Ne\V MSC Student Governinent Elected by Kevin. Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan

Over 300 MSC students turned out last week to elect Chris Dahle and Steve Buhai president and vice president of stu­dent government- but the election results are unofficial pending any con­testations which race losers may lodge.

In addition, the 25-member MSC stu­dent senate and the student represen­tatives to the Board of Trustees of State Colleges, which governs MSC, were chosen.

Dahle finished the election with 201 . votes, handily defeating challenger Laura Ridgell-Boltz who won 81 votes. Buhai garnered 237 votes in his unoppos· ed quest for the vice presidential seat.

Similarly, Chris Lynn Avery was unopposed in her bid for the student trustee seat and received 222 votes.

Dahle, who formed the Whig party

which many of the contestants ran on, said he )IVas surprised by his wide margin of victory in his race with Ridgell-Boltz.

"I had no way of really knowing," Dahle said, "because I was so involved with the election. I was worried about it: right up until ·they announced the results."

Election Commissioner Douglas Mewis said the turnout was encouraging, since in the past an average of only 225 students participated in the annual stu­dent government elections.

However, he also said he expected there would be some changes in the senate makeup before everything becomes official.

Over the past year, student govern­ment has' been mired in a series of power strµggles which culminated in impeach­ment attempt against current President Lisa Espiritu ·and former Vice President Dave Sutherland.

"I think the .fact that most of us were running on the same ticket will go a long way in bringing harmony back to stu­dent government," Dahle said. "I just hope we can make a difference, because it's been b.s. around here. I mean, things have been pretty fouled up for the last year."

But Dahle said getting more students involved in the gov~rning process was even more important to him than eliminating the continual squabbles bet­ween the executive and senate branches of government.

Dahle said he is planning a variety of activities to reach hi.S goal, including inviting students randomly to be the guests of student government at breakfasts with MSC President Paul Magelli.

H.B. 1187 Amended

JBC's Power Restricted by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan

When the Colorado legislature amend­ed House Bill 1187 to include admissions standards for MSC last week, it also add­ed a clause preventing the Joint Budget Committee from having further influence on college entrance re­quirements.

The. JBC had drafted a memorandum calling for radical changes in the entrance requirements at all Colorado colleges and universities in an effort to raise academic standards and threatened to punish schools that didn't comply with the new guidelines with budgetary cut­backs.

The document, called the Memoran­dum of Understanding, raised the ire of the academic community-so much so that there were four amended versions written before the Trustees of the Consor­tium of State Colleges, which governs MSC, signed the memo.

According to Senator Regis Groff, D-Denver, H.B. 1187 now requires 80 percent of incoming freshmen to have a high school diploma or its equivalent. Presently, all freshmen are required to have the diploma before they can be admitted to the college.

The bill also includes. a provision for non-traditional students, which would make up the other 20 percent of MSC's incoming freshmen.

Students are considered non­traditional if they are at least 20-years­old and have been out of high school for three years or more. The non-traditional students would be admitted to Metro without having a diploma.

Groff took issue with the power the six­member JBC has to make changes in higher education regulations.

"At least our 100 legislators ought to have to do it up front, on the table, where the public and the colleges can have something to say," he said last Friday.

And Senator Al Mikeljohn, R-Arvada, agreed with Groffs ~ment that the Joint Budget Committee had too much power in academic areas. "We have got to realize that that's where the purse strin~ are," Mikeljohn said. "I don't think they (the JBC) have any business at all doing that-none at all. None in capital letters and underlined. I can tell you this, I'm sure resentful of it.''

.Addictive Behavior not by Robert Davis News Edit-Or, The Metropolitan

Cocaine users, police and lovers may '"' be motivated by the same physiological

reaction, according to two MSC pro­fes.50rs who have published a book and several articles on the subject of addic­tions.

Harvey Milkman, professor of ....,. psychology at MSC, and Stan Sunder­

wirth, MSC vice president of academic affairs, shared their theories at the Fifth Annual Auraria Library Contemporary Issues Lecture last Friday.

"The term addiction was once reserved for dependence on drugs," Milkman said.

• . "Today it's applied to a range of com­pulsive behaviors as disparate as working too hard and eating too much chocolate." ..

Milkman said more than a substance causing an addiction, it's the experience associated with the habit that attracts people.

"The British define an addiction as one

- feeling normal while under the influence," Milkman said.

But the two MSC instructors have a more American view of the term.

"Addiction is self-induced changes in neurotransmission that results in problem behavior," Milkman said.

Stated more simply, addiction is caus­ed by a reaction in the bOdy that creates a memorable effect-usually favorable-and a desire in the individual to repeat the act.

For instance, cocaine use blocks part of the nerve receptors that are used to absorb norepinephrine (adrenaline), leaving the stimulant unabsorbed and creating a euphoric effect, the profes.50rs said.

Sunderwirth said many reactions in the body occur because of the same type

· of block in the nerve synapse. The rush of adrenaline felt when one is scared causes the same mood change.

"If I were to bring a Bengal tiger and throw it out in the middle of the room there wouldn't be a depressed person in

Sociology Department Divided by . by Michael Ocrant Asmtant Editor, The Metropolitan

In one of his last official acts before his illness and eventual death in April of 1984, former MSC President Richard Fontera decided to remove Dr. Robert­Louis. Gasser as chairman of the Sociology Department.

The decision brought to the forefront apparent long-held personal differnces within the department and showed that, within the ranks of people whose business it is to study and understand social behavior, individuals may be no better at sorting out their differences than an even­ly split legislature may be deciding a budget.

Gasser had held the chair position for more than 10 years and was, in December 1983 when Fontera announc­ed the decision, in the middle of his fourth three-year term.

Fontera, Gasser said, "arbitrarily made a dec~~~m and said '!his is what I want done.

In September 1984, Gasser followed Fontera's mandate and stepped down as chair and assumed the position of direc­tor for the' Committee for International Education.

The reason for the sudden announce­ment, officially at least, was that Gasser had received a regular contract due to an administrative snafu. Since he was over 65, Gasser should have only been eligible for a temporary contract, under which he could not serve as department chair.

Through documents that record the events which led to Gasser's dismissal, including intermemos and official department meeting minutes, it is now known that the issue of age and eligibility was raised by professor Lois Dilatush, who was joined by professors Bernard Segall . and Martha Lee Shwayder­Hughes.

According to the official transcript of a March 1, 1984, Sociology-Anthropology department meeting, in which, not for the first time, the issue of Gasser's role in the department was discussed heatedly, Dilatush "started a greivance procedure based on her desire to have a voice in the planning of the department."

Dilatush, the transcript records, "said that her greivance was in two parts; the first part had to do with the appointment being on a temporary basis and the ~nd was the most important part. She said that, as a member of the depart­ment, she had certain rights that were being abrogated. She said that she was not involved with whatever agreements had been reached at the upper levels. She wants the department to be run in a way that would allow her to have a say." (sic.)

With Gasser as department chair, even with little more than a year left to serve out his term, Dilatush apparently felt so left out of decision malciilg within the department that she took the issue directly to Fontera and made a point of the MSC Handbook rules on age, eligibility, contracts and positions.

Up until July 1, 1982, colleges and universities were exempt from following a federal law mandating that employees could not be forced to retire before the age of 70.

MSC policy states that "faculty must retire hot later than the end of the fiscal

year in which age six_ty-five (65) is attained," and that the school president could choose to extend employment beyond retirement age "on either a full or part-time basis for additional fiscal-year or academic-year periods," under tem­porary contract.

Gasser turned Age 65 on October 20, 1981.

Administrators were well aware, in 1980, that Gasser was approaching the age at which college policy might forbid him from teaching under a regular con­tract, thus making him ineligible to serve as chairman of his department.

An intermemo sent December 5, 1980, from Dr. Phillip Boxer, dean of the School of Liberal Af!s, to Dr. Stanley

implement Fontera's decision while there was a search ongoing for a new president.

Shortly after assuming office, Golding, whose term ended in January, received "notices of greivance" and a "Notice of Complaint," from Dilatush, Segall and Shwayder-Hughes, in which they charg­ed that Laughlin had violated Handbook rules by failing to implement Fontera's decision.

The three also wanted Gasser's role in the department clarified.

In response, Golding issued a written statement in which he found that "the grievance seeking clarification of Dr. Robert-Louis Gasser's faculty status explicitly or impliedly alleges violations or improper applications of sevetal Con­sortium Handbook policies regarding contract type, employment and profes-

"By what commission or om mission have I merited the disgrace · and humiliation of becoming the first chairman at Metropolitan State Col­lege to be removed during an ongoing term of office.?"

-From a letter written by Dr. Gasser to MSC President Grage Golding.

Sunderwirth, vice president of Academic Affairs, suggested that Gasser be given a regular contract despite the age requirement.

Boxer's meino recommended Gasser highly, on both a personal and profes­sional level, and stressed that "the issue (age) involves only one day, since on July 1, 1982 the federal law would make Dr. Gasser's regular contract a routine mat­ter" by forbidding the college from forc­ing him to retire until age 70.

MSCs fiscal year begins June 30. Sunderwirth and other administrators

agreed with Boxer, and Gasser was issued a regular contract in 1982 and 1983.

And, on May 20, 1982, acting interim President Curtis E. Wright sent a letter to Gasser (with copies to Sunderwirth and Boxer), congratulating him on being reappointed chair of the Sociology­Anthropology Department.

"Your term of office is effective Fall Semester, 1982 and will expire Summer Semester, 1985," Wright's letter stated.

In September 1982, Wright was teplaced by President Fontera and, toward the end of 1983, Dilatush filed her complaint. ·

Gasser was summoned to Fontera's . office after the complaint was recieved, and there, in the presence of Boxer and · Sunderwirth, he "mandated," in Gasser's words, that Gasser give up his post as chair in September 1984.

As compensation, Gasser received release time from cl~, to work on the international education committee post.

In February of this year, Sunderwirth said that Gasser had agreed to Fontera's terms after "discussions all last year," but Gasser disputed that contention.

In several letters addressed to MSC President's Laughlin and Golding, who served brief terms after Fontera's unex­pected death, Gasser articulated the frustration and anger he had earlier expressed during several department meeting5.

Laughlin, who served until June 1 of 1984 when Golding took over, refused to

sional status and retirement. However, it fails to allege facts demonstrating that the grievants have been 'affected' by the purported infractions of these policies . . . The Handbook policies cited by grievants do not endow faculty members within a protected personal interest in the employment status of their department chair. Rather, they were pro­mulgated to define and protect an employee's interest in his/her own employment statttS and retirement options."

The three page qecision goes on to say that Laughlin had every right and power as acting president to delay im­plementation of Fontera's decision.

"The policy," Golding wrote, "pro­vides that the President possesses final authority in administrative mat­ters . . . However, nothing in Section V or elswhere in the Consortium Handbook provides that a President is irrevocably bound by his decisions and may not reconsider and decline to implement them. The policy provides only that

·subordinate officers and employees of the institution are bound by the President's decisions."

However, Golding's statement con­cludes that "after having discussed the -matter with the dean and vice president for Academic Affairs, I have concluded that it is in the best interests of the Sociology-Anthropology Department to implement President Fontera's .decision of December 19, 1983. With Dr. Gasser's acquiescence, President Fontera decided that Dr. Gasser would continue as chair of the -department until the commence­ment of the 1984-85 academic year. I concur in that decision and adopt it as my own."

One of Gasser's colleagues was as upset with the course of events as Gasser himself.

Sociology professor Theresita Polzin made numerous written requests to Fontera, who by then was gravely ill with cancer, and to Boxer asking that a conclusive and detailed explanation be

made concerning Gasser's ouster. No answers were forthcoming. In particular, Polzin was angered by a

decision being reached without the full faculty, who had unanimously elected Gasser as Chair, being consulted first. ·~

She also wanted to know why "were the complaints not resolved on the lower levels of authority, as prescribed by col­lege policy?" and also how age could be a deciding factor, as she wrote to Boxer, "without indicting yourself, Dr. Sunderwirth, Dr. Fontera, and Dr. ~ Curtis Wright-all of whom were in­volved in Dr. Gasser's three-year ap­pointment as well as in his regular con­tracts for two years and summers after he had reached age 65."

In yet another letter to Boxer, Polzin • wrote that "after repeated requests, no peason is being given for the removal of our department chairman, logical reason-ing arrives at two po~ible co_nclusions:

1. There is no reason. The removal was arbitrary and without cause (a procedure c:ommon in autocratic systems).

2 . The reason is so base, disgraceful, inhuman, and shameful that .those who know it are too embarrassed to utter it in words."

Indeed, none of the prir:icipal or minor characters contacted in the last week were willing to speak extensively on the issue.

According to Boxer and Sunderwirth, the decision was reached b¥ the President and that was the end of the issue.

"I don't want to compound any rumors by any statements," Boxer said in refusing to answer. questions about the incidents. 'Tm trying to work toward the future. Any 'answer would be construed in the wrong way." . Asked what he felt about college policy apparently being circumvented with complaints made directly to the president of the institution, Boxer replied that "I wasn't going to make a value judgement."

'Tm a steward for all my (faculty) members," Boxer said. And, he con­tinued, "I'm working with good people and good people can have differences and I hope they can be resolved.

"You think-that because we (Boxer and Sunderwirth) have interests of faculty harmony we have some other motives," he said.

Pursuing the story, Boxer said, was "compounding the situation" and "going beyond reality." . .

Sunderwirth was as adamant in keep­ing silent on the issue.

"I've already told you (in Februrary) everything I'm going to say about the case," Sunderwirth said.

"The decision was reached by Presi­dent Fontera and was based on his reading of the Handbook that pointed to the fact that Dr. Gasser was in fact given · the appointment irregularly. There was. no discussion of competence or incompetence."

Pressed further Sunderwirth said "I don't want to hurt Dr. Gasser anymore, do you? I don't see that it would be to anyone's advantage. Do y_ou want Dr.

(

Internal Qo;mplaint------Outcome Gasser blasted all over the paper?"

Asked about the decision creating a possible precedent which might affect other individuals, Sunderwirth replied: "Well, we haven't had any more bloopers like the one with Dr. Gasser and we don't plan on having any more." .

Other professors in the Sociology I An­thropology Department also had little to say.

Dilatush, who started the proceeding.5 against Gasser, said that Boxer should be the one to comment because he is acting head of the department.

"Actually, I think there would be no point in making any comments on that; I think that's something that happened in the past and if that's what you're in the proces.s of digging up that's fine," Dilatush said.

And, she continued, "there are too many thin~ we're doing now that are moving the department forward to spend time on that; so thank you for your call,'' she ended, hanging up the telephone.

Segall, who put his name to the com~ plaint with Dilatush and Shwayder­Hughes, also said Boxer would be the one to contact for comments.

Segall said he made the complaint for "personal reasons" and that "everything has been settled as far as we're concerned."

Shwayder-Hughes could not be reached

Two other professors, Jiri Vondracek· and Bernard Rosen, said they felt Gasser should have been allowed to finish out the remainder of his term as chair.

But both Rosen and Vondracek said they were powerles.5 to do anything

because it was an administrative decision.

"Where could we go if the whole administration agreed with it,"

Vondracek said the faculty was par­ticularly upset that the issue wasn't discussed among the entire department. "That's what the whole thing is about," he said.

When the decision was first announced · to the faculty on Feb. 9, 1984, during a

department meeting, Vondracek said, there were "feelin~ of surprise, because it came from the blue sky; actually it left us speechles.5."

Without the details of the decision making process, Vondrace1c said, one tries "always to figure out why. It becomes a moral issue and there is the ethical issue of fairness. If you don't know everything you feel these standards are violated. It's a logical consequence if you don't know

the whole story." &ked what he felt about the opinions

of many in the department and administration that the department should forget the recent past and move on to the future, Vondracek replied:

"Let's move ahead. Yes. Everybcxly wants to move ahead." However, he con­tinued: "Not knowing doesn't defer you from what you have to do, but leaves in the back of the mind a scar." D

Those students and candidates who desire to protest the election results must file a written protest to the election and seal it in an envelope and submit it to the Elec­tion Commission no later than 3 p.m. on Friday, April 26. Any protest received after that date and time will not be considered. Those write-in candidates who can not be properly certified before April 26 will be announced in the next student government report as their intent to run form is reviewed and verified. Those can­didates whose name appears as runners up should submit an intent to run form if they intend to accept the nomination if a vacancy occurs through disqualification or resignation of any winning candidate.

This was a record year for the election. Previous years have averaged around 225 voter turnout. This is .a positive sign that the students are taking more pride in their school and their student representatives. Next year, my target is over 1000. I would like to see each student participate in the election.

I would like to thank each of the clubs who participated in running the election. Without them, it would be very challenging if not impossible for the election com­mission to do it all.

·Holocaust Re.membered. Monday, April 15, I went to the Holocaust Commemoration in the St. Francis

Interfaith Center. It was quite an emotional experience. Unfortunately it was disappointing to see ·so few people in attendance. Did th~ weather make them forget to come or was it total ignorance to what all the posted notices on campus exclaimed by way of Holocaust Commemoration?

As everyone must know-six million humans were brutally murdered by the Nazis during W.W.II just because they were Jewish. This mass destruction was the ultimate form of discrimination. A few people, however, have the indecency to deny that the Holocaust ever happened. Have they never seen pictures? The survivors are dying off now. Who will believe the Holocaust ever happened when the eyewitnesses are gone if people today refuse to believe the facts .

The Key speaker at the Commemoration was Elizabeth Jaranyi (80746 as is tatooed on her left forearm). She was the only one of seven sisters to survive. Five of her sisters were never seen again because they chose to remain with· their children when the Nazis took them away. (Children, the handicapped and the old were all thought of as worthl~-they were disposed of as quickly as possible.) The other sister stayed with Elizabeth and survived the notorious deathcamp of Auschwitz. She unfortunately did not survive the march back to Germany when Auschwitz was evacuated. She was shot by a soldier when she could walk no longer. She told Elizabeth to continue on and tell 'the story.' Elizabeth marched on feeling guilty then and feeling guilty for the next 40 years for being the only one to survive from her beloved family.

And so Elizabeth, along with the few number of other Holocaust survivors~ is telling her story. They all must keep reminding us of what happened in W.W.II Europe to their people ... to the human race. As long as these people are alive, we who are younger must listen, believe and remember what they have to say because a Holocaust must never happen again. Elizabeth, heed your sister's words, con­tinue telling your story and never feel guilty again.

enrollment policy at Metropolitan State College makes money, just common sense, and since the Joint Budget Committee has obviously lost their common sense, time to replace them with people, humans, that do have common sense. Restore the Joint Budget Committee to sanity, and inform them that they are not God. That public office is already filled and reserved by someone with better qualifications than they have demonstrated.

April 24, 1985 I

Reader Lambastes Editor's Response to Vet Editor:

I hesitate to address this letter to the "Editor." It honors Mr. Vaughan with a title and respect I do not feel he deserves. '

I read witn growing disbelief and anger Mr. Vaughan's reply to John Ulbinslcy's letter. Vaughan writes, "Mr. Ulbinsky, what the hell gives you the right to take issue with the appropriateness of these two stories?" I, in turn, ask, "Mr. Vaughan, what the hell gives you the right to make a personal attack on a reader who has an opposing point of view?" .

There are two issues here; first, the actual appropriateness of Mike Strother's article, and then Vaughan's reply to Mr. Ulbinsky.

Mr. Ulbinslcy is absolutely right when he says, "no one went back for a second tour ... without having some idea why he was there." Mike Strother's story is exactly that-Mike Strother's own, personal story, one of literally thousands. His is the classic tale of a young man who left home to fight in a war and lost his . innocence. My grandfather said exactly the same thing talking about W.W.I. Dif­ferent continent, different experiences, but same emotions and exactly the same trouble reconciling what had happened and what he had done.

All of us who went through the Wl;\r have our own experiences and memories. If the story by Strother is his method of therapy, fine; but it does not belong in a newspaper as an "article," nor should it have been printed without another point of view. Specifically, talk to some of the Amerindians or Hispanic Americans who served. Strothe! at least is in college. He can not be coping that unsuccessfully. Most of the " non-whites" (which reads, "no~ acceptables" to middle-class TV America) I have met since the war talk not of college but of finding a job or "dry-ing out." · ·

Next, Mr. Vaughan's reply to John Ulbinsky: Mr. Ulbiflsky wrote an opposing point of view. I fail to understand why Vaughan felt compelled to attack Mr. Ulbinslcy personally. Was Strother's story appropriate? I though not, and apparently neither did Mr. Ulbinslcy. Vaughan states there ca~ be only one excuse

Wanted: Objective Editor Who Cari Spell Pompous Editor:

Mr. Vaughan I ask you: What the hell gives you the right to call yourself an editor? Read the advertisement which outlines the job responsibilities of your replacement: "The editor is responsible for the editorial content of the newspaper. He/she manages the editorial staff, assigns stories, edits copy, and assists with the physical layout of the paper." It is most unfortunate that ~o one told you of these duties before you began your pompous reign as staff reactionary. Every issue of The Metropolitan features at least one offensive item, several typographical errors and, more often than not, a self-righteous editorial defense of some past infringe­ment of the most basic rules of journalism which has been pointed out by an irate ex-reader. Editing should be done objectively.o_ if you are so heavily emotionally invested in being right, you should edit an even smaller newspaper which is sup­posed to cater to the whims of the tiny subsection of the population which shares your beliefs.

I am assuming you will print this, as it has been at least as "therapeutic" for me to write this as the Vietnam story was for Mike Strother. Remember, Kevin, I didn't make this stuff up; I'm just reporting the news as I see it.

Sincerely, JoaniJohnson Metro student

P.S. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate your input, but I think you are somewhat misguided in your opinions.

Writer Defends Editorial Editor:

A member of the staff of The Metropolitari suggessted that I express my opinion on the editorial page concerning the recent Vietnam coverage.

I had no idea that my letter would result in a personal attack from the editor himself, Kevin Vaughan. The last time I looked, my right to free expression was guaranteed .by the U.S. Constitution.

Mr. Vaughan's reaction is precisely why I don't share combat experiences with non-participants. My record is not to be subjected to the judgement and belittle­ment of the non-forgiving, the non-caring, or those who would use those experiences for their own purposes.

All of us who went did the best we could, considering the situations in whic;h we were thn~st. That includes infantrymen, nurses, Saigon warriors, even sissy Army pilots.

Tell me Doctor Vaughan. do you think m)· misguided opinions are a result of my Vietnam experiencesr ·

At least Kevin maintained his wrv sense of humor when he called mv letter a .. blast" of his coverage. You should be there when the Aviators re~lly start blasting.

John Ulbinsky-Aerospace

for Mr. Ulbinskys letter-he was a pilot and therefore missed the "real war". That statement in itself demonstrates that all the blood and guts stories in the world do not achieve their purpose. The war was not isolated to one area or to a specific unit~ Whether on the ground, in the air or on the sea, the war was pervasive. In trying to attack Mr. Ulbinsky, Vaughan proved his point better than Mr. Ulbinslcy could himself. War stories are best related by those who can convey more than a Mack Bolan Tale.

The crowning statement was Vaughan's P.S.: " ... but I think you are somewhat misguided in your opinion." Am I to imply from this that Stother's story was fact?

I think I can answer my own question. What gives Vaughan the right to take issue with an opposing point of view? Ah, there is the answer-Mike Strother is a good friend of the editor, and I am willing to bet Va1:1ghan never heard of John Ulbinsky. That, more than anything else, is the basis for Vaughan's interpretation of the First Amendment.

Raymond M. Anderson

, Critic Has Poetic License To the Editor:

Once again I must voice my outrage about the piss-poor journalism of The Metropolitan.

In my last week's letter to the editor you managed to make three mistakes: 1) "It makes me sick" not "It make me sick" 2) "Ad hominum fallacies" (fallacy of personal attack) not "add fallacies" 3) The name is Gabrisch not Gabish. Is this some subtle credibility blower or is The Metropolitan staff really

ignorant? In conclusion, here is a poem I am submitting along with my letter.

Kevin Vaughan is full of jokes. The paper he edits is quite the hoax. Rhyme and rhythm I have neither But that's OK, cause Kevin can't edit either.

Public Forum Will Be Held A public forum will be held on

Thursday, April 25, at noon in the Auraria Student Center, Room 230 C & D to answer questions and receive in­put on proposed changes in Auraria parking operations. The Auraria Park­ing and Transportation Advisory Com­mittee will consider changes to become effective during the 1985-86 academic year.

Enrollment shortfalls at all three Auraria institutions and the popularity of free parking at Mile High Stadium have had a significant impact in park­ing revenues. These shortfalls and higher costs in part resulting from man­datory classified staff salary increases will make increases in parking rates necessary. Also proposed is a 25° round­trip fare for the trolley ride to and from free parking at Mile High Stadium.

The proposed Parking and Transpor­tation budget is 6 percent below the current 84-85 budget. Two staff posi­tions have been eliminated, and reduc­tiqns have been made in other budget areas. Revenues for 1984-85 are expected to be 17 percent belQw estimates. Presented rate changes include: increase of 25 cents per day in daily fee lots, except in Lot.T; increase in hourly visitor rates in Lots G & Q to $1.00 per hour; increase of $3 month in all monthly lots.

Child Care Offered For Finals Week

The Auraria Child Care Center is run­ning a pilot program to help students who are in need of child care during the weeks of final exams.

The service will be available the weeks of May 6 to 10 and 13 to 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. State regulations require the center to limit its attendance to 20 children at a time.

The center will accept toilel: trained children between the ages of two and a half and eight, provided their parents remain on campus and provide an ac­curate account of their whereabouts.

The fee is 50 cents per hour per child, and children can stay at the center for a total of four hours. The service will be available in room 254 of the Student Center, and a variety of activities are planned to keep the children busy while their parents take their final exams.

U.S. Central Am~

"The tie that binds"

by Mike Strother Reporter, The Metropolitan

Beneath the watchful eyes of Denver's newly installed mounted police force, hundreds of peaceful demonstrators held hands and encircled the Federal Building Saturday in protest of U.S. intervention in Central America.

Despite the threat of rain, the p~ testers assembled at the steps of the State Capitol and marched down the 16th St. Mall to Stout Street, then turned east to the Federal Building, which they encir­cled five times-from beginning to end.

They chanted slogans and !1.Pplauded loudly as passing motorists signalled their approval with their horns.

As part of a nationwide campaign call­ed "The Pledge Of Resistance," the march drew spectators and participants to Denver from all walks of life.

Many of Colorado's college students ·attended.

"It's an incredible turn-out," said Jas Smitl;i, a political science major at UCD. Smith was among the first hundred or so that arrived early, eyeing a rain storm that was visible in the mountains west of Denver.

Glen Smith, 64, a W.W. II Air-Corps vet from Rye, Colo. participated in the march. His long, greying hair was bound together in a pony-tail and tucked under his denim cap as he proudly posed with his protest sign by the monument honor­ing America's Civil War veterans.

Sister Juliana, one of a group of five from St. Mary's Convent in Littleton was also there. She marched in concern for her fellow sisters now serving in Lima, Peru.

"We have a peace and justice group at St. Mary's," she said, "and I belong to that. The congregation supports us, too."

Connie Newton, 49, a housewife from Golden, marched with her husband Len.

"We're here because we thought it was time people like us got openly involved," she said. They carried a sign that pro-

A pleasant day; a

claimed "Our Brothers And Sisters , There".

Other protest signs read: "Cr Silos-Not ·Missile Silos";"Stop l Intervention in Central America"; "Pe Is Possible"; and "The People United \i Never Be Defeated."

The marchers were orderly and di cheers from the crowds of shoppers 1

workers who interrupted their activi to watch the human chain. It was so 11 that the beginning and the end could be seen at the same time.

In broken harmony, the chants pasred through the marchers like a wave, offer­ing, "Peace Now" and "Ronald Reagan-he's no good. Send him back to Hollywood."

Four mounted police escorted the mar­chers to the Federal Building. Denver Police told The Metropolitan that no additional officers, other than normal traffic control, had been assigned to the area.

~amo Bay'Underplays Racism's T.oll .. by Meredith Ray Special to The M etropoUtan

Alamo Bay is billed as a story impired by true events, namely the in­flux of Vietnamese immigrants into Texas coastal towns, and the resulting conflicts in the fishing industry. The film offers amazing imight into these events. If you watch and listen carefully, you will learn that the Ku Klux Klan is a nas­ty bunch of fellows. If you already knew that, Alamo Bay is a waste of time.

The film focuses on three characters: Dinh, a newly arrived Vietnamese immigrant; and Glory, Shang' s occa­sional lover, who helps run her father's fishing business.

Dinh (Ho Nguyen) finds a job with Glory and then sets his sights on own-ing his own business. ·

Shang (Ed Harris), who resents the Vietnamese fishing in American waters, wants Glory to end her relationship with Dinh. Glory (Amy Madigan) is stuck in the middle. She .knows Shang is often wrong, yet she finds herself attracted to him for some reason.

This synopsis provides the basic con­flict necessary for a good story. But there's one major problem: Shang is an ass. Shang's personality and actions makes the story one-sided, belittles

Glory is full of the contradictions that exist in ~ people: She tells her fath~ (well-played by Donald Moffat) that he's a mean old man, then she says she lo'1t him. She hates everything that Shang is, yet she is attracted to him.

At one point Glory tells Dinh that Shang has been on her mind since s~e was 16. "I wasted a lot of time, 'cuz he's nobody. But he's still on my mind," she says.

As a result, their relationship detracts from Glory's otherwise realistic, imightful characterization. Glory's character and irritates the

audience. If someone would have grabbed a rifle

and done away with Shang, we could have gone on with the story, but we are stuck with him throughout the film. He hits his wife (when he's not cheating on her), yells at his kids, kicks moving cars, and threatens congregations during church services.

Because Shang is such a jerk, the audience doesn't care when he can't catch enough fish to make a living. Nor do they care when his boat is repossesred. As several characters in the film tell him, he deserves it.

If Shang had started out as a nice guy who went too far when threatened, we may have felt some empathy for him. · Instead he's seen as a red-neck, causing problems for people who want only to make a living. As a result, viewers don't care about his side of the issue.

In contrast with Shang, Glory has a more balanced personality, a character with real wea.knesses and strengths. She realizes the Vietnamese workers are talc-

The insane bigotry which permeates the town, and eventually brin~ the Ku Klux Klan to Alamo Bay, also permeates the film, creating too much tension with little release. ·

There are townspeople who just go on with their lives, helping the immigrants whenever they can. Some people even' make a special effort to protect the rights of the Vietnamese fishermen.

But aside from Glory and her father, the good guys seem to be tokens planted in an attempt to show that the town is not entirely "red-neck." , ·

Somewhere in this film lies the basis for a hell of a story, but it should begin with real people. And it should delve into the emotions and viewpoi.nts involved in all sides of the issue.

Instead it merely says, "See?. Racism is bad." G

Sade Adu Debuts With Hit Album America last month. Unlike her menswear, her music has been well­received.

With the sultry, seductive vocals of Adu and the bluesy II}Usical style of the band, this new pop-jazz band produces a sound that is easy to listen to yet interesting.

-··

The album, with its nine tracks of love songs, has a very refined sound. Lyrics for eight of the nine tracks on the album were written by Adu. She and Stuart Matthewman, who plays sax and guitar, composed the m,usic for those eight tracks. The ninth song is a rework of a Timmy Thomas song.

America, the land of opportunity- if at first you don't succeed, try~ try again.

Sade Adu first came to America to >- show a line of menswear she had

designed. America was not impressed.

Sax work by Matthewman all through the album is excellent, even if solo playing time is held to a minimum. Matthewman opens the song "Frankie's ·First Affair" with a sweet sax sound; but then blends in with the rest of the band to highlight Adu. His talent is again displayed on "Sally" but only for a few bars.

The second time she sent something to America, it was her musical talent. This time America was impressed.

Sade Adu, and her band Sade (pro­, nounced Shar-Day) released their

debut album "Diamond Life" in

stands out anywhere on the album. He 'does have a very tight sound with drummer and percussionist Dave Early, who is not a regular m~mber of the band.

The first song to make it big for the band was "Hang on to Your Love," which was released in Europe and rocketed to the top of the charts there. Two other songs, "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love is King," are getting lots of air play here in America.

Lead singer Adu is the focal point of the band. Her vocals are pleasant to listen to. She can move you with her voice.

It is unfortunate that the band is not allowed to solo a little more on the album. This is not to take an}dhing away from Adu, she is very talented, but a better balance could have been made to allow the talents of the other members of the band to be displayed. If you are quick you can catch their talented musical work.

The closing track "Why Can't We Live Together" is the o_nly song not written and composed by the band. Timmy Tomas allows Sade to remake the song, and they do a moving job in doing so.

One song that will soon be getting air play is "Cherry Pie." Ifs an up-beat

Some bands are destined for greatn~: big concerts, numerous albums and a large following. Others never make it out of the bar circuit. They continue perform­ing in small clubs, never making an album, and only having a cult following. The Beat Farmers should stay in the lat­ter group.

The Beat Farmers, who originated out of San Diego, have put out an album, entitled "Tales of the New West." Unfor­tunately the "tales" recounted in the album are not worth listening to more than once.

The Beat Farmers' first album would be enjoyable to hear- as long as the album was free; to pay for the album

would be a waste of money"

The band is capable at times of pro­ducing a good country sound. For exam­ple the cut "Showbiz" has a good country intro, and ending.

But in the middle of the song they try and fail to produce the popular rock-a­billy sound.

None of the band members seem to have any individual talent and the bland vocals bear that out.

Four members of the MSC men's baseball team have been nominated for the NAIA All District seven team by Head Coach Bill Helman, who feels

.jft-st baseman Ronn Wells has the best chance of the four.

Well, who is nominated for relief pit­ching and first base, has a personal bat­ting average of .393. He has three home runs and 31 RBI's. His pitching §tatistics read, after 21 innings pitched, 18 strike outs, four saves an~ a won-loss record of 1-1.

"I want the whole team to go to district playoffs," Wells said, but he also mentioned that he wouldn't mind being drafted by a big-league team. :.. Helman predicts Wells has the best chance of making the team because of his two-category nominations.

"Wells' 1'1tching stats are great. If they ignore those stats they're goofy," Helman said.

The other three nominees are Todd Vaughn, catcher and designated hitter,

SPORTS MSC Women's Softball Gets Four Wins, Gives Away Two

The MSC women's softball team won four games and lost two last week, bring­ing its overall record to 23-10, a figure Head Coach Jim Romero wanted to avoid.

"I didn't want to hit that double figure (in the lost column) but we did," Romero said. The Roadrunners started their week with two victories against Colorado State University, 4-2, and 7-2.

The momentum continued Friday, when they beat Fort Lewis College at home, 3-1 and 6-0, but faded Saturday when they lost the second double-header against Ft. Lewis, 2-0, 3 -2 . These were the first two back-to-back losses for the team all season.

Romero attributed the loss to the team's batting.

"Some of the players have gotten into a slump," Romero said. He said they will concentrate more on bunting and batting

this week in practice. Llz Miret pitched all four games Fri­

day and Saturday, mostly because of her experience on the mound, Romero said.

"You have to go with the best when you want to win," Romero said. "Llz has a little bit more experience, cont;rol and confidence."

Romero said the losses won't set him back. "We've still got a winning .seaSon," he said. "We got a little bit low, but we'll pick ourselves up."

The Roadrunners scored on a lot of doubles and triples on Friday, but got only one hit in the first game on Satur­day. It came from Kristy Heckman.

Romero said the Roadrunners are a good, solid team.

"We were a little flat," he said, "but we will just have to fix the flat tire." D

is sponsoring a faculty /student tricycle race Friday, "to help create tradition on the Auraria campus," said Anne Clark, a member of the office. ,

"We don't have any kind of tradition, like a winter carnival or a homecoming," Clark said. -·

The Ninth Street 900, which will actually be held on 10th St., because of traffic on Ninth, will involve nine or ten heats, "depending on the number of entries," Clark said.

Three people will be involved per team-one to ride, and two to help push. "It's a challenge for one person to ride a tricycle a great distance, so you need two to push," Clark said. Four tricycles are special-ordered from Logan, Utah, and will be donated to the Auraria Child Care Center for use until next year's race. Entrance fee for the race is $10.

"We had to get special bikes for the

race so we could change the handle bars to allow an adult to ride," Clark said. "The kind you buy at Target are one piece and aren't designed to hold the weight of an adult."

The race will begin at 12:30 p.m. Clark said entries will be taken "up until the last minute."

She said she hopes to tie in the race with the Metropolitan State College 20th Birthday celebration, to be held on the patio of the Student Center. _ "The students will have a good vantage point (from the patio)," Clark said.

The racers will be divided into four groups accordingly: MSC, UCD, DACC, and AHEC faculty and staff. The four division champs will race for the cham­pionship, Promotional gifts will be pro­vided by Anheuser Busch.

Fitn~ Fair .. Prepares. for Take Off

High blood pressure: It's known as the silent killer. It effects thousands of people' every year and is a direct result of stress.

An excellent opportunity for students to have their blood pressure checked, just

"1>rior to the high stress of finals week, is at the Third Annual Wellness and Fitness Fair.

But blood pressure is just one of the many tests offered free to students at the fair, which is to be held in the PER gym

,_Thursday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 6p.m.

The fair is an exce1lent chance to test muscle strength and endurance, flexibili­ty, cardiovascular endurance, body com­position, visual acuity, hematocrit (the

•level of healthy blood cells in one's system), height and weight, dental health, and to view films and demonstrations.

The fair, which has been in prepara­tion for four months, was put together by

·the MSC Physical Education Depart­ment in conjunction with Campus Recreation and the MSC Student Health Clipic. These three organizations have worked together to bring an outstanding list of profes.sionals in the area of health

... and fitness to ttie fair.

There will be displays from the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, American Lung Association, Dairy Council, Heart Association and many mo re.

Campus organizations participating in the fair include Disabled Student Ser­vices, MSC Counseling Center, and the Nursing Club. In addition Holistic Health students have planned special exhibits and demonstrations.

• Professor Cheryl Norton has her Exer­cise Physiology class working at the fair as well. These students will be assisting by taking information for people interested in having their verticle jump, sit up and ventilation measurements

-: taken.

The fair is a perfect time to supplement the nationwide fitness craze. But it also offers a lot to those who aren't in shape with much information on overall health.

'\ The £air's sponsors hope to attract more than 500 people d~ng the day.

The three organizations would like to see students making a "fit stop" at this year's fair to test how fit they are-or get an idea of how fit they can become. 0 ..,
