up 1.5 ·.percent

Legislators OK higher ed plans as part of $9.5 billion state budget Christopher Anderson The METRQPOLITAN

Students returning to Metro in the fall will pay one of the lowest resident tuition increases in recent history - close to $I per credit hour. That increase is the result of a 1.5 percent tuition hike given final approval by the Colorado legislature on Tuesday. Non-residents wiJI pay no more than $9.25 more per credit hour for a 3.5 percent increase, according to officials. in Metro's budget office. Metro's tuition, however, still must be approved by its governing board, the Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado. That bottom line means students during the 1997-98 school year who take 12 or less credits will likely pay a •INSIDE: total of $69 per Student credit hour for fees resident tuition increasing and $277.25 per credit hour for -Page 3 non-resident tuition. Prices per credit hour drop for those who take more than 12 credits a semester. Although the 1.5 percent tuition increase is low, Student Government Assembly President William Coker is not impressed. "Unfortunately, the cost !Jf education is still growing," Coker said. "The only thing we can control is how much and how fast, and some of that depends on how fast the state's economy is growing . ... Here at Metro, it is not as stiff as it could be other places." The tuition rate is part of a $9.5 billion state budget that includes financial aid totals of $30.4 million for need-based grants, which is a 12 percent increase; $12.7 million for work-study, which is a 3.8 percent increase and $12.7 million for merit-based grants, which is a 3.1 percent increase. Tuition is increased at the rate of

inflation, which was at 3.5 percent this year. Lawmakers, however, dedicated $4.9 million of general fund money to lower resident tuition to I .5 percent, said Robin Nolan, executive director for the Colorado Student Association, a group that lobbies on behalf of college students. This year's inflation rate is low compared to last year's 4.3 percent and extremely low compared to the I0 percent rate of 15 years ago, Nolan said. The budget, also known as "the Jong bill," now awaits a decision by Gov. Roy Romer. Metro students would have paid an additional 4 percent in tuition on top of the increase for inflation, but members of the Metro Student Government Assembly and Colorado Student Association successfully shot down that hike. That means Metro students would have paid tuition increases of 5.5 percent for residents - $3.75 more per credit hour

- and 7.5 percent for non-residents $20.10 more per credit hour. Metro President Sheila Kaplan sai<j the special 4 percent increase, which would have generated approximately $900,000, would have been spent on improvements in academic advising and mentorship programs. The special 4 percent increase would have been the third phase of a three-year plan to raise tuition 12 percent. Past student government administrations approved the first two phases, believin"g it would improve academic quality. The state budget also gives $14.2 million to the Auraria Higher Education Center for the design and construction of a new clliSsroom building to be built on lot G, the visitor's parking lot near St. Cajetan 's Center. The building will be divided into space for a cultural arts center and regular classrooms. Construction is scheduled to begin in a year, said Dean

Wolf, executive vice president for administration for Auraria. The money covers only the beginning phases of construction. Auraria officials are counting on the _legislature to pay nearly $15 million through future budgeting for the later phases, Wolf said. Auraria also received $2.6 million for maintaining existing structures and equipment. That includes repairing or replacement of: •mechanical systems in the arts building - $871 ,000 •campus roofs - $527,700 • recreational fields, the second phase -$421,000 • Historic Ninth Street Park offices, the second phase - $313,200 • campus- roads and walkways - · $295,000 • fire protection systems, campus buildings - $221,600

Some classes at Metro will require new fees for the upcoming summer and fall semesters. Metro's request for a change in class fees for the summer term was approved April 3, and an additional request for a change in class fees for the fall 1997 term is being presented for approval by the Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado. For the upcoming summer semester, the following fees are proposed: • a $15 fee is proposed for Computer Information Systems Management Science and Department courses CMS 390 A and B (Visual Programming and Advanced Visual Programming) to cover the cost of CD ROM disks. Both courses are expected to earn $900 in revenue. • a $325 fee proposed for Geology Department courses GEL 150 and GEL 190 (Geological · Investigations of the Green River and Advanced Geological Investigations of the Green River) is to cover the cost of food, equipment and river guides. • a fee for Human Performance, Sport and Leisure Studies Department course HPS 390 has been decreased from $25 to $22. Metro will be submitting a request for other fee increases for the fall term at the May trustees meeting. These include: • In the Civil Engineering Technology Department, a $I 0 fee proposed for courses CEN 120 and CEN 121 (Technical Drawing I and II) is to cover the cost of drafting equipment. • a $JO fee proposed for CEN 314 (Mechanics of Materials Lab) is to cover the cost of lab supplies. • a $JO fee proposed for CEN 333 (Environmental Technology) is to cover the cost of chemicals and maintenance of lab equipment.

Kaplan was joined on the panel by Dan Callahan, director of program development for the University of Denver; Georgia Lesh-Laurie, chanceltor of the University of Colorado at Denver; Byron McClenney, president of Community College of Denver and Dean Wolf, executive vice president for adminislration at the Auraria Higher Education Center.

Final briefs filed this week in faculty suit Seventy-two Metro professors are still anticipating the final o\ttcome of an ongoing suit agai nst the school for back pay and damages. The trial portion of the suit ended a few weeks ago. Since the trial has ended, both sides have submitted two briefs, their closing arguments and summaries. The third and final briefs are due before the end of the month. "The trial portion has ended and each side has written a closing argument and reply," said faculty lawyer Steven L. Murray. "On April 29, we submit the proposed findings of fact and the conclusions of law." John Schmidt of the industrial technologies department said, "We're in the wait-and-see mode. Each counsel added their last remarks on the 21st and they're now sitting in the judge's office." Schmidt added that the anticipated decision should come sometime in the middle of May from Judge Robert Hyatt. Metro's attorney, Lee Combs, was unavailable for comment. Aside from back pay, $900,000 is being demanded in a collective increase in base salary.

Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN It was not just a body of water, it was their livelihood. Many of the families who lived along the Hudson River in New York survived off the fish they caught. Then in the early 1960s, Penn Central Pipe decide to use the river to transport oil. It slowly began to kill the river, ruining recreation and killing fish. A group of 30 fam ilies who lived off the river decided that they were not going to stand for it and started Riverkeeper. They found a little known law, the Refuse Act of 1888, which made it illegal to pollute American waters. The group used this Jaw to take down the polluters, and help restore the Hudson, one of the few rivers on the East Coast that is still ecologically viable. The group is now known as the Hudson River Fisherman's Association and has.the help of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who came to the Auraria Campus on Monday to discuss the need to protect Earth.

"I love going to court and fighting with the polluters," Kennedy said. "I love working with the fishing families." Kennedy now employs Jaw students to help search for polluters.

American Indian pan·e1 talks conservation politics Bemada Wallace· The METROPOLITAN Environmental activism needs to take on a militant attitude because conventional methods, like protests, do not mean much anymore, said K.C. Cobb, a Metro student, at an Earth Day workshop. The Tuesday panel was one of the best attended of the four presented that day by the Colorado Public Interest Research Group. The CqPIRG-sponsored Earth Day festivities will continue through the weekend with environmentally friendly exhibits showing and about IO music groups playing on the Auraria athletic fields. The

action starts Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m. and runs until 4:30 p.m. both days. All events are free and open to the public. The public is not aware of many environmental issues, and that is why there is no environmental debate, said panelist Helen Giron-Mushiq, a Metro student. Water rights and toxic waste are two major issues that are troubling the Native American communities~ said Cobb, GironMushiq and panelist Lily Boyce, head of the Metro American Indian Students forEmpowerment. Both Cobb and . Giron-Mushiq agree there needs to be a move in American society away from greedy consumerism for the

benefit of the environment. There are 1,200 toxic waste sites on Indian reservations, Cobb said. and Indians in the West are allotted 1.500 acre feet of water a year, compared to the tens of thousands used by the government annually for the movement of coal slurries. Most Indians have seniority rights over the water, but the federal and state governments choose to ignore that, Cobb said. The Earth is our mother, GironMushiq said. People must come together and become responsible for the planet because environmental health is not just an Indian issue. Students are a resource in this movement, she said, because they are in

Children to pay for dirty Earth KENNEDY from page 5 nation's prosperity was more important than the environment. Why let a·ll of these natural resources sit around when we can sell them off and boost our cash flow? Kennedy said this would be possible. "But our children are going to pay for our joyride," he added. Kennedy said rhe attempt to dismantle federal laws such as the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and the Superfund Law and give control to local communities was a bad move. It was the federal laws, ·he said, that gave local communities power. "When they take those away from us, they are giving control to the corporate boardroom," he said. Hislory has shown that investing in the environment and strengthening the laws has led to economic prosperity. He cited several cities around the world, such as Mexico City, that had relaxed environmental laws and have paid the price. He said America is now a model for such laws. "Our environmental laws are the envy of the world," Kennedy said. "They are trying to copy it while we're trying to dismantle it." Kennedy concluded his speech by talking about how our connection to nature is the foundation of our country, enriching us spiritually and culturally.

OPINION

APRIL 25, 1997

The last ugly wor~ It is indeed letters - angry and uninformative - like Gayle JohnsoA's ("Feminism didn't help," April 11) and Trey Fleisher's (''The thought police," April 18) that should make one flinch with greater force than even the word "rape" on a student flier. According to them, Metro is ruled by fascist women who control their very thoughts. In reality, they should merely control themselves. It must be oh-so-titillating for Ms. Johnson and Mr. Fleisher to use such words and phrases as "fascist," "brown-shirt tactics" and "good old days of Stalin." These gross analogies only belie a concern for language; a concern that Iota Iota Iota brought to bear on the Student Involvement Party. Interested in a dialogue with SIP, Iota raised the issue of [SIP] using the word "rape" in its campaign flier. Rebuffed, Iota resorted to a great democratic activity: the small public show of dissent. It was not Kristallnacht, but two women standing outside of the library, where elections were being held, with a couple ·of posters and a care for the democratic process that led them to measure the very distance they were from the library to comply with American election laws. Ms. Johnson and Mr. Fleisher's choice of words and analogies are not meant to encourage democratic conversation, but to·stem it, closing intelligent debate with the lingo of bullies. All they want to have is the last ugly word. Iota's actions can hardly be deemed "Nazi" tactics. History lessons show how ineffective and insulting the comparison is. Iota, too, never implied that the word "rape" only means the crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, but given the context of SIP's flier - sexual metaphor upon sexual metaphor - how else is an "intelligent person" supposed to read it? Alternative meanings were an afterthought when Iota told SIP of its fojQJg and lack of linguistic tact. I, too, own many dictionaries. I can look up the word "rape" to see that it is a species of European plant, or can mean an abduction. But in the flier's context, the word connotes a great deal more. Words, fortunately for poets and intelligent people, can connote rather than just denote. These connotations are implications beyond a word's literal meaning (the denotation). I dare Mr. Fleisher to use the word "nigger" in its verb form, which means "to burn or char- off land."

'The Met' is too cute As a past student government president and graduate of Metropolitan State College of Denver, I was dismayed at the proposal to change the school's moniker from "Metro" to "The Met." I find it ironic that President Sheila Kaplan proposes in one breath that the institution become more research based, and then with the next breath supports a name change to what seems like a sound bite. I recently enrolled in a language course at Metro. I was horrified to find out that one class with books was almost $500, nearly double what I paid just a few years back. I was unable to afford the class. If I were the president, I would worry less about cute sound bite names and more about keeping the college affordable. Chip Wiman Metro alumnus

Metrosphere ethics I have never taken a journalism class. It is not my major or my job c.hoice. But even I have to protest when the editor of a student publication (Metrosphere) chooses to place six of his own works in the publication. Yes, I submitted something, and it

didn't make it in. Big deal. However, I found out that I didn't make it in when I saw the ad in The Met for the authors' readings at the premiere party! I was never notified as to the status of my submission and even had to ask for my disk back. I can only hope. that the Board of Publications witl consider someone more ethical for that position next year. I am wondering if there would have been more room for students' submissions if his own writing had not been in there. After all, Metrosphere is advertised as a publication of Metro's student writings and art, not the editor's personal farum. Last, but not least, I do not pay student fees for him to get his name in print. Meghan O'Connor Metro student

Error in judgement Mr. Norris: ·we all make errors in judgment and information. Your column of April 18 is in need of correction. I heard about it prior to reading it, and given the gist of the content, I did not expect to respond in writing. However, when I read the charge of the Political Science Association "attacking" Iota Iota Iota, I felt I needed to respond. For your information, Mr. Norris, Gayle Johnson is not, nor has she ever been, a member of PSA, not that she would be unwelcome. I am certain Gayle made no attempt to deceive you about her affiliations. You simply did not check the facts. Nor is it the agenda of PSA to attack campus organizations or individuals, regardless of members' personal opinions. We support the free exchange of ideas. The ideas we do not agree with

play an important role 'in scrutinizing our positions. Sometimes the words of our own mouths cause us to re-evaluate our thinking. I know this has been true in my life. Do you really want to stifle discourse? I doubt it. As for the events that have taken place on campus this semester, I find it lamentable that as soon as students had cause to feel they made a positive contribution, you found a means to discredit them. It is a sad commentary that you would use those events for your own self promotion. Were you really alone in your efforts? I know differently. I am glad you learned some things this semester. I learned a lot, too. I learned it is easy to do unintentional damage by a word spoken in the heat of the moment. I also learned there is more than enough distrust to go around. It was commendable that such a diverse group was able to work together for a common cause. Now, if we could just learn to value each other. That would be a far greater accomplishment. Mickey Mumby Political Science Association President Metro student

Point missed Once again, Gary Norris devoted an entire column to slamming me. In the pas( I have refrained from responding because I felt his foot-inthe-mouth tactics were self-evident. Once again my point has gone over his head with plenty of clearance. But I realized that there are students out there who don't know that he is again spouting off without all the facts. Not only am I not a leader of the Political Science Association, I am not a member, nor affiliated in any way. For that matter, any activities I have participated in have been solely on my own volition, and are not associated with any group or club on campus. It is unfortunate that Gary's dislike of me lead to an unfair assessment of PSA. While he may have spent two days organizing a protest, these individuals spent two months behind the scenes, quietly motivating hundreds of individuals into action. Because they weren't visible doesn't mean that they weren't effective. It is also shortsighted to criticize any group who takes action against injustice because their methods don't conform to your own. I apologize if there were other students who mistakenly believed I represented PSA and felt that I reflected poorly on this fine organization. But I do not apologize for anything I have done or said this .semester that offends Gary. Maybe if he tried information rather than conjecture, I would turn out to be nqt quite so bad after all. Gayle Johnson Metro student

Strengthen student government Recent involvement in student government elections reveals a potential for meaningful student politics at Metro. More people ran for office than usual and a record number of students voted. If apathy is breaking down, then it's time to seek ways to maintain interest. The campus can become a microcosm of the larger political world in the spirit of an intellectual and social adventure. Experimenting with positive modes of political campaigning, it can be · better than the macrocosm. Students might be required to obtain 50 signatures in order to be on the ballot. This creates more legitimacy of representation and forces candidates to speak with the people they might be representing. Lengthening the campaign process might promote a better student government and foster a more serious political environment yet with a spirit of fun. Politics is socializing with a purpose. If you like to talk to people, it can be fun to find challenging issues and discuss them with other students. With respect for diversity in opinion, difference can be the spark for creative ideas rather than a rationale for competitive power plays. Student involvement can be made

. . . . - - - - - - -..... accessible in many ways. How about initiating telephone or computer voting? ACTV could do news shows on campus issues. Rather Mary than mimickTrad1i ing the shallow, narrow coverage of mai".lstream TV, students might challenge themselves to cover issues in depth. ACTV could cover student government debates and air them at different times to further student awareness. Individual campaign literature can be used to educate students about the offices as well as the candidates. Increased student involvement might require more student representation with "at-large" seats. Who has the authority to change the constitution for this? The small group on student government? Are these wild musings or real possibilities for stimulating • student activism? We don't have a Vietnam to motivate student activism. The failure of the 1960s was that reforms left the

political system unchanged and the influence of moneyed interests continues. The college campus could be a laboratory where students rediscover American ideals of the political realm as a human place. Philosophy professor Timothy Gould says, ''The desire for a political realm is a version of the desire that human speech be effective in the human realm." This idea elevates the purpose of the political realm from a struggle for power toward a human interaction that is fruitful. Politics as an expression of the self through the expression of interests is a way toward creative solutions. Students may agree on changes but disagree as to how or who or when. Common interests can be a starting point for enlivening political process with consensus building skills that can be transferred into the larger world to renew the political process there. Idealistic? Yes! The way toward change is through ideal aspiration. This is not a utopian destination - it is a human happening with its glories but also mistakes to be transformed into creative potential. Isn't it time for this revolution to begin? Mary Tradli is a Metro student

Come together for the future of our community At a time when there has been much discussion about Metro's Presidential leadership, this letter is intended to stimulate discussion and constructive debate on how Metro constituencies (faculty, staff, administrators and students) can come together and collaborate to forge a consensus about opportunities for the future of our community. Not all of us at Metro perceive change as negative. There continue to be opportunities to develop a strong partnership, opportunities to chart its future, and opportunities to develop a true "Metro" community based on mutual sharing, responsibility and the common good. Communities such as ours need to celebrate our successes while, at the same time, continuing to critically evaluate what could be done better. Nobody's perfect. Under

President Kaplan's leadership, faculty, staff and talented students have made progress in many important areas: technology initiatives, enrollment, minority enrollment and graduation rates being just a few. Yet, it is imperative that we all give critical thought to where we are headed, and where our level of discourse will lead us. Much has been said recently about Metro as a "teaching" institution. New educational paradigms call for institutions such as ours to recognize that we exist, not merely to provide instruction, but to produce learning. As Student Life professionals, we believe that student learning and outcome-based scholarship strategies are important to student success. All of us at Metro must pull together to accomplish these successes. The most powerful learning environments are

those that combine intellectual, social and emotional aspects of education, as well as integrate students' in-class and out-of-class experiences into a coherent, holistic effort. We need to pull together to develop seamless educational experiences with quality student learning outcomes. We feel strongly that our collective response to the dissension expressed recently within Metro's community will be looked upon as a barometer of the professionalism and insight within our institution. It would be naive to expect all constituencies at Metro to agree with our President on every decision made or every change envisioned. It would also be naive to evaluate Metro's track record based solely on this dissension. Given the history of Metro and the high turnover of presidents, we should

look towards our opportunities to stabilize the leadership and give CHANGE a chance.

'Hamlet' too hard to handle .

Edgy LIDA produCtion inte(prets broad political themes Ricardo Baca The METROPOLITAN

onestly, there could be no better time for the regional premier of Heiner Muller's hardedged, industrial, highly experimental play, HamletMachine. In this age of the spooky Marilyn Manson, more and more little white boys are running around in fishnet stockings, piling sunscreen on their faces and appendages to keep their "gothic" look Lrue, and painting on .the sp~ll binding nail polish, midnight-tinted eye liner and black hair dye to append to their personas an image that is found favorable among recent generations. If you find yourself searching for a much-needed transition, here it is. Most of the characters on the stage of this play have similar appearances and carry similar attitudes to those in a Marilyn Mans.on or Type 0 Negative music video. If that means nothing to you older generations, imagine Alice Cooper dressed to the nines in black vinyl and lace with piercings in very unlikely places. Thus begins the HamletMachine, with a giant slab of thick cellophane draped across the facade of the modest stage. It looked like $Omething you would expect to find at a metal concert where the band would crash though to make a dramatic enti-ance. The eerie gothic-sounding music, which must have been played from a previously recorded track, tickled the audience's ear throughout the first half of the play, crept up, encroaching upon the climax where an unknown figure emerges from the wondrous, evil lights behind the cellophane and rips down the simulated wall to. free himself from the containment of the harsh plastic. In HamletMachine, Muller placed the commonly known story of Hamlet and his/her myth right there near the tale end of the empire formerly known as the allencompassing age of communism. This George-Orwellmeets-William-Shakespeare story contains characters with alter egos with alter motives, strongly resembling the farm animals/communist, fascist and socialist leaders in

HARD HAMLET: Catherine Worster and Nils Ivan Swanson in The LIDA Project's HamletMachine. Orwell's novel, Animal Farm. Director Brian Freeland said that the company took the classic Shakespearean characters and assigned therri larger roles, such as Prince Hamlet as communism, Claudius as Uncle Sam, Horatio as the television and Ophelia as the masses of the East. By using these character archetypes, underlying relationships can be assigned and dissected. As Freeland cleverly points out: Hamlet (communism) tells of his love to Ophelia (Eastern masses). He vows to love her and once he wins her over (the death of communism), he con_cedes

to his own selfish doubt, and Ophelia is left with only small, insignificant gifts of the courtship process · (McDonald's and Coca-Cola). And so the story goes - and saying that is stretching it. Finding a single story line in this confusing menagerie of underlying themes, unheard whispers and subliminal audible thought processes was an incredible task in itself. The director, and possibly the actors and crew members, probably understood this intricate piece of theater without breaking a book. But from the point of view of an audience member, I was left in the dark literally! With two or three people talking at the same time consistently throughout the play, it makes for hard-totmderstand dialogue/trialogue. Often, a chanting tone was used in the characters' voices as they repeated what seemed to be, at times, pointless soliloquies filled with clearly evident emotional ties which led to the assumable abyss of·an unknown black hole in theater space. The acting could have been good, but with all of the overlying commotion, I couldn't really tell. They had excellent concentration as they matched monologues to· the music track and spoke over each other in this orgy of thoughts and slow, strobe light-generated actions. Throughout, the incomprehensible pretense of the show and its portrayed jumbled ideas, HamletMachine accomplishes what the genre of experimental, somewhat absurdist theater is supposed to accomplish - it leaves you feeling like you m1,1st have missed something when you closed your eyes or scratched your nose. It leaves the ultimate interpretation up to the audience; after all, the only one with half of a clue on the direct interpretation, if there is one, "'is the recently deceased Muller.

Touchy 'Carnal' tackled nicely M. St. Germain The

METROPOLITAN

anral Knowledge, by Jules Feiffer, is a raw, forceful and eye-opening examination of male sexuality and American

culture. Originally written as a play, Carnal Knowledge is usually recognized as the controversial film starring Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margaret and Art Garfunkle. The intensity of the subject matter is not· diminished on this small stage, although Hollywood's touch would be greatly appreciated as far as the lighting, costumes and set design are concerned. (There's a big difference between working low-budget and looking low-budget.) The story centers on Jonathan Fuerst (played by Phillip Luna), a working-class Joe who is a surprising combination of street smarts and literary intellect. Jonathan's tough exterior belies his emotional vulnerability - for the time being. Luna imbues some real, gut emotion into his character, though at times he depends a little too much on shouting his angst,

SMART 'KNOWLEDGE': Kurt Lewis- (left), Phillip A. Luna and Amy Doe from Industrial Arts Theatre's Carnal Knowledge. rather than using his acting skills. The story opens in 1946 at ivy-league Amherst College, in a typically bland dorm room: desk, bed, school pennant. Jonathan's roommate, Sandy (played by Kurt Lewis), is naive and virginal, and

turns to Jonathan with all questions sexual. Jonathan is more than happy to share the scope of his myth-laden worldly views on the opposite sex and what makes girls tick. Lewis plays Sandy as a wide-eyed "Beaver Cleaver" type that never seems to

mature even as the play evolves. Onedimensional Sandy seems always bewildered, astounded or in a state of hero-worship. It becomes annoying, and makes one wonder how these very different guys become so close, so fast. They are the other's confidante and share everything from life aspirations to what they'll do when they finally "get some." Enter.Susan (~layed by Amy Doe), a forward-thinking girl who wants to be a lawyer. Sandy becomes involved with her first, but Jonathan is quick to pursue her. Susan becomes sexual with both boys, and thus begins a confusing love triangle that Sandy is carefully shielded from. · Dominant and boiste;ous with the innocent Sandy, reserved and · attentive with tough-guy Jonathan, Susan. begins to live a double life. Sandy tells the silently suffering Jonathan every juicy detail about this wonderful girl he's in love with and wants to marry. Jonathan is also in love, but will not admit it to himself. He wants the sexually forward and outspoken Susan that Sandy gets, and Lries to bully it out of

ith a little hope and incentive, physical fitness is obtainable for those seeking a clear heart and mental stability. Auraria Campus Recreation held its annual Health Fair on Wednesday, featuring more than a dozen exhibits and programs, all expressing the importance of good health. Patty McConnell of Campus Recreation was the chief organizer for the event: "Physical fitness and physical activity are important in every balanced life," said Jack Beattie, executive director of the Colorado Governor's Council for Physical Fitness. "Fitness knowledge is as important as your -ability to- learn, because it controls stress as well as weight." The Governor's Council was only one of the awareness booths set up.

her. His jealousy grows more and mor~ violent, and Susan leaves him permanently for Sandy. Bitter and jaded, this first b~oken heart establishes the pattern for all of Jonathan's relationships. The closest Jonathan gets to being ball-and-chained is Bobbi, a spunky B-rate actress whose greatest assets in Jonathan's eyes arc her 38-D breasts. Bobbi is the most complex character in the play and is played with great sensitivity by Gina Wence!. Jonathan romances her at first but quickly loses interest. Adoring and devoted, Bobbi is manipulated and mentally abused constantly by Jonathan. Bobbi is like a kicke'd dog cowering, a woman trapped in her tainted love. She seems incapable of leaving this bad relationship and lif!dS solace in a bottle of sleepi_ng pills. Bobbi. is the most likable character in the play, and the scenes between Wencel and Luna have th~ most chemistry. .No one character can figure out how to find satisfaction. Life is moving too fast, 'the feminist movement and the sexual revolution are making relationships even more complex. Jonathan is app~oaching middle age, a bachelor to the end. Sandy's character provides a bizarre plot twist towards the end of ~he play. Now set in. the late '60s, ·sandy gets drawn into the hippie lifestyle. Having rejected his marriage to Susan, his children and his medical practice, Sandy turns into a parody of a free-lovin' druggie. He describes exploring esoteric sex with his 13year-old girlfriend, or "love teacher," as he offers her services to Jonathan. His _good-natured naivete has become a forced, blase boredom that is played with an unintentionally amusing flatness by Lewis. · The main actors do a good job of containipg the exp1osive dialogue and emotions of.the characters with an edgy tension. Secondary characters, however, tend to fall short and create distracting weak spots in the story. Carnal Knowledge is quality theater that keeps the audience riveted and definitely explores some atypical and occasionally uncomfortable territory. There is a considerable amount of . nudity and obscenity involved, so the . easily offended may want to consider something more tame.

It was not so much a lambkin, as a little lamby clone. And soon it had a fellow clone, and soon it had some more. They followed her to school one day, all cramming through the door. It made the children laugh and sing, the teachers found it droll. There were too many lamby clones, for Mary to control. No other could control the sheep, since the programs did not vary.

Art of Lennon comes to Denver T he Park Meadows mall is hosting The Art of John Lennon, the most extensive collection of John Lennon's art ever assembled. Over 100 pieces will be shown, including serigraphs, silk-screens and original works. Lennon had been painting and drawing since childhood and attended art school from 1957 to 1960. He illustrated num~ouschildren'sbook~ andmanaged to sell a few works before deciding that the art world was too elitist. It was at this point that Lennon decided to pursue music - a path that lead him to The Beatles. Lennon's art is autobiographical, and often focuses on his family of wife Yoko Ono and son Sean. Lennon's famous "Bag One" portfolio, his wedding gift to Yoko, contains the only signed works known, as well as eight erotic drawings. Two more portfolios are separated into "The Beatie Years" and "The Solo Years." These portfolios feature original lyric sheets that Yoko made into serigraphs - prints made by the silk-screen process - in limited editions of 1,000. The lyric sheets are unaltered, showing all changes as Lennon composed his famous songs. The show also explores some of the

documented performance art of John and Yoko, which they called "Bagism." The couple would crawl under a burlap bag and move in such a fashion as to make the audience very, very curious as to what was going on under there. They would give their press conferences concealed under bags. "Bagism" was considered to be a form of political protest, and led up to John and Yoko's infamous "Bed-In for Peace," when the couple spent a week in bed to condemn the Vietnam War. Lennon's art met with great government resistance in the 1970s due to his political activities, and his art shows were repeatedly raided and shut down by the police in Europe and the United States. Lennon was often charged with obscenity, though the charges were always thrown out in court. The show is curated by Richard Horowitz, who has kept it in constant circulation throughout the United States and Canada since 1990. All items are available for purchase and range in price from $200 to $12,000. The Art of John Lennon runs through April 28. For more information, call 7922999. - M. St. Germain

"We knew we'd come back and win it." The series with DU marked the end of an era for the two clubs. DU is moving to Division I next year and will not be playing baseball. The schools have competed

The only shot Metro has at getting a ranking and moving into the regional tournament on May 2-4 is if it can defeat or play extremely well against those teams, coach Haili McLeod said.

McLeod said. The team won the top three singles brackets and the No. l doubles bracket easily. All three singles player;s - Peter Lantz, Manuel Ponce and Jean-Francois Boudrea - blasted through their opponents. Each of the three won every match they played in straight sets. For Lantz and Ponce the tournament proved especially exciting. The duo crushed all three challenges it faced, adding another straight-set pasting to its record in the finale, 6-3, 6-0, over a pair from the Colorado School of Mines. "After my racket broke it was OK," Lantz said, trying his best not to take credit for anything. Lantz is not a man of many words publicly and prefers to shower the praise on his doubles partner when the conversation turns that way. "He plays pretty good," Lantz said.

The team from Mesa State Look top honors, nipping the Roadrunners by a minuscule margin - two points. Mesa had beaten Nebraska-Kearney and the University of Southern Colorado earlier in the year and was a favorite to win. The significance of those two wins is simple. Both UNK and USC are regionally ranked, and now the Roadrunners feel they should be, too. It is not just a close loss that compels the Metro team to think they should be propelled to a loftier position. It is a feeling, shared by coach and team, that the two ranked conference foes have dodged them this year. Stack those feelings on top of the chance of bad weather for this.weekend's conference championships, which would

Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN

Mike Dunlap is right ~here he wants to be. Well, he almost is. Dunlap is the new men 's basketball coach at Metro, hired three weeks ago on an interim basis. There is no other place Dunlap would rather be spending his days, but his nights are a different story. Each night, Dunlap, his wife and three children crowd into one room at a local hotel. The room is their temporary home. The Dunlaps are trying to do everything a does family when it moves to a new city. They are looking for a house, investigating the schools an~· learning their way ar~und . Mike Dunlap The differc!nce is most people have already done these things before they decide to mdve. This family didn't. The coach's father died March 8 from emphysema. That event set the moving vans in motion, Dunlap said. The family had been living in Australia for three years, where Dunlap coached a professional team, but decided it had spent enough time away from family and friends. Though things are not as settled as he

The school hired Dunlap soon after Bradley left to avoid upsetting the recruiting process, but it has only given Dunlap one xear. In that time, the search for other candidates will continue and Dunlap will be evaluated. "If I do a good job, I'll be here," Dunlap said. "They hired me with permanence in mind." Comparisons could be drawn between Dunlap and University of Colorado football coach Rick Neuheisel, especially in the personality department. Dunlap is an upbeat person, constantly on the go verbally. He has a quick wit. The only th!ng missing is the guitar. Dunlap said he doesn't play any instruments and is not about to hold any spontaneous jam sessions - off the court that is. His attention is focused totally on his new Learn. "I believe in playing to beat the best and coaching to beat the best," Dunlap said. "I think it's really important the players understand that we coach winning basketball. We don't coach basketball just one way. I think you've got to be flexible in your system. The places I've coached and the people I've been under, I've been very fortunate to have a lot of information on different ways to skin a cat." Let th~ skinning begin.

·seniors bid fond -farewell Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN

•

....

Six Metro baseball players are leaving the team. It is not because they have done anything wrong or they are unhappy. The six are seniors who are winding down there final year of eligibility. The lead could be better-CA Ramon Alvarado, Matt Burton, Roger Fisher, Craig Leisge, Mark Sheley and Jay Vean constitute a six-pack of success on the baseball diamond. Sheley is Metro's No. l pitcher this season. He leads the team in strikeouts and has the lowest ERA (5.07) among starters. None of the other five pitch. Vean and Fisher are tied for the team lead in RBI with 31 and each is batting over .300. Leisge is second on the team with six home runs and coach Vince Porreca said he is the team's most valuable defensive player. Alvarado and Burton have not played as much as the others but contribute in other ways. Both are role models for the younger players in the sense that they are graduating in May. Porreco said he will miss that leadership most _from the group. 'This is probably the first senior class that have been leaders," Porreco said. "Even though it maybe started out on not a very good note, they've put it together and are finishing strong in their senior year. "It's always hard to replace quality kids like we're losing, but that is our job. We need to go out and recruit some kids that are going to step right in and do the same." The players vary in what they say they will take from their college experience. Some are more positive than others. Fisher says the losing and missed opportunities will probably stick out most in his mind when he looks back on it in 10 years.

"Mentally it's hard to come out everyday knowing that you've been having losing seasons and you've been losing games this season," Fisher said. "Sometimes it's hard to go out and expect to win even though you know you need to do that." Fisher said he thinks this senior class has laid a foundation that could lead to a more successful team in the future. He is leaving behind a talented group of underclassmen. Odd as it may seem, Alvarado is an example of a student-athlete who may appreciate his time off the playing surface more than he does his time on it. "It's been a great opportunity to not only study, but lo actually go out and have some fun while you're studying," Alvarado said. "It is Hyoung Chang/The MEn.oPOLITAN demanding, but it's also SHADED: Metro first baseman Craig Leisge, one of fun ." six seniors on the team sits and watches the action Alvarado plans to the dugout last weekend in a game against the from go for his master's University of Denver .. degree in business al the University of Colorado al Denver beginning in the fall.
