~ Incumbents· fail: in MSC ,elections by Lou Chapman

e By a margin of over three to one, a coalition of students backed by the Metropolitan State College student body president has won all three open seats on the MSC student affairs committee (SAC).

-.., In student government elections · held Dec. 4, 5, and 6, Frederick M. Hopkins, Laurie Lucero, and Sonny Wasinger together received 927 votes, according to Neil Harlan, the election commission offi-

j cial who read the tallies Thursday night, Dec. 6.

Sandy Danaan, Larry Plume, and Jackie Walton compiled 280 votes for their SAC bids.

Although candidates were listed .- individually on the ballot, with no

party references, both the winners and the losers campaigned as coalitions for the SAC positions.

Dave Haldeman defeated Merle Fellows for MSC student trustee,

s... winning by a margin of about 72 percent. Haldeman was also supported by Floyd Martinez, president . of Associated Students of MSC.

ttews Area progral'1 helps solve diverse problems of vets by Lou Chapman I

'----;---~-=-~~~~~

A unique Denver outreach program that began with an eight-week lease on life i~ about to enter its second year of service to area veterans.

The Vietnam Era Veterans Outreach Program, sponsored by the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), began in February 1979 as a one-man operation looking into emergency social services that might be needed by Vietnam era veterans. The office has since counseled nearly two thousand veterans with problems ranging from a bed (or · tbe night to ongoing psychological readjust- · ment counseling, and it is being used as the prototype for at least 60 similar programs across the country.

Counseling for veterans suffering ' delayed stress syndrome, a result of lack of psychological readjustment after fighting in Vietnam, is the unique aspect of the office, located at 1330 Fox St., according to coordinator Bruce Nitsche.

"At first we were thinking more of all emergency types of assistance, like legal and employment," Nitsche said. "But then we saw it shifting."

The emphasis of the program was shifting to the · need to help Vietnam veterans who have been unable to adjust, and have had problems with jobs, marriages, and friendships resulting in drug and alcohol abuse, divorces,_ and suicides.

The program itself was initiated partly because of the concern of the DAV

following the findings in a two-year, DAV-funded study by Dr. John Wilson, a Cincinnati psychologist. Wilson's study documented the extreme psychological, and social readjustment problems being suffered by a minority of Vietnam veterans, years after the fighting, often going unnoticed.

"I believed delayed stress existed," Nitsche said, "but not to the extent it does."

Dr. Justin Schulz, of the Denver Mental Health Programs (part of Denver Health and Hospitals), was the first psychologist to help Nitsche. He worked part-time interviewing and counseling Vietnam vets in Nitsche's office. Schulz saw the need for group counseling ·sessions as a form of treatment for the aftected vets and also to deal with the probable number of veterans Nitsche might begin to receive in the Outreach office.

At that time, March 1979, no other agency, governmental or private, federal or local, was dealing with the Vietnam veteran as a unique entity.

In April, Vietnam vet Tom Williams, of the University of Denver School of Professional Psychology, also began counseling veterans referred bv Nitsche. Both Schulz and Williams switched to evening group sessions to help veterans seek employment or help hold current jobs.

Schulz said there may be a sequence in treating delayed stress in Vietnam

and go back to teach at the National University in Tehran. Now, her future is un- ~ certain. 1

"I did not work and study so hard for two years in order to go back and wear the veil and stay at home,'' she said.

She said a lot of Iranian women students in the Denver area agree with her.

Fariba's family was liberal. She and her sister were not raised in strict Islamic ways, and she doesn't think the educated people in her country want to go back to old ideas. .

•

"Our country isn't like the Arabic countries. Our people won't like being 'restricted," she said. "Now it's different. He (Khomeini) can't take us back 200 or 300 years. People won't go for that."

Despite the abuses of the shah's government, Fariba said the situation, for women has been improving. The shah's· sister, Princess Ashfar, pushed for changes in divorce and property laws. Before the shah, women did not have the · right to divorce, but a man could "kick his wife out" and the wife couldn't do anything about it. The husband also could keep all the property so the wife "got nothing."

Although the shah improved conditions for women, "he did other things that made people hate him," Fariba said.

She thinks the people backed Khomeini "to get rid of the shah." But Iran has to stay in the 20th century, and she doesn't see that happening under the new government.

Khomeini, she said, has done away with co-ed schools, calling them "places of corruption." He has also forbidden western music, discos, and movies.

If the situation remains the same she won't go back to Iran. She can stay here as long as she's going to school, but if the crisis worsens between the U.S. and Khomeini, she'll be afraid to stay here.

She said she was afraid when the Americans were first taken hostage in Tehran, but so far she hasn't been bothered by anyone. Now, she is afraid of reprisals by other Iranian students. She said her ideas are unpopular with them.

At first she did not want even her first name used by THE METRO POLIT AN, but she thought about it for awhile, and then said:

''Oh, go ahead, use my name. This is a free country and I have a right to my opinion."

Two African films shown ·by MSC department

An African Film Festival, sponsored by the Afro-American Studies Department of Metropolitan State College, will feature two outstanding films about African culture and politics.

Ceddo and Xala will be shown Dec. 15 at East High School, at 7:30 p.m.

Ceddo, an exciting political thriller concerning the kidnapping of a beautiful princess, examines the confrontation between opposing forces in the face of Moslem expansion. Ceddo is not only historically true, but also includes philosophy, fantasy, militant politics, and a couple of leaps across the centuries.

Xala, Ousmane Sembene's satire of modern Africa, was censored in his native Senegal. Sembene examines the myth of African independence and the wholesale blackfacing of white colonial policies by African leaders. The hero of the film is a self-satisfied, halfwesternized black businessman who is suddenly struck down by the "xala", a curse rendering him impotent. This impotence becomes a mirror of the impotence of young African nations overdepender;it on white technology and bureaucratic structures.

Editorial MSC deserves to be preserved

[ by Frank Mullen

This is my last issue as METROPOLITAN editor. I'm busting out. I'm going to grab my B.A. and make a break for the fences.

Before I leave however, there are a few things I want to rave about:

Metro State College. Several years ago I made a living as a term paper ghostwriter, authoring research papers for students at Rutgers, Fordham, Boston College, Villanova University and other eastern institutions. I stayed at dorms, audited classes, and went to parties. I saw enough of American higher education to make me vow never to enroll in a college. Colleges, I maintained, were excellent places to hide if you didn't want to work. They were places to go to learn how to get high, and since I need no further instruction in that. department, I was

determined never to wear the "student" label again. When I enrolled at Metro in 1976 it was an experi

ment against my better judgement, but my years at the college has made me reevaluate my feelings on higher education.

As a reporter for six different Auraria newspapers, I have had the opportunity to see many of MSC's shortcomings. At the same time however, my contact with the students and faculty of every academic department has convinced me the college is doing its job as an innovative urban institution serving the people of Colorado.

MSC's students are not here to hide from work; they are here in spite of it. Most Metro students hold down full-time jobs while attending school and many have dependent children. The students are here because · they want to learn; the faculty members are here because they want to teach.

To the victor: responsibility by Lou Chapman

The winners ask what the score is and the losers say shut up and deal. An oft repeated poker adage, this is also true for politics.

While the winners gloat over percentages won, total . votes garnered, and the universal truths proven by the final outcome, the losers regroup, assess the damages, and, most of all, dare the winners to prove the!Jlselves. Shut up and deal becomes the unspoken post-election battle cry.

The results of last week's elections for the MSC student affairs committee (SAC) and student trustee (see page 1) are a total sweep for the MSC student body president. He openly supported the eventual winners. The winners are saying this should end the problems that this semester have beset student government, problems that have been blamed on everything from unconsti_tutional, illegal actions to mere personality conflicts and bitterness. .

But the reverse is also true: On the surface, no one in student government needs to worry about those things now. They're all on the same team. Except for ongoing member Nancy Isaacs, every member of the SAC is now part of the same coalition. It is a co-supportive group. In any legislative group, an inherent danger exists when

all the decision makers are from the same party. Where are the watchdogs? Where is the debate?

"I don't expect them to vote my way, i> said Floyd Martinez, student body president. "I supported them because I believed they're the best.''

We hope that is true. We hope the SAC will speak as a group of individuals, and not be afraid of a little turmoil if it means arriving at a more appropriate way of conducting the business of student government. We hope their decisions are publicly arrived at, in regularly scheduled· meetings, and not totally in the offices, homes, and gathering places of the student government members (although that is the name of at least part of the·game of any political group).

The burden is even greater than before for the new SAC to put into effect campaign promises. They won. They have been democratically chosen to represent the student body. They said they will work to provide "student response." We hope they are aware of what the students need and want, and work as individuals to arrive at strong decisions together.

But just as importantly, we hope those who did not win will stay active in student politics, demanding that the winners do indeed deal the cards and get on with the game.

Guest Editorial The ASUCD proves Lord Acton's maxim

Few people doubt that old cliche, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." That's why we have ·a national constitution with checks and balances to minimize the temptation on us frail humans. But the concept of Etbsolute power is not dead. It lives on at UCO student government in the form of the Executive Council. True, most of us don't give much thought to student government, we know it's there somewhere but mostly it doesn't seem to affect our lives very much. Not true, student government affects your life every time you pay tuition.

Every time a UCO student pays tuition, $7 leaves the student's pocket and goes into the coffers of student government. That adds up to $121,000 a year. The Executive Council, a five member board, serves as the legislative and executive branches of student government and it has sole authority for spending the money. A judicial board may hear appeals of Executive Council decisions but it's up to the Executive Council to decide if it wishes to accept or reject the judicial board's findings. With a set-up like this, it's no wonder UCD has by far the highest paid student government in the state - maybe anywhere. Roughly half of this year's budget went directly to student government to spend on itself.

Some people feel one of the primary reasons for assessing student fees is to support student organizations. At UCO $16-18,000, or only 15 percent of the budget, is divided among fourteen student groups.

---------- ---- - - · , __

During the normal budgetary process last year the women's advocacy group received $6500 on the high end of the scale, and the campus anti-nuclear group received nothing at the low end. The Aurarians Against Nukes is currently seeking a ruling on funding from the judiciary board and other progressive student groups have voiced opposition to the arbitrary funding procedures of the Executive Council. In response, the Executive Council adopted - without discussion or student approval - a new set of financial guidelines which, in essence, eliminated from consideration for funding any group which takes a position on anything .. Such guidelines are directly at variance to the policies on the Boulder campus and they are probably unconstitutional as well.

It might be time to ask some serious questions about UCD student government. In the first place, do the students wish to continue to pay $121,000 a year to a student government elected by about 150 voters? If so, what activities should get priority for funding? And is it proper for the Executive Council to remain a law unto itself with no possibility for legitimate appeal of their decisions? We are looking for some answers.

pawn in the political chess game of governance. The three Auraria institutions are cooperating now

and have indicated their willingness to continue to do so. It is time for everyone to return to their work, without the spectre of an uncertain future interfering with their performance.

The Student Newspaper. Over the past four years 11 different newspapers have served the Auraria cam- • pus. Some of these publications were mismanaged to death. Others fell victim to economic pressures or the axes of vengeful student government leaders. THE METRO POLIT AN is the only surviving publication in this graveyard of student journalism.

I am biased, but I believe the present publication has done a good job serving the Auraria campus and the surrounding community. I have had very little to do with this. The credit belongs to the talent, dedication, and enthusiasm of the business and editorial staffs, made up of students from the three institutions. Hopefully, their efforts have ended the ephemeral nature of Auraria newspapers.

No newspaper can exist without a reactive audience. It is not enough to read the copy and look at the pie- • tures. If you, the reader, see something in the paper which informs you, pleases you, or makes you mad enough to bite somebody, then let the newspaper know. Write a letter to the editor; submit a guest editorial; come down to the office and scream.

A newspaper is like a play: Without an audience reaction the actors are simply talking to themselves. THE • METROPOLITAN talks directly to its audience once a week; the audience should continue to feel free to talk back.

f ·eature Skiing ·across the country

by 8. Decker

Route 72, the Peak to Peak Highway, between Ward and Rollinsville provides access to some of the finest crosscountry ski areas in the Front Range.

Among the many recognized ski areas on 72: Brainard Lake, Jenny Creek at Eldora, and the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel are a few of the best.

1. To get to Brainard Lake, go north on 1-25 and take Route 36 west to Boulder. On the "Glitter Mile" in downtown Boulder, pick up Route 119 (Canyon Blvd.) and proceed 12 miles up Boulder Canyon to Nederland. From Nederland, take Route 72, north 6 miles to Ward. Just past Ward a left hand is . marked by the Brainard Lake sign. Under normal winter driving conditions (not directly following a storm), a regular city car with snow tires can bring you the last three miles to a barrier which serves as

the trailhead. If cars are parked on the roadside do not attempt to go further. It is best to just park, because turning around is difficult - sometimes impossible. Four miles up the trail will bring you to Brainard Lake and from there trails lead to Long Lake, Lake Isabelle, Lake Albion and Greenlakes .

2. Jenny Creek, whose trailhead begins at Lake Eldora Ski Area, is one of the best touring sites for the beginning skier. To reach the area, take Route 119 through Nederland where a right turn marked by the Lake Eldora sign leads to the ski area parking lot of the ski area. The trail begins at the south end of the parking lot and heads west toward the Continental Divide. Spur trails to Lost Lake and Yankee Doodle Lake offer additional length to the tour.

North from the parking lot follows an access road on a trail for those of intermediate ability, eight miles through

Caribou Park to Rainbow Lakes. For expert ski mountaineers the Jen

ny Creek run also forms the trailhead for the Over-The-Pass-to-Winter Park route. About a quarter of a mile up the Jenny Creek trail, a sharp right follows a steep incline to the peak of Brian Mountain.

At the summit there is Arestura Hut, which the Colorado Mountain Club maintains, complete with a wood stove. You can spend the night and then ski over .the pass to Winter Park in the morning.

The trail heads down a gradual incline, then slopes steeply upward to the old narrow gauge railroad line. The trail then slopes gently upward to an old wagon road that takes you over the pass. The skier then follows the railroad grade to the bridge at Rifle Notch and on through deep powder along the Ranch Creek bed and ends in the parking lot of Winter Park.

It is imperative that the skier have

Wind gear, a down sleeping bag, snow goggles and a bivuoac sack (to be used if necessary) to make the trip. An experienced guide who have been over the trail previously is also a must. Last season, a skier became snowblind because of in5ufficient eye protection.

Expe_ct strong ground winds at the Divide and deep powder down into the Park.

Skiers are asked to replenish the Arestura wood pile as a courtesy to the next group that makes the journey.

3. The East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel can be reached by taking Route 72 south from Nederland to Rollinsville. At Rollinsville, a Moffat Tunnel road sign marks a right turn taking the skier the final six miles to the tunnel. A parking area is directly next to the tracks. On the south side of the tracks is the trailhead for runs to Forest Lake, Arapahoe Lake or Heart lake.

Ski-touring Without the forest for protection,

the wind assaulted us with icy slaps and bites. The snow was tremendously deep, almost bottomless. Caution replaced our early exuberance; a broken ski at this point would mean a long hike back in waist-deep snow.

After a few more steep stretches, we arrived at the reservoir. The Forest Service has constructed a small wooden shelter below the dam and we soon huddled inside for the much-anticipated lunch of wine, bread and cheese. Even after hours of strenuous exercise, our bodies began to rapidly lose heat. Lunch was eaten quickly and soon we were climbing the earthern dam.

X-country cheaper than downhill by Sal Ruibal

Before you can enjoy the snow-laden Colorado mountains on your crosscountry skis, you'v-e got to get your equipment together.

Cross-country equipment differs greatly from downhill., gear in both size, weight and function. Downhill gear is designed with one purpose: getting down the mountain. Cross-country skis must

, go both up and down. Cross-country skis are much longer

than modern downhill skis, even preGLM equipment. The average downhill ski purchased in 1978 was 190 centimeters long. Most cross-country skis are 215cm or longer. The increased length is important in establishing an efficient glide.

C-C skis are not as wide as their downhill counterparts and most do not have metal edges. Some wooden models have lignestone edges, a type of specially hardened wood that resists nicks and dents. Edges are not as important in making turns on C-C skis as they are in downhill.

Since cross-country skis must go both up and down hills, the bottom of the ski must be specially treated to both climb and glide, no minor achievement.

Most Colorado skiers use a combination of sticky climbing waxes and slick downhill waxes to achieve the proper balance for a day of skiing. Blue wax is best suited to Colorado snow, with a green or light green type getting the nod for the descent portion of the slopes.

Wax.less skis began appearing on the market about ten years ago, but purists shunned them because their fish-scale design was too noisy. Based on the seal-skin principle, the scales produced a whooshing sound that disturbed the snowy silence.

Once again, ski designers went to the drawing board and produced the modern "step ski." The step ski features a traction surface with deeper cuts than the fish-scale design, but limited the feature to the area under the boot and binding. This allowed for a more efficient kick, but without the excessive noise. Even purists are flocking to the step ski.

The greatest departure from downhill design is in the boot-binding combination. Downhill skiing requires that the skier be placed rigidly onto the skis in a slightly forward position. Cross-country requires that the skier kick and glide. In the forward leg motion, the heel must lift off the surface of the ski.

To accomplish this, the C-C ski boot is lightweight and low-cut, almost like a jogging shoe. The boot has an extended toe piece that fits in a three-pronged 'rattrap' binding. The binding holds the toe down, but is easily released with the tip of the pole.

The poles are usually made of bamboo or lightweight metal, and are longer than downhill poles. The poles assist in the kick and glide motion.

Aside from the basics of skis, boots and poles, there are several other pieces

.Use of UCD. fees questioned ~..J~'--~~~-b_y_K~a_re_n_B_r_e_s_lin~~~~~I

Aurarians Against Nukes have charged the University of Colorado at Denver student government with unfairly dispensing student fees under UCD's first financial guidelines.

The financial guidelines adopted by , the UCD Executive Council (elected last ~. May) set down regulations for allocating

$121,000 in student fees to student clubs, organizations or services.

The guidelines are based on the University of Colorado at Boulder model. They specify club or organization qualifications for student fee money. The

-guidelines require the club or organization to have a constitution, to be non-discriminatory, and to provide educational, social or recreational activities to students.

The guidelines prohibit religious clubs from receiving funds and rule out

He noted the Boulder campus guidelines contain no such definition.

The Executive Council did not approve of the way the group spent last year's funds. Knipps cited, as a misuse of funds, a trip taken by a faculty member and a founder of Aurarians Against Nukes to an anti-nuclear protest.

He said the group did not provide a strong case for greater funding. Educational and community activities, a complete budget, and a strong presentation are essential to receiving funds, Knipps said.

The "political" definition was added to protect the Executive Council from misusing funds, Knipps said. He said the yearly audit of the student government indicated the need for better guidelines.

"There is a lot of sensitivity as to the utilization of public funds for religious or political organizations,'' Knipps said.

"We're a little more cautious than others (student governments)," he said.

Of the $121,000 in student fee money, $49,500 pays for the student government, $18,300 is divided among the clubs. The remaining $41,402 is allocated to student services like the legal

referral service, and other programs. Nearly $12,000 is held in reserve to protect against enrollment drops or unexpected expenses.

-~oups organizing a political campaign or supporting a particular candidate. However, the guidelines do stipulate that students are allowed to "provide a forum for the expression of political and personal opinions with financial support of student fees ... "

Knipps said the $340 the Aurarians Against Nukes received was judged as minimum maintenance for the group. The money must be spent to indirectly support the group by supplying office supplies or advertising costs, he said.

The Director of Student Finances at the University of Colorado at Boulder said student fees could not be directly used to support political activities. Though she said she saw no reason why politically oriented groups could not receive indirect funding for operational

The guidelines define political as any group which advocates- a · political opinion, theory, or supports a particular

~andidate or political group. It further states that any group that takes a "onesided position therefore becoming subjec- · tive rather than objective," is also political and ineligible for student fee money.

The definition of "political" was added because state law prohibits student

,.. fees from being used to support political organizations, said Mike Knipps, chairman of the Executive Council.

The Aurarians Against Nukes were turned down twice for student funds. After further debate and pressure, the executive council allocated $340 to the

~group. · Mike Maxwell, treasurer of

Aurarians Against Nukes, believes personaHty conflicts with members of the executive council and the personal political views of the student government members stopped the anti-nuclear group from receiving more funding. He said the

expenses. _, Maxwell believes the Executive

Council wanted to deny the group any funds at all. He said last year's executive council approved the trip taken by the faculty member. And, he said, the current guidelines still do not specify only students may travel.

It's "really a false case," he said. "It became apparent it was an arbi

trary choice," Maxwell said, "And we just didn't think we should accept it."

'The Aurarians Against Nukes appealed the decision to the Judicial Board. The 5-member board is made up of persons appointed by the student government, the clubs, the faculty council,- and the staff council. The judicial board settles disputes between student government and any -student or group of students. The judicial board can recommend, though its actions are not binding. The executive council may' follow the recommendations or disregard the board's decision.

by Mary FJlen Costello I Opponents of SALT II "insist upon

clouding the issue with impossible scenarios," Bob Starrett said during a . debate Dec. 5 at the Auraria Student Center.

Starrett was leader of the pro-treaty team, part of the Special Topics Group taught by Dr. Cedric Tarr, chairman of the political science department at Metropolitan State College.

,.The anti-treaty group, led by Neil Harlan, argued that SALT II would "diminish U.S. security."

Harlan said the Soviets would be allowed unfair advantages such as the Backfire bomber, which can be converted to inter-continental use. The Russians would also be allowed, under the treaty, a greater number of long-range heavy missiles.

The pro-treaty groups said that under the terms of SALT II, the Soviet Union would be just as vulnerable to attack as the U.S. They added that SALT II was a " significant advancement" in arms limitation, but Harlan said the treaty only provided an "illusion of detente."

Disciplille, skill and a good itgent .. by Lou Chapman

John Dunning might just be lucky. How else to explain a tenth grade dropout about to have his fourth novel published and his fifth already assured a $15,000 advance?

Dunning, part-time MSC journalism instructor and former investigative and fea.ture writer for the i>enver Post, says he has the three minimum requirements for selling a novel: a good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

His agent in New York ("the only place to have an agent") pre-sold during lunch his first novel to a representative of Fawcett Publishing. The Holland Suggestions was published in 1975. It's all part of the game, explains Dunning, big, bulky, balding on top, with red hair on the sides and back, and 37 years old.

Within two months of that first sale, Dunning sold Tune In Yesterday, the only encyclopedia of old-time radio· shows. After the magazine treadmill and the eventual strait-jacket of newspaper work, Dunning was sure he was in like Flint. He sat back, probably smiled like a Cheshire cat on a limb in the moonlight, and waited for Hollywood to come after him.

But three years went by before Dunning sold another novel. Looking for Ginger North was bought by Fawcett after 22 other-publishers turned it down.

Dunning explains it was too short for some, too long for others ... all part of the game, says the soft-spoken writer who has made his living cutting glass, grooming racehorses on the thorough- ' bred circuit, ~cting as press secretary for successful and unsuccessful congressional candidates, and teaching writing. Irons in the fire, he says. Not the type of job for those into weekly paychecks.

A good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

Dunning's latest novel, Denver, is a fictitious story about the newspaper business in Denver in the 1920s. But it's all based on historical background, factual settings, and true incidents. It's a hot approach right now, he says. James • Michener would probably vouch for that.

Denver will be published in January 1980, by New York Times Publishing. They're the ones who have promised him the $15,000 advance for his next effort: a fictionalized account of Charleston, South Carolina, during the four years it was blockaded during the Civil War. Meanwhile, publishers are bidding on the paperback rights to Denver. Dunning gets half of the take, which is expected to go up to $50,000. A very timely approach right now indeed.

A good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

That leaves discipline. There's just no way around it, Dunning says. You

have to write to be a writer. Set a schedule and stick to it. Whether it's every day or three days a week, do it, sit down, write.

Dunning writes every day before the sun comes up and before anyone can telephone him, tempting him to admittedly more pleasant pursuits, such as browsing through bookstores or going out for a beer. And if he's up at 4 a.m. to write, he feels stupid if be doesn't get something done. Seven days a week. Marks them off on a large calendar, noting the number of pages written daily.

So what if what you put down on any given day is not up to par. So what if you have to go back and work it over, and over, and over. Every writer has a crud quotient, Dunning says. It's all part of the game.

Discipline. Research. Method. Dunning researches his books thoroughly before setting out to track the story across the blank pages of typewriter paper. It is obvious in the background necessary for a book like Denver.

For his third novel, Death Warrant, he knew he wanted an Amish girl from the east, an FBI agent working out of New York, and a city reporter. He spent three to four months reading library books, magazine articles and newspaper clippings·to learn the backround, character, and possible lifestyles of the Amish girl and the FBI man. He inspected his

own past to develop the reporter. And then there's the actual writing,

the hard labor end of it. Dunning almost always has the plot outlined when be starts the work. Only Death Warrant was different, and after the first few days of spontaneous writing, he was sure it.would run dry and fall apart. But it didn't... • click, click, click. Sold right out of the gate to Fawcett, too.

But those are the rare exceptions for any novelist, he says, folding thick arms across a barrel chest (ban-Ion shirt underneath a bulky-knit cardigan sweater, black wing-tipped shoes at the bottoin of .,. black polyester slacks). •

It's hard enough on a beginning novelist, anyway, right? Why make it harder, right? Dunning says maybe, maybe, 1,500 people in the U.S. live completely off the income of writing novels. Besides, the publishing houses are being bought up by corporations like RCA and American Express, and what do they care about young, creative artists, right? Dunning says they don't care much. If you're not a baseball star, a Watergate figure, or an established bestseller, ain't no cabs going to be pulling up in front of your door.

All part of the game. Unless you learn, and practice, the right rules tQ the game. A good agent, a timely approach, and discipline. And, maybe, some luck.

Roddenberry left the movie wide open for a sequel, and perhaps Star Trek II will set of fin a new direction. Someone like Harlan Ellison could write a screenplay which would take the Enterprise amt its crew where no movie has gone before.

~-MSC Senior Art Show misplaced by S. Peter Duray-Bito

There are two problems with this ~how that curiously have nothing to do

with the art. The first, obviously; is the location. The St. Francis Interfaith Center can offer only a few walls with proper lighting during the day and nothing can be viewed at night. The facility has no track lighting and no provisions for gal-

1 lery style hanging. The Emmanuel Gallery, on the other hand - but we'll get to that later.

The second problem with the Metro Senior show is uncertainties in the judging. Best of Show went to a sculpture by Roulier (an obviously bogus name, if there ever was one), who also won an

the viewer off balance with uncertainties. Leann Heany's piece, next to Fresquez', is more conventional, but still pops out at the viewer with a fine technique and good color. An Honorable Mention, at least.

On the second floor are more fine pieces. John Carroll's steel Eagle, though reminiscent of Lufthansa's bird symbol, is a graceful, dynamic addition to a 30th story exec's suite in the Anaconda Tower. At $800, only they could afford it. Keri Kelly supplements her fine ground-floor piece with two rust brown paintings that seem too similar - until you see the sewn canvas in Unbroken Circle.

'Honorable Mention and Juror's Choice from five works accepted by the jurors. This person's work is fine, especially the three grotesque sculptures lined along a wall on the second floor. But winning three prizes too obviously belabors Roulier's work in lieu of other equally

_.notable works. There is no question that Pat

Sheller's Untitled #23 and Carlos A. Fresquez' illusionist piece, both on the ground floor, should have won more than Honorable Mention. Sheller flourishes·through translucent layering of

Sandra Perkins' Nude #4 is a distorted, derogatory nude figure brilliantly textured, but, unfortunately, horribly lighted. Dorothy · Jean Smith's Red, o Yellow, Orange uses a three-planar iii screen that is innovative but somehow tdoesn't come off satisfactorily. Further ~ down the hall are works of lesser note: ~ S.W.

, slapped-on paint, reminiscent of Jackson Pollock, yet the work of a different mind. Fresquez neatly combines illusionist elements with reality to keep

Which brings us to the major bone to pick. These pieces are by Metro seniors who will be out in the big, wide world in a few short months. With the ·exception of those who are crassly commercial, these fine artists will be depending on people to see their work and appreciate it (and buy

it). Few can see the work at St. Francis, let alone appreciate it. The facility, wonderfully open and airy in its own right, simply doesn't lend itself to exhibitions.

The Emmanuel Gallery: excellent track lighting, good viewing distances, easy accessibility, seemingly ·forever reserved for faculty shows and never open.

At this time in the Emmanuel are three holographic displays by Metro instructor R. Edward Lowe that leave the building's walls almost totally empty.

Denying this excellent space from hard-working students trying to display their talents makes my blood boil.

Viet Vets continued from page 3 veterans, starting with resolving the anger and powerlessness they feel. Dealing with the loss of friends in the senselessness of the Vietnam conflict is next. Also, the veteran must be helped over his feelings of self-disgust and sense of suryivor guilt, two emotions Schulz said are hard to separate.

"I have not yet seen a guy," Schulz said, "who would encourage his son to go to war or the service.''

Meanwhile, Nitsche was continuing to develop ties with community agencies to help with his growing list of services: emergency housing, food, and financial assistance, employment, legal referrals, VA benefits and claim counseling, in addition to the growing psychological counseling load.

"What was hard to hear was, 'The VA should deal with that'," Nitsche said. "But the community sent them (to Vietnam), they're from the community - the community should help them."

In the summer, the DAV decided to expand the program to 62 other cities. Denver had been one of six pilot cities to test the project.

"It seemed to be the right people coming along at the right time to make it all work," Nitsche said of the Denver office. "We were able to show numbers to justify the program. It's hard to believe how big the problem is."

According to Nitsche's office statistics, he received from vets about 1,500 contacts in nine areas of counseling and assistance from June through October. Psychological and psychiatric counseling contacts went from 62 in June to 310 in October. (Every time a vet contacts the office for a specific problem it counts as one contact, even if he's been in the of-· fice before.)

Schulz said he can measure the success of his work with the veterans by

., noticing "very marked changes in behavior." He said the veteran will stay

on a job rather than walking out or punching the boss, and marriage relationships might become less violent and erratic.

'_'They learn to channel their anger in a more productive way, ' ' he said.

Developing a new belief in trust - in friends, spouses, and themselves - is another sign of success, he said. He added that the general time period for a group to meet is about six months, or about 20 sessions.

"But if we can undo in six months what it took the Army thirteen months to do " Schulz said "I don't think we're dolng bad at atl.' ''

The Outreach Program has four group sessions a week, with a waiting list. Another local psychologist, Dr. Kathy Jens, and Candis Willillms, of the University of Denver School of Profession.al Psychology, have begun group sessions for the wives of veterans who are in delayed stress counseling. The effects of delayed stress usually create family problems that must be understood by both husband and wife.

Besides assistance from Schulz and Williams, Nitsche now has another psychologist and a full-time DAV department advocate working half-time in his office. Both positions are funded by the Colorado DAV for the nationallysponsored program.

Nitsche would like to add to his staff a full-time psychologist, full-time social worker, someone to handle discharge upgrades only, and a full-time attorney. A lot of these requests and plans, he said, would have been thought of as silly one year ago.

"Nobody's sitting around on their hands," Nitsche said. "There's other things to be done all the time, but no time to do them."

The office has its bottlenecks, its delays in helping veterans, its frustrations with their own and other "systems," but at least it has proven itself, and has been given a new, open-ended lease on life.
