Kaplan Strives for Improved Diversity, Communication Annual College Convocation Officially Introduces MSCD's First Woman President Jennifer Ann McMillin FEATURES EDITOR
New President Sheila Kaplan outlined her top five priorities for MSCD Sept. 21 during her fust State of the College Address at the College Convocation. Administrative reorganization, diversity, communication; and fundraising and development will be Kaplan's focus during her fust year as president. Kaplan's first priority, she said, will be administrative restructuring. Reorganization is necessary to "provide quality and cost-effective services to our students." Kaplan "The current administra~ tive structure at Metro is unnecessarily convoluted and not as efficient, customer-
oriented or accountable as it should be, or will be," Kaplan said. Further reorganization will take place after she chooses new vice presidents for Student Afffairs and for Academic Affairs, she said. David Williams, provost and vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, will be leaving his position June 30. Kaplan said MSCD's minority enrollment is at its highest rate ever, although minority student retention, graduation rates and faculty hiring need improvement. "We will use every program currently on the books at Metro to attract minority faculty and staff members," she said. Kaplan said she has met with members of the state legislature and community leaders to "learn more about their opinions of Metro ...and to understand the role they see the college playing in the growth and development of our region." Kaplan said she plans to be active in college fundraising activities and is working with the MSCD Foundation Board to agree on key fundraising priorities. Kaplan also stated her willingness to work coopera-
tively with the other two Auraria schools. Improving internal communications was Kaplan's final goal. 路 "The rumor mill at Metropolitan State College of Denver is alive and very, very well," she said. While she was vacationing this summer, she said she beard various accounts of what she had done, who she had fired and actions she would take on campus. Jokingly, she invited campus members to call her if they hear any good rumors, adding that she was always the last to hear them. "I am always interested in what is being sa id around the campus, and more importantly, I will be happy to provide accurate information if I have it." Her plans to improve communications include meeting regularly with leaders of the Faculty Senate, Student Government and other campus groups, and using campus electronic mail. Kaplan closed saying that her fust two weeks were exciting and fascinating. She praised the talented faculty and staff members and the impressive students she has met, as well as her optimism toward MSCD's future.

Minority .E nrollments Reach Record Level Jeffrey Michael Martinez STAFF WRITER

Ethnic minority enrollment at MSCD has increased by 46 percent in the past five years, and at 19.7 percent this fall, it is at its highest level ever. Accor9ing to the Fall 1993 Student Profile Summary report released by the department for Institutional Research, Hispanic students made the biggest increase in numbers over the past five years. There are 1,830 Hispanic students enrolled this semester, up from 1,277 in 1988 and 1,701 last fall. Native American students have the biggest percentage increase of any ethnic minority group in that time. The number of Native Americans students enrolled over the last five years has increased 118 percent. Since last fall, the number of Native American students at MSCD have increased by 15.8 percent. Other figures show that enrollment for both African and Asian American students have made significant gains at MSCD. The number of African American students grew more than 7 percent over the last year, and Asian American stu-
dents increased by 2.5 percent. Al Rodriguez, associate dean for Admissions and Records, said the figures were positive, but there was still room for improvement. "The figures are encouraging, certainly, but we need to find ways to not only enroll students, but to retain and ultimately graduate them," he said. The report also shows that there are 1,000 more women than men at MSCD, making up more than 53 percent of the entire student population. Most students are between the ages of 20 and 24, but the average age of the MSCD student remains 27. Students 40 and older make up 10 percent of the entire student body. Most students are full-time, taking 12 credit hours or more. Freshmen far outnumber any other class with 5,300 students. Seniors are the next highest population. Denverites make up 31 percent of the student population followed by 28 percent in Jefferson County. The report shows that less than 5 percent of students live in Boulder.
Romer Appoints New Trustees Jim Kehl THE METROPOLITAN
New trustees Cole Finegan and George Brantley said their first objective for their four-year appointments is to learn the ropes. Gov. Roy Romer appointed the pair to the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado Sept. 8, replacing attorney Gary Reiff and James Miller, president of Miller Advertising and Promotional Products. Aims C. McGuinness Jr. was reappointed to the board. "For the first six months I plan to listen closely and keep my mouth shut," Finegan said, adding that once he understands his responsibilities he will seek to make a contribution. Brantley said that once he becomes acquainted with the role of a trustee, he will " ... bring the concepts of quality, quantity and personality to the Board of Trustees." Finegan attended law school at Georgetown University and worked for James R. Jones, former chairman of the House Budget Committee. He also was Romer's chief legal counselor and director of policy from 1991to1993. He now works for the Jaw firm of Brownstein Hyatt Farber & Strickland and has been appointed to the Auraria board of directors. Brantley graduated from Western Michigan University and has done graduate work at several institutions including the University of Northern Colorado, DePaul University in Chicago and the University of Alabama.

Students Protest at President's Office

Concerned members of Auraria's minority factions protest outside of MSCD President Sheila Kaplan's office Thursday.
Jeffrey Michael Martinez STAFF WRITER
Dozens of protesters converged on MSCD President Sheila Kaplan's office Sept. 16 to present her with a list of demands given to former MSCD President Thomas Brewer in May. The Revolutionary Alliance, a coalition of students from ethnic minority groups including MEChA, the Black Student Alliance and the Metropolitan American Indian Students for Equality. are calling for reforms in the student gnevance process. a student retention programs aimed at students of color. and more scholarship availability. Although It was a peaceful gathering, at least six Auraria Public Safety officers awaited the protesters according to MSCD senior Alfonso Suazo, an alliance member. Kaplan had already left for the day by the time the group
arrived. Suazo said the officers' presence disturbed him. "We were offended that they thought we would have been disruptive or would have acted in any unethical manner," Suazo said. Among the demands submitted to Brewer and Kaplan was the creation of a student advocate position to assist students with the grievance process, and the separation of Affirmative Action director/assistant to the president position. The alliance hopes to call Kaplan· s attention to the demands, as Brewer' s response to the group that no problems existed was '·inadequate," Suazo said. He said the group was especially concerned about the low minority retention rates at MSCD. "We have a revolving door policy. see PROTEST page 4

STAFF WRITER
Debate in the Student Senate is heating up over whether MSCD Student Government should use part of its budget to help fund the United States Student Association (USSA), a national lobbying group that works as an advoca_!.e for student issues. Disputes arose over the USSA's platform and whether the Student Government budget can handle the $8,500 fee to fund it this year. The debate has Student Sens. Michael Wempen and David Sneed II, and Student Trustee Matthew Bates opposing Student Government President Barb Ferrill, who supports the association. USSA detractors say ,the group's platform, which has positions on gun control, gays in the military, affirmative action and national health care, is too broad to effectively represent students. "I do not want my student fees to pay for a lobbyist to push for legislation unrelated to student or academic affairs," Sneed said. "All students want to support
student rights, but not all agree on political issues." Wempen agreed with Sneed that the platform was far too broad to fairly represent MSCD students. "Some of the things they dealt with [at a USSA conference in Los Angeles] are just ridiculous...self-determination for Southeast Asian women and on and on and on," Wempen said. Ferrill, who has been a staunch supporter of USSA from the beginning, said the group does enough in the mainstream for students to justify the funding. "I think the concerns about the broadness of issues that USSA has worked on are relevant, but I think that we need to be involved and make it representative of [MSCD's] student body, and USSA has been very responsive to that," Ferrill said. USSA Vice President Stephanie Arellano said she is aware of concerns that the organization may be trying to accomplish too much. "The current policy platform is see USSA page 4

Senate, President at Odds About USSA Membership USSA from page 3 incredibly streamlined and it's much more educationally oriented and workable than it was a few months ago," she said. Bates said he is skeptical whether or not the group has changed its tune. Even if it has, he said, the group still has too many quotas and other "left-lean-
ing philosophies" to be representative of any student body. Wempen concurred. "The USSA leans so far to the left that it's hard to see them ever near to the middle, and those of us who attended the Los Angeles conference, with the exception of one person, had a very sour taste in
our mouths," he said. Sneed said many of the meetings and caucuses at the conference in Los Angeles were segregated, including conferences that dealt with issues for African Americans, the handicapped and gay students. "I'm not gay, black or handicapped,
which excludes me from 95 percent of USSA's caucuses," Sneed said. "A group paid to represent all students should represent all students." Last spring, 76 percent of MSCD students voted to allocate 25 cents from student fees to support the USSA, but now the Student Affairs Board is saying the money may have come out the Student Government budget instead, Ferrill said. In addition, MSCD is a member of the Colorado Student Association, a statewide student lobbying group. 1brough that membership, CSA's budget pays 5 percent of MSCD's dues for the USSA. The CSA represents MSCD and l 0 other colleges and universities in Colorado. Travis Berry, executive director for the CSA, said he hoped the issue would fade quickly. "I just wish students and senate members would get past this and focus on the real issues that affect Colorado's students," Berry said.

PROTEST from page 3 We can get students of color in, out we can't keep them in. It's difficult for them to succeed in an institution where there are no vehicles to retain them," he said. Kaplan said she had yet to review the group's list of demands, but said she hoped for constructive dialogue with the group in the future. "To be honest with you, I briefly looked at the report, but I'm looking forward to having a meeting with them and finding out what their issues are," Kaplan said after the protest. · Suazo said he is happy with Kaplan's response. "That's more that we've gotten from Dr. Brewer," he said. " ...We look forward to meeting with her."

Ferrill Working to Publish Faculty Evaluations Lisa Perry THE METROPOLITAN
Although the project is a workin-progress, MSCD faculty evaluations could become published as early as next spring, according to some Student Government members. "Spring is the goal" to begin publishing faculty ratings, MSCD Student Government President Barb Ferrill said. The idea, she said, " .. .is about my number-one priority as far as Student Government this year." Ferrill, Student Trustee Matthew Bates and Student Sen. and Oiairman of the Academic Affairs Committee for the Student Senate Sean Tonner, are working with faculty and administrators to implement the idea. Tonner said the teacher ratings would be published in a booklet that students could buy at cost, or funding could come from a student fee-funded account, Bates said. In addition, Tonner said, there are other issues to be worked out: content and wording of evaluation questions, the actual process of administering the evaluations, the tabulation of the results, and how to distribute the booklets to students without price mark-ups. MSCD students endorsed the idea in a vote last spring, he said. Bates, however, said students are concerned about faculty acceptance of the idea, and they want to make
sure faculty members are completely informed about every aspect of the project. Committee members agreed the process would probably begin on a trial basis with voluntary faculty participation. Ferrill said publication would initially be "more limited than we would like eventually." Students want to prove to faculty that publication is "something that's legitimate and can be done professionally," she said. Ferrill said she met with Jett Conner, MSCD associate vice-president of Academic Affairs, to discuss the idea. "I have no objection to students doing it," Conner said. "I would prefer to see it on a volunteer basis. They [students] need to figure out a way to pay for it....We will help them out on shaping questions and coordinate a means of distribution and tabulation." President of MSCD's Faculty Senate, Jerry Boswell, who has also met with the students, said publishing the teacher ratings is "in their [Student Government's] court." He said the Faculty Senate is waiting for students to present a rating sheet and their plan for administering the evaluations. MSCD's Institutional Research Department currently analyzes, writes and distributes evaluation reports to faculty , chairs of departments and
deans, said statistical analyst Tracey Carlson. Although Ferrill, Tonner and Bates expressed confidence about eventual faculty acceptance of the idea, some MSCD faculty were split on the issue. "It's very controversial in my department," said Marilyn Taylor, acting chair of the Secondary Education department. "Personally, I think it's a fine idea .. .it's an important piece of information that students need to know." She said there is concern among opponents of the issue that "teachers will become crowd-pleasers, and educational issues will take second place." Ken Keller, chairman of MSCD's Sociology, Anthropology and Social Welfare Department, said the evaluation form needs to be revised. "Unless we change the evaluation form, I would be against it. I would want an evaluation that both faculty and students would agree on as a useful tool," he said. Some faculty declined to comment on the issue. Tonner said students plan to meet with psychology faculty and Institutional Research personnel to agree on wording and content of the questions that will make up the evaluation. In November, he said, they hope to meet with faculty interested in volunteering to take part in the project.
CU-Boulder Evaluation Publication 'Mandatory' Ten years ago, before the budget crisis, MSCD published faculty evaluations. Student Sen. Sean Tonner said the practice was in place in the early 1980s, but became a victim of budget cuts and was dropped
He said other Student Government administrations tried to revive the idea, but were bogged down with details and "red tape." UCD prints evaluation results in its student handbook, and CU-Boulder has printed a booklet of its faculty ratings, at no additional cost to students, for years. "The process began about six years ago," said Patrkk Riley, executive of the University of Colorado Student Union (CU-Boulder's Student Government Association). Riley said that at CU-Boulder, the faculty evaluation and publication process is "mandatory and proctored...an entity of its own." He said the process is "so institutionalized" that it is almost entirely run by CU-Boulder's Research and Testing Department. "It's been organized so well, we [Student Government] just pay for it and send it out to Research and Testing," he said. Riley said initially the biggest problem was probably funding. The publication is currently paid for from a Student Government account made up of student fees, he said. The account is called Faculty Course Quality. Riley described the booklet as "one of the services students get for their student fees."

The intersection at 7th and Walnut streets becomes congested during peak traffic hours as Aurarians emerge from the Parking and Transportation Center and surrounding parking lots.
These phone calls are common for students at the beginning of the school year. It is one of the major goals of the students of Metro Connections to help students find their way to a successful school year.

Metro Connections is a service on campus that consists of students and faculty members.
Did you know that Metro Connections ... • has been in existence for three years? •has ten students as peers to the entire Metro community? • has two staff members, psychologists, at the Counseling Center, that are advisors to the group? • receives phone calls about topics such as financial aid, activities, relationships, career choice, addictions, and eating disorders? •is able to connect students to other "experts" in the community on a wide variety of topics? •seeks experts to help answer questions/letters on topics in which they are not familiar? The Metro Connections Peer Helpers are the ideal people to turn to when the only answers heard after painstaking time is spent is ·1 don't know the answer." Or, ·we don't do that in this office: The Peer Helpers are here to connect students to the correct office or person regarding the student service they are seeking . Being experienced students well versed in the processes the campus demands; the Peer Helpers can offer advice to fellow students. Peer Helpers receive training weekly by the experienced staff of the Counseling Center.

Some students on Auraria Campus said they are frustrated with traffic congestion on campus, and one student blames part of the problem on inconsiderate drivers. "People are inconsiderate drivers on campus. You get frustrated because people don't let you in, so you start to be inconsiderate yourself," said Sondra Moore, a sophomore at MSCD. The intersection at 7th and Walnut streets is busiest during the peak times, according to Jim Ferguson, director of community services for Auraria Higher Education Center. There is no green arrow, and depending on the time of day it is, it resembles the last scene from the movie, "Field of Dreams," where hundreds of cars are lined up for miles. Mark Gallagher, director of parking services for AHEC, said the light is controlled by the city and is not programmed
for specific times of the day. He said only minor adjustments have been made to the light, such as extending the green light on Walnut Street for a few more seconds. Moore said the light should have green arrows because she said she is always afraid that the car on the other side of the intersection is coming at her. She said traffic is the worst at 2 p.m. Gallagher said this is because there are approximately 600 cars leaving the Parking and Transportation Centre. There are ways to avoid some of the heavy congestion on campus besides taking the bus, Ferguson said. "People want to park close [to campus] and they can avoid some of the congestion by parking farther out. Come in early and leave later," Ferguson said. Although students are frustrated with the· traffic,no accidents have been reported, Ferguson said. Gallagher suggests taking Colfax Avenue to Interstate-25 instead of Auraria Parkway to avoid the congestion

Pro-Hemp Activist Promotes Harvesting Plant For Fuel $50 to $60 per month Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN
If Agua Das bas bis way, you and your car will be smoking pot in a few years-legally. "Hemp can save the planet," said Das, a member of the Biomass Energy Foundation Press in Boulder, during a meeting Monday on the Auraria campus. The meeting was sponsored by the MSCD chapter or NORML, the National Organi. zation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Das was touting the use of various biomass fuels, which include hemp and hemp-seed oil. In his presentation, "Seven Ways Around the Gas Pump," Das introduced biomass fuels as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Wood and corn are also considered biomass fuels, be said. · Hemp, which is the proper term for marijuana, is illegal in the United States except in refined forms, such as cloth, rope or sterilized seeds. According to Das, hemp can be grown and harvested like any other crop. Once harvested, the seeds of the plant are compressed and the oil is extracted. One acre of hemp plaQts, Das said, can yield four tons of seeds and more than 300 gallons of oil for fuel. Das also touted hemp's use over trees as a fuel source. "Wood produces one ton per acre and can only be harvested once every 30 years compared to hemp's lO tons per acre, per year," Das said.
At that rate, a one-acre plot of hemp would produce 300 times as much fuel over a 30-year period as would an equalsized plot of trees, be said. Das, who has a bachelor's degree in engineering from The Case Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, said he began bis . research into biomass fuels about 15 years ago. "I started by converting a Briggs and Stratton engine to run on wood chips," he said. From there, he began bis research into use of hemp as a fuel source. He is trying to raise money to further research into the use of biomass fuels. "We don't have contemporary information on hemp growing," he said, pointing out that most of the information he cited was obtained from a study published in the American Midland Naturalist in 1975 by the University of Notre Dame. In addition to being an alternative energy source, Das cited many other uses for hemp. Hemp-seed cake, the residue left after compressing the oil from the seeds, can be used for baking. The fibers from the plant can also be woven into cloth or rope. Hemp-seed oil can also be used as a wood finish. At a cost of $100 per gallon, however, hemp-seed oil is too expensive to be considered a viable alternative to fossil fuels. "This is why we need to raise awareness about the possibilities of hemp," Das said.

Student Asks Vice President Lemak to Resign I would like to ask the student body of MSCD to support me when I ask for the immediate resignation ~f Vice President Lucian Lemak. I feel that Mr. Lemak has no business representing me or my fellow student body based on his actions as reported by The Met over the past year. Stealing kegs, check forgery, misuse of funds and the inability to maintain a minimum GPA is more in line with the activities of a sophomoric fraternity boy than that of a student body ~ice president. MSCD is a unique institution and serves an audience with different needs than those of a traditional four year college. Lucian Lemak in my opinion neither represer;its nor is he effectively serving our student body. And shame on you Barb Ferrill, you are supposed to be the leader. To me, a leader takes charge when the going gets tough , and stands up when

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Student National Education Association officers Susan Shaw and Luz McClure, and SNEA faculty sponsor Dr. Leslie Swetnam, to thank all those students, faculty and staff on the Auraria campus for donating school supplies to the needy school children in the Denver metro area. This is the first year ~hat the SNEA has joined KCNC Channel 4 and the United Way in their Making the Grade school supply drive. I hope that this is only the beginning of a long tradition for the drive on the Auraria campus. Thanks also to the people who volunteered their time to hand out flyers for the drive as well as the Auraria Book Center staff for their support and cooperation. Although there is no immediate gratification of the effect, the long-term result is a positive one. Terre Trupp President, SNEA
called upon. Ms. Ferrill, if you can honestly say that stealing and lying are OK then I guess you will make a good politician, and you will be right in line with all the others. But this is not what I heard from you last spring when you stood outside the Student Union and solicited my vote, or what I read in your campaign literature. Mr. Lemak it is time for your resignation . Why stay when you aren't going to be paid because you can not even maintain the minimum GPA set by the school? Mr. Lemak, do you want an education or do you want to have fun? Please, for the students, go somewhere else and disgrace their student body. But the truth is with your rap sheet and track record I doubt they would let you in. Robin K. Inagaki MSCD Student
Student Representative Apologizes for Decision After much thought and deliberation it has become obvious to me that I owe you, the student body, an apology. During this summer several members of Student Government, including myself, attended an United States Student Association Conference during the dates of July 27-August 1. In the middle of this conference I made the decision to spend an afternoon at Magic Mountain Theme Park. Although no student fees were spent on this endeavor and I did not miss any workshops, this decision in retrospect was wrong. I make you this promise, I will learn from this mistake and work harder in the future to serve you. Matthew Bates Student Rep. to the State Colleges Board of Trustees

Peter Gabriel's World of Music, Arts and Dance Brings a Variety of Musicians to Fiddler's Green Jeff Stratton THE METROPOLITAN
eter Gabriel' s three-ring circus came to town last Thursday, Sept. 16 at Fiddler's Green. Those who waded through the mud and sat through the rain that threatened to dampen spirits early in the evening were provided with a multi-cultural experience. WOMAD; or World of Music, Arts and Dance; was started by Gabriel in 1982 as a way of introducing to a wider audience the various brands of world music that have influenced hi s own work. Eleven years later, he has finally been able to bring the WOMAD festival to the United States. Denver was one of nine cities where the festival made a stop. The Fiddler's show was set up with three different stages: the main stage and two areas flanking the arena outside the theater. One area featured a large performance stage and a plethora of food and crafts booths. The food was not terribly exotic (unless chicken fajitas are your idea of ethnic cuisine) and fairly expensive ($6 was the average price for food). The third area featured Virtual Reality Village and an area of workshops on dance, drumming and costume making. There was also the obligatory piercing booth. One performer demonstrated an electrode-controlled, muscle-activated

musical instrument that he played by flexing the muscles of his arms and legs. The intensity of his movements regulated the volume and pitch of the different sounds he was triggering. "There's only six of these in the world," he said, "and Laurie Anderson owns one." Anderson is a musician noted for her visual performances. The variety of musical acts was nothing short of astounding . The Irish/ Chinese/Japanese group Trisan played a striking blend of new-age sounds, Asian polyrhythms and the amazing Drummers of Burundi got the crowd on their feet as lightning and thunder punctuated their percussion onslaught and the reggae band Inner Circle presented their bit " Bad Boys." Gabriel 's 75-minute set was an abbreviated version of his Secret World show, which stunned a sold-out audience at McNicbols in July. No phone booth or video headgear this time, no twin stage set-up or fancy props, Gabriel let the songs coast on the strength of his band's musicianship. Sinead O'Connor, looking like Gabriel's kid sister, handled backup vocals on every song except "Solsbury Hill." Gabriel deserves credit for orchestrating this event, a global-village Lollapalooza that may finally open up more eyes (and ears) to the incredible treasure of music that exists all over the world.

Food and Drug Administration Battles with Health Fo(] Jean E.R. Straub EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
o people in the natural health care industry, it is an issue of "Big Brother" Food and Drug Administration busting into health food stores to snatch up herbal teas and squash nontraditional health care options. To the FDA, it is a clear cut case guarantee the safety and accurate labeling of all vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids. The FDA said many dietary supplements boast unsubstantiated claims at best and are very harmful at worst. Each has its own legislation. The legislation recently introduced by the FDA would significantly alter the safety standards in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by switching the burden of proof of the safety of food ingredients from the manufacturer to the FDA. The FDA would have tighter control. The natural health care industry, doubting the motives behind the FDA legislation and wanting continued freedom of choice, answered the FDA's efforts with its own legislation, the "Dietary Supplement, Health and Education Act of 1993." "These pieces of legislation, if passed, will allow Alfalfa ' s (a health food store) and other retailers across the country to continue buying and selling dietary supple-
T
ments, having access to information, promoting research of preventative health care, and establishing guidelines for scientifically valid health claims about dietary supplements," said Elizabeth Agren, Alfalfa's nutrition coordinator, in an Alfalfa's flyer urging shoppers to call and write their legislators. The headline on the flyer: "Your Freedom to Choose Alternative Health Care is Being Threatened. The FDA's Interpretation of The Nutritional Labeling and Education Act Could Threaten Many Supplements, Teas and Herbal Remedies." The FDA denies that it is trying to make vitamins and minerals available only by prescription. Vitamins and minerals, comprising more than 80 percent of the dietary supplement market, raise no particular safety concerns so long as they are sold without claims as cures for diseases and at reasonable potencies, according to Maria Velasco, FDA public affairs specialist. "When it comes to dietary supplements, the position of the FDA is straightforward: Dietary supplements should be safe, and any health claims on their labels or in promotional literature should be scientifically valid," Velasco said. The FDA, which acknowledged that some groups have accused it of attempting to restrict the rights of consumers, denied
the aliegations and said it "fully supports" not be used for fear of reprisal from the freedom of choice. FDA said, "the FDA is kind of sneaky" and "However, questions exist about bow jumps on anyone who comes out publicly. real or free that choice actually is when One doctor's office was raided by the Ft>A some of the disease-related claims on because he was giving B- 12 shots and the product labels are not scientifically valid B-12, imported from Germany, contained no preservaand some of tive.

orsese's Adaptation of 'The Age of Innocence' Presents tavish Illustration of Love Among the Bourgeoisie

tDITOR
fhe Age of Innocence," Martin rsese's and Jay Cocks' screenplay ctively uses Edith Wharton's Ian> transform an old plot into an opulent 1iece about the struggle between love 1tations.
No movie could match Wharton's style, but the voice-over of Wharton's narrative from the pulitzer-prize winning novel provides tastes of her sarcasm and eloquence. This adaptation, directed by Scorsese, is neither an action-packed adventure nor a risque romance, but an attempt to resurrect an era and the kernel of an author's life's work. Wharton, like her old-money contemporary, Henry James, focused on revealing the
decadence and moral uselessness of upperclass pride and tradition. Scorsese illustrates this theme symbolically by using the camera to emphasize the physical wealth in dark, Rembrandt-like richness in the homes of these well- and not-so-well respected families. He uses blindingly bright lighting to imply honesty and purity. The rhythmic prose is matched by syncopated cinematography. Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) falls in· love with his fiancee's cousin on the eve of his engagement to May Welland (Winona Ryder). Newland and May are both from substantial lineage and he is about 15 years older than his debutantish bride-to-be. May's cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer), is newly returned to America from a failed marriage to a Polish count. Rumors suggest she had an affair with her husband's secretary. Although he is a sensitive man who outwardly defends Ellen's reputation and right to leave her husband, Newland is loyal to his schooling in the importance of conformity. As her lawyer, he advises the countess against divorce. Ellen's natural assertiveness is preserved by living for years away from New York high society. She has a foreigner's amazement at the social pretenses and English formality. "It seems stupid to discover America only to make it a copy of another country," she comments. 1 ~ She ignores the soci3l etiquette and comes across to the snobbish bourgeoisie as a
brash woman. Pfeiffer again proves her versatility as the countess who is honest, gentle and at the same time sensual. Despite his restraint, Day-Lewis succeeds in displaying Newland's romantic frustration magnificently. The emotional pain is physically obvious on his face. The love between the two is instantly recognizable. With infuriating discipline Newland reverts to chronic inaction after sporadic passionate professions and acts of love. Ryder seems to fade into the background in this outwardly passive role. Although May supposedly learns quiet manipulation, Ryder's portrayal is flat and annoying. There are a few awkward scenes in this movie, where the characters are shown speaking what are supposed to be their written words in letters. Overall, Scorsese's attention to detail is exhaustive, from paintings to choice of soundtrack music to the elegant dinners. The film is a banquet of aesthetics which purposely avoids anything physically unpleasant. In this way it veers dramatically from Scorses's brutal visuals in "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas," but the evasion is an artful use of symbolism that works well in this film of sexual tension, deliberate regression and compelling romantic irony. "The Age of Innocence" is a De Fina/ Cappa Productions film presented by Columbia Pictures. It is showing at Landmark's Mayan Theatre.

ci Stores Over Possible Dietary Supplement Regulations · her is freedom to choose. "I feel the FDA is trying to overregulate. I think they have too ipuch power as it is," she said. - She said she has heard horror stories from chiropractors in which the FDA finds , out about a chiropractor who was thought to be "pushing food supplements." The FDA thought he was creating a problem because he would recommend a suppleMent to his patients over a drug, she said. The FDA went in force like a vice squad to break up his business and shut him down, she said. Curcio said she suspects that the pharmaceutical companies would directly ~~fit from the FDA regulation. The FDA admits to product seizures and warning letters, but defends the activity: "Because of current legal and regulatory framework, the FDA exercises oversight on the dietary supplement if,ldustry on a case-by-case basis." The FDA cites specific cases of death and injury from products other than vitamins and minerals. The amino acid Ltryptophan claimed 38 lives and injured 1,500 other consumers several years ago, Velasco said. While a contaminant appears to have been responsible, FDA scientists have not ruled out that the L-tryptophan itself played a direct role. . Rebecca Lee, an Auraria Campus switchboard operator and amateur herbalist,
said the L-tryptophan scare was caused by an impurity in a single batch that made five people sick. Moreover, herbal remedies are labeled and known to be closely monitored, she said. "You won't find that in traditional drugs." But the Center for Disease Control, which publishes a weekly alert about rapidly developing health problems of which physicians should be aware, recently reported that three Denver children got into their parents' supply of Jin Bu Huan, an imported Chinese herb, according to Dr. Richard Dart, Rocky Mountain Poison Center director. The children were exposed to a drug, and one child bad to be on a respirator. The pills contained a chemical called Tetrahydropalmitate, a general anesthetic, and were 30 or 40 percent of this single chemical by weight, Dart said. "This chemical doesn't grow in this concentration in any plant known to man." The product was sold over-the-counter at Alfalfa's. Alfalfa's took the position that parents shouldn't let kids get into medications of any kind, Dart said. A Poison Center staff member checked several health food stores. All the stores had it in stock at first, Dart said. A few weeks later, no one had it. Dart said the FDA had the product removed. Dart said he is not specifically an FDA backer but agreed all products should be
accurately labeled. The Jin Bu Huan did not even contain the plant it said it contained, he said. Any consumer bas the right to know whether or not claims are justified. Lee said she agreed somewhat with the FDA's need to regulate, especially with imports, which are probably not monitored closely enough. "There are a lot of quacks out there who have been making a great deal of money. I can see the need to set up a regulatory board so that those types of people are not allowed to prey on those people who are less than adequately able to make decisions," she said. Lee said she has
always had an interest in herbal medicine and is thankful that she can brew willow bark tea herself instead of taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen, which she said her body chemistry rejects. She takes herbal blcrod pressure medicine and said the claims it makes are valid. Cautions are on the label, she said. To boot, herbal medicines are less expensive and boast fewer side effects, she said. When she has a headache, she pulls out the wintergreen and makes tea. It works faster than aspirin, and she has to take less of it, she said.

Maya Angelou Shares Evening of Poetry, Song and Sto.r y Jean E.R. Straub EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Maya Angelou makes her opening remarks to a full house.
Renaissance woman Maya Angelou, the poet, educator and best-selling author who was selected to write and deliver the Inaugural Poem for President Clinton, spoke to an audience of 2,000 Friday, Sept. 17, at the Auditorium Theater in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Angelou shared an evening of poetry, song and story; and left the audience moved by her wisdom and dynamic personality. She introduced herself as a communicator. "At our best we are trying to communicate. At our best we 're saying we 're more alike than we are unalike," Angelou said. She urged the audience, especially young men and women, to seek out and study African American poetry because it is seldom taught and little-known. She credited African Americans and their poetry with survival. African Americans are "still the last hired and the first fired," she said. Asking the audience, "How have these people survived?" Angelou said the
answer is in the poetry. " African-American poetry is very important, and everybody should be aware of it and make use of it," Angelou said. "You need to know someone was there before you." She urged young men and women to go to the library "tomorrow." Students should read African American writer Langston Hughes and put his work back into currency, she said. Read everything, she urged - "Put it in the old bean." "Knowledge puts starch in your backbone," she said. "It's imperative that each of us has something we ·can lean against." She said people who do not know any better would write that "white people make love" while "the blacks, browns and beiges have sex," often and "always successfully." She buried the notion by reading a string of her favorite romantic love poems by African Americans. She detailed some of her own struggles to illustrate how people may be brutalized and yet survive somehow with passion, compassion, humor and style. After early childhood in Stamps,

Peggy Olono and her brother Jim treasure the time they have spent on the Auraria campus. Peggy works in the admissions and records office of MSCD. Jim earned an Associates degree from the Community College of Denver. For most people, Auraria is a convenient place to teach, study or administer. For the Olonos, it is more than a center of higher education. For Peggy and Jim, it's where they grew up. "The neighborhood was like family," Peggy Olano said. "It's your childhood and you're going to remember them (neighbors) regardless of whether your neighborhood is knocked down or not," Jim Olano said. "But those memories are even more special when you think about the neighborhood being gone." About 50 people gathered along Ninth Street Park Saturday Sept. 18 for a reunion of residents who were moved from what is now the Auraria Campus. "It wasn't Auraria back then. It was the West Side," Santos Blap said. "And we must always remember, they can take us out of the West Side, but they can't take the West Side out of us." Blan lived on the West Side 30 years ago and helped organize Saturday' s reunion . He is now a CCD accounting professor. Blan and other organizers of the Displaced Aurarians Reunion used the
event to pressure school officials to follow through on unwritten '"promises.. made at the time of displacement. John Nieto, president of the Displaced Aurarians Association, was born in a home once located at l 022 1l th St. "Before the displacement occurred in 1973, various school officials, politicians, Denver Urban Renewal Association representatives· and other people who were negotiating for this area made comments to the effect that people who were to be displaced from here would benefit, or have preferential advantages when these institutions were finally built," Nieto said. "Our premise is that these recommendations were made during negotiations, and now we just want to hold the schools accountable for them," he said. Speakers from the three schools and the Auraria Higher Education Center addressed the group of displaced Aurarians at a welcoming ceremony in St. Cajetan's Center. Jett Conner, MSCD associate vice president for academic affairs, welcomed the group on behalf of MSCD's new president, Sheila Kaplan. Conner is also chairman of the Displaced Aurarians Committee, a group composed of representatives from each school on the Auraria campus. The committee was formed to examine proposals for scholarships for displaced Aurarians and make recommendations to the chief executives at each school. "I pledge to you that our committee will continue to work honestly and
13
straightforwardl y to try to provide some short-term and then. hopefull y. long-term solutions that will provide the educational opportunities that you seek," Conner said. Blan and Nieto explained that events before the actual demolition of the homes should be considered part of the displacement. They contend that the neighborhood was neglected by the city beginning in the 1950s, as a part of a longrange plan. "At that point in time the decision was to just let it deteriorate," Blan said. "As a result it became a less desirable community to live in."
Blan admitted that some people called the West Side a slum, but said, "There was poverty here, but it was in terms of economics and not The Metropolitan/Andy Cross of the mind or spirit." Nieto resents that some Corinne Montoya, formerly of 1061 9th Street, people have characterized the reminisces with other displaced Aurarians. former residents as simply fighting for more scholarships for German and Irish backgrounds also lived in the neighborhood. Hispanics. Despite some bitter feelings, former "Our position is that anyone who was displaced from this area, regardless of residents took the opporLunity to spend their ethnic background is entitled to time with friends and family and reminisce.

There, when she was about 7 years old, someone close to the family raped her. She was afraid to name the rapist for fear he would be killed, but her brother talked her into identifying him. The man stayed in jail one day and was murdered after being released. The police officer who notified the family said the man looked like he had been kicked to death. Angelou thought her voice had killed hlm and did not speak for more than six years. She returned to Arkansas to live with her grandmother. African American children in the South perform in church especially on
Christmas and Easter, and Angelou, during her silence was memorizing poems and other literature. Her love of the great works finally returned her voice to her at age 12. However, she had been memorizing Shakespeare and her grandmother would not let her recite the work of a white man. "I know that Shakespeare wrote for me ... he had to be thinking of me," she

SPORT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Women's V-Ball Still Undefeated, Ranked #5 in Nation Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR
The women's volleyball team beat fourth-ranked University of Northern Colorado Saturday night in three straight games to maintain their undefeated standing. The Roadrunners took UNC down 15-3, 15-11 and 15-9. MSCD moved up to fifth in the national rankings this week. UNC dropped to sixth. Tracy Thompson had an excellent match with 17 kills and 8 digs. Her hitting percent was .406 for the day. Chelsea Terrell also played well with 16 kills and 4 digs. Her hitting percent was .323. Crissy Canada was not sitting on the bench either. She made a giant contribution to the win with her LL kills, 4 digs and .526 hitting percent. "I was pleased with everyone's performance. It was fun, and we played so great," McMullen said. The coach said the Roadrunners started out slow, and they cannot afford to do that. She said other teams will jump on them early, and MSCD will end up losing. Friday evening the Roadrunners played the University of Denver and beat them in four games. MSCD lost the first one 13-15, but then came back and won the next three,
L
15-10, 15-11and15-7. Tracy Thompson maintained her high statistics with 23 kills, 25 digs and a .400 hitting percent. McMullen brought Debbie Guck in to play for the second game, and McMullen said she was "a nice stabilizer for us." Guck had 9 kills and 12 digs. Canada took her share of the glory with 15 kills, 3 digs and .500 hitting percent. McMullen said MSCD didn ' t play that well during the first game and that could have hurt them. "DU is scrappy and they always play us tough," McMullen said, adding that MSCD lost to DU twice last year. McMullen is happy that MSCD only Jost one game to DU, even though it was the first game MSCD had given up to an opponent. "They'll (DU) be tough in the CAC (Colorado Athletic Conference) this year," McMullen said, adding that she is glad they have already played DU. McMullen said that during the first game of that match, DU jumped out to an 8-0 lead. "They served us off the court during that first match," McMullen said, adding, MSCD caught up, and the game was tied at 8-8 for a long time. McMullen explained that the win was
important for MSCD because in the past MSCD has won the first two games against DU and then turned around and lost the match. MSCD played the University of Southern Colorado Tuesday afternoon and beat them in three straight games, 15-1, 15-7 and 15-6. The team remains undefeated, although McMullen was not happy with the USC win. "We won, but it was not pretty to watch ," McMullen said. This weekend is the Colorado Challenge Volleyball Tournament. MSCD will play fourthranked Bakersfield at 7 p.m. on Friday and The Metropolitan/Jane Raley third-ranked North 7 Dakota State at p.m. Tracy Thompson slams the ball over the net, duron Saturday in the HPER building.

The women's soccer team upset two nationally ranked teams during a tournament in New York last weekend. The Roadrunners beat fourth place Adelphi University 3-2 in overtime. Jennifer Duran had two goals in regulation time, scoring the second one with seven minutes left to play, tying the match at 2-2. Deborah Sopashe kicked the winning goal two minutes into overtime. Coach Ed Montojo said Adelphi was extremely strong for the first half, but that "all the running MSCD did at Red Rocks in the preseason helped the Roadrunners maintain their stamina during the match." "They [Adelphi] started to run out of gas during the second half," he said. Adelphi was ranked second in the nation last year and has been one of the best teams in the East for the last five years, Montojo said. Describing the match, Montojo said, "Our ball movement was good and our style of play really confused them [Adelphi], and they couldn't keep up with us." The next day of the tournament, MSCD played Long Island University at Southhampton, beating them 1-0 and upsetting them and their national rank of 17th. Montojo said the game was not as
close as the score indicates. "They [Southhampton] never got a shot off in the second half," Montojo said. The Roadrunners were drained and tired, but their technical and tactical abilities were still far superior to Southhampton, Montojo said. "They [Roadrunners] didn't lose their composure, and they stayed focused," Montojo said. Comparing last weekend to the women's first game against Colorado College a couple of weeks ago, Montojo said the team is much better now.
"All the running we did at Red Rocks in the preseason helped the Roadrunners maintain their stamina." -Coach Ed Montejo Colorado College is one of the top teams in Division I and has been for the last eight years. Montojo said some of the younger players were intimidated by that and didn't play to their potential. "Each game we get more confident and understand each other better," he said. MSCD beat Colorado Christian University 4-0 in Lakewood, on Sept. 15, before playing in New York. Rosie Durbin and Jennifer Duran

-Men's Soccer Brings Home First Win, First Loss Kristin Sauls L
SPORTS EDITOR
The men's soccer team brings home its first win and its first loss after last week's matches. MSCD beat Colorado Christian , University 3-0, but were brought down by the Air Force 2-1. During the CCU match, sophomore Brett Ryals hit the first goal unassisted. Freshman Wade Schaefer scored the second goal, assisted by junior Billy Kawamura. Senior Leonard Trujillo ~- kicked in the third, assisted by sophomore Jeremy Loring. Coach Al Ashton said the third goal was "the prettiest goal we've scored this season; it was an outstanding serve and a classic finish." -. "The only deficiency we had during the game was that we should have shot more goals," Ashton said, adding, "the shots were there, we just had a lack of great finishing." "We dominated every phase of the ;.. game," Ashton said, and he added that he is happy the team brought home its first win. Ashton said the Air Force Academy was not an easy opponent and gave the Roadrunners their first loss 2-1. MSCD is now 1-1-2. Schaefer, assisted by Kawamura, scored MSCD's only goal in the Air Force game. Schaefer had good composure to finish accurately, and Kawamura had real quickness down the side, keeping his man from getting the ball, Ashton said. "Our team has gotten better every game," he said, adding, "the first 30 minutes of that game were the best we have ever played." However, Ashton said he was particularly disappointed with the loss. Air Force scored their second shot on a penalty Ashton thought was "unfair and uncalled for." Goalie Andy Mosier apparently tried to block a shot and in the process hit the player attempting the shot, Ashton said. 'Mosier came down on the opponent a little hard, "physically abusing him a tad," Ashton said. The referee overreacted and gave Air Force a penalty shot, on which they scored, he said. "We dominated a majority of the game and didn't deserve to lose that one.
We finally found the ~hemistry we wanted," Ashton said. Injuries on the men's team are minimal now, and Ashton attributes the overall health of the team to its fitness and

stretching program. The Roadrunners are preparing to go to Durango, and Ashton said he is looking forward to playing Ft. Lewis. "Ft. Lewis is surprisingly strong this year, and they have the home field advantage, which is really an advantage there," Ashton said. In Durango they have to play on a football field, which is more narrow

Roadrunners Win ,,,. · SOCCER from page 16 each had two goals in that match . Montojo said it was a good send-off for the trip to New York. The only thing hindering the coach's confidence in his team now is his injured list, he said. Cindy Roush, who had a knee scope last month, is out for the season. Honey Marquez may have torn some ligaments in her left knee during the Southhampton match. Deborah Sopashe hurt a knee against Southhampton, Julie Russell twisted an ankle and may be out a week, and Jennifer Duran got hit in the shins and had to go to the hospital for a bone bruise.
