No Study, No Money

by Kevin Vaughan News Editor, The Metropolitan

The bill that would totally reorganize the governance of higher education in Colorado was amended last Wednesday to include a provision establishing a panel to study ways to improve the present system.

In addition, the amendment to H.B. 1360 includes a threat to freeze funding at present levels if the gover­ning boards of Colorado's colleges and universities don't cooperate with the study.

Before the changes were . made in the bill sponsored by Rep. Paul Shauer, R-Littleton, the House Education Committee had deadlock­ed in a 5-5 vote and tabled the con­troversial legislation. But just two days later, the amended version squeaked by in a 6-4 vote and now goes on to the full House.

The amendment creates a commit­tee of nine to study ways to improve the present system of 24 campuse5 which are governed by six different boards. Three of the nine panel members will come from the Col­orado Commission on Higher Educa­tion, and the rest will be appointed.

In its original form, Shauer's bill would have placed all of the state's higher education facilities --except for the Colorado School of Mines-­under the domain of either the University of Colorado Board of Regents or the State Board of Agriculture.

The Auraria Higher Education Center Board and the Consortium of State Colleges would be abolished by the bill and MSC would be merged with UCD. Shauer has repeatedly said that reorganization is needed of a system deemed by some to be out of control.

"I think everyone realizes that we need to look at the whole higher education industry in the state," Shauer said Monday, "and see if we are giving the taxpayers their moneys worth."

Shauer cited demographics in defending his plan to streamline the higher education system. He said there are now 25 percent fewer col­lege age ·students than there were in 1979 and that no major increases are expected before the mid-1990s.

The threat to freeze funding was added, Shauer said, to make sure that both those for and those against the proposed changes at least honesy con-

Parking Woes Get a 'Quick Fix' by Michael Ocrant Reporter, The MetTopolitan

The AHEC board of directors voted February 13 to allow work to begin on several projects aimed at temporarily alleviating limited park­ing at Auraria.

The board voted to: • Negotiate with. The Denver

Center for Performing Arts park­ing garage at a discounted rate. Currently its rate for students is $2 per day.

•Pave two vacant lots that would handle approximately 175 vehicles at a cost of $65,000.

• Restripe the perimeters of mon­thly permit lots and allow only compact cars to park there, ad­ding approximately 50 spaces at a cost of $15,000.

• Study the feasibility of a free bus shuttle running from Mile High Stadium to Auraria. This opera­tion would be expected to cost from $50,000 to $100,000.

A shuttle, automated guideway transit system, or parking garages are the options being considered as per­manent solutions to space shortages, according to AHEC Executive Direc­tor Jerry Wartgow.

The campus will lose spaces in August, when the Tivoli shoppiµg complex is scheduled to open and take over lots.

Under the plan for a shuttle from Mile High, students would park and ride free to the campus.

Use of DCPA parking and con­struction of the two new lots will replace about 50 percent of the space that will be lost, Wartgow said.

The board will probably decide during its March 12 meeting which of the three options to implement, War­tgow said.

An AGT will not be feasible, War­tgow said, unless AHEC can find a partner, like RTD or Tivoli, to share the costs of construction.

Auraria and RTD have meanwhile asked firms interested in building an AGT to submit proposals giving the firm's qualifications and presenting a range of prices for various systems, Wartgow said.

Under the plan for a shuttle from Mile High, W artgow said, students would park and ride free to the cam­pus.

Parking rates on campus would probably be raised to subsidize the cost of operating a shuttle, Wartgow said. 0

"Wright has been massaging the budget for years in order to get these increases." -Dr. Ed Karnes

Faculty outrage about the situation led to the state legislative audit and newspaper publicity in 1983.

"We tried to handle this in-house at first ," said Faculty Senate president, Frieda Holley. "The faculty went privately to the trustees and let them know we knew what was going on .. .. We were hurt. When (the practices) didn't stop, we were angry .... I don't know who called the Rocky Mountain News, nor who approached the state auditor."

The state auditor's office released its "Review of Budget -- Payroll Pro­cess" between MSC and the Consor­tium for State Colleges" last October. The review compared staffing pat­terns for fiscal years 1981-84 and also checked the legitimacy of an extra $57 ,000 increase for exempt ad­ministrative staff for FY '84.

The auditor's report reads in part: "Metro staff supplied us with a

listj ng of 57 unclassified ad­ministrative personnel whose base salaries for FY '81 had been adjusted for the staffing pattern submitted for FY '82. These adjustments range from $500 to $3,600 and totaled $65,980. These adjustments resulted in an ac­tual salary increase of $237 ,595, or 17 percent for these 57 employees for FY '82 rather than the $171,615, or 11.8 percent listed in the staffing pattern. We could find no similar base ad­justments in the faculty staffing pat­tern."

Salary adjustments were often foot­noted in this way on the S.P. reports: "Base adjustments for hiring ine­quities and inequities created by mid­level classified salary increases, etc."

The auditors state: "In our opinion the footnote alone did not adequately

MSC Psychology Dept.

Pattern reports, "and Curt Wright is still in office ... " "To my knowledge, only (MSC president) Fontera can call him on the carpet, and he hasn't done anything." Karnes said.

When asked about the lack of disciplinary action,.Fontera said "I've said we would scrupulously follow the auditor's report, and we have .... The auditors were within their rights to suggest disciplinary action, but they did not. That is why I haven't and will not."

However, Dave Barba, state auditor and chief writer of the Budget/Payroll Process audit, said, "Disciplinary recommendations were not within the scope of this audiL . . The scope of an audit must be set at the outset. We were trying to find proof of the allegations .. .. I think the individuals responsible are known to those who read the audit. Disciplinary measures have to come from the trustees and Metro ad­ministrators. As a governing board, the trustees are also responsible for all that goes on. That's why I asked for their response (in the audit report) . . .. Curt Wright could easily be made the scapegoat in this."

Dr. Rich Laughlin, president of the Board of Trustees, said "The college is totally resp0nsible for providing the information backing up the budget. Yes, we (trustees) ultimately approve these things, but that's based on the integrity of the institution. I don't want to say it's Curt Wright's fault; I think there were errors, and some un­fortunate things have happened."

"There was no fraud involved here," Wright said. "The auditors made their recommendations and they are being implemented." O

"What it does is exacerbate a feeling of distrost among the faculty. Unfor­tunately, we are not very good at look­ing out far ourselves. I think it has given fuel to the idea that the Auraria concept isn't working. That's the worst thing about it -the effect it has had on merger talk- that the campus could be run more efficiently. "

"In my opinion, Curtis Wright was less than up-front in making his pro­posals to the board of trostees. "

Careers In

Enrollment in the Computer & Management Science degree program has almost doubled during the last five years at MSC.

"Computer & Management Science is growing faster than MSC can pro­vide," said John Arntz, assistant director of the MSC Institutional Research Department. "We are runµing out of professors to teach the extra classes," sa,id Arntz.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that jobs in the computer industry are expected to increase 37% by 1990 and prospects for job seekers are excellent. Many students are not aware of the types.of ]obs available working with computers --or the background needed to get a job.

The following is a list of job descriptions, salaries, educational re­quirements and employment outlook for the industry.

•Business Computer Programmers write detailed information called programs that tell computers how to perform. These programs are coded in­to the computer by using a specialized computer language. Computers can retrieve data stored in another computer, reorganize data and perform calculations. Large companies often use computers. to accurately maintain and calculate financial and billing records.

The minimum education required is an associate degree in business pro­gramming, but a four-year degree in computer science with emphasis in 111ath, business or accounting is strongly recommended.

There ar~ over 1,200 business computer programmers employed in Col­orado. Job entry level salary ranges between $1,400 to $1,890 a month.

Employment outlook in Colorado is average to good, except in the Southeast part of the state. There are currently positions available for ex­perienced programmers as the trend to computerize information increases. Because the competition is tough, non-experienced graduates may have dif­ficulty finding employment.

• Computer Engineers plan, design and help build computers and related equipment as well as help companies decide what computer equip­ment they need. They collect and study information to determine computer equipment needs of a plant or agency. They design new or improved com­puter systems and development mathematical models to solve engineering problems.

A bachelor's degree in computer science or electrical engineering is usually required. For a business-oriented job, a background or bachelor's degree in accounting, business management or economics is required. For a science­oriented job, a~ackgi:ound or degree in engineering, computer science, math or physical science is needed.

There are about 6,500 computer specialists, mostly programmers or analysts, employed in Colorado. Entry level job position salaries range from $1,600 to $2,000 a month.

Growth in this occupation is faster than average and employment outlook is good. Demand for computer engineers is expected to increase as computer usage expands.

•Computer Operators follow a set of detailed instructions to insert, alter and monitor computer programs. They ensure that the correct information has been fed into the computer and then control and monitor the system while it is running. If errors or failures occur, the computer operator follows prescribed methods to locate the difficulty. ·

Several months of advanced training beyond high school is usually re­quired. However, a high school graduate showing an interest and aptitude for the work may receive on-the-job training.

Currently there are about 2,960 computer operators employed in Col­orado. At entry level, a trained computer operator can earn between $1,100 to $1,500 a month.

Employment opportunity in Colorado is average to good. As new com­puter systems are developed and system capabilities are improved, there will be a continued demand for computer operators.

•Computer Service Technicians keep computer systems in good working condition through regular service and repair. Those who perform their duties outside shops, in customers' places of business are called field service technicians. Maintenance involves adjusting, cleaning and lubricating parts. Repair work, which is more difficult, requires the technician to analyze in­formation, diagnose the problem and make the proper repairs.

Educational requirements for shop technicians usually include three to four years of preparation. One to two of these years are spent training in basic electronics after finishing high school, and at least two years are spent in on-the-job training. Field service technicians normally need two years of training followed by experience work in the field. ·

Entry level salaries range from $6-$8 an hour. Currently there are over 500 computer service technicians in Colorado.

Employment outlook in Colorado is good with the exception of the Southeast region. Most future job openings will be from growth in the com­puter industry.

e Graphic Programmers write step-by-step instructions which enable computers to present informatio1,1 in the form of drawin;s, graphs, contour

• maps and diagrams. After deciding what kind of graphic display would be beneficial in illustrating a set of data or in solving a problem, they use a specialized computer language to write the appropriate program. These pro­grams are often used to illustrate and analyze ideas and problems associated with the design and manufacturing of items such as automobiles and air­craft. However they can also be used in the creation of layout drawin~ for electrical and chemical processes, exploration maps and petroleum and min­ing, business graphs and contour and weather maps.

Most employers require ·a bachelor's degree in computer programming with several credit hours in graphics programming. At the present there are fewer than 100 graphic programmers in the state.

Entry level salaries range from $1,060 to $1,390 a month. Programmers with graduate degrees or with several years of experience can earn as much as $2,600 a month. . '

Job outlook in Colorado is good to excellent, especially in the Denver area and the Northeast part of the state. With industry's increased use of com­puter assisted design and manufa~turing, the demand for graphic program­mers is expected to remain high throughout the 1980's.

•Scientific Programmers help scientists by instructing computers to store and manipulate data. Using specialized computer languages, ·scientific pro­grammers design step-by-step processes which tell computers how to store data, solve particular calculations, design problems and to organize infor­mation into a specified format.

The minimum education required is a bachelor's degree in computer science. Those who majored in related areas such as math or engineering may be considered. However, they must have a certain number of required coursework hours in computer science. Graduate degrees are required by some employers.

There are over 900 scientific programmers employed in Colorado. Entry

level salaries range between $1 ,600 to $2,400 a month. Employment outlook is average. Although the need for scientific program­

mers is great, limited project funds give the impression that the demand is ·only moderate.

• System Analysts help companies and other organizations solve their pro­blems through the use of computers. They gather and analyze information about the company's needs and the systems it .... is already using, then advise the administrators about the programs necessary to handle the various func­tions of the company. The system analyst decides what programs and equip­ment are need~d, designs and tests the system and writes instructions for the programmers who will program the systems. The analyst must also make charts, diagrams and other instructions in non-technical language for the use of company managers. Analysts confer with people in all reas of the com­pany, attend meetings and make presentations and proposals. It is important that analysts relate well to others. '

This is not an occupation that one b~mes employed directly after graduation because experience with computers is necessary. Some analysts have four year degrees in computer science, others have four year college , math degrees and programming experience. And still others are program­mers who have gradually advanced to the position Qf system analyst. Almost half of all systems analysts have bad at least three years of experience in com­puter programming. . There are approximately 3,390 business, scientific and electronic data pro­

cessing system analysts in Colorado. Entry level salaries range from $1,760 to $1,770 a month. The average earnings for an experienced analyst is about $2,300 a month. '

Employment outlook is limited to average in. the short run but in the ldng run employm~nt possibilities look favorable. ,

All of this information was compiled with the assistance of COCIS, Col­orado Career Information Systems, which is a computer listing of job descriptions prepared by the State Department of Labor EJiforcement, State Department of Commerce & Development, U.S. Department of Labor, regional councils of government and many other national, state and local services.

Though it may seem like simple road construction, the Larimer replacement has dramatic, and complicated implications for students at Auraria, as well as for businesses downtown.

The road will be built on a new alignment along the north edge of the campus, setting the stage for an im­proved tra~portation and access plan for downtown Denver, which will, in turn, allow the closure of Larimer and Lawrence ' through Auraria. The closure of these streets has been a main objective of the Auraria Master Plan since 1974, when a right-of-way for a replace­ment road was set aside.

"The Lawrence-Larimer one-way system," said AHEC Executive Direc­tor Jerry Wartgow, "is Auraria's chief traffic concern."

"These two streets have prevented realization of a unified campus," said Wartgow. "As a result, pedestrian circulation has been perilous, effi­ciency of operations has been im­paired, and the noise and fumes of

traffic have polluted the heart of the campus. The cumulative effect is a -hazardous, life-threatening situation for the Auraria campus constituency . ... "

Though everyone in the surroun­ding community is sympathetic to

· Auraria's problem, ther&s an ongoing discussion of what the best solution might be. The Auraria directors envi­sion an Auraria Parkway --a two­way, six lane road along the W azee­W alnut corridor, providing access to and from I-25, the Colfax viaduct, and the existing, or modified road-

way network - through downtown. The new alignment of the Larimer replacement is a critical part of the plan. The plan itself, however, has raised controversy among represen­tatives of the surrounding business communities, who wonder what im­pact the Auraria Parkway will have on their plans for the future. In­terested parties include represen­tatives of downtown Denver, the Skyline Urban Renewal area, the

Central Platte Valley association, Larimer Square Associates, and the lower downtown area. A big pro­blem, at this point, is how and where the parkway connections to downtown will be constructed.

The probability of increa5ed traffic flow through lower.. downtown, as a result of the Auraria Parkway, bas alarmed members of the business community who want to protect and encourage the development of the areas pedestrian, residential, and retail environment, and, at the same time, has focused attention on the critical need for a new transportation and access plan.

Denver Partnership President Richard Fleming brought up the sam~ point in a letter to the highway department. He said, "Lack of a city­wide transportation and access plan bas been ... a major stumbling block in understanding the implications of the Auraria Parkway project and its various components."

Although the need for an access plan has been studied almost con­tinuously since 1944, no solution has been found.

Projections for the future growth of Denver point out that time is running out for a solution. Proponents of the Auraria Parkway are hoping the} have the answer.

Robert Clevenger of the Colorado Division of Highways summed up the issue, saying, "While there are still -constraints to potential replacement options, it is critical that maximum advantage be taken of this opportuni­ty." 0

Mid-East Rel~gion, Politics Not a Homogeneous Mix by Susan Skorupa Reporter. The Metropolita11

Keeping poltics out of discussions of Mideastern religi?ri is difficult. Members of Auraria's Interfaith Ministry found this out fmt hand from· their Religions of the Mideast Issues Forum. .

Ministry members Diane McDonald and Donna Coellen cautioned the audience before each of the last two presentations that speakers weren't in a position to answer political questions, but· both lectures drew political responses from the audience. . . . .

On February 13, the Ministry presented Elizabeth Siddiqui, an American Moslem and lecturer on Islamic issues.

She explairred the articles of faith of Islam .a.nd the m~ral and religious obligations of Moslems, then tackled the pohhcal. questions. . .

Siddiqui said the situation in the Mideast has little to do with what is seen and heard in the American media.

"You're hearing about half of what's happening there," she said, "either because media people don't know what's going on or because somehow it just doesn't appear in the media." .

In virtually every Islamic country, Siddiqui said, there are oppressive rulers who want to persecute people who are trying to live under the die; tates of God and the rules of their consciences.

Most Moslem countries have no religious freedom, she said. "4 it any wonder there are revolutions, coups, .~tt~mrts .by .P~ple to

assert their rights to be ruled in the way they want? S1ddiqw said. Islam rule says do not oppress anyone, do not wrong anyone, but do not let yourself be oppressed. If attacked, a Moslem must fight back."

"Islam gives every human being the right to freedom and th!~ freed~m isn't being given to Moslems in many parts of the world today, she said, "You as a human have a responsibility for how you're being governed."

Palestinian Christian Salwa Sifri, forum speaker on February 20, agreed with Siddiqui's opinion of the American media.

"The media gives the impression it (the war) is Christians against Moslems," Sifri said, "but that's not really true. It's more political than that. Moslems and Christians often take the same side in an issue."

Sifri is a Palestinian who left Palestine for Lebanon in 1949. She came to the U.S. with her husband when civil war broke out in Lebanon.

She said Palestinians and Israelis could live together in one country if they are given the same civil rights which Palestinians living in Israel are denied.

Sifri said it's up to the Israelis to bestow these rights to Palestinians. "If you are very strong yc;m can be magnanimous," she said. "If you're

weak, you want your rights first." The issues forum concludes February 27 with a panel discussion featur-

ing Siddiqui, Sifri, and the first forum speaker, Joe Zalkind. D '

Auraria Takes Priority In 'Option C' Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when dealing with cur­

rent restructuring proposals for higher education is the very long and painful history of the battle. The state policies and goals for educating its students have shifted like the winds, each cause being taken up by a new group of

- warriors. It is an unfortunate fact, that with each new wave of idea-mongers, the

lessons of the past go unnoticed, and unsound concepts resurface again and again.

Worse, perhaps, ideas that are valid slip to the wayside and are lost in the­great volumes of paper that fuel the political machine.

The Metropolitan has a file of materials related to the history of merger proposals three or four feet thick. Most of that information is useless, a morass of bureaucratic tail-covering. Some of it is downright silly, like the Regents' "secret. memo" which was written in the spirit of James Bond and G. Gordon Liddy. Some of it can be quite instructive.

As an example of the latter kind, I would like to excerpt here from the Col­orado Commission on Higher Education Report of December 1983. Under their section on Zero Based Budget Analysis for Higher Education, the CCHE outlines in very clear and concise terms the various philosophies that could delineate the goals of higher education far into the future. Each of the alternatives looks at what higher education could be like with fewer students and fewer dollars to go around --something that is generally considered in­evitable.

The first option is to reduce enrollments through caps, fun"damentally preserving the current system but at a less ambitious level. All schools would suffer enrollment reductions on a percentage basis with no favoritism being shown to any school. The probable consequence of this option is a severely reduced access for students in Colorado, and a threat to the quality of educa­tion at smaller institutions.

The second option is to reduce enrollments at all but Colorado's research institutions, completely eliminating some of the state's smaller schools. The reason offered is that research schools are critically important to the economy of the state. The probable consequence of such a policy would once again be reduced access and diversity.

The third option --and one that I supported in last week's column-- is to reduce enrollments at all but urban institutions. The rationale for such a move is stated quite clearly in the report: "Urba~ institutions provide access to higher education and job tr~ining for

the majority of Colorado students. With the changing demographics of the col­lege student, it is important to respond to the adult student and the traditional­age but non-residential student. The urban institutions can do this best and at an attractive per-student cost. The research universities in urban areas are the next priority because they also provide access in programs other than their research specialties. Rural institutions are not where the students are and are relatively expensive for the type of education provided because of their small size."

The consequences of pursuing this option are even more enlightening: "At any given budget level this option would provide more access than any of

the other enrollment reduction options. Concentration of resources in large ur­ban institutions would allow more students to be educated for less money. Non­urban access, however, would be substantially reduced and would need to be provided on a more limited basis through Outreacb ... Efficiency would be enhanced."

The fourth option, which has been more-or-less making the legislative rounds in the embodiment of 1360, is a reorganization of the entire system, also with enrollment reductions. The CCHE found this option viable only if the legislature planned major reductions in funding. At current funding levels, reorganization would cause too much disruption to be justified. Once again, the option would affect access, diversity, and quality of the educa­tion.

The fifth option is to eliminate our most expensive programs. Examples given are "dentistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, engineer­ing, and law." The idea is to import all of our professionals froin out of state.

The sixth option is to place restrictions on how long a student can remain enrolled in a Colorado institution. This option would appear to have a pro­foundly negative effect on the quality of education for students, who would be restricted from changing majors or ta.king "life-enhancing" elective classes.

The seventh option is to set up cooperative programs with private institu­tions for sharing resources and eliminating geographic duplication of pro­grams. It would require establishment of a need-based financial aid program to improve access to private institutions.

The eighth option is to reduce enrollments while ensuring access in rural areas first . The logic behind such an option is that rural schools are the only source of education in their mutually exclusive areas.

The ninth option is to raise tuition for in-state students. The situation would be .somewhat mitigated by increased levels of need-based financial aid, but declining enrollments could create a never-ending cycle of tuition hikes and enrollment drops, crippling the entire system.

Option ten is perhaps the most bizarre of all --Colorado would divest itself of higher education altogether, and schools would be re-established as private institutions. Money used to support the schools would be diverted in­to various forms of financial aid.

The eleventh option would place enrollment caps on institutions based on a pyramid structure that keeps enrollments smallest at the graduate level, and largest at the community college level. This model would require smaller enrollment reductions than other options because the most expensive programs would be reduced the most.

The future of Colorado higher education has been studied to death by various departments for years on end. Much of this material should be drug out now and looked at by those who have not been following this fight for years on end. Perhaps more importantly, those involved in this issue should talk to some of the national experts on the leading edge of education. Stop­gap solutions to problems that developed over decades are not sufficient.

In fact, the Auraria campus is blessed with degreed experts of many kinds, and I think we should call upon them to outline their theories on the future face of higher education. by Carson Reed

Performance Counts at Metro Editor:

It would be in the Colorado legislature's interest to look with a proper historical perspective at the issue of Metro, UCD, and Auraria: .

In the early days, Metro was sprawled across city blocks south of downtown. Metro was diffuse. Metro was ugly. Metro was laughed at.

UCD, on the other hand, was established. UCD had the affiliation of the Regents. UCD was centralized. UCD laughed at Metro.

Today, Metro is centralized; at the same time Metro North, Metro South, and telecourses exist. Metro continues to tend to the needs of urban, com­muter students with other things occupying portions of their lives. Metro serves. Metro has grown into the strongest, healthiest, and most efficient in­stitution of higher education in Colorado; this fact is accentuated by the comparative dimunition of enrollment, academic reputation, and fiscal stability of many other institutions in the state.

The derision and condescension which comes from the Regency seems more motivated by envy and possessiveness than by a true concern for im­proving higher education: In the Olden Days there was a complacent sense of security for the Regents to sit on; now that Metro has risen to the ranks of colleague higher educational institutions, though, a definite threat exists to

UCD. No longer can reputation alone suffice; now the issue of performance is what's salient.

Jerry Wartgow, Executive Director of AHEC, has demonstrated a zealously altruistic bent in advocating the elimination of his job (via mergerious impactus) since April of 1979, when the issue was first taken under the wing of Hugh Fowler. His job would be eliminated --and re­created-- under the archaic and patrician system of education perpetuated by the Regents.

Regent Peter Dietze advocated the merger issue on the grounds that the entire Auraria campus would be more easy to manage than UCD is current­ly. If the management of the Auraria Library for the last few years is in­dicative of the managerial effectiveness of UCD, no bloody thanks.

If the legislature and the Regents are so concerned about the quality of higher education in Colorado, let the Regents assume directorship of those institutions which are fiscally ailing, which are suffering academic anomie, which do see a falling enrollment rate, and that are cost-inefficient. But leave the healthy, vibrant, Once-and-Never-Again-Bastard-Son-of-Urban­Education alone.

Most sincerely yours, Loring Crepeau

Irate Student Questions Cleanliness Editor:

What is this place that you call the Auraria Higher Education Cenler; is it a trash dump for broken dishes, deteriorating food, mounds of toilet paper and leaking pipes? As far as I'm concerned it is.

The stairway, which runs along the side of the elevator, in the club wing of the student center, houses a plate that has shattered into tiny little pieC:es: But what do those in charge care? Nothing, nothing at all.

Thursday morning I went down to the Student Activities office and told one of the employees about the mess and asked her to call a janitor. I did this before 9 a.m. and here it is Friday, a whole day later, and the plate remains in the same spot. The deteriorating eggs and jelly that once sat upon it are now making themselves at home with the dust and dirt that also inhabit these neglected back stairs.

So, as I said before, Friday rolled around, and with it remained the fragments of glass and what was once called food. (Let's not talk about the quality of grub on this campus, because if you've noticed, it was bad last semester and has progressed to the category of worst this semester.)

So, today, I call the people in room 210, the little booth on the second floor of the Student Center. When I informed the person who answered the

phone of the problem, she told me that she already knew. And, I don't know why, but a flicker of hope made its way to my heart, assuring me that the at­trocity would be removed within a couple of hours: But was it? No, of course not, it would be too close to right, especially in this institution of higher education where no one strives for right: Do they? They strive to sit on their derriers, with their fingers covering their eyes and their thumbs stuck in their ears.

Well, I'm sick and tired of this place looking like a pig's penll I Why don't the janitors clean up? Are they hired to promote AHEC by

wearing little blue suits and carrying garbage bags around all day? If they have been hired to do this, they're doing an excellent job of it.

Oh, dear goodness, have you seen the bathrooms? If it wasn't bad enough that you have to wait five minutes to get to a stall, just think what having to wade through ten pounds of balled up, dirty, decaying toilet tissue that has lodged itself to the floor adds to the situation.

This school's cleaning staff is great (ha, ha). It sho11ld be patted on the ' back and hit on the head for making Auraria the epitomy of cleanliness.

WOWs (self-pats on the back) than OWs (stuff you know you didn't do well) . You and your teeney tiny banana start off pretty healthy with six personality tokens (2 IDS, 2 EGOS, and 2 WOWS). Then you embark on a journey that reflects the ups and downs of life.

You have to make choices about taking PSYDE (sic) TRIPS. Will you

Lyke said that, though your fellow game players can't psychoanalyze you while playing, there are behavior clues that can be noted: even to the color you pick for your game piece. Red-dynamic; blue-cool; green-creative; yellow-adventurous.

n. real conservative person won't take many chances," Lyke said. "Girls and women don't seem to play as agressively as the males," he noted. "The game brings out the humaness of all the players so it becomes a real enjoyable family game. Kids like interacting with their parents while playing."

"Gone bananas is psych.ologically sound throughout, even in the previous versions which were not mechanically sound," Lyke explain­ed.

"The JD is the battery of the whole system," Lyke said. "It's the source of your psychic energy. The ID is the sexy, aggressive and fun part of you." It enables you to enjoy festivities, delicious food and have a very fine time. It also can get you in­to difficulties with your fellow human beings when you get in an aggressive mode.

"The EGQ is the part of us that makes choices," said Lyke. "Our thought procesres are at this level of the mind." Thisis the one used dur­ing the choices on the game board.

"The SUPEREGO is our cons­cience and source of self-worth. It is the. praise agent for specific ac­complishments so you will feel good about yourself.'' That's why the WOWs and OWs of this game are included under SUPEREGO. It's what could happen with realistic situations in life.

Dr. H. John Lyke displays his 'psychologically sound '. board.

"If you don't have a functioning SUPEREGO you could be a sociopath," commented Dr. Lyke.

game 'Gone Bananas' ·

Just like life, you take chances based on your decisions. You may end up falling in love, make a killing in the stock market, win an academic scholar­ship or go to the fountain of youth. You could also spill punch at a party, have the market crash, fail an 1.Q. test or get stuck in the (temporarily) nut hut.

"One way in life to feel good about yourself is to get rid of all your OWs," said Lyke. "I had trouble with the game board mechanics for that

concept. One of my children suggested that since you stick unwanted bubble gum under a seat, why not use a park bench as a place to dump all your OWs? And so I did.''

Just as in real life, some people always have it together and others seem to

"It's been terribly consumftig, to the point where you can loose perspec­tive. I'm a great believer in working on your fantasies -if it looks like there is a purpose to it.

The Grinch's Guide

to Gastronomical Gratification

During my week-long absence, I have reached new highs --and lows-- as far as the buffet scene goes. I have also made an alarming discovery: Freebie buffets downtown are as scarce as RTD busses on Sundays, when compared to other parts of the city.

This fact hit me in the face like a hockey puck flying into a goalie's mask. With all of the businesses located downtown, and the more than 30,000 students on the nearby Auraria Campus, you would think that more culinary-potable establishments would leap on the buffet bandwagon. These buffets are a proven success in ot:Tter business-residential sections of town, such as Glendale, or the southeast/Denver Tech Center corridor.

Nevertheless, I have come to the irrevocable conclusion that URBS who literally thrive on downtown Denver would rather stay here to eat, drink, and socialize, rather than deal with suburban traffic jams full of violent, ir­rational sub-urbs.

Fear not, 0 denizens of the depths of downtown, for I have found a couple

of buffets here that might catch your interest --one is hard to "top," the other easy to forget.

The Top Of The Rockies, located 30 stories up in the Security Life building at 16th and Glenarm, is the only buffet/happy hour in town that re­quires a thrilling ride in a glass-enclosed outside elevator (acrophobics, be warned.)

Once at the "top," the happy-hour patron is welcomed by a top-notch buf­fet --and a fantastic view of Denver and the mountains. This place reeks of class; the Top Of The Rockies buffet is a direct reflection of this establish­ment's sophistication. The night I was here, the buffet consisted of savory cheddar and jack cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies, and a main course con­sisting of Polish sausages and sauerkraut. My only beef is: Where's the mustard?

Cooked in tangy, simmering sauerkraut, the moist Polish sausages were very tasty, indeed. However, a Polish sausage without mustard is like a taco without a shell; the taste is incomplete. Drinks are kind of expensive, but the f~d ~nd the view are worth it. Imagine the feeling of sitting 30 stories up, mbbhng on your fav'!rite cheese, ll!Jd watchjng_Uviligh.t over Denver give way to the sublime glow of streetlights.

My only beef is: Where's the mustard?

Strolling out of the Security Life building, I stumbled into one of RTD's efficient mall transits, which proceeded to whisk me towards Union Station, located at 17th and Wynkoop. This is the home of the Club Car Lounge, which has its own buffet set-up. Bush-league buffet might be a more ac­curate description, though. Either they don't know how to put out a decent product, or they just don't give a damn.

The buffet, which was supposed to open at 5 p. m. , wasn't even close to be­ing set up when I arrived at 5:30 p.m. When it did open, I was truly dissap­pointed. Ever try to peel an over-cooked shrimp? They literally disintegrate right in your hands. Ever try to drain grease out of hamburger, without a spoon with holes? They actually make their shrimp cocktail sauce (read: horseradish) so hot it's guaranteed to gag you. They could have a decent buf­fet, but no one seems to care. This is too bad, because Union Station is an in­teresting place to experience.

Obviously, my pick of the week goes to The Top Of The Rockies. Class food, ambiance, and view all add up to a very special happy-hour ex­perience. Hopefully, the culinary skills at the Club Car Lounge will im­prove. I shall return later on this semester to see if they do. However, one question still plagues my mind: Where's the mustard?

Next time, I'll bring my own.. . . D

Ugliness Evident in Art by T.J. Williams Reporter, The Metropolitan

Remember the "non-two dimen­sional" artwork that was in front of the Student Center last semester --the one that resembled a tight rope walk for unemployed and suicidal parakeets? Well, the creator of that display, Charles Parson, is at it again. Fortunately, his latest work to grace our campus is under the lock and key of the Emmanuel Gallery; and let's hope that it remains under something --somewhere. This piece is so bizzare that not even the master himself could justly name it, so, it remains Untitkd. You have to see it to believe it.

But as bad as this collage of wire, metal and plastic is, it is still one of the better pieces that I found, cur­rently on display, in the David Adams' Collection of art that has in­vaded Auraria.

How about Zig 'Zag Tablit.a by San­dy Kinnee. It is described in the gallery as being a "hand modified lithograph made of 100 percent i:ag '. Untitled' bond paper." Well, that's great, but 1 by Jerry Kunkle can describe it in three words: Tower of Babel.

This collection of badly-painted homemade bricks definitely looks as if it was beaten with an ugly stick for provoking the wrath of God.

And just · down the wall from Kunkel's piece is Daydream of Otto by Garrison Roots. This thing is ugly. Ug-i-lee. It is supposed to symbolize a

Raw Rock'n'Roll A Plus In Fine Debut Album

by D.J. Owens Reporter, The Metropolitan

Many bands have put out one great album, only never to be heard from again. The list is endless: Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Moxy, Artful Dodger, The Ras berries, and Shoes; just to name a few. Paul Simon calls them "one-trick ponie{ " They've been called worse.

Bon Jovi might be the latest addi­tion to that list; only time will tell. This hot new band is named after

· lead singer Jon Bon Jovi. Their debut album is likewise called Bon ]<?Vi --definite signs of an ego problem.

Imagewise (via album cover art) J.B.J. solicits comedy; he's just too cute to be a tough guy. Rouge and a leather jacket do seem to clash here. But, music is why people get albums, and this one is a good buy.

Bon Jovi is getting some airplay. The big smash hit somehow able to finagle its way out onto the KBPI/KAZY playlists is R!J-naway, featuring Roy Bittan of Bruce Spr­ingsteen's E Street Band. Bittan is fierce, as he pounds out some of the clearest keyboard work on the album.

The rest of Bon ]ovi is not exactly packaged around Runaway, but it could be accused of that. They're all up-beat, hard rockers. Plenty of per­suasive guitar playing creeps into each song in the same "knock your block off' manner. More variety is

Jon Bon Jovi

the only thing this piece of vinyl lacks.

Next to Runaway, the second-best song on the album is Love Lies. The only tune resembling a ballad, it demonstrates Bon Jovi's tendencies to have to pick up the pace. It's almost as if they wanted to make sure this album did not end up too boring.

The sound on Bon Jovi is excep­tional. This is L.A. --slick produc­tion, par excellance. The singing and the guitar are the prominent forces and they work off each other in sub­tle, intricate ways. Many notes are easily missed during quieter listen­ings. The music becomes fuller when very loud; as one can best appreciate their raw, offensive power.

So the music is good, ~nd their talent may or may not sustain them. Years from now, Bon Jovi could be a household word; more likely though, it'll be: Bon Who? D

There is another of the ingenuously titled Untitkd pieces. The gallery has this work of Jerry Kunkel under the category of mixed media. If it were up to me, I'd stick \t in the morgue and call it The Remains of a Dead Sparrow That Had Devoted Its Life· to Punk Rock Music.

ElNEJARIB 'C ., OSI .Operatic

by Susan Skorupa Reporter, The Metropolitan

Denver fancies itself as a cosmopolitan city these days, so it's become more and more difficult to get away with being an opera il­literate. There are those, however, who are still practicing non-opera goers:

Face it. Opera is usually sung in a foreign language, often at an in­credibly high pitch. To tht: uninitiated or the easily intimidated, it can be boring.

Enter the MSC Opera Theatre. Last year, the company presented

two short operas. This season, under the direction of conductor William Morse and stage director George Nicovich, the players are presenting Mozart's comic opera, Cosi Fan Tutte -a considerably more ambitious pro­ducion.

Non-fans will appreciate that Cosi is sung in English. Those more com­fortable with opera will relish the talent and enthusiasm of the players.

The plot puts the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" to the test. Two suitors, Guglielmo and Ferrando, bet their old philosopher friend, Don Alfonso, that their fiancees will re­main faithful to them under any cir-

cumstances. The two pretend to go off to war, then return in disguise to court each other's ladies, Fiordiligi and Dorabella.

The women fall for the plot and are torn between remaining true to their lovers or giving in to the advances of the mysterious foreigners.

Professionalism

Photos by Jack Affleck

During the four night run of the opera, two casts will perform the six major roles. A Sunday night preview featured sopranos Diana Groe and Patty Masciotra as the sisters, Fior­diligi and Dorabella; baritone David Sckolnik as Guglielmo, and tenor James Guthrie as Ferrando. Dana

Doherty appeared as Despina, the ladies' chambermaid, and Brian Hutt is cast as Don Alfonso.

The second cast includes Gena Jef­fries, Janet Kirk Wolfer, Mark Hodges, John Florentin, Heidi Spoor, and Derrick White.

Despite a slightly bver-loud or­chestra, the cast, especially Groe and Guthrie, turned out performances as professional as any Denver produc­tion has heard. Sckolnik's obvious delight in his -character and his work was gentle and good humored. When the orchestra eased up in the second act, it became a real class production.

There are a few problems with the opera. It's long and in places it drags. The shoe-box orchestra pit at Shwayder Theatre makes production tough. There are times when it's im­possible to hear the .singers. But the cast and musicians do work hard at overcoming most of this.

Go see Cosi Fan Tutte and take a state legislator along. Maybe then they will be impressed with MSC.

Cosi Fan Tutte is playing at the Shwayder Theatre in the Jewish Community Center at Leetsdale and South Dahlia, Feb. 21, 22, 23, 25. General admission is $7 .50, student and senior citizen admission, $5.50. For more information, call the MSC box office at 629-2714. 0

Psyche, Not Size, Key to Sport by Curt Sandoval Sports Reporter, The Metropolitan

-Prospective coaches in Dr. Marc

Rabinofrs Psychology of Sport class are learning to apply psychological techniques through the- "cognitive aspect" of coaching general to. all sports.

According to Rabinoff, who has taught the course for seven years, too many coaches are concerned ·only with the size and ability of an athlete, when they should be more aware of their psychological development.

Baseball Clinic A Big Hit

by Curt Sandoval Sports Reporter, The Metropolitan

Hoping ~o raise money to finance new dugouts and a spring break training trip to Florida, the MSC baseball team two weeks ago hosted a weekend baseball clinic for area youngsters.

Conducted by head coach Bill Helmarl', his staff and the team, the sold-out clinic treated more than 200 kids to training in hitting, throwing, and base Junning.

Clinic youngsters got the word on baseball from some bonafide honchos.

An opportunity to hea..r from major league talent was also part of the pro­gram; New York Mets catcher John Stearns, former Houston Astros cat­cher Skip Jutze and Oakland A's scout Charlie Metro. were all on hand to of­fer tips to the young players.

This was the fourth year MSC has held its popular baseball clinic. D

"A coach should find the position that best fits their athletes by doing personality inventories," he explain­ed, rather than only on the basis of physical attributes.

~

The Cattell 16 personality factor questionnaire is the most frequently used personality inventory. It is designed so the person taking the test answers "yes" or "no" to simple statemeI].ts. For example:· are you

humble; assertive; tough minded; tender minded; etc.

The raw score from the 1B7 test questions are converted to standard scores. A 1-3 score is low, 4-7 average and_ 8-10 is high. High scores are desirable on some traits, whereas low seores are desired on others.

While sports psychologists have long been an important and respected part of coaching staffs in Europe, they are relatively new in the Uruted

States. More and more U.S. profes­sional and collegiate teams are using sports psychologists now, though, and that's where Rabinofrs course comes in.

Designed to take the subject of psychology and apply it in a sport set­ting, students study everything from motivation to aggression to the role sport plays in American society, then learn how to use this knowledge to become better coaches. D

When you're in a tight spot, good friends will .help ~u out.

j ;t ., , ...

When you pulled in two hours ago, you didn't have this problem. And with a party just starting, the last thing you wanted to do,was wait around another two hours.

Neither did the rest of the guys. So when they offered to give you a lift, 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. l onight, let it be Lowenbrau.

PutyourseH in his place.

Alone in the middle of the night. Facing an emer­gency. And the only a\·ailable telephone is out of order.

You wouldn't want to trade places with him. But someday you may be forced to. Because no­body bothered to tell us a phone was broken.

This shouldn't happen to anyone. So please. write down the number of a damaged or out of order pay phone. And report it at the first oppor- . tunity to our repair ser\'ice. The number is listed in the Customer Guide at the front of the 'White Pages.

We'll come out and fix the phone right away .. Before someone has a desperate need for it .

Someone like you .
