Words work when the world is grey by Bob Haas

The photographer left for the mountains in the afternoon, his clunk­ing station wagon packed with sophisticated camera equipment.

The photographer sought that one elusive photo that would do for the colors of the aspen what Shakespeare

did for the movements of the soul. He wanted to make the aspen real "Look at the clouds," he com­

plained. "Flat. Everything's flat. Aspen need sunshine." He was depressed. "Lousy clouds," he saiq.

There was a writer along for the ride, for the aspen, and for the company.

~A Piece A Pizza Aplenty When you need to appease a pizza appetite, how many pieces a pizza are appropriate?

It depends on the portion proportions of the pizza. ·

If it's Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza­thick, crunchy, chewy, cheesy, saucy Pan Style Pizza-a piece a person, in other words, a piece apiece is probably appropriate.

That's why Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza is available by the slice: That satisfying sizeable (1 /2 lb.) single serving size.

Whether you come call at our counter or drive through our Drive­Thru, The Slice is unfailingly fresh, fast and filling; a luscious lighteninglike lunch; always available almost instantly.

So, when you need to appease a pizza appetite, appease it appropriately.

With a Slice of Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza.

A piece a pizza appealingly and appropriately proportioned so that a piece a pizza apiece is pizza aplenty.

"Just tell a different story," the writer suggested. "Even though the colors and textures are flat, you still have a great story. The mist," said the writer, "see it coming down that mountain? You could make that look great, there's a lot of drama in that mist, draping the top of the mountain like it's doing." The writer's enthusi-

asm grew. "And see its effect on the aspen? Think of all the people out on the road today, looking for sun-colors of aspen. The overcast sky, the mist on that mountain, so many people disappoi~ted. It's a great story." The writer's eyes darted from mountain to photographer. "It's so human for the aspen to be hidden. It's such a perfect limb of the human foliage. Capture that on film. Get that sense of overcast disappointment. You know? The greyness. Like the mist depressing the blue crispness of all these people's desires. I love it," said the writer.

'Tve got color in the box," said the photographer. "With color film, everything will be flat, ugly. There's no shot here with color film."

"How about black and white?" "Black and white would work,"

said the photographer. "You have much more freedom to manipulate the environment with black and white."

The photographer lost himself in driving his station wagon on overcast grey highway through mist covered aspen.

"Shit," he said. And then after more silent driving,

to the writer he said, "Haven't you ever seen the autumn aspen?"

He shook his head in disgust. "Black and white," he said. "What the hell's wrong with you? You don't look at the aspen for texture or shadow or depth, you look at the aspen for color and light. Look at those aspen with grey mist and no color. Do they look mystic glistening to you? Do you see any shimmer of earth-tone rainbows? Shit," he said again. "People come all this way to be touched by dancing light on shimmering leaves. That's what I wanted, the aspen's grasp of other­world movement. All I've got here are grey-washed water strokes, an engine that's overheating and a word junkie who sees aspen as some kind of stick people painted in black and white. It's not what I wanted," the photographer said. "These clouds are ruining my story."

"That's funny," said his companion. 'Td say the clouds are the story."

"That's because words are black and white."

"Maybe, but words can make the moon purple, and can make dreary grey aspen colorful. Words can find any story."

"But it can't make them real," said the photographer. D

EveninAugustthepre-dawnairat9000 ft. holds a chill. The climber is coJ,d as he signs in at the ranger station and starts up the trail through the trees. At that time of the morning there is an absence of color and the forest is grey.

The first part of the climb gains elevation quickly, and the work is hard. The climber's legs ache and his breath is l.abor.ed. He reaches timberline and daybreak at the same time. West, towards the summit, the bowl shaped tundra field fills with sunlight.

My daddy was a travelin' man. A legend in his own time and one of

the last of the great traveling salesmen. Living was a big car with a big engine, his sunburned left arm stuck out the window, a big cigar stuck in his face and 600 miles of open road in front of him.

"My'\erritory is the seven great wes­tern states," he would holler.

At the end of the day, the territory covered, the sale made, there waited a soft bed in a roadside motel and a couple Old Crows and water.

And he was known at every Best Western Motel in every smalltown, and at every trucker's cafe along the way.

At first sighting the granite summit intimidates the climber. It looms high over Chasm Lake in the clear blue morning sky. But after three hours of steady climbing his breathing has evened out and his legs no longer ache. The climber stops at the turn off to the lake for an apple and drink of Gatorade. He feeds almonds to the roly-poly marmots who have been fattening themselves on tourist food for the coming winter. After a rest he turns north along the slow incline to the saddleback, crosses over to the back side and begins the long hard work of the boulderfield leading up to the Keyhole.

It is a horrible and humbling thing to see what cancer can do to a big man in a short time. I walked into my Dad's small Wheatridge apartment one day and confronted a shuffling skeleton. In shock, I called my brother, Dr. Dave, who was then at CU Med school, and who was monitoring my dad's condition.

"He's dying Mikey," my brother told me "He11 be gone in a week."

"No he ain't," I screamed in the phone. Not my dad - not the travelin' man.

But he was. A few days later we checked him

into nearby St. Joseph's Hospice, a wonderful and caring place for the terminally ill. After three days I had bad enough.

we are weak. I kissed my now comatose father on his bald head, told him I couldn't stand any more of this death watch business and was going out to get drunk. Maybe he heard me and hopefully he apprnved but 111 never ·know. Sometime during the night while I lay in a drunken coma of my own, the travelin' man traveled on.

By the time I got there in the morning his body was gone and by the time I figured out where my family had taken him he had already been cremat-

ed and stuck in a small bronze urn with his name engraved on the side. The memorial get-together I planned was wrecked by the freak April snowstorm we had that year and my dad was laid to rest in a corner of my brother's closet.

The last fifty vertical feet to the Keyhole were hard and the climber stopped often to rest. The sight through the Keyhole of the vast panoramic vista of the high country lifted the

climber's spirt even though he knew the hardest part of the climb was yet to come. The ridgewalk leading to the trough would test his skill, but it was the nearly vertical trough that would test his strength. He- took several minutes rest after

every ten paces in the thin air at 14000 ft. The second ridgewalk and the slwrt scramble up the rock face to the summit he accomplished on determination alone.

Sometimes we are strong and sometimes we <:ire weak. I kissed my now comatose father on his bald head, told him I couldn't stand any

more of this death wa~ch business and was going out to get drunk.

It was during the planning of a climb up Longs Peak to cap off a hard summer of beating a thirty plus year old body back into shape that the idea came to me. After getting my family's permission, I rescued my dad from his closet mausoleum and on an August morning transferred his ashes to a shat­ter proof container. I placed the con­tainer in my climbers pack along with a copy of what my dad used to call his bible - The Rubyiate of Omar Kayam.

On the Summit the afternoon storms were gathering and the climber knew he had little time. He moved to the edge overlooking the thousand foot drop to Chasm Lake and removed a · container and a book from his pack. While the gathering mists that would soon cover the summit were being blown straight up the cliff face, the climber read three verses from the book.He opened the lid of the container and with a swift left to right motion threw the contents out over the ledge.

The many bone chips fell out and then down, bouncing and skittering along the rock face. Some fell a thousand feet while others lodged in cracks and crevices where they would remain for many years. The dust and

· ashes that had once been the climber's father were caught by the wind, and being carried up and swirled once, were gone. The climber stood for awhile staring far out to the east where the sun was still shining on the plains and tht: tears finally came.

The trip back down from the summit was tough. A sudden and fierce hailstorm nearly ripped me from the face of the ridgewalk. I got rained on and lightn­inged on and I developed a nasty cramp in my left quad.

But none of that mattered. In reaching the summit of Longs

Peak I had achieved more than a phys­ical goal. I had been able to honor a man who needed and deserved honor­ing. I had been able to say what I couldn't say before.

Goodbye dad. I hope the winds blew hard that day.

So a travelin' man could once again cover his old territory.

~, I hoped the wind blew his ashes to every corner o.f those seven great · western states. C

Personal horror of hijacking

Blood, memories and media intrude by Virginia Sugihara

I found a room deep inside my fear, to hide inside until my father came home safely from Karachi.

The walls in the room trembled. But I remained still, crouched under layers of emotions.

But during the nights, when I slipped out of the room and into dreams, the sadness was suffocating. My thoughts became less medicinal and a lot more horrible.

I thought about what Dad had been through and I created closeup views of the plane's blood-slicked aisle floors and bloody everything else that could have been bloodied.

And I was afraid, for Dad and the family.

I was afraid that I would look at my.father's face and see a change in him too foreign for me to understand.

What I really wanted was to steal the 15~ hours that my father had spent as a hostage on Flight 73 and slice each dirty memory into unrec­ognizable bits so that my dad could be an innocent again, a person who would never have to spend three days splattered with the blood of murdered acquaintances.

It was on Friday, September 5th, after his escape, when Mom called my office to tell me about Dad's

ordeal. She told me she had bad news and good news:

"The bad news is that Daddy was on that hijacked Pan Am jet," she said.

"Oh my God, ohmy God, oh my God."

"The good news is that he's okay." I don't remember much about the

rest of the conversation, just that Dad was at a hotel in Karachi, his clothes

·covered with blood, someone else's blood.

I hung up the phone, shaky but relieved, and covered my face with my hands. Dad was okay. He just needed a warm shower, I told myself, and some rest.

I continued working through the afternoon, and thought about the triv­ial things that needed to be done that night; grocery shopping, packing for an upcoming move ...

It wasn't until I got into my car to go home that I realized I needed to see Mom, that she might have needed to see me.

I tried to call her from my child­ren's Westminster daycare center, but someone from Channel 4 answered instead.

"She's in the middle of an inter­view." he told me. "But if it's really important . .. "

"Oh no, no ... " "Yeah," he said. "We're going to

make your mom a star." Why hadn't I thought about what

the media would do with this? I really needed to get home, but at 1-70 and Quebec the rushhour traffic was at a standstill.

When I finally got to Mam's there were about 6 media people, the last hangers-on, I was told, of a day-long stampede. ·

Mom stood in the yard with neigh­bors while a Denver Post photo­grapher shot pictures.

Earlier, the scene had been much different, I was told.

According to Mom, at the height of the blitz, camera trucks and other media vehicles were parked all the way up the long winding driveway and halfway up the hill and curious neighbors had gathered around the front yard, while mom, laden with mic;:rophones and trailing wires, fielded questions.

Everything went smoothly, Mom said, until Patti arrived.

Patti, a neighbor's English Spaniel, saw this wonderful grouping of her most favorite things in the world, human beings, and hurled herself into the midst of it, tearing the micro­phone off mom's dress and tangling herself in the multitude of cords. And

after they untangled her, Patti did it again, so while one television person interviewed Mom, the others took turns holding Patti.

Needless to say, Mom needed to be alone that night.

She went out to dinner with a friend - location unknown. ·

I stayed home and answered the phone, and answered the phone and answered the phone.

On Saturday, the pressure was tak­ing its toll. When the phone stopped ringing' for about 10 minutes, Mom was convinced that there must be something wrong with it, ·so she kept picking it up and putting it down and picking it up and putting it down.

"I couldn't stop myself," she said. On Sunday, at 8:37 p.m., Dad

walked out of the plane and into the glare of Denver's media.

"There he is. There he isl" They shouted.

He hugged my brothers while Mom and I squeezed our way through the flesh and metal barricade · of the media.

Then I saw his face, a pale, tired face.

He had tripped into calamity and survived. But his eyes were so sad. They stared at me, beckoned me, needed me.

"It was a close one," he whispered - then he held us. o

Costa Rica plight discussfj by S. J. Baldwin

The influx of 100,000-250,000 Nica­raguan refugees is brining economic destabilization and disease into the poor Central American country of Costa Rica, U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica Lewis Tambs said Tuesday even­ing at St. Cajetan's Center.

The immigration has caused the reintroduction of typhoid, malaria and Hansen's disease and a reorganization of the country's health programs, Tambs told a group of about fifty people.

Costa Rica, a small, democratic country bordered by Panama and Nicaragua, lacks the industry to sup­port the burden of refugees, he said.

With a population of two and a half million, the country produces "des­sert'' crops, such as coffee, cashews, cut flowers and cacao, the ambassadoil said.

Although "investment is what Costa Rica needs," foreigners are reluctant to invest in Costa Rica because of Nica­ragua's policy of "revolution without frontiers," Tambs said.

In 1979 Costa Rica supported the, Sandinista overthrow of the Somoza regime in Nicaragua because the San­dinista's promised free, open, demo­cratic elections, respect for human rights, and an independent judiciary, Tambs said. 'Ill

"It is a revolution betrayed. They have not fulfilled their promise to the Nicaraguan people." he said.

"Metropolitan State College Week" has been officially declared by three prominent politicians in three separate ceremonies.

Aurora Mayor Dennis Champine set the trend last Monday by designating Sept. c;:T to Oct. 4 as "Metropolitan State College \\'eek." MSC President Paul Magelli was present, as was Edna ~fosley, a member of MSC's first graduating class of 1969.

Governor Richard D. Lamm fol­lowed suit last Wednesday by signing

Mayor Federico Pena

official papers to the same effect. Denver Mayor Federico Pena was

last to join the bandwagon, making his own proclamation last Thursday. "This is the realization of a dream," Gwen Thomas, assistant vice president of Institutional Advancement and one of 36 original faculty members, said. "It gives me a great deal of satisfaction."

Thomas said that ~tSC Week is an opportunity for Metro to become visi­ble to the public and for Denver to recognize MSC's special identity.

"It's like having a child and watching him grow and develop," Thomas said.

Metropolitan students are entitled to use the health clinic, which is funded by student fees. All illness checks are free, although students must pay laboratory fees.

Tambs said the United States should be concerned about the unprecedented military build up by the Sandinistas, who have 88,000 troops on active 'ser­vice and in the reserves, 100 tanks, 300 armed personnel carriers and 30 attack helicopters.

Slithering out the door by Joseph Ross

Ken Stabler, former Oakland Raider quarterback made an inspiring visit to the Auraria Book Center Sept. 15 to promote his new book, "Snake". The visit so inspired Ronald J. Chavez, he allegedly stole a copy of the book from the Auraria Book Center the next day.

In a report filed by Public Safety Officer George Kelly Casias, Chavez apparently left the book store without paying for the book.

An undercover store detective con­fronted Chavez and asked him to return to the book center. Chavez said he was going to his car to get his wallet to pay for the book.

Later, when being questioned by

Casias, the man reportedly attempted to conceal his wallet in his sock.

Chavez was arrested and turned over to the Denver Police Department.

Three small fires were also reported by Public Safety officers last week.

A fire in the South Classroom, which the Denver Fire Department was dis­patched to extinguish, was the most serious although no one was injured.

The report filed read that a trash can was smoking. Since a trash can cannot ignite itself, Public Safety asks that people be careful when tossing matches and cigarettes.

Other reports included three lockers being broken into in the Physical Edu­cation building on Sept. 23. Items stolen were a wallet, money, clothing and other personal items. O

A. slick spill • ---by Lucy Stolzenburg ·

An oil spill that polluted Cherry Creek Tuesday afternoon may have originated on the Auraria campus.

At least 20 gallons, and possible 50 gallons of waste automotive oil seeped into the creek from a storm sewer at Speer Boulevard and Curtis Street according to Lynn Johnson of th~ Denver Fire Department.

"The storm sewer originates at Eighth Street and Colfax," Johnson said. "The oil was dumped sommewhere along the sewer."

Though Johnson would not specu­late on the exact location, physical plant manager Phil Savage thinks the oil may have been dumped behind the Technology Building. The oil would have then traveled about five blocks down the sewer to the creek.

"We have to figure out who did the dumping," Savage said. "We're pretty sure it wasn't a physical plant employee because we have (disposal) contracts for that kind of thing."

Neither Johnson or Savage thinks the oil was spilled accidently.

"From what we understand it was intentional, but maybe that individual wasn't aware it couldn't be dumped," Johnson said. "Sometimes people think they can dump directly into sewers."

'Jhe fire department cleaned the oil from the creek Tuesday afternoon and the Environmental Protection Agency hU:.ed a-contractor to clean the storm drain on W~dnesday.

"The cost for cleanup can get real expensive," Johnson said. "The fire department cost alone was close to $5,000. 0

The center is at its busiest on Mon­day, Wednesday and Friday mornings and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, Helburg said. A doctor is in the office

from 8:00 to 4:30, Monday, Tuesday and Friday.

While one of the health center's pur­poses is to provide quality health care as inexpensively as possible, health education is equally important.

Helburg and Mavromatis said they would like to make more health educa­tion seminars available but lack of space, staff and equipment is a problem.

The health center budget was increased over last year but was approximately $15,00.0 less than requested. As a resuJt, the center has just enough money to meet predicted expenses. But the center is growing. resuJtmg m a need tor more space, staff and equipment.

"It's very exciting to see your statis­tics grow," Mavromatis said. "We're seeing a lot of new charts, which means a lot of new people. People are finding out about us and using us as needs arise and we're really excited about that. It makes us feel like we're really a dynamic department because we're constantly growing."

The statistics are likely to grow even more as the health center's Student Advocacy program gets under way. The program uses volunteers who visit classes during the semester to let stu­dents know about the center and the kinds of services available.

In addition, the center would like to off er more services to students, such as more in-house laboratory work and an on-campus pharmacy. D

by Bob Haas

The artist's creative process is an intangible piece of human endeavor. It is often lamely depicted through intel­lectual commentary on the finished form - that is, artist discusses art, critic or biographer discusses art, cocktail party discusses art. These activities contribute valuable material to the wealth of the whole, but they accomplish little regarding an insight into the creative process itself.

The Mystery of Picasso is a ·film which explores the creative process of painter Pablo Picasso.

Remarkably, the f ilrn does nothing to identify, intellectualize or catego­rize Picasso's creativity; it merely shows that creativity. It has as its subject that creativity.

Remarkable indeed. Displaying the creative energy of Pablo Picasso is no simple feat, and Director Henri­Georges Clouzot was not content to simply look over the shoulder of his famous friend at work.

The solution to the problem of artis­tic versus creative point of view was solved in 1955 when Picasso received a special ink from friends in the United States. The ink bled through an absor­bent canvas without running and without distortion.

Clouzot positioned his cameraman Claude Renoir (grandson of the great master Auguste Renoir) behind the canvas, and the result is a compelling look at creativity in process. · Every stroke of brush or marker, every alteration, every hesitancy and

Creation and Creativity Captured

Behind Pablo's Paintings every bold line is captured without reference to artist, or environment, or motivation.

The movie screen is completly filled with art in the process of becoming. It is beautiful work.

The Mystery of Picasso is unique not only because it moves beyond the typ­ical "art film" emphasis on pieces of finished art, but also because it is a piece of art in itself. A pre-filming agreement between Picasso and Clou­zot mandated the destruction of all canvasses, so that The Mystery of Picasso contains twenty or so Picasso's which exist nowhere else. -· For this reason, the French govern­ment in 1984 declared the film to be a national treasure.

Released in 1955, the film won the Palm d'or (Grand Prize) at the Cannes Film Festival in 1956. Meeting mixed and confused reviews, The Mystery of Picasso has been unavailable until recently, when the Samuel Goldwyn Company successfully negotiated the right to distribute µie film domestically.

The Mystery of Picasso is a legiti­mate treasure - because it contains works of Picasso which exist no where else, because it discovers an innovative approach to film point of view, and because it succeeds in drawing a direct and bold line between our apprecia­tive understanding and the virgin pur­ity of art becoming.

The film is. what it claims to be - a fulfilling exploration of the creative proc_ess.
