• Pl'Otest halts UCD referendum balloting

·l._ ___ b_y_S_a_I_R_u_i_b_al __ ___.I Conflicting interpretati9ns of · · the student government consitut-tion has led to the postponement of a referendum vore at the University of Colorado at Denver.

UCD Student Chancellor John Murray filed a protest with the ASUCD Judicial Board charging that the referendum election scheduled for Feb. 27 and 28 should not be held because the peti­tioning process was "flawed and illegal." The Judicial Board agreed to postpone the election less than 18 hours before the bal­loting was to begin.

The referendum proposed limitations on the power of the ASUCD Executive Council through a new appeal process. Murray is a member of the Executive Council. . Referendum sponsor Mike Maxwell called the move ' 'a de-

laying tactic.'' Murray based his actions on sections of the ASUCD consti­

tution that require that "all referenda must be publicized contin­uously for a period of 20 school days before voting begins." Ref­erendum sponsors posted notices of the pending election in excess of the required period, but Murray said the notices were ''advo-

cacy statements" and were not "fairly and objectively announced.''

Murray said the responsibility for the election is consitution­. ally the province of the Judicial Board, but the ASUCD Execu­tive Council By-laws also delegate specific responsibilities to the Council as far as the operation of the elections themselves.

The constitution says simply that the Judicial Board "shall supervise elections as provided for herein." The Judicial Board verified the signatures and scheduled the elections, but did not formally inform the Executive Council of the pending election.

The by-laws spell out seven specific areas of responsibility for the council, one of which is publicizing special elections for twenty days before the voting.

The constitution is voted on by the student body as a whole. The by-laws are selected by the Executive Council.

Murray said that since the Executive Council was not for­mally notified of the election, they could not perform the duties required under the by-laws.

Maxwell said the referendum sponsors acted in good faith and were never informed of the requirements stipulated under the by-laws. continued on page 5

John Mu"ay and ballot box: the petitioning process was flawed and illegal.

l

If a proposed bill becomes a new law, the roach clip used to smoke that marijuana cigarette could cost you a stiffer fine than the marijuana itself ... and all for'the good of society, according to the bill 's sponsors ..

When it's·spring time in the Rockies, governmental agencies start jockeying for pole positions in the fiscal year budget plann ing derby. Student government is no different and a few things are beginning to take shape in the stables.

Every year we are inundated with hundreds of foreign films but just because It's foreign doesn't rriean it's good. Metrostyle looks at a questionable Australian film and a record by a band that just might be the Beatles in disguise.

~ttews PT A. pushes paraphernalia ban by_ Karen Breslin j

If the Jefferson County PT A has its way, the rolling papers you innocently carry in your wallet or purse will soon

' become illegal and could cost you up to $100 in fines.

A Colorado anti-paraphernalia bill (House Bill 1190) passed the House by a 55-10 _vote and has been approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary

~ Committee. The bill would ban the sale, advertising, and possesion of any object used to introduce into the body any 'dangerous or narcotic drug.' Violation of the law would be a class two misdemeanor and carry a faine of up to $100.

The bill was sponsored in the House " by Rep. Kathy Spelts (R-Littleton) and

Rep. Dorothy Witherspoon (D­Lakewood). In the Senate, it is being sponsored by Sen. Al Meiklejohn (R­Arvada). Spelts and Witherspoon had sat in on a PT A drug task force meeting

_ and offered to submit the legislation.

.,· .

June Dellinger, president of the Jefferson County PTA, said parapher­nalia shops are learning centers for young children.

"The PT A goal is to stop these learning centers," she said. "It would be hard for a law-abiding citizen to come out against this bill."

The opponents of the legislation, she said, "are adults trying to stay in a multi­million dollar business."

The Spelts bill is patterned after a

model law written by the U.S. Justice Department for state legislatures to follow. For this reason, Spelts believes the bill to be constitutionally sound, despite the prohibition on paraphernalia advertisements.

"Paraphernalia is aimed more to young kids," she said. "The bill will prove to be for the public good." £

Distributors and retailers of para- ~ phernalia have organized the Colorado ~ Smoking Accessories Association c5 (CSAA) to fight the proposed legislation. Q; The organization's · attorney, Art~ Sohwartz, doubts the bill will pass and u; questions its constitutionality.

"I don't think for a minute the legis­lature will pass this law,'' Schwartz said.

But, he added, "the day it is passed we will bring a challenge in the state or federal courts."

Schwartz said the advertising prohibition- is an issue involving commercial speech, which he said is protected by law.

The legislation has further problems, he said, because of the difficulty in deter­mining what is paraphernalia, and bow it is going to be used.

Art Strathman, a member of the CSAA and buyer for Mile-Hi One Stop, a record store and paraphernalia supplier, believes the paraP.hernalia controversy is blown out of proportion.

During the House judiciary commit­tee hearing, the 55-year-old Strathman said manx of the persons who testified for the bill ta1ked about the widespread

use of cocaine, pills, and marijuana among young people. He has an answer to the problem-cut the allowances of the kids buying the drugs.

With cocaine sellfng for $3,000 an ounce, and marijuana selling for $40 to $45·an ounce, Strathman wonders where kids get that kind of money.

He believes the anti-paraphernalia movement is misdirected. The problem, he said, is not the corner headshop, it's

the parents. "They can't control their own kids

·and they blame it on someone else '' Strathman said. · '

He said the people behind 1 the bill know nothing of the drug culture. If they did, he said, they'd know that serious drug addiction is a psychological problem, not one to be remedied by outlawing roach clips and rolling papers.

Do's and don'ts in a job inteniew "Interview for Success," a set of

simulated interview situations developed by Marilyn Renninger and Dr. Darrell Schaffer of the MSC scholl of business, will be presented on Tuesday, March 11th, from 1 :30 to 2:30 p.m. in WC 240.

The event is being sponsored jointly by the Accounting Students Association, the Insurance Risk Management Society

and, Phi Chi Theta, the professional fraternity for students majoring in business and economics. This is an opportunity for students to observe role­playing interaction between interviewer and interviewee. The emphasis will be on the ' "do's" and "don't" of job interviews, and students are urged to attend.

Letters. Editor's note: THE METROPOLITAN does not have space to print every letter it receives every week. Two letters on this page by Sandy Danaan and Larry Plume and by the International Committee Against Racism, were received in time for publication last week, but were held by their authors for rewriting because of excessive length.

THE METRO POLIT AN -again suggests that all . letters intended for publication be kept within two, double-spaced typewritten pages, and be of publishable character and quality. In the future, any letter meant to be published must be signed by its author.

To the Editor, The recently instituted policy of THE METRO­

POLITAN to focus more of it's attention on Student Governments at Auraria is long overdue. It is appropri­ate that a student-fee funded newspaper should do so. However, the two recent articles concerning ASMSC's budget problems show only a superficial commitment to this policy.

The stories fail to ask, let alone answer, some very important questions:

1. How long has the overspending been going on? 2. What specific areas of the Student-help budget

were the cause of the overspending? 3. Who is responsible for the overspending? 4. Why couldn't spending be kept within the

budget? 5. Why wasn't corrective action taken sooner? The answers to the first four questions can be

found in the ASMSC Constitution and the monthly reports from the Budget Office:

1. How long has it been going on? The budget for the current year provided $12,919 for Student-Help, or $1,077 per month. This figure has been exceeded every month since the start of the fiscal year: July, $1,299.74; August, $1,339.44; September, $1,255.93; October, $2,450.81; November, $2,319.81; December, $2,063.64.

2. What specific areas of the Student-Help Account were the cause of this overspending? The budget cited above provided $8,595.00 to pay the salaries of the President, Vice President, and the members of the Joint Committee. The remaining $4,324.00 ($360.33 per month) was to be used to pay additional positions. In the first six months $5,5.78.51 ($929.75 per month) had already been spent in this area. Some of this money has paid the salaries of the Chairperson of the SAC and Curriculum Committee ($1,146.82). The remaining $4,431.69 has been used to pay members of the "Execu­tive Staff" (i.e. p'tople who are hired by, and work for, the President). Particularly noteworthy are the wages of Dan Mulqueen and Neil Harlan, listed respectively: July, $117.39 and $88.48; August, $361.20 and $139.04; September, $359.52 and none to Harlan; October, $577.80 and $376.32; November, $512.00 and $372.96; December $410.88 and $389.76. A total of$3,705.35 for just these two people.

3. Who is responsible? The ASMSC Constitution makes the President responsible for all activities of Student Government. It also specifically assigns responsibility to the President and Treasurer for the proper execution of the budget of the ASMSC. The Pre,sident signs the time cards of all people paid by ASMSC. Finally, from the beginning of his term until November, the President, Floyd Martinez, acted as Treasurer of ASMSC. Therefore the responsibility rests solely with the President of the ASMSC, Floyd Martinez.

4. Why couldn't spending be kept within the budget? Mr. Martinez offers that he only got $12,919.00 of the $15,000.00 he requested for the Student-Help account. Even if he had the entire $15,000.00 and the expenses were the same, he still would have spent 71.5 percent of the budget in one-half of the year. One wonders if he would have been as frugal (?) in paying his _ · staff if be had received the $15,000.-00.

5. Why wasn't corrective action taken before almost all the money was spent? Martinez knew from the end of the first month of this fiscal year that the budget was being overspent, yet idly allowed the monthly payroll to grow to nearly double the amount that should have been spent. .

In sum, the root cause /of the problem of overspending was not a "budget shortfall" as suggested in the January 30th issue of THE METROPOLITAN. The problem here is simply irresponsibility on the part of Floyd Martinez.

THE METROPOLITAN should have provided all

the students (whose fees support Student Government) with the information in this letter, so that they could accurately determine who's to blame for squandering their student fees.

The Feb. 13 article on the INCAR anti-war rally (Feb. 6) contained two editorial cheap-shots:

First, the headline, "Pre-war speakers get little re­sponse,'' might easily have tricked readers who skim the paper into confusing "pre-war" with "pro-war." That a pro-war rally would get little response is understand­able. But your statement that lNCAR's anti-war rally "failed to gain much student support" and that "most students ... seemed uninterested" in our campaign against the draft ignores the fact that dozens of students stopped, listened attentively, asked questions and signed the INCAR petition which says, "We Won't Fight a Racist War," "No Draft, No Military Recruitment for World War III," and "Get the US out of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America."

We can quibble over the extent and depth of support for INCAR's position.

But we dare say that we signed up more new IN CAR members that day (three) than the ROTC which regularly buys advertising space in the pages of THE METROPOLITAN. We challenge you to refuse ads which promote the supposed virtues of an imperial army, or, put your money where your mouth ought to be by donating that blood-money to INCAR so we can undo the military's dirty-work.

The fact is that INCAR is growing here and all over the country because workers, students and soldiers recognize the need for a multi-racial organization to fight racism in the schools, on the job and in the mili­tary. Here at Auraria there was no INCAR until last fall. Today there is a chapter with 15 members. And increasing numbers of students, faculty and staff-who never heard of IN CAR before-look to IN CAR to . protest the terrorism of the KKK, to expose racism in the curriculum, to protest racist attacks on foreign and minority students, and, yes, to begin building now a movement to stop World War III and fascism.

Second, if "a picture if worth a thousand words," why did your caption pose a snide rhetorical question: "Auraria rally: a media event in disguise?" Isn't it your job to answer such. specious concerns with real evidence? What is your basis for even posin'g such a bogus question?

Our motives are clear and we do not hide our goals: We want to build a multiracial organization that will involve literally millions of people in wiping out racism. If the mass media can be helpful in this, we welcome it. But past experience suggests that it would be naive, at best, to expect the mass media to be sympathetic to militant anti-racist activity. Rather, the major newspapers, radio and TV provide a vehicle for the transmission of the racist lies of the big corporations and banks, their mouth-piece politicians, their hired guns in the military and police, and their academic pros­titutes, not to mention the free publicity provided to racist terrorists like the Klan and Nazis whenever they dare stick their hooded heads and jackboots out from under a rock.

No, INCAR relies on the mass of ordinary peo­ple-not on the racist media-to expose and oppose the ways racism hurts all of us. That's why we were disap­pointed that coverage in a student-run paper reflected the cynicism and distortions we usually expect from the professional propagandists of the networks and the big dailies.

We encourage . students, faculty and staff at Auraria to join INCAR in the fight against racism.

Members and friends of INCAR

UCD Students: A week ago, in this space, we invited you to partici­

page in a unique opportunity. A referendum was to take place which would actually give UCD students the opportunity to vote on the amount and use of their student activity fees. Students also were to vote on measures to limit the nearly absolute authority of student government's Executive Council.

Unfortunately, this opportunity was more unique than we had expected. At 3:00 PM on the day preceed­ing the.scheduled vote, UCD's Judicial Board stopped

the voting in response to a protest filed by the Executive Council. Now, we certainly expected the Executive Council to try to stall a referendum which was designed to take away some of their powers. We were shocked, " however, that the Judicial Board would move at the eleventh hour to halt a referendum which had been established by 1265 UCD students who signed a petition calling for the referendum to take place prior to March 1st.

The Judicial Board has assured us that the referen­dum will take place sometime. Perhaps it will. But, we know of at least one other initiated referendum which somehow never happened. When the constitutionally­guaranteed right of UCO- students to hold a referendum can be so easily denied, the whole concept of student government becomes a cynical joke. And demonstrated once again is the need for limiting the authority of the .. Executive Council and giving greater choice to the students. That's what the referendum was all about.

" Sincerely,

Dear Editor,

Mike Maxwell, UCD Students for Reform ·

It seems to me that the Auraria Library is not a place for study and research.

In the past year I have noticed the regular social gathering and classes being held in the Auraria Library. There is no place to move to insure quiet unless you check out a room and invariably they are all in use.

There are stu.dent centers, smoking and non- -smoking lounges, outside benches (even in between the library), etc. to talk and laugh. The library is not a social center.

Maybe the fault lies with the people in charge. At Penrose Library (DU) and Norlin (CU Boulder), talking and laughing in the library assure expulsion. Why can't our Auraria Library atmosphere be made conducive for ~ serious study?

~ appropriated. Dean Schenck seemed to feel differently, implying that a valid assessment of the student body should be made before the money is doled out. Schenck's comments seemed to be directed to, or at least in reaction to, the announcement that the executive branch of the MSC student government was conducting a survey of 1,000 students for that very purpose.

At any rate, Abe Locker and Sonny Wasinger, a newly elected SAC member, took to the forefront in displaying their colors to represent the student body. The

"' remainder of the conversation was general and fuzzy, with preliminary battle lines being drawn between the students and the faculty as regards upcoming student fee budget negotiations.

Now back in the SAC-students only-a few changes have developed recently. For example, club travel and support money has been opened up to "music ensembles of MSC.'• These funds

\

were previously limited to chartered MSC clubs only. The motion to open the funds to music ensembles, recognized as parts of the MSC music department, was made by the newly elected Wasinger. Wasinger is a music voice major. No other non-club organization were listed in the motion, which passed 4-0.

Changes were also made in distribu­tion procedures of club travel and

, support funds . A club , or music ensemble, may now receive up to its max­imum annual allotment at one time; pre­viously it was limited to maximum of one-third of its total annual share three times a year.

At the last SAC meeting, Aurarians Against Nukes and the Industrial Edu­cation and Electronic Engineers clubs were also alloted money for conferences.

By-laws of the SAC state that money disbursed for club travel and support should somehow, in some way, eventually benefit the MSC student body.

When the Auraria Jewish Students Alliance was still Auraria Hillel (earlier this semester) it received club travel money to attend a seminar-retreat at Estes Park. This week it is hosting a speaker on campus, also aided by club support money. The latter is obviously beneficial to the student population. The

An old· Text and Photos

by Clinton G. Funk

Downtown Denver's nationally registered civic joke is finally getting seri­ous.

After 10 years of controversy, the D & F Tower, built in 1911 and vacant since 1970, is being renovated into office con­dominiums. Money has been mortgaged and construction crews are clearing out the interior, so it seems fairly safe to assume the renovation is actually happening.

The obstacle to the tower's renova­tion has been what to do with a 23-story, 330-foot-_tall structure with only 1,000 square feet of space per floor. Ideas for -the tower have varied, including every­thing from luxury apartments to an art gallery. Various developers suggested incorporating or linking the tower to another building but preservationists have resisted this idea.

In January 1979, The Denver Urban ,,. Renewal Authority (DURA) granted

' development rights and sale of the tower to French and Company for $72,000. French's plan is to spend $2.7 million to renovate the tower into' one two-floor and 12 one-floor office suites and a common conference room on the 14th floor.

To make the plan economically viable, French negotiated with the city to allow the company to ex<:avate the base­ment level, adding 2,200 square feet to the existing 4,000 square feet of the tower's site. This will allow for a base- >

· ment restaurant. The Daniels and Fisher Department

Store, to which the tower was connected, was razed in 1970, leaving scars on the tower's northeast and northwest outside

Page 7: Volume 2, Issue 21 - March 5, 1980

riend is restored walls. Gensler and Associates, architects for the renovation project, have found a complementiµg tan brick to cover those

,...... .. scars. The buff brick originally used on the tower is no longer available.

Tony Pierce, project architect with Gensler, said the northeast and northwest walls also will have glass arches extending from the tower. On the northeast side, an opaque glass arch will house the tower's

- mechanical equipment. The northwest glass arch will be larger and transparent, allowing a light shaft into the basement restaurant.

Most of the floors have already been purchased by businessmen excited .about the prospect of their unique office

..- locations. Nick Delcalzo of Dalcalzo and

Company, a public relations firm presently located in Cherry Creek, wanted to move "into the eye of the hur­ricane in the downtown area." He is pur­chasing two floors in the tower and said

'- downtown growth will be good for business. Ownership of his new office was also a prime consideration; most office space, particularly in the downtown area, is leased.

"And of course the historical aspect was in the back of my mind," Delcalzo

-. .- said. The tower was patterned after the

Campanile in the Plaza of St. Mark in Venice, Italy. It was completed in 1911 as the finishing touch to the Daniels and Fisher Department Store.

Always a prominent Denver , ~'- landmark, it was the tallest building west

of New york when it was constructed. Sixty years ago tourists paid 10 cents to ride to its top for a grand view of Denver and the Rockies.

President Taft visited the tower on

his tour of the West in 1911. In 1919, a woman fell from the 20th

"to the 17th floor and survived. It has also been the site of an

attempted suicide; a couple of "human flys" have scaled its heights.

The studios of radio station KBPI occupied its upper floors from 1965 to 1970.

National landmark status was designated to the tower in 1968. DURA acquired the property in 1969 and razed the adjoining department store in 1970 as part of its Skyline Park Project.

The central feature of the structure is its clock, 15 feet in diameter, which once struck every quarter hour. Its works have been removed for refurbishing and will be on display in the tower's restaruant. New electrical works will now operate the. clock.

Delcalzo's ideas about buying space in the tower were echoed by others.

. ''The tax ramifications of owning a historic landmark was a consideration," said Kent Meager of Meager and Company, a real estate development and acquisition firm.

Meager's offices, presently located in Larimer Square, are decorated with antique furniture which he said will work well in the tower.

Peter McLaughlin of McLaughlin and Company, a Denver real estate devel­opment firm, has from the beginning been involved with French in developing the tower.

"I always had a romantic vision of the .tower,'' said McLaughlin, a native Denverite.

'The average floor price is now $170,000. McLaughlin said he thought a floor could be worth $400,000 to $500,000 in the future.

MY BRILLIANT CAREER. Starring Judy Davis, directed by GUI Armstrong. · At The Esquire.

There are foreign films that seem light years ahead in vision. And there are ones that are sadly lacking.

My Brilliant Career takes a good story and fine performances and comes up sadly lacking.

Sybylla Melvyn (Judy Davis) is an Australian farm girl whose liberated ideas are squelched by the Victorian ways of the late 1800s. She is unruly, feisty, and independent. Her distaste for the back-country forces Sybylla's parents to send her to wealthy relatives who eventu­ally cool her heels.

It is a great story of a woman's attempt at liberation, class-conscious­ness, and Sybylla's psychological panic at seeing the limitations of her life mapped out for her.

Judy Davis is a burgundy-haired, blue-eyed, freckled damsel and, as if those features aren't enough, possesses a mouth that commands attention. There are two little dark spots on either corner of her bottom lip that seem to change with the light. At times we see them, at times we don't. Eye-riveting.

Her lov_e affair with Harry Beecham

(Sam Neill) is as mundane in tone and character as a standard English romance. The pitfalls of a story like this are pedes­trian and director Gill Armstrong fell into every one of them.

The film reads like a mid-'40s Kate Hepburn film meeting· Days of Heaven.

Armstrong uses a lucious cinematic expression to illustrate a story that plainly doesn't warrant it. In the opening scene, Sybylla is banging away at an awful piano in . a dust y, wind-swept Australian farmhouse. This shot is alter­nated with men driving cattle back to the house. The images evoke the finest in the grand tradition of montage but lack the vital element: purpose.

the luxuries of her wealthy relatives to a mud-bath family to serve as governess. The contrast between the two worlds is unnecessarily extreme. At other times, • " Armstrong overemphasizes _plainly obvious moods and expressions and the film just barely plods along.

Armstrong seems eager to try out every facet of technique she learned in film school. Sybylla is transplanted from

Film depicts reality of ra~e separation system

The Auraria chapter of the Inter­national Committee Against Racism will present Last Grave at Dimbaza, a film about the apartheid system in South Africa, on Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. in Rm. 257 of the Auraria Student Center.

The film, shot secretly in South Africa for British television, depicts the conditions in the "bantustans"-the so­called "black homelands" for confinement of the unemployed. It docu­ments the role of foreign investors, par­ticularly u:s. companies, in maintaining apartheid (Race separation).

In the end, Sybylla writes a book and sends it off to the publisher. It is the strongest scene and one that Armstrong seemed to really care about. But we have to sit through a lot of meaningless, affected scenes to get th.ere.

Are strawberry fields forever? by S. Peter Duray-Bito

FREEZE FRAME Godley Creme Polydor PD-1-6257

* * * * * Who i~ Godley Creme? Why is there a picture of Paul McCartney on the inside sleeve? Why does this album feel like contemporary Beatles?

Godley Creme merges catchy, hook­filled tunes with intellectual New Wave lyrics and oodles of state-of-the-art tech­nology. They are doing today what the Beatles did 13 years ago with Sgt. Pepper.

The opening cut, "An Englishman in New York,'' couldn't be more on

target. "Defecting Russian dancers dance into Hockney prints/exclusive to Bloom­irigdale's gift-wrapped in red ." The vocals come out of both channels but with an odd time-delay so that the voice is projected somewhere behind you . Maritnbas and vibes evoke Zappa. Then, a massed chorus takes on the theatrics of ELO.

"I Pity Inanimate Objects" repeats that phrase with the voice going through a voice synthesizer. The singer 's voice is constantly altered and, yet somehow, the ultimate effect is like a Gregorian chant. There are voices overlapping. coming out of nowhere, then disappearing. The bridges are filled with a piercing guitar that ebbs and flows like a snake charm. .

Every cut oil this album stands out on its own. "Brazilia" talks about "white heat, grey stone" in a slumbering, mystical mood. The piece cuts to a Latin rhythm with a strong Flamenco guitar solo. "Mugshots" starts out with a blues chorus, then flows into an upbeat, melodic tune about Hubcap Jenny. The final tune, "Get Well Soon," is a drifting ode to Radio Luxembourg, the Mecca of European pop radio. The piece drifts off into an "I am the Walrus" jumbled caco­phony.

Godley Creme uses all the musical developments of the '70s-jazz-rock, disco and New Wa\ie-and puts them

* * * * If Loman, in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, means low-man, then Numan must mean new-man.

. Gary Numan rides along the wave of

Devo and the Talking Heads decrying the dehumanization of man. Monotone vocals -about "my Mallory heart" and droning guitars and synthesizers are the order of the day.

Numan makes it work through taste­ful arrangements and effective vocals. The first cut, "Air lane," is a sort of overture of metal-like bass and a winding massed synthesizer melody. It is not unlike the metaphysical excursions of Yes. Numan's plain voice rises out from this background and well-timed hooks strengthen the material.

The overall sound is more laid back than the Talking Heads' wild straining or Devo' s syncopated strut. The sounds drone on but never become weary because the qualities are interesting. Numan makes you listen to a viola, over­lapped with synthesizer, carried along by bass, in a multitude of melodies and rhythins. Each cut is fresh yet strongly attached to the others.

Like Godley Creme, Numan comes from Britain and the two albums were even mastered by the same group: Straw­berry Mastering . The sounds are different, the words are different, but somehow Gary Numan and Godley Creme/eel the same.

Sports byDo••~Griq• Athletics for the part-time athlete Intramurals at Auraria are geared

for the individual, for the person who wants athletic activity but doesn't want to participate in everyday team sports.

That is intramurals director Bill Helman's idea of how an intramurals program should be run at a commuter campus such as Auraria.

. Helman has been intramurals direc­tor for the last three years and is trying to add a new activity every semester, trying to involve as many people as he can.

Intramurals offers activities such as raquetball, innertube water polo, golf, floor hockey, drop-in fitness, aerobics, and will soon be sponsoring a sports trivia bowl.

on when intramurals has funds. "Each hour we're open, we have to

pay a student employee to be there," he said. "So that's where the majority of our funding goes."

Although intramurals is intended for all students, faculty, and staff, CCD students cannot use the facilities.

Staff and faculty can participate by paying a $3 fee to the MSC business office, but CCD students are not able to do this because intramurals doesn't have the people to administer a pay-as-you-go • system. (Helman is the only full time employee).
