Plan may alter tuition rates MSCD president wants tuition based on number of credit hours taken

Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

Full-time students at MSCD may be in for a surprise next fall if a proposal to change tuition rates is approved.

A plan to begin charging students more for each credit hour is currently being proposed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer.

MSCD is on a system now where taking l 0 credit hours is the same charge as taking up to 15 credit hours.

"The system the way it is now is nice for someone like me, talcing a full,class load. I don't know if I will be' able to afford to keep doing that if this new plan starts," said Dominic Perino III, a full-time MSCD student.

S. Ellotl Fey I The Metropolitan

The rates for part-time students are higher because the cost per hour is more. A student talcing six credits this semester is paying an in­state tuition of$468.50, while a student taking 12 credits is paying $738.50. lftheproposedchanges are approved by the MSCD Board of Trustees a student ta.king 12 credit hours will be paying twice as much as one taking six hours. "A full­time student will probably be paying more, while someone taking say, six credits a semester, will be paying less than they are now," Brewer said.

The proposal is targeted to help the non-Basketball season ticket buyers take refuge from the rain to get a tour of the renovated Events Center from William Helman, director of intercollegiate athletics.

America must aid Soviet Union, says Hart Promoting new book about Soviet Union brings former Colorado senator to Auraria

Barbara La Freniere The Metropolitan

Following recent dramatic events in the Soviet Union, America bas the opportunity and

the responsibility to redefine its international policies and role as a world leader in a post-communist world by helping the Soviet Union, said former Sen. Gary Hart.

Hart spoke at the Auraria Book Center Tuesday to promote his new book, "Russia Shakes the World."

"There is a tidal wave rushing out from the Soviet Union to­day - a tidal wave of change; and when it gets to shore, it will be very, very large and have a huge impact,'' Hart said.

Slwon Dum I The MetlllJOljlan

Interviews with Soviet leaders during numerous visits to the Soviet Union in 1985 and 1986, combined with recent events, have convinced Hart Hart at the Book Center.

that the United States should sup­port and aid the Soviet Union.

Economic aid, however, should not be a long-term policy where the United States hands out cash gifts, Hart said.

"The Soviet people don't want cash," he said.

Currently, the government of the Soviet Union resembles more of a confederation than a federation, Hart said. The revolution is deeply rooted in the people, including governmental and military leaders, and Hart said he believes this "broad-based" support was a re­straining force during the revolu­tion, resulting in one of the least bloody revolutions in history.

Hart said that international eco­nomic reality will force the remain­ing eight or l 0 independent repub­lics of the Soviet Union to draw closer together as an economic and

trading block, whatever the politi­cal trends and alliances of the 1990s.

The net result of all this is that the world has changed in ways that no one could predict, Hart said.

The world has changed and nt1w challenges face both the So­viet Union and the United States as major world powers, he said.

While America has applauded the democratic trend in the Soviet Union, quick fixes could bring short-term economic disaster where thousands of people are un­employed overnight, Hart said.

"We have a stake in this," he said, "so assistance of this kind is not merely humanitarian, it's in ow self-interest as well. In fact, it's one of the few times when we can do what's right and do what's · best for us as well." 0

Hiring freeze plagues Healtt'I Cbnter Sharon Dunn News. Editor

A state hiring freeze has left four open positions at the Student Health Center, creat­ing extra work for staff members and reduc­ing student services.

While the center's director, Stephen Mo­naco, deals with a "smaller than ideal" staff and an increasing patient load, a committee designated by Gov. Roy Romer is deciding whether to exempt the positions from the freeze.

The freeze began Aug. 9 "to reduce staff­ing problems in the Likely event that program cuts become necessary over the next few months," reported a memo from the Colo­rado Commission on Higher Education.

''The freeze applies to all positions in state government, except those necessary to sustain health and life safety or other posi­tions critical to the functioning of state.gov­ernment," the memo said.

According to Karen Reinertson, state budget and planning director, exemptions have to be reviewed by a panel, which in­cludes herself and two others, to see if there are other options to admitting requested ex-

SA CAB ousts Holden J. Featherstone The Metropolitan

Student Advisory Committee to the AurariaBoard members unanimously voted last Friday to oust member Dan Holden, the director of University of Colorado at Den­ver Events, from his position on the com­mittee for failure to register as a full-time student.

This action brought to light a state­mandated eligibility requirement that stu­dents serving on SACAB must be regis­tered as full-time students. This require­ment is also a part of SACAB bylaws.

However, Holden, a part-time student, has been questioning the requirements dur­ing the last few weeks.

Holden saidduringtheAug. 29SACAB ·meeting that UCD would not accept the full-time status requirements and he did not believe that the SACAB body had the right to determine the requirements of their representatives.

He said that because nearly 60 percent of UCD students are part-time, more than half of student views would be excluded.

Holden declined to comment on his dismissal.

Emerson Holliday, division director of Auraria Student Services, said each se­mester he contacts all three Auraria col­leges for verification of full-time status of committee members.

''This is a cut and dry issue," Holliday

emptions. Reinertson suggested one option for the

center is for students to go to clinics outside of the school.

Although she said she wouldn't discuss a pending case, she questioned the severity of the situation.

Monaco fears the hiring freeze could be­come a problem.

"Part of the freeze is that I can't hire any temporary workers," Monaco said. "I have three employees doing double duties - all who are ready for upgrades but are frozen. My big worry is that I'll lose these people. If they leave, I'm not allowed to hire anyone."

The freeze may last anywhere from two months to two years, Monaco said.

The center has reduced the number of physicals it can give students, postponing many of them for months.

If the positions aren't filled, other pro­grams such as surgical procedures and edu­cation programs will have to be cut, Monaco said.·

Because the center's patient load is largely seasonal, Monaco said, the bulk of the pa­tient load will come during winter.

The center may then have to refer patients

Holden said. "I'm requiring, as an adviser to the board, that each representative meet eligi­bility requirements that are in state statute and SACAB bylaws."

Holden was ousted last Friday by a vote of 4-0. Holden was not present to vote.

Michael Newlon, a UCO student and chairman of SA CAB said that he disagrees with the state law mandating full-time status requirements because "a part-time student pays the same bond fee as a full­time CU-Denver student."

Holliday said that Holden's concern is a legitimate one. "If the issue arose and was presented differently, we could have talked about it," he said.

To change the law, which was enacted by the legislature in 1989, a bill must be introduced to and approved by lawmakers and signed by the governor.

The six-member committee reports to the Auraria Board on behalf of students, and is composed of two student represen­tatives from each school; CCO and UCO incumbents are appointed by the student government presidents of those schools while Metro representatives are elected. 0

Staff can handle the volume now, but a hiring freeze has left the Student Health Center without four positions while patient volume increases.

to outside clinics, where prices can double those of the center.

. "For the first couple of weeks of schooi, we've been able to handle it," Monaco said. "But we will have to have extensive waiting

times for our walk-in patients, which make up 70 percent of those we see."

Pam Short, a receptionist at the center said she has already seen an in crease in the students coming in for care. 0

Future graduates may face mandatory commuhity service Suzanne Hardy The Metropolitan

All future MSCO students may be re­quired to perform a set number of commu­nity service hours before graduating if a policy under consideration is approved.

Proposed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer, the policy would require incoming freshman to perform community service hours before they graduate.

If the policy is approved, a temporary committee will determine specific require­ments, such as the number of hours required and the types of community service or vol­unteer work students would perform. Brewer would like to see students perform 200 hours.

Brewer said he strongly supports the re­quirement because "exposure to the caring side of society will help a student to be a better person," and would be the "humaniz­ing part of the curriculum."

With an average of five years to complete

a four-year degree-the typical amount of time it takes MSCD students, Brewer said­students would need to work less than one hour per week to get 200 community service hours.

The ~ational and Community Service · Act of 1990 would enable MSCD to receive federal ~ants if it participated in the pro­gram, Brewer said.

The proposed requirement wouldn't ad­versely affect MSCO's full-time, non-tradi­tional students, who often have jobs and families Vt addition to school, Brewer said. He said many students already participated in community service such as volunteering at a nursing home.

"I expect that if we had a requirement like this, students could produce letters (of veri­fication) overnight," he said. He added that several MSCD departments already require community service hours to graduate, in­cluding the human services department and

1989 graduate wants her diploma April M. Washington The Metropolitan

Imagine finishing your major's course work, turning in a graduation agreement, graduating - but never receiving a diploma for four years of hard work.

That is what's happening to Linda Comvellick-Malles, an MSCD voice music graduate.

"I don't know anything at this point," Mailes said. "I have been fighting for two­

. and-a-half years. I get nothing." Mailes finished her course work in the

fall of 1989 and submitted an agreement to

the music department. In the spring of 1990, after she did not receive her degree~ she learned the original agreement was never processed.

Malles, 32, now a private voice teacher, is concerned because she must submit an auto­biography for an upcoming event Oct. 24, "Unsuiree Fr-ancais," benefiting the Colo­rado AIDS Project.

"All I want is to make sure my credentials are honest," she said. "Thankfully, no one has asked me for my diploma."

After learning the original agreement was lost and not submitted to the Office of Ad-

Public Safety News Student fears for his safety:

An MSCD student told Auraria Public Safety officers that he was concerned for bis safety after three men threatened him last week.

Ken Ibarra, 34, told APS that he was sitting at a table at 10th Avenue and Lawrence Street when the three men ap­proached him. One of the three said, "We are going to get you in the community," the report states.

Ibarra said, "Then do it now if you are going to do something."

One of the three said to Ibarra, "Let's go take care of it now," the report said.

Ibarra said be made a waving gesture and the three men walked away.

Ibarra said he recognized the three as MSCD students, but did not know their names. He said that he will give photos that he bas taken of the three men to APS for identification.

Bicycle theft: A borrowed bicycle was stolen last week on the Auraria Cam­pus.

The incident occurred at the l 0th Street Mall between the Student Union and the new gym.

Robert Weber, of Denver, reported the

theft to APS last Saturday. Weber, who said be has no campus

affiliation, told APS that a friend had used the bicycle to get to class on the Auraria campus. The friend said that the bicycle was gone when he returned from class. APS said there are no leads and no sus­pects.

During the first six months of 1991, 30 bicycles were stolen on the Auraria Cam­pus. The North Classroom and Science Building were the locales for at least half of the thefts.

Jim Ferguson, director of community services for parking and public safety at AHEC, said be recommends a U-sbaped lock to prevent a theft.

Soccer practice theft: An MSCD soccer player told APS that some­one stole her gym bag last Saturday during practice.

Rosie A. Durbin said her gym bag con­tained personal items and cash.

Durbin told APS officers that she had left the gym bag near the bleachers when practice started. When practice ended, the bag was missing. Durbin said the value of the stolen items was $292.

Service program may burden staff from Service page 3 the teacher education department, which re­quires 200 hours.

Requiring 200 hours is a number that's been "thrown around," Brewer said, although a specific number has not been decided upon. He also said he does not support receiving credit hours for the requirement.

Liz Friot, a professorof teacher education and president of the Faculty Senate, said she has several concerns about the proposed requirement.

Although the college should be concerned with protecting itself from liability, she said, the college may also need to protect the public by performing background checks on students, such as ·those who will deal with children.

Also, with the state hiring-freeze, addi­tional tasks such as verifying community service may be an unrealistic burden on staff members, Friot said.

Douglas County high schools have had a 20-hour community service requirement for the past three years. Patricia Kier, a Douglas County high school secretary, said that school

started the requirement to help students to "get a better grip on what life is all about" and to teach students to give of themselves without getting anything in return.

A proposal to allow MSCD students with a DUI community service requirement to replace their college community service re­quirement has also been suggested.

''That one really bothers me," Friot said . ' 'That's like Pete Rose working off his gam­bling conviction by working in schools."

Brewer said he didn't care where the hours came from as long as students per­formed them.

The proposed requirement will be re­viewed by the Board of Trustees and Brewer when the temporary committee has reached decisions on it.

Another committee analyzed the proposed policy two years ago, but adjourned when workers compensation liability questions arose.

The attorney general has since said that the college would not be liable for workers compensation. 0

Student's degree should arrive soon from Diploma page 3 missions and Records, nor the dean's office of the School of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, Malles completed another agreement in the spring of 1990, said Virgina Downing, mu­sic department staff assistant. Downing said upon receiving the second agreement she gave itto an associate dean who has since left MSCD.

Because she never heard anything back from the dean, Downing said she assumed the problem had been handled.

Mailes said for the past two-and-a-half years she has tried to get the situation re­solved. In June, she wrote a letter to MSCD President Thomas Brewer. Ken Curtis, dean of Admissions and Records, said anytime students have problems, the records depart-

ment will usually see that they are taken care of immediately.

"If we got them, they were processed," Curtis said. "We're slow, but we're not that slow."

To prevent problems, Curtis suggests that students submit an agreement after complet­ing 60 semester hours.

Curtis said if students fail to receive a copy of the agreement each semester after submission.,they should contact the Admis­sions and Records department.

Downing said the department has taken a copy of Malles' agreement and transferred the information onto a new agreement.

She said the new agreement has been submitted to the dean's office and Mailes will receive a degree. 0

Chicano culture .celebrated on campus Activist follows father's footsteps

Janie Y. Tinnon The Metropolitan

Chicano students joined to celebrate their culture with song, poetry and political affirmations through a forum known as Mexican Independence Day, Sept. l 6.

Nita Gonzales, a community activist, spoke during the Mexican Independence . Day celebration, encouraging people to be proud of Chicano heritage and seek libera­tion of both men and women in the name of minority struggles.

Speakers addressed issues of social and political importance to the Chicano commu­nity, many reflecting on the significance of "El 16 de Septiembre."

"The commemoration of El 16 de Septiembre recognizes the Chicano struggle, a struggle that's been simmering for a long time," said Nita Gonzales, a community ac­tivist. "We want to be free to make our own choices about our culture."

According to Gonzales, it shouldn't have taken as many years as it did for her to realize Chicanos could think, speak and write. Gonzales said her culture was hidden from her.

"People are always trying to assimilate," said Richard Delgado, president of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, an MSCD club. "Chicanos should be proud of their culture.

"Not enough people are aware of their heritage, and commemorations such as El 16 de Septiembre should continue," Delgado said.

Mexicans were enslaved and oppressed for300years by Spain. Until 1821, liberation

was merely a hope. "Under the auspices of catholicism,

Spaniards came with the cross in one hand and the sword in the other," Gonzales said. "But, as you know, the oppressed will stay that way just for so long before saying, 'no more."'

Gonzales said that Chicanos and other minorities shouldn't oppress the other or their own race because they would only become dictators.

"Put away racism and classism, then stand up for what you are," Gonzales said. "Get the diploma, determine what you will do with it, then go back to your community and educate others."

"Everyone terms you as radical," Gonzales said. "What people don't under­stand is that there is a need for Chicanos to raise their consciousness about themselves.

"It 's important that they address the is-sues and reaffirm their choices." 0

Important: Issues

Gonzales' voiee was monumental con­sidering her father was an instrumental core in the Chicano movement when it first began in Denver.

Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales, her father, was a national and political leader who grew up in Colorado. He was an activist for Chicano rights during the civil rights movement.

Corky, as he is commonly known, is now retired from the political scene, but Nita is upholding tradition and shares the political l<?ad with others in her family. ·

Taking his lead from Martin Luther King, Jr and Malcolm X, Corky became politicized and joined the civil rights movement.

"He had a burning desire to change things," Gonzales said. "He helped to stimulate people. We traveled with him and became part of it all."

Gonzales said being a part of the orga­nization from the inside was different and felt more like an investment in her culture.

Corky inspired many political eruptions during that time and Gonzales wants oth­ers to know that times have not changed that much. There is still more work to be done. • Jan/tJ Y. Tinnon

Day Care is shaping up to be a major issue this year. Many surveys have been conducted and evaluated. The MSCD Student Survey shows that Day Care as a major concern of Metro students. It is time for Metro to

decide if more funding wi ll be made available for a child care program. Student Government is researching solutions to this issue. One solution may be a referendum asking students to approve funding for more day care services on campus. Other questions that need to be answered are the quality or services, the availability, and affordabi lity for students with ch ildren. We will keep you informed of developments.

Tuition by the Credit Hour continues to be researched and digested. The best solution is what is fair for all students. Our concerns focus on ensuring that the every student has accessibility to a quality

education at Metro. The way our current tuition structure works, part-time students pay more than full-time students to get their college degree. This is because students taking from 12 to 16 credits pay no additional charge for those credit hours. The proposed structure makes a Metro degree less expensive for the part-time students than they would currently pay, but more expensive for the full-time student than currently paid. We must, as a student body, form an opinion about the proposed tuition by credit hour plan.

Tivoli food services must meet student financial needs. A survey of Auraria students has shown that the average price paid for breakfast is $1.50; the average for lunch is $2.50; and dinner is $2.00. This clearly proves

that students need affordable food service on campus. With the acquisition of Tivoli, and its planned food services, we must ensure that inexpensive selections of food are offered by future food vendors. Furthermore, surveys have shown that students want less institutional-style feeding and more attention to healthy alternatives.

Faculty Evaluations continue to provoke wide controversy among faculty members and students. On lhe one hand. statistics show that such evaluations discriminate against women and people of color. Yet, on the other hand. students feel that it is their right to have this information. Do you want to see Faculty Evaluations published? Let us know.

Tuition changes would benefit part-time students

traditional student, Brewer said. He said he feels that these students are an important part of the campus and their needs have to be realized.

"This college has many students who work full-time, have a family and are only able to take a few credits a semester," Brewer said.

For students who consistently take fewer credit hours, this may become a life-saver of sorts.

"I spend.all my vacation-time money from work on school," said Christina Haberkorn, an MSCD student. " It would be really great to use some of that money for other things."

Haberkorn said she has a family and a job and can only afford to take three to six credit hours a semester.

However, Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president, is skeptical.

"This plan may penalize the full-time student who is trying to get through school," Wiman said. "They may start taking fewer classes a semester to save on tuition."

Wiman and the student government will be among groups reviewing the proposal. "If it can be proven that the plan will benefit a majority of the students, then I will support it," Wiman said. "As a student taking 18 credits a semester I don't like the idea at all. I would be paying almost $1,000

more a year, counting 15 credits in summer." Audra Chance, an MSCD student who is

taking a few credits and considering taking more said, "I don't know ifl want to take any more if it will cost less each semester to take less."

The revenue that may be generated by the change is of concern to Wiman.

"President Brewer assures me that this plan is not one thought up as a revenue producer," Wiman said.

Brewer said, "We can't defend charging part-time students with jobs and families 150 to 200 percent more in tuition; this plan will help those people, that is why we are work­ing on it." 0

Dean cautions staff on budget crunch

Soaring enrollments have forced the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences into hard times, but money has been set aside for some faculty programs, the school's dean said Sept. 11 at the annual convoca­tion at Saint Francis Center.

''This is the seventh year that we have been lean and mean," Dean Larry S. John­son said. "We are getting leaner and meaner." Later he explained that the school this year has a tighter budget to work with.

The growth rate for LAS has been 29 percent since 1986, while the MSCD growth rate has been 16 percent. for the same period.

Johnson said that, despite a tight bud­get, LAS has set aside $250,000 to pro­mote professional development through workshops and seminars for the faculty.

Fundraising could become one way to increase the bu<!-get. With this, Johnson urged faculty members to participate in October's silent auction, the Plain and Fancy Ball and other fund-raising events throughout the school year.

Also, despite the budget crunch, John­son said he intended for each faculty member to have a computer.

"It is a goal of LAS and the institution to put a computer on the desk of any faculty that wants one," Johnson said . Special labs will be set up in various de­partments to help familiarize faculty with computer uses, he said. a

Pool sharks circle the game room Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

A game of"8-Ball" can be challenging­and long. Would-be pool sharks who have spare time, can strut their stuff at the weekly billiards tournaments held on campus.

The Auraria Student Union game room, on the second floor of the Student Union, holds weekly tournaments that give Auraria students a chance to compete with fellow students. For an entry fee of$4, a student can sign up and get the ball rolling.

Bob Chase, a game room clerk and president of the Auraria Gamer's Club, which sponsors the event, said the club started holding the tournaments last year and have had enough interest to hold weekly tourna­ments.

The tournaments are not only for fun­there are prizes involved. The prizes awarded include a gift certificate from the Auraria Book Center. The amount of the winnings depends on the number of players.

"We hope to be able to offer pool cues from area stores later on," Chase said.

For those good enough, intercollegiate tournaments could lead to the regional final in Tempe, Ariz., at the end of the semester. Intercollegiate tournaments, sponsored by the Association of Colleges and Universities,

begin in November. Aurarians will rack skills against teams from other Colorado colleges.

There is one thing that might keep the would-be shark from the gift certificates and a trip to Arizona, and that is the time involved. Tourna­ments can take up to five hours to play out.

Brandy Rivera, an MSCD student, took second place in the Women's Division last year.

" I played in last year's tournaments, but it took up too much of my school time," she said, adding that she would like to play again this year if itdoesn'tinterfere with her school work.

Some pool players want to keep it at a casual level an~ just watch the tournaments. They claim they "aren't good enough" to play some of the tournament players.

"I'm good, but not 'Fats'," said Jason Gonzalez, a casual pool player in the game room.

The game room does not use up all the tables on tournament days, so students can

still enjoy their own casual game of pool while a tournament is going on. That is, unless they choose to watch.

Tournaments are held at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. Registration is recommended a week prior to desired playing date. 0

FEATURES Brewer airs issues on radio show Sherry Kirkpatrick The Metropolitan

Did you know the president of MSCD hosts a radio talk-show broadcast on 14 sta­tions in Colorado every Sunday?

That'srigbt! Once a week Thomas Brewer can be heard on stations such as KLZ, KS-104, and KAZY hosting a 30-minute radio program named "Denver Dialogue." The show is broadcast on stations in Colorado ranging from Cortez to Telluride and Crested Butte to Denver.

The objective of the show is to get the name of the college out into the public, according to Brewer.

Some of Brewer's guests have included David Treadwell of the Denver Broncos, and Bea Romer, first lady of Colorado.

"Denver Dialogue" is the brainchild of Janet Datisman, news information specialist at MSCD. She began developing the show in October 1989 and it first aired in November 1989. Two MSCD students work as interns on the show.

As the show became popular, radio sta­tions began to call the college and volunteer to help, Datisman said. The show is taped at the studios oflocal radio station KAZY, which has donated facilities to the program.

Datisman estimates the program has gen­erated more than a million dollars in free

A different guest is heard each week and topics are vary. Recent topics have included serial killers, is­sues in the Soviet Union and ski area operations.

Some of the guests have donated other services to the college. For instance, after the president ofBoyers Coffee was a guest on the show, his company donated

coffee to MSCD's "Plain and Fancy Ball." Datisman said many opportunities exist for the college as a result of some guests on the show.

Radio and television exposure isn't new to Brewer. His experience dates back to 1976 when he appeared on public television in Dallas to host a program celebrating America's bicentennial. Since then, he has worked on other television and radio shows, including the "Metropolitan Magazine," which airs on the local public television station.

Brewer said hosting the weekly show is

fun. The show is meant to be entertaining, as well as educational.

The program has accomplished its ob­jectives, according to Brewer.

"It gets the name of the college out in the public and associates our name with some very fine people in the community," he said. 0

"Denver Dialogue" airs Sunday mornings on KLZ (56 AM), 5:30; "New MIX" (107.5 FM), 5:30; KRFX (103.5 FM) , 6:00; KAZY (106.7 FM), 7:30; KQKS (104.3 FM), 8:00.

EDITORIAL Students don't have time for more community service

Todd Burgess Assistant Editor

All of you who are going to school full time, working 20 plus hours per week and trying to raise a family-typical stu­dents at MSCD-aren't going to believe this: Dr. Brewer is devising a plan that would require incoming MSCD students to perform community service before graduating.

No credit would be offered for these hours-a 200 hour requirement is being discussed-and the community service would be mandatory.

Community service, Dr. Brewersays, will make Metro students better citizens. It will also improve the school's image, showing everyone that Metro cares about the world around it.

The gesture is noble, but it isn't feasible. Metro students are just too busy to perform more community service.

Perhaps Dr. Brewer does not realize the extent to which Metro students al­ready are involved in the community. Metro students provide community ser­vice by:

• being educated. •being role models for others to go to

college. •devoting as much time and energy

as they can to studying, enabling them to get as much as they can out of college.

• devoting as much time and energy as they can to parenting, enabling them to raise happy, intelligent, loving chil­dren.

• helping in volunteer projects. • encouraging others to go to Metro. Community service means much

more than devoting x hours per week to an organization. A true service to the community is doing the best one can at whatever one does.

From what I've been told, Metro stu­dents already do stand out from the rest of the crowd. They are more serious, more committed and more dependable than the traditional college student. Add­ing 200 hours of community service to everyone's schedule won't enhance this image. It will make students over­whelmed.

Spread over four years, 200 hours doesn't sound too bad. It comes to less than two hours per week. But that's two hours to fit in between homework, classes, work and family.

At the high school level a community service requirement might make sense. Typical high school students haven't seen much of the community or been involved with activities outside of school.

But by the time people enter Metro­median age here is 28-students· know the community quite well. In fact, many students return to college with the com­munity in mind. They want to change

society for the bet­ter and need infor­mation, ideas and a degree to do so.

With a program like this, Metro is sending mixed messages. The community service program encour­ages students to put in more work. Another program, the pay-by-the­credit-hour policy that is under review, tells students to try to do less; its premise is that stu­dents are overdo­ing it with work, family and school so they need in­centive to cut back to part-time status at school.

If Metro is try­ing to cater to busy students, why is it asking more of them?

Dr. Brewer wants Metro to receive attention for being a school that cares about the world around it; he needs to just let things be.

The schoors reputation is good and it's getting better~n its own. Students

are here because they want to be here. They are helping in the community be­cause they want to help.

If community service is sincere-­like it is here at Metro-it doesn't need to be mandated.

Student Union offers sanctuary from preacher's noise

Sharon Dunn News Editor

It's only about a month into the se­mester and I'm already afraid to walk outside of the Student Union. Believe me, I wish it was impending snow driving this fear.

One day, in particular, my new phobia began. It was Club Day - a day set aside for all of the Auraria Clubs to get a chance to recruit students on campus.

Finally, it was a chance for Auraria students to see what these clubs were all about.

Personally, I never noticed a club day on campus, but there is one every year. I think the idea is pretty keen.

But on this day, one man decided to steal the show, reserving second billing to the clubs who worked so hard, and probably skipped classes, to show the students they were there.

For what seemed like quite a while, students had to listen to this man scream at them, preaching what I would call Hellfire and Brimstone.

It was probably not as bad as I have made it sound, but this man had the audacity to tell me, and everybody else,

what to believe. And I think the man

got just what he wanted. He wanted to chal­

lenge people tothinkabout what he was saying - but his method was quite a bit off, in my opinion.

I stood there and lis­tened, although probably not with both ears. I think I was more interested in finding out how long it would take this man to in­still a riot.

Others stood there and screamed right back at him. It always happens like this.

On one hand, I won­der if it's just selfishness leading him to shout at us.

I have friends that will not listen to "street screamers" because if they did, they would have to get up there with them. It's a part of their faith-a faith that dictates they witness to people.

I sometimes wonder if these people who witness on the streets are simply ensuring for themselves a safe passage through the Pearly Gates. I guess that would be selfish.

But then, I wonder if it's just a char­acter builder. I do admire these people for their courage while facing people who scream right back at them.

I:><C.lJSE ME, K\D5, BUT DO YO~ KNOW 'THE WA'-1

--ro l\U~l\R \J\ ~

I always wanted to interview some­one who does this. I have so many non­Biblical questions. But in just trying to have a conversation with one, from per­sonal experience, I know I would just end up listening to a dictation of the Bible from them.

That must be great news to some of them because they might now seek me out to tell me how wrong I am. They would tell me how selfish I am. They would tell me how sinful I am. Some, like this man the other day, would tell me that I am predestined to go to heaven or hell.

Well, if that's true, I might as well live

my life to the fullest-with or without sin, right?

Maybe later I will have the time to be afraid of going to "hell." Later in the sense that I will have a job and a lot of free time on my hands.

Right now I'm in college. I, like many others, am trying.to survive in this world.

But I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. I have the sanctity of an office to hide behind. I don't have to go outside of the Student Union.

But then again, maybe these people can come scream at us during the winter and we can watch through the windows.

The college road is bumpy

Lawrence E. Jones Editor

When I was 16 I managed to wedge my parents' car into a pond. It was stuck fast. After several hours my friend and I were able to push the water-logged Subaru to dry land. Unfortunately, the car was so soaked that I was unable to get it started. Well, time ran out and the parents had to be notified because it was getting way too late. You can imagine what happened.

When my parents got down to the riverside road where I waited for them, they couldn't believe I would ever take their nice little 4-door sedan down that rutted, bumpy and muddy road. As the three of us walked down the road (they couldn't imagine taking the other family car down that road without checking it out first) all my mother could say was, "You took the car down here? You went through this?! You actually drove on this road?!! You will NEVER DRIVE AGAIN!!!"

My father was quieter. All he would do is give me that sidelong glance of his, and try not to smile as he heard my mom berate me for my obvious lack of intelligence, common sense and driving ability.

Well, I did get to drive again, but it wasn't until 6 months later that they let me get behind the wheel. The lesson had been learned. I never took my parent's car four-wheelin' again. (At least not on any roads that had any ponds located on them.)

College life reminds me of that old river road that I used to spend so much time on when I was younger.

Everyone drives the road differently. Some scream through the rough spots, jump the ruts, smash through the puddles and tear around the corners just enjoying the excitement of the ride. They're fun people to know and uncomfortable to watch. You can't help cringing as they go around a turn blind, never expecting that big rock that could tear out their underside and put an end to their traveling the college road. You shout a warning as they smash through a puddle that suddenly turns into a pond that stops them cold and slowly sucks them under, ruining their chance to ever return. Like I said, they're fun people to know, even occasionally catch a ride with, but if you don't get out of the car you could go

,.t) L\"'E .,..o S\).OW You A f\CTURE OF SOME OF 1Nf

/

down with them. Others travel the rode slowly, often stopping

completely just to stand and stare at what goes on around them. That's nice. Unfortunately, these people also have the habit of asking others to join them on the side of the road. Soon you have a whole group that just hangs around the road, occasionally moving a yard or two, but really accomplishing nothing. They appear as if they are contemplating the journey, but all they are is fearing the destination.

The ones I really despise on the college road are the rogues. Those who don't follow the road, but would rather go crashing into the trees across country. They rip up the beauty that surrounds the road, refusing to accept its boundaries. That never made any sense to me. There are plenty of branches of the road, and even foot trails that go off in interesting directions that any­one can take. But not these folk. They get a thrill out of driving illegally. They love to make trouble for others by cutting them off, running them off the road and slamming their own decrepit vehicles into others, just for the thrill of causing damage. They are dangerous. They are a threat to others and even to themselves. The problem is that they get away with it.

All of us normal drivers--the ones who take the corners reasonably, have fun on the bumps and ruts, try to go around the ponds (most of the time), and whose ultimate goal is to reach the highway of the real world--we complain about those bad drivers but rarely do anything about it. After all, it's not our job is it? Where are the policeman on the college road? Where are the sheriffs whose job it is to protect our college environ­ment from these hooligans and idiots who make it dangerous and delaying on the college road?

They're already off the road. They've reached the highway and now have their own destinations to reach. It's too bad that they've forgotten about all of us who are struggling in the dirt to make it out. It's too bad that they won't take the responsibility they've earned and fix the problems on the road.

Sometimes there are too many ruts in the road. Those can stop us. The turns along the way can be too sharp and rough; they need smoothing. The ponds need to be drained and the bumps and dips need to be smoothed.

The wild drivers who waste our time, harass us, cause problems on the road for everyone else, they need their licenses taken away.

Come on you guys, do your job.

Music Review Summer movie leaves behind a great soundtrack

My son is a senior in high school and I'm a full-time senior at MSCD. Because of this I have a limited budget. His senior year is going to be really expensive and he says I "should" help him (he'll get a part­timejob after football season, but he won't make enough for everything). I do want to help, but how do I determine how much is too much and what should he be doing for himself?

Strained Budget

Dear Strained Budget,

First of all, congratulations to both of you for earning senior status.

Graduation expenses (for both of you), and the added items such as class pictures, year books, class rings, and the inevitable in· creased activities are going to challenge your budget strategy that has been success­ful for you thus far.

Avoid getting into unproductive arguments and hurtful accusations. You can try a mu­tual problem-solving approach that will al­low both of you to create acceptable solu­tions.

1. Assure your son that you would provide more financial support if you could, but since you can't as things currently stand, how can the IY/Q of you !lH!M the situation a workable and satisfying one. This can reinforce your support for and cooperation with each other.

2. Develop a list of your average monthly income and expenses as a base of informa­t ion to work from.

3. With your son, decide which expenses could possibly be sacrificed and/or what types ofalternatives that you both could live with, i.e .. , having peanut butter and jelly sand­wiches or hot dogs fordinner every night for the next six months. Goals here are to be as creative and expansive as possible in gener­ating solutions. It's important not to criti­cize ideas, even those that may seem far­fetched, at this time.

4. Review your ideas and select which ones seem most feasible to both of you.

5. Estimate how much of the savings can be contributed to your increased expenses.

6. Explore the options your son has to earn extra money, i.e . ., earlymorningpaperroute, raking leaves, shoveling snow, and/or part­time job.

7. Estimate how much he may earn to con­tribute to the increased expenses.

8. Determine if the information you have gathered seems adequate. If not, go back to item #3 and repeat the process of generat ing possible options. This process can help iso­late the best resolution to the problem.

9. After several a nalyses of your options, you will both get a realistic picture of where you need to make adjustments and/or sacri­fices to accomplish your goals.

This approach breaks down what can ini­tially appear to be an insolvable problem into workable parts. It can also provide your son with an invaluable lesson in practical problem-solving. GOODLUCK1

Jenny Jenny The Metropolitan

At the beginning of summer 1991, stories depicting gang life made their way to the big screen, bringing with themmuchcontroversy and sparking many protests and riots. Now that summer is fading, so too are the movies, leaving behind the soundtracks that brought hip-hop to mainstream America.

"I Wanna Sex You Up," a smash hit this summer off the New Jack City soundtrack, introduced the world to Color Me Badd, a group of four men in their early 20s ready to make waves in the world of music. The song is marked by a heavy bass and synthesized drums that perpetuate the underlying, funky groove that beg you onto the dance floor. It made such an impact that it spawned C.M.B., a CD filled with the same pulsing beat and vibrant melodies. The CD quickly entered the top five on Billboard's album chart, where it has spent several weeks.

C.M.B. features tremendous background vocals wrapped tightly around the lead. The first single from C.M.8., "I Adore Mi Amor," is a prime example of the group's harmoni­ous backing vocals, which are an updated, more soulful version of barbershop quartets from the past. There are a couple of lead singers spotlighted on the tune, each with his own individual vocal characteristics that are

complemented beauti­fully by the backing trio. The song jetted up the charts in nine weeks and knocked Paula Abdul from the top spot after just one week there.

Although each track on the disc is strong enough to stand on its own as a single, and find success, listening to them all in one sitting makes the disc rather monotonous. They seem to have found success with a particu­lar groove and are banking on that same groove to bring more success-not a new concept in the music business, especially in the '90s. The poten­tial hits from C.M.B. are:

•"Slow Motion," which has a funky beat supported by a light, carefree melody that builds throughout the song. The song is kind of moody and incorporates very cool ar­rangements.

• "Heart breaker" has a melody that sounds influenced by BBD (a branch of New Edi­tion). It features charming vocals that appear to be imitating the vocal characteristics of Stevie Wonder.

"Color Me Badd" reminds the listener of "Play That Funky Music," a '70s disco hit, with a more updated sound and stronger beat. This song will be a sure hit in the clubs.

So if you 're into funk or hip-hop, this is a disc you definitely want to have. If you 're not a fan, I still recommend it simply because it's not overbearing or heavy funk- it's just fun to listen to.

SPORTS From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

NCAA: modern day mighty Leviathan Wiii Hinton Sports Editor

Thomas Hobbes wrote in the 1600s of an entity known as the mighty Leviathan.

Hobbes' Leviathan was a ruling body that relied on its absolute powers and fear to rule in anyway it saw fit.

Well, the 17th century is alive and well in 1991. Now playing at a college campus near you-Leviathan II: the NCAA Rules Com­mittee.

These self-righteous individuals make rule after needless rule for the "betterment" of NCAA athletics, but what they are doing is imposing their personal beliefs on others.

But the NCAA has transformed from a simple rule-making and enforcement body into Sister Mary Megadeath, a cloaked tyrant just waiting to send her ruler crashing down on the knuckles of anyone who even thinks of stepping out of line.

What makes this mentality so unjust are all the vague and petty rules that exist.

"The NCAA is making so many rules, for every offense ever committed that it is im­possible to keep track of them all," said MSCD Director of Athletics Bill Helman.

Impossible, Bill, but expected. Athletic Departments are constantly op­

erating in a state of paranoia. Johnny

Jumpshot called his dying mother long dis­tance on our office phone! We better call the NCAA and see if we broke one of those rules in the section concerning the deprivation of rights where compassion is concerned.

For almost 20 years the NCAA's main whipping boy was UNL V's Jerry Tarkanian, who had more NCAA investigators on his campus than the Vatican has had cardinals.

In 1991, the hammer of justice came down on old Tark and his program was put on probation. He later announced his retirement following the 1991-92 season, which is all the NCAA wanted in the first place.

When the Tark ordeal came to a close the NCAA found it had nothing to do.

So, the people at the NCAA politburo did what they always do when this happens-they made more rules, aka, pains in the a--.

They made regulation 17.1.5, which lim­its an athlete to 20 hours of practice per week during the season and to eight hours in the off-season.

The NCAA said it enacted this rule to make sure studying was a priority over prac­tice. This, my friends, is a crock.

In the first place, a nationwide study and another one conducted at MSCD showed that the average GPA of student-athletes is higher than that of other students.

More importantly, this rule is going to cost the NCAA many ofits Olympic athletes.

~ ·. DEADLINES FOR

STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR BACHELOR OF ARTS (B.A.) DEGREE

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR B.A. DEGREE

Continuing students, enrolled prior to Summer session 1991, may earn the B.A. degree, if they fulfill the following conditions:

1. Must have been a continuing student admitted to MSCD prior to Summer session 1990;

2. Must graduate in accordance with the requirements of the 1989-90 Catalog or a MSCD catalog prior to that date;

3. Must complete all requirements for the B.A. degree in Art before the end of the Spring semester 1994;

4. MUST FORMALLY DECLARE IN WRITING IN THE OFFICE OF LETTERS, ARTS AND SCIENCES (Science Building 101) by OCTOBER 1, 1991, THE INTENTION TO EARN AB.A. DEGREE IN ART ATMSCD;

5. MUST FILE A GRADUATION AGREEMENT FOR A : B.A. DEGREE IN ART AT MSCD BY MONDAY, : DECEMBER 2, 1991. ·

Athletes who have aspirations of winning a gold medal must be allowed to practice more than 20 hours if they are to excel. This rule almost ended (and it still may) the col­lege career of Janet Evans, the most out­standing female swimmer in the country, and has all but pulled the plug on the university life of many track stars and gymnasts.

Then there is bylaw 17.l, which has cut the maximum number of games a baseball program can schedule from 70 to 56, and the number of weeks in the season from 26 to 22.

This has brought an end to fall baseball for most Division I schools since they need the full 56 game schedule in the spring, and cut MSCD's autumn season in half.

Two things are going to occur as a result of the rule. The skilllevel is going to drop and injuries are going to increase because the players will not have the time to prepare their

bodies. Former Oklahoma linebacker Brian

Bosworth wore a shirt once· that got him in a lot of trouble. It stated that NCAA was an acronym for National Communists Against Athletes. At the time it seemed in poor taste, but now I'm not so sure the Boz wasn't onto something.

Now that they don't have those back-up jobs in the Soviet Union to rely on in case they get the boot here, maybe the NCAA rule-makers will broaden their horizons and try to be more constructive.

Yeah its a stretch, but if Schwarzenegger can learn to act, then these people can learn to get a clue. 0

Correction: Last week's column stated the minimum requirement for an ACT score under Prop 48 is 15. A change in ACT scoring lead the NCAA to change the minimum to 18.

Men can't put away tired Cal Poly, tie 2-2 Mike Robuck The Metropolitan

The Cal Poly-Pomona men's soccerteam flew a long w~y to play MSCD last weekend, but a 2-2 tie after overtime left both teams feeling like they had jet lag.

The attacking MSCD offense and few substitutions left Cal Poly gasping for the thin Denver air as they were content playing long ball.

Greg Oakley was in the right place to tap in a Leonard Trujillo miss for MSCD's first goal, and Doug Clark directed a crossing pass into the back of the net for the 'Runners' other score.

The Broncos' scoring came from the foot of Rick Doeve and head of Harold Warren.

The match was played largely in Cal­Pol y 'send of the field with MSCD putting up a barrage of shots, 38, on goal. Cal Poly managed just 12 shots on goal with an of­fense that consisted of kicking long from their end and hoping for the best.

The overtime--two fifteen-minute peri­ods--gave the Roadrunners the opportunity to bring in some fresh legs off their bench.

"Peter Brown had an excellent week and our bench came through for us," Head Coach Dennis Daly said.

For MSCD, the weekend wasn't over as they saved enough leg strength to defeat Fort Lewis at home Sunday 2-0.

Women's volleyball team finishes 3rd in the Central Missouri Invitational

The Central Missouri Invitational Tour­nament proved to be a good measuring stick forthe MSCD women's volleyball team last weekend as it placed third in a 12-team field.

The Roadrunners went 4-2 in the compe­tition, their only losses coming at the hands of two of the nations top-five teams, a fact that put them back in the rankings at No. 15.

The 'Runners opened with a loss to No. 5 Central Missouri, 15-6, 13-15, 14-16and 14-16, and later fell to North Dakota State, the top-ranked team in the country, 3-15, 14-16, 15-10, 14-16.

The sting of the losses was lessened by MSCD's gritty performances and the caliber of the opponents. "We went against the No. I and the No. 5 teams in the nation and we played right with them," said Head Coach Rhonda McMullen. "It opened our eyes to how good we can be."

MSCD beat Lewis University, the Uni­versity of Nebraska-Omaha, Morningside College and the University of North Dakota.

The victory over Morningside was the most satisfying and fun for the squad. Ex-

MSCD coach Joan McDermott (formerly Tamblin) left Denver for Morningside. Her defection pumped up the 'Runners and helped them sweep the match 3-0.

"It was fun beating her," said Diane Dibble, who fought the ill effects of a kidney stone suffered earlier in the week to come back and play.

Dana Stright was the only Roadrunner to receive all-tournament honors, but she ac­knowledged it was a team effort. "I think everyone should have made all-tournament," she said. "We all played really well." 0
