Kaplan cans Geis·l er Kent Lister

The Metropolitan Dr. Jerry Geisler, fired as dean of MSCD's School of Business on Sept. 28, said in a recent interview that he's not satisfied with the explanation and that there may be "an agenda here that I don't understand." · President Sheila Kaplan announced Sept. 30 that Dr. Michael Brown, associate dean of the School of Business, had accepted her appointment as two-year interim dean of the School of Business and that Geisler was to assume his tenured position in the Department of

Management effective immediately. Kaplan's e-mail message offered little explanation for Geisler's dismissal other than it was of the utmost importance that she have people on her senior administrative team who believe totally in the unique urban mission of the college. "What's the terminology behind an urban mission?" Geisler said. '.'It may mean that I ·have a gender problem and a color proble~, I don't know. I can't do anything about it either." Kaplan said that she had no comment about Geisler' s statement pertaining to the urban mission .

Geisler said that faculty met with Kaplan on Oct. 7 and questioned her about the firing. "They received no answers, and quite frankly there are no answers other than, by law, she can fire me at will," Geisler said. After the meeting, the School of Business faculty and chairs passed a petition supporting Geisler. The petition stated that the restructuring maneuver was viewed as counterproductive to continuity within the School of Business and asked for an explanation for the action. The petition was signed by a majority of the School

Health center aims to educate Meredith Myers

The Metropolitan Students who pass the Student Health Center on the lower level of thePlaza Building without ever going in might never know that beyond the well-lit waiting area lies a $1 million operation. In the 1993-94 school year, about 66,415 students attended Metropolitan State College and the University of Colorado at Denver, all paying student fees that helped fund 路the SHC. MSCD students paid $13.7"5 per semester, and ucp students $15. Steve Monaco, Director of the SHC said the center earned about $200,000 in internal income during that year. The combined total from student fees and internal income came to an estimated total of $1.1 million. "We are hiring people to serve the students," Monaco said. "Eighty percent of our budget goes toward personnel, and 20 percent of it goes toward overhead." He said the average health center, whether private or public, spends 60 percent on personnel and 40 percent on overhead. The reasoning behind the proportioning of funds is because the SHC does not want to purchase unnecessary equip-

ment that would lead t() higher costs for students. Whether they are taking one credit hour or 18, MSCD and UCD students are entitled to brief initial consultations with a licensed medical assistant at the Walk-In Care department of SHC ~bsolutely free of charges. After the paperwork is filled out, an appointment is set with a medical

provider that same day. Monaco said that determining whether a student neel}s a more comprehensive consultation, further testing or lab work is contingent on key questions posed during the initial visit. This is when costs to the students may arise.

"The services we provide are competitively priced to other health centers," Monaco said. "In fact, most times, our prices are lower." One of three family physicians, who are. contracted through the University of Colorado Health Science Center, works at the SHC every day of the week. A gynecologist is on staff on Fridays. In addition to the physicians, five nurse practitioners, one physician's assistant and three medical assistants provi拢le medical care at the SHC. The administrative staff is made up of a director, a health educator, two behavioral counselors, one insurance medical administrator and a receptionist. Professional services that the SHC provides range from first aid to annual physicals to simple lab tests to minor surgery. However, the SHC also provides free medical services like general health education. "Reaching students when they are open-minded and willing to make behavior changes concerning their health is a big reason we're here," said Billi Mavromatis, health educator at the SHC. "Information and inspiration is what the health center's education is dedicated to," Mavromatis said. Pamphlets line many of the walls inside the SHC, with

information conc~rning everything from HIV/AIDS awareness to eating disorders. The center will provide information on any kind of illness or behavioral disorder for free, simply to keep the students informed. She said that the center is always willing to contribute information to students in order to help with projects, papers or speeches. The SHC also provides workshops each semester on issues that the health care providers find are especially relevant to the students. This semester, classes concerning winning at weight loss, eating and emotions, smoking cessation and managing stress are available. "We find that there is commonalty of what they're (students) saying," said Linda Wilkins-Pierce, behavioral health counselor at the SHC. "Most times we hear themes in students' concerns or problems in examination, and that is how we determine which workshops to hold." She also said that her help on an individual or group basis was usually available at no cost. "I'm very respectful as to where a person is in their life," Wilkins-Peirce stressed. "Change is a process, and we'll help you regardless of where you are at."

Ed Romero, Executive Director of the Colorado Scholarship Coalition, handed out black polo shirts with the scholarships logo to recipients at the coalition's first meeting of the semester Oct. 3. "The shirts are to give the students who are working so hard for their scholarship, and so deserving, recognition," said Patterson Benero, CSC deputy director. The coalition provides scholarships for minority students who have financial need, and raises funds from companies and foundations throughout Colorado. A scholarship was mistakenly awarded to Megan Custy, an MSCD student of Anglo descent. Benero said that the MSCD office of financial aid has Custy classified as an Asian Pacific Islander, according to an award list dated July 11, 1994. The CSC Board unanimously agreed to allow Custy to keep her scholarship Benero said. "I don't care bow I got in, it doesn't matter," Custy said. She added that any kind of aid for any reason is a good thing. To be considered for a scholarship, students must have at least a 2.5 GPA and prove financial need. The schoiarship provides $2,000 a year for four years as long as the student continues to meet the requirements.

Distribution of the scholarship funds is based on the percentage of the ethnic population, based on the U.S. 1990 census report for Colorado. Hispanics receive 59 percent of the funds, African Americans 25 percent, Asians 11 percent and Native Americans 5 percent. The coalition began last year with 46 students and jumpe9 to 150 recipients this year. Of last year's recipients, 15 left the program for various reasons and two graduated. Lisa Roy graduated MSCD Magna Cum Laude and now works for the Clayton Foundation. "It's a great idea, and it gave me the opportunity to concentrate on my studies," Roy said. , The Coalition plans to hold a reception for corporate sponsors in November to raise more money to put more students through the program. "We will do a dog and pony show for these corporations to make them want to be part of this program because of you," Romero said. One of the guest speakers scheduled to be at the reception is Edward James Olmos, who starred in the movie "Stand and Deliver." Norwest Banks is the cornerstone of the Coalition's corporate sponsors . Norwest donated $100,000 for the 1994 school year along with the Coalition's office space in Prudential Plaza at 1050 17th St.

Tri-Institutional Legal Services is a student-fee funded program that serves registered students from Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and .Community College of Denver. The program is staffed by a licensed attorney and a paralegal who assist students with land· lord·tenant problems, criminal prosecutions, traffic/DUI cases, and fami-

ly/domestic issues. Specifically, the attorney engages in a problem-solving process with the student to identify legal issues, provide legal advice and explore various strategies and options. If a case requires legal representation and/or is bey~nd the expertise of the program's attorney, the program has a referral list of attorneys who have agreed to offer a reduced fee to registered students from the Auraria. Campus. Because the program's budget only allows for 20 hours per week of the attorney's time, it is necessary to contact Christy Oark to ensure an office viSit or phone interview.

Club complaints cause change for CFC Claudia Hibbert Associate News Editor Complaints about the "unprofessional manner" of the Club Funding Committee has created more changes for the committee's future workings. The Feminist Alliance sent a Jetter dated Sept. 27 to Brooke McMaken, SGA vice president of Student Organizations and chairwoman of the CFC, saying the Sept. 21 meeting was "chaotic and wasteful." On Sept. 29, the Golden Key Society followed up with a letter, saying that the committee was "biased." Both clubs for-

warded their letters to Vernon Haley, MSCD vice president of Student Affairs, and Yolanda Ericksen, dean of Student Life. McMaken responded to the clubs' concerns in a letter dated Sept. 29 after meeting with Ericksen to work out a better system and has since changed policy for future meetings. The following changes will be implemented for the next meeting: CFC meetings will move to .Mondays at 3:30 p.m. Clubs wil1 have 15 minute appointments to answer questions about

their proposals. The Feminis t Alliance and the Golden Key Society were two of six clubs seeking funding for events. Kathy Johnson , treasurer for the Feminist Alliance, said she had to wait for two hours to make her presentation. CFC members showed a lack of responsiveness throughout the meeting, Johnson wrote. " An additional time consumer was the committee members asking questions which had already been asked and answered on the funding proposal that

They have an instructional video and other information available to help students and faculty understand the whole light rail experience. If you would like to learn more about light rail, contact RTD's Dixie Turnquist at 628-9000.

LEGALEAGLE The Auraria Higher Education Center recently hired a new lawyer. Elizabeth Weishaupl, an assistant state attorney general, will replace Eric Decator as AHEC's legal representative. Weishaupl's hiring was prompted by Decator's promotion within the , attorney general's office. Her position with AHEC covers a wide variety of situations. Weishaupl said she works with AHEC personnel issues and is currently dealing with the legal logistics of liquor licenses for some of the businesses in the Tivoli center.

THE FUTURE The Plaza Building renovation is under way, which will provide muchneeded space for several of Auraria's faculty offices. By Fall 1996 the building will hold new offices for MSCD's departments of Psychology, Modern Languages, and Hospitality, Meeting and Travel Administration. UCD will get office space for its Communications, Modem Languages and Philosophy departments, and CCD will get space for its Business and Governmental Studies departments. The Student Health Center will remain in the lower level of the building and will be open during the renovation. Thirty classrooms are also part of the plans for the Plaza, including standard 30-40 seat rooms, some 50-70 seat rooms and tiered lecture rooms like those in the North Classroom building.

Faculty shocked at Dean's demotion Despite changes, Kaplan committed to School of Business accreditation GEISLER from page 1 of Business faculty, according to one faculty member who asked not to be identified by name. Most of the nine School of Business faculGeisler ty members questioned Monday, even those with tenure, did not want to be identified by name. But they made their support of Geisler known with copies of a cartoon they had po路s~ed on their office doors. The cartoon showed a dog saying, "See my tail: It ain't wagging. I'm not amused." The School of Business is presently in a candidacy status for accreditation by the American Association of College Schools of Business. There is a target goal of 1995-96 for accreditation according to Brown, Interim Dean for the School of Business.

Kaplan said "I remain very committed to the accreditation process" and that the change would not affect that. "One of the preconditions to accreditation is stability at both the president's

level and the dean's level," said Charles Vitaska, a marketing professor. "I think we've had six deans in the last six or seven years. One can readily conclude that that's not stability." "The change jn leadership will not have, in my opinion, a long-term or dele-

terious effect on our ability to make the internal curricular change that we h~ve to make to gain accreditation for the program," Kaplan said. Some faculty still don't understand Kaplan's decision. "We were shocked, surprised and outraged," said John Cochran, School of Business faculty member and former economics chairman. "Based on our knowledge of Dr. Geisler's p~rformance, we can see nothing that would justify the decision. I do not see how the demotion can benefit the School of Business, MSCD, or the community." "The question you have t<? ask yourself is why would anyone do that to anyone else?" Geisler said. "I am a professional person. I have responded with dignity and class to this unforeseen and ugly incident." "The thing that scares me the most is, this is fear and intimidation time. There are people standing in the hallways saying, if they can do this to you, what can they do to me?" Kaplan said: "I had been chancellor at a university before MSCD, and there was a change of leadership there - one dean

left and another dean came. That's not atypical in the academic world. Nobody stays forever, any place."

This cartoon appeared throughout School of Business offices and bulletin boards, a silent protest to Kaplan's decision to replace Geisler.

Faculty Senate NiW~ Building expansions

AHEC banks on leases

Joe Arcese announced that four classroom space expansion projects are in the works for MSCD. They are as follows: The Tivoli, expected to be complete this December; The Plaza Building, expected to be complete in August 1996; A building on 7th Street has been purchased for renovation for the MSCD aerospace science program, projected to be complete by September 1996; A proposed addition to the Arts facility, which may include a 600 seat concert hall and a 300 seat theater, which if approved by the Auraria Planning Commission will be complete in August 1997.

;

Arcese stated that if 26 commercial leases which are currently being negotiated for space in the Tivoli Student Union don't come through, AHEC may dip into parking funds or raise student fees to cover costs of the Tivoli's renovation.

Displaced classrooms During the Plaza Building renovation, the13 classrooms in the building cannot be used. Currently, no space has been found to compensate for the loss of space, Arcese said.

No show student reps Liz Friot, a member of the Academic Affairs Committee, said that the two student members on the Board of Academic Standard Exceptions are failing to attend every meeting. BASE, which meets monthly, hears students' appeals for exceptions to the graduation agreement policy. According to the 1993-94 Student Handbook, student representatives who serve on the sevenmember board are appointed by the Student Government Assembly. To win an appeal a student must persuade at least four BASE members to vote in their favor, a task Friot said is more difficult if all member/ aren't present.

Careful riding home An alert student guard noticed a man stealing a bicycle seat from a bike locked at a rack in the 1000 block of Champa Street on Sept. 28. Another student guard nabbed the man as he attempted to flee north on 10th Street. The suspect was released after the guards returned to the bike rack to rmd the seatless bike gone. The seat and post were booked into Auraria Public Safety property.

Video piracy at Sigi's At least $300 in quarters was stolen from three video games in Sigi's arcade on Sept. 29. The machines were broken into and the coins removed between 8:30 and 10:50 p.m., while the game room was open. The three employees on duty didn't notice anything amiss during that time. The thieves also attempted to break into three other machines. APS has no suspects.

At least he had on his safety goggles Wasted for only $2.25 A shirtless man wearing yellowtinted safety goggles chased a male CCD student and a female MSCD student on Sept. 16 near parking Lot 0 - while exposing himself. The suspect chased the MSCD student down Colfax A venue toward Speer Boulevard, and then disappeared. The student went to The Colorado Cafe at Speer and Colfax to call police. The CCD student was already doing the same.

The Boiler Room called police on Oct. 3 to have them remove a disorderly patron. The suspect stiffed the Boiler Room $2.25 for a beer he consumed, refused to leave, harll88ed other clientele, and spit on an officer who responded. The man, not a student, was charged with disorderly conduct, trespass, assault and theft.

Dy-no-mite!!!!! An unidentified man whose car was towed from the Parking and Transportation Center Oct. 3. reportedly threatened a PTC employee when he went to pay his fine the next day. The suspect mentioned explosives and dynamite and stated, ''No wonder the Russians blew up their own Parliament!" He did not appear to be joking, according to the PTC employee. The employee declined to press charges, and the man was not arrested.

Be Careful Since Sept. 27, APS has responded to seven incidents in which lockers have been broken into and contents stolen. Most thefts occurred in the Arts and North Clll88room buildings.

Clubs say no consistency CFC from page 5 was submitted two weeks prior," Johnson said. Cindy Coleman, president of Golden Key, said in her letter that the clubs were not asked the same questions about their events. "I feel there is a lack of consistency, consideration and respect of others and knowledge on parliamentary procedures," Coleman wrote of the committee: "I recommend, in the future, that there be a standard list of question that the committee asks and a list a criteria that each club should meet." The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan also questioned what the CFC's criteria was for awarding money for events earlier this year. McMaken met with CFC members Aug. 29 and the CFC forms were revised to include an abstract in case questions should arise. The only criteria clubs must meet to receive money is to show how their event will benefit MSCD· students, McMaken said. "The only questions asked in the next. meetings should be to clarify information," McMaken said, adding that since MSCD has over 100 clubs it would be impossible to develop a standard set of questions.

English prof doubles as Poet Jeanie Straub The Metropolitan Sandy Doe eats, drinks, sleeps and dreams poetry. A lover of words, the MSCD English professor leads a double life. By day, Doe teaches four classes, including the poetry writing workshop and the development of modern poetry . By night, she is a poet and performance artist. She moonlights as a Leaping Beryllian. The Leaping Beryllian Poetry Society is a Denver poetry workshop that was founded in 1988. It was born one winter night around Doe's dining room table and "nourished on several bottles of unpretentious Yugoslavian wine," according to Doe. The inspiration behind the group's name? A late 1960's British movie, "Bedazzled," and folklore about Saint Beryl, who leapt from her farm boots directly into heaven.

Doe and the other Leaping Beryllians read Oct. 7 at the Highlands Ranch Man sio n as part of the Douglas County Celebration of the Arts. Doe herself was always into words. She credits her awaken ing to a junior high school teacher by the name of Earl Reum, who paid attention to her words. But she began to write seriously when she developed breast cancer in 1975. "I thought I might not be here very long, so I' d better _ leave a record," she says. Her writings then were poems of grieving and poems of the moment. "That generally tends to be my philosophy about The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wllets writing anyway - you write Longtime MSCD poetry professor and resident poet Sandra Doe at home in her in the moment you 're in," office In the English department In the West Classroom.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting older all the time. I'm starting to notice. Some gray in the hair. Eyeglasses. Strains and sprains that once disappeared overnight staying on for weeks like annoying relatives. Emotional pain is taking longer to heal, too. I used to recover from broken romances in a New York second - two months, tops. The last one took two years. The heart, it seems, is the most vulnerable body part of all to the whips and scorns of time. The worst thing about time, though, is it never stops running. It takes a while to figure that out. Time is irrelevant to the young. When you're young, you actually think you're going to live forever. Your supple 20-something body seems indestructible. You can party all night and work the next day, no worse for the wear. You can play at strenuous sports, or even make a living at it. You can expend constellations of energy in sexual pursuits, drawing from an endless reservoir of blood, sweat, tears and other precious bodily fluids. You can leap tall buildings in a single bound, bend steel in your bare hands. You're invincible, immortal ... Somewhere around 40, you start suspecting that's not really the case. Becoming middle-aged is like losing Santa Claus a second time. We're five years old again and finding out

the world isn't quite what our parents told us. There's no jolly old elf at the North Pole, just glacial ice and six months of darkness. Sensing your own mortality is a lot like that. It's more than just being disappointed you feel cheated. It's unbearable. Unimaginable. But it's true just the same: One day the world is going to get along just fine without you. We have some interesting ways of denying it. You start ignoring your own birthdays. You hesitate to reveal your exact age to people, not only because you're defensive about it, but because you actually can't remember for a moment, so thoroughly have you deluded yourself. (A few years down the road, you won't be able to remember even if you want to.) People with disposable incomes try buying their way out. We get nipped and tucked, lifted and suctioned. We plug in new hair and pump ourselves with vitamins. We keep strapping on the skis and leaping for the game-winning spike until, like the Medic Alert lady, we've fallen and we can't get up. Because time eventually catches up to everyone. It has some interesting ways of letting us know, too. Aside from the subtle physical indicators, there are more ominous signs. Your friends start getting diabetes and having heart attacks. You start having heart attacks. Your parents die. Your spouse. Things that are impossible to • ignore. _ You finally have to look time right in the face and deal with it.

Register and vote We students are forever being told that we are apathetic, that we don't vote, and therefore can't have an affect on the issues of the day. Well, they're wrong! Students are also citizens. We are directly affected and concerned about the issues that are currently being debated: the environment, healtll care, crime, the economy. Not only are we concerned, but we're active, and in this coming election, politicians beware, because we intend to vote on our beliefs. This past week registrars have been on campus, and a coalition of groups, including CoPIRG, Student

And how we do that is most interesting of all. Traditional religion is the most popular method. There's comfort in connecting to spiritual institutions that are thousands of years old. The priest or the rabbi, the mullah or the guru, surely, they can help us in our struggle with this relentless monster. They're wise and holy and on familiar terms with higher truths. They have the answer - and they've got it in writing. They're professionals. And they do a good job, by and large, our religious professionals. They shepherd us through the Valley of Death with compassion and conviction. They actually have us believing we're going to heaven if we're good, or being endlessly reborn like Energizer bunnies run amok if our karma is bad. But what if they're all wrong? What if our holy men don't know any more about life and death than the rest of us? What if they don't have a clue to the mystery of time and the workings of the universe? What if they're all arguing brilliantly from a false premise and their cathedrals are all built on faulty foundations? What if it's Santa Claus all over again, and we're being lulled to sleep by another comforting myth because we're not big enough to face reality? I wonder about that some nights, lying in the dark and staring at the digital clock. And I remember something the great philosopher Satchel Paige.once said: "Don't look back something might be gaining on you." I think I know what he meant now.

this campus will be affected as much as anyone by the decisions made this November. We can make an impact on the issues that concern us and the best way to _do that is to register to vote.

Join the 23,000-Ft. Assault on Breast Cancer Expedition T-shirt sales to benefit Breast Cancer Fund Most people climb mountains for the sheer challenge and exhilaration of it. But for 45 year old Laura Evans, a breast cancer survivor from Ketchum, Idaho, climbing represents her hard-won victory over the disease and provides a way to help other cancer victims. Four years ago, Evans was in a hospital in isolation after a bone marrow transplant to fight a primary, stage-3 breast cancer. An active outdoor enthusiast, she discovered mountain climbing prior to her diagnosis and knew she would climb again. After her release from the hospital, Evans was so weak she could only walk four blocks without having to rest-. Each day she walked a little more. Within two weeks she was walking nine miles. In two years she ascended Mt. Kilimanjaro. Nextjanuary, Evans, along with renowned climber Peter Whittaker, will co-lead F.xpedition Inspiration, a climb to the summit of Aconcagua in the Andes. At 23,085 feet, Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and is listed as

An informal survey of the occupants of the Tivoli Student Union on the first day of class revealed that getting settled int0 the renovated Tivoli was interesting at best The Auraria Book <:enter was the first of the Tivoli's new merchants to open shop. On July 18, most of the books were shelved, merchandise was displayed throughout the store, the twoby-fours used to lock the temporary wooden doors were taken down and the employees were ready to assist students in buying textbooks. Then the rains came and cime and came. The lower level was flooded and the elevator shafts ·looked like wishing wells. After a long night of vacuuming up water, director Gretchen Minney was overheard sayiog, •·weti, the floors are dampened, but not our spirits. We are ready to serve our customers. But they better be wearing their galoshes." Opening day at -the New York Deli was fairly hectic. All of the staff was cheerily greeting customers-lots .of customers! Staff was ready, food was ready, hut the computer? Oops, the computer forgot it. was opening day! Activities at the Daily Grind did not grind to a halt just hecause its area was still · under construction. A push cart ser:ving coffees arid pastries was set up in tlie Atrium ready to jump-start the campus community with a much

needed dose of caffeine. Monica Younger, editor of the Advocate, looked around the new space cluttered with boxes and sighed. "We have a great place to work, but right now _we're just tying to catch our breath. We are getting a paper out and trying to empty boxes too. It's business as usual, except nothing is usual right now." Community News was up and running, but had no phones. Phone service finally caught up with the newspaper and Lisa Lang, editor and Mari Christie, production manager are waiting to hear from you, especially if you have advertisements. What do you do if you look at the plug to your most important piece of equipment and notice that all three prongs face a difterent direction? Panic and call in the big guns. That's what Kate Lutrey, director of MSCD Student Publications did. "I was ready to plug in the stat camera and realized something wasn't right. I put in an emergency · call to Dean Wolfe (AHEC Vice President for Operations) and John Douglas (general contractor for the Tivoli renovation). They came over right away, took one look and plugged it into the outlet. What I failed to notice at first was that we have.: univcr::.at outlets in the Tivoli, which allow anything to he plugged in." After she found the on switch, Kate and Metro Publications were ready to roll.

With more floor space in the new Tivoli location, the Book Center has expanded its soft goods department to feature JanSport clothing and outdoor gear. In addition to in signia T-shirts and sweatshirts, a complete line of backpacks, hook hags and soft-sided luggage are available. ' janSport was founded twenty five years ago by Murray Pietz, a University of Washington engineering student, his girlfriendJan Lewis, and his cousin, Skip YowelJ. After Pietz won a cash award in an Alcoa contest for the best use of aluminum, the trio, all in their early 20s, decided to invest in a manufacturing venture. Legend has it that the company name was a deal between Murray and Jan. He would name the company after her if she promised to marry him. The timing was perfect for lightweight aluminum frame hacks. Young people went hack to nature, got hooked on the great outdoors and swore by their free-wheeling backpacking lifestyle. While the competition was making

rigidly welded backpack frames, JanSport made frames w ith flexible joints to conform to the body and a hip belt to better distribute the weight. The milestore that Yowell and other kaders in the Northwest outdoor gear industry remember best is the dome tent. As Yowell explained, "We needed something that could withstand adverse weather conditions, he free standing and have more usable space inside. Our inspiration came from the igloo." The dome tent is now the most popular style among .outdoor enthusiasts. · Although the ownership of JanSport has changed hands several times in the past quarter-century, the original owners are very much a part of the company. ~wis is still a product designer, and Yowell continues to be involved in product testing and marketing. Pietz left a few years ago to produce maps for the U.S. Forest Service. If there is an ideology that sets JanSport apart from other manufacturers, even in the sporting gooos industry, it's the company s love for the

outdoors. It's both personal and institutional-almost every employee is involved in some kind of outdoor activity. Environmental protection is a high priority. Wherever possible, JanSport uses recycled paper and soy-based ink to publish its catalogs and other marketing materials; employees use mugs instead of disposable cups and participate in a sophisticated recycling program. The company supports many environmental causes, such as wildlife clinics, wilderness preservation and nature trail maintenance. JanSport has diversified extensively in recent years, making 66 different frame packs, day packs, duffel bags, fanny packs, travel packs and brief cases. Its products are licensed in 13 countries . Sandra Hughes, general merchandise buyer at the Auraria Book Center, is excited about the venture. "The Book Center is proud to be working with such a conscientious company. We look forward to providing the students on this campus quality sportswear and outdoor gear."

·Prof elaborates on intercultural drama. Catherine O'Neill The Metropolitan An MSCD English professor has managed to find a bridge between British and Chilean culture. Perhaps it is a small world after all. Eugene Saxe, professor of English literature at MSCD, specializes in B.ritish literature. He is on better terms with Will Shakespeare than some profess to be with Elvis. And he has recently returned from a sabbatical in London. It is Saxe's love of British drama that set him theatre-hopping about London an activity that eventually led to the connection between cultures. One night he attended a play called "Death and the Maiden," written by Ariel Dorfman. "I had no idea what the play was. I was tired; I was ill," Saxe said. "I wouldn't have gone if I didn't already have tickets." And since the poster to promote the play featured a famous painting of Lady Jane Grey - an innocent victimized by the politics of the country, "I thought the play dealt with

British history," he added. But when tQe curtain opened, Saxe saw the set wasn't British at all. In fact, he recognized the architecture from the time he lived in Chile during the 1960s. Saxe spent years studying Spanish literature, and his dissertation was on Chilean drama. In his dissertation he focused on and translated three works of Jorge Diaz, a contemporary playwright. Diaz was part of the resurgence of the theatre movement in Chile in the '60s, and Saxe was in the thick of it. Chile became his adopted culture. "I had anticipated spending my life there," said Saxe. Watching "Death and the Maiden," a Chilean drama, in London was not only a link back in time for Saxe but also a link between cultures. "It was a bridging of the two times in my life when I'd lived abroad and had rich, exciting experiences," he said. Beyond that, he said, the play "dealt with issues in contemporary Chilean history in much the same way Shakespeare dealt with 15th century British issues." An unusual coinci-

dence, according to Saxe, who has always believed Shakespeare's plays to be a form "peculiar to British drama." · Because of Saxe' s understanding of British literature and Chilean politics, the play offered many levels of interest for him. That's why he chose to speak on "Death and the Maiden" when invited by Dr. Akbarali Thobhani to participate in MSCD's lecture series, sponsored by the Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services. As people entered St. Cajetan's for the lecture on Oct. 10, Shubert's 14th String Quartet in D minor was playing on the portable cassette player. Saxe explained it was also known as "Death and the Maiden" and was the music that played as the woman in the play was being tortured. "Death and the Maiden" is a premise play that addresses many political agendas, Saxe said. In fact it was not as successful in Chile as it has been internationally. Saxe read an article in which Dorfman is quoted as saying that he believes Chile is a "macho

CoPIRG wants YOU to·register to vote Dove Flomberg and Robyn Schwartz The Metropolltan CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) has been busy this month with its voter registration campaign. Even more is planned for the future. Between 700 and 800 students have registered to vote since the voter registration campaign was launched, according to Ajayi Harris, MSCD senior political science major and CoPIRG state board chairman. The campaign was started to

help change legislators' view of college constituents. The view has been dim, largely because of the low turnout of students at the polls, according to Harris. CoPIRG is an environmental special-interest organization that is funded by student fees. Students can waive the $4 fee that appears on their tuition bills. ''We're not a charity or a donation;'' Harris said ''We, the students of Auraria Campus, vote to fund the good work that we do. Without a fee, we wouldn't be able to fund it or accomplish the good things that we do." The money goes to the state

Suddath office where the Student Board of Directors decides how to allocate the funds-what projects get how much money statewide. Another example of C.oPffiG's success is the 1992 Oean Air Act,

STUDENTS

which regulates the amount of toxins that can be released into the air. Because of this act, Colorado set a standard that is 40 percent higher than national requirements, Harris said. C.oPffiG's involvement in the act included research into pollution effects and pinpointing the state's major polluters. In addition to that, CoPIRG has raised thousands of dollars for the hunger and homelessness campaign. Homelessness Awareness Week is the week before Thanksgiving. CoPIRG plans events for every day that week, including a speaker, to be announced, in an effort to raise

more money to help combat the problem. "Besides our program accomplishments, we do a lot of training with students, like teaching them how to organize coalitions, organize volunteers, how to do effective research on issues that they care about," Harris said CoPIRG also offers full-time internships in a variety of different areas. For information, call campus organizer Kama Suddath at 5564537. The group also needs volunteers who can help collect petitions, make phone calls, write press releases, organi7.e and more.

Reiss a Iiatural spot to see Colorado art Robyn Schwartz

Features Editor If you can't escape to the mountains this semester, perhaps a calming landscape is just the thing you need to ease the stress of school and work. There may be no more comfortable place in Denver to do this than at the

showing in her gallery. Several of the artists in the "Capturing Colorado" show got their start at Rhoda's gallery. Bruce Gomez, 37, whose pastels of the Telluride area are scattered throughout the twostory house, says he got lucky when his insurance agent saw his

told Gomez to leave the pieces but she wanted them out of the gallery that Thursday. When Gomez returned to pick up the work, Rhoda had decided to show them herself. Gomez studied art in Europe and had a show at the U.S . Embassy in Paris. He is a single

Colorado artist Van Allen Wylle poses beside his paintings at Reiss Gallery. "Capturing Colorado" exhibit at Reiss Gallery, 429 Acoma St. Walking into an exhibit opening at Rhoda Reiss' gallery is like walking into a party. "This is Checkers," she says, introducing her cat, whom she says helps pick artists for her shows. Rhoda is like mom, not only to her clients but to artists

father of four and a Denver native. "Harpo's Pond," one of the best works in his show, hangs in the office above the desk. It's named after Oprah Winfrey (Oprah spelled backward), who owns the small body of water. The pastel is a serene study that puts the viewer into the setting.

Hi s " Dallas Pride" is a w.ide view of a mountain lit on fue by sunlight. The most prominent works of the show, however, belong to Van Allen Wylie, 24, originally from Texas, who has chosen Denver as home. Wylie also described himself as lucky. Rhoda invited him to show at his gallery after seeing his work at Cherry Creek High School. His works are brightly impressionistic. They blend darker backgrounds with predominant splashes of purples or yellows. "Goldilocks" glows with light. The bright yellow jumps off the purple and green background. Wylie also does portraits, although they are not on display at the gallery. Although these local artists may call themselves "lucky," they all have exhibitions in other galleries and prestigious prizes under their belts. Monta Vista native Tom Lockhart has settled on landscapes after experimenting with abstract, as well as other art fonns. Lockhart got his start in a self-promoted, one-man show in his father's furniture store. Lockhart had earned a Fine Arts degree from Emporia State University in Kansas and ran his father's business for 10 years before this happened. Lockhart's are the most realistic landscapes in the show. " I'm not trying to push or pull colors beyond the norm. To me, there's enough information out there to want to learn what is there, and to be able to handle values of the colors and shapes ... is difficult enough." Lockhart does most of his

painting from life. He uses phot6graphs only to do touch-ups. This results in a distinctive difference between his paintings and others in the show. One feels very much a part of his landscapes. The National Arts for the Parks recently gave Lockhart the second place award for the region. Morton Schneider's rustic watercolors have a true cowboy feel to them, as well as a sense of humor and depth. "Gone Fishing" shows a bear ambling into the woods with a fish he's just caught. His "Lunchtime" features the fish themselves as the main subjects. This fluid, complex watercolor looks almost intestinal and is difficult to look away from. But landscapes are not the main fare of Rhoda 's cozy gallery. Follow the staircase up to the abstract creations. A trip to the bathroom introduced one of the best pieces in the gallery. It hangs over an old-fashioned clawed tub. The large acrylic on canvas called "Continental Divide" by Kevin Krasnoff is alive with windy and aquatic motion. The bathroom itself is a work of art. Reiss Gallery is full of ceramics, modernist constructions and abstract arts. It's easy to walk in because the atmosphere is so casual. You don't have to be rich to walk out an art owner. Although the main pieces in the gallery fetch worthy fees, there are smaller, matted originals and prints starting at around $11.50. Take a drive or catch the No. 5 bus down to 429 Acoma St. for a relaxing hour of art.

"It reminded me and exposed me to the extraordinary cultural change that has occurred there" during the last several years of political upheaval in Chile, Saxe said. One of the premises of the play dealc; .. with the archetype of the dangerous relationship between love and death, Saxe said. It also exposes the dreadful feelings that build up in a people who have been violated and oppressed, he said. Without the venting ' of that rage, he added, people have no way to deal with their suffering in the absence of some type of release - a release that historically occurs in the form of a barbaric bloodletting. Saxe's interest in the play is shared by ,.. audiences worldwide. It has had successful runs in both New York and London, where it has won numerous awards, and will be released on Dec. 23 as a feature-length film. The film is directed by Roman Polanski and

His hands moved with each syllable for added emphasis as he spoke of his department's lecture series being held at St. Cajetan's. "It was Larry Johnson, the former dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, who came up with the idea," he stressed. "I want to make sure he gets the credit for that." MSCD's Lecture Series, sponsored by the Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services, was started at Johnson's suggestion two years ago. Its intent is to enrich students and faculty in their understanding of other cultures. It features LAS faculty who wish to share their experiences, research and activities with the rest of the

campus. Thobhani is obviously proud of the lecture series. Proud enough to want to share the credit. Thobhani alone is responsible for selecting the guest speakers. He chooses them by throwing out some names ''well, let's try this person." A haphazard · approach, but ''I don't have to look around too much," Thobhani said. , Occasionally, a guest will receive a special invitation, as in the case of professor Eugene Saxe, who lectured on ''Death and the Maiden - A Modern History Play" on Oct. 10. But with only three lectures each semester, it doesn't take long to book speakers. "We're already in the planning stage for next fall," Thobhani said. "Speakers are lined up for spring. We have to plan a year ahead."

___ ...

Speakers are allowed to present on any topic of their choosing. "We.see culture as a very broad phenomenon," Thobhani said. "Any human activity comes under that broad definition of culture." The attendance at St. Cajetan's for the lectures ranges anywhere from 25 to 100 people. Many of the attendees are classes of students brought by faculty. The last lecture of the fall series will be from noon to 1 p.m, Nov. 14, when Robin Quizar of the English department presents her research on "Crossover into the Maya." For more information on the Lecture Series, which is free and open to the public, contact Thobhani at 556-4004.

Theatre On Broadway presents John Guare's 'Six Degrees of Separation' with sophistication Robyn Schwartz Features Editor The danger in seeing a play after having already seen the movie version is the tendency to resent differences between the two. Funny thing is, the play "Six Degrees of Separation ," now playing at the Theatre on Broadway, is so much like the movie, I wonder if the actors themselves saw the movie first as well. "Six Degrees," a brilliant John Guare play about a young black man trying a new way to transcend t he class gap, will run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 15 at 13 S. Broadway. This tiny yet elegant theatre is in itself worth an excursion down ol' Broadway. The set is intimate, well made and incorporates the use of scrims to add dimension to an otherwise limited scene. Scrims are screens onto which light can be projected, resulting in a blending effect with the stage walls. Light can also stream from behind these opaque windows to reveal a person behind it, if that is the desired result. Another plus not always seen in a small theatre is the gradually elevated seating provided, instead of fold-up chairs on one plane. Keithwayne Brock Johnson plays the ingenious, endearing liar Paul, who works his way into the lives of Fifth Avenue well-to-do's. He so captures the imagination of Ouisa Kittredge, the wife of a private art dealer, that he changes her life. His performance is a bit stiff, but it could be an interpretation of Paul's part, since throughout the play Paul is posing as someone he's not.

Deborah Persoff gives a performance beyond reproach, and yet one can' t help thinking she may be playing Stockard Channing, who played Ouisa in the film version. These are not amateur actors by a long shot. The cast carries the play smoothly and with perfect transit ions. Between scenes , they perform an inviting/threatening, non-contact Tango with one another. The production crew and Director Stephen Tangedal do a great job turning such a small set into a versatile backdrop for this eclectic New York setting. And you get the feeling the cast is a team, that they have worked together before and enjoy it. If you haven't seen the movie or the play, I suggest you see the live show first. The movie is remarkably similar to it. The film is simply a physical elaboration of the play, with the benefit of a well-seasoned cast, millions of dollars more for production costs and the option to use scenes from the real Big Apple to add atmosphere and depth. But if you enjoy the energy of live performances, pick up a ticket or two. Take a date to this show. You'll be guaranteed to sit in close proximity of both your object of affection and to the entire cast as well. No binoculars needed. And the plot will provide ample fuel for first-date ice-breaking afterward. Tickets are $12 for students, $14 for adults and you can receive a $2 discount for prepayment. For more information, call 777-3292. For reservations, call 860-9360.

very passionate poems: "Some of my poeins now are less passionate, but they have more literary technique." Doe went through radiation therapy and chemotherapy and lived to tell about it. When the Leaping Beryllians were born, Doe was teaching voices and visions of modern poetry at night school. "Th ere were som e people in there that I really liked," Doe says.

"And I really didn't want to lose them and not know them anymore after the class. So we decided to get together a poetry workshop." All eight members of the group are language professionals of some kind - mostly teachers and commercial writers. They meet once a month at each other's homes. For her own professional life, Doe will fly later this month to New Jersey to attend a conference called Unsettling American, a festival of contemporary, multiethnic poetry . To do so, she was awarded a profes-

sional development grant. She also recently auditioned and was accepted for the newly formed Colorado Chautauqua - a Colorado Endowment for the Humanities grant program that will allow her to travel to small towns and perform poetry in libraries. "My affinity is more for performance than it is for publication , " Doe says. The Leaping Beryllians will read next from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Mercury Cafe, 2199 California St., during Writer's Harvest, a nationally

coordinated event. On that same day there will be a Writer's Harvest in New York and a Writer's Harvest in San Francisco and at other places between the two . Admission to the Denver event is $5. All proceeds will go to a local charity to fight hunger. Membership in the Leaping Beryllian Poetry Society is by invitation only, but Doe would be more than delighted to advise serious poetry enthusiasts on forming their own workshop.

This JDay hurt Jeff Stratton

Editor After making media waves across the country with their muddy Woodstock appearance in

August, Nine Inch Nails are undertaking a tour of the United States, playing large arenas in support of their last LP The Downward Spiral. Opening for Trent Reznor and Co. will be Marilyn Manson, a frightfully macabre new outfit on Reznor's own nothing label, and the always-fun Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. The Sideshow, sandwiched between Manson and NIN, is featuring regulars like Mr. Lifto, who'll be suspending heavy objects from his nipple (and other) rings, and some new performers as well. The Armenian Rubber Man, who leader Jim Rose insists "was not born like you or me," will squeeze his 6-foot frame through the head of a tennis racket. Mark 'The Knife' Faje will balance an lawn mower on his chin, while it's running, and the other members of the troupe throw heads of lettuce through it. A modern primitive version of the carnival freak show, this performance shouldn't be missed. Reznor has watched his coldly calculated vision travel from indie-size success to the

Nine Inch Nails at McNichols next week cover of Rolling Stone magazine. After attracting a huge fan base with his almost-commercial debut, 1989's Pretty Hate Machine, Reznor has parlayed his designer nihilism into a hugely profitable empire of pain. Spewing venom in the direction of the record companies that gave him his start, while promoting himself effectively through a clever campaign of carefully crafted self-hate, NIN are at the top of the heap when it comes to angst-ridden entertainment for the masses. The new NIN stage show, stopping at McNichols Oct. 20 is " over the top and intense," according to drummer Chris Vrenna. The band will have an elaborate light show and a visceral backdrop of films, but the energy of Reznor and crew will provide an excitement of its own. "We go through a keyboard or two a night, and lots of guitars," says Vrenna. "I'm on my third drumset this year. Trent Likes to destroy those as well." The self-destruction of NIN's equipment parallels the s/m of Reznor's personality, and makes what could be an unflexible set of sampled electro-noise an unpredictable violent spectacle. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Nine Inch Nails play at a scaled-down McNlchols Arena next week. Call 290-TIXS for information.

Men's soccer woes continue as team drops three more Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan A grueling schedule that has seen the MSCD soccer team play 10 of its first 14 games away from home continues to take its toll on the Roadrunners. Last weekend, MSCD dropped three games in three days, losing 4-1 at Fort Lewis Friday, 2-0 at Southern Colorado Saturday, and 6-1 to West Texas State at USC Sunday. With the losses, MSCD's record drops to 3-11-0 overall; 1-6-0 in the Colorado Athletic Conference.. While the Roadrunners have posted a respectable 22-0 record at home and a 1-1-0 record at neutral sites, they have struggled on the road, posting a 0-8-0 record. In the weekend's games, MSCD was in every game at halftime, trailing 1-0 in two of the games and tied 0-0 in the other. However, the travel took its toll in the second half.
