Business office behind in pa yin en ts by Lisa Arndt

The MSC Business Office is behind in paying creditors, and a lot of people are unhappy about it.

Business Office officials said a new computer system is to blame.

''I've just thrown my hands up in the air and given up," said John Schna­thorst, of Colorado National Leasing. 'Tm getting a little bit disgusted."

Metro leases typesetting equipment for student publications from Colo­rado National Leasing. Schnathorst said the January payment on the equip­mentwas past due Feb. I, and the Feb­ruary bill was past due March 2.

"I really think they're capable of processing an invoice and gett~ng a

account," she said. "We've received quite a few checks from them lately. I think we'll open it soon."

Furthermore, student clubs and acti­vities are forced to postpone events and activities or finance them them­selves because they were unaware of the time required for check process­ing, Barry Fisch, chair of the Club Affairs Committee, said.

"Chances are faculty advisors have to fund the activity," he said.

Fisch said he has noticed a differ­ence in the creditors he deals with.

"Creditors don't like to deal with us," he said. "They hold out for some one who's going to pay them."

James Vanderhye, associate vice president of Business and Finance said

"I really think they' re capable of processing an invoice and getting a check out in 30 days. If students didn't pay tuition they wouldn't be serious students any longer."

check out in 30 days," Schnathorst said. "If students didn't pay tuition, they sure wouldn't be students very long."

Schnathorst said most state agencies take longer to pay than other creditors, but Metro has taken longer than most state agencies.

"Maybe Metropolitan State College will be the first municipality that we do a repossession on," Schnathorst said. "The people in the Business Office don't think we're serious. This is ridicu­lous. They don't care. They totally take advantage of creditors."

Schnathorst said the Business Office fails to return his phone calls and when he calls, he gets a lot of excuses.

"They've used just about every excuse except 'the governor has got to look at this invoice and approve it."' he said.

The excuse that bothers him most, he said, is that the Business Office is too busy to pay him.

"That's the weakest excuse since 'the check is in the mail,"' he said.

Other campus organizations with creditor problems include the produc­ers of the alumni magazine and MSC student government.

American Web Offset refused to print Metropolitan Magazine for a week while it awaited payment for printing the previous issue.

· "That's our policy," said Sue John­son, of accounts receivable. "We won't go ahead with the next issue until the previous issue is paid."

Johnson said MSC was billed Dec. 9, the payment was past due Jan. 9, and was finally received March 2.

Also, Kinko's, at Eighth and Colfax streets, closed Metro's student govern­ment account.

"We've not been paid," said Linda Cooper, of accounts receivable.

- creditor

most of the creditors are understanding. "We sent a letter out explaining our

difficulty. People understand once we talk to them," he said. "No one has cut off our credit. We're not on a cash basis with any of our creditors. None of our checks have bounced."

Vanderhye said the Business is cur­rently operating about four weeks behind.

David McDermott, controller, said

the Business Office switched from a manual accounting system to a compu­terized one to increase efficiency, but the opposite resulted.

"This will be a better system for the college as a whole and will be more timely, but it does require more work to pay each vendor - about 50 percent more," he said.

The software package, from Infor-

When the office takes an excessive amount of time to pay a bill, it is usu­ally due to a creditor's error, McDer­mott said.

"Usually there's some kind of dis­crepancy or legitimate mistake, like being directed to the wrong place at the college," he said. "If we don't have the invoice, we can't pay the bill.''

Many of the late bills, McDermott

Several bugs were found in the pro­gram, resulting in days when the com­puter is unusable. (The day The Met­ropolitan interviewed McDermott was one of those days.)

In addition, McDermott said, the office is short-staffed.

"There's always a problem with the level of staff," he said. "(A computer system) doesn't reduce your staff needs at all. If anything, it increases it."

McDermott said Colorado National Leasing was paid, and only one "rela­tively small vendor" squelched Met­ro's credit.

said, are old biHs. "Occasionally, vendors don't fill out

the right form or don't sign it. Of course, that does delay payment," he said.

McDermott said his staff is working overtime to get back on the normal schedule of one week to ten days to issue a check. He said he is unsure of how much it will cost the school in overtime.

"I don't anticipate that it will be an enormous amount," he said, though, "I would guess with the volume we're dealing with, It'll be another month before we're caught up.

"It takes a while to get behind, and it takes a while to get caught up." D

'AIDS discussed. in campus workshop by Su Wright

For every person diagnosed with AIDS there are at least 100 more peo­ple infected who don't know it, Peter Ralin, AIDS specialist for Denver Pub­lic Health Department, told students and faculty at a workshop on campus last week.

There are 31,000 AIDS cases in the United States. By 1991, 270,000 cases are projected to be found in the Uni­ted States, Ralin said.

"That (31,000) is a conservative fig­ure and only includes the people

already infected; it does not account for any new infections," Ralin said.

"And, approximately one percent of those cases are projected for · Colo· rado," he said.

But, Ralin said, there are two epi­demics associated with AIDS.

"One is the sexual disease and two is the hysteria," he said.

The disease is truly unique because of the unanswered questions.

"We know it is a blood-borne dis­ease and the only ways to get it are sexual and needles," Ralin said

The disease is similar to herpes

because it isn't known when a person will be infectious, Ralin said.

"A person is not always infectious but the disease is there forever and reproducing," he said.

Ralin said it is impossible that all those infected with the virus will get the disease.

"We just don't know and we don't know how long it will take the immune system to succumb," he said.

AIDS is shorthand for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Pepple with AIDS suffer from unusual, life­threatening infections and/ or rare forms of cancer because the syndrome causes a breakdown of the body's immune system. The body is then sus­ceptible to these diseases.

The virus is also thought to cause a milder illness called AIDS-Related Complex (ARC). ARC manifests itself with symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes, chronic fatigue, fever, weight loss and night sweats. Few people with ARC have come down with AIDS.

The virus is extremely fragile and does not survive outside body cells.

"It is an easy virus to get rid of," Ralin said. "Common bleach will des­troy it."

The first identifiable cases of AIDS were recognized in 1981. Physicians began to see more and more cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (a skin cancer) and

Pneumocystis carniiy (a parasitic pneumonia) in groups not normally associated with those diseases.

Those two illnesses were rare and had previously occurred only in organ transplant cases.

In the U.S., 73 percent of the AIDS cases are found among gay/bisexual men; 17 percent are found among intravenous drug abusers.

Transfusion patients, hemophiliacs and heterosexual contacts make up 2 percent each, and 4 percent are found in heterosexuals who appear to have no contact with any of the other risk groups.

Tom Holman of MSC's counseling center said he is seeing an increase in the fear of AIDS and an increase in the number of people expressing that fear.

"It's a fear of the future," Holman said. "We have a disease where sex and death are intimately related."

We will face some kind of public hysteria before this disease is under control, he said.

"But," he said, "90 percent of the fear is involved in ignorance of the disease."

Billi Mavromatis and Marilyn Hel­burg, co-directors of MSC's student health center, said they get numerous inquires for information on AIDS.

Opponents charge elitism

MSC developing Honors Program to begin next fall by Debra Schluter

An honors program aimed at pro­viding a more intense, enriched cur­riculum to highly motivated students is being developed at MSC, and although the program has met with support from the college faculty and administration, opponents call it every­thing from unnecessary to elitist.

Alain D. Ranwez, the director of the honors program, presented the still­evolving plan to the departmental chairs of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences during a weekly council meeting last month and plans to i:neet with the other two schools within the next few weeks.

The seemingly premature presenta­tion of an incomplete program is necessary, Ranwez said, in order to make the faculty aware of the' impor­tant role they have in the development and success of an honors program at MSC. _

The honors program will offer an alternative path towards an MSC bachelor's degree. The program will encourage individual performance and challenge students to strive for the· highest level of excellence of which they are capable, Ranwez said. It will also require students to assume more responsibility for their education.

"That's not saying that MSC doesn't off er quality classes," Ranwez said. "It's telling students that they must

commit more time, more energy to their studies, sooner. It's intensity -not a question of quality versus ordinary."

The envisioned smaller classes -probably 5 to 20 students - will involve more analysis, writing and detailed study, Ranwez said. Class format will emphasize individualized assignments and open-ended discus­sion and debate.

The goal of the honors program, he said, is to establish an environment that encourages students' aspirations and through which they may become disciplined seekers of knowledge.

One of the heaviest responsibilities of the honors _program will be to pro­cure the funds needed to secure release time for faculty to develop and teach the honors courses, Ranwez said.

Some of the money needed to launch the program came from MSC' s pro- . fessional and curriculum development fund, Ranwez said, and many teachers volunteered their time to help the pro­gram get off the ground.

Proper funding would also enable the program to protect small classes from being cut, and allow release time for teachers to work closely with stu­dents as mentors, Ranwez said.

A program proposal requesting a $154,000 grant has been submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, but competition for federal funding is fierce and Ranwez described the

appeal as "a long shot." The program, which is expected to

take nearly four years to fully develop, will officially begin with at least one, possibly two, core courses being offered in September.

"The biggest word is flexibility," Ranwez said. "If we do not remain flexible, we limit ourselves right away. We are starting small, in one area, and will build over four years."

About 30 students are expected to enroll in the honors program this fall, Ranwe?: said, and the students will have several options, or possible courses of study.

A core curriculum of lower division interdisciplinary courses is being designed by MSC faculty under the guidance of the Honors Council, but

A Senior Honors Certificate would be awarded after completion of twelve hours of honors courses-and a Senior Thesis or Senior Experience·.

The Thesis/Experience would serve as a synthesis of the student's under­graduate studies and could entail put­ting together a public performance, working on an internship or actually writing a thesis, Ranwez said.

An MSC Honors- Diploma will be awarded to those students who suc­cessfully complete the requirements for the Junior Certificate, the Senior Thesis or Experience, plus an addi­tional nine hours of honors courses.

The lower division core courses will be interdisciplinary two-semester sequences, team taught by MSc;; pro-

fessors fro1p different academic departments. These courses will be open only to those students who are officially enrolled in the program, Ranwez said.

Successful completion of twelve semester hours of lower division core courses will earn students a Junior ~onors Certificate, Ranwez said.

Upper division courses, however, will be open to all interested students, although honors students would prob­ably be allowed to pre-register.

March 13, 1987 -The Metropolitan

'Roadrunner' fight song already1written by Robert Ritter recorded such hits as 'Tm a Man,"

"You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover," and "Bo Diddley." One member of Metro's faculty

thinks a Bo Diddley tune, which in­cludes such lines as 'Tm a roadrunner, honey, and you can't keep up with me," would serve better as a school fight song than what composer Marvin

"It's a heavy song. l think it says something. lt means you can't out-do me. I'm the baddest on the road. l think it would fit the fight song perfectly."

He said he sat down and wrote the song one day in 1959 and that it defi­nitely has meaning.

"It's a heavy song. I think it says something. It means you can't out-do me. I'm the baddest. on the road. I think it would fit the fight song per­fectly," he said.

Hamlisch will write. Rodger Lang, an art professor at

Metro since 1970, said he thinks Did-

Bo Diddley

dley' s Road Runner would be the' perfect school song for an institution like Metro.

Road Runner Diddley also said he has heard of

Metro.

rm a roadrunner, honey .... "It's a brash, upstart sort of song, like

the (basketball) team and the school," Lang said. "Sometimes people think of this school as brash."

The song Hamlisch will unveil in two weeks may be just an alma mater­type song, Lang said.

rm a roadrunner, honey, and you can't keep up wi.th me rm a roadrunner, honey, and you can't keep up with me C'mon let's race ... baby, baby you will see

"Sure L've heard of Metro. I knew there was a college out there in Den­ver," Diddley said.

MSC President Paul Magelli said he ' listened to a copy of the song Lang sent to him, but was unfamiliar with it.

Move over honey, let me by Move over baby, let this man by .

''I've never heard of it. I thought it was kind of a cute song, but I knew we had a song coming, so I didn't pay much attention to it," Magelli said. 'TU have to listen to it again."

"A school song isn't really a fight song. rd be Surpris~ if Marvin wrote a song that would suit both purposes (as alma mater and fight song). You need something that you can interact with in the arena," he said. "It (Road Runner) has a couple of sequences where people can sing along."

rm gonna show you baby that I can hang Gonna put some dirt in your eye Take my hand baby rm gonna prove to you that rm roadrunning man

He added that he thinks the song Hamlisch is writing may haye two parts and that one of the parts will include a "rouser."

I wanna show you something, that rm the fastest in the land Now, let me by Lang said he is a supporter of the

basketball team, which he said is good for the school, and the song would be a great way to rally fans around the team. "It (Road Runnerf lias a mce energy. It wouldn't be good to sing at graduation. But it would be nice going into l,U)Other season to have a fight song. It's a real spirit-builder," he said.

Bo Diddley, in a telephone inter­view, said he thinks it would be great to have Road Runner named the Metro State fight song.

"Sure, I'd love it. I'd be very proud to have it done like that," Diddley said.

Diddley, 59, was a force on the rhythm and blues and pop charts dur-ing the late '50s and early '60s. He

What they tend to forget to say is that if a student doesn't check a box on his registration to cancel the $3 fee, the student is assumed to support CoPIRG.

When was the last time you checked a box when registering for classes?

I haven't touched a piece of paper other than a check to attend Metro since I got a push-button phone. Who are these people who claim to be so

·honest within the political cesspool? - CoPIRG takes credit for the passage of a bunch of popular state bills: The lemon law, clean water and renter's protection bills pop up on PIRC flyers. Mighty respectable.

So why do they show up at Auraria every March or A-pril?

Cash. What do we all need? Hmm. Parking ... No silly.

Money. And what's the best kind of money to get? Student

fees! It would be stealing if it weren't legal. A handful of

people show up to prove they're "involved" - to prove they're not apathetic. They represent the stu­dents. They represent everybody. They trust enough to vote yes.

We've got enough people hovering over the student fee pile as it is. People are digging into our pockets for a lot better reasons than funding a political action group that will benefit CoPIRG chapters across the state.

We've got buildings and (let's pray) garages to build. We (Metro students) face a mandatory $5 increase to help our Roadrunners find that "winning season" they've been looking for.

And nobody is more aware of our situation than CoPIRGers. They're slick.

If you hear somebody talking about CoPIRG, ask a lot of questions.

They'll leave. -RMD

Auraria an oasis of uniqueness and learning With so many negative aspects of the three schools at Aura­

ria presented larger than life in the newspapers, it is important to remember that good things happen here every day.

Things that go beyond student government, beyond the administration and beyond the numerous student clubs and activities. People are learning here, and are getting help from some really dedicated faculty members.

Crossing Speer Boulevard last week, enroute from the East Classroom, a woman was trying to explain to her professor why she had done poorly on a calculus or statistics (or some sort of torturous mathematics) exam. She said she just couldn't grasp one of the concepts.

He pulled _out a mechanical pencil and gave her a mini­lecture as they waited for the "Don't Walk" sign to change. Before they reached the other side of the street, she said, "I think I understand it now." Anyone in the same herd crossing the street could tell by her face that she really did understand.

Then he got angry. "Why didn't you come and talk to me before the exam," he asked. "You know my office hours. If you don't have time then, we can set up an appointment. If you still don't have time, you can call me anytime at home until two in the morning."

Try getting that kind of help from a TA at CU or CSU. -LLA

City's growth requires balance and planning by Christopher Dahle

Denver needs a new airport like it needs a new shipyard.

A growing economy and growth in general is a healthy thing in our capital­ist society. Our new governor, Denver's mayor, the current legislature and other leaders are right on target when they include attracting new industry to the state among their goals for Colorado's future.

But what industries are appropriate for inclusion in Colorado's economy?

Denver could become a beehive of military industrial activity. Building a new shipyard would allow us to tap into the billions of dollars being spent on defense and related high tech indus­tries. A couple of aircraft carriers based at Buckley Naval Air Station or Chat­field would pump millions into the local economy. I envision smokestacks churning out dollars, harried commu­ters crawling down crowded freeways to high-paying jobs, landlords raking in rent dollars for multi-family two bedroom bungalows, a revitalized

mobile home industry racing to meet a three-year backlog in housing demand. More carbon monoxide, more water projects, more roads, more airports.

Slow down. Growth keeps us employed, it keeps

food on our tables, dollars in our pockets and roofs over our heads. Let's be careful though. Maybe a shipyard sounds great, but it clearly doesn't fit into our economy. As we encourage industrial development in the region and concern ourselves with earning a good living, we must assure that we attract development that is approp­riate for the area, and assure that the region remains a good place to live.

The United States is peppered with _cities that have endured growth and financial prosperity at the price of a decline in quality of life. San Jose, Cal. was once the larger of a collection of small agricultural towns in the Santa Clara Valley on the south end of San Francisco Bay.

San Jose is now the center of an

industrial quagmire called the Silicon Valley.

Progress can be a two-edged sword. The Valley has achieved a degree of prosperity, but compared to Denver it's a lousy place to live. Wages are high, but housing is scarce and expen­sive. Many single family homes have three or more families in residence. Despite the presence of many free­ways and an aggressive road construe- _ tion program, highway traffic is at a standstill from 6 to 10 a.m. and again from 3 to 7 p .m. An eight mile com­mute from San Jose to- High Tech's epicenter in Sunnyvale takes 45 min­utes. In a state known for its progres­sive government, the tap water is nearly unpalatable, and industrial contamina­tion of the water table is epidemic.

The social ills that are a result of the growth in the Silicon Valley could fill a book, but their enumeration is not my purpose. Nor is it my intent to con­demn growth in the Rocky Mountian Region.

I will say, however, that the failure of the residents of the Silicon Valley to anticipate and manage the growth in their region is a primary cause of the area's problems.

Their failure should be our lesson. Denver and the metro area have

seen much growth in the past 20 years, and our location, climate and proxim­ity to the great Rocky Mountain play­ground make us ripe for future development.

It is imperative that we examine the factors that make this a great place to live and keep them in place. The cost of carefully anticipated growth in air­ports, water projects, transit systems and pollution control efforts may seem high now, but they may be prohibi­tively expensive if not physically impossible in 20 years.

It is our responsibility as a commun­ity of enlightened and intelligent scho­lars to be active in planning the shape of our region in the next decade and the next millennium.

PAC brings greater advantages Editor,

John A. Ball's letter of Feb. 27, 1987 raises a number of important questions regarding the desirability of card catalog access to the library collection.

First, is access limited by the number of terminals available? Of course. As money is available, we continue to add terminals, but practically speaking, during very busy times, there will be a short wait, just as during very busy times there are waits for bound indexes and card catalog access, as not everyone needs a·separate volume or drawer.

Does this inconvenience warrant maintenance of duplicate access in the form of a card catalog? No. A card catalog is a very expensive labor-intensive ope.ration. When maintained at Auraria, it required four full-time filers plus another two positions engaged in various aspects of card production. That is six positions for its care and feeding which no longer exist.

Why get rid of the card catalog? With the advent of the automated catalog (PAC), card production stopped and the catalog was frozen in 1983. (Subject card filing was stopped in 1982.) The catalog was moved to the back of the building as a sort of secondary access in case the automated system failed. Down time has proven negligible and the card catalog became more and more out of date, thus providing an increasing disservice to students primarily interested in current materials. Hence it was removed.

Is the manual sifting through bibliographies and indexes the only sure method for achieving balance and clarity in research? This is clearly a matter of opinion and I appreciate Mr. Ball's unhappiness with his inability to visualize the intellec­tural search process on PAC. His fingers no longer meander through extensive subject hierarchies. We have traded, what for him is a mental treat, for an infinitely more powerful search capacity. He can now locate a name, a word or a combination of words each time it appears in each of 386,000 bibliographic records in this library or in an additional 1. 75 milli'on records in the other five CARL libraries. That is a lot of access I

But intellectual control is not really lost. PAC records have the same subject entries as card records. Visual access to these subjects, alternative subjects, and cross-references is provided in the Library of Congress Subject Headings, the "big red books" located near the PAC terminals. And there are still hundreds of bibliographies and indexes available for manual searches.

·I, too, agree with Barbara Tuchman, a card catalog offers a great advantage over the handwritten book catalog of the European monasteries. Likewise, the automated catalog offers advantages of even greater magnitude. This is the advantage that PAC brings to Auraria students.

Marilyn Mitchell, Assistant Director for

Collection & Automation, Auraria Library

Referendum coverage praised Editor,

This is just a note to express my appreciation to your office for the excellent coverage your paper gave to the proposed expansion of the Physical Education/ Recreation facility. It appears that many students are aware of the election coming up this week, and that is largely due to your efforts.

Thank you again for your hard work, and for the professionalism you demon­strated when I purchased the ad space from you.

Keep up the good work!!

Sincerely, John A. Buechner,

Racism at UCD? Editor,

Well Colorado I have tried. I tried much too long. So now it is time for me to ask a few questions. Why is it

that students in the UCD teacher certification program view black children as little black morons who only deserve to be hewers of wood and carriers of water?

Why is it that I - to the best of my knowledge the only black student in CU TED - must hear "there is the Nigger," when I come in the building?

What would I think if I were a parent with a student under the tutelage of these people?

What would I think if they were the instructor of my children? Lawrence Hardy,

Handicapped students sought for Campus Rec progran1

by Young Ml Lee

MSC Campus Recreation has a pro­gram especially designed for disabled Auraria students where they can par­ticipate in activities to break their busy schedules.

A 24-hour day of school, work and sleep for anyone, including the dis­abled student, can becom~ intolerable without recreational activities.

Through the program, disabled stu­dents can obtain relaxation and enjoy­ment by participating in swimming, weightlifting, racquetball, basketball and numerous outdoor activities.

The program is free, except for off­campus activities. · pick Feuerborn, director of Cam­pus Recreation and Michael Seaton, coordinator of the Campus Recreation Disabled Students Program put in time and effort to reach the disabled stu­dents on campus with surveys and flyers.

'.'Last semester, we contacted the students through the disabled-student mailing list, but that is not enough to reach 400-450 disabled students on the campus," Seaton said.

From the list, 270 surveys were sent out and 60 students responded with positive attitudes and enthusiasm for the program.

"'fhe students gave the initial lead and interest in the recreation program for disabled students," he said.

Feuerborn said campus recreation's obligation is to provide an outlet for disabled students.

"Our job is to provide activities and programs for everyone,'' he said. "It is our job, and we should do it."

Seaton said participation is low, no more than 12, but that is expected because disabled students, like other students, have limited time, and start­ing any kind of program takes time.

"We are not discouraged by the low

participation, we are just going with it," Feuerborn said. "It is low because this is the first year and students are waiting for it to thrive."

Seaton said notification of the dis­abled students is challenging and difficult.

"We don't have the complete disabled­student mailing list, it is not up-to­date,'' he said. "We need to put more effort and money into the program to increa!e the participation of the stu­dents.

Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement, Cheryl Norton of Physical Education and Recreation and Feuerborn asked for a $10,000 state grant.

"We are attempting to make the program more accessible for the dis­abled students. It needs some meat behind it," Feuerborn said.

A variety of problems are attached to the program, but the supporters are willing to fight _the obstacles.

One of the major problems, Seaton said, is the limited access to the swim­ming pool and weight-training facility by the disabled students.

Sparky Ulmer, a resource helper for the program and MSC student partici­pant, said disabled students workout to stay in good condition and to main­tain flexibility.

"We are rolling, but there are barri­ers for participants because of the number of attendants and transporta­tion," he said.

Nevertheless, upcoming activities planned include a Denver Nuggets game on March 15 and a Denver Sym­phony Orchestra concert, April 16.

"This program will definately con­tinue because of the students' desire for recreational opportunities," Seaton said.

For more information concerning the program or activities, contact Mike Seaton, PE Room 101, 556-3210. D

Wazee businessowners:

Students asked t~ by Karen B. Algeo

Wazee Street businessowners are asking Auraria students not to park in the lots that will be constructed behind their businesses as part of the Auraria Parkway project.

In a public hearing on the parkway last month, shop owners said that stu­dent parking has posed a problem for them for a number of years, and they are worried the problem will expand with the deletion of the metered park­ing in front of their businesses. . "We're allotted a few parking spaces

in front, and the parking is for our cus­tomers. The students, from time to time, do park there," Joe Epstein, of Capitol Hill Blueprinting, said. "Now, I think most of th~ complaint is that they're taking up free parking in back."

Design plans for the $6.5 million pro­ject call for the construciton of a six­lane parkway on what is now Wazee Street to provide access to Auraria and downtown Denver from Interstate 25. As part of the plan, traffic on Larimer and Lawrence streets through the campus will be discontinued.

City officials at the hearing said they

do not expect stuQe Wazee Street busin lem much longer.

"It won't be that dents to park back envision all the tta now, it'll all be out Bob Dorrob, chief d the project, said.

"We've got kind of a location, and we're talking to Tivoli about if they want to put any money in on it," Bob Kronewitter, architect for Auraria, said.

A possible location for the garage, according to Kronewitter, is the area bound by 7th and 8th streets and Law­rence and relocated-Wazee streets. Tivoli managers are still looking at Auraria's proposal and have not made a decision, Terry Willey, Tivoli's general manager, said.

Additional parking areas will also be developed on campus once Lawrence and Larimer streets are closed.

"Auraria's doing their part to pro­vide more on-sight parking to students, and therefore making it more desira­ble to park on-campus," Dorroh said during the hearing.

In addition to closing Lawrence and Larimer streets, bus routes to and from Auraria will be changed. Developers of the parkway are recommending that two RTD bus routes and the Tivoli Trolley remain on campus. The plan calls for the vehicles to travel west on Larimer and tum around at 10th Street to return to Speer Boulevard. 0

Here come the Irish

Annual debate Tuesday by Rose Duhaime

The battle lines are being drawn. MSC's debate team is stocking up

ammunition and making strategic plans for the St. Patrick's Day battle against the Irish team.

Over on the Emerald Isle, the Irish team has packed their Gaelic wit and their gift of gab to give the Metro team a good dose of Irish blarney.

"We think we have a competitive approach," third time MSC . debater Herman Wylie said. But he wouldn't elaborate on their strategy.

In a telephone interview, Irish debater Aidan Kane said be didn't want to divulge too many secrets either but expressed confidence in debating the American style of debate.

When doing battle in the British

Isles, debaters use the parHamentary style of debate which allows interrup­tions. But on American turf, debaters use the cross-examination style, which allows no interruptions.

Kane said when American teams come to Ireland, they adapt well to the parliamentary style. He also said he looks forward to the cross-examination style.

"We consider it a challenge," he said. This year's battle is on whether the

powers of the presidency should be significantly curtailed.

"I think it'll be interesting to see the Irish defending the presidency," Wylie said. He felt the constitution would have to be discussed.

"We think it's an apropos year for us continued on page 18

@n Cftt\DUS Jeep thieves caught in act by public safety officer

Two juveniles were arrested by Denver Police last week in connection with a recent series of vehicle break­ins on the Auraria campus parking lots.

The juveniles, a IS-year-old female and a 16-year-old male, were caught in the act of breaking into a Jeep vehicle in a Tivoli parking lot by Public Safety officer Bob Barela.

Barela, with assistance from an Auraria attendant, held the youths and turned them over to Denver Police for processing.

"Because it was a Jeep that they broke into, it appears they are tied to the recent series of break-ins on our campus," Lolly Ferguson, technical services manager of Auraria Public Safety, said.

Since the arrests, one Jeep was broken into, Ferguson said, and some camera equipment was stolen. She said this break-in, though, did not fit the pattern of the previous Jeep break­ins.

"There were no signs of forced entry," she said. "The victim said he believed he might have left the door unlocked." In other action, a confrontation in

front of the HPER building resulted last ~ week when MSC student Troy Clau­dio, 24, was struck by a rock then threatened by a knife-wielding man.

Public Safety reported that while Claudio entered the building he was hit by a rock apparently thrown by Chris Thomas, 18, who has not been "'­identified as an Auraria student.

An argument ensued in which Tho­mas reportedly pulled out a knife and threatened Claudio, No further action was reported.

Public Safety contacted Thomas .­about the incident and, while no arrests have been made, they are still pursuing the matter.

Institute helps entrepreneurs lower~ business failure rate ·- .

by Karen B. Algeo

Starting a new business venture is as dangerous as going skinny-dipping in a pool of piranhas. For this reason, MSC' s Institute for Entrepreneurship and Creativity offers survival courses for those thinking about taking the plunge.

"The business failure rate in the state of Colorado is at 807;," Courtney Price, director of the program, said. "Our institute provides that educational link they need to keep out of bankruptcy."

Students have come to Price with dreams of everything from patenting battery-operated pencils to develop­ing submarine tours in Hawaii. Dreams that for many have come true with the help of the Institute.

Karen Hussey, a 1986 graduate with a minor in entrepreneurship, saw her dream of starting a career planning service come true during her last semester at MSC.

"Probably the biggest factor was getting a source of motivation." Hus­sey said. "Dr. Price was real willing to kind of stick her neck out to set you up with sources, and for me that really enhanced my motivation."

Today, Hussey owns The Institution of College Planning and Success, a business that specializes in helping adults map out their career strategies.

The Institute for Entrepreneurship not only helps those students who want to be the driving force behind an entrepreneur.

"We say the key members of an

entrepreneurial buSiness are the driv-ing forces. The action person that really makes something happen," Price said. "Often times, inventions sit on a shelf and they never go anywhere because that person (the inventor) doesn't have the business sense. They aren't the driving force to get that bus­iness started."

Two entrepreneurial courses Price recommends to all students, no matter what they are majoring in, are Funda­mentals of Entrepreneurship and Creativity in Business.

"When you look at who becomes an entrepreneur, sometimes it's that engi­neer who starts his own engineering firm. It's the journalist who's a free­lancer. It's the artist who gets a studio. It's not necessarily the business school people,'' Price said.

Knowing basic entrepreneurial skills, such as negotiating contracts and leases, Price points out, are important factors in business survival.

In addition to these introductory courses, the Institute is also developing a number of other programs to help notential entrepreneurs. Currently they

4

are planning five free seminars to be presented this summer for minorities, ,It women entrepreneurs, high school students, non-profit businesses and business managers.

Price hopes that these efforts will lead to less business failures.

"Business is not risky. People are risky,'' Price said. "Sometimes, it's the wrong people in business who don't have the right skills." D

Honors/ . from page 5

The different award levels were created so the honors program can accommodate not only traditional students, but non-traditional and transfer students as well, Ranwez said.

In order to make the program avail­able to as many students as possible, students will be considered for accep­tance into the program three ways:

•By recommendations from either high school or college faculty.

• By invitations extended to the top students in high school gra­duating classes.

• By personal application. As the program is open to all students, anyone can make an appeal on his or her own behalf.

Although the honors program is largely met with support, some faculty members question whether it is neces­sary or practical.

George C. Becker, professor of biology, is outspoken in his criticism of the program. Although he is not against honors programs in general, he said, he is against the idea of one at MSC.

"Saying that one is opposed to an honors program is like saying one is opposed to motherhood," Becker said. "But one should be opposed even to that under certain circumstances."

There is not a great enough need at MSC to warrant the development of this type of program, Becker said, especially when money is needed for more basic things.

"The biology department, for example, needs incubators~? order.to teach embryonic biology, he said, adding that he felt other departments

had similar needs. Becker questioned whether there

will be enough students to fill the honors classes, and cited scheduling conflicts as another problem that potentially reduces class size.

"Besides, the size of this college doesn't make smaller classes a draw," he said. "Except in the larger depart­ments, most upper division courses only average 12 to 15 students at it is."

Some goals of the honors program overlap with what already exists on campus, Becker said.

"The creation of what the honors program calls 'a community of scho­lars' is unnecessary," Becker said. "Most serious students within related depart­ments know each other."

Becker also said he was concerned about the possible 'snob appeal' of the program. He said he is against any elit­ist faction on campus and wondered if it wouldn't spill over into the faculty that would teach exceptional students.

"It's not that w e (the biology department) are not interested in an honors program," Becker said. "We are just not interested at this time."

Tobin Barrozo, MSC' s vice-president of academic affairs, said the same type of opposition always surfaces with this kind of a program.

"Ari honors program is a traditional way to enhance a school curriculum," Barrozo said. "I don't know what opposition there would be to adding options. If anyone has questions, we will answer them. This is an idea whose time has come."

Anyone who would like more information about the honors program can contact Alain Ranwez at 556-4865 or stop by the program office in the Rectory, room 107. D

Three Roadrunners named ~ - to All-Conference team

by Robert Ritter

Three members of the Metro State -Jllen's basketball team were named to ' the Great Northwest All-Conference

team last weekend. Senior guard Thomas Murphy, the

team's MVP and a three-year starter, was named to the first team while jun­ior Rich Grosz made the second team

~ at center and freshman forward Shun Tillman made honorable mention.

Murphy finished his third year with Metro as its career scoring leader with m points, His 14.6 points per game average led the Roadrunners, and he also led the team in steals, th:.ee-point

- j field goals and free throw percentage. He said he didn't expect to be named

to the first team, because Metro fin­ished in the middle of the conference pack at 5-5. . .

"I figured they'd take someone from .. the f:irst or second place team in the

conference," Murphy said. "I figured if I had a good year, the team won and was productive, then the honors would come. " . Still, Murphy said he would trade the first-team selection for more team

' success the past three years. "I wanted to win 20 games and make

·it to the tournament. It would have been more rewarding if we could have

·some championships. (But) I was glad to be a pioneer in a rebuilding pro-

,. .. gram," be said. Grosz was the team's leading reboun­

der with 9.2 per game and finished second in the conference in rebound­ing behind first-team selection Hansi Gnad of the University of Alaska­Anchorage.

:A. Grosz started all 28 games this year and averaged 12.3 points, shooting a team-high 62 percent from the field.

.•

He said he didn't make being named to the all-conference team a goal, con-

centrating. more on helping the team. "I didn't expect to be named to the

team. I wanted to help the team as much as possible, so I didn't give much thought to it," Grosz said. "I look at ·myself as a role player, getting boards, shutting down another player."

Grosz said his goals next year include helping the team win 20 games rather than making all-conference honors.

'The team comes first, the individ­ual second. There is no 'I' in team," he said, repeating a line from bis high school coach. "I don't want another average season, I want to win 20 games and go post (a post-season tourna-ment . ) "

Tillman, in his first year after lead­ing George Washington High School to last year's Colorado Class 4A basket­ball championship, started 17 of 28 games for ·Metro.

His 7.6 rebounds per game were second on the team and his scoring average of 8.4 points .made him the Roadrunners' third-leading scorer. Till­man led the team with 31 blocked shots.

Tillman said he was pleasantly sur­prised at being named to the team.

"I was a little shocked. I felt I could contribute, but I didn't expect it be­cause it .~as my first year in the con­ference.

He also credited hefld coach Bob Hull with much of his success this year.

"Coach Hull is a good coach and I didn't mind working hard for him. He made me enjoy this year. But he is also interested in us getting our degrees, not just playing basketball."

''I've got a goal to make it to the first team. I'll have a lot to live up to, I'll have to produce, but I don't feel any pressure," Tillman said.

Murphy and Grosz also were named to the Denver Post Colorado All-Small College team last week. D

W 01nen' s star nanied All­_Conf erence for second year

by Robert Ritter

Center Heidi Keyes, the leading scorer and rebounder on the Metro

II: State women's basketball team, was named Monday to the Continental Divide All-Conference team for the second straight year.

Keyes led the league in rebounding with 12. 7 a game. She also finished as

,-;. the league's third leading scorer at 18.4 points per game.

Keyes, a senior from Nederland, said her improved play over last year contributed to her being irtcluded on the team.

"My stats improved from last· year ~ and I made the team last year so I

wasn't totally surprised. My game im­proved this year."

She said she was bopin~ to make the

All-American honors from the begin­ning of the season, but realized that was probably impossible.

"I was aiming at making All­American, but I realized I probably couldn't get it. But I was also aiming at having a good season."

She expressed disappointment over the team's losing record, 8-20, espe­cially considering the talent on the team.

"This is the best (women's) team this school has ever seen," she said.

Keyes was also named to the CDC all-league team last fall 'as a middle blocker on Metro's volleyball team.

Keyes, who has one year of eligibil­ity remaining, will play volleyball again next year but not basketball as she plans to graduate in December with a degree in criminal justice. · D

K2 climbs above average production by Sean-Mlch•el Giimore

The bright Nepalese sun rises on K2, the second highest mountain in the world. The growing light awakens two members of a climbing expedition sleeping fitfully on a small ledge on the side of a 600 ft. ice wall. A fall has resulted in a broken leg for one climber, and has forced both to spend a night from which neither thought they would awaken.

So begins K2, an unusual new play written by Patrick Meyer, directed by Dennis Bontems and produced by CityStageEnsemble.

The play gets off to a sluggish start as if not only the cast but the director had just awakened from a frozen sleep. Fortunately, as the pacing speeds up the plays . warms up to become a delightful, insightful and moving drama o_f two friends trapped in a seemingly hopeless situation.

Although the setting is the vast open spaces of the Himalayas, the entire play takes place on a platform simulat­ing an ice ledge that is just big enough to hold the play's two characters, Tay­lor and Harold.

In fact, Harold, the climber with the broken leg, moves only once during the play (although Taylor seems to be in constant motio,n) . But the tightness of space isn't limiting to the action as it is the dialogue that really makes this play climb above the average.

But what do two frozen men, facing possible death in the thin air at 27,000 ft., talk about?

Sex, life, love, their jobs, the neutron bomb, the nature of the universe as well as the nature of life" down below" are topics for debate as they try to extricate themselves from their per-

sonal and physical predicament. Taylor and Harold are as dissimilar

as two friends are likly to be. Taylor (Dan Hiester) is "the Clint Eastwood of mountain climbing" - a hard-boiled district attorney who every day puts away the scum who prey on the inno­cents inhabiting the cesspool that is life down below. Taylor enjoys his per­sonal crusade to make life safe for those do-gooder middle class liberals like Harold.

Harold (Philippe Bernier) is a sensi­tive literary type. He is a physicist who has turned to the magical world of sub-

atomic particles for his much needed answers on the nature of the universe.

One of the first things the ever logi­cal Taylor does is to make an equip­ment check and a situation assessment: stuck on an ice wall 300 ft. from the bottom with only one 120 ft. rope, two ice axes and various carabiners, pitons and ice-screws. He returns to this ritual time and time again as if it is his only anchor (or ice-screw) in a situation he refuses to see as more and more hope­less.

Taylor decides he must climb up the twenty feet to the sight of their fall to

Phillipe Bernier and Dan Heister perform in K2 playing at the 9'Sullivan Theatre at Regis . College, Thursday through Sunday, March 5 through 21. For information and reseroations call 433-8082.

retrieve another rope still attached to the wall. He accomplishes this by climbing a 4x4 post that rises out of sight of the audience. He makes this climb three times during the play, which would be one time too many except for every time he goes we are treated to a delightful soliloquy by Harold (Philippe Bernier). Harold r

begins with a ribald story about a one­eyed giant that even embarrasses the profane Taylor. At times the dialogue will turn the ears red of those un­initiated to the vulgar vocalizing between two buddies. It is a small ... insight into the kind of talk never meant for mothers, sisters or sweet­hearts, shared between men in dan­gerous situations'.

Harold then launches into his per­sonal history in the wonderful world of physics, combining Einstein's theory ~ of relativity, sub-atomic particles as saviors and quarks with an eastern metaphysical philosophy.

His soliloquies are dramatic encap­sulations of the philosophy found in Fritjof Capra's Tao of Physics and of ., quantum mechanics in general; they are apropos for a middle class scientist dressed in the latest high-tech climbing gear stuck on the side of a Himalayan mountain.

Harold's "gizmo king" analogy of a material world gone mad is worth the price of admission alone. But when he asks Taylor if he w;uld rather build a bomb that would destroy all the giz­mos and leave the people or a bomb that would kill the people and leave the gizmos, Taylor has a small explo- • sion of his own. Taylor thinks every- ' thing Harold has tp say is "full of crap" and the feelings the two friends have for one another begin to deteriorate as the tension and desperation mounts.

A mountain, and climbing in general are good vehicles for dramatizing -' human nature stranded on the edge. In climbing, every human action and reaction is intensified and made immediate.

Strengths and weaknesses - realiz­ing limits or pushing beyond them become life or death decisions on the ' mountain. Harold accuses Taylor of being the real romantic for not facing the "consequences" of mountaineer­ing. Taylor begins to fall apart at his inability to extricate them from their icy trap.

"This is supposed to be my hobby, not my life," he says.

Harold now becomes the stronger of the two, soothing Taylor and urging him to pull together.

Heister, who is an accomplished climber, and who has lost a father and J

brother to climbing accidents, is phys­ically convincing and a fairly compe­tent actor. Bernier gives a brilliant per­formance and establishes himself as one of Denver's best resident actors.

To find out whether or not Harold ,, and Taylor finally make it off K2, you will have to make the climb yourselves to Regis College, March 7 through March 21.

You can ignore the brief slide show at the end of the performance as it is -... totally self-indulgent and interrupts the natural need for the audience to applaud a job well done. D

• 'Angel Heart' a filn1 noir 01ix of evil and suspense .

.., by Bob Haas

"The future is not what it used to be."

So says Louis Cypher, an immacu­lately groomed and disturbingly sinis-

, ter client who hires a detective to find Johnny Favorite, an old acquaintance who once reneged on a deal with Cypher.

The detective is Harry Angel, a rumpled, down-on-his-luck private

.. eye, and it is Angel's detective work which is the story in the new film Angel Heart.

Angel visits the seedier side of 1955 New York, and ends his search in the Bayou country of Louisianna.

The movie is a compelling detective • 1 drama, heavily indebted to Raymond

Chandler, a master of the genre. But the film has unsettling supernat­

ural overtones: Voodoo, and the occult. Robert DeNiro is Cypher. His fin­

gernails are long and ~xquisitly manic­ured. He is a foreigner who spealcs

• without an accent - the source of his money and power a mystery.

Mickey Rourke plays the bubble­gum chewing gumshoe, Harry Angel. Angel is street smart and persistent. He's ajce to kids and beats up old men.

~ Robert DeNiro

His quarry, Johnny Favorite, was wounded in W.W. II, had massive facial reconstruction and may or may not be alive. Angel discovers some amazing things in discovering who and

"' where is Johnny Favorite. The combination in Angel Heart of

detective drama and supernatural thriller is an odd mixture, but the plot is laced with so many twists, and the film full of so many themes that the mar-

11- riage of dissimilar genres is a natural communion in a bizarre experience.

The film is filled with elements of Noir, that uniquely American technique of combining particular visuals to sug­gest sinister and destructive themes. Protagonists in Films N oir are visually

> marked as destroyed from the begin­ning; they are frequently trapped in cages or bars of darkness and light. They often bring about their own des­truction. Stairs and elevator shafts permeate this film - Angel constantly

_,,. moving up and down in circles and shafts of light in search of the truth.

Angel Heart is a visually exquisite film. An overriding attention to detail gives an overpowering sense of period. Angel Heart is filled with grotesque gore - ripped out hearts and cut-off hands. The opening scene is of a dark and rain-soaked street; it sets us up for a film where even the dogs dor.'t eat the dead.

Director Alan Parker (Fame, Mid­night Express, Pink Floyd: The Wall) has made a memorable film. It wm leave the theater with you, and though unlikely to cause nightmares, it will cause you to think about film art manipulation.

Rourke and DeNiro are intense. Lisa Bonet, from the Cosby Show, is the daughter of a voodoo priestess. Her scenes in a voodoo ritual and a love­making, blood-letting scene with Rourke are eye-openers. {Ten seconds from the latter were eventually cut to reduce the film's rating from 'X' to 'R'.) Bonet is sweet and fresh with youth, yet all the while believable as a woman who knows intimately both worlds of good and evil.

Rourke's Harry Angel is the actor's standard. You either like Rourke's characterizations or you don't - this film offers typical Rourke.

DeNiro is mostly a cameo, but he exercises noticeable control; he creates the evil in Louis Cypher with the sub­tlety of his face.

Parker makes some lazy and ignor-

Lisa Bonet and Mickey Rourke

ant connections between the occult and Black Harlem revivalist religion; he hurts his film with too much plot explication. It is burdened with some campy dialogue and dime-store jokes playing on suspicious sounding names.

The film is excellent - technically proficient, visual and tight. The movie is not as good because Parker has diffi-

17

culty bringing together all of the ele­ments into a cohesive whole. The secondary characters are poorly scrip­ted and flatly directed. Their lame performances suck vitality from the main business at hand - a search for truth amid macabre lifestyles and omnipresent evil. C1

The truth he finds is quintessential noir with a creative twist. Starts Friday the 13th at a specially selected theatre near you.

AIDS/from page 4 practice safe sex," Helburg said.

Helburg estimates that one inquire per day may be related to AIDS or other sexually-transmitted diseases.

"It's not a disease of the gay com­munity," she said. "Students are con­cerned because this is not a cold that you will get over." .

Mavromatis said there has been a change in the scope of the disease.

"A couple of years ago it was a 'not­my-problem' attitude," she said. "Questions come in and our role is to give out appropriate information and referrals."

"It is a delicate issue, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed," Mav­romatis said.

She said the Center bas health care providers who can provide informa­tion and referrals on AIDS for any stu­dent who seeks the information.

The Center, which is working with Student Activities on an AIDS­Symposium for later this semester, also provfdes pamphlets on AIDs and safe sex and sells condum.

Yolanda Ortega, MSC director of Student Activities, is spearheading the AIDS awareness symposium.

Students suggested a major AIDS symposium. Our first planning meet­ing is Monday (March 9) and we hope to have a reputable speaker on the sub­ject," Ortega said.

Ortega said they hope is to get the information out to students and to get the identification on AIDS away from just a gay problem. D

Debate/from p.11 to talk about the constitution," since the United States is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the constitution. Wylie said the Irish constitution isn't that old and hasn't been through the test of time.

Wylie went on to praise his fellow teammates, Joy Goldbaum and Holly Brookman.

"Both Joy and Holly are extremely witty," he said. "I have no doubt Metro will do well."

Goldbaum expressed similar senti­ments and praised the alternate debat­ers, Tammy Williams and Martin 'Norton.

"Tammy is doing a lot of research.

And Martin, is a joy to have on our• team. He knows so much history," Goldbaum said.

"I think we're more courageous," Brookman said of the Metro team. The Metro team is debating the winners of the Irish Times Debating Competi­tion. Metro's team can't claim those ... kinds of awards and accomplishments. That's why the team is working very hard on research, she said.

"Maybe we'll catch them off guard," Wylie said.

The battle between Metro's debate, team and the Irish debaters will be at 1 p .m. on Tuesday, March 17 in room 330 of the Student Center. The event is free and open to the public.

The Irish debaters will also appear at the Tivoli on Saturday, March.14 at 2 p.m. in the Center Court. •
