Board censures center director Jim Manuel Robert Ritter

A board composed of members re­presenting Auraria's three institutions voted unanimously Sept. 8 to censure the Auraria Student Center's efforts to schedule a monthly ~ture--01Pries. .

The Student Facilities Policy Committee (SFPC) action came after members of the board gained possession of a flyer announcing a lecture by Don Bain as the first in the series.

Board member and MSC student govern­ment President Martin Norton said the censure "puts us on record as saying that we are scrutinizing what they are doing and if it is improper, then we can stop it. We can get an injunction."

Several board mem hers said they believe the lecture series conflicts directly with the programs of the MSC, CCD and UCD student activities offices.

Yolanda Ericksen, director of MSC

McManus said he thought he was operating in good faith in creating the lecture series.

"All of this would have been out in the open in a couple of weeks. There is a calendar being made with the whole schedule on it that was supposed to have been done by now, but got hung up in the iuaphics department," McMan is sa:<l.

The SFPC gives funding to the Student Center for the operation of the building, Norton said.

"The Student Center needs permission from the SFPC," he said. "The Student Center program director is supposed to work with the activities directors of the three institutions."

Norton cited Family Night, an aiinual open house for students and their families, as an example of how the three institutions and the Student Center can cooperate effectively.

Two Metro students present at the meeting voiced concern over funding of the serjes.

"(The censure) puts us on record as saying that we are scrutinizing what they are doing and if it is improper, then we can stop it."

Student Activities, said that while the lecture series seems advantageous because it creates more activity on campus, she thinks her office adequately meets the needs of the students.

"It (the lecture series) doesn't interfere with my job," she said. "What bothers me is that we have a lecture series and I think it's a good one."

Ericksen also said she wondered why the Student Center couldn't use the funding of the lecture series to offset the higher costs of the student IDs.

Gary McManus, director of the Student Center, said he believes no conflict exists.

"There are areas . pot being met by activities," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, fm just picking up where I left off last year."

-Board member Martin Norton

"It seems to me this is a duplication of services. I feel as though I'm being overtaxed," Lois Kaness said.

Diane T. Whitaker said she was disturbed when she first saw the flyer.

"When I saw this, I got upset because I was sure that's what we're paying Yolanda to do," Whitaker said. "The Student Center shouldn't be going off and doing their own thing. Some kind of policy needs to be set down."

Whitaker also said she thought the separate lecture series could carry other implications .

"The other thing that concerns me, it makes it look like AHEC is working that much harder to make this one institution instead of three," she said. D

Peace marcher treks across Soviet Union James A. Tabor Reporter

"We have better things to do than slaughter each other," says William (Dale) Malleck, a 72-year-old peace marcher and Metropolitan State College student.

"Survival is the first rule of life. We do not have the r ight to wipe out mankind's fu ture generations. We are all human beings and we have the same needs. We need shelter, food, to love and be loved," he adds.

A veteran of the year-long Great Peace March of 1986 from California to Washington, D.C., Malleck recently returned from the U.S.S.R., where he participated in an American-Soviet (Leningrad to Moscow) Friendship Peace March. The march covered 400 miles this summer from June 16-July 12.

Since retiring, Malleck has energetically devoted his time to the grass roots peace and nuclear disarmament movement.

------NEWS----Financial Linda Cuyler Reporter

The lines grow shorter every day. Fewer profanities spew forth from the

perky blonde coeds, whose hands are clenched in fisted rage.

And for the first time in about three weeks, mass hysteria and hatred have abated from the hallowed halls of Central Classroom 105.

Could these signals spell the end of "financial aid from hell"?

Maybe for a little while at least. According to Cheryl Judson, MSC's

director of financial aid, the delayed implementation of a new computer sys­tem, which allows financial aid calcula­tions to be done in about one-thirtieth of a second, set off a chain reaction of problems for students.

"If the computers had been up May l when they were supposed to be, we'd all be sitting around this office now in ham­mocks, munching on candy and reading novels, just waiting for students to come in so we could help them," Judson said.

But the computers were not up May 1, and the first financial aid award letters did not begin rolling off the printers until July 29 - a full two months after the June 1 target date.

For two days Judson, her staff of 13 state employees and about a dozen part-time work study students stuffed the award

Financial aid line first week of school letters into envelopes.

They were mailed July 31- only three weeks before the beginning of the fall semester.

In contrast, Regis College, with a student population of about 1,000, completed its award letters mailings within the second week of April for all students who had applied by March 15.

"And all the students who we[e ,9!,!_the financial aid wait list at that time were given a priority number and knew exactly

where they stood," said Karen Hvizda, assistant to the director of financial aid at Regis.

Of Metro's 17,000 students, about 4,700 have already applied for financial aid. Only about 1,700 of those who applied received grants before the grant money ran out.

According to Judson, a typical financial aid packag~sts of. one-third .grant money and two-thirds loan money.

Mass hysteria and hatred have abated from the hallowed hall_s o,f Central ClassroOm 105. Could these signals spell the end of ufinancial aid from helt'?

"But this year students don't want loans, they want gran ts," she said. "Metro students are very debt-conscious, very afraid of debt. They don't want to have to worry about paying back the loans. I think it has a lot to do with the economy in Colorado."

Consequently, about 800 students have appealed their award letters, hoping to reduce their loan eligibilities and increase

instantly. There just isn't any grant money," Judson said.

Judson sees the students' biggest problem as receiving the award letters two months late.

"If students had received their award letters when they should have, about June 1, they would have had time to get their game plans in order. But it was a week before classes and everybody was upset," she explained.

Judson added that money is an emotional subject, "but students have all these other emotions too: grades, spouses, kids, relationships. It's not easy on anybody. And it's not easy on the staff either."

DuringAugust,Judson'sofficesometimes hosted between 500 and 600 students daily who wanted to discuss their award letters. Phone calls poured in at the rate of about 53 per hour.

The campus phone bank, which was set up to answer general questions about MSC from Denver-area residents, pitched in for two weeks to help out with the flood of phone calls.

During one 24-hour period, the phone bank logged more than 750 calls pertaining to financial aid, Judson said.

She also warned that although the original eight-foot-high stack of financial aid applications now measures only eight inches, both students and staff should be prepared to face more funding challenges in the near future.

"We already have 1,800 Guaranteed Student Loan applications on file, and right now we are still only working on those submitted by July 8," she said.

To those students who submitted CSL applications after receiving their award letters in August, Judson cautioned that processing can often take up to eight weeks, and that students should begin looking for their CSL checks sometime around Thanksgiving. D

System efficient after one year

Software aids budget process Constitution scrutinized

Shirley Roberts Reporter

A new software package will streamline the budget management process at \1etro­politan State College, according to Tim Greene, vice-president of Business Affairs.

Installed in 1986, the Financial Reporting System is employed on several campuses throughout the country.

Greene said the FRS is very different from the old budget system, which had been in use since 1965. I le anticipates most problems will arise in the interpretation of the new printouts by FRS.

Greene explained that in the new system each of Metro's three schools (School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, School of Busi­ness and School of Professional Studies) and each department will have a budget divided into five main categories: salaries, benefits, supplies, travel and capital. There will be several sub-categories in each of the five major divisions.

As money is spent from each category or pool, FRS will automatically redut'l' the account by the amount of the expenditure, providing a running balance in all div­isions, Greene said.

The running balance is reflected in the printout, but pl•ople at l\fSC art' not used to seeing this kind of data on thl'ir financial reports.

Gret•1w said his goal is to bring an under­standing of the new budget reporting sys-

tern to all departments and users. He plans to accomplish this in three steps:

0 Preparing a manual c:larifying how to read and use the new print-outs.

0 Implementing departmental training sessions for all users, and

° Creating executive management sum­mary reports for all vice-presidents and deans.

If a pool is in danger of depletion, the budget manager can instantly see this in the print-out and move funds from other accounts to replenish the diminished fund, he explains.

"Students might become more involved in budget process."

-Tim Greene

Reviewing the executive summary reports will indicate which areas should recieve increased funding and which areas can be reduced. With a $35 million budget for the fiscal year alone, Greene said it is essential to know where monies can be most effectively distributed.

He said everyone - including students - will be invited to the training session.

"Students might become more involved in the budget process," he said. "Currently

a student trustee is involved through stu­dent government and students are involved through the student affairs board."

"There is student involvement, but is it enough?"

The major problem with the system now, according to Greene, is the lack of equipment.

Not every department has on-line access, but MSC will continue buying equipment

through 1988. By 1989, Greene hopes the entire system will be in place and fully operational.

Greene justifies the expenditure and time needed to install FRS because of the many advantages offered by the system.

"It provides so many additional reports and summaries, has faster on-line reading, and the automatic budget redistribution capabilities are tremendous."

He continues: ·'After one year, the sys­tem works well, but we need to move for­ward in training more people and dedicate one person to write the executive man­agement report summaries and work the bugs out of the system."

Enthusiastic and committed to FRS, Greene said, "It's a good system, we just need to make the campus aware of it and how to use it."

Shelley Barr Reporter

The Constitution, its history and durability will be scrutinized as Metro's Student Lecture Series presents, in part, "The Embattled Constitution." The all­day seminar is Sept. 16 in the St. Francis and St. Cajetan's Centers on campus.

The seminar's keynote speaker is Sarah Weddington, a nationally recognized at­torney for her victory in the landmark Supreme Court abortion case, Roe vs. Wade.

In her speech, Weddington will trace the Constitution and its legal development from first draft through 200 years of key decisions about its content. Literal and broadened interpretations will be applied to contemporary concerns: religious free­dom, individual rights, drug testing, pornography restrictions, and women's past and future under the Constitution.

Weddington, the first woman elected to the Texas House of Representatives from Austin, fought in her three terms for guaranteed credit rights for women, reform for Texas' rape statutes and equal con­sideration for both parents in custody cases.

Alumnus lands job Former Metropolitan editor and MSC

graduate Robert Davis began working as a reporter-photographer with The Montrose Daily Press recently.

Davis, 25, graduated this past summer with degrees in journalism and history.

His duties in Montrose, a southwestern Colorado farming and mining community of about 7 ,000, include covering county government, education, cops and courts and political campaigns.

He said the driving style of MSC's journalism department "helped get me ready for the daily drive out here."

Greg Pearson, chair of MSC's journalism department, said several of his former students have landed good jobs in the past few years.

"We do have a reputation of quality here," Pearson added.

Davis was editor of the Met for two years. During his tenure, the paper gar­nered many awards at annual competitions

Sport Death: a way of life

Eric Mees Assistant Editor

What do you call a lifestyle that includes parachuting off of smokestacks in Ohio for Greenpeace and contributing to counter­terrorism magazines?

Sport death. What do you call a novel about a super­

intelligent, hypersonic, laser-powered air­craft and the woman that flies it?

Sport Death. What do you call the man that comprises

the two? Robin Heid.

Heid, 33, an MSC graduate with degrees in journalism ('81) and political science ('86), has recently published a novel entitled Sport Death: A Computer Age Odyssey. Sport death is described in the book as the following: "a way of life: seeing how far you can push things, how much you can get away with and what happens when you go over the edge."

Heid first heard the term when he was skydiving at a place called The Gulch.

"The people there were pushing the limit, learning new things and dying in great numbers," Heid said.

And it seems that the man and the book both reflect the sport death way of life.

Heid takes chances. To make a statement about the acid rain situation in Ohio, he parachuted off an 1,100-foot-bigh-smoke­stack. He's been a private investigator, a candidate for U.S. Senate, a writer for the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, and among other things, a T-shirt designer.

He also takes chances in bis writing. He writes for both Cung-Ho, a militaristic journal, and TVI Report, a counter­terrorism quarterly that deals with corpor­ate national security. And be' s the executive director for a company called The Change Agents ("Strategic planning and communi­cations for business, education and polit­ics," says bis business card). One of his clients was former MSC president Paul Magelli. And he was also one of the found­ing editors of Metropolitan Magazine and a former sports editor for The Metropolitan.

Then there is Sport Death . Another chance.

The book isn't "rank commercialism in writing. Neither is it about constructing a book by committee," he says.

"It is unique. Completely integrated. I did the writing, editirrg, cover design and production."

Heid says that after Gary Hart read the book (in a little different form) he sug­gested it to his publisper. After rn years, they said they wouldn't publish it.

"If that's the way they treated a book recommended to them by a presidential

candidate, I didn't want anything to do with them. I rewrote it with a clear and constant intention of self publication."

On the surface Sport Death looks like your ordinary science fiction book. An extremely capable woman pilot teaches a super-intelligent computer how to fly an airplane and she ends up learning about life from it. All of this, of course, is sur­rounded by a government plot to use the ship to destroy a Soviet space station.

But if that's all you get out of the book, well, go back to Harlequin Romances.

The book is about issues. Issues like the government's unfailing ability to misuse technological advancements for their own destructive purposes (and to generally foul things up}.

Issues about how intelligent computers can become not only a learning being, but a teaching being, too. (Yes, 'being' is cor­rect. More later .... )

Issues about citizen's duties to take an active role in the running of government. It even deals with the second amendment (the right to keep and bear arms).

The book also touches on love. And Heid points fingers at rampant stu­

pidity in the world. Stupid government. Big egos. Weenies. Recklessness. And a lot of other things.

Listed in the back of the book are 23 other books that Heid drew on when writ­ing Sport Death. He says that his book is sort of a condensed introduction to their concepts. He feels it is important for responsible citizens to read these books. They range from Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception to Chuck Yeager's autobiography to Zen and the Art of Motor­cycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig.

A key to this book would be to read the glossary before the rest. And refer to it often.

Further hints. The weaving, twisting, winding conversations between character's thoughts are like they are, because they "looked right and felt right" like that, says Heid.

What about reality? Could Sport Death happen?

"An aviation historian I know read the book and he said that now black project (top secret) people can read about what they can't talk about," Heid said.

And as far as the military and political experiences in the book, well, Heid has his sources ....

Intelligent computers like Chuck, the main computer character, are also nearing reality.

"With the progress on superconductors in the last six months, Chuck is on the horizon. He's no longer just a mirage. The Ravens are comin' _ babv."

------OP-ED Students, officials partners • • 1n crime

We are all guilty of a crime. And surely a crime has been committed here at Metropolitan State College.

No one was burglarized or raped. Yet, the fact remains, a crime has been committed.

The crime- allowing MSC's Financial Aid Depart­ment to run rampant.

Oh, we could make allowances for a record-setting number of applicants and a new computer system, both overwhelming a small staff of 13 people.

But before you do, stop and think. Have the actions or this one maaequately run depart­

ment forced you to beg, borrow or steal toJTiake ends meet? Have you been forced to drop out because the Guaranteed Student Loan you so des­perately needed got lost in the shuffle?

Or are you just plain frustrated because the "sys­tem" according to them (financial aid officers) says you make too much money-we all know how lavish students live - to qualify for aid?

If you can answer "yes" to one of these questions, you are as guilty as the people- and here I'm being

Letters

kind -who work on the other side of the counter in the financial aid department.

I'm guilty too because th is is not the first time I've suffered at the hands of this mismanaged depart­ment. But I intend to make restitution to MSC's stu­dent body. I rntend to send this editorial to Dr. Ful­kerson and Gov. Romer as S.K.C. urged in the letter printed in the Sept. 4 issue of The Metropolitan. (And isn't it an injustice S.K.C. fears signing his or her name to a letter that was obviously painful to write.)

"Excuse me a moment while I scream," S.K.C. said in the letter.

I'd like to scream too. It's either that or kill some­one in the financial department, which, by the way, is also a crime. (Or is it?)

J ustfor the record, my student loan is being processed for the second time. Not bad considering I submitted the paperwork in April. Continually I monitored the activities of this department. One time I checked, they were just beginning to process loan applica­tions for the summer session, which, by then, had been in session one month.

I digress for a moment if only to pull more of my hair out. They tell me it will be another four to six weeks to process my loan.

Come on now people: students, professors, MSC administrators. Justice has not been served. Our inaction is just as wrong as watching a stabbing and then retreating into the safety of our homes, afraid to become involved.

The passive principle of uninvolvement is simple. It Qoes like this:

"Why should I be the one to step forward? What if the system fails and my neck is on the line?"

Two crimes have been committed here. One, the obvious, is written on the faces of those

wronged by the financial aid department. And the second weighs on the hearts of the uninvolved.

So take the time, at least, to judge. What punish­ment do we inflict on this department to see that justice is served? How do we make them PAY?

- Pamela Rivers Assistant Editor

Metro student • curious about cash flow Dear Editor:

As a student of Metro, I pay per credit hour per semester $48.00 for tuition, a $13.00 fee for athletics, a $16.00 activity fee and a $21.00 bond fee.

I know that my activity fee goes to pay for programs such as Campus Recreation, the Health Clinic, Student Publications and Student Activities. Specifically, I know that Student Activities provides a Lecture Series each semester, as well as a Special Events Program which provides bands and other live entertainment and activities in the Student Center.

I know that my bond fee is supposed to go to pay off the bond, or in other words, the loan for the land that the buildings of Auraria are built upon as well as the construction and maintenance of those buil­dings. Auraria Higher Education Center or AHEC, the self-appointed "fourth institution" on this campus of three institutions of higher education, has a contractual obligation to the bond-holders, or those businesses or individuals who made the loan by buying the bonds, to pay them back with the $21 .00 bond fee I pay per credit hour per semester as a Metro student. This is the money that the Auraria Student Center uses to operate.

I noticed this semester that the Auraria Student Center has been sponsoring several activities; to date, a back to school party in the Mission (the bar in the Student Center) and a monthly lecture series, the first speaker being Mr. Don Bain. This troubled me, to say the least, to know that my bond fee was being used to pay for a party and a lecture, the very same activities that are provided for me via my own institution's Student Activities Office which is funded by my $16.00 activity fee (per credit hour per semester).

In order to be the informed student I try to be, I decided to go to the Student Facilities Policy Council meeting, which is the committee made up of students and representatives of the three institutions and which acts as the advisory board for the Student Center. The Director of the Student Center, Mr. Gary McManus sits on the SFPC in an ex-officio capacity. He seemed like the person to question in regards to why my bond fee was being used to do the programming.

I did question Mr. McManus, along with several other concerned Metro students, but I didn't get any answers. What we were told was that the money being used to do programming was actually revenue money generated from the vending machines on campus as well as the sale of food in the cafeteria. We were also told that there has always been programming done by the Student Center, but that it wasn't a line item in the budget which has always been approved by the SFPC. I happen to know that the budget that was presented to the SFPC by Mr. McManus this year included a "Project Coordinator" who would work closely with the Student Activities Directors of the three institutions in regards to programming in the Student Center. This budget was not approved by the SFPC, but since the SFPC is only an advisory board, this is the budget that Mr. McManus is working under.

Needless to say, I left the meeting even more troubled and full of questions than when I entered it. So what if the money that the Student Center is using to do programming is generated by revenues, it's still my money, still STUDENT money. If the Student Center is making so much extra money that they can afford to do programming that I'm already paying for through my institution, why can't they pay off the bond early and lower my bond fee? Doesn't Auraria have to honor the contractual agreement they have with the bond-holders to use the money that is collected from the students through the maintenance and operation of the Student Center, or through the bond fee, to pay off the bond? Why should I pay twice for the same programs? Why don't the prices in the cafeteria go down, if they are making so much money? Why hasn't the Student Center "Project Coordinator" come down to talk to the Student Activities Directors about programming? Why can Gary McManus spend student money any way he wants without any input from those students? Why has the Student Center always done programming without it being line­itemed in their budget?

I'm tired of asking questions and not getting any answers. I think that any students who are concerned about this issue need to see some action. Let's make Gary McManus accountable for the way he spends

our money. Let's MAKE the SFPC MAKE Gary use the money he makes in the Student Center to retire the bond, NOT to do programming we already pay for.

The Metropch\tan SCptember 11, 1987 7

Metro prof speaks out for DiPaolo Laurence DiPaolo's grievance against MSC has, •

as readers of The Metropolitan know, been decided in favor 0f the in.stitution by John Phillip Linn, Pro­fessor of Labor Law and Arbitration at D.U. And now many of DiPaolo's students and colleagues -and the editor of The Metropolitan - are wondering why someone of his achievements and talents was forced to take extraordinary measures to obtain a perman­ent full-time position at MSC. One would think (they think) that MSC would be delighted and proud to count such an accomplished teacher/writer/critic among its full-time faculty - "an outstanding teacher," to quote from the hearing officer's written judgment against DiPaolo, whose "scholarship is unquestioned" and whose "activities outside the classroom have brought honor and national atten­tion to MSC ... "

There is not need here to rehearse Di Paolo's intel­lectual and academic virtues; the evidence is readily available and overwhelming. So overwhelming that James Vanderhye, the voice of MSC atthe grievance hearing, seemed disinclined to contest DiPaolo's outstanding record of service to MSC. John Sprad­ley, chair of the English department during eight of Di Paolo's twelve years at MSC and not a person to use superlatives carelessly, characterizes DiPaolo as "brilliant." It was part of Spradley's job as chair to make such judgments. The current chair of the English department, Jan Delasara, testifying under oath or affirmation at the grievance hearing, said that she has no complaints about DiPaolo's teach­ing. Even Professor Linn, the hearing officer, was moved to write that "In light of Grievant's accomp­lishments the undersigned can appreciate fully why students and many faculty members are concerned about Grievant and are desirous to have him in a full-time position at MSC."

So, what's going on here, "students and many faculty members" want to know, when someone who has "brought honor and national attention to MSC" cannot attain a permanent position at the institution he has benefitted while so many forgettable souls do enjoy such positions? Does a staggering insensitiv­ity to merit or a monumental hypocrisy, as angry protests have suggested, explain the matter? "Neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet ... "The impulse to moralize is strong when one feels oneself to be knee deep in the amorality of the pigsty.

As I have suggested, however, MSC does seem to recognize Professor Di Paolo's achievements, albeit in a complicated, ambivalent way, and has acted toward him in a manner consistent with that ambi­valent recognition. The question becomes, then, not "Why cannot MSC recognize and reward excel­lence?" but rather, "Why does MSC, in recognizing (say, Professor DiPaolo's) excellence, wish to pun­ish it?" to paraphrase another witness at the grie­vance hearing.

. ,

That is the intriguing question: what interest does MSC serve by attempting if not to banish the excel­lence in teaching and writing represented by Profes­sor DiPaolo then to prevent it from permanently occupying a place within the school? Why does institutional logic demand Di Paolo's exclusion?

Clearly, the institution and its agents in the Eng­lish department do wish to exclude Di Paolo. Profes­sor Linn submits that "Grievant's full-time service in an exemplary manner ... is not found to establish any legal basis for claiming regular full-time faculty member status." Does one note a wisp of regret threading through the sobering constraints of this quasilegal idiom? Consider the following clauses as they coordinate reason, equity, and wisdom against that diminished "legal basis": "It may reasonably appear unfair and unwise to retain a teacher of Grie­vant's qualifications in a temporary position, but the undersigned, unfair, and unwise, but it is legal, and MSC seems pleased to occupy that mingy, exclusive low ground.

Though reason, justice, and wisdom would pre­sumably include Professor Di Paolo, the law excludes him, and MSC isa law-abiding institution. In fact, it is a law and order institution, policing the academic scene to enforce a rigid code of intellectual homo­geneity. Reflect on, for a moment, its second exclu­sionary device. As Mr. Vanderhye disingenuously argued at the grievance hearing, and Professor Linn dutifully recorded, "There is an established proce­dure for acquiring the status of 'faculty member.' Grievant has admittedly never applied for considera­tion as a faculty member and, consequently, he has never been considered for such status." Professor Di Paolo has never been considered because he has never applied - "How can we consider him if he hasn't applied?" asks MSC in wide-eyed wonder­ment. Professor Di Paolo has not a'pplied because he has been expressly excluded from applying by the requirement of the Ph.D. for every recent permanent full-time position in the English department (except­ing journalism and creative writing), a degree which he does not hold. MSC has for years had the oppor­tunity to accomodate Professor Di Paolo's desire for a full-time position; instead it has chosen to exclude him. That it could have included him is evidenced by a recent announcement for a full-time position English that was tailored very neatly to fit the expe­rience ·and qualifications of another temporary full­time member of the department.

Why not DiPaolo? Why would MSC choose to shoot its corporate self in the foot rather than embrace Professor DiPaolo's obvious excellence? What institutional commitment would that admis­sion compromise? I think the answer is the Ph.D. More than just a convenient mechanism of exclu­sion, that degree occasions and emblemizes the cur­ious double logic by which DiPaolo's merits are simultaneously acknowledged and discredited.

Although it would take a philosopher of the mock­heroic to trace fully the Swiftian ironies generated by this sort of thinking, I can indicate its main lines by reference to the notions of academic discipline and professionalism.

To receive a Ph.D., one must submit temporarily to the discipline of the profession by accepting metho­dological and ideological restrictions concerning what one thinks about, how one thinks about it, the language one thinks in, and the value of that think­ing. Having been mastered by the discipl ine (as demonstrated by exams and a disseration). one can then exchange estates - from one who is mastered to one who masters a discipline: one has been initiated, or professionalized. One is now set free, becomes a master, joins the club: boundaries have been set, academic bloodlines recognized, exclu­sive membership granted: just as in, say, the Daugh­ters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) , one now walks the walk and talks the talk.

Professor DiPaolo doesn't talk the talk, so his excellence, no matter the view of outsiders (stu­dents, the publishing house that has commissioned him to write a book on Gore Vidal, Gore Vidal him­self) , cannot be genuine. Mere students, publishers, world class authors- and hearing officers- simply don't possess the professional or d isciplinary crite­ria to judge accurately. Those who have been disci­plined and professionalized can judge accurately (in this scheme), and they know that, whatever its spu­rious appearance, Di Paolo's work cannot be authen­tic because it is the product of someone by definition undisciplined and unprofessional ized. He doesn't­he cannot - talk the talk. How else can one explain the insidious interpretive logic that takes without other evidence excellent student evaluations of instructors sometimes to signify excellent teaching but at other times (in Pl'Ofessor DiPaolo's case) to signify students being snookered by what must have been unprofessional currying of their favor?

Of course, the discipl ine leading to the Ph.D. can liberate one to an enlarged and inclusive sense of intellectual accomplishment and diversity and a pos­itive recognition of the functi.ons and relative merits of boundaries. It does not have to shrink into a mis­erable, mean-spirited, jealous parody of profession­alism that expresses itself in an anal-retentive ideol­ogy dedicated to obsessive policing of the club's protective fencelines.

It doesn't have to, but it seems to at MSC. The trashier and more impoverished the intellectual and psychic property, the more vigilant the policing. Like the D.A.R. Small wonder, then, that Professor DiPaolo and the students pay the price. Large wonder, though, that people of DiPaolo's caliber persist in doing their jobs so well and in bringing credit to an institution embarrassed by an excel­lence it has neither overseen nor authorized.

-Terence Lohman Part-time Instructor, MSC English department on temporary leave

Former Di Paolo student speaks out. Dear Editor:

I was appalled and sickened by the article in your September 4 issue concerning the failure of Metropolitan State College to renew the contract of Mr. Larry Di Paolo. As a past student of Mr. Di Paolo's, I can personally attest to the excellence and creativity of his teaching methods, and the vitality of his course contents. It is obvious from the information presented in the article that Mr. Di Paolo is the victim of arbitrary and capricious bending of the bureau­cratic regulations to suit the personal preferences of an insecure department chairman without regard to

his professional qualifications, popularity with the students, or his effectiveness as an instructor.

The greatest disservices resulting from this inci­dent are rendered upon the student population. Not only do we have to endure a cavalier department chairman who is capable of this type of inconsiderate and ineffectual decision making, but we are deprived of the services of an outstanding instructor. It is indeed a sad day when the system for ensuring that the students receive an adequate education from qualified instructors is manipulated so that the opposite occurs.

I feel that to correct this injustice, Mr. DiPaolo should be reinstated as a full-time instructor and receive back pay for the Spring and Fall 1987 semesters. I furthur submit that students should not register for any classes taught by Ms. Delasara until the situation is rectified. The students must act to show their dissatisfaction with these events, or else the corruption evidenced will continue to grow.

Sincerely, Anton G. Camarota

A Taste of Chad Morris Reporter

Taking a deep breath, I enter the mael­strom of the Fourth Annual Taste of Colorado Festival.

Whirling above me with a banshee wail is the Super Loops ride, part of the carnival mid-way section of the festival.

Super Loops consists of a roofed-over roller-coaster car attached to a vertical l'oop-sba"tied track~ When the ride begins, the car swings like a pendulum until it gains enough height to go around the loop. I think the . idea came from those machines astronauts' stomachs are tested with.·

But that is only the beginning. I've only scratch~ the surface of this huge event. ' As I J:Qnve through the crowds surroun· ding Civic Center Park, unsuccessfully dodging dogs and baby strollers, I can hear J3lood, Sweat and Xears, one 6£ the headline musical acts, crashing through "Spinning Wheel." Ever~Jlere I look there ate people and

food, people and drink and'more people. My press-kit had told me 300,000 people were expected to ~how up f!)r this or~ of the taste .buds. I think theV!ill deddoo to show up the same day I did.

Moving toward Broadway where most of the food is, I pass through the crafts area. It's too bad I'd already mailed for my adjustable combination hot dog/marsh­mallow roasting stick; I could have gotten one cheaper here.

Finally, after using an old football move: on a Great Dane named Moose, I see the restaurant booths lining ho.th sides of the street.

A rich barbeque smell hits my nose and suddenly I have a purpose in life. After all, I'm supposed to cover the event. What bet-ter way than to try as many dishes as ,,, possible?

After purchasing my strip of tickets, I am on my way. Atthe TasteofColora9o, food and driilk aren'tboughtwith cash: Instead, everyone buys tickets, which are then traded for food.

raviolis. The raviolis, py the way, are out of this world.

But half the ftm of this festival is not the food, and not the music, but the people · who come. Westword should have given this an honorable mention in the "Best Place to People-Watch'' category.

In the span of a minute, one. can see middle-aged housewives, mohawked punks, Hell's Angels and Yuppies. ~e really amazing thh1g about ~s mass

of hWn:anity is the fact that everyone.seems to get along. There are DO fights, riots OT ,,.

even name-calling. People are not here to Jii fight> they are here to eat., .

Tickets in hand, I gleefully make my way to the food. This i.s heaven to the per­son who loves to eat. They have everything from hot dog$ to sushi, from Cajun spice drumsticks to white chocolate

Andeattheydo. T'veneverseeii'somany people eating com-on-the-cob in my life. I've~ever seen, so manypeople eatipg. 1f

It is like taking a slice from every walk of ~¥ life in. Colorado, packing them into Civic Center Park and then giving themf!,,license \ to do whatever they WIU)t. ''' ' :>

This festival i.s fun. A per$on can spend hours moving fr.om booth to booth, listen­ing t9 any one of a .dozen bands and ... munching on ·food from any one of 4-0 ,,. restaurants,

~asically, this is a really good vd:#Y to see what Denver has to offer in 'f~ and music. It also provides a good glimpse of the inhabitants as. well .

So if you didn't mai(~ it this year, try'!i!f;, again next year. Be sure to watch your toes around baby strollers, though, and don't get scalped by any little kids decorat~ with ,., war paint. ' « · · o ·

Peace marcher returns with Russian memories continued from page I

Believing that "our protection" (nuclear missiles) is more dangerous than "our enemies" (Soviets), he writes, lectures and walks for peace.

He started walking six years ago after open heart surgery.

"I started walking for my health. Now I walk for peace and I feel healthier than I have for 30 years. I'm a senior citizen with a purpose - peace. That makes all the difference in the world," Malleck explains.

Malleck spent last year leap-frogging ahead of the Great Peace March of 1986, setting up porta-potties. Every mile of the 3, 700 mile trek that he walked increased his conviction that governments - not people - are dangerous.

"I try to stay away from religions and governments. Governments teach us it's 'us' and 'them.' They (government) have led us to this dangerous place today," he says. "I want to stop this so people can survive. People are important, not governments."

The Friendship Peace March idea was conceived near the end of the ctoss­country peace march.

According to Malleck, the American government said an American-Soviet peace march in Russia was impossible. Since the march veterans had already accomplished the impossible by completing the 1986 cross-country journey, they decided to try anyway.

"We (International Peace Walk, Inc.) sent four guys to Russia. They explained our plan to the Soviet Peace Committee. Eight months later, 230 Americans were on their way to Russia," Malleck recalls.

The Americans needed to raise $2,500 per person to pay for the trip's expenses.

Malleck raised his share of the money with the help of friends. The Kent Denver Country Day School held a fund-raiser in

his behalf, and MSC made a sizable con­tribution. The balance came from private sources.

Malleck was one of 22 Coloradans who participated in the march. Governor Roy Romer wrote a letter of endorsement for the peace and disarmament effort prior to the group's departure.

The marchers' first stop was a private school in Virginia. From June 8-J une 15 the marchers took part in an orientation program designed to ~cquaint them with Soviet life. The government invited dissidents to express their views of Soviet life; however, a Soviet embassy rep­resentative was barred from talking to the group.

Malleck missed most of the orientation. He elected instead to help pack and load the three tons of equipment and supplies for the march.

"I didn't get much of an orientation. That was okay with me. All they (gov­ernment) did was tell us about the bad things about Russia. As far as I'm con­cerned, a human being is a human being and if you've got a little love in your heart and compassion, you'll get along 'most anywhere,'' he says.

When the Americans arrived in the Soviet Union, they were met by rep­resentatives from the Soviet Peace Committee and joined by 130 Russian peace walkers.

The peace march began on a rainy day at the Piskaryevskoye Memorial Cemetery in Leningrad. The gravesite pays tribute to the 600,000 Leningrad dead from the 900-day azi siege during World War Il.

With misty eyes Malleck recalls, "As we walked to the memorial, people came out of houses and businesses to join us. They were carrying flowers and umbrellas. This one lady held her umbrella over my head,

protecting me from the rain as we stood before the memorial. She cried and I cried. When we were done, she hugged me and I hugged her. For a moment we shared our grief. Then we went our own separate ways."

For the next three weeks the marchers proceeded through the picturesque Soviet countryside. Sometimes the marchers walked and sometimes they rode in the 11 buses provided for the event.

Some nights they stopped at normal tourist spots. If none were available, structures were built out of wood and plastic covering, which helped shield the marchers during the many days of rain. Their meals consisted of beef, potatoes, vegetables and, sometimes, fruit.

"The food in Russia was excellent and there was plenty of it. It was much better than the food on the Great Peace March of 1986," Malleck recalls.

As the marchers crossed mile after mile of the Russian countryside, people lined up to welcome them at every crossroad. At each village and town, local officials would greet the peace marchers.

Someday we'll look and maybe see, The special good in all of we.

William (DaJe) Malleck

"Their public officials are pretty much just like our public officials. Politicians are politicians," Malleck says.

During their nightly stays at the various rest points, local chorus groups and dancers donned their native costumes to welcome the Americans.

At Movgorod, Russia's oldest city, the peace marchers were greeted by an estimated 100,000 Soviet citizens. An unprecedented celebration of welcome for the Americans took place, Malleck says. "The Russian hospitality overwhelmed me. Everywhere we went people lined the streets, offering gifts, hugs and kisses. I have never experienced such loving, caring people. We were accepted as heroes," he explains.

All along the march route Soviets displayed their appreciation for the Americans. Besides opening their homes to the Americans, they expressed their appre­ciation through chants of "peace and friendship."

MATINEES DAILY Call 571-1000

At one stop, a Russian mother saw that one of the American babies did not have a carriage. She ran home and got her carriage and gave it to the American mother.

Malleck especially remembers the last day of the march. Soviet dissidents wete allowed to talk to peace marchers without fear of retaliation.

"We were told that we could talk to anyone we wanted. We could ask anything we wanted; we could take any pictures we wanted. The last day, Soviet dissidents were allowed to talk with us without fe:ti­of harassment," he recalls.

Although Malleck manned the Soviet guardpost to ensure dissidents were not harassed while talking with the Americans, he had another appointment. He was unable to speak with any of the dissiden~ as 120 million Soviets awaited him. He was being interviewed by Soviet television for a one-hour show that was to be aired at a later date.

On the evening of the last day, the Americans and Soviets had a spontaneous party. The celebration was for the warih friendships found and mutual goals desired, Malleck says.

"The logistics of this trip were incredible. There were some problems, but we wound up being friends. The last day we had a pai:ty. Somebody took off his shoes. PretsY soon everybody did. We made a huge peace sign with them," he recalls.

Perhaps the most precious memento Malleck has from the march is a letter Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev sent to the International Peace Walk committee. Gorbachev expressed his thanks and'· congratulations on a successful march, Malleck explains.

"We walked across America and Reagan snubbed us. We walked in Russia for three weeks, and Gorbachev sent us a letter congratulating us. In Russia we were praised and welcomed everywhere we went,'' he says.

Malleck adds talks for another Russian­American march have already started -this time to be held in the United States.

''I've already told them to send me an application. I want to go," he says.

Now when it's time for the next peace march, Malleck wilJ again take the first small step for mankind and the next step for peace between humans.

I was almost killed the other day. Last Thursday (Sept. 3), I was just

minding my own business, driving down Larimer Street trying to find a place to park within a hundred miles of the school. I was going to tum left on to Eighth Street. The light was red, so I stopped behind a Subaru.

The light changed and the Subaru and I both started to tum. The next thing I know, some crazy woman in a black Lincoln Continental comes barreling up behind me from the wrong direction. I swerved into the next lane to avoid hitting her. She

{.:. barely missed. In that split-second of near-death, a lot of

things went through my head. The first was, God, I'm going to die. The second was, Don't you even know you're going the wrong way down a one-way street? The third was, Gee, I could sure use the insurance money.

I remember looking over and seeing her smile as she sped past me.

Yeah, right. My life is worth a smile. I sped up a little to glare at her. Her

90-year-old mother was in the car with her. i..: So were her two kids. The grandmother

looked embarrassed for her daughter . She also looked a little pale. The kids must have thought it was neat. Their mother was an actual law-breaker and all. They laughed.

More thoughts went through my head. Jeez, I should' ve let her hit me just to prove

;! to the rest of the world that she was wrong. Can you read lips, or will the finger do?

But I didn't do anything. I didn't glare. I didn't flip her off. I didn't even write down her license number (what good would that do?).

I just got mad inside. I think it's okay to make a mistake here

and there. I suppose I've a made a few. But the general quality of drivers around Denver is ridiculous.

"/ think that the government should have some sort of I. Q. testing when issuing licenses."

Every day when I drive to school, some idiot takes it upon himself to cut me off, run up my bumper or otherwise scare the hell out of me.

I don't even want to talk about the grandmothers with the Buick LeSabres who can't even see over the steering wheel and always drive 10 mph under the speed limit. Are they trying to bore me into submission?

I think that the government should have some sort ofl.Q. test when issuing licenses. Anyone can make enough right guesses on that stupid driver's license test. They should ask pertinent stuff like "How many tires does your car have?" and "How many cylinders does your engine have?"

While they're at it, they should outlaw a few things that make people stupid. Like power steering and power brakes. And automatic transmissions. If cars are too easy to drive, then they aren't as fun and people won't be able to react in an emergency because they'll be lulled into a stupor.

And air conditioning should be abolished, except in Texas, Florida and Kansas (it's too hot) . Air conditioning just adds to that general bored feeling and a little fresh air is good for you anyway. •

Back to stupid drivers. What about those idiots who try to run

you down while you're crossing the street? I want it known that from this day forth, no "points" will be awarded for running down helpless pedestrians. I realize that some­times they deserve it, but it may be me one day. Or you.

Around this town and this campus -walking or driving - it doesn't seem like a person has a chance.

So to the stupid suburban motorist who almost killed me, I say, No thanks. You take your Lincoln and your furry steering wheel and stay at home. D

Metro volleyball team impresses in tourney Renee Allen Reporter very strong against our conference

The MSC women's volleyball team won 10 out of 16 games to place second in the preseason Colorado University Tourna­ment last weekend.

They swept a four-game series against Denver University, won three of four games against both Colorado College and Regis and lost four games to CU.

Johnson said she will use a new offense • this year because she has two very effective setters as opposed to last year's one.

'Tm pleased at this point, but you never know. Overall we did well, coming in second only to CU," she said.

Coach Pat Johnson said she was im­pressed with Metro's performance in the tournament.

Karl Braun Reporter

The men's soccer team won their season • opener when they beat the University of

Colorado - Colorado Springs 4 - l last Friday.

UCCS scored five minutes into the first half but Mitch Gorsevski tied the score five minutes later.

Metro outshot UCCS 31-10 with junior ,_ Mike Wachter assisting on all four goals.

"Something happened early but it wasn't much of a match after that," Coach Bill Chambers said.

"We dominated all aspects of the game," Chambers said. "The score could have

been eight or 10 more, but then you're talking about playing the last place team in the league."

"We have a lot of game players," Chambers said. "They don't seem to look that good in practice but they work well in games."

Junior Jeff Fletcher scored two goals and Larry Puls had one.

"I look at the strength I have on the bench with all-state high school players and strong college players and see a good season," Chambers said.

Not only does Heid see computers like Chuck soon, he also sees them becoming what Socrates called the "philosopher­king" or Nietzsche called "Ubermensch" (Superman). A super intelligent being (a being man will have created) that could not only collect all man's knowledge, but learn from man's mistakes.

Heretical? Reality? Wait and find out. "Whether I'm right or wrong is not

important," said Heid. "Process is more important than position. It's more impor­tant that I take a position than to be right."

Now Sport Death is off and into the sales world. Heid is currently working on the second book in the trilogy. It's called Lorien and will be available in probably another one-and-a-half years. Lorien will deal with more philosophical and political ideas.

"It'll be about Islam and the West and what we should do with our space capabil­ities and the Ravens."

What else? Who can say. Heid says that he writes with a general direction in mind, but he just lets it rip wherever it leads him.

"Sometimes even we still fall into the rut of thinking every program has to be plan­ned out to the Nth detail. / Boo Hiss./ Gotta leave room for the dance" (from the book, page 173).

Where does Heid get off writing a book like this? Well, no one said you had to like it. Just think about it. And hey, let's be careful out there.
