MSC student's moving essay

Cost-free legal clinic considered ~ George White

Reporter

A proposed campus clinic that would provide free legal assistance to MSC students took a big step forward Oct. 12 when the MSC Student Affairs Board ~ :ipproved funding for the program.

The d evelopers of the Metropolitan State College Student Legal Assistance Program are aiming to open the clinic in January, and if the program works its way up the procedural ladder of approvals as hoped,

- MSC students will have access to free legal services next spring.

"We saw a need on the part of the students for a clinic on campus where they could obtain competent legal assistance," said Dr. Ron Taylor, an MSC associate pro-fessor of business law.

I. The clinic would have a licensed

Colorado attorney on hand 20 hours a week to assist MSC students in areas such as divorce, landlord disputes, traffic citations, bankruptcy and contractual obliii;ations, according to Taylor.

"We saw a need on the part of the students for a clinic on cam- pus where they could obtain legal assistance."

Dr. Ron Taylor MSC Business Law professor

"I think that many problems students have in legal matters could probably be worked out in a 15-minute session with an attorney," Taylor said.

'Too many times people neglect to seek out competent legal assistance because services are not easily available to them," he said.

The recommendation for funding by the { SAB means that MSC students will pay for

the program through their student fees. Taylor and the SAB agree the funding for the program will not require any increase in student fees.

"The program would be funded by exist-ing SAB funds and no increase in student

"' fees would result," said Dr. David Conde, assistant vice president of Student Affairs and chairman of the SAB.

Taylor, who will serve as director of th~ clinic, said the services would be available to both full -time and part-time Y!SC ~ students.

The attorney would be available during daytime and nighttime hours to consult with students, explain documents and laws, outline legal choices and options, answer legal questions, and offer legal advice.

He would not b e able to appear in court, prepare legal documents or advise in felony cases, Taylor said.

Each student would have access to two hours of consultation each semester, he . said.

"Obviously, with 17,000 MSC students, there would have to be limits on the services we could provide and the amount of time we could spend with each individual student," Taylor said.

The program must now be approved by the Office of Academic Affairs, who will determine if the school will fund Taylor's organizing costs. They will have the decision by Nov. 15, according to Dr. Dorothy Snozek, associate vice president of Academic Affairs.

The proposal would then go to MSC President William Fulkerson for approval and, ultimately, to the MSC Board of Trustees.

Both Taylor and Conde are confident the program will secure the necessary funding and approvals, and both are hopeful the clinic will open next spring.

"We feel the clinic will be a benefit to both the students who utilize the service and the college, who will be taking care of the needs of its students," Taylor said.

Although MSC has had other proposals for legal clinics in the past, the college has never had a legal service conducted through the school and offered to the students, Conde said.

"MSC students used to have access to legal services through UCO, but their program was dissolved some time ago," Conde said.

Taylor's proposed clinic would b e available only to MSC students. D

Trust me! Laurence C. Washington Reporter

Unless ifs for yourself, a close friend or someone you trust, don't sell any books back to the Auraria Book Center.

"If the book is stolen, you will be investi-gated," said Lolly Ferguson of the Auraria Public Safety Office.

Last week, several MSC students found that out the hard way.

When an MSC student sold a book hack to the book center, she was contacted by the Public Safety office. Officials informed her the book had been in a knapsack that was stolen from the book center. The knapsack was recovered in Lot F.

The female student said she received the book from another student, who had received it from yet another student.

"The story unfolded when the first stu-Clent told his friend that he was withtlraw-

~ng from school and had a lot of stuff to do," Ferguson said.

He asked his friend to sell the hook for him. The friend realized he didn't have his ID, and while sitting in The Mission, he was joined by the female studen t. He asked her to sell the book, Ferguson said.

The student who stole the book never showed up, she said. The backpack and book were returned to the owner, and the book center got its money back. The two students received a lecture from Public Safety officials, Ferguson said. D

Sobel anchors classes Marla Pearson Reporter

Scott Sobel - a reporter who covered the capture of mass murderer Ted Bundy and the arrival of the Cuban exiles in Flor-ida - is one of the newest additions to the Metropolitan State College Journalism Deparbnent.

Sobel, a reporter and sub-anchor for KMGH Channel 7 in Denver, is teaching only one class, an omnibus broadcast jour-nalism class, "Perspectives in T.V. News," JRN 190. It is the only broadcast-related class in the journalism department.

In the past Sobel has given lectures for Greg Pearson, the department chairman, which enhanced his desire to share his knowledge with students. He wants to give students the "real picture" of what it's like to be in broadcast journalism.

Sobel said his motive for teaching is not the money. Guest speakers for the class

Visiting instructor Scott Sobel include a local news director/producer, an investigative reporter and a television anchor. His students must do interviews, tour Channel 7 and critique current news stories. Because he wants his students to know what television journalism is all about, Sobel discusses the negative as well as the positive sides of the business. D

Thunderstorm busters Jean Corbae Reporter

First, you feel a few drops and then look up. Before long, the sky darkens, rain smashes to the earth, and flashes of light streak across the sky. If you had listened to the weather report earlier that morning, you probably brought your umbrella along, but if you didn't, you're doing the old dodge and dart trick using your backpack for cover.

If you belong to the meteorology department, however, you've probably waited all day, instruments in hand, to observe and record this common occurence of nature: the thunderstorm.

''Thunderstom1 chasing gives the students a sense of reality" beyond what is taught in the classroom, explained Tom Corona, meteorology professor at MSC. "Although there are a lot of weather stations across the country, there is often a wide region between them where storms can form."

Thanks to Corona, next year's spring thunderstorm chasers will be receiving a "weather balloon," which will help them

accurately record such data as the tem-perature, moisture and pressure to aid in predictions of forming thunderstorms.

The balloon will help students understand the conditions which occur before severe thunderstorms develop. It will help students .,,; warn those areas which will be affected by them. Thunderstorm chasing involves mea-suring the temperature, winds and moisture and photographing the storm with both still and video cameras. For meteorology students, then , "hands-on" experience jvolves more than just getting wet.

The balloon, which costs $15,000, will cost MSC only $7,500. The other half will be paid through a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The award is granted to small undergraduate schools with small budgets and eager professors who are willing to tackle the numerous ) lengthy forms.

MSC's small meteorology department, consisting of three faculty members and approximately 40 meteorology majors, competed with other schools around the country for the grant. D

Harvest Festival blooms Mlryam Wiley Reporter

Business at Currigan Hall seemed to be booming Oct. 16-18 for Denver's first-class crafters selected to participate in the Harvest Festival, a 15-year-old national event.

More than 9,000 artisans from across the nation submitted their handiwork, and only 1,000 were selected to be in one or more of the fairs in the 19 cities toured.

You wouldn't expect to attend a science class in a crafts fair. But you did.

At the festival, the largest touring fa ir of handmade crafts in the United States, a butterfly specialist sold her crafts. She displayed a sign using butterflies that read, "Please ask questions."

The sign also read that all the butterflies she used to make the colorful arrangements - tightly protected inside glass coffee tables, lamp bases or small gift boxes - had died naturally.

Aspen moccasin expert Steve DeGouveia, a 15-year Harvest veteran, was amazed at the results of Denver's first festival.

"This is the best first show we've ever done. It is probably up there with San Diego, which has had it for 11 years," he said.

DeGouveia didn't sell his shoes and boots at the show. He was only taking orders and measurements for each customer's mold. Deliveries won't be made until next Aptjl for the footwear, all priced above $175.

"They last an average of six to 10 years," DeGouveia said.

"This is a tremendous crowd," said puzzle maker Jim Reed. "It's very family-oriented and very down-to-earth. Not like the crowds in L.A. There they don't have the patience to try puzzles. They even cheat."

Across from the custom-made moccasins were custom-made hats from the Hatter-dashery.

Cathy Loeffler, a hat maker from Seattle, said she was ecstatic with the business. She .,_ has nine years' experience in Harvest Festivals and said it was not always so busy.

"The hours are long when you are alone," she said. D_

CONSTITUTIONAL CoNVENTION

Life on the street

Students plunge into destitution Shelly Barr Reporter

In the chapel of the Samaritan House, Denver's Lawrence Street shelter for the homeless, Jesus hangs from a cross by one hand. The other hand reaches down to help up someone in need.

The unorthodox crucifix, sculpted es-pecially for the Samaritan, located at 2301 Lawrence St., by local artist Larry Marcel, is symbolic of a philosophy closely held by many of the homeless, a philosophy often misconstrued by outsiders:

"We don't want a hand-out, we want a hand up."

On Oct. 9-10, students from the Auraria and CSU campuses got a first-hand view of life on the streets - from sandwich lines to overnight shelters - when they volun-teered to take "The Plunge" into home-lessness. The event was coordinated by a group of Denver clergymen to create a new consciousness among people about the hardships of the homeless lifestyle through first-hand experience.

Before hitting the streets, participants met on campus for an orientation and debriefing session given by past Plunge participants and group leaders from the homeless community.

"The profile of these homeless are not wrimer winos. In fact, lots of our people are high school, and even college, graduates."

Father Ben Samaritan staff priest

First-time participant and MSC sn;dent Beverly Goodman said she decided to take the plunge to gain insight for a sociology paper she is writing this semester on Denver's homeless. She said after the two-day ordeal she walked away with a different attitude and a full sense of the dehumanizing conditions that the homeless are forced to endure on a daily basis.

"Time just stopped. There's no place to go, nothing to do and you have the whole day to figure something out," she said.

Goodman said she and her small group walked approximately seven miles around metro Denver looking for facilities that served food, before going to the Samaritan House for the night. And from one food line to the next, she said they were almost completely ignored by the people who served them.

"The (food serving) facilities that we found were all outside the churches," she said. "What you do is walk up, they slap a sandwich in your hand and you walk off."

Goodman said she appreciated the churches's charity, but added that they consistently treated the homeless like "animals."

'They don't talk to them," she said. "I thought it was very condescending, kind of sickening, really."

Goodman said she once looked down on the homeless, but her night at the Samaritan House changed her mind.

"I was kind of under the impression that those guys were winos or bums," she said. "But most of them weren't that way at all.

"I talked to three families that had lost their farms and had nowhere to go," she said. "The oil field families are in the same situation. They got laid off and that's the only skills they have. They're in a situation where they don't have any choice but to stay in shelters."

Goodman said she now believes that just about anyone has the potential to become homeless.

"You never know when you're going to be put in that situation," she said.

"The profile of these homeless are not Larimer winos," Samaritan staff priest Father Ben said. "In fact, lots of our people are high school, and even college, grad-uates."

While Goodman was at the Samaritan, she said she witnessed people who were eager to work, not people looking for hand-outs. "While we were at the shelter, they announced a job (for) Saturday at $2 an hour for two hours moving someone who had called in," she said. "And there were probably 20 men that jumped up from where they were and went running down to the desk. Two dollars an hour, that's way below minimum wage, but they were will-ing to go out for two hours ... just to make some kind of money to have in their pockets."

The Samaritan usually offers a 30-day stay to about 250 people. And as an incentive, the shelter offers its people a 90-day extension if they find work within 20 days, Father Ben said.

Every morning at 7:00, the Samaritan boots people out the door in hopes that they will look for work. If they're serious, they are given either gas money or bus tokens, he said.

"We're trying to break the cycle of homelessness in as many people as we can by providing services," Father Ben said.

The Samaritan shelter works to get people back on their feet, but it does not coddle its inhabitants, he said.

There are some hard and fast rules enforced at the shelter. which, if broken, could mean a cold night outside, he said.

"If a person is drinking, that person's not welcome to come in," he said.

Father Ben said there is a breathalyzer machine in the shelter, and tests are given to anyone who acts suspicious or smells of alcohol. Persons found to have been drinking are either sent to a detox center or, if they argue, onto the streets.

"If anyone is caught stealing, they're history," he continued. "Everyone is required to take one shower each day. They can take 50 a day if they want to, but they have to take at least one."

Father Ben also said that people who come to the shelter are required to spend their first day inside volunteering their services.

"This isn't just a flop house," he said. "People must make a contribution." D

The St. Francis Center, home of the Auraria Interfaith Ministry .

Metro takes A.l.M. for better I ifestyles Renee Allen Reporter

Everyone has to believe in something, whether it's Cod, Bob or the doorknob.

But if you haven't found your Cod, Bob or doorknob, maybe the Auraria Interfaith Ministry (A.I.M.) is the place for you.

The ministry, located in the St: Francis Center, just east of the Central Classroom, is an interdenominational religious organi-zation serving the Auraria campus.

A.I.M.'s goal is to reach the students and the faculty on the Auraria campus through ministry, according to Virginia Broderius, the A.l.M. Lutheran minister.

"This campus is unique because so many different people come here from different parts of the world, but it can be a very cold place. We want to try to make it friendly and more unified," Broderius said.

A.l.M. consists of ministers from differ-ent religious denominations. Currently Broderius, Dan Fletcher, a Catholic minis-ter, and Nelson Bock, minister of United Ministry of Higher Education, serve in A.l.M.

They are trying to recruit an Episcopal-ian minister and a Jewish rabbi.

Part of A.l.M.'s efforts to reach students include the World Friendship Festival, which took place Oct. 13 and 14, and SHARE, an event organized to raise money for Denver's hungry, which will be held Nov. 18 and 19 on the campus.

"We do things like the Friendship Festi-val to try to bring unity to the campus," Broderius said.

This year A.l.M.'s theme is "Let's be friends" and was started with a clown min-istry at the beginning of the fall semester.

"Clowns stood on campus and handed out about 400 balloons, hoping to get stu-dents to make new friends by passing the balloons on to someone else," Broderius said.

A.l.M. sponsors a variety of programs, speeches and workshops - such as stress management- throughout the school year.

The organization also offers a nurses' support group every Tuesday, and the min-isters head the Listening Post, located in the student center, where anyone can share peanuts and conversation during the lunch hour.

New campus minister warms to students; cools to climate

Renee Allen Reporter

Dan Fletcher is no Bible-thumping, fire and brimstone, praise the Lord kind of man, but he's more than happy to share his enthusiasm for Cod and campus ministry with anyone who11 listen.

Fletcher, who has replaced Sister Joan Hartlaub as the Catholic campus minister at the Auraria Interfaith Ministry, arrived at Auraria seven weeks ago from Los Angeles, where he worked in adult minis-try for three years.

He said he is very excited to be here in Denver in a full-time campus ministry posi-tion. His only concern appears to be the change of climate. He has never lived in a state with snow before. Get ready, Dan -snow is just around the comer.

"I love the job and the people; the people

have been so nice. But I'm not sure about the cold. I love the outdoors, camping and biking, but I'm nof sure I'm ready for the cold," he said.

Fletcher, 30, has two master's degrees in theology from the University of California at Berkley.

"I have the same degree a Catholic priest would have. I just don't take the vows, and I am allowed to get married," he explained.

It is difficult getting to know everyone on such a large campus with so many dif-ferent schools, he said.

"I feel like the new kid on the block, but that's what ministry is all about, getting to know people," he added.

"My main goal is to let the Catholic community know that we are here at Aura-ria and that they are supported by the church. And I want all students to know that we are here for them," he said. D

Some women are willing to pay any price to lose weight -- crash diets, fasting, laxative abuse, vomiting, and compulsive exercise -- in their pursuit for the perfect body. An eating disor-der is often the final price they pay. Sometimes it's a fatal price.

Professor teaches world union Debra Schluter Reporter

Floating above the earth outside of Apollo 9, sunlight pouring past, dissolving into darkness, astronaut Russell Schweickart said he became painfully aware of how small and blue and beautiful the earth is, feeling for the first time, in his gut, "the precious unity of the earth and all the living things it supports.

"Circling this planet, passing from sun-light into darkness and back again every hour and a half, you become startlingly aware of how artificial are the thousands of boundaries we've created," he said.

But closer to home, lines drawn between nations don't seem so unbelievable. The cultural and ideological differences that tend to follow them are real.

Eye to eye with armed border guards, hands against the Berlin Wall, the broader perspective, earth's greater beauty - that so many different people can live on this singularly small and beautiful planet -blurs .

And if armed guards and tangles of barbed wire succeed in isolating people, language and cultural barriers often seem just as strong, just as high, and equally persistent.

Can education be the gentle giant that lifts us over?

Akbarali H. Thobhani, an t\ISC political science professor, who this fall was appointed director of the Institute of Intercultural Studies and Services, said he thinks it can.

"I believe very strongly in a multi-cultural world," he said. "But we need to offer studies that will generate a greater under-standing and awareness of the world we live in."

It is a difficult task, Thobhani said, because "people have their prejudices."

But it is important to keep struggling, he said.

"\Ve owe it to the students, and to the community as a whole. It behooves us as a nation that we convey the importance of other cultures," he said.

The Institute of lntercultural Studies and Services offers classes and hosts lectures, conferences and exhibits to heighten aware-ness and understanding of world cultures.

Thobhani was named director of the institute after two years and two nationwide searches. He had served as interim director of the program since its inception in the fall of 198.5.

The reasons for the delay in selecting a permanent director were not completely disclosed, Thobhani said.

C.J. White, an MSC sociology professor and head of the selection committee, said the two separate searches, one in the spring of 1986 and the other in the spring of 1987, assured the selection of the best possible candidate to the position.

"There were a number of candidates, and without a shadow of a doubt, Thobhani was the most qualified to do the job," he said.

Larry S. Johnson, dean of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, said he was

Dr. Akbarali Thobani

pleased Thobhani had accepted the posi-tion.

"He has an international reputation and is a very capable administrator. I'm de-lighted with his selection," Johnson said.

Of Indian descent, Thobhani was born in Uganda, east Africa, in a small town about 100 miles from the capital city of Kampala. He came to the United States when he was 20 and studied at the University of Maine, graduating with a degree in international studies - an interest he said he developed in high school.

Thobhani speaks six languages: English, French, Gujarati (West Indian), Hindi, Spanish and Swahili, and he is currently studying Arabic.

A faculty member since 1972, Thobhani holds doctorate and master's degrees in international studies from the University of Denver.

He has received two Fulbright-Hays awards, one this past summer to take a group of Adams County teachers to Egypt on a curriculum-development seminar, and one in 198.5 to lead a group of Colorado educators to Kenya.

The highlight of this past summer's trip to Egypt was a two-hour visit in the home of Egypt's first lady, Thobhani said.

"Mrs. Mubarak's message was that Americans need to try and understand modern Egypt, not just the past," he said.

In 1984, MSC honored Thobhani with the Distinguished Service A ward, and in 1979 he was awarded the United Nation's Peace Medal.

As director of the Institute of Intercultural Studies and Services, Thobhani hopes to expand the existing curriculum into cultures not yet represented in the institute - "To give it a truly intercultural base," he said.

But money is needed to develop and deliver programs.

"We live in a world of limited resources," Thobhani said, none too philosophically.

But he seems undaunted. "My office is always open to discuss

ways to draw the campus and community in," Thobhani said. "The institute belongs to everyone - it is here to enhance the education of everyone."

That goal in mind, it would seem that through Thobhani's eyes one might see a small, beautiful blue planet floating silently through space, its nations and borders intact, its people at peace with their differences. o

OP-ED Programming parked in controversy In the next few weeks, members of the Metro State

student government will be stopping students, ask-ing them to sign a petition asking that the Auraria Student Center and AHEC use all funds deemed "excess" to build a multi-level parking structure.

Such a structure is a fine idea, but at this point one might ask what exactly an excess fund is and why these funds have to be set off in quotation marks.

According to members of the student senate, excess funds are generated from sources like Coke and video machines and food services.

The petition states that the Student Center use funds from the bond fee (every MSC student pays $21 a semester) to pay off the remainder of the bond money used to construct the building. This money also can be used for the operation and maintenance costs of the building. But, it states, that any funds deemed "excess" not be used to provide pro-gramming for students but to help AHEC construct a multi-level parking garage.

There's been some controversy over whether the programming (a lecture and a music series) put on by the Student Center is being funded by student fees and if the programming is a duplication of servi-

ces already provided by the activities directors of Auraria's three institutions.

There's also some question as to whether the Stu-dent Center directors are p laying favorites when it comes to scheduling rooms for programs that are in direct competition.

Each side has some very legitimate concerns and issues. Student representatives say the Student Center should not be a pseudo-promoter of student activities. Those in charge at the the Student Center say the more programming for the students, the better.

But now the squabbling over the controversy is getting petty.

There has been accusation by some institutional representatives that the scheduling of rooms in the Student Center for programming may be tilted in favor of AHEC programming.

The people in charge of scheduling say that rooms are reserved on a first come first serve basis and for now there is really no reason not to believe them.

The controversy over funding for the Student Cen-ter programming also keeps popping up. Don Bain, the first speaker in the Center's lecture series pro-

Editorial called inadequate Dear Editor:

Robert Ritter's appeal (Op-Ed, Oct.9) for all of us to make a small sacrifice to reduce the brown cloud was a thoughtful but inadequate response to our pollution problems.

The brown cloud is a small indication of how the quality of life is being eroded in Colorado. It's no secret that our air is the worst in the nation, but what about the other aspects of our standard of living?

Yes, there is money to be made in Colorado, espe-cially after we earn those hard won degrees. How-ever, overcrowding, crime, and government bureau-cracy can only increase as our numbers swell due to uncontrolled expansion.

The brown cloud will become more deadly as the metro area sprawls. Water is becoming scarce, depleting irreplaceable aquifers and forcing the Two Forks "damming" of magnificent canyons. The mountains of waste generated daily will cont inue to haunt us as our toxic landfills reach capacity. And, no matter how thorough the burn, plutonium will

Tivoli has no obligation Dear Editor:

Concerns have recently been raised about poli-cies having to do with the use of Tivoli lots by students.

It might be helpful for your readers to know that Tivoli has no obligation to serve campus parking needs. While good business practice may cause them to accommodate student needs, Tivoli was granted a 63-year lease on the property and the two adjacent lots.

threaten not only our health but world peace as well. Yet overdevelopment continues to be sanctioned

by local governments in search of an expanding tax base and fueled by the easy profits of developers and speculators. Under the guise of new jobs we witness the scarring of untouched prairies for unne-cessary beltways and airports. It's now painfully evi-dent that we, as well as the wilderness and wildli fe, suffer under the attack of unchecked economic exploitation of the land.

As college students there is a lot we can do to protect our future . Yes, car pool and ride the bus to class, but also persist in voicing your opinion. Let your councilperson, representative, and senator know that Colorado has room for no more dams, airports, super highways or Rocky Flats.

It's time to just say "No" to developers, we simply don't need another Los Angeles.

gram, said he wasn't paid to speak. But the Student Center directors haven't made it clear if any of the other speakers or performers in the music series are being paid to appear.

But maybe that's because no one has really asked them.

It seems that instead of all the fighting and bicker-i n~ that's been going on lately, the three schools and AHEC could get together, and, yes, th is word is in the Auraria dictionary, cooperate.

What's wrong with the Student Center and the program directors getting together and featuring lectures and musicians in a concerted effort? There needs to be more positive collaboration between MSC, UCD, CCD and the so-called fourth institution, AHEC.

Which brings us back to the petition. A parking garage is an excellent idea and a feasible solution to the parking problem that is plaguing Auraria.

So sign the petition. Then urge your student representatives to move on to bigger and better things like less fighting and more peaceful co-existence.

Elena Fridland Special to The Metropolitan

I wished the beds were still in the bed-room but they had been taken out early that morning. The wooden floor in my grandparents' apartment was hard and uncomfortable. I tossed and turned a little more in a makeshift bed of a couple of sheets on top of a thick blanket, then settled down to listen to my parents and grand-parents in the adjoining room.

The door wasn't closed all the way, and the light from the room shyly crept into the dark. The voices were hushed. But once in a while a question could be heard: "What about this? Do you really need that? Can we take two of those? Should I throw it away?" Soon everything started to blur, darkness and light, voices and silence.

I had worked hard that day, putting m>' clothes, shoes and books either in the garbage can or in the large, brown suitcase. The hardest for me was to throw away all my toys. A select few such as an old, worn-out yellow teddy bear and an orange plastic toy gun that shot out ping-pong balls I gave to my best friend.

Before we left our place for my grand-parents' apartment, the three rooms and the hallway were so empty that my breath-ing seemed very loud.

But now I lay on the wooden floor and finally did manage to sleep.

The family was ready at 6:30 the next morning. Papa and Grandfather took all the suitcases down. Mama led Grandpa slowly down two flights on the dark stairs, because he was blind and could not use his hands for guidance as he had so many times before. As we stood outside waiting for the taxi, one of my friends came out to go to school. He looked at our suitcases, then looked at the ground and kept on walking. I was surprised.

"Goodbye, Victor," I said loudly. "Good-bye," he said, without looking up or stopping.

He knew I was leaving, but I guess the reality did not sink in until he actually saw us with all our belongings. I felt such horrible loneliness around him that I wanted to say something, anything, but no words came out. I just stood there in silence, look-ing at a frail, lonely boy walking away. Didn't he know, as I did, that I was coming back, that this was my home, too? At that moment I was so sure I would be coming back, I would have bet the world on it.

The taxi ride seemed the long tone I've ever been on, and although i eality it must have been only 45 minut , my 11-year-old mind imagined that ours had passed. We went through part Minsk I knew and then I was lookin ields on the outskirts of the ci ry quiet. Nobody e o holding some of th ha and uncomfortab

On leaving

At the Minsk Train Station we were told to go to the room for people who were leaving the Soviet Union. It was large and dark gray, with no windows and only one wide door that was open and let sunshine in to mix with the gray dust. Everything in that room was gray, except for a family of six gypsies. Mama said they were not gypsies, they were Armenian, and the bright red-yellow-orange-blue-colored clothes and bands they wore were the national costumes.

I turned my attention to the man who was "inspecting" our suitcases. What he was actually doing was tossing the carefully folded things around, prodding and poking the inside of the cases themselves. The room must have been affecting him, be-cause besides the gray uniform, he had sandy-gray hair and gray eyes. He tried

d not to look at me as I folded my arms stared at him. "All clear, everything as

should be," he said, looking somewhere ve my father's right ear. As we were g the room, I figured out why I was

ring him. It was my red coat. Some-, I felt, it offended him.

My Uncle Rafa, Aunt Sofia and their son, Alick, came to the station to say goodbyt!. Alick had bought a ticket to ride with us as far as the Polish border.

Our compartment on the train was small, with four bunks that folded into a wall, a tiny table by the window and two chairs. Alick, then 24 years old, went out and soap came back with a bottle of vodka, a couple of glasses and a cup. As the train began to move, my father, Alick and Grandfather began to drink, and Mama and Grandma started to repack the mess the gray guard had left. As Grandma started to complain about it, Mama softly said that we were lucky that he took nothing. Grandma be-came silent.

My parents were in their 30s, my grand-parents in their late 60s. To leave a country of their birth, leave for something as elusive and abstract as "freedom" and "oppor-tunity," is something I even now have trouble understanding. I don't know if I would have had the courage to do as they did.

In about an hour the bottle of vodka was empty. Alick started to cry, tears spilling from his eyes to his moustache and onto his shirt. He took me by the shoulders and said, "Don't you ever forget your grandmother (from my father's side of the family, who died four years earlier)!" I promised I wouldn't and he hugged me. I looked at Papa and saw his eyes starting to fill with tears. I swallowed something large an~ clumpy and for the first time felt a shade of doubt about whether I would return to Russia. I tried hard to shake it off, but looking at the two grown men cry made me feel very sick and very, very sad. I started to cry, too.

In another hour Alick hugged us all for the last time and left the train at the border of Poland, in a little city called Brest. So many years ago, and I still remember his eyes when he turned around and waved to us for the last time. That's when the men in uniforms started to come. -,

They came into our little compartment by twos or threes, most of the time just the soldiers in different color uniforms. The first ones were the Poles.

The officer did not look like he was older 19, and the soldiers were relaxed, g around the room. I stared at the

officer. He took a long time looking at our papers. Too long. I didn't like him. But he returned everything, even saluted (for my benefit, I think) and walked out. I slowly let out the breath I was holding.

When we stopped in Warsaw, Papa gif. off the train and said he'd be back shortly.

lussia behind -

"

It appeared that the station was sur-rounded by a chain-link fence. Behind it was a large building, and I noticed some kids playing soccer on the field by it. I assumed it was a school. I would have been in school then, in my fifth-grade homeroom.

Several minutes passed since Papa had left the train. I got very nervous. In 15 minutes I was crying, ready to go after him, but he came back at that moment. He was holding a funny-shaped dark brown bottle. The white letters on it read "Coca-Col.a". He opened the bottle, and I heard fizzing and bubbling. "Try it," he said, smiling. I hesitantly took my first sip. Magic! Never in my whole life had I tasted anything so original and spectacular. Papa let me finish that bottle, but we all shared the second one. That was our family's first meeting with "Americanization."

After that we traveled into the night and in and out of Czechoslovakia. More soldiers came to look at our passports and docu-ments, but I rememberthem vaguely. I did like their bluish uniforms.

I slept with my mother on the top bunk. Only once was I awakened during the night. The voice that disturbed my sleep was cold and precise. It demanded to see "die Kinde (the child)." I raised my head and through the fog of sleep looked into the cold, blue eyes of the Austrian officer. He wore a neat, crisp, green uniform and a cap with a black, shiny bill. Just his look poured a bucket of ice-water over me. I felt small,

- - unimportant, very scared. "Gut (good)," he said, bowed his head slightly and left, followed by two soldiers, whom I remem-ber only as shadows. I dreamt of the Austrian officer for the rest of that night.

(

The next morning, around 9:00, about an hour after we got up, I saw a white gleaming church between the trees, and Papa said that we were very close to Vienna.

When we arrived at the train station we were pushed along in a crowd to a little dark room full of benches. But we didn't have to wait long. A short balding man in a striped suit came and talked to each family . There must have been five Russian families besides ours. I knew what he was asking; I had been cued on the train. Mama had taken me aside and said that I must say nothing, no matter what I heard or whom-ever asked me. I had looked up at her and asked, "Why, Mama, why?" She had patiently explained that a lot of people get to go to Israel and that we didn't want to live in Israel.

"There is war over there, and your grandfather is blind. For him to run to a bomb shelter, you yourself understand, would not be very easy. And also you are a girl. I don't want you to go into the army, I don't want to lose you in a war. Do you understand?"

I knew well about war, for in Minsk some of the buildings that were bombed by the Germans were left in ruins, as constant reminder of war. I imagined Israel to be full of bombed-out buildings and I nodded.

We were the last family the little man came to. He asked my father and grand-father our final destination. Papa said,

"America," then he coughed and said it again. Grandpa confirmed.

Grandpa was a very large man, well over 6'4", with large hands and feet. Actually, everything about him was large, and his face shone with serenity and strength. He was a quiet man and he didn't speak often, just when he had something to say. He towered over the little man, just a little more than he towered over everyone else. The little man looked at me in thought. Then he nodded.

We were led to the bus, which took us to the hotel.

The suite was great. It was large, with pretty pictures of flowers on the walls and two beautiful bedrooms.

Mama and Papa started to unpack, but only a little because we didn't know when we would be leaving. I remembered I had nothing to eat all day.

I told everyone in the room that I was hungry. Nobody had thought to bring any food. But at that time the little man came back and gave us Austrian money. We decided to go shopping. It was a fine, sunny Sunday afternoon. We walked out of the hotel and headed down the street. Seeing a little food store, I rushed to the door. It was locked. Thinking that someone must have locked the door by mistake (who can close this early?) I looked in the window. What I saw shocked me out of my mind!

I saw bananas, lots and lots of bananas on the walls, and apples of all kinds, huge oranges, and other fruit in stands under-neath them! I had never seen so much fruit in one place before! In the U.S.S.R., in order to buy three black bananas, my grandmother would stay in line for hours, because she knew they were my favorite fruit. And here, so much, but all behind glass and key!

We walked on and tried other stores, but they were also closed. Looking in the windows was so overwhelming and frus-trating, I started to cry. I was hungry and tired, and such a teasing was wearing me down.

We returned to the hotel. The Russian families who came with us had already assembled in the lohby. Mama asked a man nearby if he had any food for me. In a matter of minutes the whole crowd buzzed with, "Does anybody have some food for the hungry child?" Soon I was eating a cold, hard-boiled egg with a piece of white bread. They were so good I can still taste them!

The closed shops were explained to us by Madam Betina, the owner of our hotel. She said in her broken Russian that every-body in Vienna was very religious and diJ not work on Sundays. That was my first exposure to religion.

I slept late the next morning and woke up with a start, not remembering where I was. It came to me slowly and the fright I felt went away. I looked out the window on a bright Monday morning and smiled. The stores would be open today!

The rest of the family were already awake. I got ready as fast as I could and we went shopping for breakfast.

Vienna was breathtaking. Many little kids were running to and fro. Old ladies in black furs, heads held high, went slowly about their way, with black or white pood-les in their hands. Oh, those poor poodles seemed so many in number; there appeared to be more of them than people.

The streets were cobblestone, the build-ings massive, solid and mostly marble. The Vienna of Mozart stood around me, as unchanged as all of Europe.

Once inside the stores I felt my mouth drop open. There actually was food in the stores, and so much of it! And the store-keepers were all so very nice. In a meat shop they gave me a free piece of salami, in the candy store I got a free chocolate bunny and a balloon! It was a lot like heaven for an 11-year-old.

lhe streets got lighter and airier as we moved closer to downtown. And for the first time in my life I ran into (literally ran into) an advertisement. I was looking to the right and to the left and over my shoulders, and everywhere but where I was going, when I bumped into a column. It was about one hand's length in diameter and of ivory color. Puzzled, I looked up, then auto-matically stepped back. A huge, 7-foot face gleamed a perfect smile at me.

I called my parents over and showed them the happy picture. They laughed and said it was an advertisement for a tooth-paste. Now I understood! So then as I walked I looked to the left and to the right, over my shoulders, ahead and up! We really had fun with the advertisements, trying to translate them from German. The toughest time we had was with the toilet

9 ,

\.\'hen we were going back we got lost. So Papa, in his high school German, asked a passer-by, a little old man, how to get back .ffi the hotel. The old man carefully and slowly explained. We went on for two blocks when we heard running and shout-ing behind us. Turning around, we saw the old man. Can you imagine? The little old man had run two blocks because he had told us a wrong turn. My parents could not believe it! Even now, when someone mentions Vienna, Papa and Mama always bring up that incident and smile.

The next day was my 12th birthday. My parents promised that they would get me a present later. But I didn't quite understand, for the \Vhole trip seemed to he one huge birthday present.

We spent only eight days in Vienna and left one evening, amidst the beautiful bright lights, for Rome. I felt sad leaving such a magnificent city, but my parents only laughed.

"Someday, you just might come back to Vienna," Papa told me. "Vienna is just around the comer from America, you know. The whole world is just around the corner from America."

I didn't feel sad for long. D Elena Fridland is a junior follrnalism

Debra Schluter Reporter

I got scared when Julian died - the happy little heart-faced kid, a dancer with twinkling eyes and a dazzling smile -whom I will never meet in these halls again.

I call it the Julian Story and it goes like this:

If we are open books upon which our lives are writ, then learning is the breeze that turns the pages. Sometimes quickly, sometimes not at all, and often are the times when we know not who holds the pen.

Some lifetimes endure volumes, others only chapters - and years spent living have little to do with length.

And like so many others, Julian died, appropriately enough, at the end of a chapter - wind fluttering, playing at the pages - just getting ready to turn some over when an unseen hand closed his book, shut the cover.

And we are left alone to wonder, too small to understand how a story, so short, could possibly have been told.

But not all lives are epics - some are sonnets - still others but short fiction , and once written, never are reprinted.

\\le wish now we would have shared them: the words he dared to write upon his pages.

The Metropolitan

The new renaissance of man has lost another member, and mourn we should for we did not stop to look, or even to ask questions - no longer can we dwell where once we had the chance.

So we take a few of his words, ones we can remember, and write them in our minds, to carry around with hope someday their meaning we'll discover - and offer them in time as thoughts unto another. And therein lies the greater lesson - for Julian never truly dies as long as he lives in the words of so many others.

Author's note: Julian Brito, 20, was a psychology mator/ dance minor at MSC. He died Aug. 16 after a car accident on his way to visit friends in Wyoming. D

-SPORTS Foot-loose freshman jumps at Olympics

-.

J;

Shane Pitts, right, spars with classmate Matt Adams.

Kerry Manion Reporter

Two men circle each other on a mat in the Auraria gym. They bounce and shuffle. Twist and kick.

"Ssssahh!" yells Shane Pitts, slamming a bare foot against his opponent's chest. "Ssssahhl"

Pitts, an 18-year-old Community College of Denver freshman, is in the middle of an upper division Taekwon-Do class, but he's different from the other students. He placed second in the National Collegiate Taekwon-Do Championships held in Florida Oct. 3,

r competing against 40 others in the welter-weight division.

He almost won the gold medal, but lost the final match by half a point and ended up with the silver instead.

"I put my all into it and I had my mind on , the tournament completely," says Pitts,

sitting on a rolled-up mat placed against the gym wall.

He talks about the awards ceremony. "I was thinking three things," he says. "I

was happy, I was in pain and I was wondering what it would feel like to come back here.

"I was proud to come back," Pitts says, smiling.

National titles don't come easy. Pitts trains six days a week, two to three times a day. He may spend four to six hours a day working out.

"The last two weeks before a tournament I run and do tremendous amounts of push-ups and sit-ups,'' he says. "My diet has to be right on the button. I want to be at my minimum weight (160 pounds), where I'm not weak, but fast.

"But it doesn't matter how good of shape I'm in; I feel I'm never in the best shape I could be."

Before a competition, Pitts also steps up his free-sparring (practice fighting) .

"It's very serious, quality sparring, to work on timing," says Larry MCGill, Auraria

Taekwon-Do teacher and fifth-degree black belt.

Pitts must fine tune his timing since a competition consists of two two-minute matches in the preliminary rounds and three three-minute matches in the finals.

That can lead to a lot of bumps and bruises. Taekwon-Do is a full-contact sport, with a light foam head-piece and a foam chest protector as the only padding. And drawing an opponent's blood or knocking him out are legal.

Pitts, a black belt, says he has never been knocked unconscious in a tournament, but while competing in Florida he pulled some tendons in his thigh that still bother him.

Even though this injury may slow him down temporarily, McGill said he believes Pitts' talents shine when he operates at 100 percent.

"When he's healthy, he can hit the net with a kick," McGill says, pointing up to the basketball net.

Pitts says he started to get serious about the sport when he was about 15 years old, but he learned the fundamentals long before that. His father began teaching him self-defense maneuvers almost as soon as he could walk.

This early training may have given Pitts the edge.

"Shane has the potential to be a national champion," McGill says.

But Pitts doesn't want to stop at the national level - his goal is to try out for the 1992 Olympics. And he knows he has plenty of work ahead to make this a reality.

Pitts says he needs to get more experience by competing in as many national tour-naments as possible.

Taekwon-Do is a combative sport which camouflages Pitts' gentler side. But he says it has qualities that attract him.

"I like the concepts in the martial arts. You learn humility, patience and concen-tration," he says, rubbing his injured thigh. "Taekwon-Do is a way of life. I take those qualities and mix them into my life." D

Birthday gift a goal Karl Braun Reporter

Junior forward D.J. Ruder celebrated his 23rd birthday in style Oct. 16, when the MSC men's soccer team beat the Colorado School of Mines 5-0.

Ruder, leading scorer for Metro, scored the Roadrunners' second goal of the shutout 12 minutes into the game.

"I got a birthday goal," Ruder said. Dave Biondi scored the first goal five

minutes into the game on a pass from Scott ~ Van Beek.

"We jumped on them quick," coach Bill Chambers said. "Our goal was to beat them 5-0; we did that." - Mike Wachter scored 15 minutes later

for the Roadrunners. Fifteen minutes into the second half,

.. Rudy Kim passed the ball to Chris Kalman, who shot past Mines' goalie Doug Weisner.

MSC' s Mike Wachter, right, runs by Mines' Mike Zimmerman in the Roadrunners' 5-0 win Oct. 16.

Kalman was injured in the play when he hit his back on the goal post. He was taken to St. Anthony's Hospital by ambulance, and later released. He injured the muscles ~ adjacent to his spine and was suffering mus-

cle spasms, said Joyce Holte, MSC athletic trainer.

"When you play a team like this, you want to put them away quick and get it over with,'' Chambers said.

Chambers has been using a new lineup since the New Mexico game Oct. 10.

"We move the ball better now, " Chambers said. "We have more intensity and work in the middle better."

After a 20 minute injury delay, Mis' Mrak scored the final goal of the game on a hard outside shot.

Mine's Kelly Ruder, D.J.'s younger 1 brother, missed the Orediggers' final scor-

ing opportunity on a penalty shot after Metro's Randy Tallent pulled a Mines player down on a shot inside the penalty box in the final seconds of the game.

The Roadrunners will play Westminster College Oct. 23 and Brigham Young Uni-versity Oct. 24 in Utah. Their next home game will be Oct. 31 at 2 p.m. against Air Force. The regular season finale will be at home against Colorado College Nov. 7 at 2 p .m. o
