own (ages 17 and 14). I have always been very close and offectionate with my children; him not so much with his.

He's constantly crjtjcjzjnQ me for always 'nursing' my children and I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over.

How do I cope and help him to understand our ways are different?

At first glance there appear to be several situations presented here, such as having a relatively new marriage, having to figure out how to form a new family and what appears to be different ways of parenting your children. I also wonder how 'safe' it feels for each of you to be different - might there be lots of messages that certain behaviors are unacceptable?

Your sense of feeling criticized certainly suggests this possibility.

You report that you are constantly being criticized for what your husband calls 'nursing' your children. Have the two of you discussed your own families of origin and the values that each of you learned for how to show affection? Or, again for how much affeqtion was appropriate and how much was too much?

While your letter doesn't go into a lot of detail, your sense of frustration is apparent. This frustration appears to stem In large measure from feeling that who you are and how you are as a parent is not OK. Although Ican't be certain. I wonder if this feeling is one that your husband may also have. Perhaps he too feels inadequate or somehow not OK because he isn't as openly affectionate as you are.

Maybe a first step Is to consider these possibilities w ith the goal of talking about how you are different and yet working towards mutually valuing your uniqueness.

Thanks for writing and let us know how things work out.
