Curricula: Hearings Review General Studies by Susan Skorupa Reporter, The Metropolitan

After nine hearings and more than 100 pages of testimony, the General Studies Review Subcommittee is working on a preliminary proposal for revised General Studies Re­quirements at MSC.

Dr. Richard Leventhal, vice­chairman of the subcommittee, said the group is currently re-evaluating and summarizing the suggestions of students, administrators, alumni and the schools, gathered during the hear­ings last fall.

''The President mked that faculty in­vestigate General Studies before the Legislature &ays 'This is what we want you to do."'

-- Dr. Richard Leventhal

The hearings were requested by MSC President Fontera to determine whether. the curriculum was meeting present and future student needs.

"The President asked that faculty investigate General Studies before the Legislature says 'This is what we want you to do,"' Leventhal said.

No special area of the General Studies curriculum is being singled out for changes by the subcommittee.

"We're questioning what we have," Leventhal said, "looking at all aspects and hoping to strengthen and improve the General Studies re­quirements."

Any possible changes in the re­quirements will be a long, involved process. '

Leventhal said subcommittee recommendations will go to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Commit­tee, then be taken under advisement by the Faculty Senate. From there, the proposal will go to the faculty, and finally, the President will receive the results .

Changes in the requirements are not a foregone conclusion.

- "It's possible we may find that what we have is good enough for now and for another ten years," Leventhal said, "We're also looking at how we can improve student needs five years from now."

The preliminary proposal will be made this spring after the subcom­mittee examines every suggestion to determine areas of common concern, and summarizes the findings.

Then, Leventhal said, another round of hearings will probably be hcld. D

Even before House bill 1360 was heard on Monday night, ad­ministrators at MSC were predicting it would have trouble.

And trouble it had, as advocates and opponents of the bill took turns addressing the members of the House Education Committee.

Following a three-and-a-half hour debate, the legislature deadlocked 5-5 on the reorganization bill that would have placed Auraria under the con­trol of the CU Regents.

Because of the tie vote, the possibility lingers that the bill, or an amended version of it, could resur­face and be passed into the legislature before Friday.

Saying there is "sufficient cause for the legislature to make changes," AHEC Executive Director Jerry War­tgow expressed support for the bill, which would have eliminated AHEC and his own position.

"The legislature should pursue HB 1360 as an appropriate, timely, and necessary means to address the issue of higher education," Wartgow said.

Regent Peter Dietze, who also sup­ported the bill, shocked members of the legislature with his opinion that it would take the Regents less time to run the entire Auraria campus than it now takes to run UCD.

Dietze said the current "byzantine structure" of Auraria "consumes so much unnecessary energy" that life for the Regents would be simplified by a takeover.

"Consolidated boards don't solve problems, consolidated boards erode educational diver­sity.,,

·· Gladys Foster Trustee Spokesperson

Opponents of the bill stressed the fundamental differences between MSC and CU. Despite a clause in the bill that specifically maintains the role and mission of MSC, represen­tatives of various MSC interests ex­pressed a common fear that program cuts, tuition hikes, and admissions changes would follow a takeover by the Regents.

"Consolidated boards don't solve problems," said Trustee spokesperson Gladys Foster, "Consolidated boards erode educational diversity."

"It is a positive step forward in grasp­ing a complex issue."

And, said Woodard: "There is a general :Perception that the current structure of government in higher edqcation is neither coherent or logical. The (CCHE) is an outgrowth of concern about the lack of coherence and logic. The Master Plan of 1978 is a successful effort to ra­tionalize the present system."

MSC Student Government Presi­dent Brendan Kelly received a round of applause following his presentation before the committee. Kelly argued that safeguards built into the -bill were insufficient to protect MSC from changes by the Regents.

Ultimately, "The Regents would have the power to change our admis­sions policy," said Kelly. "The state auditor found that UCD set up special requirements for MSC -students. That kind of discrimination could continue." 0

The Metropolitan spoke to Denver attorney Kevin Chavous on his feel­ings about black professionals in America. Chavous is one of the featured speakers at the second "Black World Conference" sponsored by the MSC Department of Afro­American Studies, on February 24.

The Met: "How does the legal profes­sion receive you as a black professional?"

Chavous: "By and large I am well received by the legal profes­sion. I don't know that on a day-by-day basis I am reminded of my race in my profession. But, by the same token, on a profes­sional level if I walk into a King Soopers or The Denver I still may be followed by the store's security guard, or may be required to present three or four pieces of identification in order to cash a check. Believe me, that is not an exaggeration."

The Met: "What do you coRsider are the reasons for the small

On Being and Becoming a number of professional blacks?"

Chavous: " Historically, minority students fare worse on stan­dardized tests than many white students. Part of the reason for this is we all are not privy to the same stan­dards of primary educa­tion. I think the most crucial part of our educa­tional experience is in elementary school, where we learn the basics.

"Let's face it, many of the schools can be substan­dard. In addition, the stan­dard tests are specifically designed for white, middle class students. The average minority student is not aware that they need to work harder to prepare for the test."

The Met: "What barriers have you encountered being a black professional?"

Chavous: "Because you' re black others in the professional community and clients will initially watch more close­ly. In this regard a black person almost has · to prove their competence on a daily

Black Professional basis. This means they must perform above and beyond the standard. Errors seem to stand out more than they do for the white prof es­sionals. The big problem is the initial contact period, after that. when others see your competence and you can provide them service, then that subtle screen is torn down."

The Met: "What do you consider im­partant qualities for the black professional?"

Chavous: "Patience and tolerance are very important because from time to time your race may be an issue. This won't necessarily limit your pro­gress -- in fact, I sincerely believe if a black profes­sional is competent in their profession, and they have the patience, ultimately they will be very successful."

The Met: "How do other blackc; react to you as a black profes-sional?"

Chavous: "One thing that has to be addressed is that a lot of black prof~ionals feel they must totally assimilate into

their professional com-munity. Because of this assimilation, it is perceived by some other blacks that some of their black heritage has been compromised, but that doesn't have to be the case.

"I feel a black profes­sional can be successful, while also being a good role model for other blacks."

The Met: "What advice would you give black students aspiring to become professional peo­ple?"

Chavous: "I know that there will be problems for the black students and it's not always easy; but if they are deter­mined and committed to make it then they will."

The Met: "What is the emphasis of your presentation at the up­coming Black World Con­ference at Auraria?"

Chavous: "I'll focus on the spiritual support that black profes­sionals can give to other blacks. Very few people, black or white, have profes­sional degrees. I feel priveledged to (be able to) pass on what I have learn­ed.

COLlJl\1NISTS February 15, 1984

A Siinple Solution: Set Us Free Since the beginning of this semester, the legislature has been making The

Metropolitan's job easy. Nothing, and I mean nothing, elevates the impor­tance of the campus newspaper and gets the old student blood pumping like an attempted takeover/merger.

The Metropolitan has a long, and pretty distinguished reputation for tak­ing on the multi-headed merger dragon whenever it raises its ugly head, and I am personally proud of whatever small role we have played in raising the public consciousness either on campus or off. Unfortunately, it has put us in a rather uncomfortable position:

In a great twist of irony, conservative members of the predominantly con­servative legislature have accused those opposed to House Bill 1360 of being reactionaries defending the status quo.

Suddenly, the bill's proponents, whose chief aim in reorganization was reputed to be the saving of money, are heralding the bill as a progressive move to streamline and modernize the higher education system. Opponents, then, become the "hysterical'' roadblocks of change.

To some degree, they are right. The vested interests of such bodies as the Trustees are self-evident, and do represent the entrenchment of forces that stand_the most to lose from changes in the system.

But, as the legislature would I'm sure agree, being conservative is not necessarily a synonym for being wrong. Placement of MSC under the CU Regents is a bad idea, always was a bad idea; always will be a bad idea.

Calling a bad bill bad is not "hysterical" -- but throwing a package of sweeping reforms together with little thought to the results is.

Understandably, the legislature is tired of studying and studying. These men and women of action feel an irrepresible need to "do something'' about a system that costs too much money and makes too little sense.

But those are two very separate problems: If the goal is to save money, then the legislature should look elsewhere. The problem does not lie here.

If, on the other hand, the problem is conceptual --if we are guilty ofter­minal complexity-- then the legislature should do some more studying, until they get the hang of it.

In the meantime, I'd like to propose a common-sense, and truly pro­gressive, idea that has been mentioned as a solution to our dilemma by no less than the state Auditors.

· Consider that we, as students, live, breath, eat, sleep, and school in the ci­ty of Denver. Legislators, most of whom come from places like Boonies Col­orado, don't always understand what we're up to down here. Gov~rning boards, also folks residing in Boonies, Colorado, don't always understand us too well, either.

UCD and MSC and DACC have more in common with each other --despite the very large differences -- than they do with the artificial rela­tionships created by their governing boards.

Home Sweet Home Can you imagine: Shauer's bill would have placed an urban-oriented

technical college under The Board of Agriculture, two members of which would be required to "have some connection" with -- agriculture. Does that make sense to you?

Can vou imagine: Shauer's bill would have placed the control of MSC -- a four-year terminal degree college-- in the hands of the one school in the state that has openly discriminated against its graduates .

Can you imagine: Shauer's bill would ]Jave placed one of the most in­novative urban campuses in the country into the hands of the two most tradi­tional hierarchies in Colorado higher education.

So, let's talk change: We are Denver people, members of a fraternity that includes nearly half the population in the state.

That is a broad, and significant common interest, shared among the three schools of this campus. Why can't the legislature do the really innovative thing: Sever Auraria from all of its existing ties, and place it under a single . board made up of people -- like us -- who live and work and think in the city of Denver.

Huh? Why not? Of course, we all know why not. The vogue thing to do this year is to get

rid of boards, not to create them. And, when all is said and done, Auraria is growing while other schools in the state begin to slip -- our extra dollars are needed to help support the true failures of higher education.

Auraria has nothing to gain with an association with any existing govern­ing board, and a lot to lose. Cut us loose. We are different. We are a success. And it's high time that we stop taking the blame for a problem that we didn't create, and that we can't solve.

Wounds to Women Not Healing · Editor:

Equality, in the form of legal authorization by law, must be granted to all people in order for these United States to hold valid any claim or statement made asserting itself as a. free country.

During November 1983, the Equal Rights Amendment did not pass in the House of Representatives by six votes. For some unknown reason those in­dividuals who deemed it necessary to blatantly deny equal rights within a free nation were individuals who were elected and sworn into office by one of the same arms of freedom they now turn against. No matter what justification, format, or gesture offered, those who refuse equal rights to others are as archaic as were slave purchasers - who committed heinous acts which denied freedom through varied forms of forced confinement, owner­ship of humans, second class citizenship or any degredation that was directed towar_d certain individuals, purportedly under the guise of equality for all.

Let freedom ring. It is not just six fellows; rather, it is six times six ... who have repeatedly, throughout history, by their own hand, made a mockery of dichotomies such as: freedom, justice, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These particular dichotomies just mentioned, are constructs which the Free World is purportedly exemplified by. These dichotomies are statements, issued through various representatives of the free world and from one of its representatives, the United States. It is the American Government as a body, which maintains that its practices are of fair treatment, equal opportunities, and freedom for all. These constructs are stated as basic rights which are of­fered to all individuals who live within the confines of the United States.

It is this writer's opinion that, any assertions the American Government makes pertaining to fairness, equality and freedom must become realities --that is to say, put into operation -- or else the Government of America must stop kidding itself; as well as teasing its people about thoughts of fairness, or concepts of equality and freedom. Further, elected officials who hide under the no vote, must someday realize that like the ostrich which buries its head in the sand, they can, and are, seen. The unfortunate end result of unwill­ingness to vote for equality is recognized by thousands, who clearly see deliberate refusal to grant equal rights to all. Injury occurs, as the result of lack of concern, which will be felt as a rippling blow to democracy throughout the free world, and until Americans have the opportunity to cor­rect their error by replacing you when election time comes.

A well-placed whip. Six no votes slashed into the skin of this nation, caus­ing a jolt which rippled throughout the backs of our country. Luckily, because of this overtly negative act, a realization has developed of the countless cries from individuals who were, and still are, slashed by the pro-

( kl\e11unent !~port In case you haven't noticed there is a Student Govern'ment Questions and Answers Board on the second floor of the Student Center. Several Questions have been asked: 1. Is Spring registration cancelled?

No, as a matter of fact, admissions is looking for people to work Summer Registration. Call 629-3253.

2. Can clocks and pencil sharpeners be put in the buildings on campus? You bet. The SFPC has agreed to put clocks and pencil sharpeners in every lounge on campus.

3. Rumor has it that MSC wants to start a radio station again. The ASMSC Senate is looking into the possibility of a radio station at Auraria. They are in need of people for input and support. If you're in­terested ask for Ben Boltz at 629-3253.

Look for the Questions and Answers Board and write down your ques­tions.

The next Club Affairs meeting is Tuesday, March 6, 4:00 p.m. in room 256 of the Student Center. All clubs are required to be there so as to unders­tand your involvement with Metro.

Once again we as students are faced with having to tell the Colorado General ~mbly that we like Auraria and we don't want it changed.

A bill that was introduced in the House Education Committee on Mon­day, (HB 1360) has been tabled because of a 5-5 split vote. If the bill sponsor is able to change the mind of one of the house education members so that they vote in favor, it would affect each one of us.

verbial whip. Again, that type of whip left deep gashes of inequality in the flesh that it rips from its victims. Torn flesh, because it was not considered equal, much like myriad of castrations, hangings, and other flesh-tearing acts in which groups or "six persons" deemed it necessary not to consider the bearers of that flesh as equal.

Pointedly, it is time to put down my structured, secure nest, and educate myself in a manner which is purposeful, meaningful, appropriate, and con­gruent with my thoughts concerning equal rights. Interestingly enough, the concept "Equal Rights" has become a terribly misunderstood phenomenon, where, in order to understand equal rights as a phenomenon, we as a society, must put that equal right into daily practice. The emergence of which is, a free country and world. Apparently, the thought "Free World" combined with the thought "Equal Rights," are paradigms which are years ahead of their time, because these concepts are not, as of today, actually written into law. Instead they are only pondered and debated. Mainly, it is these par­ticular thoughts of fairness, equality and freedom, which have awakened a drive within me to join the millions of others who feel that all persons have the basic right to receive legal guarantees of equality.

World's Worst Writers Wanted The World's Worst Short Story Contest 11945 Humboldt Dr. Northglenn, CO 80233

Editor: Once again it is time for the World's Worst Short Story Contest. Oh boy!

Anyone can enter, it's easy. Simply make up a bad short story, type it --(dou­ble spaced, please), and then mail it to the contest address above. If you'd like your entry returned you must enclose an SASE. The contest deadline for this year is April 1st, and the winner will be announced on April 15th. There is a $6 entry fee, and all money collected will go to the winning (?) writer.

The contest will be judged by last year's winner, Gerald M. Christensen, and he will be fair. (If you want special consideration, you might bake him a batch of cookies.)

This second annual World's Worst Contest is serious business, so let's get serious. · Nan Wigington

P.S. This is not a hoax! & Gerald M. Christensen

This bill reorganizes the governing boards of Colorado schools to place all such institutions under the Board of Regents, the State Board of Agriculture, or the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines. This eliminates all other governing boards and their student advisory boards. It changes the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and gives the three new govern­ing boards greater independence to reflect their broader scope of duties.

Metropolitan State College would come under the control of the Board of Regents. Instead of becoming a univ:ersity, which some students might sup­port, we would continue as a college while losing funding to the CU system. Programs the Regents do not feel are appropriate or politically feasible would be cut. The open enrollment policy at MSC (high school diploma, or GED) could be changed to reflect the University Standard.

I am unwilling to accept any of the above mentioned changes. Call And Win The Defeat Of HR ! 360.

Futuristic 'Tartuffe' Fails; Concept, Acting to Blaine

by Karen Ziebell Reviewer, The Metropolitan

The MSC Players took a time-tested 17th century French play by Moliere and not only jazzed it up, but punked it out, too.

They should have left well enough alone.

Director Gary Mazzu's noble ex­periment -- a futuristic "Tartuffe" --did not fail solely on its own merits. The cast certainly helped.

Moliere, for the uninformed, wrote his beautifully lyrical lines in 1658. His play is filled with religious hypocrisy and human weaknesses as a family is overrun by a zealous fanatic.

Whether it sounds like it or not, "Tartuffe" js more comedy than tragedy.

The MSC cast lost some of the magic and almost made it tragic as they stumbled over the poetry, which should flow over the ear as smoothly as milk and honey.

G. Michael Keros, as Organ, is both frantic and amusing in his role of the gullible but doltish father. Brian Robertson, as Tartuffe, swag­gers around the stage playing pirate. Pirates come from · Pittsburgh and

Robertson is in left field on this one. Betsy Gadeken is cast as Elmire, Organ's wife and object of Tartuffe's lust. Here is one reason why the price of admission -- free to MSC students -- is worthwhile. Gadeken pulls off the only believable performance by a major character.

Another redeeming character is that of Dorine, a lady's maid. Moni­que Vermont shows some backbone as the mouthy maid brave enough to speak her mind.

Moore's Good Humor a Plus. In Tale of Rage and Jealousy

by Mary A. Lindsey Reporter, The Metropolitan

Claude Eastman thinks his wife is fooling around--all the evidence points to it--his young, beautiful, sexy wife is fooling around. ·

What would you do? Consider seeing "Unfaithfully

Yours," especially if you are a Dudley Moore fan. The film has some high good humor, and outstanding scenes in the exploration of a fragile ego threatened by a very human condi­tion, jealousy.

The story moves on a number of levels, not the least of which is the musical score; throughout the movie the symphony and music are real. Whether in concert or rehearsal, the musicians' love of the craft bobs with the violin bows and grows round with the horns. Moore is at his best as the twitching, grimacing, livingroom

conductor that we all can be, in front of our own private stereos.

The maze of misunderstandings is helped along beautifully by Albeit Brooks as Norman Robbins, Claude's right-hand man. Norman always has everything figured out. Claude, on the other hand, can hardly think.

Daniella, the beautiful wife, is played by Nastassja Kinski, and Ar­mand Assante plays the suspected in­terloper, Max. To add to the confu­sion, everyone thinks they are talking about the same thing, and consequent misinterpretations begin to drive Claude over the brink.

Many scenes are complete in themselves as well as being a part of the whole. Watch for the "dueling violins" and most of the kitchen talks. The humor is sustained and honest, with just enough exaggeration to make it art.

All this makes for good entertain-ment. Don't miss it. 0

'Fib Four' Fall Flat; . Juggler Steds ShoW by D.J. Owens Reporter, Th~ Metropolitan

In honor of the20•th anniversary of the Beatles touching American soil, The Rainbow Music Hall hosted a tribute party last Thursday. Featured in the event were dancers, a juggler, film clip~, and a Beatles clone band --The Rave.

A "We love the-Beatles" feeling was overwhelming as the Rainbow unveiled their two new video screens. First and second generation Beatlemaniacs showed up to vent their love for "the band that changed · a nation."

The atmosphere hinted heavily of vaudeville. Flashing "APPLAUSE" signs served as a constant reminder that the event was being filmed by Cablevision.

The headline act-- The Rave -­wasn't as good as other Beatle clone bands, such as Beatlemania. Their at­tempts at harmonizing fell far short, and only the drummer sounded close to his counterpart. Where is the originality? Where is the innovaton? Where is the creativity? Their ex­istence in the pop-music scene con­stitutes nQ!hing short of a desire to eliminate the creativity of rock and roll entirely -- The Rave -- was no ex­ception. They rehash old material to

'Tartuffe' continu~from page 10

Orgon's daughter Mariane, played by L. Laine Wilson, is a whining, whimpering brat whose lines typical­ly end in a long, drawn-out wail wor­thy of a whack or two.

Jack Oden portrayed Orgon's son Damis who threatens no one in par­ticular with his outbursts of childish temperament.

The costumes are another matter, though. Luanne Gagliardi's designs are, well, different. One student, upon seeing the costumed actors in the hallway, likened them to televi­sion's "Dr. Who." That's a pretty ac­curate description. Purple jumpsuits top alpine-like boots, along with leotards, and red quilted tunics that made for some interesting costumes. If only-the actors were as colorful

as their clothes, the combination might have worked.

What does work, however, is see­ing the play as it was first written and performed.

"Tartuffe" will be presented February 15-18 at 8 p.m. in Arts 271. For reservations and further informa­tion, call 629-3033. 0

The Beatles look-alike contest gave the audience a chance to be in the show. Some contestants looked remarkably close to the originals, while it was hard to tell who the others thought they looked like.

Overall, the celebration did not do the Beatles justice; it was greeted with mixed reaction as a packed hall slowly got thinner and thinner.

SPORIS Robin Heid' s

Wild Life Guidebook Motorcycling in Denver is a great way to get killed; everybody knows that.

Less generally known is the risk minimization strategy which makes it easier to stay alive. Simply put, it is this:

Seek the safe spaces and go there. Let's take the Automobile-Left-Turn-Across-Traffic (ALTAT). This is

perhaps the most common and deadly traffic threat faced by motorcyclists, mostly because drivers don't understand the laws of motion, don't know how to look for bikes, and, once they've done it, there aren't many ways out. Even worse is the fact that there's always a space you must transit past every lurking turner where he can get you no matter how good you are.

The tactical way to solve this problem is by making sure you cross intersec­tions with a car whenever possible; this increases the probability of detection by the Lurker and decreases your chances of getting mashed. Other ways in­clude using your headlight in daylight for added visibility or accelerating through the danger zone so you spend less time in it.

Strategically, the best way to deal with the AL TAT problem is to stay on one-way streets.

Think about it: the ALTAT threat simply does not exist on one-way streets. Thus, they are inherently safer traffic spaces; by riding on them, you eliminate your greatest danger and dramatically reduce your risk while motorcycling.

Take the commute I make to Auraria, for example. I go in on 13th, Speer and Larimer, and return via Lawrence, Speer and 14th. I face the ALTAT only on a one-block stretch of side street near my home.

Novices in particular should keep this in mind because you need all the help you can get. Some 90 percent of all motorcycle accidents involve first­year riders, many of whom fors!ke the "dangerously busy" arteries like Speer and 14th for ALTAT-infested streets like University and 12th. This is the motorcycling equivalent of skiing in the trees your first day on the slopes.

Understanding the concept of seeking the safe spaces and going there is the key to minimizing risk while motorcycling; helmets and leather only mitigate it. Eliminating the ALTAT threat is just one example of this strategy in action. We'll look at some other applications another time.

Oasis Amid the Bustle For Auraria students with a desire for sport and exercise but neither the

time nor money for the health spa scene, the PER building swimming pool offers an exceptional recreational opportunity.

Open at varying hours seven days a week, the never-crowded Olympic pool has lap and open swimming, diving and, in warm weather, a suntann­ing deck, all in a low-key, relaxed environment.

"You can come down here during lunch," said Campus Recreation direc­tor Dick Feuerborn, "swim for an hour, then go back to your afternoon classes revitalized and refreshed."

Intramural swimming leagues are also active, for those who like their recreation competitive. . Towels and locks can be rented for 25 cents each; you have to bring your own suit, though.

Swimmers Poised for Nationals Looking to better 1974 MSC swimmers who finished 11th in the nation

the MSC coed swim team has qualified swimmers in 14 events for the NAIA national swim meet in Arkansas, Feb. 28 through Mar. 4.

Much, of the success of the team stems from the lady swimmers, said Coach Scott D Andrea, and with all the strength and success of the women this year, there is a strong possibility of a women's team next year.

Betsy Weber and Barb Bogner are the top women: Weber has qualified in four events; Bogner, in six. In addition, Saundra Weld and Karen Lanphiar qualified in the 200 yd. medley relay and the 200 yd. freestyle relay.

D' Andrea said both Weber a~dBogner are seeded in the NAIA top five in three events. D'Andrea thinks swimmer John Thierry and diver Jeff Smith can finish in the top 10 in Arkansas. Thierry has qualified for both the NCAA and NAIA with school records in the 50 and 100 yd. freestyle and has the potential to win both events at the NAIA Nationals. O

Unlike your average health club, (non-student) guests are welcome; they just have to pay a buck and stay with yo~. On weekends from noon to 1 :00, you can even bring your kids.
