Three of the four referendum questions on the ballot during MSCD's elections March 31 through April 2 were soundly defeated, while a fourth passed by an equally wide margin. The results of all the referendum questions are nonbinding. The referendum concerning the tution-by-the-credithour plan was defeated 1472-181. or by over 89 percent of the voters. Bruce Williams. MSCD Budget Office director, said the lopsided vote wouldn't affect the administration's plans to put its tuition-by-the-credit-hour proposal before the college trustees on April I0. "Our proposal attempts to level the playing field between full- and part-time students," Williams said. He said the referendum results may have reflected the fact that more full-time students voted on the issue than part-time students. Chip Wiman, student government president, said the tuition restructuring was another issue that wouldn't go away. He said there were lots of unanswered questions, such as how it will affect the art and music departments, and whether it was fiscally responsible. see Referendums page 10

Mestnik, Garcia win-top student posts Martin Rush Staff Writer

Tom Mestnik and Monica Garcia will head MSCD 's next student government as president and vice president after winning a landslide victory in the election March 31 to April 2. The Mestnik-Garcia ticket defeated Matt Taylor and Marcus Dunn I 072-464, garnering nearly 70 percent of the votes. "We won on the issues," Mestnik said of his victory. "We took strong stands in opposition to community service requirements, tuition-by-the-credit-hour and discrimination." Mestnik currently is MSCD student gov-

ernment vice president. He said he and running mate Garcia reached out to students during the campaign and addressed as many as 70 classes. "Students know us," Mestnik said. "They saw how active we were. They know this student government, and they want the same for the future." Taylor partially agreed with Mestnik's assessment. "The differ;ence was we didn't campaign in the classrooms," Taylor said. "It was a bad strategy for us." Taylor said both campaign platforms were similar and there weren't major policy differences between the two tickets. The difference, he said, was Mestnik's experience in student government and the visibility that gave him.

"The students' voice was heard," Taylor said. "I'm looking forward to working with Tom and Monica in the future," Looking to the future, Mestnik said he would lead an activist student government. He said he would work to increase the number of students involved in government and work with the Colorado Student Association to lobby for more higher education funding. He also said he will reacti out to local communities, emphasizing recruiting and retaining minorities at MSCD. In other election results: Six students on the ballot for 25 student Senate seats were elected with more than 400 votes each. They were: Michael Wempen, James Norris, Denise Rodriguez, James C. Flowers Jr., Matt Beck and Joshua

BRIEFS Task force looks at discrimination

A task force investigating allegations of discrimination by MSCD President Thomas Brewer will release its initial report in two to three weeks, according to Antonio Esquibel, vice president for student affairs and the group's co-chairman. The task force was created by Brewer following a heated confrontation March 6, where representatives from eight Hispanic community organizations accused Brewer of discriminating against minority applicants for administrative, faculty and staff positions. The group is researching reported violations of state fiscal rules in recent hirings, retention and graduation rates among Hispanics and Hispanic influence on campus. "We expect in two to three weeks we will have a preliminary report on issues that don't have to be investigated any further," Esquibel said during a telephone interview. Esquibel said Brewer asked him to serve as sole chairman for the council, but conceded to allowing Pierre Jimenez of Hispanics of Colorado to serve as cochairman. The task force will have closed meetings, but people interested in giving input to the investigation can send letters to Antonio Esquibel at 906 Ter- · race Center, Campus Box 94.

Brewer withdraws tuition proposal MSCD President Thomas Brewer has withdrawn his proposal for community service as a requirement for graduation. In a March 31 letter to F acuity Senate President Liz Friot, Brewer asked the Senate to withdraw consideration of his proposal from their agenda. "I have decided that the opposition to this requirement is so great that its implementation would be ill-advised," Brewer said. - Martin Rush

NEWS MSCD tuition still bargain for students Don Mitchell The Metropolitan

Economically, MSCD is among schools with the lowest tuition in Colorado. However, with the tuition-by-the-credit-hour proposal and recent decision from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, MSCD's reputation as a bargain may be in jeopardy. The proposal to charge students by-thecredit-hour would eliminate the current window between 11 and 17 hours that charges students the same amount of money, thus giving students taking 17 credits six free hours of courses. The new model, which was defeated by the student body April 2, would maintain a window between 13 and 18 hours but would charge students $20 more for each hour taken. The proposal will be considered by MSCD's Finance Committee in May and a suggestion will be made to the board. The final decision will be made in June. The other factor threatening MSCD's bargain reputation is the CCHE money allocation decision. It is estimated MSCD will receive $50,000 more that last year. However, that is not enough to compete with inflation. "Even if there were a 0 percent inflation rate, there are other factors to consider ...such as the ever-growing student body," said Bruce Williams, MSCD budget director. The CCHE predicts Colorado schools' tuitions will increase by 5 to 10 percent. "Higher education is getting almost no money increases ...since the state is not providing enough money, the colleges must get it from tuition," Williams said.

"Metro's tuition is among the lowest, if not the lowest in the state," he said. However, he cannot say how the projected tuition increase will affect the economic status of the school. Further, Williams said he is not sure what the increase will be.

"Every institution is different... they have different budget requests. It's fair to say Metro's tuition will increase, but I don't know how much." Williams said MSCD's governing board will make a decision within the next two to four weeks. 0

Candidates protest election results Martin Rush Staff Writer The results of the MSCD student government elections have been contested by one of the losing candidates and could be declared invalid. Marcus Dunn filed a protest with the MSCD Election Commission April 3, alleging several irregularities. Dunn was an unsuccessful candidate for vice president. Dunn and his presidential running mate, Matt Taylor, lost the election to Tom Mestnik and Monica Garcia in a 1072-476 vote . Dunn claimed the setup was confusing because numbers corresponding to each candidate's name did not correspond with the numbers appearing on the official ballot. "It is my opinion, as well as other students involved in the voting process, that many votes were cast for the wrong candidate," Dunn said in his letter. Dunn alleged other violations of election commission rules as well, citing the use of state equipment and materials by current student government officials for personal campaigning during the election. "It is my opinion that this rule was violated by the use of Chip Wiman, Barb Farell and Tom Mestnik as they campaigned for a particular candidate while employed with

Metropolitan student fees," Dunn said. Dunn also alleged there was documented evidence of ballot box stuffing. Mesinik denied all the allegations, saying they were motivated by paranoia. He denied using state equipment inappropriately or campaigning on student government time. He puts in 30 to 40 hours of work a week on student government affairs, much more than required, Matt Taylor and Marcus Dunn he said. In response to the ballot box stuffing charge, Mestnik said some Student Activities, said the election compeople pity Dunn. " Marcus has such great mission will hold a hearing April 13 to ideas - and such a little mind," Mestnik investigate Dunn's charges. If they find irregularities occurred, the said. Mestnik said if there was confusion about commission will try to determine to what how the candidates' names corresponded on extent they influenced the outcome of the the official ballot, it worked in Dunn's favor. election, Porter said.

The next goal for the program is to refine the placement of containers. "We are trying to make sure that the locations are convenient...and we're working on signs above the containers," she said. Further, receptacles have been used as door stops, which is not their function. "Maybe the signs will prevent that in the future," MacConaghie said. There are three buildings on campus that will be targeted for the new containers. The library, the Central Classroom and the Arts Building are generating more recyclable items than were anticipated. "People feel more inclined to sort their trash ... we had no idea how much people would be interested," she said. MacConaghie said she hopes the program will expand. "Glass is the next possible commodity to be recycled at Auraria... and we would like to move the white paper to the hallways in the future." With regard to plastic, MacConaghie said she would like to see it eliminated from use at Auraria. "Plastic is really hard to recycle. It must be washed and sorted by number," she said. People can help reduce waste by purchasing items that have been made from recycled goods. MacConaghie said it is important to complete the arrow cycle "It's the 0 socially conscious thing to do."

The 1990s have been predicted to be a decade in which people will be environmentally conscious, and that awareness is at work on the Auraria Campus. The recycling program, which began Jan. l, has generated more interest than was anticipated. "We had no idea how much people would be interested ...and we're seeing a need to add more containers," said Maggie MacConaghie, business manager at facilities management.

CAMPUS CRIME Woman reports exhibitionist A 22-year-old student told Auraria Public Safety officers March 26 a man exposed himself to her near the Science Building. The woman said she was walking south when she noticed a man standing nearby. "How would you like to play with me?" the man asked. She said the man had his pants unzipped and was fondling himself. The man followed her a short distance before she ran away, she said.

A security guard at the Tivoli told officers he was making his rounds when he heard the explosion. Inspecting the area, he found that the bomb had detonated inside a trash can near the southwest entrance. "The bomb was a crude, homemade device that was inserted in a glass bottle," said Jim Ferguson, APS spokesman. "Making an explosive device is a felony. We will prosecute anyone who is caught with one in their possession."

Reach out and ignore someone Exploding trash can A homemade bomb exploded April l in a trash can at the Tivoli, destroying two ceiling tiles and causing about $50 damage.

Staff Writer

An MSCD graduating senior announced April 6 she is seeking a Democratic nomination to the Colorado House of Representatives. Helen Williams, 51, said she hopes to represent a seat in east Denver being vacated by Rep. Jerry Kopel. She defined her political platform as fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Child care, problems that affect the elderly, historic preservation and education are the chief issue she plans to address, she said. "As a student on a very tight budget, I used my savings to get my degree," she said. "What I would like to see is more state aid to students." Williams called the tuition increases "a very tough tax situation." "I certainly don't have the answer," she said. However, Williams did have her answer to abortion issues. "I am adamantly pro-choice," she said. "Neither you nor I have the right to interfere with what has to be the most painful decision in a woman's life. "You and I make the policies that affect us," she told a group of 12 people in West Classroom Room 162. "Politics affects everything we do." Williams, who is financing her campaign through individual and group contributions, said she plans to spend no more than $4,000

Student Health Center tests 33 for AIDS virus Pete Lewis The Metropolitan

The Student Health Center has tested more than 33 students for the HIV since it began offering the test Feb. 14. "So far, we're pleased with the way the program is going," said Linda Valente, a nurse practitioner at the center. "But as the word gets out and more students become aware that we offer the service, I wouldn't be surprised to see the number go up." When a student works up the nerve to be tested, Valente said, it is important that he or she be seen that day. "Students coming in for the test are a priority," Valente said. "We always have a counselor and a lab tech on duty. As a walkin, there may be a wait, but no one will be told to come back another day." Valente said she hasn' t seen a trend in the age or sex of students being tested. "I'm impressed by the fact that both men and women want to take responsibility for their safety, and for the safety of their partners and their children," Valente said. "I have seen very little IV drug use among

patients at this clinic," Valente said. "Most are at risk from unprotected sex. They don't know their partner's history or the history of the partners of their partner. "The risk factors for HIV are very specific. Students are beginning to realize that if they are comfortable enough to be intimate with someone, they need to be comfortable enough to ask." Some students have tested positive for HIV, Valente said. After getting a positive test result, the student sees a physician and counselor. The physician exams the patient and explains the medical implications of the disease. The counselor evaluates the patient's emotional state and explains the various support groups and services available. "Testing is about taking control of your future," said Billi Mavromatis, a health educator at the center. " Without being tested , a student has to wait to find out about his or her future. Students are more aware that unprotected sex means they are not in control." AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, develops as a result of exposure to the human immunodeficiency virus. At this time, there is no cure for the disease. 0

Look closely - there are already some changes at the Tivoli. The atrium is more lit up and the lights in the space once occupied by Oink' s are turned on. "We want to make it clear that we are open for business," Andy Chitwood said. Chitwood, Tivoli-Denver general manager, is responsible for overseeing the building's transition into a student center. "We want to get the word out to the students to come over and use the building," Chitwood said. Tables and chairs are set up on the third floor near the food court and Chitwood hopes students will use them as a lounge and study area. He is also talking with art departments on campus about exhibiting student work in the building. When AHEC took over the Tivoli, Chitwood said one of his first objectives was to meet with tenants, find out their needs and concerns, and set their minds at ease. "Remember," Chitwood said, "this is their livelihood." Chitwood said the transition is now in its first stage: a space-planning study conducted by the architectural firm Urban Design. Before the end of this semester, Chitwood said Urban Design will meet with student

Chitwood said that AHEC will need to collect about $1,000,000 a year from rent to operate the building. There has already been an increase in the number of businesses interested in leasing space at the Tivoli, but Chitwood said he currently is only considering one-year leases. "We want to respect the space planning study," Chitwood said. "Until it is completed, we can't commit any space to a longterm lease." Chitwood said that he would like to see a good mix of commercial tenants who serve student needs, such as a bank, travel agency, hair salon and record store. "No one is interested in turning this place into seven bars and a cloud of dust," Chitwood said. 0

Prehistoric predators invade Auraria family night Sheryl Knapp The Metropolitan Dinosaurs roamed, a hairy caveman wandered around grunting and handing out balloons while a volcano erupted in the Student Union April 3. A flashback to Bedrock? Not exactly. This year, Auraria 's annual Family Night had a prehistoric theme and a successful turnout. Balloons, streamers and triceratops covered the walls as pterodactyls circled above the crowd. Hundreds of students and

their families participated in games, rides and contests. "I ~ink it's better this year." said Diane Pazuchanics, an MSCD junior. But her eldest son, Michael, was disappointed there wasn't a three-legged race like last year. The evening included activities to amuse all ages. On the second floor, a band played as the children had their faces painted or their pictures taken as dinosaurs. Also, children were able to visit Safety Village to practice the rules of the road on battery-powered mini motorcycles. Those who followed the traffic signs correctly received a certificate from the American Automobile Association. Throughout the evening, daring contestants earned prized in games such as Tarzan yelling, bone throwing and prehistoric goo snorfling (an ugly gelatin eating contest). Two of the most successful things to do were the Kiddie Kastle, an inflatable jungle gym, and the fishing game where the children received instant prizes. The only complaint mumbled by most was the long lines. Children also stood in a long line for balloon animals, which were created by a clown. Puppet shows and Pat Mahoney, a singer and story teller, entertained the children in the game room. Mahoney sang songs about bouncing bunnies and shy Banshees. He had the children bouncing, wiggling and singing along.

Rolling egg races were just some of the activities to keep young and old busy at this year's Auraria Family Night. At bottom left, one little girl enjoys jumping in the Kiddie Kastle. The staff at the Auraria Child Care Center volunteered their time and patience. The staff of the cafeteria also volunteered as well as many other individuals. All-you-can:eat specials of spaghetti and chicken chow mein were offered for a low price. But popcorn and Pepsi were free. If the children got a little restless and wanted to run around loose, maybe even

draw on the walls, there were two rooms for that: the Flintstones' Cave Drawings and Rock Quarry,which had plastic jungle gyms and paper covering the walls. By 8 p.m., some of the games, like bone throwing, ran out of supplies and some of the younger children ran out of patience. People started to leave about 8:30 p.rn. with tired toddlers and weary expressions. 0

:! DEAR COUNSELOR, ·;> I briefly dated someone I met on campus and am l now in a very peculiar situation. This guy l

believes that we have a serious and exclusive .::. relationship, which is not the case. I never i intended to develop anything serious with him, or l anyone else for that matter, nor did I give any \. indication of this. We went out several times and h had lots of fun. He started to call and come by ~l often. He began to interrogate me about J everything, wanting to know every detail and ;; motive. He started to insist that he drive when I had errands, that he join me when I visited \ friends and that he go along to keep me company when I went to study at the ribrary. He .'1 started to tell me how I should run my life in all ~i areas. Within a few weeks, I felt completely l smothered and couldn't stand him. This is when I ':l told him that I didn't want to see him anymore 1 but he won't listen or accept it. He continues to call me and I keep telling him } that I don't want to talk to him or see him J anymore. He knows my class schedule so he hangs around my classrooms to make sure we 6 run into each other and get a chance to talk. '.' Again, I tell him it's over. I have been rude and :l mean to him and he still doesn't get it. He tells me that since I cared about him before ;' that I still must care about him. He tells me that < we'll get back together, that I am under a lot of { stress with school and just need a little time and I, space right now. He adds that he knows what I { am going through and he'll continue to be there 1,: for me. He talks about all the fun and good times -' we have had and says that there will be many ·; more to come. He doesn"t seem to understand · that I don't want a relationship with him. ,;' I am getting very irritated with all of this. I don't ::' go out much because of this situation. When I ;i do, I feel as ii I have to watch for him all the time at school, around the house, and at the grocery T store just to try to avoid contact with him. I've i::l avoided all of our mutual friends to make sure I don't run into him and to avoid even hearing :; about him. I feel as if I have become a different ij person and having to act so cold, mean, and ~ - cruel makes me feel bad about myself. I'm not afraid of him because there has never been any f ; physical violence or threats but I do feel that this whole situation is really weird and has gotten out l of control. How can I get through to him that it"s ; over?

The first referendum question on the ballot concerned adding a community service requirement for graduation - 200 hours had been suggested. It was defeated 1518-142, or by over 91 percent of those voting. "We knew this proposal was dead," said Wiman. "But we wanted to get the student voice on record for next year because this issue will continue to come up."

MSCD President Thomas Brewer withdrew the proposal for the community service requirement in a letter to the Faculty Senate March 31, the first day of the elections. Referendum question three asked whether military and religious clubs that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation should be allowed to access student fees or services. Seventy-nine percent of those voting said they should not, defeating the proposition by a 1314 -346 margin.

Wiman said that in the wake of the vote he'd like to see the administration enforce a strict no-discrimination policy. Percy Morehouse, MSCD director of Equal Opportunity, had no comment on the vote beyond saying the vote "demonstrates the students' beliefs." Referendum question four asked whether MSCD should join the Colorado Student Association, a statewide lobbying group. It passed 1326-330, the only referendum question to do so. The margin was 80 to 20 percent. 0

Head Coach Helman accuses sports editor of missing the facts in Larson story Editor, Last week's article by Will Hinton, regarding the missing co-head baseball coach was a terrible injustice to one of the most unselfish, giving and valuable part-time employees working for Metropolitan State College of Denver. The article pictured Coach Larson to be someone who was not dedicated and failing to earn his pay. This article totally ignored many facts, and the facts are: 1. Eric Larson has been a part-time baseball coach for 13 years at MSCD (eight as assistant coach three as assis-

tant head coach and two as co-head coach). The title changes were granted to acknowledge his increasing importance to the program and did not result in significant pay increases. When you consider all of the hours that Eric Larson puts into the program in and out of season, his pay rate would equal an anemic hourly rate well below the minimum wage. Coach Larson coaches because he loves what he is doing. He is one of the rare and valuable people who gives back far more than he ever takes. 2. The article makes it sound like

Coach Larson is missing and neglecting his assigned duties, which is totally untrue. Eric Larson is a full-time elementary school teacher, so his time restrictions are fully understood and agreed upon. As a result of his time schedule, he is in charge of scouting, recruiting, scheduling, clinic organization and other administrative duties. His on-the-field duties are limited due to his full-time job requirements; and this was known by coaches and players in advance. Actually, Coach Larson has freed me to devote my time and energy to on-thefield coaching, by handling the burden-

some tasks already mentioned. When he is on the field, Coach Larson is an excellent tactician and teacher of baseball skills. If anything, there should be an article thanking Eric Larson for his years of dedication to MSCD. He is a graduate of MSCD, a most valued employee, and one of the nicest human beings I have ever known. And, by the way, he was just selected by the Denver Public School System as (one of) the "Denver Teachers of the Year. "

Student questions motives of gay student applying for religious club membership Editor, I was puzzled as I read the article by Martin Rush in the March 27 issue titled "Student grievance alleges discrimination by religious group." My comments and questions are directed to Jeff Davidson, acting president of Auraria Gay and Lesbian Alliance. I am sure, Mr. Davidson, you recognize that religious groups and individuals form clubs for primarily two rea-

sons: First, to promote that belief system of their faith. Second, to enable those of that faith to enjoy fellowship with one another. What then was your motive in attempting to become a member of Menorah Ministries? Was it to show the members of Menorah Ministries how it is possible to be both an advocate of homosexual behavior (ie. sex outside of marriage) while simultaneously holding, as Christian teaching has for 2,000 years,

that marriage is the only proper place for sexual acts? Perhaps you desired to change that belief system of Menorah Ministries to suit your own? Such an attempt would disrupt their fellowship at a minimum. Were you to succeed, Menorah Ministries would cease to exist except in name. Neither explanation is satisfactory. I presume you are sane: You must either believe that sex outside of marriage is

permissible or it is not. I don't believe your desire was to destroy Menorah Ministries. There is an alternative reason: You never sincerely intended to join Menorah Ministries. Rather, you were seeking a pretext for filing a grievance in the hopes of promoting your group's particular socio-sexual agenda. It appears you have accomplished a portion of your goal.

Brewer's tuition plan reduces quality of education The proposal by MSCD President Thomas Brewer to change the current tuition method to tuition-by-thecredit-hour would do a lot of damage to the quality and quantity of education the majority of students are receiving at this institution.

this to happen under his le~adership? ... "' "' · I think it is myopic of Brewer to say the current tuition method is "unfair" to part-time students. Would it be fair to the majority of full-time students who are the backbone of this institution if they are denied the opportunity to prepare themselves for the challenge ahead? Doesn't Brewer know that no graduate school would offer admission to a student who was not

develoied intellect~ally? woU'1ci 'lt ~e fai~ ~fsrk;er tot irl deny the majority of these students the opportunity to develop themselves? Doesn't Brewer know that there is a big difference between the full-time student and the part-time student? Most of the part-timers, if not all, have full-time jobs. Besides, most of them are well-secured in their jobs. More so, some of them are here to advance in their career or to change careers. Shall we compare those students to the students who will be entering the labor market for the first time? I think Brewer knows that no employer would like to hire someone who does not meet the employer's standard. And in order to get into graduate school, one's credentials would be thoroughly scrutinized. Brewer, is it fair to deny these students the opportunity to prepare themselves before they venture out?

Tuition by the credit hour will affect the course load the students are taking and thereby impact their intellectual and academic horizon. Would Brewer allow this to happen under his leadership? Furthermore, what I think Brewer should address himself to is how the students would get a wellrounded education and not a half-baked education. Doesn't it bother Brewer that a student would ask after four years in college, "Do you have cars in Nigeria?" A student asked me that question after his second year at MSCD. I do not know how Brewer will take it when a professor in this college does not know that the official language in Nigeria is English. I thought this professor was joking when she said," I thoaght I would need someone to interpret the exam paper for me." You already know what would happen if the tuition-bycredit-hour materializes. Brewer, the ball is in your court. Would you like to be remembered as a president who introduced the tuition-by-credithour method and thereby lowered the quality of education at MSCD? I hope not.

LETTERS Traditional moral values should be love, acceptance Editor, Over the past few weeks, I have read many letters supporting the right of religious clubs to exclude people on the basis of their sexual orientation. Somehow, I managed to keep quiet. However, last week you published a letter that I felt compelled to respond to. In this letter the two authors, Kathy Houghton and Jo Kadlecek, brought some classical religious myths to life. The first image they invoked is the most classic of them all. You all know this one by heart: It's the one where religion is the "white knight" in shining armor charging into battle against the evil liberal hordes who wish to corrupt and destroy everything. Religious groups, they contend, aren't discriminating against anybody; they are trying to "return to moral values." Call it what you want, but a rose by any other name is still a rose. And here's a chilling thought - why stop with homosexuals? It wasn't that long ago since sexism and racism were ''traditional" moral values. There are some people who would love to return to these traditional values and have women back in the home

with no cliance for a life, and slavery or genocide for non-Europeans. Another image that they use is that of heathen society contaminating everything it touches. They cite the examples of condom machines in the bathrooms and the campus bar as just two examples. I'm sorry if you're offended by these things, but there is a difference between these examples and the case of the clubs. Nobody is forcing you to use the machines or to go to the bar. If you don't agree with them, don't use them. There is no such distinction with the clubs. My student fees get used by these clubs, whether I want them to or not. And personally, I think there are worse things than condom vending machines. The saddest thing is the image they left out. All through the letter they went on and on about ''traditional" Christian values, but they skipped one of the most traditional - "Love your neighbor as yourself." This value is central to all the others, yet where is it? In all of the letters I have read, I have yet to find it. Yes, let's try to use Christian values: starting with that one first! Jerry Kliner, president of Lutheran Students at Auraria

MSCD student angry at letter against children in class Editor, What is wrong with Christopher Raichart (Met Letters, 4/3)? I'll tell you! What is wrong in our society that affects our colleges is what is called the white, middle-class male. They have established the rules that trap women, children and minorities into positions that make it very hard to get an education. Without that education these good people will be stuck in poverty that will be passed on to their children and their grandchildren. You may be upset with children in the classroom, but I am happy as hell to see these women doing whatever they have to do to get their educations. You say you understand that irresponsible wives and husbands occasionally have car trouble. How

about hard-working, proud wives and husbands who do not have cars? People are getting laid off, drugs and crimes plague our neighborhoods, children are being born into this world with AIDS and the homeless population is increasing by the thousands with 25 percent of them being families with children sleeping in the streets and under pridges. Yep, Christopher. The old Ivory Tower, that's what I see in yourfuture. It's too bad because it's people like you that see what is going on around you and are not afraid to speak up - these are the people who can make a difference jn our self-destructing world. The only problem here is you can only see what's happening to you. Gail Miller, MSCD student

Mestnik wronged during campaign, owed apology Editor,

--·

During the week of student government elections a flier appeared on campus accusing presidential candidate Tom Mestnik of improperly using $3,000 in student fees to support his personal political agenda. The flier offered no evidence whatsoever to support the accusation. There was no indication who had produced or distributed it.

I offer a challenge to the anonymous author: If you have any integrity, you will identify yourself and offer some solid evidence to support this serious accusation. If Mestnik is indeed a crook, we all want to know. If you have no more proof of misconduct than that offered in your flier, you owe Mestnik a public apology for your outrageous statements.

Charles Everitt, MSCD student

Student offers suggestions to fight state budget cuts Editor, Now that the elections are over, attention must be given to the major issue facing the college: How do we spend the dollars the state has doled out? And how do we make sure that MSCD continues to get its fair share? In regard to the latter, students should petition their legislators and insist on seeing something like a table that would outline the number of positions cut (if any) and the dollar amounts cut from each state college and university. In regard to budget cuts, I would like to mention four areas that are sort of a spring break consensus derived with the help of conversations with other students from around the country. Course loads could be limited to 15 credit hours a semester. This seems reasonable. Any less would mean that students might need an extra year to graduate. Off-campus branches could be closed. I took an off-campus course last year and it was very convenient, but it is an area that could be looked at. Summer school could be dropped. I have taken summer courses the last few years, and they help by enabling a student to get through a difficult course by

taking just one in the summer. Some upper division courses which have a small enrollment could be offered just once a year, instead of every semester. This would also give the faculty more time to counsel and work with first- and second-year students. One area I would not touch is tenured faculty. I have taken courses in math and Spanish and the ql!ality of the faculty simply could not be any better. We get a bargain because they want to live in the Denver area. Higher education is expensive. The tuition at some private colleges is several times higher than the tuition charged at MSCD. Yet the costs to public and private schools (such as maintenance, new construction, utilities, office salaries and costs) are practically the same. Obviously our taxes make up the difference between the tuition charges. I hope the newly elected officers will work to bring MSCDthrough the coming financial challenges united. I want to see the students, the faculty and the administration working together closely - as they have in the past. MSCD has always been a happy, dynamic place. Let's keep it that way.

I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1;19111;.. 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE METROPOLITAN

April 10, 1992

MSCD students featured in bilingual Su Teatro play Patricia Straub The Metropolitan The relationship between a mentallydisabled man, the earth and its values comes to life in the new, bilingual play Bernabe, presented by the Chicano theater group, El Centro Su Teatro. Starring in this powerful, myth-like play is MSCD student Rodolfo Bustos y Valdez and MSCD Assistant Dean of Student Life Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen. Bustos, a sophomore speech communications major, portrays the lead role of Bernabe, an unemployed, "loco" farm worker who marries the earth. Ericksen is

Bernabe' s elderly mother who is constantly shouting "Bernabe!" in a haggered voice and bossing him around. Bustos also is the managing producer for El Centro, and considers the group a way of life. Since El Centro Su Teatro's birth over 20 years ago, it has grown into one of the most recognized theater groups in the region. El Centro Su Teatro moved into the vacant Elyria Elementary School on High Street in 1988 after submitting a proposal to the City of Denver for its occupation and renovation. Recently, El Centro Su Teatro has been awarded a $200,000 community develop-

ment grant from the City of Denver, but only if the group can raise an initial amount of $12,000 themselves. The deadline for raising the money was April I, but El Centro Su Teatrohas sought an extension until June I. Ericksen has been involved on and off with El Centro Su Teatro for about IO years. Lately Ericksen has involved herself with more directing and assisted director Anthony Garcia in directing Bernabe. Ericksen has also been involved for the past two to three years in the Latina Lab, a special women' s component of El Centro Su Teatro. The Latina Lab's purpose is to develop women, regardless of race, as performers, writers, directors and technical crew members for the performing arts. "Basically what we want to see are women's issues out in front," Ericksen said. " ...reflective as what we as women want to say." The Latina Lab was on the Auraria Campus in March as part of women's history month, and this summer the Latina Lab will present a series of seminars, open to all women, on the topics of directing, acting and movement, playwriting, and stagecraft. Bustos said the future for El Centro Su Teatro is a 5-year plan towards a diversification of the arts. "It's a necessary part of growth and we 're at a point where we need to

branch out and not stagnate ourselves," Bustos said. The center will focus on all arts - visual, music, dance, and performance. Bernabe runs through April 18 at El Centro Su Teatro at 4724 High St. Tickets are $7. For more information or reservations call 296-0219. 0

THE METROPOLITAN

Bruce Springsteen disappoints with new CDs Jenny Jenny Music Editor It was 1984 and Bruce Springsteen was ridin' high - Mr. Blue Collar, spoke for a generation, malcing sure that they would never forget that yuppies weren 't the only repulsive thing to emerge from the '80s. And that's when his limelight was quickly swept under the mat, leaving him to ponder for way too long. Eight years and one journey through a quickly cru~bling Tunnel of Love later, the Boss emerges, only to find his resignation papers typed and ready to go. For the past five years, Springsteen worked hard to summon up the least bit of fire, but found only candlelight for two (Patti Scialfa). It's a sad story, but it happens all the time: big-time rock star indulges in the good life and suddenly the venomous, rough edges that put him at the top are polished and waxed. Take for example Pony Boy, the last track on Human Touch, one of two disks released simultaneously by Springsteen. Pony Boy?

What the hell kind of name is that? Granted, Springsteen does resemble a horse, but you'd think he'd at least have hope that his kids wouldn't follow suit. "Pony boy pony boy/ Won' tyoubemyponyboy/Giddy-upgiddyup giddy-up whoa my pony boy." Well, at least he hasn't lost his knack for songwriting.

The song is listless and dies a sloppy death under Springsteen's twangy country slur. Human Touch is the disk Bruce set out to create five years ago and it's a solid CD. But it's also monotonous. Every song is about love and every song is midtempo or less. On some tracks it works: Soul Driver is a soothing, pleasant track and Man's Job brings a Tom Petty-like guitar to lift us from the muck. But most of the CD has the energy of a threetoed sloth, which everybody knows is the ideal housepet, but does nothing for music. With Every Wish features Dick-and-Jane phrases sung completely out of his nose. More of a concept for a variety show than a sentimental love ditty. The second disk, Lucky Town, is Bruce's response to what he heard upon emerging from his cozy little love-stricken studio.

Supposedly it's targeted more toward Top 40, but maybe he done missed it. The disk starts off slow, talcing on the same concept as Human Touch . The lifeless, droning vocals and withering mix on If I Should Fall Behind would make Neil Diamond a raging thrasher by comparison. Overall, Lucky Town is a stronger disk, combining remembrances of the formerly driven Springsteen who captured the country long ago with his faded Levi's and American ideals. Now he looks more like Foo Manchu with his funk-man beard and beret. Too bad that didn 't transfer to his music 0 - it could use a little funk.

If you're still waiting for your spring fever to kick in, WAKE UP, you threetoed sloth (my new favorite thing}. The Pan Jumbies can help you with their ethereal steel drums and calypso grooves. You can catch them, and some summer spirits, at the Mission from 11 :30 oust in time for that earlymoming brew) to 1:30 p.m April 10.

Irish films give America pot of gold experiences Hero Montilla

Movie Critic In 1990, Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar for his performance as Christy Brown in My Left Foot. In 1991, Irish actor Richard Harris was nominated for best actor by the Academy for his performance in The Field. Both of these films were directed by Irishman Jim Sheridan and shot entirely on location in Ireland. These successes forthe Irish film industry only begin to demonstrate what Irish filmmakers are really made of. Neil Jordan, Irish writer turned filmmaker, made several commendable films during the l980sincludingAngel,MonaLisa and more recently, the comedy We're No Angels, starring Sean Penn and Robert De Niro. Director Ron Howard has just completed filming Far and Away, an epic tale about historic Ireland starring Tom Cruise and

Nicole Kidman. Kevin Costner has also talked about shooting a film in Ireland. Ofcourse, Ireland has experienced this type of international investment before - John Ford filmed in Ireland several times, the most well-known of these films being The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. On April 15, University of Colorado at Denver Events will present The Commitments, a film which has endeared a cult-like following since its premiere. The film was directed by British-born Alan Parker, who also made Pink Floyd the Wall (1981), Fame (1979) andBirdy (1984). The Commitments was shot on location in Dublin and many of the cast were native Dubliners. The Commitments is the story of a group of talented young musicians brought together by manager Jimmie Rabbitte, whose dream is to establish an Irish "soul" band in an effort to escape from the working-class

He also helped develop the creative writing department and coordinates METROFEST, a writing contest for MSCD students. Pugel is working on· a book about the Donna Yaklich murder trial in Pueblo. He was born there, so he feels close to the case. "I find it interesting because I knew so many people involved," he said. Yaklich was arrested on charges of conspiracy in the murder of her husband, Dennis, a prominent political figure and police chief. "I know the who, what, when and how (of the case)," he said. "What I want to know is why and to try and make some sense of what happened and sound some moral warning to readers." ~,,,, Pugel has taught courses like Introduction to Creative Writing, Writing for the Markets and Poetry for Presentation.

These videotapes are available at the Media Center in the Auraria Library. Pugel and his wife, Elky, have been married for 18 years. She teaches at Cheltenham Elementary School. They own a ranch in Pueblo - "the center of the Universe," according to Pugel. They have horses on their ranch, but don't do much riding. He is an avid reader and enjoys runnning. The Pugels also study Yoga together. Pugel's philosophy of life is something students always remember from Pugel's classes: "We hope we have entertained you and inspired you to read poetry, write poetry 0 and maybe even to live poetry."

Coach calls charges unfair, misleading

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

NCAA tourney memories plentiful Will Hinton Sports Editor

........

WithDuke's 7l-51 thrashingofthe"Fab Five" and their Michagan teammates in the NCAA finals, the final curtain has come down on the greatest event in sports. Every year, after three weeks and 63 games, collegiate hoops fans are always left with indelible memories that they will not likely forget: Here are some of my more vivid memories from the 1992 NCAA tournament: The unwarranted charges of racism. Why, oh why, must people make issues where there are none? Bobby Knight's brandishing of a bull whip was done as a joke. A tasteless joke, but a joke nonetheless. Yes, he playfully whipped Calbert Cheaney during practice, but there were absolutely no racial undertones, only poor judgment. A quote from Cheaney, a black player and literally the butt of Knight's prank, in Sports Illustrated proved what a non-issue it was. Said Cheaney: "It was no big deal. Ifl didn't think it was right, I wouldn't have done it." End of story. Then there is the Christian Laettner foot-stomping ordeal. He got what he deserved for stepping on Kentucky's Aminu Timberlake - a technical. The incident was not surprising considering Laettner's well-deserved reputation of being less than a gentleman on the court, but a suspension

was not warranted. The racism issue came about because Rod Sellers, a black player at Connecticut, was suspended after a run-in with Laettner in last year's tournament. There is no comparison. Laettner tapped Timberlake's stomach, but Sellers drove Laettner' s head into the floor with his elbow. The NCAA made the correct decision. Racism is a societal ill in this country, but the tournament is not the proper forum for its discussion, especially with such invalid charges as these. Chris Jent' s Hulk Hogan impersonation. The look of disbelief on Ohio State forward Jent's face after he was assessed a technical foul for headbutting Michigan's Juwon Howard was one for the archives. He hit Howard right in front of the ref and then acted as though he was shocked at the call. Hey Chris, maybe you can get away with that stuff in the WWF, but not on the court. Duke vs. Kentucky. This was undoubtedly one of, if not the, greatest games in NCAA history. From the first tick of the clock until the final buzzer, it was pure electricity. There was the mono-a-mono battle between KU's Jamal Mashburn and Laettner. Mashburn hit for 28 points before fouling out, and Laettner gave the most perfectindividualeffortever(IO-for-lOfrom the field, 10-for-10 from the line for 31 points). Then there were the fireworks at the end. Sean Woods' circus shot to put KU up by one with 2.1 seconds remaining, and Laettner's ensuing catch of a fullcourt pass and buzzer beater for the win was a finish that will never be topped. James Forrest's miracle 3-pointer. Before the KU-Duke dramatics, I thought Forrest's magic would be this year's most fantastic fmish. However, just as memo-

'·

rable as Forrest's 3-point toss with .8 seconds remaining against Southern Cal was commentator Al McGuire' s eternal bellowing of"HOLY MACKEREL!" after the ball fell through the hoop. When I turned the television on afew hours laterl swear Big Al was still babbling about that religious fish. The CBS split screen. In an attempt to show two games at once, the boneheads at CBS succeeded in showing me nothing more than little dots running around on a screen. A screen that was the perfect size for watching a game until CBS screwed it up. I might as well have been watching the games from atop the Himalayas, as small as the players on my screen were. I wonder if the guy who thought up this little ditty is the same genius who decided to bombard us with those annoying fireside chats with Pat O'Brien and Tim McCarver during the Olympics? Jon Barry' s heroics. Though his team lost to Memphis State, Barry's hustle and clutch shooting almost put Georgia Tech in the elite eight. At one point these stats flashed on the screen: Jon Barry - 28 points, nine floor bums. A bloody nose and bruised ribs couldn' t keep the Tech guard from putting on the most heroic display in the tourney. Every one of Chris Webber's in-yourface, trash-talking dunks. Michigan's super frosh abused the rims, and those he dunked on, like no other player in the tournament as he led the Wolverines to the final game. All those Sinbad Reebok commercials. Watching the Sultan of Silly promote the Black Top shoe during every single commercial break swelled my Denverite heart with pride. A local cager finally made it big in the NCAA tourney. The comedian played college ball at the University of Denver before he was a shoe salesman. 0

Mike Sallier The Metropolitan MSCD Co-Head Baseball Coach Eric Larson was, to say. the least, dismayed when he saw Met Sports Editor Will Hinton' s column last week questioning his position and commitment to the team. ''The article really went to my heart," Larson said. "It was a difficult couple of days before going on the road with the team last weekend." The story was based on Hinton's and several players' perceptions that the coach wasn't around enough to be a head coach. Larson doesn't believe the story was fair to him because he does do many things for the team behind the scenes. "I start fall practices and try to get things ready for spring," Larson said. "I also ran the baseball clinic, which is a majorfund-raiserforus." Larson explained that the clinic helps pay for road trips. As many as 240 kids attended last summer and paid $100 each. The flak that Larson took from Hinton stems from the fact that Larson rarely attends practices or games. "My full-time job is teaching in Denver," Larson said. "Teaching brings me most of my income." Larson believes some of the comments that give a feeling of displeasure with him come from underclassmen who haven't been with the team very long. "In the fall, Coach Larson is there all the time," five-year senior Rusty Befus said. "This is the first time that he hasn't been here that much during the spring. He does a lot of the dirty work. and that may get overlooked." see Larson page 21

Larson from page 20 Coach Bill Helman talked to the team earlier about Larson and his commitment. Understandably, there was a bit of a misunderstanding. "I think they really didn't understand the situation," Larson said. "I didn't get release time from teaching and the spring break times were different, so I couldn't go with the team during spring break.'. Piior to being named co-head coach, Larson spent 11 years as an assistant coach. However, last year, Helman decided to give him the distinction of being named one of the head coaches of the team along with

himself. "I really didn 't want the title," Larson said. "I wanted to remain an assistant or be named as recruiter." And recruiting is what Larson spends most of his time doing. " I do spend a lot of time recruiting year-round," he said. "Some of the seniors talked to me after the story came out and said that the program wouldn't be where it is without the recruiting." Still, the absenses mount for Larson who said, "I have a love for baseball." "If I had my number one choice, I would coach college baseball. Ifl were paid full -time, it would be my number one choice over teaching." 0
