by Lisa Jean Silva Reporter, The Metropolitan

MSC President Richard Fontera continues to recover from major ab­dominal survery, which he under­went March 1, his office said Mon­day.

Dr. Wilton Flemon, assistant to the president, said last Friday that the campus is being run as normal, with the three vice presidents of the in­stitution overseeing their respective areas.

Flemon said tha:t he and Consor­tium President Richard Laughlin "coordinate the three vice-presidents' functions. We are operating as if President Fontera were on vacation."

The vice-presidents are: Dr. Antonio Esquibel, of the Office of

MSC President Fontera

Student Affai~St~n Sunderwirth, of the Office of Academic Affairs; and Curt Wright, of the Office of Business and Finance. .

Rumors indicating that Fontera is seriously ill continue, although a memo sent out by his office indicates the rumors are unsubstantiated.

The memo from the president's of­fice was sent to the various MSC departments Friday. It reads:

"President Fontera continues to recover from major surgery. However, he has experienced some difficulties, and additional tests are necessary for a thorough diagnosis. To ensure "complete rest, the family has requested that personal visits and telephone calls be referred to the presid~?t's office for the next few weeks.

AHEC-RTD Study Parking:

AGT's Cost Exaillined by Michael Ocrant Reporter, The Metropolitan

The costs of constructing and operating an automated transporta­tion system from Mile High Stadium to the Auraria campus, as well as the source of financial support, remain highly uncertain.

Finance was one of three subjects discussed in workshops on automated guideway transit systems held Satur­day at the Saint Francis Interfaith Center. The workshops were spon­sored by AHEC and RTD.

Initial construction of an AGT have been estimated to range from $7 million to $40 million a mile, ac­cording to JoAnn Soker, AHEC special projects director.

Operating costs could be from $500,000 to $2 million per year, Soker said.

Therefore, downtown businesses might help pay for it, Soker said. But AHEC has not asked business owners if they would be willing to invest in the system.

"Ridership probably wouldn't reach a maximum until the end of the first or second year," Soker said, "So the system would need to be sub­sidized either through higher on­campus parking rates, or by opening some lots to downtown commuters during off-peak periods."

" ... the system would need to be subsidized ... "

-JoAnn Soker AHEC Special Projects Director

The Tivoli shopping-.:omplex, -which would probably benefit from an AGT, has remained uncommitted to giving financial assistance, Soker said.

Those figures agree with those sub­mitted by 17 companies that respond­ed to a request for unbinding pro­posals, which were briefly outlined before the start of the workshops.

The AHEC Board of Directors is expected to vote March 12 on whether to continue with plans for building an AGT or to build parking garages to solve the problem of limited campus parking.

But a vote favoring an AGT would only guarantee that the preparational work of getting precise cost figures and financial backing would go for­ward, Soker said.

RTD has been the most likely backer and has shown a great amount of interest in constructing an AGT,

Journalistic Ethics Topic of Discussion by Susan Skorupa Reporter, The Metropolitan

The American news media today is in a crisis situation. Broadcast showbiz tactics and say-nothing newscasts provoke daily criticism from TV viewers and radio listeners, and newspaper readership continues to decline.

A poll by the National Opinion Research Center found only 13.7 per­cent of the U.S. population expresses "a great deal of confidence" in the press, a decline of nearly 16 percen­tage points since 1976.

At the heart of the matter lies the question of ethics.

On Thursday, as part of the Auraria . Interfaith Ministry's bi­monthly _"E.T." (Eat and Talk) discussion series, Gregory Pearson, director of MSC's journalism pro­gram, presented a newspaperman's view of the importance of journalism ethics.

Pearson said the · media must educate reporters and plan a code of ethics long before a situation such as the recent William Coors-Rocky Mountain News controversy arises.

"Ninety-nine percent of the people

on American newspapers don't know the canons of ethics," he said. "I think it's tragic. We always preach First Amendment --that's our life blood. I don't think reporters should be licensed any more than I should be licensed for opening my mouth, but there should be codes of ethics, seminars on ethics:"

Pearson advocated the use of om­budsmen, investigators of public complaints, as one way to raise the credibility of a newspaper. In Sweden he said, this position is im­portant enough to be a go..,ernment post, and in the U.S. ombudsmen should be independent of, and unanswerable to anyone on their papers.

"Any newspaper worth its salt would have an ombudsman to say 'We really want to do the job right,"' he said.

Accusations against the media can result from sloppiness as well as ques­tionable ethics, Pearson said. In the rush to put out a newspaper, e.5pecially a daily, some things that may look unethical are only acciden­tal .

MSC Journalism professor Gregory Pearson speaks out on media ethics.

"There are pressures on reporters to compete, to turn out," he said. "So much that we say is unethical is just sloppiness. On the whole, it's miraculous they (newspapers) keep such high ethical standards. Most ex­cesses are accidental, due to speed."

Pearson said journalism today is

like any other business. To make it, a journalist must play the corporate game, but, at the same time, main­tain a code of ethics, personally as well as professionally.

"Ethics goes beyond journalism," he said. "It goes to your lifetyle. I think personal ethics is more impor­tant than professional ethics." O

Irish Debate Set For March 28 4--------...... --------.

In the interest of luring people away from the more fy-othy, mindless pursuits available; Metropolitan State College is once again sponsoring the Irish Debate Series.

This year's debate, the only truly international event on campus, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 28 at 1:15 p.m., in Sb Cajetan's. It marks the fifth year that the Irish have come to Auraria and this year's topic is guaranteed to stir up con­siderable interest.

Battling over the subject of whether government censorship is justified in the case of national

weather words

security, MSC's top debaters will go head to head with Ireland's finest. The topic is timely; and the Irish br­ing a fresh, international outlook to the dialogue.

After the debate, a reception will be held during which both debate teams will entertain questions from the audience. All are welcome, and the event is highly recommended for . history buffs, journalism students, or anyone interested in preserving our precious freedom of the press.

Any questions about the 1984 Irish Debate Series can be directed to Gary H. Holbrook at 629-3033. D

Many of us will probably be telling our grandchildren how we survived the Christmas Blizzard of 1982, when nearly 2 feet of snow f~l on Denver in a 24 hour period, how the city was paralyzed by this huge volume of snow in ~uch a short amount of time. But, can you imagine getting 76 inches of snow m 24 hours. It happened at Silver Lake, Colorado, some 20 miles west of Boulder. In April, 1921, it began to snow on the 14th and 24 hours later 6 feet 4 inches of fresh snow had reached the ground, setting a world rec~rd for greatest 24-hour snowfall, a record that has never been threatened. presented by the MSC Student Chapter of the American· Meterological Society.

84 College Budgets: Boom or Bust! IOWA CITY, IA (CPS)--University of Iowa biology students peer through microscopes so old there aren't spare parts available to repair them when they break.

Students in history classes are taught on maps made in the early 1920s, and chemistry students can't perform even basic experiments because of the lack of equipment.

More than 1000 Iowa students, tired of such ill effects of state funding shortages, recently staged the largest demonstration since the Viet­nam War-era to protest a new 2.8 percent state funding cut for the coming year.

At the same time, California students --after five years of relentless tuition increases and funding cutbacks-- actually are looking for­ward to a $70 tuition decrease, thanks to· a huge new state revenue surplus.

For California's colleges, the funding increase also will bring long­awaited faculty salai:y increases, .im­proved student services, and more in­structional equipment.

The boom and bust in California and Iowa, it seems, are the newly­typical prospects for state funding of colleges and universities during the coming year.

State funding of higher education is perhaps even more important to cam­pus budgets than federal funding. But state governors, who in recent weeks have unveiled their college

budget requests for the coming year, have been offering extremes: either very good or very bad times ahead.

The long-awaited economic recovery has brightened college pro­spects in many states, but prospects in other still-struggling states have never been dimmer.

That even some states are doing better, however, causes some experts to breathe a little more easily.

harbinger of a better future for all. "In general the states are getting

more in the way of revenues and they're looking at more modest funding and better times for higher education," notes Gordon Van deWater, senior partner of Augenblick-Van deWater, a con­sulting agency which monitors higher educational funding.

Ohio State University. --where ad-

'At least we're not seeing the cut backs we were several years ago. ' ·

"Things look a little more op­timistic now," says M.M. Chambers, of the Illinois State University· Department of Educational Ad­ministration. Chambers tracks col­lege funding in all 50 states.

"At least we're not seeing the cut­backs we were several years ago," he J.;3f*>ffs.

Indeed, over the last three years almost every state slashed higher education funding or at the very least froze school budgets to help stretch dwindling state revenues through the recession.

But now, even as some schools con­tinue to struggle with cutbacks, at least some are beginning to emerge from the recession, officials say.

And, they add, even if the recovery is somewhat spotty, it is probably a

ministrators last year had to halt the razing of a campus building because they didn't have the money to pay demolition crews-- just received a $25 million funding increase.

In Tennessee, Gov. Lamar Alex­ander has asked for an additional $1 billion in state education funding over the next three years, much of it to go for pay raises and improved university facilities.

Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Massachusetts, to name a few, also plan sizable increases in higher education funding for the coming year.

California's budget proposal for next year "is the finest budget we've had in two decades," brags William Baker, vice president of budget and university relations with the Universi-

ty of California system. The new budget proposal means a

20 percent funding increase for the nine-campus system.

"Our (tuition) fees have doubled in the last five years," Baker explains. "This year our budget calls to reduce fees by $70 per student, increase faculty salaries by 13 percent, and our budget for institutional equip­ment will double. It's wonderful."

But things aren't so wonderful in other states.

Idaho State faces a $1 million cut for next year.

Auburn is asking state legislators for an extra $7 million in funding to avoid "serious" financial trouble, ad­ministrators say.

Southwest Missouri State just in­stituted a $3 per credit surcharge after Gov. Kit Bond announced an emergency two percent holdback of state funds.

Still, most higher education of­ficials are optimistic that the period of drastic, ongoing state funding cuts is drawing to a close for everyone.

"Quite a number of states are beginning to project that they'll have budget surpluses next year," says Il­linois State's Chambers.

"But we're in an uncertain state right now," he cautions. "It's hard to do anything but speculate. Who knows whether the market is going to go up or down, or if we'll suddenly see another taxation revolt" that could turn the whole thing around. 0

possibly as a demonstration model for a future metro-wide system.

Yet it is uncertain if RTD could spend the money to initiate the pro­ject without a political fight.

The Denver Chamber of Com­merce, Governor Richard Lamm and a Denver Post editorial have all recently criticized RTD for wanting to spend funds at Auraria while being slow in finding a comprehensive solu-

AHEC Executive Director Jerome Wartgow said getting private invest­ment is one of several possibilities to find funding:

AHEC is expected to spend $7 million either in constructing a parking garage or building an ACT, he said.

If an ACT could be built for $7 million, Wartgow said, then Auraria could build the system alone.

Another possibility, he added, is

tion to regional transportation problems.

Several people in the finance workshop echoed such criticism, complaining that RTD has spent too much on studies because RTD board members don't have the qualifica­tions or experience to make a proper decision.

One suggestion for funding was to get private industries or individuals to invest in the project and take a legal tax deduction.

that a vendor might build and pay for the system as a demonstration.

However, Wartgow said, it makes sense for RTD to spend the money on constructing an ACT at Auraria.

"AHEC is the only place in the city where people would ride a one-mile system," Wartgow said. In addition, he said, there is no justification to criticize RTD for wanting to spend funds on an ACT for AHEC.

W artgow also said he will tell the board at its Monday meeting that building a garage would be the easiest way to solve the parking problem.

But, he said, an ACT is the best long-term solution bi::cause pollution levels are raised as cars try to get in

Coors Entitled to Speak His Mind When William Coors, chairman of the board of the Coors brewery in

Golden, addressed a gathering of minority business owners a few weeks ago, he said some things about blacks and their intellectual capacity that can-at best-be called unfortunate. At worst, the remarks can be said to represent the true feelings of a latent racist .

Since the outspoken Coors made the statements, both labor organizations, which have long had a sour taste for Coors and his company, and local minority groups have been calling for the decade-old boycott of Coors pro­ducts to be stepped up once again.

And though the Student Facilities Policy Council lifted the ban on Coors beer last spring, it is still not available at The Mission.

But Coors' remarks raise an important question: Do the freedoms guaranteed to all Americans really only apply to a select group of people?

This country was founded on the principle of freedom. Freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the freedom to pursue economic interests are just a few of the "freedoms" we are all supposed to be able to enjoy.

However, sometimes it seems as though these freedoms do not apply to everyone.

In a recent public relations packet sent out by the local chapter of the AFL-CIO, which urges a boycott of Coors products, a reference is made to a 1982 lawsuit filed by the Adolph Coors Company against the AFL-CIO. According to the Memo, the suit alleged that the labor group was forcing Coors out of business in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The memo goes on to say the U.S. District Judge Spencer Williams dismissed the suit because it " ... was flimsy, a misuse of the Anti-Trust Laws and an infringe­ment of Free Speech Right's of boycotters."

So here we have David Sickler, national AFL-CIO Coors boycott coor­dinator, lambasting the Coors Company for alleged violations of the rights of those boycotting the brewer's products are not to be enjoyed by all, in­cluding William K. Coors?

This is not to say that we are pro-Coors, not by a long shot. His remarks were stupid, unfortunate, unwarranted and irresponsible-whether they

were taken out of context or not. But William Coors, like the rest of us, has the right to say whatever he wants to, no matter how wrong it may be.

After all, if Jesse Jackson, a man of the cloth no less, can get away without being "boycotted" for his remarks, why can't Bill Coors?

This does not mean that · we are obligated to agree with anything Bill Coors, Jesse Jackson, or any one else, says.

There is a lot of talk these days about fairness, and it seems hardly fair that two people are treated so differently when both said things which were equally ridiculous.

By the same token, each human in this country is free to choose the pro­ducts necessary to sustain life from day to day.

Vegetarians are not verbally attacked for their "boycott" of meat pro­ducts-and rightly so. Vegetarians have the right to eat whatever they want to. That is the way it should be.

And along those same lines, beer drinkers ought to be able to drink Coors beer as they so desire, and Miller, Budweiser or any of the host of other brews available if Coors does not suit their fancy.

The only way to really hurt a large corporation like Coors is where it lives and breathes-in the marketplace. And for those who support the boycott of Coors, the buying of other brands of beer is doing just that. The supporters of the boycott movement have some very legitimate complaints about the organization, and it is their right, maybe even their duty, to buy other pro­ducts.

But those who support Coors, whether it be because of the comany's prac­tices or just because they like the taste of Coors beer, ought to be afforded the same right. Namely, to purchase Coors wherever and whenever they want to-without the AFL-CIO or anyone else telling them that they can't do it.

Coors boycotters are, at this time, able to spend their money elsewhere and are being very successful at making sure that other people do also. It is sad that this luxury is not enjoyed by all at this time, because for our society to call itself truly advanced is almost as hypocritical as some of the factions involved in this fight.

LEITl,EJRS Coffee Harvest Volunteers Sought

Editor: The situation in Nicaragua is extremely critical at this time. The

Nicaraguan economy which depends heavily on only a few agricultural ex­ports has been under increasing attack from CIA-backed counterrevolu­tionaries. Several hundred million dollars worth of damage has already resulted from attacks such as the one against the vital oil storage facilities at the port of Corinto last October.

Nicaragua needs a successful coffee harvest to be able to purchase basic food stuffs, medicines, spare parts for the industry and transportation, and oil. Because of the urgent political and military situation, many Nicaraguans have been mobilized in the defense of their country and cannot participate in the December-February coffee harvest this year.

That is why I have chosen to respond to Nicaragua's call for international work briszades to ensure a su~ful coffee harvest this year:

In the United States, the National Network in Solidarity with the Nicaraguan People (NNSNP) is working to coordinate volunteer participa­tion. U.S. citizens have a particular role in this harvest, because if it were not for our government's open attempts to overthrow the government of Nicaragua, the Nicaraguans would be free to develop their own political life and their own economy in peace.

By participating in the volunteer coffee harvest, I hope toshowthatllS an American citizen, I stand with the people of Nicaragua in their moment of need and that I oppose the policies of the Reagan administration. I urge others to support and write to NNSNP for further information on how to help the people of Nicaragua and to make donations. Their address is: NNSNP, 2025 "I" Street NW, Suite 402, Washington, D.C., 20006. The time has come to give Central America back to its people!

Conflicting Signals Create Much Confusion Editor:

Every day at Auraria a problem arises. Vehicles turning left from a one­way street are given the right-of-way by a green light and pedestrians are given the right-of-way by a walk signal. Unfortunately, one; or the other, must stop to avoid an accident. The walk signals and lights need to be syn­chronized so that either a walk signal or a green light is on, not both.

I have seen evidence of this danger every day while waiting to turn left from Larimer onto 12th Street, in order to park in parking lots P and Q. Also, just a few blocks north on Larimer, at Speer Boulevard, walking to the

Noise Pollution Rattles Auraria

Editor: All that noise! The jackhammering, the tractors, and not to mention the

detours, is really a distracting annoyance to the whole Auraria community. When students of this community are having to pay for tuition, fees, books

and other mandatory charges, they expect to be able to come and learn and study in a place with an environment conductive to learning.

It is very frustrating to sit in a classroom and try to hear the instructor or vice versa. And if that isn't enough, the blowing system is another problem we students have to put up with. On days when it is cold outside, the room is just as cold, if not colder and the same goes for a hot day outside, then it is hot or hotter inside!

I, as would many others, really appreciate it it AHEC could see the noise pollution at Auraria needs attention.

Student Rights? The term itself is a joke. You have no rights. Don't let anyone try to fool

you into believing that you do. You are only entitled to Due Process. Due Process is just a farce if people are not forced to provide it. As is stated

on page 92 of the MSC Student Handbook 1983-84, "The specific nature of the hearing provided must of necessity vary depending on the circumstances of the particular case."

SO WHAT, YOU SAY??? What I am getting at is that one of us, a Student, is caught in this state­

. nent: "hearing provided must of necessity vary" and is not being afforded any d~e process. "The story ..I iffi about to tell, is in no way meant to be a clear record but, is my understanding of the information on hand at the time I prepared this report.,, '

Susan Decarlo was told by her instructor, Mr. Nadon, not to attend his class anymore. The instructor had asked the class to provide input into the way he was teaching the creative writing course. She provided him with this input and was told to drop the course. She then contacted the chair of the

East Classroom is a hazard, especially during rush hour. Cars slamming on their brakes and pedestrians racing across the street or stopping in the mid­dle of the street to avoid an accident are a regular sight.

Continuing north to 14th, the traffic signal system works efficiently. Walk lights flash on, then one set of green lights, and finally the other set of green lights. The only way to create an accident, is to cross against the signals. The streets in, and surrounding, _the Auraria campus need a system such as the latter one to keep the danger of conflicting right-of-ways from fatal.

Diillensionality is Missing Editor:

In reflecting upon what sort of content might add dimensionality to the newspaper, I immediately realize that what I really miss in your news is in­formation from the students themselves. I look longingly at each issue for a page or two of interesting papers that are being submitted to fulfill assignments, for a short story or a poem that a student has felt enough pride in to wish to share it with the campus at large.

I rather think the student body wants to be considered and included as part of the fabric of the News of the school they attend. No less is this true for the faculty. It strikes me how interesting it would be to read a weekly col­umn of teachers interviewed by a reporter to discover the way they feel about learning and what they hope to impart to their students, thus causing everypne to reflect on the quality and ultimate aims of Education.

Since the university or collective colleges or the community of learners exists for the accumulation, transmission and development of ever-evolving knowledge, The Metropolitan should surely have something to do with that part of what is going on at Auraria.

-T. Mirr

English department, Dr. Spradley. She was told that since Mr. Nadon had been on the faculty for 25 years it must be her fa_ult aJ]._d . that she. should probably drop the course. She then calfed me. The next step I knew was to contact Dean Boxer. He told me he is sympathetic to the student, he will have to talk to Dr. Spradley and Mr. Nadon. Then I called Academic Af­fairs. Yvonne Taylor in Academic Affairs told me that it is up to the dean and department chair to decide what will happen, she also said that if I have a problem I should write a letter to S. G. Sunderwirth, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and complain. I have very high regard for Dr. Sunderwirth but, what happens to the student while they all study the pro­blem.

Would you go back into a class when the instructor has asked you not to attend? Can she be graded objectively by the instructor that has taken her criticism personally? All good questions right? It is just very hard to get an answer from them.

I was elected to serve the students, I feel I deserve an answer, and in fact demand one .

I am sorry to have to write about this but, one week has gone by and the student is still out in the cold. Dr. Spradley has told me that he will set up a meeting with all concerned parties and I only hope that it will take place before this report comes out. Until I can report back on this matter I would encourage you all to consider yourselves mushrooms and let people feed you bullshit.

It's Business-As-Usual . In Construction Phase ·Of Tivoli Shopping Mall

by Susan Skorupa Reporter. The Metropolita~

Somewhere deep in the damp, stone bowels of Tivoli Brewery, general construction foreman Terry Richardson crosses his arms over his chest, grins through his sandy beard and asks, "Think you ~an find your way out?"

The maze. winds from the construction office on the 9th Street side of the 1880's brewery through grain storage rooms, mixing, processing, and refrigeration rooms, past obsolete heating generators and a deteriorating theater, and finally to the rQOf, just below historic Tivoli tower.

Richardson is the perfect tour guide for this odd labyrinth --always sure, never doubling back to retrace his path, ducking nimbly under low, stone doorways and through the gauntlet of construction-in-progr~.

"The construction areas are lettered to keep things straight," he says, pulling a small notebook with a hinged, metal cover from the hip pocket of his jeans. "When I started working here, I made a map to J.ceep with me ...

The inside notebook cover displays a small reproduction of the floorplan, each section carefully lettered and colored .

. In six, short months the brewery will open for busin~ as a shopping mall. . Richardson says about 80 percent of the old section of the brewery has been leased, and so far most of the 32 available spaces have gone to restaurant concerns. One narrow, windowl~ room with exposed brick walls will house a pizza restaurant.

''Kind of hard to imagine eating pizza in here," he says.

~CL Construction ec;. is doing the base construction --putting up ceilings, laymg down floors, making doorways from arched brick windows. Red marks painted on the walls delineate where· new doors will be broken out· . still others may be walled up. '

When the base construction is finished, sometime in May, each busintm owner will be free (within the limits set by developer Trizec Western) to renovate his own space. The maze leads through medieval stone rooms and huge caverns with vaulted ceilings. A spacious, peaked skylight looks down on a new concrete stairway, broad and winding.

The arched windows of an earlier time rise along one wall, the rugged masonry in curious juxtaposition to the smooth cement.

But it's the roof that beckons. In a city filled with shiny glass towers, Tivoli's five levels are hardly remarkable. But the way up is not on a fast, silent elevator, offering no sensation of height. It's step by step and hand over hand.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Richardson asks. "OK, let's go." The wooden ladders stand nearly straight up with no railings. At each

level Richardson points out architectural details or antique machinery, and explains the historical usage of the rooms.

The stage of the Turnhalle Opera House stands amid its own ruins, and on another floor a copper brewing kettle awaits restoration.

More ladders.

The doorway opens onto the tarred roof that springs underfoot like wormy wood. No railings or walls encircle the edge --only an ankle-high ledge, then a straight drop of four stories to the construction site below.

Richardson stands with one foot on the ledge, surveying downtown Denver, with no concern for bis precarious position.

"There's one more flight if you want to go higher," he says. We start back down. Four flights down and through the front door, Richardson points out the

archway over the main entry. · "The flagstones from the arch are four feet wide and ten feet long," be.

says. "They weigh 4000 pounds each and were set in the 1880's. How did they do it? It took a crane to remove them."

Outside, on Lawrence Street, be stops to talk to four workmen taking their break.

"These men are a vanishing breed, you know," he says. "They're bricklayers."

Into t~e maze again, through the parking garage and back to the makeshift office with its plaster board walls and fluorescent lights.

"Now you know as much about Tivoli as I do, so I can go home," Richardson says, on his way back into the maze. 0

Tivoli Opening Moved Up To Late August The renovation of the Tivoli Brewery at 10th and Lawrence Streets con­

tinues to proceed on schedule and developers say the shopping complex will open for business in late August.

Jim Adkins, of the Canadian-based Trizec Western Inc., said a projection made last summer targeted the opening date at sometime in October, "so we're ahead of schedule in this regard."

Trizec signed a 62-year lease with AHEC in 1980, after the plans of several other prospective developers fell through.

Approximately half of the 224,000 square footage has been leased, Adkins said, with most of it going for food and entertainment use, including an AMC movie theater and a number of restaurants.

"Now we're concentrating on specialties such as men's and women's ready-to-wear," he said. "We have a committment from Fashion Bar to do specialty stores such as Careers, Hannah! or Stage."

Adkins handles leasing for Trizec and will manage the project upon its completion.

Each renter will renovate his own space to suit the needs of his business, but Trizec is working on a set of guidelines to maintain the character of the building.

"It's critical to keep the center in unison," Adkins said. "It's an unusual project because the core shell (of the building) is unique."

Adkins said good access from 1-25, Speer Boulevard, and the downtown entertainment centers will help draw customers.

"We stand out like a small castle," he said. "We also have two parking lots (AHEC lots Band E). People often hesitate to come downtown because of parking. We have a big advantage." 0

Predictability Evident In Latest Fil01 Effort Fro01 J a01es Garner by Karen Ziebell Reporter, The Metropolitan

James Garner's Polaroid camera commercials are wonderful. But as the star of Universal's latest movie, Tank, he just doesn't have enough flash.

Garner plays a U.S. Army Sergeant Major in a small southern town somewhere in Georgia, and he just happens to own a fully-restored World War II Sherman tank.

From the beginning, this movie is entirely too predictable --thanks in part to the attempt to make a Smokey and the Bandit movie, army style. The simplistic plot, such as it is, will cause one to choke on one's morals. After all, the movie is certainly not one for the intelligent thinking class.

Garner's character, Zack Carey, -runs smack into a sadistic southern sheriff played by G.D. Spradlin. The oh-so-inevitable showdown between Zack, his tank, and the sheriff even­tually does come --but after a long, predictable two hours later.

From the opening credits to the end, movie cliches besiege the senses. The list is long and tedious, but just imagine a southern cracker sheriff, his town, a military outpost, an in­justice, crooked government officials, bikers, whores, arid a tank. You'll get the idea.

Carey's wife is played by Shirley Jones, who once portrayed wholesome types like Laurie in Oklahoma, and the ever-faithful heroine in Carousel. She spends most of this movie, however, cursing. Her language would make the entire Par­tridge Family blush. If only she had sung instead. When her husband Zack took the tank out of the garage, a chorus or two of The Surrey with the Fringe on the Top would have been nice.

However, there are other people equally responsible for the assasssina­tion of this movie.

Billy Carey, the much maligned son, is played by C. Thomas Howell. He's the main reason why we have to suffer through this atrocity of a

showdown between the tank and the town sheriff. His self-pity routine is just as boring as his self-sacrifice routine.

Jenilee Harrison plays a whore­t urned- good girl. Her whole character is a movie cliche. She is used by the sheriff and his deputy for their own gains. Then, she is saved by Zack. After that, she helps save Billy, but not before she gets her revenge on

March 14, 1984

the deputy. So much for a movie debut.

Unfortunately, Tank is just the kind of movie that will make a for­tune. It has action and adventure galore. There's a little bit of nudity, lots of foul language, and the tank. As long as people keep paying to see this mindless drivel, Hollywood will keep churning it out. 0

- SPORIS &EEC Metro Gets First-Ever National Champion

by Curtis Sandoval Sports Reporter, The Metropolitan

Senior Jeff Smith became the first MSC athletic national champion when he won the three-meter diving title at the National Association of In­tercollegiate Athletics Swimming and Diving Championships last week in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.

Smith also took second place on the one meter board and because he placed in the top six of both events, he was awarded two-time NAIA All American honors.

Ironically, Smith did not qualify for the NAIA national meet until the second to the last meet of the season, but coach Scott D' Andrea was confi­dent even that late that Smith would qualify.

"He's a high pressure performer," said the first-year coach.

Freshman sensation John Thierry broke his own school record in the 100 yd. freestyle with a 47: 10 time to capture eighth place. He was one of five MSC freshmen on one of the youngest teams in the tournament.

The team this year sent a record nine swimmers to the national meet

John Thierry shaves down for speed.

and led by Thierry and Smith, brought home a 15th place finish overall. This marked their best showing in 10 years, beaten only by the '74 squad which placed 11th.

Both Smith and Thierry also qualified to represent MSC at the NCAA Division II national meet in New York where they will compete against bigger schools at a higher level of competition. 0
