Auraria Chief Moves

On by Bob Haas

Citing the opportunity to do for community colleges what he did for Auraria, AHEC's executive director will become the first president of a newly formed system which will oper­ate the state's community colleges and vocational schools.

Jerry Wartgow announced during a Monday press conference that he will begin his new duties as head of the Community College and Occupational Education system October 15.

"The board (for community colleges and occupational education) has given me the opportunity to go out and do what I love to do, to do what we did at Auraria, which is to do things that peo­ple say can't be.done," Wartgow said.

Raymond "Buzz" Wilder, chairman of the board, told reporters Monday that the board's decision to create a unified system to operate both com­munity colleges and occupational education programs "may be the most significant decision regarding educa­tion in Colorado to be made in the last ten years."

"The community colleges are the answer to the economic situation in Colorado," Wartgow said. "We can go

\

out and help attract business and industry by providing trained people

and services that industry will require. The emphasis has been on the high end of high tech. That's a much longer and slower pay-off. Community colleges can off er vocational competence and services much more quickly."

Expressing pride in his accom­plishments at Auraria, Wartgow said, "It's time for somebody new, with fresh ideas. I knew I couldn't be there for ever."

Deputy executive director for AHEC James Schoemer will serve in the inte­rim until a permanent executive direc­tor is selected.

Birthday Bash

In September of 1965, Metro­politan State College opened its doors to individuals who wanted a college education but did not fit the traditional student role.

The original campus was located at 250West14th Avenue. It was moved in 1976 to the pres­ent Auraria site to share facilities with CCD and UCD. Indeed MSC has grown up - from 4,500 students in 1969 to the present 14,500 students.

Metro students have a reputa­tion to be proud of. They are perceived as "more serious stu­dents" or "knowing what they want" by Denver area employ­ers. This is probably a product of necessity as many MSC students have a full-time job or a family to support and need to make the most of their time .

On Saturday, September 27th, at 6 p.m. in the Student Center, Metro students and the Denver community can join the fun to celebrate this opportunistic insti­tution's 21st Anniversary. Admis­sion to the gala party is $5 for students (with I.D.'s) and $10 for the general public.

Not only will there be a party but a proclamation. On Wednes­day, September 24th, Governor Richard Lamm will proclaim September 27th through October 6th as "Metropolitan State Col­lege 21st Anniversary Week."

The proclamation will take place in the Governor's Office with Frank Kemp, Alan Dines and Palmer Burch present. The three co-sponsored the bill which formed MSC in 1965. Roy Romer, Democratic nominee for gover­nor and primary senate sponsor of the bill, will also be present, along with MSC President Paul Magelli.

Tickets for the party can be purchased in advance at Datatix outlets, The 16th Street Mall Bus, and MSC Student Activities or call 556-4833.

Auraria power-hitter leaves a better campus

by Bob Haas

The Auraria Campus is crowded with bureaucracy. From the state.

-11 From the school administrations. From the faculty, students and staff.

Since 1978, it has been Auraria's director - Jerry Wartgow - who has waded through the bureaucracy, has achieved remarkable productiv-

• ity, and, no small feat, has gained widespread respect.

'Tm very proud of the things we've accomplished in the eight years I've been at Auraria," Wartgow said.

Accomplishments? How hard can ~ it be to water the grass and keep the

parking lots paved? "In the first month after I came to

Auraria in 1978, (from the director­ship of the CCHE), I began working on closing the Lawrence and Larimer

~ St. viaducts," Wartgow explained. "The first thing we had to do was get theColfaxviaductconstructed.Wepushed for a highway tax force. I was a member on that."

Closing the Lawrence and Larimer viaducts, two major arteries in and

t. out of downtown, involved more than putting up some rubber cones and erecting a detour sign.

"We had to work with downtown business interests," Wartgow said. "They wanted a straight line from the

). . highway to their businesses. We had to deal with the city administrations of two mayors. Plus, " Wartgow laughed, "we had to fight off the influx of alot of silly ideas. Some­

body wanted to dig a tunnel for (Law-rence St. traffic) and build pedestrian

f bridges over it." Wartgow paused. "Can you imagine that?"

"I have a lot of blood and sweat in the viaduct project," Wartgow said. "When I look back at Auraria, the viaduct will be my most enduring

"' project. It's going to give the campus cohesion - solidify it."

Once the two viaducts are closed (Larimer St. scheduled to be shut down before Jan. 1, 1987, Lawerence St before Jan 1, 1988) the tri-insti-

,. tutional campus will be radically different than when Wartgow arrived in 1978. And the nonsensical, dangerous darting through Lawrence St. traffic to get from classes to the Student Center will be over, will be replaced by grassy knolls and leisurely strolls.

~- This suggests the second of Wartgow's accomplishments: the -construction of UCD's replacement building. If the Lawrence St. traffic rushing through campus is dangerous, students crossing Speer Blvd. is

, insane. "Sooner or later someone was

going to be killed," Wartgow said. "The East Classroom is clearly very hazardous.

"It was terribly tough to finance (the new building)," Wartgow said.

/ "Just convincing legislators of the need was difficult. We had to do a lot of creative financing."

Not only is the East classroom poorly

Jerry Wartgow is moving on.

located, it is outdated as well. "It is inadequate to house state of

the art engineering programs," Wart­gow said. "There's no room for any more equipment. The cost of security and maintenance are terribly high."

So Wartgow, impressively busting the bureaucracy, begins construction on a new building.

Bingo. Bureaucracy busting seems to be

his trademark. Wartgow laughed at the suggestion.

"I enjoy accomplishing my goals," he said. And including the Tivoli retail renovation, Wartgow said, "All three of my initial goals are finished or near that.

"The Tivoli Brewery was a dilapitated nuisance," Wartgow explained. "It was costing a lot to keep it boarded up, and we didn't have the money to tear it down."

Again, Bingo.

It is this dynamic success which so interested the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupation­al Education. They created a new system which will consolidate the state's community colleges with occupational and vocational education.

On September 12 the board unanimously elected Wartgow as the system's first president.

"I see in this new position the same things I saw when I came to Auraria," Wartgow said. "When I left the CCHE, people asked me why I was coming down to Auraria, just a bunch of buildings? We could have sat back and simply ran the place, but we built, and made it exciting. The new system for community colleges and occupational education is an oppor­tunity to do the same thing. We can develop an array of programs that

will make an economic difference in Colorado."

Wartg~w's programs have certainly made a difference on the Auraria Campus.

'Tm particularly proud of stream­lining campus management," he said. "The grounds are much improved, the 9th Street Park is truly an oasis in Denver. We've been able to do these things within the operating budget of running the campus.

"Auraria is truly a nice place to be."

Jerry Wartgow is a gracious dynamo with a golden touch.

"I feel good about much of what we've done,'' he said. 'Tm hoping that people I respect feel good about me and the job I've done."

And then like bureaucracy meshing with productivity, Wartgow's honesty meshes with his humility.

"I think they do," he said. D

Watch what you say

Robert Davis Editor

Don't you dare say it. Non-traditonaL Oops. I said it. We're not supposed to use that word anymore. Prez Paul

Magelli says non-traditional is nasty and negative and some­thing about what we're not but what we are but what we're not. What?

We're new-age, he says. It's his latest campaign. Whether it's a speech to the college

community, all-clubs day or a media briefing the message is the same:

Don't you dare say it. . It's negative - or something. Anyway, new-age is better.

. This should all be interesting when the debate starts up in the Capitol this year. The people who decided to start Metro and those who've protected it from hungry regents will have to do­some editing of the laws.

Seems all through the books that word is there. They've always wanted that word there. They feel non­

traditonal means older student and that means Metro. They feel those students' rights should be protected.

Where is that protection? A lot of legislators knocked heads last year in hopes of figur­

ing out what Metro should and could be. They decided it should be available for the non-traditionals and concentrate on inexpensive-easy-access schooling.

They just better not use that language around Prez Paul. "This school is for everybody," they might say. "Especially

the non-traditional students." And boy will they get it. "Don't you dare say it!" Haven't you heard? We're new-age. We don't like that other

word, we like new-age. Whatever that means. It may just mean not that other word.

Maybe if we work really hard to not say that word people will forget about that silly old word. Maybe they1l take it out of the laws and we can really be new-age - legally.

Maybe people will frown on that word and they won't care as much who's protected and who's not.

Maybe they won't notice the change. Oh this is silly Orwellian imagination. Don't get so excited.

We're just calling it something different.

Women's volleyball opens with promise, w~ns by Joseph Ross

The MSC women's volleyball team opened its season Friday by beating Western State College 15-17, 15-7, 15-6, 18-16.

The victory celebration ended Sat­urday, though, in Grand Junction as

' Mesa College defeated the Roadrun­ners 15-9, 13-15, 15-9, 15-10 and Kear­ney State College pounded the women 15-2, 15-9, 15-6.

Coach Pat Johnson said the 6 a.m. roadtrip between Gunnison and Grand Junction was partially to blame for the

"I think the travel caught up with

parking games not worth it

by Robert Davis

If you're thinking about messing with the parking people, think again.

Their tactics and rules and 1ega1 rights' will only leave you frustrated to the point of violence. I watched a man 'deal' with a woman who peered through bullet-proof glass and humphed and pumphed at the man's explanation until the gentleman tore the ticket in half and dropped it on the ground outside her booth.

He thought he could beat these people.

When you get your first ticket these thoughts may race through your head:

Do I pay this in the bookstore? Will they take these points off my

GPA? What to do? What to do? Then you may throw the ticket into

the glove box and start a nice collec­tion. I mean, why worry? They can't touch you academically. They have no power over your registration, gra­duation or GPA.

But they have a hidden weapon. D aru:t V towing.

H you have outstanding tickets and your car is in a campus lot you can be towed. • Then they start to get excited. They bustle around the glassed office and snicker as your car is dragged off to the pound. And it's just getting good for the parking people.

Soon you1l be screaming through the little hole in the window and they'll tell you the punch-line.

Pay up. You will have to pay every cent

you owe - which has been as much as $400 a shot - before you get the car back.

An average of five times a day they haul cars over to 14th and Osage and wait for the phone to ring.

And no checks. V1&a, MasterCard and CASH only:

So next time you toss a ticket into the box, remember - they can get you where it hurts. D

us,'' Johnson said. "We just didn't play well at all."

Inexperience and the search for the most productive combination of play­ers a1so plagued Johnson's squad, which is anchored by sophomore Corrine Donnelly.

Donnelly, who provided 16 kills (unreturned shots) against Western State, is the only returning starter from last year's team.

"Corrine had an excellent game," Johnson said. "She took advantage of their weak blocks and almost every­thing she hit went down.''

Donnelly also had four unassisted blocks in Friday's game, while fresh­man Diane Johnson had two.

Coach Johnson said her team was demoralized on Saturday after losing to Mesa.

Senior LuAnn Smidt contributed three service aces and junior Heidi Keyes was effective at the net, smash­ing six kills in 11 attempts. But service errors and a strong Mesa net attack were too much for the Roadrunners to overcome.

Kearney State's cannons were loaded for the opening match of Metro's

second game of the day. "We got wiped out in the first match,"

Johnson said of the 15-2 drubbing. The women failed to win a match

against the visiting team from Nebraska.

The Roadrunners will be tested against Division I, University of Nevada-Reno at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley on Sept. 18 at 6 p .m.

The women are scheduled to play Regis on Sept. 24 at 7:30 p .m. in the Regis Field House. D

'Clean' and 'Legal'. • • •

"Everyone is aware of the abuses in inter­collegiate athletics. This athletic program is the cleanest anywhere." -

by Robert Davis

Kurt Robinson is peeved. The 23 year old varsity basketball

player was recruited by coach Bob Hull from Long Beach, California on a full scholarship to play as a guard.

That part is going well, Robinson said.

He was also encouraged to apply for financial aid, he said, to give him some extra money. He did. And the federal student aid program found that Robinson is needy.

One of the "neediest" as a depart-

ment of education official called him. But when he went to financial aid

to pick up his check he got a surprise. "When I went to get it they asked

me to sign for it and give it back to them," Robinson said. "She (Susan McGinley) said it was something the coach and Randy (Lichtenfeld) had worked out."

Robinson was told the Pell grant, awarded him by the federal govern­ment, was to be put into the Roadrunner's Foundation to repay the money: used for his scholarship.

"He (Hull) said that money would help me out if I could get it," Robin­son said. "He said 'You'll be on a full

handle this very well." .. Hull said he's making the best of

his poor funding. But Hull denied Robinson's version.

"No one was told anything other than they could get a full scholar­ship," Hull said. "It's kind of unfair to take Pell monies and give half (the atheletes) that money on top of scholarships."

But Victoria Trip, special assistant to the secretary of the Department of Education in Washington D.C. said the 'fairness' is questionable.

"What they've done is essentially

"Because we're not fully funded we can't put all our players on scho­larships,'' Hull said. "We ask all our players to apply for financial aid ... We're trying to get as many kids help ~ as possible. We take that money and put it in the general fund."

Hull says the arrangement is rou­tine and Robinson is still getting his money.

"That money is applied to his scho- • larship," Hull said.

"It's unorthodox. But they can do it. The school ;ust didn't handle this very well."

taken his scholarship away," she observed.

Trip said since the scholarship paid for Robinson's tuition - which is what Pelis are intended for - they can legally take that money and repay themselves, if Robinson approves.

Since the award is based on Robin­son's need and awarded to him the school "can't touch that Pell grant" unless the athelete lets them, Trip said.

Trip said while the school has the right to try and take the Pell, it's not comn:ionly practiced.

"It's unorthodox,'' she said. "But they can do it. The school just didn't

Cheryl Judson, director of financial aid, said 137 of the 2,500 students receiving aid last year were athletes.

"That's just a littie baby piece of pie," Judson said. "It doesn't even register on the Richter scale."

Whatever the college-wide impli­cations, Robinson says he doesn't have food to eat on the weekends.

As a scholarship athlete Robinson signs for three meals a day in the Student Center cafeteria. After hours he goes hungry. ·

"Coach told me I should get extra food from the cafeteria and wrap it up and take it home on Fridays," Robinson said. o

Reader calls Met boring Editor

Wednesday, September 10th was all clubs day on campus. The speech given by Dr. Magelli was interesting and encouraging as it displayed his continuing support for campus clubs and organizations, especially those promoting the "non-traditional" aspect of Metro life and education.

Obviously this topic is current event material and deserves some attention by a "news" -paper.

After thumbing through another boring issue of the Metropolitan I wonder when this idea will eventually sink in to your editors.

Instead of another "tongue-in-cheek" editorial or story that is too vague to address any issue, why not cover more things students are interested in? A good place to begin is activities student (sic) are participating in.

Now I see that you've covered your sports obligation, and your own interest area (Peter Boyles) and included another heart warming about our troubled world (sic). Where are the stories that really interest me? Like, where is the best place for inexpensive good beer or what is AHEC doing with all their money, why isn't there any healthy food available on this campus?

What's the birthday party they're charging us to go (sic)? Sounds like a scam, invite your guests but tell them to bring money?

I'm in the dark. I want to know these things; I'll bet your readers do too.

Marc Chenot

Student wonders

'What it means'

Editor Who the hell are these CA USA people, anyway, and what are they doing

on our campus? One of them stopped me as I was on my way to class the other day and

asked if I would take a short survey. I said "sure," but as I looked at his questionnaire, I could see that this was no survey. It looked more like a petition, and was nothing I ,could sign in good conscience.

Unfortunately, at the time, I was just irritated, and did not take the time to find out more about the organization, or to copy down his questions.

As near as I can recall now, the first one was something like "I am in favor of God-centered, moral legislation." I said, "What does this mean?" He said, "Well, you know what 'God centered' means, don't you?"

"I think I have some idea what that might mean, but what about the rest of it? You mean we should have some sort of official religious group making laws for us?" I asked.

"Well, more than that really-" he said. I waited, but he had no more to say.

I shuddered in disbelief and hurried on to class. So what's going on here, anyway? Is the Ayatollah Khomeini running for

some local office or something? Marvin Ratzlaff

Protect your car; take a miriute for safety

by Joseph Ross

Install an alarm in your car, be sure the doors are locked and be happy the first few weeks of school have ended.

During September, five cars report­edly had property removed, two were stolen and one had its doors kicked in on the Auraria Campus.

The beginning of the fall semester is always the busiest time of year for the Auraria Public Safety office, accord­ing to Lolly Ferguson, technical ser­vices division manager.

Ferguson suggested the reasons problems occur are that many high school-age people are not yet back in school and that warm weather pro­motes street problems.

Students are more preoccupied with finding parking and new classes, which leads to unlocked cars and careless­ness, Ferguson said.

Not all thefts are reported, she said, because people feel it won't matter or they do not want to take the time.

"We encourage people to report ... we want to be in the forefront of the problem."

Most problems occur in the extreme north and south parking lots where

fewer people are. Auraria has 14 commissioned offic­

ers who carry guns, but only one to five of the officers are on duty during a shift. They are assisted by unarmed guards and student guards numbering between one and three per shift.

The commissioned officers file cor­responding reports with the Denver Police Department and are sometimes assisted by the DPD is solving cases.

No crimes against people have been reported in September, and Ferguson said, "Overall we have a very low crime rate compared to the neighbor­hood and other urban campuses."

She said the Public Safety office is attempting to hire a student peace officer, similar to a commissioned officer.

"A student officer would benefit the students and us," she said. "We need to get a pulse of what's happening on campus."

Another officer might increase the chance of catching thieves, but prose­cuting them remains a problem.

"It is difficult with juveniles because they need to be discovered a number of times before the courts can do any­thing," Ferguson said. D

The news Illay be a phone call away Receiving grades over the telephone

may soon be a reality for Metro stu­dents.

According to Ken Curtis, MSC Dean of Admissions and Records, it is possi­ble that by the end of this semester students will be able to use the MSC telephone system to find out their grades.

Curtis said that if everything goes according to plan, the service will be in operation for students by the end of this semester. It will not replace the mailing of grades, but act as a supple­mental service for students.

"What this service will do is give students the opportunity to find out what their grades are immediately after teachers have turned them in," Curtis said.

"Official transcripts will still be mailed out," he said. "But this will give students the opportunity to find out their grades right away. Nobody will have to wait the weeks it takes for their grades to come out in the mail."

Currently, the logistics of the service are being worked out.

"Our major concern is ensuring each student's privacy," Curtis said. "To utilize the phone system, all you need is a student I.D. number and their per­sonal access code."

Though the school does not give this information out, Curtis said students' privacy cannot be insured.

To eliminate the problem of infor­mation being given out, Curtis said

students requesting privacy will be excluded from the service.

"The program should be a good benefit to every student," Curtis said.

-

"It will be another benefit of the tele­phone system we've installed." o

Just another Friday night A fraternity fund raiser at the Mission

last Friday night erupted into several arguments and fights that took six Pub­lic Safety officers an hour to control, according to a Public Safety report.

Lolly Ferguson, technical manager of Public Safety said after the Mission had served over 1,500 glasses of beer during the Alpha Eta Rho fund raising dance, a series of eight fights broke out, both in and outside of the Mission.

No charges were filed and no injur­ies or damages were reported.

A chronology of the incident is as fol­lows, according to Public Safety.

10:30: Three arugments broke out and a table was broken.

10:45: Two .officers were dis­patched to assist the officer previously assigned to monitor the event.

10:51: Four men started another fight and were escorted out of the Mission.

10:52: The four men re-entered the Mission and started another fight that was broken up by Public Safety offi­cers.

10:53: Two women began fighting and were ushered outside. Four more officers were dispatched.

10:57: Officers ordered the beer service stopped, the lights turned up and the dance ended. At this point, the patrons chanted, "Hell no, we won't go."

11:10: The crowd dispersed. 11 :11: Two officers broke up

another fight at Eighth and Lawrence. 11 :15: Five officers were dis­

patched to investigate a report of three men beating on one man on the north east side of the Arts buiding. The men were dispersed.

11 :30: An unidentified person involved in the fighting jumped the curb of parking lot G and left without paying.

11:35: The campus quieted down. Steve Wilcox, manager of the Mis­

sion, said the incidents were nothing to be concerned about.

"There was just one little fight," he said.

F orrrier quarterback promotes book by David Sneed

A snake slithered into the Auraria Book Center last Monday afternoon, drawing quite a crowd.

The famous former Oakland Raider quarterback, Ken 'The Snake" Stabler, came to autograph and promote his

new book, aptly dubbed Snake, in one of 14 nationwide stops.

Stabler said he likes to be in the mainstream of football fans and this is an attempt to pay tribute to them.

"My book is a candid documenta­tion of my years with the Raiders .. .. I told it like it was,'' he said in a soft, assertive voice.

Admirers came loaded with various comments ranging from a reminiscent "You made it fun for us," to a hostile "My Mom loved to hate you."

The Snake just seemed to take it in stride, replying, "I had a lot of fun doing it."

Stabler has changed since his Raider days. He no longer poses a threat to defensive backs and football fans, who in the past lived in fear of his tactful schemes and wicked left-handed passes.

He shaved the beard that hung spar­sely out of his chin strap and his hair slowly progressed to a soft white. The black and grey jersey was exchanged for a white sportcoat, but the 1976 Super Bowl ring still gleams along with his hopeful smile.

Stabler gained a reputation with a few other notable Raiders on and off the field - namely John Matuzak, Fred Biletnikoff and Ted Hendricks.

"Boys will be boys," Stabler said with a youthful grin. "We were a uni- . que group of individuals that had a responsibility to each other. If I had it to do over agaiQ, rd start tomorrow."

He said he stays in touch with his old teammates, but he's busy getting ready "to raise kids."

The Snake keeps up with the game, although he declares himself an "arm chair fan," now. He plans to start a broadcasting career this fall, and said he picks Denver to win the AFC if Elway can stay strong.

Stabler passed on some experience: "Be as individual as you can. Don't let the outside influence you because you only get one shot." ·

Who said aging snakes lose their venom? D

Muddys Moves to Paris

by Pieter Van Court

Caffeine is no stranger to the college student, but finding a good cup of it can be difficult, especially after hours. Since the closing of Muddy Waters On the Platte, a cup of specialty brew after midnight has been elusive.

But wait, Muddys is back, or should we say Paris on the Platte.

Though the name bas changed, it's still the same Muddys we all knew and loved before. For those of you who didn't know or love the Muddys before, here's your chance to catch up. Don't miss out, there is no other quite the same.

The new cafe is operated on the same premise as before. Paris on the Platte is still a non-alchoholic establishment offering coffee and a variety of delightful morsels till 4:00 a.m. each and every day.

As well as the the eats and drinks, there are the books - books stacked all the way up to the twenty foot ceil­ing. The books are for sale, but are also there to be pulled down and read while you feast on a pastry or bagel with cream cheese and tomato.

If reading isn't your deal, then perhaps a game of chess or back­gammon, and if that doesn't do it then sit back and enjoy the music - a bit of it all - classical, jazz and blues.

There are some changes at Paris, such as the art that covers the walls. This art should never get boring as it will be changed once a month, allowing many local artists to show and sell their wares.

The man behind all this is an old veteran in the coffeehouse/bookstore business. Jeff Maguire, the owner and manager of Paris has been at it awhile. He owned the old Zodiac coffeehouse of a dozen years ago, and he pretty much ran the show at Muddys for its previous life.

Muddys was owned by five people, none of whom could agree on much of anything. Now one owner, with more than a good idea on how to make things work, will do it his way.

''I've upgraded the menu and ambience of Muddys," says Maguire of the new Paris.

Maguire explained the name change this way. "The old name Muddys has been around quite awhile and with the new caf e I felt a new name was appropriate. Coffeehouses have been around for 300 years and began predominantly in Europe. My wife is from Paris, so I decided on Paris as the new name.

"When I was in high school there was an old cqffeehouse I frequented as a place to study. I think this is a great place to do the homework, write in the journal, drink some good coffee, and not be disturbed all the while.

"What we've done here is to keep the old Muddys feel, but improve on the decor, ambience and efficiency of Muddys."

If you never went to Muddys, here's

your chance to read, to listen, to play chess while drinking some delicious coffee until 4:00 a.m. If you're an artist, here's your chance to show and sell your wares. If you're a student, here's your chance to study till the wee hours in pleasant surroundings with plenty of Java to keep you alert.

And if you're an old Muddys fan, here it is. finally returned. Nothing else need be sai~ for you.

Maguire will open the doors on Sat­urday, September 20th. He has plans for a grand opening a few weeks after that, once "everything is up and running." His invitation list for the grand opening will include all those friends who signed a petition last fall to keep Muddys open. For the Muddy Faithful of the Platte, Paris is back. D

Tough teachers talk technique ''You get more out of a student

if you have a subjective exam." - Dr. Warren Weston

by Lucy Stolzenburg

A semester's worth of course work can be as varied as the seasons. -

One class has all the demands of a spring day while another requires the perseverance of a mailman in a bliz-zard.

Tough classes haunt our memory long after semester's end. Answers to missed test questions have been known to make guest appearances in dreams.

Three Metro instructors who are reputed to be tough teachers - Dr. Robert Schneider, Dr. Warren Weston and Pat Stark - were asked to com­ment on their teaching philosophies, teaching trends and why students might consider their classes more demanding than most.

Dr. Schneider presides over upper­division classes in experimental psy­chology. One class he teaches has struck fear in the hearts of students for decades just by the mention of its name: statistics. But Dr. Schneider says he likes to teach statistics because most students are so frightened initially and then realize the course is not a mystery.

"Some are shocked they like it so much," he says. "If I'm able to conquer that fear and cause them to learn, it is a great pleasure."

Sitting in the closet-sized office he shares with another professor, he admits that he gives difficult exams.

"Exams are supposed to distinguish between those who know and those who don't," Schneider says.

The courses he teaches are geared toward preparing students for gradu­ate school.

He says that MSC has one of the strongest undergraduate psychology programs in the country. Sttidents who

do go on to graduate school tell Schneider they are better prepared ·than other first-year graduate stu­dents.

Like Dr. Schneider, Pat Stark gives tough tests.

In fact, the marketing instructor will

Looking at trends in teaching, Stark says there's been a movement toward tougher grading in the last 10 years.

"Employers often tell me that C stu­dents make better employees than the 4.0s,'' she says.

Unfortunately, Stark has seen some students so concerned with grades that

with all A's and B's, but the easy grad­ing policy devalued a diploma. In the tradition of a true marketing teacher, she calls the practice "gradeflation."

Today, most college grading is done on a curve. But that can be a problem too.

give the C's an A?" Stark asks. Another reputed tough tester, politi­

cal science professor Dr. Warren Weston, gives essay exams in his 101 American National Government class.

The practice, he says, shows more of what a student has learned than a mul­tiple choice or true/false exam.

"You get more out of a student if you have a subjective exam," he says. "You can spot if someone doesn't know how to read and write."

Weston says he tries to guide stu­dents to the remedial reading program if they have problems.

Speaking with the softest of South­ern accents, the instructor is surprised his teaching is considered tough.

"You don't know you're rigorous," he says. "Most teachers don't have a way of comparing."

Still, Weston says he has a high drop­out rate after the first exam in his 101 class, and he's not sure why.

"They don't request an NC, and they don't come in for help. They just drop,'' he says. He encourages students to ask for help and-even gives them his home phone number. Some do call him.

"Unfortunately, those that need help most don't come in for it," Weston said.

All three instructors think there will always be students who are willing to work hard and those who aren't.

But the returning, non-traditional students often stand out because of their motivation. These students may lack initial confidence and feel over­whelmed by unfamiliar course work, but their experience in the "real world" gives them the background to tackle tough classes and overcome their fears.

OnCa1npUS Jazz escape appreciated

by J. Johnson

A little jazz, a little instrumental pop and a lot of improvising captured the attention of people strolling in the area of the Student Center Friday.

Dotsero, formerly New Shoes, Sneakers, and a f ~w other names, offered students a couple of festive hours in music land.

Inspirational tunes a,ff orded each lis­tener a brief escape from the tedium of classes and studying, and eased the frustrations of Friday blues.

The band played songs with a good beat and fast pace, and encouraged the audience to participate.

The show, though not publicized well, still managed to draw a fair crowd of music buffs.

"I think this is great," said student Beverly Maes. "It's contagious."

Apparently the oral route of public­izing events served the purpose the Student Activity Center hoped for.

"We tried flyers and advertising in the Metropolitan, but none of those methods have proven any more sue-

cessful than word of mouth," Alan Chimento, president of student activi­ties, said.

Another student, John McGlinn, said he heard the music while entering the library.

Chimento said there would be other performances and most of the public­ity would still be handled the way this one was.

Dotsero's performance was just one of the end-of-the-week respites pres­ented by the Student Activity Center since the fall semester started.

Most of the people said they appre­ciated the show and thought the plaza was an appropriate place to hold this and future events.

"This is a good time to have things like this," McGlinn said. "I don't think they would be as successful if it wasn't the end of the week. Plus it shows peo­ple how some of their student fees money is spent."

The show lasted.approximately two hours and ended on a high note of con­tentment for both the performers and the audience. D

_Girl roadrunners kicking • • • by-Robert Ritter

Last week the women's soccer team won their first games of the season and in between the victories, managed to make history.

On Wednesday, they beat the Colo­rado School of Mines 12-0.

Friday, coach Ed Montojo found out the Roadrunners are ranked eighth in the NCAA Divisions I and II Central Region (there are four regions nation­wide). It is the first time the women have ever attained a national ranking.

Then on Sunday, the women de­feated the Air Force Academy 4-0, outshooting the Falcons 38-5.

Montojo described the game against the School of Mines as a "shooting practice" for his team.

"We didn't allow one shot on goal against the Mines," he said. "We out­shot them 78-0 and were very dominant." "We were also very dominant against the Falcons," he said. "In the first half, they crossed midfield only twice and only made one shot on goal."

Even after having outscored their opponents 16-1 and outshot them 117-5, the Roadrunners can still improve, Montojo said.

"We have a very strong defense, stronger than last year, and eventually the offense will come around," he said.

Metro is now 2-1 in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League. They play Western State Col­lege this Sunday at the Auraria field at lp.m. D

Metrosphere showi·ng our stars by Carol Buck

The editorial staff of Metrosphere, MSC's award-winning literary maga­zine, is soliciting manuscripts for its 1987 -88 issue.

Included in this issue will be the fin­est poetry, ficton, non-fiction, original art and photography submitted by Metro students, faculty and alumni as well as submissions from artists and writers world-wide.

Interviews with Bob Palmer of Channel 4; Eugenia Rawls, world­famous stage actress; Gene Amole, Rocky Mountain News columnist; and Arvada novelist William Dieter will also be featured.

Jim Stevens and Iris Porter, both MSC students, serve as the magazine's editors. Their staff consists of Metro students enrolled in a two-semester, upper-division English course taught by Robert J. Pugel, professor of English.

"The magazine's purpose is to pro­vide an educational opportunity for our students to have the actual expe­rience of working on a magazine," Pugel said. "Secondly, (the purpose is) to provide a showcase of the literary and artistic talents of the Metropolitan State College community."

Submissions from MSC students, faculty and alumni will be emphasized in this upcoming issue, Porter said.

"We would like to increase the per­centage of Metro submissions from 70 to 75 percent last issue, to about 90 per-

cent this issue," she said. Porter also said that a contest for the

magazine's cover art will be announced soon, probably in October.

The office of admissions and records presents copies of Metrosphere to all upper-level high school English teachers in Colorado to encourage their brightest students to enroll at MSC, Monica Simons, an MSC employee and member of the magazine's student staff, said.

Metrosphere is also included as part of an "accomplishment packet" pres­ented to trustees of Colorado state col­leges, Pugel said.

Copies of Metrosphere's 1986-87 issue are now on sale for $3.00 at the Auraria Book Center, the Convenience Store, the MSC English department and the Tattered Cover book store.

Copies of the magazine, available for reading, are located in the Auraria library and the Student Center.

Writers and artists interested in having their work considered for pub­lication in the magazine should send queries and manuscripts, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Metrosphere, Metropolitan State Col­lege, Department of English, Box 32, Denver, Colorado, 80204.

The cut-off date for submission for the up~oming issue will be at the end of this semester, but Porter emphas­ized that pieces should be submitted as soon as possible.

Outer space course takes students to Martian colony

by Scott Moore solely dependent upon its popularity.

For the first time ever, MSC students are being offered a trek through space, to witness firsthand the rockets and stars, to boldly go where no student has gone before.

And if that turns out anything like the one started at Oregon State Univer­sity- - which Paynter has patterned the class after - the results could be out of this world.

For Howard Paynter, professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology at MSC, it is a chance to pilot what he believes can become the hottest course on campus - Rockets and Stars: a Space Trek.

The focus of the class will be on space exploration, as well as the latest technology of equipment, and is design­ed for non-engineering and non­science majors as well as any student that has difficulty passing science courses.

Although the course, which is taught primarily by space e<'perts, is an omni­bus class, Paynter said its future is

Perea/from p. a

The Senate did reach a quorum last Tuesday, and Perea was re-instated as a SACAB member, as was Ben Boltz. In addition, several senators were impeached and Brendan Kelly and Laur Anna "Missey" Williams were appointed as voting senators.

Perea said he was impressed with the efficiently run meeting, but his re­appointment will not change his plans for restitution.

"Basically, I was quite impressed with today's Senate meeting," but, "I want to pursue the accusations made against me," he said.

Perea said he chose Affirmative Action to help him in this matter because the Judicial Board, at the present time, has only one member, and he didn't feel justice would be served. ·

The meeting, scheduled for Sept. 30, will include an Affirmative Action representative, Perea, Gerhart, Majeres, Vice President of Student Affairs Antonio Esquibel, Assistant Vice Pres­ident of Student Affairs David Conde, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Roberta Smilnak and MSC President Paul Magelli.

Perea said intercollegiate athletics may be the root of the problem.

"I think that's where (the opposition to the SACAB position) stems from," he said. "This whole athletics issue has been a pain in my crotch ever since it was introduced, and you can quote me on that."

Gerhart said he is pro-athletics, as is Magelli.

"Athletics is one part of the educa­tional experience at MSC which helps. build a well-rounded person," Gerhart said.

Majeres said Perea's CCHE position could be harmful to the intercollegiate athletics program at Metro.

"He can get CCHE to shut down Metro's athletic program," he said.

In response to this, Perea said he acts on behalf of the students, not accord­ing to his opinions.

"My personal position doesn't mat­ter. I've been appointed to represent the students of Colorado. I rely on stu­dent governments (for information on the students' opinions), and AS MSC has not responded." ·

Perea said he is disappointed in Ger­hart and Majeres.

"This clearly indicates to me that both Mark and Mike .. . are only out to serve their interests and not what they were elected for." D
