~--Board gets transfer authofity __

overcome an ·impasse among the instituitons.

By Frank Mullen

The Auraria Board of Directors now has the authority to transfer funds from one Auraria institution to another and the authority to make a final decision when the institutions disagree over the consolidation of . academic· support services.

State Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Arvada) said the provision granting the board its . new overiding powers is contained in·the final version of the '-'long" approprations bill. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) will "oversee" the boards actions, he said.

Ta1wredo is the sponsor of House Bill 1498 which places Auraria under the state's "sunset provision." HB-1498 states the campus will be · reviewed . in February 1980 and could be ter­minated, continued or restruc­tured at.that time. The bill passed both houses of the legislature and now awaits the governor's signature to become law.

Presently the Auraria institutions - Metropolitan State

College, (MSC), the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) and the Community College of Denver at Auraria (CCD-A) - have individual academic support programs. These services inlclude separate financial aid offices, student health centers, student activities programs, job placement. services and offices of admissions and records.

In January the CCHE cited this duplication of services and instructed the institutions to work towards consolidating some of these services and eliminating academic and non-academic duplication at Auraria. When the institutions disagreed, however, there was no over-riding authority to make a final decision.

Jerry V{ artgow, Aura_ria executive director, said the footnote to the "long" bill provides tbe authority needed to overcome an impasse among 1he institutions.

Wartgow said eight committees were formed several months ago to study the problems of non-academic duplication on

Tivoli contract terminated by AHEC By Frank Mullen

The renovation of the histor1c Tivoli Brewery - held up for over five years by lawsuits, a defaulted contract and bureaucratic red tape - is once again in limbo.

Dan Paulien, Aurarfa director of facilities planning and utilization, said the 60-year contract between the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) and

The Associates for the Redevelopment of Tivoli (ART) was terminated May 22. He said AHEC sets a high priority on the renovation of the building and will solicit proposals from prospective developers wtthm two weeks.

Paulien said the lease agreement was terminated after ART failed to get adequate financing for the project by the May deadline. He said ART met all rent payments but were far behind on the con-

Parking rules revised Auraria students and staff are no

longer required to register their vehicles with the Auraria Parking Office, a spokesman for the campus Commi~ty Relations Office said, since new parkmg procedures eliminate the need for registration .

The spokesman said all temporary parking permits, which allow. the users to park in certain restricted zones must be renewed for the summer semester on the basis of continuing need.

Some other changes in the parking system were announced. The spokesman said all temporary parking permits, which allow the users to park in certain restricted zones must be renewed for the summer semester on the basis of continuing need.

The permits expire June 3o, unless renewed. These permits are usually used by

official visitors, vendors, repairmen, or staff requiring extensive loading-unloading privileges.

Written requests for temporary permits may be submitted to the executives of !he in­stitution involved, or to the Auraria Physical Plant Director for initial approval. The requests will be forwarded to the Auraria Parking Office for final approval.

Multi-day car pool permits may now be purchased for two or more days at 50 cents per day at the Parking Office. Parking attendants on duty during rush hours at lots G,P ,and Q also have car pool permits for sale.

Those with questions concerning cam­pus parking regulations or the purchase of permits may go to the Parking Office in the Public Safety building, 1200 Seventh St., or call 629-3257.

Summer hours announced At Auraria, summer school means

long hours in unair-conditioned class­rooms and shorter hours for some cam­pus support services. The Child Care Center, the Student Center and the Auraria Library have announced new hours for the summer term.

The Child Care Center will be open from 7:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A limited · number of full-time spaces for the children of staff and faculty will be available at $40 per week. Fee includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.

Staff and faculty children must be between the ages of 3 and 12. Students' children may be between the ages of 18 months and 12 years. There is a limited number of spaces for the younger children.

Parents may register their children at the Child Care Center from 9 to 11 a.m. or call 629-3118 for more information.

struction schedule. Phil Brady of ART said his group

obtained an equity financing commit­ment for the project from a Minneapolis corporation, but the agreements expired before ART was able to get permission to begin construction from the city. ART, he said, is in the process of ob­taining financing and wiII submit another proposal to AHEC in hopes of signing another lease on the property.

ART plans to turn the building into a $10 million-plus shopping and en­tertainment complex. ·Brady said his group has already invested over $750,poo in the renovation project and has "a definite advantage over anybody else'' who might submit a proposal to AHEC.

He said any new developer would "have to start from scratch" and would face the same kind of problems ART took two years to overcome.

"A project of this scope is. only completed when a person or group dedicates their Jives to getting it done," Brady said. "We are doing that. We are not going to give up and walk away."

The Tivoli Union Brewery, with its 114 foot tower, was the first major building to be erected on the Auraria site. The opeia house within the brewery, called the West Denver Turnball, was built in 1882 and performers played to' sellout crowds for decades.

The brewery made Tivoli beer until 1969 and the structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in

1976. Once placed on the National Register, a building must be preserved.

In 1975' the Auraria Board com­missioned a local firm to study the feasibility of restoring the building as a functional part of the campus. The study recommended Tivoli be transformed into a student center complete with a theatre for the drama departments, student ac­tivities rooms, club offices, lounges and student dining rooms.

The state thought the project too ex­pensive and the board turned to private enterprise for proposals. ART planned to turn the building into a shopping center with movie theatres, shops, restaurants and professional offices.

After the board accepted ART's proposal, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) refused to release the property, stating a shopping center was an "inappropriate use" of campus space. DURA went to court over the issue, but lost the lawsuit.

A Denver architectural firm pronounced Tivoli "structurally sound" for renovation in 1975. Paulien said later inspections confirm the building's integrity but the structure is· deteriorating and more time lost will mean more ex­pense for the developers.

"Hopefully, we can get this (renovation) together fairly quickly," Paulien said. "It is a high priority in ter­ms of preserving the building and the block . . . and in providing revenue for Auraria bond retirement."

MAKING THE .WORLD SAFE -FOR FLASH AND THE PAN.

Flash and the Pan: A mysterious identity, cloaking a brilliant debut album and an insidious new sound. Flash and the Pan! Who are these oddly monikered maniacs and why are they frying so hard?

Our story begins some months ago, when two chaps named Vanda and Young (purveyors of top pop with the Easybeats, and producers of chop-rock AC/DC) stepped into a recording studio somewhere in the Australian hinterlands ... only to emerge some time later mumbling something about Flash and the Pan.

And what little they've leaked reveals minds full of barbed words that slice through restless rock rhythms. Music as unearthly and entrancing as someone else's dreams. Songs and a vision to q~ote from, chant to, and fight for.

r Produced by Vanda & Young.

perience.

Editorial lhe swift and terrible rise of King ·N urizio

by Frank Mullen

Power corrupts, a man named Lord Acton once said, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Lord Acton's maxim can be proven by hlstory. For example, there is the case of Napoleon Bonaparte of France; of Adolph Hitler of Germany; of Joe Mc­Carthy of the U.S. Senate; of Patrick Nunzio of Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Patrick Nunzio? Yes, indeed. Nun­zio's case has been overlooked by the great political writers of our time, but his rise to power and subsequent corruption was as swift as the predicted fall and burn of Skylab into the earth's atmosphere.

Nunzi, as he was known to his frien­ds; was a mild-mannered 19-year-old gas station attendant who might have remained in the limbo of the powerless if it were not for the gas shortage of 1973. In a single month that fateful winter Nunzi was transformed from a minimum-wage grease monkey into the petty energy czar of Route 46. He became the only-law-west-of-the-George Washington Bridge, dispensing a kind of Machiavellian justice to the pilgrims heading for New York City.

The gas shortage hit New Jersey the way Hitler hit Poland and Nunzi, who worked on one of the busiest roads in the world, watched in awe as mile-long lines formed and travelers begged and bribed hlm for more gas than the five dt>llar limit allowed. At closing time it was Nun­zi's responsibility to shut down the pum-

ps and disperse the unfortunates who arrived too late to get gasoline.

He began carrying a baseball bat at closing time after one irate customer used what little gas he had left in an effort to run Nunzi down with a Buick. The other attendants quit due to increased

Letters·. Dear Editor:

The library faculty and staff had quite a different perception of the West Bank Artists Guild art show displayed in Auraria Libraries May 6-12 than that ex­pressed in the editorial in the May 10th issue of Metropolitan. What is even more important, students and faculty using the library expressed surprise at discovering a show and pleasure at the quality of the works of art. A complete printed catalog was supplied for each visitor who wished one. Several people came to the ad­ministrative suite of the library to inq\Jire how to reach the artists and how certain pieces might be purchased. These were ref erred to the MSC Art Department.

Susan Aitken, President, and Lydia Brokaw, Vice-President, of the Guild were business-like, congenial and extremely pleased to have a "gallery" with so much wall space, so many hours of potential viewing (82.5 per week), and so large a potential audience as those who frequent Auraria Libraries.

(the student and faculty contact), I do qualify as an "appreciator" of people. From my perspective, the West Bank Artists Guild show was a resounding success.

Sincerely, Charlene Alexis

Assistant Director for Public Services

To the Editor: It was with utter dismay I read the cruel

article of May 10th, written by S. Peter Duray-Bito, on the Student Art Show in the Auraria Library, and felt l really must reply. It is one thing to offer a negative opinion as to the work shown; this is something all artists must and do deal with: But to resort to this sort of malicious gossip is really demeaning, not only for the person who wrote it, but also for your publication.

In particular, the issues I make referen­ce to are:

I.The West Bank Artist Guild never ''meekly took a back seat,'' to the faculty show at the Emanuel Gallery, as is stated. We, as Metro art students are proud of the education we are gaining, and feel the work shown by the instructors to be fur­ther testimony to this.

I am sorry the writer of the editorial came before the printer delivered the catalog and that the one thing chosen for concen­trated attention was a fallen photograph. I am sorry also that none of the prize winners were mentioned, none of the quality and variety of artistic expression, none of the pleasure on the faces of numerous art 2.

workload and new occupational hazards. New workers were hlred and Nunzi found hlmself in a position of authority over the replacements. He became the de-facto night manager of the station. hls power base was formed .

He was democratic at first,

3. To state that the Metro art faculty shows work at the Emanual Gallery because "they ~can't show their work off campus " is an out and out lie. I suggest you check with the lists of past gallery shows in the area and state before you print such a statement, even by innuendo; it is really beneath you.

4. Agreed, the communication as to the student show was not up to par. Even you can take part blame for this; in that both ar­ticles sent to you were completely disregar­ded, which we did not know until after the paper was out. As to being a clique: any organization will have persons taking the initiative of leadership, urging students to become involved, thls we have tried to do.

5. The attack on the work in general, and in partic~ar, the sculpture by Robert Mangold., takes on a vindicative thrust that seems hardly warranted. True, Duray-Bito is welcome to his opinion; but I really must ask what are his credentials that he feels the need for such an attack.

I would hope that in the future you would review your editorial policy. Ar,e you an in­fonnative student publication, or a local gossip rag? Articles of this little worth do nothing to enhance the image of Auraria or Metro and nothlng but harm for the morale or understanding between faculty a n d s t u d e n t s .-

patrolling the gas line and throwing out the rowdies. Promptly at 5 p.rn. he would close down the pumps and tell any new arrivals to come back the next day if they wanted gas. No sob stories about empty tanks and long rides home could sway hlm .at first , but soon, after realizing his power over the supplicants, he developed a system of priorities.

He began giving some people preferred treatment, and throwing others out on sight.

Those who looked like poor people - minorities and people with old beat-up cars - were given gas after closing time. High School girls were allowed to jump the line and get as much gas as they wan­ted. Bartenders, whom Nunzi put at the top of the priority list, could get gas without waiting any time of the day or night as long as they returned the favor without charge when Nunzi entered their taverns.

Anyone who looked like a rich per­son, or who was known to be employed by a collection agency or finance comap­ny, was ejected from the station unless they could come up with a contribution to the Nunzio Pension Fund. (After all, . be told himself, something as wonderful as the gas crisis couldn't last forever.) Nunzi turned up his nose at contributions totalling less than $10. (After all, even

ls the highlight of your week-end a six pack in front of the "Gon_g Show?" Do you always do the same old thing, be it for lack of money or imagination? Don't despair, you're not doomed forever to the boob tube. Whether your interests lie in art or pinball, bicycling or beer making,

museums or movies, there is an abundance of entertainment available in Denver for un­der s2.00.

Movie buffs can still escape into the fantasy world of films for a mere sl.25 at eight theatres. The Gothic, Oriental, Fox Aurora, Crest, Cinema 70-1 and 70-2, Federal and Mayan show first f\IJl features at that uninflated price. A myriad of other theatres throughout the city offer substantial reductions in their admission price for at­tending shows at other than peak hours. Budget coflscious nightowls should check out the Gothic, Oriental, Vogue and Flick theatres, which offer some off-beat, but cheap midnight movies. And, for those who haven't been to the drive-in since high

establishment, and his most enjoyable victory, by his own account, involved a Bergen County Juvenile Court Judge who cruised into the station after closing time. His gas gauge read empty and his

' home was 20 miles away. -1 The judge pulled up behind a 1957

Chevy. Nunzi finished giving the Chevy a full tank. He went over to the new arrival and told him the station was closed. "What do you mean," the judge said. "You just gave that guy gas."

"He's a SJ:>ecial customer," Nunzi said, eyeing the judge's new Volvo. "But if you are willing to make a small con­tribution, I could sell you five bucks wor­th."

The judge became enraged. He showed Nunii his identification and told him he would get him fired unless the Volvo got a new tank immediately.

''I know how to handle punks like you," the judge said.

Nunzi knew this to be true. He recognized the judge's name at once. He was the same man who had sent several

~ of Nunzi's friends off to long vacations in the Youth Center. The judge was known on the streets for his stiff senten­ces and Sprio Agnew-like conservatism.

"Well, this changes everything," Nunzi said.

The judge smiled and told Nunzi to "fill 'er up."

•' "Up yours," Nunzi said. '·'Now that I know who you are I wouldn't sell you gas even if the place was open and you gave me a $20 tip. Now get the hell out of here before I get you busted for trespass­ing."

The judge's eyes were wide as quar--{. ters and his lips took on the color of a

fish's belly. He screamed he would have Nunzi arrested for giving gas to the Chevy and not to him.

"I told you," Nunzi said. "He ·is special. I buy all my marijuana from that guy and got to treat him right."

Just then, a rattletrap Volkswagen driven by a young blond woman pulled into the station. The driver asked if it was too late to get gas.

"It's never too late for you, babycakes," Nunzi said. He looked at the judge. "Quit blocking the P.Umps, buddy, This lovely lady needs some~gas."

The judge snarled. He started to open his door. Nunzi took a step back­wards and held his baseball bat the way a soldier holds a rifle at port arms. "That's it, your honor, just give me an excuse," Nunzi said. He was smiling. .

The judge ~bought it would not be a good idea to get his own gas. Nunzi, he decided, was a homicidal maniac.

"I'll have you put away!", the judge screamed.

Nunzi began to laugh. The judge's dignity was gone. He

launched a stream of words at the gas station attendant which are not to be found on the bar exam. If anyone had said those things to the judge in his cour­troom, the speaker would still be sitting in Raway State Prison.

"Tsk, tsk, ,,-Nunzi said, banging his bat on the greasy tarmac. "Order in the court! This court finds you in contempt.

,You are sentenced to run out of gas on the highway and get towed home. Case closed!"

The veins in the judge's forehead pulsed like garden hoses at Nunzi. His voice sounded like part of the sound track from ."The Exorcist."

"I'll get you1 I'll make you live to regret this," he said. "In ten minutes this place will be swarming with Fort Lee police!"

Nunzi grinned. He knew the judge was right. The Fort Lee police and their families came to the station every day af­ter closing to get gas for their private cars. ·

Cops, in Nunzi's book, were almost as important as bartenders.

ASMSC sets plans -By Sal Ruibal

The newly elected leadership of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC) began work this week on

1 the promi,ses that swept their Student Response Platform to victory in the May elections. ASMSC President Floyd Martinez and Vice-President 'Jock' Spencer ran on a fourteen point plan that emphasized in­creased participation in student government and a large voice in determining how student fees are spent.

The key task facing Martinez and Spencer is the revision of the current con­stitution. Martinez charged that the current document is "too vague ... we need to make some positive amendments that will clarify our position."

High on their list of onorities is the upgrading of M$C's image. Spence! said that manf citizens "don't recognize Metro as a real college because we don't have a football team."

The ASMSC intends to counter that negativism by going into the community with it's programs. "I think that it is impor­tant that Metro reaches out past Auraria, " Spencer said.

Martinez said that in years past the criticism of MSC was not without basis in fact. "In 1969," he said, ''the faculty quality was disgusting, really bad. There are some really brilliant people coming out- of the

universities · now, so we should recruit for quality. We also need to recruit students, to reassure them of the quality standards at Metro."

As far as the UCO-MSC merger is concerned, the new administration is vehemently opposed to any plan that would rob Metro of its individuality. "We plan on using the same tactics as last year, including the use of lobbyists," Martinez said.

Spencer and Martinez have begun to make appointments to the myriad of com­mittees and boards, but stressed that ap­pointees will come from outside usual . student government circles.

"We're establishing mandatory requirements for student government workers," Martinez said. "If they miss meetings, then out they go."

Another aspect of their plans is the formation of a program council to provide revenue-making entertainment for students at Auraria. .t\Urana.

Spencer said that the job ahead is not an easy one. "Auraria probably has the most apathetic student body around. They feel they have no control. If they really knew how much power they really have, they would be amazed," he said.

Overcoming student apathy is probably the largest task facing any student gover­nment, but the problems involved in organizing students on a commuter campus like Auraria are indeed large. '

Grourld Rou.nd ·survives punkers By S. K. Werges /

Punk rock has hit Denver once again. Attempts to blight the existance of punk rock from the Denver music scene by the

S. Peter Duray·Bito

management of Malfunction Junction was curbed by an event sponsored June 8 by Wax Trax records. The temporary rebirth of punk rock was held at The Ground Round in Lakewood. The name of the place fit the

concert but the Ground Round's management, attitude, and mood did not. I could not tell who was more surprised-the management seeing all the punkers coming in with their costumes or the patrons seeing

the management in their traditional subur­ban garb.

The Guys, The Violators, and the Defex provided the music, each with their ..­own interpretations of punk rock. The Guys, an all-girl group, opened the show. The Guys make up for their lack of musical talent in sheer energy.

The Violators are to some the premier Denver punk group and they were no disap­pointment. The lead singer of The Violators _ looks to be a young Mick Jagger with an abnormal amount of adrenlin in his system. This guy bounces off every available surface on and around the stage.

The Defex were probably the evening's best but were not as theatrically oriented as the other groups.

One thing that can be said for all the groups and their brand of music is that it will force your mind (with some liquid help) into total abandonment. Abandonment may be a little too tame of a description; Gonzo may be more appropriate. People screaming "Iggy, Iggy," bodies doing the Pogo and the Epilectic Seizure and obscenities of every " gender lace the event.

The floor of the Ground Round was reduced to a sea of destroyed plastic cups and spilled beer, making it easier to move your feet. The bands are always doing their part, stirring up some action if not by graphic body language, by the defaming of ~ races, creeds or color (perfect for a

~ Lakewood crowd). None of the ever faithful -o west suburban KKK showed up, although i I'm sure they would have gone over great 0 with the burning of a cross or two. c: If you get the impression that punk iii '< rock is hard to swallow, forget it. The ~ !P. punkers themselves will help you out with a o little force feed action. If your ears are

Denver's punk sc.E By Lou Chapman

The following is a Denver pre­eulogy.

Although it is in remembrance of one musically maverick group, it is also dedicated to the memory of broader bases of neophyte rebels who raised their beamish heads in Denver, only to find the seasons were bad, the ground was too mushy or too damn frozen; they could not run with the ball.

The majority of us only discover such subterraneans - jazz, coffee house theater, painters and poets and dancers - ex post facto: after the media has provided the necessary background and homogenization.

And it happens, before the people involved at the nebulous, indefinable beginning knew what was happening around them. The could only sense: "Shit, it's all changed, isn't it?"

The Malfunction Junction has gone country-rock, the Jonnie Three play mostly out of town or at their home, and Peaches Records and Tapes is selling Joe Jackson as if he were Donny Osmond.

On the northwest corner of the Capi­tol Hill intersection of 13th Avenue and Pearl Street is Howerd's (that is the correct spelling) Liquors, with its l 950's neon sign running vertically on the stucco wall above the front door and its portable TV above the sales counter always on.

The 600 block of 13th Avenue, east to Washington Street, is a cheap arcade

of empty or broken two-bit booths: fit­ness centers, a used records store, a cash discount club, a beauty salon and a laun­dramat and a restaurant and a three-story Public Service building housing a quiet transformer.

In the middle of the block is the Malfunction Junction, announcing its current attraction with two-feet-tall let­ters made from newspaper print stapled to the boarded-over windows.

The Malfunction Junction was once the heart of this tired block, though it was usually sedate. But the heart - oc­casionaly, rarely - would wake up, receive a hit of adrenaline, and throb primitively with a steady, strong pulse full of oxygen and blood, pumping music out the doors of the Malfunction Jun­ction, pumping life down the street and ;: alley.

On those weekend nights, when the block was hopping and its erratic heart racing, it was even money the adrenaline was the Jonnie Three.

When the Jonnie Three performed at the Malfunction (the last name is drop­ped in conversation), no one would mind • shelling out relatively higher cover prices or · being packed in wall to wall, sweltering and smoke-eyed. The pool players had a hell of a time getting off their shots before having their elbows knocked by someone passing by on his way to or from the restrooms or the bar. _..

The only common denominator among the crowd was the red stamp on

delicate, your stomach weak, forget punking it and go bowling at Celebrity. But if you are

~ a voyeur with a kink in your dimensional perception, check it out. Surely after prolonged exposure to punk rock you will:

1) glow in the dark because of the increased temperature in your reactor; 2) join some anti-something group; 3) just get loose as a goose with an extended snoot.

'ne: dead or alive? the back of one of everyone's hands. The management at the door marked you in case you wanted to leave and return ... maybe to get over to Howerd's before midnight, when both Howerd's and the

1 Malfunction must by law shut down (the Malfunction· is a 3.2 establishment).

There was no dress pattern on nights when the Jonnie Three or similar groups played, except for a tendency toward styles from the 1950s: men's pleated pan­ts and girls' tight sweaters. wide lapels and narrow neckties (Millie's It'll Do, a second-hand shop down the street, is all · out of narrow neckties), and a number of guys wearing T-shirts, tight pants, and · nouveau-ducktail haircuts, looking as if they are costumed for ,"Rebel Without a Cause."

~ . Then there were the people who -'Mthout having to go home to change their clothes or their manners - could have left the Malfunction and zipped out to Glendale or down the street to "David's" for a little disco. . The music was too loud to converse

without yelling or carefully articulating .. your words directly into the ear of your

listener. But all around, with their feet stomping in rhythm, their heads bobbing in rhythm, and their 3.2 beer going down in rhythm, people were talking with no more strain than if they were hanging out at the card catalog of the local library.

., "I guess you just don't think of it as loud when you want to talk," one girl ex­plained. Her foot never stopped tapping

/ .

on the floor; her jaws never stopped chomping on her chewing gum.

The music rolled over and over itselt, like a mass chant from 70,000 football fans in 4/4 time at the speed of old Chuck Berry songs: Block that kick, hey! -faster - Block that kick, hey!

It was not muddied and confused with the acid-rock, wired, feedback: noise of the late 1960's. It was straight rock and roll.

It was the enthusiasm of the foot­stomping Dave Clark Five, shot up with a load of dynamite. It was Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent (whose faces appeared on lapel buttons here) drunk one night, saying "Let's just blast one for a god­damned change!"

The words, despite the amplified voice of 24-year-old lead singer and guitarist Kenny Vaughan, .were miin­telligible until after multiple exposures.

The songs of the Jonnie Three were short, three minutes at the maximum, like the '50s and early '60s. They each started with a bash a:nd a jolt from the whole group (Vaughan, drummer Leroy Smith, bassist Nie Leuthauser, and saxophonist and keyboards player Miles Gassaway), or with a quick Chuck Berry­style riff from Vaughan, or an introduc­tory, pace-setting, tom-tom measure or two from Smitlr.

Each song built quickly, each measure feeding the next, the almost syn­copated, always varied drumming never

No-N-ukes m·ovement has meltdown in Platteville $

By Sal Ruibal

It seems that everytime more than twenty people between the ages of 17 and 30 congregate for any reason, a t-shirt salesman is there to sell you a wearable souvenir of the event. The June 2 demon­stration at the Fort St. Vrain nuclear power facility was no exception. .

After running the leaflet gaunlet of every axe-grindinr organization this side of Milwaukee, potential demonstrators were treated to a bizarre bazaar featuring no less than ten types of No-Nukes t­shirts, twelve assorted bumper stickers, various pins, badges, scarves and gee­gaws. The star of the show was a solar­powered propellor beanie done up in Bronco orange. Perhaps the hip capitalist who ~reamed up this gimmick plans to peddle his wares at Mile High Stadium when the no-nukes season is over.

Despite the abundance of "advanced solar technology" on display (and sale), the organizers of the demonstration called on Public Service Company to provide juice for the microphones and amplifiers on the flatbed stage. The ultimate irony of an anti-nukes affair being powered by a m1clear plant was avoided because the plant was running at only 2 percent oower due to a mysterious 'shimmy' (see Act II, Scene 3, "The

Lawrence at 10th St

Having devoured one victim, the crews were thirsting for more gore. The event organizers were smart enough to save the really photogenic folks for the right moment. I overheard someone yell, "Okay, bring out the grizzled old man in the 'Save the Whales' shirt." After that it was a succession of old women in gingham and mirrored shades, cute kids with balloons, buxom young women with painted faces, White Russians in pith helmets and fake beards, et cetera, ad nauseum.

Finally the Event ·began. After much mike buzz and endless "testing 1-2-3"s, the first speaker came to the podium. He announced that he was introducing the person who was going to introduce the first speaker. Dave Minshall emitted an audible groan.

Sinc'e the Denver media had deadlines to meet, it was now or never. After much self-serving back slapping and pseudo-Woodstock pronouncements about the crowd, the first speaker began to verbalize.

Wizened media directors know that it is necessary to put your best stuff on first, so the TV folks get a take and split for the news room. Someone forgot to tell the organizers at Fort St. Vrain. Demonstrations are not rock concerts (Rocky Flats notwithstanding), so the whole process of building excitement is not necessary. The point is to get your

ideas across to as many people as possible. It was not necessarry to sell the idea of no-nukes to people who drove six­ty miles into the Northern Colorado heartland on the most beautiful day of the year. It's the folks in Arvada and Northglenn that they wanted to reach and the best way to reach Mr. and Mrs. Colorado is via the nightly news. In this respect.the Fort St. Vrain demonstration was a failure.

Journalists being the rats that we are, we sensed the ship was sinking before . it ev..en got out of the bay. Not wanting to .... make the day a total loss, we took our portable newsroom to the Farmer's Inn, a small Mexican food bar in La Salle. Experiencing a gastronomic meltdown after three smothered burritos and a pitcher of non-political beer, we became solar collectors in a nearby park. While allowing the pintos and chile to digest, my companions and I discussed what had gone down.

The anti-nuke issue is an important one, and because of its importance, it should not be managed by incompetents and fast-buck cornmercialists. I doubt that the whole affair in Platteville did anything to change minds about the plant. When the movement stops all the holier-than-thou, carved-in-stone pronouncements and drives the moneychangers from the temple, it will be a viable force.

- Smokers place Science Building in jeopardy By Lois Brownlee

·~ At two entrances to the Science Building large signs warn, "DANGER: NO SMOKING IN THIS BUILDING". The signs are in red letters, two inches high, yet smokers light up unconcerned beneath the signs, surrounded by a blue­gray haze.

_ The Physical Plant Department defensively protests that the signs are there because of chemicals and fumes in the building, but their staff has no way of enforcing the NO SMOKING signs. They simply hope to discourage smokers with it.

In Dean S.G. Sunderwirth's office "the secretary says the signs were put up when the staff first moved into the new building because the smoke floating to the ceiling caused the fire alarms to go off constantly. The signs have never been taken down, although the sensitive fire alarm system has been tamed. She says

Jo<there really is NO SMOKING on the third floor, however.

''They really stick to the rules up there," she says. "No smoking, not even in the halls. Good safety precautions are taken there."

On the third floor there is another ,,red NO SMOKING sign, but two men stand outside the fire door smoking, using the tall gray trash bin as an ashtray. No one is smoking in the halls, though.

A chart on the third floor Central

Stockroom wall lists Emergency Proc~d~r~s for Dangerous Materials. Faint fumes cross the counter and there is a soft whirring of machinery with the occasional sound of metal against metal. Attendant Tom Cruger says there is no real danger.

Mike Milash, the lab co-ordinator for the UCO Chemsitry Department, obligingly conducts a tour to prove there is no real {}anger.

Elaborate safety precautions include storing flammable materials on the third floor in bright red bottles only, Milash says. Materials such as acetone and ether, which are highly flammable, are never used in laboratories where there are flames. Such materials are used with

· Martin mantels, a device that looks like a bonnet for a pygmy grandmother rather than with a flame.

In the storage room, Milash points out three sensors so sensitive that even lighting a match in the room will bring the fire engines down Speer Boulevard in a flash. There are hooded vents and exhausts for fumes as well as huge floor exhausts that go all the way up to the ceiling. Metal shelves are grounded and wired down.

Milash proudly points to red metal tanks which would flood the storerooms immediately if the fire alarm went off.

The doors on the third floor are metal fire door~ installed by order of the Denver Fire Department.

In the hall there's more red, this time red emergency gas shutoff boxes on the walls.

All compressed gas cylinders are tightly secured by clamps to tabletops and shelves. Why?

"Because," Milash replies, "these things would go off like a rocket through walls and anything else that got in their way if they were knocked down."

Students in the labs are wearing goggles as required by state law. A laboratory instructor is with .each group, for no one is allowed to work alone. No chance for budding Dr. J ekylls to blow up the lab, at least on their own. Precautions for any lab emergencies or .accidents are readily available. Chemicals stand ready for any acid burns or spills in the eyes. Safety showers, eye wa~h. fire blankets and extinguishers and fire hoods are prominently displayed. Students are taught where these are and how to use them each semester, Milash says.

Lab cautiousness even extends to having students use glycerol to lubricate bottle stoppers before inserting glass tubing to make sure there are no cuts from broken glass. They are advised to hold the tubing and bottle with gloves or cloth as well.

First aid kits are open, not locked. No one worries about Band-Aid pilfering. Containers for organic waste sit on the floor. Just in case all else fails, there are at least two exits from every

room. Milash admits there should be fire

safety cabinets located in two organic chemistry labs, the biochemistry lab and the criminalistics lab.

"They're needed to store flammable solvents used by students." Why doesn't the Science Building have them? "They were deleted for budget reasons," he says, adding, "They really are needed."

What does the denver Fire Department say about the signs?

John Marshall in the Denver Fire Prevention branch of the fire department says the whole building was posted because there could be flammable liquids being used anywhere in the building. The third floor is the main danger, however. It is inspected by Fire Prevention periodically, and according to Marshall, "They do a relatively good job on a day­to-day basis."

Then there's no real danger? "Well, there could be a problem

with smoking when they're moving flammable fluids . They are sometimes lax and careless about things like that.••

The Fire Department takes no responsibility for the signs. "It's up to the staff in the Science Building to enforce the signs. Our only concern is the third floor," Marshall said.

Do the signs mean anything? Will we all blow up if smokers light up? Probably not, unless ...

A 15-second pause, an audible "one, two, three, four," and they were into the next one. .

Just as they didn't play any slow ballads or laggardly love songs, they wouldn't mess with orchestrated· fade-ins or cute fade-outs . There didn't seem to be any time for that type of music or antics. It would have beer. cheating.

Even at home it was rock and roll, straight forward and alive.. . ·

The Jonnie Three originated in Lit­tleton, and still live there. In their garage­turned two-room bungalow-turned rehearsal studio (also Smith's home and flophouse for the group), located just behind the Velour Hardware Store on Main Street, their time has been. spent · listening to and playing music.

"Wait until you guys hear this one," Smith said, "We've got to learn this one."

He put down his Miller's beer and went out of the bedroom/kitchen into the livingroom/studio to put on the record.

He came back into the room, leaned

against the doorframe - with five people in the room there was no place left to sit - and the t.une started blasting out, rattling the etnpty beer cans stacked against the refrigerator next to the win­dow covered with someone's jacket.

Their- e:9es passed from one to the other with the recognition of something they must share. They passed around the bottle of Jack Da.Iiiels, each took another hit from his beer, and all listened carefully to the Monkee's version of "Mary, Mary. "

The song ended and they all smiled. Smith jumped up and again ran into the next rodm. The Collins Kids, circa 1956,

. rocked the handbill-and-poster-covered walls with "Hop, Skip, and a Jump."

Gassasaway, -25 years old, told the story of the Collins Kids: ages 12 and 15 when they hit lhe big time, who taught the younger one to play the guitar like a demon, where they lived, what happened to them, the whole works.

It's been a passion with the Jonnie Three, this almost manica1, certainly fanatical love for background of the lives of the people who made all the music that has turned them on.

One Saturday night, after a party where they had played (the Malfunction,­despite having other live music that-night, was dead) they sat around at 3:00 a.m.,

listening to the Johnny Burnette Trio. Leuthauser, socially laconic, if not with­drawn, (playing .his electric .bass he becomes an extension of its circuitry .like a live wire on stage) explained the rock-a- . billy style of the Burnette Trio. He told in quiet tones how it is more pure and earlier than Elvis's first attempts, how it changed when they' became commercial later in the 1950s, how they "sort of sold out." Leuthauser is 29 years old.

And this love of pure, original rock and roll - as a matter of lifeblood, not merely as an interest - on certain weekend nights once upon a time found its way to the Malfunction Junction. The 25-foot dance floor would become crammed with sweating bodies doing the Pogo or the Epiletic (the names imply the movements theymimicked), or the bodies simply jumped up and around. It looked like a 25-foot frying pan with a bunch of human-size French fries dropped into the hot oil.

He dances every dance, whether or not he can find a partner. He dances likli a marionette caught in a Waring food blender.

The Jonnie Three did two encores that night: "Highway 66." and "Little Latin Lupe Lu." The lights came on bright, and the crowd ambled out onto 13th Avenue, as the manager of the Malfunction tried wearily to pawn off his last six-packs of.3.2 beer ~

The crowd fragmented, part of it going past Mutual cle<lllers; part going the other way, past Siskb's Cafe and Wax Trax.

Across .the street, humming silently in the night, was that red brick utilities building with its one-foot square signs warning the passersby on the 600 block of 13th Avenue: High Voltage.

AH-EC gets authority continued from page l composed of representatives from the three institutions and from the Auraria staff. He said the committees have sub­mitted several reports which are now being studied by the chief executives of Auraria's institutions.

If the executives of MSC, UCD and CCD-A disagree on a final consolidation proposal in an area where they have decided consolidation is needed, then the Auraria Board can make the ultimate decision under the "overview" ·of the CCHE. "Philosophically, the Auraria Board and the CCHE are pretty much

together," Wartgow, a former CCHE deputy director, said.

Once the committees have decided upon the feasibility of consolidating a particular service, he said, the service will be assigned to the responsibility of one of the institutions. ·

"There are some tough decisions which are ~oing to have to be made," Wartgow said.

He said "the leading candidates" for future consolidation are the areas of. student health services, job placement and classified personnel.

Denver's cheap .thrills continued from page 5 back again. Not only is it fun, but it's probably the only place you'll ever see a Bald Eagle or Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep.

The Denver Public Library on Broad­way bears mentioning, for it presents frequently changing exhibits, films and programs, all of which are free. And, it has a huge collection of books, periodicals and records.

If you still haven't seen anything in­teresting, Denver is full of free art galleries, thrift shops and flea markets, unusual and ethnic shops, and bars and discos offering two-fers and happy hours. Or, you could tour old homes and mansions that are open

to the public, Coors Brewery, located m Golden and offering free samples, the U.S. Mint (don't expect samples) or the State capitol. If you'd rather tour on a bike than your feet, call 934--0861 to find out the meeting time and place of The Denver Bicycle Touring Oub. Rides are scheduled every week-end. Denver also has many lovely parks iJ:L which to simply sunbathe or enjoy a picnic lunch, and a Botanic darden that changes with the seasons.

So, next time boredom strikes, turn on your imagination instead of the T.V. There really is something for everyone's interest and budget in the Mile High City.

Does your business need a boost?
