U.S. Secretary of Education: 'We are not achieving our goals' Riley wins award, gives seven-step plan for improvement Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN
.?_
An expected national enrolfment boom in higher education over the next 10 years will hit Colorado colleges with an estimated 37 percent increase in enrollment, said U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley. Riley addressed many educational issues at the James Bryant Conant Award banquet where he received the award for his contributions to education. Education and political leaders came from as far away as Singapore to attend the national convention held at the downtown Marriott City Center. Some events were held on the Auraria Campus. The Conant Award, established in 1977 in honor of James Bryant Conant, an internationally known scholar, is considered one of the most prestigious tributes in the education community. The increased numbers in enrollment can be attributed to the echo of the baby boom, Riley said. Nationwide, figures for enrollment in higher education ar~ expected to increase said Cathy Christie. coordinator of the Information Clearinghouse of the ECS. "There was an (enrollment) increase of 16 percent between 1985 to I 993 or 14.8 million," Christie said. "By the year 2005, there is an additional expected enrollment increase of 15 percent or 9.1 million."
we are not achieving our goals." Riley added that culture needs to change. "Our culture is concerned with entertainment, rather than education, reading and writing. We are dividing at a time when we should be coming together," he said. Ken Nelson. a member of the National Education Goal Panel in Washington D.C., has worked with Riley for two years and said he is a strong man. "He can carry himself very well in the midst of conflict," Nelson said. Riley served two terms as the governor of South Carolina. He is largely responsible for the president signing six groundbreaking education bills into law and developing several creative initiatives. Riley was the driving force behind the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, including the need for voluntary state participation and control. In addition, Riley enacted federal programs linking schools and businesses to better prepare students for careers or continued education. Riley gave a seven-step plan to help improve the educational process: -Listen to one another. -Listen carefully to those who question public education, although they may not represent the majority. -We have honest differences. Respect one another's opinion. -Teaching and learning should meet high standards. The METROPOLITAN/Andy Cross -Search for common ground.

Searches finally yield activities director Christine Richardson The METROPOLITAN
After two searches, a student activities director has been chosen and will start August 15. Zav Dadabhoy, whose name is derived from an ancient Persian word meaning king, accepted the job as Student Activities Director for Metro on June 29. "I was impressed with the students at Metro because they seem to have their act togetl;ler and want to take responsibility," Dadabhoy said. "Since Metro is a non-traditional school, I realize that there will be a need for different services. I think students tend to get involved in things that are meaningful to them and we' ll just have to develop programs the students are interested in,"
~.
he said. After a contract is signed at the end of July, Dadabhoy will start his new position before the fall semester starts, said Kate Lutrey, chairwoman for the search committee. "I feel positive about coming to Metro," Dadabhoy said. "I've heard nothing negative about the school. The position has lots of opportunities, it's a growing area and livable region." Dadabhoy has a master's degree from t!Je University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. "I was originally in accounting, but switched over because I really like working with students," Dadabhoy said. Three years ago there was a search to fill the position, but none of the finalists stood out or were hired. In January, another search was
launched, but there were problems with how the qualifications read, Lutrey said. In late May the search continued. There were 92 applicants for the job. The Student Government Assembly and Student Services were invited to take part in interviewing the three finalists and had input in the selection process, said Safa Suleiman, Metro's SGA president. 'The students were well represented at the interviews," she said. The candidates were equally qualified on paper, Lutrey said. "The interviews were what made the final decision," she said. All Metro student government representatives that were present at the interview agreed that Dadabhoy gave the impression he would never give up. "He really emphasized that his door
was always open to talk to us and I truly believe that he meant it," said Juan L. Sanchez, vice president of student organizations. Maggie Miller was the interim student activities director for Metro for almost three years. Miller was an applicant but withdrew her candidacy, Lutrey said. "I loved working with Maggie," said Lisa Scott, SGA vice president. Scott had worked in the student activities office last year. "I think it's definitely our loss that she's gone." Scott said Miller didn't give her reasons for leaving. "Maggie wanted us to be able to make a fair decision, she didn't want to prejudice us."

Motorists ignore Speer traffic lights Study finds pedestrians equally negligent of traffic regulations Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN
At the same time pedestrians violate traffic signals, motorists speed through red lights on Speer Boulevard in a deadly crossfire that cost a University of Colorado-Denver employee her life last year. Concerned about pedestrian safety, campus officials and the city of Denver spent $19,000 on a study conducted by the traffic consulting company BRW Inc.
Every day 11,900 pedestrians, at six intersections must wade through a raging stream of an estimated 50,000 vehicles that make Speer Boulevard one of Denver's busiest streets, the study shows. Officials don't know exactly how many motorists dart through the yellow and red lights. But at the southbound portion of Speer at Larimer and Lawrence they detected 96 vehicles going through yellow lights and 25 going through a red in one hour of monitoring. Motorists aren' t the only problem, the study points out. Pedestrians also add to the risk of an accident by crossing against the light. Pedestrians were seen violating the "Don't Walk" signals at the same intersections 28 percent of the time, the study concluded.
According to the study, the average vehicle speed on Speer is 32 mph. The speed limit is 35 mph. "On balance, people are adhering to the speed limit," said Andrew Chitwood, division director of parking for Auraria, one of the campus officials who spearheaded the study. "We are worried about the people who gun-it through yellow and sometimes even red lights." BRW Inc. studied Speer Boulevard from Market Street to Stout Street last spring. They found that five locations in particular are the most dangerous. They are: •Larimer Street at Speer southbound 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. •Speer southbound at Lawrence, where 32 percent of all pedesttjans
cross. •Arapahoe at Speer southbound, where 2,600 pedestrians walk using a five-foot sidewalk that's too narrow, forcing many to walk in the street. •Champa Street at southbound Speer. •Stout Street at Speer southbound where the Light Rail crosses. To reduce dangerous traffic, the study outlined $318,000 worth of corrections. The study came as a result of Robin Hagerty's death in September of 1994. Hagerty, a UCD employee and mother of a 2-year-old girl, was struck by a car while crossing the intersection of Lawrence and Speer. The main goal, Chitwood said, is to make Speer a safer environment for pedestrians.

Auraria budget ax could fall on student services Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN
,_
Due to a budget cut, students who use Auraria child care or shop at the Tivoli Student Union might find profound reduction in these services by the fall semester. At a June 29 meeting the Auraria Auxiliary Services Committee rejected the .budget for the upcoming fiscal year at a meeting June 29. The rejected budget included a deficit of about $790,000. Committee members demanded a balanced budget by July 31. The AuxiJiary budget covers the financial standings of Auraria student service providing institutions such as the Tivoli Student Union, the child care center, parking facilities and the Auraria Book Center. Following the recommendation of the Auxiliary Services Committee, Dean Wolf, Auraria's vice president of student operations met with the chief financial officers of all three Auraria colleges and directors of the service providing institutions June 12 to devise a balanced budget.

The proposed cuts, could bump as much as $695,747 from the $790,000 deficit for the 1995-96 Student Services Facilities Budget. In an interview prior to the July 17 meeting Metro's Vice President of Administration and Finance, Joe Arcese, said he hoped that cuts could be made within management positions at Auraria, instead of in student services. The CFOs of all three institutions will meet this week to discuss plans to cut costs before presenting any proposals to the ASC. The proposed budget was rejected at the June 29 meeting after committee members Cole Finnegan and Manuel Martinez criticized the ongoing practice of covering deficits with reserves. This year's $900,000 deficit depleted the Student Bond Fee Fund to a balance of less than $180,000.

Not Coming to a Campus Near You The untold story of why the AMC expansion became a victim of political infighting by Kevin Juhasz
..
oAnn Soker, executive v ice president of Auraria, saw the AMC theater expansion as a way to provide extra income for the financially strapped Tivoli Student Union and prevent student fees from increasing dramatically. It was also a chance to borrow money to repair the shabby condition of the poorly-constructed athletic fields. The field inside the track is so bad that Auraria decided it was too dangerous to use and declared it off-limits. For AMC it was a chance to make even more money from a successful movie theater. Of the 236 theaters AMC operates in the U.S., the Tivoli 12 ranks second in attendance per square foot and third in revenue per square foot, according to an April 26 fax from AMC to Soker.
J
It was February 12, 1993 when Alan K. Benjamin, Jr., vice president for AMC
Realty Inc., faxed Soker a preliminary plan to expand the theaters. They would spend the next few months haggling over details of the deal. AMC sent Soker a letter on November 11, 1994 stating that its executive committee had given final approval to expand the current theaters. In December, the Auraria Board voted to allow negotiations to move forward. The Auraria Foundation, a nonprofit entity designed to generate funds for the Auraria campus, would create a forprofit subsidiary called Foundation, Inc. that would lease the land from Auraria and then sub-lease it to AMC. The theaters would be a free-standing structure built on the sight of the tennis courts (20 percent of the campus' recreational space). AMC's original plan had called for them to be built so they would not interfere with the courts. The abandon-
ment of this plan would later prove to be a mistake. AMC agreed to pay Auraria $100,000 per year for 20 years to fund rebuilding of the tennis courts and repair of the fields. It also agreed to allow the three colleges at Auraria to use the theaters for classrooms during non-business hours, but Auraria would have to reimburse AMC for out-ofpocket and janitorial costs and damages resulting from use. The two leases outlining all the details of the deal were over 120 pages long and cost Auraria more than $50,000 to negotiate. How much money it would have brought in was unclear. Like any business, there is risk involved in expansion. Nobody knows how downtown will look in 10 years, or how the expanded theaters will perform. Soker developed two pro formas , statements used to show how much money
could be brought in on the deal, that assumed financing on the deal and how well the theaters would perform. Both pro forrnas predicted the bond fund getting less than $87,000 a year until 2007. Under one pro forma, the first two years the theaters would be open, Auraria would get less than $3,000 to put toward the bondfund deficit. This year, the deficit is over $897 ,000; next year Auraria projects a deficit of over $481,000. Things took a turn for the worse in March when the deal ran into opposition that would continue to grow over the next few months. The board was bombarded with opposition by Metro President Sheila Kaplan, The Metro Faculty Senate, Metro's Student Government Assembly, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, and many others.

"Peg finds her mom crying where Tom, her brother who is dying of AIDS, won'.t hear the sobs," reads the caption next to one of Laurie Costa's photographs. Together they function as a storyboard that captures real-life situations involving family and loved-ones with AIDS. Metro's Center for the Visual Arts is presenting "The Many Faces of AIDS," an exhibit brought together by four artists whose work focuses on the moral, social and emotional issues that surround the illness. The featured artists are Laurie Costa of Tariffville, Conneticut, Albert Winn of Santa Monica, California, Cynthia Madansky and Paula Rendino, both from New York City. The artists are all photographers, two of which go beyond photography into different mediums. Al a one lime engagement July 15, Winn narrated his area of the show which consisted of large photographic self-portraits centering on his life as a person living with HIV/AIDS, and his physical and emotional story. His photographs were accompanied by short excerpts from his (unpublished) book, "My Life Until Now." Winn read longer excerpts from his book during his explanation of the display itself and was incredibly honest about his life experiences. "My friend is telling me that it is natural to feel the anxiety and anger I am experiencing," says Winn. " I tell her I am hopeful too, I am living my life as if there is no end. What I don't say is that I'm just wailing." This narration flanking a portrait of Winn and his partner is just one of many documented life experiences that Winn connects with his life now. Madansky's work deals with the issues surrounding AIDS and the gay community in the media. Madansky represents the femtnist side of these issues, and through her artwork means to convey the message that lesbians and women have been ignored by the media and as a result have been reduced to nothing but statistics and body parts. Madansky uses paint on large rectangular glass pieces that look like large smears for a microscope. Next to these are
oil on canvas paintings of internal organs - heart, colon; organs that tie the internal body to external human issues. Madansky also works with maps and texts that resemble blueprints. This series is presented in the context of AIDS being viewed as a plague. Costa presents a photographic narrat\ ve on scenes she wrote from news clips, case studies, interviews and documentaries. Professional actors reenacted these scenes as Costa photographed. Costa is empathetic with people who have contracted AIDS, and reflects this by her attention to detail and careful narration. Scenes represented range from parents learning about their son or daughter having AIDS or being homosexual to the uneasiness experienced between friends when one is showing external symptoms of the disease. Madansky's 'snapshot' style makes these photos very realistic and contains a strong emotional element. Rendino solely uses text as her art and message in the "AIDS Bathroom Installation." She has covered each wall in the bathroom with messages for our time. Her text contains isolated bits of conversation that may happen in a bathroom : "Surviving and proud of it," "Children get AIDS too" and "Have you told your mom that you .have AIDS yet?" are among the many messages that confront those who enter the restroo.m. Each artist participating in the exhibition brings personal feelings into their artwork while they represent the perspectives of thousands and the many issues that inevitably are a part of AIDS . Winn shared a bit of wisdom that is worth considering: "I cannot give in to impulse where life is concerned." The METROPOLITAN/ John Swift

Mercantile gets makeover Renovated cafe re-opens with new menu, new look Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

aily-fresh bagels, made-to-order sandwiches, homemade soup and gourmet coffee are just a few of the items that appear on the new Mercantile menu. The cafe re-opened on Thursday. Remodeled and under a new lease, the Mercantile, located on the Ninth Street Park, offers comparable prices, but all new food. Darby Donahue, owner of Gourmet Alternatives Catering Company on campus and Gourmet Alternatives Cafe on Filmore Street in Cherry Creek, has leased the Mercantile for the next six years. Donahue assures everyone that Lhe menu will take a turn for the better. "It's going to have much more of a cafe feel to it than the old Mercantile," Donahue said. "We're upgrading the coffee and the sandwiches that are offered." Even though Donahue plans many changes, there is one thing he plans on keeping the same - the employees. He said he feels the people that work there add personality to the establishment. The manager of the old Mercantile will remain. Four other employees will stay as well. 'The setup will basically stay the same," Donahue said, "but we are putting a new finish on the tables and painting the place." Pictures of the original Mercantile, built in 1906, will hang on the walls "giving it that authentic feeling," Donahue said. Apart from the business, Donahue said he wants to be actively involved on campus. He said that supplying an upstairs room for student conferences and other interac-

GETTING GUTTED: The inside of the Mercantile on Ninth Street Park is in disarray as it undergoes remodeling. The new and improved restaurant offers students an upgraded menu, including fresh bagels and gourmet coffee, and items with a vegetarian take. "The Mere" re-opened Thursday, with ttie addition of umbrella-shaded tables outside on its patio. tions would give a sense of community on campus. Donahue said he feels that "appreciation days" for the faculty and students are necessary. Bargains such as coffee cards, buy nine cups of coffee get the tenth one free, and a value menu that starts at $I. 75 will change weekly for variety. New menu items will have a strong vegetarian take, such as Donahue's famous Spinach Melt, voted by the National Dairy Board as one of the top-seven sandwiches
in the United States and used in a national advertising campaign. Outside, the tables will be sanded. varnished and shaded by new umbrellas. Donahue promises to keep variety and an open mind for the next six years by supplying suggestion cards for customers to voice their opinions on how the new cafe is serving the Auraria Campus.
'Toads in Garden' named best of Denver Coffeehouse series opens mike, helps define poetry community Elana Ashanti Jefferson The METROPOLITAN
''T
oads in the Garden," the Thursday evening poetry series at the Tivoli 's coffeehouse, The Daily Grind, was voted Best Poetry Series in Denver by Westword. Catherine O ' Neill, the host of "Toads in the Garden," said the location of the series has encouraged its success. A graduate of Metro and former editor of Metrosphere, Metro's literary and arts magazine. O' Neill currently edits the notfor-profit poetry newsletter and calendar Poiesis. O'Neill said coffeehouses and poetry readings go hand in hand. "People like to .come to an attractive place, where the food is good and there is no smoke, and listen to poetry," she said. "Toads in the Garden" contributes to the educational mission of the campus. "My whole goal is to educate a highlyuncducated student population about poetry." She encourages students to come on Thursday nights and read their own work, or that of their favorite writers.
"Reading in public is the final stage of revision ... if it doesn't connect with the audience, it's not poecry. It's self-indulgence," she said. O'Neill introduced the idea for the series to the management of The Daily Grind when it opened last fall. "Toads in the Garden" draws enough people during mid-semester breaks that The Daily Grind stays open on Thursday evenings. The series offers an open-mike from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m., and then one featured reader. " I like the open-mike part," said Charmaine Lindsay, who often attends the readings. Her companion, Cynthia Chatcher, agreed. "The readings here are better than most places. The features are always good." Chatcher, however, does not think The Daily Grind was the best place for the series. "It doesn't really feel like a coffeehouse," she said. A $2 cover charge is collected at the door ($1 for students), and goes directly to the featured poet. 'They should be paid like any other laborer," O'Neill said. "There is money in
poetry. [f you promote it well, get people to pay attention to poetry, they will be moved by it, they will begin to understand and like it." The title, "Toads in the Garden" , is

taken from a poem by Marianne Moore, that underlines the importance of understanding the creativity and spirituality behind poetry. Moore wrote that the poet should be a literalist of the imagination and should present "imaginary gardens
with real toads in them." Poets have not been viable 10 modern society because of the materialistic culture, O' Neill said. "Poetry offers spiritual awareness . It is stark and truthful," she said. These characteristics have often contrasted with popular culture, she added. The newsletter Poiesis has been a tool for drawing diverse audiences and poets to the Thursday evening series. O'Neill said poets often travel through Colorado looking for opportunities to read, and they find out about "Toads in the Garden" from reading Poiesis. 'The contemporary poetry scene is vital in Denver," O'Neill said. Functions like "Toads in the Garden." and the increased readership of Poiesis. have given definition to the poetry community throughout Colorado, she said. Colorado poets are taken more seriously. arc ahlc lo network, and have an opportunity to gel published, she said. Featured readers arc scheduled to appear on Thursday nights at The Daily Grind throughout the summer. For more information call The Daily Grind at 573-

et me start by saying there is not a single piece of work related to Woody Allen ttiat I have not thoroughly enjoyed. With that out of the way, here. is my objective review of Allen's Play It Again, Sam, now onstage at The Avenue Theater. This play con_!ains the intelligent, selfdeprecating humor that is the trademark of this theatrical and cinematic genius.Woody Allen shoots brilliant oneliners throughout the show like they were corriing from an M-16. He also tells a touching story about the difficulties we encounter when we end relationships. The play opens with Allan Felix .(Duane Black) watching a late night Humphrey Bogart movie. Allan finds comfort in the tough guy image of Bogart. It has been helping him cope with life since his wife walked out. Bogart (Steven St. James) offers his 1940s motion picture advice to Allan, to which Allan has difficulty relating. Allan desperately tries to listen, but what works for Bogart does not work for Allan. "I can't do that she'll slap my face," Allan says. "I've had my face slapped many times," Bogart replies. "Yeah, but your glasses don't go flyfog across the room," laments Allan. Allan turns to his best friend Dick (Stacy Carson) and his wife Linda (Heidi Olson) for help. Dick is a workaholic-businessman, who, in the pre-cellular phone era, must call his. answering service to leave a trail of phone numbers where he can be reached. Linda is the dutiful housewife and perennial psychoanalyst patient. Linda and Allan compare analyst stories and anxiety cures, and their neurosis draws them closer. Dick and Linda arrange a series of blind dates and pick-up opportunities for Allan, with no success. Allan and Linda continue to spend time with each other until the play flies into a hilarious scene of sexual fantasies, jealous lovers, more help from Bogart and cold, stark panic. Most of the action is an extension of Allan's overactive imagination. The actors play out these fantasies and by the end everyone has had a good time, including the actors. Duane Black finds his role as Allan Felix. Black is comfortal:!le and at ease with this uncomfortable and nervous character. This is not a comment about Black as a person, but one of him as an actor. I have seen the film version of Play It
t
A SHOT OF FUN: Duane Black plays Allan Felix in The Avenue Theater production of Woody Allen's classic comedy, Play It Again, Sam. This story about a neurotic divorce· looking for love will keep you lal(ghing.
Again, Sam at least four times, but I quickly accepted Black in this classic Woody Allen role. The supporting cast members are equally at home in their roles. They bounce back from the normal action of the play to the outlandish scenes sparked by Allan's imagination. In one of Allan's fantasies Stacy Carson, who plays Dick, goes from an understanding husband to a jealous Italian lover, all in a matter of seconds. The staging of this show is done with split second timing. Actors make full-scale costume changes in the blink·of an eye. Dana Kerwin plays seven different roles, from a suicidal art gallery patron to go-go dancer. The humble set is well suited to the action; basic but believable. Light queues were crisp and dramatic enough to follow the contrasting scenes. This play will keep you laughing, even if you do not like Woody Allen's movies. It's the uniqueness and spontane-
ity of this live show that keeps you smiling. I highly recommend you wear a Depends undergarment, because you might just laugh till you ... well you know.
Play It Again, Sam re-opens Friday
at The Avenue Theater, 2119 E,, 17th Ave. The play runs through ,.~pt. 16 at 8 p.m. on Fndays and·Saturdays.
