$20 absence fee high for strained budgets Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

...

A student who doesn't show up to a scheduled medical appointment at the MSCD Student Health Center has to cough up a $20 fee, unless he or she calls in a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance.

"I think $20 is too much for students to pay," said Antonio Ledesma, MSCD professor and member of the Student Affairs Board, which funds the health clinic.

Most students at the non-traditional college have strained budgets, he said. The students are often juggling families, work and studies at the same time, he said, which can make it hard for them to keep planned schedules at all times.

"Many students here have enough expenses as it is, plus the fact that they already have paid a fee for the health center," Ledesma said, referring to the basic:-student fee.

Karen Bozik, MSCD senior, visited the health center last week.

"Ultimately, I think it's wrong to charge for services that are not even rendered," she said. "From my perspective, it is unethical to charge students as much as $20 when they miss an appointment. It is shocking if the students are not clearly

notified of the charge."

To Bozik, the stated fee was a surprise despite the fact that she was waiting to be seen by the health center staff and had filled out the required paperwork.

The charge rules are stated under the heading "Payment Policies" toward the bottom of the information sheet that every new patient has to fill out.

Leona Meis, patient service coordinator at the health center, said the clients also are informed of the rules through the appointment cards they receive.

How often do patients miss appointments?

"Yesterday, we had four people who didn't show up and ended up being charged," Meis said.

She said the staff always listens to the patient's reasons for missing the visit.

"If the reasons for the absence sounds legit, we look into not charging the person. But if it is negligence on the part of the patient, be or she is charged," Meis said. . A bilJ of $20 is sen,t. in the mail to the patient, or handed over in person, if he or she returns to the health center. Every patient is contacted by the clinic's staff by phone 48 hours before the appointment,

1 The Institutional ' Advisory Committee, which consisted of coUege representatives, no longer exists.

It would have presented its own list of 10 presidential candidat~s to the trustees, but the trustees will now not consult the board before making the final decision, said Trustee Gary Reiff.

"What's most important to us is to keep the credibility of the school and the board," Reiff said. Somebody, he said, breached an important trust in leaking the names of the candidates to The Metropolitan.

"In the real world, people have jobs," he said, adding that the applicants initially should be protected from the media and public exposure.

The presidential search at MSCD was put to a halt theJ day after The Metropolitan revealed 13 names of l.be Coloradans who applied for the presidential position.

As a result, the board of trustees has decided to change the selection process: from now on, the top candidates may be chosen without input from MSCD faculty, staff or students.

"They [the trustees) wanted this all along. They wanted to have all the power," said Barb Ferrill, MSCD student trustee. "Now, the people who have a stake in who becomes president have no

"Gary Reiff threw a temper tantrum.

The decision to get rid of the advisory board shows how little commitment the board of trustees has to the community, the students and the faculty at MSCD," Ferrill said.

A hearing that was scheduled for March 17 to determine if the presidential search records could remain closed under the state's Open Records Law, will not take place.

The south side of the Auraria Campus is turning into a construction zone with the beginning of work on RTD's light rail system.

Provost delays LAS dean choice Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan

Shawn Christopher Cox Editor in Chief

swnmer. .,;,Jean E.R.. Straub

Naming a new dean of letters; arts and sciences has been postponed to no later than April 15, Provost David Williams told the search committeein a memo. The new dean was originally to be named March 5.

Williams said in an interview that his decision to hold the appointment was due to a "lack of clear re<;:ommendation from the search committee."

"When will this end?" asked Susan Josepher, a search committee member. "I want to know when this will end."

Beverly Forrester, also on the committee, said the delay caught her off guard.

"We were surprised that David delayed it," she said, adding that it was not true that the committee gave an unclear recommendation.

"As I understand it, that was his decision (naming a dean)," Forrester said.

"We gave him our recommendation on Feb. 23."

The three fina lists had not been notified of the delay. The three expressed surprise that the announcement had been delayed until April but declined to comment specifically on the decision.

"I believe the most appropriate thing to do is withhold comment until I am notified of the delay by the search committee," said finalist Michael Rowland, dean of the college of arts and sciences at the University of Montevallo in Alabama.

The other two finalists are Sharon Zablotney, associate vice president for research arid dean of the college of graduate studies at Mankato State University in Minnesota, and Spencer McWilliarns, vice president of academic affairs and dean of Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, N.C .

Search committee member, Virginia

Parker, said she was ·a1so surprised that the decision will be delayed. However, she said she could understand how Williams did not get a clear picture of who the committee wanted hired. "(There are) a wide variety of views on the committee," Parker said.

Josepher warned that Williams should make hi"s decision as soon as possible because of the chance of losing the finalists to other jobs. The finalists would be "crazy to put all of their eggs in the basket (at MSCD)," she said.

Akbarali Thobhani, a search committee member, said Williams needs to fill the position before it's too late.

"The timing is getting to be so late that we may not be able to get the position filled," he said. "The search should be reopened."

Thobhani stt~ssed the need for stability since MSCD is looking for a new president.

"At this point and time, stability at Metro is most important," he said.

The bumper sticker says, "My child beat up your honor student."

The Denver district attorney says the challenge of changing this kind of · mentality should catapult students toward pursuing careers in public administration.

I f adults are glorifying Norm Early the strength of body over the strength of mind so much as to advocate their child to inflict harm on a child who is utilizing their mind, we have much work to do," Norm Early said to a gathering of students and faculty in the Student Union March 15.

The "work" to repair society's ills, Early suggested, should begin with those people working in the public sector.

"If we do not care, nothing can save us. If we do care, nothing can stop us," Early said .

Early, who has been Denver's district attorney since 1983, spoke to about 30 students and faculty about the reasons he chose to maintain a career in public service. He said the bumper sticJcer

incident was typical of the things that served to reinforce his commitment. " That bumper sticker made my stomach tum," Early said. "I thought, what kind of perverted sucker could put together something like that? (Seeing) it told me we have got such a long way· to go."

During the event, sponsored by the MSCD Public Administration Club, Early told the audience it takes a special kind of person to make a difference working in public administration.

"A lot of people think that you can just take a monkey and put him in the public sector and just let him do stuff, but it doesn't work that way." Early said. "It . doesn ' t work without compassion, it doesn't work without heart, without soul.

It doesn't work without committed individuals who really care about what they are doing."

According to Early, "committed individuals" include those people who are well-rounded, self-starters and, above all else, are not motivated by money.

"When you get someone working in the public sector who's looking for money, you have got a problem," Early said. "You need people who are genuinely interested in their city or their state."

Early assured students pursuing careers in public administration that as long as their motivations were in the right place and they were wijling to work hard, they would have no prdblem finding a job.

"Those who are good will be employed," Early said.

Councilwoman talks on ethics Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan

•

Media star.

That's how Westword reporter Karen Bowers describes Joanne Conte.

Conte, the Arvada city councilwoman who has been the focus of several news articles in the past two weeks, spoke at an MSCD journalism ethics class Monday about her experiences since it became known that she was once a he.

Now her telephone rings with calls coming in from television talk shows and national news networks.

"When I'm awakened at 5:30 in the morning by ABC news wanting to know who I am-who cares" she said.

Although Conte said she has received support after her gender change was

reveled, she still questions the idea of the public's right to know.

"I think we have to put some order to what this is all about," she said.

The public has a right to know what effects them, she said, and what can be protected fur a public official.

Despite her belief that the public should not know about her gender change, she credits the press for handling the issue in a sensitive and compassionate ·manner.

Bowers sat next to Conte during the class session and talked about the events that led to the revelation about Conte and the decision she made not to release the information in a story.

"I dido 't feel it was necessary that people had a right to know ... ," she said.

"It seemed too personal."

Bowers did, however, write an

extensive story which appears in this week's Westward, but that was after stories in the Rocky Mountain News arxl The Denver Post were published.

While Bowers said she does not advocate the practice, she allowed Conte to read her story before it was published to make sure the facts were correct. " It was such an extremely personal story that we felt she had a right to do this,'' she said.

While no television appearances are scheduled for the immediate future, Conte said she is interested in writing a book about her experiences with the hope of helping others who are living through what she has had to live through.

"Maybe, weird as this whole thing is, I can give some people hope," she said.

Mathematics, minds, marshmallow missles Jean E. R. Straub The Metropolitan They came en mass from every direction. They came to shoot marshmallows into the sky.

One hundred and fifty students from 15 area junior high and high schools came to the Student Union March 10 for the seventh annual Math Day contests. The event wa s sponsored by the MSCD mathematical and computer science department and the office of the dean of letters, arts and sciences.

"This is the future of our economy," said Charlotte Murphy, chair of the math department Students were divided into teams of three, with some of the schools having more than one team. Bill Emerson of the math department asked the students questions like, "Find the average of the first 999,999 odd numbers ." Team members held up white cards with their school name and team number when they found the correct answer.

Competitions included college-level algebra, geometry and trigonometry, and each team shot marshmallows into the air with impact launchers, directing the course of the marshmallow with

mathematics.

Students were picked to attend based on performance and interest. Art Wilson, a teacher from Lincoln High School in Denver, took teams of volunteers. The student s who volunteered were not necessarily academic wizards, he said, but they did well in the competition because the problems involved creative, non-linear thinking.

Wilson said his teams were made up of even numbers of boys and girls. John Putnam of Irving Junior High School in Colorado Springs said he had, out of three teams, eight boys and one girl. One of the most positive aspects of the day, Putnam said, was that female students saw that both the math department chair and the interim dean of letters, arts and sciences were female. The girls bring that news back to school with them, he said.

Emerson said Math Day is a good promotion for the math department, but that the best thing is the connection with the high school teachers. A couple of teachers asked if they could bring students to use the computer program Mathematica, which the department purchased with a National Science Foundation grant matched with institutional funds, he said.

Indecent exposure Heavy equipment ·wayne Alan Baugh, 39, of Denver, was arrested for indecent exposure after he allegedly took his penis out of his pants and was masturbating outside in front of a woman who was standing in the North Classroom Building Feb. 25, according to a police report.

Sound slur A UCO staff members who works at the Center for Racism and Ethnic Violence reported to Auraria police that several long messages have been left on his answering machine, including the sound of a phone ringing and the sound of somebody hitting touch~tone keys, police said. The staff member is afraid that the harassing phone calls may be coming from a person who dislikes the center's operation, police said. The staff member said he is also afraid the problem may escalate, police said.

Uninvited male A woman reported to police that on March 5, a man walked with her to her car even though she told him not to walk with her.

The woman described the man as a 5'6" hispani c , 135 pounds, having blood-shot eyes and stained teeth, and wearing blue jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball cap, the report said.

Lee Thompson, of Westminster, allegedly left Club Infinity with some of his wife ' s property after a minor argument Feb. 28, according to an APS report. Police escorted his wife, Jessica Thompson, to the vehicle where Thompson was waiting, the report said.

Thompson told police he had weapons in the car, and police asked to inspect the vehicle, the report said. Thompson agreed, and police found a loaded .45 caliber pistol under the driver's seat and a loaded .22 caliber pistol underneath the floor mat on the passenger's side, police said. Thompson was held until Denver Police officers arrived, the report said.

Hefty theft Leiza Thompson told Auraria police that she, Katherine Martin and Laquanda Ferguson returned to her vehicle in Tivoli Lot A March 5 and found that the driver's side rear window had been broken and about $1,000 in cash, clothing and other items had been stolen, Auraria police said. Police reported having no suspects or witnesses to the crime.

MSCD opens the records

Faculty, students debate search

MSCD will adhere to the Colorado Open Records Act and provide public inspection of documents collected in searches for administrative positions, said Percy Morehouse, the college's equal opportunity director.

Morehouse said all documents the college can legally disclose will be considered open to the public.

This includes committee reports and -minutes, finalists lists and applications submitted to search committees.

Additionally, Morehouse said that a statement will now be included on pos~tion announce?'lents that state the search will be conducted under the Colorado Open Records Act. This tells candidates that their names and applications are subject to public inspection.

Trustees give in, release records The trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado halted a court hearing scheduled for March 17 when they decided to release applicant files for the presidential search for MSCD last Friday.

Making the files open to the public meant that the court hearing became moot.

Glenn Burnham, president of the trustees, filed an application in Denver district court to restrict disclosure of the documents Feb. 18.

Attorneys for The Metropolitan subsequently filed a motion calling for the court hearing to be set at the earliest practical time.

On Monday, The Metropolitan reviewed the applicant files at the trustees' office at 16th Street and Lincoln Street.

ALL ABOUT RECORDS: Charles Branch (above), MSCD human services professor, partakes In a spirited debate among faculty members and students Wednesday. Susan Josepher (right), chairwoman of art education department, called for a vote of "No confidence" of the state trustees after the search for a new MSCD president was called off. Members of the senate moved to ask the trustees to reinstate the search whh Input from the lnsthutlonal search commhtee that was disbanded following the trustee's decision to halt the search. Both students and facuhy members criticized the trustee's decision to cancel the search.

Presidential searches frequent for MSCD in past Scottie Menln The Metropolitan Searching for a president at MSCD has become sort of commonplace in the schools short 27 year history.

When President Thomas Brewer retires from his post this August, he will have served longer than all but two of his predecessors since being named to the post in 1988.

The last time a president stayed as long as Brewer was in the 1970s when James D. Palmer kept the post from 1971 to 1978. And Kenneth Phillips, the first actual president of the college, served from 1966 to 1971.

In its history, MSCD has seen six presidents, six acting presidents and one interim president with their average stay being two years. The 1980s alone saw eight of these presidents come and go at MSCD. Of the actual presidents, the average stay has been less than four years.

A study conducted in 1984 by the Commission on Strengthening Presidential Leadership warned then that finding presidential applicant s is frustrating and retaining qualified presidents even harder.

The study added that the average president stays at a college seven years, which according to its findings, is not long enough to implement long-term plans for an institution.

$20 clinic fee¡ controversial FEE from page 1 and reminded of the scheduled visit, as well as of the absence fee.

"At private doctor's offices, patients are charged about $35 when they miss appointments," Meis said. "Even at tanning booths the customers are charged if they don't show up."

Stephen Monaco, director of the student health center, said the cancellation fee has been very successful since it was implemented last year.

"A year ago, we registered over 60 percent failure rate on appointments.

Today, we are down to 20 percent because of the fee," he said, adding that the cancellation limit set 24 hours in advance has been equally beneficial.

"With last year's high cancellation rate, we received about two or three cancellations an hour."

Monaco said the health center needs to be run like any other medical institution.

"At times, the funding board appears to think that this health clinic is different from medical services in the community.

But it is not. The administration of the

student health center needs to be run the same way as the health clinics in the outside community," Monaco said.

Ledesma said the health center should be different from outside medical institutions.

"This is an educational institution.

That's a fundamental difference," he said.

Ledesma' s recommendation is to lower the amount of the cancellation fee.

"Through a lesser charge, we would recognize that the set appointment has a dollar value, but it would not be punitive to the person," he said.

The main question is, according to Ledesma, whether the staff will focus on disease treatment or primarily work toward prevention of health problems.

The cost of the health center today is almost half of the total student fees out of $1.2 million, $403,500 goes to the clinic.

"The health center is not going to be less needed in the future," Monaco said.

"A total of 30 percent of the students come here, and I think they are getting their money's worth."

He said about 20,000 visits are registered at the health center every year.

Monaco said the clinic's staff is proud of making students feel comfortable when they visit the student health center. ''The students love us. We have loyal followers at the health center," he said.

Burnham's position was that any early disclosure of the records would keep qualified people from applying for the position of leading the counrty's largest four year state-run college.

The Metropolitan' s editor in chief, Shawn Christopher Cox said he feels the paper won the lawsuit.

"I viewed the search documents this afternoon," he said. "The Metropolitan will always fight for openness."

Cox said he wants to see the presidential search process changed.

"What we have is a system that pats the institutional advisory committee on the back, tells the committee it did a good job, and then picks whoever they want as a president," Cox.said.

He added that the trustees were "only !;-

acting politically correct."

"They were letting the MSCD community think it was involved in the search, when the trustees had the final say all along," he said.

Anne Steinbeck, chairwoman of the trustees, said the board members from now on will select the presidential candidates themselves.

"But we will do anything we can to make the candidates known to the college population," she said, adding that plans are for the candidates to visit campus before a president is selected.

Will the new presidential search be open to the public?

"We will not put down much on paper," Trustee Gary Reiff said. "The Freedom of Information Act only covers written records. We'll work a lot from memory."

Ferrill said the process is undemocratic.

Colorado Trustees: You didn't fool anyone FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Dear trustees of the state colleges of Colorado: So, you decided to abandon the search for a new president of MSCD. You are crying foul bec~use The Metropolitan's journalism skills outmatched your legal barrage brought on by the state attorney general's office.

Trustee Gary Reiff, chairman of the trustee presidential search committee, is now threatening to have the search even more closed the next time around . He said the Institutional Advisory Committee, a committee at MSCD formed to help the trustees choose a new president, will now be abolished. Come on, Gary, you ' re not fooling anyone. ' Institutional advisory committees are like the trustees shaking your hand and laughing behind your back at the same time. The whole purpose of this committee was to provide a finalist or two so the trustees could say, "Thanks for your most valuable service," and then pick one of their cronies.

Possibly the guy from Mesa State would be good, right? One better talk to the students and

La , ~

It seems amazing the levels of effort some will make to ensure that another gets the blame. There is no room for compromise nor agreement, but rather an overriding commitment to see that the 'other guy' is the

faculty at Mesa before endorsing our friend Raymond Kieft and seeing what he is really like.

MSCD is an institution of higher education .

People at this college are not stupid, nor do they cringe to threats by authority. Mr. Reiff is veiling secrecy for the next search. You just don't get it, do you Gary?

All The Metropolitan and the public is asking for is to have searches conducted legally under the Open Records Act. The Metropolitan attempted to do this but was put in the position to side-step the process and confirm names otherwise.

Dear trustees, you should take a lesson from MSCD. This school has wisely said it believes in open records and searches. Percy Morehouse, equal opportunity director, said that the college will now put on its position announcements a statement that says searches will be conducted under the Open Records Act. Good going, Metro.· The administration is to be commended for this.

Now, if only the arrogant trustees could learn from their colleagues at MSCD. They really are not ignorant, believe me. I interview them often.

Trustees, who do you think you are? You were well aware that the public would have the opportunity to know who had applied for the most powerful position at MSCD; either through open records or reporting.

Did you want to have a reason to stop this search? Could it possibly be that the Institutional Advisory Committee was too diverse and too involved with whom it wanted as the next president?

one who looks like· the bad guy. Well, so far that hasn't acromplished much, has it?

I guess that means it is time for a change in tactics for those who want to effect world change.

"If we worked as hard at f inding solutions as we do to find someone to blame, maybe then trueprogress would be made."

Me

The Institutional Advisory Committee is to be commended for it s work. There were good people on the committee and their choice of a new president would certainly have been better than the person you will come up with.

Bagging the advisory committee proves that the trustees really do not care about MSCD and will just ignore intellectual thought and guidance. Now, the only difference is that you are saying openly that you do not care about input and no longer will hide behind the guise of an institutional search committee pretending to take their suggestions at heart.

Furthermore, Mr. Reiff's threats of secrecy shows that trustees don't care about the law and don't care about openness in government.

MSCD is a public institution. The Colorado Legislature has determined that the public's business is to be conducted in the public eye.

Taxpayers and students pay the $120 ,000 salary of the president. Therefore, it is newsworthy and necessary for the college and the community at large to know who will possibly be the next president.

After names are revealed, the trustees could receive guidance and advice on whom to hire. Of course, people at MSCD know that the trustees will pick who they want anyway.

However, after 13 presidents in Metro's 27 year history, the trustees could not plead ignorance after your selection turns out to be a dud.

Come on, trustees. Follow the law, open the records and come down from your high horse.

~ GUEST EDITORIAL ~

Board of Trustees strive to keep power to selves In true Orwellian fashion Gary Rieff and the Board of Trustees have cancelled the presidential search which sought participation of the Institutional Advisory Committee (IAC). The IAC members included alumni, students, faculty and administration. Rieff has declared that they shall appoint a president without input or approval of these constituents.

Furthermore, they have declared that these groups will be excluded from the search so as to serve the best interest of these groups. This is pure doublespeak and it is also elitism.

For Rieff, having students, faculty and administration involved in the search is necessary for-image purposes only.

The entire exercise of including the IAC was to give the illusion that the selection process was pluralistic and democratic but when Rieff saw an opportunity to dismiss the IAC and seize .the moral high ground, he leaped at the chance. He used The Metropolitan's printing of the names as a pretext for his actions but it is important to remember that most of the names printed had been known for weeks. The firing of the IAC was not prompted by The Met. but rather by the IAC's selection of a top 1O list which failed to carry the name of the trustees front runner, Ray Kieft, who is currently President of Mesa State and close friends with all the good ol' boys on the Board.

The treatment of the MSCD Presidential search in The Metropolitan is inaccurate and misleading.

The coverage implies that the State College Trustees are conducting the search for a new president at Metro in secret. On the contrary, the trustees have declared they will make public the identities of the serious candidates for the position.

They have been diligent in keeping the campus informed, and are pursuing the search in a professional and collegial manner. What they are trying to do with the assistance and advice of their institutional advisory committee is recruit a pool of qualified prospects from which to designate serious candidates. Note that the advisory committee is broadly representative of the campus and includes faculty, students, alumni, foundation members and classified staff - hardly a secret operation. Also, the entire MSCD community was asked to nominate prospects.

Moreover, it is common practice to solicit the interest of outstanding sitting presidents and other senior level individuals in a position as important as the MSCD presidency. The fear of public disclosure before they are asked to become serious candidates

discourages the best qualified individuals from allowing their names to be considered. This is because inevitably , prematur.J .disclosure undermines their leadership, and damages credibility in their current position. Their boards immediately become suspicious, the community charges disloyalty, faculty treat them as lame ducks, and their staff begin looking for new jobs. It is a very real problem. Thus, many strong people withdraw, or refuse to become involved in the first place.

Indeed, the trustees are sensitive to the classic conflict between the individual's right to privacy and the public's right to know. Accordingly, they have taken a moderate and reasonable position on the matter. They have repeatedly stated they will make public the identities and vitae of the seri ous candidates when they are selected, and will conduct public interviews with the finalists before a choice is made. This process will produce the best results for MSCD and the people of Metropolitan Denver.

Sincerely, for the Trustees of the State Colleges

Glenn Burnham President, State College~ in Colorado

Board of Trustees act to keep student voice out The students got the shaft again from the Board of Trustees. After disregarding Metro students' vote against tuition by the credit hour last Spring, this time they have disregarded the students from all of the State Colleges under their jurisdiction.

Mesa, Western , and Adams State Colleges' student governments joined Metro's in passing a resolution asking the Board of Trustees to support H.B. 1162 {Colorado Student Association 's state legislation that would give students a vote on the Board). At the recent Trustee meeting it was amended to "take no position" on the bill and, without even discussing the resolution , it passed unanimously.

This move, and the history of the trustees'

disregard for students' decisions, proves the critical need for a student voting position on the Board of Trustees. Without support from the Board it is critical that students make their voices heard at the state capitol in support of this bill.

H.B. 1162 has passed through the House and faces a tough battle at its upcoming hearing in the Senate Education Committee. Student support is critically needed to get this legislation passed.

Please call your state senator and ask them to actively support this bill. It's about time students had a VOTE.

Barb Ferrill ASMSCD Student Trustee-without-a-vote

Student defends speech teacher against accusation of racism What is racism? I th ink everyone has at least somewhat of a different view on what racism is. I know that those who are of darker skin color or different heritage have a better idea of what it is, but everyone knows what the word racism is.

What is reverse-racism? I know what this term is. I can give you an example.

Darold Kelley was a professor at MSCD and a very good one, in my opinion. Recently he resigned from the faculty because a student had accused him of being a racist. Darold Kelley now knows what reverse-racism is.

Reverse-racism comes in many forms just like racism itself, but when a student who has just been told she better come to class for a change or suffer the grade consequences immediately runs and says the teacher is racist, that is; reverse-racism.

Linda Lockett did not come to class. If Linda Lockett did come to class, she was late. If she was late, she did not come in quietly and sit down; she made a scene. She was told she better look at the syllabus or

pay the price and she did neither. She took off and cried racism.

Our school. Our fabulous school that says it can teach us lessons of academia, while life cannot teach us one thing, and that is how to stand up tor what is right.

Our school should have stood up and said, "we will not stand for harassment or threats wh ich a re unfounded." Instead they sat there and made Darold Kelley fight for his dream of teaching and did nothing to support him.

The case was clear. You had 20 or more students who were in the same class and they wanted Darold to get help instead of a bunch of people miss ing backbone.

Darold Kelley, I know you were in the right. MSCD, I know you were wrong. Linda Lockett - I know. I know, and everyone else should too.

Campus provides several spots for artists to display their talents

-.

ART ON AND OFF CAMPUS If you haven't heard, MSCD's art department was voted the best for art education in Colorado by Westward in 1992.

It shouldn't be surprising then, when sizing up the various institutional galleries and display areas provided by Auraria's three schools, to find an allotment of outstanding art available for the public eye.

The central art gallery on Auraria Campus is the Emmanuel Gallery, located north of the Student Union. The gallery is the oldest standing church structure in Denver, built in 1876. It was originally an Episcopal chapel, but was converted into a synagogue in 1903.

Eventually the building came into the ownership of Auraria and has been used as an art gallery for the three schools ever since.

The gallery gives three faculty art shows in the fall and three student arts shows, one by each of the schools, in the spring.

In addition, six to seven shows are given throughout the year featuring the works of local. regional and national artists.

On March 11, the gallery hosted to the opening of CCD's student art show.

"The students are real excited," said Carol Keller, the director of the Emmanuel Gallery.

The Auraria library also boasts its own "mini" gallery in its lobby.

Keller is also the director of this gallery.

"Its a real nice space because you can have a one person show," Keller said.

Every year, the Auraria Visual Arts Committee convenes to pour over the slides of art samples artists throughout the community have submitted, and who hope to be selected to display their work in the Auraria library.

"The exposilre is tremendous. The artists who show there are always pleased," Keller said.

The library is now showcasing the work of UCO professor of art Judith Thorpe called the "Self-Portrait Series."

Within the Arts Building is the UCO student art gallery in Room 167, and MSCD's student art gallery in Room 199. The building also houses several display cases where the best samplings from various art classes taught by all three schools are shown.

The stairwells in the Arts Building are used to display 3-D sculpture, and at times, more alternative spaces are used. Last semester, sculpture was designed by students to hang on the cement columns in the hallways of the building.

"People use anything that they can," said Susan Josepher, chairwoman for the MSCD art department.

Artists also have the opportunity to display their work in the lounge area of the Student Union.

Any people, groups or clubs are eligible to apply through conference services for use of the space, but generally the displays are related to Auraria in some way. For example, student activities sponsored the exhibit of the works of African-American artists during Black History Month.

The disabled student art show will be held in the Student Union beginning on April 5.

Off-campus is MSCD's Center for the Visual Arts, located at 1701 Wazee in lower downtown Denver.

The center was started in 1990 and was created as a gallery that would not only serve Auraria but the community at large.

"What is out_standing about this gallery is that we highlight regional as well as national artists," gallery Director Sally Perisho said.

Perisho added that an emphasis is put on exhibiting the works of ethnic minorities.

The gallery has an annual African American exhibit and frequently shows the works of Asian Americans and Chicanos/Latinos as well.

The gallery hosts two students shows annually, an Auraria senior thesis show and an exhibit of the works from various outstanding art students attending the state colleges.

This year's faculty show opened March 12 and runs to April 23.

- Hero Montilla

FACULTY ART SHOW It's nearly every art student's dream. And now that dream has become a temporary reality.

Students curious to see what makes their instructors tick - or otherwise scrutinize their work - have until April 23 to do so before it fades to black.

MSCD art instructors bare their souls in a faculty art exhibit now showing at the MSCD Center for the Visual Arts, 1701 Wazee St. in Denver.

About 200 MSCD students, faculty, alumni, friends and family took advantage of opening night March 12 to get their first look and give their first impressions. Their assessments of the art were just as different as the works themselves.

"I think it's really cool when, as a student, you can look back at the work of the teachers that taught you," said Jacque Williams, MSCD alumna, who earned her Bachelor's of Arts degree in journalism and her minor in art in 1991.

Williams did not have a favorite piece of art, she said, but others did.

Senior art student, Carol Cooper, bailed the sweet but sexy female portraits by Betty Shelton, a painting instructor.

"She's the best," Cooper said. ''The talent!"

Cooper's friend, Lynn Clayton, also a senior art student, agreed.

"I don't think there's any good or bad art," Ross said. "There's just different styles that I prefer."

And her preference was the monochromatic works of drawing instructor Jean Schiff - all created with a Middle Eastern flair.

"I like her work because it's painterly, yet it has structure," Ross said. .

"And that's something she's always tried to get us to do as students, and where I lack and am still working on."

While Ross sheepishly criticized the "plastic franring effect" of one artist's work, and other students did not care to divulge their least favorite work, Ross' mom, Mary Jane, saw no reason to hold back her opinion on a piece of artwork that dominated her vision.

NEW ART ON CAMPUS The Campus Art Committee met a few months ago to choose a suitable home for "Anona." The group wanted a place that would enhance its bright yellow color and discourage touching and vandal-

ism. A home was found, and "Anona" now overhangs the ledge at the top of the south stairs in the West Classroom.

"Anona," a sculpture by llrtist Margo Weber-Junod, is part of a donation to the Auraria Campus from the Denver Art Museum.

According to Bob Kronewitter, campus architect, what started as a request from Carol Keller of the Emmanuel Gallery to have art work displayed outside the gallery resulted in Auraria receiving several sculptures.

After contacting the Denver Art Museum for a donation for the gallery, the museum happened to have more sculptures than space at the museum for display.The Denver Art Museum also donated five other pieces.

Kronewitter said the art committee has to reevaluate the placement of the other works of art. One sculpture was supposed to be placed in front of the North Classroom until funding was received for an art project to be placed on that site. A Midwestern artist is currently working on 15 prismatic mirrors that will 路be placed in a semicircle outside the North Classroom. While the art committee is still pondering the placement of the other works of art, the Emmanuel Gallery does not have its exterior sculpture, but the West Classroom has "Anona."

Education, travel promised New MSCD study abroad trip to China offered

Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

China will have a major role in the 21st century and become an important player in world economics, said an MSCD music professor and President of Chinese Connection Inc ., which promotes intercultural communication between MSCD and Beijing Polytechnic University.

Professor Vernon Moody, a cosponsor of the first ever Metropolitan State College Chinese study tour, said students should take advantage of a trip to China.

"China is really beginning to make quite a push to get into the 21st century," Moody said. ''They really like Americans and want as much social intercourse as they can get with the U.S. promotional activity between myself and Beijing Polytechnic University."

Moody's organization and Beijing Polytechnic University have joined forces to promote a greater understanding

between the people of the United States and the People's Republic of China through education and travel.

"The Chinese are a very nice and gentle people," Moody says. "I really like the people and the opportunities the cultural exchange provides."

Scheduled to begin June 18 and to return August 10, the study tour will let students live in China for two months.

According to the China Connection Inc., the trip is not for the average tourist, as students will be required to live as the Chinese do by staying in Polytechnic University dorms, eating and traveling with the people and being a guest in one of the Communist Units.

"They'll see the faces of China," Moody says. "Everyone has a home, but the homes are small with anywhere from one to three generations living under the same roof." According to Moody, the average Chinese monthly income amounts to $30.00 no matter what the occupation.

"The businessman and the street sweeper

make the same amount," he said.

At a cost of $3,980 the study tour package includes visa fees, airline tickets, 8-12 semester hours of tuition, and books and fees at the Beijing Polytechnic University. All meals, public transportation passes and tickets to weekend events also • are included, Moody said.

For six weeks of the tour, students will live in student dormitories at the Beijing Polytechnic University and attend courses in Mandarin and Chinese culture and history.

"We'll take the train across China up to the ancient Eastern capitol of Xi'an," Moody says. Students interested in the study tour need to have a commitment and passport by April 16.

"We need more understanding in the world ," Moody said, adding that the barriers between the U.S. and China should come down.

For more information, call Moody evenings at 1-567-0430 or the China Connection at 698-9497.

'Runners drop double-header to Greeley Coach Porreco says simple mistakes plague young team Angie Reese Sports Writer

Although MSCD's baseball team feels they outplayed the University of Northern Colorado on Saturday, the Roadrunners still came home from Greeley with_a double defeat.

"We made a few mistakes and they capitalized on our mistakes," Head Coach Vince Porreco said.

The 'Runners lost both games of a double-header against UNC on March 13, losing the first game 14-4. They played the Bears a little tighter 1n the second game, but four costly errors caused the 'Runners to give up the win with a final of 7-4.

The 'Runners dropped their overall record to 3-1l.

"The team's a little down, " Porreco said. "We need to get the feeling back about winning and being a winner."

Although the 'Runners have started the season slowly, Porreco said the team is still so close to becoming successful.

"TheY need to keep working hard, keep a positive attitude and don't get down of themselves," he said.

"Usually when you start struggling, you start pressing, and you become afraid to make a mistake," Porreco added.

Porreco said he also has to keep a

The Runners coaches and players say the baseball team is a few steps away from consistently winning positive attitude and keep giving plenty of encouragement to the players.

Senior Eric Smith, a relief pitcher, said the team is not frustrated yet.

"It's still too early to be discouraged," he said. "A lot can happen in 40 games."

"No one is here anymore," Smith said. "I am not disappointed with the people we have, it is just hard trying to meet new people in my senior year."

that in mind, here are some expert (and I use the term loosely) predictions of their choices for the final four in New Orleans, April 3-5.

Greg Smith and Doug Montgomery, sports information gurus, both agree that Kansas and North Carolina will make it.

Smith likes Vanderbilt and looks for Kentucky to win it while Montgomery picks Seton Hall and Michigan to win it.

Our own sports editor, Chris Austin, uses his crystal ball to predict Kansas, Georgia Tech, Arkansas with Kentucky likely to win it. Two Roadrunner men in the middle agreer that North Carolina will reach. Dan Kennedy says the other three will be Arizona

made the Hoosiers just another team in the field.

With Henderson hurt, the thoughts of a favorite shifted to North Carolina. The neck injury to UNC starting point guard, Derrick Phelps, during the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament could put the Tar Heels on the same boat with the Hoosiers.

Michigan will have to avoid the dreaded sophomore jinx. If talent alone would win he national championship, then the Wolverines would be the team to beat; but in the past, talent bas not been enough to win it all. Just ask UNLV. Next is Kentucky. Their only question is how will they bounce back from the nightmare of Christian Laettner's turnaround jump-shot to steal the regional final for Duke.

In past years, this tournament has always featured at least one surprise entry into .the final four. Last year they were Cincinnati and Michigan.

This year, there are 16 teams that have a realistic shot at the final four. With

Florida State winning it. Allen " A-Train" ~· , McClain likes Kentucky , Georgia Tech, and Michigan to win it.

Aliliil Chris Caylor ey;r \, uses his divine influence from the Rocky Mountain News to predict North C a ro l i n a , Michigan, Duke, and Kentucky taking it.

Last and certainly not least, I like Cincinnati's run-and-gun style of play to return. Also, I pick the much overlooked defending champion Duke to return, and Kentucky will exorcis·e those Duke demons that have been haunting them all year. The winner will be the fab five from Michigan-no more wish again-Michigan as they will hoist the banner again-Baby!

As you can see, this tournament should have a lot to offer as just from seven people we have picked 13 teams to have a shot at the final four.

The winner of this poll will get to be called king prognosticator and wear the crown he rightly deserves.

Let the games begin. The only side is listening to three weeks of Dick Vitale.

Well, I guess nothing is perfect.
