SOGGY STUDENTS.: Monday's wet weather greeted students on the Auraria Campus. The unseasonally foul weather created a sea of umbrellas not usually seen in August. However, the damp weather did not seem to diminish students' spirits as they returned for the start of the fall semester.

Student government resolution

condemns Amendment Two EPOC representative says amendment to the state's constitution would allow 'legal discrimination,' but proponents of the initiative say sexual orientation does not constitute minority status Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

â&#x20AC;˘

Passing Amendment Two to the state constitution this November would ensure discrimination against gays and lesbians, according to a resolution passed unanimously July 29 by MSCD student government opposing the amendment. At a press conference Aug. 8, Student Government President Thomas Mestnik, joined by several student government members and representatives from The Equal Protection Campaign for Colorado (EPOC) and the Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance, said the amendment provides for state supported discrimination . "This is about legal discrimination," said Bobbie McCallum, a representative of

EPOC. McCallum said Amendment Two was craftily worded to intentionally mislead voters to thinking they are voting for a non-discriminatory government. "Unfortunately, if citizens walk into the voting booth in November .. . they won't know how to vote," McCallum said. "We are in danger of being duped as a public." Colorado for Family Values, initiated the amendment by collecting over 84,000 signatures, said Kevin Tebedo, director of the organization. He said he was required to get 49,000. Tebedo said the amendment will prohibit gays from obtaining protectedclass status, similar to ethnic minorities. "It is ridiculous that homosexuals, bisexuals and lesbians want a piggyback ride on real minorities," Tebedo said.

He said that discrimination against Afro-Americans is obvious because of skin color, whereas one "can't tell if a person is homosexual just by looking at them." Gays are not refused jobs because of their sexual orientation as often as minorities are refused jobs because of their heritage, Tebedo said. "I know there are some cases of discrimination against gays, but not many," Tebedo said. Because research cannot biologically prove whether or not a person is homosexual, gays shouldn't get the same protected class status as minorities, he said. "If a person came into my office and told me he or she was gay, I wouldn ' t believe it," Tebedo said.

Long lines of anxious students have once again formed outside the MSCD financial aid office this semester and the understaffed office has been inundated with phone calls from students with problems of every sort, said Cheryl Judson, director of financial aid. The financial aid office took more than 5,500 phone calls Aug. 14, she said. Only two counselors were available to answer the calls for the entire financial aid office. The differences in staffing are due to lack of funding, Judson said, comparing MSCD 's financial aid office staff of 18 to other state schools that have an average of 40 staff members. " There has been a tremendous increase in students receiving financial aid the past five years, and we've had to keep up with it," Judson said. Assistant director of financial aid Judith Lichtenfeld said the number of student loans processed was almost doubled that of last year's. In the 1991 -92 school year, $15 million in financial aid was given to 9,869 students. For this year, $26.6 million was given to 9,960 students, she said, most of it from student loans. An extra computer terminal has been set up in the office because of the heavy flow of students , said Brenda Sebastian, a financial aid counselor. The

long lines usually continue through the first few days of the semester, she said. Most students standing in line are either just now applying for financial aid or have rece ived a suspension notice , Judson said. "We sent out 2,000 suspension notices at the end of spring and summer, and those st1,1dents are now

appearing and are expecting us to take care of it instantly on the spot," she said. Other students have ignored the July 31 deadline to declare the correct method of payment with telephone registration, she said. Students discover they have no way to pay for classes and come into the office " hoping for a mirac le," Judson said.

Chase Wickstrom, assistant manager for the Tivoli, said Student Activities and other groups were denied use of the space because it is unsafe.

Many students "shop around" for c lasses they want, he sa id, often overbooking their schedules, denying other students access to those classes. Telephone registration, Conner said, is another reason for the change. Students are not required to seek advising when they register by telephone. By lowering the cap, Conner said students wanting to take more than 16 credits would be forced to consult with academic advisers unless they meet the GPA requirements.

The MSCD student senate July 29 opposed the new credit overload policy and drafted a resolution calling for the overload cap of 18 credits to be reinstated. The policy now applies to any student registering for more than 16 credit hours per semester. "As with most policies and those who implement them," said MSCD student body President Thomas Mestnik, "they have the students' best interest at heart. But this change in the policy is overly paternal and doesn' t respect the students' ability to make decisions." Jett Conner, interim associate vice president for academic affairs, said the

3.25 or higher. The policy also mandates a GPA of 3.5 or h igher for students to register for 18 credit-hours, Conner said. In addition, Conner said a student must also have completed at least 15 semester hours at MSCD. If students do not meet these requirements, Conner said, they must get the approval of the department chair and the dean. Also, students will not be able to add overload classes until the first day of the semester. Because students with low GPAs may have difficulty taking the overload, the student senate is also requesting that the necessary GPA for 18 credits be lowered to 2.50 and 2. 75 for students wanting 19 or more credits.

THE METROPOLITAN

August 28, 1992

In his final convocation speech Aug. 20 at the Auraria Events Center, MSCD President Thomas Brewer praised the accomplishments of student activities, the counseling center, Cooperative Education, affirmative action, and the MSCD men 's and women's basketball teams. MSCD is a college that is becoming wiser, stronger and more dynamic each year, he said. In addition to school accomplishments this past year, Brewer spoke about plans for the upcoming year including enrollment, minority faculty, community service and RTD 's light-rail system. New faculty members were introduced during the convocation. Of the 34 new faculty' 65 percent are women and 35 percent are ethnic minorities. The Hispanic Task Force and the African-American Council were created last year and an Ethnic Cabinet is under consideration for this year, he said, as well as a better defined anti-discrimination policy. Sexual harassment workshops for

faculty were held last year, he said, and racial harassment workshops are planned for this year. " We can and will continue to improve," Brewer said. "There will be no turning back." Brewer said he will continue to support a community service requirement for students even though it was voted down last year. He said he wants to require that students receiving athletic scholarships perform some type of community service. MSCD would be th e front-runner of colleges in the United States requiring community service of sc holarship recipients, he said. " We are providing help and these students can certainly give something back to their community," he said. While Brewer called the RTD light rail system a "white elephant," RTD will give the campus $500,000 for construction of the line that will run adjacent to Auraria. Brewer said MSCD received $ 1.2 million in grants, w hich have bee n awarded to several departments, including $30,000 for biology and $700,000 for aerospace to build the World Indoor Airport.

MSCD forced to limit

student .population Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Trying to limit the number of students attending the college, MSCD implemented a plan that will shorten admissions deadlines. The plan, known as the Limited Growth Model, is an attempt to control student growth based on the requirements of MSCD's Board of Trustees, said Joseph F. Arcese , vice president for Administration and Finance. If the college accepts more students than the state funds it for, it will not be reimbursed by the state for those extra students, he said. Last year, the college did not get reimb1:1rsed for 600 additional students admitted to the school. "Last year, the budget covered 11 ,950 full-time equivalent students, and the school had 12,343 students enrolled full-time. We hope to limit the number of students this year," Arcese said. A full-time equivalent student means that two part-time students can constitute one full-timer, Arcese said. "If we lose students, we get closer to our budget ," he sai d. " The Board of Trustees demands that our budget is closer met in the future, otherwise we will lose parts of the tuition income." The Limited Growth Model, which

was initiated by the Enrollment Planning and Management Task Force, has already st~rted to show its effects on campus, Arcese said. The budget for the Fall 1992 term covers 11,572 full-time equivalent students, he said. "We have almost exactly that figure right now," Arcese said. One element of the model is that the deadline for admission was set a week earlier than last year. Task force co-chairman David Williams, provost and vice president of academic affairs, said the deadline enrollment was set because students were trying to register on the first day of classes. "Students have ended up mi ss ing out on the first week of school work," Williams said. "Through setting the admission deadline two weeks before school starts, nobody gets behind in the classes . We want to make the registration more responsive to the students' needs, and our goal is to make the system more efficient," Williams said. "There shouldn 't be a lot of frustrated students on this campus," he said.

THE METROPOLITAN

~~~~~~COMMENTARY~~~~~~

The politics of financial aid filled with empty promises FRANKLY SPEAKING Shawn Christopher Cox

Analysis Is the new reauthorization of the Higher Education Act that President Bush signed beneficial or just politically correct? Helpful, and for whom? It sounds good and makes politicians look and feel good, but who does this new Act benefit and will it live up to its expectations? Clearly, this is another sign of election year pol itics . There are several significant changes concerning grants and loans that makes it apparent that Congress and the president are courting the middle class voting bloc. Basically, the Act, which Congress votes to reauthorize every five years, makes aid (both grants and loans) eligible to more people. Most of the changes will occur in the 1993-94 academic year.

Grants The Act increases the maximum amount of a Pell Grant from $2,400, the current level, to $3,700. But, do not get excited just yet. Cheryl Judson, director of financial aid at MSCD, said, "I don 't th ink it (the maximum Pell Grant) will be funded more than $2,400, actually." Then why has Congress raised the maximum amount? The answer is election year illusion. Congress is really saying , "If we had the money, we would fund the maximum Pell Grant at $3,700." Judson pointed out that "the maximum Pell Grant could be $3,600. It's been that way for five years." However, Congress has not fu11ded it at that level. The Act allows more people to qualify for Pell Grants by removing home and farm equity from the eligibility formula to determine the size of one's grant. This is courting the middle class. The argument has been that having assets has hurt the middle class. However, if people are wise enough to invest and gain assets, then they should be wise enough to save up for their children's college education. This comes down to a philosophical question of who should be more eligible for grants. Judson said that the question is whether people who own a home should be considered in the same way as someone who rents. This is putting the student who is considered independent (one who lives on his/her own)

lry -lh~ tlnifed Slafes /;-esfSerwce,,

and rents on the same status as the student who lives at home in Castle Pines, she said. Judson said she believes not considering home and farm equity is unfair to independent students. As she explained , several things are looked at when determining a Pell Grant award. For example, the number of family members , in come , t axes and investments are considered. With equity not being a consideration, more people will become eligible . Some see this as making more people eligible at the expense of lowerincome people. The system must give somewhere. If more people are eligible for grants, then one can deduce that the maximum amount will be lowered if Congress does not appropriate more funds. Because

of the increased competition for grants, this ultimately hurts lower-income students. Judson said that the House Appropriations Committee will meet after the November election to determine financial-aid funding . In a bold move , the committee has already approved legislation that would cut Pell Grants to $2,300 or lower, $100 less than the current level. The committee said that the limit could be set even lower if the Education Department determines that funds were insufficient to cover everyone. Additionally, other aid programs will be reduced by one percent from 1992 levels for the 1993-94 academic year . This includes Suppleme ntal Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study and State Student Incentive Grants. "Everything is going to hit the fan a year from now," Judson said , when the effects of opening eligibility to more students is determined. The bill has yet lo go before the House and the Senate has not even considered the issue, so nothing concerning funding will probably be voted on until after the election. Congress has also simplified the process to apply for aid by having one formula for all aid, instead of having different formulas for different types of aid. Judson said this is helpful because it reduces paperwork involved.

Education Department will be required to verify all Pell Grant recipient information, rather than the 30 percent that is now checked.

Loans One of the biggest changes in the new act deals with loans. Beginning Oct. 1, all students, regardless of their family's income, are now eligible to participate in the Stafford Student Loan program. The difference for wealthier students is they will not receive the interest subsidy the government provides to lower-income students. For lower-income students, the government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in college. Also , this means students could get both subsidized and unsubsidized loans, said Tom Ross, public information specialist at the Colorado Student Loan Program. First year students and first time borrowers can receive up to $2,625 per year for a Stafford Student Loan. If that student receives a $2,000 subsidized loan (the interest will be paid by the government while the student is in college), then the student can get a $625 unsubsidized Stafford loan (the student must pay interest on the loan while in college). Ross said it remains to be seen how much of an effect the changes will have on financial aid and the number of students taking out loans since all students are now eligible for loans. Judson said there is room for the amount of loans given out to double and that now anybody with a warm body can get a loan. In 1984-85, MSCD handed out $7 million in loans. In 1991-92 that has increased to $27 million.

Grants vs. Loans

Judson said that making all students eligible for loans will have a negative effect on grants. Because Congress is making loans available to all students, it will not increase funding for Pell Grants. She added that Congress must do this to ease politicians' conscience: make all students eligible for loans while taking away money for grants. "Let them have the loans, that's fine with me," Judson said, but she does not think that more loans should be funded at the expense of Pell Grants.

A philosophical debate

The debate concerning who should be eligible for financial aid is a philosophical one of how much assistance government should provide for college students. The government should not be mom or dad running to the rescue for those who do not know how If the House Appropriation Committee's funding to plan their future. Of course, it is not the 18-yearbill passes as is by the House and Senate, then the . old's fault that his or her parents did not save for college, but that means sacrifices must be made. If people do not take personal responsibility and believe governmer:it should provide everything, then many rights cherished by Americans will be lost. "The attitudes of students, parents and families has drastically changed in 27 years," Judson said, since she was a work-study student in 1965. 1 Back then, people were grateful for financial aid and appreciative. "Now, the attitude is that they're (students) entitled to it," Judson said, adding that this was unfortunate. She said that about five percent of students at MSCD believe they are entitled to financial aid, regard less of income, grades or other considerations. On the other hand, after Spring Graduation, one letter or card will come in thanking us for our assistance that made it possible for a student to go college, Judson said. "That's what keeps us working hard for students." ' If you receive aid, send a card or letter after graduation, so the financial aid office will continue working hard.

I try not to deal in gossip. I also try to avoid red meat and stereotyping, but hey, 500 trips to McD's has yet to convince me that polyester is not a leading cause of pimples. The headlines these past few weeks have been saturated with personal problems for public figures. Are we voyeurs because we want to witness when Fergie gets something off her chest? Is it compassion or morbid curiosity that demands we be there when Woody and Mia disprove The Kinks' claim about celluloid heroes? Being a pseudo ( love that word ) member of the fourth estate, I get to sift through the dirt we sometimes call news, add a little juice, and let the mud fall where it may. But to make sure that it doesn't stick, here is a fun way to stay aloof, yet, current. Just match the quotes with the guilty party or parties. 1. "I was just prepping for a la leche fundraiser." 2. "Negative polls? I hope the Serbs wipe 'em all out! Or is this another ozone question?" 3. "I just wanted to get something straight between us.n 4. "I knew Gary Hart - several times - and he is no Gary Hart."

5. "Foreign affairs? I won't dignify that with an answer." 6 . "Hypothetically, if it were my daughter, I would support her CHOICE." 7.

Communication and trust lacking in Tivoli plans

;

Within the last month there have been some important issues that have yome up dealing with the Tivoli. Many students feel that there has been a serious breach of agreement between the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) and the Tivoli Planning Committee. Members of the Tivoli Planning Committee learned that JoAnn Soker had approved and/or finalized an eight-month lease agreement with the manager of Club Infinity for the Oinks space. This resulted in much frustration and confusion on the part of the Tivoli Planning Committee members. They had previously voted against any such lease based on the opinion that it would jeopardize the existing food vendors in the current student union and because of the philosophical differences in what the students believe is appropriate for a student union. In light of this, you can well realize how upsetting it was to learn that AHEC was extending a new eight-month lease for the Oinks space that directly conflicted with student desires. A proposal was- developed which outlined student grievances, listed possible resolutions and

specific actions that will be taken by students should AH EC continue to ignore us. This proposal was presented at the Aug. 5 Tivoli Planning meeting. At this time it was accepted in principle and is currently under review by the Tivoli Planning Committee. We as students, and I as a representative of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, feel that in order for us to have a productive relationship between students and administration, there has to be frequent and accurate communication, and most importantly, there has to be a high level of sincerity and trust. We hope this communication will be further enhanced by JoAnn Saker's acceptance of a student co-chair. We feel our wishes and needs are be ing ignored whic h severely restricts our rights to participate in the decision-making process which is so critical to the success of the Tivoli Union.

Student Activities personnel work while students wait Patricia Straub The Metropolitan

Being available to MSCD students is what Student Activities is all about. For one hour each day this week, they did just that, answering questions and distributing flyers to a captive audience of students stranded in the financial aid line. The flyers contained information about programs and services offered by Student Activities and introduced students to some of the people who work in the activities office. MSCD Activities council members

Kersten Keith, Bret Scott and Bryce Avery bring lectures, comedy acts, jazz and other quality entertainment to the campu_s. "Tell us what you liked, and we' ll do it again," Scott said. In another branch of Student Activities, Jeanine Cowan, assistant to the leadership program, has been an active student vo ice on the Tivoli Planning Committee and said she welcomes any student input about the Tivoli planning . Along with associate director Davidson Porter, Cowan helps produce all leadership events associated with Student Activities. Scott Palmer, the clubs coordinator and his assistant, Lisa Winkler, help clubs and

organizations on campus with their programming. Rounding out the program are Jody Adams, Shannon Lahey and Dorothy Hicks, all support staff in the office. [n charge of all this action is Maggie Miller, acting director of Student Activities. Miller said she is especially interested in the transformation of the Tivoli into a student union and said she thinks the leadership program is one o(the best in the country. So, students, take advantage of MSCD student activities. For more inform at ion call 556-2595 or stop by Student Union Room 255.

Cramped-classroom conditions demand desperate measures AHEC forced to get creative to accommodate students; Tivloi hosting six classes; Tramway Building and movie theatres to host Auraria classes next, administrator says Wes Johnson The Metropolitan

Classroom space on the Auraria Campus is getting tighter, leaving many

classes without rooms this semester, said Ginny Feagler , division director for Auraria Facilities Planning and Use. Referring to a space deficit study done in 1989, Feagler said projected space to be used by the three schools on the Auraria Campus was less than anticipated and the need for classroom space was "desperate." Jo Ann Soker, executive vice president for Administration for the Auraria Higher Education Center said efforts are being made to open new classrooms. Six empty storefronts in the Tivoli are being used as classrooms. Also, the Tramway building, at Arapahoe Street between 13th and 14th

RoundTrip Airfare

Streets , is being renovated into five classrooms and should be completed in three weeks , sa id Barbara Duckworth, MSCD's classroom assignment director for Admissions and Records. AHEC has been negotiating with American Multi-Cinema (AMC) to use theaters in the Tivoli for morning classes, Soker said. This semester, 15 classes do not have rooms, Duckworth said, and without the Tivoli rooms there would have been 25. The most difficult time slots to to find avai lable classrooms are Tuesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons, Duckworth said.

"We have eight returning starters from last season," said Head Coach Ed Monto. "Most of the team played in an under-23 (years-old) league this summer, which they won. The cohesiveness of the team is there, they came to practice in the best shape of any team in my eight years Roadrunner's team captian and lone senior, of c;oaching."
