Campus Watch 'ti. is here

Metro's student government has voted to establish a Campus Watch program, similar to Neighborhood Watch pro­grams.

Campus Watch members will be chosen from Metro, with Auraria Public Safety training the volunteers in conjunction with the Campus Safety Com­mittee. The volunteers will keep an eye on the campus, be alert for any suspicious activity and know what to do in an emer­gency.

Yvonne Barcewskl The Metropolitan

Controversy continues over funding of a Black Student Alliance trip to Iowa in February.

Alliance members attended a Big 8 Conference on black student government at Iowa State Uni­versity in Aims, Iowa, February 22-25. The conference was de­signed to foster leadership among black students who attend pre­dominately white colleges.

At an April 9, Student Affairs Board meeting, Lisa Calderon, alliance president, asked the SAB to reimburse the club for expenses associated with the trip. The request exceeded the alliance's allocation for the trip by $1,497.51. Part of that money, $1,424.78, was for air fare expenses that the SAB previously said it would not pay for.

Minutes from the February 12 board meeting show that the board approved $6,000 for the trip. Although only 14 alliance members went to the conference, the trip proposal shows that the alliance estimated 35 members would attend.

There were several stipulations attached to the alliance's allocation for the trip. One of those stipulations was that each alliance member who wanted to go would sell l 0 tickets to a Black and White Ball,

But Carla Pacheco, SAB senior secretary, said, "We spent a good half-hour with the (alliance) treasurer, informing them how to fill out the forms."'

According to an alliance ex­penditure report, the cost of airfare to fly the four alliance members to the conference was $1,424.78. If the SAB excludes the airfare costs, the alliance should only have to request an additional $72.73 from the SAB.

There has also been some con­troversy because the alliance sub­mitted its funding proposal for the trip directly to the SAB.

The normal procedure for clubs requesting money for their activities is to submit a proposal to the Club Funding Committee. The CFC can grant requests up to $1,200. If the request exceeds that amount, the CFC chair has the option to ask the SAB for the additional money.

"I made the exception because, if the alliance went directly to the CFC, they wouldn't have had enough time to get their paper­work in, and because the funding request exceeded the CFC's $ l ,200 maximum,"' Thorpe said

"Whatever we do with SAB money has been judicious, fair and equitable." o

Martin wins in low turnout Mary Anderson News Editor

Only 5.6 percent of Metro's student body chose to cast their ballots in this year's elections.

Out of 17,000 students, only 960 voted, promoting several candidates to complain about the lack of student turnout at the polls.

Gerri Madrid, a presidential candidate, said she was upset the debates were not advertised. "They should have been held outside or on ACTV," she said, referring to campus television. "If the Met hadn't printed position statements, the students would never have known a thing,"' she said.

"I'm disappointed in the student turnout," said candidate Michael Jones. "It's partly student govern­ment's fault. There were only two voting booths, and they dropped the ball with advertising the debate and elections," he said

Sen. Jeremie Stuhl, the chair of the Election Commission, said there was not enough money to operate more than two booths.

"It's not the commission's re­sponsibility to advertise. It's the student government's. They set the budget for the Election Commis­sion. This year it was $500. Next year it will be $1,000."

According to their treasurer's

report, over half of student govern­ment's allocated funds were not spent this year.

Last year, the student tum-out was just as low.

Most of the campaigning took place outside the Student Union. Students often heard banter between the presidential candidates using megaphones and were handed several different leaflets in the space of a few feet.

"I thought it was pretty amusing,"' said 22-year-old Merydith Nelson, the first student to vote Tuesday, April 4, at 5 p.m., when the voting booth in the Student Union opened. "They didn't sway my vote, but they did convince me to vote," she said.

The official results of the pres­idential election, released Friday, April 6, at noon, are as follows:

• Martin and Holden 199 • Green and Montoya 174 • Jones and Fransen 127 • Chandler and Albright I 00 • Lockett and Brewer 99 • Madrid and Walsh 87

As expected, all 22 senators on the ballot were elected. There were 25 spaces to fill. "P~ive campaigning makes for

passive leadership," said student Sen. Kevin Miller at the April 4

senate meeting. He said he was discouraged by the lack of senate candidates actively seeking office.

Three senators, Shannon Hab­good, Darlene Lopez and Linda A. Lockett, all received the highest number of votes, 331. Lee-z Stewart

received the lowest number of votes at 242. The three write-in candidates received votes ranging from nine to 15.

Elvis, the Rev. Martin Luther King and Ralph Nader each re­ceived one write-in vote. D

Trash tendencies on trial at debate Paul Daugherty The Metropolitan

Are you interested in trash? You know, that stuff we unequivocally

label as garbage - unless, unwanted material that pollutes not only the land, but the senses.

Jazz recording artist Rob Mullins and Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert debated the differences between conventional and media garbage at the 43rd Annual Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Monday, April 9.

"Our trash is currently put on barges leaving New York en route to Third World countries," Mullins said. "(Americans) generate more trash per capita than we know what to do with, and that presents a grave situation."

But from a media perspective, Ebert considered the situation to be more than just a problem with conventional garbage.

"(America doesn't) throw away its old television shows," Ebert said. "They're sent to new markets overseas and most of that stuff we send is trash.

"We are strip-mining our minds." Mullins said that he is among many in a

field of musicians concerned about what is happening to our garbage and who use their careers as a standpoint to make political points.

He suggested that Americans become "green consumers."

"Each time you go to the store think about the product's packaging material," he said. "How much paper waste does it generate, the ink used on the material, the plastic wrapping."

Mullins also said people should protest for more biodegradable packaging because "capitalist greed" won't change products.

'We are strip-mining our minds'

"America is spoiled," he said. "We should stop thinking about our own interests and bring ourselves to make sacrifices. We have to re-educate ourselves to know that our resources are not unlimited."

But Ebert was not moved. He said that most "green consumers" contribute to the problem more than they realize.

"The problem is with self-righteous 'greens' who think that they are creating wealth without using resources," Ebert said.

Ebert gave an example of a man who wrote a screenplay in longhand because a c.omputer uses too many resources to operate. His rigors were wasted because the resources consumed in having the story made into a movie in the first place were equivalent to the waste he was trying to avoid.

"The American movie industry took in $10 billion of polluting money," Ebert said, "using volumes of newsprint in advertising, millions of printed popcorn containers, cut­ting down entire forests just to make press kits."

Also, Ebert said he believed that trash in the TV industry will be everywhere as the English language becomes more widespread on satellite channels.

"Today, English is more common in France than it was 20 years ago," he said. "English as a language is colonizing the world with an efficiency England never had, and Americans will be making more trash to supply that market."

That trash, according to Ebert, will be mass-produced in the lowest common denominator, as things that come close to affecting our senses rather than our minds become more popular. As the world becomes more homogenized in American culture, people become less and less curious and more mentally apathetic.

Ebert also said that the problem has to do with most people having a narrow enter­tainment range, because they'd rather be stimulated than bored. "People will not spend money with the expectation to be educated and depressed," he said.

Ebert did offer a solution, however. "Do something utterly new every five

years," he said. "Become an artist. Learn another language. Travel, but go with a bare

back and be a traveler, not a tourist. Listen to classical music because there must be a reason why its been playing for all these hundreds of years."

-

Tons o' trash

Mullins shared the sentiment. _. "If you want to c.onserve your resources,

spend time changing your lifestyle in order to make the world better," he said.

"These are ways we can fight to avoid the death of our interests," Ebert said. "If you're not interested, then you're taking up your own space." o"

Students get summer shot at Germany Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

The summer break is coming soon, and you say you don't know what to do, or where to go. How about a trip to Germany?

Any student on the Auraria Campus can become involved in a relatively new foreign exchange program which will give them the opportunity to spend five weeks in Germany, at a cost of less than $1,000.

Todd Jones, a CU-Boulder student, created the Foreign Exchange Experience in 1986.

"I attended school in Germany from 1985-88," he said. "People would come up to me and ask me about visiting America."

Jones, 24, said the key word to describe his program is flexibility.

"I wanted my program to have a more personal touch," he said. "Most of the exchange programs are trapped in bureau-

cracy and red tape, and I didn't want that." He handles the interviewing and organi­

zational details in the United States. Amina Dedanwala, 20, a current German student who attended Metro in 1988-89, handles the details in West Germany.

From late June to mid-July, the German student will c.ome to stay with the American family, then the American student will accompany the German student back to West Germany for a five-week stay there. Jones said the round-trip flight wi11 cost about $700, plus the program's $250 fee.

"We're not trying to compete with other programs in which the student stays in their exchange country for a semester or a whole year," he said. "This is basically a chance for them to see another country and if they like it, then they can extend their stay or join another exchange where they can stay longer."

SUBMIT! The Metropolitan is accepting letters and guest editorials on relevant topics · ~and issues of student concern. Please " M bring submissions to our office, Rm 156 in the Student Union.

There are no strict rules in the program, which both Jones and Dedanwala agree is a plus for their program. Almost any rule is negotiable, as long as the families and students all agree on a solution or compro­mise.

< and I want it now,' " she said. "It wi11 be good for Germany in the long run, but things are happening too fast right now."

Dedanwala said all participants (families and students) should have a strong interest in the program.

Currently, there are 14 Germans signed up to come to Colorado, including one blind student, Jones said. He is searching for a family with a blind student, who would p

consider entering the program.

"We don't want anyone to feel like they're being pushed into anything, because then it's not rewarding or fun," she said.

German students, including Dedanwala, who have visited Colorado, leave with a positive impression of the state, which helps Colorado's image in West Germany.

Jones said he is considering expanding the program to other countries, including East Germany.

"Many people think of Colorado as a · place where it's cold and snows all the time," Dedanwala said.

Dedanwala said she is glad to see all the changes happening in East Germany, but not all of them have been positive.

"Some East Germans come over (to West Germany) and demand things. They say, 'I've never had this before, so I deserve it,

The deadline for applying for the exchange program will be in mid-May and Jones said the sooner interested students and families contact him, the better. If you are interested, or want more information, call Todd Jones at 443-7109. D

Metro celebrates 25th anniversary Lyn Wazny The Metropolitan

Commencement for Metro's 1990 gradua­ting class on May 20 at the Coliseum will kick off a year-long celebration of the college's 25th anniversary.

Centering around the theme, "A Sterling Success," a variety of social and academic events are scheduled.

Dick Netzel, MSC physics professor and chair of the 25th anniversary committee, said there are 17 people on the committee representing alumni, faculty, staff and stu­dents. "The principal purpose is to celebrate Metro's existence. We want people who work and go to school here to feel good about the institution," he said.

Metro has come a long way since it opened its doors to 1,189 students on October 4, 1965. Graduates received two­year associate's degrees from 1967 to 1968. In 1969, the first class receiving four-year degrees graduated. Metro's current enrol­lment is more than 17,000 students who are working towards obtaining bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees among 54 areas.

Preceding commencement, alumni have been invited to attend a 20th class reunion reception at St. Cajetan's Center on May 19, followed by a tour through the original campus. The Forum building, the old Zuck building and the Emily Griffith school are among the buildings that housed Metro in its infancy.

Carson Reed, MSC alumnus and ~te editor of Colorado Business Magazine and organizer of the tour said, "I really encourage everyone to come and see what the old campus looked like."

More than 30 events will take place over the year. Twenty-five years of the best of art, music and writing by past faculty and students will be presented by the art, music and English departments.

The music department will present the second annual Christmas Card to the City program on December 4 and 5 at the Paramount Theater. The show, a sell-out last year, will feature 200 performers from MSC's choirs, two Wurlitzer organs and the MSC orchestra under the direction of music professor Jerry McCollum.

In July, a new musical called "The Sword and the Crown" will make its debut on campus, McCollum said. Written by New York City actor and playwright Michael Martorano and composed by University of Denver alumnus Stephen Nye, the play is set in the 15th century before and during the reign of King Henry V of England.

The show, according to Martorano, is similar in size and scope to "Les Miserables." The three lead parts have already been cast with three professionals from New York.

Metro is funding the production, so MSC students will take precedence over performers from the community for the remaining 22 roles and technical assistants.

The music department is also planning a spring show, "V oca1 Showcase," March 12 and 13 of next year. MSC choirs and vocal majors will perform music from current Broadway musicals and operas.

An art exhibit of 25 years of the best work done by faculty and students will be displayed at the new Metro Center for the Visual Arts gallery on W azee Street in lower downtown which will open in the fall.

English Department Chair Charles Allbee said his department will present an exhibit of "prize-winning efforts from over the years."

The Plain and Fancy Ball, slated for October, is one of the biggest fund-raising events the college sponsors. Harry Gianneschi, vice-president for Institutional Advancement, said many volunteers will be needed, especially to hand-address 20,000 invitations. "For 20 hours or more of work, a student will get a patron's ticket to the ball." he said.

A lecture series, titled "Agenda '90," is scheduled throughout the year. " 'Agenda '90' will be a series of symposiums or panel discussions on primary issues affecting Colo­rado and Denver. We want to show that Metro is a leader in the community," Gian­neschi said.

Topics may include the environment, economic development and education.

Metro employs more than 1,000 people, making it the largest employer in Denver, Gianneschi said. "In addition to providing educational opportunities, Metro is eco­nomically influential. We are an accountable partner," he said

Other events being planned include a trivia bowl, a Christmas party and a Valentine's Day dance. o

A portion of the International NAMES Project, a memorial to victims of AIDS, will be on display at the Auraria Library April 16 to May 4.

The memorial is a quilt composed of 4-by-6 panels. Each panel represents the life of an AIDS victim. The individual sections were handcrafted by the families and friends of those who died of the disease. Before the quilt leaves Auraria, at least four new panels will be added.

On April 9, six people, surrounded by boxes of cloth scraps and baskets of thread and trims, gathered in Student Union Room 254 to begin designing and sewing panels for friends and family who died of AIDS.

"He always liked flowers," Cheryl Rhodes, an AHEC employee, said. "That's why I've chosen fabrics with floral backgrounds." Rhodes was describing the panel she designed for her brother Rodney. He died in October 1989.

Cheryl Rhodes works on a qullt block In memory of her brother.

the Institute for Contemporary Art in New York City. He worked with several three­dimensional art forms. Deer, angels and flowers were his preferred motifs and red was his favorite color.

Cheryl Rhodes is a graphic artist. She said she is using her talents and skills to fashion a panel that would have appealed to her brother. Her panel incorporates her brother's motifs, and mirrors her brother's preferences.

"I was going to copy a huge angel rug he made," she said, "but I decided I wanted to

do something that 'was' him, not copy something he did."

Mark Woods is copying a poem that helped his friend, Dennis Michael Valdez, find serenity in the face of death. Woods is not quilting his panel, instead he is drafting his pattern on cloth and coloring areas with high-lighter pens. Across the top he has written out Valdez' name. Beneath it he has written, "Brother-Son-Friend-Lover."

Before he died of AIDS, Robert Locklair was friend, lover and husband to Stacy.

They were together for 15 years. Al­though their families have been supportive, Stacy Locklair said that a lot of their old friends abandoned the couple when Robert's illness was diagnosed.

She said that one person told her that Robert was "depressing" to be around. "We lost a lot of friends over it," she said. "I just started choooing my friends better."

Locklair has found new friends at the Circle of Support and Healing, a support group for AIDS victims and their families and friends. That's where she met Woods and Rhodes.

"Cheryl Rhodes helped me to keep my sanity," she said.

Rhodes, Locklair and Woods agree that the Circle provides victims and their loved ones ~ential support.

Billi Mauromatis, staff assistant at the MSC Student Health Clinic, helps provide support for Metro students who are HIV positive. "We get to see a side of students others don't see,'' she said. "We see them when they are vulnerable." Mavromatis said she wants to help humanize AIDS through encouraging people to focus on the individual, instead of the disease; that is the pur~ofthe International NAMES Project.

She said that, in order to design a panel, "You have to think of a person and recall memories." Mavromatis said that these moments of recollection are not sad.

"This is not a mourning thing we're doing," she said. "This is a warm remem­brance."

The names of the 11,000 AIDS victims memoralized on the quilt will be read on April 16, on the steps of the Auraria Library. The reading will begin at 11 :45 a.m. and will continue until all the names have been called to memory. o

East Drive-In

Artists wanted Jacque Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

Express yourselfl Here's a chance for local artists to show

off their talents, send out their message, spray graffiti legally, and see their work in 20-foot full-color murals.

A dying relic of the fabulous '50s is being • reincarnated in Denver, and local artists are

needed to help breathe life back into a local legend.

The East Drive-In was the first movie theater of its kind to be built west of the Mississippi back in 1946, according to

:o. Steven Vannoy, who now leases and runs the theater with his partner, Philip Simms.

The partners have many new ideas to attract viewers to the drive-in, but the most innovative idea is the huge art gallery that is planned for the interior fence.

). Vannoy and Simms have invited local artists to paint 30 20-foot murals along the fence.

Vannoy said the contest to search for artists to paint the murals is open to anyone in three categories: high school students

• grades 9 to 12, artists age 18 to 22. and invited artists. Interested painters are asked to send in their applications with a drawing of the proposed mural for one of the three categories. Applications for the contest must be in by April 23.

Vannoy said he would like to see some MSC student artists apply for the contest. There will be two winners in the 18- to 22-year-0ld category. Each winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship, sponsored by the Pepsi-Cola Company, and two tickets to fly anywhere in the continental United

States, compliments of United Airlines. MSC students that are older than the 22-

year-old limit can apply to be an invited artist. They won't win any major prizes, but

. if their art is accepted, they will have a ,,..

chance to have their art displayed to hundreds of movie-goers every night.

All 30 artists accepted to paint murals will win season passes, premiere tickets to the big hits and free refreshments from the theater's "Corvettes" restaurant while they're painting.

"And they get tremendous publicity," Vannoy said. "We have two big parties planned - one for the press and one for the public."

Vannoy said the theme for the murals is up to the artist, as long as it is clean, non­pornographic and does not give a negative message. "Anything from the '50s to the '90s goes," Vannoy said.

If you have any questions about the contest, or would like an application, you can call the contest hotline at 366-2860. The hotline is open from 4-8 p.m., 7 days a week for the next two weeks.

On April 24, there will be 10 winners chosen from each age category to paint murals, Vannoy said. Those 20, along with the l 0 invited artists, will begin painting their murals on April 27. The deadline to finish the murals will be June l .

There is no application fee and no cost for the paint. According to Vannoy, the paint for the murals is being donated by Komac Paints.

The artwork will be kept secret throughout the painting process. All murals will be covered at night during the movie showings. Then the covers will come off and the contest winners will be announced at the media unveiling on June 4. The public opening will follow on June 7.

"It'll probably be the most outrageous art exhibit ever, the first of its kind in the world," Vannoy said. "Our fondest hope is that a few kids are gonna get discovered."

H you are not an artist, but you are a fan of good graffiti, you can view this artistic extravaganza at the East Drive-In, on East Colfax six blocks west of 1-225. o

The East Drive-In, host of a gigantic mural competition.

10 "' THE ·~METROPOLITAN

Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris Way back at the beginning of last summer, when I

was forced against my wi ll to write this column, I made our illustrious editor promise me one thing: that I would never, ever, in a million years have to write about Stupid, I mean Student, Government.

But there comes a time in a final-semester college student's life when, as my old and dearly departed friend Knute Nelson used to say, you just have to say "enough is enough."

I have before me a faxed (your student fees at work) copy of the MSC Stupid Government Election ballot (more of your student fees at work) complete with all the votes neatly tallied (again more student fees at work, but very few students working) .

Just about every year, the Met runs a story (yep, more student fees at work) that talks about how the number of student voters has decreased from the previous year. Without a doubt, this year has to be some kind of all­time low.

A whopping 960 of you bothered to vote this year. I won't further bother you with last year's figures or what percentage of 17,000 MSC students that 960 repre­sents. After all , it's obvious that most of you don't care.

Kelly Mary Martin, who is this year's Stupid President, has been re-elected along with her Neanderthal running mate, Dan "I 'm not a racist" Holden. They won after receiving 199 votes - hardly a mandate of the people, but apparently good enough for Metro.

OK, now before you can say "libel suit," some of you may remember that Mr. Holden got himself into hot water during last year's elections when he allegedly made comments of a racially offensive nature in re­ference to people running against Kelly Martin, for whom he was campaigning.

Mr. Holden's only defense of his remarks, when I interviewed him during the course of covering last year's elections, was that referring to the opposition as " radical feminists" and "homosexuals" was simply the truth. Which may or may not be true, however, people tend to frown on that sort of thing when you're using those terms to argue against voting for them.

But that was last year, and the collective memory at Metro is short. So short that ol' Kelly Martin thought she could get herself re-elected after spending this year getting ready for grad school and ignoring the campus that elected her.

The first thing I thought of when this obviously ego­generated plan reached me was that there was no way she could pull it off. The second was that it was definitely the plan of someone whose priorities are so far out of whack that no one should have given her a job with any responsibility in the first place.

The th ird involved Chivas Regal and a duck and my lawyer says if I talk about it, I'll end up like Hunter Thompson.

I had begun to recover from spending tast year covering Stupid Government and I was actually sort of looking forward to the election this year. I thought, stupidly, that maybe they'd get all the resume-padders out and get some people who deserve the $95,000 they want in their budget next year.

But no. However, one bright spot in this year's elections: A.

Scott Gassmann (I think we all know what the "A" stands for) wins the schizophrenic student represen­tative award for getting elected to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and to the Student Senate.

Well , I guess all I have left to say is: I'm sure as hell glad I'm a senior. Ciao babe, don't go changing, not that anyone ever thought Stupid Government would.

LETTERS

Martin-S real plans? Editor,

I am writing in regards to the recent student body election. I don't know how many students know who won. Well, Kelly Martin and Dan Holden won (which was a shock for me). I wasn't pleased, but I suppose I could live with it if I had to. Then I found out some rather interesting information about Kelly Martin and Dan Holden.

Kelly Martin will not be enrolled as a Metro student next year. The closest she will come is one class this summer. What, you ask, is going to happen next year?

Well, Kelly plans on handing over the presidency to Dan Holden. Kelly said she was going to be in office for her full term - unless something better came along. I was told that Kelly was already accepted to CU (Boul­der). Has something better already come along?

My whole point here is that Kelly Martin should not have been able to run for student body president knowing full well that she would not fulfill her term. I th ink she should be disqualified as student body president.

- Marlene Neuchterleln MSC Student

Library in trouble Editor,

I know this may seem trivial in the face of issues involving basketball , student council and various political action groups whining about this, that and the other thing but has anyone visited the l ibrary lately? Better still, has anyone found what they were looking for there? I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but, our "library" bears that title only by default. Perhaps it should be renamed the Auraria Center Waste Paper Recycling Plant and A.V. Equipment Museum.

Sure, we can all trudge over to the Denver Public Library. But if I remember correctly, I've paid a large portion of my income to this institution just lately. Does ANY of that money make it to the library or is it side- ._ tracked to oh, I don't know, $45,000 office remodeling jobs maybe?

Wake up folks! The library is the heart of any university. And right now, ours is flat on its back with a tube up its nose. - J.M. Schell

EDITORIAL

School no place for secret meetings Last week's uproar over a secret session held by the

Club Funding Committee was a long time in the making. This was not the first, nor will it bethe last, time that a secret session will be held, not just by CFC, but many committees on the Auraria Campus. A look at the minutes of a random sampling of committees confirms that closing the doors to the public is as common on this campus as finals in May.

The point is not just that the CFC went into secret session last week under circumstances that were in direct conflict with the Sunshine Law. This time, we just happened to catch them. We also caught the Rules Committee, last semester, taking a vote in a secret session, which the law expressly forbids. These are just the times when somebody was around who knew committee members were messing up. But speculating on how often committees go into secret session under inappropriate circumstances, and do inappropriate things while in them, is not the point.

The point is the inappropriateness of the entire concept of secret sessions. Secret sessions usually go under such euphemistic jargon as "executive sessions" or "closed meetings." No matter what they are called, they mean the same thing - a deliberate attempt by a governmental body to restrict the freedom of the press and the public's right to know. The state government of Colorado enacted the Sunshine Law. They should not

have a vested interest in providing themselves and their fellow governmental bodies with convenient excuses to hold secret sessions.

The three excuses for secret sessions they allow themselves are real estate discussions. legal and personnel matters. That might seem fair enough on the surface until you realize that any one can just SAY they will talk about these things. Every time they can find a real estate issue, a reason to talk to an attorney or some crony to promote or discipline, they can close the doors, pull down the shades and plot the overthrow of democracy before any of us are the wiser.

The concept of secret sessions is all the more ridiculous when it happens at a school. The most ludicrous instance is when student government does it. We cannot imagine even one scenario where what they were doing was so sensitive as to deny their "con­stituents" an ear to the weekly soap opera unfolding in their office. That student government resembles Romper Room, at times, more than a representative democracy is all the more reason not to shut students and the press out: we would have nothing to laugh at. Sometimes those guys are better than TV.

Back in the real world, a committee is simply a group of people using money that is not theirs to do things that concern and impact the people whose money it is. Even if they are not breaking out the check book at a certain meeting, they are still discussing things that

have ramifications beyond the four walls of their conference room. What are they scared of that they must speak privately? Secret sessions are for cowarda­who spend our hard-earned dollars.

As reporters, we sit in for John and Jane Doe students who are too busy in class, working, studying, or just too confused by the maze of Metro and Auraria's beauracracy and overstuffed file drawers to find out what is going on.

That's a big job, with a big responsibility. And we can't do it if we get kicked out of rooms. We can't tell Metro students why they pay for students

from CU-Denver, University of Denver and other schools to go on trips if we get kicked out of the room.

We can't tell Metro students why student senators accussed of racism are not impeached if we get kicked out of the room.

The press can't function if it's denied access to discussions that concern us all. The role of the press is to watch government. In the Met's case, it means watching the labrynthine decision-making processes on this campus, before those decisions are made. That includes administration and student government. __

And we can't do it if we get kicked out of the room.

'Metrosphere' soon to hit newsstands

Craig English The Metropolitan

Metrosphere, MSC's student literary and arts magazine, has landed from orbit and will be available April 16, in Student Union Room 156.

One thousand copies were printed and are free to MSC students. Costs are covered by student activity fees, Carrie Aldrich, Metrosphere editor, said.

Metrosphere has photography and com­puter graphics, poetry and "fantastic stories," Aldrich said.

The yearly student magazine has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1983, when it was a 12-page Christmas edition, Aldrich said. In the early 80s, it was a college/ community art magazine and featured the work of Allen Ginsberg, a 60's counter-culture poet.

Now Metrosphere is in its eighth edition and has more than I 00 pages. Last year it received kudos from MSC's Board of

-' Publications. "Carrie has been determined to make

things happen," said Deb Hurley, chair of the Board of Publications.

Recently, Metrosphere won off-campus recognition, winning a second place award for advertising excellence from the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association.

Over the past year, poetry submissions have increased 25 percent and non-fiction/ fiction submissions have doubled, Aldrich said.

She said she would like to remind students to start writing their poetry, short stories, humorous articles and cartoons for the next edition. She said she would like to see people from the art department become involved with the magazine. This isn'tjust for English majors, she added.

Carrie Aldrich

There will soon be Metrosphere volunteer staff positions available, she said. Aldrich is looking for people who have writing and layout experience or have a strong desire to learn.

If you're interested in getting published or working on the magazine, call the office at 556-3940, or stop by the office in the Student Union and pick up your copy of Metrosphere. o

The exhibit presents very emotive portraits including a sentence or two about each and then quotes from their subjects. The women come from a wide range of backgrounds -from actresses and artSs to political actiWts and educators.

Bertha Gilkey, a social activist from St Lotm and the subject of one of Lanker's portraits, said she was dumbfounded when

Lanker asked her to be part of his project, and seeing it is beyond words.

"It is n~ that someone did this," she said. "It shows not just what black people did, like in the Civil War or World War I, but what they do. It tells the children, "There is hope. The dream is alive. Move the dream ahead."

The exhibit opened three days after the death of Jazz singer Sarah Vaughan. Vaughan was included in the set of portraits, but Wilkey said she had never seen the entire exhibit.

Lanker's introductory notes ask, "Why would a white male set out to document the lives of 75 black women?"

"It is a result of my own growing awareness of the vast contribution black women have made to this country and society, a con­tribution that still seems to have gone largely unnoticed," he wrote. "As a photo­journalist, I felt the need to prevent these historical lives from being forgotten."

Among the women included in the exhibit are Coretta Scott King, activist and widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.; Oprah Winfrey, actr~ and talk-show host; Toni Morrison, best-5elling novelist; Sen. Liz Byrd, a Wyoming legislator; and Rosa Parks, who is credited for starting the 1955 bus boycott in Montgomery, Ala.

The book is available at most book stores for $24.95. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sundays noon to 5 p.m. There is no admis,gon fee on Saturdays. For more information call the museum at 640-2793.

As people become more and more aware of the need to respect the environment, they are constantly looking for ways to make a difference.

But one place they may not have looked is right in their driveway.

According to John King, parts and service engineering manager for Ford Parts and Service Division, doing little things on a family vehicle can have a big impact on improving the environment.

"It's amazing how much we can do to make our cars friendly to the environment," King said. "On a very large scale, [auto­makers] are taking steps to reduce harmful tailpipe emissions and to recycle, and even­tually eliminate, CFCs in order to protect the ozone layer. But there are steps each of us can take individually that, while certainly on a smaller scale, can.have an impact."

The Environmental Protection Agency has said that, if people properly maintain their vehicles and don't tamper with the emissions control system, tailpipe emissions could be reduced by 25 percent.

King suggests the following steps be observed to assure that every car on the road is environmentally friendly: • Follow the manufacturer's recommenda­tions for scheduled maintenance including oil and filter changes (fresh oil reduces vehicle pollution and contributes to improved fuel economy); type of oil used (high-quality oils reduce engine sludging and improve fuel economy); air filter replacement (promotes fuel economy); spark plug replacement (to maximize engine efficiency); and tire infla­tion pressure (improves fuel economy and maximizes tire life). • For the do-it-yourselfer, dispose of used oil and other vehicle fluids (coolant, trans-

::. .

mission and brake fluid) through recycling centers. • When the air conditioning system requires service, make sure to take the car to a service facility that uses refrigerant recycling equip­ment to minimize release of CFCs to the environment. • Have fluid leaks repaired immediately to prevent unwanted release to the environment. • Use the air conditioning system only as required • Don't tamper with the emission control system.

King said that, compared with cars built in the early 1970s, today's new cars emit 96 percent fewer hydrocarbons, 96 percent less carbon monoxide and 76 percent fewer nitrogen oxides. He added that pre-1983 vehicles, while accounting for 43 percent of the miles traveled in the U.S., produce about 84 percent of the pollution. D

'People' not quite on target Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

"Crazy People," a new comedy starring Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah, earns the distinction of being l 990's most controversial film thus far, perhaps even of the whole year.

The film satirizes the advertising business, sometimes with a biting edge. For example, when Moore announces his intention to be honest with the public in his advertising, ~star Paul Reiser ("My Two Dads"} says,

• .. "We can't level with America! We're in advertising!"

This movie could have been one of the funniest in years, if it had stuck with the advertising satire. Instead, Mitch Markowitz's ("Good Morning, Vietnam") script tries to mix the humor with a love story between Moore and Hannah.

The story needs more explanation. Moore's character, Emory Leeson, has grown tired of lying to his wife, the public and himself, but it needs to be a more vital part of the plot.

Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah star as Emory Leeson and Kathy Burgess In the comedy "Crazy People." That same lack of detail troubles the whole others who become the collective prota-script, although Markowitz does have a flair gonists. Hannah comes off as a woman for incorporating human emotions with who may need some help, but she doesn't humor and compassion. belong in a sanitarium.

When Leeson's ads are mistakenly printed, The attractive Hannah plays Kathy, a thepublicdecidesitlikesthehonestapproach,

woman with "a fear of everything,'' but she and Leeson discovers that his fellow mental gives the character little depth. cases have a talent for writing truthful ads.

After Leeson announces his intention to Then the advertising company realizes it is advertise honestly, he is promptly put in a making money, and it predictably starts sanitarium, where he meets Hannah and trying to take advantage of the patients.

Make no mistake about it, Markowitz has a brilliant mind for comedy. The ad slogans he comes up with are often hilarious, especial­by the Jaguar, United Airlines and Metamucil ads. However, he fails to make the dramatic sub-plot as compelling as he did with "Good Morning, Vietnam."

The direction by Tony Bill ("My Bodyguard") is intelligent, because it focuses on the humor more than the drama. He does mix the mental patients' quirks well, although they sometimes become caricatures. ...,

Reiser, Mercedes Ruehl, Bill Smitrovich and David Paymer all tum in decent per­formances. Reiser portrays Moore's partner in the advertising firm, who realizes at the end that people are more important than work. Ruehl, who won an Oscar nomination for "Married to the Mob," plays it straight as the compassionate Dr. Baylor.

Smitrovich ("Life Goes On") plays a man who can't rationalize clearly and considers everything a game. Paymer's character, at first, can only say "hello," but undergoes a personality change, revealing a sensitive person.

J.T. Walsh, who played the sleazy Sgt Dickerson in "Good Morning, Vietnam," plays another sleaze - the president of the ad firm. You actually grow to dislike him by the movie's end .

The ending is just plain sappy and an overall detriment. What could have been a hysterical satire of an ambiguous business turns into a soap opera.

Still, this movie will make you laugh. The ad slogans will stick in your head long after you've seen them. You can't dislike "Crazy People," but it isn't the best movie playing, either. But give it credit for doing one thing most movies are afraid to do - make a splash in Hollywood waters. D

'Runners roll over CSU Rams Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

Metro's baseball team improved its re.cord to 16-9 by sweeping Colorado State Univer­sity in a double-header last Tuesday, 7-5 and 12-7.

"Tuesday was a great effort," said coach Bill Helman. "The best day we've had all year."

The Roadrunners racked up 13 hits in the first game and 17 in the second.

Senior pitchers Anthony Cortez and Mike Nussbaum have each set a team record for most victories by a Metro State pitcher. Each has 19. Nussbaum earned his 19th in a 3-0 victory over Briar Cliff College (Iowa) Saturday, April 7. Cortez' win came with the first win over Colorado State.

The first game of the Iowa road trip saw Metro's five-game win streak snapped by Morningside College, 3-2. They rebounded to shut out Mount Marty College (South Dakota), 1-0. Senior Scott Novak improved his record to 4-0 with that win. Home run spells victory for Metro's baseball team.

Following the 3-0 win against Briar Cliff, Metro lost the final two games of the trip to Kearney State, a team Metro swept a double­header from at Auraria on April 3.

Metro held a 5-2 lead in the first Kearney game, but couldn't hold it and lost 6-5. The second game was an 11-0 Kearney State rout.

With this final out-of-state trip, the 'Run­ners have all their remaining games in-state. Helman said he was glad about that.

"This road trip was long," he said. "We weren't sharp at all."

Helman was particularly concerned with the fielding, which has caused 10 errors in the last seven games. In the first loss to Kearney State, Metro gave up five unearned runs to errors.

Metro didn't hit the ball well during the Iowa trip either, which Helman called "disappointing."

Pitching continues to be Metro's strongest point. Besides the record-setting duo of Cortez and Nussbaum, Novak is still un­beaten at 4-0. Helman said those three are the "aces" of the staff.

The 'Runners should have 29 games on their schedule thus far, but double-headers against Regis College and the University of Wyoming, that were rained out March 28 and 29, have been cancelled.

The team leaders so far this season are outfielder Ken Sutton, who has a team-high eight home runs and 27 runs batted in, plus a .366 batting average. Junior Rusty Befus has a .34 2 average, with seven home runs and 27 RBis. First baseman Jim Cluck also has seven homers and a .348 average.

Novak has pitched two shutouts for Metro, Nussbaum, one. Cortez leads the

team in strike outs with 39, and Novak has walked only five batters the whole season. Reliever Donnie Bjorhus has an earned run average of 1.35, three saves and a 1-0 record.

Helman said this year's team is fun to coach.

"Even when we're down big, our guys don't quit," he said. "They keep working and trying, and I really like that attitude on this team. Against CSU, I even had to yell at them for getting too excited, too reckless."

On April 14, the 'Runners are host to Mesa State College for a twin bill, followed by another against Regis on April 17. After that, Metro begins an informal, in-state tourney which includes Regis, the University of Denver, Colorado School of Mines and Colorado College. D
