Apathy the foe of a free press

Do special interests or students decide what makes The Met?

As everybody knows, a free press is safeguarded in order to serve the interests of its readers.

A free press will, with equal ardor, dissect a presi­dent's foriegn policy and investigate his colon and pros­tate, all in the name of service to readers.

The readers have the right to know . And, as almost everyone understands, this is only half

of the story. The other half is bred from a protection of another hallowed freedom, which is enterprise. The .media, print as well as broadcast, is business.

Witness the headline one-up-manship of any city's competing dailies, or the occasional, yellowed ragsheet ramblings of this city's weeklies.

The impetus, always, a rise in readership.

(The pursuit of ever-rising circulation figures trans­lates as easily into the right of more readers to know as it does into ever-increasing advertising rates. Publishers like this last formula).

The protection of a college p~~s( f~ee righ!J~_ex_er­cise -fs upheld for these same reasons, save financial delight for a publisher. Though this particular college press procures 60-percent of its operating budget from self-generating revenue (advertising and freelance work), it is not expected to tum a profit.

It can serve, unfettered, its readers. For this particular newspaper, serving this particular·

campus, the glitch in the formula is the lack of an adequate definition of those readers.

Who are you? No one knows for sure. The editorial staff of this paper receives criticism and

feedback from only a tiny minority of its readers -special interest-minded staff, faculty and administra­tion of this college. The special interests desire increased coverage of the policies and programs designed by them to achieve their goal of building a "positive image" for their college.

The staff hears comparatively little from the students of Metro, and that's the rub. Because the fees of MSC students comprise the remaining 40-percent of this paper's operating budget, the students are a co­operative publisher. Therefore, this paper has a sub­stantial responsibility to the students, and for this colle­giate newspaper, the most relevant question -who are the students? What do they desire/require from their free press? ·

This is an easy question for editorial staffs of college papers located on more traditional campuses. There, the student demographics are well defined and consistent.

But Metro/ Auraria is different. The students are dif­ferent, and it follows that their interest and concerns are different. ·

What do you want from your college press? Do you rush each week to discover the exploits of

your teachers (as the vocal minority rush to discover the exploits of their colleagues and subordinates)? Do you

- -

look for news of political/bureaucratic scandal? Recent readership surveys indicate that, not includ­

ing the two dailies, Westword is the only real competi­tion for The Metropolitan here on campus.

Do you want more Westword type investigative hip to be hep to be hype? More arts and culture sidewinks? A personality press?

Would more of you attend MSC extracurricular events if those events received more coverage in the Met, or would it only appear that, since the Met is in attendance as the reader's representative, the students are in attendance as well? And perhaps your lack of attendance at every cultural event and any basketball game does not mean that you don't want to read about these events.

Are you moved or entertained by the Veterans Day reflections of an MSC Vietnam Vet? Do you refer to issues of the Met when choosing to see a film or a local play?

The folks responsible for the advancement of this institution's image believe you should know of all cam­pus and community evt:nts bearing the MSC logo. Any campus club believes you should know of all their activ­ities, and student government believes you should know some things and not know others. The adminis­tration, the "college government" believes this also.

The editorial staff at the Met is frequently accosted with "don't tell anyone I told you, but you should know that .. . " or ''I've got a secret, but you can't tell anyone."

Who protects whose press to inform whom? What do you require/ desire from your access to a

free press? After surveys, meetings with groups of special inter­

est, and staff debates, the current editorial group has determined to continue offering its selected smorgas­bord of interest and entertainment -the bottom line always on significance with a college perspective.

If you hurry each week to a distribution box to dis­cover the newest tangent in student government intrigue, or if your copy of the product of your free press gets stuffed in your backpack to be read over your coffee table or on your john, be encouraged to make your desires/ requirements known.

After all, if no interest is the norm, then apathy is the story. And those who desire the collegiate press to step into the shoes of college promotion and image building will find ample fodder for their assault on the credibil­ity of a college press.

Who reads the Met, anyway? -BH

January 23, 1987 The Metropolitan •

Apathy should be allowed at Metro The responsibility of a student press is to inform its

readers with pertinent dialogue. Hopefully, an informed student body can then see to

it that the people that run the school - the people paid by the students and other tazj>ayers - do so properly.

It works on paper. At Metro, the students who don't have the interest in

how:the school is run (just that it is here for them) are the people that Metro was designed for. The older students who work, live and give back to this community are the reasons why people like Roy Romer started this college.

It's a catch-22 though. · · Those older students don't have time to fool with the

college politics. They barely have time to further their education. And nobody understands the silent ways of you older students like our pal Paul Magelli.

The president of this school has his sights set on something (it's hard to say if it's a New Age Metro or a Proven Presidential Portfolio) and he's counting on the

apathy to see it through. A few years ago, the student who threatened to

transfer because "there is no campus life here" found a "No kidding" response. See ya, dude.

Now, people are bending over backwards to con­vince these young people to stay.

"We got~ campus life! Yes we do. We got a campus life. Just for you!"

And a campus life is good for a lot of colleges. But it costs so much. Student fees are going to go up again _ (even though they said last year's increase was the last for a long time).

It's evolution, I guess. A true non-traditional college just can't survive in this

New Age. It can't survive with Prez Paul taking advantage of

the students who choose to be too busy - the students this school was built for.

adventures beyond the hallowed halls of higher education

Ex-student body president forced to eat garbage

by Christopher Dahle

Three guys from Boulder shaved my head.

It's not that I wouldn't wash my hair, it was just that I couldn't. Tak­ing a shower in Alaska is kind of like standing in a broom closet while a large wet dog shakes himself dry.

I didn't mind that.

We arrived in Alaska on May 29, 1986 after a disastrous trip. Contin­uous car trouble had swallowed most of our travel money. My younger brother and I had $17 between us.

We had been led to believe that we were to begin work on June l. But it was when the first small halibut

I didn't mind because the alterna­tive to shivering under a garden hose rigged up to an upended steel tub in the cannery's back lot was to hitch­hike 15 miles into town and pay five bucks for 10 minutes under a luke warm drizzle.

"One year ago I couldn't have imagined eating garbage. Now I know I can suroive and thrive through any situation."

So I settled for the steel tub, but I got greedy. I decided that it would be nice to build a little shed next to the tub, a place to hang my towel and get dressed out of the dirt and wind. It was a luxury I thought I deserved after standing in fish guts up to my ankles for 12 hours with fish blood on my face and scales and slime up to my armpits. So I

place to have a shower landed me in the Peninsula Hospital Emergency Room.

I got 40 stitches and was allowed to hallucinate on Codeine for 2 weeks. I couldn't even stand up in a shower'let alone get the stitches wet, so that's where the boys from Boulder came in.

sible. We'll try to take the opinion­ated pulse of the student body.

If you see Steve, our man On The Street, take a minute to answer a few questions. We promise to keep them brief ( 30-to-60 seconds, unless you care to expand) and we won't sell you anything, ask you to sign a peti­tion or chant.

Question: Do you think the stories in the Met are fair and objective?

On The Street January is Freedom of the Student Press Month, so

we set out to see what the students think about their free press.

We came up with a pat answer - OK. But more distressing was the feeling that most people

don't give a damn about the campus paper. Many don't read it and even fewer have a desire to find out what's happening on campus.

Some of that attitude can be attributed to the ques­tions being hurled on the first, snowy day of class. Some of that attitude may change once the semester gets rolling and the fears of tough class schedules, book prices and parking hassles die down. But the fact that students at Auraria are busy and quite apathetic about the campus life is not news to us. In fact, having little extra time often seems to be the only common denomi­nator between the many generations that attend Auraria.

On the subject of a free student press, . everyone interviewed said a free press is essential to the college campus. Almost unanimously, they express confidence that the Met is not influenced by ·the college admini­stration.

And while they think the student paper should pro­vide space for articles written by administrators, they also would welcome (yet another) publication on cam­pus if it were published-by the adminstration. Although students felt such information would be biased, they seem to welcome any - and all - available information.

We were surprised by this apparent inconsistency.

Lauren Carlton: "Usually. They need to be a lit­tle more liberal in their ideas and cover more important issues."

Lonnie Curbs: "Yeah. They're pretty fair to everybody."

Dean Christen­sen: "Not really. They need more facts and they are very cliche-ish and opinionated on the subjects they cover .... And I thought they got rid of Car­son Reed."

II.reasons

In a recent report on the status of the athletic program at Metro, President Paul Magelli cited 16 ways in which a strong athletic department benefits a college.

Of course Magelli is trying to justify the existence of the Roadrunners and their padded budget, but some of these 16 reasons are downright silly.

The following are a few of Magelli's examples of 'Why Athletics?":

Athletics provides a simulation of a miniature corpo­rate environment and the learning of the social skills necessary in this environment.

Hmmm. Roadrunners, Inc.? Or maybe, Roadrunners Express, like People's Express, where they all take turns coaching, playing and sweeping the gym floor after the games.

Athletics provides insight into the role of luck in Zif e and of the limits one has over events in one's life.

Athletics shouldn't get full credit for this. Any student can gain this "insight" by trying to deal with the finan­cial aid office, or trying to find a free parking place on campus.

Athletics p_rovides opportunity to obtain financial aid to enhance accessibility.

Accessibility to what? Maybe athletics could have

Seeing Red

Did ya see it! Who needs Marvin Hamlisch? WE got Red. OK, you're sitting in the Mission drinking a

watered-down wet one watching the tube and what do you see?

Vanna . .. no, not Vanna White. Sports programs. The news or ACES or some

sports program. Anyway, what do you see? Red Miller. He must be talking about the Broncos -right?

"Tum it up, man, that's Red." And what the heck if he doesn't have on a Metro

State Roadrunner Insignia Jacket ($23 at the Aura­ria Book Center).

"He's a people person," Coach Hull said in a recent Denver Post interview. "He gives us a very positive image."

And I thought we had to win games. I'm so naive it kills me. Any turbulence the

Athletic Program hits from here on out won't be a

taught the author of this list to write more clearly. Athletics aids in the recruitment of students. A statement like this one doesn't say much for the

academic programs Metro has to offer. OK, a vote. Answer honestly. How many of you

chose Metro over CSU, CU, UCD or any other higher education institution because of the Roadrun­ners?

And the list goes on. To aid both President Magelli and the athletic

department, the following could be added to 'Why Athletics?":

1. Athletics provides an outlet for student fee surpluses.

2. Athletics increases tuition yearly. 3. Athletics provides the Physical Education building

with another reason to expand. 4. Athletics teaches athletes the essentials of high-rise

living at the Parkway Center "dorms." 5. Athletics provides athletes with a blue "Metro

State" jacket. 6. Athletics promotes the fact that most MSC students

are too apathetic to attend an athletic event. 7. Athletics gives the Booster Club something to

boost. 8. Athletics gives homecoming an event to be planned

around. 9. Athletics gives the student press colorful editorial

ideas. 10. Athletics gives athletes a reason to demand their

own section in the student newspaper. 11. Athletics teaches athletes that they don't always

get what they demand. . -LLA

problem because Red's hot: Red knows money and he's got connections.

Everybody in Denver knows Super Bowl Red. Fifty thousand bucks and double the Booster

Club membership - that's The Red Pledge. We're saved. And all the holiday season I've been worried about

the gang. See, J .R. Smith - the backbone of the Athletics Department - stopped me in the hall a few weeks back and asked me to take over the Booster Efforts. He offered a lucrative proposi­tion: I boost the Boosters and for my efforts I receive a Roadrunner hat ($8), a set of Roadrunner sweats ($47), "maybe a jacket, we'll see," and something to do with cheerleaders.

Everything but the cheerleaders, I promptly replied, I'm in!

But before I did my first Roadrunner Deed and before I got my first Roadrunner anything, I got dumped.

It makes me Red Hot. I can manage money (with my wife's help). I can

be an Athletic Supporter (or something like that). Why Red over Bob?

Your words here. The absence of a letters page means the absence of letters. A public forum in the form of letters to the editor is essential to a healthy college campus. Speak out.

Editor,

Sexual harassment from (;(;lover boy'' professors

I am writing to you about a problem which is weaving itself into the fiber of our society. It is an insidious monster which has crossed all lines of intellect and now rears its bead in one of the most cherished areas - the hallowed halls of our colleges. We are faced with our female college students being exposed to sexual harassment and not by their fellow students, but by the trusted male professors.

It really annoys me when I hear of a college professor making a move on a female student. This is often the case when a married woman returns to college after a long absence. Male professors make assumptions that married women only return to school because they are bored and looking for excitement. The men don't stop to think that in addition to being a student, they work full time jobs and take care of families. The male professor only works eight hours and goes home, or so it seems, since they have time to make phone calls and have special meetings in their offices. They don't realize that these "Wonder Women" don't really care for the "Lover Boy" professor's attention at all.

I do believe that there are some women who are insecure or basically lazy who will trade sex for their. grade. These women are part of the cause of sexual harassment of other women by professors. The professors, through their associa­tion with these women, build an image of themselves that leads to their deviant behavior. But, just because of a few immoral women, other innocent women shouldn't have to be subjected to the disgraceful behavior of these professors.

President Mage by Lisa Arndt

Try saying the name "Marvin Ham­lisch" to President Paul MageUi or any of the president's men, and you'll get some peculiar reactions.

Since the rumor that Hamlisch, the award-winning composer, was to pen Metro's school song was leaked to The Metropolitan last fall, a lot has hap­pened to ruffle a few presidential feathers.

The following is a chronology of the Hamlisch-Magelli chain of events.

Oct. 28: The Metropolitan learned that Hamlisch might write Metro's school song. After several futile at­tempts to contact President Magelli for an official comment, a reporter finally got through and received a "no com­ment" statement.

Oct. 29: After several futile attempts to confirm the story with Hamlisch's agent, a reporter contacted a public relations spokesperson at the Denver Symphony Orchestra (which was

supposed to be involved in unvetlin~ the new song sometime this spring; confirmed that Hamlisch was indeed writing the school song, as far as sht knew, but she was unsure of the details

Shortly thereafter, Harry Gianneschi, vice president of institutional adv~e· ment, further confirmed the alleged Hamlisch agreement, and provided the necessary details.

President Magelli was then told wha1 The Metropolitan had learned and said a premature article would have a nega· tive impact on the Hamlisch deal. ·~ he explained it, Hamlisch wanted a media splash with an official announce· ment at a press conference.

Later that day, as The Metropolita11 went to press with the story on the front page, MSC Public Relations was busy distributing premature pr~ss releases to the other Denver media.

Oct. 30: The Rocky Mountain New~ and The Denver Post ran articles about the Hamlisch deal-with the Post's on the front page.

Auraria provides free parking

The Auraria campus provided free parking for the first time in its history last week, acting executive director Jim Schoemer said.

When campus parking officials allowed Denver Broncos fans to park free for the pep rally last Sunday, they were saying goodbye to the $2,000 usually collected from Broncos parkers.

"I don•t know that there's been free parking on campus, .. Schoemer said. "I honestly don't think it's been done before."

Schoemer said he ordered the free

parking to "cooperate with the city. Somebody, I'm not sure who, asked us to do it. It came from somwhere. Somebody requested it."

But not everybody thinks the cam­pus should be so friendly.

Parking Director Dick Alfultis said he was not in favor of giving away the free parking but when ordered by the campus administration, had no choice. Metro's student reppesentative to the Colorado Commission on Higher Edu­cation said the decision is inconsistent with rulings made in the past.

Mlt's interesting because Alfultis told us we couldn't give students a free day parking-well, he said it was our deci­sion but fees would go up," Gil Perea said.

Barbara Houghton, a photography professor at Metro, said giving free parlcing away is "sleazy."

You never see them give away free parkingforcampus events. Why should we give it away for this?" a

Nov. l! The Hamlisch topic again appeared on the Post's front page. This time, however, it reflected r.iegatively on Metro and Magelli. A.~ost reporter contacted Hamlisch and found he knew nothing about the Metro tune.

"My answer is probably no," Ham­lisch was quoted as saying. "I don't want to sound like an ogre, but if I say yes to one, I will have 400 schools ask­ing me to do ·it."

The Post said Gianneschi told them the information was released because,

A reporter for the school's newspaper had told Metro officials that Ham­lisch's agent had confirmed that the composer was writing the song."

But when Robert Davis, editor of The Metropolitan contacted Gianne­schi the next day, Gianneschi said the reporter did acknowledge talking to the agent, and he assumed reporter had received a confirmation.

Nuggets owner, Sidney Shlenker, who Magelli said helped organize the deal, said, "(Metro) made a mistake. They should have kept their mouths shut."

Nov. 3: The Rocky Mountain News reported that Hamlisch denied know­ledge of the deal with Metro, but agreed to write the song for "my good friend Sidney Shlenker."

Dec. 31: In its "Worst of Denver" issue, W estword awarded Magelli the Golden Carp Award for the PR foul-up.

Westword's backbeat editor, Gil Asakawa, said the Golden Carp Awards are presented for "things through the year we find interesting," and are "and indication of our times."

Jan. 12: Gianneschi and several of Metro's key PR people met with The Metropolitan's editorial staff to im­prove working relations between the two entities. Among the past difficul­ties discussed was the Hamlisch story.

Gamblers may find a rocky road to Super Bowl

by Sean-Michael Giimore

Three hundred bucks isn't a whole lot of money. But it'll pay a months

J rent or cover tuition if you're part­time. So it's not so bad, especially if you didn't have to work for it.

But $330 is what you would have made betting a hundred bucks a game on the Broncos from the begin­

,.. ning of the regular season through the playoffs.

The Broncos were 11-7 covering the spread during the season -probably the only performance stat you won't see on the sports page.

But it's just about the most impor­tant one to me.

Not only am I a massive Bronco fan, I'm also addicted to wagering on football.

When everyone else is sitting around the tube Sundays drinking beer with reckless abandon and pray-

• ing for a win, I'm praying for a win plus three and a half. It makes things a little more exciting.

There's something about taking a risk and making money without lift­ing a finger (except the one you use to dial the books' number) that appeals to me. I also happen to be goqd at it (with a little luck of the Irish).

Like a lot of people, I picked the Broncos and the N. Y. Giants to wind up in the Superbowl, and those two

_,.,_ teams literally paid my way through college this year.

Not that I didn't have my ups and downs - I did - and I'd like to share some of them as well as som'? tips and a few awards to the boys who high-lighted the season.

1 The What the Heck, Go for Six

,_

Award goes to the offensive player of the year, #20 of the N. Y. Giants, Joe Morris.

At the end of a Monday Night game against the Washington Reds· kins, the score was tied and the

Giants were driving down the field just hoping to get in field goal range for the win, but a field goal didn't cover the three and a half point spread and I had six bucks on the game (for those of you who don't know, a "buck" is a hundred dollars and a "dime" is a thousand, etc).

After the Giants reached the Reds­kins' twenty yard line it was a sure bet they would just run the clock down and kick the field goal and I could kiss my six hundred goodbye. but with 1:42 left on the clock they give the ball to Morris, that lovely man, and he decides to run to the right for 13 yards and the touchdown to cover the spread.

That run, by the way, enabled me to pay off the $400 I owed the city of Denver for parking fines and remov­ing the boot from my car.

Rule #1- Never Bet Money You Don't Have to Cover a Bill You Can't Pay.

After that close call I swore I'd never bet on football again. Two weeks later - on a hunch and for purely sentimental reasons - I put three "bucks" on the Broncs minus three over the Redskins. This meant that Denver had to win by a least four points.

The Broncos only won by a point and I was down three plus the ten percent juice to the book.

. (The book takes a IO-percent pay­ment - juice - from the loses. By taking an equal number of bets on each side of a game, the book is assured of making money each week.)

So I called up the man Sunday morning with another hunch. I put six bucks on the Cincinnati Bengals minus three and a half over the Browns.

The Bengals got slaughtered 34-3. All of a sudden I'm down $990 and I'm starting to get a little worried. So the heck with hunches, I had to use my brain ..

I found a lock (a sure thing) on an afternoon game.

The Vikings (who had a shot at the play-offs) were playing the Houston Oilers, the second worst team in pro­fessional football. With a shaking hand holding the receiver I put a dime on Minnesota.

They lost 23-10. Now I'm down $2,145. If I sold

everything I own plus my little old gray-haired mother I just might be able to cover the debt. But I still had

one more shot at it. I still had Mon­day Night Football and with the true lunacy of a born gambler I decided to risk it all.

After a sleepless night I once again called the man and with a shaking hand and a quavering voice I asked, "Pretty please could I havt: two dimes on the Detroit Lions mii.us ten against the Chicago Bears?"

This was a lot more money than I had ever bet before and if I lost I would owe $4,290, which would def­inately put me down and cut. O:it, as in out of town. History. A. Hos. They'll have to break my mother's legs because 111 be gone.

The Save My Kneecaps Award goes to the defense of the Detroit Lions for firing up and holding the Bears to a one point win. Cod bless them. Now if you were following all this you would know I Y 1ound up owing $90, which I was more than happy to pay.off.

Rule #2 - Never Double Up On a Loss.

This time I was absolutely never, ever betting again. But that didn't include play-off games and besides I wanted to go out on a. win. So I admit it - I threw some cash on the Broncos once again over the Patriots.

The Nobody. Wins by Fivt: When the Spread is Four and a Half Award. goes to the defensive player of the year #75, Rulon Jones of the Denver Broncos, who, at the end of the game, when it looked like the Broncs would win but not cover, sacked Tony Eason in the end zone for a safety.

You gotta love the guy. Which brings us to Rule #3 -

Never Bet on the Super Bowl. There is too much hype, too much time for the teams to think about it and one team invariably chokes. So I'm not betting on the Bowl. Besides, I've made my money and I'm done till next season.

But I sure do like the Broncos plus nine. D

Bronco-mania has hit Metro and a few of our department heads and faculty members have given The Met­ropolitan their prediction of the out­come of the Super Bowl. Some backed up their statements with coaching ideas that Coach Reeves would have been happy' to hear, while other were not the predicting type, and only hoped for the best. This is a list of our few brave souls with their predictions and ideas. How will they do . . .

Stiff competition teaches Roadrunners ..

by Heidi Gaiser

Though Metro's men's basketball team notch~d a 4-4 record in games played over the Christmas break, head coach Bob Hull feels some of the tougher losses could be more impor­tant for the Roadrunners than their wins, as Metro heads into the thick of conference play.

"We tried to get some stiff competi­tion right before the conference," said Hull, whose team is now 9-6 overall and 1-1 in the Great Northwest Con­ference. "Sometimes you can learn a lot more by losing than winning an easy game," he said.

Metro faced its biggest challenge on a five-game road stint after Christmas, including a trip to the Angelo State

rebounded, out-shot them and every­thing else. We just turned the ball over too much."

Metro closed out the road trip in top form with a 72-56 conference victory over Seattle Pacific, to hand Seattle its worst home defeat in four years. ....

Before the five straight road con­tests, Metro was at home for three games, beating, Western State 78-58, and Eastern New Mexico 77-70. West­ern New Mexico gave the Roadrunners their only home loss of the break, a 77-71 defeat just before Christmas.

Hull said post player Rich Grosz was one of the team's top performers over the break. Grosz has been scoring con­sistently and rebounding in double figures, and is currently second in the conference in rebounding, averaging •

Tournament in Texas where the Road­runners lost to Howard Payne and Angelo State.

Both were hard losses, as the Road­runners stuck with each team to the final buzzer. Metro held a 15-point lead over Howard Payne during the game, but Howard Payne came back for a 85-81 win. Against Angelo State, the Roadrunners were closing in on a win, until with two seconds to go, a foul and a technical were called on Metro. The Rams sunk three free throws to seal a 69-66 victory.

The Roadrunners had opened their trip with a 77-62 win over New Mexico Highlands, and following the Texas tournament, travelled to Seattle for their conference opener against Puget Sound. Metro lost the close battle 60-56.

"We outdid them in every statistical category except points," Hull said about the Puget Sound defeat. "We out-

around 10 boards per game. Point guard Curt Robinson has also been a strong player as team leader, Hull said.

A much needed rest from travelling awaits the Roadrunners, who will be at home for 8 of their next 9 games, he said.

"We feel pretty good about being 9-6 now, considering we've been play­ing some tough competition and we've now got a lot of home games," said Hull. "We should be able to get healthy and rested now on this run of home games."

Metro will host Alaska Anchorage, the second-ranked team iri NCAA Div­ision II, on Saturday, Jan. 24. Alaska Anchorage has beaten Texas and the University of Washington, both Div­ision I schools, and its three losses this season have been to Division I clubs, including Iowa and Michigan. D •

~~-Betrayal,, explores marita·I infidelity - d'isturbingly

by Bob Haas

In production at intimately small and imminently comfortable Jack's Theater on Platte Street is Hunger Artists' production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, an intimately moving and imminently disturbing exploration of marital infidelity.

Pinter is regarded as a contempor­ary master of dramatic dialogue - his characters as famous for what they don't say as for what they do say.

In Betrayal, Pinter overwhelms the

audience with a love triangle of pitiful proportions, and Hunger Artists mes­merize the audience with a rigid and confident adherence to a quality script.

The story is simple. Jerry (Bruce Godsman) and Robert (Phi Bernier) are old friends from college; they share literary professions as well as Robert's wife, Emma (Janet Spencer­Godsman).

The play moves backwards in time, beginning after the end of Jerry and Emma's affair. The two are empty vessels in the first scene, no longer

Metro Homecoming

The MSC Homecoming festivities, including basketball games, an alumni reception and a banquet and dance, will take place Jan. 31 in the Physical Education building.

The women's basketball game beg­ins at 5:30 p.m., the alumni reception at 6:30, and the men's basketball game at 7:30,.. followed by the banquet and dance.

The banquet will feature a lasagna dinner, and the dance will feature music by The Mechanics.

Admission to the games is free for MSC students, $2 for faculty and staff and $4 for the general public. Admis­sion to the banquet is $2.

Homecoming is sponsored by MSC Student Government and the MSC Alumni Association. D

concerned about hurting each other, just as they had not been concerned about hurting Robert.

This is the strength of the play -their utter lack of self-examination and concern for others mirrored in an hed­onistic penchant for high-brow literary discussion.

Husband and wife Godsman and Spencer-Godsman are superb as the lovers. Godsman gives Jerry a touch of the nerd, a touch of the self-centered professional, and a touch of the mani­pulative philanderer. But he tautly refrains from giving the character any real depth. His wife plays his lover as a cross between a social bimbo and a spineless wench.

At the end of the play (seven or eight years prior to the first scene), Jerry and Emma are entwined in exuberant mutual infatuation. They are young: carefree lovers in lust. The Godsmans

inject the scene with such energetic innocence that one is tempted to grant them absolution for their sexual trans­gressions which the years will bring.

But we've already seen the damage that their carefree love/ lust will bring, so this last scene of innocence becomes repugnance incarnate. This is skillful theatrical manipulation.

Phi Bernier's Robert is a touching third to this torrid triangle. He is a man of honor, a gentle man who believes in civilized ways. Though hurt by his wife and best friend's betrayal, he strives to rise above, to remain true to his convictions.

Bernier is marvelously understated. He is calm in the face of turmoil, he winks slyly with suspicion, yet offers non-hypocritical compassion. Bernier carries himself with an elegance that defies the sordid betrayal around him.

Betrayal runs through Feb. 14 at Jack's Theater, 1553 Platte St. Infor­mation at 863-8608 D

THIS YEAR A LOT OF COLLEGE SENIORS WILL BE GRADUATING.

INTO DEBT. · Being a new graJuatc with a loan to pay off can take the fun

out of your stare in the "real world'.' But here's an interesting alternative to the burdens of delit: sign up with the Army, and we'll sign off on your loan.

Each year you serve as a soldier, the Army wi II reduce your college debt by Yi or $1, 500, whichever amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your government loan will be completely paid off.

You're eligible for this program with a National Direct Student Loan, or a Guaranteed Student Loan, or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after October 1, 1975. And the loan can't be in default. (Effective April 1, 1986, it is not possible for a soldier to participate in both the GI Bill education program and the· Loan Repayment Program.)

College memories shou ld be fond ones. Keep them that way by taking advantage of the Army's Loan Repayment Program. Your local Recruiter can tell you if your loan qualifies. Call today.

Hamllsch/trom p. 11 to have been on the phone when a stu­dent reporter placed four calls through­out the afternoon - failed to return the calls before he left for the day.

Jan. 20: Reporters began calling Gian­neschi again at mid-day and were told the vice-president would return at 2 p .m. But at 2:30 his secretary said he had left for the day.

President Magelli was contacted and curtly told a reporter, "I have nothing going on with Marvin Hamlisch," and said that he had no official comment on the subject.

Lucy Branch of MSC Public Rela­tions was then called to see if she could verify that Gianneschi was gone for the day. She said she was to have a meet­ing with him before she left and would find out where he was. Twenty min­utes later Branch called back and said she had talked to Magelli in hopes of getting The Metropolitan get more information.

"He was not going to discuss Ham­lisch with anybody," she said. "He

Do women really need specific edu­cation in their rights to be treated fairly under the law? Doesn't justice strive to be blind to race, creed and sex? Her response is neither strident nor angry, just incredulous.

"Anyone walking around on U.S. soil knows that there are some real problems women face in having equal­ity. The fact that the Equal Rights Amendment couldn't get into the U.S. Constitution says that."

wouldn't even tell me anything." She also said Magelli was upset at

being named in the "Worst of Oenver" issue. She described The Golden Carp Award as something "given to people . who do really dumb things." ..

"He paid a really big price," she said. A few minutes later, Magelli called

The Metropolitan to explain his vehe­ment reluctance to talk to the news­paper about Hamlisch.

"I got burned last time," he said. "It~ triggered a front-page story in the Post," which, in tum, upset the trustees.

"I wouldn't touch that story with a ten-foot pole," he said.

Because of the Golden Carp Award, "My credibility goes down the tubes," he said.

His final words: "Paul Magelli is not involved."

If Paul Magelli is not involved, who is?

Perhaps Gianneschi. Perhaps nobody - now that's pub-

In class, Elliott will back up her views with an "infrastructure" of legal cases she says will enlighten - and maybe distress - the students she is • clearly itching to teach.

"We had a lot of Metro students at the ACLU rally on campus last year and it was really fun to listen to them, to talk to them in hallways," she said in earnest. "They're a real bright group of people who all lead very interesting lives. I'm really looking forward to this." 0
