Senate ratifies V. P. over protest Thomas Mestnik approved for position despite questions over selection process
A breezy blast!

Students beared the wind Wednesday, Nov. 6. What started out as a nice day quickly turned for the worse as temperatures dropped and rain blew Into Auraria.
The MSCD student senate on Nov. 6 approved the appointment of Tom Mestnik as vice president despite doubts voiced about the process that led to his selection. Student Government President Chip Wiman appointed Mestnik, president of the Democratic Socialists ofAmericaatMSCD, on Oct. 31. Wiman, also a member of the DSA, is being criticized fo_r the procedure used in making the appointment. Two members of the judicial board asked the senate to delay its vote on the appointment after concerns were raised by student Sen. Lucian LeMa.k, who contends the selection process was unfair. Wiman 's selection committee, composed of three cabinet members, two senators and one student justice, dwindled to four when the justice and one senator were unable to attend all of the candidate interviews. "I believe it is a conflict of interest when three of the four members of the committee are members of the executive branch appointed by Mr. Wiman, and all are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America in some way," said Matt Taylor, a member of the student judicial board. "If proper procedure was bypassed, Mr. Wiman ' s credibility and the credibility of student government may be questioned." Auraria's student government constitution empowers the president to appoint a vice president. Wiman instead chose a committee to evaluate candidates to replace Anthony Vander Horst, who quit Sept. 24. "You get the best candidate when you use affirmative action," Wiman said.
According to LeMak and other student government members, a cross section of student government was not represented on the selection committee. "If an interviewing selection process is going to be done, a cross section of the student government should be represented," said MSCD Sen. Michael Eldridge. However , Wiman said members of the committee were chosen before the applicants were known. "I think LeMa.k is appalled that there might be a Mestnik socialist as a vice president," Wiman said. Taylor said the outcome of the process may have been different if six committee members were present, rather than the four who made the final decision. "We needed a vice president, and I think the most qualified candidate got the job," Wiman said. But Taylor said there were no "pressing" issues that demanded an immediate appointment of a vice president. "If everything was OK, then what's the problem with holding off the vote another two weeks to find someone to fill two empty committee seats?" Taylor said. Charles Buchanan, the student senator on the selection committee, said it was a mistake for Wiman to form a committee rather than simply make an appointment. "But this is a non-issue," Buchanan said. "Wiman is under fire for a procedure that he didn't even have to follow." 0
UCO student government to attempt Tivoli takeover Sharon Dunn News Editor UCD's student government decided Nov. 5 to take a $25 million venture to a student referendum - the first stage in acquiring the Tivoli and becoming a private corporation.

"' The Metropolitan attempted to contact Brewer on three occasions about last year's student government, but he declined to comment each time. On the first attempt last month, Brewer's secretary, Yvonne Flood, said: "President Brewer has nothing to say about Dan Holden. Call UCD and ask them." After a third attempt, Flood said Brewer "did not have enough information to be able to comment." 0
Sobering survey spurs iJrant
Food for thought: Wiman, senate eye more free eats
Chris Caylor Antoinette Vecchio
Diana Cordova The Metropolitan
Riki Doherty After learning the results of a shocking student survey last year, MSCD has received a $122,283 grant for a drug and alcohol prevention program. The 1990 survey of 200 MSCD students showed that only 10 percent had not used alcohol or drugs in .the two weeks prior to the survey. According to Don Sugar, program coordinator, the survey conducted by the MSCD Counseling Center's staff was pan of a grant proposal to stan a drug and alcohol awareness program. ''There is a need for the program because the 1990 survey found that 42 percent of the students surveyed used alcohol at least once a week, with 30 percent having consumed over five drinks at one time," Sugar said. However, the grant received mixed reviews from some MSCD students. "Most college students seem to enjoy alcohol and few of them have problems with recreational drug use," said Matt Bassano, an MSCD freshman. MSCD student Sheryl Napp said, "I've noticed that students talk more about going and partying then school work." Because of the stereotype that college
The Metropolitan
Pholo Ub'abon by l.alr1 G,.T...,./The ~
students are heavy drinken\ Sugar said, a problem could arise if the students fall into that stereotype. "The problem with that is that if people get into heavy drinking it's very easy for it to become an addictive pattern," Sugar said. MSCD student King Baby said in response to the survey's finding that 30 percent of students have five drinks in one seating, "Students are just partying and that's not a problem." MSCD senior Nancy Swanz said, "Social drinking leads to more of a problem." She said that she has not noticed a problem with drinking on campus, but has noticed a problem with marijuana use. see Prevention page 4
A once-a-semester food allocation of $150 is being proposed to allow MSCD student government members to move their mouths in more ways than one in order to promote "friends and family." "I am trying to build a team spirit and do some bonding so that we become friends and a family," said Chip Wiman, MSCD's student government president and also the sponsor of the bill. The allocation would provide catering for a small event after one of the student senate meetings at least once a semester, in addition to the $4 food card senators would receive for attending bimonthly meetings. "I could have approved the money myself," Wiman said. "There is a discretionary fund that can be used if I determine that there is a need. I don't want to do it that way, though, because it sets me up to look like an autocrat, and that's not my style." The proposal would require a student senate sponsor in order to be considered. "They (student senators) may be unwilling to put their names on something that may appear to some as lavish speRding by student government," Wiman said. "I still see Food page 4
Funding realignment saves ticket booth Janie Y. Tinnon The Metropolitan
State budget cuts are still chopping their way through the Auraria Campus with the Auraria ticket booth, which distributes discounted bus passes and tickets to students, next in line. The Auraria Executives Council, which consists of the the Auraria Higher Education Center and the three Auraria schools, is
under the knife to execute the 3 percent budget cut demands imposed by Gov. Roy Romer. Their decision to cut funding for the ticket booth was made to relieve the general fund budget crunch. The booth is a convenient service for students and faculty because RTD bus passes, ski lift tickets, and tickets to campus and local events can be purchased there. A total of $300,000 in sales annually is see Booth page 4

According to Sugar, the drug and alcohol awareness will be accomplished through brochures, the use of campus television, seminars and student newspapers. "The idea of the program is that it will be doing a lot of prevention awareness," Sugar
said. "We're going to be trying to reach out to student body as well as the faculty and staff." The grant will completely fund the program the first year and partially fund it the second. By the third year the program is expected to be self-supporting.

said. "I don't want them to go around and frivolously spend money, but money is there to spend." Wiman is trying to get approval in time to hold the gathering after the Nov. 13 student senate meeting.

Senate meeting schedule not meeting needs L
J. Featherstone The Metropolitan
Despite efforts to encourage participation, the MSCD student senate is having a difficult time getting much-needed work finished during regular senate meetings due to attendance problems. A $2,400 plan to entice student senators to attend senate meetings bi-monthly was recently approved by the student government, but is apparently not working. Senate Action Bill 9107 provides for a$4 food-card allowance for senators who attend the meetings. However, Student Sen. James Norris said that he doesn't think a $4 food 'ticket will encourage senators to attend meetings. Although Chip Wiman, MSCD's student government president, recently said he feels that attendance is not a big problem for the senate, at the Oct. 23 senate meeting he said he was "urined off' because a large number of senators were not regularly attending the meetings. Wiman encouraged the senate to "do something about it" and appoint morecommitted members. Lack of initiative could be one source of the group's attendance problems, but other issues factor in. Investigation has revealed that the current meeting time at 3:30 p.m. every other Wednesday affects four senators - including Norris. Consideration will be given
Llura Gragg.Toma/ The Metropolitan
MSCD student government met en masse Nov. 6 to ratify the new vice president. The meeting was the first this semester at which a quorum was maintained throughout. to changing the scheduled time at the next senate meeting. Bylaws state that attendance at senate meetings is mandatory and failure to attend could lead to impeachment. If a senator is absent three times consecutively, or four times a semester, that senator could be impeached. The bylaws also state that if a senator is absent due to class schedule or work, leaving student government deprived of representation, the absence could also lead to impeachment. "There are approximately 200 courses that meet between 3 and 5 p.m.," Norris said. "Half of those only have one section meeting."
Norris sent a memo to senate members claiming that student government bylaws are contradictory on the issue of attendance and asked that each senator submit a schedule of availability. Meanwhile, the number of senators is dwindling. Norris argued that the senate has general problems getting through agenda items each meeting because the body often loses quorum before the end of the meeting. Quorum is defined as one half of the seated members plus one. The student senate is allowed a maximum of 25 members, but currently has 19 active members. Norris said that too often, senators leave the meetings before all of the issues on the
agenda are considered, leaving issues that cannot be voted on. "Emergency meetings have to be called, taking up more time of our senators because the agenda items have not been voted on during the regular meetings," Norris said. The senate held an emergency meeting Oct. 31 to finish business left when the senate lost quorum at the Oct. 23 meeting. The senate met on a Thursday at 4 p.m., keeping quorum until the end. " It knocked me on my can that we made quorum," said Lucian LeMak, an MSCD senator. LeMak suggested that changing the meeting times to Thursdays would be better for the senators. Even though the issue of changing the meeting times is being scrutinized, doing it this late in the semester would be in violation of the body' s constitution. The constitution states that if the meeting time must be changed, it would have to be on the first meeting of the semester. "Rules are only as good as they don't impede the function of the senate," Norris said. "There are a number of senators who haven't shown up with any regularity, and we've assumed they resigned." Three student senators have been considered formally resigned as a result of senate bylaws' attendance policy. "We have people accepting verbal resignations, which is inappropriate," Norris said. "We should impeach or consider that those people are still senators, but never assume that they' ve resigned." 0

Letter from the President Students and Student Government must be considered more than just an advising body to the MSCD administration . By working together students' views can be reflected in campus policies. Student Government's mission for the year is twofold. First, the cost of an education must not limit accessibility. Second, accessibility must not be limited by an enrollment cap. Education is a right and availability must embrace basic human diversities. Chip Wiman MSCD Student Government President

"This thing 's being ramrodded down students' throats," said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president. "How much time and thought has really gone into this?" All Auraria students support the Student· Union with a $22 bond fee - a fee that wouldn't disappear for UCD students if their student government becomes incorporated and acquires the Tivoli.
'It just doesn't make any sense.' - JoAnn Soker, AHEC UCO Student Government President Roxanne Nice could not be reached to give details of the proposal. UCD Events Board Director Dan Holden-alongtime supporter of incorporating student government - refused to speak with The Metropolitan and said the UCD student government would provide no information to th·e newspaper. Michael Newlon, a UCO student and a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said that if the students approved a fee increase, they would ultimately lose out. "I am vehemently against it," Newlon said. 'The reason for the incorporation is for students to have more control over their fees. I don't want to entrust my money to a group of student politicians." JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration for AHEC and a lawyer, said shecan'tirnagine UCD student govern-
working on this a long time." If the negotiations between AHEC and Hahn fell through, Soker said, Hahn would "be free to deal with anyone else." "As a real estate matter, what can they (UCO student government) bring to the table in terms of money?" Soker asked. Besides student approval, UCO would have to overcome some hurdles before an actual "acquisition" of the Tivoli, including securing a loan and issuing bonds, and getting approval from the CU Board of Regents for a fee increase. However, one of the regents has been reported as expressing ~arly
opposition. Also opposed to a fee increase are some UCO students. In addition, they fear creating more distance between UCD and CCO orMSCD. "I don't think a CU student could afford an extra $35 a semester," said Melissa Collins, 37. "The campus is supposed to be a conglomerate," said Keith Rossi, 20. "How can it be a union if one school owns it?" "I'd be curious to see what the benefits would be," said Tim Scofield, 26. "And I 0 would like a guarantee."

Soker said that with the exception of some glitches in negotiations, AHEC's financing.to acquire the Tivoli is ready to go, and questioned whether UCD student government could wade through the painstaking process of such a real estate deal. "If you really worked hard, and you had the expertise, you could probably get it done in six months," Soker said. "We have been

Jacque Wiiiiams Staff Writer If you are on a mission to recover some knowledge that may have escaped you over the years, check out Operation A+. A pilot program at MSCD, Operation A+, is giving flight to students who have had troubles in English and math. "I've been out of school for 11 years, and I'm having difficulties in English 101 at this time," said Rebecca Rosales, one MSCD student that attended the first Operation A+ workshop in Central Classroom 109 on Monday, Nov. 4 . "I figured that by coming to this workshop, it would be more on a one-to-one basis," said Rosales, a criminal justice major. The concept of Operation A+ was initially born from a need to help students in the Special Services Support Program (SSSP), a program funded s.Elliott Fey / The Melropoitwl by the feder- Moton ally-sponsored Title IV initiative, geared to assist first generation freshmen and sophomore college students. After discovering that the SSSP students were not the only students having trouble in the college preparatory math and English classes, the Operation A+ program was extended to all students on campus. "The dropout rate for those classes is phenomenal," said Lavonne Moton, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs in charge of the Academic Assessment and Support Center at MSCD. Moton said that instructors of Math 104Beginning Algebra, a transfer class taught at Community College of Denver, Math 111College Algebra, and English 101-Freshman Composition courses, known as remedial or preparatory classes, told her that they lose nearly 30 to 40 percent of their classes

each semester. These students, she said, are lost prior to final grades and usually right after midterm exams, due to students who just don't understand math calculations or English writing. Moton said that her office also received information from MSCD Institutional Research that stated 15 to 20 percent of the students that complete those classes fail. "That's high!" Moton said. "Sq we decided to see if we could do something to get those students to stay in those classes and persist to the end. We want to see what we can 90 to actually decrease the anxiety of taking those courses. It's not anything the instructors are doing to cause this-it's just the courses themselves," she said. Moton hopes the Operation A+ program will help students who have questions they are reluctant to bring up in class or reluctant to ask their instructors after class. "We are using real-life instructors... who are already working to do this, on their extra time," Moton said. She added that they have three instructors - two part-time MSCD teachers and a recent MSCD graduate who is teaching at a local high school - to conduct the workshops. They are compensated for their time, Moton said, but at a nominal salary. Vickie D' Andrea-Penna, a volunteer teacher for the Operation A+ English workshop and a part-time instructor at MSCD, has been teaching English 101 on campus and said she knows students need additional help that they can't get in a classroom. ''Sometimes teachers can provide (extra help) and sometimes teachers can't," D' Andrea-Penna said. "So, I'm basically here to help give people support :__ people of varying problems or skill level - it doesn't really matter. That diversity is what makes Metro a really interesting place to be." Moton hopes more students become aware of the program and attend forthe final six weeks of class. Scheduling for the Operation A+ workshops is on a walk-in basis, at CN 109: Math 104, Monday and Wednesday, 4 to 5 p.m.; Math 111, Monday and Wednesday, 5 to 6 p.m.; English I 01, Monday, 2 to 4 p.m. Call 556-4327 for more information. 0

EDITORIAL
LETTERS There are still battles to be fought POLICY Lawrence Jones Editor
This past week I watched the movie "The Long Walk Home." It tells the story of the bus boycott by blacks in Montgomery, Ala. , in 1955. It was a touching movie about fiercely proud people who fought for their rights and dignity. After the movie, I made the thoughtless comment that it was too bad that there were no more battles like that to be fought. Fortunately, my wife -corrected me. There are battles to be fought. Every winter people die because they don't have someplace to go to escape the bitter cold. Elderly people suffer from not having enough money to pay for
heating bills or medical treatment. Drugs are sold on elementary school playgrounds across the country. Runaways are drafted into prostitution and child pornography. Mental patients are cast out into the streets because state funds can no longer support them. Children are killed for their clothes, either because someone else wants them or just doesn't like the color. People are still killed just because another doesn't like THEIR color. The list is endless. During the '60s and '70s college students fought to better their world. Injustice seemed rampant throughout the country and they wanted to do something about it. Now it is our turn. Editorials are usually an attempt to try and evaluate the happenings in the world and are rarely personal. This time it is different. I make a personal plea to you all. Pick a fight. Pick a cause, any cause, and work to make that part of the world better. If nothing else, just try to make one person's day better and you will help. It is needed.
LETTERS Hunger and Homeless Week a time for students to help Editor, The next time you are walking to class in this freezing weather, try to imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have that class to go to. As you are thinking of how cold and uncomfortable you are spending a few minutes outside, imagine how it wold feel to have to spend all of your time like that with no place to go. Think about how it might feel to line up outside a shelter at night and pray that they had a bed for you. These are all ·unsettling thoughts. It is frightening and overwhelming to think about the people who are homeless. There are no simple solutions, and students have a great deal to worry about as it is. However, Hunger and Homelessness Week is coming up November 18 - 22, and there will be a variety of simple things students can do to help.
You can bring in an inexpensive package of underwear any time during this week. CoPIRG will have tables set up in the student union. The SHARE committee will also be collecting personal items such as razors and toothbrushes. They will have bins set up in various classrooms. You qm stop by the shantytown CoPIRG will have set up outside by the flagpole and sponsor the people who will be spending the night in the town in order to raise money for local shelters. You can also donate to SHARE's soup line. There are many easy ways for students to make a difference.

ART REVIEW Children~s
art show ·w ill warm the hearts of adults
Mike Hall The Metropolitan
It was like a dream. The theme from Charlie Brown danced merrily through the air, voices bustled with a festive excitement, and the spirit of children welled up in the hearts of all. A dream come true? Perhaps. The more than 100 invitees who gathered at the MSCD Center for the Visual Arts on Nov. 2 were among Dream-Makers - children whose art drew guests of the exhibit's opening reception into their world of creativity, spontaneity, innocence and love. The center's walls were adorned witb 80 pieces of heartwarming artwork created from the uninhibited imaginations of kindergartners to sixth-graders. But not all the art in the Binney and Smith Crayola Dream-Makers exhibit was born from pure inspiration. "I think my teacher asked me to do it," said Michael Nicholas, a 7-year-old student at the Universitx Center for Gifted Children in Denver. Though his teacher may have chosen the subject of his work - a duck among water lilies and tadpoles in a pondand though he's gripped by shyness, Michael leaves no doubt as to the self-confidence reflected in his work. "I am also talented at piano," he said politely.
FEED
Logan Shaw, a fifth-grader from Fort Worth, Texas, also received inspirational guidance from his art teacher. "My art teacher set up the plants, pot and bone, and we were to draw them from different angles," be said of his finely detailed work crafted in pencil. Plaques accompanying the works identify the artists and .a statement of the dream that gave rise to their art. Logan 's dream? "My dream i:s to draw things like they are in life." "What's fun is shaping it and putting it the way it looks," Logan said. "It takes a long time to draw these things. It took me like a week to draw that one." Logan and Michael's art, along with that of the other artists, will become property of the Crayola Company's corporate offices in Pennsylvania in the spring of 1992, when the tour of the exhibit will be completed. Some of the pieces.will be hung there, while others will grace the walls of the company's facilities in England, Australia, Germany and France. The Crayola Company gave the MSCD Center for Visual Arts a $4,500 grant, which it used for framing and matting the works, said Susan Josepher, an MSCD art education professor and chair of the art department. Josepher was instrumental in coordinating the exhibit, and she emceed the reception. "The art is honest, spontaneous, heartfelt, true - and it speaks to what kids care

about," Josepher said. "They can't do any better than that. They're artists." Indeed they are. "It's fun because you can use a lot of color and think of a lot of things to make," said 8-year-old Gina Maker of Colorado Springs about being an artist. She used pastels in depicting a bed of flowers. " I like to draw things that are outside butterflies and pretty things," she said.
'My dream is to draw things like ·they are in life.' Logan Shaw, fifth grader "A lot of kids say they like my art, but they don't like theirs. But I think they're all pretty." Andrea Donnelly, 9, also of Colorado Springs, chose a wizard as the subject of her painting - not a wizard she imagined, but one that dangles from a necklace of hers.
MIND
"I drew this because I thought, when I was in second grade, I thought I could be a heart surgeon, an artist and to make new medicines to make people better," said Andrea, who has big brown baby-dolleye . "I want to make them to cure sicknesses that are not able to be cured yet. "A girl in-f'Ourth grade has cystic. fibrosis," she said. "She told everybody how many pills sije has to talce - it's like 14. I really want a cure for that." Andrea' <Ireamstatement: "My dream is my imaginatfon of a wizard mixing potions in his laboratory." Andrea'~ painting and the works of the other artists will be on display in the Center through November. Her wizard will continue his quest for the. potion that wil'l cure her fourth-grade friend. But in creating art that lifts spirits and warms hearts, Andrea and her fellow artists already have the right chemistry. 0

MUSIC REVIEW Erasure electronic nightmare, Innocence Mission a dream Jenny Jenny Music Writer
Dear Counselor, I have recently completed an inpatient program for a drinking problem that I've had for about 14 years. I have had my sobriety for 6 months now and am doing well. My problem stems from my wife who still is drinking. This makes me vety uncomfortable and angty. I keep most of my anger inside now because I don't know how else to handle the situtation. I love her and don't want to leave but it seems we're growing farther apart. We've attended Al-Anon but it didn't seem to help. What can I do or what can she do to address this problem?
Angry and Confused Dear Angry and Confused, Icommend you on your successful efforts to address your drinking problem. This is a difficult behavior to chanQe and even more difficult to maintain the improvement. You identify your present problems as your wife's continued drinking behavior and your inability to express your anger in an appropriate manner. Both of these behaviors are symptoms of faulty, strained, or nonexistent communication within your relationship. Without effective communication and problem solving, negotiation of differences cannot be accomplished. The underlying issues are never given the opportunity to surface for acknowledgment or discussion yet they continue to adversely effect the relationship.
Did Sire Records sign R2-D2 and C3PO? No, but they may as well have Erasure's most recent effort, Chorus, is nothing more than an overproduced, electronic hour of monotonous computerized "music." Anybody with a record company to pick up the tab, and a lot of time on their hands for experimenting, would be able to create the same sounds. Chorus might be more palatable if it featured a strong vocalist, but Andy Bell's menacing, irritant of a voice does nothing to save the day. The first single, "Chorus,"is strikingly familiar to the Eurythmics' " Here Comes Erasure The Rain Again." Because it's the first track on the CD, the backing sounds aren't dull just yet. It takes about a minute for an intelligent listener to get bored with it. After that, the CD is all downhill. The songs on Chorus resemble music only on a few rare instances. "Love To Hate You" has a dark, mysterious tone with a
WhY they never run out of dark meat down at ShelleY S Deli.
I recommend couple's counseling as a possible avenue for addressing these problems. Your individual treatment has prompted personal changes in your life and this has effected your relationship by changing the rules of how you and your wife interact with each other. Dealing with stress, expectations of each other, roles and purpose within the relationship, all have been impacted. It is essential to communicate about these areas to develop and inc;aase the care, concern, companionship, and support for each other. Without effective communication, it is likely that irritability, boredom, and hostility will increase instead. Your anger is a prime example. Through the process of couple's . counseling, you will also learn effective methods of anger management. Anger is a normal component in every relationship. Other people in our lives do and will do things that make us angry and we need to acknowledge and express that feeling appropriately. Harboring anger only results in generating frustration and more anger. Eventually, we end up expressing it in ways we often regret. In summary, couple's counseling can strengthen your communication base so that you and your wife can work together on any issues, develop awareness and understanding to promote intimacy, encourage mutual respect to facilitate negotiation in disagreement,and to define the framework of your relationship so that each of you can fulfill your needs and responsibilities as a couple. For information regarding couple's counseling, contact the MSCD Counseling Center at 556-3132, or stop by at CN Room 203. This column is written by the Metro Connections students and staff at the MSCD Counseling Center. Send letters to MSCD Counseling Center, CN 203, Campus BoI 005. Adve rtise m e nt
strong beat and keyboards that almost sputter out a real melody. Bell's intonation, however, is completely uninspired and takes away from what could have been a mediocre song. What Erasure has put together is a sales demonstration for electronic keyboards and drum kits. They wasted their studio time doing tricks with their synthesizers and never really got around to making music. This is like Milli VanilJi backwards -the music isn' t real, but the vocals The Innocence Mission is appearing at are.

MOVIE REVIEW . Petty insolence does not wear well on 'Curly Sue' Dianne Fujiwara-Haynes The Metropolitan
--
I should know better than to let my kids pick a movie. I should know better than to believe the hyped-up newspaper ads promising that I will i'love Curly Sue," and that Curly Sue will "steal my heart." I should have known better. I not only didn't "love" Curly Sue, I thought she was an obnoxious little girl. About five minutes into the movie, even her quasi-father, Bill (James Belushi), tells her to "put a cork in it." I crossed my fingers and could only hope. Curly Sue (Alisan Porter) has the looks of a Botticelli angel - big brown eyes, rosy cheeks and long auburn ringlets. But her looks, like everything else about Curly Sue, are deceiving. She's a practiced con artist who can deal herself four aces in a poker game, or call up a smile or a tear on demand. Bill and Curly Sue scam their way from city to city, ripping off people as they go. They're homeless, and that's supposed to make it OK. He tells her: " We don't steal." Curly Sue responds: "But we lie." They lie so much that when the characters want our sympathy, we' re afraid we' re being scammed.
c.
After Bill is hit by Grey Ellison's Mercedes Benz, Ellison (Kelly Lynch) puts the two up in her posh apartment so Bill can recuperate. Bill moans with pain until Ellison leaves the room. Once the door is closed, he pulls out the sports section of the newspaper from under the covers. He has a big grin on his face, but no one in the audience as much as snickered. Even my 10-year-old knows when he's being manipulated. John Hughes, the writer and director of "Curly Sue," doesn't give us anyone to love or even like in this movie. Everyone is caricatured - homeless people are lazy, dirty thieves, Ellison is a hard-hearted bitch lawyer who turns into a blonde jellyfish

and Curly Sue are "out on the street," it's snowing. Everytime Curly Sue gets near a plate of food, she crams it in her face. There's even a parody of"My Fair Lady." Bill and Curly Sue get expensive new duds, purchased with a plastic card and the approval of Ellison and her female secretary, and go back to the snobby restaurant they got thrown out of in the beginning of the movie. Bill not only reminds the maitre d' of his rude behavior the last time they were there, but hits the maitre d' in the face until he cowers. This is funny? After this scene, Curly Sue finally says something that rings true. She tells Bill, "I'm ashamed of us." 0

Events Center when she set two school single match records with 35 kills and 84 attack attempts. Despite this, Stright doesn't place records and individual honors that high on her list of priorities. "No, it's not that important," she said of her ventures into the record books. "If you play well and it comes, that's great. It's like a reward for your hard work. "But you don't do stuff like that alone," she said, giving more credit to her setter, Jennifer Drees, than herself. "Jen is a great setter. The setter does all the work and we (hitters) get all the glory." Stright also cites her teammates and the unity they share as pivotal contributors to her play. "We're all buddies," she said. "It's nice not to have tension between the teammates ." Despite her high level of play. it is probably her trademark headband that distinguishes her most from the other players on the court. Though she never wears the same one twice in a row, Stright assured that the bands are not worn in the name of fashion. "It keeps my hair out of my eyes. It drives me crazy when I don't wear it." Stright is studying for a Land Use degree, but right now volleyball and the prospects of playing in the NCAA Regional Tournament are foremost on her mind. "I think they're really good," she said of the Roadrunners chances of making the regionals. "A lot of people have seen us play and we have shown a lot of potential." Records, recognition, glory and the NCAA Tournament are all good reasons to play, but Stright plays for another reason. "I play because I love it." And MSCD loves how she plays. 0
Sports Briefs Volleyball team looks for regional bid: The 20th-ranked MSCD women' s volleyball team turned in a great performance at the Air Force Premier Tournament Nov. 1-3, finishing seventh out of 25 teams and almost assuring itself of a bid to the NCAA playoffs. With 18 of the top 20 Division II teams in action, the tournament provided the Roadrunners with a setting to prove they were among the nation's elite, and they took advantage of the opportunity. . They defeated No. 9 University of Northern Michigan twice, thrashing them :in three games in the second meeting. MSCD also crushed regional foe University of Northern Colorado in three' games, strengthening their position within the region. The squad's three losses came to the No. 7, 6 and 3 teams :in the country, with theloss to 3rd-ranked North Dakota State University coming in five tough games. The strong showing against the best teams in the nation, a defeat of a regional competitor, and a second-place finish by Colorado Athletic Conference member Regis University moved the 'Runners to No. 13 in the poles and should lock-up a regional bid.

Money makes the dunks go 'round Will Hinton Sports Editor

Money talks, even in Latvia. With its newfound independence from the Soviet Union and the ruble not being worth what it used to be (which was absolutely nothing), the Latvian National Basketball Team showed it has already grasped the intricacies of the capitalist system. The Latvians, who were supposed to have played our MSCD Roadrunners on Nov. 4 at the Events Center, flew the coop and hooped it up at the University of Louisville (Ky.) instead. • Why? M-0-N-E-Y. Plain and simple, Latvia took the money andran ...and dribbled and shot. How much? No ex.act figure could be confirmed by the folks at the Louisville Athletic Department, but you can bet it was thousands more than they received for playing here. Louisville's arena seats 18,000 and sells out anytime a ball, hoop and the beloved Cardinals are involved, so it is safe to say that Latvia's percentage of the gate would have been substantial. It seems that when the Cuban National Team boned on the Cardinals, the Latvian team followed suit and left the Rockies for the greener bluegrass pastures of Kentucky. Makes sense, right? Why play with the Lilliputians when you can play with the heavyweights. And for more dinero to boot. If the price is right and the players are big enough, who cares about commitments and

honor? In just a few short months since they bid adieu to Gorby and the boys over in Red Square, the Latvians have shown that independence breeds capitalism in all its glory in Eastern Europe. They have learned that giving your word and keeping it means nothing where the almighty dollar is concerned. They discovered that the little guy is expendable if it rr(eans a short-term partnership with big business. Hey, I guess I really have nothing to be upset about. This is what the White House wanted in Eastern Europe. Latvians are now more interested in wallet-sized portraits of our dead presidents and shmoozing with bigwigs than in helping out the little guys. Money talks and NCAA Division II basketball walks. This is what the fall of the Iron Curtain was all about. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on our new comrades. They did take pity on us and rescheduled the game for Nov. 7. Never mind all the hard work the basketball pro-
gram and athletic department put into hyping the game. It's OK that no one knew about this historic game because there was no time to promote the new date. They came back and we should be proud to have had them, even three days late. Put in the same situation, many in our society and in the NCAA would have done the same, but that doesn't mean it doesn't stink. And it sure doesn' t make what Latvia did right.
