Senate's '90budget multiplies Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

The 1990-91 student government budget proposal sur­prised many student senators at the March 14 meeting. Th~ proposal, submitted by ASMSC President Kelly

Martin, called for expenditures totaling $92,910 for the next year. An increase of almost $43,000 over this year's budget. The budget was reviewed line by line and ~ the senate 8-2.

A portion of the increase can be attnbuted to the $25,000 necessary for Metro's 25th Anniversary celebration.

But there were some concerns among senators over other "inflated" totals the proposal contains.

Listed under Personnel, which allocates $38,160 in wages, was a new item, called Senate Incentives, a $6,000 portion of that.

This money would be used for either parking privileges and/or meal tickets for senators, judicial board members and SA CAB members, all of whom hold unpaid positions.

"The business that this government needs to be doing for the students is going to take this kind of reimbursement," Sen. David Beal said.

Beal, who was a presidential candidate but dropped out of the race, proposed his own budget ideas calling for approximately $154,000 in total expenditures. Beal also included a senate incentive section that required $9,450. Although his proposal wasn't considered, he expressed his

~ ideas fervently.

Speaking in favor of Martin's proposal, vice presidential candidate Meichell Walsh said, "We're not paying them (those mentioned above), we're compensating them for the ;:est of coming down to this campus."

But Sen. Kevin Miller made a motion to strike the senate incentives from the budget.

"If you want to be a senator, you're gonna do it because you want to do it for the students," be said.

Sen. Jeremy Stuhl said the senators should have some recognition for the job that they do.

Walsh agreed with Stuhl saying, "We are paying the vice president and president $500 and $600 and we can't have a parking space? Give me a break."

When ·a consensus couldn't be reached, senators asked SACAB representative Dan Becker to offer his opinion.

" ... I would suggest that you think twice about why you need money. And I would hope that you think twice about passing a budget inflated to a degree that is more than a 100 percent margin over when I started, and we are not 100 percent better," Becker said.

A vote was taken and the budget ~ overwhelm-ingly. D

CFC meeting held illegally Met Staff The Metropolitan

The Oub Funding Committee illegally held a secret ~on during an emergency meeting Monday, April 2, to discuss ~ible punish­ment against the Mile High Rangers, a club affiliated with ROTC and the military science department.

Although holding meetings behind closed doors is a breach of Colorado's Sunshine Law, student Sen. Michael Green, the chair of the CFC, expelled Metro students from the room.

According to Green, the meeting was held to discuss sanctions against the Mile High Rangers, whose president, Dave Hasenbalg, mistakenly listed CU-Denver stu­dents cross-emolled at the military science department as Metro stu­dents on a club funding request form.

Green asked Lt. Col. Larry Tatum, a professor from the military science department, and Hasenbalg if they wanted to meet without the press in attendance, pointing out a Met reporter seated in the room.

"In light of all that's happened ... yes," Tatum said.

Green ignored the Met reporter's objection. Student Sen. Angie Binder then told Green that the only reasons, by law, he is able to go into secret session are to consult with a lawyer or discuss real estate or personnel issues.

Green said that he was told by student government's former chief justice that he could hold the meeting to disa&; "'judiciary policy" and "disciplinary actions." _

Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, said CFC cannot make policy, only recommendations to the Student Affairs Board. "It's a grey area when it comes to disciplining a club," she said. The basic role of CFC is to allocate money to Metro clubs.

The CFC never voted to go into secret session. The Sunshine Law requires a two-third majority vote when the proper circumstances exist

The student senators serving on that committee had not been appointed to the CFC. Two student senators voting were from the Financial Affairs Committee and another was from the Campus Safety Committee.

Senators cannot arbritrarily sit on other committees, Thorpe said.

Binder and The Metropolitan filed charges against Green April 3, with student government's judicial board Both parties requested that the judicial board declare the actions of the CFC illegal and, therefore, void.

After the secret sesmon, the com­mittee voted that any sanctions against the Ranger be dropped, said Sen. David Beal, who sat on the committee.

Sen. Mlchael Green

Green said that the only thing that happened inside the secret session was that he denied the request of Tatum and Hasenbalg for a public apology and admission that the Mile High Rangers did not intentionally deceive the CFC when

they were funded the $1,000 for a brigade competition in Ari7.ona.

Last year, in a similar case, when the CFC held a secret session to discuss disciplining a club, the judicial board ruled against CFC. D

CoPIRG vote may not stand Sharon Dunn The Metropolitan

Metro students are going to have to wait longer than expected for the results of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group fee referendum.

At an Election Commission Meeting April 2, CoPIRG repre­sentatives and student Sen. Kevin Miller, discussed complaints over the tearing down of CoPIRG's support posters and recent harass­ments of CoPIRG petitioners.

Miller spoke for Students for Constitutionality, the club that gathered the petition signatures to put the CoPIRG fee on the ballot.

But the topic of debate quickly turned to whether law applies to a student election.

H state law does apply to the election, Miller said, CoPIRG's rights have been violated.

"The problem is that CoPIRG wasn't given proper timelines for protest (against the referendum) under state statute," Miller said.

Apparently, Miller said, there are supposed to be 30 days between a petition drive and the election, so that an organiz.ation can tum "in a

Sen. Kevin Miiier written protest against a referen­dum, under state law. CoPIRG has had only two weeks to protest.

'The applicability of state law to this particular situation is far from clear," said Norman Proviz.er, a political science professor who sits on the Election Commission.

Provizer suggested talking with the school's attorneys on whether state law applies to Metro's election.

But student government's lobbyist, C. Mason Golden, said he was prepared to go to trial on the matter and requested the refer-

endum results be held in silence, due to "reputable damage that CoPIRG has already received."

This is the second referendum that CoPIRG has dealt with since it was voted on campus two years ago.

"There is an increased fight against CoPIRG, and I do not believe that releasing the results of the vote is going to further assist in this," Golden said. "Damage has

. already been done." CoPIRG'sorganiur, Jon Goldin,

said that immediately releasing the results would cause more damage to CoPIRG's reputation if it lost the election and CoPIRG contested it

But by not releasing the results, Miller said that they would be "abridging the students' right'' to know how they had voted on a certain issue.

"There's no way to prove the damage that's been done," Miller said. "ff anything, this whole thing has gotten CoPIRG more support on this campus."

The chair of the Election Commission Jeremy Stuhl, said any complaints regarding the elec­tion will be heard April 16. D

Students relive voting rights march Lois Ann Kaness Special to the Met

Twenty-five years ago MSC student Wil­liam Walker participated in the Selma-to­Montgomery Voting Rights march.

This year he returned to Alabama to commemorate the 1965 march and to re­trace his steps on that significant stretch of highway.

Twenty-five years ago he marched to establish civil rights as a cause. This year he marched to rededicate himself to that cause - and to remind himself, and other Ameri­cans, that we should not take our freedoms for granted.

Like many other people, Walker, 41, was initially drawn to the struggle for civil rights by the eloquent speeches of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. King carried a message Walker could relate to.

"Rev. King came at a time in my life when I could no longer accept what older black men accepted in their lives. For many of us, he became a hero, a father. He ushered in a new era of black men. We became interested. We became involved. We wanted something different, something better."

King's enthusiasm inspired young Walker to take an active role in the civil rights movement. As a native of Montgomery, Ala., a community churning with desire for reform, he had many opportunities to parti­cipate.

Walker spent the summers of his high school years working for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He trained youth co-ordinators and participated in voter registration drives. He became a state co­ordinator for North Carolina and a youth leader for the Montgomery Improvement Association.

In both 1965 and 1990, Walker assisted the march co-ordinators. He traveled ahead of the groups to make certain that food and lodging were ready at the rest and sleeping areas. In 1965, his task was more compli­cated.

During that first march, Walker scanned the roadside trees and bushes to detect possible snipers, or signs of Ku Klux Klan activity. The fears Walker shared with the other marchers were well-founded.

Walker is among those who were beaten back by Alabama state troopers at Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965. Historians now refer to that date as "Bloody Sunday."

Walker said that, although there were

some fears of racial violence this year, "The young people who participated in this year's march can't fully comprehend what 1965 was like. Cognitively, they might understand; emotionally, they just can't. It's hard to understand what it's like being beaten for doing something you know is right"

Walker said that despite the civil rights movement, he believes black people in Montgomery are victims of severe economic deprivation, worse than what existed in 1965. He acknowledges the positive effect that black voters could have on this situation, but brings an insider's insight to understand­ing the reluctance some black people have to registering and voting.

"The old slave mentality is handed down," Walker said. "The kids are obedient and follow the same trends of thought as their parents. You respect your elders, and if they tell you voting will get you killed, you're afraid to vote. And people do get killed. That reinforces your fear."

Despite the fears, Walker said he sees evidence of change. "As in the early '60s, today I see a lot of youth unwilling to accept things from the same perspective as their parents."

According to Walker, the loss of strong family and community structures has exacted a toll on today's youth. "Parents are into drugs and not being at home. There used to be an elderly member of the family at home, or living on the street. And neighbors helped to look out for the kids and look after the neighborhood That support structure doesn't exist anymore."

Walker said that his involvement in the civil rights movement as a youth changed the course of his life, and that he hopes similar involvement will be a positive force in the lives of today's youth. He also said they should be prepared for the stress that sometimes accompanies devotion to a cause.

"When you offer your life for the right to vote, and people don't vote, it takes a toll because you are realizing what you wanted, but things aren't happening. When you march for a cause and the legislation that follows, you have certain expectations." Walker said that it's those unanswered expectations that create stress.

Despite his realiz.ation that our nation's human rights issues will not be resolved within his lifetime, Walker said he will always remain dedicated to the struggle for justice the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in­spired. D

Auraria's parking crunch will escalate with the closure of Lot F and Lot F-North to make way for construction of a 1,725-space parking garage.

Closure of the lots will eliminate 625 parking spaces, but there will be parking alternatives, Mark Gallagher, assistant di­rector of Parking and Transportation Services for Auraria Higher Education Center, said at a March 28 meeting to discuss the par~ng situation.

The four-level parking garage is expected to be complete in January 1991 and will ro;t $9 .5 million, Gallagher said. R.J. Alfultis, transportation services director, said the daily fee for using the garage is expected to be $2.

Lot F-North closed on Monday, April 2. Gallagher said alternatives to parking in

Lot F will include using lots C-South, WA, WB and the Auraria/Mile Hi Shuttle Parking lot. A parking decal is required to park in all of those lots.

Lot C-South is located east of Walnut Street, between Fifth and Seventh streets.

"Lot C-South has been expanded by adding 400 spaces, and we will be able to handle three lanes of traffic," Gallagher said. The daily parking fee is $1.25.

Lots WA and WB are located under the Auraria Parkway viaduct along Walnut Street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. The lots have a total of 175 parking spaces, and the daily fee is $1.

The Auraria/Mile Hi Shuttle Parking lot is located south ofMcNichol's Arena along

"The lot is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the shuttle runs every 10 minutes down to Lawrence Street," Gallagher said. "But on Fridays, the shuttle service ends at 6 p.m."

Eventually, additional parking will be available in Lot S, which will be located east of Speer Boulevard, along Auraria Parkway.

"The city has been unclear as to an exact starting time for the completion of Lot S,"

Gallagher said. "But we expect paving to begin soon."

In addition to the parking lot alternatives outlined by Gallagher, he said that Lot H .. will open one-half hour earlier.

"Right now, Lot H opens at 7 a.m.," he said. "Once Lot F closes, we will begin to staff Lot H at 6:30 a.m. In the worst case scenario, Lot H will be filled by 8:15 a.m."

Although there will be plenty of parking alternatives "a little flexibility" on the part of Auraria parkers ''will go a long way" toward alleviating the parking crunch caused by the closures of Lot F and Lot F-North, Gallagher wd. D

PEOPLE Student gets own Shanghai

I

surprise Carrie A. Vogel The Metropolitan

Opportunity knocked. Jenifer Gardner­Erickson listened. Having been offered the chance to teach English to Chinese students in Shanghai, she said, "Oh, of course I can teach English, no problem."

The Shanghai University of Finance and Economics hired Gardner-Erickson and her husband, Eric, a professor of economics at MSC, as a teaching team. The pair was sent to Shanghai on a professorial exchange program between MSC and SUFE in September, 1989.

An MSC art student, Gardner-Erickson said she had previously taught English to first graders at a school in Missouri and as a subsitute teacher.

"I was really frightened before we left because I couldn't imagine facing a class of college students because I am a student here," she said. "So, it seemed almost like I'd be trying to teach my peers."

However, she said she knew that the Chinese students would benefit from hearing her speak English and, as it turned out, teaching the Chinese students was easy.

"They gave me my text books," she said. "I went through and made a syllabus. I tried to make my lectures and assignments as interesting as possible. I tried to be innovative . as much as I could.

............... ,..... the much cheaper Chinese tour bus. The bus contained people from all over China, and nobody spoke a word of English. The Ericksons didn't speak Chinese very well, either.

So, on the tour of The Great Wall, a man named Chen from the Yunnan Province and his son, Chenjia, adopted them.

"Chen realized that we were really help­less," Gardner-Erickson said. "We couldn't understand what time we were supposed to come back to the bus or anything. So, he [Chen] started helping us.

"We had a guide book and [Chen] spoke a little Mandarin. Our phrase book was in Mandarin. So, we communicated (using) our dictionary and our phrase book and his watch. He soon realized that even just telling us what time to be back might not be enough because the bus might not be where they left it. So, he would not only tell us what time to be back, but where to find the bus."

By the end of the tour Eric and Chenjia were incredibly close. "We were sad to leave each other," she said.

For Gardner-Erickson, the whole China experience was moving.

MSC art student Jenifer Gardner-Erickson

"People were warm and genuine, in a way that I haven't experienced [in America] in a long time," she said. "We became close to people, both Chinese and foreigners. And so, there was this sort of bonding between people that I haven't experienced since I was a kid."

"The other thing I tried to do was be very comistent in grading and in lecturing, because I know, as a student myself, I appreciate that

"It's really incredible how strong bilingual education is in China."

All students at SUFE study English. Chinese students must pass an English test as part of the entrance standards to the univer­sity. At the university, many upper-level courses are taught in English.

Gardner-Erickson was invited to be guest of honor at the inauguration of the English amateur club on the SUFE campus.

"So I, as an English instructor and as a foreigner, was invited to be guest of honor," she said. The students performed songs in

English such as the Beatles' "Yesterday," and gave speeches. The students also asked her to give a speech.

"Here was a university club formed just to promote the practice of speaking English ... in China," she said. "I thought that was so wonderful. The whole thing was just so touching. I don't know how to describe it, really."

During their four-month visit to Shanghai, Jenifer and Eric were guests of honor at many functiom. The couple traveled a lot, once on a Chinese tour bus. Gardner­Erickson said their motto was ''when in China, do as the Chinese do, eat what the

Chinese eat, and go where the Chinese go." There are Chinese tours and foreign tours

She said she misses China and her students. She said she misses the warmth and friend­liness and the feeling of safety.

"I liked having students," she said. "It was kind of nice being at the other end of the class for a change. I hated grading finals. I'd much rather take a final than grade a final .

"As a woman, I really appreciated the freedom to go walking by myself at night with no fear whatsoever. I never had to worry about being assaulted. It really made me reafue what a violent society [America] is. People there may have had less individual freedom, but here, when you think about it, people lock themselves up in their houses at night. We're the prisoners at night. We live in a violent society." o

Fit To Be Tied By John C. Roper As I sit down and read the student government

election ballot, I can't help but think about all the recent Supreme Court hoopla over the death penalty.

Throughout the year, we have been subjected to student government's antics which have ranged from name calling and mud slinging to guns and racial slurs to articles in ''The Denver Post" covering their ado­lescent misadventures.

Some of these calamities were extremely humorous. Others were extremely embarrassing and contained the forethought of an empty-bellied tiger staring down its own offspring.

When I was in elementary school, I used to tease my sister to a point of rage that I thought would send her on a three-state killing spree. Her only defense was to sing out at the top of her lungs those words that still haunt me: " JOHNNY'S TEEEEEEAAAASING!" And my mother, moving swiftly as a leopard, would come to her rescue, deftly armed with a wooden spatula with which she had earned a black belt.

Not 10 minutes after receiving the Aunt Jemima treatment. I would resume with the ritualistic tormenting of my sister. It was always like the cartoons. I was the Roadrunner, she was the Coyote.

One time, after explaining to her that my G.I. Joe could beat up her Barbie, I tossed Barbie behind the couch and said she was a sissy. The chase ensued. But this time, I had a plan. As soon as my break-away speed took me down the long hall toward the bedrooms, I would open the closet door and wedge my foot behind it thus causing her to crash into the door and catapult to the floor. It was a cold, calcuated plan. And it worked! She came racing around the corner and down the hall and CRASH .. . THUNK!

"Just like the cartoons," I thought with pride as I closed the door to see if she was temporily malformed like when Bugs Bunny would hit Yosemite Sam in the head with a frying pan.

Only something was wrong. She lay on the ground, flat on her back and nose bleeding. My childish games were no fun anymore.

I sincerely hope that the next set of representatives will realize that the games have to stop. This is real life and you are representing real people at a real college, in a real city, in the real world. Many people have had their noses bloodied in this thing. Several have had much worse. Perhaps the most frightening combination on this planet today is guns and racism. We always say to ourselves, "This kind of thing doesn't go on around here." Well it does, and it did.

I feel like I've been cheated. In fact, many people have written or called to suggest topics to write about. One person asked me how the process of MSC adding "of Denver" worked. This one I can tackle.

First, President Brewer decideth that we needeth a name change to maketh us more credible.

Then, the students heardeth of this change and becometh dismayed and sayest amongst themselves, "This is a crock of shit and it stinketh!"

The student senators, whoseth biggest decision as thus was whethereth to serveth jelly rolls or crumb caketh, discussed this amongst themselves. "Yes," sayeth one senator. "But isn't it merely a pillar of dung for which no one can abide its odor?"

Pleased with their discovery, the senators went to their ruler, Kelly Martin. "It is a vessel containing excrement which has a fragrance for which is un­pleasant."

"Ahhh," gloweth the ruler. "But is it not a recepticle of that which holds a substance that possesses a bouquest which is tart?"

And the president rejoiceth and sayeth unto the world, "We now have that which will help us to grow and be fruitful in the Intellectual Kingdom!"

And that, my fellow Aurarians, is how shit happens.

McPhee~ attack 'baseless' Editor,

Regarding Robert McPhee's unwarranted and base­less attack on MSC political science professor Jett Conner, it's clear McPhee has never met Conner or taken one of his classes. As a former political science major at MSC, and a current part-time instructor in the political science department, I can attest to the teaching abilities of Conner, and his ability to inspire students to think critically about the American government. The great injustices of which McPhee speaks merely under­score Conner's point: bold leadership is no where on the scene and that Americans seem content with that. The S&L bailout, the regressive nature of the federal tax system, and the other ailments of which McPhee speaks reveal the great apathy that pervades this political system. Conner was merely arguing that he sees little sign that such apathy is waning.

McPhee's comments aren't simply an injustice to Conner, but are an insult to his former students, who, following McPhee's logic, are "uncaring, naive" and ·:second-class citizens." In the political science class I teach, I draw daily on the lessons I learned from Conner and other dedicated MSC and UCO faculty. I seek to encourage my students to question the values that pervade this society, and to consider its injustices. If I'm successful at all, I can thank Conner and other "corrupt members of academia."

If McPhee does indeed care about society, about the well-being of others, he ought to show it by thinking twice before launching a useless, pointless attack on an individual who has devoted his career to MSC and to the personal and educational betterment of his students.

UCDstudent looks to Met Editor,

As a CU-Denver student who is actually interested in what is going on on this campus, I want to tell you how nice it is that there's at least one paper where students can get important information about upcoming events.

Sadly, the CU-Denver Advocate is sorrily lacking in

this department. I don't know what their editorial focus is, but it certainly doesn't meet my needs.

Again, thanks! And keep up the good work.

CoPIRG: Enough already Editor,

CoPIRG's hand once again reaches deep into the pockets of Metro students. Not only do they grab three bucks a head from each student, using the deceitful negative check off system, but they hit up our student government for an additional $250 in order to bring Ralph Nader to the Auraria campus. And guess what, the student government just handed it over!

one on this campus is a liberal, do you? Why not invite speakers along the lines of William F. Buckley, G. Gordon Liddy or Senator Barry Goldwater? Are you afraid that conservative speakers might say something you (CoPIRG) don't like?

Do you not think that the money could be better spent on other students concerns? We do. We would like to salute and tip our hat to student Sen. Jim Capps and the other unknown senator whose name we cannot obtain, who voted against the additional expenditure.

We fail to see the need for additional expenditures and student funding for CoPIRG when they already collect such a substantial budget from the (four) Colorado schools they now receive money from. Maybe we, as the students of Metro, need to see the accounting ledger of CoPIRG. Where is all our money going? Are we getting our money's worth? We think not.

If Co Pl RG wishes to sponsor a political speaker, with student money, why is it that only one political viewpoint is represented? Certainly you don't believe that every-

We would also like to abolish the CoPIRG negative check off system now being used during registration. We would like to see a budgetary breakdown published in The Metropolitan so that all Metro students can see where their money is going. Say, CoPIRG, what have you done for us lately?

Earth Day needs student support Does this story have a familiar ring to it? A giant oil spill hits the coast of a large western state.

Millions of gallons of crude oil wash up on shore for weeks. The nation is riveted by television pictures of oil-soaked birds and dead fish floating in the ocean and washed up on shore. Oil company executives deliver excuses and claim it's a one-in-a-million disaster. Cleanup crews are dispatched, and millions of dollars

' are spent by state, federal and local governments in a cleanup and recovery program.

It's not what you think. This disaster happened 20 years ago near Santa Barbara, California. It remains one of the worst oil spills in American history. It also proved to be a catalyst in helping to awaken America's

.environmental consciousness. Some 16 months later, a much more significant phenomenon occured on April 22, 1970 - the first Earth Day.

It really all started in the summer of 1969 while I was on a tour of western states to talk about conservation issues. As I was flying to Berkeley for a speech to students - after inspecting the Santa Barbara oil spill

-c-. -1 read an article in "Ramparts" magazine about how teach-ins were being used by anti-war organizers to educate the public. Suddenly it occured to my - why not set aside a day for a nationwide teach-in on the environment?

The main purpose of Earth Day was to organize a _nationwide, grassroots demonstration that would get

the attention of the politicians and force environmental issues into the mainstream of American political debate. It worked. Earth Day 1970 was a huge success, and an instant American legend, due in large part to the tremendous energy, commitment and grassroots ac­tivities of college students all across the country.

On this date in the spring of 1970, the modern American environmental movement took off. Twenty million people, 2,000 colleges and universities, 10,000 grammar and high schools and 2,000 communities mobilized for the first nationwide demonstrations on environmental problems.

Plans are now being finalized for a worldwide Earth Day celebration on April 22, 1990. Let there be no doubt about the significance of this event: it will be the largest grassroots demonstration in history. The single most important objective of this 20th anniversary celebration is an international publ ic demonstration so over­whelming that it will literally shake the political leader­ship of the world out of its lethargy and galvanize it into a monumental cooperative effort to stop the de­struction and begin the restoration.

How much longer are the U.S. and the Soviet Union going to spend $600 billion a year for weapons that only increase our mutual vulnerability and dissipate our resources. It is time for the two superpowers to agree to cut spending on weapons by 50 percent In the next decade and another 50 percent In the following decade.

Half of the savings should be dedicated to programs to reverse and restore global environmental damage. It is a plan with no losers- and the whole world is a winner.

There has been some significant progress on environ­mental problems since that first Earth Day. Yet, merely maintaining the current programs and policies will fal l far short of what is needed to prevent continued steady environmental decline. The responsibility lies with the world's younger generation.

If society is going to develop a conservation ethic to guide its conduct, your generation must become the conservation generation. There is no other choice for the world. Your generation has the power to make a critical difference in the political course of the nation and the world. The first step is to join in the celebration and activities of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day next April. Beyond that, think of the future, have vision and make a commitment to a conservation ethic in you life. Cherish the air, the water and the land that sustains you and all mankind. Seize the opportunity to make a difference. Persist In your efforts, make the politicians listen - and act. You can prevail and win the fight to

save the planet. - Gaylord Nelson

Fair turns 9th into playground ... Jodie Skinner The Metropolitan

Children competed in a hula hoop toss, bounced balls into laundry baskets, attempted a mini obstacle course and ran off excess energy. These were just some of the unusual activities that took place Tuesday, April 3, in Ninth Street Park, as the children from Auraria's three child care centers turned the park into a playground The children brought · a smile to just about everyone who passed by and laughter to those who chose to sit for awhile.

The Children's Fair was a day for children and just one of the activities taking place for National Week of the Young Child, Debbie Jump, director of the Child Care Center, said.

Throughout the week of April l , the Child Care Center, Osage Center and the Child Development Center will provide activities for children and their parents for public recognition of the importance of the time from birth to age 8, Jump said.

Bea Romer, wife of Gov. Roy Romer, came to help kick off the fair. She talked about the importance of children and quality daycare and gave praise for the events.

A small boy named Taylor Huntington latched onto the hand of a man three times his height when the teacher told her class to find a partner.

"Come on T-man," the man said, "Let's be first."

The man, Huntington Brown, is Taylor's dad and found the fair to be a way to spend

some time with his son in a classroom environment.

"My daughter attended the center and this is Taylor's second year," Brown said. "I work as a teacher's aid for about an hour a week at my daughter's school and Taylor is constantly asking me to come to his class.

"Parenting is one of the least well-known • and one of the most important skills, and nothing can prepare you for it," Brown said.

Metro students Dana Ainsworth and Heather Catron, both education majors, sat on the grass in Ninth Street Park between classes. "We ended up sitting closer because of the children," Catron said.

"It (the fair) is a unique way of helping to create an awareness," she said. "And, from comments made by people passing by, I think it's working," Ainsworth said. D

'Handmaid' dismal view of future Paul Daugherty The Metropolitan

Before the end of this century the world will become a scary place.

It will not become a dust bowl after an all-out nuclear conflict. Road warriors will not be scavenging the land in search of precious fuel. Dan Quayle will not be president of the United States.

Instead, radioactive toxic waste wiJI make most women infertile and most men im­potent. The United States, engaged in civil war, will be ruled by an authoritarian government that renames the country Gilead. Women will be stripped of their individual rights and forced into a regimented life as breeders, or handmaids, to serve society's elite. Even worse, these women will be forced to wear cheap clothes from Sears.

This is the setting for Margaret Atwood's 1986 bestseller, ''The Handmaid's Tale," now a newly released motion picture from Cinecom. German director Volker Schlondorff (The Tin Drum, Swann in Love) and British screenwriter Harold Pinter

depict Atwood's bleak vision of a chaotic world characterized by lack of variety and choices.

Literally hundreds of the same outfits were ordered from the Sears catalog to give this film the appearance of a Stalinist society. Colors are used to denote the wearer's social status. Red is for handmaids, blue for wives and brown for "aunts."

The movie boasts an impressive cast, but its talents are dreadfully wasted in this pessimistic vision of the future.

Natasha Richardson, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, plays Offred, the handmaid around whom the story unfolds. She is a woman exploited for her ability to bear children. She becomes a surrogate for a cruel Faye Dunaway as Serena Joy, a former tele­vangelist, who is the wife of the sexist commander of Gilead's elite security force, played by Robert Duvall.

The commander attempts to impregnate Offred in a degrading monthly ceremony taken from a verse in the Book of Genesis in which the childless Jacob and Rachel perform the same act on their maid, Bilhah. The copulating trio wears clothing, but it didn't make this most difficult scene any less embarrassing to watch. You can't help but giggle when, at the ceremony's "conclusion," Duvall's expression seems to be an unper­turbed, "Where was I?"

But even in this somber and terrifying world there are allies to be found. Elizabeth McGovern is the rebellious "gender traitor," Moira, who befriends Offred, and Aidan Quinn plays the commander's chauffeur who is enlisted to hurry along the fertility rite by an anxious Serena.

The movie, however, takes itself too seriously. It tries hard to depict a gloomy, depressing society in the immediate future,

Natash Richardson a8 Offred, a handmaid, and Aldan Quinn a8 Nick, her lover, In "The Handmaid's Tale." but falls short in expla1mng how such a situation could have gotton so out of hand. It reveals the future as a reflection of events happening today, such as abortion, Nazi gangs, dictatorships and human rights vio-

lations, but it seems hard to imagine that such sweeping changes could occur so rapid­ly.

Also, none of the characters seem firmly entrenched in their religious military belief system. We're forced to make the ~umption that men are in control, but Duvall's character is weakened by his collections of such outlawed magazines as "Cosmopolitan" and "Vogue," and by a wife who is as domineering as we are led to believe men are.

Perhaps this movie's only ray of hope is an underground movement, known as Mayday, that Offred learns about from her ~igned shopping partner. But there's not much to cheer about since there is little development made of this group's plans for revolution. Instead, our only exit from this

grim future may be through the theatre's back door.

However, the setting is revolutionary and the film teaches us not to give in, even during the worst of circumstances. Perhaps this is the film's message, that no matter how bleak things may be, there's always a shred of hope.

Atwood's vision of the future is a disturbing one and the film is equally so. It's easy to lose sight of the film's political metaphors as you squirm in your seat. People go to see movies to suspend their disbelief and become ab­sorbed in the film's reality, but I found this to be an excruciating ride into madness and was anxious to get back to the real world and kiss the parking lot. You might be better off reading the book or attending a con­ference on world affairs. o

Program gives kids good time

Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

Looking for classes out of the ordinary for your children?

Want to find a summer activity to occupy them?

Do you like the idea of learning hidden deeply in fun?

Does it sound too good to be true? It isn't. Not for kids who will be enrolled this summer in the Enrichment Program at the Child Development Center on the Auraria Campus.

Program Director Marge Peterson said the key word here is "enrichment." Webster defines it as making something better, getting more value and quality. Peterson defines it as something added on, beyond the curricu­lum.

Whatever you call it, it means a good time for kids .

"Kids need a different approach," Peterson said. "We try to give them more informal hands-on experiences. The center doesn't attempt to accomplish a set curriculum."

The program has a "thematic" approach. Units run for two weeks and, in the past, have included such themes as magic and light, she said.

'When we examined a plant's home, we tied that In to science and looked at cells under a microscope.'

Reading, math, writing and science are all tied into the theme. When the children studied light, for example, they made ka­leidoscopes and photographic slides, Peterson said.

"Last year we had a four-week theme on structures," she said.

"The first week we learned about people's homes and saw a geodesic dome. The second week we had a man come to the classroom - he talked about a beaver's home. When we examined a plant's home, we tied that in to science and looked at cells under a microscope."

Peterson said the center can serve gifted children or children who just need to keep their skills active. The staff can also do some remedial work with children because the adult-tcrchild ratio is high, allowing for small groups and individual attention.

The classrooms are staffed by experienced "master teachers" and MSC teacher edu­cation students.

Both a "day program" and a "before and after program" are offered for children 5 through 9 years old. The day program runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the before and after program's hours are 7 to 9 a.m. and 3:30 to 6 p.m.

Two sessions are offered. They run from June 11 to July 6, and July 9 to August 3 .. The cost for each four-week moo is $220 for the day program, and $80 for the before and after program.

For an enrollment application or more information, call the Child Development Center at 556-2759. o

Sluggers win 5 Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

Metro's baseball team has snapped its 4-game losing streak by winning its last five games in decisive fashion, improving its record to 12-6.

Coach Bill Helman said the losing streak in California during the week of March 18 "might have shook us up a little. Now maybe we can get a good streak going." .

On April 3, the Roadrunners swept a doubleheader from Kearney State, 7-4 and 11-1 . Senior outfielder Ken Sutton and sophomore pitcher Sean Patterson were the stars of those two games.

games with Wyoming have yet to be re­scheduled.

On the road trip, outfielder Rusty Befus had a .700 batting average, including two home runs. He also hit one last Tuesday against Kearney State.

Jim Cluck hit a home run to lead a 9-1 victory over Fort Hays on March 31. Scott Novak pitched another one-hitter in the second game, a 12-0 Metro shutout. He currently has a record of 3-0.

"Usually we don't have two one-hitters in the same season and we've had two in the same week," Helman said. "Our pitching has been our most solid point so far (this season)."

Metro closed the Fort Hays trip with a 7-1 victory on April 1.

MSC baseball player, Rusty Befus, takes a klller cut. -.... Sutton cracked two home runs in the first

game and another in the second, bringing his season total to seven. In the 11-1 victory, Patterson threw a one-hitter and the game was called in the fifth inning because of the ten-run rule.

Also, in the first game, junior Ty Ortiz picked up the win for Metro. What makes this notable is that Ortiz is usually a utility infielder. Helman said he was pleased with Ortiz's performance on the mound.

Last weekend, the 'Runners traveled to Kansas to play Fort Hays and won all three games to start their win streak. Metro was scheduled to play doubleheaders against Wyoming and Regis on March 28 and 29, but all were rained out. The Regis games have been rescheduled for April 16. The

After Metro returned from its California trip, Helman said it would only be a matter of time before the team started hitting the ball well. Since then, Cluck, Befus and Sutton have all tied for the team lead in home runs with seven each.

Helman said this year's pitching staff may be the best he's ever coached. He has been the coach for 12 years. "Everyone I've got has done the job."

"Our hitting has yet to reach its full potential," he added "We could ~ibly be one of the best teams Metro has ever had."

Metro leaves April 5 for another weekend road trip before coming home to face Colorado State on April l 0. After that, six of their next seven games will be at home. o
