Parking lots at capacity

With the beginning of the fall semester, parking pro­blems are once again painful­ly evident on campus. Lots filled to capacity, sporadic · traffic snarls, and overflo)V into the Westside neighborhood are just three of the problems facing the AHEC parking office this week.

"Weve got 5,000 parking spaces available for an an­ticipated 35,000 students, faculty and staff," said Auraria's parking director, Raul Gomez. "Of course, everybody isn't going to be here at once. But if even half of the campus population is here at one time we are faced with three and a half people for every available parking space.

The first two weeks of each semester are the heaviest, Gomez said, with every lot on campus filling to capacity during peak rushes.

"At 10:00 Monday morning we had filled every space in every lot on campus," he said. "Spaces didn't start to open up again until after noon."

Even when spaces start to open up, preferred lots may continue to stay full throughout the day, said Gomez. "That's why we place attendants in the lots for the first two weeks," he said. "They can direct traffic to where there are vacancies."

"After the first two weeks, something happens. People make arrangements for car­pooling, they get familiar with bus schedules, I don't know what. But after the in­itial rush there are always

. spaces available, especially in the outlying lots."

Along with full parking · lots, traffic congestion is a

continuing problem. To help alleviate the problem, Gomez said they "flip-flopped" the price of two lots, raising the price on "the lot most responsi­ble for the traffic problems at 8th and Curtis, while lower­ing the rate at a less strategically placed lot down the road.

In addition to the problems f~ by students trying to park, residents in the Westside neighborhood are once again being inconve­nienced by students and faculty who have discovered

Film series Has setback

With great hopes for the future, the newly­reorganized MSC Student Ac­tivities Office is battling with the uncertainties of new peo­ple and new positions, and running headlong into Auraria's notorious problems with communication.

Six new positions were created this summer to be fill­ed by MSC students, in the hope of providing greater stu­dent input into the use of the student fee monies allocated to Student Activities.

The new positions divided the office into distinct areas, with a film series manager, a lecture series manager, a special events co-ordinator, a public relations manager, and a club and organization co­ordinator. Currently, the.five student co-ordinators answer t6 a student assistant director, who, in turn, answers to the Director of Student Activities, a profes.sional position.

Problems developed early on, as the responsibilities of each co-ordinator began to overlap. The first program to suffer was the film series, whose dates have had to be reshuffled because of a snafu in making room reservations.

"Three of us ended up mak­ing room reservations for the films." admits film co­ordinator Mark Eikerman. "We overlapped on dates and times, and there were a number of conflicts,'' he said.

As a result, acting Director of Student Activities Peggy Raab has had to sit down and piece together a series of dates for the films with Student Center Facilities Co­ordinator Barbara Weiske. Some of the dates now set for the films differ from the movie schedule published in The Metropolitan.

In addition to the film series, the MSC Lecture Series has had problems related to the re-organization, said Raab. "I think that (lecture series co-ordinator) Jackie Weigand has had some pro­blems figuring out how much responsibility is hers, and how much belongs to Student Affairs. In addition, there have been some problems negotiating contracts with speakers," said Raab. But despite the uncertainties, the

Lecture Series appears to be on solid ground, with an am­bitious line-up of speakers culled from a poll of MSC faculty.

The biggest problem to face the new co-ordinators so far has been space, or the lack thereof. "We have six new of­ficers to share one telephone and one desk," said Raab. "Jackie carries her office around in a big black brief­case."

But despite the problems, the co-ordinators have great expectations for the coming year.

"It's going to take a little while for all of us to get the hang of it," said AMistant Director Mike Maggard. "We're finding out what the channels are. We're asking ourselves 'where do I go, who

Parking troubles continued from p~ge I faculty who have discovered "free" parking in front of their homes.

"Residents have complain­ed for years that they can't even leave to go shopping for fear of having their parking place taken when they return," Gomez said. In the interest of community rela­tions, the parking office has distributed posters alerting people at Auraria to the plight of the folks in the Westside area.

In the meantime, solutions to campus parking problems are not as simple as building more lots. "The land that is available around this campus doesn't amount to a drop in the bucket," said Gomez.

The most promising solu­tion, that of running a "people-mover" from Mile High Stadium to the campus, is being studied jointly by AHEC and RTD. If the results of the study are positive, says AHEC Com­munity Relations Co­ordinator Larry Ambrose, a rail-type system could be moving thousands of students and downtown commuters by

"All thin~ considered, I think we're doing a damn good job," said Maggard. "We're trying to work together as a team. We all get along well, and that's what I like to see in this office."

"It would have been helpful to have more planned before school started," said Raab, "So much is still in the planning stage. When all of that is settled, hopefully we'll have a more well-rounded program than in past years. Last year, there were basical­ly two people in Student Ac­tivities, and it was just too much. Now we have one per­son to concentrate in each area. And because they are all students, we have a way of finding out what students want." 0

1985. Until then, the parking situation will continue ' to deteriorate, ascerbated by the loss of a considerable amount of parking space to new con­struction.

"This time next year we'll lose 616 parking spaces to the Tivoli," said Gomez. "In ad­dition to that, we stand to lose 425 additional spaces if plans for the East Classrooms replacement building were to come through."

And still more precious space could be lost if plans to build a Center for Public Policy on campus ever get off the drawing board.

In the meantime, the solu­tion to the parking problems is in the hands of the students, faculty, and staff themselves, said Gomez.

"What we're trying to do is push people to consider alter­natives to getting in their cars and driving down here by themselves. That's why we created the position .of Vanpool-Carpool Co­ordinator, and so far Paula (Sakofs) has done a terrific job. People should consider taking a bike, taking the bus, whatever they can do." 0

Though Shakespeare was speaking of liberty, this quote may well be the creed of a reformed alcoholic, or poten­tial bywords of Alcoholics Anonymous. The "nature" of alcoholism was the subject of a lecture given on campus this weekend by Dr. James Milam, an authority on alcoholism, and a clinical psychologist.

In his book, co-authored with Katherine Ketcham, "Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of .Alcoholism," he outlines his theory of the .misconceptions a majority of non-alcoholics and society might hold:

MYTH: Alcohol is an addic­tive drug, and any­one drinks long and hard enough will become addicted.

The word "alcoholic," to some people, might conjure up images of a drunk in the gutter, an irresponsible and weak individual who hasn't the strength of character or willpower necessary to pull himself up onto the sidewalk.

from myths and Cliches The crux of Milam's concern over the attitude toward

alcoholism is this idea of it being a "disease." The nature of • becoming an alcoholic is already inherent in several ways in its

potential victim. Alcohol would then be a mere catalyst, the virus or germ that triggers the onset to the illness. An alcoholic.is· predisposed to its onslaught prior to ever taking a gulp. Some of the factors Milam mentioned in his lecture and book are somewhat surprising: Heredity, ethnic susceptibility, abnormal metabolism, preference, and prenatal influences. These criteria, or a combination, may determine an individual's bent toward alcoholism.

herited traits of the alcoholic, it would appear that an alcoholic's future may lie in a liver cell malfunction, creating an abnormal metabolism. ThiS is a body reaction to alcohol, awaiting the first drink. ·

Preference is an individual choice to the taste and effect of alcohol. This "initial liking or disliking" constitutes further action on the part of the alcoholic. There are those who do not enjoy the euphoric feeling alcohol provides, and some can't stand the taste. And there are those who love it. Loving it, however, does not necessarily mean addiction. Not being able to give up the affair for other love, nor money, may.

Ethnic susceptibility to alcohol has also been evidenced by studies. Physical factors in some groups will regard their reaction to alcohol differently. There are rates of susceptibility for certain ethnic groups: low, medium, or high. Time is also a factor here. The time a group has been exposed to alcohol may determine their susceptibility rate.

Milam poses the question: "Does the alcoholic drink too much because his body is somehow abnormal, or does his body become abnormal because he drinks too much?" Coupled with the in-

alcoholic may not be willing to admit the obvious. Coercion into treatment is usually necessary, but Milam says to keep in mind that the alcoholic is "a sick person, not a bad person." Above all, he or she needs help.

Alcoholism is a devastating and deadly disease. It is indeed "a thirsty evil." But if what Dr. Milam says is true, the "evil" lies dormant, awaiting the first touch of a beer glass. Those with the potential for becoming alcoholic, and certainly those that have, may do well to heed the latter half of Shakespeare's phrase: "and when we drink, we die." 0

Too mUch information causes disorientation r ~ - , •

Have you looked around at the world you live in recently? It's really weird out there. All kinds of crazy things are going on. It's hard not to notice, but that doesn't stop us from trying. ,

In fact, lots of people have stopped watching the news and reading the newspapers altogether. It's a deliberate decision they make, and they do it because the mental wash of information causes them not only mental, but physical problems.

Time after time, I've heard people confess to a sensation close to vertigo as a result of consuming tob much information. The feeling, a persistent nausea and dizziness, is not substantially different from the symptoms of consuming too many corn dogs, or, in extreme cases, too much Jose Cuervo.

For lack of a better name, I'll call it media burnout. Someone has probably already called it that, so I'll take no credit. . Media burnout is similar to what happens when you drive a car very fast for a long distance. It's like having epoxy number one squeezed into the left ear and epoxy number two squeezed into the right. A rock-hard blob spreads out from the center, until the brain petrifies into a substance as impermeable and stupid as obsidian.

The reason for this phenomenon is simple: people were designed to take in in­formation only as fast as. they are able t.o run. Anything over and above about 15 miles an hour is a stress on the senses. The brain reaches its critical mass, then melts down.

In a similar way, news tends to accumulate in great fermenting heaps unless 1

we are given the time to slowly digest it. It is disorienting, to say the least, to be whisked from Tripoli to San Salvador to a Kentucky mine shaft to a Wyoming

mi_ssile silo to Saturn in the space of a few minutes. All of that would be bearable if it were simply information provided as a

matter of public interest. Unfortunately, the implication written into the by­laws of our constitution is that, by the very nature of democracy, each of us is held personally responsible for knowing all that stuff.

Now, nobody can absorb that mushy crap in a single sitting, let alone retain it. And when a person feels overwhelmed by his responsibilities, the natural reaction is to turn on the automatic pilot and take a nap. At that point, respon­sibility for the fate of the earth is in the hands of dumb luck.

But the bottom line is that dumb luck just isn~t going to cut it anymore. Unless we all start taking some kind of responsibility for the future the experi­ment called "democracy is going to fall flat, and the experiment called civiliza­tion might tumble down right behind it.

So, what the hell do we do, since we have to know what's going on, and yet are biologically ill-equipped to do so? .

The answer, which is beginning to loom evident in every discipline of the arts and sciences, is that we have to learn to synthesjze information very quickly. New facts have to be_placed in the context of a broad, overall impression of what's going on, rather than being stored in their own little cubbyhole inside · our heads. .

Words gaining currency in the language, such !lS paradigm, Gestalt, wholism, futurism, .thinktank, megatrends, and others are all significators of the direction that the thing we call reason is going. Things used to be things, items that 90uld be studied all by themselves. Not anymore. Now, experts speak of biological communities, . physical relationships, and cultural demographics.

Auraria welcomes first fraternity. I am writing on behalf of a group of mep on this campus who many perhaps

have not heard of yet. We are Delta Sigma Phi, Auraria's first social fraternity. 1 There has been a lot of bad press about fraternities in the past, .and we'd like to clear some things up so that folks don't get the wrong impression of us.

Delta Sigma Phi is a national organization consisting of over 90 chapters and over 20 colonies. It has been in existence since 1899, where it was started at the College of the City of New York. Since then it has grown to include over 70,000 alumni in every state, every Canadian province and over 50 countries around the world. So you can see that this is no rinky dink, fly by night operation we've got here.

Members from all three schools are eligible to join, thus removing the fear that we are biased to one institution over another. Unlike professional organizations (Psi ~hi, etc.) we welcome men from all studies. We feel that this diversity adds to our overall chapter strength, while it intensifies the learning possibilities. Right now we've got men studying everything from pre-med to engineering, from finance to journalism . .

Our fraternity is totally self-sufficient. We use no school money for our ac­tivities on or off campus. All of our events are funded by the dues which Delta Sigs must pay. Our fratern1ty does a lot of charity work, too. Our cause is the March of Dimes, but we help other groups as well. Last April some of the guys, led by our President, Tony Patino, donated time to work security at the Loretto Heights Bluegrass Festival. In addition they passed the hat and collected over $75 in an hour and a half. The proceeds from that event went to the Leukemia Society.

Just as universities and colleges have academic requirements so do we. Members must maintain a m.inimum GPA of 2.25 in order to remain in good standing with the fraternity. That is not to say that a man could not pledge Delta Sigma Phi with a lower GPA, but in time he's got to make an effort to

raise his grades. Right now our group has an aggregate GPA of 3.2. That's one of the highest of all the Delta Sigs in the nation.

We're also working on a plan to recruit a group of faculty advisers. If a brother needs a helping hand that can't come from within, then he'll have an alternative source to turn to. These advisers aren't meant to be tutors, rather

' they are a place to turn when a student runs up against the brick wall that we all hit at one time or anot~er. This program is proving to be most promising.

Hazing. The ritual of "Thank you sir, may I have another" that was made famous in Animal House is out. More and more fraternities are banning hazing these days. Delta Sigma Phi has banned it since the 1920's. In our manual it states: " ... no practices which endanger the health of the initiate can be tolerated .. . none-of the activities ... may have any element of physical danger ... "

Since the idea of a fraternity came about last spring we've been working hard to bring it to fruition. We had meetings to elect officers, meetings with national officials, meetings to form committees, meetings to pledge folks, and, when summer rolled around (the time when most fraternities become dormant), we had six more meetings. We met for rush parties, we met with the deans or their representatives to form a governing council, and on and on. It's something we believe in and are willing to work for. Fraternities are a college tradition and we think that with as many people as Auraria has, this campus is ready to join that tradition enjoyed by other major city and state ~nstitutions around the country.

. ;

Welcome back fellow students, ' I sincerely hope that your summer vacation was filled with fun and relaxa­

tion. At this time I would like to review last year and tell you some about the plans we have for this year.

You'll be pleased to know thaf after long negotiations, Student Activities has been broadened to involve six students. In the past we had little student input into the types of activities held on campus for us to enjoy. I would like to con­gradulate Joy Goldbaum, Special :E:vents Manager, Terry Sprague, Publicity Manager, Carol "Jake" Jacobs, Club and Organization Manager; Jackie Weigard, Public Forum Manager, Mark Erkerman, Movie Manager, and Mike Maggard, Assistant Director of Student Activities. I would also like to thank Geneva Johnson and Yolanda Ortega for their time and effort spent in the negotiations to accomplish the goal of greater student control over student ac­tivities.

You'll be pleased to know that after the reorganization of the Student Sup­port, the office is now operating in the black for the first time, and helping more students than ever. Steven Sheperd and Sandy Kirkpatrick look forward to another semester of serving your needs. I would also like to thank them for all the hard work they have done.

I hope that you are pleased with the new Metropolitan, and I would like to wish them a very good year. The Board of Publications has great plans to serve your needs as students through the Student Handbook as well as other publica­tions. I would like to thank Joe Deleo for all the time he has put in as our stu-dent government rep on the board. ·

This past spring I attended the Trustees Meeting in Grand Junction. I was there to speak in support of the forming of a chapter of the Colorado Public In­terest Research Group for the students at Metro. The issue was heard as a discussion item and the Trustees will vote on the matter at their meeting in September.

Brendan M. Kelly has been elected to represent all the students at the Auraria Campus on the Auratia Board of Directors. This is a first for any Metro student and we are proud that he is from our school. I hope that you will confact him on any matter dealing with AHEC you might have.

Thts year looks to be an exciting and challenging one. Several positions are open for appointment in student government and I am encouraging students to get involved with the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College. Some of the committees that are available are, the Judicial Board, Legal Services, the Election Commission, Campus Recreation, Parking, Public Safety, and the Joint Board of Academic Standards. We also have a position open on our Cur­riculum Committee, and on the Student Affairs Committee. We always need more students to help. For more information contact us at 629-3253, or come by room 340C in the Student Center.

Let me reassure you that your Student Government is working hard to pro­vide you a say in the operation of this campus.

Respectfully, Michael Johnson, President

QO Don't take the ! First Amendment for granted!

-•

-by -Lisa Dell'Amore

In the beginning of television, American viewers were in­troduced to such zany characters as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz through tiny, black and white video screens. _

Television was harmless, and a mindless entertainment. It was not very enlightening.

The evolution of television has been a slow and painful process, but toqay, television as entertainment has evolved into television as education. ·

In addition to general interest programs like NOVA and COSMOS, television is increasingly becoming an extension of traditional higher education. .

The word "university" is no longer confip.ed to ceilings, walls, classrooms and desks. Instructors, unlike doctors, are now malc­ing house calls via television. The little black box in your living room is now offering quality education in the convenience of your own home.

Telecourses are on the upswin$. As college -credlt courses, they · are broadcast for beginning or continuing students who, because · of schedule conflicts, home responsibilities or lack of trans~rta­tion to a college campus, have not been able to pursue their col-lege educations. . .

"Telecourses don't provide 120 hours of graduate credit m brain surgery for a student," s!Jid Dan Flenniken, coordinator ?f adult education at Channel 6 which airs the telecourses m Denver, "but they

T H E M E T R 0 P 0 L I T A N Augmt 31, 1983

do provide a good introductory experience for many students in a way to get back into higher education if they choose." ·

This fall, telecourses will be offered for the third year through some 250 national pµblic television stations, Flenniken said. Since the inception of 1 telecourses two years ago, 600 colleges nationally have participated in the program including MSC . and Denver Auraria Community College (DACC). UCD will offer a telecourse for the first time this fall on the history of the Vietnam war.

Each college modifies the telecourses to fit its own departmental standards. Courses are offered at dif­ferent credit levels in the areas of business, educa­tion, English, history, philosophy and political science. Students are urged to meet with the in­structor before the first telecast to discuss the re­quirements of the course.

. I .

I Vi/~/( .. ,,. . I . I

According to Flenniken, a telecourse lecture is broadcast twice a week. Students are required to watch two lessons a week, usually shown back-to­back in two 30-minute segments. !f students miss a lesson, they may view the broadcast at the Auraria Library where tapes are kept of each segment.

It's not as easy as it sounds however. Flenniken explained that the telecourse student needs to be self-directed, self-disciplined and self-reliant;

"A lot of people think that you can watch a telecourse and sort of sit back like you're watching 'The Dukes of Hazzard', he said, "and that's the first notion that's wrong."

He explained that telecourses usually pack a large amount of information into a 30 minute lesson and students that take telecourses experience a different type of learning.

"I think students.that complete a telecourse really feel that they've sort of directed their own learning in a sense," he said.

I i

Priscilla Donovan, program coordinator at UCD, agreed that most of the students registered for the university's first telecourses are women . .

Based on his station's survey, Flenniken explained that the average telecourse student is female, 34, with "a couple of kids at home" who can't get down to campus either because of work, home or transportation problems.

But why are so many more women than men taking telecourses?

"These are women who would really like to fur­ther their careers, and they are finding it conve­nient to take telecourses," said Flenniken.

Denver's telecourses are usually aired Saturday mornings, although this fall, Channel 6 will broad­cast its first telecourse during prime time. The course, titled Vietnam: A 1:elevision History, will be shown Tuesday evenings at 9 p.m.

Students interested in learning more about telecourses may contact the Learning Services Department at Channel 6 (892-6666) or the pro­gram director at their school. . D

, !I .d., Ir ' And wh~ takes the telecourses? Directors at each school at Auraria and Flenniken

all gave the same answer: telecourse students are predominantly women.

"I'd ~ay our split was 60 percent female and-40 percent male," said John Monnett, associate d~r~­tor of continuing education at DACC. DACC, m its third year of offering telecourses, leads the state in telecourse enrollment with an average of 300 students per semester.

Gwen Thornton, director of MSC's extended campus credit program, said that 64 percent of MSC's female students take courses off campus.

"When I started in this program, it was 60 per­cent men and 40 percent women," sh.e said. "Now the figures have just reversed themselves."

And students seem to like telecourses despite the extra responsibility to self-motivate. In fact, Flen­niken reported that a Channel 6 survey revealed 40 percent of the students said they would either take another telecourse or go on to take other classes on campus.

CoPIRG watchdogs:calling for sttrdent action

to keep *the system'honest

{

The intersection of East Colfax Avenue and YorkStreet sits smack in the middle of one of thoseneighborhoods that Denverites call "diverse," Pro-minent environmental groups share a storefrontwith the nefarious New Yorker bar. Intrepid joggersdodge shattered Nighttrain bottles and the after-dark life expectancy of an in-dash tape deck in aparked car is about six minutes.

What better place for a young, idealistic publicinterest group to set up shop than in this con-glomeration of 60's flashback and 80's flameout?

The new kid in town is the Colorado Public In-terest Research Group (CoPIRG), a student run,student funded group with chapters at CSU in FortCollirs and UNC in Greeley. If all goes according tothe plan, the newest CoPIRG chapter will be atMSC this fall.

CoPIRG is one of a number of campus "PIRGs"that have sprouted up across the country in the lastdecade. They are bound together only by commongoals, each group mairtaining its autonomy.

CoPIRG's student volunteers tackle issues rangingfrom consumer protection and environmentalism tostudent rights. Its main goal is to $ve studentshands-on experience in dealing with the "system"from within, by use of lobbying, research, litigationand through various consumer publications.

Tom Wathen runs the state CoPIRG office at1520 York St. The manicured lawn and smart por-tico give way inside to a stark, businesslike disarray

- metal folding chairs, gray institutional desla andrandom stacks of CoPIRG literature andmagazines. Wathen s cubbyhole office is punc-tuated with CoPIRG wall posters. More literatureand a telephone sit on the floor in front of the desk.

Wathen is an alumnus of Indiana and New YorkPIRGs. He's enthusiastic about the issues andsincere about the student volunteers who make upCoPIRG.

"I've heard people say about PIRC chapters thatall these peopl- are just left-overs from the 60's but Ithink we have a different approach," he says, "morein response to problems that can't be dedt with in acouple of years of popular unrest."

The PIRG idea first surfaced on an Oregon cam-ous in the earlv 70's when the Vietnam War andbi"il nightr were still sparking student demonstra-tions. A group of students working with RalphNader organized the first chapter incorporatingNader's idea that research, Iitigation and lobbyingwere more effective than street protests. Aside frombeins the inspiration behind the idea' Nader has noformil ties to any of the chapters.

The groups which make up CoPIRG - CSU'LJNC and until recently CU - have had some suc-cess lobbying the stati legislature this year-- Theywon some points on a hazatdous waste bill withsome amendments giving the State Board of Healthrnore control of waste site inspections.

CoPIRG has also set up a team of graduatestudents to study water policy in the state and ispushing fbr consumer representation before thePublic Utilities Commission in utility rate hikehearinss.

A te-nant housing bill which had languished incommittee for sevCn years finally made it to thefloor of the Colorado House thanks to CoPIRC's ef-forts. It lailed to pass by one vote.

"This may seem like a defeat," Wathen explains,"but given the fact that everyone told us to forget it

when we went in, it showed how effective we can be."

CoPIRG has not racked up a string of major vic­tories in the last year but it .has managed to become a force to be reckoned with in citizen's groups and the legislature. Wathen thinks that what CoPIRG did best last year was to foster a more positive and optimistic attitude among these groups, proving they can be responsive to citizen's interest.

CoPIRG fought its own battle as well in the legislature last spring when a bill was introduced into the Colorado House that would have required student permission to use student fees to fund CoPIRG. The bill was defeated but various PIRGs across the country have had similar problems over the years.

Last spring, CoPIRG lost the CU chapter in what Wathen calls a "political move by the Board of Regents to silence the students." CU is the only ma­jor Colorado campus to lose a PIRG an~ Wathen sees it as a setback. He remains optimistic, however, about the prospects of an MSC chapter.

A referendum in the spring campus election pass­ed with a four-to-one margin in favor of CoPIRG. It's now up to the Board of Trustees to give the final okay.

"My own feeling is that the administration at MSC is more forward-looking than that of CU," Wathen says. The Board has promised a decision by Sept. 15.

though direction and choice of issues are directed by these groups, the real PIRC mainstay seems to be the student volunteer. ·

Volunteers do everything from tacking up posters to lobbying legislators.

Right now most of CoPIRC's volunteers are in­their early 20's. Shaun Cothwaite, 24, is an MSC biology ed major who has been with CoPIRP since the beginning of the referendum drive last spring.

"I like the idea that it's student run and funded yet it's outside of the student governement," she says. "I think Col>IRG can have a big impact on a lot of issues."

Gothwaite hopes to be able to do research in her field and get more involved in community issues through CoPIRG.

"There are a lot of better things to come," she says. "It's been a good experience working within the ' system and getting involved in the democratic process."

Mark Bussinger, 23, went to work as a volunteer this summer. An MSC psychology major, he was looking for an organization that was trying to con­structively change. the system. For him, CoPIRG is that organization.

"The system doesn't work for the average person these days," he says. "CoPIRC is trying to help the little guy. I see it as a dual purpose organization -working for s6cial change and a good training ground for students."

Gothwaite and Bussinger are both currently in-What makes CoPIRG different from all the other special interest groups lobbying for changes these days? Wathen says the fact that it's student run is the main difference, an important one from the~u­dent perspective. CoPIRG is also geared to Col­orado rather than being involved with national issues.

Tom Wathen gives USC student Mike Straight some lessons in lobbying.

. volved in the lobbbying process to get Board ap­proval for the chapter. If _that approval is given, Wathen and his staff of volunteers will start trying fo recruit membership on campus. What may

· possibly be an uphill battle doesn't seem to in-timidate them. ·

"CoPIRG has an approach that's very pragmatic," he says. "We're trying to make the system more accountable and more participatory. We try to avoid labels."

"If you're an educator and you think it is impor­tant for students to take an active concern in social problems," he points out, "then you almost have to look at CoPIRG as an affirmative action program."

"We may have to work.harder and put in more time to get something going," Wathen admits. "It's simply a matter of putting in that time. A school like Metro may need CoPIRG more tharr other

· schools. Students live with these issues, they are ·directly affected. No one can argue that if you go to Metro you're sheltered in an ivory tower."

Recruiting volunteers at MSC may present a few problems unique to its "commuter campus" identi­ty. Many students work full-time and spend less time on campus than at other colleges. The student · apathy evident in such things as <:ampus elections may also slow down recruitment but CoPIRG hopes to be up to the challenge of cutting across that at­titude.

The group hopes to be able to send volunteers in­to the classroom to give presentations and in order to do that they will have to have faculty support.

Wathen sees no problem attracting MSC' s older student population to CoPIRG. In fact, he thinks they will be easier to enlist than younger students who had no experience woi:king '-".'ithin the system. He thinks older students who came of age during the turbulent 60's and less turbulen.t 70's may be somewhat jaded by their experiences but "at least at some point they have thought about changing things."

CoPIBG's goal of student activism within the system to foster change may or may not go over at MSC but enthusiasm seems to be running high on York Street. Wathen shrugs off accusations of starry-eyed idealism with a smile.

"CoPIRG does foster idealism about things," he says, "but the opposite of idealism isn't realism -it's resignation and that's what we are trying to fight against." 0 - Wathen is counting on that support.

Each PIBG campus elects its own board of direc­tors in a general election. State boards are elected by the local boards. All members are students and

Conservatives W"age war on PIRGs (CPS)--In a move that may auger a new kind of assault on campus Public In­terest Groups (PIRGs) nationwide~ a group of conservative students have tried to infiltrate and change the policies of the statewide Minnesota PIRG board.

Though tfie conservatives failed in their summer attempt, they have already succeeded in gaining control over the smaller Twin Cities PIRG chapter.

Both the national College Republicans and the local conservative insurgents deny any attempt to destroy PIRCs or any coordinated efforts in Minnesota.

But PIRCS - the national network of some 160 campus-based consumer ad­vocacy groups founded by Ralph Nader in the early seventies - have long been targets of some conservative groups.

The Mid-Atlantic Legal Foundation, a Philadelphia-based conservative ad­vocacy group, has sued the New Jersey PIRG over its method of collecting stu­dent fees.

Last spring, the College Republicans, which is largely funded by •the · Republican National Committee, issued a lengthy memo calling on its campus chapters to mount local challenges to the PIRC's funding methods, according to syndicated columnists Maxwell Glena and Cody Shearer.

At about the same time, 13 conservative University of Minnesota students managed to gain control of the Twin Cities chapter. Chapter leaders were sur­prised.

"We didn't expect a group of opponents to misrepresent themselves and get· on one of our boards," says John Gastovich, head of Minnesota PIRC (MPIRC).

MPIRC has been among the most active state PIRCs in the country. Its lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the law requiring male financial aid applicants to show proof of selective service registration is now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Gastovich accuses the Twin Cities 13 of being College Republicans' puppets

out to end that kind of advocacy. But Richard Clem, co-chairman of the Twin Cities PIRC and one of the 13

conservatives, denies it. "Two of our members are College Republicans," he concedes, "but I'm cer­

tainly not. And I'm not out to destroy PIRCs. I want to see us all work together on such things as environmental issues, but I simply disagree with tbe way the group is funded and with some of their positions."

In last spring's "Project Inform" memo to mobilize campus conservatives against PIRGs, College Republicans Chairman Jack Abramoff supposedly call­ed for "stacking'' PIRG meetings to disrupt the groups and so "it doesn't look like an attack on the left by the right."

Abramoff now says the College Republicans had notbing to do with the Twin Cities takeover. "We're not behind what's happened in Minnesota," he says.

"We're against student fees automatically going to support PIRGs because they're clearly political, not educational groups as they claim," he points out.

Soon after gaining control over the Twin Cities chapter, the conservatives asked the University of Minnesota regents to change the PIRGs funding system from a "negative checkoff' system to a "positive checkoff' system.

Under the existing "negative checkoff' system, a portion of every student's fee goes to the PIRC unless.the student specifically asks that it be withheld. On most campuses, PIRGs are the only groups allowed to use "negative checkoff."

The regents rejected the proposal. But the idea so enraged the board members of the state MPIRC that they

ejected the conservatives' ei~t nominees to the state board. · "I don't think they (the conservatives) are exactly interested in carrying on ?

with \raditional MPIRG work;!.!... says University of Minnesota studept and _ MPIRC member Susan Hartigan. "We're not the big happy family we used to ~ be." 0

Talking Heads or Culture Club: Red Rocks rocks

by T.J. Williams

Culture Club will tumble for you on the Rocks on September 11, at 7:30 p.m.

Culture Club is a group on the move, with such hits as Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?, Clock of the Heart, and I'll Tumble for You which have enjoyed simultaneous success on both soul and rock charts. Capturing the ears of those two distinct markets is an unusual achievement that ensures Culture Club of an enviable and seldom-reached place in American music.

"(We aim to be) a bridge between the tremendous separation taht still exists between white rock and black soul," say Boy George, lead vocalist and founder of the group . .George says that the group'l look is an extensio11 of their own personal attitudes and lifestyles.

"(We wear) basically workmen's fabrics with provocative pat­terns." he said. "A very clean, very spiritual, very unsexy look. It is comprised of symbols which represent all the_ peoples that are looked down on." George himself has the most unorthodox look of any in the group. But, he insists, it isn't just a gimmick. "It's not stage wear," he said, "It's the way I live and we take advantage of it without pretense." . Boy George, who was thrown out of school at the tender age of

15, tried everything from fruit packing to window dressing to do­ing make-up for the Royal Shakespeare Company before he made his debut with the rock band Bow Wow Wow.

It was there that his individual talents became apparent, and band members advised him to start his own group.

The result, is something new in the music industry, something called Culture Club.

"You get what you want from Culture Club," he said. "It's not an essay, a novel or political treatise. Here it is. Take it."

Photo and story by Jack Affleck

David Byrne and company, a.k.a. the Talking Heads, Friday night gave the capacity crowd at Red Rocks reason to believe that they are the superband of the 80s.

Without the competition of an intro band to muddle up our senses, the Talking Heads spoke to us in tongues and by the end of the evening we understood, the Heads have found a comfortable voice.

Byrne's high-jolt haunting vocal style coupled with the funky rhythms of bassist Tina Weymouth, and the crisp percussion work of drummer Chris Frantz, gave the audience a casual challenge to remain seated reserved,(thanks anyway Barry). ·

From The beginning the Heads took us on a tour of some of their earlier works including Al Green's "Take Me To The River" and that haunting masterpiece "Water Flowing Under Ground" ... same as it ever was. The Blazing climax came with the pop hit "Burning Down The House", and the rocks were left smoldering.

In contrast with other super groups of the new wave era, the Heads have no intension of raising high any political flags for us to salute, just good funky sounds and quirky lyrics.

What's in store for the band's future? Well hold onto your HBO antennas. Byrne, who gets such a thrill from producing and directing the grou~ rock videos plans to write what he terms a "lengthy musical novel of some s0rt."

Well whatever is in store there is no doubt that they will talk in the silver tongue of rock. D

They were I sight gags (some good) and the like. an instant success both in Canada and the "lower 48." In 1981, · If you don't know anything at all about these two w?nderful Moranis and Thomas released the "Great White North" album, characters risk it anyway. Just remember, keep the faith after which has sold over a million copies to date. the first hill-hour or so. The last two minutes are worth it.

Now they have released their first full-length feature film titled D "Strange Brew, The Adventures of Bob and Doug McKenzie." Unfortunately, a great deal of this strange movie wallows around a floundering plot barely supporting these characters Moranis and Thomas have so successfully created.

The first half-hour and the last two minutes are the funniest parts of this film. Whenever "Strange Brew" focuses on Doug (Thomas) or Bob (Moranis) it really isn't all that bad, eh? But where the movie falters is the terribly disjointed plot about our hoser-heroes going out to get some beer for .dad and somehow stumbling upon a beer-polishing plan at the Elsinore Brewery.

Ok, so this nefarious scheme has been concocted by Brewmeister Smith (Max Von Sydow.)

Smith wants to turn the entire beer-drinking world into catatonic, mindless zombies who play hockey and will be his slaves and will, hey, get this - "rule the world." But, like, Bob and Doug have no minds, eh? So maybe they can stop him. Beau­ty.

I happen to like the humor of the McKenzie brothers because they seem to be so innocent and naive to the chaos happening around them. But the non-existent acting abilities of the suppor­ting cast (V.on Sydow included) and the dysfun9tional plot make this movie a risk to someone that does not know about hoser humor. No beauty to them, eh?

However, I can still recommend this film to victims of "Great

San Caje ..... t ... a .... n .... ' s_........_ __ by Leslie Baca

On the front steps '.of the church that my mother once climbed I stop to find a trace of her. Each stair is crumbling from the shadows of footprints that ascended here on Sundays and funeral nights. I touch the dust left by a once-young bride and find the rhythms of her walk that echo in each step of mine.

Through the double doors of the church that my mother once opened I hear the slight grind of a hinge. It provides passage from my present to her past mysterious years. I search through more fossils of dust left by peeled paint to find the lost wedding day. It hides in scrolled cornices and hollows of moving shadows.

In the vaulted hall of the church where my mother spoke her vows I can smell the burnt prayer candles that mingle with sacrificial frankincense smoke. They are shadows in the still air, untouched by time. Only stray sunrays permeate the colored glass to chase the silent ghosts that still sing in the choir loft.

From the twin towers of the church where my mother was wed I hear the birds' song • before they fly away in a trembling of win~. Church bells thunder the old Aurarian marriage. The bride walks down the aisle towards the church's front steps _where shadows of holy crosses sanction the crossing of shadows.

Our team is going to need a nickname, and I've thought about this carefuRy. A basketball team is a fraternity of sorts, so it's only fair that our team have a fraternity of its own. How about Omega Runna Gunna? Or possibly Delta Alley Oop? Go ahead and pick one, I'll take a·poll later. They're cute, they're catchy and besides they can have neat little t-shirts made for the whole team.

Now .that we know what we'll call them, we have to know where we can see them play. For starters the PERH building will be just peachy; it can hold a couple of hundred fans. But what do we do when the NCAA asks us to host the final four? Certainly we can't expect CBS or ABC to pack into our little gym .

My suggestion is that once our basketball program really soars, MSC or AHEC or the powers on high look into leas­ing the Auditorium Arena from the city. My reasons for doing this are two-fold. First, the city of Denver would be more than willing to lease a building that is empty twice as often as it is full, and at a very good price I would suspect. Secondly, the revenue from increased fan attendance could be used to improve other sports such as track, wrestling, tennis, swimming and soccer.

Now we come to a very im­portant aspect of having a basketball team. We need players. They shouldn't be hard to find, just look in our gym. There are a lot of quali­ty players from Colorado high schools that had their basket­ball scholarships go to Stilts McNulty from Halfcourt High School. There's also the crowd that simply can't pay for Marquette's tuition. No one knows what kind of talent we have here because no one ,·has ever taken the time to look.

Of course, no basketball team is complete without a coach. Maybe we could look into getting Larry Brown from KU, he should be get­ting bored by now. Even bet­ter yet, how about John Wooden of UCLA fame? Help us out please, Mr. Wizard · of Westwood, come out of retirement and bring us a championship. Well, whoever they get, make sure they have the proper creden- · tials. No coach is worth tak­ing without two years ex­perience in the YMCA leagues.

We have a product to .sell here, and the best way to do it is with media coverage. We have to get someone besides myself to do it, I can't carry all l}le weight. Some names off of the top of my head: Harry Carey, the voice of the Chicago Cubs; Hunter S. Thompson and Elise Cagan, wherever she may be. With this line-up we can't miss, believe me. 0

Robin Heid' s Wild life guidebook

by Robin Heid

White water rafting is one of those adventure sports people argue about a lot. It seems that for every fun lover who considers it a potentially dangerous but generally controllable and exciting pastime, there's some wimp politician screaming about the spec­tre of death which hovers at every rapids over poor unsuspecting slobs who entrust their lives to dirtball river guides out to make a buck ... and how the only way to end this clear and present danger, of course, is through ever more strict and irrelevant government regulations.

What there doesn't seem to be much argument about, however, is that rafting is a damn nice way to experience a lot of natural beauty while getting in some exercise away from the city. . Riskwise, white water rafting is a good way to get the old adrenal glands pumping without getting too close to The Edge. Drowning you see, while it is a possibility, is pretty low on the probabili~ chart, as long as you sort of know what you're doing or go with somebody who does.

"The greatest risk is not knowing the river," says Dave Wig­gins, of American Wilderness Adventure in Boulder. "Profes­sional guides will pull over upstream of rapids and scout them for a half hour - even though they run it every day all summer. In­experienced people will usually just go right through." He goes on to explain that many people who try rafting on their own get into additional trouble through improper equipment. "They can't af­ford a $4,000 boat so they try this stuff in something they got for $150 at Cart Brothers, and that doesn't cut it."

Broken bones and other serious injuries are rare, too. In fact, most outfitters report that the few mishaps of this type which do occur usually take place during stops, when peopl!'l jump into shallow water, tumble down a trail, or fall intd a campfire.

Crashing and burning aside, white water rafting can be rewar­ding from several standpoints.

"It's a real rush," declares guide Margot Coudert of Steamboat's Colorado Adventures. "There's also good compa­nionship; the people who are attracted to it are pretty cool."

Many people also find the roar of water and the beauty of the surroundings a perfect way to relax from the pressures of daily life.

"There's a sense of being in the wilderness, away from the crazy world, refreshing your spirit," says Dave Wiggins. "Man against the wilderness is an old cliche but it fits: in the high-tech society we live· in, we need escape and adventure, and rafting offers that."

Normally, the rafting season is about ove! by now, but heavy . spring runoff and frequent rains have made it possible to enjoy the sport into September. Costs range from $25-$60 per person for one-day trips to $50-$75 for multi-day excursions. Prices generally include everything except suntan lotion and film. At least one place even lets you explore on your own; Whitewater Rafting and Rentals will give you a boat and gear for $11 per per­son per day and turn you loose on a gentle section of the Colorado or Roaring Fork River.

Finding white water guides and outfitters is easy; just_ look in the Yellow Pages under "Float Trips.'' Getting a good one is a lit­

.tle more tricky. Generally, companies belonging to the Colorado River Outfitters or Western River Guides associations know what they're doing. Checking with the local Chamber of Commerce or Better Business Bureau can help you avoid serious incom~ents.

If you do end up with a bozo, however, you'll probably live through it anyway - and think how much more interesting your stories will be. . . D

Women's Soccer Hopes to Show Well

. Incoming Women's Soccer Coach Steve Schwartz is look­ing forward to an excellent 1983 season for the. MSC team. Ten returning players, .as well as three outstanding new players, have helped to provide Schwartz wi~ a strong team.

Colorado College, the University of Denver, and Colorado State University are going to be strong competitors this year. With the talent on the MSC team, we have a great chance at showing well in the division.

Steve Schwartz joins the MSC coaching staff after five successful years working with Mike Hartman and the cham­pion under 19 team, "The Banclt'ts."

Women's Volleyball Tryouts

Pat Johnson, the Womens' Volleyball coach at MSC is looking for more volleyball players. "Even though we had a strong year last year, we are in trouble this year if we don't attract some addi­tional experienced players. At present, we do not have enough people to . support both the varsity and junior varsity programs we have set up.''

Team rebuilding after los­ing three seniors is the first order of business for Johnson. "We could be a strong threat in NAIA in the-1983 season, and have a chance for NCAA honors," Coach Johnson said last week.

All in all, the Women's 1983 MSC Volleyball team will combine experience and effort and enthusiasm to be a strong competitor in the 1983 season.

Prospective players should contact Coach Johnson in Room 217 of the PER building, or call 629-3145: Tryouts will be open 3-5:30 every day until September 2.

Exciting Season For Men's Soccer

Harry Temmer, Head Coach, is looking forward to the best quality soccer com­petition ever for the MSC 1983 men's team. With eleven out-of-town games schedul­ed, the team will be facing some stiff competitors.

Two All Americans, Lorne Donaldson and Oscar Lara, lead a list of thirteeen or four­teen returning players. Coach Temmer is looking forward to working with this mature team. "Donaldson will pro­vide fine team leadership as senior ,captain this year," said the coach. Tim Vetter, retur­ning back, will be junior cap­tain.

Wrestling meet First varsity wrestling meeting will be Thursday, September 1, 5:30 p.m. in the combatives area of the gym. lPER 140).

Disorientation information continued For all but the specialized expert, the isolated fact is a dead issue. The only way to make sense of a world moving this fast is to do the same thing you do natural­ly when you are driving throµgh Nevada at a hundred miles an hour. You un­focus the old eyeballs and ignore particular cacti and particular rocks. Instead, you gauge the road at a far-away enough distance that it appears to come at you more slowly, giving you time to digest the information and make ad­justments.

In the same way, our futures can only be dealt with by focusing somewhere out there near the horiron, making the great long-range plan.

And just as we would quickly refocus if a rabbit ran into the road. we have to quickly take action in the present-tense when our futures are suddenly threaten­ed in the here-and-now,rBut we can no longer afford to live ten minutes behind ourselves, windmilling punches ineffectually, like a man boxing a swarm of bees.

It really is weird out there,if you look at it close up. But just like the dot matrix on a television screen, the images of the present make sense as long as you keep a little distance, concentrating not on the dots themselves, but on the whole, technicolor picture. Your mother surely wanted you not to sit too close to the t.v. set. Likewise, try not to sit too close to the swW"ming buzz of current events. They can make you dizzy, sick - and even blind. 0
