Employee Under Arrest in Book Store Theft Temporary Check Approval Clerk Allegedly Sold 10 Books for the Price of Three Jean E. R. Straub STAFF WRITER An Auraria Book Center employee was arrested Ian. 26 and charged with petty theft after he allegedly assisted in the selling of $157 worth of books to a student for $48, according to an Auraria Police report.

Roy L. Peeples, a temporary check approval employee at the book center, is ordered to report to Denver District Court by Feb. 9.

Peeples declined to comment on the incident until after his court appearance. He has three warrants out for his arrest, two for failure to appear for speeding violations and the other for failure to appear for a theft charge, according to an Auraria Public Safety report.

MSCD student Travis Perry said he approached an employee at the check approval table at the book center Jan. 26. The employee asked him about his purchases.

"He struck up a brief conversation with me, and he asked me if I was going to spend a lot for books. 1 said

that I was, and I said something about that it's pretty expensive for me, that it was going to be hard for me to pay for [them]," Perry said.

Perry s~id the .clerk told him to get his books and go to a specific register.

Perry said he went to.register No. 1 with more than 10 books. After the cashier rung up the books, which totaled about. $157, the cashier shot a glance at the clerk, Perry said.

The clerk approached the register and asked Perry, "~ow would you like a discount on your books?" Perry said. .

The cashier canceled the amount he had originally rung up and then rang up a lesser amount, which Perry later learned was the price of only three of the books, about $4 8, he said.

"Then he [the clerk) asked me for $40," Perry said. . Not fully understanding what was happening, Perry said he thought the clerk wanted him to pay $40 extra

to get the discount.

"I didn't get it at all," Perry said.

He told the clerk that he didn't have $40 cash on him. In fact, all he had was one check, Perry said.

"In a way it's good that I didn't understand because if I had understood what he was saying to me'. and I said something right away, then he could have denied it," Perry said. "But he'd already rung up the three books, and I'd already walked out of the line."

The clerk walked Perry out of the bookstore and asked him for $40, Perry said, but Perry told the clerk he did not have it,. Perry said the clerk was- dismayed and told Perry to come back the next day.

Perry said he returned to the book center a few hours later and reported the incident to book center management, and they contacted APS. Book center management said they had no additional information.

Perry said the book center gave him a $50 gift certificate.

AHEC to Hire Parking Consultant Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR On the heels of an investigation into missing parking funds, the Auraria Higher Education Center will be hiring both a parking consultant and an auditing finn to look into matters of cash handling of all Auraria services, said one AHEC administrator.

At the Jan. 31 Auraria Board of Directors meeting, JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of Administration, said AHEC ~ will hire outside finns to review cash management in parking and broaden the review of all cash management at Auraria. ''We obviously are most interested in making sure...that the processes we use are secure," Soker said.

More than $133,000 in debit card revenue is unaccounted for from July 1991 to June 1993, according to AHEC's financial -; records of debit card usage and sales.

Soker, however, said a specific dollar amount could not be pinned down.

"We are still unable to verify exactly what the dollar amounts were."

AHEC has conducted a "belt and suspenders review" into <-' the parking accounting procedures, Saker said.

Larry Drake, director of Administrative and Business Services, along with accounting personnel, were asked to do another assessment of the debit card procedures and have made additional recommendations, Saker said.

A whole series of recommendations were made to make

sure that the money collected is the money that is recorded, Drake said. In addition, safety procedures were written up and are now in effect, he said.

In addition, AHEC will hire two consultants within the week, Drake said. One consultant will focus on parking revenue controls and the other will review cash handling procedures in other areas of the campus.

"They [parking consultants] are experts in the field, and especially in the area of the debit card machine and the technology involved," he said.

Drake said he expects the cost to be no more than $15,000 for both consultants.

A lot of the review work has been done internally, Drake said, which can reduce the cost of hiring the consultants.

King Trimble, chainnan of the Auraria Board of Directors, requested that consultants produce a report on their findings.

Drake said a report from the parking consultant could be ready within two weeks of the contract being signed. The audit firm could have their report ready by the end of March.

Three parking employees were fired last month for "failure to follow procedure" and ''willful misconduct," as a result of the Auraria Public Safety investigation into the missing funds, Saker said. None of the employees, however, are being accused of theft, she said.

All three employees have since appealed their terminations, and AHEC will be attending hearings on the appeals this month, Soker said.

CAMPUS CoPIRG will undertake the issues of recycling, hunger and homelessness, energy, endangered species, and Earth Day this semester. Awareness is only the beginning, according to CoPIRG members.

In Colorado, plastic packaging makes up 20 percent of the solid waste stream by volume, and, despite recycling efforts, more than 90 percent of the plastics ends up in landfills, the group said.

Between 1990 and 1992 the number of homeless in Colorado increased by about 89 percent, according to CoPIRG members.

Educational events, letter writing campaigns, petition drives, news conferences, research and district meetings with elected officials will focus on these issues.

Students can receive course credit as CoPIRG interns during the semester.

Church and State Debate Continues Brian S. Terrett THE METROPOUTAN In these days of religious intolerance and extremism, the separation of church and state is vital to our democracy, according to the director of Colorado's American Civil Liberties Union.

Jim Joy spoke to a lunchtime audience about the issue of religion and the government at MSCD Tuesday. Joy, who has directed the ACLU of Colorado since 1975, focused his presentation on the interaction and conflicts of religion and government.

"It's a timely topic given that we're going to have a couple of initiatives in the '94 election, school vouchers being one of them, that people need to think about," said Michael Garcia, an assistant professor of political science and the coordinator of the presentation.

Schools and religion are constantly at the center of the separation debate. There is a difference between colleges and secondary schools, Joy said, since attendance · is required in public schools.

He said the courts recognized long ago that they could not keep the schools from closing on Christian holidays since most of the stuc\ents would not attend anyway. But the courts have kept religion from being sponsored or organized by public schools.

"You can pray in school, but you can't do it on any sort of organized basis," Joy said. "Anybody who's ever taken a bad math test may have from one time or

Jim Joy speaks In the Student Union on separation of church and state • another prayed in school, that's not against the law. What's against the law is to have the government establish some sort of prayer. The government has to be strictly neutral in these areas."

Joy said he has noticed an ongoing debate between two Christian factions in this country.

One group wants to establish a heaven on earth and wants to do it by having the government enforce their values and

beliefs, Joy said, referring to groups like Colorado for Family Values, which sponsored Amendment 2. The other group believes people should abstain from doing wrong for personal, religious beliefs, not because the government says so.

"The notion that you can force people to act correctly and somehow, in so doing, save their souls, is an important concept to a good part of our Christian community,"

Barb Ferrill works for student interests from her office in the Student Union.

Ferrill Plays Hardball Politics, Wins Support Jean E. R. Straub

路-

..;;

STAFF WRITER Five years ago Barb Ferrill never guessed she would become MSCD student government president.

"I was never really into politics," ~~rrill said. "My family was very nonpobhcal. They never talked about politics. ."The only memory of politics in my family I ever remember is being seven years old or something and hearing that my parents were going to vote for Ford.

But I didn't even really know that they were Republicans, which I think they are.

I'm not even sure."

Now in her second semester as student government president, Ferrill has learned to play hardball politics with the best. She has won the respect of Student Trustee Matthew Bates, although the two are on nearly opposite ends of the MSCD political spectrum. They have different styles of operation and different priorities.

This is their second year together.

"I didn't vote for Barb," Bates said.

"I don't think Barb voted for me. But there have been many projects that Barb and I have worked actively together on."

Ferrill was born in 1970 in Casper, Wyo., the second of four girls. She lived in Casper for two years and doesn't remember any of it.

"My dad 's joke was that the best view of Casper, Wyo., was in the rearview mirror," she said.

Growing up in Golden, Ferrill attende~ Catholic school from fifth through mnth grade. She said all of her values and political beliefs stem from the basic tenets of Catholicism, but she does not consider herself Catholic.

"I have a lot of problems with the church," she said.

Ferrill said she did not excel in high school because she was not interested and made little effort, but the fall after graduation in 1988 from Golden Senior High School, she left Colorado to attend a Catholic university in Portland, Ore. "My mom kind of got me to go to it and never told me it was Catholic until two weeks before I went up there," she said.

Ferrill considered accounting as a major because the school catalog showed it paid well and because Ferrill had taken an accounting course in high school.

"Halfway through the year I realized that it was the ~tupidest thing that I could ever think of to want to do, because the only real weakness that I know that I have is basic adding and subtracting," Ferrill said. "If I do it too fast I do it wrong."

So accounting was out.

Luckily, her first dose of politics came shortly after.' She researched toxic waste for a speech class. Nothing was done, she found to her surprise, to stop the polluters.

"Here was my first time recognizing that the government that you 're taught takes care of you really doesn't," she said.

The rest is history. Although Ferrill said she has a love/hate relationship with politics and is 路~totally disgusted" with the control of American government by big business, she now wants to be able to make things better, to have an impact.

Ferrill decided at the end of the year in Portland that she would attend MSCD until she found a "real" college to go to, but she became involved with Colorado Public Interest Research Group and ended up on the board of directors from 199092. From CoPIRG she learned to work "within the system."

"You certainly don't chain yourself to a desk to pass legislation," she said.

Ferrill was elected to chapter chair of ~oPIRG, but her interest in larger, social issues began to take priority over environmental politics. She became aligned with Democratic Socialists of America.

"I think we could have a lot more social justice in the United States " she said. ' "Barb tends to look at things a little more from the left, politically," Bates said.

Ferrill got involved in MSCD student government in 1992 under then President Chip Wiman. Her platform has always been that MSCD students, who have so much invested in their school, should

Washington Semester: First-Hand Look at Politics Sharon Fipps THE METROPOLITAN Witnessing government in action, the chance to meet with a Supreme Court justice and visiting places of great historical significance is pretty heady stuff for a political science student, or any student interested in the workings of government.

Washington Semester, a program offered by MSCD's Political Science department, is 30-day, firsthand look into the operations of the nation's capital.

"The best part about it is you get an insider's view of Washington," said Marilyn McCroskey, an MSCD political science student who participated in the 1991 trip.

"We didn't just go into these places for five minutes and tour the building, we get educated about these places and their history. It's like Washington's an open classroom, and Dr. Provizer is our own personal tour guide."

Norman Provizer, chairman of the Political Science department at MSCD, organized the first trip in 1991. He said he modeled the program after one he was involved in at Louisiana State University at Shreveport. He has taken about 24 students to Washington since the program began, he said.

"I believe that students who attend a college like Metro should have the same kind of opportunities and cultural experiences that a student at a large private university might get in a similar program," Provizer said.

The Washington Semester is such an opportunity.

Dorm rooms at The George Washington University are home to the students during their month-long stay in the nation's capital. Students visit places such as the Library of Congress and foreign embassies. On the last trip, students were on hand to witness the Supreme Court hand down some of the year's major decisions.

Traveling to the nation's capital and staying with a dozen other MSCD students was not the same as going to

Washington as a tourist, Mccroskey said, adding she would like to return to the area.

"We learn a lot, but we have a lot of fun too," Provizer said.

"It's fun intellectually.

We've had a lot of people on the trip who've caught at least a partial dose of Potomac fever and are just crazy to go back."

Claire Wright is another of Provizer's students who went to Washington in 1992.

THE METROPOLITAN

Toleration is Not the Same as Approval; Joy Says JOY from page 4 Joy said. "They will ...try to promote various governmental limitations on behavior and in America those tend to be translated into sexual behaviors."

These people have a right to prd'mote their particular nutions, Joy said. They don't have a right to violate other people's rights in promoting their agenda, and that's where Joy sees future conflicts and questions before the courts and legislatures.

Toleration is not the same as

approval, Joy told the audience. He said allowing someone to pursue their particular religious beliefs in ways that don't in any way interfere with other religious beliefs is important in a true democracy.

"I urge you to be very suspicious of those people who would exclude the unorthodox or exclude the people who have a different set of religious beliefs then they do," Joy said. "Whether you're religious or not or whether you' re antireligious or pro-religious doesn't matter. I think the notion in a democratic society is

that you allow people who have a different way of life than you to live unmolested by our state. That's an essential ingredient in a democratic society."

Andrew BelIB, a student who attended the speech, agreed with most of what he heard from Joy. He said there is a definite bias toward Christianity in this country.

"Everything is based on the Christian beliefs, and we don't allow other religious cultures to exist in our country," Beltz said. "There's too many people in govern-

ment and in our society that believe in the Christian views that we don't allow tolerance toward other cultures and their beliefs."

After the presentation, Garcia said he was happy with outcome and the information presented.

"I thought it was pretty comprehensive," Garcia said "There's a lot of issues and good examples that I think helped the students get a better sense of what is this concept of separation of church and state.:'

Ferrill Learning, Growing in Political Role

..,'

FERRILL from page 5 have more decision-making power.

After a semester as vice president for campus affairs for the Colorado Student Association, Ferrill decided to run for MSCD student government president. She attributes part of her decision to run for office for the 1993-94 school year to being a "control freak." The other part is her tendency toward perfectionism.

"I think.'if something ·is going to get done right, then I have to do it, which is also a character flaw. But I think that's partly why I decided to run for student body president, because I thought I could do a really good job."

"It was really, really tough at the beginning of the semester. I was getting a lot of flak. When you're student body president, you get blamed for everything."

Eight student government representatives, including Ferrill, were charged with

misuse of student fees during a July national student conference in Los Angeles. MSCD Vice President Lucian Lemak and Student Sen. J.C. Flowers did not meet the required 2.0 cumulative GPA to hold office. Lemak was later impeached.

She said she learned to better deal with other members of student government, giving them license to be responsible for themselves, came out of the fall semester with more knowledge about herself, and segued into a smoother spring semester.

Maggie Miller, director of Student Activities, agrees.

"She has already improved so much in her efforts to be clear and direct with members of student government. That is the one area that I felt she could have worked on in the fall, and she did," Miller said.

Miller cites the ongoing work to publish faculty evaluations, the advent of· deferred tuition and the current revision of the student government constitution as evidence of significant work by Ferrill and student government representatives.

"She is definitely dedicated to student empowerment and student issues," said Travis Berry, executive director of the Colorado Student Association. Not only is she dedicated, but she also has the skill and drive to get things done.

Ferrill said she plans to graduate in the spring of 1995 with a degree in political science and minors in sociology and economics. For her, it is only the beginning. Ferrill is interested in graduate study of public policy.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a totally different political system in America? I've got a few ideas," she said.

Hamblin Is Right: Everyone Takes on Role of the Victim After witnessing the debacle that radio talksh ow host and commentator Ken Hamblin's appearance on campus turned into recently, it occurred to me that the reason that the man's views put everyone into a rage is simple.

The guy is right.

Now, now, before you neo-liberals start to throw stones and mutter your all inclusive "I'm OK, you're OK," rhetoric and before you ultra conservative Limbaugh lovers spout your "look, another minority agrees with us" condescension, just bear with me.

Hamblin is right because takes on the issue that just about EVERYONE in this country has been guilty of at one time or another. Mainly, taking on the role of a victim.

Let me say first that for me, Ken Hamblin is little more than a showman, and not necessarily a good one. His show rarely strays from the race issue and often, when it does, he beats an issue to death. In turn, that sends everyone but his most , fanatic of fans tuning the dial to Big Dog or whatever. Basically, the guy likes to hear the sound of his own voice and that makes it easy to discount his views. No one likes a know-it-all.

Hamblin aside, it doesn't take a psychologist to figure out that much of what is wrong with our country and ourselves can be attributed to our collective possession of a victim's mentality. That's the real issue. It has nothing to do with all of this racism talk, or whether someone has 'sold out.'

Where I agree with Hamblin to a great extent is that we have turned into a nation of victims. No one wants to take responsibility for their lives anymore. · And it isn't limited to just one segment of people in our society, it runs the gamut and across

all segments.

In certain communities, people want to blame a "system," or an "institution" because they haven't met with the success that they feel they deserve. Still other people want to blame an entire race of people for something that happened to them 10 years ago or because they didn't get a particular job. Still others search for another individual to blame because they've missed an opportunity or made a monumental mistake that changed their lives.

We can scream all we want to about discrimination, reverse racism and the like, but the real issue is that we've all dealt with it in one way or another. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white, rich or poor- you could be Mother Theresa. No matter who you are, one day, someone will find a reason to dislike you. Period.

I don't mean we should ignore it or turn our backs to it. What I do mean is that we have to learn to DEAL with it. It all comes down to the individual 'Wt \-rte~ tloi:~ ~\,.~ ·,.uttll""<"t of "Out•itlt t"-<. and the realization that one day, it will all boil down ~1 \.,""'" 'to \,.:..l ,... .\:., \t°.t{ .w61!' ft'O.. ~\.& c.irtoo.,.irt... to your talents and how YOU conduct your life.

enhances life. To teach our children that we are all the same is wrong. It denies them their own identity and encourages them to do the same to others.

Yes, we are all different. We all have out own cultures and backgrounds. We have all been victims of racism at one time or another. , I am a Jew. My people have been one of the favorite punching bags for mankind since we first appeared. We were slaves in Egypt for centuries.

We have been kicked out of almost every country in Europe at one time or another. Dozens have had their shot at exterminating us. Six million of my people were killed in just a few years. If anyone knows about racism, I do. Speaking from personal experience, I have been assaulted both verbally and physically on numerous occasions because I, "killed Jesus," "hoard money,''. and "enslaved the black population." If I wasn't as well educated as I am, I would probably hate Catholics, Arabs, and blacks.

But I understand that my encounters were on an infinitesimal ratio to the larger populations of these groups.

Point being, the buck stops here. If racism is to be crushed, we must stop pointing fingers at each other for the transgressions of our ancestors, and instead work together to ensure that the bloody and hate-filled past of mankind does not give way to an even more bloody and hate-filled future. Instead of closing our eyes and minds, we must open our _ hearts.

Hamblin's C<;>mments, Racial Insults Not Needed to Get Point Across

...

On- January 27, 1994, Ken Hamblin incited members of the audience by using racial innuendoes and insults directed toward people of color, particularly African-Americans. This letter brings into focus Hamblin's taunting of the audience for the purpose of increasing his ratings and monetary gain.

I do not agree with Hamblin's attempts to engage in debate by using racial innuendoes and in some cases epithets to support his ideas. In my opinion, his methods are the by product of someone who only seeks to gain attention by offending portions of the audience.

Although Ken Hamblin's comments were unethical and tactless, I will not say that the audience's response rests entirely on his shoulders. They could have walked away or debated the issues.

Rather he sought to incite, taunt and belittle selected groups within the audience, African-Americans in general, so as to increase his radio stations' ratings and his potential salary.

Hamblin's lack of adroitness when discussing political correctness, racial issues and violence in America will only provide him a token status as a politically conservative talk show personality.

Recently, he was referred to by the media as a "Black version of Rush Limbaugh", which is questionable because Limbaugh hasn't resorted to racial innuendoes and epithets to support his opinions and hypothesis. Don't misunderstand, Hamblin does have some good ideas and interesting opinions on the state of our nation by his approach toward addressing the issues that are gauche.

America is faced with economic, political and social crisises that require sincere attempts at debating, discussing and negotiating problems that face our country. The repair and rejuvenation of the country's resources -people-needs input from everyone, not just Hamblin's targeted audience, those who enjoy hearing insults being lobbed at people of color.

Some people in this country traditionally used and still use insults to belittle, oppress, offend and dehumanize people they consider uneducated, criminally oriented, different and "lower class."

Martin Luther King, Jr. attempted to change this tradition, the Jim Crow's society's verbal dehumanization of minority groups, by bringing people together and incorporating respect in the development of solutions to repair this country's race relations. King sought peace with the races through mutual respect and dialogue. He dreamt of a day when people would come together and repair their social flaws within our society. Thus, I pose to Hamblin that America should not be a tradition carried on, but rather a future to be realized.

Hamblin's unethical remarks used in his editorials and radio programs have no place in debates that attempt to pose solutions, such remarks are socially divisive and for the purpose of sick entertainment. Thus, I would rather hear content from Hamblin's parrying on social issues, not the simulation of the act.

Stop Pointing Fingers And Open Your Hearts, Eyes and Minds Racism. It's an ugly word with an uglier meaning. Discrimination based on one's race is a societal evil that has plagued .mankind since the beginning of time. Why? Ignorance. Ignorance breeds fear, breeds hatred. Never en9ing concentric circles.

Racism is not a genetic trait. It is learned or conditioned. People are racist because they have either grown up in a racist environment, or have had bad experiences with those of a certain race, and mistakenly stereotype that race by the actions of a few.

Then there are those for whom racism make economic sense. Hitler attempted genocide of the Jewish people because they were a good scapegoat. Having an economic depression? Find a minority and blame them. Nothing gets the economy going like mass exterminations.

Who is racist? There are members of every sect known to man that are racist. White supremacists, Black supremacists, Jewish militants, the Palestine Liberation Organization; Hitler, Farrakhan, Kahane, Arafat. ..the list goes on. What do these people have in common? They all preach hate in order to further their own personal goals. Why qo people follow these racists? Hate is the strongest human emotion. It is a fire that is fed by fear and ignorance. These peopre are the catalysts for the reaction. They grab ahold of that fear and ignorance and twist and mold it into a shape that fits their needs. What can be done?

Education. The cornerstone of building a peaceful and productive society lies entirely in education. Racism is learned. So is acceptance.

Instead of anger and hatred, the young must be taught open-mindedness. Children must be taught that differences are not evil. They are what

irectly acr?ss Spee: Boulevard, to the east of campus, lies the crown jewel of Colorado's cultural scene-the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Within the labyrinth of p~rformance spaces at DCPA is Boettcher concert hall, home of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. As the Symphony enters its 15th year performing at Boettcher, it is looking to generate more interest from the thousands of students at the Auraria campus.

"College students are typically not regular symphony attendees," says James Copenhaver, outgoing executive director of the CSO. "Obviously, everyone has a very busy schedule with school and other interests, so we have to compete with a lot of priorities."

But the sheer physical proximity is a good excuse to come check out the symphony, says interim director Marvin W. Buckels.

"Park your car where you normally do, walk across Speer, and here we are."

Colorado Symphony's director of education, Eric Bertoluzzi, is determined to foster a productive alliance between students and the Colorado Symphony.

"We are going to pursue the relationship between the symphony and the entire Auraria campus much more aggressively," he says. "We'll go over there if we have to."

No location on campus, though, would be the same

the smartest ways to spend your entertainment dollar.

"All students, kindergarten through graduate school, receive 50 percent off the ticket price for every performance," says Sandy Lasky, CSO's director of marketing.

"We prefer to see an ID, but lots of people get their tickets over the phone, and we've just gone with the honor system."

Ticket prices range from $33 at the high end of the spectrum to $8 for seats that are further removed from the action, but are generally acknowledged to have the best sound. Auraria students, who only have to pay $4 for those seats, can attend a symphony in one of the most unique concert halls on the planet for less than the cost of seeing a movie. Even the most expensive seats in the house are less than many rock concerts at $16.50.

Because classical music is part of the great world of art, says Howard, it allows access~ to an extended selfawareness about where man's creativity has been and where it's going.

"One reason people go to the symphony, and continue to go, is that music played at symphony concerts is part of the great world of art and aesthetic ambitions, and the world of ideas that are permanently interesting and relevant connects us to people who aren't around anymore. It connects us to the ambitions, feelings and emotional resonance of these people of the past."

"And by extension, it connects us to the people of the future as well."

I>----""""'----'Intersection' a Long, Winding Road to a Dead End Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR "Intersection" is supposed to make you think about the importance of living each day as if it is your last and making the right choices. But it leaves us wanting to end it all now.

Soon after the film opens, we find out Vincent Eastman might die any second now in a four-car crash. The audience is grabbed in the first minutes of the movie. The problem is, we don't get to find out if Vinnie lives or dies until the end, and by that time we really don't care.

The action is interrupted to show us flashes of Vincent's life leading up to the crash. It's time to find out just who this Vincent Eastman is. He is an attractive man in a midlife crisis, who has Left his wife, but is waffling about making a final commitment to his girlfriend. He is also Richard Gere, who acts about the same as in every other movie I've seen him in.

Vincent is a very successful architect who works with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Sally (Sharon Stone) at the firm they created together, Eastman and Eastman.

Sally is the organized, logical one.

Vincent is the creative, impulsive one. He is planning to build a house for he and his girlfriend, Olivia Marshak (Lolita Davidovich), a clever, perky little journalist who looks 35 and acts 20.

Vincent also has an incidental daughter (Jenny Morrison) who studies ballet . and is perfect. Still, Vincent worries when she doesn't eat enough. He's a good

Brickman also If the buildings Vincent designs were worked with Woody Allen on built on foundations as weak as these "Manhattan" and "Annie Hall." Go figure. characters are, they would never stand.

There is no bad guy in this movie.

The only truly interesting scenes are Vincent gets chastised a couple of times Vincent's hallucinations as he teeters on by the women in his life and by his boss the brink of death. We see him metaphor(Martin Landau) for dragging his feet ically frolicking in the freezing Pacific about which way his life is moving- waters. His wife and daughter call to him

as they pass by on a sailboat. Olivia then appears far out in the water, giggling. He looks back and forth between the two of them, as if deciding. The only problem is that we've already been let in on Vincent's decision before this scene.

The other hallucination is more interesting and eerie, as we see Vincent and Olivia at a wedding party, surrounded by friends and family. Vincent's nearanorexic daughter is even eating in this scene. It's idyllic. Then a wind kicks up and starts to blow everything away. It is incandescent and foreboding at the same time. Ooooh.

• Oscar-winning director of photography, Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encouhters of the Third Kind") does deserve credit for these scenes and for accentuating the beautiful Canadian setting.

Stone, as Sally Eastman, gives the best performance in the film and her character has more to hang on to than any of the others.

She is careful and prectse, but not calculating. She is beautiful and rich, but a little bit boring and almost asexual. But at least she knows what she wants and has convictions of some sort. She's the only one who seems not to be floundering about feeling sorry for herself.

If you want to find oul whether Vincent lives or dies, wait till it comes out on late night TV. The end is interesting enough to stay awake for. If not, you can put Vincent out of his misery with your remote. End of story. Whatever you do, don't pay to see this film.

The cover of Orb Live 93 (Island UK) is yet another visual pun on Floyd's famous Animals LP artwork, only here we get a stuffed sheep flying over a London power station instead of a pig. Like Pink Floyd, headphone listening is strongly advised for the Orb. Orb Live 93 is a double CD, and with each disc clocking in over 70 minutes in length, this should provide the true Orb concert experience. Each song kind of flows into the next one, and the selection of tunes (recorded from shows in

Tokyo, Copenhagen, and at a rave in England) couldn't be better. Two new songs, "Plateau" and "Valley," lead off each disc. The best things about the Orb are that they're so much fun, and there's no experience that can't be enhanced by listening to their music. The future is now.

The most famous names on Plus From Us are Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, who don't record for Gabriel's Real World label but contributed to the making of Us. Lanois, Us' producer, adds the album's coda with a moody instrumental titled "El Conquistador." This is not quite as stunning as Gabriel's 1990 soundtrack Passion, but it offers an interesting mix of music from a variety of cultures, as well as a nice sampling of the artists on the Real World label.

Writing Center Lends Helping Hand to .Students Nancy Sonnenfeld The Metropolitan Students who are stressed out about intimidating writing assignments can take advantage of a free service offered by the MSCD Writing Center.

One-on-one tutoring is available in Central Classroom 101 where students . can receive the guidance they need to build or develop their writing skills.

The center is designed to teach students how to become more independent and confident as writers, according to Jackie Swensson, assistant English professor and director of the writing center.

"We don't do any writing or editing for the student, but we'll look over the paper and help figure out what's wrong," Swensson said. "We' re not here just to work on surface problems, but to work through the whole writing process in a teaching and helping environment."

Tutors in the center also teach students how to generate and organize ideas, revise material, and assist with questions about documentation and reference tools, Swensson said.

The writing center is recommended

for all students, from proficient writers looking for advice to those who are struggling with a class.

Student tutors and other MSCD employees staff the center. Mary Traynor was once a student tutor and remained as an instructor after she graduated.

"Some students are trying to get through whatever class they're taking," Traynor said. "Others have a sincere desire to learn to write better, because they understand the importance of communication ...when you can communicate in writing, it's an ultimate achievement."

MSCD student Michele Hall heard about the Writing Center during an English class and was lured by the individual attention provided during the tutoring sessions.

"I want to write better," Hall said. "I want to tum in 'A' papers instead of " C" papers. I also learned that I wasn't as bad off as I thought, and it's not as scary as it seems."

The writing center is in operation Monday through Friday and is open late two nights a week. Students can call 5566070 for appointments.

Preserving history and tradition is something most of us have never thought about, nor had the opportunity to do in our lifetime. But for several MSCD students, the opportunity has risen, and they · will each receive a $300 stipend for their time and effort.

In Chicano Studies 390: Ethnic Oral History, offered for the Dawson first time this • spring, 12 students will have the chance to interview 36 elders from different ethnic communities.

Each student will interview three elders.

In addition to the students receiving a stipend, the elders will receive a $100 stipend.

Just over a year ago, Eugene Dawson, director of the MSCD Institute for Gerontology, and Antonio Esquibel, associate vice president for Community Outreach and professor in the Institute for Intercultural Studies, combined efforts to create the intergenerational, multicultural oral history project at MSCD. Shortly afterward, Dawson submitted a grant proposal to the Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation, the funding source of the project.

Last fall, students campuswide were

CHECK OUT OUR VALENTINES

DAY SPECIAL!

notified of the upcoming oral history project. Fifteen students signed up for the project, but after orientation meetings and personal interviews, only 12 were chosen.

The class includes three African Americans, two Asians, four Hispanics and three Native Americans.

The only requirements for this project

'It's an experiment on every level. .. · -Gene Dpwson Director of the MSCD Gerontology Institute are having a genuine interest in people with ethnic heritages, and a wish to improve listening, interviewing and writing skills. The purpose of the intergenerational, multicultural oral history project is to distribute the audio/and or video tapes of the ethnic elders to middle schools in the Denver Public School system.

Esquibel said he and Dawson chose middle schools because they felt this was an age when children start to understand and become aware of people from different cultures and backgrounds. Dawson added that there was no 'lright age" when it came to deciding to whom to submit the tapes, but middle schools seemed like a receptive audience. "At that age, the awareness factor concerning other people takes on an added significance," Dawson said.

By distributing this project to middle

schools, the intergenerational aspect comes full circle. "We feel the elders have much to teach, and our students have much to learn," Esquibel said. He hopes the project has the potential to reach three or more generations.

Students are assigned an elder of the same ethnic background mostly to overcome any language or cultural barriers.

"It's easier to build a relationship by having students interview an elder of the same ethnic background," Dawson said.

He also said this will give some of the students a chance to better understand their own ethnic backgrounds.

"Some students have expressed quite openly and honestly that they don't know much about their roots," he said, adding that a project like this can help deepen an appreciation for any ethnicity.

The actual interviews will begin in mid-February and should end late April.

At the conclusion of the project, there will be a closing ceremony with the MSCD students presenting their work to the Denver Public School system. At that time, organizers hope there will be an opportunity for live presentations to the middle schools by MSCD students and the elders.

Esquibel said he is very happy with the project's progress, and that Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell has even expressed an interest in participating. Although the outcome looks optimistic, Dawson and Esquibel know there is a long way to go and a lot to learn.

"It's an experiment on every level, but we're getting the cooperation we need," Dawson said.

THE METROPOLITAN

MSCD Professor Finds Path to Safe Highs Duane Green

The Metropolitan

"-

路 MSCD professor Harvey Milkman is giving many area youths a priceless gift: the chance to turn their troubled lives around.

Milkman, a psychology professor at MSCD since 1974, has accepted what he calls the challenge of the 90s: "Teaching people, especially young people, how to get high without destroying themselves."

In doing so, Milkman has stepped out of the college classroom and founded Project Self Discovery, an intensive 10-week early intervention program designed to help at-risk youth. The program encourages troubled teens to use artistic expression as a way of achieving natural highs, instead of using drugs or committing crimes.

Project Self Discovery is the culmination of over 20 years of research by Milkman into the motivations behind drug

use. He received his doctorate in 1974 from Michigan State University and has been at MSCD since then. From 1969 to 1972 he participated in research at New York's Bellvue. Psychiatric Hospital on people's drugs of choice. Afterward, he published articles liking people's personality types to their drug preferences.

"People who use cocaine are extroverted and confrontational, whereas people who use morphine and heroin want to be comfortably numb," Milkman said. His theories on drug preferences were subsequently adopted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

In September of 1992, Milkman

began Project Self Discovery when he received ~ $1.2 million grant from the Center for Substance Abuse. With the project, Milkman is seeking to prove that "artistic alternatives could replace intoxicating states."

Devin Gartner was in a group home for troubled youth last February when he was referred to Milkman.

"I was causing havoc in the co~mu颅 nity ," Gartner said. "I was just out committing crimes. I had a choice, so I came here."

For Gartner, the program was a chance to regain lost self-respect.

"I got into a lot of trouble because of

boredom. So I looked for things to dolegal or illegal," he said.

After graduating from the program, Gartner said he has many things to be proud of.

"I'm back living with my family and I've b~en paroled," Gartner said.

Milkman's 20-odd years of work have also produced several books on substance abuse. His latest work, "Pathways to Pleasure: The Consciousness and Chemistry of Optimal Living," has just been published. The book offers ways to enhance everyday pleasures without doing drugs or other harmful addictive behaviors.

Price, Smith Get Technical Fouls; Price Gets Benched Andrew Mosier STAFF WRITER

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

Women's Basketball Coach Darryl Smith argues with a referee over a technical foul called for Smith standing outside of the coach's box.

"If the refs will let us play (physical1y ), we will kick their butts," Coach Darryl Smith said before the game. Much to Smith's displeasure, MSCD's women's basketball team was not allowed to play its physical brand of basketball, losing a heart-wrenching Colorado Athletic Conference match up to the University of Denver 66-63, at the DU Field House.

DU now holds a firm grasp on first place in the CAC with a perfect 7-0 record, the Roadrunners now 5-2 in conference play are fighting for the second place spot with Air Force, 5-1.

MSCD started the first half strong, jumping to an eight-point lead in the first six minutes of the first half of the game only to watch it vanish as quickly as it wa.S made.

DU tied the score 25-25 with 7:04 left in the first period when DU's Jen Masters sunk the second of two technical foul shots, after MSCD junior Qiana Price was slapped with a technical.

"All I said was 'come on' to the ref. I don't think he liked us at all," Price said.

After falling to DU 33-29, with just over four minutes left in the half, the Roadrunners pushed its full-court press, which worked successfully in the first part of the half.

DU struggled to move the b,all up court, giving senior Paula Hart the ball under DU's basket for an easy lay-up.

Hart was then fouled, making both foul shots, tying the score 33-33.

Junior Sarah Eckhoff gave the Roadrunners the lead once again, hitting a 10-foot jumper with 2:32 to play. That was the last successful shot of the half.

MSCD entered the locker room at the half, carrying a 35-33 lead.

DU came out of the dressing room

charged up, jumping to a 53-45 lead, eating 12 minutes and 18 seconds off the clock.

Smith was given a technical with 7:28 for leaving the coaches box, then in the confusion, Price was slapped with her second technical and ejected from the game.

"When he (the official) gave Coach his T, I just said their coach was on the floor, too. I didn't yell or anything," .Price said.

With Price gone, sophomore Tammi Baumgartner and Eckhoff picked up the intensity, along with the rest of the Roadrunners, climbing back into the game.

"Sarah (Eckhoff) really picked up the intensity and took the ball to the hole," Hart said.

Baumgartner knotted the game 5555, nailing an 18-foot jump shot with 4:32 to play, only to have it lost when an away from the ball foul was called on Hart, putting DU into the bonus.

Two minutes later Hart was called on her fifth foul and had to sit out the resr of the game.

Hart's departure once again fired up the Roadrunners. Hart's replacement, junior Wynema Hunter, hit an eight-foot jumper, putting the Roadrunners down by only one, 60-59.

Eckhoff then fouled DU 's Molly Yockey, who sank both shots from the line . Eckhoff hit a lay-up with 1:52 remaining, pulling MSCD again to within one, 62-61.

DU managed to eat up much of the clock before junior Mary Henry fouled Stacy Howard with 7.4 seconds to play.

Howard sank both shots, giving DU a 66~3 advantage and the game.

Regis Gets Better of MSCD, Takes Conference Win Andrew Mosier STAFF WRITER

A heart-stopping final two minutes was the only fitting way to end the hardfought game as Regis University topped MSCD's men's basket~all team Thursday 78-75 at the Auraria Events Center.

"The reason we lost was the missed shots under the basket at the end of the game," Coach Joe Strain said.

The loss dropped MSCD to 12-6, 4-2 in Colorado Athletic play. Regis remains on top of the conference at 14-3, 5-0 in theCAC. The first half saw a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, with the biggest lead going in Regis' favor, 18-13, 11 minutes into the game. That lead was quickly absorbed by the Roadrunners, with baskets from junior guard Kenyo Bledsoe, senior guard Lenin Perkins and a thunderous dunk from senior center Dan Kennedy.

That run gave the Roadrunners the momentum in the last part of the first half, going into the locker room with a shallow

34-31 lead over the Rangers.

MSCD outshot the Rangers in the first half, shooting 12-26, 46 percent from the floor, and 10-13, 76 percent from the foul line.

Regis opened the second half with a 16-point run, only to have Bledsoe bomb a three-pointer, putting MSCD up 50-49 with 11:50 remaining.

Regis regained the lead after Keith Brooks was fouled while driving to the basket by MSCD senior Greg Balman.

Brooks converted the foul shot for a threepoin t play, giving the Rangers the lead 52-50 with 11:27 on the clock.

MSCD tied the score for the last time of the night, after Bledsoe took the ball coast-to-coast, knotting things at 52-52, with 10:52 remaining.

MSCD was never able to gain the lead after Bledsoe's tying bucket, but did well to not let it get away from them.

Bledsoe fouled Regis' David Hanslick who then made the basket and following foul shot, putting Regis up 5552. Regis converted once from the field, and twice from the foul line.

Balman was then fouled and convert-

ed a three-point play. Regis missed its NBA three-point line.

MSCD jumped on the Rangers 10-8, with six early points from Qiana Price, who finished with 15 points for the night.

The early fire fizzled, along with the Roadrunners' shooting, midway through the first period. Regis made an 11-to-5 point run as the half came to a close.

MSCD, which led by as much as 13 points during the half, allowed Regis back into the game. MSCD's lead dwindled to 25-24 at the halfway mark.

"We get into trouble when we don't shoot well. It seems the more shots we miss the fess offense we run, everyone gets frustrated and just stands around," Smith said.

MSCD shot a below average 11-30, 36. 7 percent from the floor in the first half. The Roadrunners' missed shots were the key to Regis' run, keeping the Rangers from being blown out early.

"We had our big run at the beginning, then they hit a couple of buckets and we couldn't make anything," said junior guard Sarah Eckhoff. Eckhoff finished the night with four points.

The Roadrunners took the floor looking like a different team than the one that played the first half. MSCD worked the ball through the Rangers with little difficulty, giving themselves a good shot selection. MSCD outscored Regis 38-18

"Once we made a few shots, they got their confidence back. I think some of them might have been looking ahead to Saturday instead of concentrating on the game today," Smith said.

MSCD's Greg Balman scored an outrageous 28 points in the first half of the University of Denver basketball game Saturday afternoon.

Unfortunately, the lucky, can't-miss shot eluded Balman in the second half, where he scored only eight points, totalling a Jordan-like 37 for the game.

This scoring run went unmatched by any player on either team, leaving Balman to claim high points, unchallenged.

But, MSCD lost the game, 78-75. The score has hit MSCD hard this week in conference games. It was the second 78-75 loss this week; the first was to Regis. After leading by 10 at the half at DU, the Roadrunners came out looking life they could take this win and fight the snow storm home. The Pioneers had another plan, as they blazed an offensive trail through MSCD's sparse defense.

MSCD's Kenya Bledsoe's shot went ice cold. After hitting more than 20 points in the last four games, Bledsoe hit a meager 5 against DU. He didn't hit his first s~ot until overtime. He was 2-16 from the field and 1-8

A sick Allen McClain yelling from the stands called to Bledsoe, "Don't shoot, man .

Only one other Roadrunner to score points in the double figures was Lenin Perkins, hitting 11 points.

Dan Kennedy almost had double-doubles, combining 9 points and 11 rebounds.

The Roadrunner team as a whole shot 40 percent from the field, while Balman alone hit 64 percent.

For the second half MSCD shot 32 percent, while DU hit 40 percent.

It seemed MSCD was outplaying DU in the second half as well, grabbing more Tebounds and getting more blocks and steals. The only thing MSCD didn't get more of during this game was points.

Taking their second conference loss for the week, the Roadrunners dropped to fourth in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

MSCD is waiting to get revenge on both Regis and DU. The Regis rematch is Feb. 24 at Regis, at 7 p.m., and the DU rematch is Feb. 26 at the Auraria Events Center at 7 p.m.
