,. Referendum results in SACAB out

T

by Bob Haas

The results from last week's refer­endum are out, and in a close vote, students said no to expanding the phys­ical education building.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB), which acted as the election commission, reported to the Auraria Executive Council on March 18 that the proposed expansion was defeated by 11 votes out of 1,959 votes cast.

But hours after making their report, Metro SA CAB members Gil Perea and Ben Boltz were removed from the advisory committee by Metro's stu­dent government. Charging impropr­iety and bias, Gina Houx:, ASMSC president, said Wednesday evening that a unanimous senate vote of dis­missal resulted because Perea and Boltz "made it hard for the referendum to pass.

"They decided that since no organ­ized opposition to the expansion existed, it was the responsibility of

SA CAB to organize opposition," Houx said.

"They encouraged election judges to solicit voters, and to tell voters that they were. casting their ballot merely for an increase in student fees," she said. "That sounds like bias to me."

The Metropolitan was unable to reach campus officials Wednesday evening, but some were angry earlier in the day.

It isn't the closeness of the vote, or the defeat which has sparked campus anger, but the behavior and attitude of

SACAB in running the election. "We would be angry even if we had

won," said Dick Feuerborn, director of campus recreation.

"These guys (SACAB) made deci­sions totally independent of advice from anyone who had ever run a refer­endum before," Feuerborn said. "Deal­ing with SA CAB wore on me," he said. "They wer.e irrational. They didn't have good reasons for anything they did."

The frustrations with SACAB are not limited to campus rec. Jim Schoe-

Mage Iii tells alumni he and staff job-hunting

Officers say heat is on Metro

by Sean-Michael Giimore

While addressing an alumni board t meeting March 10, Metro President

Paul Magelli said he and his top admin­istrators were actively seeking em­ployment elsewhere. Although Dr. Magelli refused to comment on the statement, some of his key administra­tors denied looking for other jobs.

> "As far as I know, both Dr. Magelli and myself plan on working together at Metro for a long time," Harry Gianneschi , vice president of Institutional Advancement, said.

Gianneschi commented he had just ._. come from a meeting with two other

vice-presidents involving plans for the 1988-89 academic year and that he had no knowledge of any administrators looking for other jobs.

"Perhaps he made the statement under some other context," he said.

._ One board member, who attended the meeting, said Magelli did make the statement, but also thought it only had meaning when connected with his other statements.

"Yes, he did say that," Connie White, secretary for the Alumni board, said.

;- "But I think it was in the context of Dr.Magelli's frustration with the Con­sortium of State Colleges' budgeting for Metro." she said. ·

The consortium governs all four-year colleges in Colorado, and allocates

1 Metro's yearly budget. Although Magelli's statement was

news to Tobin Barrozo, vice president of Academic Affairs, frustration in dealing with the consortium comes as "no surprise to anyone," he said.

Barrozo, who also has every inten­.._ tion of keeping his current job, said he

could possibly understand Magelli' s

statement in that context. "There is a lot of frustration in the

administration in dealing with the con­sortium," he said. "The demands from them this year exceed any other year."

"That is just our role relationship," Houston Elam, consortium President, explained. The consortium has a dif­ferent set of objectives than M CS admin­istrators, which might lead to frustra­tions, he said. But the consortium has no philosophical or personnel prob­lems with any MSC administrators.

Irene Sweetkind, chairman of the Board of Trustees for Metro, said the trustees are happy with the job Magelli and his administators are doing.

"I have no problem with President Magelli's performance," she said.

Check the Minutes In one excerpt from the minutes of

the alumni board meeting Magelli states his "administrators are all on job seek­ing trips."

Magelli, in a phone conversation with Gianneschi, said he would not comment on the statement. Prior to making the statement, he had placed the meeting under "executive session" and was not allowed to comment pub­licly, Magelli told Gianneschi.

Executive session renders a meeting closed to the public and media.

According to one board member however, the meeting was never placed under executive session.

"I don't recall that ever happening," Yvonne Spaulding, executive director of the alumni board, said.

There was also no written record of the order in the minutes for the meeting.

Cleveland Question The Denver Post recently ran a story

,. Referendum/tram page 1 mer, deputy executive director for AHEC, said there were problems of personality and communication with SACAB from the b eginning. But like

~ Feuerborn, he is quick to say that he has no problems with the election itself.

"All indications are that the voting was solid," he said.

"I didn't see anything wrong in the election process," Feuerborn said. "I

i. just think all the other stuff was abso­lutely needless."

'All the other stuff includes SAC­AB's initial refusal to add a fourth pol­ling place in the Student Center, (where 34 percent of the total votes were ulti-

,. mately cast), and SACAB's insistence that the unofficial results be kept secret for six days following the election.

Ian Kernan, chairman of SACAB,

explained that the results were held until after any contestations of the election were heard to prevent anyone from contesting the election on the basis of the results, rather than on the basis of concerns with the process.

'Tm not trying to keep any informa­tion from you," SACAB member- Gil Perea said."SACAB made the decision (to withhold the results) months ago, we felt it was a good decision then, and we still feel so."

But the waiting was hard on Feuer­born and his staff.

"Morale was terrible," he said. "We ran a clean campaign over here. We had a lot of fun - buttons and bal­loons. It was embarrassing to me to have people asking me about the result, and not knowing. I didn't sleep all weekend. This whole thing is leaving a

MSC president Paul Magelli

referring to Magelli as a finalist in Case Western University's search for a new president. Case Western, a prestigious college with a medical and law school, is located in Cleveland, Ohio. When asked how close a finalist Magelli was or whether he had applied for the posi­tion himself, administrators there re­fused to comment. Ray Gentles, who heads Case Western's search said the news might be damaging to the nomi­nees if they lost and had to return to

sour taste in my mouth," he said. Despite the problems with SACAB,

the referendum result was still no. 'Tm disappointed," said Jim

Schoemer, deputy executive director for AHEC. "The problems of inade­quate space are still with us, but for right now, we'll just move back and reassess the situation."

Campus Recreation Director Dick Feuerborn agrees.

"\Ve'll have to reassess our situation over here," he said. "We have some potentially hazardous situations with the overcrowding in the weight room. There are liability concerns. We may have to make policies to restrict the usage to stave off injuries."

The failed referendum affects not only the future of campus recreation, but the future of Metro's intercolle-

their respective colleges. Highly respected administrators like

Magelli are quite often nominated for upcoming presidential jobs hy other people or committees, Gianneschi said.

"Dr. Magelli is hot property and it is not uncommon for him to receive inquiries for other jobs," he said.

"It would be abnormal if he didn't look at a prestigious university like Case Western,'' Barrozo said. "That doesn't imply he is unhappy here." D

giate athletics. "I don't know the impact (of the

vote) on our athletics program," Metro President Paul Magelli said. 'TH need to talk with the other officers (from UCD and CCD)". Magelli said that without expanding the building, ques­tions arise about the ability to "handle the present demands on the facility.

"You can't totally separate the refer- · endum from athletics," Magelli said, "but I have no intention of re­evaluating the athletics program at this time."

SA CAB reported 65 votes as absten­tions, explaining that these votes were unrecorded due mo!.t likely to errors made by voters in the booths. This is common, according to Denver Elec­tion Commission Director Sam Tar-kington. o

Some of us would be dis­appointed because he hasn't been here very long. I would hope that he would have the opportunity to examine the programs he has started.

-Dr. Rick Doepke, chairman of the Philosophy Dept.:

Magelli is a high quality guy. The Trustees will have a hard time replacing him. I can understand why he would want to move. I can speculate on why one may want to do this. The pres'ident is ham­strung, he has to fight with the trustees a lot. It's a shitty situation. I'm surprised we got someone as good as Magelli, I'd be very surprised if we got someone as good as him again.

Rodger Lang, professor of art: I'd be real disappointed. I

think we're making good prog­ress. He's being a good leader, he's doing a good job. We've had a lot of turnover higher up and it's held usiup as an institution.

SACAB puts students' rights in jeopardy It's damn hard to convince higher education officials

- on any level - that students should have the right to run their own programs and decide on their own fees when student leaders continue to piss on the responsibility.

Granted, it's a lot easier to get a handful of eight-to­five college officials together than the same number' of students.

But when Gil Perea and Ben Boltz and the rest of their SACAB buddies were soliciting help and cooperation from the campus community, they got nothing but that - help in good faith.

Few people on this campus want to get in the way of such pure operations as a student-vote on student-fees.

The fact that these SACAB-people took that faith, and the faith of the students they represented, and used it for their own pleasure - their own ego-trip - is shameful.

Their brilliant idea was to hold the results so that any contestation would be based on "valid issues and not just on the results ."

Nevermind the democratic proce~. Nevermind the fact that putting up with the "headache of dumb contes­tations" was their job, their responsibility. Nevermind the reckless disregard for the proven referendum process.

They threw it all away to be different. ·when SACAB finally presented its "report" to the

executive officers of Auraria's four institutions, it was a

page from a junior high school student government meeting.

Actually, that's not being fair to our youth. After keeping the executive officers waiting while

Boltz and Perea typed the "report" and tried to organ­ize a .. press conference," they strolled across campus chuckling over all the attention they had focused upon themselves.

When they finally presented their "report" to the executives, they tried to make the busy officials listen while they read a history that dated back to 1984.

Their historical account criticized everyone involved while praising themselves at length.

Finally, AHEC Director Morgan Smith asked if the executives could just read the report later and get on with the results - get on with the secret.

After a long list of individual polling statistics, Perea announced that the referendum had failed. Their lime­light was over and nobody noticed. The tension SA CAB had created whooshed across the table and the students were again just students.

Who would have thought that less than eight hours later, these two self-made-celebrities would be jerked out of their positions.

Instead of protecting our democracy and seeing to a fair vote, SACAB may have destroyed the thread of confidence that administrators haa in student participa­tion in determining the future of Auraria.

Editor,

March 20, 1987 The Metropolitan

CoPIRG ~upported I find that when people don't know much about something, they tend to draw negative, and often wrong conclusions. I write this letter to better inform Metro students about CoPIRG, and the chapter forming at Metro. The more students know about CoPIRG, the more they will like it. great deal for three bucks!

7

Many people mistakenly believe CoPIRG is a partisan special interest group. As former chairman of Colorado School of Mines College Republicans, I used to buy that story.

Well, I'm still a Republican, but I don't buy that line anymore. CoPIRG establishes its relationship with Metro students through an initial

referendum vote of support, a completely voluntary fee system, and a constantly re-occuring student vote every three years. Any student may also preside over CoPIRG by serving as student representative on the CoPIRG State Board of Directors. No other group on campus pursues all four of these methods of maintaining student approval.

People also try to tell ~e the voluntary, waivable CoPIRG fee is unworkable and unfair. I have personally talked to a representative of the Bursar's office and found the waivable fee to be very practical. The same system works at C.S. U. and U.N.C., and is highly accepted. If students were truly concerned about fair fees, they would be concentrating on the fifty-three dollar health insurance fee. To get that money back, students must make a personal appearance at the Bursar's office, fill out a form, and wait for an eventual refund. CoPIRG simply asks students to check a box on an invoice that all students receive. That sounds fair and easy to me!

I recently sat down and tried to think of all the special interests CoPIRG supports. Co PIRC fights for clean air, clean water, lower phone bills and tenants rights.

As far as I can tell, a large number of Metro students breathe, drink water, use phones and live in apartments.

Spending the last eight weeks on campus talking to students, CoPIRG has shown me they care about Metro. I write this letter to show I care about the issues CoPIRG fights for. Anyone with further questions should contact the CoPIRG representative tabling every day in the Student Center, or attend the meeting every Tuesday at 3:30 in West Classroom 154.

Metro CoPIRG could also fight for more specific Metro issues, like improved parking and improved bus service. That tells me CoPIRG supports public interests, not special interests.

CoPIRG also provides legislative internships for credit, consumer guides, voter registration drives and community service projects. CoPIRG brings guest speakers to campus, presents films on environmental and consumer issues and provides access to professionals to help get things done effectively. Auraria has proved to be a very activist-oriented campus, and CoPIRG provides a grass root organization in which students can see their effol'ts get results. That sounds like a

Editor, On Thursday, March 12, when I tried to vote in the student referendum on the

physical education/recreation facility, which would increase student fees $10 per semester, I was told by the voting officials located in the area by the convenience store in the Student Center that I would need a validated student ID in order to vote. I did not have such an ID, even though I am a student, so I had to go up to the game room in the student center where IDs are sold and buy one for $3.00.

My question is this: Why couldn't the people at the voting place let me vote without the ID? I am a bona fide student. My name was in the book of current students which the officials had right there in front of them. I had in my possession more than one picture ID, as well as the printout and receipt verifying my student status spring semester 1987.

I wonder if there is a conspiracy to make it hard for students to vote. The notice of this election, which was located in the lobby of the Student Center, did not give the location of the polling places. I have seen various articles and flyers encouraging students to vote on this issue, but most of them did not mention even the dates of the election, let alone the location of the voting places. Isn't it the duty of the election commission to see that students have all the information they need to vote on such a potentially expensive issue? Why does the commission instead put up obstacles that make it difficult for interested students, such as myself, to vote?

I persevered and voted. If the election commission was on the ball, I'd be $3 richer. I hope that calling attention to this situation will save future students some difficulties. A student is a student, whether or not they have a student card. If the election commission doesn't already know that, someone should tell them.

Voting Woes

MSC Cleaner

Than ·sMU

Recently, while watching the local television news, I saw a story telling the viewing audience about the NCAA's choice to omit Southern Methodist Univer­sity from further participation in the 1987 playing season because they had been paying their team sports players. This was outrageously appauling. How could a school, even after several warnings about the violation continue to allow the practice? Do big schools like SMU feel that they have the absolute authority to disregard the best interest of the institution students?

One thing that we should be aware of in student government is the MSC athletics program's ability to cause a controversy. However, it should be pointed out that OURS is also the "cleanest" athletics program in the NCAA Class II League. As long as it stays this way I'm in support of the program. The moment that it becomes a "dirty" one is when it's time to fold it up.

I further believe that when the institution has so little regard for the students, such as SMU, that it can be convicted of gross negligence, it's time to disband the program. I further feel that SMU is getting its just reward when about 40 percent of the entering freshman class decided to go elsewhere.

Something that we in student government should be aware of is what the students want or need from the institution. The only way that we can represent the students is by talking to them. In order that we can more accurately represent the students' best interest we need feed back - from both sides. We need PARTICIPATION!!! Students who simply bitch and moan are simply slugs in a pond. Students who bitch and moan to the right ear will get a response - maybe. Students who participate and actively pursue their desires are the ones who will succeed and change things. These are the students who will not allow the institution to have little or no regard for t~em. It's your future , do something about it.

Crowd finds Titanic tale titillating by Jiii Ranaudo

Most people try to avoid the number 13. But for Dr. Robert D. Ballard, 13 years of intense preparation brought him sunken treasure - the H.M.S. Titanic.

Ballard thrilled a standing-room-only crowd at St. Cajetan's last week, as he · recounted the historic September 1985 expedition when he and bis crew solved the 73-year-old mystery of the missing cruise liner.

Still, Ballard stressed that since so much of the Titanic is intact and pre­served at the bottom of the North Atlantic, it should be left undisturbed for future generations to enjoy.

Ballard prepared for bis search by tracing routes, positions and overnight drifts of ships in the Titanic's vicinity the night of April 14, 1912, when it collided with an iceberg and sank.

The Californian, the ship that could have saved all of the Titanic's 2,227 passengers had its radio been turned on, was charted 19 miles from the Titanic, he said.

However, some of the 705 survivors of the Titanic and some passengers of the Californian said they saw lights from another boat, each in the direc­tion of the other liner.

-Ballard discounted a theory of a third vessel.

by Karen Reid

It's the week before spring break and all through the school, students' minds are stirring with thoughts of beaches and swimming pools.

And exactly where are these stu­dents running off to? Well, the answers are not too surprising.

Padre Island, Fort Lauderdale, Southern California, Mexico - the typical spring break escapes. But beware. If you waited until now to plan your getaway, you may run into some problems.

"All of the typical hot spots are filled. Most people started making reservations back in January," said Sandy Trummer, an agent for High­lands Ranch Travels. "But that doesn't mean we can't get you there - you may just have to put up with the time and accommodations you can get."

Some students were just planning to go home for the week. And home for these students ranged from L.A. to Chicago, Cheyenne to Wisconsin.

One MSC senior, when asked where she was beading for break, bowed her head, as if in shame, and said, "No­where. I have to stay here and finish some homework."

Hmm. Definitely suffering from acute studentitis.

Anyway, for those staying in Denver, why not catch up on some skiing? But be forewarned, you'll be sharing the slopes with many out-of-state spring breakers.

"We've seen tons of college kids in

between the Titanic and the Calif or­nian," he explained. "The two ships were 19 miles apart, so it would have been impossible for them to see each other. You can't see more than five to seven miles due to the curvature of the earth."

But passengers and crew aboard the Californian reported seeing eight white rockets that the Titanic launched as distress signals, "so the mystery ship

was really the Californian or the Titanic," Ballard concluded.

Besides plotting positions of other ships, he also theorized how far and in which direction the Californian drifted on that moonless night and assumed the Titanic remains drifted in the same direction.

He said he knew the heaviest debris would fall straight down, while the lighter debris would take longer to fall and would be swept by currents before settling on the ocean's floor. He ex­pected a trail of debris would lead the crew to the Titanic.

With the help of this information and a computer, Ballard narrowed the search area to a 120-square-nautical­mile area.

Ballard had trouble with computers on several other expeditions, including the search for the space shuttle Chal­lenger's remains in 1986.

"We'd ask the computer where stuff was," Ballard recalled, "and we never found a damn thing."

He waited until July, 1985 for the next weather window - a two-month period from late July to early Sep­tember when the weather and the water are warmer and calm enough for an underwater search - and followed the computer's lead anyway.

Underwater robots, funded and test­ed by the Navy, scanned the search area 13,000 feet below the ocean's sur-

Former MSC star on Mex.ican National team by Robert Ritter

Kevin Trujillo is living a schoolyard basketball player's dream - he spent two months last year getting paid to play basketball and now has a chance to play for the world championship.

Trujillo, a member of Metro State's men's basketball team from 1984-86, played point guard for a semi-pro team in Mexico from Halloween to the middle of December last year.

Now he's preparing to play for the Mexican national team at the World Championship games in Argentina this September.

In between Mexico and Argentina, Trujillo came back to Denver to catch up on school and took time to reflect on bis tour of Mexico and chance to play in the world games .

· A phone call from a friend at 11 p.m. on a Monday last October started Trujillo on his odyssey. The friend informed Trujillo he could play on a team in Mexico if he flew there and sufficiently impressed the coach, who gave Trujillo a tryout on his friend's recommendation.

"It was kind of a hard decision. It set me back in my graduation plans," Trujillo said.

But after consulting his parents, MSC basketball coach Bob Hull and "others who have influenced me," Trujillo decided to take the chance.

He flew down to Mexico three nights later and after a seven hour flight, played that night. His perfor­mance earned him a spot on the team from Puebla, a city about one and a half hours southeast of Mexico City.

In fact, Trujillo became a starter. from day one, playing in about 30 games and averaging 10 points and 10 assists per game and getting "paid pretty well," he said.

The Mexican version of basketball is played much like U.S. college ball; the main difference is that the referees don't have to hand the ball to a player after calling violations like traveling, three seconds or double dribble. This makes the pace quicker and the players are constantly hus­tling, Trujillo said.

Other major adjustments were in store for Trujillo, who was able! to play because he's considered a Mexican-American and each team can carry two along with one · American.

His coach changed his first name to Kenibaldo, to legitimize his presence, and the name change led to a consid­erable amount of ribbing from his teammates.

"I hated it (Kenibaldo). They'd make fun of it, but after a while I started answering to it," he said, smil­ing. "I was like a rookie."

Trujillo also spent his first week proving that he belonged and could hold his own against Mexico's toughest.

"The first week was crucial. It was like I was the new kid on the block. I needed to show that I could play. I had to show I wasn't going to back down. It got pretty dirty," Trujillo said.

His play was impressive enough that after only one week in Mexico,

he was picked to play in an exhibi­tion game for the Mexico pre­national team, a sort of all-star team. Trujillo lived out of his suitcase the entire time, playing games on Tues­days, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. He spent little time sight­seeing, but still saw Mexico in a way he never dreamed possible.

''I've always wanted to go to Mex­ico and see all of it. It was an excel­lent learning experience. I learned there's no middle class, you're either rich or poor," he said.

Trujillo said the fans in Mexico become very emotional and intense when watching basketball. Then, recounting his most frightening expe­rience, he said, "Once, they started throwing coins and bottles and when a 200 peso coin, about twice the size of a quarter, hit me in the hand, the coach pulled us off the floor,"

Still Puebla made it to the finals of the eight team league and won the title in a seven game series. Trujillo's

best game in Mexico was the series' final game, in which he scored 2.5 points and handed out 10 assists and his team won by 30.

Puebla, by virtue of the league championship, earned a right to play in the Central American games against Cuba, which they defeated three games to one to earn a spot at the World Championships this September.

In the meantime, Trujillo expects to be picked to play for the Mexico team at the Pan Am games to be held in Indianapolis this August. The Puebla coach gets to pick the teams as a reward for winning the national tourney and the team is allowed two Mexican-Americans, so Trujillo thinks his chances are excellent.

At the World games, Trujillo hopes to make a good enough impression that may lead to an opportunity to play on a full-time basis somewhere else.

'Tm looking forward to that

(Argentina), because if I make a good enough impression, I can maybe play somewhere else, like Spain. Maybe a coach in Europe will remember my name. I'll take any­where," he said.

Trujillo plans to graduate in December with a degree in Recrea­tion and Parks Administration and even though he'll miss a week in Sep­tember, he said he wouldn't miss the chance to see more of the world.

"My education is very important to me, but there's no way I'm going to pass up this opportunity. I look at it as going somewhere I probably

. wouldn't go otherwise." Even if he doesn't catch on else­

where, Trujillo said he knows how lucky he's been and feels he made the right decision.

"It's always been a dream of mine to play and get paid to play, and I get to see a lot of the world. I knew I'd either do it now or never do it." D

by Bob Haas

Among the counted homeless, desti­tute and mentally incompetent popu­lating America's cities, there are those who have 'fallen through the crack' -who survive day to day hidden beneath the fabric of society's safety net.

Without the support of family or the aid of social workers, these people grind out an existence often chilled with delusions held in common and meagerly heated by petty crime.

Such is the life led by orphaned brothers Phillip and Treat, two misfits who live in an old North Philadelphia row house staged in the DCTC's cur­rent production of "Orphans" by Lyle Kessler.

The brothers are shattered fragments of fragile humanity.

James Newcomb as Treat and Jamie Horton as Phillip in the Denver Center Theatre Company's production of Orphans.

supports his younger brother and him­self through small-time theft. His brother Phillip is a smiling simpleton - a half-wit who never ventures from their shabby apartment. He spends his days watching television and hiding in the closet.

The closet is filled with their dead mother's coats, and provides a refuge for Phillip from the ills and evils of society described by Treat. Phillip professes illiteracy, yet he hides numerous books when Treat comes home; books which symbolize an awareness and knowledge of the out­side world - an awareness and inde­pendence which enrages Treat.

Into this patchwork nest of unhealthy dependence comes Harold, a wealthy gentleman whom Treat has kidnapped. While Treat is out attempting to win a ransom, Harold befriends the fright­ened and naive Phillip, gives him a pat on the shoulder, gives him "some encouragement." An orphan himself, Harold calls the brothers "my little dead end kids," and takes an obsessive interest in their emancipation from their shunted lifestyles.

He becomes a love-filled guardian angel to the orphaned outcasts.

The play is remarkable. It's funny and moving - disturbing in its con­demnation of the holes in society and the price it exacts for redemption. Jamie Horton (Phillip) and James Newcorr.o (Treat) are well cast.

Horton's Phillip leaves his shoelaces untied because he never learned bow to tie them; Horton is endearing as the man-child who trusts implicitly and feels the truth instinctively.

Newcomb is explosive, a raw mani­pulative animal who has learned to survive with bis wits and his anger. He gives Treat a tough guy facade which is overshadowed only by a genuine concern for his brother, to whom be has been like a father. Together they are a compelling yin/ yang of strug­gling survival.

Jam es J. Lawless plays the surrogate father figure, Harold. Lawless brims with a genteel charm, yet he's a subtle shrewdness of cunning manipulation. Lawless is encompassing as an accept­ing and wise sage; he's as gentle with Phillip as he is taut with Treat; his per­formance is a talisman of benevolent control.

Frank Georgianna's direction is fast­paced, but never chaotic - the sense is desperate, but never desolate. He has given the three actors noticeable free­dom to create a subliminal world of need, desire and survival.

The production glows with the warmth of human need, explodes with the passion of human fear, and ulti­mately, moves with the precarious nature of the human condition.
