Regents mciy control·. MSC by Frank Mullen

The Board of Regents may be able to retain control of the state-supported univer­_sity in Denver even if Senate Bill 523-the higher education bill containing a provision for a new urban university under a newly appointed governing board-becomes law.

If the Regents choose to test the consin­ut i onality of SB-523 in court and win the case, the new university resulting from the me_rger of the University of Colorado at Den· ver (UCD) and Metropolitan State College (MSC) might be placedynder their control.

The Board of Regents, a nine member bo­ard governing·the University of Colorado system, derive their power from an amend­ment to the Colorado constitution, rather than from a state statute. Article nine, section five of the constitution, amended in 1972, gives the Regents power over UCD. Section five has been called "ambiguous" by some of the R{lgents. The amendment can be interpreted to mean the unive_rsity system cannot be changed without a constitutional amendment or, as the sponsor ofSB-523 be­lieves, the section can be interpreted to mean

change in the governance of UCD can be "provided bylaw."

"The constitution says there has to be a . university in Denver," said State Sen. Hugh Fowler (R-Littleton), the author of the gov-

' ernance bill. "It doesn't say the institution. has to be governed by the Regents."

Lee Kerschner, executive director of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) said the State Attorney General's office has considered the constitutional question surrounding Auraria governance. Kerschner, at a CCHE hearing concerning SB-523, said the attorney's opinion stated SB-523 is constitutional as written. He said the opinion can still be tested in court.

Regent Byron Johnson said the board re­ceived no official word from the Attorney General's office and the governing board has taj<en "no official position" on the matter. ·He called the proposed change in governance a ''reckless intrusion on the university sys­tem."

Johnson said. he wfshes the legislators would recognise the "obvious legal

weakness"_ of amending the constitution by statute.

"I have no quarrel with the logic of an MSC-UCD merger. As many have said 'if we (the institutions) are going to sleep in the same bed (Auraria), maybe we should get married'," he said. "But I don't like to play fast and loose with the constitution.'.'. there is the definite potentiality of a (legal) contest here."

Johnson said if the two institutions merge the Regents should maintain control of the resulting university.

If the Regents go to court over the issue, the case could take years before a.final deci­sion is reached. The Regents legal council was unavailable for comment, but Regents and staff members said the governing board will probably fight any attempt to remove UCD from the university system.

"'Some of the Regents were elected to of­fice by a very large margin of votes" one bo­

. ard staffer said. "I don't think they feel. they were elected to preside over the disso1Jusion of the university system."

Merger goes to Se·nate by Frank Mullen I

A proposal to merge Auraria's two largest institutions came a little closer to being a reality April 19 as the Senate Education Committee gave its approval to Senate Bill-523.

SB-523, a major reorganization of higher education in Colorado, was sent to the Sen­ate on a 5-3 vote after several amendments.

If the bill becomes law as written, the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) and ~etropolitan State College (MSC) will be merged into the Metropolitan University of Colorado (MUC) by July 1. The new institution would be governed by a newly appointed governing board. '

Legislators amended the bill in an effort to pacify complaints by MSC representatives that the bill would destroy MSC's open admissions policy and change the "role and mission" of the urban-orie~ted undergraduate college.

As the bill now reads the new university in Denver would have a "modified" open admissions policy. and MUC's emphasis would be on teaching rather than on re­search work.

MSC officials present spoke in opposition to the merger provision of 3B-523, stating that HB-1498·-which would

place Auraria under the state's "sunset provision" --is a better solution to the. Auraria problem.

Bob O'Dell, MSC Vice-President of administration and development, told the committee the bill merges MSC into the structure of UCD without allowing for many of the college's existing programs. He said the structure of MUC, included in the bill, has no provision for a School of Pro­fessional Studies, including MSC's law en­forcement program and MSC's nursing program.

State Sen. Hugh Fowler (R-Littleton), the chairman of the committee and author of the bill, said such MSC programs can go under the School of Arts and Sciences, in­cluded in the merger provision of the bill.

The committee voted down an amend­ment to change the name of the new insti­tution to Metropolitan State University of Colorado (MSUC). The committee rewrote a section of the bill which would have created a University of Western Colorado-the result of a de-facto merger of four existing institutions. The language of the bill now requires the four institutions to be governed by separate appointed governing boards.

SB-523 , as amended, will go to the Senate for its second reading this week.

Look up, see balloons. Look down, · see children. In fact, balloons and children were everywhere in the Student Center last Friday during Family Night at Auraria. Over three hundred people came by to fill up with unlimited spaghetti and to watch films and The Storytellers theatre.

The KIMN chicken was followed by a dense crowd of children everywhere he went, while other children bewild­eredly stared at robot-like mime by Berg and Prince. Later, at the disco, the chicken led a disco-chain around the Mission.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, including MSC President Richard Netzel and his wife, who 'Came by to disco.

Aura ria ·construction:, dream vs. · reality

0 ... ~

by Lou Chapman

The Auraria campus probably will never have any elevated crosswalks or any new io­terconnectiort of buildings.

This does not mean the safety or comfort of students has gone unheeded. It simply me ans that since .1971, when the rra ster plans for- Auraria were designed, priorities have changed.

> ~ :i 0 ~

<U ... <U a..

ch

Since the first students moved onto the site in 1976, different types of safety fea­tures have been added--under various forms of public persuasion--and other changes are planned.

What the whole campus could have been is helpful toward understanding what it has be­come.

The Auraria buildings are designed on 30-feet grids; at every 30 foot interval is a support column. These columns, the ones P.rotruding from every wall on campus, are tied to each other by a sort of rockwall. According to Jack Brownson, Director of Planning an~ Development of Auraria, 1971-76, the idea was to usa some sort of paneling which he had hoped would allow for a more flexible and dynamic inner struc­ture than the rockwall provides.

"The interior plans became very conve­ntional," Brownson said. And the buildings could ha.ve been surfaced with a covering more flexible than the brick finally decided upon by authorities.

"The brick skin actually carries no load," Brownson said.

This means it has no purpose other than being a shell for the structure, as opposed to a type of wall that carries necessities such as electrical circuits and plumbing. Brov.ns on 's original concept therefore called for a pre­fabricated covering that would have allowed for relatively easy expansion and change bet­ween buildings: construction of more over­head rooms and walkways like those con­necting the second floors of the Administra­tion Building and West Classroom.

This type of structural hook-up was con­ceived to tie the Student Center with the Arts Building, the Arts Building with the lib­rary, the library, with the Gym, and even the Student Center with a once-upon-a-time proposed Rapid Transit District (RTD) base on Blake Street.

"The entire system could start to be all interconnected," Brownson said.

That was the original plan and concept. Brownsen said the whole scheme could still

grow together. It's structurally feasible. . For three main reasons, these proposals

were not in the original ct>nstruction plans, and have not been added since.

First, Brownson pointed out, at the time of funding the state had not granted to the colleges all of the spac~ it now has. The Auraria campus was then only the area bo­unded by Champa and Stout streets from Speer Boulevard to 11 th Street. So the plans were in a sense futuristic, to be used as space became available. (When space was available, and the buildings were constructed, the overhead concept was eliminated).

The second major drawback, said Brownson, was building covered, "useable space"--space to be used for pedestrian traffic and including classrooms or study areas--would have diminished the total space alloted for classrooms themselves. The cros­sovers then would have counted as building feet, which was limited.

"There ju~t wasn't an inch of space left over .. . it's a very high-density area," Brownson said.

Dan Paulien, Director of Facilities, Plan­ning and Utilities at Auraria, and who has been involved with the Auraria project from its inception, feels the cost was the prim.e prohibitive factor. Even if the plans had in­itially set aside the space for simple, open, se­c on ct-level connections between campus buildings, they would have been un­affordable .

"It would have added at least $5 million ... maybe double that," Paulien said.

So, no overhead connections were con­st~ucted and the students fust attending Aur­ana had to fend for themselves against the traffic pouring onto the campus from four of the city's main vehicular arteries: Lawrence and Larimer streets, Colfax Avenue and ·Speer Boulevard.

Since 1976, various safety ideas have been considered; some have become actualities; some are in various planning stages.

In the beginning, in late 1976, Lawrence had no traffic lights between Twelfth and Fighth streets. Paulien recalled it wasn't only very dangerous for the pedestrian, but next to impossible to cross the street at all.

The traffic lights now on Lawrence and Larimer between Twlefth and Eighth streets (from the west side of the viaducts to the east side of the gym near Speer) were installed only after student demonstrations in Feb- , ruary, 1977. The lights have been spordically installed since then. The last set was installed about a year ago, Paulien said.

Paulien said the city still refuses, however, to install a "walk-don't walk" signal at the

intersection of Lawrence and Ninth street at the foot of the viaduct at St. Cajeta~'s Church. He said city officials feel it is' a "_relatively safe intersection," if the pedest­nan crosses on the viaduct side (the side of St. Cajetan's and the parking lot) of the inter­section to cross Lawrence.

This means, if you are going from the Arts Building to a parking lot on the west side of the Student Center, you should walk to the southeast corner of Lawrence and Ninth' (near the bus stop), cross west to the south­west corner (St. Cajetan's), and then cross north to the northwest corner (the parking lot).

There are about eight seconds when all lights at the intersection are red. Of course, as Paulien said, no one bothers to go through a 11 that simply to cross the street. Paulien said students are more prone toward jay­walking and sprinting across the streets than they are toward doing what the city feels is the safe thing for them to do.

Dave Rivera, Director of Auraria Public Safety, said this tendency by students to jay­walk is the main reason for the construction of the four-feet-tall, slatted picket fences a­long Eighth Street bordering some of the outlying parking lots. Rivera said the tences are a funnel to channel the flow of pedestrian traffic toward appropriate corners along Fighth Street.

He felt the fences have helped cut down jaywalking. But it is still too early to judge their total effectiveness, he said, because the nearby street construction slows down the

driver·s anyway. If students don't use the crosswalks a

traffic l ight s , wou Id they bother wit! ~levated crosswalks? .

Paulien said probably not. A "life-cycle' study of Auraria done about a year ago b) the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD determined the best choice would be mid -block, street-level crosswalks, especially tc get from UCD's East Classroom building tc the Auraria site. Paulien said the city vetoec this idea. .

Another study done in 1973, Paulien said considered elevated, underground, and othe1 crosswalk alternatives for Auraria. All wen abandoned because of cost. Both studies as sumed students would not put elevated cros swalks to practical use.

Paulien also cites the examples of twc Denver schools with elevated crosswalk.< nearby: Morey Jr. High in Capitol Hill anc Gove Jr. High at 14th Avenue and Coloradc Boulevard . At Morey, probably the onl) time pupils use the elevated crosswalks Pau lien said, "is when their teachers march therr across the street to the recreation area."

Officials at Gove finally convinced city of· ficials to construct fences in order to corra the pupils to the overheads.

Paulien said students at Auraria would probably be just as negligent as the youngs· ters are in their use of elevated crosswalks

_ and he really couldn't blame them. Pa ulien said pedestrian safety plans for

Letters--· An Open Letter To Ms. Linda Ronstadt Dear Ms. Ronstadt:

Knowing how terribly busy you are, what with your music and rollerskating and trips across the ocean and all, I'll try to keep this short.

. I might run for politcal office here Colorado. I don't know which office--! hate to commit myself so early in the race.

What I do know, is I would like you to accompany me on a brief but exciting tour of a really savage and exotic slice of this great globe.

Imagine yourself in Commerce City, Col­orado: sunning your lithesome body under the famous Rocky Mountain skies ... and stuff like that.

I, of course, would not have a lot of free time to spend with you, because of the ab­solute necessity of talking turkey with local dignitaries and irrigation experts. Still, I'm sure we could manage a few dinners to­gether (the native food is out of this world), or enjoy a simple tete-a-tete in the g'?rgeous grasslands bordering the roaring wilds of the South Platte River.

Don't worry about. the press interfering with your holiday out here, either. I'll see to it they leave you alone.

Of course, no one would give a good goll darn anyway if a famous, unmarried rock­-and-roll star joined a bachelor politician on a jaunt to such an odd, out of the way place, so there's really no reason for you to think the press would be interested.

You 'II love the accomodations I have in mind for us: two rooms on the top floor of the Hi-U Motel on Highway 85. 1hat sec­ond-story view is really incredible.

For entertainment, you could hob-nob with the locals, enjoy their customs: dan­cing, music, hanging out, and cheating the welfare system. On the rare evenings I'll be available to escort you, we could visit fri­~~ds in Broomfield. From Commerce City, 1t s possible to get there by car.

Well, Ms. Ronstadt, please give it some thought. If you need more information give me a call. '

I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and especially excited about your ac­ceptance of this invitation. Offers like this just don't come along every day, you know.

Give my regards to Governor Brown and Emmy Lou Harris.

Take care. Sincerely,

Lou Chapman P. S. Don't feel too bad if you can't make this trip; I '11 schedule another. Besides, John Denver said he would be glad to take your ticket.

Re: Gene Arnole's continuing attacks on Metropolitan State College.

I find it hard to believe that Gene has taken up the gauntlet for Sen. Hugh Fowler and is attempting to write with the same id­iocy that Fowler speaks with. Incredible! I hope it isn't catching!

Dearest Gene, much as I love your mel­lifluous voice on radio (you can sell pastries as well as anyone), having resonant broad vowels in your speech does not necessarily go hand.in hand with an incisive, witty and articulate pen.

I thought it was a nice gesture for the Rocky to give you your own column. And we all laughed (gently, of course) at your first feeble attempts to write journalistic style. I myself cheered when you first man­aged to shorten your sentences to less than 16 lines of newstype and even chuckled a time or two at your attempts to be humor-

ous· (the times you intentionally meant to be ~umorous, that is). I thought your were trying to develop a nostalgic, faintly react­tionary style of writing which seemed to be a neat idea. But Gene, tsk, tsk, your attempts to turn yourself into a Watergate­~tyle reporter on higher education in Colorado-shame on you. And double shame when it appears you get all of your information on the issue from a man who seems to have a rather queer vendetta going against Metro State. Be grateful you have a column in a big-city daily and stop trying to prove that you are an aging Woodward or Bernstein.

Metropolitan State' College has a tremendous vitality, magnetism and creativ­ity within its students and faculty. I know Fowler is continually trying to give the im­pression that MSC is good only for: a)ke­eping marginal students off the streets, b) churning out diplomas in a diploma mill, and . c) maintaining the illusion that students that go here can't get in anywere else, etc., etc. I don't know what Fowler's hang-up is about Metro (maybe he tried to get in and couldn't) or perhaps his mind, as well as his arteries, are hardening (I am try­ing to be kind.) But you, Gene! As a journ­alistic columnist-I am giving you the bene­fit of the doubt-it behooves you to get yourself down to Metro and to Auraria and see for yourself what is going on if you con­tinue to write about us.

Come on, Gene, don't be afraid. Attend some of the classes down here (especially the evening sessions), talk to the students, talk to the faculty, communicate, commun­icate, communicate. More important, inves- · tigate what's going on before you open

· your big mouth (or big pen).

You'll find that Metro's students are dynamic and motivated. Gene, have .I got news for you! We can read and write! We're articulate!

This Saturday April 28, thousands of Coloradoans will descend on the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant to demand an end to nuclear production at the facility, • and that Rocky Flats workers. be. guaranteed jobs with equivalent skill and pay.

Rocky Flats, located 16 miles upwind from the Auraria Campus, has long been a health hazard to Denver residents. Built in secrecy in 1952, the plant has had over 200 fires-one two weeks ago-and has been the source of numerous leaks of radioactive contaminants into our environment. Even"norJllal" operations there release a steady trickle of radiation into the atmos­phere.

A study made by the Jefferson County Department of Health, released this February, showed that cancer rates for men were 24 percent higher than normal within the area 13 miles down.wind of the plant. Cancer rates for women were 10 percent higher. The study found 501 extra cases of cancer over a three year period, indicating that one case of cancer is caused by con­tamination from Rocky Flats every other day. Add to this higher incidences of birth defects, miscarriage, leukemia and genetic damage, and the true cost of Rocky Flats becomes clear. While Rocky Flats product (nuclear weapons) threatens global annih­ilation, its radioactive residues are slowly killing Denver residents.

Radioactive elements cannot be made non-poisonous. They last many thousands of years. All we can do is to act now to stop the pollution of our environment and eliminate the source of the .hazard. Aurarians Against Nukes is organizing to effect the conversion of Rocky Flats, to peaceful and productive use, and to stop­ping the same dangers inherent in nuclear power plants.

The re will be a carpool caravan from Auraria to the rally at Rocky Flats on April 28th. Both drivers and riders should call Aurarians Against Nukes at 629-3335 between 9 am and 3 pm to sign up and get details. No one can be guaranteed space if they have not called in advance.

But don't try to promote some institutions at the expense of others. It's shabby, hurtful, undignified and ui:iworthy of you.

You know who you're really hurting, Gene? Me. And thousands of people like me who are determined to get a quality ed­ucation at a highly rated institution but who also need to work in order to support themselves and their families. An irrespon­sible column like yours can plant the seeds of doubt in a taxpayer's mind about the in­tegrity and usefulness of MSC and for what!

Why does the new bartender claim to be making fifty cents an hour more than his predecessor, when his predecessor was denied a raise by the management because of limits of the current budget?

Many of the students who frequent The Mission are baffled and dismayed by the in­consistency of the management's equal op­portunity employer claim and blatant disre­gard of students application already on file.

You Gotta Do Bad, To Do Good? -Les Femmes Criminelles? Why not? There

are many male popular music artists who are called "outlaws" or "desperados" and brag of their criminal activities (i.e. drug-related trouble~, assault, robbery, etc.) to attract the public's attention. Could this be the ideology behind LFC? But why does art have to re­treat to such bold tactics? Perhaps it is be­cause art has to make you think; unlike disco· music, or television or a factory job, and, let's face it folks, thinking is work and pos­sibly hard labor for some. Also, I wonder which Ms. Kirkman thinks is closer to good graffiti, "LFC" or "F- You" on the bathro­om walls. Frankly, MSC art is good and I, as a man, do not feel threatened or intimidated by women who wish to promote the arts, es­pecially since contributions to the growth or prosperity, or simple appreciation is severely lacking to all art students who don't want brown noses .

The S'econd De by S. Peter Duray-Bito

Quick. Which cities associate with film festivals? Cannes, New York, Los Angeles. Paris. Now add Denver to that.

Having been the first U.S. festival to make a profit in its first year, The Denver International Film Fest ival is being reckoned with throughout the country and the world. Now in its second year , the festival has expanded from I 0 days to two weeks and from 90 to over 150 programs.

"We expect to double last year's attendance of 17,000," says co-director Ron Henderson . "With festivals proliferating all over the country, we're drawing national attention because of our varied and balanced program."

Between the world premieres, there is indeed an extraordinarily broad selection. Documentaries , animation, avant-garde, children's , senior citizen's and midnight movies are just some of the specialized categories of the festival. Special tributes will be held in honor of film greats Lillian Gish, Henry Fonda, John Schlesinger and Raphael and Joan Micklin Silver. Documentarist Frederick Wiseman and special effects genius Albert Whitlock will also be here to introduce new works.

"We brought in Woody Allen's new movie Manhattan to attract people to the festival," says Henderson. "It was slated to open commercially May 2, so we called Woody Allen and he approved the idea of opening it here. He won't be here, though; he never shows up for these things. The N.Y. Film Critics have seen it and say it's his best yet. I also hear Time magazine plans to do a cover story on Woody AJlen."

Fallowing Manhattan, starting at 7 :30, May 3 at the Paramount, will be a gala benefit party. The next day film-goers can buckle down and get into the meat of the festival.

In all , forty-seven films are listed as Premieres. Some of these are world premieres ; others, mostly international films, are national or regional premieres. Terry· Thoren, the other co-director of the festival , spent a year corresponding all over the world to assemble these films. All the traditional Western countries are represented, as are a wide range of third world efforts such as Iran, Mexico, Senegal and India, to name a few.

"We went for what one would call esoteric films not only for that, but because they were enjoyable, too," says Thoren. "If we had a choice between two good movies from, say, Czechoslovakia , we would choose the one that would be more entertaining to more people."

The closing night premieres are about as different as two films can be. An Almost Perfect Affair, by Michael Ritchie, uses the Cannes Film Festival as a glittering backdrop to a "torrid liason" between Keith Carradine and Italy's Monica Vitti. Ritchie, director of Smiles, .Downhill Racer and The Candidate, shot the film at Cannes with cameo appearances from famous stars and directors.

The other film, The Mafu Cage, stars Carol Kane and Lee Grant as two daughters of a deceased African primatologist. Grant · is a solar astronomer who looks on as Kane spends her time with an orangutan. The film, by Karen Arthur, is a definite alternative to the Ritchie film.

The tributes are in honor of those who have made significant. contributions to the world of film. This year, the tributes will range from the very beginnings of cinema, with Llllian Gish, to the frontiers of special effects wizardry by Albert Whitlock.

. Where have all· the good tiineS ·gone? by Emerson Schwartzkopf I

The question, in rock'n' roll music to­day, is still valid 13 years later: where have all the good times gone?

In the late l 960's rock 'n' roll music underwent a major change - from simple music and lyrics to more complicated pieces designed with "a message." Rock musicians went from the guys practicing next door in the basement to demi-gods, with worshippers gladly shelling out extravagant tithes for albums and concerts.

The raw power of rock'n' roll music · almost seemed dead in the 1970's with Exile on Main Street, the Rolling Stones 1972 farewell to their rhythym and blues roots , seemingly the epitaph to good ol' rock 'n' roll.

In the latter Seventies, how~ver a new musical movement--New Wave with such artists as the Ramones and El;is Costello­·-brought back life and vitality to rock 'n' ro~l with .simple, driving music and angry lyncs lashmg out at one of the most boring decades in history.

A parallel rock'n' roll movement­·-watering down new wave to make· it pal­atable to the general public--surfaced a few years with such groups as Boston Fo­reigner, and present U.S. leader Van ·Halen. -

The new American rock 'n' roll--bor­rowing heavily from the "heavy metal" sound. of the early Seventies musically and catenng to secondary school intelligence

lyrically--could be best tabbed the "bar band" sound; the stuff heard at such local establishments as The God-father and My Sweet Lass.

Some bands in this movement--to gain the attention of the public and record com­panies looking for marketable products· -utilize gimmickery to attract fans and con­tracts. One such band is Cheap Trick, where two members have the cute superstar "Frampton" look--and the other two look like rejects from a Bowery Boys movie.

In the past year, Cheap Trick gained an amazing folJowing of devoted fans by being the opening (or "warm-up") act for anumber of better-known bands at concerts around the world. Cheap Trick is finally· evolving into an attraction in its own right­·-and Cheap Trick At Budokan, now one of the ten best-selling albums in the U.S. to­day, is e.vidence of the band's growing strength.

At Budokan is a recording culled from performances in Japan exactly one year ago

this week. The album was originally released overseas earlier this year with im­port copies costing anywhere from $10-16 in U.S. record stores; the American version appeared two months ago at a more reason­able list price ($7 .98).

A warning: Cheap Trick's music is not for everybody. Some listeners, stuck with the notion of culture stratification in rock'­n' roll music, find Cheap Trick strictly ori-

entated to a teenage (or younger) audience. This could be evidenced by a typical lyric: 171 shine up my old brown shoes 171 put on a brand new shirt I'll come home early from work If you say that you love me-*

Admittedly, Cheap Trick--and the music on At Budokan is geared for something less than a college intelligertce. However, the al­bum steps up above the large mediocrity of current music because ... well, because Cheap Trick is fun.

At Budokan is a signal of the return of the lively optimism in rock 'n' roll missing since the rnid~sixties-the sound epitomized by the Merseybeat groups like the Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers. The music

~ is upbeat, melodically catchy, and dance­able. Lyrically, the songs speak of innocent teenage romanticism of good times and one-and-only love.

At Budokan fails to fall inti? the usual power pop schmaltz of a Lei~arrett (or any of the Osmond clan), though, due to lead guitarist--and Cheap Trick leader--Rick Nielsen. In addition to some sharp, semi­-dissonant guitar lines, Nielsen occasionally introduces lyrics bizarre enough to keep the songs of At Budokan above banality

For instance, in "Lookout:' • You search for the riddle to the Que the river she came Look out on the land to the south To the east three said ah Cancel C.Olorado in the march By request--**

UNDER THE VIADUCT

Whether the "bar band" sound--and Cheap Trick--will last any length of time re­mains to be seen. For now, At Budokan ep­itomizes the view of rock 'n' roll music as a celebration of the simple pleasures of a life­st y I e nearly vanished from the contemp­orary scene. The exciting, nervous, first thrills of the discovery of sex on "Blue­berry Hill," or the awkward, beginning thrusts of anger of "Rock Around The Clock ," are paralleled by Cheap Trick's "Come On, Come On" and "Clock Strikes Ten."

Cheap Trick At Budokan catches some of the original spirit and raw power--the ~ true roots--of rock 'n' roll music. The al­bum's teenage motifs and simple music are ove rsha do wed by its spark and fire in a decade of banal popular music.

Besides, hasn't anyone gotten tired of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" yet?

Ode directs "the murderer within" by Frank Mullen

_,,.David Ode stalks the stage of the Metropolitan State College (MSC) Theatre like a slim six foot cat. He steps deftly up to another level of the multi-platformed set, turns, and becomes Quentin-the lead character of Arthur Miller's "After the Fall."

., Ode's eyes take on the cold gleam of homicide. He extends his hands to grasp the throat of an imaginary woman. The ten­dons in his hands are taut as guitar strings.

"You won't kill me! You won't kill me!" he raves at the invisible victim.

Suddenly, the actor-director's face is transformed. The manical stare vanishes. -His voice raises a few octaves as he becomes Quentin's mother-who calls Quentin from offstage. Within seconds the mother character is abandoned and Ode takes the parts of the two leid characters as he changes his voice and expressions to fit the script.

• Watching Ode in action, one half-wonders if MSC's guest director even needs actors at all. But such a proposition would seem a blasphemy to the young director, as he gives a reporter a one-man preview of a scene from Miller's drama-to E be presented in full by the MSC Players .~ beginning May 2.

"I become almost maniac when I'm S: working," Ode says. "When I read plays I ~ 'see' them in my mind .. If that doesn't hap.. ~ pen it (directing the play) is like pulling teeth. The play becomes a technical prob­lem and the result can't be more than a

~piece of fluff.". ~ Clearly, Ode has no problem in 'seeing' "After the Fall" come alive in his head. Through several weeks of hard work, the director and cast have been striving to pro­duce, as honestly as possible, Miller's com­plex piece of literature.

Miller wrote "After the Fall" after his breakup with Marilyn Monroe. The drama, Ode says, "is a very full exploration of the kind of pain we can imagine went on during their six-year relationship."

''Fall" is the story of Quentin, (played by David Jones) who must face his own guilt in order to survive. Ode says Quentin

- "is trying to answer the same questions all of us must ask" and in the end the character comes to grips with his own guilt and violence. Quentin is able to "walk off the stage into the rest of his life."

David Ode: "I ask my actors to bring the play to me. "

unusually complex set ana suppiymg mtn­cate lighting techniques.

The set, the director says, is one of the few "Odeisms" he has brought to Miller's · play.

The free form set is now a series of multi-level platforms, which Ode plans to cover with-spray foam convoluted to resem­ble a giant model of the human brain.

''The play takes place within the mind of the main character," he says. "The man's mind is off balance so the set should be un­balanced."

The set gets away from the linear aspects of most stages. The soft lines, accented by changing lighting patterns, will serve as an undulating grey background for a character attempting to deal with the betrayal and mistrust he has experienced in his personal relationships.

"Over there will stand the guaru lv .. ~. _

a c oncentration camp," Ode says, as he gestures toward stage left. The tower, he says, is a haunting symbol of the violence within Quentin and within us all.

''I figured as long as we have the time and personnel we can make the set com­plex," he says. "It gives us more of a chance to explore the truth of the idea be· hind the play."

The director's goal is to get "as close to Quentin's soul as possible." Quentin's moti­vations are complex, his guilt is deep, but in the end he is able to face his own violence and come away with his own truths.

"Quentin recognizes the murderer within himself," Ode says. "He succeeds, as we all try to succeed, in keeping the murderer contained." .

0 de, whose acting-directing experience , includes professional productions in New England, Minnesota, New Mexico and Denver, says Jones was ''born to play Quentin." ····-··············-····-····· I - . I

"He (Jones) is at a stage in his life when he can readily identify with the character," he says. "When I see how well things are coming together on the production I know

x I made the right choice (of the play)." · The play boasts one of the largest casts

(24) and the longest run (19 performances) of any MSC production to date. Ode says he is approaching the play as he would any professional production and has established "a professional discipline" among the cast and staff. He still finds himself in a teaching role much of the time and this, Ode says, is "as it should be."

"I ask my actors to bring the play to me," he says. "Then I tell them what I see."

Veteran MSC Players Victoria Stasica, Barb Meyers, Jean Jones, W .D. Roem, and

Aura ri a construction continued from page 3

vehicular traffic flo.w through campus and the improvement of outdoor lighting.

for example, funds have been requested this year to extend Ninth Street (adjacent to the west side of th~ Tivoli building) from Walnut to Wazee streets. This would divert traffic coming into downtown Denver on the 1Lawrence viaduct. ·

In exchange for opening Ninth, Paulien said, the city will close 12th Street from Lawrence to Wazee. This will broaden the area in which students might feel "safe.·•

Safety Director Rivera likes the concept, especially ifthe area is landscaped. "lt will help .with the campus

atmosphere," Rivera said. "Increased lighting in heavy pedestrian

areas" Paulien said, also' has been requested this year.

He said the lighting is particularly poor in the area of the Tenth Street Mall and at cross streets around campus.

Denver Traffic Engineering will begin later this year the first phase of a two·part con­struction program that will revarrp Speer Boulevard and then change the Lawrence, Arapahoe, and Curtis street bridges over Cherry Creek. Paulien said this construction is, in part, an outcome of the Auraria "life cycle" study.

Ed Ellerbrock, coordinating engineer with the traffic department, said the project is scheduled to be completed by early 1981 at a proposed cost of $2.l million and will in­clude:

*Building a new 2-lane bridge that will lead into Thirteenth Street at the UCD building, have one 15-feet-wide sidewalk, and be south of and replace the existing Lawrence Street bridge.

*Moving Speer Boulevard northbound to the west side of Cherry Creek between Lawrence and Wazee and rebuilding the

''An actual community" wilJ be created by closing the Curtis bridge, Ellerbrock said.

Plans call for benches to be put in, plan­ters, and foliage. It will be a pedestrian access route from Auraria to the Perform ng Arts Center and downtown Denver, Ellerbrock said.

The Arapahoe bridge, with its new wide sidewalk, will be the Auraria student's con­nection from the Curtis Mall area on campus to the UCD building.

Ellerprock said the idea of the new Lawrence bridge and the narrowing of Thirteenth Street make the pedestiran's trip between the UCD building and the Auraria Science Building safe and easy.

"For a grade (not elevated) crossing, it's pretty decent crossing," Ellerbrock said.

The new Lawrence crosswalks will not be as susceptible to turning cars as they are now. And the narrow span of Thirteenth Street will erase the hazardous triangle of inter· section now at Thirteenth and Ll!YKence streets, Ellerbrock said.

Paulien had said 'the worst part of the current crossing areas along Speer is that at Thirteenth and Lawrence at UCD.

According to Safety Director Rivera, no one has been killed in a pedestrian-automobile accident on the Auraria site, although there have been "several fractures and things."

Ninth ~ Street spaced. out by Frank M_ ullen I L__ __ .:.....___:..__ ___ __J

At Auraria, "space" is the final frontier. The University of Colorado at Denver

(UCD) recently granted some of its faculty-designated office space to the Denver International Film Festival. Auraria officials, who are the "landlords" of the campus, said UCD's action may be an "inappropriate" use of campus space.

"If UCD doesn't need the space (two small offices on Ninth Street) for faculty use, then maybe they don't need the space at all," said Don Paulien, Auraria director of facilities, planning and utilization.

Paulien said many groups are refused space at Auraria, and he questions whether

the Film Festival deserves on-campus offices.

UCD is a co·sponsor of the festival and a .... UCD faculty member is on the festivals' board of directors.

Dean Fallon, dean of UCO Arts and Sciences, said the festival is closely connected to UCD's film program. He said the festival is a "research function" of UCO. The space granted to the festival, he · said, is comparable to laboratory space.

"This (connection with the festival) is something an urban university ought to be doing," Fallon said. "It is entirely appropriate."

He said if UCD severed its connection with the festival the institution would be • "turning its back on downtown Denver."

Metro drops opener, then blasts Buffs

Metro managed only one run in the op­ener while the Buffs, who won only six of 29 games this year, put the game out of reach by scoring four in the top of the sixth. The rally was highlighted by fust baseman Scott August's two·run homer over the left-centerfield fence.

In the second game, former Broomfield star pitcher Joe Green got the win, striking out seven.

Metro drew fust blood in the bottom of the first when Tony Schoenberger singled. Gary Romero was awarded fust base on a catcher's interference, and Jim Fahey drove home the run. The Buffs scored two in the top of the third on a single, a double, and a two-run scoring single by Fitzmorris. The Roadrunners knotted the game in their half of the inning when Romero doubled and was singled home by Dave Tancik.

CU went ahead again in the top of_ the fourth when, with men on second and third, Mike Haffner flew out to deep center and the resulting tag-up at third led to the score. Metro tied again in the bottom of the fifth when Romero got on and scored on Dave Tancik's double.

Metro went ahead for good in the sixth when pinch-runner Harold Moores was walked. Schoenberger then drove in two runs with a single and the Buff pitcher then walked in another run before managing to quell the outburst. In the top of the sev·

enth CU scored thrice before Green put out • the fue and was credited with his first win of the season.

In action over the weekend at the Denver Area Metropolitan Baseball Tournament, MSC advanced to the semifinals by thrash­ing Chadron State 13-3 and edging the School 'o Mines 4-3.

In the opener, Mark Weber and Curt Culver parked homers for Metro while Tony Schoenberger picked up the win. Jack Gandy got the win in the Mines 'game.

The Roadrunners lost to Regis College 12·7 in the semis. Eric Larsen homered for Metro in that game. University of Southern T
