Adams State President Takes Metro Helm Only Here

Metropolitan State College's new inte­rim president, William M. Fulkerson Jr., has come to Metro with a belief in higher education and a mission to bring better service to the students of the school.

"I don't like to see students stand in line." Fulkerson, Adams State College Presi­

dent since 1981, sets a high priority on cooperation and effective management to improve college administration.

"It's my job to try and pull people together and define the mission of the school," he said.

"Metro has been under pressure because of its success. Its surprising how well this school has done considering all the obsta­cles its had to overcome."

The 46 year-old president said the big­gest problems he sees at Metro are service to the students, attitude and lack of direction.

Some of Fulkerson's successes at Adams c:~:ite are helping to raise $3 million in 9ri­vate Cbntributions, increasing the graduate school programs and bringing about a more personal touch to the college, some­thing be said he wants to do at Metro.

"I hope the students get involved in the school. I would like to know what they like and don't like. I may not agree with them but I'd still like to know."

Metro, he said, has a lot going for it. "The physical plant and the dedication

of the teachers iS superb."

One Year

Fulkerson has always been active in his school-whether as its president or as a student. He played first clarinet in high school and was the rarest of baseball play­ers in college-a left handed pitc\ler.

He said shattering his leg during his baseball days gave him the opportunity to focus on his career in education

"It was shortly after that happened that a woman -a teacher I had - came to me and said 'Isn't it about time you did some­thing with your life?'"

Now his baseball activities are confined to rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals.

The new president emphasized the importance of a school in its community.

"It's important for people to know that an institution is an integral part of the community not just an ivory tower."

Adams State, he said, is the biggest busi­ness in its region.

"It was important that we spent our money wisely."

The uniqueness of the Metro student population offer some problems and advantages to the next president,he said.

A NOTICE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

AURARIA GROWS FOR THE YEAR 2000

Over the next two years, Auraria students, f acuity, and staff will witness dramatic changes in road systems, parking lot configurations and access to and from the campus. With the closure of Lawrence and Larimer streets through the campus, construction of the Auraria Parkway, completion of the new Auraria replacement facility, and reconstruction of the Speer Bou­levard viaducts, Auraria will take on a new look.

The Auraria Campus will be a more attractive place. Parking, movement through and travel to and from the campus will be easier.

However, there will be inconveniences, as construction procedes. Periodic updates on con­struction schedules and plans, street closures and detours, and paking lot closures and recon­figurations will be made available to the campus community.

Questions regarding these projects can be addressed to either:

Faculty Members Take Money and Run

Laurence Curtis Washington Joan Davies Reporters

Auraria's faculty members, and other state employees 5.5 to 59 years old will be eligible for the Public Employees Retire­ment Association's (PERA) early retirement program. The program can earn them a 35 percent salary increase during their final year, according to Sandi Jones, director of Personnel and Payroll Services at Metro­politan State College.

"Colorado Senate Bill 69 has made this possible," she said. The program is called the "modified rule of 75": an employee's age and service must total 75 in order for him to be eligible. Prior to this rule, an employee who did not have 20 years of service could not retire before 60 without losing a lot of money.

"There's no move to try to retire anyone," Jones said. "It's just a good deal. Faculty members who are ready to retire love it."

Colorado is only offering this plan for two months, so employees must total 75 during July and August to be eligible.

The board of trustees has added an incentive plan for those who wish to partic­ipate. "It's estimated at least 15 faculty members will take advantage of PERA's plan," Jones said.

In the incentive plan, the consortium will retroactively adjust its 1986-87 contract by 15 percent above the 1985-86 contract; therefore, totalling a higher salary into the final average salary for retirement.

Faculty members who have at least 10 years with the consortium and are 65 or older, are 60-64 with 20 or more years of service, or are 5.5-59 with 30 years of service will receive a 20 percent bonus of the adjusted salary in addition to the 15 per· cent. The 20 percent bonus is not figured into the highest adjusted salary; it is just a bonus payment.

Dr. Warren Weston, a member of the Political Science department, believes the plan is a good one - depending on the member's status. "It's particularly attrac­tive to people over 60 who have 20 years in, but it's not particularly attractive if you're under 60 or don't have 20 years," he said. Weston, who has 18 years of service, fig­ures he will benefit more if he stays a few more years.

"It's a nice cash bonus," Weston said, and added the plan is more attractive to faculty members who have alternative careers. Since he doesn't, he said he's content remaining on the faculty here. D

A new computer, a record-setting num­ber of applicants, and a staff that should be doubled in size contributed to tardy award announcements to financial aid applicants this year, said Cheryl Judson, MSC's direc­tor of financial aid.

"It's been a disaster. We originally plan­ned to have everyone's data verified by mid-June," Judson said. "But, because of problems with the new computer - which is working now, and it's wonderful - we didn't get done until July 4th."

Metro previously averaged about 6,000 financial applicants a year, Judson said. This year 5,000 have applied, and it may go to 8,000.

"Last year at this time we had almost 2,000 applicants," she said.

''Its been a disaster"

"We've always been low as far as finan­cial aid applicants are concerned." "Five thousand is about right for a school this size, and 5,000 applicants is a lot of work for 14 people."

Of the 5,000 people who applied, 1,900 have been awarded work study or grants. The remaining 3,100 will receive Pell grants or Guaranteed Student Loans, if eligible.

"Hopefully, we1l have everyone notified by the end of the week," Judson said. "If not, they should contact us. We have been able to use the phone bank at the school to help handle our calls, and we have a differ­ent system at the office to help speed things up."

New Loan Program at Metro

Jim Manuel Editor

MSC will be one of only 10 schools in the country participating in a new student loan

. program designed to allow the minimum loan repayment to be based on the stu­

. dent's income after leaving school, Cheryl Judson, MSC director of financial aid said.

The new program, called the Income Contingency Loan program, will be similar to the Guaranteed Student Loan program but with some significant differences:

The student will borrow from the school at 81' percent interest instead of a bank at 8 percent; interest will begin accruing on the loan as soon as the first check is issued, as opposed to grace period after the student leaves school; interest will continue accru­ing on the unpaid balance while the student is repaying the loan.

Students can expect to incur a lot more debt paying for school, Judson said.

Another new organization, the Colorado ~ .Student Loan program, will purchase a

U student's loans and consolidate them into cu d one loan for easier repayment.

"Debt management is a new buzzword in financial aid now. After this year, all the methods used to determine aid will be chanS1;ed by congress."

Under the new guidelines, a freshman who used $4,000. in aid would be ineligible for aid the followinSI; year. "It's bad," Judson said. "Congress thought they were simplifying the rules, but they've made it more complicated." 0

New Student President Returns Power to Students

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Attention Metro State College students: Martin J. Norton would like you to give him a call at 5.56-32.53.

Or stop by his office at room 340C in the Student Center.

Or maybe you'll see him talking to the people standing in the lines outside the financial aid office.

Martin J. Who? you ask. Martin J. Norton is the new student body

president at Metro State and he wants to give government back to the students.

Norton and vice president Kelly Martin began their tenure last spring, trying to sort out the confusion left over from last year's two administrations.

Norton said he was upset last April with Metro's student government, and that prompted his decision to test the electoral process.

"I was an angry student-angry with the irresponsibility in student government," he said.

Martin, who became a senator last February, said she watched one president's resignation and a rough transition lead to a disorganized student government.

"The senate meetings had gotten so out of hand. There was a lot of strain," Martin said. Former president Gina Houx, who took office after the resignation of Mark Gerhart, did an outstanding job, she said. "She got the senate to look at some prob­IPms."

Still, Norton and Martin inherited a government with so much internal fighting and poor organization that any chance for real progress was blocked.

So they began the day after classes ended in May by familiarizing themselves with their offices and officers.

In an unprecedented move to get a head start, Norton had the senate meet once a month during the summer and began inven­ting ways to make student government more visible.

The senate made a w~kend retreat to the mountains to attend organizational workshops and become better acquainted with one another. And the Metro and CU­Denver student governments will co-spon­ser an ice cream social Sept. 2 and 3.

Now, as the year begins, Norton and Martin hope they can tackle issues ranging from the lack of lighting on campus to the lack of control student government has with the campus's governing body, the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) .

But Metro students will be the real focus of Norton and Martin's attention. They hope between more student involvement and a more cohesive student senate, pro­gress will replace last year's stagnation.

"We want students," Norton said. 'There's a lot of responsibility that lies with the students. We can have input on every program that goes on at this school."

"Twice a month out of your life is not too much to ask," he said. "Your whole life doesn't have to be dedicated to the senate."

Show your Auraria l.D. and receive one FREE draft beer with lunch.

Norton said this year campus clubs will be given a higher priority in financial matters.

"We'll try to give more opportunity to clubs that were shut out last year. We want more of their involvement in actually re­cruiting for funds. Some clubs don't even know about the funds," he said.

Martin said she hopes this year's Senate will eliminate the bickering that she saw plaguing their predecessor.

"The turnout for the (summer) meetings has been 70 percent. The mean age of the senate is 28. We have real strong experience. And we're having a hard time keeping the meetings under three hours," she said.

"We should have more clout than we do with AHEC. There's only one student representative to AHEC," Norton said.

Norton and Martin said they would also like to see Metro students become more active in their own education, and both believe student government can help.

"We want to help the students as much as possible, let them know student govern­ment is there," Norton said. "We need students for the committees. For example, the Campus Recreation Advisory Com­mittee-if there is a rec student who is interested, it would be perfect."

Norton plans to publish the list of com­mittees that still need members and hopes they can be filled by students at-large instead of student senators.

Norton also stressed that students who sit on committees won't have to give up much of their time. o

I.D. Price Jumps 66% Norton says hike not justifi~d

Laurence Curtis Washington Reporter

The administration of Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) over the summer raised the cost of student ID' s from $3 to $.5. to eliminate the subsidation from the Stu­dent Center, according to Gary McManus, director of the Student Center.

"One reason for this is the cost of supply has gone up. There's also the need for that program to stand alone, and not be subsid­ized by the Student Center. Slowly its been trying to stand on its own, but it never made enough money to get there," McMa­nus said.

Martin Norton, President of the Asso­ciated Students of Metropolitan State Col­lege, feels the increase isn't justified.

"I don't see where their cost have gone up in the lamination. They have already invested in all the laminating equipment. To me it's just another form of AHEC asserting power over all three institutions, and not even justifying why they did it. They did it when there's no control over tht" summer months, when students aren't being

represented, when all three governments are in the middle of transition. Our repre­sentatives will be asking questions about it as things come around, but the damage is already done," he explained.

When Yolanda Ortega, director of Stu­dent Activities for Metro, questioned AHEC's action she said their reply was "Well, the presidents were there. The executives were there. They should have said something."

McManus reports that other other area colleges like the University of Denver, the University of Colorado and Colorado State University have different ways of charging their fees . Some charge $1 a semester, which comes out to be the same as AHEC' s program, or a few dollars more. "Abee just decided to charge a flat fee to make it easier," McManus said.

McManus hopes that by charging the full cost of ID's, enough funds will be accumu­lated to start a new ID program, and they will be able to provide a better service to students. D

OP-ED Who Asked Us?

It's oh so tempting to start out this new school year with the excuse that the last school year has left such a monstrous han­gover on this campus that maybe we should just tip-toe on through the year without paying too much attention and maybe no one will get hurt.

We suffered another disappointing loss of the school president, a trend that is becoming a real detriment to the school. The loss, especially under the tumultous cir­cumstances that preceeded his departure, left a sense of frustration among those who had invested so much time and effort to lure him here. It is imperative to this school's future that a strong, dynamic per­son be found to lead this school to its poten­tially stellar future. It won't be easy.

Last year's student government presi­dent came perilously close to making a mockery of his office, his administration the school, and worst of all, the few fine students who took the time and made the effort to elect him. His reported obstinance and his tendency to lead by intimidation will hopefully serve as examples of how not to lead.

Much needs to be done; many questiom that have gone unanswered-or under­answered-need immediate, complete and thorough answers. And we, the student body, must be the voice that raises those questions. There are ample excuses to allow this unified voice to be stillborn: there are jobs to be attended to; families to be cared for; movies to see; friends to share time with .. . the list is endless. And so are the penalties for our inattention.

While we sit and count the days until finals are over, gifted faculty members are being ungraciously dismissed for reasons that could be (generously) described as dubious. These teachers-and that is what they are, in the best sense of the word-are more than human reciting machines spew­ing out an Pndless stream of incomprehens­ible facts, figures, and rules. They are

Martin Deserve The new senators and officers of the

Associated Students of Metro State College resemble a group of students during their first day of classes.

They're going into their beginnings with a lot of questions, a little wariness, and much hope.

uWill I be able to cut the mustard, to make the grade?" each wonders.

And like the class before its first big· exam, the student government has yet to be tested, to discover if they've bitten off more than they can chew.

But in reality, those in ASMSC are not nervous classmates in an English 101 class, they are students who care enough to think that what they can accomplish this year may make a difference.

Martin Norton is the new president of ASMSC. He's the leader of the pack, the one all the others look to when the going gets rough.

Norton and vice president Kelly Martin, a senator last year for four months, now have to take this class of newcomers and hopefully steer it out of the scandal-ridden muck of Mark Gerhart' s presidency and his

teachers who taught-an all to rare breed in colleges today. They brought a perspec­tive to the classroom that made learning a joy: and that is the highest compliment a teacher can be paid.

Enoch Needham, a former jomalism instructor, was not offered a new contract this year. He chose not to contest the administration's decision, but instead to seek his livelihood where his formidable talents would be better appreciated. Those who had the opportunity to be his pupils should count themselves fortunate." Those who will never have the opportunity to come under his tutelage should be pitied. He is an exemplary teacher and will be missed.

Larry DiPaolo, an English instructor, also was not offered a new contract this year. But has chosen to fight the adminis­trations decision. No valid reasons for his attempted dismissal have been offered. It has been said - by more than one person who is in a position to know - that some­one in the department doesn't like him. Doesn't like him. Twelve years of DiPao­lo's life have been spent making teaching an art form. Twelve years of his life have been spent taking students on glorious trips across the beautiful landscape of history and literature, all in the hope that the pain­staking work of learning where the com­mas and periods go would not mask the beauty of the English language when in the hands of a master. He has met far more success in his endeavors than failure.

His unwavering enthusiasm for his sub­ject, his students, and most of all, for his difficult craft of teaching, separates him from many teachers who convey the atti­tude of killing time until something better comes along. To think that a school which is supposed to rank teaching as its highest priority would even consider dismissing him is ludicrous. It conjures up a cloud of hypocrisy that would blind even the most naive observer.

If it turns out that this whole unnecessary mess came about because someone didn't like him, because someone could not raise himself above the petty politics that is all too often endemic in bureauracies, because someone put his own comfort above the needs of the student population, then we­as well as the faculty-should see the situa­tion for what it is: a clear message that we, the student body, the very people this school was created for, do not count. A message that the faculty should not become overly concerned about our education and should instead concentrate on keeping the powers that be happy lest they cast a dis­approving eye in the faculty's direction. It is a clear message showing that those who

doesn't get any more real than this.. We have an interim president at Metro

this year who says he believes his mission is to bring everybody together, to provide better services to the students and to help the students.

are placed in positions of responsibility to create an atmosphere where learning is considered important are remiss in their • duties.

A hearing was held August 4 to deter­mine Larry DiPaolo's future with this school. Hopefully, for the students' sake, for the faculty's sake, and for the school's sake the decision will be in DiPaolo • s favor. Such a decision would go a long way in avoiding a permanent stain being placed on the record of this school. The important thing to remember in this instance is, Who asked us?

A particularly insightful professor recently said that many students have the mistaken impression that school is not·real life. Unfortunately, many of us do take that attitude. Though it is doubtful any of us will ever invest such a large amount of time and money in anything else we ever do, we often think of the college experience as preparation for the real world. This kind of attitude is exactly what is going to get us in trouble. College is real. The money used to pay tuition is real. The people who want to make the rules are as real as real can be. Next time you are studying for an exam, try to convince yourself that anxious feeling in your stomach and head is an illusion. It

D.M. Huebner successor Gina Houx' s attempts to salvage that administration.

Gerhart, who resigned in February when it was discovered he had used student government money to purchase textbooks, ran the government with a tight leash. He alienated most of the senators and in turn created an atmosphere in which little could be accomplished.

Houx was charged with revitalizing the government while Gerhart, who claimed he was going to repay the money in time, became a senator. It was this kind of crazi­ness which made the student government something of a laughingstock.

Houx did an admirable job, but the government still lacked a continuity important to any group of student government leaders.

But now under Norton and Martin, an inexperienced but energetic pair, student government seems poised for a comeback.

The least this new administration deserves is a fair shake. The most it deserves is high expectations. They can make things change. Norton and Martin know it and so does the rest of the administration.

The senate already is full with the' maximum 25 members. Last year, there was an average of 14 to 20 senators at any one time during the year.

Committees are being staffed by students recruited by Norton, and he is still actively pursuing more students.

They want to give government back to the students.

You can say "Sure, I've heard that one before," but both seem sincere in their desire to see Metro students active in the school government.

All the new administration asks for is a chance. A chance to see if change is possible when faced with a superpower like AHEC or a college administration in limbo with, or so it seems, a different president each year.

Then in May, it will be determined if ASMSC deserves the "Colle~e Comeback Student Government of the Year" award.

When planners envisioned the Auraria campus in the late 1960's, they knew the existing grid of streets in the urban renewal area would need extensive changes to reroute thousands of vehicles passing through the campus every day. The most difficult and expensive change was the removal of Lawrence and Larimer Streets - two major arterials into and out of downtown which bisect the core of the campus and result in major safety hazards, according to a press release from Larry Ambrose, director for Development at Auraria.

The Auraria Board of Directors, formed in 1971, made the renovation project one of its highest priorities and set aside a wide strip of land on the north edge of the cam­pus along Wazee Street to accomodate the change. Funding for construction of the Auraria Parkway became available recently and construction should be completed in 1988, according to the press release.

The Auraria Board of Directors also planned to replace University of Colorado at Denver buildings located on the east side of Cherry Creek Street with a new facility. While the historic buildings exuded charac­ter, office and classroom space were inade­quate for the university's growing needs: the buildings were uncomfortable and costly to maintain and access across Speer Boulevard to the main campus was diffi­cult and dangerous.

Funding for a new building on campus became available in 198.5, due to a coopera­tive effort of the Colorado State Legisla­ture, the Auraria Board, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, and the University of Colorado Board of Regents. The 254,000 square foot replacement facil­ity is expected to open January 1988, according to the press release. This is the largest building ever constructed for higher education in Colorado.

Plans for the campus will result in a cen­ter for learning and reflecting. The plans feature plazas accentuated by sculpture, foliage and landscaping. Students, faculty and staff will experience temporary incon­veniences such as street closures, detours, parking lot reconfigurations, disrupted walkways, and general constuction clutter during the constuction. Most of the Auraria parking lot construction will occur next summer; while other project construction will coincide as closely as possible with the ends of semesters to minimize incon­venience.

Construction continues on the East Classroom Replacement building, which when com­pleted this December, will be the largest building for Higher Education in Colorado.

The reconstruction of the Speer Via­ducts and resulting relocation of Speer Boulevard is another major city road pro­ject that will affect the campus. Construc­tion should be completed about the same time as the Auraria Parkway. Because of che road improvements, parking lots on both sides of the campus will be reconfigured.

According to the press release, parking lots will be more accessible, although there will be fewer spaces; this problem will be solved in the future with construction of decked parking or acquisition of more land for surface parking.

The following map may make the con-struction plan easier to understand. D

Clinical concern continues on campus Pat Beckman Reporter

It's 3 p.m. You have 40 minutes left before your last class for the day ends. Your eyes are watering and your nose is running. Everytime you sneeze you must pull a long train of toilet paper from your pocket. You ran out of kleenex two classes earlier ('snot a pretty sight) .

You'd like to go home and get some rest, but you must be at work in two hours. And you have neither the time nor money to see your family physician. What should you do?

If you're an MSC student enrolled for at least one credit hour, you're entitled to the

i • • • • • : i

services provided by MSC' s Student Health Clinic at little or no cost.

There is no correlation between the Stu­dent Health Insurance and the Health Clinic. Therefore students don't need the student health insurance to utilize the clin­ic's service.

Students seeking treatment for illnesses such as a cold or the flu will pay nothing for an examination. This cost is covered under student fees . Costs are incurred if the stu­dent requires medication or if extra sup­plies such as extensive dressing are used to treat the patient.

When students visit the health clinic, they1l be asked to show a current class schedule. If students come to the clinic

The health clinic's staff consists of one M.D. who will be on campus four days a week, and four nurse practitioners who will treat routine health problems. Appoint­ments are needed to see either the physi­cian or nurse practitioner.

Currently the health clinic's staff can only prescribe medication to be filled off campus. But Marilyn Helburg, MSC' s Assis­tant Director of Medical Health, said that later this fall, the health clinic will open a drug outlet facility, allowing students to buy their prescriptions on campus at a reduced cost.

Aside from medical treatment, the clinic also provides health education and coun­seling. Other services provided by the Stu­dent Health Clinic that require a minimal fee include:

- Physical examinations - Annual gynecologic exams and

pap smear - Minor surgery such as wart

removal - Allergy injections - Lab testing - Premarital blood test - Pregnancy test - Birth control supplies

------SPORTS------Athletic Fee Begins Sports get Separate Funding this year

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

A separate student fee of $13 per semes­ter, earmarked specifically for the Metro State College intercollegiate athletic pro­gram, has been implemented this semester for a three-year trial period.

The fee, which will be collected and kept in a separate account from the student activity fees, won final approval by the governing body of Metro State, the Board of Trustees, at their June meeting.

The idea for a separate fee was developed by former student senator, Brendan Kelly, who pushed it through student government and the Student Affairs Board (SAB). The SAB allocates the money collected from the student activity fee portion of the tui­tion and fees schedule.

At the end of the trial period, a review of the program will be set in motion and could include a referendum question asking stu­dents to either increase, maintain, decrease or dissolve the fee.

The budget for the athletic progam will now be set for each of the next three years and will be contingent upon the head count of students each semester.

Metro. State Athletic Director Bill Helman -said the fee will be helpful in that he will be able to plan a budget for each of the next three years.

'Tm satisfied with the idea of having something to plan on. It's based on head count and will be that way every semester," he said. "I accept that as such."

Helman said he made a budget request of $397,000, and that the $13 fee would meet that figure based on last semester's head count. And he was told to base the athletic program's budget upon that figure.

Dr. David Conde, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and chairman of the . SAB, said the fee will free the SAB to con­centrate on other matters.

"One reason the SAB wanted this was so it (funding of intercollegiate athletics) wouldn't interfere with the more normal functions of the board," Conde said, "The athletic controversy was beginning to inter­fere with the issues the board has to deal with - the health center, club affairs committee, the allocation process of funds.

"These other programs represent a large portion of the budget. The intercollegiate athletic situation at times overshadowed everything else."

Conde added that he believed the new fee structure will benefit all involved.

"In the short run, it should be better for every one," Conde said. "Better health ser­vices and a legal services program. We've not been able to address it adequately. We look forward to having more time to deal with these other issues."

The student activity fee, raised fifty cents from last year, will not likely be increased again during the three year period, Conde said.

And the trial period should be adequate time for the athletic program to justify its existence.

"It'll give athletics time to prove its worth to the student body," Conde said.

Helman said he believes the separate fee will allow his department a chance to focus on creating a solid NCAA Division II program.

The athletic program could face some cuts if the fee is not raised by a higher student head count in the three year trial period, he said.

Meanwhile, the athletic department added a full time employee who will work on fund-raising on the community and cor­porate level to help supplement the budget, Helman said. D

Student Government Retreat A Success Seminar helps communication

Joan Davies Reporter

Martin J . Norton considers his first step in producing an effective student govern­ment a success. That success was the Asso­ciated Students of Metropolitan State Col­lege retreat at Mt. Crested Butte Aug. 14-16. But ASMSC members weren't the only ones to take the first step. Anyone who had anything to do with ASMSC was invited, as well as, student activities coor­dinators, the editor of The Metropolitan ; even spouses attended the retreat.

"The whole purpose of the retreat was to make the student government a cohesive unit, so that we're not all fighting with each other. It was a time of team building," Nor­ton said. The new ASMSC president believes organizations can now communi­cate with each other better than in the past. "We're familiar with each other on a more personal level."

Although Norton considers the retreat successful, he said he didn't accomplish everything he wanted to. "I think I over­planned. There just wasn't enough time to do ever}rthing,'' he said. Norton would have liked to have gone over the by-laws and constitution with the Judicial Board. They did get started, he said, but didn't finish that business.

But participants did benefit from the exercises in communication skills-some liked the exercises so well, Norton said, they continued them after the session was over. Dr. Charles Angeletti led a motiva­tion seminar and used a different approach to get participants motivated.

"He was very negative through-out the seminar-he made people depressed. He wanted us to get mad and do something. He showed us what the institution could do and the stand we have, what we have the power to do." Norton believes the seminar was effective, because "we didn't want to get a booster. You can get a booster any­where. You feel high for a while, but after­wards, there's a let down." Norton feels the student government is more ready to participate in student's activities this semester than previous stu­dent governments. And he believes the retreat helped.

"We are a more viable source for stu­dents on the first day of class. The retreat kept us going. Normally we wouldn't really know each other until October or mid­October. But we're already having an ice­cream social Sept. 2 and 3, just to let people know who the student government is," he said.

While Norton believes the retreat was successful, he doesn't think he'll have another one. 'The budget doesn't call for it. 111 probably have seminars on campus, so we'll continue to grow." He said the retreat cost $2,716.80, which covered food, lodg­ing and transportation for 44 people.

"We went through a lot to find a place. We looked at 20 different places before we picked. We went for the lowest bidder," he said. Norton compared the cost of this retreat to the last one ASMSC had: it cost $1,800, only covered 13 people and was held here in town.

Norton chose to hold his retreat out-of­town. "I wanted it secluded. This was not a vacation. People came back excited." Would he recommend a retreat as a way to prepare students for their new responsibili­ties? You bet. "It was a good experience . . . really worth it.'' a

MSC Professor Dies Campus Memorial Set For Fall

Joan Davies Reporter

Students are invited to attend a memor­ial service for deceased art professor Harold 0. Brown, to be held at the end of Sep­tember or beginning of October. The instructor, who died June 28, was one of the most well-liked faculty members on campus, and his classes were very popular. While chairman of the art department, Mr. Brown helped establish the Emmanuel Gallery on campus.

Mr. Brown was born in 1923 in Lostant, Ill., and held degrees from the University of Illinois, Michigan State University and

Cranbrook Academy of Art. He was a member of the Industrial Design Society of America, American Institute of Interior Design and American Association of Col­lege Professors.

Germany's Ministry of Culture had invited Mr. Brown to observe design schools in West Germany. He also enjoyed making his own jewelry and exhibited bis work nationally.

The Metropolitan plans to run a special feature on Mr. Brown the week of the ser­vice. More information about the service will be available at that time. a
