President positive after 1st semester Jim Manuel Editor

MSC interim President William Fulkerson arrived on campus last July with a mission to bring better service to the students and a belief in higher education.

Halfway through his year here he said lie thinks he's made progress and that things are beginning to move.

It's taken some time to identify the problems and collect enough data to find the solutions. He shares his thoughts on his first six months here:

Colorado's quest for recognition as a place for superior higher education is still millions of dollars away, he ~d.

----,----.

"To illustrate the point, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education has set a goal of $2.5 to $38 million this year just l:o get us to reach mid-level with our national peers," he said. "We've got a long way to go."

Last year the Colorado General Assembly allocated $21 million for higher education. Next year CCHE is requesting upwards of $40 million.

Fulkerson said Colorado's low tax base is the reason for the money shortage since much of the state's budget already goes to education. A high proportion of that money goes to the kindergarten through high school area.

Colorado ranks $2,000 to $3,000 behind in money spent per student compared to states who have better reputations for higher education, he said.

"That kind of data would not indicate that CU (University of Colorado) or CSU (Colorado State University) are among the country's top schools."

Fulkerson said he didn't think increasing Colorado's taxes in order to provide more money for higher education would dis­courage potential employers from moving to Colorado.

"I think more employers are concerned with higher education than taxes," he said. "They want their employees to get a top education."

General Studies The interim president said .the school's

new General Studies program will go a long way toward teaching people what they need to know.

"It may play into the hands of the non­traditional student,'' he said. "They are more a~are of their strengths and weaknesses and have a better sense of what they want to know."

Some faculty members have expressed concern about how the new requirements would effect their departments. Fulkerson had nothing hut praise for the faculty that participated in formulating the new program and ,said their concern about its effects were expected.and commendable.

"Every department believes they are the most important department if they're worth their salt."

Part-time teachers Fulkerson said the part-time teachers'

problems - low pay, job insecurity- will be looked at very carefully. Part of the solution may be in arbitrary employment time, meaning teachers may be hired for a predetermined time period, say three years.

At the end of that time, the teacher and the school would decide if both parties wished to continue the relationship either as it was or in a different structure.

He also said that part-time teachers should realize that the school is helping them out by providing them with a place to develop their skills and gain experience.

Part of the problem with hiring more full-time teachers and reducing the school's dependence on part-timers is the probability of larger and fewer classes.

"That. would mean less time for the student," he said. ,-

Metro's percentage of part-time teachers is not too far out of proportion with other urban commuter schools, he said.

Financial aid The interim president said he doesn't

believe the current financial aid system is the best way to operate.

"They need more staff and their computer system analyzed," he said. "There are some questions that need to be answered about the payment situation. Two lines should not be necessary."

to pay their tuition in payments is being considered. The high percentage of students taking one or two classes makes it a problem, though.

It would be unfair for someone who could pay for a class not to be able to enroll in it because someone else who hadn't yet paid for it had already enrolled in it, · therefore filling the class, he said.

"We have to be sure those who are trying to finish their programs can get the classes they need."

Working within the Auraria structure Complicated but workable, he said. "It's more difficult and talc es more time,"

he said. Auraria's role needs to be more defined.MACES (Auraria Cable Entertainment Service) is a perfect example. It's not Auraria's area, but students should have it."

Fulkerson said it takes more time, energy and patience to get routine things done, but there are workable solutions.

The important thing is for each institution to remain committed to its respective role, he said. D

N oontirne Mall singers Dana Stlentjes Reporter

Now, businessmen and students alike, experienced or otherwise, can sing away their Friday lunch hours by joining the Metro on the Mall Chorus.

The Chorus will be held noon to 12:50 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22 to May 13, at 1554 California St.

MSC students can earn one semester hour of credit (at regular tuition prices plus a $10 extended studies fee). This can be applied to general studies credit or, for music students, as ensemble credit.

H you don't need the credit or aren't a Metro student but are still looking f~r a good time singing in a casual atmosphere, you can join the Chorus for $15.

The Chorus was offered for the first time last semester. About 6.5 people signed up, eight for credit. Because of the enthusiastic response, Metro on the Mall decided to offer it this semester, said coordinator Carol Svendsen.

This semester the Chorus will be led by

Michael Clardy. Clardy, a sales manager with an interior design company, has a music degree from Western Michigan University.

How did he get the job? "I sang for them last semester. (MSC

music professor) Jerry McCollum is a friend of mine . ... It's going to be a lot of fun."

The Chorus will focus on show tunes this . semester, including selections from Camelot and Hello Dolly, Clardy said.

In May, the Chorus will join with the MSC Oratorio Choir for concerts on campus and on the 16th Street Mall.

But other concerts depend on the progress of the singers.

"(We'll have) as many (concerts) as we can get ready for," Clardy said.

So far, 10 people have signed up for credit, while 30 more have signed up for fun.

"We expect a similar turnout to what we had in the fall," Svendsen said.

Interested singers can enroll through Jan. 31. For more info.rmation call Carol Svendsen at 623-1500. D

Beer and pizza to liven homecoming festivities Staff

A mini-carnival, a spirit party, three bands, a basketball doubleheader and a dance will highlight the activities during MSC Homecoming Jan. 27-29.

The festivities will open Wednesday with a mini -carnival from 10 a.m. to 3 p .m. each day in th e Student Cente r main corridor.

The carnival will include midway booths furnished by Elitch Gardens. The booths will be a fund-raiser for MSC clubs.

A spirit party is planned for Thursday in the Mission from noon to3p.m. Alive band will perform and the MSC cheerleaders and men's and women's basketball teams will attend. Men's coach Bob Hull is sche­duled to speak.

Homecoming activities culminate Friday with a full slate of fun. Starting at 5:30 p.m., the MSC women's team hosts the Univer-

sity of Northern Colorado in the Auraria gym.

The men follow by hosting the Univer­sity of Puget Sound, tipoff scheduled for 7:30. Halftime of the men's game will fea­ture a red wagon parade of floats built by students clubs. Admission to the games is free to MSC students with a valid ID, $4 for general admission, $2 for non-MSC stu­dents with a school ID, and free to children under 12 or fans over 6.5.

Prizes will also be awarded for the best float, the club with the best participation and for the best banner.

Immediately following the games will be a dance featuring two bands and all the Rocky Rococco pizza and Coke you can eat and drink for $2.

While you're eating, Avant Garde will warm up for The Bratz, who will play until 2 a.m. Coors beer will also be served dur­ing the bash, which is open to the public.

Council rejects • • price increase

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

The Student Facilities Policy Council voted 4-1-1Jan.18 against proposed price increases of cigarettes and pastries in campus vending machines.

The SFPC, a board made up of representatives from Auraria's three institutions, sets policy and procedure for student-funded campus buildings and lounges.

Canteen Food and Vending Service approached the board with the proposal last December when it learned that prices of the items would be raised by the manufacturers.

The proposal called for an increase of 15 cents for a pack of cigarettes and 10 cents for 12 different Hostess pastry items.

Six cents of the cigarette increase and 3l~ of the pastry increase would have gone to Auraria as commission.

Canteen won the contract for the vending machine service from ARA Services Inc. last July 1.

The contract will run for several years but calls for no increase in prices for at least one year, according to board member Dan Becker.

Becker said his reason for voting against the increase was two-fold.

"One of the things that allowed Canteen ·over ARA, which was here, was that they would not bring up prices,'' Becker said. "There is a contractual agreement and one of the stipulations was that they would not raise prices for a year.

"Second, I'm looking at the negotiations and everything that went into the decision

to have Canteen. That decision was not diluted, and you have to respect their (the negotiators) decision."

Cary McManus, manager of Auxillary Contract Services for Auraria, said the defeat of the price increase could hurt students more than the SFPC realizes.

"My guess is that Canteen will come back with higher prices in July to make up for the losses they'll take," he said. "In the long run, it'll hurt a greater part of the population; they11 end up taxing candy bars or others items."

He added that Auraria would like Canteen to come only once a year to negotiate prices, but now that may change.

"Now that the spirit and trust of the agreement has been broken, they (Canteen) may end up coming every month to negotiate,'' he said.

The vote is a recommendation to Auraria and not binding.

McManus said he felt the people from Canteen acted in good faith in bringing the price increase to Auraria, but that the matter would probahly be dropped.

"It doesn't hurt us (AHEC), so I don't think we're going to pursue the price increase."

Becker said he didn't think the vote would hurt price negotiations when the one year price freeze stipulation runs out next July 1.

"I don't see why the price changes are going to change their negotiations," he said. "We didn't say, 'No way, you're not going to get a price change.' I think reasonable price changes can go into effect at that time (July 1, 1988)." D .

Addiction recovery linked to nutrition Monique Curtis Reporter

An MSC instructor has co-authored a novel guidebook with a controversial approach for the nutritional needs of recovering alcoholics.

Anne Hatcher, Ed., R.D., instructor for Addictive Behaviors for more than nine years, believes the role of nutritional counseling in the treatment of recovering people has been largely overlooked by the medical community.

"It's not a scientific thing we're talking about," she said. "It's an emotional ex­perience. Most medical people would not like to look at the relationship between nutrition and behavior. It's just too controversial."

Hatcher said that people who give up a substance, such as alcohol, very often end up battling transfer addictions - giving up

one substance only to become addicted to another- be it chocolate, sugar, cigarettes, or even addicting relationships.

She said that another side effect, weight gain, is especially common in young women and can lead to problems with bulimia, anorexia, or both.

"There's a lot of stuff going on, other than just the alcohol," she said. "Stage One is getting rid of the substance and Stage Two is figuring out how you got there in the first place."

Although several publications concerning dietary needs for alcoholics are available to medical personnel, few are actually directed to the recovering addict. Hatcher said that the two books she is familiar with are inadequate.

One of them, she said, offers an unproven theory for nutrition that Hatcher considers dangerous.

The other, written by a doctor, is directed

toward people with college degrees who are also familiar with medical terminology, making it very difficult for the average person to understand.

Hatcher solves this by writing in lay terms, giving advice about eating health­fully, building a balanced diet, under­standing the link between nutrition and alcoholism, and improving self-esteem through health and fitness. She also tries to dispel many widely believed dietary myths.

"The information in our book is appropriate for people recovering from any kind of substance abuse ... glue sniffers,

· cocaine addicts, pot smokers, etcetera, as well as for non-addicts, because of its common sense approach to promoting a healthy lifestyle."

Because a recovering person is often left without the support of a family unit, Hatcher has included a sample of 90 recipes that can be adjusted to the needs of cooking

MSC' s 'Honor' -able symposium Diane Gemma Reporter

The MSC Honors Program is sponsoring a symposium Jan. 28 in the Student Center for high school and MSC students who "show evidence of sufficient personal commitment and academic aptitude to do honors-level work."

"Inherent Values of Education" is the thrust of the symposium, which features keynote speaker Frank Newman, president

. of the Education Commission of the States, who will speak on the "Challenges to Students in an Expanding World." The

program, which runs from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., includes a panel discussion and a question and answer session with the audience.

Dr. Alain Ranwez, director of the Honors Program, said high schools from metro­politan Denver have been invited to the symposium. Officials of the Honors Program, which began last fall, want to encourage incoming freshman as well as upperclassmen and transfer students to join the program. • "There ai:e.a lot of good people here, and we want to up the image of this campus," Ranwez said. ·

The program covers six core areas and plans are underway to expand. Ranwez said the subjects now part of the program include English, music, philosophy and modern languages, as well as other "activi­ties outside the academic walls," such as theater and opera.

"We've never had a symposium on under­graduate education."

He said he hopes it will offer international perspectives on education, inform students on what to look for in coursework to enrich their lives and provide awareness of stu­dents' responsibilities "as citizens of a shrinking world." D

for one or two people. Jack Mumey, Hatcher's co-author and

former radio personality, is the author of such alcoholic help books as Loving Q~ Alcoholic and The Joy of Being Sober.

He currently heads the Gateway Treatment Center in Aurora and is a recovering alcoholic. His contribution to the books, Hatcher said, was absolutely necessary, because of Mumey's knack for being able to explain things simply.

Although they do not have plans for further projects, Hatcher said they're both pleased with the results of their combined efforts.

Chug, chug, chug that coffee down. ls it the stuff dreams are made of or are you just sipping your way into a frazzled state of nerves for another day at the college races?

Whatever the case, coffee, and lots of it, makes its way out of Auraria metal coffee pots and into the linings of student stomachs.

Some days as much as six gallons of coffee is sold every 15 minutes from 7 to 10 a.m. each morning, according to cafeteria employees.

And, during the first week of classes, the student governments of MSC and UCD provided free coffee, hot chocolate and hot cider in the Student Center entrance

way. Each day about 85 gallons of liquid refreshment were provided to students by the two governments.

Food Service manager Tom Roaick said on any given day an average of 3,000 beverages are purchased from the cafeteria. At 14 ounces per cup, that amounts to 317 gallons of refreshments served per day.

Now that's a lot of thirsty students.

Scholarships awarded to 13 students

Scholarships of $500 each were awarded to 13 MSC students this semester who demonstrated financial need, according to a campus spokesman.

"My initial response was, 'Thank God,' but seriously, I'm honored that the Greenburg Foundation and the MSC Scholarships Board selected me for the Chipeta Scholarship," said recipient Viola Duran, a junior.

"It helped me a great deal," she added. The 13 students were selected from 85

applicants who submitted written essays last December explaining why they chose MSC, why they plan to earn a degree and what they plan to do after graduation.

Additional recipients are: Barbara. Anderson, Denver; Monette Anderson, Denver; Marcia Bryant, Arvada; Martha George, Denver; Carlos Grajeda, Denver; Eleanor Jefferson, Denver; Damon McLeese, Aurora; Colleen Phelps, Littleton; Gerianne Piper, Arvada; Lola Salazar, Wheat Ridge; Tim Shelby, Parker; and Diane Wolvington, Loveland.

The Herbert and Renita Greenburg ...., Foundation, and friends of the Greenburg' s,

recently donated $6,500 to the Metropolitan State College Foundation to establish the Chipeta Scholars Fund.

Additional scholarships will be awarded in the summer or fall of 1988, the spokesman said. D

The Metrop0lltan January 22, 1988 7

----------0 P-ED Prerequisites for new president

Sometime around the middle of next summer, the governing board of Metro State College will name the school's next president. The announcement will probably come amid little fanfare, and most students still won't know his or her name halfway through winter semester.

Yet whomever the winner, that person will be the fifth president in the last four years. An alarming statistic when you consider that the average NFL head coach, a notoriously insecure employee, keeps his job longer than the average Metro president.

But not so alarming when you discover that sev­eral of the past presidents were interim presidents, fellows granting a search committee the time to painstakingly review the files of over one hundred applicants in order to make a competent choice.

Such is the case now. Interim president William Fulkerson will have been on the job for a full year when the new president {or the interim president is named to the position, if you know what I mean) is officially named.

So as the search committee pores over file after file and resume after resume, it's appropriate that some extra prerequisites for the job be identified.

First, the new president should have Metro connections. Who else, besides Fulkerson, knows the true meaning of what MSC means to its students?

Outsiders who have never attended a class or felt the unique spirit of MSC ~on't appreciate it for what it is: .a school servicing older, non-traditional stu­dents as well as younger, traditional students. It's a school with faculty who can identify with the strug­gles of the student taking 15 hours and raising three kids; or the student whose SA Ts weren't quite good enough for the state school; or the student who can't afford to live more than a few miles away from home and work.

Second, the new president must realize that to its

students, Metro is a real college. We understand that we pay real money for tu ition and have real jobs tha·t pay our real bills. And we hope that in return we are getting a real education.

Sometimes it seems as though we lose sight of the fact that Metro is not meant to be the Harvard of the west. Metro's main role is to give everyone, not just those who can afford it or those who show an incredible understanding of the theory of relativity, a chance at higher education.

Third, the new president must understand that the job entails a commitment of more than a couple of years. Metro is like few other colleges. It doesn't need to be told that it is an urban institution that should act like all of its sister schools.

It needs to be told that it can accomplish what it will and not have to worry about which level of athlet­ics the school will compete at in three years. Or glitzy ways it can make a name for itself in four short steps.

Fourth, whoever fills the position will have to be merger-proof. The president will have to understand that talk of a merger between Metro and UCD has been going on for a long, long time. And it will always go on for a long, long time.

It seems Metro's balance sheet must show some pretty impressive figures. Everyone from the CU Regents to the Auraria Board want to be part of the money cow called Metro State. But merger is out of the question if Metro is to retain its important func­tion in the state of Colorado.

And last, the president will have to be able to tolerate a governing board that realizes the school is outgrowing it; a landlord that disregards the school's role in higher education and recognizes only its fiscal earning potential; and a faculty that has seen presidents come and go with such frequency that it braces itself for his resignation speech almost before

Student senate update This is an open letter from the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College to students of the Auraria campus.

•In response to recent incidents of assault on campus, the student senate has created the Campus Safety Committee, a new arm of Metro's student government. The committee will work toward improving safety conditions across campus, through existing and new avenues. For more information contact Judy Brooks, C.S.C. chair, at 556-3253. Your· concerns and suggestions are welcome.

•Discussions continue in both Metro State and Consortium of State Colleges committees about lifting Metro State's enrollment cap, said Zak Zoah, student representative to the Enrollment Manage­ment Committee. Positive and negative impacts of removing the cap are at the heart of the debate. Contact Zak Zoah at 556-3253 for more information.

•The new constitution for the students of Metro has been approved by the student senate and passed on to the administration and the state attorney general for their opinions. A ratification vote by the student body should be in early this spring. For more information contact Rich Link at 556-3253.

•Three poslUons are currently open on the AS MSC student senate. If you have an interest in serving your fellow students as a senator, contact the student government office at 556-3253 or come by SC340C.

•The student senate will set up a table in the main foyer of the Student Center to provide more contact with students-at- large. At least once a month stu­dents can come by to meet members of their student

government and discuss any concerns they might have. Dates and times will be posted in future newspapers for your convenience.

•The student government would like to thank The Metropolitan for contributing this space to help Improve student awareness on campus. Suggestions on how we might improve this column are welcome. Please call Dan Becker, senate secretary, at

556-3253. See Calendar page 6.

Questions remain To the Editor:

Your articles on Martin Luther King Jr. (The Metropolitan, Jan. 15) were appreciated and timely but I have a few questions. Why is MSC, a creature of the state of Colorado, not observing a holiday U~at the State declared? How does reporter Shirley Bonner "honor the man" - by attending classes? Why wasn't this issue addressed in The Metropolitan?

The administration office said that MSC is bound by law to a certain number of school days to explain the scheduling. That is a lame excuse not to respect this important day. Many semesters in the past have started mid-week so this one-day break could be accommodated in a number of ways.

This neglect of Martin Luther King's Birthday demonstrates flagrant insensitivity - not only to black people but to all of those who oppose injustice, hatred, and ignorance.

his acceptance speech is finished. When speculation rose last year that Paul Magelli

was preparing to resign, a Metro professor told me he was not bothered by the rumor. He said presi­dents have come and gone but Metro has gone on and on. Certainly a healthy attitude given the revolv­ing door in front of the president's office.

But a president who will give more than two years in residence to the school is just what Metro needs. Metro may go on and on, but a "permanent" presi­dent will allow it to go farther and farther.

Body building: the flesh of su Shlrley Bonner Reporter

He drags his body out of bed before daWo, driven by the thirst for strength.

Standing barefoot before the mirror, her eyes trail down her body, slowly studying every muscle for any sign of ~owth.

He slips on his sweats; she slides into her leotard. She has just enough time to scrub her face. A quick rake of his modified mohawk hair style and it's combed.

He gulps a handful of vitamins and is out the door. She is already on the road.

Headed to similar places miles apart, Kristine Leigh Braun, 19, an MSC sophomore majoring in criminal justice, arrives at an Aurora fitness center the same time Donald Charles Weese, 20, also an MSC sophomore in criminal justice, walks into a Longmont weight training facility. The two do not know each other yet they share the same passion - body building.

Braun and Weese have dedicated years of hard work to the sport. They hold championship body building titles as a result of their efforts.

In March 1987, Braun beat out six contestants to win the Northern Colorado Body Building Championships, teen class title. That win allows her to compete iq the USA Teenage competition scheduled for June 17-18, 1988 in Houston.

Weese holds the title of Mr. Teenage Colorado Body Builder. He secured the title after winning the Boulder Body Builder Championship title and the Colorado Mr. Teenage Championship title in August 1987.

To achieve these titles, Weese sacrificed his social life and Braun jeopardized her health.

Weese, who got into body building in 1983 when he was a 15-year-old Longmont High School sophomore, spent up to six hours a day whipping his 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound body into shape. He worked · out around his studies and a weekend job. Food and sleep were the only other things in his life for two years.

Today he weighs 252 pounds and nothing but muscles protrude from under the clothes he wears. And he parties, making up for the social life he missed.

Referring to his high school days, he says, "I didn't have enough of a social life in the good old days, so now, today are those good old days."

Like \.Veese, Braun became interested in weights when she was 15 years old. She was a cheerleader in high school and rather thin.

"Everybody made fun of my skinny legs," Braun says. "One of the cheerleaders asked me how I could jump up and down without breaking something when I was cheerleading." Concedin~ that her body needed im­

provement, Braun began power lifting to put some muscles on her body. Two and a half years later, Braun turned to body building after she sustained an abdominal injury that incapacitated her for nearly three months.

Despite the costs that Braun and Weese have incurred, they still practice the sport.

«It's an addiction," Braun says. "I enjoy working out. I can't give it up. I love it."

Seeking her high, she walks into a fitness center , surrounded by the clamor of pumping iron and the grunt of self-inflicted pain that accents the smell of sweat floating throughout the gym.

Slie finds herself a spot and begins stretching the tightness from her muscles.

Soon, her body is ready to absorb the pain that the iron bars and bells will weigh against her 5-foot-10-inch frame and pull against her strength.

Six days a week she subjects her body to a ~-hour workout. The first two days of the week, she works her back and biceps. The next two days, she pumps her legs and shoulders. And the last two days, she gives her chest and triceps a workout.

By the end of the week, every muscle in her body has been stretched beyond its limit to make room for developing muscles in a body that looks as if it needs no further improvement.

Able to deadlift 305 pounds, Braun, a former tllen model, hangs a necklace of a dumbbell around her neck. The jewelry is a reminder that strength and femininity can complement one another.

Braun says that in the male-dominated sport, she sometimes encounters a few who believe there is no such thing as a lady body builder. They consider them Amazon people instead.

Although such images are fading, some women body builders do fit the Amazon role. Braun recalls being in a locker room and getting dressed when she overheard what sounded like a man's voice behind her. When she turned around, she saw that the person talking was a woman body builder who happened to be too muscular. "Steroids," says Braun. 'Tl! never take them."

Braun thinks it is fine for men to take the pills because their bodies are intended to be muscular, whereas women's bodies are not.

Instead of striving for bulk, women body builders strive for proportion, Braun says.

The blond-haired athlete says she is attracted to body builders who have muscular bodies as long as "their e~os are not bigger than their biceps."

Weese doesn't know the size of his biceps, but one look shows that it doesn't matter. His bulging and sliding muscles noticeably fill out the extra-large sweat shirt he wears.

He doesn't talk much, but recalling the first image of Weese one realizes that doesn't matter either,

"Body building builds confidence," Weese says, "You realize you can accom­plish your goals. But I'm realistic. I don't go after what I can't have."

Believing that becoming a professional bodo/ builder is too competitive and there­fore not realistic, he has no further plans to compete in shows.

But Weese's decision to drop out of the spotlight has not discouraged people at cable station ESPN. According to Weese, the sports station wants to talk to him about his body-building career. Weese said he doesn't know exactly what they want to discuss because he hasn't returned their phone call yet.

Instead of a career in body building, Weese wants to travel abroad and even­tually become a U.S. marshal.

Remembering the social life he missed in high school, he says, "I don't ever want to say I had a chance to do a particular thing and didn't."

Body building for Weese is a goal that he · is accomplishing.

"I saw my potential," be says. "Every time I'd go into the gym, I'd be a little stronger. fd anticipate being stronger. It felt good because I saw that I was gaining. That's what drives me... a

Film offers new view of Vietnam War

Chad Morris Reporter

Good Morning, Vietnam, unlike its gritty predecessors Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, presents a Kodacolor bright side­lines view of the war while offering some constructive glances into the war's effect on both Americans and Vietnamese alike.

Director Barry Levinson has always had a knack for capturing an era on film. The Natural, Diner, Tin Men and now Good Morning, Vietnam display his trademark.

The audience sees his touch in everything from the simple vividness of the picture to little things like names. People named Eddie, Marty Lee and Dan 'The Man" Levitan just don't seem to be around much anymore, but in Saigon 196.5 they were everywhere.

Essentially, the film is the story of Adrian Cronaur, an Air Force disc jockey, assigned to the Armed Forcej Radio Network in Saigon. While in Saigon, he becomes aware of a war he never seemed to believe existed.

While Levinson's previous films tend to focus on a group of men doing lots of male bonding, Robin Williams dominates this film with his manic portrayal of Cronaur.

In fact, I think he could probably get a job at a radio station of his choice, after this.

But Cronaur's story is not all hyper radio broadcasts, and Williams shows good range of character as he moves from studio to bombed cafe to tiny Vietnamese village.

One scene shines through, however, showing both the war's effect on Cronaur and his growing disillusionment with the military.

Watch closely the scene after he returns from the bombed cafe and must go on the air to be funny and carefree. Williams' acting is not only good, it also gives the audience a clue as to just how hard comedy can be.

While Williams does a good job, other performances, though small, were excellent. Forest Whitaker, who plays a shy, naive soldier, does a gciod job when his character must make a stand.

Another demonstration of the difficulty of comedy is Steve Hauk' s attempt to fill in for Cronaur. While Hauk, played by Bruno .. Kirby, genuinely believes he's funny, the jokes are so bad the audience winces in their seats.

Those who have seen other Levinson films will recognize these elements as normal, but they will he surprised to see that it doesn't stop there. Levinson goes a "' step further into the issue than he generally does, taking a look at the mark Americans left on the Vietnamese.

Before Cronaur becomes a radio cele­brity, be falls for a young South Vietnamese woman named Tren. He thinks asking her out will be easy. After all, he's an American. It does not occur to him that he is invading a culture hundreds of years old.

He finds out quickly, because when they finally do go out, it is with a dozen chaperones in tow.

The scene is funny, but it also shows in a nutshell the basic American attitude in Vietnam. Because the Americans were there to "protect" the South Vietnamese, they thought it gave them carte blanc~e to do as they pleased.

I like this aspect of the film because it ~ makes me think about something not usually brought up in other films of this category. Just when it seems everything has been said about Vietnam, Levinson comes up with something new.

The movie is not perfect, though. For instance,_ much of the Vietnamese •

dialogue-is buried under thick accents and rapid speech. The audience may miss some important lines near the end because of this.

Also, the chase/confrontation sequence · betw~n Cronaur and Tren's brother is unnecessary and out of place. Levinson already shows us bis viewpoint through

' earlier sequences. Why drop that subtlety and throw in a very blantant message­bearing scene?

But even with these problems, Good M oming, Vietnam is a good film that raises some interesting questions and tries very hard to answer them. D

Metro cagers frozen in Alaskan shootout Robert Ritter Associate Editor

The MSC men's basketball team traveled north to Alaska for a pair of games Jan. 15 and 16 but ended up shooting only icebergs in a pair of losses in their conference openers.

The Roadrunners shot 31.4 percent from the field in a 75-49 loss to the University of Alaska-Anchorage, while the Seawolves hit 44 percent of their shots.

season high. T.J. Milan, who moved to a forward spot

from guard, hit for 14 points in 19 minutes. And Rich Grosz, who played despite a bout with the flu, scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

The next night, the Roadrunners got a little hotter, hitting 47 percent from the floor for the game, but still lost 68-65 to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, the Road­runners' fourth loss in a row.

Metro outrebounded U AF 36-20 and committed only 15 turnovers but could not overcome U AF' s 38-32 halftime advanta~e.

~fetro started slow and hit only eight of 30 shots from the field and UAA raced to a 39-24 halftime lead.

The second half proved no better as the Roadrunners made eight of 21 shots and UAA kept increasing its lead.

But in the second half they hit three of four free throws compared to UAF's 10 of 12 from the line, a fact which bothered Hull.

Head coach Bob Hull said his team discovered some things about Anchorage they can use in the future.

"They've got five guys that are all real competitive and talented. They've got a good solid team," he said. "We'll have to play well to beat them down here (Feb. 13)."

Hull also said turnovers plagued Metro. Freshman guard Derrick Fuller turned the baJJ over a season-high nine times, and the team gave the ball up 26 times, also a

"You have to be 10 to 12 points better to beat them by one point up there. You just don't get the calls. You have to play error­free to win," he said.

To illustrate his point, Hull said Metro trailed by two points with a minute left in the game and was called for a three-second lane violation, a rare call at such a late stage of a game.

Hull lost Grosz halfway through the second half as Grosz lost his bout with the flu. But he got strong performances from

forwards Shun Tillman (20 points and nine rebounds) and Shefrie Staples (15 points and eight rebounds).

The loss to UAF was the seventh game on the road in which the Roadrunners have shot poorly from the field.

"You've got to play a little better to win on the road," Hull said. "We haven't shot better than 50 percent on the road. We're stiJJ struggling a little bit offensively.

The Roadrunners, 8-7 overall and 0-2 in the conference, get ready for their next conference challenge on Jan. 23 against Eastern Montana College at the Auraria gym at 6:30 p.m.

The highlight of the Regis confrontation came when MSC took the lead with 3:12 left in the second half.

"We were down by 13 points in the second half, and we came back and took the lead and we were up by one," coach Cindy Cuthals said. "It was pretty close to three minutes left when we took the lead.

"Wh en we got that one point lead, I thought for sure that we were going to pull it out. Especially because we'd been down. We'd played behind the entire game," Cuthals said.

"The momentum changed and I thought this is going to be it."

MSC then missed a couple of shots and Regis hit a three-pointer which put them ahead by one point.

Cuthals called time out to tell the girls to get the ball to co-captain Wanda McCall.

She was to drive the ball in to score and draw a foul. That would give them the opportunity for three points. Guthals didn't want to push her team toward long-range three-point shots which they \veren't hitting early in the game.

On three of McCall's drives she was fouled. She hit the basket on the third attempt. However, on the fourth and final drive McCall made, the ball was hit out-of­bounds under the MSC basket and Cuthals called time out.

The team attempted to set the ball back to McCall so she could drive the baseline. The officials called a charging foul against McCall. Regis controlled the ball for the rest of the game.

,.. Elizabeth Rees Reporter

Cuthals isn't complaining about the officials, but she still feels the call was bad.

"We had two of the best (officials) in the league,'' she said.

The MSC women's basketball team con· tinued its losing streak last week with two losses at home and one on the road.

The Roadrunners lost Jan. 14 to Adams State College 65·54. The University of Denver defeated them 80-66 Jan. 15 at home.

In their closest game, the lady Road­runners were defeated by the Regis Rangers at Regis 68-61 on Jan. 19.

Despite these losses, foreward Carrie Hershfeldt has recorded three double­doubles (double figures in points and rebounds). She went 17-12, 12-13, and 17-12respectively against ASC, DU and Regis.

McCall's return to the court after missing four games has boosted the confidence of the team.

"The kids play with a different kind of confidence when Wanda's on the floor," Guthals said.

If Guthals had everybody healthy and back, she knows the losses would have been a different story. She suited only nine players for the games last week and they were just tired.

The team travels to Southern Utah State College Jan. 23, the Air Force Jan. 26 and returns home to meet the University of Northern Colorado Jan. 29 at 5:30 p.m. D
