• The Metropolitan

Tobin G. Barrow, provost and vice president of academic affairs at Metropolitan State College, resigned last Friday. He was selected to become president ofMetropolitan State University in Minneapolis-St. Paul, 4Minn.

Barrow will be entering his new position next month.

"The university is much like Metro," Barrozo said "It is an institution of growth and development."

Barrozo knew that he was a viable candidate for the position last January, and it was then that he began briefing administrators on the specifics to carry out his responstbilities should he leave.

MSC doesn't have anyone ye~ to fill Barrow's position. MSC President Thomas B. Brewer said they :Will have to send out a search committee to-fill the Vice president position. The vacant provost position will not be filled.

Barrozo came, to MSC in,, 1986 from William Patterson CQIJ.ese·~·New Jersey

where he was the iwociate dean of academic development and research. He has a doctorate in philosophy from Stanford University.

"Metro State has become, in a personal way, an institution which I have enjoyed professionally as well as making many friends," Barrow said. "I have much respect for my colleagues, and it is with sadn~ that I leave."

Brewer said that he gives his best wishes to Barrozo, and said that he is "pleased for him on his career objective: he is an energetic D and most talented man."

PFM defends its contract Jeff Ma1la1 The Metropolitan Prof~ional Food Management,

BRIEFS. Communication workshop MSC will offer "When It's Your Turn: Speaking On the Job," a workshop on workplace communication, this fall at Metro on the Mall.

The workshop will be conducted at 8:30 until 11 :30 a.m., Wednesdays from Oct. 25 through Nov. 8. Students will develop business speaking skills including dealing with stress, focusing on speech content and delivery.

The fee for the workshop is $95, and college credit is available for students who enroll.

Metro on the Mall is located at 1554 California St., Suite 200. For more information call Carol Svendsen at 623-1500.

a national food company that operates food and beverage semces at MSC, has been under scrutiny by some students for having what seems like a monopofuation of food services on campus.

PFM has contract rights to four major eating establishments: the cafeteria in the Student Union and North Classroom, and the food

and beverage services in The Mission and The Mercantile.

Gary McManUSi mtant director of auxiliary contract services, said the reason PFM has contracts for the four eating places is because PFM is the company with the best services and-the lowest financial bid contracts offered to Metro.

PFM has also been questioned because of their contract allegedly allowing them to be the exclusive food caterer for all group meetings

McManus said he sees no problem with students bringing their own food into the Student Union cafeteria, as long as they receive a clearance through Tom Roarick, director for PFM. McManus said PFM does not want to see someone reserving a space and bringing in a private "banquet" catered party.

"You couldn't have a catered banquet in the middle of the cafeteria on an afternoon when all the students are in there," McManus said If students want to reserve a space in the North ~room they can, ifthey reserve a space through AHEC's scheduling and conference service coordinator.

Kathy Motley, scheduling and conference service coordinator, said students must go through PFM when scheduling anything having to do with food McManus and Roarick said scheduling catered events where food was to be served is done through AHEC. ~ McManussaidstudentscanbring I their own food to any of the four ~ establishments. He said people & brown bag all the time in the ; Student Union. ii' "There's a lot of misinformation • out there concerning PFM. The

only contractional requirement is that PFM has the first right of refusal on catered events within the Student Union," McManus said "Once you're outside the StUdent Union anyone can cater anything."

For most people PFMis probably used because they are close and convenient to campus, McManus said. ''There are so many other food alternatives around here," he said He said students have many other eating options to choose from if they are not satisfied with the performance of MSC's eating establishments.

"The Tivoli's full of places.

Colfax is full of places. You can always stop on your way home, too. You don't have to eat here if you don't like it," McManus said.

According to McManus the campus should be receiving $50,000 in commissions from PFM this year for campus beautification projects. The commissions will come from PFM's recent contract takeover at The Mercantile, he said.

James Schoemer, executive vicepresident for AHEC said the projected revenue for The Mercantile's current year is $205,000. o

BriifiQUal program losing its funding lneke Caycedo The Metropolitan

For students in Metro's bilingual teacher education program, next semester is a little uncertain.

The program, created in 1983, has been federally funded for the last six years by what the government calls "seed" money to help it get started. said Associate Professor Charles Mena, director of the program.

Now that money is gone.

The program's request for another three years of funding was denied, which means that the students, all of whom received some money through the program, are left to fend for themselves.

Many of the 56 students had their tuition, books and fees paid for and some received an additional stipend depending on their need.

"I ~ve really been out there scrambling to find a scholarship," said Lucy Garcia-Tracy, a senior in the program hoping to graduate next spring.

"Were it not for the program, I would not be at Metro, because of the financial situation I was in," she said.

Many of the single mothers in the program are very worried about how they are going to get by without the funding, Garcia-Tracy said She said Mena was doing all he could to help students out.

"What I have asked all my students to do is to apply for financial aid," Mena said.

He is also trying to find sources in the community to donate money, including the local school districts where many of the students are paraprofessionals.

The districts have shown a lot of interest in helping, but have been unable to come up with much money because they are strapped themselves, Mena said MSC has also been very helpful, he said. The Metro Foundation will match up to $400 for every private donation through part of an mistance program for minority students; and they have been very helpful in supplying leads for possible funding.

MSC may be getting a new name "I was shocked that a standard and a name of 25 years cduld be obliterated, at least in support, in five minutes," said Dan Becker, student representative to SACAB, after the meeting. "When the Senate speaks for 17,000 [students], five minutes is kind of short."

Another student Senator stands accused of being a racist.

At the Wednesday, Oct.11, Senate meeting, a white student, Dan Holden, accused a Chicano, Sen. Joe Navarro, of making racist comments against "the white race" in a Metropolitan editorial last month.

Holden then asked the Senate to begin impeachment proceedings against Navarro.

Vice President Bill Jermance quickly announced the matter would be sent to rules committee, where members of a sub-committee will be selected to investigate the matter.

Once formal charges are brought up to the Senate against any of its members, procedure requires them to investigate.

Fifteen students, including members of the Black Student Alliance and MECbA, a Mexican-American student organization, came to the Senate meeting in support of Navarro. Gabe Bueno, an MSC student, booed during Holden's speech, but refrained after Jermance pounded his gavel and called for order. Bueno said he is not involved in either MEChA or the BSA. Holden and members of the BSA quarrelled at the back of the meeting area until Sergeant-at-Arms Vallerie Vallas and Jermance repeatedly asked them to be quiet "It's a sad statement that in 1989 people like Dan Holden still make light of the seriousness of racism in our colleg_e institutions. He dares to believe that he knows what racism feels like based on Joe's letter," said BSA President Lisa Calderon after the Senate meeting. ''There are clearly racist statements in (the

Holden also accused Navarro at the meeting of harassing him personally by writing the editorial. "rm asking for his impeachment so he'll have to prove he's not a racist and that he hasn't been harassing me," Holden said.

"I really avoid him," Navarro said. "I wrote two editorials. I don't follow him. I don't call him on the phone ... I really critici7.ed him in an editorial Oast spring) ... I didn't name any names (in the September editorial).

"If the subcommittee finds it appropriate to begin impeachment proceedings against me, it would be a double standard of justice," Navarro said. o

Harassment discussed Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan

A thre»member panel emphasiud prevention and prosecution of sexual harasmnent and sexual assault, and offered suggestions " for both at an Oct. 16 discussion that kicked off Auraria Public Safety's Crime Prevention Days.

"It's important that every student and employee at Metro familiarize themselves with what to do in case ofsexual hanmment," ,,. Percy Morehouse, Director of Equal Opportunity, said Morehouse said to confront the person first, either personally or through the campus' counseling center, the Women's Resource Center or the person's supervisor.

"We [the Equal Opportunity Office] are compelled by law to act immediately in taking corrective action, whether it's a letter of reprimand or firing," Morehouse said, Morehouse said no one at Metro has been fired over a sexual harassment or sexual S. assault charge, but that it owould happen ifit was necessary.

Anything that creates an offensive or hostile environment can be considered sexual banmment, including use of words like "Honey" and "Sweetheart" in reference to a person, or obscene or provocative pictures ,, on a wall.

"It's not intent, it's what's perceived by the person on the receiving end," Morehouse said.

Metro criminal justice profeswr JackieLynn Wilson reviewed and assimilated facts ~ surrounding sexual assault cases. The similarities in rape targets led to her invention of the acronym ARC - alertness, routine and carelessness - as keys to rape prevention.

"More attacks occur in places where we are most secure, if you're in a strange place

you'll be more aware of things around you.

At home your guard is down, more women are grabbed between the front door and the mailbox ... be alert," Wilson said Wilson compared security against sexual assault to terrorist prevention techniques use by executives. Breaking routines is essential in thwarting the plans of both terrorists and potential rapists.

"I recommend all women keep an extra $20 in their purse for cab fare. H you use public transportation, especially late at night, change your routine and every once in awhile call yourself a cab," Wilson said Ann Byrne, Executive Director of the Rape ~istance and Awareness Program, said that although precautions against strangers are important, the vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by people the victim knows.

"Generally, with date or acquaintance rape, the inan doesn't believe he's done anything wrong, that the woman deserved it, or he took her to dinner so he was entitled," Byrne said.

The RAAP is a bilingual counseling, referral and prevention education service for people who have been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted Byrne said she encourages people to use the RAAP 24-bour hotline if they just want to talk or suspect they were involved in an incident, because, she said, if they suspect something, chances are they're right.

"It's important to pursue it, take legal action and deal with it emotionally," Byrne said.

Morehouse said that he would estimate that less than 5 percent of all reported sexual banmment or sexual assault cases involve a male victim, however, he stressed that many incidents go unreported o

Metropolitan State College may soon offer the only fire service bachelor's degree in the state.

The final proposal for the fire service administration bachelor's degree left the office of profesmonal studies on Friday to receive the final signatures n~ before review this month or next, said Marc Rabinoff, associate dean of the school of professional studies.

Rabinoff said he doesn't expect the degree, which will be of a "two plus two" set up, to meet any major obstacles, although any proposal is always subject to revision. The "two plus two" program means that students will receive an associate's degree at · a community college and then transfer to MSC to complete the bachelor's program. H everything goes smoothly, Rabinoffsaid that the program could be in place by spring 1990.

There are three schools in the front range area that offer an A.A. in acceptable fields: Red Rocks Community College, Aims Community College and Colorado Mountain College.

The program will be "a win-win situation for Metro," Rabinoff said, by costing the school no money, bringing in an estimated 50 new students, as well as the prestige of a unique program.

Since it's an administrative degree, there

will not be many fire courses added to the schedule, Rabinoff said. ''There won't be any labs," he explained "We aren't going to be putting out any fires."

What the curriculum will include are courses in political science, criminal justice, management, marketing and computer. science.

While the program is open to anyone, Rabinoff said be expects the majority of people seeking the degree to already be firefighters who are looking to advance their careers.

But is it n~ to offer a degree in the fire services?

"It is absolutely n~," said George Goldbach, chairman of the Public Services Department at Red Rocks. "It ~ time for firefighters in Colorado to step into the 20th century."

Goldbach, a retired New York City fireman who set up a bachelor's in fire science at Salem State College in Massachusetts and has been at Red Rocks on and off for seven years, said he feels that Colorado has fallen behind the rest of the country in preparation of its firefighters.

Increasingly, however, among the country and in Colorado, there are education requirements being imposed on the managers of fire departments. For example, in Lakewood, an employee.must complete 60 credit hours to receive the rank oflieutenant or captain, and 120 credit hours to be promoted to chief, said Goldbach.

Credit through exams criticized credit. CLEP examinations are developed by national testing centers.

Bettv Lewis

The M'etropolitan

Credit for Prior Learning, the mait controversial of the three, helps students earn credits for previous career experience.

Through the program, students prepare a portfolio which is used to apply for aedit for specific courses in the MSC bulletin.

Several of Metro's faculty members are concerned about three nontraditional programs through which students can earn a four-year degree in as little as one year.

CLEP (Colleg~Level Enmination Program), Credit through Examination and Credit for Prior Learning are the three programs which allow students to test out of or earn credit through portfolios for up to about 80 of the 120 semester hours of credit required for graduation.

According to Marge Irwin, counselor for Metro's adult learning services, the most common reason students return to college after years of work experience is because they must have a degree in order to advance in their current jobs. Many students, she said, become discouraged by the number of core courses they are required to take outside of their major and never graduate.

"It is a very diflicult program and a lot of work," said Maun:en IJlllC3Sler, associate director of adult learning services. "You have to be committed to want to do it" The program, she said, requires students to ~ vide verification they've comp1ctcd the work for which they are requesting credit. The experience must match the requirements of the existing MSC course.

Lancaster said several departments object to these nontraditional programs. "Some departments won't accept portfolios, and others will only accept them on certain subjects," she said.

"CLEP is designed to get them past the core courses and on to the real reason they've returned to college," she said. Students who prove their proficiency in the CLEP examinations, which cut across a wide spectrum. of freshman level college courses, are able to bypass up to 60 credit hours of general studies courses and go directly to their major area:o.

Irwin said Credit through Examination works much the same way as CLEP except the examinations are prepared by the Metro faculty member who teaches the specific course for which the student is seeking

Jerry Boswell, profeaor of finanoc. is more concerned about the Credit for Prior Learning program than the CLEP program because there are no national norms "with which to compare il "How can you judge credit for prior learning?" be said. "Everyone has experience in something. At least CLEP exams are hued on national norms."

But George Becker, chairman of the biology department, is skepcical of all three programs. "Biology is not learned in everyday life," he said. "You don't learn about

DNA working as a bellhop or looking at plates in a public health lab."

He said the biology department has never granted credit for prior learning, though many students have tried for it.

Becker said he has spoken with four students this week alone and none of their backgrounds were strong enough. He said the general adademic information that students learn in a classroom benefit students more than anything else they learn in life. "fm sensitive about accreditation," be said. "When a student cams credit from this department, we are sure that student is well trained. My reputation and the reputation of this oollege rests on that" Other than through official transcripts, Becker believes there is no way to evaluate the previous expericncc of a student.

Aaxmting to the adult learning services 20 semester hours of aedit is the most any student has earned through the Credit Prior Leaming Program.

Lancaster said many departments are in favor of the pro~ and recognll:e that students commonly work in a certain field for several years before they earn an official degree. The experience they gain while on the job, she said, is very valuable. "I recogniz.e the aoceptance of these programs will be slow in coming," she said. "Some departments have a philosophy that quality education only comes through traditional iearning. However, we [adult learning services] have to look at other options that help nontraditional students achieve their

for

educational goals."

Thousands of college students across the country this fall will be studying ways to walk away with the $25,000 top priu in TheSeoondAnnual AT&TCollegiate Investment Challenge.

The AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge, produced by Wall Street Games, Inc., is based on a hands-on educational concept that recreates actual stock-market trading.

Students participating will trade in the stock market by calling in on an 800 line to a full-service brokerage firm. "Brokers" will handle all trades from students using a computeriz.ed stock-quotation network that receives up-to-the-minute prices via satellite from the stock exchanges.

This year's competition, with more than $200,000 in cash prizes, is expected to outdraw The First Annual AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge, which attracted 11,250 student participants from evecy state.

The top 10 collegiate finishers and their guests will be flown to the Bahamas for the AT&T Awards Banquet, where they'll split $61,500 in cash prizes (lst-$25,000, 2nd$10,000, 3rd-$7,SOO, 4th-$5,000, Sth$4,000, 6th-$3,000, 7th-$2,000, 8th-$2,000, 9th-$ l ,OOO, 1Oth-$1,000). They will spend a six-day vacation in the Bahamas as honored guests of the Bahamas Ministry ofTourism.

The AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge was created by Tim DeMello, 30 (Founder of Wall Street Games, Inc.), a former stockbroker from Boston, who decided there should be a realistic way for students to go through the trial-and-error phase of learning the stock market and it's important role in business. • Of last year's 11,250 collegiate participants, 22 became "millionaires" and 12 went completely broke.

There is also a division that ranks colleges against each other. Any college with at least SO students participating in the AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge stands to benefit At the end of the competition, the top 10 colleges in the country will receive an engraved plaque noting their top ranking.

And the top college will receive its plaque in person, from Tim DeMello, founder of the AT&T Challenge anda VIP from AT&T, at a reception for all "Challenge" participants right on the campus of the winning college.

New York University won top honors in the first Challenge.

Profes&>rs can enter the competition as well in a separate division.

mercial flying, instrument rating and helicopter flight instructor licenses in 1987.

In 1988, Peelgrane phoned Norm.ile with an offer of a job as helicopter pilot at Channel 7 News.

In the time Normile worked for Channel 7, she flew for aerial footage of the news and gave speeches at elementary and high schools.

"A lot of the high school kids looked older than me," Normile said, "I would have rather been flying, but the speeches were part of the job."

She also helped out in a Channel 7 documentary about airplane crashes in which Dave Minshall was the reporter.

"I got my name on the credits in the documentary," Normile said. "It was so exciting. rve seen the documentary only once, but I kept replaying the credits just to see my name."

Helicopters give her a lift Jennifer Karkl The Metropolitan

"The most fun rve had flying a helicopter is when I was chasing jack rabbits five feet off the ground in Alamosa. The rabbits would zig-z:ag in the path with their ears " flopping up and down. I wouldn't run the rabbits to death, but they would run so fast. I had a blast I like doing some helicopter tricks, too," said Amy Normile, a 5-foot 2-inch Metro student.

Normile has been flying planes since ). 1983.

"None of my family members flew," Normile said, "I just got interested in aviation and decided to take lessons at Centennial Airport."

She received her private-airplane license on her 17th birthday, after completing the ' course in six months.

However, Nonnile decided that helicopters would be more exciting. She called Peter Peelgrane, then the air traffic reporter from Channel 7 News. She said it was Peelgrane who started her in the right airection toward .. a career in helicopter aviation.

Peelgrane couldn't provide helicopter lessons for Normile personally because of problems with helicopter insurance, but he found a place in Sydney, Australia, that would give Normile helicopter ~ns and a certificate.

Normile spent three-and-a-halfmonths in Sydney, but the heliropter m>ns fdl through.

"All I got in Sydney was a good tan," Normile said, "I was upset that the company turned out to be a sham, but it was a fun â&#x20AC;˘ vacation anyway."

From Sydney, Normile went to Orange County, Calif., for a crash course in airplane and helicopter flying. She ftew three times a day, seven days a week, for two and a half months.

"I was dreaming helicopters at the time; all I did was Dy." Normile said that when she completed her flying lessons, she received her com-

Although Normile isn't flying for Channel 7 now, she is staying active earning her journalism degree at Metro. She said she likes the journalism program better than the aviation program at Metro, and she feels like she is taking steps in the right direction.

Normile has been flying for more than six years and has about 600 flying hours. She said that she should be doing more with her flying, but admits that she should be more patient with herself since she has two more years until she graduates.

"I wish I could have a flying job right now," Normile said, "but if I get my journalism degree with a minor in aviation I think I will be able to find a good job."

Asked if she would like an airplane job, Normile said, "Helicopters are really more exciting than airplanes. There is so much more you can do in a helicopter, go backwards or sideways. I prefer the challenge of flying a helicopter." o

LETTERS

Brewer comment insensitive Stranger Than Fiction

By Chad Morris Well, it's been a pretty grim couple of weeks and the only conclusion I can draw is that people just flat-out love to be miserable.

Love of misery is the simplest way I can think of to explain why it seems that people consistently manage to take something good and screw it up until all involved are mired in depression, anxiety and angst.

The recent space shuttle launch is one example of this. When someone finally thinks of something good to do with plutonium - use it to power a spacecraft to explore another world - NASA suddenly becomes the target of everyone who protested the Exxon Valdez oil spill last summer and wanted to save the whales last year. I should think those same people would be happy to see the stuff put to good use and get rid of it as well.

Hell, for all we know the Venusians may live on the damn stuff.

But no, somebody has to roll along and say "Hey! Isn't that plutonium the same stuff they use in nuclear bombs?" Plutonium is bad, therefore anything with plutonium in it is bad. And so it naturally follows that we should grab our placards and Birkenstocks and charge out to Florida and chant a lot.

And what about the "kinder and gentler" administration? Has anyone noticed how every program Bush proposes is a war? I really think that's what the Republicans have been wanting all along. Good for the economy, you know. Besides, maybe we can get rid of a few of those knee-jerk, bleeding heart liberals while we're at it. Yessiree, nothing like a good war.

Unfortunately for them, and, I think, lucky for us, they've had to settle on the War on Drugs, the War on the Homeless, the War on Education, and the War on How Really Rich People Can Make More Money.

Of course, there have been those pesky skirmishes down south - but those aren't real wars, we're just paying for them. I don't think they're doing very well, either. Every year they ask for more money to keep losing. They must not listen to all the U.S. military advisors we send down there -maybe they could use a War on Education, too.

The bottom line is that Bush and Gang just can't stand the thought that someone out there is happy.

Unless, of course, they're rich, in which case they can do anything they want.

That's the only reason I can think of to explain why they can send hundreds of millions of dollars of our money to a bunch of guys in Panama who can't tie their shoes without permission from the Kennebunkport Kid and can ignore the fact that within our own borders we have one of the most tragically poverty-stricken regions in the world .

I learned the other day (in my own War on Education) about something called enabling behavior. That's when the needs of others outweigh your regard for personal survival. Yeah, I know it sounds familiar, most of the major religions in the world have built their temples and cathedrals on this same idea.

Well, the United States seems dominated by this idea.

We'd rather send money and food to just about anybody who asks than to take care of our own needs - or even admit that we have such needs.

The result? A staggering deficit, gradual takeover by foreign interests, a rampant substance abuse problem and children who can't locate their own country on a globe and who could care less.

And I guess that's how we want it since if we didn't, we'd have written to our congressman or voted for a different presidential candidate. Right?

So, enjoy it, after all you asked for it. And hey, have a nice day.

Editor, When the median age of a student population is 27, it would seem reasonable to assume that the majority of students come from full-time jobs, families, and other time-consuming relationships. If it's true that Metro is a commuter college. and the general population is more mature than other colleges and universities, then why is it so difficult to offer required courses at a convenient time for this population? I am required to take a practicum and an internship for my major. But the problem rests in the fact that neither one of these ii. offered during the summer semester. I am also on financial aid, which means that in order to keep that, I must register for a full-time course load. The other problem is that I work full time in a field very remote from my major. If I take a full-time course load during either the fall or spring semesters and continue to work, I don't have the allotted time for the extra 12 hours the practicum requires. But if it was offered in the summer semester, when full time is classified as eight hours, I

wouldn't have the same kind of problems. I would only have to take one other class with the practicum in order to keep my financial aid. And if the truth be known, I'll bet there are a lot of people out there with the same problem I have.

In talking with one of the professors today, it was suggested that I take a semester off to work and save the money I need for school. Does a person who is on financial aid have the type of job that pays well enough to do that? And if I took a semester off, I'd be on financial-aid suspension.

I even talked to the people at cooperative education, trying to find a full-time job in my major. What they offer is part-time and on-call jobs. I don't have the guts to quit my job and hope for a full-time position.

If this college is proud of the fact that the majority of the student population is nontraditional, then why can't they meet our needs?

Hard workers deserve high grades Editor,

I perceive President Thomas Brewer's comment, or should I say commitment, in keeping the working-class adult from gaining the higher education that they strive for, as nonsense. Metropolitan State College was founded on the principle of serving the working-class adult and not hindering him or her. Since when is it impossible .for someone with determination to work and pursue an education at the same time: I happen to work full time and this sorina decided to return to college, and I took a total of 19 semester hours. I still!

came out with a GPA of 3.5. I worked hard to do this and sti 11 give the attention at work that was needed and also spend quality time with my family.

I agree wholeheartedly in the comments that were made by the students of Metro those published in The Metropolitan and those expressed in the halls and in the classrooms. If President Brewer expects, or at least wants, to have only "students" attending college, then he should return to the conventional four-year college that he came from.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Student pressfreedom must be protected -:

What does freedom of the student press mean to you - the student?

Is there a difference between freedom of the press and freedom of the student press?

,.

It is my opinion that the student press is, and should remain, "free-er'' than the commercial press because an academic institution is a learning environment and the student press is an important aspect of a journalism student's education.

Freedom of the student press means that the student editor is THE person who decides that the public's right .-_ to know is more important than private sensitivities when dealing with controversial issues.

~

The public's right to know is the basis of journalism, and it is the right and the responsibility of the student press to present factual accounts of issues that affect the public.

The students who make up the editorial staff, especially the editor, are at, or should be at, a level in their education where they can make responsible decisions in regard to the standards and ethics of journalism.

-

As director of Student Publications for Metropolitan State College, I believe strongly in the student's right to have a free press. I have had many opportunities in my seven years in this position to defend that right. It has been my feeling that in many of these instances my stance has been ignored or disregarded. It has been viewed by some as unacceptable for a program administrator to deny any responsibility for what appears in the product produced by their own program.

'There hive been c1111 when student editors hive exhibited queatton1ble ludgment In rel1tton to the ethics and stand1rds of lournallsm ...'

The problems usually occur when the student editor or a member of the staff steps out of the very definite lines of responsible journalism.

In most cases I would agree with them. But in this case I am dealing with the freedom of the student press, and my influence could be construed as censorship. If I attempted to censor the student newspaper I would be violating a constitutional law that protects the freedom of the press.

But shouldn't making a mistake be part of any learn Ing environment? Should the audience pass judgment on all students involved in this publication due to an error in judgment on the part of the student editor?

There have been cases when student editors have exhibited quastionable judgment in relation to the ethics and standards of journalism, which puts me in a very uncomfortable situation.

How do I handle that? Is it censorship when I advise the student editor that his decision is in poor taste or could possibly offend the public?

A specific case happened just recently when the student editor decided to run an advice column that was intended to be humorous, but was, in fact, extremely offensive. I was offended, and I let the editor know that I was offended. But I did not tell him that he couldn't run it because that could be interpreted as censorship.

In hindsight, I think I was being a little paranoid about being accused of censorship. Because I knew that the column was offensive, I should have pointed out to the student editor that his decision to run something blatantly degrading to women was totally against the ethics and standards of journalism that he has been taught.

Fortunately, the student editor made the "right" decision all by himself, and so the educational process of the student press does work. Although some may feel that the decision, in this case, was made belatedly, it was made with no need for illegal censorship from anyone in the administration - and that's how it should be.

For one student success has come quickly Sharon Hawkins Harms The Metropolitan

MSC student JoAnn Horst sold the first magazine article she ever wrote. And for an encore the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities and Mile High Cablevision pr!? duced the first play she ever wrote.

It all began for Horst in the mid-1980s when, as the mother of two sons, Branden, 16 and Damon, 13, she was active in Boy Scout Pack 613 in Golden. As den leader, Horst was concerned that the pack meetings were dull. She had some ideas for changes.

She wrote to Scouting Magazine to inquire about putting her thoughts on paper, and to her surprise, she was hired by the Boy Scouts of America publication.

"And they paid me good money for it," she said. I just couldn't believe it - the first time out of the chute."

She titled her story "Can we please have an exciting pack meetingT' And not only did she pump new life into Boy Scout pack meetings, but Horst found her niche in life.

"I thought, 'Gee I'm really enjoying this, I want to be a writer,' " Horst said. '"That's really my goal."

As a means to that end, Horst enrolled at MSC fall semester, 1986. One of her classes was Renee Ruderman's creative writing course. From there things happened fast for Horst.

"I was so gung ho - frothing at the mouth to write. It was, you know, the right time," she said

What really pushed Horst into the writer's circle was the assignment to write a scene from a play.

Instead of just one scene, she wrote a one-act play, "Pajama Party," about four teen-age girls at a pajama party in a small Texas town in 1956. The rest of the class liked the play and gave Horst input and encouragement A good working chemistry developed.

Ruderman encouraged Horst to send the script to the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. She did, and within a few weeks Horst received a call that the Arvada Center's Young Adult Drama Club wanted to do the play that summer ( 1987).

"It seemed like everything wasjust falling into place so quickly; it was really phenomenal," she said.

"I'd never written a play before. I'd never even tried," she said. "I just had a spurt of energy in Renee's class that fall."

At the suggestion of English Professor Bob Pugel, Horst sent the ''Pajama Party" script to Mile High Cablevision. It was run on Mile High's community-~ channel in September of 1988.

Horst was involved in wardrobe and casting of both the Arvada Center and the Mile High productions. She insisted on casting local teen-age girls in the play to project the innocence, "that flavor of youth."

In addition to the play, Horst wrote two pri7.e-winning short stories in that same class. "Open Window'' - about a granddaughter who terrorii.es her invalid grandmother - won fourth place in the 1988

National Writers Club short-story contest .

And ''Twenty-five Cents" won second place in a contest sponsored by the Denver Metro chapter of the National Writers Club.

But juggling so many balls in the air at the same time - wife, mother, student and writer - has put her in a dilemma.

Horst said she would like to be "more of a full-time mother. Instead, I'm trying to be a full-time student and a writer on the side," she said. "It's tough."

Horst said her husband is an ardent supporter of her finishing her education and of her writing. And he's not immune to doing mundane tasks such as dishes and laundry. They've been married 20 years.

Horst said her son Branden will be ready for college at the end of the 1~91 school year.

"And here I am trying to get through the tail end of college," she said, adding that she will graduate at the end ~f the summer semester.

She's majoring in English with a writing emphasis and a major in journalism.

During the past summer, Horst has had journalism exposure with a couple of stories in the Golden Transcript. At least one piece rated the front page.

As for after graduation, she mentioned an unfinished novel stuffed in a drawer somewhere, and she also talked about writing romance novels.

She said she'll use her own name on any romance novel that turm out good.

But if they aren't good, she said, "I'll hide under a pseudonym."

Boyles 'just says no' David 0. Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

Peter Boyles, 46, is painfully aware of the agony of alcohol and drug addiction. He experienced it firsthand.

In a speech long on personal horror stories, but short on concrete solutions, the sometimes controversial veteran of the Denver radio scene said education is the key to awareness.

The Monday, Oct. 16, speech in the Student Union was part of Alcohol Awareness Week. Boyles, a 1973 MSC graduate, warmed immediately to the gathering of between 25 and 30 students and faculty members.

"I am a recovering alcoholic, and I am an alcoholic," Boyles said. "The day they throw the shovelful of dirt in my face I'll be an alcoholic and a drug addict."

Boyles painted a bleak picture of substance abuse using himself as a profile. He started with his youth in Verona, PIL, and described a troubled family life. His grand· father died drunk in an alley and his family, as a whole, was dysfunctional.

After serving in Vietnam, Boyles returned to Denver, where he attended MSC from 1969 to 1973. From there he launched a successful career in broadcasting, but he returned to MSC in 1979 as a distinguished alumnus.

"In 1979 I gave the commencement exercise. And the evening I gave the commencement exercise I was still addicted to narcoti~ and still a practicing alcoholic," he said.

Boyles has hosted talk shows on KOA and KHOW and is now the host of the morning show on K.BX. He has been in radio for 15 years and only the last four years have been sober ones.

"This is a true junkie story," he said, discussing his stint at KOA. "I needed a new , assistant producer and this woman came in

and she said, 'I'd like to apply for a job as a producer.' And we went through this whole _, thing and I said, 'Tell me about your life.'

And she said, 'Well, my husband is a drug salesman for Libby.' I hired her."

The reasons for the kind ofaddictions that dictate a person's life in.such a manner are ._ too complex to nail down, -Boyles said, but for him it was a matter of ''beating down the brain spiders."

Those "spiders" are the stress and every· day pitfalls in life that affect us all.

"H you feel stressed out because of the gig, because of school or something like that, the .., world is full of it. It's not going to go away because you got drunk," he said.

Boyles, offering some substitutes for dealing with stress, said some alternatives are "exercise, finding out what stresses you're dealing with, verbal communication."

He said that the root of many of our greatest social disorders is substance abuse, pointing to the many incidents of violence; both domestic and otherwise, that are alcohol and drug related. _"H we get well as a country, we'll quit hating each other," he said. "We're afraid of each other."

But Boyles spoke mainly in the abstract when discussing some of the ways we can "get well" as a country.

'The war on drugs is going to be won by education," he said. "It's not going to be won by going in and kicking the door down on somebody and sticking a gun to their head . and dragging them out on the street" He advocates education beginning before kindergarten, drug testing in the workplace and, ultimately, prohibition. · "We need the drug tests. We need the alcohol tests," he said, not elaborating. He went on to voice his supwrt of a renewal of prohibition.

"We see it (prohibition) didn't work," he said, "because it didn't work with education."

A major problem in our country, Boyles said, is irresponsible advertising on the part of the alcohol industry.

"We go along in life and sell this stuff to _ the next generation," he said. Ironically, Anheuser-Busch Inc. was one of the sponsors of Alcohol Awareness Week.

Ultimately, though, the respomibility starts on an individual basis and, he said, we all need to take a closer look at ourselves.

Cultural differences may also be a force to be reckoned with. Only about 30 percent of the Japanese will be able to understand the English, although the play is widely studied in Japan.

He is Paul Jefferson, stage manager for OCfC's production of Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms." The Institute for Dramatic Arts (DARTS) in Tokyo has invited DCTC to perform "Desire" in Japan from Nov. 9 to Nov. 30.

Every two years, DARTS selects the best American theater companies to bring American works to Japan. Very popular in Japan, "Desire" is the play that DARTS has requested from ocrc.

The road to Tokyo will not be an easy one. "(The set) had to be designed in order to break down to a particular si7.e of airline freight aates. It's hem a logistical nightmare," Jefferson said.

UCO opens theatre seasOn with a winner nouncing that a government inspector is coming to town and the mistaken identification ofK.hlestakov as the inspector. This sets the stage for outwitting, back stabbing and false fronts by all in the production. This is part of the surprise and the illusion of the production. H you've ever played pass-it-on as a child, you might understand what I mean. By the time the rumor gets passed along throughout the town, all of its citizens believe that Khlestakov is the inspector.

The town's leaders are as follows: Anton Antonovich, the mayor (Dennis Beck); Lyapkin-Tyapkin, the judge (Erik Rieger); Luka Lukich Khlopov, director of education (Petra Ulrych) and Artemy Filippovich Zemlyanika, charities' director (Christopher Lix). Try saying those names five times fast.

All of the actors do a convincing job in their parts, especially Ulrych, who plays the part of a man. She is both talented and humorous as the over-tipsy director of education.

...__ Kirt Ace Begler The Metropolitan

"'The Government Inspector" opens UCD's theatre season with fun, surprise and illusion.

-'..

The production, which opened Thursday, Oct 12, is an adaptation by Peter Revy of a masterwork by Russian wit Nikolai Gogol.

It is a splendid two-act production set in a rural Russian village during the 1830s.

As Russian melodies play in the back.... · ground, the lights come up on a cast anchored by the town's four leaders and one outsider. The audience first gets a glimpse of the outsider, Ivan Alexandrovich K.hlestakov (Matt Cohen) and bis sidekick, Osip (Erik L. Stor). Both do an exceptional job with their , parts, especially Cohen who is truly the whining, spoiled, conniving man K.hlestakov is supposed to be. Cohen gives both a compelling and comedic performance throughout the play.

The storyline is set around a letter an-

.

I was also impressed by Beck in the role of the mayor. He gives such an overwhelming

performance the part becomes truly unforgettable. He really sets the crowd rolling when he makes bis costume change with the back missing. Not until the rest of the leaders make their changes does the audience realiu that the costumes are made that way. Let's just say that the costumes are rather revealing of both the actors' posteriors and the false fronts they are wearing.

However, Rieger and Lix complete the production with their characters. Rieger does a splendid job with bis scrunched-up facial expressions, while Lix in a femme style tries to prove that he is better than anyone else. The pity is he actually believes it himse~ .

The supporting cast is a refreshing group.

It must be said, however, that Angie Lee, Daniel "Dano" Guth and Michael Armstrong are the shimmering lights of the background. Lee is the mayor's wife and is the loudest nagging member of the cast She deserves a hand for her overbearingn~. As for Guth and Armstrong, who play Peter lvanovich Bobchinsky and Peter lvanovich

Dobchinsky, the tweedledee and tweedledum of the production, their physical humor brightens the stage.

Overall, the production is the only one in town where everyone is in the front row.

The seating is arranged in a circular fashion and the production can be seen clearly by all.

There is both an upper level and a lower level. One can choose from a bird's eye view (the upper section), an in-the-middle-of-theaction seat (right next to the stage) and a background seat (one that encircles the stage).

So, for great seating, wonderful acting and laughs that will have you bending over, "The Government Inspector" is the production you don't want to miss. o 1

Note: The Government Inspector" plays Thursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. through OcL 28 with a special stutknJ matinee on OcL 27 at 10:30 a.m. The UCD theater is in the Arts Building Room 278. For information call 556-2306.

Mass confusion mars festival flick lneke Caycedo The Metropolitan

A lone man rides through a choking cloud of dust, bis eyes squinted against the dust and the brigbtn~ of the sun, bis motorcycle makes a soft putt ... putt ... putting noise on the deserted road.

As he approaches, it becomes apparent that the man is a priest, his white robe stiff with dust.

The opening to Filipino director Lino Brocka's film "Ora Pro Nobis," [fight for us1 looks promising.

As the camera sweeps the green dustcovered countryside of the Philippines, the

foreign priest's presence in the middle of nowhere is curious.

But from there it descends into a morass of confusion.

Brocka attempts to tell the story of the rise of military and civilian violations of civil rights after the fall of President Ferdinand Marcos.

In this fictional account, the principal character is an ex-priest, Jimmy Cordero, who was imprisoned under the Marcos regime for being a political activist.

Brocka leaves a lot of unanswered questions, beginning with bis principal character - a weakness that plagues the entire movie.

SPORTS take second place at home

~Spikers

Annette Lavina The Metropolitan

The MSC's women's volleyball team placed second in the 10th annual ·MSc invitational volleyball tournament last weekend Central Missouri State University finished first in the tournament.

"I was pleased with performance of the team this weekend," Head Coach Joan Tamblin said.

In the tournament, Metro defeated Northwest~uri State 15-6, 15-4, 15-6; Eastern New Mexico State 15-2, 13-15, 15-4, 15-4; Washburn University(Kan.) 15-2, 15-0, 153; and nationally ranked Angelo State (Tex.) 15-2, 15-3, 15-12.

"A good win for us was against Angelo State. We won in three games, and Angelo is highly ranked," Tamblin said.

7-15 and the Championship game against CMSU 15-7, 15-11, 16-14.

Although.Metro lost against West Texas State before entering the championship, Tamblin felt that individually Metro was better, but as a unit WTS played better.

"What this weekend showed us is what we need to work on to get better," Tamblin said. ''We had enough good matches that we can figure that out."

Coach Tamblin is happy with the team's defense, and said that the team needs to work on the offense and hitting.

Individual team players that continue to do well are: senior setter Sue Gillette and junior outside bitter Becky Kofoed, who were both named to the all-tournament team. This was the fourth tournament this season that both have made the all-tournament team.

Tamblin said that junior Chris Hines bad an extremely good weekend and is really starting to come into her own.

Tuesday night the team was at home again, with the United States Air Force Academy paying a visit. This was a Continental Divide Conference match, and MSC came out the winner. MSC defeated USAF 15-6, 19-17, 15-12.

"I was kind of surprised at the win. We thought that it was going to be tough competition, but we came out strong," Tamblin said.

As of Tuesday night, MSC's record is 6-1 in the CDC and 27-5 overall. The USAF is 6-4 and sixth-ranked Regis leads the CDC 0 5-0.

He never reveals why Cordero, played by Phillip Salvador, left the priesthood. Although it becomes apparent later on that chastity might have been a reason when an old girlfriend from his revolutionary days presents him with a son.

Nor does Salvador play Cordero as a particularly driven character. He seems to be drawn along by circumstances, rather than acting on them. It is bard to believe him in the role of a revolutionary.

The film focuses, or tries to focus, on the seemingly close relationsfllp between the terrorist group Oro Pro Nobis and the military police.

The problem is that it is bard to establish who these vigilantes are and under what guise they are operating. Though Brocka suggests a strong link to the military, it is bard to tell who is making the decisions.

You are never sure whether the villagers are Communists or are just being called Communists. And it isn't quite clear whether the vigilantes are an arm of the military specifically formed to stop Communist insurgence or if they just appeared to wreak havoc.

• Perhaps to Filipinos who have lived in the midst of this terror for a number of years and are familiar with the various factions, explanation is not necessary, but without it a broader audience would find the film difficult to grasp.

All systems include: IBM Mouse, Display, DOS 4.0, MiCroSoft Windows, HOC Windows Express_ Software is loaded and ready to go!

Brocka bas a promising director's eye. His

use of the camera at times is striking. For example, in one scene during a television interview he makes the screen the television, and the viewers feel as if they are indeed watching television, rather than watching others react to watching the screen.

His eye for the landscape is the eye of someone who truly loves his country. Brocka's camera flows through the Filipino countryside as if it were part of it, making the viewer feel at home in an alien land.

Unfortunately the acting is rather stilted, from Salvador's lackluster rebel to the vigilante.' stock pc>rtrayal of the villains. Cordero's wife, played weepily by Tina Bonnevie is supposed to be a human-ri~ts activist, but she spends more time being "mellow-dramatic" than saving lives, as she lounges around her rich father's home.

One notable performance is given by Gina Alajar, who plays &per, the mother of Cordero's illegitimate s0n. She gives &per a quiet strength born of a woman who bas faced many sorrows. &per is emotional, but not over-emotional, strong, but not stupid For fans ofBrocka's work, this might be a film worth seeing. For others, the choice is yours. One suggestion: read up on recent Philippine history.

The film is subtitled, so don't worry about having to make heads or tails of the combination of Pilipino, English and French. o
