The born-again brewery

,~ Deteriorating Tivoli to be restored· I by Frank Mullen I

_.., The Auraria Board last week· narrowed the field of prospective Tivoli developers to a Dallas firm which wants to turn the historic brewery into an "arts and crafts center" and a subsidiary of a Canadian firm which proposes to transform the buildings into a modern shopping and entertain­ment complex.

Five companies were interested in developing -the site and the

~ Board's Tivoli Sub-committee met with representatives from each of the groups Sept. 5. The final selec­tion will be made within 30 days.

''The committee selected two groups who seem to have a better

~ financial · base and a higher likelihood of successful develop­ment,'' Dan Paulien, Auraria director of facilities planning and utilization, told the Board Sept. 10. "We have requested more in-

* formation from each of the groups and the committee may want to meet with them one more time."

James Coker, Walter K;oelbel and William Burrow are businessmen from Denver and

--< Dallas. The group wants to devote the interior of the Tivoli into a center for artists, craftsmen, and art galleries. Coker put togethei a

similar project in Dallas. Trizec Western, a subsidiary of

Trizec Corp. of Calgary, Alberta, submitted a proposal to turn the building into a shopping center with shops, offices and theatres. Trizec is in partnership with four. members of the Associates for the . Redevelopment of Tivoli (ART), the ftrm which held two previous leases on the property. The par­tners have taken the name of Tivoli Development Limited and· their plan is similar to the original ART proposal. .

Paulien said the committee will be contacting the two finalists during the next two weeks. When the selection is made, he said, the board can then begin negotiations on a lease agreement for the ap­proximately 133,000 gross square feet of Tivoli soace.

Even if the lease is agreed upon quickly, however, it will be a lo~g time .before construction is com­pleted owing to the extent of the project and the advanced deter-­ioration of the building.

The Denver Turnball within the Tivoli Brewery, the site of German opera performances for decades, now resembles a bombed-OJ.It World War II leftover.

and sent one of the maiti ceiling beams crashing through the. balcony and splintering to the floor. A lattice of steel scaffolds now ho~ds up the roof and sunlight filters through a grillwork of rot­ted- boards. The ancient ope'ra house and brewery, included on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972, is covered with . 100 years of dust.

''Everyone knew there was going to be structural problems in the Turnball,'' Hey don said. ''As

far as I know the recent damages (to the opera house) hasn't changed anybody's plans." ·

Brewmaster John Good had the original building constructed in 1859. It was the first brewery in Colorado, and possesses the oldest well in Denver. The design was by F .C. Eberly and is of th~ Vic­torian-Italianate style with a definite Bavarian flavor. Today its design is unique and there are no other examples of its. kind in the u~s.

flews · ;.. ALS selects local lawyer

by Karen Breslin

Students who seek help from Auraria's Legal Service will now be able Jp consult an attorney about their legal hassles. The Legal Services office, a free student service, has expanded its operations by hiring a lawyer on a part­time basis.

The new addition to the staff is Den­ver Attorney Donald Musselman. Musselman came to the campus after ~orking with area law firms, where he concentrated on civil law. The Auraria position permits Musselman to work as an attorney while attending UCO graduate school. He said the position should help broaden his legal experience. . Though new to the job, Musselman

1tas some definite thoughts on the direc­tion of the program. The function of legal services, he said, is to "help studen­ts identify their problems and advise them of their alternatives.''

Musselman's involvement will often be indirect. In some cases he will refer ~dents to other attorneys when he can­not take additional cases. He hopes to

educate his clients, and other students, of their legal rights and obligations. Studen­ts' legal problems, he said, can often be settled out of court or in a small claims court. He will instruct students on out-of­court settlements and srµall claims court appearances. ·

He is enthusiastic about the potential of the legal services program. The staff now consist of Musselman and director Sally West, but they hope to bring in paralegal students to help out with the load. Musselman would like students to be aware of their existence and their capacity to help. ''No case is too small,'' he said, and "we won't turn anybody away." ·

The year-old program is funded pri­marily by University ·of Colorado at Den­ver student fees , This year a small percen- ~ tage of Metropolitan State College ~ student fees have been added to the fun- :§ ding, making it possible for the service to U'L,..,..-..-.....,...,..~~~~~----_..,....., hire an attorney. The program works off a $12,000 budget and is located in a small office in room 259F of the Student Activities center. Musselman hopes to find larger office space 'and greater fun­ding as student demand increases.

Musselman will put in a twenty hour week, but his office hours are uncertain as yet. The Legal Service can be reached at 629-3333.

BOard resurrects UCD snackbar . $'. ~1--''--~~b-y_S_t_ev_e_Ra~a-be~~~----.

The Auraria Board of Directors, af­ter heavy student pressure, approved a proposal to reopen the financially troubled University of Colorado at Den­ver snack bar. - · Under the new plan, the State Department. of Social Services will assume control of the snack bar, and through a special state program for the blind, will appoint a visually impaired person to manage food service operations.

·>- An alternative plan considered by the Board to install vendiiw machines in place of the snack bar service was rejected after the threat of a student boycott, UCO student government officials said.

''The vending machine people (Manning's) had already been in to mea-4'U'e spaces for the machines," said Linda Jensen, student representative on the Auraria Board. Jensen felt the threat of the boycott was effective because of the numerous restaurant facilities close to the Uct> East Classroom building.

The Board ordered the closure of the ~ackbar .because of a reported $15,000 d~ficit incurred last year. In addition to

high maintenance and janitorial costs, the shortfall was due largely to the more than $34,000 in yearly salaries paid to the three state employees who manned the cafeteria. Je11sen said. .

The new snackbar ~er, Richard Cheeseman, will hire five or six students 1

to work in part-time capacities. This ac­tion will significantly cut overhead ex­penses for the snackbar, Cheeseman said.

Cheeseman will pay $10,000 yearly fee to Auraria for rent, maintenance, and janitorial services. In addition, he will pay the Vending Facilities Program of the Social Services Department 3 percent of the snackbar's gross income.

"I feel this will be a good deal not only for the students, but for me also,'' Cheeseman said. "I've found student personnel to be more intelligent and work more efficiently."

Cheeseman will retain any profits af­ter expenses are met. He said the Depart­ment of Social Serv.ices will pay for remodeling of the snackbar later in the year.

"Obviously, I wouldn't be going in­to this if I didn't think a profit could be made,'' he said. "I feel we can tum it around with better !=fficiency and the

salary differences." The reopening should occur near the

end of September according to Roger Braun, director of the Auraria Student Center. Final contract negotiations must be approved by the Auraria Board and the state Attorney General•s office.

"We anticipate either a slight or no reduction in the snackbar service," Braun said. He expects prices to be comparable to those at the Student Center cafeteria.

Braun said there was "some risk" of legal action from the former snackbar employees who felt they were unfairly dismissed in order to hire lower paid stu­dents. But he added that he felt "fairly secure" because the new plan is being organized through the State Department of Social Services.

Bill Orr, an official of the Colorado Association of Public Employees (CAPE), felt the dismissals were unfair, but apparently not in violation of any laws.

All three former snackbar employees have been relocated within the state per­sonnel system.

Chicanos celebrate and walk-out·

by Sal Raibal

Denver-area Chicanos will celebrate ten years of political struggle September 14-16 with a massive march to the State Capitol and a two-day festi:val at Auraria's Tivoli Field.

The celebration will commemorate both the Grito de Delores (The Cry of· Delores) on September 16 and ·the ten · years that have passed since Denver host­ed the first· national Chicano Youth Con­ference in 1969.

Delegates to the 1969 conference agreed that on September 16 Chicano stu­dents would walk out of their classrooms to bring nation-wide attention to the plight of the Chicano.

This year tll'e walk-out will take place on September 14. Chicano organi­zations from both Colorado and Wyom­ing will join the students in a march from various city parks to the downtown rally center. Denver activist Rudolfo "Corky" Gonzales will be the featured speaker at the State Capitol.

The action will move to the T1vob Field at Auraria that evening at 6 p.m. for a festival featuring food, games and a carnival. ·

For the next two days, Tivoli will the focal point of activities, including folk ballet, theater and a raffle. .

The high and rising cost of health care-you see specials about it on TV, read about it in your newspaper and experi­ence it yourself as the bills arrive in the mail. The causes are multiple; the solu­tions complex.

Health care insurance is one of the factors in this complicated issue. While some experts implicate health in­surance as one of the demons driving up costs for the consumer, it still remains a protection against the financial devastation of unpredictable illness or ac-

. cident. All full time (10 hours or more) Metropolitan State College students, unless they have waived the insurance because of other coverage, are covered each semester by a health insurance plan.

Uetails ot this coverage are available in a brochure which is distributed at the MSC Student Health Service - or can be ordered calling 629-2525. Many students pay needlessly for bills the health in­surance covers because they are unaware of the policy's benefits.

Filing an insurance claim can be a complicated procedure . . Questions may arise t;.ke: What is mr policy number? Am I covered over semester breaks? Will I be covered on my vacation out of the coun­try? Are office visits covered? Will my vasectomy be covered? All of these an-

swers and additional help in completing the claim form may be obtained at the Student Health Service.

Each full time student pays the $16.75 health insurance cost out of the student service fees paid with tuition. This money goes to the insurance comap­ny, Southland Life of Dallas, Texas and coverage begins the first day of cl~ses. Claims, however, are processed through the Student Health Service, which acts as a liaison for the student. The following are some of the questions most asked by students about their insurance:

Question: If I'm not a full time Metropolitan State College student, can I purchase the insurance coverage?

Answer: Any MSC student carrying 6-9 credit hours may purchase the in­surance. It must be done during the first four weeks of each semester at the Busi­ness Office. Deadline for this fall is Oc­tober 1.

CCD students may use the CCD Health Service located across the room from the MSC desk. CCD has an insurance plan which students may sign up for on a volunteer basis.

UCD students have no health care available on the Auraria campus. They may use the University's clinic in Boulder for a fee. · Question: May I sign up my child for health insurance?

Answer: Any MSC student who carries 6 or more credit hours and ·has the insurance coverage may sign up for op­tional dependent coverage for children and/or a spouse. Again, this must be done during the first four weeks of each semester.

Urban Interface iS ''a~ touch'' of the streets r . by Frau Mullen I

Imagine 'a four credit course that lasts only 11 days, but which exposes the students to places, people and lifestyles they have never known before. The pro­gram sends the participants into areas of the city they may have passed by, but have never entered. ·

The course, Urban Interface, is an offering of the Metropolitan State College departments of history and philosophy. It is the brainchild of Charles Angeletti, an MSC history professor. An­geletti based the course on the type of ex­periential training which was given to Vis­ta volunteers. The MSC version is more structured, he said, and the students are required not only to experience but to apply their knowledge and reach their own conclusions about what they have seen and done.

Students enrolled in the Interface program spend one day in a small Colorado town and spend five days and four nights in the inner city of Denver. Students are given $1 per day and required to visit several areas of the city - including Skid Row, the West Side Chicano community, Capitol Hill and the predominantly black neighborhoods of

' '

the Five Points Area. "It is not a survival course," said

Angeletti. "Although surviving on th-. streets is part of it .... The course is an at­

. tempt to humanize education and encour­age students to become active partici­pants in a learning environment."

The Interface staff is composed of people from several backgrounds and lifestyles. The staff meets the student pa;.. ticipants daily at several locations' . throughout the city for "feedback" sessions. The purpose of the course, one staff member said, is to shake some of the l_ong-held beliefs the students may hold about the city and its people.

Loren Watson, former leader of t~ Denver Black Panthers and now an Inter:. ·face staff manber' said he considers the course "the closest college level attempt to reach reality."

''The course gives people just a brief touch of the reality of the streets," Wat­son said. "But maybe sometime in the future that brief touch will be all the pe?­son needs."

Angeletti said the program still has four student positions open for the fall semester. Interested students may call him for further details and the ct)urse number at 629-3114, or 321-3815.

Harve·y's biori~iculous triple high~ by Frank Mullen

Harvey was feeling poorly. It was, he said, one of those days when hejust couldn't do anything right.

"Maybe i('s your biorhythms,'' a friend tofd him. He did not know what biorhythms were, so his

friend showed him how to compute his own through use of the charts currently appearing in the Rocky Moun­tain News. Sure enough, when Harvey finished adding up the figures and checking them against the chart, the results showed two "lows" and a "critical."

Harvey was impressed by the Delphic oracle -0f the newsprint. He was glad his intellectual, physical and emotional state could be predicted by a pseudo-scien­tific process. In the past he had scoffed at astrology and laughed at tea leaves but soon he believed in biorhythms the way a 17th Century Calvinist believed in predes­tination. Every morning Harvey would check the news­paper to see if he should leave the house or not.

"I ain't going nowhe:re,'' he said whenever a "crit­ical" appeared or the "fowsr. cropped up on his chart. "This biorhythm stuff is not to be fooled with."

Harvey's employers did not share his enthusiasm for prophecy. After Harvery called in sick three times in one week, his boss called to fire him. Harvey did not know he was fired.right away because he refused to get out of bed to answer the phone that day; he was on a tri­ple critical.

"I'm not even going to risk going out of the house or getting out of bed," he said. "You have got to be cra­zy to tempt fate when you are on a triple critical."

A few days later Harvey, now unemployed, was dancing on his porch shortly after the newsboy delivered the paper. This was the day he had been waiting for. Nothing could stop him now. He was on a triple high. "Top pay for hard work," his chart read. "Elevated

mental ability" and "accept challenges." Harvey celebrated his elevated state by jogging

Harvey was jogging along faster than ever before, reading his poetry and feeling emotionally stable, when

Workshop goal: employment by Cindy Pacheco I

Here's your chance to get involved and prepare yourself for future employment (whether you graduate this year or four years from now) by becoming involved in a creative program that works for full employment. Some areas of discussion that will be covered within a three day period are:

• Renewing and reaffirming the control of public decision on policies for full employment;

• How new jobs have been and will be constructed to aid in solving community and environmental problems;

• How solar energy creates jobs, solves future energy problems, and is put down by skeptical govern­ment officials because of cost;

• How our political democracy and personal liber­ation are becoming a thing of the past because of the

control money has on each of our lives. Money is a major factor controlling political persuasion by the elite;

. • How to begin and continue to solve the problems of full employment, co·mmunity and environmental problems, and how to get power and freedom back to the people.

Interested? Sessions are from 12 noon to l p.m. September 17, 19 & 21 (M-W-F) in meeting room no. 2 at the St. Francis Interfaith Center on campus. Roger Kahn, Director of the Colorado Coalition for Full Employment, and other meinbers of the staff and board of the Coalition will be discussing these issues and an­swering questions. They will be open for new ideas, so if you can't make all three sessions, make at least one and get to know the people who are concerned about your future and your child's; not about the monetary or poli­tical power of the elite.

Snoopy re.pl·aCed by Kliban / by Sal Ruibal I -

Societies have always been judged by the symbols they keep. After considering the symbols evident on campus this semester, I shudder to think of the stern judgement history will envitably make on the late Seven-ties. I offer the foll9wing examples: .

The Kliban Cat - "Snoopy is dead! Long live the Cat!" The long and tortuous reign of Snoopy had ended more than two years ago, ~but' no suitable successor could be found. For more than a decade, the infamous beagle had dominated the real w•d of American Art: T-shirts, coffee mugs, casual stationery, and bathroom fixtures.

Snoopy is also credited with making a quantum leap into the junk-food field. A tough act to follow for any symbol.

There had been pretenders to the throne. The death of Elvis spawned a brief renaissance in the manufacture of black velvet paintings, but the idea never really got rolling outside of Cuidad Truijillo.

Stqr Wars got the cash registers salivating ~< a ~

while, but the furor died before the R2D2 wallpaper was even dry.

The Kliban Cat utilizes the graphic simplicity of Snoopy, but adds a strong dose of modern urban neu­rotic thought.

The Cat is not restricted to a single physical form, but maintains a single personality.

The Cat is also fond of mice. An important cultural shift has been brought about by the Kliban Cat. Public sympathies have always been on the side of the mouse in the classic cat-mouse conflict.

·The Platte's "green and clean" I'

Clockwise-above: bridges float away in event of flooding; electrical generating plant dams water, but provides water slide (left) for boaters; catching fish keeps neighborhood kids busy; skaters have ten miles to go; Confluence Park is a haven for rafters and tubers; Bronco Bridge; nice place for a tan.

by Lou Chapman

Denver's most unique, largest, but probably least known park is open for ac­tivity.

The Greenway, 400 acres of park land along ten miles of the Platte River through Denver, was finally linked together this summer to provide oppor­tunities for biking and strolling, boating, kayaking, and canoeing, picnicking, and relaxing.

The project consists of 15 neigh­borhood and city-wide parks from Evans to 54th Avenue. This development of open space along the Platte is a response to the deterioration of the Platte, which had become a dumping ground for Den­ver's wastes; its banks were crowded with junk yards, dilapidated buildings, utility lines, freeways and railroads.

The improvements include numerous riverfront parks, playgrounds, outdoor gathering spots, boating facilities, and nature exhibits, all linked by a concrete hike/bike trail and boating g course extending from city limit to city a;i limit. The river itself has been cleaned ~ and is continuously monitored by the c5 Greenway Foundation in cooperation Qi with the.Environmental Protection Agen- £ cy and local health agencies. The cost of a; the program to date has been about $10 million. - Fund, and the Local Public Works Em-

Funds for the park first came from ployment Act; and over $1,000,000 was the City, which provided $2 million for donated by private firms! including the the Platte River Develooment Committee Gates, Boettcher and Fishback foun­(organized in June 1974 by Mayor Bill dations, Pepsi Cola, First National Bank McNichols and chaired by then-Senator of Denver, and Columbia Savings. Joe Shoemaker). This money financed Work on the park system involved three pilot projects, including Confluence burying tons of rubble along the river Park, where Cherry Creek joins the Plat- banks, relocating trails and reshaping te River near 15th Street (by Forney's waterways, relocating a State highway Museum). Confluence Park includes a maintenance yard, removing junk cars riverfront plaza, natural grass amphithe- piled s~ stories ~gh, and landscaping on ater, and the nation's first man-made, a massive and varied scale. urban whitewater run. The work included assistance from:

provides a put-in point for five miles of continuous boating along the Platte, and also features a mini-rest stop with a drinking fountain.

• Wier Gulch Park, just south of 8th Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, includes a

• a"'"':~~~~'li'llll

naturally landscaped park area with play structures, and an architectural concrete passage (under the railroad tracks bor­dering the river) which also serves as a boatway. This park is the location of one of several murals which have been pain­ted on wall space along the Platte provided by local industries.

• Zuni Water Chute, $Outh of Colfax, is a darn erected by Public Service Company to impound cooling water necessary for generating electricity: However, it is made of an inflatable fabric tube which rises and falls with the . flow of the river and has attached to it a chute which acts like a giant water-slide to carry boaters downstream into a series of pools and then on down the river. Novices and tubers can portage around the chute from a boat landing at 13th Avenue.

• Centennial Park, on the west bank of the river south of Speer Boulevard, was once one of the city's worst eye­sores: a car-shredding operation. Now, the junk operation has been relocated and the six-acre plot is available from the C&S Railroad. Eventually, the:ipark will offer recreational facilities such as slow­pitch baseball, tennis, and a cycling and biking trail along the east bank extending from Confluence Park to the Bronco Bridge~ creating a 2-rnile loop ideal for downtown noontime joggers.

• Confluence Park, the original rendevous point for Denver's settlers (where the Platte meets Cherry Creek un­der the 15th Street viaduct) is the most at­tractive of the points directly on the river banks, and is easily accessible if one knows the layout of streets in the area of Forney Museum. Confluence Park offers facilities for picnicking, has a bpat put-in point, and connects with trails along Cherry Creek. ·

Other innovative features of the Greenway include pe~estrian bridges

0 manufactured from glu-laminated ffi Douglas Fir and designed to float away ' from their center piers in the event of ~ flooding; use of indigenous landscaping '2 for both educational and practical pur- ~ poses; a drip irrigation system, at the 6th ~ Avenue Park, which consists of small en tubes which carry water one drop at a time directly to the roots of the trees; plans to interconnect tributaries of the Platte such as Weir Gulch and Lakewood Gulch to create a continuous loop of park area from the core of the city to its outlying areas and then around the city. '

When completed, the Greenway will off er a 100-mile regional network of· commuter and recreational trails to the area's activity and employment centers, with the main artery traversing the heart of Denver.

Denver offers more than late:..night disco

by Gary Myers

It was horrible! My favorite disco burnt down. I found out (oh horrors!) that my official John Travolta crotch patch was not really official at all. My groin operations from all that dancing has me walking like Gerald Ford.

Talk about dues! I mean, after wagging the ole fanny, what else is there?

tears with hit songs like "Doo-ooh ~ do yeahbaby doo-ooh be ya yah"? Isn't it nice to know you can still get drunk to golden oldies! And I do mean oldies! Bach is still around, and Beethoven.

The place to find them is My Brother's Bar at 2376 15th St. You can pick from a varied musical menu of classical greats. You can pick from a food menu that would make a cowboy drool. (Nothing like chiliburgers and the 5th Symphony!) _

Well, there are a few alternatives to disco for a pleasant enough evening. Cafe Nepenthes, at 1416 Market St., is one of the last holdouts of the Bohemia Republic. It is the last place in the world you can still snap your fingers and be cool. Or you can be cool by drinking iced hibiscus, or other goodies. Charge up with espresso coffee and chase trains in the nearby yards. You can eat organic here; ask the waitress with the bean sprouts in her ear.

You are likely to see almost anything entertainment-wise at Nepenthes. Many excellent musicians with a range in forms from beatnik to classical chamber music play for tips and the fun.

In Through The Out Door is excellent music, but it sets no e~ples or starts any trends. With albums like this - no matter how excellent - the group will progress within only its own world, and the mainstream emphasis or rock will turn elsewhere.

The point is simple - for an in­dication of the future of rock music, the way may be pointed by The Knack, Van Halen, The Cars, Talking Heads, or some other group now surfacing on the rock

scene. The second album by The Knack · may tell us more about where rock music is headed than Led Zeppelin's eighth original work.

But, for now, Led Zeppelin is still the number one rock group, and In Through The Out Door is the number one album. The 1980s will show whether both will be the way of the future, or yet another twilight of the gods· in rock and roll.

Bob Meier scored the lone goal for Metro as the team played an even game against IUSD throughout the first half but were. overrun in the second period. Due to the injuries to the starters, Coach Harry Temmer fielded several freshmen against the San Diego side, consisting largely of foreign students. Thus the freshmen were able to experience play against high-level competition, ·something which should prove beneficial in the future.
