Student F~ Reserve Fund: Rags to Riches

by Michael Ocrant

The MSC Student Affairs Board is uncertain how, and if, a $200,000 reserve fund of student fees should be spent.

The SAB, which consists of seven MSC administrators and six students, allocates student fees, this year expected to total more than $600,000.

Increased enrollment above original predictions, coupled with higher student fees, have helped make the reserve greater than had been expected, according to MSC's Budget Officer, Tim Green.

In 1980, Green said, he sug­gested fees be raised from $38.50 to $So.OO to delay any further in­creases for at least two years.

Green said the board now ex­pects to exceed that goal by one year.

A portion of the increase was for student health insurance, Green said.

Student fees, said Green, which directly fund a majority of activities and services at MSC, in­creased from $21.75 to $28.25.

Controversy surrounding the "Shootout" sculpture and its place­ment on UCD property erupted again last Wednesday at a rally scheduled by Indian students pro­testing the statue.

The day before the rally, the University of Colorado Board of Regents announced that the 12-foot tall aluminum sculpture would be moved from university property at Speer Boulevard and Lawrence

,street.

Even with the announcement, the demonstration went on as planned, often pitting members of the art community against those who believe the lavishly colored statue makes fun of what happened to In­dians in th~ 19th century.

At the rally, speakers charged that the sculpture - which depicts cartoon-like figures of a cowboy and Indian shooting at each other from behind rocks - finds humor in atrocities committed against Native Americans in the 1800s.

American Indian groups, in­cluding the UCD Native American Student Association, (NASA), com­plained that they were not consulted before the sculpture was placed on the traffic island owned by UCD.

"It just one day popped up out of nowhere," complained one rally

participant. "Now it just seems like it's too late."

"It is too sad that this thing has been erected here and has caused conflict," Native American Fraru Blackelk said. "They should have asked us how we felt about this pic­ture before they put it up. People have just overlooked us for too long."

MSC Salary Adjustments Won't Come Soon· If MSC faculty and administration

are ever to get a share of approx­imately $200,000 earmarked for salary adjustments, they first must develop a formal procedure that would be used to determine how that money should be distributed.

It has been the inability _of the faculty and administration to agree on a salary adjustment plan to sub­mit to MSC's governing Board of Trustees that has prevented much progress toward the adjustment of the salaries of ex:emp~ MSC _personnel - faculty, administration and staff.

In late May 1983, MSC President Richard Fontera indicated a desire to ultimately use the money - money not yet designated to specific employees - for raises. On June 20 the Budget Committee of the Facul­ty Senate, the academic deans and Vice President Curt Wright (speak­ing for Fontera) presented proposals for the disposition of the money at a special meeting of the Faculty Senate.

The Budget Committee proposed, essentially, an across-the-board pay raise for all faculty, and that ad­ministration and faculty raises be equal.

The deans proposed that full pro­f~rs receive 66 percent of the available funds, distributed on a

"longeVity principle" that would assure the largest proportional in­creases to those professors with the longest tenure at MSC.

Wright proposed "positio-n ad­justments" to i:nake faculty and ad­ministrative salaries reflect recent enrollment increases.

Soon after the three proposals were presented to the Senate, Fontera revealed yet another plan, one which categorized each of the college's departments based. on market considerations, or the relative demand for faculty in a specific discipline (Human Services, for example, was classified "average market;" English and History were classified "below average;" Com­puter and Management Science was classified "above average").

Fontera's consideration of the relative market value of faculty members was not part of any of the previous. proposals and, perhaps because of the faculty sentiment against it, he chose not to present his proposal to the Board of Trustees.

On Sept. 6 Fontera, in a memo to

the Senate, expressed his desire to work with the Senate, the deans and his vice presidents to develop a pro­cedure to be followed while develop­ing a salary adjustment plan for ex-

Student Fees Surplus continued from page 1

The increase was needed, Green said, because the reserve had dwindled to $4,000, and he predicted those funds would be depleted at the then current budget levels.

However, Green said, he underestimated the rise in enroll­ment of both full and part-time students.

Furthermore, more funds were generated by increasing the cost, from $2.50 to $7.00, for the first credit hour, he said.

That increase, along with a $3 charge for every credit above one, was not considered in the estimate, Green said.

Although Green is confident that the SAB will eventually use the funds on something wor­thwhile, he said there have been no serious suggestions to date on how the money should be spent.

In addition, the money has been put in certificate of deposit accounts and has gained about 10 percent an­nual interest, Green said.

Because of the time lag between the collection and distribtion of stu~ dent fees, Green said students who contributed to the fund may never see any benefit from it.

Oral poet to perform Oral-poet Ric Masten will appear

in Room 330 of the Auraria Student Center Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 3:00 p.m.

- However Steven Shepherd, chariman of the Student Affairs Committee, the student arm of the SAB, said he would like to see something specific done with the money.

"One idea we (the SAC) have," Shepherd said, "is to sponsor a rock concert with free beer and free ad­mission for MSC students."

Shepherd said the concert is only an idea, but that the students on the board were serious about it, and needed to gather more information.

Shepherd said he would also like more exact information about the fund.

Shepherd was . unaware, for in­. stance, that the money was gaining any interest. . ''I'm dying to get into the reserve,"

Shepherd said. But other than the concert, there

have been no suggestions as to ho~ the funds should be spent, Shepherd said.

In the meantime, according to Green, the reserve should make another $20,000 in interest this year, and grow still more from an ex­pected surplus.

That surplus could be as much as $25,000, Green said. 0

One of the few poets in America to carry on the oral tradition, Masten' s work is primarily written to be heard live; either spoken or sung.

empt personnel at MSC. Fontera said it was vital that "any

ultimately proposed procedure inter­nal to the college involve consulta­tions between such groups ... "

In response to Fontera's invitation to help develop a procedure, Faculty Senate President Frieda Holley ex­pressed the Senate's desire to par­ticipate in "the development of a salary philosophy which goes beyond the scope of safary adjustment plans tor exempt personnel."

"In particular we would like to consider the relationship of salaries among the various categories of ex-. empt personnel at MSC."

Holley then asked Fontera if he would agree to freeze administrative salaries if a study showed they were "too high" in relationship to faculty salaries.

Holley also asked Fontera to ob­tain official assurance from the Trustees that they will consider posi­tion adjustments, if such ad­justments are to be part of any plan implemented this year. She said that without such assurance, the Senate Executive Committee would not be willing to recommend that the Senate participate in developing a plan.

In response to Holley's memo,

Fontera said he was not willing to freeze any MSC employee's salary, and that he did not want to see ad­ministrative salaries adjusted until the Trustees had considered position adjustments for both administration and faculty.

Fontera encouraged a philosophy of "shared governance" between ad- . ministration and faculty concerning the development of a salary adjust­ment plan, and expressed his desire that the Senate endorse participation by its representatives in developing "a process through which a pro­cedure can be developed."

Fontera emphasized that he would bring any proposed procedure to the Trustees for their endorse­ment, but that endorsement of such a procedure would in no way con­stitute Trustee endorsement of an ultimate plan, but would indicate a willingness to consider a future salary adjustment plan.

On Sept. 29, the Faculty Senate voted 42 to 12 to participate in

. developing a procedure "only through regularly constituted Facul­ty Senate groups." The Senate also voted to invite Fontera to its Oct. 12 meeting to discuss procedure and the Senate's participation.

built a combination office and con­dominium complex where the sculpture had previously resided.

New Height agreed to landscape the traffic island after the firm ac­quired land for the office­condominium complex from UCD.

New Height moved the sculpture because it said the traffic island was a more fitting site for the art work.'

Chip Newell, a partner in New Height, told the crowd that he would not oppose the order to move the sculpture and was sorry that it had caused such a problem.

"I can tell .you that we had no desire to insult any people," Newell said.

Ken Cole, chairperson of the ex­ecutive council of UCD Student Government, said the regents -who approved the site for a sculpture but did not give specific permission to erect "Shootout" - had made the right decision in ordering the statue removed.

"I think what we have here is an enigma - a sculpture without a home," Cole told the crowd. "What concerns me is the image of the University of Colorado at Denver."

UCD Student Government September 20 asked for the removal of the sculpture from university pro­perty.

On September 26, the UCD Stu-

dent Senate agreed that the statue "does not adhere to the philosophy of UCD," but did not pass a formal resolution asking for its removal.

But the condemnation of the sculpture was not limited just to NASA and ASUCD. Nancy Scott, Dean of Student Academic Services, said she hoped the removal of the art was- "supported by all people not wanting to perpetuate stereotypes."

Glenn Morris, UCD political science professor, likened the piece and its message to the Holocaust.

"How long would a sculpture of the Holocaust or a slave master last on this spot? rn tell you how long -about 10 minutes - because the public outci:y would be so loud."

Tony Shearer, an ethnic studies teacher at UCD, proposed that the statue be sold and the proceeds be sent to the Rosebud Souix. The sculpture is valued at between $100,000 and $150,000.

"When I see violence, something happens inside of me," Shearer said. "If that thing is not moved by Oc­tober 12, I'll paint it black." _

Others entertained the idea of blowing up the pop att piece.

"I support 100 percent the idea of blowing this thing up - because the army taught me how to, and I'm not afraid to use my trade," said one member of the audience.

One art student carried a sign

~ (,) al ...,

which read "Remove The Regents, Keep The Art," and said he believed that times had changed enough to allow people to view the sculpture with a sense of humor.

"This is about 1983, not 1893," he said.

"I think it would be good to have this sense of humor," another stu­dent said. "But we are not ready for it yet."

Still another student, who carried a cane, alleged that the landscaping project had "wiped out half of the handicapped parking spaces."

But UCD Chancellor Gene Nord­by said that the agreement with New Height had "actually improved and made more permanent the han­dicapped parking spaces."

Nordby said the construction of

Villin~ Touch~ hearts, not minds by Doug Haas

St. Cajetan's Church echoed with the sound of the well-staged, emo­tional appeal of Evelynne Villines, a polio victim and self-appointed motivational speaker for the han­dicap_ped.

The presentation seemed to be directed toward newly-handicapped people or those with limited ex­perience in dealing with disabilities. Villanes, who said she came to share her "Philosophy of love," never reached beyond that point to establish a definite theme or direc­tion. The end result was little more than ~ rambling account of Villines' failures and successes in coping with polio and people. Villines' described being treated as a non-person

- because of her handicap. Frequent­ly, she said, people regard the han­dicapped as if they were children.

"I don't care who pushes me up to· the gate to make my plane; whether it is my son, whether it is a friend or whether it is someone I am tipping to take me there, the person behind the counter will say to whoever is pushing me 'can she w~k?' "

' , I

If there was a redeeming quality to the lecture, it was the sincerity with which Villines delivered her lines. I have no doubt that she really does believe that love makes the

l

world go 'round. Villines said that handicapped

people are often in isolated en­vironments, and lack a proper sup­port system.

She recalled being ridiculed for crying as a little girl in a polio ward:

"The first thing I can remember that they taught me was that I could not cry. If we cried, we were punish­ed," she said.

Love and more love seemed to be her solution to all the important pro-

blems handicapped people face every day. Villines had touched the hearts of her audience - but not their minds.

As my-cane and I were escorted to the door of the church by a still teary-eyed young lady, we passed some tables where refreshments were being served. After all that talk about direct communication, I found it ironic when another lady asked my sighted guide, "Does he want some cake?" D

Grooms, who did not attend the hour-and-a-half demonstration, did not agree that the complaints against his work were valid ones.

"Denver is beginning to rival Grumpsville, Tennessee; as one of the great sourpuss towns," Grooms said in a letter read to the crowd.

19 Q ~ by Carson Reed 0±.--,--------------

A Fatal Flaw to Shangri-la The future, like love, is only vaguely understood by people. It is, also like

love, an object of alternating awe, fear, affection and adulation. Perhaps this is why, like love, it lends itself well to poets and other manipulators, who feel perpetually uncomfortable within· the confines of reality.

Flights of fancy, poetry, platonic ideal building, all flourish in the neutral medium of the future. As has this column. But there is an ever-present danger: that people who dream of the future (or the past) do so because they believe the present to be irrelevant, boring, or intolerable.

For many people on this planet, life is indeed intolerable, with no decent water to drink and not a whole lot to eat. Starvation is a boring way to live, and a soul-defeating, undignified way to have to die. If we are to reach into the future, it must be to find answers to problems that have faced us forever, as well as problems which we are creating for ourselves as we go along.

Thus far, the study of the future has had a decided bias toward the in­dustrialized nations - providing philosophies that cater to the 'haves' rather than the 'have nots.'

It is time to face the facts - there are a lot more poor people in the neighborhood than rich ones, and they are naturally a little upset at the greed they see around them. Someone told me once that at least one Third World religion (sorry, I forgot which one) teaches that those who sin are reincarnated as Americans.

It's time for us to set priorities - it might be possible for the industrialized west to become a series of garrisons, protecting its own interests at the ex­pense of everyone else, if that's what we want.

Locked into a castle keep, we would then be free to be lyrical about the splendors of life, while mercenary pirates acted on our behalf to secure the needed raw materials to fuel utopia. 'This is called 'life,boat ethics,' an ironic label, to be sure.

Another, equally unacceptable alternative, is for the 'haves' of the world to divest themselves, voluntarily or otherwise, and then distribute all the wealth equally among the earth's inhabitants. 'fhat solution is unacceptable because all the wealth of the world would be spent in a couple of months, and then everyone would be in trouble.

A third solution, and one that future-types find appealing, is that we can pour all of our wealth into modern technology, in the hope that it will solve

FR~c___ ___ _ ~ by Keith Levise

Reptilian Diplomacy "The people at large are already sensible that the liberties which America claimed ... are not about to fall before the tyranny of foreign conquest; it is the native usurpation of power that is shaking the foundations of peace." - - Mercy Warren, 1788

Our elderly leaders in Washington would like us to perceive the Kremlin as the_ primary cause of our national distress - the boat anchor which prevents our democratic ship from sailing. Meanwhile, the old goats in Moscow blame their troubles on America. Their nation wouldn't be strap­ped, they say, if we'd give them a brealc. In a circular and perverse manner, both sides rationalize their condition by blaming it on each other. The dreadful consequence of this cheap .psychology is mindless militarism.

Year after year the old boys justify the arms race by pretending they have no choice. "The enemy will be parading down main street,'' they bark, "if we don't build more bombs." Their abject clatter, though, cannot obscure the fact that they are behaving like pre-adolescent criminals. While making peace with one another should be their number one objective, it has instead become their last.

American statE:Sman Adlai Stevenson pointed out "the road of history is marked by the whitened bones of civilizations which were based on a set of goals that the passage of time had made obsolete." Military supremacy is one such goal. The imperialist crusade is another. Our leaders, like Nicolas Chauvin of Napoleonic fame, are notorious for their bellicose attachment to the lost cause and their militant, boastful devotion to narrowly defined na­tionalism. They believe that the national interest (their interest) is more im­portant than international considerations like the future of humanity. They are determined to dominate the economic and political affairs of weaker countries; to control the raw materials and world markets indefinitely, no matter what the cost. The common good of the masses means nothing to these men. In their world, the happiness of individuals is a meaningless idea.

Though their selfish goals and methods remain intact, civilization is . changing and they will step in line. Their ancient, reptilian concept of the world where only the fittest survive - where might alone makes right - is ·

IC on its way out, and so are they. In Russia, and in America, it is an obligation Z of our citizenship to show them to the door. D

our insolvable problems. Green revolutions, micro-biology, genetics, nuclear fusion, etcetera.­

etcetera. etcetera. We are a nation of gadgeteers, who have always felt no problem was too tough to solve.

But gadgets have.not cured cancer or colds or the Chinese Ivy that is talc­ing over my lawp. Gadgets will never cure racism or violence, or stupidity. I hope. There are some things that we should each try to fix in ourselves, by ourselves.

Gadgets can help - the television, the radio, the satellite, and the com­puter can all be used to open the lines of communication in .the world, to teach valuable skills, to promote understanding and to eliminate waste.

But currently this 'information revolution' is almost exclusively available to those who can afford to pay for it. It will get worse before it gets better.

The vested interests of the world are catching on to the value of informa­tion. Already, the static technology of the computer is available at Target for a hundred bucks - but all the information - the software needed to make the things useful - is expensive, and will continue to be expensive. It is in­dicative of a new understanding of an old cliche - knowledge is power.

My solution - and one that has other advocates in the world - is an 'in­formation rights' movement closely aligned to the methods and values of the civil rights movement of the '60s.

It's time for the proletariat to stand up and demand their right to access to information: everything from how to install siding to curve geometry. Without an immediate push and a lot of noise, information is bound to become more and more the property of the rich.

Democracy, a strange notion that is still unrealized and mostly misunderstood, hinges on an aware, enlightened society. It is severely limited by the lowest common denominator. In an authoritarian society, it is theoretically possible to fly as high as the grandest thinker available, by dictum of law. But, if we are truly committed to listening to the voices of our most prosaic people, then we have to malce a serious committment to arming the world with the tools it needs to do the job.

I am seriously committed to a new, worldwide democracy. Our leaders have prov.en to be nothing more than short-sighted representatives of various special interests. Ultimately, the future, and the poetry which it inspires, are the property of the people. 0

Clear Heads Better Than MX Warheads It was a somber day for opponents of the Mx missile in the House of

Representatives recently. As we watched the electronic vote tally, we knew we had failed to stop production of the missile. That vote, an amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization Bill that two weeks earlier we felt we would win, was especially frustrating because the debate ignored the merits of the missile, its basing mode, or its survivability. The argument that won the day called the MX a needed retaliatory measure to what the Soviets did to Korean F1iizbt 007.

But the downing of the commercial airliner occurred even though both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. maintain a combined total of over 40,000 nuclear weapons. Nuclear might did not prevent this tragedy. The MX certainly wouldn't have either.

To embrace the MX as needed medicine now more that ever still ignores the fundamental flaw of the missile system - it does nothing to solve our problem of land based missile vulnerability. Each MX missile holds 10 or 12 nuclear warheads, each of which can be targeted independently. If each warhead were accurately targeted and potent enough to break the hardened steel and concrete covering Soviet missiles, the 100 MX's could destroy 1,000 to 1,200 of the Soviet's 1,400 land-based missiles. If we struck first, the MX would be quite effective on eliminating the ability of the Soviet Union to retaliate, something that makes them quite nervous.

However, this country has repeatedly said that we will never launch our intercontinental ballistic missiles first. The idea of being the country respon- ' sible for either a limited or all-out nuclear confrontation most Americans find JlDCOnscionable.

That leaves the MX even more vulnerable and less useful than the Minuteman III missiles the MX will take the place of. We were told by Reagan last year that the 3-warhead Minuteman sitting in existing silos were vulnerable to a Soviet first strike. Yet the same administration wants to put the 10-warhead missile in the same silos! Russian planners must be delighted that we are spending now over $29 billion to put more warheads in the same

"Everything is under control''

Another week of classes and student government meetings have passed, good news, 11 more weeks ahead! Proposals and topics discusred at the SAC September 28 meeting were: 1) the new ASMSC Constitution is taking shape; 2) club travel funds are available, check with your SAC represen­tative for more details; 3) Student Affairs Board is still busy; 4) The Auraria German Club was allocated $87.50 for an upcoming activity planned Oc­tober 13, 1983; 5) political club funding is being checked out. An important note to all clubs, check with SAC concerning having your events printed in The Metropolitan calendar of events to let all the students know what you are up to. Another important note, a retraction of last week's article, a ques­tion was raised and'approved by the SAC about whether teams (not terms) could be considered fo:r: funding. Till you hear from us again, rest assured everything is under control. D

l\i8C (icl\e11nnent Report

Howdy, Well, it's been another fun-filled week. We are still working hard on a

new Constitution, and the second draft should be ready when this paper comes. out. I would encourage you all to get a copy from .our office in Room 340C of the Student Center, so that you will be able to have some input when we hold the open forum to discuss it.

As you may or may not know, we are one of four schools that are part of the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado. The Consortium is made up of Adams State, Mesa College, Western State, and Metro. The Consortium Board-meets about once a month to discuss policies, budgets, academic af­fairs, and/or a wide range of problems. The last meeting, September 29 and 30 took place in Gunnison, Cqlorado. One item on their agenda of great im­portance t-0 us as students was the capital construction budget. We are by far the largest school in the Consortium, yet not one red cent was requested for us at Metro. Why not? Well, it should be pointed out that they did add a footnote to the effect that it is not their job to ask for money for building at Auraria, the campus on which Metro is housed. So what does the Consor-

holes they've already targeted. That leaves them free to pursue other strategic weapon avenues. '

We in Colorado should also be fearful of that vulnerability because of our proximity to the target. The 100 initial MX missiles will hide in silos in Wyoming and Nebraska just across the Colorado border. It's reasonable to assume that after a 3,000 mile flight from mainland Russia, their ICBMs could stray a few miles off course. They would not have to stray far to reduce Denver, Greeley, Fort Collins, and Boulder to nuclear rubble. Nuclear fallout does not stop at state borders either. The natural prevailing winds would send radioactive dust and debri~ southward toward the more populated areas.

The Congressional process to pay for weapons like the MX is almost over this year although the fate of the MX will be put to one more test . The Defense Authorization Act, where we lost the last vote, tells the Pentagon what Congress is willing to spend for next year's arms. The soon to be debated Department of Defense Appropriations Bill tells the Pentagon exact­ly how much money it can spend and on what. There will be one last at­tempt to sidetrack the MX this year by denying the Pentagon the money to buy the missiles. Mote than likely we will see the same arguments brought up: that we must show the Russians a thing or two by voting for the MX.

The challenge to America in the 1980s is not to treat every incident as a superpower confrontation but to rebuild free world allianpes and together construct new ways of dealing with international crises. Building a larger U.S. nuclear arsenal only encourages unilateral problem solving, while it saps our economic resources and leaves us with staggering deficits.

There is no question that in some circumstances might may reinforce right. But in other situations, right can manufacture misguided might. Calm heads, clear minds, diplomacy, and partnership are needed today, not MX missiles.

tium do for us? Well, I know that they pool the money that is left over from tuition and use it to bail-out the other schools that have had a drop in enroll­ment. They will also use our name as part of the Consortium to ask for money for capital construction, when the school that will be getting the building may not even be around in five years if the current enrollment pic­ture does not improve. The Board of Regents at the University of Colorado has adopted a resolution to the effect that priority should be given to capital construction at Auraria. I would like you as Metropolitan State College students to send a letter to tlre President of the Consortium, Richard A. Laughin, at 203 State Street, Denver, Colorado, 80203, and express your displeasure at how we are treated by our Board when it comes down to the bottom-line of funding.

Once again I wo_uld like to remind you that the parking committee will be meeting on the 13th of October, at 3 p.m. on 1020 9th Street. Let all the members of this committee know how you feel about free parking that we as students will have to pay for.

It looks like a good year overall for our campus. We have set up regular meeting with Dr. Antonio Esquibel, and with the President of our college, Dr. Richard Fontera. Everyone seems very interested in hearing from us as students, so if you have an idea or bitch let us know and we will make it known. ·

Ecology ~ the study of the relationship between living '

organisms in their environment. Sometimes, they eat each other. Other times they exist together peacefully within com-mon confines.

Editor'• note: This article is the first in a four-part series which will examine

· the past, present. and future of the Auraria Campua.

-

The Aumia Hi<h"' Education Cent"' was built with coope•ation in mind. Three institutions, each with separate governing boards and different goals, sharing facilties and creating an 'education supermarket' in downtown Denver. The fourth member of this sometimes uneasy alliance, the AHEC Board of Directors, manages and operates the physical facilities and some of the campus services.

Now, six years after its completion, the plans are still on the drawing bo~. ,

The Auraria campus was created by an act of the-Colorado Legislature in 1974. New facilities were needed for Metropolitan State College, the Univer­sity of Colorado-Denver and the Community College of Denver (now Denver Auraria Community College). It was hoped that by installing all three on one campus, costs could be reduced through_ a system of sharing.

The concept of Auraria became a reality in 1977 with the completion of the 169 acre campus. But, by 1978, the Legislature was looking for ways to make changes in the structure of the campus to save money.

The Legislature instructed the Interim Com-

proposal froln Rep. Bob Stephenson of Colorado Springs, which would have closed CCD-A in favor of an Aurora campus and the second time in the form

·· of a "secret memo" circulated among the Board of Regents. Both plans resulted in a lot of tail-covering and paranoia.

All of which leads us to Auraria Higher Education Center - 1983. While the merger plans and power struggles have been, perhaps, the most

visible of Auraria's problems through the years, they are by no means the on­ly ones.

Dr. Jerry Wartgow, executive director of AHEC, says the main problem of the campus is lack of space.

"The good news is we're growing," he says, "the bad news is we're not able to accomodate the growth. This causes constant bickering about how big the campus should be and how we should keep it up."

· A new classroom building, propoSed for con-struction on AHEC parking lot Q, seems to be trapped in a legislative net of indecision because of the

F economy. W artgow says the General Assembly has been supportive of the campus in the past but right

mission on Higher Education to examine duplication of services and programs at the three institutions, especially. a number of academic programs with similar or overlapping course requirements. -

It all Corne8 down to the question -

Is Auraria working?

now they're finding it easier to put off capital im­provements.

MSC President Dr. Richard Fontera agrees with ,. W artgow in his assessment of the overcrowding pro­

blem. He says the .campus needs more buildings to meet educational demands from all three institutions, but he isn't enthusiastic about putting new buildings at Auraria.

The first plan to change the system came from Hugh Fowler, then a Republican · State Senator from Littleton. His proposal would have merged MSC and UCO into one institu­tion under an elected board of trustees. In reply to strong student protest, Fowler said~ "A reorganization is critical to the Legislature's understanding of the situation. If the Legislature doesn't understand this system, they aren't going to fund it."

ls the concept of three separate edu· cational institutions on one campus stiU Fontera sees MSC's current program of "off

··· campus" night offerings at such places as Cherry Creek Middle School and Pecos Jr. High School as one

·· way to ease the problem.

While CU's Board of Regents supp0rted the plan, (providing they were named as the gover­ning board), the Consortium of State Colleges Board of Trustees maintained, "MSC is work­ing well, and it's not our problem if UCO isn't."

tOiable or are we headed for a "megacampm"

approach, a lingle university at Aurarla made up of the belt (ormostl~)

that each imtitution has to offerP

"Nobody, in their wildest dreams, would have thought ten years ago that today there would be 17,000 plus students at Metro and 35,000 at the three institutions," he says. "The problem is that good and decent .people underestimated, to a remarkable degree, what would happen if you provided good quality educational opportunity for students in this

CCD-A officials from the State Board for Com-munity Colleges and Occupational Education opposed the measure as well, fearing they would be the next target in the merger attempt.

The central issue became "Who will run the show?". . The merger idea took another step in 1979 with the introduction of

Fowler's SB 523 which created the Colorado Commission on Higher Educa­tion to oversee all colleges and universities in the state. The bill covered in detail every institute of higher learning in the state with the notable excep­tions of MSC and UCO. Instead, the bill outlined a Metropolitan University of Denver which incorporated the MSC structure into UCO, establishing a new school. In later revisions, this measure was removed from the bill.

In 1979, the Legislature passed HB 1498 which required the newly-formed CCHE to study the situation at Auraria and "recommend to the General Assembly that Auraria Higher Education Center and the constituent institu­tions be terminated, merged or continued in their present form or placed under such form of institutional governance as the Commission may deem advisable. '1

Throughout 1979, politics raised its ugly head many times, as all three schools, AHEC, CCHE, and the Legislature attempted to come up with an acceptable plan that would keep intact the original concept of Auraria, that of providing a choice of quality educational facilities for the residents of metropolitan Denver, and at the same time save money.

In December, 1979, the controversy was laid to rest for a time when CCHE recommended to the Legislature that rather than merge under the Board of Regents or a new composite board, MSC and UCO should stay with the status quo - three separate but cooperating institutions.

As a result of CCHE recommendations, the three institutions began work­ing toward the consolidation of some overlapping programs, crosslisting of classes and joint program offerings. A number of non-academic services, duplicated among the three, were placed under the management of the AHEC Board. .

Merger attempts have made headlines twice since 1979. Once through a

part of the city of Denver." Nowhere is the overcrowding more evident to

students than in the Auraria parking lots. W artgow says AHEC is currently involved in a

preliminary study of a "people mover" transit system

to move students from McNichols Arena and Bronco Stadium parking lots to campus but "It's a non-academic problem. The real issues must evolve around the quality of education."

' It all comes down to the question - Is Auraria working? Is the concept of three separate educational institutions on one campus still viable or are we headd for. a "megacampus" approach, a single university at Auraria made up of the best (or most lucrative) that each institution has to offer?

Dr. Meyer Titus, president of DACC, says in many ways the concept of .Auraria is working. He says the shared campus idea causes better utilization of facilities such as the Student Center and the library.

"When you put three instituti-ons together in a small area and they recruit ifrom the same population, it naturally causes some competition," he says.

~twhile it may present a dilemma for students deciding which institution to

ttend, Titus says "It may be good for a student to decide something about mself and about the three institutions."

In this series of articles, we hope to examine the future of Auraria Higher Education Center by examining the forces which have brought it this far and the changes that are occurring right now that will affect the students of to­iay and tomorrow.

"It's a tribute to everyone here that it (Auraria) is working as well as it is 1even though it has problems," Titus says, "but even changes won't make it a problem-free institution. We may have the best possible arrangement now, but we've nothing to compare it to. Some change may be good - or it may ,make what we have now_l~k good. D

Does Eddie Live? - Its a $1 Question

l1 rm I DW by Paul Boyd

When in doubt, make a mystery movie and promote it like this: "Rebel ... Rocker ... Lover .. . Idol. -.. Vanished." Surely then a few folks will get a buck back for their five.

Eddie and the Cruisers tries suc­cessfully to seize our attention through the reliable route of the mystery-enhanced by Rebel, Rocker, Lover, Eddie Wilson portrayed by newcromer_Michael Pare.

The riddle goes like this: The Cruisers, an up-and-coming band in the early sixties, cuts its second album, which never gets released.

Apparently the music was before its time, but the record publishers thought it was trash. At this news, the volatile Eddie - a man who if he couldn't do something that nobody has ever done - he would just as soon not .. . oops, nearly gave it away; but it can be revealed that Eddie's car goes off a bridge and his body is never found. Twenty years later, the music of the Cruisers is ressurected; through nebulous evidence, a reporter believes there is a chance that Eddie lives.

A warning before you read fur­ther. Though I love a mystery, I've been known to tell kids that it would be an impossibility for Santa to deliver toys world wide in one night. Read on at your own risk.

A second mystery involves the missing tapes from The Cruisers never-released album. Where did they go? Who has them? If found it could be big bucks for someone. Perhaps for one of the former Cruisers?

The movie is viewed through a series of flashbacks by a member of the Cruisers. A treat, in this, is the original music sung by the band from their first album. Their music was intended to give a feeling of ear­ly sixties rock; yet through words that would have meaning, the music of The Cruisers does have a contem­porary sound. · Eddie seems to be a cross between Rick Springfield and John Cougar.

The music, and not the ending, is the most surprising aspect of the movie. Does Eddie live? Well no, I just couldn't. Do try and see the movie on a dollar night. Four back instead of one could make Eddie and his Cruisers much more enjoyable.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance

by Paul Boyd

The start is slow, tension mounts, you tighten your grip for you know you're about to take a trip - an unrelenting rush on the senses. When the adventure is complete you may want to do it again. After view­ing and riding with a film titled Koyaanisqatsi, (showing exclusively at the Esquire), you might wish another, if you're not tuckered out. Koyaanisqatsi demands your atten­tion and automatically secures it from start to finish. The title is derived from the Hopi Indian mean­ing; "life out of balance/' or, "a state of life that calls for a new way of liv­ing.".

"The film in no way speaks for the Hopi," stated creator-director God­frey Reggio in ~post-screening inter­view. Reggio's vision in the film is his own personal point of view. His intentions were to "put a full court press on the senses," to take the au­dience on a trip in a language of im­ages and alter our perception so in the end that we may ask questions of ourselves. Does he succeed? Are Denver's skies polluted? Reggio firmly believes that we are headed for destruction, and it was his point to make that we are out of control. He does not offer us a new way of living, but what he brings to the screen is 87 minutes of mouth open­ing, pupil dilating images so com­pletely entwined with the score that the two together become one ex­perience, like the thunderous roar of a roller-coaster running the tracks and the rapid rushing views of up, down and around.

Philip Glass, one of America's foremost classical composers, mesmerizes our auditory sense with a repetitive score fluctuating bet­ween intensity and serenity. This music fuses with the images of the cinema photography, and together we are taken on a journey without the help of any character or dialogue. This film can be best described as a visual poem.

Reggio opens this landmark film with images of a virgin earth which seemed as if the earth was preparing its resources for their eventual ex-

with a humor all his own, will bring his one-man show to the Mission Tuesday, October 11, from 12 to 2 p.m.

Brav has opened for such diverse acts in the past such as Leon Red­bone, Jim Croce and Hank Williams Jr.

ploitation. As the camera observes, you feel like the architect surveying the finished product where every rock and tree has its place. There are no straight lines in the natural tex­ture of the earth. In one scene, like a memorable passage from a poem, we are lifted up to the sky in order to look down on ·a rolling bank of clouds, that, like a turmoiled sea, ex­press a feeling of power - controll­ed strength. Never will you see such special effects, special in that they are nature as only nature can pro­duce.

A different force then invades the scenery. You guessed it, man. Man and his seemingly in-control technology ravages and seduces the earth for all she can give. We build and build but nothing seems to last. In some shots skyscrapers are demolished, but their destruction in a weird way pleases us, like our fascination when we see a traffic wreck, or the thrill we receive in the collision of two race cars.

The movie continues on with this theme, showing scenes of war, urban decay, and of course, nuclear blast. Do humans have some innate tendency. for a pleasing effect in destruction? Perhaps this is a ques­tion Reggio wants us to ask.

Reggio delivers a feeling that technology seems to destroy the crea­tions of its predecessors. Will the buck have to stop somewhere in-one encompassing ugliness of destruc­tion? This is not to say Reggio sees technology as ugly, for in its crea­tions it does have its asthetic images and benefits, but he sees it as "beau­ty in the beast ... a false beauty," such as the frenzied scenes of Los Angeles traffic filmed by fast motion photography at night. This is allur­ing and pleasing to the eye, but where is everybody racing to?

This high-tech film - which resembles a video game - will not be easily forgotten. It all reminds me of a bumper sticker I recently saw. "If life is a video-game then I'm out of quarters." Reggio may have been a little blunter when .he said: "Humpty Dumpty has fallen off the wall and he can't be put back together!" Will we have time to remember this film? D

'Strange Invaders' Why is it Here?

. by John Fortin

Ever sit through one of those movies that made you swear "Cone With the Wind" seemed way too short? Or that made you think "At­tack of the Killer Tomatoes" was one of the greatest horror movies ever made?

Sitting through "Strange Invaders" may make you think so. Or at least make you rank it up there with those other all-time blockbusting thrillers such as "Starship Invasions" and "I Spit On Your Crave."

"Strange Invaders" is nothing more than another where-did-they-come­from and why-are-they-he~e sort of alien monster movie that does little fpr any person who believes in any of Carl Sagan's theories. But, unfor­tunately, this movie doesn' t bother to add anything else such as a decent script or dazzling special effects that might make it even the least bit enter-taining or interesting. '

The film starts out in the late 1950s, where a small Illinois town is taken over by aliens (from who knows where?) and occupy the humans' bodies. We are then thrown twenty­five years later to the present and all is fine in the rest of the world, but for some reason, no one else knows about this extraterrestrially occupied town, until a New York woman Gune Lockhart) somehow discovers that her mother who lives in the Illinois town is dying. So she tells her hus­band (Paul LeMat) that she will be out of town for a few days and asks him to look after their daughter. Consenting this, he spends the next two weeks running about taking her to school, cleaning up after her, and tucking her into bed.

Sound thrilling yet? It should, because that is half the movie right there.

Well Mr. Bigelow by now is get­ting a~y worried about his wife - who has not returned in over ten days - so he decides to venture to the Illinois town to find her, and sure enough he stumbles upon some very peculiar people who naturallr don't know anything of a Mrs. Bigelow. But he pokes and prods his way around town until the aliens finally reveal themselves and try to kill him. He manages to escape back to New York where he befriends an alien­reporting journalist from the Na­tional Inquirer named Betty Walker (Nancy Allen) and Mrs. Benjamin (Louise F1etcher) and asks them to help him.

Well, Mrs. Benjamin - who works as a secretary for the U.S. government and listens to peoples' stories of UFO sightings - tells Bigelow the government has known about the aliens occupying the town ever since they came and have been helping them in gathering informa­tion about our planet, and warns them that they are not to be disturbed during their mission. An infuriated

Mr. Bigelow takes his other compa­nions to the town anyway to get his wife back. This leads to more disgusting scenes of the aliens ripping off their human disguises and show­ing their true form (which looks like a cross between the creatures in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and Cumby), and to a predictably boring anti-climax.

This relentlessly dragging film only makes one wonder why such astute actors and actresses such as Paul LeMat, Michael Lerner, Louise F1et­cher and Fiona Lewis were thrown into a movie with almost no direction or imagination. But even more ques­tionable -is why this film was put together by such noteworthy peo~le director Michael (Strange Behavior) Laughlin and producer Walter Coblenz ("The Candidate" , "The Onion Field" and "All the President's Men" .) These two men probably had a few too many drinks at a big Hollywood party one night and pro­mised each other to make a fast buck by throwing together a bunch of big time actors and them making a real gory teenage alien monster movie. Maybe that idea is a little heavy, but really, what else can the objective viewer think? 0

Wild Life Guidebook Bicycle riding on city streets is

practiced by many people who do not consider themselves risk takers. Many city bicyclists, in fact, avoid such "dangerous" pastimes as parachuting or even skiing. In­terestingly, though, these same peo­ple think nothing of climbing aboard , a 25-pound aluminum spiderweb and playing tag on the asphalt with a gang of 3,000-pound steel boxes piloted by the chronically erratic.

Yet that's what city bike riding is all about.

Unfortunately, the inherently ex­treme danger of the activity is unrecognized by a lot of its par­ticipants, mostly because they don't understand the concept of obf ective danger. ·

Objective dangers are risk factors you can't control. Like car drivers who pull out in front of you, pinch you into the curb, use you for target practice or lumber randomly in your direction wondering what day it is and what planet they're currently on. What this means in terms ofrisk is that, no matter how good you are, it's probably only a matter of time before you get eaten by a Buick.

But like any risk sport, there are ways of minimizing the danger of ci­ty bicycling to the point where you can probably get through the year

without a visit to the emergency room. The most impartant of these is recognizing - and accepting - the fact that, every time you get on a bicycle, you're entering the Black Death Zone. You have to really believe you could end up in a cold room with a tag on your toe if things go to hell; that way, you'll be motivated to pay proper attention. (Which is why car drivers don't -they're inside a portable bunker.) Se­cond, assume every driver will blindly, deafly, and dumbly pursue the course of action which leaves you with the fewest collision avoidance options; this will enable you to get out of their way - most of the time. Finally, try to go as fast as the traffic --:- and don't be afraid to get in the left wheel track and take up a whole lane when you do! Matching velocities with the boxes means fewer pass you, which means fewer have a chance to get you.

Positioning Some city bicyclists recognize yourself this way also preempts them the need for riding protection. from pinching you into curbs, open car doors and little old ladies who can't find the.crosswalk. •

City bicycling isn't all Black Death and broken · bones, however. For moving ar9und the city, you can hardly beat a bike for efficient transportation; in most cases, you can use a combination of roads, bikeways and sidewalks to get where you're going the fastest way possible. And they're a lot easier to find park­ing spaces for.

You can also strengthen your legs and significantly improve your cardio-vascular fitness without in­curring the lower leg injuries you get with running (unless you get your leg ripped off by a bumper).

· And when you arrive at adrenalin, you'll find that city bicycling offers some of the best rushes to be had in risk ·sport. Face it, folkS: hardly anything compares to that feeling you get when the Buick decides it's time for lunch. D

MSC's Boys of Summer Adds Three All-Staters

The MSC Varsity Baseball team has been practjcing since early September and has compiled a respectable 2-2 record during pre­season play. Coach Bill Helman is confident the squad will do well this year, even though the team wfil-be comprised mostly of freshmen.

"Our team is really young," Hellman said. "We only have three returning seniors. Almost half of the team could be freshman."

The team showed well in a mini­tournament at the Air Force· Academy on Friday. After defeating DU (1-0) and Regis (1-6), the squad was pounded by AFA (8-1) and UNC (14-7), both of which are Division I teams.

The boys of summer did well behind . their pitchers, junior Bob Weber (2-6, 4.94 in '83) and senior Jeff Optiz (2-5, 7.93 in '83). Also leading the team are returning seniors Greg Isenhart (.426, 5HR in

'83) and Doug Schroeder (.315, 1 HR in '83). Isenhart was ranked 20th in the NCAA Div. II and Weber was ranked 7th with a 9.5 SO average per game.

Although the Roadrunners were 20-21 last season, Hellman is confi­dent they will fare well with the three new freshman he has recruited this year.

The three high school all-staters are Larry Chamberlain, winner of the Skyline Batting Crown fdr Adams City; Mark Bryant, winner of Jeffco Triple Crown for Arvada West and Steve Ciberay, winner of Denver Prep low ERA Crown for Lincoln.

"These three will definitely help us this year," Hellman said. "To get to the Districts, we have to beat DU and UNC."

Any student who wishes to play for the Roadrunners should contact Bill Hellman at 629.-8300. D

MSC gets Fifth Rank by Lori Martin

The MSC Women's Volleyball team will host a tournament this Fri­day and Saturday in the Auraria Gym. Sixteen teams from six states will participate in the tournament which will be run on a round robin system.

The teams are divided into four pools and MSC coach Pat Johnson has seeded them evenly for competi­tion.

"I can't predict a winner at this point, but I think Northern Arizona will be real strong - at least they were last year," Johnson said. MSC will join Colorado School of Mines, St. Mary's University from Califor­nia and Southern Utah State. The other pools consist of Rockmont, Fort Lewis, Regis (ranked tenth in the nation according to NAIA) and UNC in Pool I; Southern Colorado, Mesa, Chadron State from Nebraska and Bradly University from Illinois in Pool II; Western State, Colorado College and Northern Arizona in

, Pool IV. The Roadrunners competed Tues­

day at the Air Force Academy and were narrowly defeated by one game.

"The match was tied at two games apiece when we really got a bad break," Johnson said. "There was an illegal hit made by one of their players - that even the crowd reacted to - but the referee didn't call it," Johnson said. The scores were 15-1, 2-15, 15-12, 13-15, and 14-16.

The Roadrunners battled against seven teams last weekend in a tour­namerlt at UNC and won four of the seven matches while coming very close in the other three.

DU lost to MSC 15-4, 15-2, as did the University of Utah, 8-15, 15-12 and 16-18. MSC lost to CSU 5-15, and 15-17 in a close battle, but came back to upset California State/Dom­ingus Hills 11-15, 15-11, and 15-2 and North Dakota Southern Univer­sity 6-15, 15-7 and 15-13. Utah State edged MSC 15-12, 9-15, 11-15, while nemisis UNC, who the ' Roadrunners haven't beaten in four years, once again upset MSC 12-15, and 14-16.

"I feel good about being close in the matches we lost," Johnson said.

"We won one or two games in most matches so we didn't have any wipe outs. I think we learned to play under pressure this weekend, but we've got to learn to push harder to win close ones. All season long we've lost matches at the end," she said.

The NAIA has ranked the Netters fifth in the nation this week with a record of 21-8, so they should fare well in this weekend's tournament.

"We've come within an eyelash of winning so many tournaments," Johnson said. "We have to get over a hump to win those close ones." 0

Two Shutouts for Fehr As MSC Kickers Win Big by Dave Migoy~ "It all comes down to who is the

best goalie for our squad," coach Harry Temmer said. The MSC Men's Varsity Soccer

squad faced three outstanding op­ponents last weekend and came up the winners in two of the match-ups.

On Wednesday the team defeated a strong Rockmont College squad by the unbalanced score of 9-0. The big victory came after the MSC kickers returned with a second place trophy from the Brigham Young University tournament two weekends ago.

"The tournament must have given us a lift because we played against Rockmont like we did in Utah," assistant-coach Al Aihton said. "Our playing was outstanding. We finally got our act together."

Get it together they did, especially sophomore Al Reinig. In the most outstanding performance of his young career, Reinig registered the first hat-trick for MSC this year.

Reminiscent of Lorne Donaldson, the spectacular two-time All­American who was rendered ineligi­ble to play this year because of academic difficulties, Reinig took picture-perfect passes from his team­mates and easily beat out any defenders for the three goals.

"Al (Reinig) played beautifully," Ashton said. "I don't know what it was, but he was charged up."

On Saturday the squad faced a determined Hardin-Simmons team. Even though HS has been having their troubles in the tough Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League, MSC was not taking them too lightly.

"We face every team as if they were trying to wipe us up," Ashton said.

Ashton's "no-goals patrol" defense was in fine form for the second con­secutive match, as MSC shutout HS 2-0. Freshman goalie Mike Fehr played superbly for his second shutout in as many games.

"Mike (Fehr) has really sparkled these last few games," Ashton said. · "He's really done a fine job, especial­ly for a fredunan,"

That fine performance has landed Fehr the starting keeper job and landed former starter, senior Rob Butler, on the Junior Varsity.

.Butler was left behind when the squad went to Utah, and conse­quently he quit the team. But after careful consideration, about 10 minutes or so, he dec~ded to accept his fate.

"Rob is a fighter," Ashton said. "He'll fight his way back to the varsi­ty level. He's got a lot of spunk."

In the meantime, Drew Trenka is the number-two keeper for the kickers.

On Sunday the squad faced an Air Force Academy team that protected their goal as if it was their country. Although Trenka was slated to start between the poles, his tardiness allowed Fehr to take the call.

"We have been having a hard time with his lateness," Ashton said. " His future timeliness will be the key fac­tor."

Better shape up Drew, or else Rob's going to get 1!is wish.

Even ~ough Fehr was determined to get his third victory in as many games, the Falcons were not so easy on him as the "men of honor" from Colorado Springs blanked MSC 3-0.

Their first goal was on a penalty kick that, according to Ashton, was on a ridiculous call.

"I don't know what it is, but these refs better get their acts together," he said. "Every game we play, these guys (the referees) seem to make bad calls."

That "bad call" allowed the Cadets to take a 1-0 lead into the se­cond half.

"We tried to get up for the second half, but we just couldn't seem to do it," Ashton said.

The Falcons, on the other hand, did. Enough to knock MSC's record to 6-5.

"If you had asked me what I thought our record would be at this point, I would not have guessed it would be this good," Ashton said.

Well, Al, don't be too surprised. Yo.ur team seems to play as if Donaldson was still on the squad. Then again, maybe Lorne's spirit lurks in the penalty area. 0

that table. We can't use them if we keep them locked up, but then we can't use them if they've been stolen, either."

As a result of the - first theft, MacLachlan said that tighter control was being kept on the use of the room at the time the second theft oc­curred. Because of that, MacLachlan doubts that students from his Earth Science cllWeS are the likliest suspects, at least not ~uring regularly scheduled lab hours.

.. t .-~

·. "Somebody has to h~ve . (their own) ~ey," said ~acLachlan. _

On that assumption, Earth Sciences secretary Beverly Costa placed a work order to have new locks installed in the lab following the discovery of the first theft. Ac- ·

.,.. cording to Costa, the work, which - would be done by the Physical Plant, ~ has taken much longer than she.ex-~ pected.

"At first, I was told ·the replace- . ment would take about a week," she said, "but that was a misunderstan- · · <Ung. That went from one week to two, then three." Now in the fourth week, Costa said the Physical Plant has assured her that the locks will be installed this week.

Physical Plant Manager Jim Fasano explained that the locks had not been changed earlier because of the volume of work orders received by his office, and because of the for­mal bureaucratic process such re­quests must go through.

"I have thousands of these (work orders) and I don't have the time, nor do my people have the time, to check up on every little thing," said Fasano. "I can't proceed until they (the MSC Business Office) approve the funds."

There Is speculation that the scales were stolen to weigh dru~.

"The scales have to have been ~ stolen by someone who realizes their value to drug dealers. As many as have been stolen, they are certainly being-sold," said MacLachlan.

/ -

MacLachlan said that roughly one month ago two people claiming to be students were discovered by a stu~ dent assistant in the back room' "weighing a white substance." MacLachlan said that the two in­sisted they were UCO students work­ing on a lab, but that when they were questioned about the specifics of the lab "they obviously didn't know what they were talking about." The two disappeared after the assistant went to ·get help.

MacLachliin said he hoped that Earth Sciences could get more such student assistants in the future, to help monitor the equipment when the lab is in use.

In the meantime, MacLachlan said that students in some geology classes will not be getting the knowledge they paid for, because without the scales no lab work can be performed.-

"Several of our classes are run on the basis of the student's ability to perform scientific problems using the scales," he said. "Even if we had the funding, it could take six months to get a supplier out here with new ones." D
