the printing press roars to life. Watch that registration. Watch that color. Don't blur that island on page two.

Rolling in the wind and danc­ing across traffic on Lawrence, the paper ends up in a puddle of pieces.

In a fireplace in Breckenridge, perhaps, Marvin Hamlisch puts flame to wood. Apropos.

"Write a page two piece," they said. "It's your turn." OK. What the hell is a page-two­piece? A filler? A spot of news?

Maybe an island in the muck.

My baby ate my notes the other day.

It's a common problem around my house. If it's paper, it's pretty yummy. Teachers don't buy that, though.

"You're what?" "My baby. Hannah. She ate

-well, drooled them to death really- my notes, they're gone."

"Right. Sorry." I don't mind. As long as she

got to spend some time with the notes I guess one of us will get an education. But profs are funny about letting things slide. Tard-

March 6. J987 The Metropolitan

Living on bolog1]!!

'Bob' and 'Jerry' angry Bob and Jerry live on the street. They agree to talk while they wait

for sandwiches at St. Elizabeth's because "maybe it will make a differ­ence." Too many people go hungry and too many are homeless, they say.

...; "As much as we produce in this nation, there should be no hunger," Bob says.

Bob speaks with the articulation that comes from two years at the Univer­sity of Colorado. In the late '70's, he

~ had a job, a house, a family. Why he is homeless today, he won't say.

Jerry did time in the penitentiary.

When he walked two years ago, his only belongings were a set of new clothes and $100.

For the last eight months, the two men have traveled with another man and a woman, sharing food and shelter when they could find it. They wear their possessions.

"We go to bed hungry and we go to bed cold,'' Bob says. "The shelters get too full, so we usually look for an empty house."

Some days, the only food they eat is what they pick up at St. Elizabeth's.

"A doctor told me I had an ulcer," Bob says. "I told him he would too if all

he had to eat was bologna sandwiches." Employment is sporadic. The tem­

porary agencies hire their favorites, Bob and Jerry say, and available work is of ten in the suburbs, a dim prospect for workers without a car.

'Tm a trained barber and a welder," Jerry says, "but I've been in the pen, and nobody wants that."

The current aid system works against them, they say. The government has turned a blind eye to the problem, while the number of homeless grows. More young people walk the streets, more families, and more people wil­ling to work if given the chance.

. .. : ~ _-

not bitter "I have worked but I'm homeless

now," Bob syas. "It's the Republican administration. During the Democratic administration, I had a job."

Street life is violent, one of the rea­sons the four stick together. They draw a strength fro~ companionship, and Bob says they pray together each night.

Living on the street makes them angry.

"We have to remember not to be bitter," Bob says. "Angry, yes, but not bitter. People look down on us because we're dirty, but we don't want to b " e.

Sandwiches/from page 1 --

Kathy Smid (left) and Gerry Magnie crank out sandwiches

for tuition, but was unable to pay for books. A member of St. Elizabeth's paid for the books.

Maloney says the number of poor and homeless in Colorado is growing as a backlash to the state's floundering economy. According to a report pub­lished by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Denver's homeless increased 25 percent last year. City agencies have claimed 1,500 people in Denver are homeless, but the shelters and social service organizations claim 3,000 is a more accurate figure.

Because of the poor economy and high rents in Denver, the person on the street and hungry doesn't always fit the nation's stereotype of the homeless and poor.

"We're seeing more couples, more families and more chronically ill,'' Maloney says. "These people are not down and out, drunk in the bushes."

Often, the people that St. Elizabeth's helps are between jobs or work only for minimum wage. They may have money for rent but not for food.

Men still outnumber women on the streets, Maloney says, because women are often single parents and qualify for Aid to Dependent Children. Most of the people who use the sandwich line are men because a daytime women's shelter operates nearby on Santa Fe Drive.

Sandwich lines, soup kitchens and emer11;ency food banks are helpful, but they provide inadequate nutri­tion and are mere band aids on the wound of poverty, says Maryann Gleason, director of the Stout Street Clinic, a project of the Colorado Coali­tion for the Homeless .

...

"Food lines are wonderful, but it's difficult for people to get the food they need just to have the strength to be homeless," Gleason said.

People on the street must keep mov­ing. The weather can kill and shelters are often full. Individuals with special dietary needs or who are physically disabled or sick are especially vul­nerable.

Gleason recently assisted a diabetic. woman staying in a shelter who re­ceived only a sweet roll and coffee for breakfast.

"A sweet roll for breakfast just does not cut it," Gleason says.

Because some street people have become so debilitated, Gleason says prenatal vitamins are now passed out in certain sandwich lines.

Maloney says the publicity and attention directed toward the home­less and poor is making a difference in society's perceptions and actions. Citi­zens are becoming involved, but the right to shelter and food is a matter of justice, not charity.

"Charity gives something to some­one, even if they don't deserve it," she says. "Justice is what people deserve. Everyone has the right to be housed and fed.

"People are willing to do more now, but the problem is systemic. Like cancer, you treat the people, but you need to research the cure." D

St. Elizabeth's Church is looking for volunteers to assist in the food pro­gram for a few hours Mon day and Thursday mornings. Please call 534-4014 if you are interested.

I'd probably vote yes on it.

Mike Pound, Junior, MSC, Journalism

Probably yes. It's a good idea.

Bridgette Cassidy~ Freshman, MSC, Political Science

No. I feel there's too much emphasis on basketball. There should be just as much emphasis on the other sports.

(Q) (U] lr ~ o ® \YAYl

Let's think about growth, future When you vote next week on the PE building expansion,

remember those who will be paying for it - the students of tomorrow.

They would like us to remember that the "$3 million" project will carry an $8 million bill after interest is added.

Most of us who will vote will carry little of that burden because we'll be gone - some of us before the remodel­ing is ever finished.

And those who pay for the expansion they never approved, may find a situation much like we have found with the Student Center. They could be paying for some­thing that is not longer sufficient.

Nobody expected Auraria to catch on like it has. Every­thing is a little crowded here.

But with increased popularity of on-campus activities, it's unlikely that adding a few raquetball courts and a weightroom will meet the needs of the next generation. Like the Student Center, the Rec Building may be just as crowded in a few years and the bills will keep coming.

When it comes time to find even more room for Iaquetball courts or whatever, the problem will still be space.

Auraria is already the most crowded campus in the state.

Space is the only reason that Metro's 1990 goal of Div­ision I athletics is relevant.

When the Colorado Commission on Higher Education decided to let the students vote on the expansion, the debate centered around athletics.

Some of the commissioners know of Metro's Division I goal and a few more have heard the rumour that UCD

wants to get into athletics. The future athletic growth must be addressed now. Auraria is cramped. Why not look three years ahead before we start

building. The CCHE decided that if Metro does go to Division I,

they will not be allowed to play in the new building. Everyone knows that. So what will they do?

Metro has every right to participate ill any level of athletics that their governing board allows and the cam­pus - AHEC - must act as the landlord and help find a place for players to play - somewhere. The new build­ing will be off-limits. Another facility will have to found.

Will it be built? There is no room on this campus for two events centers.

Will we expand again? Will Metro have to pay steep rent at the Coliseum? Can Sidney Schlenker open McNichols for us?

And isn't it likely that the new-and-improved rec build­ing will be crowded again?

It would make a lot of sense - looking three years down the road - to put Metro, UCD and whoever else wants to get into athletics into a new athletics facility.

The rec building would be just a rec building and the atheletes would have their own place.

But where can we put more' buildings? On a parking lot is usually the answer. Boy, that works

great. Why buy a Montgomery Wards sofa on your credit

card when you know you'll be making real money at a real job real soon?

If a house and a matching set of furniture is in your sights, why not put up with the sofa for now?

Plan for the future and apologize for the tattered sofa. With $5 million worth of interest riding on this expan­

sion, only thoughtful growth is acceptable. Overcrowd­ing is uncomfortable but overspending drives the cost of "affordable education" up piece-by-piece.

Note the cost of attending Metro over the last few years. Ten bucks here and five bucks there adds up. Take away the "affordable education tag" and is Metro still that great of a place?

If campus life needs improvement, let's do it right. Perhaps instead of the proposed $10 (AHEC decided that

. Team gives OK by Karen Reid

After visiting MSC, a team from North Central Association recom­mended that Metro's accreditation continue without condition for 10 years, according to a memo issued by the President's Office

Tobin Barro~o, vice president of academic affairs, said the North Cen­tral Accreditation team re-accredits colleges on three levels.

"The first is five years with focus visits. The next is 10 years with focus visits. The purpose of these visits is so · the NCA can determine if the college is following the recommendations made," he said. The final category is 10 years without conditions, That's what they're recommending for MSC. It's the best . you can get."

The team listed several strengths, concerns and • advisories that capture the gist of the team's findings,· though a ' final report will provide a more com­plete context

The following is a partial list of ~trengths identified by the team:

• . MSC recognizes and fulfills its urban mission by taking ap­propriate advantage of the resources of its environment, and in turn, provides services to the community.

• The college remains strongly committed to accessibility and flexibility.

• The phone-in, automated regis­tration system is a model for all colleges and universities.

• The students reflect a positive attitude toward the institution.

Among the concerns listed by the team:

• Little stability in the office of the president.

• Underfunding that was a con­cern 10 years ago is a concern today. .. +• A perceived reduction in efforts to recruit and hire minorities and women.

• Pay, workload and accessibility to students of part-time_ faculty.

The team offered a few advisories. Among them:

• Student services vacancies should be filled.

• A need exists to improve com­munications between Student Affairs and students.

• An effort should be made to expand the student emergency loan.fund. .

• A permanent staff needs to be located at off-campus sites. D

Four four-wheelers broken • into on caIDpus

For the second consecutive week, two Jeeps were broken into on campus lots, according to Lolly Ferguson, tech­nical services manager of Auraria Pub­lic Safety.

The break-ins, both Jeep Cherokees, followed similiar burglaries of two Jeep Wagoneers last week. Radios were stolen from three of the four vehicles.

"There must be a market for that type of radio." Ferguson said.

Access to the Jeeps was gained through the side wing-vents, which

creates less noise and less broken glass, she said.

"I have no ·doubt it was done very quickly."

The Jeeps were parked in lots I and K, and the thefts occurred between noon and 5 p.m. A similar pattern of Jeep break-ins occurred about a year ago.

Usually the thieves will work in . teams that include a lookout or spotter to make the process easier. There is a marketplace for these items because of their difficult recoverability, Ferguson ~d. 0

Writer on the ro~ by Jiii Ranaudo

He looked like the boy next door­clean shaven, short blond hair, big blue eyes, a toothy grin and fashionably dressed in a gray sweater vest and new Levi's 50ls.

Yet, the first words out of his mouth as a guest speaker last month in Charles Angeletti's Voices from the American Road history class were: "Boy, I've hung out with some weird people."

Twenty-nine-year-old Ted Conover spent six months traveling the road with hoboes, living their transient way of life, then returned to Denver, where he grew up, to write his first book, Rolling Nowhere, about his experi­ences.

"I never dreamed I'd be able to write a book," the journalist said. He attended Amherst College in Spring­field, Mass., until he felt he didn't know much about life and wasn't learning about it in the textbooks, so he hit the road.

• "My motivation was a combination of my romantic desire to ride the freights and social conscience," he said.

Before he joined the hoboes, he spent six months growing his hair and his beard and finding second-hand clothes and gear to take with him.

He also took a journal, in which he kept a detailed account of his expe­riences, but he could only write in it when the other hoboes weren't around, so they wouldn't suspect anything, he said.

Dressing like them and acting like them allowed him to be one of them, yet remain detached enough to write about the hoboes.

"We shared the same campfire," Conover remembered, "but not the same circumstances. There was no despair inside of me."

Hoboes are a notch above the trash­digging homeless, he said. They take pride in their ability to leave when things get too rough.

..

To them, Conover said, the road is opportunistic. Hoboes expect to find .r

CoPIRG tries again wit~ by Shelly Barr

CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) is working to estab­lish a MSC chapter, though it clings to a funding system which may have con­tributed to the organization's defeat on campus last year.

Although CoPIRG lost by only 71 votes in 1986, its drive for a $3 waiva­ble fee caused opponents to accuse the group of employing "subversive meth­ods" in collecting campus funds .

The waivable fee, termed the "nega­tive check-off" system by a former student government member, and "ultra-democratic" by CoPIRG com­mittee members, is collected upon a student's failure to mark a box on their registration form as opposed to mark­ing a box to show support.

The controversy lies within the idea that a student may not see the box while filling out the form, may leave it blank and consequently, commit $3 unknowingly.

With the newly established telephone registration system at MSC, the ques­tion will appear on the class printout or a similar form. Details of the system are not yet in place, according to CoPIRG committee members.

In any case, the system is considered unfair by MSC's Campus Republicans, according to the group's president, Brad Livingston.

CoPIRG's proposed funding system would be unfair, Livingston said, because thousands of students would forget to check the box.

"They (CoPIRG) would be funded by people who didn't make a con- \ scious decision to support them. In that respect, it's underhanded," Livingston said. And "They know that."

But the spokesman for MSC's CoPIRG organizing committee, Ken Smith, said the group is working hard to avoid preying on student apathy.

"That's why we've been tabling (in the Student Center) for the past five weeks," Smith said. "So people know."

Smith said that in addition to the

Roadrunners finish w-ith w-inning record

-L

by Robert Ritter

The Metro State men's basket­ball team ended their most suc­cessful season on a sour note, los­ing their last four games, including three straight conference losses.

The Roadrunners dropped two road games to conference oppo­nents that took them out of the race for the Great Northwest Conf ~rence title.

A 77-67 loss to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks was followed by an 83-72 defeat at the hands of the University of Alaska-Anc­horage.

Then last Thursday, Metro suf­fered their second loss of the sea­son to Denver University.

They led by four with a little over four minutes to go in the game. But after a technical foul on Shefrie Staples for hang~ng on the rim, the Pioneers went on a 12-1 run that led to an 80-70 win.

Saturday, the Roadrunners fin­ished their season by losing to Eastern Montana 80-57, the only blowout they suffered all year, according to head coach Bob Hull.

"We got pasted at Eastern Montana," Hull said. "But it gave the guys a message about how far we have to go to be conference champions."

Metro finished 16-12 overall and 5-5 in the conference for a third-place tie with the Univer­sity of Puget Sound.

Still, Hull, who guided the team to a 13-13 record last year, said he feels good about the teams's

accomplishments. "We had high expectations, but

to finish third in the league is commendable. To knock off the number one team is Division II (Alaska-Anchorage) was remar­kable," he said. "To be 16-12 is another step forw~d."

Metro will lose senior guard Thomas Murphy, this year's lead­ing scorer with 14.6 points per game. Also gone will be third­year forwards Craig Emery and Fred Burgess.

"It'll be hard to replace Tho­mas Murphy, but the nucleus of our team will be back," he said.

Center Rich Grosz, who led the team with 9.3 rebounds a game, and forwards Shefrie Sta­ples and Shun Tillman, who shared staring duty at power forward, will be back.

Also returning will David Weatherall and Chris Roper, who . stepped in to replace starters Herb Darden and Kurt Robinson after they were cut from the team with eight games left in the season.

Hull said he will hit the full­time recruiting trail, concentrat­ing on Colorado and Illinois, where he still has contacts from his days as an assistant basketball coach at the University of Illinois.

For next season, Hull said the Roadrunners can be one of the better teams in the league.

"I think we'll be picked as one of the best teams in the league, especially because we bring back our whole front line. Next year, the guys will know what they are in for."

Expansion 'crisis politics'

Last week, the chairman of Physical Education and Recreation rightfully pointed out that his department doesn't receive student-fee funding. Dr. Rabinoff cited my February 13 editorial, which included the statement that his department benefitted from an investment that provided Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recreation with a huge revenue increase. Rabinoff apparently expects students to believe that his department never received any benefit from the expansion of these programs.

From a chronological standpoint, it's interesting how quickly the residents in the PER building were able to rally administrative sup­port for the expansion proposal agreement. It was no coincidence that last June was a very busy month for the artful dodger, Paul Magelli, and his athletic interest constituency. The ink was barely dry on the finalized approval to increase fees, when a formal negotiation agreement was reached by Auraria executives to submit the expan­sion proposal to the CCHE. In fact, informal negotiations for the expansion were in the works during the fall semester of 1985. Refer­endum questions pertaining to the fee increase and building expan­sion must have seemed like a mere formality at that point.

Now students are expected to deal with an alleged crisis of over­crowding in the PER building. Since the expansion proposal was conceived during the same fiscal year as the increase recommenda­tion, a more appropriate definition would be 'crisis politics.' Intercol­legiate Athletics has turned crisis politics into a fine art, by using a deficit spending stratagem. The annual shortfall in program expendi­tures is deliberately created to satisfy expansionist ambitions.

A narrow scope of motivated special interests guide the permeat­ing force of administrative influence at Metro. This should become apparent by tracing the key pressure points within the power struc­ture, where political leverage is applied. Dr. Rabinoff exclaimed in his editorial that, " ... the PER Department has nothing to do with athletics." It should be noted that his department has maintained solid representation for fee allocations on the Student Affairs Board. The extent of this department's lobbying efforts to consolidate broad­based administrative support is overwhelming.

The PER Department definitely has a vested interest in backing program growth for Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recrea­tion. The market strategy is based on the projected potential for curriculum growth that's facilitated through recruitment opportuni­ties. Monetary gains can certainly be obtained by simply inverting the principle of supply and demand.

Editor,

Kurt Woodard Alumnus

Vote for growth

You will be asked to vote on the expansion of the physical educa­tion building (PEHR}, which also houses the Campus Recreation program, on March 10, 11 and 12.

1The reason you will be asked is

because you will be the people funding the expansion. This will cost the students at each of the three schools $10 a semester, at least for the first year, and could cost more in future years.

WHY: When Auraria was designed, it was to house three schools, but was built to handle only 20,000 students. It was too good an idea, and now we have about 28,000 students this year, but, we have had in past years as many as 31,000.

All of you may have seen what is to be the new East Classroom building going up just east of the PEHR building.

This is also projected to increase the amount of use UCD students currently hav.e on the PEHR building. The current Campus Recrea­tion program for all three schools was never a part of the plan for the PEHR building. Yet, as we have become more physically active, and with the rise in team sports at Metro and UCD thinking of starting their own sports program, the building is full .

We need a place to grow and expand. HOW: The state does not have the money it takes to build. It took

about eight years to get the new East Classroom building funded. The question was not the need for a new building, just who or what would pay for it. The state has never funded what is considered student space (the Student Center, parking}, we pay for this with bond fees.

That is why we are asked to fund this. SO: When the campus was first built, bonds were sold to build the

Student Center and the current parking. While we all may have ideas as to what we feel could or should be done, some one had the forethought to provide what little there is. Now you have a chance to do the same for future students.

By saying NO you will stop any type of growth, and any future plans.

A YES vote will cost, but it will also show the state that we are concerned for the future, and willing to pay for it.

JUST SAY YES! Brendan M. Kelly

After reading "Letters" in your February 27 issue, I wonder, do Metro students all have chips on their shoulders? William Anderson is mad at Metropolitan staff members for their "muddled efforts at investiga­tive reporting," and lack of "journalistic integri,ty." Julius Greene takes on President Magelli for daring to call Metro students "kids." (Really now). Donna Towler and Stephanie Matschkl jump on the editor for the pic­ture of Ralph, the pit bull, in your Feb. 13 issue.

and made him all the more scary: "Everyone's favorite Valentine," who has "a noted penchant for kitty-cats and children's fingers."

~ CAN YOU

BACK THAT UP?

Personally, I liked the picture of Ralph. Your wry caption helped me to see him through children's eyes,

More scary than Ralph, however, is the letter from Donna and Stephanie, calling the editor into account for daring "to make light of dogs that kill little child­ren," and hinting at dire retribution.

Judging by their letter, Donna and Stephanie are more "insensitive" than the editor, and even meaner and more humorless than Ralph, the pit bull.

Quick, everybody! Lock up your children! Sincerely,

Irving Heyer

Handwriting analysis: mind search or quack flattery? •

by Paul Oser

Last semester, Denver psychic Marie Morris came to campus to analyze stu­denf s handwriting samples, which she said reveals personality traits. The subconscious manifests itself in a per­son's penmanship, she said.

"Handwriting is brain-writing," Morris said in a recent interView, "So much can be revealed about a person through graphoanalysis."

But Dr. Edward Karnes, chair of the psychology department at Metro, dis­agrees. His research, he said, disproves the claim that an accurate personality statement can be assessed from study­ing a person's handwriting.

To evaluate the accuracy of grapho­analysis, Karnes asked nine Metro administrators for sample handwriting.

After a graphoanaJyst developed

"Handwriting is brain-. writing. So much can be revealed about a person through grapho­analysis." Marie Morris

personality profiles for each, Karnes, who coded the profiles, returned all nine profiles to each administrator, and asked each to identify his or her profile from the set of nine.

Results: The administrators were unable to exceed chance expectations in picking out their own profile.

Marie Morris

This experiment, Karnes said, proves that the graphoanalyst's profiles were inaccurate in depicting each adminis­trator's personality.

Karnes followed the experiment by giving each administrator a psycho­metric test - a computer-scored test psychologists use to determine per­sonalities for statistical data.

When all the tests were returned to the administrators, the administators were able to exceed the same chance expectations.

This follow-up proves that accurate psychoanalysis is possible and achiev­a b I e through psychometrics .

Karnes, therefore, rejects the valid­ity of graphoanalysis.

Well, Marie Morris, any comments? "No, he's wrong. In fact, there are

European doctors who are required to study graphology. They can detect things like cancer and other sicknesses."

are led to believe that the overall pro­file was made specifically for them.

These personality descriptions, which include· statements that are ambiguous, flattering, or true of all people, are the very magnets.of credi­bility that "suckers" cling to - pro­vided the profiles are personalized.

For example, Morris said, people who press down firmly when writing, are strong-willed people who are more bothered by noise and eat more meat than someone who presses down lightly?

Or, an extreme slantedness in pen­manship means a person doesn't live alone well and a verticality indicates a logical personality.

To discover the influence of the Barnum Effect in graphoanalytic pro­files, Karnes conducted an experiment ~ with MSC students.

Many people do pay for grapho­analytical information. Companies

In this experiment students were told that a personalized personality profile would be developed for them based on a handwriting sample. How­ever, unbeknownst to the students,

"As P. T. Barnum puts it, 'There's a sucker born every minute,' but I think there's one born every nanominute.

Dr. Edward Karnes

even hire graphoanalysts to help eval­uate the personalities of prospective employees.

But if graphoanalysis is mere quack­ery according to Karnes, what is the basis for its success?

their handwriting samples were not evaluated. Instead, the -students were given one of the nine administrators' profiles used in the earlier study and asked to evaluate its accuracy on a seven point scale.

Results? "As P.T. Barnum puts it, 'There's a sucker born every minute,' " Karnes said, "But I think there's one born every nanominute."

The mean rating was around six. All students thought that the results were exceptionally accurate.

Karnes attributed today's credibility in graphoanalysis to the P.T. Barnum Effect.

It appears then, that the spirit of P. T. Barnum is alive and well not only in the general population of Colorado but

The Barnum Effect explains how people attach great validity to general­ized personality descriptions if they
