No More Mess No More Fuss Cure-All No. 1360

Move It Or Lose It! Brings Us MSCU

by Carson Reed Editor, The Metropolitan

A bill that proponents say would streamline the higher education system in Colorado by placine: all state schools under the control of only three boards, has been introduced in the legislature.

The promised bill from Rep. Paul Schauer would place MSC under the control of the University of Colorado Board of Regents, dissolving the Con­sortium of State Colleges, and would place DACC under the control of the State Board of Agriculture, dissolving the State Board of Community Col­leges.

Hearings have not yet been scheduled for the bill, number 1360, which will be considered first by the House Education Committee before moving on to a vote by the House of Representatives. It could be debated as early as Monday, February 13.

As the bill currently reads, the Consortium would be dissolved and "Effective July 1, 1985," MSC and Western State College would be under the direct control of the regents.

Penciled into the draft is the stipulation that "Any reorganization of the higher education system shall not affect the role and mission of Metro State College."

In addition, the regents would assume control over the Auraria Campus and "Effective July 1, 1985, the board of directors of the Auraria Higer Education Center is abolished ... "

Students who are interested in at­tending the hearings or getting more information on the progress of 1360 can call the Bill Information Room at the Capitol at 866-3056. O

A new set of yellow stripes spells trouble for students who park on the southwest side of the Student Center. Since the new paint went on last Thursday, Public Safety officers have been handing out $15 parking tickets like fliers advertising a grand open­ing .

AHEC, in cooperation with the ci­ty of Denver, changed the 30-minute parking outside the southwest doors of the Student Center to five-minute parking and has restricted half the area to AHEC service vehicles only.

According to Public Safety spokesman Dave Rivera, the change became official last Monday.

By Thursday the diagonal lines of yellow paint were dry, the signs were up and Public Safety Officers were ticketing, ticketing, ticketing.

"The city made the change upon our recommendation of how we saw the use of the space," Rivera said.

"The 30-minute parking was com­monly abused and vehicles would be parked there all day long," Rivera said.

Rivera said there was often no space avl!ilable for handicap loading and unloading, that service vehicles could not get access to the building, and that student use of the area had caused general traffic congestion.

"Over the past few weeks it became a general parking place," said Jim Schoemer, deputy executive of AHEC.

"The reason we changed it from 30 to five minute parking is because when the SFPC (Student Facility Policy Counsel) approved the con­tract to install the (TransAction) minibank we agreed to provide five­minute parking. We just never got around to it," Schoemer said.

Ken Cole, UCO student body presi­dent, agrees that the area had become "a mess." Cole agreed that there should be space set aside for handicap ,loading and unloading and for mini bank use.

STJrlng Fever May Be Me~ks by James Tabor Reporter. The Metropolitan

(between 16 and 26) may be suscepti­ble to one or both diseases.

In response to a national campus alert, the MSC Health Center has initiated a · Measles and Rubella awareness program at Auraria.

"Many of the measles outbreaks on college campuses seem to occur dur­ing the spring semester," said Jerene Anderson, MSC Nurse Health Educator." All child-bearing age women should come into the clinic for a blood test if they have any ques­tions about their immunization. A person could have rubella without ever realizing it."

Measles and Rubella on the nation's campuses has tripled in the last three years; during the first three months of 1983, college students accounted for 52.6 percent of all reported measle cases in the country.

Anderson further explained that, according to the Journal of American College Health, high susceptibility of students is related to a number of fac­tors:

"We feel that the dissemination of information is the most realistic ap­proach at this time," said B.J. Col­lard, MSC Student Health Director. "We especially want to warn any pregnant women of the serious com­plications these diseases can create to their babies."

•Children growing up in the 60's may have missed their vaccina- .J:J

munized under the comprehen­sive school requirements no in ef-Health officials estimate that up to

20 percent of the college students fect for most states. · • Most colleges and universities

The October, 1983, Sears Newsletter contained this bit of comic relief:

A customer writes ... A computer foul up on a name and address verification card caused a customer's name to appear as 159 FEOOHBCIEIWTPE.

The card stated--"Is this your complete and correct name and mail­ing address? IF NOT please make any changes that are necessary and mail this card to us today." So the customer did, along with this reply to Sears:

Gentlemen:

I was happy to recieve your mailing and your concern about the importance of my name, but I believe you have confused me with my brother. My . name is 158 FEOOHBCIEIWTPE and my brother is 159 FEOOHBCIEIWTPE. The rest of the address is correct. Your error is a common one and all of us FEOOHBCIEIWTPEs are constantly being confused.

The CIA-Grenada Connection by Scott Mohr Special to The Metropolitan

"The CIA created dissension bet­ween Grenada's leaders because it knew that the U.S. could not invade the island while it was still unified under . the popular leadership of Maurice Bishop," filmmaker Ellen Ray told an audience on the Auraria campus Saturday night.

Ray's 1980 documentary "Grenada-Nobody's Backyard" was the focal point of a presentation by the International Organization Against Repression (IOAR).

Ray and Bill Schapp are co-editors of the Covert Action Information Bulletin, an international magazine that documents anti-democratic U.S. actions.

Having just returned from Nicaragua, both were present to discuss what government is doing in Central America and the Caribbean.

The film, which included inter­views with Bishop, Worker's Party of Jamaica leader, Trevor Munroe and former CIA agent Philip Agee, gives a historical perspective of U.S. destabilization efforts against

Grenada during the first year of the revolution-events which later led to the coup and invasion, according to Ray.

"Destabilization didn't work, so Reagan determined that an invasion was necessary," she said. "But the CIA knew that the U.S. couldn't in­vade with Bishop in power, so they created dissension between Bishop and Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard. It was a mistake to put Bishop under house arrest. It's unclear who killed Bishop, but the ensuing chaos created just the situation that would justify a U.S. invasion under the pretext of protecting Americans," she said.

"The lessons go far beyond Grenada," Ray added.

An IOAR pamphlet states that "the U.S. government tries to justify its in­terventionist policies on the pretext of 'curbing Soviet influence,' where in realitv these are local movements with deep historical roots."

Agee states in the film that the CIA has had very few successes. "The CIA creates a lot of damage and causes a lot of injury in their efforts to hold back history,'' Agee said. D

Issues Forulll Explores Roots of Mid-East Conflict by Susan .Skorupa Reporter, The Metropolitan

Despite the efforts of armies, governments, and diplomats, the Mideast continues to be consumed by war-a war that reaches beyond the conflicts of nathnalism and politics, to the ancient and formidable issues of religious intolerance.

This month, in an effort to help generate understanding of the cur­rent Mideastern hostilities, the Auraria Interfaith Ministry is presen­ting an Issues Forum-"Religions of the Middle East."

Donna Coellen, a member of the Ministry, said the group hopes to help promote a peaceful settlement · through. understanding of the dif­ferent religious denominations in­volved in i:he fighting.

"We have a lot of Mideastern students on campus who are concern­ed about these issues," Coellen said.

She said the Ministry is presenting the forum as a service to anyone on campus who is interested in or has questions about religious factions engaged in the Mideast conflict.

The first program of the seri~-Understanding Judaism, with speaker Joe Zalkind-was held February 6. Other programs will be

presented each Monday during February .

On Feb. 13, Elizabeth Siddiqui, lecturer and writer on Islamic ~sues, will present "Understanding Islam."

Salwa Sifri, a Paiestinian Christian, will speak on February 20 on "Understanding Palestinian Chris­tianity." The final program on February 27, will be an interfaith panel featuring all three speakers.

All programs are being held in Room 1 of St. Francis Interfaith Center on Auraria campus from noon-I p.m.

Coellen said the programs will deal mostly with understanding the dif­ferent groups and will· delve into the history and philosophy of the religions only as they apply to the current hostilities.

"We have taken great pains to find speakers who are actively looking for a peaceful solution (to the war)," she said, "It is a ticklish situation because of the hostilities between groups."

The Ministry is working on a Lebanese program for presentation later in the semester, which will be more political, but Coellen said this event is still being planned.

Spea er Says 'Nationalism' An Integral Part of Judaism

For Joe Zalkind, the biggest obstacle to a solution of the Israeli-Palestinian ~onflict is a lack of communication.

Zalkind is the first speaker in the Auraria Interfaith Ministry's Religions of the Mideast forum.

In the past .Year, Zalkind, a co-founder of Sikah, a dialogue group within th~ local Je.w~sh comr:riunity, has been active in a monthly discussion group with Paleshruans, trymg to hash out some of the current differences between them.

"I never before realized the concerns of Palestinians or their concept of Judaism" he said. "Palestinians don't realize being Jewish is more than religion-there is a nationalistic aspect of being Jewish."

At the same time, he said, Jews fail fo realize the concerns of Palestinians. "I didn't recognize the number of Palestinians wanting to return to their

homes in Israel proper, not just the West Bank but to their original homes" Zalkind said. '

This feeling among Palestinians complicates any possible resolution he said, because in most cases, Israelis are living in these places and no reasonable compensation to them has been suggested.

"There needs to he an effort to sit down and listen to each other " Zalkind said. "In our original (local) dialogues, we had to force ourselves to listen to each other's views without making judgments. There is a failure on both sides to come to grips with the aspirations of our enemies." ~nd the two sides are enemies even in America, he said, which is why it is

so important for them to sit down and talk to each other. Zalkind believes very strongly that there must be a Jewish state. He holds

a~ equally ~trong conviction that a Palestinian state is necessary, but, he said, removing the Jews from Israel is not the answer.

"We have to start with the current reality and work forward " he said "which.~ that there is a Jewish state right now and we aren't goi'ng to pick up 3 million Jews and move them to Mozambique. The Jewish state is where it is and (I think) it should stay there."

Solving the Israeli-Palestinian problem is important, Zalkind said but the Mideast is a cauldron of conflicts and questions. '

"We shouldn't be too optimistic that solving one problem will solve others," he said. "The problems in the Mideast will be with us for a long time." D

Reagan; The Right Gone Wrong by Keith Levise

Four years ago, Ronald Reagan promised America some hard answers for some hard questions. Four years later, he apparently doesn't understand what the hard questions are, or worse, he simply refuses to address them. His hard answer is nothing more than a hard-line.

Nevertheless, much has been said about the "magic" of Ronald Reagan. He is thought to be a charming, charismatic fellow. For the record; much could be said about the magic of vipers and witch doctors --also charming and charismatic. ·

The President recently announced he intends to administer a second dose of "heavy" medicine. Some have found reason to rejoice at this news; others, to grieve. When asked what the principle factors in his decision to run for re­election might be, Reagan said, "I think I've heard some encouragement from the people. But it would be the desire to finish what I think is well started. The economic recovery-to get this country back into a growth pat­tern ... and I think we have made a good start on that."

A good start, Indeedl Hopefully, his desire to finish what he thinks is well started-an ill-defined and mysterious "growth"pattern-does not apply to the following (abridged) list of administration offenses including: -across the board cuts in the growth of funding for the health, education, and welfare of the American people. -opposition to an equal rights amendment to the Constitution.

-an adamant refusal to negotiate arms reductions while simultaneously conducting the biggest military buildup in the history of the world.

-an assertion that the arms race doesn't exist, because "the Soviets are the only ones running."

-an ongoing (and rude) suggestion that true patriots aren't involved in the peace movement.

-a reference to the bombing run over Syrian territory as a "mission of peace." -a reference to the invasion of Grenada as an act of "compassion."

-a suggestion that the unemployed should consult the want ads.

-the designation of a nuclear missile as the "peacekeeper."

f

We canT . auihorit"at1vely documenT -the existence of hun~ry r.eople in -this couniry ··· tnore caviar, waiter.

-the giving away of surplus butter and cheese (but no bread) while express­ing disbelief that any good hard-working American would need it or accept it.

-the squandering of $320,000 to conclude that it is "at present impossible to estimate the extent of hunger with any reasonable degree of objectivity."

-a suggestion that people sleep in the gutter because they want to.

-a proposal that tax-exempt status be extended to schools and colleges which practice segregation.

-the transformation of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights into an exten­sion of the White House "political apparatus," as evidenced by proposals to cancel ongoing or completed discrimination studies.

- the actual cancellation of a study in progress on how cuts in higher educa­tional financial aid hurt minority students, and a report in progress on op­portunities for women and minorities in high tech industries.

To add insult to injury, a high level Justice Department official~ with typical administration coldness, recently suggested that women with low­paying jobs aren't necessarily victims of illegal discrimination. The fellow suggested that it simply may not occur to women that they should seek higher paying positions. (Dami I could've had a V-81)

The Reagan Administration has long been battling the concept of equal pay for equal work. With the appointment of Ed "the club" Meese to the of­fice of Attorney General, we may soon be experiencing a full scale assault on our basic civil rights .

"Congress," says Rep. Pat Schroeder, "has mandated the Justice Depart­ment to be in the forefront of enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Its retren­chment from enforcement, indeed, its intervention in support of the discriminator, sends an unmistakable signal to women that their govern-ment views them as the enemy." ·

What is painfully apparent in 1984, is that Reagan lives in a deadly fan­tasy,. he has many enemies, he is definitely on the warpath, and we had bet­ter organize a common defense before he runs us into the ground.

Trustees Support Auraria 'As Is' Editor:

The Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado, after careful and complete review of the history of the Auraria Higher Education Center and the 1983 Auraria Higher Education Center Special Study, issues the following resolution:

WHEREAS the Auraria Higher Education Center Special Study found that "reports by the North Central Association which accredits colleges and universities have been positive regarding the academic programs at the in­stitutions";

WHEREAS the Auraria Higher Education Center Special Study found that "the three institutions' different admission standards, emphases and ap­proaches offer students a diverse number of subjects and courses of study · from which to choose;"

(ic:>\e11nuent l{eJ )()rt One week down-only fourteen to go ... or is it fifteen? Who's counting

anyway? It became quite obvious to us while working walk-in registration that many students don' t even know the order of the alphabet let alone how to count to fifteen .

Despite all the complaints that were heard from people going through the process, those who read the signs and followed directions sailed right through. The students who yelled the loudest were the ones that couldn't follow simple directions; they were the ones who rocked the boat for all aboard. After talking with students who were proceeding through the registration line, the majority of them felt that this was the fastest and most efficient walk-in registration in which they had ever participated.

During the two weeks in which we worked, we found the administrators and staff to be extremely student-oriented. They went out of their way to solve problems, give advice, and, in general , tried to help the students anyway they could.

We also found that some of the students that came dpwn to register had some very interesting-if n,ot ridiculous quandaries. Here is a sm.aH sample of some of the asanine questions:

'Tm a UCD student, what do you mean I can' t register for classes at Metro?" (We understand that Metropolitan State College offers a wide range of quality classes; therefore, to be assured of benefiting, why don't you just transfer to our school?)

"Can you tell me where the second floor is located?" (We have heard of some building's not listing the thirteenth floor., but the second floor is direct­ly above the first- isn't it.)

"I need a photo ID?" "Yes Sir." "I don't have a photo ID." "Do you have a dri\'t>r's licenser "Yes, can I use that?"

"Excuse me, but how can I make my Social Secur\ty number fit in these nine blocks?" (For those of you who still do not understand, a Social Security number is nine digits long, any way it is separated).

We might be taking a somewhat cynical point of view, but do you think these are questions that a highly educated, mature, intelligent, well­informed person would ask? Well, I guess they must be, because you asked them.

Now for some facts: 1. The staff of Admissions & Records is outstanding! 2. All the people worked long hard hours helping to see that you receiv­

ed all your classes. 3. The lines run smoother when people don't try to jump in front. 4. If you follow the instructions and fill things out properly, you can

just sail right through. . A big thanks for allowing us to observe the process, and take part m the

overall operation. We especially thank: Karin E. Velazquez, our boss- the greatest! What more can we say?; Dr. Rodriguez; instead of a green ribbon, you deserve a gold star!; Dr. Curtis- the Ray Kroc (founder of McDonalds) of registrars. To Sadie, Karen, Francis, Elaine, and Roxy-we've seen you from the outside, we've worked with you on the inside, and we will never forget all the kind help and advice you gave us over the last two weeks.

To close the report for this week, I would just like to say that while it may nof seem lilee something student government should be reporting on, we felt that to cover something that all students take part in is very much our job. We can now direct students to people we know and that know us. If you have any problem with what is written come by and we can talk about it, you're probably wrong.

P.S.--Mail In Registration was extended another day to help all the students that could not make it down because of all the snow. Better Alonzo.

Thank you, Joe ~eLeo, Brendan M. Kelly, Carol "Jake" Jacobs

~"-~~~--~~~-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~J

STW)Fl\1T SURVEY

Last semester The Metropolitan ran a series under this title, looking brief· ly at the past, present, and future of the Auraria Campus.

Issues that were raised in that series, concerning academic independance, growth, the cost of education, and administrative efficiency have now come into the limelight of public debate.

It would seem that, one way or another, the campus is destined for change. But that comes as no surprise. The only certainty in Auraria's seven­year history has been change.

Even befwe Auraria was nothing more than a gleam ia an architect's eye, • the question of what kind of campus it should be and who it should serve has raged among The Powers That Be.

Throughout it all, one thing is painfully apparent: Virtually no one gives a damn what the students think.

As students, we have been universally regarded as seething protoplasm at the bottom of a rather curious experiment.

Whenever issues come up over what is good and what is bad about the equcational facilities at Auraria, the students are treated as if they were deaf, blind and dumb: Unable to understand their own needs; unable to ar­ticulate their own concerns.

Such an attitude directed toward students at a traditional liberal arts col­lege would be contemptible. But when it is directed toward student bodies that are more mature, harder working, more directed and goal-oriented than at tradition~! schools, it is beneath contempt.

Q: What kind of education do you give a 33,000 lb. gorilla? A: Any kind it wants.

Yet, we as students may be indirectly responsible for the elitist attitudes of administrators and bureaucrats. Because we are so busy with work and family, because we are so certain of our goals, there is less noise, less involve­ment from the students here than at a more traditional campus. That is fre­quently, and wrongly, interpreted as apathy toward the quality of education that we receive.

Even with relatively low tuition rates and financial aid packages, most of us pay a dear price for our educations. The price of our own free time to pur­sue matters other than work and ::::!hool may be the most dear of all. There is precious little time for social and political involvement on campus. Still, most of us are very proud of the quality of education that we have received here. Most of us recognize the need for improvements,

And most of us recognize, at least intuitively, that nobody gives a damn what the students think.

But there is no reason for that to be true. Unlike many traditional college campuses, the majority of us are local, taxpaying citizens, to whom the legislature and the administrators are responsible .

In the past, the Powers That Be have listened to us infrequently, and then only out of a sense of decorum or politeness. But there is no need to be polite. Say what is on your mind. Shove it down their throats.

STYLE

by Grinch Food critic at large. The Metropolitan

The Grinch's Guide

to Gastronomical Gratification

Hampden Avenue in southeast Denver is rapidly gaining a reputation as the place to head to, if you care to take advantage of free happy-hour food. The fact of the matter is: there are so many buffets along Hampden Avenue, from I-25 east to John F. Kennedy Golf Course, that they should re-name the entire street "Buffet Boulevard ."

I can visualize it now, on 1-25 southbound near Yale Avenue: "Buffet Boulevard, exits V2 mile."

Or, Advantage Avenue, through Complimentary City. At last count, there are six free buffets, and one that costs money. However, for reasons of space, I will limit this review to two buffets-ri_ght across from each other in the 7300 block of East Buffet Boulevard--El Torito and The Proof Of The Pudding.

February 8, 1984

Th~e two places differ drastically from each other in terms of per­sonality-and food. El Torito is the casual "family-type" restaurant, with food. that can be ~t described as "Amerimex." El Torito has a nice, quiet ambiance where, if you choose, you can actually converse with someone whilst you go for the eats, and hear every word they say.

The buffet food at El Torito is rather tasty. This is a "we serve you" food­bar, but the portions are generous. Savory enchiladas, mini-chimichangas, and nachos are heaped onto a ceramic plate, then covered with salsa, let­tuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Service is always with a smile, and the margaritas are top-notch. If you go back to the buffet every 20 minutes or so, you will get a different item. The food server didn't even so much as balk when I came back five times. You can help yourself to their generous fresh­fruit plate, all with a smile from the server. Drink service was impeccable, although I was rather shocked (to say the least) with a bartender's vapid repertoire of hammer-murder jokes. I wanted to bludgeon him with my bottle, but chose instead to conserve my energy for the site across the street.

"Imagine biting into a piece of orange-colored cheese and tasting nothing. Even the much-maligned Velveeta has some taste to it ... "

Crossing Buffet Boulevard very carefully, I found myself being scrutinized by a husky, polyester-clad doorman at The Proof Of The Pudding. The Proof is aloof. As I topped the stairway, I was assaulted by 40's music, business suits, ferns, a lot of stained glass, and a loud crowd. This is the home of Denver's largest --and most pretentious-- free buffet.

Unfortunately, size alone doesn't cut it. As a matter or procedure, The Proof Of The Pudding should iss_ue every customer one of those one-piece salt-and-pepper shakers at the door. This is some of the most insipid food I've ever tasted, free or not. Imagine biting into a piece of orange-colored cheese and tasting nothing. Even the much-maligned Velveeta has some taste to it. Or, dull lasagne that tastes like two pieces of balsa wood with styrofoam in the middle. And, horror of horrors, a taco-bar with NO hot sauce?? That, by itself, is culinary sacrilege. Beers and mixed drinks are cheap, though.

Between the two, my choice is El Torito - simply because the food tastes a lot better. You see, size isn't everything; It's how the product tastes. Am­·biance has a lot to do with it too.

Buffet Boulevard, you haven't seen the last of me ... I shall return. O .. ~ A Lesson in Loneliness

by Karen Ziebell Reporter, The Metropolitan

The Lonely Guy, Steve Martin's new comedy, is a surprisingly good movie dealing with a real problem.

Martin turns out a believable per­formance as Larry Hubbard, the ultimate of lonely guys.

Hubbard loses his dancer­girlfriend , played by Robyn Douglass, to a never-ending stream of men. As a result, he becomes a lonely guy, unable to establish even a cur­sory relationship with a woman. So, Hubbard looks to Boston ferns and dogs as his only companions.

He talks to his pillow as if it were hi._ fantasy girl-whose · phone number and name he can't remember. Yet, somehow, his feel­ings are normal and one has empathy for Larry, his pillow, and his problem.

Co-star Charles Grodin, wonderful as experienced lonely guy Warren Evans, downplays his character

almost too much. A great deal of talent is nearly wasted as director Ar­thur Hiller put the kibosh on a thoroughly likeable guy.

Evans and Hubbard become foils for Jack Fenwick, played by singer Steve Lawrence. Definitely not a lonely guy, Fenwick is constantly sur­rounded by seven beautiful women known as the seven deadly sins. He is just the kind of macho man we could live without-and very easily, too.

Hubbard's fantasy girl Iris is pleasantly played by Judith Ivey. The relationship between Ivey and Martin has its moments of reality as well as bordering on the absurd, but it works. These two comedians are well-matched.

In order to cope, Hubbard writes a book on lonely guys and becomes an overnight best-selling author.

But is he happy? Go enjoy this movie. Laugh at

some of the schtick and be touched at the same time. It's a guarantee you'll find yourself in there somewhere. 0

'Reckless' Redeeilled By Undertones of Rock

by D.J. Owens Reporter, The Metropolitan

Reckless is celluloid rock and roll. The themes, the textures, and even the ending all point to shaking off death and moving on.

The story takes place in a dying steel town somewhere south of Cleveland. Johnny Rourke (Aidan Quinn) has to ramble on. Which leaves the only unanswered question: Will he be able to steal away the an­tagonist's girlfriend and take her with him? Rourke also reads in his school file that he is anti-social and "poten­tially dangerous." He tries hard to live up to that potential.

The acting is not convincing, but the combination of popular music and creative cinematography drives the message home and makes the movie intelligible.

join the service, become.steelworkers, or just leave town. Our hero knows what he's going to do.

One does get caught up in the film, as the development is logical and em­pathetic. These could be real people 'in a human condition that exists to­day.

The music does more than augment the storyline. It IS the storyline. Never Say Never by · Romeo Void, Kids in America by Kim Wilde, and Roll Me Away by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are the big hits in the film. Play these songs back to back, and in that order, · and you'll have an idea of what this film is all about.

Seeing Reckless is a great idea for you rock'n'rollers out there. It'll make you feel great; living far from the dy­ing, industrial east. The less reckless might not get the point. 0

"How to ace a test

The imagery of a dying town is presented up front . Smokestacks billowing dirt into the air, gray fac­tories shooting up from a black earth tell the audience exactly why Rourke is restless; more than his acting ever could. Fiery red scenes foreshadow passion and rage, both abundant in Reckless. The love-making scenes are tastefully presented, and, with the ex­ception of the dance scene, stand out above the rest.

In the dance scene, the contrast between bad guy Randy Daniels (Peter Baldwin) and Rourke stings like a bee. Daniels is barely moving while his girlfriend Tracy Prescott (Daryl Hannah) and Rourke are twistin' and turnin' and havin' the time of their lives.

. "We prescribe to the 99 percent

theory," explains Campus Recreation

Director Dick Feuerborn. "Of the general population, only one percent are athletes. So we design our pro­grams around the 99 percent; that way every·individual can participate, regardless of ability."

Intramural leagues, for example,

usually have both "competitive" and "fun" divisions. Racquetball courts are open on a non-league basis. And for those who prefer non-competitive sport, a weight room, dance studio, three gyms and an Olympic-size

swimming pool are open at various hours seven days it week. Feuerborn says a visit to the PE building is also good for the soul.

"There's an opportunity to meet people and socialize. And it's a break from academia."

Beating Bad-Season Blues Come One, Come All

To Campus Rec B-Ball

by Barbara West Special to The Metropolitan

With the end of a troubled season in sight, the MSC women's basketball team bowed 81-39 Saturday night to a tall and aggressive Fort Lewis team.

But even though the Roadrunners' morale may seem to be dragging a lit­tle, the women continue to work hard to improve their performance and continue women's basketball at MSC.

'Tm a little discouraged because it doesn't appear that we've been suc­cessful as far as wins and losses go," says coach Betty Krueger. "But we have made some great strides in br­inging the program back. All the credit g_oes to the kids, the hard work they've done and the dedication they show."

Airway Curriculum Wins FAA Approval

Th~ Dep~rt~ent of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administra­tion recently awarded a certificate of commendation to Metropolitan State College in recognition of Metro's development of an airway cur­riculum which, according to the cita­tion, " ... will help prepare the technical and managerial personnel of the future for vital jobs in the field of aviation education."

The award nationally recognized the airway science curriculum of the Department of Aerospace Science to be the only one of its kind in the nor­thwest region of the United States.

many games during winter break, but she also implemented a shorter season to allow some women from the volleyball team to play basketball.

With the addition of men's basket­ball coach, Bob Ligouri, to the MSC athletic department, some exciting changes are in store for the women as well. When he coached at Grand View College in Iowa, Ligouri had the men and women train and travel together and play their games back to back; he found the arrangment a morale booster which encouraged both teams to play better.

Krueger and Ligouri are already working on plans for next season, in­cluding a stepped-up recruiting ef­fort. Both feel that, with the escalating cost of higher education and a more vigorous program, more quality high school athletes will be looking to play at Metro. D

The Campus Recreation Basketball League will be playing games Mon­days and Wednesdays 6:00 p.m.-10 p.m. Beginning Monday, February 13, 1984, continuing through Wedn­seday, March 14, 1984, the league will be open to all MSC, UCD and DACC students, faculty and staff.

All games will be played at the MSC Multi-Purpose Room.

There will be a $10.00 entry fee for each team, due Wednesday, February 8. On February 8, there will be a mandatory manager's meeting at 6:00 p.m., room 211, PERH Building. Entry fee must in­clude registration form and roster (available at Campus Recreation Of­fice-room 108, PERH Building).

Hoop Jocks to Apply Pressure

by Mike Klahr Special to The Metropolita11

When Coach Bob Ligouri arrived at Metropolitan State College February 1st to revive men's varsity basketball for the 1984-85 season after a six-year absence, he came with a promise: opponents on the Roadrunners' 25-game schedule are going to see Metro in their faces.

"We will be playing pressure basketball," Ligouri said during an interview Friday. "We are going to play the entire length of the floor for 40 minutes. We will eliminate all resting periods for our opponents."

Pressure basketball means a quick­hitting offense and a full court pressure defense, a brand of play Ligouri says that fans like "but one that takes a special player who is mentally tough, who can push himself when he's tired.

"For pressure basketball you've got to be in better condition, and you have to believe you're better because you're going head-to-head the entire game."

Ligouri has won with pressure basketball since taking over in 1980 as head coach at Grand View College, in Des Moines, Iowa. His teams made post-season· NAIA district· play each year, ranked 9th nationally one year, and featured athletes with the mental toughness his system requires.

Ligouri's intensity is readily ap­parent, but he lacks the false postur­ing of many coaches. Where some ' preach defeat is worse than death, Ligouri says, "My players graduate." Ninety-five percent at Grand View did.

Ligouri arrived on campus in December to introduce himself after being selected from among 72 coaches. He found himself courted by a long line of pessimistic well­wishers. All said MSC would never support a team, nor be able to attract talent.

But Ligouri counters that CQm­muter schools have top-ranked, student-supported programs all over the country, and points to DePaul, Villanova, Georgetown and St. John's (N.Y.) as examples.

Ligouri would like to bring in four junior college transfers to supplement the metro Denver talent he hopes to build his team around .• "If we don't have to start all freshmen, I think we can compete with DU and Regis the first year." DU is currently ranked in the NAIA top 20.

"When I came out and saw the campus, I knew basketball could be a success at Metro,' Ligouri said. "I tell the players we recruit that we have a campus with new buildings. The vitality of a metropolitan city. The solitude and beauty of the Rocky Mountains." 0

Neither did the rest of the guys. So when they offered to give you a !if t, that's exactly what they did, proving not only that they were in good shape, but that they were good friends.

So show them what apprecia­tion is all about. lbnight, let it be Lowenbrau.

Lowenbriu. Here's to good friends. ,-c: 1983 Beer Brewed in U.S.A. by Miller Brewing Co .. Milwaukee. WI

DEEffOURS --by Dee Farrell

Before you know it, Spring break will be upon us, and with it the winds of March and the excitement of wat­ching the snow melt.

Should you crave a bit of tropical paradise, there is a special charter flight that you can ride (along with the MSC baseball team) to Tampa, then onto Miami for a drive to some exotic places at points south.

A favorite destination for winter­weary students is Key West, a place for total relaxation, where books and ex'am worrying can wait. The MetroPride charter will take you as far as Miami ($275 roundtrip), where you can drive or fly the 157 miles to the very end of the road.

You have to be careful on your first visit to Key West. It has a strange and magical way of getting a hold on you.

The weather is warm and liquid and discourages any unecessary hur­rying. Perched at land's end, there is a sense of freedom and detachment.

Add in soft, romantic nights that last until morning, the tropical flora and the ramshackle fishing village ar­chitecture, and you begin to unders­tand the attraction of Key West.

The MetroPride charter departs on March 18 and returns on the 25. For those who crave a little more action than laid-back Key West, the trip will also get you to Ft. Lauderdale, ala

To sign up for the trip or to get more information, stop by WC 156, or call 733-7127.

Hiring college grads is something the Army has always done. And lately, we've been doing a lot more of it.

In fact, last year alone nearly 7.000 college grads chose to begin their future as Army officers.

. Why? Some wanted the opportunity to develop valuable leadership and manage­ment skills early in their career.

Others were impressed with the amount of responsibility we give our officers starting out. And still more liked the idea of serving their country around the world.

Interested? Then you can start preparing for the job right now. with Army ROTC.

ROTC is a college proQTam that trains you to become an Army officer. By helping you develop your leadership and manage:. ment ability.

Enrolling can benefit your immediate future, too. Through scholarships and other financial aid.
