Burning the midnight oil may be necessary.

Burning the 2 :00 or 3 :00 or 4:00 AM oil is absurd.

Especially when an HP calculator can get the answers you want - in time to get a good night's sleep. ·

For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have even more potential.

PG l2602

That's because there are better than 2500 software packages available for them - more than for any other calculator.

There's even a special plug-in software package (we call it the Advantage Module) that's designed to handle the specific problems an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work.

No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences widely regard HP calculators as the best you can get.

So check one out. Then, when your mother calls to ask if you're getting enough sleep, you won't have to lie.

Is NEO Really New?

In Denver the new and the avante garde filters in all too slowly from the coasts. If I could figure out where to buy the fashions I see in Esquire and GQ I still wouldn't know where to wear them.

But we do have a pipeline to a dif­ferent sort of style. Texas chic seems to make the leap instantaneously.

For some strange reason we have become a second city to Houston fashion. For restaurants like Chili's and The Black Eyed Pea and clubs like

Confetti's Denver is the the next step proving ground out of the South. So when I heard of a new club up from the big H where you could actually wear those GQ clothes I thought I'd better look into it.

NEO in Glendale is the newest con­cept of McFadden Ventures, the same people who brought us Confetti's.

The Texas Chic Pipeline

When Confetti's bought the farm McFadden began remodeling all it's clubs and NEO is a new prototype.

Rumor has it the new club even bas some of the good old boys from Chrys­lers and the Baywolf defecting across to the wrong side of Colorado Blvd.

I looked upNEO in my handy desk­top Webster's. Neo (ne/.o) prefix sig­nifying new or recent. So I guess to say the new NEO is slightly redundant (like now defunct Denver, Denver the most redundant nightclub I have ever seen). '

As an ace reporter my motto has always been - help stamp out and get rid of redundancy.

I asked a friend who is into nightlife what she thought of Neo.

"Really terrific, very avante garde," she said. "With a sound system light years ahead of its time."

She sounded like a press release. I asked another friend, who's some­

what of an autljority, what he thought.

He said all he saw were a bunch of yuppies standing around in their sus­penders with a lot of mousse in their hair.

I decided I had better make a per­sonal visit even though I hate discos. My idea of a bar is the old Shamrock down on Broadway where they have a 50¢ a shot Happy Hour from 7 till 9 in the morning.

Friday night I called up a lady friend of mine who's a real good looker and knows how to dress up apd told her to meet me there at eleven. Then I got out my most avante garde outfit, which looks like Nieman Marcus meets Revenge of the Nerds, and headed out.

After a fifteen minute search for a parking spot I found the looker wait­ing at the door. We didn't have to wait in line which made me happy and then I shelled out eight hucks in cover charge which didn't.

Inside were wall to wall bodies with everyone flexing their fashion muscles. The range and style ran from the hideous County Seat Colorado Cow­boy to Brooks Brothers. From Laguna Beach to Miami Beach with a lot of print stuff that looked straight from the big houses in New York. Most of the men had moussed up crew cuts. Reminded me of my dad with the clippers in one hand and the butch wax in the other.

Against the ·.vall were some yuppies in suspenders.

The clutter of Confetti's had been replaced with large open spaces with the decor causing an ifnpression of airyness. Huge single prints of unde­termined nature hung on walls painted either a pastel pink or pastel blue.

Now where have I seen that motiff before?

No problem guessing, all I had to do was glance at the crowd to see a hundred Don Johnson look-alikes.

While the sound system blasted out something unrecognizable with an incessant beat I put the looker under tow and headed for the bar. Instead of my usual blue ribbon and shot of Bushmills I thought I'd play the part and ordered an Absolut and Perrier with a squeeze. ~le the looker had a white russian I continued to check out the crowd.

The first thing I noticed were a whole lot of really good looking unatt­ached women decked out in full rega­lia. I mean dressed to kill. As an ace reporter I decided I had better move around a little, interview a few people and get the feel of the place. A good idea as it put me in very close proxim­ity to several of these good looking women. Who said journalism wasn't fun?

I talked with a tall nice looking cock­tail waitress named Susan who was walking around with a tray full of shots for sale - tequila or peach schnappes.

What a concept. I liked it so much I bought two of

each. Susan started looking even bet­ter. She wasn't wearing the same skimpy black and yellow outfits as the rest of the female help. She had on one of those dresses that looked like it was made from heavy drapery. She would have looked better in tlie black and yellow.

Susan said she loved working at NEO and she couldn't wait until the newly redecorated Piranha Club opened up downstairs. She said it would be like a private club and you would have to have on at least a suit to get in.

I said I couldn't wait either. The looker made me dance a couple

of times and then I headed upstairs to talk to Larry the head DJ in the sound booth overlooking the dance floor.

The music never stopped but I had yet to recognize a song and Larry clued me in. He said he refused to play any top forty songs like at the other discos. He said he makes frequent trips to Houston and L.A. to find "progres­sive music people like to dance to." He also said the concept at NEO was to "just have fun" unlike Confetti's where the idea had been to get wild and crazy.

Well I "just had fun" at N EO . I might even go back. And if your cur­rent date holds a gun to your head and makes you go dancing this is a good place to do it.

Although the big mirrored ball over the dance floor will remind you that even all dressed up - it's still a disco.

Parties and pain the essence of game by Sean-Michael Gilmore

You've seen the commercials. A man in uniform swinging the bat in slow motion, sweat glistening on smooth muscle. The essence of hitting.

I've always wondered what a com­mercial for Rugby would be like. The essence of pain maybe. A forward covered in sweat and blood, in fatigue and determination. Or a second row

· leaping high above the scrambling lineout to gracefully tap the ball to the waiting scrum half.

You've seen the bumper stickers. Rugby players eat their dead. Rugby players play with leather balls.

It's true, we do. But that's not the whole truth. Rugby

players are also doctors and lawyers. You can find them at Martin Marietta as well as the local construction site. Hard men as well as men of sensitivity and compassion who can turn it all to grim determination and action on the playing field.

Some are also students and some new Metro students found out about the essence of Rugby· in their first game of the season against Ft. Carson's Ironhorse Rugby Club on Saturday.

"It was a rookie game" said Metro's team captain Allan Wilson. "Half the

SEPT. 8-12 10AM-4PM

side were rookies''. he said, "we wanted to give them the chance to play and get the feel for the game." Wilson also praised the new players.

"They were outstanding, they hit hard and moved the ball well,'' he said.

Trys were made by Kevin Tindall and Brian Bath with two good conver­sions by J. Thomas.

Wilson and other veterans have been

manning a recruitment desk outside the cafeteria during registration hop­ing to encourage would be ruggers.

"We can field a full "A" side of Vet­erans,'' he said, "but anything can happen during a game and we need good recruits for the "B" side as well."

"We're going to need a full roster if we're going to beat Air Force in the Collegiate Cup," said Wilson.

Practice is held Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Auraria football field.

By the way, Metro lost to the Army club 14 to 10. But that's okay, losing only makes a rugger madder, or is it a madder rugger? Besides, there is always the great party afterwards.

Which is really and truly the essence of Rugby. D

A few sippers reaching for the big one.

Tt.e Metropolitan September 8, 1986

Lottery tickets were a big item.

A taste of Colorado, Fe·ast of the Rockies A weekend smorgasbord of food

and fun highlighted Denver's Civic Center Park and introduced thousands of people to A Taste of Colorado.

Forty booths representing Colorado restaurants expanded the width of the park, and offered a variety of foods to tempt the most selective palates.

From beef subs, sushi and BBQ ribs to French tarts, cinnamon rolls and Baklava, the four-day celebration catered to all tastes.

And if those tastes lead to pleasures beyond thenourishingkind,A Taste of Colorado still answered the call with craft booths and daily entertainment.

Jewelry, pottery, baskets, T-shirts and hats lined Colfax and Broadway Avenues depicting the intricate work of their artisans.

Daily performances offered opportunity to relive some popular moments in music history. Friday, Al Stewart performed two shows.

Martha and the Vandellas, The Shirelles and Mary Wells provided the afternoon and evening shows on Saturday with a musical lapse into the 50's and 60's. At 3:00 and 8:00 p.m. Sunday Ameriqa performed, and the Denver Symphony Orchestra finished

the Labor Day celebration with a show at 8:00 p .m . Monday.

A small carnival provided rides, clowns and magic shows for the young and the young at heart. And for those over 18, and who felt a need for a game of chance, the Colorado Lottery was out in Hill force selling thousands of tickets each day

The Festival of Mountain and Plain -A Taste of Colorado - originated in 1895 as a way of easing tension and lifting spirits during the days of the silver mining boom. It lasted until 1912, and wa~revived in 1983 by the Denver Partnership, Inc. It has run each year since.

This year, all contributing forces agreed it should be a holiday to remem­ber. The Tivoli got involved in the celebration with trolley rides every 15 minutes between the Tivoli complex and Lawrence and Larimer Streets. The Denver Police Department was present providing security, and though dark clouds threatened showers each day, the worst the festival received was a few drops.

A little rain, some fine music and lots of food contributed to a celebration of an old tradition in Colorado's history.

Non-student raids campus bookstore

A suspected drug uset stole several items of clothing from the Auraria Book Center last week, escaped in a Lincoln Continental and is still at large, according to a bookstore official.

Mike Curnow, acting Auraria Book Center director. said several sweatshirts, valued at about $18 each, were stolen, but he was uncertain of the total value of the goods.

"It was a grab and run," Curnow said. "In this particular case he was not armed."

Curnow said the suspect, who is a non-student, had been reported to the Denver police for other thefts, and the police believe he is a drug user.

"He has b een involved in a robbery of the Woolworth's downtown," he said.

When asked what he thought the suspect would do with the good!=, Cur­now said, "What all drug pushers do -

sell them to get drugs." The Auraria Public Safety report

regarding the incident said that a security guard tried to stop the suspect as he attempted to leave the store with the merchandise.

"The suspect ran from bookstore security and was last seen getting into a black Lincoln Continental," the report stated .

According to the report, the vehicle proceeded westbound on Curtis Street from 9th Street, and the crime was reported to the Denver Police Department.

"Attempts to locate the vehicle and suspects have met with negative results," the report stated.

Curnow said this is not a rare occur­ence, and the suspect probably timed it to coincide with this time of the aca­demic year when the bookstore is busiest.

- Lisa Arndt

Several items, ranging from a Chev­rolet Z28 to an umbrella, were reported stolen during the first week of classes, according to Auraria Public Safety.

According to a Public Safety bul­letin, Chuck Rike reported his 1986 Chevrolet Z28 stolen from parking lot R between 10:20 a.m. and 3:20 p.m., August 17.

Lolly Ferguson, technical services manager for Public Safety, said though the lots are patrolled by hut attendants and Public Safety officers, cars still get vandalized and stolen.

"We do get a few stolen each year," she said.

Ferguson said to her knowledge, the car has not yet been found.

Since the trolley service started in the fall of 1984, ridership has more than doubled, Ready said. In 1984, one trolley ran with a daily ridership of approximately 600. Ready estimated that this semester ridership has increased to 1500.

The increase in ridership has created the need for more trolleys and more drivers, raising the cost of tlie service, Ready said.

Even though most students will con­tinue to ride the trolley, some consider a fare unfair.

"Because they don't have enough parking, they should offer a free park­ing service," MSC junior Mona Fasth said.

Metro Senior Larry Burt doesn't mind the cost:

"Four dollars isn't that much when you consider other parking which is $1.50 a day."

Riders can pay the fare either by purchasing round-trip tickets for 25 cents or by purchasing a monthly pass for $4.00.

Round-trip tickets are available from machines on the west side of the Stu­dent Center and monthly passes are available at the parking office, 1250 Seventh St.

Restroom privacy? A void the library

by, Lisa Arndt

Vandals are causing intrusions of privacy in the Auraria library.

Mark Gerhart, MSC student body president, said that within the first few days of his first semester in office, two students complained to him about the lack of locks on the bathroom doors in the library.

"Apparently they were either stolen or broken," Gerhart said. "It was vio­lating (the complainants') privacy."

Gerhart said he tackled the problem s"wiftly.

"I immediately called Carol Chap­man at the library," he said.

Chapman, assistant to the director of the library, said she al~o tackled the problem swiftly.

"We let AHEC know," she said. "The AHEC physical plant is respon­sible for the building maintenance."

"The whole building maintenance is a constant struggle," she said. "AHEC has a maintenance schedule that they go by. Locks are one of those things

they check on." "Why people end up destroying

those locks beats me," she said. "It looks to me like (the locks) were pried out."

Chapman said the locks are not expensive and the library is not the only campus building experiencing this problem.

"I don't think we're unique and I don't think it's a huge problem," she said. "Apparently we've narrowed the problem down to the men's bathroom here."

The problem would have been taken care or sooner, Chapman said, but most of the library employees are women.

"Since most of us here are ladies, we have to be notified when there's a problem with the men's rooms," she said. "Normally people let us know if there's a problem."

Chapman said she is sending a copy of the AHEC ·work order to Gerhart so he can assure his constituents that the problem will soon be solved .·

Check your gun at the Mission

A man was arrested in a campus drinking establishment for displaying a tear gas-like weapon on the bar last week.

Lolly Ferguson, technical services manager of the Auraria Public Safety said the suspect was arrested by the Denver Police Department for dis­turbing the peace and brandishing a weapon in the Mission bar in the Stu­dent Center.

"We got a call from the Mission stat­ing some one had a firearm at the bar,"

she said. "It was like a tear gas gun." Ferguson said Public Safety con­

tacted the Denver Police Department because, "We were not sure whether it was considered a firearm."

The suspect also had a pint of whis­key in his possession, which is illegal in a 3.2 bar, she said.

"He did not threaten to use (the weapon)," Ferguson said, "but he did have it in plain view, which is disturb­ing to other people's peace of mind.

Free Flight:· the pain ·of inner-city death

by Bob Haas

I have watched a thing die. Not a mosquitoe, nor an ant, nor a soldier in an old war movie.

You cannot see into the eyes of a mosquitoe, cannot watch its chest rise and fall, faster and faster until spastic. You do not notice, as it smashes beneath your hand, its head jerking desperately from side to side.

Mostly the eyes. An ant's eyes are tiny, much too small

for me to see the life inside. And then suddenly, in those eyes

scared and wide, there is nothing. A used and bloodstained battlefield.

Empty. Closed silent tombs.

Together last night we watched it happen. We plucked an injured bird from the city street. Together we watched a pigeon die.

I was uncomfortable. For those few moments· when I realized she was struggling with her final moments, I was terrified.

I wanted to run, to forget. To throw her convulsing body out the window to the alley below.

I wanted to sing songs and pretend she was not lying there on our floor dying.

Dead. Instead, I watched my shaking fin­

ger reach out and touch the soft feath· ers of her neck, caress her pathetically salved and bandaged body. Yesterday was not a sad day for dead pigeons. Rather, it was our day to live for a dying.

It always happens and always will. She was so noble and silent in death,

so much stronger than a pigeon should be. She must hate us for inflicting anes­thetic pain in her last hour of open­eyed flight . Had we not happened by, she could have continued, a wrinkle­widowed squaw awaiting night's com­fort - cold winded death.

- I carried the box shielding her limp body downstairs to the alley. Her head twisted unnaturally, angled to one side. I covered her body with an oily red bandana, threw her cardboard casket into the garbage dumpster - back to the city street.

I couldn't breath. Yesterday was not a sad

day for dead

Her dead body belonged to the dirty street, to the people driving by in belching cars, probably instruments of her death. Back to the people too busy to notice her in their afflicting pain. Let them have their dead bird.

Ah. Labor day. Jerry Lewis begging for pennies. Parades and puppies. A day off from the old "organized labor" grind.

And aren't we proud to be part of America? Organ­ized labor and all. Let's celebrate it. Let's take a day to reflect on it.

I bet those Frontier Airlines folks are happy about being part of it all. Look what organized labor did for them. It gave a group of competing pilots the chance to squash the other guys' careers like ants at the picnic.

Remember how we all felt sorry for the United guys when mean old management picked on them and they decided it best to stike? They must ha~e learned some manners from the company officials they cl~im to hate.

"Piss on everybody else. This is my turf!" Yeah, right on. Organized labor. Getting paid too much for doing the same old job. It used to be that the cost-efficient, put-the-consumer-first company survived. Now it's the strongest super-structure {organized labor force) that makes it. .

But you say Organized Labor Forces take care of the little guy.

Tell David Roberts or Dale Coske. They know all about being taken care of.

Every police officer hears it in the academy. Being a cop is dangerous. Being a cop is stressful. Being a cop is just plain nasty work.

But with such talk comes the promise: The Denver Police department will always take care of you.

Hah. Both Roberts and Coske were critically injured - each almost killed - in the line of duty.

Roberts: arresting a couple kidnappers {one of whom has escaped from Canon City prison).

Coske: aiding a motorist broken down in the most dangerous of places {under the airport tunnel during heavy traffic).

Each had a goal during their Hellish road to rehabili­tation. Each yearned to return to the nasty work they were proud to perform. They did their part, they did their job and they got shafted. No place in the depart­ment and no salary.

OK. Neither could wrestle a thug to the ground and they'd probably have trouble assisting a standard motorist. But what about that promise? Who's taking care of these people who took good care of us?

Thanks a lot kids. Here's your departmental purple heart. We're sure proud of you. Now beat it. Get a job. Don't embarrass us. Go on.

Organized labor. Yeah. Let's take the day off and celebrate.

I wonder if United would hire Coske and Roberts with the rest of the groveling beggers from the Frontier debris.

Probably not. After all, they don't have to. It's the union - it's their turf.

ADULT GAMES Bob Haas City Editor

The way they like to play. Adults play in parks with balls, in bars with conversa­

tion, and in beds with emotion. Adults like to play. Remember as a kid, when the playing made a hurt? A

thump on the head of after dinner neighborhood summer romp? Or that terrrifying bicycle spin, arms outstretched fall? But in spite of the falls, in spite of the hurt, kids still played. .

They grew through and survived big brother leaving with laughing friends, shivering tears of alone in a con­struction site, strange neighborhood and night approaching. The dirt clod fight had been rough, too rough for one so much younger, such an easy target. Playing with the big boys was playing to get hurt.

Now, the playing is called office politics or adminis­trative bureaucracy or manipulative mind-f{screw).

In the office it's, 'Tm the.one who signs your check" and in the administrative quagmire it's "the rules clearly state" and in the relationship screw it sounds like "I know I've put you off, but I really need to see my other friend Benny the Benzedrine King tonight."

It's no fun staying in the backyard playing G.I. Joe with funny little Bernard, not when the big boys are out prowling about and raising hell.

It's no fun filling one's space with productivity and a smile, not when there is so much juicy and sticky adult stuff around: management jealousy or red tape tangling or the effective betrayal of a trust, of a friend.

A friend who would have eventually arrived with a wagon full of dirt clods, you know, the one for all and all for getting walloped together bit of childhood nonsense.

It's just so adult to complicate effectiveness, to glibly def end those systems ridiculous but already in place, to argue that the hurt inflicted was necessary because of that so very adult refuge, "It was him or me."

Playing, we say, because we yearn for something of childhood, of walking home unafraid, covering shared dirt clod hurts with arms around shoulders and the closeness of a friend.

The best friend now has the biggest white line, and the big boys no longer bide behind dirt piles or climb on silent bulldozers. They hide behind shuffled paper and climb the corporate career. Playing with the big boys means playing for real, play­ing to be cool and one step ahead. It's the way adults like to play.

Reader Catches Writer Dear Editor,

Thank you for continuing to provide a high-quality publication for the stu­dents at Auraria. I have read your issues faithfully for at least three years, but now comes the time that I should comment about your August 19th issue.

Carson Reed's article about illegal immigration seemed to be fairly well researched - except for the statement made in his second paragraph, "Illegal aliens - from Mexico mostly, but also from other parts further south: Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, El Salvador." I would like to know if anyone from Puerto Rico is actually an "illegal alien"? .

Perhaps Mr. Reed would benefit from a history class offered at Metro. Puerto Rico citizens are also considered Americans. Perhaps the Metropolitan would benefit from researching facts, not creating fiction.

Dear Ms. Luzardo, Thanks for writing. We appreciate intelligent feedback.

Editor

Sincerely, Kathryn Luzardo
