Beer Returns d To Mercantile Plan for New Classroo:rns Propose

Fourteen Month Dry 1Spell Ends

by Susan Skorupa Reporter, The Metropolitan

After 14 dry months, Auraria's Mercantile is getting ready to "set 'em up" again.

Gary McManus, director of the Auraria Student Center said the City and County of Denver approved the Merc's application for 3.2 beer on December 30, and, having passed ~tate inspection, the restaurant will begin serving Coors, Coors Lite, Budweiser, and Michelob on January ~O. - "Trangen, Inc. owns the beer license," McManus said. "Initially, AHEC tried to apply for it, but the occupant must get the license, not the landlord.''.

John Scaramella, president of Trangen, which leases the Mere from AHEC, said the company had no problems getting the license.

"It was just an element of time processing the paper work," he said.

Scaramella said there are no : plans to present live entertainment or to make any major changes at the Mere.

"We've just gotten the license," he said. "Exactly where we're going has not yet been determined." -

The reopening of the basement bar will, however, add a few new items to the restaurant's cafeteria­style menu.

Manager Bill Edgar said the Mere will offer "munchie plates" for $1.25 after ·.4 p.m. consisting of tacos, nachos, french bread pizza and other snack food. The four selections

.of draught beer will sell for 75 cents per 16-oz. glass.

. Beer will be served from 10:30 a.m .-10:3'0 p.m., Monday­Thursday, and until 7 p.m. on Fri­day.

Scaramella said he didn't expect the sale of beer to draw a different clientele to the Mere.

"The place is (already) 100 per­cent student orjented," he ~aid. "We expect to attract the same element as upstairs in the cafeteria."

The Mere has been "dry" since last November, when the Auraria Mer­cantile Company, which then held the lease on the restaurant, allowed the beer license to expire.

In March, 1983, the company sold its interest in the Mere to AHEC, which holds the lease. Professional Food Management operated the restaurant until August 1, when it "!'as taken over by Trangen. O

· The dead bird that laid the golden egg? ·

No one will ever knew for sure, but a dead bird may have helped the Joint Budget Commit­tee in their decision to recommend funding for an East Cla.sSroom replacement building.

The Joint Budget Committee first caught wihd of the bird on the pages of the Denver Post, where it was mentioned in an editorial in favor of a new facility by Chuck Green.

The bird had apparently been crucified between two panes of glass at the EC for a long, long time.

According to AHEC Executive Director Jerry Wartgow, he-was urged by the JBC to put the dead bird problem to rest, once and for all. .

The issue would have been buried right there if it hadn't been for the December Joint Budget Committee hearings on Higher Education. Director Wartgow felt it important to pre­sent the JBC with a fitting memorial to the long services rendered by the former tramway depot, and so immortali7.ed the symbolic Auraria Dead Bird forever between glass.

"The hearings were very long and tirlng," said Wartgow, "and I was a little nervous about whether everyone had retained their sense of humor."

But a laugh was apparently just what was needed for, not only did the ]BC approve of the AHEC request for $10 million-they have hung our new mascot in the offices of the ]BC, on the third floor of the capitol. D

A proposal to borrow $10 million from the state to fund construction of a new building to replace the East Classrooms has been · initially approved by the state legislature's Joint Budget Committee.

The proposal, which would allow AHEC to borrow the money against the sale of the East Classrooms, -was submitted by AHEC and approved by the CU Board of Regents in December . Accordi-ng to ·Lee Maurer, a legislative analyst for the JBC, the committee will be recom­mending to the legislature that the $10 million loan be granted.

"The Joint Budget Committee recognized the need for a new building," Maurer said.

The $10 million is approximately half of what it will cost to construct the new building, according to AHEC Executive Director Jerry W artgow.

"We'll probably be back pitching for the other $10 million next year. In the meantime, of course, we'll be trying tt> sell the old buildings."

W artgow said that construction might begin "realistically" by next January, and that the building probably won't be open for classes until the fall of 1986.

Both W artgow and Maurer agreed that the current depression in Denver's real ·estate market could delay sale of the old facility.

The JBC's support for a new classroom building comes after a long search by AHEC and the Regents for a lender. One proposal announced by AHEC last fall would have committed students to pay for any default on the facility through a special bond fee. However, that pro­posal, meant to insure against a fickle legislature, was denounced by_ the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges, and was subsequent­ly dropp~. D

People Mover Moves Ahead

by Carson Reed Editor, The Metrapolitan

The RTD Board of Directors breathed new life into the proposed Automated Guideway Transit System (AGT) when they voted on January 10 to solicit design proposals and cost estimates from contractors.

The go-ahead follows an initial joint study by AHEC and RTD on the feasability of a "people mover" from Mile High Stadium to Auraria.

Although AHEC Executive Direc­tor Jerry Wartgow felt the vote was "promising," he cautioned that RTD still has the option to drop plans for an elevated shuttle system before they-or we-ever get off the ground.

The election of Byron Johnson, a UCO economics professor, as Chair­man of the RTD Board makes that seem unlikely, however. Johnson is an enthusiastic supporter of the AGT concept.

"It's a marvelous complimentary," said Johnson, who noted that peak­use hours for parking lots at Auraria and Mile High Stadium seldom conflict.

Whether or not the AGT system is ultimately developed, some solution to the deteriorating parking situa­tion will have to be found, W artgow said. The campus will lose over 600 parking spaces to the Tivoli shop­ping mall next fall, and stands to lose hundreds more in other projects, including the East Classroom

replacement facility, slated to .be built on top of existing student park­ing lots.

"Auraria' s necessity becomes RTD's opportunity," said Johnson, who feels that a successful AGT system might change Denverite's perceptions of mass transit and "give the public a look at an alternative."

AHEC has currently budgeted approximately $7 million to con­tribute to the system, which RTD estimates could cost anywhere from $15-30 million. If RTD shelves the AGT, AHEC will then use the funds to build a multi-level parking garage, W artgow said.

Current negotiations between AHEC and RTD include allowing students to use the Mile High to Auraria shuttle for free or at a minimal cost, Wartgow said. However, AHEC Director of Com­munity Relations Larry Ambrose said on-campus parking rates would probably go up as a result of the system, both to offset its cost and to encourage students to use the AGT. AHEC already uses its rate system to discourage students from using close-in parking.

Ultimately, the system ~ould be continued into the downtown area, if debate over the terminal sites can ever be resolved.

If the procedure goes smoothly, Johnson said, the AGT system could be hauling students to and from campus as early as fall semester of 1985. 0

Children dying at the rate of 7,150 per month is the reason Ms. Lynora Williams will be speaking at 7 p.m., Friday, January 27th~ at Park Hill United Methodist Church in Denver.

Williams, an American journalist who has traveled extensively in Africa, will report on the tragedy in Eritrea, a protectorat.e in northern Ethiopia. The popula<:e has suffered a double whammy of seven years ·of drought and 23 years of war with its legal protector.

The Eritrean Belief Committee, which is sponsoring Williams, is seeking financial and material aid for the starving refugee$. National agencies involved in the effo~ include the Church World Service and the United Church of Christ:. Other agencies are in the country, but they fear if too much becomes known about the extent of the starvation, Ethiopia will force these agencies to leave and the suffering will increase. ·

The relief committee is not only asking for assistance for its refugee pro­jects and orphanages, but also for volunteers in Denver to help publicize the situation.

Interested people may contact the Chairman of Mrlcan Studies at MSC, Dr. Akbarali Thobhani, at 629-2935, or Chairperson Christine Karim, at 825-3651. Donations and inquiries may be sent to Erltrean Relief Committee, Denver Branch, P.O. 18866, Denver, 80218.

Byron Johnson

UCO Economics Professor Byron Johnson moves to the head of the RTD board of directors armed with 17 years of experience in public transporation, and over 40 years in public service of all kinds. Johnson, 65, is a former con­

gressman and CU regent, and has been involved in Denver's mass tran­sit problems in an official capacity since 1966, under then-Mayor Currigan. He has been serving on boards and committees, or advising them, ever since, and for many years sponsored the Urban Transportation Conference through the UCD department of Urban Affairs.

Johnson, who describes himself as a workaholic, commands the space around him with a calm presence, but he is never still-he is con­stantly, diligently, doing something.

"I like to do diverse thin~," he confesses, "that's why I'm excited about this (appointment)."

"RTD needs to do something other than

run buses." -Byron Johnson

Through his chairmanship, he hopes to lead RTD into an expanded role in Denver, beginning with Auraria-Mile High AGT system.

"RTD needs to do something other than run buses," Johnson said. "Denver has the opportunity to become a model city," he said, adding "Transportation plays a ma- • jor role."

In addition to helping bring the Auraria "people mover" to life, Johnson's appointment could be an asset to Auraria students in many other ways. Because both he and RTD Board Chairman pro-tern William Roarke are on the faculties of UCO and MSC, respectively, ··we are in a position of knowing what the every-day situation is at Auraria." O

Misguid,ed Merger. Re- emerges Sometime in the next two weeks Rep. Paul Schauer will introduce a bill on

the floor of the legislature that would, among other things, merge MSC and UCO under the Board of Regents. ·

Here we go again! The Problem, it wou}d seem, is that the concept of Auraria is much too

difficult and unwieldy for either the public or the legislature to grasp. Much as a child has difficulty with the idea of sharing his toys, the legislature has had difficulty understanding how three utterly different institutions can share the same campus.

As a result of our congenital incomprehe1!5ibility, the legislature is, and always has been, o~ed with the idea that the independent colleges of the Auraria campu~ somehow constitute a "problem" that must one day be "resolved."

The argument --certain to be rekindled in a big way following the public hearings on the State Auditor's report this Wednesday night-- is that one great big school would function much more efficiently than three little ones. According to this argument:

The Higher Education System, which Rep. Schauer told me now eats up nearly a quarter of the state's budget, would be a ~ot cheaper under a single, centralized system.

But then, so would the government. If we were to eliminate state govern­ment all together (saving the cost of Rep. Schauer's salary, among other

_ things) we could run the country from Washington in a most efficient way. The entire unwieldy concept of representative democracy could be done away with, and taxpayers could go to sleep at night knowing that the "governing structure" of the United States was in the "more efficient" hands of big brother.

The Question that nobody seems to be asking, is whether efficiency is the primary goal of either good government or.good education. Can a diverse and tolerant society be produced on an assembly line?

·The Goal of good government is not just efficiency-it is responsiveness to the citizens it represents, and different citizens in different parts of the country need and want different things.

So, too, on the Auraria Campus. The three schools that reside here are not different out of some bull-headed desire to squander taxpayer money-they reflect the different needs and wants of their students, who are not much different than other kinds of citizens.

And we are citizens, roughly 33,000 of us locally registered and ready to vote.

It would be a terrible mistake to believe that this merger proposal would be of benefit to anyone on this campus. It isn't. It originates from the depths of a profound ignorance over what this campus is and does.

The fact is that, student for student, FrE for FrE, square foot for square foot, the Auraria campus is Colorado's biggest education bargain.

·The Regents are already an albatross around the neck of UCO. which the Regents tend to regard as a kind of footnote to the vast encyclopedia of CU Boulder. What good could pos_gbly be gained by making MSC and UCO partners in misery? Does anyone at the legislature honestly think that the gods on Mt. Flatirons are going to descend into traffic-choked: smog­infested city of Denver to watch over their MegaCarnpus? The Regents have a vested interest in keeping CU in its slot as the preeminent school in Colorado.

. ~-

•:..---- . .

'/

The Inevitable restructuring of our urban education system requires .much more careful thought than it has been given in the past. If the unwilling roommates of the Auraria Campus are to be 'united in holy matrimony, 'till death do us part', it behooves the legislature to foster a relationship that is more. than just tolerable; more than even just amiable. Auraria is the most dynamic campus in Colorado, and has the potential to be perhaps the most dynamic campus in America. The raw materials are here-all that is required is willingness for the citizens to grudge us this: that creativity is not neat, that knowledge is not regimented; that freedom of choice is messy as hell.

-LEYl,EJRS Jlegistration Leaves

Editor: I am a graduate student at the University of Colorado. I received my

undergraduate degree from Metro and have had several semesters experience • registering. · But this semester has g~t to be the·most frustrating of all.

As a grad student I am required to take six credits of "elective" hours out­side of my major area. I cross-registered at Met,ro for a political science course (my first mistake). I requested a schedule five times, and never receiv­ed one. I finally got the course call number from the department. I then pro­ceeded to call four departments simply to find out what day school started. No one knew. I was referred from registration to admissions to records to counseling. Luckily an academfo advisor knew when school started.

I finally got my course through registration, and went to purchase my books and parking permit. The bookstore went smoothly, but I arrived at the parking office at 5:06 to be rudely told the office closed at 5:00. I was also informed their hours were from 8:00-5:00. Those also happen to be my hours.,

For those of us who attend a "commuter" school because we work it is not very considerate of the offices to close.at 5:00 or 5:30. It is doubly incon­siderate for the school to lack insight into those students who restistered bv mail and eliminate last minute crowds by purchasing their books and parking permits early.

Hey, By Golly -Someone.- Noticed

Dear Editor: We in the Office of Public Relations at Metropolitan State College want to

thank you and your staff for the coverage of MSC events in The Metropolitan. As the year has progressed, the comprehensiveness has increased so that the MSC story is being better-told each week. Congratula­tions on your commitment to MSC's people, programs, and activities.

One place in the paper where a large number of items are covered with interest and focus is "Bits and Pieces." This appears to be a very effective manner of printing a lot of information and photos in an accessible and lnteresting way. You are to be commended on this and the increasingly invigorating approach to covering campus activity.

Sincerely,

Susan Blish Director, Office of Public Relations

Well, another semester is upon us and it looks to be very promising. Welcome aboard to any ne)V students that have joined us over the break. I hope that you will all take the time to become familiar with the school and our campus governing structure. Metro has a lot going for it, but then. so do you.

As students you can take part in a wide range of activities. The Physical Education building houses intercollegiate athletics and campus recreation. MSC athletics include soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, diving, gym­n~tics and many other fields. Intramurals offers after hour~ and weekend activities geared toward your available time. _

There is also a wide range of studies offered. Business, Political Science, Engineering, Mathematics, just to name a few. It will also become clear that all the headaches are over in the Central Classroom. BEWAREll Last but not least is the Student Center, which, besides laying out 'Jn the lawn, is the center of relaxation.

On February 9, 1984, from noon until 2 p.m., the Student Government (ASMSC) will hold the fjrst of their regularly scheduled Forums in rooms 230A&B in the Student Center. These forums will give all the opportunity to

become familiar with ypur student organization and college.For those daring

Screaming No wonder the student population spends a major portion of their first

couple of weeks screaming and waiting in line until the windows close ahead of them. It is also amazing more sfodents don't give up and walk away from even attending Metro.

Keep trying, administration, you'll drive a few students away. And a per­sonal recommendation for the promotion of the parking office employee who portrayed extreme rudeness by closing the window as I approached it. She should do well in registration, records, or admissions.

Clever Headline '

Bombs Out With Prof. Dear Editor:

The article in the last issue of The Metropolitan (1217/83) about my class o~ nuclear issues ("Nuclear War: What's In It For You?") gave several false impressions. The most egregious was the headline, "MSC Drops Bomb on War Cla~" - a clever mix of words but lacking any real relation to what happened.

Firstly, the fact that MSC has a liberal policy with regard to innovati~e classes offered as omnibus cours~, permitted me to teach a class less than six mon~ after I had first conceived of it. Most other institutions would have required far more bureaucratic nonsense and .a ~uch longe.r .l~g ti~e than .1 experienced here at MSC. (However, as I am fmding out, cntic1sm is due this institution with regard to the lack of channels for establishing inter­disciplinary courses-but that is another is.rue.)

Secondly, the Political Science Department and its chairman, Dr. Jett Conner, are anything but the villains of the piece: it is to his credit that Dr. Conner agreed to cross-list my course twice in one year. That he didn't cross­list it for the third semester speaks more to the severe financial constraints placed on MSC by an unenlightened state legislature than ~o any implied turf-fighting between departments.

Finally, and to end on a positive note, your article about my class served to reawaken me to the urgency of the nuclear dilemma. Subsequently, I arranged with the Chemistry Department to teach a nuclear issues class dur­ing this current spring semester. It is entitled "Nuclear Dilemma: Weapons and Peace," Chemistry 190, 2 credits, meets Wednesday nights 5:15-7:00 p.m., call number and class location to be posted on my office door, SC 107.

· Sincerely yours,

Dr. Niels D. Schonbeck Associate Professor

enough, we may eventually begih to familiarize, and hopefully do things, about the world we live in. But, for the meantime, we need to learn more about others. If your primary purpose here is education, you've come to the. right place. Not only is Metro an academic center, it is also a cultural center. There are people here from all over the world. One eventually finds it quite interesting. ASMSC - Associated Students of Metropolitan State College - is the students' voice in all that happens here at Auraria. ALLI I The forum on February 9 is open to all.

Student Activities was designed for the person who likes "extra curricular activity." It consists of several sub-catagories, lectures, special events, clubs, public relations and movies. If you enjoy any of these programs, feel fr~ to stop by room 151 in the Student Center.

Just ask for Gina or Kyle. Ideas are mo!'e than welcome ~ause these are also your'ptograms. ·

Other than forums, Student Government hopes to sponsor Campaign Skills and Financial Aid Workshops. Lord knows, almost everybody needs help getting through office CN 107.

If you need to use a free typewriter, it's in r~m 340 of the Student Center. Also for your convenience there is a Questions & Answers board on the se­cond floor of the Student Center. Have a question? Pin it up on the board and Student Government will make sure it gets answered.

Hope registration wasn't too hectic; one would think Admissions would ~ have extended the mail-in registration because of the "blizzard." Anyway, ! we hope it went smoothly for everybody.

SPORIS Robin Heid's

Wild Life Guidebook There are few experience5 in risk sport as aesthetically exhilarating as

rocketing down a ski slope. Wind, sky, snow and trees - especially trees -combine with velocity to create that agreeably intense state of psycho-physical clarity known· as A Great Rush. ·

Unfortunately, drag racing at ski areas is generally frowned on by mru\agement and its practitioners viewed as wanton, reckless outlaws. Managers say the safety of their mostly. inept clientele is foremost in their minds when they throw the Wild Ones off the ski slopes. In truth, of course, they're worried about the safety of their pocketbook; after all, they're the ones who gave these prone-to-lawsuit bozos the recreational equivalent of a loaded gun and said, "Okay, go entertain yourself." The last thing they need

' is a reason to call a lawyer. The bottom line: it's been hard to ski fast without getting busted.

Now, however, there's an opportunity for adrenalin aficionados to get a great rush on skis without risking their lift ticket or a collision with a drunken Texan. It's a series of speed skiing time trials called the Camel Sprint Series and will provide a chance for courageous and/or nutcase skiers to hit about 70 miles per hour.

You probably won't hurt yourself, either. Only two people in the last 50 years have died speed skiing - fewer than die every year at Colorado ski areas. Serious injuries are also pretty rare, mostly because you just slide when you fall and the organizers put you through a mandatory clinic on how to ski fast and live, then start you out near the bottom of the course, and raise your starting point only after a panel of judges deems Y.OU fit for higher speed. Those who get deep in the madness can try their skill at the North American championships, to be held April 24-29 at Arapahoe Basin; the cur­rent record is 129.3 miles per hour.

The.first event in Colorado was held last weekend at Winter Park; Arapahoe Basin will host the second one January 26-28. The Camel Sprint · Series is also scheduled for Breckenridge February 1-4, Aspen Buttermilk February 8-11 and Crested Butte March 28-30 ..

Cost is essentially a lift ticket and a ' small registration fee. Snell Foundation-approved helmets (full coverage or open) and skis at least 190 centimeters long are required. You must also 0e over 18 and sign a form stating that you have health insurance. Call the ski area for details. And be sure to bring a camera. O

Wrestling Progra111t Benched for Now

by Dave Migoya Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

The mats of the Physical Educa­tion Building will no longer smell of the perspiration from aspiring young MSC wrestlers. The team that was held in such high regard by its founders and coaches, · Don Sondgeroth and Nouri Maslahati, in­haled its last breath last week when Athletic Director Bill Helman killed it. Make no mistake about it. The MSC Wrestling team was far from healthy. It was dying anyway.

Beginning the end of December, Sondgeroth had several meetings · with Helman about the future of the squad. The general consensus was the same-you can't have a team of varsity caliber with only one or two members.

"I don't know what it is, but I tried everything I know to get the team on its feet and running," Sondgeroth said. "I have never fail­ed to keep a wrestling program go­ing. I guess there's always a first time for everything."

Sondgeroth has spent some 20 years in wrestling; from competition to watching his son become one of the top ranked wrestlers in the nation. It's not Sondgeroth's or Maslahati's failure to produce, but

What Sondgeroth means is the lack of a campus life at Auraria. "Wrestling is the type of sport that the athlete needs to spend a lot of time training his mind and body for the strain it will encounter," he said. "Practically everyone at Auraria comes to their classes and leaves for either personal reasons or work or some other type of commitment."

This doesn't mean that a wrestling program can not be successful at Auraria, but the participation would have to increase, he said.

Probably the hardest hit is Tom Wilke, who was the most promising athlete on the squad. Sondgeroth, who knows championship caliber when he sees it, had every reason to believe that Wilke would be the catalyst of the team and a potential national threat.

Wilke won at least two matches in every meet he competed in up until his encounter with a black widow spider late in December. After his recovery, Wilke was looking for­ward to "hitting the mats again." He will have to hit the mats or some other institution.

As it stands now, Wilke will finish off the spring semester at MSC and then look at prospective universities for his transfer.

The future of wrestling at MSC is unclear. But one thing is for sure: the program will be put to sleep for now until the Athletic Advisory Committee reviews its reinstatement for the Fall '84- '85 season.

'Tm not ruling out the prospect that the team will exist in October," Helman said. "The only condition would be that the wrestlers are willing to make a seasonal committ­ment to it."

Helman also said that if the pro­gram was reinstated, his obvious and first choice as head coach would again be Sondgeroth. Not a bad choice. After all, his track record iS marred with only one failure among twenty years of successes. Don't forget- it wasn't his fault. There weren't enough people at MSC whq really cared about wrestling.

My guess is that they couldn't cut it with Don. 0

'~ystein'- a No-Hitter · by Gary N. Jones Reporter, The Metropolitan

The Buddy System, opened January 20th at the Aurora Mall, Cherry Creek, Kipling, Southglenn, Villa Italia and Westminster Five.

In the movie, The Buddy System, Joe Denniston (Richard Dreyfuss) concludes that he does not have what it takes to be a successful writer (this movie could have been called

"The Write Stuff.") The movie shares Joe's problem, it

doesn't click. It's like looking at a 6'2" high school kid that has the speed and physital build to play football, but doesn't like to hit-he's not going to make it on a ,good team.

betWeen adultS and children that exists because "children should never accept rides from strange adults." ~he dangers are real; the losers are kids and grown-ups. The child loses an adult friend who treats them iike a real person and the adult loses the unabashed adoration of a chil.d.

The best thing that · can be said about Tim is that he doesn't die, run away or behave too cute. He reminds adults of the r ules they lead him to believe the world works by, and thus he speaks "wisdom out of the mouths of babes." Ho-hum here we go again. '

Screenwriter Mary Agnes continued on page 1 O

T,he _Buddy System doesn't make it .for the same reason; it's afraid to hit.

The Buddy System is about a r-----------': man and a woman who fall in love. Emily Price (Susan Sarandon) is a single working mother who main­tains a phony address in order to send her son to the best public school in the city. Joe is the security guard at the school who catches Emily~s son, Tim, (Wil Wheaton) in his con. Tim offers his mother to Joe as pay­ment for silence; Emily demurs.

The really interesting part is the relationship between Joe and Tim. During an argument, Joe mocks Emily with joking admissioru of being a molester. These jokes state the unspoken reasons for alienation ,

Buddy System conlinwd from page 10

Donoghue uses the man/boy rela­tionship as a stepping stone to a romance for Joe and Emily. From here on the movie is predictable and common- it loses its potential punch.

Joe makes like a ping-pong ball between Emily and Carrie (Nancy Allen.) The attraetion to Carrie is physical; she controls him via a lip­lock that could thaw . Denver in December. Emily is the truly caring person. The movie expects us to believe she is not as beautiful as Carrie. The deception fails, which leaves Joe looking like the worst kind of jerk-the kind we're asked to root for.

Parallelism is overdone here. Joe and Emily are shown being dumped by previous lovers in an intercut scene, in the same manner, at the same time. The ending is a replay of an earlier scene.

Go see this one if you don't mind sentimental, predictable stories. It offers a happy ending, but should you prefer substantial movie experiences, steer clear of this one.

The Buddy System is purely lightweight and though it seems to have all the right elements, it lacks the pizzazz of a hit. D
