Republicans take Metro to court Club says non-discrimination policy a violation of Constitutional rights Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

The College Republicans are waging a legal war against the powers that be of three of Colorado's largest campuses. The club filed suit Oct. 25 in the U.S. District Court of Colorado against a number of defendants, including Metro, over a situation that came to bear Feb. 10. The club refused to sign a form prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. According to the lawsuit, the College Republicans of the University of Northern Colorado have been kicked off campus for refusing to sign a similar form, while the Colorado State University branch of the club has had several privileges revoked for not signing a similar form. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against Metro President Sheila Kaplan, Metro Student Activities Director Zav Dadabhoy, Romaine Pacheco, president of the Colorado State Board of Agriculture

(governing board of Colorado State siding, he was asked to sign Metro Student University) and Thomas Emment, head of Organization's Form IA, which specified student organizations at the University of that the " ... club will not discriminate on Northern Colorado, "compelling them to the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, disability or grant official recognisexual orientation." tion to (each campuses' Batterman refused respective) to sign the form, College stating it not only Republicans."

"If someone came into a meeting and started bragging about their pedophilistic weekend, I want to have the ability to say, 'hey, that kind of behavior is inappropriate,' and kick that person out of my club. (Form I A) restricts, if not eliminates that ability." The College Republicans are also asking for a declaration denouncing Governor Roy Romer's December 1990 "Executive Order in Celebration of Human Rights," on the basis that it also infringes on the aforementioned First Amendment rights. According to Alison Ruttenberg, counsel for the plaintiffs, she has not yet served the defendants, as she has just received confirmation for preliminary pretrial conference dates. "I'll be serving them in the next couple of days, and then they have 60 days to reply ... the earliest a trial can be set is September of '96, which is fast for U.S. district court, but still a long time."

Faculty Senate waits on grade appeal vote Professors want more time to review student comments

club.

Metro faculty have yet to decide whether students will have a say in revising the grade appeals procedure. The latest version of the procedure, edited by Metro Student Government members along with the Senate Academic Policies Committee and Scott Silzer, Metro's attorney, was presented to the Metro Faculty Senate Oct. 25. The Senate decided to postpone a vote to accept the draft until their next meeting on Nov. 8, so members would have time to study the revisions. One of the revisions raising the faculty's hackles is the reduction of the Grade Review Committee from 11 members to six, while retaining a position for a student member, to be appointed by Student Government. Lisa Scott, SGA's vice-president for Student Services, spoke to the Senate about students' role in the grade appeals process. "I have heard numerous times that there is no place for students in the grading process because we do not assign grades," Scott said. "I would Like to make it perfectly clear that we are not asking to

assign grades. We are saying that students must have a role in making sure this process is equitable for all parties involved." Professor Monys Hagen brought up the legality of opening student records to another student. " Quite simply, whether you want your rights violated or not, there is a law that prevents that," she said. "While there are institutional and legal restraints placed upon faculty to protect privacy and confidentiality, there are no constraints placed upon students once they leave this institution." Student Government member Rodney Lebsock voiced his concerns about the infallibility of professors who put most of a grade's weight on an essay final exam. "How much discretion does a professor have when grading an essay exam or term paper?" he asked the Senate. "You would only know." Other issues addressed at the meeting included inequalities between faculty and student responsibilities in the grade appeal procedure. "If the (Grade Review Committee) can deny the appeal on the basis that the student did not comply with the grade appeal procedure, why is it that the appeal can not be granted on the basis that the professor did not comply with the student grade appeal procedure?" asked Scott. "Maybe the thing you need to be sure of is that the Faculty Senate is not working against you," said Senate President Gene Saxe.

Athletes tired of junk food

Speech team takes prize for verbosity

Events center looking into high-protein, low-fat foods for gym Jennifer Vance The METROPOLITAN

Athletes are disappointed with the selection of health foods in the Auraria Events Center and want more healthy snacks in the vending machines. Sean Rice, Community College of Denver representative for the Food Service Advisory Committee said athletes have expressed concern about the lack of nutritious snacks in the building. The committee plans to conduct a survey to find out exactly what kind of foods the athletes would like to see sold in the building, Rice said. "The athletic facility is excellent and if better food was offered like granola, health bars or Gatorade, more people i:night be in there using it," said John Tewinkle, a Metro rugby player. Amy Haimerl, committee chairwoman said athletes would like to see high protein, low-fat foods in the vending machines. "No real athlete is going to work out and then slam a Coke afterwards," Tewinkle said. ~·It is ridiculous to have a gym with no

healthy foods. It's self-defeating." Haimerl said the committee met with John Cruz, representative for ARAmark, the company that supplies all the vending machines on campus. They discussed what can be done to improve the food offered in the building, Haimerl said. Rice said he will make up a list of foods that the committee would like to see in the vending machines, then give it to Cruz. Haimerl said there is a concern about the cost of these foods. Once the fees are paid to the distributors and to ARAmark, the cost to students may be higher than grocery-store prices. Another option to athletes is the Daily Grind, in the Tivoli which offers healthy foods that the events center vendors do not, said Rice. The committee asked ARAmark to talk to distributors John McDonoughfrhe METROPOLITAN and see if they are interested. Haimerl said they hope for a JUNK FOR JOY: Metro basketball player Amy response from ARAmark soon. Freeman buys junk food in the gym.

Metro's Forensics, the speech and debate team, won first place last weekend in a 54 school nationwide competition at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The team, comprised of seven students, beat Marymount College of California in the final round of The Parliamentary Debate, a threeday debate tournament. Each debate round consists of two teams, each with two members from different schools, debating and philosophizing theories, values, policies and laws. Aimee Loos and Jennifer Barbour won first place this past weekend, yet Loos said she felt the two cannot take all the credit. "The whole team was good enough to make us win," she said. The next tournament the learn is looking forward to will be in two weeks at the University of Denver and at Red Rocks Community College called the Swing competition.

Students not pleased with caterers

Changes in pedestrian traffic may take place to increase the safety of students walking to and from classes. The death of University of ColoradoDenver employee Robin Haggerty in September 1994, prompted a traffic study by BRW Inc., a traffic consulting company, for Auraria. The $20,000 study was paid for by Auraria and the City and County of Denver. According to Andy Chitwood, director of parking, Auraria is working on getting some of the changes implemented if the Auraria Board approves the plan. "Right now, we're working with the city so that we can split .the cost with Auraria's approval," Chitwood said. Chitwood said the reason for splitting the cost is that it is the city's property, but John SwiMhe METROPOLITAN it is mostly Auraria students and faculty walking in those specific areas.

Catering on campus is generating complaints about pricing and caterer responses to problems. Most of the complaints center around Biscuits and Berries, one of three caterers with a three-year contract to cover events in the Tivoli. "One of the concerns presented to me was that Biscuits and Berries may have raised their prices," said Amy Haimerl, Chairwoman of the Food Service Advisory Committee. "This is a concern to me because we want to make catering services feasible for all student groups." When the pricing issue was discussed with Biscuits and Berries at a meeting Monday morning, their catering director, Micki Neely, said that prices had not gone up. Another complaint was that some students think Biscuits and Berries' prices are too high. Many student groups on campus don't have big budgets, Haimerl said. Students become concerned when the price of catering a function is around $300. For some groups that is an entire year's budget. 'There is definitely a communication gap here because students don't know to call us about such concerns as pricing," said Tim lvano, general manager for Biscuits and Berries. 'There's no sense with us being here and not being able to work with students." "They (students) open the brochure and their mouths drop," Haimerl said. "Students don't know that they can call Biscuits and Berries and they will work with students and their budgets." Community College of Denver student Shawn Rice, chairman of Student Advisory Council, recently registered a complaint with Haimerl about Biscuits and Berries. Rice was hosting a state confer-

ence on Oct. 14 and hired Biscuits and Berries to cater the event. "I ordered breakfast for 80 people, and the first 65 people ate all the food," Rice said. "I called to request food for 20 more people and there was no answer, so I left a message." Rice said the additional food never came. Neely said that they have four phonelines and students should leave messages on the voice-mail line if they can't get through. "We check our voice mail extremely often and we got no such message from Mr. Rice on that day." Rice said that at lunch they ran out of several items, including plates, napkins, breadsticks and salad-dressing. "I ordered lunch for 100 people, and 87 were there," Rice said. "They shouldn't have run out." When the issue was addressed with Biscuits and Berries. Neely said the food was dropped off that day for breakfast and there was enough for I00 people. "It's the worst thirig when something like this happens," lvano said. "People say that there wasn't enough food and then we go back there and there is food left over. Things like this are the kiss-ofdeath to a business like ours." Neely suggested that a person be chosen to enhance communications. Haimerl agreed and is looking into such a position.

Health center takes a shot at fighting the flu Steve Titus The METROPOLITAN

An epidemic is poised to overrun students, threatening to flood the campus health center with the afflicted. Before you start searching the trees for diseased monkeys, you should know that we're talking about the flu and the common cold. According to doctors, cold and flu viruses account for more unnecessary trips to the doctor than anything else and this is the season for them. With this in mind, the Auraria Health Center, located in the Plaza Building, has set up a special flu immunization facility for a quick and almost painless deterrent to these ailments. The shots are available in the lobby of the health center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday at a cost of $7.00 each. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and is handled on a walkin basis. The center will continue to administer the vaccine until the 1000 doses they have are exhausted. Since Oct. 23, 276 have been administered.

Tamara Wristen, a physician 's assistant at the center, said a bout of the flu can last from one to three week!'.. She said typical flu symptoms include a sore throat, muscle aches, dry cough, dizziness and a fever. "Some people (who get a flu shot) might suffer a reaction but it's usually a low-grade flu that lasts only a couple of days," she said. She said getting immunized does not guarantee you won' t get the flu so she offered the following suggestions to avoid getting sick. •Get a flu shot. •Wash your hands, not j ust before meals but regularly throughout the day. •Eat properly. •Get enough rest. If you get sick, Wristen said Acetaminophen is the best over-thecou nter med ication. Tylenol and Theraflu are two brand names for this pain reliever. "If symptoms like a high fever (IOI to 102 degrees) last for more than a couple of days, you should come in to see us and get some stronger antibiotics," she said.

METROPOLITAN NOVEMBER 3, 1995

Hey! That's my grade Like many of you reading this, I have never been through the grade-appeal process. I have one year remaining here at Metro and the possibility still exists that I might become acquainted with the grade-appeal process. In an attempt to shed light on another real possibility of grading discretion my colleague, Lisa Scott, and myself addressed the Faculty Senate at the Oct. 25 meeting. The following, is what I had to say as a student and includes input from many of you. Issue one: I have heard that a few of you have questions about students being able to correctly and objectively judge their peers. I would like to point out a few things. The average age of the Metro student is 27-years old. In many cases students that attend Metro are not students who are attempting their first trip around the block following high school graduation. As a student member on the Grade Review Committee, I would be the first person to stand up for you as professors if one of my peers was to make a fraudulent allegation which lacked any support. Metro State is a commuter college and I am not aware of any of my peers who would enjoy wasting time, sitting on a committee in addition to doing their own schoolwork, and listening to unsupported allegations. Issue two: Speaking of peers I would like to discuss them for a moment. One of your distinguished peers served on our second grade-appeal forum as a panelist. In her discussion she aimed to make it perfectly clear to the attending students that she was not our peer; therefore, students have no business serving on the Grade Review Committee. Additionally, she went further, backing up her position by bringing up student. confidentiality issues. I would like to point out to her

Peers. I for one do not consider any of you as my peers. I did not spend four years stationed aboard a Trident Submarine racking up 500-plus days of submerged sea time thinking about returning to Colorado and paying the salaries of my peers. If any of you think of me as a peer; I want you to know that I think you are too expensive, and I must sever the peer relationship. Issue three: Metro State believes strongly in the essay examination or end of semester term paper. I have completed classes here at Metro where nearly 100 percent of my grade depended on the writing of essay answers. How much discretion does a professor have when grading an essay exam or term paper. Yo'u would only know. I've been asked by students to suggest a possibility to you. 1. You're a student in a class. 2. It's one of those essay classes I've mentioned. 3.The professor is lecturing and once in a while throws out a few of his or her beliefs, either educational or personal. You notice student's routinely chal-

lenge the professor beliefs, not disrespectful or disruptive behavior. Does positive academic discourse · ever have an effect on a student's grade? Once again only you would know. What happens in the unlikely event that a student is found to be correct in their unfair grading allegations? According to draft 6 of the Grade Appeal Procedure, page 5 under student options. It states: 1. If passing the student gets a (P) on their transcript, an (NC) or keeps the instructor's original grade. 2. If failing the student gets an (NC). 3. In both situations the student is allowed to retake the course with the tuition waived. What a great deal! I'm sure all of you would be happy with this procedure if you were the students. Not only will they be able to attend a free class, but there is a good possibility that here at Metro they will have the same professor. The student even gets to complete a lot of the same homework. After going through such a lengthy process, celebration is along the lines of a tearful event. What happens to the biased professor? Nothing! Why can't the committee change the grade, allow professors from the other department who teach the class to look over the work, even the chairman or chairwoman of the appropriate department. Remember, you have five peers on this committee. Whose peers are not being allowed to objectively judge whose peers?

Letters An opportunity for understanding is precious Dear Editor: 'Truth never damages a cause that is just"-Mohandas K. Ghandi. Too often we see individuals in our society quick to jumpthe-gun and criticize others. Too often these people have not done or cannot do the job better themselves. Unfortunately, here at Metro, where we preach higher education, ignorance often prevails. Such ignorance was illustrated to us by Brett Hasselton's (editorial) in last week's issue of The Metropolitan. The question during the Arab-Awareness week in the Arab/Jewish dialogue was "can we live together?" Both sides, Arab and Jewish, came with strong ties, beliefs and feelings to their cause. Both sides suffered a lot of pain. Yet, regardless of what some people may say, the students here at Metro answered this question. Both sides worked together, friendships were made, and there was nothing but support and respect for each other so when asked "can we live together?" the answer is "yes." For years Palestinians and Israelis have lived in hate, anger and violence. For years we have seen innocent bloodshed and too many lives lost. We are tired of the situation. This is not an "Arab conflict" this is an Arab/Jewish conflict. Then, when we bring students together to discuss alternative solutions. Hasselton criticizes.

The complete picture to the situation is this: THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE! So why is it such a terrible thing, in a place of higher education, to discuss this peace. Can we not attempt to show the people that there is more to the Arab/Israeli conflict than hate and anger. As a member of the Arab community, I think the Jewish community was very well represented by · respectable, and highly educated people, as was the Palestinian side. I also think that it seems easy for Hasselton to discredit these participants, especially when he had the opportunity but chose not to participate himself. This idea of the Arab-Awareness week was the first of its kind to be introduced to Metro. Despite the many obstacles we were faced with, the events were successful. To the participants, observers, and supporters I say thank you and commend you. I would like us all to consider these words by Viscountess Nancy Astor, a British politician, "real education should educate us out of self into something far finer-into selflessness; which links us with all humanity." -Jeana Khalaf vice president of Arab Americans of Auraria

It was the call for gold that led settlers to a place they called Auraria. A century later it was the call for a place of higher education that would transform the Auraria neighborhood into a campus. The rest is history - the history of Auraria. . It all began with the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1858. Seven ounces of gold was all the Russell brothers, William. Levi and Oliver, panned out of the South Platte on a hot day in July 1858. It wasn't much, but it was enough for them to stake out claims. In remembrance of their hometown back in Georgia, they named the tiny settlement Auraria - the Latin word for gold. In the same year, a new settlement sprung up east of Auraria. General William Larimer, a former Pennsylvania Militia general, called it Denver. An intense rivalry between the two settlements was quickly ended when the first stagecoach arrived in Denver in 1860, thus establishing Denver's supremacy. On the cold, moonlit night of April 6, 1860, a ceremony on Larimer Street Bridge unified the two settlements and Auraria became west Denver. Between 1860 and 1920 a steady stream of immigrants chose Auraria to build their Victorian neighborhood. First came German and Irish immigrants later settlers of Mexican and Spanish heritage joined them. The community flourished for the next 40 years until Auraria slowly succumbed to warehouse structures in the 1960s. Meanwhile, Denver experienced an immense economic growth. The demand of higher education grew in the years after World War II and employers had increasing trouble finding skilled workers. Up to the war, the University of Denver had sent a steady stream of graduates into the business world, but

following the war DU began to establish a national reputation, upgrading their requirements and increasing their tuition. The business community felt that Denver's post-secondary needs were not met and pressured the legislature of 1962 to created a special-task group. Chaired by then State Representative Roy Romer, the committee was charged with assessing the needs of metropolitan Denver in higher education. In less then eight months the results were out. A college was needed in the heart of Denver. The recommendation quickly spread through the legislature, eventually leading to the establishment of "Metropolitan State College" in 1.963. Opposition quickly sprung to life. University of Colorado officials opposed a new college and lawmakers couldn't agree if a vocational type of school or a four-

year college was needed. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees of Colorado State Colleges went to work designing a plan for the new college. In 1965, !awmakers received bound copies of the "Trustees Report on the Plan of Operation for Metropolitan State College" and by the end of the legislative session $750,000 was appropriated to fund the new college. Now the race against time was on. The trustees had less than five months to hire staff and faculty, find classrooms and create a curriculum. On Oct. I, 1965, 1, 189 students registered at Metropolitan State College to start classes three days later in seven different locations. Exceeding all expectations, the student body continContinued page 14

Before Auraria became a bustling higher education center, there was a close-knit community that was dismantled and forgotten. A neighborhood that endured over 50 years and three generations of families. This community covered a 38-block ar-ea known as Auraria. The community's demise came to a head when it was acquired through local and federal funds by the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA), which planned to sell the neighborhood to the State of Colorado to build ' the Auraria Higher Education Center. In all, approximately 155 families,. 49 individuals and 237 businesses were forced to move out in the early 1970s. This community was promised many things, including that the people of Auraria would be kept together and relocatetl. However, in the words of John Nieto, the president of the organization Displaced Aurarians, the promise "was garbage." "Nobody ever realized what they meant by keeping the community together," Nieto said. "People were dispersed throughout tbe state." Nieto, who was born in Auraria, west of the Tivoli at l 022 Larimer St.. lived in the neighborhood until 1972. He was 26 when his family was displaced. Nieto recalls hearing that tbetfamilie_s hlVI lo move out when DURA started informing people in 1969 that sometime in the future they might be displaced. Later that year, the city called for a special bond election to secure funds for the project. Father Pete Garcia, assistant pastor of St. Cajetan's Church, helped the people organize the Auraria Residents Organization, Inc. (ARO). Members of ARO spoke with city planners, learned about what was happening and developed a strong opposition to the bond election. Auraria rf'.sidents campaigned all over the city. They dispersed leaflets at all the Catholic churches throughout Denver. The group was confident they were winning the battle to save their neighborhood. But things took a terrible turn. The Sunday. before the election, Archbishop James Casey sent a letter to all of the Cathol,. Churches in Denver that was to be read fro the pulpit encouraging all Catholics to vote for the bond issue. It is unclear why the archbishop did this, but there has been speculation that he knew DURA was a strong force and he wanted to save what he could, such as St. Elizabeth's Church. There is also speculation that he wasn't supportive of the Hispanic community. The community was predominately Hispanic by 1969, as most of the Irish and German families moved out in the early '60S.

Those who rented were given approximately $1000 to $1500 to move out, and that amount was dispersed over a two year period, Nieto said. Those who owned homes were ~ven about $5,000, but it was a take-it-orleave-it situation for most. ''Everything was not equal," Nieto said. "The amounts paid to people were not sufficient. Everyone came out a loser down there." The initial feeling of most people was~· "What can you do?" Nieto said. There were f~elings of hopelessness, but people fought up until the end, he added. Another displaced Aurarian is Kathleen Gallegos, who was born at 1068 Ninth St. Her grandmother owned the house for at least 50 years. >- Gallegos said the displacement was shocking, because everybody knew one another. "It was a close and very safe neighborhood and there were lots of kids," she emphasized. Her memories of Auraria are fond, as sbe spent the first 20 years of her life in the n~ighborhood. Nieto also said that the Aurarians were promised that their children would be able to attend one of the three colleges on the campus. However, it is unclear who promised this, as it ;ias .oral¥ talk4d about and never a ~ritten or formal agreement. The goal of Displaced Aurarians is to ensure that the displaced families and their children receive educational assistance from all three Auraria schools, Nieto said. Although the schools are offering some ~istance, from 1973 to 1987 the schools acted as if they had always been there and the agreement was ignored. Under the program there are currently 21 students attending Metro and one attending University of Colorado-Denver, Nieto said. ' The group has had the most success with Metro President Sheila Kaplan, Community C,ollege of Denver accounting professor Santos Blan said. Blan's family lived in Auraria but moved before they were forced out. - • Kaplan said she would pledge $25,000 in scholarships each year for the families of the Displaced Aurarians, Nieto said. Although Kaplan has cooperated, Blan said, 'The vision for a shared campus and the idea of providing a comprehensive education ~s not happened." . ·Blan said he thinks of his old neighborhood as a lost nurturing environment. "People looked out for each other. Neighbors didn't allow children to go bad," Blan said. ~ 'There was a strong sense of community th~ isn't evident today."

Tivoli tackles tough times Joelle Conway The METROPOLITAN

The Tivoli has witnessed Auraria's history for over 120 years. It began as a brewery, became an opera house, then a cultural gathering spot, later a shopping center and finally a student union for the Auraria Campus. The Tivoli's white-and-blue colored past began with German-born Moritz Sigi, who opened a modest Brewery in 1866. Sigi came to Denver in hope of finding gold but after six years of fruitless searching, he entered the brewing business and started to build what would later become one of the landmarks of Auraria. Sigi's brew-house was a humble Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN building until 1870 when Sigi constructThe Tivoli shines in a new light.

It's like an oasis in a hectic campus. Once inside the Emmanuel Gallery, you are completely taken away from the outside world to enjoy a quiet and peaceful moment. Standing in the gallery, surrounded by white walls and wooden floors in a very contemporary atmosphere, it is hard to believe that this is

Denver's oldest church building. The Emmanuel Gallery was built in 1876 as an Episcopalian chapel. In 1903, the congregation of Shearith Israel bought Emmanuel and converted it into a synagogue. After half a century, regular services ceased in 1958 as the Jewish population in Auraria declined. In the same year, artist Wolfgang

Pogzeba bought the church and used it as his studio. During this time, the Emmanuel Chapel had been approved for listing on the National Register of Historical Places. Four years later, in 1973 the Emmanuel Gallery became part of the Auraria Campus. Since then it has served all three institutions as an art gallery.

From page 11 ued to grow. By 1967 enrollment reached 3,591 and rent for office space would soon exceeded $1 million. The enrollment figures steadily climbed and by 1971 classes were taught in 13 different buildings. "We really were the roadrunners," reme·mbers Lillie Fuller, who went to Metro for a sociology degree between 1972 and 1976. "I constantly ran around, crossing Colfax several times a day." The search for a permanent site for Metro had started in the mid- l 960s and Auraria had been mentioned as a possible option. By then a rundown neighborhood, hit hard by the 1965 Platte flood, Auraria had been declared an urban renewal project in 1969. But Metro wasn' t the only institution looking for a permanent site. Community College of Denver, which had been created in 1967 and University of Colorado at Denver. which had become an accredited institution three years earlier, also needed a place to accommodate a growing student body. 'There was the question if the legislature would approve Auraria for a single institution," said Frank Abbott, who headed the Colorado Commission of Higher Education at the time and has been credited with having the idea of housing the three schools on one cam-

pus. 'The idea just sort of came out of the woodwork," he said, refusing to take credit for the idea himself. In 1970 the legislature appropriated $1.9 million for planning and acquisition. A year later Governor John Love, by executive order, created the Auraria Board of Directors as a permanent governing body of the Auraria Campus. The transformation of the Auraria neighborhood into a campus wasn' t without opposition. Aurarians fought to keep their neighborhood intact, but after a bond issue of $6 million had been approved by Denver voters in 1969 and state and federal funds began to trickle in, plans for clearing of the neighborhood materialized. Construction for the "megacampus" as it was called in the daily press, started in 1974 and during Christmas of 1976 Metro staff and faculty started to move into the new home. "Mud, there was mud everywhere," remembers Mabel Lemmerman, who has been a computer programmer for Metro since the 1970s. "Electricity was on and off, the fire alarm went off at least once everyday, but we were all excited to have our own place." On a cold winter morning in January 1977 classes at the three schools on the newly erected Auraria campus commenced.

Financing fat city "'""' Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

. Early in 1972 the Auraria Board of Directors gathered up their plans and went lobbying the General Assembly for funding of the Auraria Campus. 'The future size and scope of the Auraria center will largely depend upon legislative action in this session," Metro's student newspaper reported in January 1972 quoting one lawmaker's saying that if they would get their appropriation "the project will be sitting in fat city." Auraria at the time was the major project in the state and funding was one of the major problems. When the campus opened in 1974, almost $85 million had been spent.

You can take this magnificent journey at the exhibit "Surveying the West: Stupendous and Remarkable Manifestations," showing at the Metro Center for the Visual Arts. The exhibit is a collection of nearly 100 paintings, drawings, maps, photos and objects which document early surveying expeditions of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The works are unique in that they were created long ago and, due to their fragility, they may never again be on public display. Beginning with the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806 and extending into the early-20th century, there were dozens of surveys of the West, usually led by military officers or scientists. Their job was to inspect and Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN scrutinize the lands they explored, noting physical feaPICTURE THIS: Photos taken in the 19th and 20th centuries line the wall of the Metro Center for tures, drawing maps, securing natural and geographic Visual Arts.

Students work for social change in 'Project Connect' Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

n its first year of existence, "Project Connect" can be called a successful community service program, according to its creator. "Project Connect" is a collection of events planned throughout November encouraging student involvement in community service. These events include seminars, luncheons and service projects. Associate Director of Metro Student Activities Mariam Taft said she created the program as an extension to the annual "Into the Streets" presentation. "Into the Streets" was originally a one-day volunteer program, where hundreds of people were mobilized to go into the community and take on service projects, such as building a house. Now, "Into the Streets" is just a facet of "Project Connect." The program was launched Oct. 18 and will end Nov. 30: "I really wanted to design something

...

with a Jong-term commitment to social change," Taft said. "Project Connect" is a result of a joint effort between Metro and the Community College of Denver's Office of Student Activities. "I tried desperately to get UCD (University of Colorado-Denver) involved, but I got the feeling they were just too short-staffed to afford the time," Taft said. "It's a great opportunity for students to get involved with issues of social change," said Paul Kosempel, events coordinator for CCD's office of Student Activities. He said his involvement with the program was a result of his occupation, but his commitment to community service was a big driving factor. This community service sentiment was shared by all those involved with its creation. Those included were Ora Watson and Kris Binard from the CCD office of Student Activities, and Metro stuContinued page 18

The METROPOLITAN

'Copycat' true diabolical delight Talented cast headed by Weaver emphasizes originality of characters Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

ove over Seven, a new suspense thriller is on its way. Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter combine to make a super-sleuth combo that is sure to give Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt tough boxoffice competition. While the story behind Copycat may not be completely original, it develops its own uniqueness with the story of a psychopathic serial killer who is terrorizing the San Francisco Bay area by reenacting the killing habits of past serial killers. The killer seems to be randomly choosing which serial killer he will personify next, until criminal psychologist, Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver), recognizes his frightening pattern. Dragged into the thick of the investigation by Detective M.J. Monahan (Holly Hunter), Hudson finds herself deeper in the mind of the maniac than she would like. Monahan and Hudson realize the murderer is recreating murder scenes of notorious serial killers, such as Jeffrey Dahmer,

the Boston Strangler, the Son of Sam, and Ted Bundy, but has now woven Hudson into his murderous plans. Director Jon Amie! (Sommersby), lures us with the psyche of a serial killer with an emphasis on the seemingly normal or average appearances of some of history's most notorious serial killers. As agoraphobic criminal psychologist Helen Hudson, Weaver portrays a heroine who is vulnerable yet strong in the same way she made Alien the deep-space screamer it was. Hunter completes the combo as tenacious police detective M.J. Monahan, who is determined to get Hudson's expert help. Hunter reminds us why she has an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award on her mantel. She brings to life the street-seasoned yet feminine detective Monahan. Harry Connick Jr. (Memphis Belle) removes any pretty-boy images he may have had with his role as the incarcerated serial killer, Daryll Lee Cullum. Cullum, who was apprehended when he tried to murder Hudson and has now developed a strong cult following and becomes a consultant of sorts from his prison cell.

HIDING OUT: Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver) plays the criminal psychologist who recognizes the frightening pattern of the copycat serial killer in the new film Copycat. Connick, who may already be overloaded with talent, plays a serial killer who closely rivals Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. Amie! draws on some basic fears to help us feel the terror Hudson faces. Dark backgrounds, graphic use of murder scenes, and an all-too believable homicidal maniac makes Copycat a true diabolical

delight. Besides the mimicked-murder scenes, some of the character usage in Copycat seems to have a certain Silence of the Lambs peculiarity behind it. Some may find this kind of similarity as a cheap spinoff, but the extremely talented cast puts emphasis on the originality of the characters. not on the unoriginal story line.

dents Emily Suslak and Elenka Jarolnek. "We were very interested in helping students to see what contributions they can make to the community," Kosempel said. One of the events planned is a World Reality Luncheon on Nov. 2 in Tivoli 440, from 11:30 a.m. IO I :30 p.m. Kosempel said students attending will be assigned an identity, such as a peasant from India or a member of the Bangladesh ruling class. Then, they will be given food according to their status. "The peasant might get, say, a bowl of rice with no silverware, as opposed to the member of the Bangladesh ruling class, who will get a full-course meal with service on linen," Kosempel said. He added that this was a good way to demonstrate the extreme class-differences around the world. The luncheon is just one of many different events planned for the month-and-ahalf of programming. '.'Project Connect" still has many openings for participants. Still on the slate for the next two weeks are luncheons, poetry readings, "Into the Streets," a food drive and more. "We have become so immune to things that to integrate social justice into our lives has fallen by the wayside," Taft said. "Why is that happening?" She said that this is the crux of the whole program, introducing social justice

CoPIRG (The Colorado Public Interest Research Group) Is a statewide, student directed organization that works to protect the environment, consumers and democratic rights. CoPIRG is funded by the $4.00 waivable fee which students have voted for every three years since 1987.

into the ljves of the participants. "Into the Streets," is one way to accomplish that goal. Scheduled as a two-day long immersion, "Into the Streets" has opportunities for volunteers to spend the day at one of more than 40 different service-oriented organizations. These include agencies such as Urban Peale, El Centro Su Teatro, KUVO 89.3, and Planned Parenthood. "Students need to realize that service is not just a one-day thing," Kosempel said. Those interested in participating should contact the Metro Office of Student Activities at 556-2595
