Academic Affairs must okay new program

Senate approves General Studies

Shirley Roberts Reporter

Four years and 14 drafts after its original inception. the proposed new general studies program was approved by the faculty sentate Nov. 11. at its regular meeting.

The purpose of the new program. which will begin fall 1989, if approved by the Office of Academic Affairs, is to assure that all students master basic skills and are exposed to a common core of knowledge, said Lyn Wickelgren, chairwoman of the General Studies Committee.

"The program creates a logical pro· gression from where a student starts to where a student ends," she said.

The new program is designed to help students obtain the required skills early in their academic career in order to utilize the skills in upper division courses. Students may be prohibited from taking upper division courses' if the new requirements are not met in the stipulated time frame, Wickelgren said. \

However. the new program does allow for individual deviation and exception from the rules and require· ments in order for students to obtain their degree without being unneces­sarily delayed, she said.

The program is divided into three levels, with each level building and reinforcing the skills learned in the previous level, Wickelgren said. (See box.)

The purpose of Level I ls to emphas· ize problem solving, interpreting and drawing conclusions and learning to analyze material presented,

Wlckelgren said. Level II courses should teach stu·

dents to apply logic in evaluating argu­ments and finding fallacies in logic. Students learn to question evidence before accepting a given conclusion.

The objective of Level III Is to have students learn through critical analy­sis and logical thinking; work closely with a faculty member over a period of time; and demonstrate independent thinking, critical analysis and the syn· thesis or ideas.

Wickelgren pointed out some or the differences between the proposed pro­gram ~nd the current general studies program.

For example, the new program requires that students take a math class, without the option of subs ti tut· ing a science class as the.current pro­gram allows.

Also.studentsmustparticipatelnacom­munications course - whether the course Is speech, foreign language, reading, listening or writing. Cur­rently, a student can graduate with· out taking one of those classes.

In Levell. English 101and102 criteria will be similar to the current format.

Wickelgren said poorresultson place­ment tests for English 101.102and Math IXX may force some students to take remedial courses before taking 100-level courses at MSC. These courses could be taken atCCD, and students could be simultaneously enrolled at CCD and MSC.

Ot course. she said, students must successfully complete theCCD remedlaJ, courses before enrolling in MSd courses, students wlll still be respon­sible tor accompllshing Level J course­work.

She said a student having difficulty with a particular course may elect a pass/ fail designation instead of a let­ter grade. Students may take all gen­eral studies classes i:)assltail because the new program does not require a specific letter grade as a standard or accomplishment.

Transfer students will still have their previous work evaluated, just as they do now. to ascertain if classes taken at other schools are acceptable substi­tutes for MSC courses. o

Message loses meaning through time Dale Crum Photo Editor

Last week a man was on campus holding a very large sign. In the lower right hand corner, two contorted races told theagonyotjudgment. The words. written in very large letters, told of our impending doom. The message of Jesus was being displayed tor all to see. Or was it?

As I photographed this man, I was reminded of an experience in my past.

Ms. Johnson's third grade class is strangely quiet with anticipation. A young boy draws his hands and mouth near to the ear or his classmate to whisper his message. The recipient. witha puzzled look. cautiously stands. faces the class and says. "Bill likes tudge and molasses."

A burst of joyous laughter lightens the room as the young girl's face nashes with embarrassment.

At this point, Ms.Johnson intervenes and restores a minor state or calm.

"Jason," she says, "you chose the secret we used and were the first to pass it on. Please tell us what it was."

Smiling proudly, as it privy to some great secret. he reveals the truth to his classmates.

"Bill has a smudge on his glasses." Ms. Johnson's third grade class has

learned a valuable l esson ; one which

COMMENTARY

we desperately need to remember. Once again a message has been changed ... a very important message. However. this time no one is laughing. It makes matters worse that we are tempted to accept this distorted mes­sage and forget the original one.

According to the teachings or the New Testament. Jes us spent a great deal of time with social undesirables. He was often in the company or prosti­tutes, beggars and lepers. He touched them and his contact left a great im­pression on their lives (Luke 5:29-32).

Love was something that Jesus fre­quently spoke about. God's love tor _ humans, our love tor God and love for _ each other were themes that saturated his teachings.

Jesus was at his sharpest conflict with the religious leaders ot his time. He exposed their hypocrisy and called them blind guides. This confiict ulti­mately led to their plotting against

him-and his subsequent death (John ll:45·54).

The man holding the sign ln the pic­ture opposes the teachings of Jes us on all three points. First. this sign gua· rantees that he will have little. if any, "real" contact with people. The correct message of the sign is. "I don't like sinners. Stay away." He gets what he desires; people do stay away.

Second. the sign has three verses from the Bible, all about condemna­tion. Whatever happened to John 3 :16? "For God so loved ... " It ls a verse that many Christians believe only applies to them. Unfortunately tor them, the next two words of the verse are " ... the world."

Third, according to the teachings of Jesus, this bearer or bad news should carry his sign to the headquarters of Jerry Falwell, Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart.Perhapsagoodplacetostart is on the campus or Oral Roberts Uni· versity (Matthew 23: 13-15).

It you are given to respect or fear, don't do either to this clown. His mes· sage is neither accurate nor effective. Respect. however, that person who stops shouting and puts away the sign. It ls then. and only then. that lis tening, caring and real contact can be achieved. It's scary business for most Christians, but that's the way Jesus lived. o

Art display a trek into fantasy John Carlson Reporter

"Calm Day in Boulder" takes an am· bivalent meaning when you eyeball a square piece of glazed cement. Brent Warren's tranquil "boulder" ls one of several reasons to check out "Fantasy Art Display," at the Denver Center Cinema through Dec. 3L

Warren. who lives in Boulder, is a versatile artist of offbeat humor and outrageous allegories. His sculptures of welded metal and cement. acrylics, airbrushed paintings and photo­graphs are quite a treat.

One acrylic painting, "French Kiss," deplctsamanandawomanlnvolvedin a romantic locomotion. The couple's largetonguesprotrudewithpowertul· looking trains on top. This type of kiss ls when couples practically eat each other and "chew-chew."

The "Harmonlsaurus" must be a bird from the future. This odd-looking metallic piece consists of a large torso with tiny side wings, long neck and legs, a giant tail feather and a small, oval head with long eyelashes and a harmonfoa for its beak. How interest· Ing ... a bird that not only chirps but plays the harmonica as well.

Warren's works also include photo· graphs of domestic family life, people, nature and animals. An untitled series of photos show a man watching televi· sion in his recliner.Suddenly ,a woman pops out of the TV screen, grabs the surprised man and pulls him in. A dog mysteriously appears in the man's chair and watches TV as if nothing happened. This humorous piece could be called "It's a Dog's Life."

"He's a talented fella," said Sam Kent, acting director of the cinema. Kent added that Warren is also a magician as well as an artist.

"He doesn't use the same old tricks as other magicians do," Kent said. "He's unique and very inventive."

Warren's "magic" carries over in his one-of-a-kind artwork. The "Fantasy Art Display" is the sort of crowd· pleaser that seems easy because the subject matter ls loaded. In fact. this mini-survey about another side of life in contemporary art ls just good enough to make you wish it were bet· ter, that someone would seriously probe the theme and illuminate its psychological and symbolic territory.

-----NEWS----Metro program asks dropouts to drop in C. Patrick Cleary Reporter

Metropolitan State College started offering a big hand to Denver's poten­tial high school dropouts last August in an effort to guide students to col­lege degrees and careers.

Through a 11130,000 grant from the Governor's office, the MSC Heal th Career Sciences department created the Student Retention Project. The program offers employment ­mentoring, career exploration and home visitation to junior and senior

~ high school students in the ci_ty. Coordinated by Student Academic

Programs Director Tony Montoya.. the projecthasalreadyrecrulted50poten­tial dropouts from Manual and Lincoln high schools to take a chance at furth­ering their careers.

"Th e students are quite interested that someone wants to help them with their job search efforts," program job d eveloper Steve Martinez said.

Martinez and fellow coordinator Val Hunt are c urrently looking for Aura­ria professors whomlght be interested in the mentor aspect of the program.

"We want the professors to serve as role models, offering teacher-student r e lations hips, m eeting with the stu-

dents once a week," Martinez said. Hunt said that according to statis­

tics released by the Denver Public Schools, the Colorado Alliance of Bus­iness and Upward Bound, De nver's dropout rate ls 50 percent. She said figu r es Indicate the dropout rate among blacks ls 40 percent and among Hispanics 50 percent.

MSC applied for the state program grant last year. The school itself did not allocate money for the program but does provide in-kind services. such as office space and tele phone use. And, worklngwl th such civic groups as the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Mar­tinez said he hopes to set up a solid network of job opportunities for the students.

The state funding is provided · through the Job Partnership Act, set up by Gov. Roy Romer in an effort to curb Colorado's alarm1ngdropou t rate.

Montoya said he is also soliciting private funding so the program. one of many in the area. can reach out to more students in the future.

Martinez said a unique aspect or the new program is home visitation.

Huntsald many times parents feel in· timidated by the bureaucracy of the school system that sometimes dis ­criminates against Hispanic students.

Former director says SDI an offensive system Cindy Marquette Reporter

A former director of the "Star Wars" program d eclared on Veterans Day­contrary to the Reagan administration claims - that Strategic Defense Initia­tive (SDI) is an offensive weapon system.

Dr. Robert Bowman, who directed the Anti-Ballistic Missile - which has

. since become known as "Star Wars" -and whospent22yearsin the military, told audiences at the Univers ity of Colorado at Denver and Denver Uni­versity that SDI is an offensive system.

Bowman, a veteran of 101 air combat missions in Vietnam. said "Star Wars" ls a space-based weapon system com­prising satellites that monitor the launching of an enemy missile. It the

enemy launches a missile, SDI will detect it and s ignal the United States while simultaneously positlonlngsatel· lites that will dlre ct an intense laser beam to destroy the incoming missile.

The requirement for the lasers not only to hit the target, but also to main­tain a direct hit on the spot (missile) until it burns through is very compli­cated, he said.

"The angular accuracy required is like hitting a nickel thrown in the air 15 miles away - and, of course, the nickel ls moving perhaps 15,000 miles per hour," Bowman said.

As a defe nsive system, SDI demands that all components be working-per­fec tly - in order for it to be e ffective. Because of this, the offens e have the advantage . It has to destroy only one component of the defense to rende r the system inoperable, h e said.

Essential components to the syste m are mirrors, which aid in directing the laser beam towards the target. This s ingle component can be ruined as easily as dumping a thimbleful of sew­ing m achine oil on it, he said.

Therefore, Bowman said. this system mightworkifusedoffensively. Healso said the system is only 10 percent effective, which would allow 90 per­cent of enem y missiles to get through and re-enter the earth's a tmosphere.

"Such a system might work if you have the element of surprise on your side and provided you destroyed 90 percent of enemy missiles in their silos before they're Launched," he s aid. "In other words, first strike."

In March of 1983 Pres ide nt Reagan introduced "Star Wars" as a way to makenuc~weapons"lmpotent••anct

"obsole te."

Nuclear weapons are already impo­tent and obsolete because they can't be used militarily - it would be suici­dal to do so, Bowman said. And they can't be used politically.

''We can't threaten the Russians with nuclear attack If they don't get out of Afghanistan," he said. "Similarly, they can't threaten us to get out of E l Salva­dor, Grenada. wherever."

The certainty of r e taliation makes these empty threats.

The gre at irony is that the real pur­pose of SDI is to make nuc lear w e a­pons useful again. Bowman said.

H e said the deploymentof"StarWars" guarantees nuc lear war, and a s a r e ­tire d lie ute nant colone l of the Air Force. he h as a n obligation to pre v e nt It.

"My life-long mill tary c halle nge I s to s top 'Star Wars,'" he s aid. o

Power of politics pulls student to Capitol Hill Jana Cohlmla Reporter

Passion for polltics. You either love it or you hate it.

MSC student Brad Livingston loves it, so much that his passion took him 1,700 miles away this summer to what he calls "the place where the power is" - Washington, D.C.

Livingston, 25, a political science major, spent the summer as an intern for U. S. Senator William Armstrong, R-Colo., after winning one of five internships from a field of more than 60 applicants.

Somewhat reluctant to talk about himself, Livingston shifted in his seat, chose his words carefully and said he had been nervous before going to Washington.

Then he added, "Strangely enough, though, I felt Uke I belonged there after I got my feet wet."

Livingston said he found Washing­ton exciting and intensely competitive, which hooked him into politics all the more.

"The competition makes me love it," he said. "I thrive on it - and I'm com­peting in an areal feel comfortable in."

His studies as an MSC political science major and his involvement in politics give him an edge to excel both academically and politically.

Livingston is amember of the Golden Key National Honor Society and a recipient of a 1987-88 Colorado Scho­lars scholarship.

He also serves as chairman of the MSC Republican Club and was a dele­gate to the Republican State Conven· tion in 1986.

Duringhisinternship,heworkedon Armstrong's staff, where he said he gained valuable political experience and insight into the legislative branch of government.

He attended several Senate commit­tee meetings and Armstrong's weekly staff meetings. It is in these two arenas that the "nuts and bolts of legislating" and the "arrival of certain pollcy deci· sions occur," he said.

In addition to observing govern· mental processes, Livingston was res· ponsible for research on an existing bill Armstrong was sponsoring. Called the "Government Debt Collection," the bill would ensure payment of overdue loans the government had given.

Livingston said that when a senator goes to the Senate floor to debate a bill, he is armed with a thick notebook full of answers to questions his colleagues may ask concerning that bill.

As part of his project, Livingston pre·

pared much or"the debate material on the "Government Debt Collection" bill.

"It makes you feel good to write material that is possibly going to be used on the floor of the Senate." he said.

Livingston said the internship was part of the groundwork he is building tor his future.

He has a certain focused look ln his deep-set blue-gray eyes, as if he knows his future will take him to the places his mind travels.

He said he plans to attend graduate school, after which he would like to work on Capitol Hill, preferably on Armstrong's staff. And from there he has ambitions for elected office in Colorado.

"Anyone involved in politics deep down inside desires to hold an elected position," he said. "I would like to come back to Colorado, possibly in the state Legislature."

Although careful to say politics must

5 •

be taken one step at a time, he openly admitted toan ultimate dream of being in the White House.

"Ultimately, I would thrive on being president," he said. "I'm dedicated enough to my principles, to my goals and to my party to possibly enter into that arena."

For now, he encourages students to become involved and to educate them­selves about politics.

"I would like to see more people become aware of the different levels of government that affect them," he said. "It's incredibly easy to become in· valved in grass roots politics, and that's how people can make a difference."

Livingston's Involvement in politics, an area he cares very deeply about. is his way of making a difference and staying true to himself and his values.

"I would feel I wasn't fulfilling my potential it I did not pursue politics," he said. D

Study results show faithful stay healthy Joan Davies Copy Editor

Religion is a controversial - and of· ten taboo - subject for many people.

But for Bernard Spilka, a professor of psychology at the University of Denver, it"s an interesting one. Espe­cially when he combines it with the human mind.

Spilka, who has written several books, including acollaboration of The Psychology of Religto'TI: AnEmptrtcal Approach. has been conducting a study for the past year-and-a-half on thecombinationofreligtonandhealth.

He and research assistant Daniel Mcintosh have hypothesize d and proved that religious faith may pre­vent people from getting sick.

"We deve loped measures of health habits, because people religious in certain ways may actually do certain things differently than those who are not religious.

Bernard Spllka DU professor of psychology

"In addition, we developed a 57-item measure of sickness potentiaL You would find things like headaches, migraines, gum disease, cramps, fever, fainting and so forth," Spilka said.

His research showed that intrinsi­cally religious people - those who attempt to locate themselves in the scheme of things and are open-minde d and committed- report less sickness. Extrinsically religious people-those who use religion as a convenience or something to turn to in time of trouble - report more sickness.

"There is a long relationship between religion and health. You could proba­bly say the association between the two lsasoldashumanity ltself,"Spllka said .

Many factors can influence health, biologically and psychologically.

"There are lots of solid research stu­dies that point out that if somebody loses a spouse, their Immune system Is depressed. You're more sensitive to illness and s uch," he said.

People under s tress lose a sense ot control, which can affect the immune system. The higher the sense of con­trol. the more the immune system stays up, he said.

Religion provides individuals with meaning, and therefore, a sense of control, Spilka said.

He told the story of a Jewish man who entered Auschwitz during World War II. The numbers 145053 were tat· tooed on his arm and the man knew he would live.

"Add the digits up - they add up to 18. That's the Jewish symbol for Ieohaiem - to life. He felt it was a sign from God that he would live," Spilka explained.

"Basically what we're saying is, for good immune system function - tor religious individuals - is when they conceive of an act of God, God working on their behalf, and they are active and have a sense of mastery and con­trol," he said.

One major study involve.d young paraplegics , Spilka said. Although many of them were not religious, rell­gious explanations for what had hap­pened to them were the most common.

"They would say, 'God did this to me to make me suffer and help me change my ways. God was teaching me a les­son.' This provided a meaning and a purpose. When you have that.you have better control over yourself," he said.

What does Spilka hope to gain at the completion of hk> study'l .

"All we can do is understarid iii this point what is happening. We are in no position to say to people to change your stance on religion. We can point out, but we'll just have to see what the important relationships are," he said.

Amore controversial area or Spilka's study involves the effect of religion on breast cancer patients.

"One aspect of it is that maybe a male clergyperson is not the right person to talk to a r e ligious woman who has breast cancer. What we want to do ls provide information about the factors that affect the ablli ty of the woman to cope with the problem and also pro­vide information on what is called clinical pastoral education programs.

"Hypothetically, we're saying we think there ought to be more women actively ordained and working," he said. o

---OP-ED \

Take a time-out for day of thanks When I was growing up in Ohio, Thanksgiving was

a big deal. Y'know, the whole family (about 20) would gather

together from all over the state at my grand­Pflrents' house for a big turkey dinner with all the fixin's.

We'd usually have two huge turkeys, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, stuffing , cranberry sauce, corn, peas, three pumpkin pies and two pecan pies and whatever else the cooks could think of.

I would usually wake up early Thursday morning 2nd run to the TV to watch all the parades. Later, my mother, father, sister and I would get in the car and drive the 40 miles north to Columbus. The rest of the folks would get there about the same time and we'd all share hugs and kisses with aunts and cousins we hadn't seen in a long while.When we weren't busy wiping ruby-red lipstick from our cheeks or getting more hugs, we'd be busy sniffing all the wonderful smells around the kitchen and sneaking handfuls of Ritz crackers and glasses of ginger ale.

If the weather was tolerable (a rarity i11 Ohio in November), us "men" would go outside and play football or Frisbee. If the weather wasn't so great, we'd sit around the house and watch football or catch up on current family events (gossip).

The women would usually be in and out of the kitchen trading stories about Regal rump roast prices at the supermarket or the best way to fix corn or spreading their own versions of current family events.

About two or three in the afternoon, the whole lot of us would sit down for the meal.

Us kids would have our own little table off to the side.of the folks'. My cousin and I always felt mature enough to sit at the big table, but Thanksgiving wasn't a democracy.We had to sit with the babies and hope to avoid the volleys of strained peaches or sweet potatoes that often came our way. One of us would invariably spill something and we'd have to hear about how we weren't really old enough to be trusted yet... .. So much for sitting at the big table.

Eventually, everyone would Qet settled, all the food brought out, and we'd all bow our heads for grace. The "Thanks" part.

Sometimes. with my eyes half closed and my hands folded, I would think about how much food I was going to eat or how cold everything would be by the time we started. (All the smells of potatoes and stuffing and warm turkey and everything else made such a sensual aroma, it was hard not to think about the food.) Other times, I would think about the upcoming Dallas-Washington football game. Every

now and again, I would listen to what was being said. I've never been a go-to-church-religious-type of

person. Saying grace at Thanksgiving and Christmas is about as close as I get.

But on those occasions when I'd be thinking about the Pilgrims instead of the Redskins, I felt different.

To th ink we set aside one whole day to thank the Lord for keeping us healthy, warm and alive is strange.

Shouldn't we be thankful for things like that all the time ?We have to take the whole day to sit down, watch football and say, "Gee, it's really swell that we're alive"?

Think about the people of the world who are in real dire straits, the people who would give anything to hav~ a little food, much less a Butterball.

So don't worry if your sister takes too much pie. Just be thankful you've got some pie to give.

This year take some time out from watching the Detroit Lions get mauled or from pigging out on cranberries and dressing to reflect on the real meaning of Thanksgiving: a celebration of co­operation and love between all mankind (be they Pilgrims or Indians) that should sustain us for every day of our lives.

Telephone registration not a turkey There;s a minority of people at Metropolitan State

College who spend a majority of their time complain­ing about all the ways in which the college manages to screw things up. ··

Well , it's about time we stop and take a moment to Jay some praise .on one of the many "right" things about MSC: telephone registration.

Only two years old, telephone registration is already seriously taken for granted. At the end of

. every semester, we choose a few classes, pick up the • phone <![Id then punch in the call numbers. Before we know it, we're registered for the next semester and we haven't had to stand in any long registration lines.

Letters

But do we stop and think about how things were just a few short years ago? Do we ever give thanks (even around Thanksgiving) that we don't have to mess with the archaic mail- in or walk-in registration?

No, few of us do! In fact most students at Metro have never had to stand in line for an hour to register, then another hour to pay for tuition and then for· three hours the next day to add a-class that's proba­bly full anyway.

At CSU, that's how it was two years ago when I was a student. (I 'm not sure if their system has changed since then, but that's neither here nor there.)

What I do know is that Metro was only the third institution of higher education in the nation to use

F:orum for cycling limits set Editor:

ihe Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria ~oard (SACAB) is presently considering a proposal

·. that would demarcate a 'Dismount Zone' on the campus. This zone would allow for a portion of the ciampu~ thoroughfare~ to be open only to pedestrian traffic. The area is bordered by Lawrence Street and the South Classroom on the Auraria Mall and by _Speer BOulevard and Ninth Avenue on the Arapahoe Walkway. Bicyclists, roller skaters •. and skateboard

. ·--:riders would, according to the proposal, be required \ to walk with their '-.yheels' in hand. (

with the.problem, I feel that a safety hazard exists

Dear Editor: Unlike some narrow-minded people, who live in

their t:No dimensional worlds. I laughed so hard at Mr. Washington's Oct. 16 column - I cried! I can 'take a joke - as Jong as it's well delivered, as it was. I thought it was a clever. insightful, and professionally written column. I also enjoyed Mr. Washington's Halloween story last week.

and it must be eliminated. Thus, I made the proposal out of concern for pedestrian traffic which, I believe, represents a vast majority of the the student popula­tion.

However, this is not a decision that can be made · without the expression of all viewpoints of the issue. Hence, on Friday morninQ. December 4, at 8 a.m., the SACAB will hold a public fofum concerning th~ proposa·1 in the Student Center. All interested parties are invited to attend and voice their opinion . .'J urge any student with experience in the matter or ideas tor a solution to-do so·. ·

telephone registration. And that the number of com­plaints (yes, there are still those who find something to whine about) has practically disappeared.

I also know that this semester I didn't pay the required fifty dollar deposit on time. Fifteen minutes after payment, I was able to pick up the phone and within two minutes I was once more an official Roadrunner.

So on Nov. 26 givethanks not only for the Pilgrims, Miles Standish and your mother's turkey dressing but also for the technology thaf has made the long registration line obsolete.

ADRIANO Anian for all seasons

A d ria n o's T urf Ninth Street Park. late summer

• •

Debra Schluter Reporter

...

J u stlast week many of the leaves still clung to the trees, p u r ple, red, gold, some still green. Clin ging, just barely, so that the slightest breeze sent hand­fuls sailing on a downward spiral to the ground.

Now, the leaves lie on top of the snow like tree skirts gathered around the trunks, scattered bits of color reflect­ing what once was.

On Aurarla's Ninth Street Park one can watch the seasons pass: here, it,,. .seems, each lingers a little longer.'

And for the past six years, the park's guardian and caretaker, Adriano Velasco, 65, has done h is part to ease the transl tions.

Ona recent mornin g , Adriano stands, rake in hand, gazing out across a wide expanse of grass at the nearly barren trees a long the s idewalks. \

"They're almost all down now," he says, looking at the leaves.

Thin early morning sunlight stripes across the frosted grass, venturing Into the shadowed, sheltered cold between the houses that line the park.

Up against gray cement foundations tans of months-ago irises, green yet· clipped, wave goodbye to summer.

Adriano, smiling, seems to under­stand.

"Do you know how Jong those have been there?" he asks, pointing at the stalks. "A long, long time."

Out back, under the dark, dense leaves of the lilac bushes, hearty pur­ple mums salute fall and march bravely up to the c older weather, but kissing it, are frost-bitten in return.

Adriano looks at the blackened flowers and decides - their purpose served-that they need to be removed.

Deep green leaves and red berries on cranberry cottoneaster hint of winter:"' whispering thoughts of bedecked halls and coming Christmas splendor.

But even Adriano knows that under­neath this season's colorful cloak, now buried bene ath the snow, lies the foliage that will again in spring sprout daisy, geranium and rose.

And who is this man who keeps such gardens?

A Philippine-born farmer and natu­ralized U.S. citizen, Adriano is a gen­tle, soft-spoken man who works h ard and loves to laugh. His days are spent from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. nurturing this campus oasis, Auraria's crown jewel.

) Adriano Velasco, groundskeeper of the Ntnth Street Park stnce 1981, takes a breather while clearing snow.

He keeps the grounds around the old br:lck and rrame houses in order,

"'tendingthemanicuredlawnsandgar­dens - working hard at h:ls job, one quickly discovers, not so much be­cause he loves flowers, but because he Ukes to witness the deltght they in· spire in others.

There :Is joy in his work, and others see it: their smiles are his reward. • "I have friends all around here," he says. "When they see me they talk to me -sometimes in Spanish - and maybe tell me a Joke."

CbarlesMaldonado,d:lrectorofMSC's High School Upward Bound Program, said he was on the way to his office at 1024 Ninth Street one morning when ...

. ,

he stopped to remark on the beauty of the flowers Adriano was planting.

"He showed up a little later In my orrtce with one that he had left over and gave it tome-I had it Inhere until itdfed."

Maldonado calls Adriano "El capitan del barrio." In Spanish, It means 'cap· tain or head of the village or neigh· borbood; " he explained.

"He told me that back fn his little vil­lage in the Philippines the phrase is also used ror the neighborhood Romeo - and we laughed a long time about that."

Adriano•s rule. tr not understated, seems benevolent enough.

In the spring he plants his marigolds,

'There are those who gtve as tn yonder valley the myrtle breathes tts fragrance tnto space.

Through the hands of such as these God speaks. and from be­htnd thetr eyes He smtleB upon the earth."

and therabbfts,r:lghtbehindhim,chew them up.

"What can you do?" he laughs. Should they be eradicated? "Eradicated?" he asks. feeling the

weight or the unfamiliar word, tasting its harshness with his heavily ac· cented English.

"No. They are living things like you and I."

All summer long he clips the trees and leaves and branches, all the grass that grows out or place across the walks-butheletstherosesandmums and daisies bloom everywhere in the way - as if he wouldn't think of prun· :Ing them back.

He keeps the park neat. but not rasti· diously so. It isn't Disneyland-perfect. but natural looking, like a real yard, where one can always find something fn need of being done.

It Adriano hfmselffs at times hard to rind, signs or the man at work are all around. A p:lle of leaves, a Hefty sack, a rake, all say Adriano Is not rar away.

When the slender, gray-haired man makes his way back along the red flagstone walk, his qu:lck smile Is ready and he waves, a s low back and forth motion with his hand. He walks ever­so·slfghtly hunched rorward, taking small, carerul steps - a posture left over, perhaps, from last year's surgery for an aortic aneurysm that nearly took h:ls life .

As he walks. a small branch brushes against h:ls shoulder.

"Ah, now, see this one?" he says, pul· lfngapa:lror thick, beak-nosed garden shears from his hip pocket. trlmm:lng the offending, adventurous branch back - way back - with almost auto· matic ease. It should not be a nuisance again for several years.

He settles into his work, pulling his soft brown work gloves on, kneeling fn the cool grass, one leg pulled up -he fs getting too old for winter. he says.

A bright red baseball-style hat has replaced his Ugh t summertime fedora.

Last summer ,after the Fourth of July, he found a red, white and blue ribbon ln the grass and, 'wrapping It around the hat to make lt smaller. tied it ln a bow to one sf de.

When asked about the colors. ft was apparent the significance had gone unnoticed.

"The United States rtag?" he had asked. pulling off the hat and exwnln· ing it. He laughed.a long, hearty laugh, then grew s:llent and wistful.

Just last year he and his wife became

-Kahlll Glbran

U.S. citizens, he said. The event seemed to have culminated over 40 years of dreaming for the little Filipino man and his family.

Back in the Philippines, when he was in school, in eighth or n:lnth grade, he said, the students used to sing a song, and when they sang he dreamed or coming here. to Colorado.

Down on the grass. his garden shears ln hand. he sang the song again:

"When it's springtime, fn the Rockies

His thin but easy-flowing voice skimmed over the lyrics:

"-·springtime in the mountains ... I'm coming back to you."

But Adriano was not to come to Colo· rado for many years.

In 1941, he was 19: He had been fn Manna. by himself, a young man Just out or school. fn from the countryside. looking ror work when the Japanese bombed what was then Camp Gagula· neldo on the outskirts of the city, he said.

"Fire fell like rain and I was trem­bling. I thought this was the end of my life," Adriano said.

He stayed fn the Phlllpplnes. farm· log and raising a family. until 1980 when a daughter. then a newly natu· ralized U.S.cltizen, petitioned to bring her parents over .

He began working when he got here as a custodian at Buckingham Square shopping mall. About a year later he was hired by AHEC and ln 1985 was named State Employee of the Year for his work on the Ninth Street Park.

Another year and Adriano hopes to retire. This past Oct. 15, once his pro· jected retirement date, has come and gone.

With two dependent children at home, one still in school, and a newly purchased home out In Aurora. Adrl· ano still has plenty of reasons to keep on working.

Someday he hopes to spend more time fishing.

Andalthoughhestlllhasdreamsyet to pursue, he stops and thinks about the one he Is living.

"I am so happy," Adriano says. He closes his eyes and a smile draws

wide across his face. "I think when I die ... this fs my

dream," he says. How many men can say something

like that? o

WEEKLY .,11WJHLiW~' A friend draws inside straight in game of life

Dear Ron. Life is a poker game. Got any cards? I'd love to play be·

cause chance and choice come in all colors. The ace of spades, queen of hearts - yes, even the four of dia· monds. Not to mention the club, the big club, the one that knocks a little sense into yo\!. How about a little blackjack?

No one ls immune to the game. No, not even me.

Anyways, I Just wanted to say con· gratulatlons, Ron, on the next card you are playing. You know, the big marriage one.Yeah, it's been a longtime coming. The irony is, your big day comes two weeks after my big day -graduation.

Never thought about that when we fir.st met 26 years ago, did we? Such a simple twist of fate. Simple tw!stoffate.

I remember all those cards we played throughout the y e ars , some good and some bad. Weweresoclosefor so long, ever since first grade. So long ago.

But the memories. We were insepar­able in grade school, weren't we? Re­member when Reggie hit me with an orange from across the playground? How about when I got you to try out for the baseball team and you broke your ankle trying to slide.

How about your first girltrlend? Re­member when I locked you in the trunk of your car and then drove up to her house to talk to her. It was a pretty seriou~ d .eal then - seems so tunny now does n't it, huh?

We kind of drifted apart toward the end of high school, though. You with your sports and Ole. well. whitt was I doing? Oh yeah,Justabouteverything I could, I guess. But at least we gradu­ated together.Our parents were pretty proud of us. Probably expected to hear the sainepomp and circumstance from coilege four years later too. Boy, were _ they disillusioned. I guess we decided at that time Ute was like a game of "Acey-Ducey," high school and college ateachend.

I still wonder about that choice. me struggling 13 years later to reach that final

I exam. But you, it seems you always had that ace-in-the-hole. Th.e steady Job, a little money in the bank to travel, bought a beautiful house, and now, you have a beautiful bride. Wowt

What have we learned s6 far? How do we judge the value of our

knowledge? Are you still sorry you never finished college? You've ac5-cumulatecl so many material items. Al­ways seemed so settled, happy, pleased

to be so successful. So settled, so set­tled. Me, well I've moved tour times in 1987 already.

How about the:t time we played in the intramural bas· ketballleague game at Thomas Jetter· son Recreation Center and never got the ball pasthalf court? Seems ltkt; that is how much we see each other anymore. That was seven years ago, you were gettingso organized with life. I was acting like an unattached buoy IA the high seas of life. Here we are,

though, me gradu· ating and you get·

ting married. Did you think the reverse could ever be true?

Time will start rushing pretty fast for us the next couple of months. Mere minutes when compared to those last 26 years... mere minutes. I suppose I could assume a melancholy attitude because, come May, everything will change, be different, you getting mar­ried and me graduating.

BUT, HEY! May tie it's Just another game of black­

jack, another card played, ~nother grain of sand through the hourglass of time. For sure!

Deal_ the carets because an the chips will hit the table, all the sand nows with time, faster and faster till there is nothing left. The hand has been played, the1top side of the glass empty, those two fateful days in May, nothing left, of. the past, nothing left but the empty shell of what once was.

Oh w~ll. how about lfwe Just turn the hourglassover.sitatanewpokerte.ble together and \.\se the memor~es as a· guide to further advem'l.ire.

Job changes stressful on relationship ,,.

•)

Elvlra Ramos Reporter

Changing careers can be hazardous to your health and your relationships.

The effects of career changes was the topic at the final session Nov.11 of Metro on the Mall's series on career change.

Jean and Jerry Downing, the first speakers In the lunchtime series. ended It with suggestions on how to evaluate the amount of stress in your life and how to cope with the effects of change.

Jean Downing, a nurse practitioner, said one of the first steps in evaluating whether or not you want to make a career change should be to assess the amount of stress already in your life.

She recommended a commonly-used test. the social re-adjustment scale score sheet. as a guide to some conclu· sions. The scale, used by medical pro· fessionals. helps evaluate the amount of stress a person has experienced in the past 12 months by rating over 40 life events that produce stress. It includesnotonlynegativeeventssuch as a death in the family but also posi­tive ones like vacations and promotions.

"Too .many changes in too short a time period can play havoc with your health," Jean Downing said.

After talcing a close look at your life, you may discover that you don't want to take the health risks that additional changes might lead to. It may be that you don't need to change at all. she said. Maybe you need to change your attitude about what you are doing now.

Having the right attitude can make the difference not only in the kinds of decisions you make about your life but also in the way that you are able to cope with the changes those decisions may lead to.

~11 ..,~dtcal pi:otes~ionals use the hard­' inees component to determine -., whether or not someone can survive a

serious illness, she said. It is made up of qualities that can help you to judge how you cope with stress as well.

For example, it is important that you feel you have infiufilnce and control

...

events. Are you up to the challenge that

changing careers can be? Believing change is normal and an incentive to growth is a measure of how flexible and open you are, she said.

You must be committed to making the change and seeing it through. When you are committed, your attitude tells you that what you are doing is rjgb t even it everyone else thinks you are crazy, she said.

"You know what you are doing is right and in your own best interest." she said .

Develop a vision, Jean said. Think about what you've always wanted to do. Determine the changes you would like to make thatare within your values and beliefs.

"What a bad feeling to have the alarm clock go off and think, 'Ugh, the best part of the day is over,'" she said.

Jerry Downing said everyone in your life may not support the decision to make a career change. Making such a decision can have a considerable effect on close relationships.

Downing, a licensed psychologist. said that for many people, maintain­ing the status quo is preferable to change.

"Dull predictability is usually pref· erable to fighting the unknown,'' he said.

Downing said he saw many instan­ces while working at MSC's counsel­ing center where the partners of those .people making career changes were upset and afraid the change might cause them to lose their mate.

The change is often perceived as a threat to the relationship, be said.

The additional training, education and stress involved in making a career

c hange takes time away from rela­tionships.

But If you're ready for it. change can be use d as an opportunity to enhance a relationship. Jerry said.

Be aware that problems can happen. he said. Be ready to pick up signals that your partner ls feeling resentful or threatened.

Include those closest to you in your decision-making process. Get the m to help you brainstorm about jobs and how to get them. Make sure they have a

: :t -i ..

" '

clear picture of their role In the change as it is talcing place.

And, above all, Jerry said, communi­cate. Be willing to be open and vulner­able about your fears and hopes In making a decision.

"Enhanced communication can enhance your relationship whether or not you make a change," he said.

After all, you may grow closer together in the process or you might grow apart. On the other hand, you could choose to stagnate to protect the

'

relationship and still grow apart, Jerry said.

The success you have ln making a career change will ultimately be determined by your emotional stance to it. he said. Being positive and excited about your decision will lead toagood application of energy.

"How you think determines 95 per­centofhoweffective achangewill be," he said. "You will determine whether your world is positive, exciting and challenging or not." o

UCO student to jump at Olympics Kerry Manion Reporter

Not many people at Aurarla can say they have competed in the Olympic Games. But UCD student Kerry Lynch not only can say it - he has actually done It. Twice.

Lynch, a nordlc combined skier, will represent the United States in the Olympics tor his third time when he travels to Calgary In February to pit his talents against the world's best skiers.

Nordic combined skiing Is a rela· tively unknown event ln th ls country. But Lynch belie ves it is exciting and easy to follow. Partly for these reasons, more and more Americans are taking notice, he says.

During the competition. skiers sail otf a 70-meter jump - sometimes reaching speeds of 60 mph. They fol· lowthejumpwitha15-kllometercross­country ski race.

Over the years Lynch has covered thousands of miles ln the air and on the snow, but he has made sure to exercise his mind as well.

He attended Western State College for two years. When a knee operation after the 1984 Olympics temporarily forced him out of commission, he de­voted 1985 to studying marketing at UCD.

Now Lynch physically feels as strong as ever, and training for the Olympics

and other international competitions leaves no time for school. But not one togiveup-inathleticsoracademlcs­Lynch plans to return to UCD this summer to flnish his education.

Sitting at a table ln the central· Denver apartment he shares with his wife Christina. Lynch. 30, talks about his dedication to nordlc skling.

"If you don't train year-round you'll nevermakeit."hesays. "It'sveryvlgorous."

He says he spends two to eight hours daily working out. In addition, many hours of mental training and working with skl equipment may push the total up to 12-14 hours a day when prepar· Ing for major competitions.

Even though skiing remains his priority, he has other Interests. When Lynch has time, he enjoys water ski· ing, hiking, camping and fishing. And he ls learning to golf.

When h e wants to escape the fast pace of city life, heand Christina go to his in·laws' ranch, where they ride horses and mountain bikes. It was here that ABC recently filmed Lynch for an Up Close and Personal segment to be shown during the Olympics. Addi· tlonally, he has been a guest on Good Morntng. Amertca.

This national attention doesn't faze him, though. He remains unpreten· Uous and down-to-earth.

Dressed in jeans and tennis shoes, Lynch rocks back in his c hair, resting it on two legs, and describes his early

introduction to skiing. Growing up In the Winter Park area

with six siblings, Lynch loved to watch his father (a member of the ski patrol) ski race. At the age of 6. he began rac· lng. too.

But It wasn't until he was a college freshman that Lynch dropped alpine racing to pursue nordlc combined. He says many coaches now encourage youngsters to become serious at about 13.

Lynch started later than many nor· dlc skiers, and he earned his way with plenty of hard work.

But he's not the only one who has been working hard. For years Euro­peans have dominated Americans in nordic combine d. and Lynch believes this has to do wt th a basic difference in lifestyles.

As he tilts his chair back and forth. wiggling a pen between two fingers, Lynch explains the difference.

"Americans play football. As long as thereare football fields in everybody's backyard, that's what you're gonna do. Well. there's snow in everybody's back· yard in Europe," he says.

"So it's become a big sport (in Europe), and there's a Jot of science involved, a lot of money and a Jot of interesL So when an American does well in skiing over there, it's kinda llke if the West Germans or Swiss or Nor· wegians came over (to America) and won the Super Bowl," Lynch says.

He mentions the silver medal he won in the 1987 World Championships in

- Oberstdorf, West Germany - the high· est finish ever in this competition by an American nordic skier.

When the MSC women's volleyball team lost to the University of North· ern Colorado Nov. 11, they also lost a chance to gain at least a tle for first place in the Continental Divide Conference.

ttl'm like a John Elway over there," Lynch says, laughing.

Though his talent awards him inter· national fame, Lynch feels grateful tor more than his physical prowess. He also credits his lifestyle for giving him added depth and a greater under­standing of the world and its people.

He talks about his 40 trips to Europe and his relationships with people from other countries.

"Some of my best friends are from around the world," Lynch says.

The Roadrunners, 8-4 In the confer­ence and 27-14 overall, dropped into a tie for second place with Regis College with two matches left in the season. UNC captured the conference tltlewlth

;. Even though he has friendships that know no polltlcal boundaries, Lynch points out the stress put on national glory.

"We all have theablllty toputanum· beronand let the best man win.Bu tit's the officiating and the poll tics thatget in the way of the athlete's good nature

">- - I really believe that.

.....

ttThere's so much emphasis put on winning, there's always gonna be foul play. They should just let the athletes compete and let the cards fall where they may," says Lynch.

While no one can foresee who will take home a medal in February, Lynch says he ls predicted to finish in the top three.

He placed 18th at the 1980 Olympics In Lake Placid. In the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. he finished 13th.

And like wine that improves with age, Lynch, on his third Olympic try, may bring home the gold in 1988. o Kerry Lynch
