Student Senators are asking where $154,000 went.

A majority of senators co-sponsored a resolution to ask Metropolitan State College to audit the Colorado Public Interest Research Group.

CoPIRG has collected a $3 fee at registration from students enrolled at Metro who have not chosen to waive the fee. The fees total $154,523, according to the MSC Busin~ Office.

"It's apparent that the money goes straight off campus," Sen. Kevin Miller said. "It would be interesting to find out just bow much ever makes it back."

"An audit is as unnecessary as a resolution," said Angie Keough, the local chairwoman of CoPIRG. "We already have an · auditor ... they asked us for information and WC are already giving it to them."

At the Wednesday, Oct. 25, Student

Senate meeting, Miller, who wrote the resolution, asked CoPIRG boardmember Robyn Swartz for a budget breakdown of CoPIRG's finances. Swartz said the money wmttothestateoffiCe,andshewasn'tsurebow the money was spent Jon Goldin, the CoPIRG organiz.er at MSC, gave senators an income tax return from 1987-88 on Monday, Nov. 6.

"It's a nice pie chart," Miller joked Monday, holding up a chart Goldin included along with the tax return. "But I still want to know where the money is going. This doesn't include money they got from Metro."

"This (tax return) is superficial," Sen. Anthony Vander Horst said. 1bc idea is to keepusquietWeaskedforsomcthing,they gave us something. It's a cover-up."

About 37 percent of the fees collected went back to each campus in the past, said Goldin. CoPIRG has chapters at UNC, CSU and USC. "I don't know where the Student Senate

got the idea students are not in control ot the money," said Keough. "If I want to spend $2,000 on a recycling guide, all I have to do is make a propootl to the [CoPIRG] state board, and it is up to them to decide."

But Alan Rosen, who sat on the local CoPIRG board last year, said it was difficult for students to get money from the state office. "Very little was spent on campus last year. It's not easy to get money for projects on the local level. I had to pay for all my materials for agendas and posterboards." ''Thc(CoPIRG)organizer(RuthAponte) was at every meeting and took control of it They wanted me to do publicity, but my group wanted to work on recycling on campus. I got pressured several times and gotalotofcriticism,"saidRosen,wholeda recycling group.

"I was involved in CoPIRG last year," said Miller. "Every time I brought up new ideas, they would ignore my ideas that dealt with campus issues."

The state board is made up of students

.

trom tne tour coueges tnat nave CoPIRG chapters. Metro has seven seats on the board . based on the amount of money CoPIRG raised from the school. Metro rUed the most CoPIRG funding in the state. But only three Metro students sit on the board now.

There are five empty seats on the local b o a rd , w b i ch ma k es de c i s i on s on campus.

"I agree in principle with what CoPIRG stands for, but in my opinion they were not quite truthful or honest with the students when they told them where their money would be going to when they were campaigning to have the referendum ~" Sen. Michael Green said. "ldon'tthinkthatstudentsshouldhaveto pay for an outside organization. I feel students may be paying for people's salaries who are not working for the students, or their interests," Miller said.

Students will vote again in spring 1991 to have a chapter of CoPIRG at MSC. o

.

The Board of Trustees of the State Colleges granted him tenure in the marketing department on the basis of his teaching experience and his previous tenure at the City University of New York, Elam said.

His contract as president for the State Colleges bas just been renewed.

There are a number of problems with the way the tenure was granted and with the tenure itself, said Dr. Eli7.abeth Friot, president of the Faculty Senate.

"The motion by which they did it (granted tenure) was faulty," Friot said, explaining that the motion only mentions rank -whether be should be a professor, associate professor, etc. - and does not mention tenure.

Elam acknowledges that the board did "muff' the process. He added that there were more important items on the agenda that day, and the subject of his tenure

was handled sloppily.

The motion will be set straight at a later date, he said.

The problem, Friot said, is that the board did not follow the tenure procedure in the trustees' handbook, which requires two readings of the motion and the notification of the faculty.

Instead, she said, it was handled as a matter of policy, and neither the administration nor the marketing department was notified of the action.

It was handled that way, Elam said, because there was no precedent for giving the system president tenure, it was something new.

Friot said that it was just a matter of courtesy to notify people.

"We did it poorly," Elam said, referring to the process and the communication.

But the process was a legitimate executive decision by the board that did not involve the Faculty Senate at all. be added.

The other implications of this, Friot said, is that there are a limited number of tenured positions available in a department, and if they are taken up by non-teacl>ing administrators other teachers may be pushed out.

Friot said the fact that Elam's tenure was slipped in at the last minute as an addendum to the meeting was an added concern since no one was given the opportunity to review Elam's credentials.

She added that the tenure criteria at Metro have a strong emphasis on teaching.

"He (Elam) bas neither been teaching nor working in the field (marketing) for a long time," Friot said, adding that no one had a measure of his skills, if be cb<l'lC to return to teaching.

Elam quipped that his most recent book is newer than the textbook currently being used in the marketing department.

But, he said, on a more serious note, that be felt it important that the presidents of the colleges as well as the president of the State Colleges (known as the System) were allowed to receive tenure, if they qualified.

"The Board of Trustees bas long had a policy of granting tenure to (college) presidents," Elam said MSC President Thomas Brewer bas tenure in the history departmcnt.

The board felt that courtesy should be extended to the system president as well

Administrators, in large part receive higher salaries than professors because of a lack of job security which tenure provides, Friot said "It seems to me that in the current situation of giving the administrators tenure, they're having their cake and eating it too," she said.

RegardingFriot'scomment Elam said that was really reaching, that · his was a unique case. Only a few administrators are given tenure and those paritions in no wayjeopard.i1.e the departments.

Dr. Claire Sullivan, dean of the school of business, said she bas no problem with Elam's tenure.

"I think it's a wonderful idea," she said.

"Tenure is something that is earned, and be bas certainly earned it," she added, saying that this was a non-issue and that if the Faculty Senate is concerning itself with this, they don't have enough to do.

As to the matter of being notified, Sullivan said she did not know whether the department was or was not notified since there was an interim dean at the time who is now on medical leave.

"I think we just had a little miscommunication there," Brewer said. "I certainly didn't lose any sleep over it" a

Smith remembered by friends Chad Morrl I The Metropolitan Students, faculty and members of the Auraria Black Student Alliance gathered on the mezzanine level of the Student Union at noon on Nov. 3 to remember CCD student Cameron Smith exactly one year after his death.

Smith was shot and killed by suspected members of the Crips gang because be was wearing a red hat - the color of a rival gang, lhe Bloods.

Smith, however, was not a gang member.

"This is what be would want," Lisa Moore, a BSA member, said

to the predominantly black crowd of about 50. "He was a high achiever. He once said: 'HI could help someone in any way I can, I would make my family proud.' " Among the speakers at the memorial was Michael Simmons, director of the Co~on on Youth, who told the crowd that people need to work together to fight gangs. "ff you want to impact gangs,"

he said, "then steps need to be taken. We need to work as a team, if not we will fail.

"Cameron Smith opened the door, to show us our lives will not be taken over by drugs and gangs."

Smith was a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School and a

freshman at CCD when be was killed riding his bike home from his job at McDonalds.

"He was my friend and it hurts that it's been a year since rve talked to him," said Kim Edwards, a friend and fellow BSA member.

"We should applaud him. He went down fighting - they shot him five times, they had to kill him."

Lisa Calderon, BSA's president, said she remembered watching the evening news that night and seeing his bike and cap lying on the ground and thinking that it was said that "it was one of them." It wasn't until she got to school the next day, that she found out "it was one of us."

"We must understand gangs," she said, "We need to stop distinctions between us and them."

She told the crowd that they need to ask themselves what they were doing about gangs. "ff [the answer is] nothing, then you realii.c something," she said.

"As Afro-Americans, we need to eliminate the self-bate among us."

Dean Askew said he started

Street Smart, a group that works withgangs becauseofSmith. "You all have a chance to fight," be said

About 60 P•PI• e1m1 to Camaron Smith'a m1morlal 11rvlc1 Friday, Nov. S:

Askewcitedareoentstudywbicb stated that by the year 2000, 70 percent of all black males would be either dead, in jail, on drugs or in gangs, to stress the need for direct action against gangs and drugs.

"'Camen:nsaidTmncxa~rmntw,

but I will fight.' "

After Askew finished with a poem be wrote for Smith, members of the BSA brought out a bouquet which they would deliver to Smith's family later that day.

The crowd then joined hands and bowed their heads in a moment of silence.

Askew closed the ceremony with a quote from Martin Luther King: "We can walk to the mountaintop together, or I can fall by myself." a

Astronaut's interest, concern orbit world. ~

lneke Caycedo The Metropolitan

"Three ... two ... one ... fire. We have liftoff."

These are the wor~ that sparked the imagination of a generation of Americans and symboliud the United States' advent into space.

For Scott Carpenter, one of the seven original Mercury astronauts who pioneered that venture, the memories are still vivid.

"I remember the mysteries that we were about to solve," Carpenter said At 64 he is still the image of the athletic, · eager astronaut who made history on May 24, 1962.

That day he became the second American to orbit the earth, following John Glenn.

Carpenter's only space Oight lasted four hours and 56 minutes and caused some heart-stopping moments.

He had used up almost all of his fuel maneuvering his capsule to see his surroundings and to investigate the cause of John Glenn's mysterious fireOies (they turned out to be ice crystals coming from the capsule).

When he began his re-entry, officials on the ground thought they might have lost him.

The nation's heart stopped when newscaster Walter Cronkite announced that he was afraid America "had lost an astronaut" "I remember being concerned," Carpenter said as he described his reentry, but, he said, he felt that NASA officials were overreacting to the situation.

Carpenter with his elegant tum of phrase and his philosophical view of man in space was known as "the poet" of the seven. To him the mission was much more than successfully launching a man into space.

The others, Leroy Cooper, Glenn, Virgil Grissom, Walter Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton were more interested in the exercise of getting the capsule into space, Carpenter said "I did take a different view than many on its impact on human affairs, rather than its impact on science and technology and its benefit to both," he said.

Today Carpenter still views space exploration with the same wonder. Man has not begun to reap the benefits that space travel offers, he said. The pcmibility for man to learn more about himself and his planet lies in space.

"We are in the beginning phases of emigrating from our home planet," he said, adding that he believed there would be colonies on the Moon and Mars by the middle of the 21st century.

It is a feat that will require cooperation rather than competition among countries, Carpenter said.

• When the space program first started, the Soviet Union and the United States were in

stiff competition with each other, he said.

They didn't reveal many secrets.

Today there is much more cooperation. "[But] in many ways the Soviets have taken a commanding lead," Carpenter said They have maintained a continuous manned presence in space that the United States has not been able to duplicate.

Carpenter views his fame as a respombility - one with advantages and disadvantages.

"Anonymity is a precious thing," he said.

"You don't realire how important it is until you've lost it," adding that despite a lack of privacy at times, he wouldn't give up his responsibility.

What does he think of being a pioneer?

"It is satisfying to me to know that I have had a chance to bring back to the family of man some new truths."

It was a great feeling to be a part of a quantum leap of speed and distance, he said.

After the space program he moved to the ocean, eager to conquer its depths not only because of the challenge it presented, but because of his fear.

"I had a fear of the deep ocean," he said, adding that he had learned at a young age that to overcome fear he had to face it.

So to conquer that fear he joined the Navy's SeaLab project in 1968 and was one of a group of men that spent 30 days living on the ocean floor 200 feet down.

Although he is now retired and living in Vail, Colo., Carpenter still has an active interest in the future of man.

He talked about his current interest in the environment and the severe damage that man is doing to it He is convinced that the planet carinot .. support the current numbers of people. He points to incidences like the droughts in Africa as examples of the planet's rebellion.

"We will be existing in far fewer numbers in the future," he said Not because of war, but because the environment will not be able handle more people.

Something has to be done, Carpenter said, and we have to do it o

Metro granted extension on lawsuit Joachim Ring The Metropolitan

Metropolitan State College has been granted an extension of time by the U.S. District Court in Denver to respond to a lawsuit charging the institution with age discrimination.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court on

Sept. 27 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and alleges that Marguerite Shackelford was forced into early retirement on Aug. 31, 1987 by MSC. The State Attorney General's office was unable to meet with MSC and discuss the allegations contained in the lawsuit and requested more_time to respond. .

The motion filed by the Attorney General's

office indicates that, in its opinion, the complaint appears to contain legal claims for which a motion to dismiss may be the appropriate response.

The extension granted by the Court requires a response by Nov. 13, 1989. That date is 20 days from the orginal date of response, Oct. 23, 1989.

Shackelford's case was referred to a private attorney, Jim Vaughters, by the EEOC.

Vaughters declined to comment about the case on behalf of him and his client saying that "the other side may misconstrue any sta~ ments I may make." He added that it is safer to "handle the case in the courtroom, not in the press."

Officials from the Equal Opportunity Office at Metro declined to discuss the case.

Shackelford also declined comment while the case is in the courts. o

PEOPLE Writers Lab conference superlative C.D. Turner Features Editor

Oh, sure, it was billed as a unique conference for playwrights, poets and fiction writers presented by Writers Lab - "The Fire, The Fight, The Story." But who in his right mind wants to get up and actually be in the North Classroom at 8:30? Ona Saturday, no less.

About 100 people on Nov. 4.

They poured in - the published and the yet-to-be published. Students, alumni, friends and strangers came from all over the metropolitan area. And they came from as far away as Woodland Park, Fort Collins,

November 10, 1989

Watkins and Boulder.

They came to be with other writers.

And anyone paying attention lately would know that the two-year-old theater group Writers Lab does things right. Co-founders Coleen Hubbard and her husband MSC English professor Larry Bograd have a habit of delivering what they promise. Saturday was no exception.

Hubbard, who used to read 1,000 scripts a year as literary manager for the Denver Center Theatre Company, and Bograd, successful author and playwright, agree that the single most important difference between a good play and a poor play is the poor play's absence of conflict Writer, storyteller and Jungian psychoanalyst C1aris.sa Pinkola Estes, the first speaker, echoed that belief.

"It helps if your life is all m~ up," Estes said. "A good, decent life is not good for your writing. It helps to have angst and anger in your life. As a writer and a shrink, I know."

She str~ that writers need three things in order to write: angst for conflict, endurance to make the descent into the dimly lit unconscious and duende, "a profound something."

"Duende is like the muse, the fire," she said. "I don't know what. When you have duende you know. You feel it. Like sex -once you have it, you know when you don't have it. It leaves you a little sad."

Estes said duende is like the wind coming

through the leaves; you can't see it. It's what makes you jump up in the middle of the night to write a poem, and the pencil breaks and you don't care. It's like a baby being born head first, and the rest of the body slides out. It's singing and dancing and letting things overflow.

Estes has no patience for people who say writing should not be autobiographical.

When writing is not autobiographical you get things like, "the sun looks like a broken egg yolk."

"I've heard that 20 million times," Estes said. "How about this political tourist writing? And you know they've never been there. Better to write about how I wish I could be there, but kids are hanging around my legs, and I have this millstone around my neck called a job."

She told a story about a young Chinese wife. She told a story about an old Mexican woman. She told the ancient Greek myth about Demeter and Persephone. And in the process, she told women about themselves.

The second speaker was critic, teacher and award-winning poet Ray Gonzales, who read the works of poets from around the world.

Gonzales urged writers to make imagery their foundation when writing because today's is a wually oriented society. He advocates the poetry of witness.

"Good keen observation is like meditation," he said. "Open your perceptions to

good ideas and things. Keep a journal of your own experiences, what you've seen. Be open to daily life. Be a witness."

Gonzales said writers need duende and commitment . and that the most powerful poems are the ones where the poet lets go and reveals the most about himself or herseff.

The third speaker, Susan L. Ha7Jlleus, is a licensed psychologist with a doctorate and a private practice in Denver. She discussed case histories (names changed to protect the troubled) of two of her clients who had difficulty resolving the anger and conflict in their lives.

Through discwsion and audience participation, problems with anger and conflict could be seen as a delicate mobile dancing, twisting and shifting in the air representing the individual's world: inside the person, within the family, with friends, at work, in society as a whole.

A special treat was reserved for the final hour of the all-too-short day. Members of the "Playback: Theatre West," an improvisational group, delivered, through performance, emotional metaphors, feelings, dilemmas, memories and memories altered to have better outcomes.

Hubbard and Bograd said after the smash-hit conference that a special thanks should be given to Harry Gianncschi, vice president for institutional advancement, and Larry Johnson, dean of letters, arts and

o

~ences.

Fit To Be Tied

By John C. Roper I've been recently appointed as the spokesman for all males on the planet to explain to all the females on the planet why we do some of the things that we do.

Through extensive research (i.e., I asked some of the women at work), I have unearthed several things that men do that really irritate women.

"Hey, John," they ask, "why is it that men seem to care little about romance but they'll devote their every waking hour to football?"

Simple. Generally, men, although they won't readily admit it, would actually like to do romantic things for a woman. Flowers, candy, a dimly lit room, a bottle of Dom Perignon and some soft music are all things men enjoy as much as, if not more than, women. But once they start doing these things, a little-known hormone called the sportbonding hormone prevents them from continuing with these romantic interludes.

This hormone, known by only a select few in the scientific community, is secreted by the hyperbeerboxingglove gland, which in turn takes over the romance gland, also known as the hyperbabyiwantyourlovin

Nowmber 10, 1989

LETTERS

Senator evaluates Senate Editor: I would like to thank John Roper for his column on Student Government and our president, Dr. Brewer.

Student Government has never addressed any issue since I have been a student at MSC (the last two years.)

The powers that be have tried to change the name of Metro State so many times I've lost track. Every time the alumni and student body have said "no way," so this time they tried another method. Somebody said "I know, let's ask the Student Government for their OK, everyone knows they couldn't make a decision based on student opinion if they tried. If we get President Martin to put it forward, they will never guess what is really going on."

In a matter of two minutes the administration won a battle they had been trying to win for years and the students were none the wiser.

The problem is that no one holds Student Government responsible for its actions. Everyone thinks it's a joke, and they're right. The sad part is that Student Government could be doing a lot of great things for the college. We aren't all powerful, but we represent (supposedly) over 17,000 students and what they want.

Well, maybe it's time to hold our representatives responsible for their actions.

I am a student senator this year and have been disgusted with the whole business. Students have asked for actions to be taken to address the problem of

racism on this campus, and, except for one event during Campus Safety Week, little has been done, except to add fuel to the fire. This is not the only issue Student Government must start addressing for its constituents. I hope ASMSC will get the hint from Roper's column. It is time to wake up and listen to the students. Not all MSC students are apathetic. More are just sick of hearing about personal problems being fought in an open arena taking up their time. I challenge the Student Senate to complete one project for students by the end of the semester to prove they are worthy of student body recognition . I am proposing a resolution that will force the Senate to address the student body and find out what's on their priority list.

The next step is to take action on the number one issue the students want dealt with.

The time has come to put up or shut up. It is my opinion that if this year's Student Government is unable to produce significant results for the students, then the organization should be dissolved and a new system formulated to act for the students. I hope this will not be necessary. I believe there are senators who are as tired of the B.S. as I am, and are going to make the difference. I hope we can earn the student's trust and make good things happen for MSC today and into the future.

..

PUNCH!!!! KICK!!!!!

Hyperbabyiwantyourlovin gland: AAAAHHHHR RRGGGHHHhhh!!!!

Guy to girlfriend : "Hey, whoa!! I think the big game's on tonight!" (Scampers out the door to fulfill his sport bonding needs.)

So you see, men can 't help it. I mean, who can fight with hormones?

"John, why is it that men, when things start getting serious, are so afraid of the word 'commitment'?"

A very good question, indeed. This can be explained by the very simple phenomenon called the Mac Davis Syndrome.

You see, during the mid-70s, the song "Baby, Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" was played over and over and over and over again on the radio. This in turn brainwashed men into taking Mac Davis as a way of life. Then the most crucial element came into play - the song triggered the hyperigottabefreeigottabeme gland which was previously thought to be lost to evolution. This gland secretes a hormone similar to the sportbonding hormone called the bachelor-runaway hormone which causes a misfire in the brain's neurons and cancels out the word 'commitment.' Once again, hormones are not easily defeated.

"Hey, John, why do men forget to call when they say they're going to?"

The answer to this is very complex, but it involves genetics. During the Pleistocene Era, when man was first thought to appear, the late great Thag Russell was calling out to his mate, Oompalunga, when a large tyrannosaurus lopped off his head. Upon seeing this, the other tribesmen decided never to risk such an ugly ending to their lives. A secret society was formed by the tribesmen which involved many rituals and a lot of drink. The result? Through several centuries of this practice, a gene called the Thagatomic gene, was created in men to prevent such an occurrence from happening again.

It's not unlike a wild animal's fear of fire - they just can't help it.

"Wait a minute, John, what about the way men always leave the toilet seat up?"

Simple. We forget.

Roper~said

it

Editor, Let's give John C. Roper an award for saying something publicly that no one else was willing to say. In the Oct. 27, 1989 issue of The Metropolitan , Mr. Roper said, "let's stop worrying about names and start improving our education." Amen, amen, amen. Does anyone know why (this time) MSC is being asked to change its name? Could it be that the powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, allowed Mesa College to change their name to Mesa State College, and then suddenly realized that now there are two MSC's in the state of Colorado (or do I mean the state of confusion)? Never mind that Metro has been MSC for 20-something years.

Forget about the fact that no one has publicized the amount of money it will cost to do such a thing. And speaking of money, who is going to pick up the bill, Tom Brewer, Tex Elam? I think not. The bill will eventually roll around to the students at MSC (or do I mean MDSC, or DMSC, or MSCD?) .

Did anyone bother to ask students whether or not they would support a name change? The Student Senate didn't. Tom Brewer didn't. If, as A. Scott Gassman in the Oct. 27, 1989 issue of The Metropolitan claims, Tom Brewer is so interested in the quality of education here at MSC, why unnecessarily spend money on an unnecessary name change? Put MSC on the map by necessarily spending money on things like (heaven forbid) the education itself. Oh my God, what a concept. Get your head in the game, MSC President Tom Brewer. AS MSC Senate, do something that counts.

Give me the opportunity for a quality education. Spend that money on obtaining and retaining quality professors. Concentrate on providing MSC students with a degree that will last a lifetime, one that allows us to contribute to our global society. Then, and only then will MSC have an identity, regardless of what you call it.

Cartoon sensationalized Evergreen High racism Editor,

After reviewing the Oct. 27, 1989 issue of The Metropolitan, I was deeply hurt by the drawing which .. portrayed a black student/teacher leaving Evergreen High School.

I'm a 1985 graduate of Evergreen High and I think the issue of discrimination at EHS should be looked at from another perspective. When I was a junior, we had a student-exchange program with Montbello High -r School (a predominantly black school), which allowed · students to visit each other's schools for a day and it was very successful. The media ate it up. Does the

media remember this now? No. When I was a senior our class elected a black president. He was elected because of his abilities - not his color. Is there any mention of this? No. My argument with Shannon Morris' drawing is that it's unfair. It's unfair because the media has blown these two separate incidents totally out of proportion.

The first incident, the leaving of the three black student athletes claiming to have been harassed, was j_ust a cover up of the truth. The truth is that the football team has had a dismal season and the parents wanted their kids to receive scholarships. However it's tough to get a scholarship on a losing team unless you're a stand-out player.

The second incident, the writing of a note which had a picture of a burning cross and a message at the bottom that said something like, "Go home, no one wants you here," was left on the desk of the only black teacher at EHS. The teacher asked for and received a transfer. I feel this teacher over-reacted. He did exactly what they wanted him to do. Personally I would like to find the little bastards who did this and string 'em up!

The real losers of this whole mess are the present and alumni students and the community of Evergreen.

Kinko's appreciates the criticism · Editor, I manage the Kinko's Copy Center adjacent to campus that was the subject of an editorial on Oct. 27, 1989. I would like to start by apologizing to Lee Shores for being put through the runaround on course packets. __ His editorial will not go unaddressed in store operations.

- The professor publishing rush of fall 1989 was (to say the least) a humbling experience ... it was also my first. I made some mistakes; mistakes that I have learned from. I appreciate Lee Shores' editorial as it gives me an opportunity to learn and improve customer service.

There are major changes that will be in place by

--

spring 1990. These include a complete remodel of the store and an addition of 1,500 square feet. We will have additional staffing and training, as well as new systems in place for more efficient production and availability of class materials.

However, some things may not change. Such as copyright permissions· (these take time and some course packets may be delayed - we have no control over this) . By law, anyone who wishes to copy protected material must first obtain permission (in writing) and, in some cases, pay a royalty. Much of the material that professors bring us is protected under copyright laws.

Another thing that will remain is the line to get

material, just like at the bookstore. But, unlike the bookstore, we are open 24 hours, seven days a week and material can be picked up anytime. I will do my very best to make the long lines move quickly during a peak period. I will do this by improving store layout and training the staff better. We are serious about providing students with up-to-date material and professors with the flexibility to distribute what they feel is important and relevant to the course. I am personally committed to not making the same mistakes twice. Once again, my thanks _go to Lee Shores.

through various games and ideas, talk about theater and language terms and talk about imagination."

So far the company has entertained at four schools and at the Westminster Recreational Center. It has also performed three I 0-minute showcases to prospective school audiences who might be interested in a full 45-minute show at a later time.

Because the touring company is a pilot program, the performers are a hand-picked crew, Hetzel said.

"I needed students who could perform as well as teach."

The crew consists of Gleason, 25, a senior seeking a degree in theater administration; Frank Douglas Brown, 35, who has an associate's degree and is working on a contract major; Patty Sullivan, 21, a senior with a contract major in music theater; Jack Oden, 28, an education major with a bachelor's degree in theater administration; and Jeff Christensen, 35, a junior with a broadcasting major.

"The students have committed to the company for two semesters," Hetzel said.

"They've kept their Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays free."

She explained that the students get credit in terms of practicum and workshop, but they also get paid.

"The MSC Foundation underwrote us a certain amount of money so that I could guarantee the students a certain amount of money," she said. "Then the schools pay us to perform, and we11 put that money back into the foundation."

"Ideally, we're going to break even, and the students might even make more because they're going out there as professionals," Hetzel said. "It's a unique internship orogram. I don't know of any other like it."

Though they're kindred spirits, each artist's reason for acting in the company is different.

"Something I found out the other day (at the Wyman performance)," Gleason said, "is that even if you've touched one kid, you've made a difference. I think that's important. And I think art is really important in the world" "Performing for young adults is a way of ensuring that there11 be an audience in the future," Brown said "Live theater is a

wonderful experience, but it's not something you're likely to do unless you've had an early positive experience with it.

"We're living in an age where kids are media'd to death. You can't promise them exploding heads or all the things cartoon or • television can do for them.

"In the theater they have a richer experience, but they have to know it's there, to come seek it out. The other thing is that you never know where our theater artists are· coming from. There's no legacy if there's no , artists behind us," Brown said Bv working with the children at Wyman, Sullivan said, she got a perception of how bright they are.

"I really enjoy working with them," she said. "And as much as I'm trying to teach them new things, I can also learn new things from them because they always have a lot of new ideas."

Oden said he hopes the company leaves a lasting impression on the children it performs for.

"I'm an actor," he said. "And there's a certain amount ofjoy performing in front of kids because a lot of the kids we perform for have yet to see a theater production. And we like to think that in some ways we're sort of touching them on some level. Most of what they've been exposed to has been television, .: video games and things like that. ''What's great about 'Six Impossible Things' is that a lot of what we do is without scenery. There are a few ladders and blocks, but for the most part we form the environment. We become the characters just by using our bodies. I think that taps into the kids' imaginations. It gets them to think. It gets them to see something that they're not used to seeing. It's on a different level.

"If they watch TV or see a movie, everything's pretty much just laid out for " them. And they're pretty much just watching.

But with 'Six Impossible Things' they participate. Even though they are sitting there, they're actually participating. They're thinking things through. "ff you (the actor} become a cat, a mouse or a bird, they have to imagine what they're seeing. And kids have pretty vivid imaginations.

"Magic occurs when the kids accept what you're doing as real. It's a very wonderful feeling," Oden said.

at Gallery Jeff Masias

The Metropolitan

What started out as an art assignment at UCLA in 1967 ended up at the Emmanuel Gallery in 1989 as an exhibit featuring human heads.

Craig Smith, an MSC art instructor since 1977, is responsible for bringing "Drawing of the Human Head" to campus.

The exhibition shows works by 15 nationally and internationally known artists through Thursday, Nov. 16.

Smith dedicated the exhibition to bis f former UCLA art instructor, Jan S~y.

Smith said Stussy assigned a different human head project for the entire semester in the spring of 1967, and the c~. along with S~y. madean impact on bis life-an impact be will not forget.

"I have a fondn~ for S~y and bis ' work. He's meant a lot to me as an artist So my feelings for the work extend beyond the 48 by 48 frame up there on the wall," Smith said.

There is not anything specific Smith wants people to get when they view the art.

Smith said it would be fine with him if people come into the Emmanuel Gallery and find just one piece of art that pleases them. ''There was a museum study that said how long a viewer spends in front of a picture. The study said 12 seconds. It takes longe; than that to eat a h~~ cupcake," he said.

Some of the artwork shown in the exhibit, includes that of bis mentor Stussy, former students Lynn Dougherty and Patrick Palmer, and former colleague Gary H. Brown.

"Everybody in the show is a teacher or an illustrator or both. None of these people are really struggling artists," Smith said.

Smith said if he did not make pictures he would die. He describes art as an o~ion.

He lives to make art Smith has two paintings on display at this art show. One piece is a painting dedicated to S~y. The work was made from a portrait Smith had of Stussy.

S~y has said, "We are wh~t we look like." And he has said that the human face is both a revealing guide and road map to the character behind it, and also a damned lie.

Smith describes the pictures on the lower floor of the gallery eloquent. The pictures upstairs as more subtle. It's bard to look at these and not think of the people who painted them. "There's a lot of range in this exhibition," he said.

"Little by little rve pieced the show together. Drawing is immediate, personal and quite sensual. It is also very inexpensive.

Drawing is very personal and it's not computer generated," be said.

For aspiring artists Smith's advice is "work on your craft. There's no substitute for practicing, but to practice, practice, practice." o
