Enrollment Falls ~ Robust Economy ' c· d · v· ite in ip

.. by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan

Colorado's robust economy has apparently lured many prospective students into the job market and away from school-possibly accounting for the enrollment decline being experienced by MSC this fall. ·

According th Stan Sunderwirth, Vice President for Academi~ Affairs at MSC, while MSC's enrollment is down from a year ago the college is not experiencing financial difficulties. ·

"Enrollment is not a high as it was a year ago," Sunderwirth said. "One possi­ble reason is that when the economy is improving people tend to try and work and take advantage of the positive jnb market."

However, he said, some of the dif­ference in enrollment is expected to be made up at walk in registration.

"The college is not in trouble," Sunderwirth said. "The college is sound financially." !!!!~~!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~

''Enrollment is not as high as it was a year ago ... ,, but "The college is not in trouble, the college is sound financially."

-Stan Sunderwirth MSC Vice President of Academic Affairs

But at the same time that the healthy economy is leading some students away from school, the low inflation rate being experienced now has helped MSC to im-pliment one of the smallest tuitions increases in the state.

. According to Curtis Wright, Vice President for Business and Finance at MSC, Metro's five percent tuition increase fares well when compared to other schools in Colorado.

A year ago, tuition was up an .average of about 10 percent at Auraria's three schools-about twice as much as it is up tpis year.

In addition, College Press Service reports that tuition is up about six per­cent nationally.

"I think it is lower than the given · ~ run," Wright said. "I haven't done a

The Auraria Board voted unamiously at its August 13 meeting to field bids from seven rapid transit companies for an automated guideway transit system linking the campus to parking lots at Mile High Stadium.

The monorail system-which would nearly double the number of parking spaces available to students-is seen by many as the long-term solution to Auraria's parking problem.

According to Jerry W artgow, Executive Director of AHEC, the board placed an $8 million spending cap on the project.

"Right now we are trying to see if one of the bids is feasable, both technically and financially," Wartgow said. "We hope to, at our October 8 meeting, sign a 90-day letter of intent with the company with the most feasible bid. We should have a contract signed by the first of the year."

"Right now, we are trying to see if one of the bids is feasable, both iechnically and financially~ " .

Although the campus is slated to lose 600 parking spaces to the Tivoli shopp­ing center, W artgow said they are still available for students' use, and should be through the end of the semester.

But the real parking crunch will come when the UCD replacement building is constructed in parking lot P, one of the most utilized lots on campus. W artgow said the lea of lot P will be very signifi­cant because it is larger than many of the other lots and because there is a great turnover there. ·

s Rate of Increase Down From a Year Ago

·College-COst up 6 Percent Nationally (CPS)-The total cost of attending col­lege this school year will increase only six

,, percent over the last year, a new report ~- by the College Board concludes.

Over the last few years, says College Board President George Hanford, col­lege costs have increased 10 to 11 percent a year as colleges boosted tuition to keep pace with high interest rates and infla-

>- tion. The comparatively small increase in

this year's college costs marks what many experts hope is an end to the double-digit cost increases of the last several years.

At public schools, moreover, the increase amounts to only a five percent

'• rise over last year, making the total cost $4,481 for four-year resident student, and $3,998 for ~dents at two-year schools. - Private school students aren't faring quite as well. Costs of attending private

~ colleges are up seven: percent over last .,_ year, for a total cost of $9,022 at four­

year schools and $7,064 at two-year institutions, the study of over 3,000

students nationwide reveals. Total college costs in the survey

include tuition and fees, books and sup­plies, r9om and board, personal expenses, and transportation.

While total costs will rise only six per­cent this year, however, the study also shows that tuition and fees will increase eight-to-nine percent at both public and private schools.

Students at four-year public schools, for example, will pay average tuition and fees of $1,126, while their counter­parts at private colleges will pay an average of $5,016.

The Massachusetts Instutute of Technology will be the most expensive school to attend this year, the survey shows, where total costs will average $16,130.

Bennington College in Vermont comes in second for a total cost of $16,040, followed by Harvard at $15, 750, Princeton at $15,625, and Barnard at $15,558. .

situation over what it was just a year ago. .

Some of the outlying lots have been restriped for compact cars, and the com­pletion of construction of the Speer Boulevard pipeline and Colfax viaduct

~ will re-open to students lots which were blocked last school year.

Two lots near the Colfax viaduct are not operational yet, but the construction company which built the viaduct "has a strong obligation to get those done by

~ August 27," the first day of the fall semester, Wartgow said.

In addition~ AHEC- will provide a

shuttle service to and from Mile High Stadium. Students will be able to park free at designated lots at the stadium and then ride a trolley free to the west en­trance of the Student Center. All that will be required are a current campus identification card and a parking decal.

W artgow sees the ACT system as the permanent parking solution at Auraria, a campus which has over 33,000 students but only about 5,000 parking spaces.

"I think it is our solution because I believe the city is planning to build even more spaces at Mile High, and we don't want any unnecessary duplication." D

Enrollment Down, Tuition' Up '- cont. from page 1

trustees try to work back from impacts of the rampant inflation that plagued the economy in the 1ate 1970s and early 1980s.

After the state meets all of its other spending obligations, Wright said, it

,,,.- allocates money for higher education working within the boundaries of a seven percent of tax money cap on spending.

This allocation of funds is what deter­mines what percentage of actual college costs the students pay at a state college, such as Metro.

Wright said he hoped that the 25 to 75 ratio could be achieved again in about two or three years, "especially if infla­tion stays where it is or even drops some more, which would really be nice." D

Sarah Lawrence College, in that order, round out the list of the ten most expen­sive schools to attend.

But the College Board figures may be a bit deceiving, points out Meredith Ludwig with the American Aswciation of State Colleges and Universities, which is conducting a similar survey for release later this fall. · "Many schools are still involved in the legislative process (for state funding) and tuition and fees haven't been set yet," she said.

. ""We expect (this year's cost increase) to be a little less than last year's," she said, probably around "six-to-eight per­cent" when all the figures are in.

The cost increases of the last few years came because colleges had put off thin~ like building maintenance and salary increases during the seventies in an effort

to hold down tuition and fees, ·said Kathleen Brouder, associate director of College Board's Scholarship Services.

This year's curtailment o.f cost increases, she added may mean colleges have finally caught up with such defer­red expenses.

Now that inflation has subsided and interest rates are down, agrees AASCU Ludwig, college costs could level off for a few years.

But Ludwig · and College Board officials are quick to note they really aren't sure why costs increased so little this year.

"Everybody's been saying it's becatise colleges have finally caught up with expenses and because the economy is bet­ter," she said. "But we're really just using that reason because there aren't any other explanations." D

Colfax Viaduct Opens

The new Colfax viaduct was opened to traffic August 7, nearly 100 days ahead of schedule. The new viadcut should ease traffic through campus.

s Higher Ed Changes Examined by Kevin Vaughan Edltor, The MetropolUan

Once again widespread changes in the Colorado higher education system are being examined by the legislature-but the advocate of these latest changes said Auraria would not be affected.

Sen. Al Mieklejohn, R..:_Arvada, and Chairman of the Senate Education Com-· mittee, has recommended that some of the states' smaller colleges be closed and ·others be put under the domain of larger colleges and universities within Col­orado.

"I have never believed that we should merge the three schools at Auraria," Mielclejohn said. "Auraria serves a tremendous purpose within the state. Students who want a CU type of educa­tion can get it, students who want a Metro type of education can get it and

Dr. Brage Golding has taken over as interim president of Metropolitan State College while a search committee looks for a permanent replacement for Dr. Richard Fontera, who died last spring after a long bout with cancer. ·

Golding comes to MSC with impressive credentials. From 1977 to 1982, Golding was president of Kent 1itate University and led the school back to solid ground after several years of instability.

Prior to taking the head post at Kent State, Golding wa5 president of San Diego State University for five years. Before that, Golding was the first presi­dent of Wright State University in Dayton Ohio, from 1966 to 1972, when he moved to San Diego.

The Legislature, which just last spring killed a bid to merge the Auraria schools under the University of Colorado Board of Regents, has seen a flurry of reorganization proposals over the last five years.

"Metro is a hell of an institution and serves a tremendous purpose in Col­orado," he said. "I would go so far as to \ say that I would resist any tinkering with the Auraria concept. Why fix something that isn't broken is the way I look at it."

"We need to look at different ways of doing this," Gillis said. "He (Mielclejohn)

SPOTLIGHT ., Financial Aid Set .to Help Students

Editor's note: During the course of the semester we are planning to run a variety

~ of features on the people, clubs, and < organizations which help make Auraria

one of the most unique campuses in the country. This is the first article in the series.

by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan

To many students, the local college financial aid office represents a bastion of bureaucratic red tape and incon­venience.

Some, perhaps, even bypass the oppor­tunity for financial aid because the thought of filling our all of those forms and going through all of those interviews is so terrible. - ,

Well, Dr. Cheryl Judson is trying to change all of that for MSC students.

Judson assumed the position of Finan­cial Aid Director at MSC August 1, and has since made changes in the depart­ment to open it up to more students and plans even more changes to make the process of applying for financial aid as simple as ~ible.

"We want to provide the best ~ible service to students," Judson said, "and I'll know we've done our job if there is never a reason for students to come to this office."

Dr. Judson comes to MSC from Oregon State University, where she was the Assistant Director of Financial Aid before taking the head post at Metro. She earned her Ph. D. in 1981 from Oregon State, with emph~ in College Student Services Administration, Business Ser­vices, and Psychology.

"There will always be a counselor on call and the of­fice is now physically more inviting than it was. We have to better serve the students so they can better serve the community."

-Dr: Cheryl Judson

Judson earned her Masters Degree from Michigan State University in 1973 with emphasis in Higher Education

'Administration, College Student Person­nel and Psychology. In addition to finan-cial aid, she has experience in veteran's affairs, admissions, career counseling and academic advising. .

One of the first changes she made after arriving at Metro was to make the finan­cial aid office more open to students by redesigning the outer office space.

"There were all of these green dividers sealing the office off from the students,"

'- she said. "This place looked dead. There were no plants. Now, the office person­nel are in the open and can be seen by the students. It's a matter of body language, I think."

Judson also mandated that there would always be a financial aid counselor on call to meet with students if necessary.

Besides redesigning the outer office, Judson is trying to upgrade the computer capabilities of the office to make the application process "less burdensome."

"Right now,'' she said, "it seems a ter­rible long time between the time a stu­dent applies for financial aid and finds out if he or she has received it ... The cur­rent computer system is barely adequate to handle the amount of work we have."

But with all of the changes, . Judson still has one question: "Why aren't we getting more applications for financial aid?"

"At Oregon," she said, "by March 1 we had about 6,000 applications, which was about twice what we could handle. Here, we were able to provide full finan­cial aid for all eligible applicants through the end of June ... It seems to me that more Metro students should be eligi­ble for financial aid." ·

Judson is planning to work closely with all -.departments on campus to insure that students are getting the infor­mation they need to make application deadlines, for example, she said.

spring semester is over. That way students know where they stand before the semester starts.

In comparing Metro to Oregon, Judson notice some very real differences, especially in the student body.

"I would anticipate that students here are more mature and have more expecta­tions for this office," Judson said. "Students are probably a little more cosmopolitan in their expectations. That's the thing about a commuter cam­pus-:-Oregon was your basic 18 to 22 year old student body, and Metro is not like that."

"I love Denver, it has a lot of cultural opportunities-we have everything here we had in Oregon except the ocean, but rm not an ocean person so that's all right. The campus is so beautiful-it's like an oasis in the city."

When I got here "there were all of these green dividers sealing the office off from the students. This place looked dead .... Now, the of-... jice personnel are in the open and can be seen by the students. It's a matter rJf body language, I think. H

-Dr. Cheryl Judson

More important than the beauty of the campus, Judson said, is the service the Financial Aid Office can offer the students.

, "We are going to make every attempt to streamline the processing and serve in

Dr. Cheryl J uclson

"We really need cooperation from the faculty to better serve the students and to explain what we are trying to do here . . . Students will appreciate this office, par­ticularly if they see they are getting bet­ter service."

One of the biggest challenges facing J usdon and the Office of Financial Aid is the awarding of aid on or ahead of schedule.

"Right now, we are late in making the awards," Judson explained. "I anticipate in the future that, for example, award recipients for the fall semester receive their award letter sometime before the

any way we can the students,'' she emphasized. "There will always be a oounselor on call and the office is now physically more inviting than it was. We have to better serve the students so they can better serve the community."

··we want to provide. the best possible service to students, and rzz know we,ve done our iob if there is never a reason for students to come to-this office.,,

-Dr. Cheryl Judson

But students are not the only people Judson wants to have input in making the financial aid office more workable. "If anyone has any suggestions or recom­mendations on how the financial aid office could provide better service, I would like them to come to me,'' she said. "This staff works very hard, but we will do our best to accommodate in any way we can.''

Another advantage, she said, is that "compared to Oregon, there is no rain here." 0

Welcome, first timers. Welcome back, old timers. Welcome back to exams and termpapers and ugly professors and non-existent parking spaces and high priced text books. Welcome back to your friends and beers at the Mere' and ski weekends and the Broncos.

Legif services for ,MSC students is back. Funding was dumped in the spring semester for the UCD program which we were buying into. The new student government, under President Lisa Espiritu, established a committee to figure out what to do. After a few weeks for haggling, the committee decided that the best alternative was to return to the UCD program. In fact we never did figure out why we left the program at all. About 30 MSC students were refused Legal Ser­vices over the Summer semester. This was sad since your student fees are supposed to provide Legal Services. Well, we recovered our own fumble and now students can get low cost (free) legal advice. . . ,

We are interested in other issues. We are keeping an eye on the state legislatures Education Committee which concerns itself with everything but students. We will probably have another attempt at the Student Center Enhancement project which was underhandedly defeated ~y special interests in a referendum last spring. And the long awaited for student policy for grievance procedures should become reali­ty as Dr. Golding, MSC's President, has taken a hand in the matter and forced some action . ·

Another big issue is taxes on students. Oops, I mean student fees. We collect up­wards of three-quarters of a million bucks and turn it into services for students. The problem is we are maxed out. There is no money to spread around. So w~at do we do? Raise taxes/ fees? Cancel or cut back services.? We need to determine what programs we need and what those programs provide to the students. If students don't do this , then someone else will tell us what we need. We need to answer important -questions. Should the Health Center get a third of the student taxes budget? Should student fees fund collegiate athletics at Metro? Should we provide night students access to all Student Services? Should we pay the Vice President of Student Government to hang aroung and write newspaper columns? If you, the students, don-'t tell us your answers, then your student gover~ent reps will assume their answers are the only ones. And that means the only voices heard are special interests. A referendum in the fall will give you a chance to voice your opinion.

OP/ED Now, here comes the "y'all get involved" pitch. Student Government always

needs new people. Our 25 human Senate will need 5 people by the time school starts again. We need people for our Judicial Board, Election Commi.Mion, Cabinet and the various and sundry committees, taskforces and boards which de­mand student representation. Some positions require only one hour a month, others require several hours every day. I, myself, hate polities and I often feel like a kindergarten teacher around here. But, the education and experience I am get­ting in interpersonal communication is what has kept me involved. You don't get that chasing down a Physics degree. I urge everyone to get involved. Tqere is something here you can learn about and that's dealing with people. You can read about it, get told about it and get A's in it. But, until you get out and practice communicating you don't know a thing; I'm coevinced student government pro­vides a semi-serious framework to learn and prac,l\\ce communication before going out to the real world.

._Eurythmics Shine Through Rain by Chris Deutsch Special to The Metropolitan

Warm, summerlike outdoor concerts may be little more than "Sweet Dreams" this time of year. For that matter, "Here comes the Rain Again" could hardly have been more appropriate a theme as the Eurythmics came to town Monday night to perform before several thousand Qiehards at Bedrocks in Morrison. 70 Both on record, and in concert, the Eurythmics seem to have what it takes to ~ome one of the most enduring and

••

endearing acts to be spawned by the latest British musical wave.

The band was one of those · most helped by the success of MTV. There is no qu~oning the striking visual appeal of vocalist Annie Lennox; with her short cropped hair and aristocratic features that offset her brightly colored, avant garde clothing. Much the same can be said of her bearded partner, guitarist Dave Stewart.

Visuals aside, it was the music which made the wait worthwhile for the rain­drenched, wet Rocks crowd-who sang, danced, and seemed generally unaf-

fected by it all. Luckily, the same was true for Annie, Dave and the rest of the band who left the relative shelter of a covered stage to get a little closer to the fans.

Annie Lennox is a marvelously expressive performer, and the Eurythmics assembled a crack back-up band, with horns, drums, and some hot and funky bass. The aforementioned tunes as well as numerous others-including_ "Love is a Stranger" -came off with energy and aplomb. This dispite the best efforts of Mother Nature. D

Players, MAC Team up for Musical .... The MSC Players have announced

four shows which will .comprise their 1984-85 season. Highlighting this year will be the season opener "Anyone Can Whistle", which starts October 18th. A I!lusical written by Stephen Sondeheim and Arthur Laurents, the production will be a joint project between the MSC Players and the Musical Affairs Commit­tee. According to Players president Dan Murray, this is the first project at MSC in which two clubs have both equally con­tributed to the event in this way.

The Student Affairs Board has granted each club $3,000 for the task. It will include a 10-12 piece orchestra in addi­tion to a small chorus. Cfaudia Irwin, who has done work for the Colorado Opera, was chosen to be the director. ~ The position of director is the only position not held by students. Students will get to try their hands in that capaci­ty with the student directed one-act plays which were initiated last year. This year's one-acts are slated to open May 1st ~d the excitement generated by that project is understandably running very high.

The four shows preceding the one-acts are directed by experienced area direc­tors. In June the Players solicited applications for two directors and were bombarded with highly professional, extremely qualified candidates. Of a field of 18, Thomas Cochran and David Kottenstette were chosen to direct "Crimes of the Heart" and "Hot L Baltimore," respectively. Those plays will run later in the Spring semester.

Though many of the directive and techincal positions are already filled, the MSC Players and Music Activities Com­mittee are still looking for actors, musi­cians, singers, and stagehands. Auditions for the chorus and acting troupe will be held in Arts 271 Wednesday tbrnugh Fri­day, August 29-31from3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 11 p.m. Orchestra auditions are Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7, from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7to10 p.m. This is excellent first hand experience along with being more than enough fun. Any questions can be directed to Dan Murray at 629-3033 or David Sckolnik of the Music Activities Committee at 629-3180. D

SPORTS Temmer to Coach Men and Women~ by Curt Sandoval Sportl Editor, The Metropolitan

Men's soccer coach Harry Temmer will have his hands full this fall as he takes on the head coaching responsibility of both the men and women soccer teams.

Temmer said he has mixed emotions about coaching both teams this season.

Temmer started the soccer program here at MSC 15 years ago, coaching both clubs, before choosing to coach only the men.

Both teams will be practicing at the same time. However, because of NAIA and NCAA rules, the teams can not prac­tice together or they will become inelligi­ble.

On the occasions when the men and

Two members of the women's soccer team fight for the ball at practice Monday . .

wom~.m have games on the same day, Temmer said he does not know which game he will go to. Temmer ~aid with the help of his assistants Al Ashton, Lorne Donaldson and Ingue (Benny) Jorsted, the soccer program has an ex­cellent coaching staff.

"We plan to use everyone's (the coaching staff) talents to a maximum," Temmer said.

Temmer said he does not know what to expect from the womens' team this year. However, he does see a step of pro­gress because of a first ever national tournament for the women.

"The womens' team is the new kid on the block," Temmer said. When asked if he could treat both teams fairly, he said, "I believe so." The women will open their season on the road against Col-

orado College Saturday, September 8. Temmer said he is excited about the

men's squad this season. "I can build a good team with returning men," said Temmer. As many as 14 men may tie returning this year.

Regis, Mines and Colorado College should all be tough competitors for the Road Runners. DU, Metro's main rival, is tough to evaluate right now because they lost a couple of good players, • Temmer said. ""'

Last season MSC produced seven all­league players and is hoping this year to better their fourth place finish in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer· League. The men open their season this year at home with a winter squad ane alumni game on Saturday, August 25 at noon and 2 p.m., respectively. 0

For Women's Volleyball,... Experience is the Key· by Curt Sandoval Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

The MSC women's volleyball team has been practicing twice a day to condition and prepare themselves for their alumni game home opener Saturday, September 5 at 7 p.m. .

Head coach Pat Johnson said this year may be a rebuilding year. The Roadrun­ners will rely on the returning experience of Catherine Guiels, Donna Barros, Terri Mohr and Sue Hays to lead this traditional winning club into the 1984 season.

MSC will take on Air Force, UNC, Regis, DU, the University of Alaska at Anchorage and Fairbanks and Eastern Montana State University two times each as part of the new NCAA Division Il Continental Divide Conference.

Johnson said it's a little early to be able to tell how they'll do, but she said the

team will be competitive with all the ·teams in the conference and should finish in the upper half of the con~ ference. Johnson also said she expects Air Force to be the team to contend with in the conference.

The volleyball team is also part of the NAIA District VII league. Johnson said MSC looks good in this league with Mest1 College as the Roadrunners' top com­petitor. MSC placed third in the nation in this league just two years ago.

The women will host 14 home games this season as will as the MSC invita­tional tournament in October.

At the present time the team is ca~ ing 15 women. With the help of assistant coach Frank Larvisha, the volleyball program is also planning to run a junior varsity squad this season. Coach Johnson is looking for some walk-ins with high school experience to lift the team to 18 t~ 20 members. Anyone interested can con­tact Pat Johnson at 629-2969. 0

·~r~ .Country Team Under New. Management by Curt Sandoval Sporta Editor, The MetropoUtan

Michael Peterson, a two time All-4roerican from CU as well as a qualifier .(i'Qr the 1980 Olympic trials, was chosen a month ago as the new head coach of the MSC coed Cross Country team.

Peterson feels within five years the er~ country program here at MSC will be very strong. However, "this year does. jlOt look promising," said the 1975 CU graduate. ·

This season, Peterson should have just enough members to make a team. The Road Runners will be led by returning All-American Charlie Blueback, Peter­son said. John Veltman will also be a ma-

1'<>r contributor to this year's squad. Peterson has talked to nearly half the .

high school coaches in the state only to­find most of the upcoming freshmen are already committed to other colleges. However, he did get two exceptional freshmen. ·

t Pacco Sanchez, who qualified for the two-mile at state last season, from North High, and Scott Calvo of Centarus, must contribute in their first season, which is asking a lot, Peterson said.

Peterson is a firm believer in fewer µieets to test his athlete's progression and ~ lot of training, and will have his first of only seven meets on Saturday, September 8 in Gunnison against Western State.

"I don't believe you have to run a meet every weekend," Peterson said. What is

,.;.mportant is how far the athlete goes at

were selected for the National Associa­'tion of Intercollegiate Athletic All­District Seven Academic Team. Zelda Thomas, with a 3.56 GPA in aviation management and holder of five MSC records, was selected in women's track. Doug Schroeder, 3.24 GPA in business; J(eith Schulz, 3.60 GPA in psychology;

the end of the season, said the new head coach.

Peterson also believes in developing the er~ country program to overcome

the negative image that MSC is not a first class institution in Colorado. "If we can offer a good program, then, no one else has an edJr:e on us,'' Peterson said.

"Hopefully we'll have some fun and do well," he said. But it's hard to tell what is going to happen your first year~ he ad­ded. D

Good friends keep you going when all you want to do is stop.

Your feet hurt. Your legs hurt. Even your teeth hurt.
