Tivoli deal nearing finalization Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan

A new student center in the Tivoli Brewery, along with in­creased fees, is drawing near for Metropolitan State College of Denver students.

The Auraria Higher Education Center Board of Trustees has ap­proved a student referendum to be held April 23 and 24, for students to vote on an increase in student fees for conversion of the Tivoli Brewery into a student center.

"The present fee is $19, so that wouldbeatotalof$22," saidJoAnn Soker, AHEC executive vice president for Administration. "And for that money you get all kinds of stuff. About 30 percent more space

for clubs and activities, the book­store, all those wonderful things. Auraria would really be on the map with this kind of facility being associated with the campus."

Soker said that the lease buy­out has not been finalized but that the board is optimistic. "There will be a meeting in May," Soker said. "The contract approval would ei­ther come at that meeting or at a special meeting if we get done earlier," she said. "Then the clos­ing on the (lease) transaction would probably be sometime in August. The timing on this thing is hard to know."

Soker said that AHEC will rely on revenue from the Tivoli's cur­rent tenants to help augment the the cost of the new student center. "It's hard to imagine getting the

Tivoli for just $3 if you don't have other sources of revenue. It (the Tivoli) would not be just for stu­dent uses only. We would keep the present tenants and then we would hope to add a few more service or retail outlets that would be directed toward students," she said.

According to Soker, the Tivoli Brewery would provide a much­needed increase in classroom and office space at Auraria.

A planning committeewhich wil include paid consultants will be formed to determine"exactly what makes sense and how to do the layout properly, Soker said."

Soker said that new, student­oriented businesses in the Tivoli may include a bank, a post office, a bicycle store, and fast-food res­taurants. a

Club football gets the boot Dale Shrull Sports Editor

As of 4 p.m., April 10, the football club at Metropolitan State College of Denver no longer ex­isted.

Anne McKelvey, assistant di­rector of Campus Recreation, said that she informed football club president Lee Atkins, during a private meeting, that MSCD was dropping club football.

"(MSCD) cannot provide a proper standard of care for them anymore," McKelvey said.

Financial concerns, certified coaches, lack of supervision, equipmentandthefactthatfootball at MSCD has become too danger­ous, were all contributing factors

, that McKelvey cited.

T.J. Cole, head coach of the football club, didn't agree with the decision. "l think rugby is more dangerous. We've been playing for five years and we've never had a serious injury," he said.

The rugby club is in no danger of being cut, McKelvey said. Even though a rugby player suffered a broken neck during a game in September of 1989. She said that football and rugby are different. Rugby clubs are supported by ap­proximately 400 schools and their coaches are certified by a rugby federation.

She said that through her re­search she could find only two four-year schools that recognize club football. Also, the coaches in club football aren't certified and many fall under the player/coach

Student fee hikes proposed Deb Brown The Metropolitan

Students will have to reach deeper into their pockets to attend Metropolitan State College of Denver this fall.

An increase of approximately 12 percent for tuition and fees was proposed at a cabinet meeting April 10.

Thomas Brewer, president of MSCD, said be hopes to get ap­proval for the increases from the Board of Trustees in May.

"Inflation has seriously eroded our funds," Brewer said.

Joe Arcese, vice president for Administration and Finance, said that the 12 percent tuition increase is larger than last year's 7 percent increase because of a decrease in state funds.

General inflation and salary increases demand the raise in tu­ition, Brewer said.

"We don't like to do these things, but we cannot sacrifice the quality of education to our stu­dents," he said, adding that part of the increase has been ear-marked for improving the computer sys­tems.

"As you know that technology is very expensive," he said.

Unlike the athletic fee increase that was voted on by the student body, the increases this year have

had no student input. "We don' t take every fee in­

crease to the students," Brewer said. Arcese said that the increase is

for a three-year plan to improve computer resources that includes more equipment and better access for students. He said there are plans for at least one new computer lab.

The mandatory fees are also increasing by approximately 12 percent, Brewer said. The increases in fees are as follows: athletic, $2; telephone registration, $2; student activity, $1-$5; Auraria Higher Education Center bond fee, $3; and a one-time graduation fee of $25. The AHEC bond fee is con­nected with the proposed take-over of the Tivoli, he said.

Brewer said that the student health insurance fee is also going up by $18 a semester.

Arcese said that the AHEC Bond fee will have to be voted on by the students, adding that the student insuranee is a student program and not an administration plan.

Arcese said that the increase in the telephone registration fee will greatly improve student access to the "peraphonics system" that is used for registration, financial aid information, and student account information.

"Now we feel we really need the increase to maintain the levels of service," Arcese said. 0

NEWS Election draws record numbers Allen Laychak The Metropolitan

Chip Wiman won the race for: Student Body President of Metro­politan State College of Denver and the Colorado Public Interest Research Group won its bid to stay on campus in a large voter turnout last week.

Wiman and Anthony Vanderhorst, his vice president, will take over as president and vice-president May 15 after re­ceiving 35 percent of the more than 1,800 votes cast. Amy Montoya came in second in the presidential race with 25 percent of the votes and Lisa Calderon came in third receiving 20 percent of the votes.

Wiman said the first thing he wants to do as student government

president is to find out what issues are most important to the students.

"So many of the people that run for political office on this campus say 'I wanttodo something for you and here are the 10 items that I have for you,"' he said, "but it seems counter to the idea of 'I want to do what you want."' Wiman said he would like to poll the stu­dents and ask them to prioritize the issues on campus such as parking and day care, and then tackle the problems one by one in that order.

The only referendum on last week's ballot was the CoPIRG question.

Sixty-eight percent of voters chose to keep CoPIRG on campus by supporting the optional three­dollar fee on student registration.

Craig Benjamin, vice-chair of the local board of directors of CoPIRG, said, "I think it reflects

an increase in environmental con­sciousness and also an increase in people's awareness of CoPIRG and the kind of work that we do."

Fortheofficeofstudenttrustee, Kristine Platt won with 52 percent of the vote.

Kenneth Ibarra won the repre­sentative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board position.

Ephram Martin, a write-in candidate, received 33 votes to win the second SACAB position.

Of the 25 senator positions available, there were 14 people on the ballot and the remainder will be filled by write-in candidates.

Joe Navarro received the most votes of all senators with 628 votes.

More than 1,800 students voted in this year's student government elections-nearly double the voter turnout of last year. 0

Poor ~ttendance ma-rks ·mayoral debates on campus Adam Shockley The Metropolitan

Four of the five candidates run­ning for mayor of Denver spoke April 8 at Auraria Campus in a public forum sponsored by the National Rainbow Coalition.

Alvertis Simmons, who directs the Colorado chapter of the coali­tion, condemned the low atten­dance of the event. "I was very disappointed at the sparse crowd," Simmons said.

Simmonssaidthatthecampaign manager for Noon Early, Denver district attorney and mayoral can­didate, said that Early couldn't at­tend due to a scheduling conflict. However, Simmons said that he didn't blame Early's cancellation

for the small number of attendants. "They said we'd never be able

to get four out of the five mayoral candidates to come for a debate, but the Rainbow Coalition pulled it off, and look, there wasn't hardly anyone there," he said.

Simmons said that one of the reasons his coalition was able to attract four of the five mayoral candidates was because the forum was going to be held on the Auraria Campus and he thought it would be safe to promise the candidates that there would be a big crowd.

Don Bain, Wellington Webb, Errol Stevens and Steve Schweitzberger were the candi­dates who spoke at the event. Norman Provizer, Metropolitan State College of Denver political science professor, mediated the

discussion. In response to audience ques­

tions, candidates harsh! y criticized the Pena administration on its management of schools and espe­cially the management of the new airport project.

Provizer said that the candidates gave many straight answers to audience questions instead of evading them.

"You know a lot of politicians come to these events with padded answers," Provizer said." They'll say the same thing no matter what question you ask. These candidates did little of that."

Simmons said that the low turnout was one reason why he and other forum organizers decided to structure it around questions from the audience instead of a classic

Rosen encourages politcal balance Allen Laychak The Metropolitan

There is a philosophical imbal­ance in the American higher edu­cation system and political bal­ance is essential, according to Mike Rosen,KOA-Radiotalkshowhost.

The majority of the faculty members and administrators on American college campuses are liberals who are influencing stu­dents with their ideas and are not fairly representing the conservative viewpoint, Rosen said, while speaking at the St. Francis Center April 4.

"I think a college administration and the trustees have the obliga­tion to insure a better philosophi­cal balance," he said, "not to have the capitalist side presented snidely by a Marxist who doesn't believe

in it. "Right now, there's a mindset

that's in charge in academia that was cultivated during the 1960s. The leftist radicals who had a lot of fun being students during the '60s are now in charge philosophically and practically on college cam­puses all over the country. They 're just as close-minded and tyranni­cal now, as faculty members and administrators, as they were dur­ing the 1960s when they were student radicals."

Rosen said that there are prob­ably only five places today where people still advocate Marxism, and American college faculties are one of those places.

Students should be offered the chance to be exposed to both lib­eral and conservative viewpoints in classes, Rosen said.

"The best I can hope for -since I don't believe anybody is capable of perfect objectivity-'-- is bias plus bias equals balance," he said.

Many leftist college faculty members are people who believe in a Utopian society and wish to influence students toward. this ideal, he said. "Where they have power on campus, they wield it arrogantly," be said. "A graphic example of this is the current purge of politically incorrect thought."

Politically correct thought is thinking that agrees with the liberal faculties on college campuses and anything that goes against' their beliefs may be considered politi­cally incorrect, Rosen said.

Rosen said that as long a:s mi­norities are bemg actively recruited on campuses, then recruiting

debate format as originally planned.

Simmons' statements differed with those of Provizer who said attendance at the forum started out "sparse" but became "respectable" later.

In an earlier event, Bain and Stevens both spoke April 3 at the Auraria Student Union in a pre­sentation by the Auraria College Republicans. Bain and Stevens spoke for about 30 minutes each to a crowd that varied from nine to 14 attendants.

During that presentation, Bain accused the Peiia administration of selecting public managers on the basis of political alliance instead of professional competence.

"We have people in charge of these programs who are obviously

Mike Rosen

should be consistent and include philosophical diversity as well.

"I would like the administration to embark on an affumative action program to recruit conservative thinkers," Rosen said. " I can't imagine why they wouldn't do it. I have no illusion that we will ever have a faculty with half conserva­tives. If we ever had 20 percent I would be delighted." 0

political appointees and not pro­fessionals," Bain said.

Stevens said at the April 3 speech that the key to hiring ef­fective personnel was to "see around the resume and facade and see what skills they really have."

Co-organizer and CU-D sophomore Chad Main said that the College Republicans could have done more to increase the turnout at that event.

"We could have done better, I'm sure," Main said. "Maybe if we'd advertised more."

He said that the only time they had for advertising after receiving confumation from Bain on his at­tendance was the week before spring break. 0

Student govern­ment offers $5K to fund clubs

Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Government has released $5,000 of its budget to be allocated to clubs who were denied funds.

The Club Funding Committee funds ran out over the course of the year and as a result many clubs were forced to forgo end of the yearretreats. The additional money is intended to rectify situations in which clubs were denied funding.

Requests for funding are being accepted in the MSCD Student Government offices in Student Union room 340. All requests will not be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Mexican diplomat encourages - cooperation, free trade

Shawn Christopher Cox The Metropolitan

Mexican diplomat Carlos Fuentes spoke to a standing-room-only crowd about the need for cooperation and understanding be­tween the United States and Latin America.

At a lecture April 9 at St. Cajetan's, Fuentes said the two cultures are so different that the challenge is for "mutual under­standing, which lies at the heart of U.S.­Latin America relations."

Concerning America's future interven­tion in Latin America, Fuentes said, "They have to let us work out our problem." If the United States imposes American solutions, "We'll be in trouble," Fuentes said.

"My point is we can cooperate, but we will solve our problems within our own societies," Fuentes said.

Since the United States and Latin America share a hemisphere, "We must then try to achieve a better quality in our relationship," Fuentes said.

In an earlier interview, he said that free trade between the United States and Mexico is an "inevitable factor" which needs to "bring out a solution that is equitable and fair to all parties concerned."

He also said that it is time for a new world order that is based on a rule of law, coop­eration, and non-intervention, If the United States and Latin America concentrate on their own problems, ''That will be condu­cive to a new world order," he said.

Fuentes said that the United States

Carlos Fuentes wouJdn 'twant someone from Latin America to come up and say, "Hey! What about the homeless, drug problems, crime rates, state of education . ..

"The United States has proved that it is number one in a military sense ... no longer number one politically or economically.

"Ifyoudon'ttakecareof(yourproblems), you might wake up 10 years from now in a situation as difficult as that in the Soviet Union," he said.

Fuentes' visit to campus was sponsored by Metropolitan State College of Denver, Office of Student Activities, the 25th An­niversary Committee and the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences. 0

Racial survey underway Cheryl Helmuth The Metropolitan

The Office of Equal Opportunity is con­ducting a survey of faculty, staff and students to measure the attitudes toward and the occurrence of racial or ethnic harassment at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

The survey was prompted by the nu­merous complaints they have received about racial harassment, according to Percy Morehouse, the director of the equal op­portunity office.

The survey has been sent to all of the approximately 1,200 faculty and staff members, and to a random, stratified sample of students. The surveys were sent to 500

white, 500 black, and 500 Hispanic stu­dents, and to all Asian, Native-American and foreign students, because those groups each have less than 500 students, Morehouse said.

Depending on the results, Morehouse said that they may be planning mandatory racial harassment courses for the faculty and staff.

Morehouse said this is the first racial harassment survey that has been conducted at MSCD. A sexual harassment survey was conducted in 1987, also because of numer­ous complaints.

Morehouse said he expects the surveys to be completed by mid-April, and for the analysis of the results to be completed by the first or second week of May. O

Play brings to life one of Colorado's darkest secrets

-Gall Spencer The Metropolitan

Man's inhumanity to man is reflected in the dramatic musical premiere of"Ludlow," now playing at the Denver Civic Theatre through April.

The beautifully staged and designed production brings to life the coal mine work­ers, their families and their oppressors in this story about one of the bloodiest strikes in labor history.

Playwright Larry Bograd, assistant pro­fessor of English at Metropolitan State College of Denver, recounts the history of the tragedy of 1913-14 in southern Colorado when the United Mine Workers called a strike against the Rockefeller-owned Colo­rado Fuel & Iron Co.

In the production skillfully directed by Gary Mazzu, half-time faculty member of the MSCD speech communication depart­ment, "Ludlow" shines as a tribute to the early significance of unionism and worker solidarity.

the lawlessness of capitalist oppression. W. Duncan Stewart plays a dispassionate

John D. Rockefeller Jr., whose appearances atop the mine shaft resemble his ivory cor­porate tower in New York where he safely believes the company rhetoric rather than face the truth.

Nancy Solomon is charming as the 82-year-old activist Mother Jones whose in­volvement helped spur national attention to the strike. She stirs up the strikers only to be jailed and to laternegotiate with Rockefeller on their behalf.

Gracie A. Carr is the compassionate schoolteacher Mary, and Dwayne Carrington gives a moving performance as Jeffreys, whose golden voice rises above the rest in the period musical numbers.

Traditional music mixes with original numbers in a simple but impressive score arranged and performed by musical director Stuart Martz and University of Colorado at Denver faculty member Dick Weissman, adding an authentic flavor to the show.

Jan Van Sickle gives a brilliant perfor­mance as John Lawson, the labor organizer

~ for the United Mine Workers who called the strike. TomK. Jones gives a spirited show as Lawson's Greek assistant, Tikas. Their ar­rival in the southern coal fields brings the hope of justice for the workers whose living conditions resembled those of slaves.

The clever multi-level wooden set serves as mine shaft, tent camp, jail and court, with curtains drawn as backdrops adding dimen­sion to the already formidable stage.

For all its historical significance, how­ever, the play' s intricate detail often overrides audience interest in the plight of individual characters, with the exception of the domi­nant Lawson. Further character development could serve to enhance a spectacle as broad and far-reaching as the Ludlow tragedy.

In the coal camps, the company served as landlord, merchant, lawman and judge. Tom Kimball gives a riveting portrayal of the shrewd and brazen company man turned militia Lt. Karl Linderfelt who represents

Gracie Carr, Dwayne Carrington and Jan Van Sickle perform in 'Ludlow,' on stage at the Denver Civic Theatre through April.

At Ludlow, Colo. in April of 1914, 21 people, including 11 children, were killed when the state militia attacked a strikers' work camp. The tragedy was the climax of 7 months of steadily mounting labor tensions between 9,000 employees and the management of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. What came to be known as the "Ludlow Massacre" and the "Ten Days War" eventually caused hundreds to be killed or wounded, including women and children. 0

'Ludlow' gains support from union leadership on opening night

United Food and Commercial Workers' union president Charles Mercer took time off from a labor dispute between UFCW workers and Albertson's warehouse in Grand Junction to attend a Denver board meeting and to see the production of "Ludlow."

"I think it's great," Mercer said of the play.

Mercer said Albertson's locked out 65 UFCW members November 13. In the five months since the walkout, Mercer said the UFCW has spent in excess of $250,000 to represent the workers whom Albertson's expects to return to work this week without a contract.

"We still have some employers who don't treat our workers right," Mercer said.

The sold-out premiere of "Ludlow" was attended by more than 200 members of the UFCW which represents 21,500 workers.

UFCW's purchase of 200 tickets prompted King Soopers president Don Gallegos to buy an additional l 00 tickets for the company's union stewards and em­ployees for the play's opening night that benefited the Friends of the School of the Arts.

"I liked it a lot," said King Soopers meat cutter Gary Geastand.

Mercer said he enjoyed the show and hopes more union people attend. 0

April 12.1991 THEMETROPOLITAN ' Learning from past provides key to unlocking present Shawn Christopher Cox The Metropolitan

"We've lost the art of learning," said William Elefant. This is why he has dedicated his life to education.

Elefant, part of Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver's reading department, said he wants to refocus American education and help students achieve their potential by giving them a "key to unlock reading."

Because of the explosion of knowledge, Elefant contends that many teaching and learning problems have emerged, and be­lieves his reading system is an educative remedy to combat these problems.

"I had a theory about reading," Elefant said, and in 1964, while in Israel, he devel­oped anew method of how to teach and learn reading. He has been testing this method for more than two decades in Israel.

By teaching two sections of Cognitive Strategies for Analytical Reading this se­mester, Elefant has made MSCD the first institution of higher education in the United States to teach reading based on Maimonidean philosophical and educational ideas.

Moses Maimonides, who lived from 1138 to 1204, wasaninnovatorinJewisheducation and hailedasJudaism's national teacher. He has also been hailed as the "medieval modernist" by bis biographer, Fred Gladstone Bratton.

Elefant bas woven bis own teaching techniques within Maimonides' educational ideas.

One example is the "I/We" teaching of reading, and Elefant said he wants to teach his students, "how to break the knowledge code" through this theory and strategy.

This method consists of three phases -pre-search, search and re-search. By teach­ing this method, Elefant is asking his students to think before they read.

The pre-search phase consists of ob­serving the title and sub-titles of an article or in a text. This is the inventory stage of the process where readers get a basic id~a of what to look for.

The search phase consists of skimming for words that signal the introduction to the central paragraphs and phrases, which best explain the author' s main idea as it relates to the title.

'Give me your illiterate, your educationally bored and tired, your culturally perplexed and troubled masses yearning to learn free. The educationally disadvantaged, the deprived, the failures. Send these the intel· lectual hopeless, the textually tempest-tossed to me.'

Words to look for are "I," "we" and other first person singular or plural signalers.

Because words alone cannot adequately identify and explain this process, the reader

is supposed to look for the sentence and/or paragraph that best relates to the title and sub-titles.

This is referred to as locating the "black · box," which readers are essentially looking for, including the author's main idea and purpose. To reinforce comprehension be­fore moving to the final stage, :eaders are supposed to analyze the black box through seven informational processing tasks. These tasks consist of identifying the purpose, structure, conclusion and summary, and coming up with a model, table, and formula.

The re-search, or final stage, is where readers examine the text for total compre­hension. Elefant emphasizes that this stage only adds to the knowledge and understand­ing derived in the first two stages.

Regarding Elefant' s course that teaches this method for reading, Rachel Najera, MSCD freshman, said, ' 'The first two weeks I was lost. I bad no sense what was going on in th is class.

"I enjoy it now," Najera said. "Our class is trial and error and class discussion. We work together on everything we do and we share both the high points and low points."

Fellow classmate Gary Eyer, MSCD freshman, said "It's quite a lot different. It's really interesting, it 's really in-depth."

"I've learned a lot in thisclass. lt'sagood theory," said Aaron Nielson, MSCD fresh­man. Nielson also said that the Cognitive Strategies for Analytical Reading is the best class for developing skills for learning how to read.

Elefant said that feedback from his stu-

dents is very strong and positive. He said be gave out a survey that asked students to rate their education up to the present time and then rate it if they were given Maimonides' "I/We" method for learning how to read.

Elefant said that students rated their edu­cation notably higher if they would have had the "I/We" theory to work with in the past.

Elefant referred to Maimonides' belief that, "speech, teaching, and learning are instruments for advancing peace among mankind."

He also said he is giving his students the "art of learning how to learn," through Maimonides' ideas, and looks upon his teaching. method as the "science of sci-ences."

In the end, Elefant's enthusiasm for teaching as well as dedication to students have brought him not only local, but national and international recognition.

This is especially true in Israel where the method has been taught in higher education for over a decade and a half at Bar Ilan University, whereElefanttaughtfor20years.

To sum up his dedication to education, Elefant wrote the following, which he titled, "My Newest Colossus."

It reads, "Give me your illiterate, your educationally bored and tired, your cultur­ally perplexed and troubled masses yearn­ing to learn free. The educationally disad­vantaged, the deprived, the failures. Send these the intellectual hopeless, the textually tempest-tossed to me. I lift my Maimonidean paideia of paideia literacy liberty lamp be­side the golden door." 0

10 THEMETROPOLIT AN April 12, 1991

OPtED Baseball

America's favorite past-time or veiled child abuse Dave Plank

It was a high foul , arcing gently over the fence along the first-base line and landing on the track behind the stands where about 100 people were watching the game.

One of those people was a little girl, not more than 3 years old. She was at her first baseball game with her daddy, who pointed out the action of the game to her and explained what it all meant, even though she was more interested in looking for ladybugs in the grass beneath the stands.

As soon as the ball hit the track, though, she was after it. It took both of her tiny hands to pick it up, and when she turned around to show daddy what she had, her face was beaming.

She made it about halfway back to the stands, tiny steps weaving back and forth because she was look­ing at the ball and not where she was going. Maybe that's why she didn't see the tall guy in the blue uniform until she ran into his knees.

"Give me the ball ," the baseball player said, looming over her. "I have to take it back."

The toddler was devastated. She looked to her daddy for help, trying to hide the ball behind her where the baseoall player couldn't get it. When her daddy shook his head helplessly and told her she had to give it back, she burst into tears.

EDITORIAL

As the baseball player walked back to the Metro dugout with her ball, she chased him trying to get it back. But to no avail.

Up until that point, we'd all been enjoying the game. Metro was up 4-2 at the bottom of the fourth, the weather was good, and we were all on our way to lop­sided burns from the sun that was sinking far to the west. It had been a perfect day for baseball - right up until the sweet dreams of a tiny child were shredded by the cruel, thoughtless act of a single spandex-clad jock. ·

Or was it that simple? We did what we could for the remainder of the game, lying to the players who came to collect foul balls, sending them out into the adjacent parking lot to peek under cars so that the other little kids at the game could keep them. But that little girl never did get hers, and I was left with one simple, terrible, unanswered question in the back of my mind.

Why? "Well, I don't know what the policy of the baseball

team is when it comes to their balls," said the woman who answered the phone at the athletic department. "I mean . . . their foul balls."

I had to talk to her because the team, and naturally the coach, were at another game, at the Colorado School of Mines.

"Well, what do you think of that? Would you have taken that ball away from that poor little kid?" I asked, desperate for a quote.

Students? What students?

"Well, I don't know. I guess I would if they told me to. But I wouldn't like it or anything, you know?"

"How much do those balls cost?" "I don't know," she said, beginning to sound flus­

tered. "Probably about $2." "So in other words, it's perfectly OK to tear a tiny

kid's dream to shreds over a crummy $2 baseball. You think that's an OK thing to do? Wreck this poor kid's future and leave her to work out this baseball trauma for the rest of her life? She'll probably stick up a bunch of 7-11 s and spend the rest of her life in women's prison, all because of this baseball thing, and you think that's all right?"

"Well, I didn't say that." So the baseball team cleverly, and with incredible

foresight, sidestepped the issue by scheduling, months ago, another game when they knew I'd be calling. But they won't get off that easily.

Anyway, we'll get to the bottom of all this. In the meantime, go see a baseball game. The Roadrunners look pretty good this year, when they aren't terrorizing little kids. The weather's starting to get nice, and what goes better with sunshine than baseball? I mean except beer. Smuggle it into the game in your back­pack. But remember that it's an awfully long walk over to the Tivoli to pee.

And when they come around the backstop looking for foul balls, do a kid a favor.

Lie.

President Brewer seeks unsolicited increases in student fees Is the administration of Metropolitan State College

of Denver filled with good guys or bad guys? Is the administration looking out for the best inter­

ests of the students and the future of the school or are they bigoted, money-hungry, ego-driven, glory seek­ers?

Usually, I would say they are interested only in the welfare of the students and the school. Lately, how­ever, I have found cause to question that confidence.

Last year, MSCD students voted to maintain the athletic fee at $13 with a dollar increase each following year. Well, for some inexplicable reason, President Thomas B. Brewer chose to ignore the student voice and raised the athletic fee-by one dollar anyway.

It can be passed off as necessity I suppose -- a "new," bigger gym, a bright, shiny, new gym floor, lots of heavy machinery and piles of dirt blocking the sidewalks must cost a lot of money, and Auraria shouldn't be expected to foot the entire bill. Should it?

So how do we justify the all-new Brewer cost­expansion program?

The latest budget meeting revealed Brewer's hid-den financial snobbery in his plans to:

·increase the athletic fee again-- not one dollar, but two. • increase the telephone registration fee from $2 to $4. • increase the student activity fee from $41 to $46. • create a $25 graduation fee that doesn't include cap, gown or even champagne -- and must be paid whether or not you go through ceremonies. On top of all that, tuition is expected to increase 1 O

to 12 percent and the AHEC bond that we're all paying off is increasing from $19 to $22 because AHEC wants us to agree to footthe bill for turning the Tivoli into yet another place for Professional Food Management to

serve nauseating "food" and fries that never stay warm (all under the guise of a Student Union, of course).

Butthat's really an entirely separate issue -- AH EC's lascivious hunger for students' money, that is. Presi­dent Brewer is presently deserving of all the limelight.

I find it difficult to even speculate the kind of imagi­nation that must have gone into justifying these in­creases, particularly when the insufficient funds were partly blamed for the restructuring of the entire Student Affairs department. So, they couldn't hold on for an­other seven months when the money from the in­creases comes rolling in? They had to demote and fire people immediately because we're in such dire financial straits?

Bad idea. Gwen Thomas, who was demoted to an untenured

teaching position, is known for her out-spokenness and she is well-connected throughout Denver.

Robert Jackson, hack reporter at "The Rocky Mountain News," picked up on Thomas' demotion and wrote up an "article" while Brewer was out of town. Jackson has a rare gift for creative writing. He could make Ghandi look like just another Skinhead punk with a couple of carefully twisted quotes and a "Ghandi was unavailable for comment" -- oops, forgot to mention the guy's dead, no matter, Jay Ambrose will print it anyway.

But there are more upsetting issues than this seem­ingly arbitrary, across-the-board increase.

In the past, MSCD has prided itself on its accessi­bility to the masses. If you can't afford Yale or the University of Colorado at Boulder, try Metro! Looks like the end of that era. Has MSCD actually succumbed to the elitism of capping enrollment through exorbitant tuition and fees? Has MSCD abandoned the notion of minority recruitment and matriculation. Has MSCD's

administration forgotten that so many of its students are single parents, people trying to find a career niche, people who support themselves, in general, people without a great deal of money. ·

So, MSCD's reputed accessibility is essentially shot. Many of us poor slobs who have to work our way through school will take an extra year or two of our lives to graduate from this formerly accessible instiution. But who would want to attend a school where the student voice means absolutely nothing to the admin­istration anyway?

Last year the administration gave us a referendum to vote on -- lulling us into the false notion that they cared what we thought. They shattered that illusion in short order. Now, they aren't going t{HWSfl.pretend to care what the students think. They're just going to go ahead and make decisions that will effect all students (except those who are graduating) without so much as a casual street survey.

This new budget has yet to be approved. The State Board of Trustees will meet in mid-May to discuss, amend and eventually approve a budget.

It would be an excellent opportunity for students whose vocal chords are atrophying (due to lack of audience) to exercise that voice and a little First Amendment.

Student elections this year saw a record turn-out of student voters -- 1,824. True, it is only a paltry 11 percent, but it's almost double the previous paltry record.

The important thing here is not only to irritate them, it's to let them know we're watching what they are doing to our future.

LETTERS

CU-Denver Events defends Palestinian conference Rebuttal to 3/29 letter to the editor from Robert

Steinberg, Auraria Hillel Director

Robert: Let us tell you that the events board read your !filtfil

Qf distress with real sobriety, and as you suspect, with twice as much sobriety thanks to its publication in the Metropolitan. However, the following itemized address of that letter of distress serves as good news to you from this office-because of its lazy criticisms, you are entitled to cheer up.

You began your letter of distress with an unsubstantiated allusion to necessity qua diversity; then in sharp contrast, you went on to complain of your treatment over the event schedule (Dear fellow, one or the other; it is occasionally true that a truly diverse schedule will leave some people uptight.). With due respect to our own conception of diversity, your feel­ings hardly matter and misses the point. In final regard to diversity (and balance), let this be a notice to other presumptuous and bad-tempered campboys: it is not the policy of the events board; or any other single group on campus, to give every issue a balanced treatment. For instance, would you say that Black History Month, Women's Month, Banned Book Week or Environmental-Week are tendentious in form? And would you expect the Events Board to carry a balanced schedule that would feature the myrmidon of the anent-groups as well as their counterparts? That's a devil of an arrangement, you'll agree, won't you?

Let us describe to you the enduring standards that guide the Events Board in its seasoned policy decisions. Diversity can beach ieved by introducing to the student body concepts and ideas that we seemingly do not have or find in our relationship with diurnal culture. In short, it is not board practice to repeddle mass media. It's an awkward decision to reach, as you might imagine, but the direction of the board will not be advised by or will not ask whether predictable and peevish sort of fellows are lavished by our productions. As far as we're concerned, as we've told you and now tell you again for public record, it evidently annoys us on the Events Board to hold a quorum of stinted scruples that would lead us to favor stodging the student body. Our chief aim-education-means that we are particularize events that countermine firm information by showing different points of view.

We now invite you to understand the enthusiasms of that most notable effort, specifically "the Palestine

and the Middle Eastern Conference." Firstly, no member on the board has any recollec­

tion of yielding to you any ignorance of the Zionist point of view, maintaining that we all live it. If, perhaps, someone did acknowledge some inaccessible historical date or two, that is the extent of the admission. But, we put you the philosophical challenge: how does a per­son ever come to know-except by the critical use of all that person's faculties-that all the information being possessed is enough or not enough. That sort of conclusive immodesty is the unfortunate distinction that accompanies a college graduation.

So that we may resolve your predisposed conflict with the event and in particular your apparent personality conflict witll Yussif Al-Yussif (which in turn shall bring with it the final deletion of your distress) we now take a look at some of your uncritical interpretations of the panel discussion.

Although we do not usually make it our business to amend, clarify or defend the conduct of event guests, you are amiss and out of place in the celebration of your insight of that revealing night. For one, it is possible that Mr. Yussif truly believes the "resolution of the Palestinian Issue in Israel will solve all the problems in the Middle East." His observation is justifiable on the sociological grounds that people very often use a symbolic event for cohesiveness and progress (see Civil Rights Movement, Women's Lib, World War II, 60's Peace Movement, Gulf War). Primarily, your confutation is lost when it gives full attention to Mr. Yussif's inductive reasoning or non sequitur position. We can agree, can't we, that whether or not the subjugation of any person, or any people, solves the problems of a region, it is an "unjust" situation, causing the gravest anxiety for people who represent freedom and oneness (We ask you, how many rapes tolerate a regional epidemic?).

Finally, It is unfortunate that the panel did not describe to the audience that the bomb victims in Iraq are no more deserving of our condolences than the bomb victims in Israel. Although we cannot say what the feelings of the panelists are on this subject, it has been a matter of complete indifference to both clans. But you know very well, after having talked with us, that it was not our design to undertake a conference under the moniker "lies and hate"-can we know any such evidence?-yet necessarily so, everlasting, and committed to partisan sentimentality.

-The CU-Denver Events Board

Student decries Thomas demotion, rejects award Dear President Brewer,

As a graduate oif the University of California at Santa Barbara I admit to having thought Metropolitan State College a third or fourth rate institution. When, however, I decided to renew my teacher certification, I chose to attend Metro because the price and location were right. I reasoned that I would only be there a short time andthat I could suffer third or fourth rate instruction for that short time.

I have continued to take classes at Metro because, to my surprise at the time, I discovered excellent instruction was available to me there. One of the principal persons who changed my negative opinion was Gwen Thomas whom I was fortunate enough to have as professor of a course in Afro-American lit­erature. She was an excellent instructor, and I have always been impressed that Metro had chosen her to work in the upper levels of administration at the col-

lege. It was with alarm and sadness that I read the

account of Dr. Thomas' demotion to a non-tenured teaching position. I cannot imagine how she might have "failed" in your estimation. I would like to believe that her skin color and her gender did not make her expendable, but frankly, as a realist, I'm suspicious.

The news account of Gwen Thomas' demotion coincided with the arrival of a certificate naming me a member of the Presidentls Honor Roll at Metro. I don't want to be a member of your honor roll if you are capable of ordering such a demeaning demotion. Enclosed please find my certificate.

I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely, Sheila L. Clarke

Words come to life in library's basement V.M. Utterback The Metropolitan

There's magic brewing in the Auraria Library basement.

Metropolitan State College of Denver professor Robert Pugel 's poetry for presen­tation class and professor Jim Craig's ad­vanced television production class have collaborated to produce this particular brand of poetry magic. Music, interesting visual effects and the original words of the poet

blend together to create a "live" work of art. Pugel told the audience, "Poetry is a

mythic, mysterious kind of activity - so much so that in every civilization in the history of the world poetry has been re­garded as a kind of magic."

This magic is as varied as the poets themselves. To the strains of Toni Childs singing "All you have is your soul," Peggy Combs recited her poem about becoming your own woman.

In an interesting technical approach called a "chroma key," Steve Durgan, looking like

Auraria program gives hope, opportunity Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan

Moving in slow, measured time, like stooped old people picking their way through a park filled with lively children, the two men quietly picked up empty pop cans and swept cigarette butts off the sunlit pavement, ignoring the students racing past them.

The men, both mentally retarded - or developmentally disabled as they are now more commonly called - are part of an eight-man team hired from the Hope Center For Adults, 3475 Holly St., by the Auraria Higher Education Center to keep the cam­pus grounds clean.

The older man, Robert Waggoner, 41, tugged at his cap and waved over his navy­blue-clad helper, Michael Tiffan.

"We sweep up near the library, student center and the U-shaped area by Colfax," Waggonersaidwithacrookedgrin. "Michael here, he's about 20 years old, he's my partner."

Tiffan pushed a rolling trash can toward Waggoner, shrugged his bent shoulders and looked out from under a knit cap pulled down over his eyebrows. He bobbed his head and pointed to his broom and long­handled dust pan.

"Michael, he can't speak," Waggoner said. "But he can hear what you say."

According to Barry Elliott, Hope Center's occupational training manager, Michael Tiffan can manage pretty well on his own, even riding the RTD bus· line to Auraria from his home each day.

Dear Counseling Center,

I really need to talk to some­one regarding my low self-esteem. Since I quit drinking alcohol ( 3 l /2 years ago) I have not felt good about myself. I've been in different therapies including: support groups, psycho­drama, relapse prevention, psychotherapy. Signed, Nothing wortcsl!

Dear Nothing Works:

It kinda sounds like you've been sitting on a rock for about 3 l /2 years (since you stopped drinking alcohol). The one outstanding state­ment in your letter "since I quit drinking ... I have not felt good about myself" tells me that the alcohol blotted out how you felt about yourself before the drinking began. Therapy groups, support groups. etc. are great aids but groups are only as useful as the members who attend and the facilitators who lead them. Perhaps what is going on for you is that the real source of your precious drinking prob­lem is still hidden somewhere -and they offer a lot of positive help and reinforcement through their 12 step pro­grams. Have you attended or considered them as a helping source? If the AA approach doesn't seem to fit with your individual needs, there are other approaches to dealing with alcohol problems. From your letter I can't tell why your previous efforts have not been very successful. but I do won­der whether you've been re­luctant to hang in there with your treatment when it has been uncomfortable. Good self-esteem shines through the personality and you can gain a better self im­age. We have the wonderful abilities to relearn. grow and change how we see ourselves. In fact the choice Is not whether or not to grow. but rather deciding how you want to grow, change and growth are inevitable. I wish you luck in your journey; if the going gets too rough, please call the counseling center at 556-3132 for an indi­vidual appointment to help you decide on how best to cope with your issue.

AHEC, U.S. WestandtheBannockCor­poration, a subsidiary of the Public Service Company, Elliott said.

The Auraria crews work a four-hour shift, from 8 in the morning until noon, and they are paid a regular salary.

Jim Faulstich, Supported Employment program manager said, "Barry (Elliott) here does an absolutely superb job with the cli-ents."

He nodded approvingly at his pony-tailed colleague adding, "They come to us ready to go to work."

Mike Thornton, AHEC grounds man­ager agreed. "They are doing a good job here," Thornton said. "It took a little bit for them to pick it up - where to go and all -but they provide a good service that our other grounds crews don't have time for."

Elliot said that the crews are well-re­ceived at Auraria because, in part, it is a college campus where it appears that people are more broad-minded than the general population.

Faulstich began the Supported Employ­ment Program at Hope Center in connection with the Mayor's Office of Employment and Training a little more than three years ago.

"We are extremely proud of our program here," Faulstich said. "Our employees aver­age $5.15 per hour, with some as high as $8 per hour, which is one of the highest paying programs in the country."

The Hope Center serves approximately 70 clients, many of whom stay at the center during the day, and services are funded through private contributions, The United Way, The Denver Board for the Develop­mentally Disabled, and the State Division of Rehabilitation, Elliott said.

"Our counselors/case managers (from the state rehabilitation system or the Denver Board system) provide a lot of community­living skills like how to write a check or how to cook," ElJiott said. "They help with grooming and hygiene, along with provid­ing the funding for the training."

He said that there has been a movement to mainstream developmentally disabled people into the community, but added that there doesn't seem to be enough community support to finance that mandate. ·

He also acknowledged that some people are hesitant to deal with the mentally retarded.

"If you're ever in a position where you have the opportunity, expand your human­ity and get to know some of these fol.ks," Elliott said. "They may be intellectually diminished, but they're no different than most of us."

Maybe. ' As Robert Waggoner and Michael Tiff an

finished their cleanup around the students waiting to use the beeping- cash machines outside the Student Union, a bedraggled man carrying a torn sack of alm ninum cans rifled through the nearby trash receptacle. Students grimaced and turned their backs on the smudge-faced man, but Waggoner smiled and waved at him.

"Here mister," Waggoner said, pouring the soda from an abandoned can Tiff an had just handed him. "Here's a can for you. It's OK. Go ahead, you take it." The man grabbed for the can and melted into the tide of students. Tiffan, ready to move on, bumped his rolling trash can in impa-tience. Waggoner nodded and followed 0

Baseball's opening day and opening week, a time full of rich tradition and memories. Excitement isn't at peak levels, it's too early. The opening week is simple­the warm-up of what will be a red-hot summer and fall.

Even though afterone week of play every team is still in the hunt for the pennant, it's obvious that only a select few teams will be contenders the rest will be only pretenders.

But as of now, every team has a chance. Here are the keys to winning the pennant for ever team:

American League West: Oakland A's - the obvious choice to get

back to the Series and gain some redemption. The keys: stay healthy and get Camey Lansford back soon.

Chicago White Sox -ready to challenge the A's? If Tim Raines makes things happen on the base paths and they get off to a quick start, you bet.

Kansas. City Royals - Kirk Gibson getting his rips as a DH and getting relief pitching to go with their starters. And Bret Saberhagan having an odd-type year.

Seattle Mariners - Ken Griffey Jr. and a young pitching staff coming of age.

Baseball's opening week

What it will take to win the pennant Texas Rangers - a healthy and consis­

tent pitching staff. California Angels - Chuck Finley

pitching, big years from aging veterans and a lot of help from above.

Minnesota Twins - save money and invest in the free agent market next year.

AL East: Boston Red Sox - Roger Clemens

staying hot on the mind and not under the collar. Tony Pefia when he was hot last season so was Boston.

Toronto Blue Jays - big years from Kelly Gruber and Dave Stieb.

Baltimore Orioles - About 125 home runs from Cal RipkenJr., Dwight Evans and Glen Davis.

New York Yankees - Don Mattingly to start earning his pay and find a pitching staff.

Detroit Tigers - Cecil Fielder to double last year's home run total.

Milwaukee Brewers - hitting isn't the problem, pitching is.

Cleveland Indians - to play a minor league schedule.

National League West - the best divi­sion in baseball:

Cincinnati Reds - keeping their great starting rotation healthy, Norm Charlton 's consistency as a starter and keeping the chemistry from last season.

Los Angeles - the best team money could buy. Darryl Strawberry hitting, Brett Butler running and a great pitching staff mowing opponents down.

San Francisco Giants - the natural key is Will Clark, then Kevin Mitchell and Matt Williams ... but where's the pitching?

Atlanta Braves - Dave Justice leading the way with his bat and John Smoltz with his arm.

San Diego Padres - play as well in April and May as they do in August and September.

Houston Astros - they will win only if the rest of the NL players are abducted by aliens.

NL East: Chicago Cubs - starting pitching must

keep the game close and Dave Smith must be able to come in and slam the door shut. The number one obstacle facing Chicago . .

well, they are the Cubbies. Pittsburgh Pirates - play up to their

talent and have Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla keep their mouths shut.

New York Mets - Dwight Gooden, David Cone, a healthy Sid Fernrutdez, but where's the hitting?

Montreal Expos - pitching and a huge year from Tim Wallach.

St. Louis Cardinals - does the name Whitey Herzog ring a bell?

Philadelphia Phillies - Lenny Dykstra having a big year, but don't bet on it.

Predictions: AL MVP - the A's Rickey Henderson. NL MVP- Darryl Strawberry from the

Dodgers. AL Cy Young - Roger Clemens (sorry

Mr: Stewart) from the Red Sox. NL Cy Young- David Cone from the

Mets. · Los Angeles Dodgers over the Chicago

White Sox in the World Series. Like I said, the best team money can buy.

Just a thought Did Oval Jaynes and Colorado State

University fail to look under their noses at a qualified coaching candidate in Metropoli­tan State College of Denver men's basket­ball head coach Bob Hull? Or did they simply look down their nose at Hull?

Helman hits 300 ·win plateau Dale Shrull Sports Editor

For the past 13 years, Bill Helman has been at the helm of the Metropolitan State College of Denver baseball team. April 6, following a 12-2 win over the University of Denver, he notched his 300th career win

"This is ·a nice honor but it's more of a feeling of a lot of hard work over many years," said Helman, who is now the co­head coach of the Roadrunners.

Over his 13 years at MSCD, Helman has been the architect of a now-thriving baseball program.

"There was nothing here in the early years," he said. "The first year I came here was the first year we had a field."

The base paths were made up of just narrow strips of dirt, Helman added.

Through the help of fund raising events and a baseball clinic held each February, Helman said they have raised a "couple hundred thousand dollars" for the MSCD baseball program during his 13 years.

The clinic is normally held in the Auraria Gymnasium, but due to the renovations, this year it had to be held at the Denver Broncos' indoor facility, he said.

After building the 'Runners into a com­petitive NAIA team, Helman is now trying to be competitive on the NCAA Division II level. The 'Runners had made the playoffs when they played at the NAIA level. Now at the Division II level, MSCD is finding the going tougher.

"We're a better team (now), but now

we're in the NCAA Division II," Helman said.

Helman said he believes the post-season selection process may overlook MSCD.

Part of the evaluation for a team to enter the post-season in Division II is the strength of schedule. Since only DU, Regis College and the University of Northern Colorado compete at the Division II level in the Colorado area, MSCD finds tougher oppo­nents hard to come by.

Scheduling better teams in the future is one goal that Helman has set. Playing a tougher schedule will increase MSCD's chances of being selected to the post-season.

When MSCD hosts the Central Regional Invitational May 11-12, Helman said that all the teams competing will be Division II.

This season is the first as MSCD co-head coach for Helman. His duties as MSCD athletic director led to the decision to share the head coaching position with Eric Larson.

"My other duties keep increasing, espe­cially with the success of the basketball team," he said. Other MSCD teams are now becoming nationally competitive, such as the soccer teams and women's basketball team, he added.

Larson has been with MSCD and Helman for 12 years. Since Larson is a teacher with the Denver Public Schools, he doesn't arrive for the games during the week until late. But Helman said that both he and Larson share nearly all the game-day duties.

Following the 'Runners' doubleheader win over the Colorado School of Mines April 9, Helman' s career record now stands

at 302-259-2. The 'Runners will take a four-game win­

ning streak into the 13th annual Denver Metro Baseball Tournament April 12-14.

The tournament's format is that the tour­nament will be hosted by MSCD, the Uni­versity of Denver, Regis College, the Colorado School of Mines. The Roadrun­ners (16-12) are the two-time champions of the tournament.

Six teams will make up this year's tour­nament: MSCD, DU, Regis the Mines, Mesa State College and Kearney State Col­lege (Neb.).

The tournament will be a round-robin format, with a championship game played April 14 at 2 p.m. 0

Cole won't return as coach if new home is found for team FOOTBALL from page 1 category.

Cole said he believes that the MSCD football club was a training ground for their coaches. The fact that no MSCD player has suffered a serious injury over the past five years is an indication that they apparently were doing their job well, he added.

A part-time political science instructor and lawyer, Cole confessed that he under­stands McKelvey's thinking. "If it was my career that was on the line I'd make sure all the i's were dotted and the t's slashed," he said. "I think it comes down to paranoia, it comes down to the what if, what if. Sooner or later someone will get hurt."

Cole also said that they met every in­surance requirement that the school and

state required. The decision to drop football was a diffi­

cult one, McKelvey said, calling it a no win situation for anyone. She said that Campus Recreation will lose its most visible and publicized clubs.

"This is probably the most difficult thing I've had to do professionally. I supported football with my heart as well as profession­ally," she said.

With thedroppingoffootball, McKelvey said that Campus Recreation will do ev­erything in its power to find another home for this team.

'This move doesn't necessitate the demise of club football," McKelvey said. "In some ways it's a good thing because it shows the growth of (MSCD) football. I have to shoo

my young from my nest." The main alternative for the team will be

semi-pro, Cole said. The drawback will be fund-raising. He said that the MSCD foot­ball club always raised money to pay for all of their own needs. With the possibility of going semi-pro Cole said this: "It kills you, the image of semi-pro is not looked upon as good in our fund raising circles."

Cole also said that he will not be back as coach wherever the team might play next season. He started the team in January of 1987 and they played their first season starting in September of 1987. Starting with "four helmets and five phone numbers," Cole said he built the MSCD program from the ground up. The Colorado Football Con­ference was also constructed by Cole.

Where can I get a copy-quick-here on campus?

Two other teams that are in the CFC -Arapahoe Community College and Red Rocks Community College-will also suf­fer football club casualties by this fall, ac­cording to McKelvey. Cole agreed.

Next season was going to be his last, but the decision to drop the club sped up his plans.

"After five years of dealing with the paranoia and roadblocks, I'm just tired," he said.

McKelvey said she wanted to make the announcement this spring before the team got too involved with spring practice and recruiting for next season.

She said that it is her belief that the days of football club's in all colleges are num­bered. Q
