Auraria schools shortchanged · Ji~~~-b_y_M~icb_a_e_IG~ilm_. o_re~~~-'

Growing pains and money worries have come to the Auraria campus in the form of increased enrollment coupled with budget

~uts affecting all three institutions ior the 1981-82 academic year. . UCD, MSC and CCD have all

been notified of cuts in the sup­plemental funding they will be receiving for increased enroll-

""ment. The cuts are partially due to a 1.62 percent callback of funds by Gov. Richard Lamm as part of his plan to reduce the state deficit.

-.c Normal funding is also being affected by the organization each institution is a member of: the University of Colorado (UCD), the Consortium of State Colleges (MSC) and the State Board of

i Community Colleges (CCD-A). Funding for each institution is

based partly on a system using the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) number for enrollment. A .certain

.::.? number of credits is picked as a standard for full time, as in the 15 credits per semester at MSC. This number is then divided into the total number of credits being

given at each institution to get the total FrE number.

An increase in this number will usually necessitate an increase in the budget for the next academic year.

UCD, MSC and CCD have all experienced an enrollment in­crease above and beyond their an­ticipated growth. Additional sup­plemental funding is needed at each institution but there has been a cut not only in the supple­ment but in the cash generated by the increased tuition as well.

At UCD, which has seen an in­crease this fall of 499 FfE stu- · dents over the fall of '81, the way the supplemental appropriations are handled has been changed. By special arrangement with Gov. Lamm the CU Board of Regents and CU president Arnold Weber have control over where the sup­plemental funding will be directed.

This year the Joint Budget Committee had originally award­ed UCD $1. 79 million generated by increased tuition and a supple­ment to cover growth. Weber and the Regents have decided UCO

deserves only $1.1 million - a cut of approximately $625,000.

UCO will receive only · $667,000 from its increased tui­tion money and $456,000 of its original supplement.

Weber told a UCD faculty meeting the budge.t cuts are need­ed because of Gov. Lamm's p~i- . ble callback of funding which will reach about $1.59 million for the whole CU system.

Many UCD fac.ulty members· feel that UCD is '"Incurring more· than their fair share of the budget cuts" according to Suzanne Helburn, chairperson of the UCO Faculty Senate.

"Most of the faculty thinks the situation is unfair and they are pretty upset," added Helburn .. "But they are beginning to accept the reality of it."

Originally UCD planned to hire 55 new faculty members to handle the increased enrollment. Now what hiring will be done is not certain, nor is it certain that any of the funding will be recovered if Gov. Lamm reduces his callback.

MSC is in a similar predica-

ment. Although the number of FTE

students is up 155 over last year, declining enrollment at other Consortium colleges will cause some of MSC' s budget to be . siphoned off.

According to Tim Greene, of MSC' s budget office, the school's total loss will be around $500,000; about half will go to the Consortium and the other half will cover MSC's portion of Gov. Lamm's request of $502,000 from the Consortium.

_,Mock draft scheduled for March by R.P. Bellizzi

The Selective Service system has an· · nounced its intention to hold a mock draft in late March.

There are, however, conflicting opi­...._ nions concerning the specifics of the ex­

ercise. According to a copyright story in the

weekly Rocky Mountain Journal Feb. 17, the Selective Service system will con­duct a mock draft and induction on

;. 'March 20. The exercise, called "Grand

Payload," will induct 1,000 men from the Army reserves at six locations throughout the country. (Colorado will not be included in the exercise.)

,. The story was written by Sal Ruibal, >-associate editor at the Journal as well as a member of the never-convened Lakewood Local Claims Adjudication Board, Number 16. As a member of the local draft board, Ruibal received his in­formation in a letter from Selective Ser­.vice Director Thomas K. Turnage.

:. Col. Richard Thomas, regional manager of the Selective Service's Region 6, headquartered in Denver, considers the Journal's story inaccurate regarding the scope of the exercise.

"We will only be activating a couple 7 of local boards in Kentucky and

Maryland," Thomas said. . "This is not the first time we've done

this. We do it every year to evaluate our capabilities," he said.

Ruibal does not see it that way. . "It is apparent from the letter that it

· ~is, in fact, not something that happens every year, because it shows that this is the first time that this has taken place," Ruibal said. "If it happens on a yearly basis, then this is the first annual exer­cise."

Ruibal was referring to a portion of the letter from Turnage which reads, "This will be the first time that the Military Manpower Accession System, of which the Selective Service is a vital part, will actually take prospective in­ductees from their homes to various reception stations."

"I don't see how there can be any dispute over the facts because the source of the facts is the director of the Selec­tive Se~ce," Ruibal said. "If they've got problems~ over there in deciding what they're going to do, then somebody ·ought to tell the director he doesn't know what he's talking about."

All this comes in the wake of President Reagan's Jan. 7 decision to reinstate mandatory draft registration.

Selective Service records show· that while 6.6 million men 18-21-years-old have registered, 800,000 have not.

Thomas attributes their failure to register as a publicity problem.

"We feel there was a lack of informa­tion on registration , requirements," Thomas said.

In July, 1980, draft registration was held during a two-week period for all eligible young men. Beginning in January, 1981, men were required to register within 30 days of their 18th bir- · thday.

"I can't help but think that that was a ·factor,'' Thomas said, referring to the less-publicized period of registration.

Ruibal wants it to be understood why he is involved with the draft board.

"I think I should make it clear that I'm not opposed to the draft," Ruibal said. ''I'm on a local board beeause I think it needs to be fairly decided by a representative cross-section of the com­munity, not just bank presidents and that kind of thing that went on before.

~Trustees agree to pay for flight students' lessons

...... ·'

by J. Patrick O'Leary l To resofve. stUdent claims against Pro

Flight, Inc., the Trustees of the Consor­tium of State Colleges have settled on a legal and financial course of action, as

'patt of their "moral," but not "legal" obligation to MSC students who lost deposits when the flight school closed its doors.

The six-point plan, presented at a re­cent Consortium meeting, will allow

_grounded MSC flight students to con-. :' tinue flight training at the college's ex­

pense while efforts are made to recover their assets.

Pro Flight, which never signed a con­tract with the college, closed its doors in December and said it would not honor

-~deposits for flight training made by MSC students.

The State Attorney General's office will continue to work toward a solution with Pro Flight, according .to the plan.

In the interim, students with claims against Pro Flight will submit them to .. '

MSC, along with log books and cancell­ed checks to verify the amounts claimed.

MSC will then pick up the tab for flight training, not to exceed the amount of the claims. Training will be provided through either Colorado Air Center or Hyperion Aviation, the current-contract flight schools.

These expenditures will be recorded by MSC's Busine$s Department, in hopes the amount will eventually be recovered fro~ P~ Flight.

If, after the students get their training off the ground, a solution. has not been reached, MSC will file suit against Pro Flight through the Attorney General's office to recover amounts due and legal costs.

While the school has claimed no legal responsibility, it has decided to repre­sent the students in their efforts to recover lost deposits as part of a moral and ethical responsibility to the students.

"I heard that they were looking for people to serve on local boards. I'm a veteran, and I've always been interested in that.

"I think that people should serve their country but I also think that in return for people being subject to. this kind of government action the government has to be entirely honest with them. There can be no room for deceit or cover-up on any kind of information from the Selec­tive Service.

"As a local board member I want to work not only in dealing with the claims that come in, deferment claims and such, but also in dealing with the general public in their attitudes toward the Selective Service.

"This is alot different than the way it used to be back in the Viet Nam days. I don't think they can bullshit the people anymore.

"The sad part is that when I was try­ing to verify all this stuff nobody would say anything to me about it. It wasn't until we ran the story and essentially forced them to make some sort of com­ment on it that any comment came.

"That's not the way I want to see the Selective Service run," Ruibal conclud­ed.

Meanwhile, others continue to oppose the draft.

Steve Kosmicki, of Cornerstone Justice and Peace Center, sees President Reagan as the dominant force behind the reinstitution of the draft.

"He says one thing during his cam­paign," Kosmicki said, "but everything he is doing leads a person to conclude that he is going to be the person who will probably bring back the draft."

Kosmicki thinks that the Seleetive Ser­vice has resorted to intimidation to get men to register for the draft.

Money down ~ntinued from page 1 said. "You have to have the actual equipment."

Although complaints of overcrowded classrooms, no money for new sections or equipment and having to turn away students on the large waiting lists can be heard, the official attitude is "turnabout is fair play," Roberta Smilnak, vice president of Student Affairs, said.

"The Consortium has helped us in the past and now it is our tum to help them," Smilnak said.

The same pattern is seen at CCD. CCD has experienced an increase of 598 FTE students in the last year.

CCD' s budget which is controlled by the State Board of Community Colleges is also being affected by Gov. Lamm's callback and declining enrollment in other state community colleges.

CCD is the fastest growing communi­ty college in the state but its supplemen­tal appropriation for growth has been vastly reduced.

What this means for the average stu­dent, according to CCD vice president Myer Titus, is that although normal fun­ding for each student is around $2040, CCD will be receiving only $835 for each additional student.

"It's physically impossible to pro­secute 800,000 young men," Kosmicki said. "What people don't realize is that they have not come anywhere near iden­tifying those 800,000 people. That would be the first step."

In December, 1981, Congress p~ the Defense Appropriations Act of 1982, which gives the Selective Service legal access to Social Security records. Now, by cr~-referencing records, it can be determined who has not complied with mandatory registration.

Kosmicki sees the question of registra­tion as the key to the success of the draft.

"In order for this thing to run smoothly, you need a 99 percent com­pliance rate," Kosmicki said. H one looks at the figures, it doesn't take a radical draft resistor to put two and two together and see that the numbers are not with the Selective Service system.

''I'd say the numbers are like an im­movable mountain. As long as the numbers stay as they are, the Selective Service system is sunk. They can work on this till doomsday and there Will be no way they can find, warn and pro­secute, let alone jail all those people.

"But if the numbers start to change in their favor, say, if more men started signing up, then the mountain could be moved."

neWS" · Legal Services reorganized Club

Calendar by Margaret A. Dubois

The position of director for Auraria Legal Services, vacant since the November resignation of Ken Shon, will not be filled according to Legal Services attorney Rick Weinberg.

But the Legal Services Board of Direc­tors is reorganizing and filling vacancies on the board.

Weinberg, who bas taken over most of the director's duties, said the office of Legal Services operates more efficiently without a separate director.

"As long as I am the attorney," he said, "I will also act as director." . Weinberg became acting director of Legal Services in mid~November when the board placed Shon on temporary leave. At a Nov. 24 meeting Shon resign­ed as director and a motion was made, but tabled, to abolish the position en­tirely.

Specific: allegations were made con­cerning problems with the budget and Sbon's operation of the office. But the question of whether or not a director was necessary loomed. ·

"It was the best advantage of Legal Services and the students that I resign," Shon said at the time, refuting allega­tions leading to his resignation. "It would have been totally defensive to answer the charges. I just wanted to clear up the confusion and exit."

Weinberg said the director's position was a waste of time and money. The original concept of a separate director was to be phased out eventually.

"The director was to be a laison bet­ween the schools, the board and the at­torney," Weinberg said. "What bas transpired (alleviating the position) is no different from the original plan."

Weinberg said the distinction bet­ween duties of the director and attorney were confusing. He claims one person can handle problems that arise in the of­fice better than two.

Weinberg believes be should have more input about the budget.

Another issue Weinberg raised was about the ethics of an attorney's work being affected by a lay director.

Jim Bunch of the Colorado Bar Association's Ethics Committee said, "The mere fact a non-lawyer sits on the board of directors or is the director is not a disabling issue, and does not necessari­ly present an ethical problem."

But Weinberg said by definition the director's position did present an ethical concern. According to Weinberg, some problems arose between Shon and himself concerning scheduling and of­fice time priorities.

Weinberg said be bas no difficulty fulfilling the needs of students and car­rying out the director's responsibilities. The office has a backlog of one to two

weeks but Weinberg said he sets specific time aside to handle administrative and emergency client situations.

The Legal Services budget will not show a significant profit from the elimination of the director's salary, however.

According to Weinberg, Legal Ser­vices never had as much money as the board thought because of misinforma­tion concerning MSC' s funding of the service.

Weinberg will now receive an addi­tional allowance- for the added hours he'll work each week.

"If and when I leave the position I hope to organize the office to .the point where a director is not necessary again," Weinberg said.

According to Nancy Scott, UCO dean of Student Affairs, the board should consist of representatives from the Denver District Attorneys office, the Colorado Women's Bar Association and the Colorado Public Defenders office.

It also includes an administrative representative from UCO, three UCO students, two MSC students and one CCD student. (The number of student representatives depends upon the fun­ding provided by each school.)

The board has lacked representation from the Denver District Attorneys of­fice and the Colorado Public Defenders office since the fall. , Some school representatives, in­cluding Michael Johnson, former chair­man of the board and MSC represen­tative, have resigned as well. Chris Davies, a UCO student representative, bas been acting chairman since the beginning of this semester.

Weinberg said he hopes to fill vacan­cies by the March board meeting. But added that as long as a quorum is pre­sent he will make proposals for reorganization and a permanent chair­man will be elected.

Erratum The Metropolitan incorrectly

reported, in the Nov. 6 issue, that Tom Hanoa, chairman of the UCO Executive Council, sat on the Legal Servicei board of directors illegally.

The Metropolitan regrets this error which resulted from incorrect inter­pretation of the Associated Students of UCO Constitution.

Commuters can stay home with computers _. ·-l by James Tabor I

• It's Monday morning, the start of another work week and time to head for the office. Your journey is only twenty feet.

Your work awaits on top of your desk in the den - a home computer. Push a

, few buttons and all the pertinent infor­mation needed for the day is displayed on your VDT screen.

Press a couple more keys for direct phone communication with your main office and computer corresponds with computer.

~~ This direct communication link will provide any information needed from the office such as inventory, customer information or accounting data. The ?rinter will produce a permanent paper record of the transaction if needed.

~· What is a home computer? ~ In the past home computer systems

had essentially two main components: the computer itself, or the hardware, and the computer programs or software.

Previously the software for home computers was based on a micro-process

· or micro-computer, which was usually a single integrated computer chip. ·

In addition there were usually num~rous other chips with specific func­tions such as:

• additional memory • displays

~ • keyboard • amette interface or printer Recent advances in hardware

. capabilities have resulted in video disc and bubble memories. This makes it pomble to store whole libraries of infor­mation as well as voice synthesizers and

- flat screen video displays. Another recent technological advance

was IBM's newest home computer system, featuring a 16-bit chip. This new feature offers four times the com­puting power and has a much greater

_., memory capacity than previous home computer systems.

Toqay there exists a revolution in tel~ communications - the ability to transfer information back and forth quickly - which will open the doors to a world of information available to

""!: anyone with a home computer. This tel~communication system not

only gives you access to a major on-line system but also allows transmissions with friends or office.

Home computers and small business systems can now be linked into a na-

.. tional computer system which allows ac­~ to all information or services of its data bases which are constantly being updated.

This service is supplied by a company called the Source. The concept became a

: realty in 1979. In two years the com­. pany has expanded to a national level

and is thriving in a rapidly -escalating market.

To gain a~ to this realm of infor­mation and services one only h-as to

~-- utilize a standard data terminal, micro­computer, or your communicating word processor. Most of the equipment available today could be adapted for use on the Source.

According to R. Niclcum, president of Total Data Business Inc., located in

Student Body Presidential . Report

The making of a president, 1982. The making of a president, that is, for MSC. The

monotonous, time-consuming task of selection has suc­cessfully reduced the number of viable candidates for the position to three. Of the three candidates, one will be recommended to theBoard of Trustees for final ap­proval.

The Search and Select Committee wants input on these three finalists from the faculty, deans, and students. They want every party to give reflections on these three people, based on interviews held by groups

representing each faction of interest. . The opportunity exists for students to help make the

decision as to whom we, as an institution, will have as president. The final recommendation of the Search and Select Committee will utilize the findings and recommendations of the groups on campus who hold these interviews. The decision on final selection rests with the trustees. Their decision~ however, is historically exactly the same as the Search and Select Committee's recommendation. In other words, the rating of candidates by the specific institutional groups does carry weight, and influence over the final deci­sion exists quite palpably.

Students will have the opportunity to interview the three candidates on March 29, April 1 and April 5. The interviews will be held from 10:45 - noon. Students interested in being involved in this process

must contact the offiee of Student Government by Fri­day, March 12. Between the 12th and the 29th, several meetings will be held, where students who will be con­ducting the interviews will work on a list of specific questions relevant to student interests.

Students who want to involve themselves must make • all three interviews, and are strongly encouraged to make all the meetings before the interviews, to con­tribute to the question-development process.

These selection processes can be very educational, as well as personally rewarding. I strongly encourage you to consider involving yourself with the future of this ~ institution. I can be contacted in room 340, Student Center, or reached via extensions 3253 or 2797.

Opportunely yours.

Blind student· wants others to see problems·, Dear Editor: In the two problems outlined below., I

feel it is definitely important to preface my remarks. Though these upcoming situations do present a certain amount of difficulty and annoyance, they certainly are very common. Because I have dealt with similar cir­cumstances in most other job and school settings, I am able to cope with them without much problem. My concern really is more for the people with fewer resources or less ability.

As a blind student attending the Community Col­lege of Denver for the first time, I deduced that the logical first step would be to locate and use the "Center for the Physically Disadvantaged," for whatever services they might render. However, upon entering the office where the CPD is located, I en­countered numerous tables, chairs, filing cabinets and people; all of which seemed to be more or less strewn about. Obviously, the point to be made here is that the

handicapped services center is not as accessible as it should be. In my opinion, this i,s certainly the one of­fice which should be readily available to anyope in need and I find the various obstacles and barriers counterproductive to the function of this resource. I discussed this issue with an employee of the CPD, and yes, the inaccessability of this facility is definitely a problem which other handicapped students have also encountered.

Another situation which I feel shows a lack of forethought and long-term planning, is the lack of any orientation and/or mobility training. The blind students, especially, are left to their own devices as far as locating the various rooms and buildings which may be necessary to ensure full educational benefits. With the size and scope of this campus being what it is, such assistance would seem to be a must. While some people might. argue that there are not enough blind students

to warrant instituting such a program, it is my conten­tion that if such a service existed, more visually im­paired people might develop an interest in attending school on the Auraria campus. ,

In summation, I should point out that it has been,.. my experience that, -when dealing with problems of this nature, generally two options exist.

You can either make civilized waves and attempt to create change, or if that is not fruitful or practical, learn to anticipate and work around potential bar­riers. Of course, though growth and change are prefer­red, it is not always possible. We all deal every day with elements and conditions of our environments which we would like to see altered for our benefits, but sometimes it is more appropriate to just accept things as they are and move on. My only real objective at this point is to hopefully provoke some thought.

problems p'rsist asked the first available unit to respond.

Compounding the situation was the fact that District 1 also had received several citizen complaints about jaywalkers from motorists.

A DPD parking control jeep respond­ed. About 15 minutes later two Pedestrian Safety Unit officers arrived. They ticketed 16-18 jaywalkers in the next 90 minutes. While these students were being detained, hundreds of other jaywalkers streamed by.

Ferguson of APS, who had planned to meet the DPD representatives when they arrived on campus, was delayed because he had to handle several other calls. Had he been on hand, much of the resulting confusion would have been avoided.

It should be noted that APS officers are not empowered to ticket people for moving violations. Lawrence Street itself is not part of the Auraria campus and therefore comes under DPD jurisdiction.

According to Imes of the Pedestrian S~ty Unit, in a Jan. 27 article appear­ing in The Metropolitan, his unit really is not interested in jaywalkers who cross the street when there is no oncoming traffic. Its aim is to cite the blatent of­fender - the one who endangers himself or others.

Apparently the District 1 officers in the parking control jeep whose normal job does not include citing jaywalkers, was not aware of this policy. By the time the Pedestrian Safety Unit officers arriv­ed, there were a lot of non-blatent of­fenders who were very mad. As ticketing continued, the situation degenerated in­to boos and cat calls by students - with police tempers growing short.

The situation at the crossing was fur­ther complicated by the presence of a Rocky M-0untain News reporter and photographer.

According to a front page story in the Feb. 18 News, DPD Officer Sharon Landin approached a News photographer and demanded to see a permit for taking pictures. When in­formed that no permit is required to photograph public streets and college campuses, Landin ordered the photographer to rip the film from the camera.

Refugees recount terror of Duarte regime

Salvadorean refugees, Roberto and Juan, who now live in Denver.

Editor'• note: The storiea appearing on these pages contain some of the writer's, Daniel]. Mathew10n, opinions.

."Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to

breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming

shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost

to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door/"

Through motionless tropical air an olive drab, three-quarter ton pickup truck, its headlights out, edges slowly into the barrio. Moonli.ght casts foreboding shadows on the unpaved street, and shows the way to doorsteps of humble dwellings. One of these dwell­ings has been pre-destined for intrusion on this calm, but troubled, Salvadorean morning.

It is 2 a.m. Time to mov~ in. Dusty black army boots hit the dirt

from both sides of the truck, and the faint sound of shoulder straps can be heard scraping magazines full of American ammunition.

A broken sliding door lock gives way to the fascist assembly, couched and snarling behind a single flashlight.

Inhabitants are thrown into the main room, from their much-needed rest into the sights of M-16s.

"Where is your communist-dog son?" demands the ugliest, the one in charge.

"He is not here. He did not return from work today," replies the old man.

"Then we shall find out where he might have gone," the barbarian assumes.

When the sun rises over the ba~io, neighbors will come to visit. They will find the door open and the hinges loose. Body parts of those they once knew and loved will be strewn about the room, or strategically placed by the death squad, so as to warn recalcitrants among the shocked onlookers of further actions such as this.

"If they don't find the person they're looking for," says Jesus Salvador, "they

kill the family. They start by chopping off the fingers and toes with a machete."

Salvador (real name withheld for precautionary reasons) lost his father, a union organizer, to a Salvadorean death squad. His two brothers, aged 15 and 17, are, or were, alive and well in El Salvador.

"If they haven't killed them," says Salvador, "then they're still alive."

Salvador worked in his barrio with a committee dedicated to the political education of the people, an unarmed faction of the opposition forces.

One day, a Friday, Salvador was walking with a group of friends in San Salvador when an armored vehicle ap­proached. The soldiers jumped from the vehicle and beat up and searched the group.

"Everybody was watching," he says, "We thought they were going to kill us."

Salvador says the reason behind these searches is to obtain information to be forwarded to death squads - names, addresses and descriptions.

An error on his I.D. card gave Salvador enough time to return home, gather some belongings and bid farewell to his mother and godfather. He now resides in America and is unwelcomed by its government.

If Salvador were Polish or, perhaps Cuban with plenty of capital, he would be welcomed with open arms.

But Salvador is a refugee of one of the "moderately repressive" regimes which are generously favored by Washington. He is, therefore, one of thousands who lives under threat of deportation resulting in murder, and who feels the pain of separation from loved ones.

"I have no fear for my own life," Salvador says. "I fear for my family in El Salvador."

President Reagan exhorts that the op­position forces in El Salvador are being supplied, even manned, by Russians, Cubans, Nicaraguans, North Koreans, and the P.L.O.

"Children - girls and boys - begin life with arms (guns) in El Salvador," Salvador says. "These are the Russians

and Cubans that Reagan is so worried about."

"The more that die," he says, "the more will rise up."

A social worker, on the board of direc­tors of the Denver Chicano Concerns, led the way to a group of Salvadoran refugees who have come to the United States to work for their families who re­main in El Salvador.

This group, like many others, is holed up in an apartment project that receives little or no police protection. Much of what were personal belongings has now become the property of thieves.

Mabel is pregnant. She h"as three children with her, whom she brought from El Salvador. The youngest, at the time, was four-months-old.

"I carried here like this," she says, with her right palm upward, "when we

crossed rivers." Francisco has six children in El

Salvador, Roberto has four, and Juan bas three. They miss their families and wish to return, even if it means facing the uncertainty of their own survival.

"Death is a very common thing in El Salvador," says Juan. "We are not afraid of dying."

Roberto and Juan attended the "Let El Salvador Be El Salvador" rally in Boulder on Sat., Feb. 20. It was the first time since they had arrived in this coun- ~ try eight months ago that they have been out of Denver.

To Salvador, Mabel, Francisco, Roberto, Juan and Marta - who at 12-years-old cannot attend school because she has to take care of the little ones - it feels good to know there are citizens of these United States who care.

Boulder rally draws many sympathizers

An estimated 3,000 people gathered Sat., Feb. 20, on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder to protest U.S. military in­terventionism in El Salvador and to show their support for a negotiated political settlement of the Salvadoran conflict.

The rally, "Let El Salvador be El Salvador," was organized and financed by the U.S. Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES).

Maria Santos, a representative of CISPES, was one of seven speakers.

"What is falling in Central America," she said, "is not dominoes, but swastikas - and damned old ones at that.

"Reagan is acting like he doesn't need the permission of the people of El Salvador or of the United States," Santos said. "If Reagan escalates, we escalate!"

A trio of guitarists performed between speeches - songs of the 60s, songs of unity and protest. Signs denouncing the Vietnamization of Central America and

the hypocrisy of a dual standard toward El Salvador as compared with Poland were held high around the three-quarter circle that surrounded the stage.

Representative Tim Wirth said that Reagan is showing a broad pattern of being out of touch with the American people.

"There's no way," he said, "that the administration can apply a military solution to what is an economic and _ political problem. We've got to bring the administration back in touch with what's going on.

Bringing the administration back in touch is what this rally was all about.

Penfield Tate, former mayor of Boulder, said that the difference bet­ween now and the Vietnam era is that now we're starting earlier to get the word out.

"I hope we've got the guts to do what has to be done," said Tate. "God's speed."

Candles burn bright for Poland, barely flicker for El Salvador

President Reagan recently asked millions of Americans to keep candles burning in their windows as a gesture of solidarity with the oppressed people of El Salvador.

Did you buy that? How 'bout some fertile farm land in southern Arizona?

No, it's not true. President Reagan has no intention of offering assistance to the oppressed of El Salvador, because Presi­dent Reagan is in league with the op­pressors.

Still, in spite of the United Empire, candles burn freely and bravely against the dark night. Candles can be seen at great distances when it is blackest.

Where are these candles, 'and where does one look for the light? From what source do they shine? ·

First, are your eyes open? Are you aware of a brilliance that stands apart from the politics of the nocturnal? Are you, perhaps, a refugee frQm the politics of earthly hell?

.., A member of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) at the recent rally in Boulder.

Amelie Starky is a Sister of the Sacred Heart of Mary, and director of the Justice and Peace Office in Denver. Her work is to carry on where the Statue of Liberty left off.

Sister Starky believes in a basic goodness of mankind . . . that the greed of a few cannot survive.

It-is this essential belief that supports her in her efforts to welcome and com­fort those among the huddled masses whom the American teeming shores have rejected.

"Somewhere down the line," Starky says, "Americans made the assumption that, just because we have 'In God Vie Trust' printed on our money, we can do anything we want to and it will conform with Judeo-Christian values.

"The issue of El Salvador is a hundred percent political and a hundred percent religious.

"You don't feed the hungry and not be political," Starky concluded.

Indeed, while the U .S.-supported Duarte regime continues its U~ S. -supported massacre of the Salvadorean people, it is imperative that caring citizens of the military-mad American society become involved both politically and religiously, or if you will, religiously political, in order to have claim to dignity.

In a letter to President Carter in February of 1980 - one month before his assassination - Archbishop Romero wrote: "It would be unjust and deplorable if, because of the in­terference of foreign powers, the Salvadorean people were to be frustrated, were to be repressed and prevented from deciding autonomously the economic and political course which our nation must follow. It would sup­pose the violation of a right which we Latin American bishops, gathered in Puebla, publicly acknowledged wheri we cited the legitimate self­determination of our peoples which will allow them to organize themselves ac­cording to their proper genius and the march of their history." .

Sound a little like an American docu­ment about two hundred years ago? The modern day King George just happens to be a couple hundred years more op­pressive. All this talk of rights and self­determination belongs to the past, or as accusations against Moscow. ,Remember, 'In God We Trust.'

God can get pretty scary sometimes when he's portrayed as the Vincent Price Conqueror Worm type.

You know the type. The test is simple. Dunk the hag in the river, and if she comes up a kickin', she's a witch. If she drowns, she's been forgiven and ac­cepted into the spiritual world.

McCarthy played the part well in the - fifties.

"There's no way," Starky says, "that Reagan and all his millionaire buddies would take on the Catholic Church."

Alexander Haig may have attempted taking on the church with his assertion that three nuns and a lay social worker were murdered in December 1980 because they were trying to run a

military roadblock. The U.S. manufactured bullets that

were found lodged in these women are evidence of a thinly veiled coverup.

.. And Haig is Catholic,'' Starky says, as though she wished it were not true.

"Most American Catholics," she says, "are Americans before they are Catholics. And that goes for the protes­tant denominations too."

So what is the danger of being American first, you may ask? Perhaps the danger may be best illustrated by the following prophecy:

First they came for the communists, but I was not a communist so I did not protest; then they came for the Jews, but I was not a J e~ so I did not protest; then they came for the Catholics, but I was not a Catholic so I did not protest; and then they came for me, and there was no one left to protest. No one left to protest. The words fall

steadily into a military black hole. No one left to oppress. No more grasshop­pers in the field from which to pluck legs, one b¥ one.

Protest and civil disobedience are vital functions of democracy, but as Americans will soon find out, they are functions that will not be tolerated under the economic and military austerity programs of the current ad­ministration.

The Vietnamization of Central America is a reality which the Reagan administration is attempting to hide from the citizens under its control. It is because of this that groups of concerned citizens are beginning to build a strong constituency, to reach the public with the factual seriousness of American in­terventionism.

Eric Wright, field secretary for the American Friends Service Committee in Denver, says there are clear signals of opposition to support for intervention in El Salvador.

"Even among representatives of Con­gress,'' Wright says, "there's a real ner­vousness about getting us involved in El Salvador."

The protest of American citizens must be heard in the halls of their Congress.

"I quarrel not with far off foes," said Thoreau, "but with those who, near at home, cooperate with, and do the bid­ding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless."

Sister Starky and Eric Wright both suggest that education of the public is foremost.

Secondly, bombard the state depart­ment with letters of disapproval with American interventionism in Central America. Third, a broader support is needed for the anti-interventionist movement, with greater participation in rallies, church involvement, and seminars.

"If I thought in practical terms," Starky says, "I would tend toward despair. There is a power greater than the practical.''

It is that greater power that protects the candles for El Salvador. When the flame begins to flicker, great hands form a cup of protection.

Black student political activism declines I by Terron Hutt .

Many political minority groups - in­cluding black student unions - that developed ten or more years ago on cam­puses nationwide are struggling for sur­vival.

BSU groups on the Auraria campus are no exception.

Enoch Needham of the College Press Service cites in a recent story that a rise in black fraternities, sororities and other social groups as a few reasons for a decrease in black activism on campuses.

"Black, white or whatever, we are in times of repression and people have to believe an organization is going to make a difference," Needham told The Metropolitan.

Auraria professors and students had their own insights into the problems of Auraria BSU groups.

Curtis Branch, MSC assistant pro­fessor of Afro American Studies said, "This campus is unlike most in that it is a commuter campus and students have to deal with the reality of a job, family and getting to and from school.

"You can see it in the student make-up at Auraria," Branch said. "Their pur­pose for being here is to get an educa­tional degree, and the opportunity to in­teract is limited."

Branch also noted the change in the generation of students today compared with the sixties.

''We live in a TV generation and peo­ple respond to things, not people," he said. "The growing divisions of the com­munity and social change contributes to this dilemma. Feeling out of place can make for less than a positive experience for students," Branch said.

MSC's minority recruiting advisory committee helps students with admis­sion and application procedures. The committee's main purpose is to recruit blacks to the college.

"The BSU cannot be everything to everybody although their visibility is not as great as one would imagine for a com­munity school," Branch said. "But because the agent is not visible does not mean that it is not there."

Ali Thobhani, professor in MSC's Afro American studies department cited full time jobs, families, and issues in day-to­day life as reasons for weaknesses in Auraria' s BSU. Thobhani believes a low level of energy is typical of the whole campus.

"Events here don't attract many students," he explains. "I've attended lectures and only 10 to 15 people showed up. I feel there is always enough student interest, but campus activities are not always able to maintain that active level

A slide show and lecture will be presented from 4 - 6 p.m. Feb. 22 in St. Cajetan's. A reception will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. in room 115 of the library.

The central theme of the exhibit is the expression of the "Black experience." Universal as well as personal concepts are explored. The art ranges in style from realism to abstraction. Artists are diversified in training and choice of mediums.

story. According to Imes, Officer Lan- ~ · din merely made a request for the News to clear the story through DPD to assure that the facts were correct.

After the confrontation scenario at 10th and Lawrence Streets had run its course, the original purpose for the police presence - that of constructive · assessment of the A~raria pedestrian situation - was realized.

On the following morning, Feb. 18, Imes of DPD, Ferguson, APS Director Dave Rivera, and Jim Hammond of Denver Traffic Engineering took ~ walking tour of the campus. ·

Rivera said he and Hammond meet two to three times a year in this manner to review shifting Auraria and downtown traffic patterns. They recom­mend and implement changes that will both enhance vehicular and pedestrian flow, and add to student safety.

During the tour, members of the group made a number of observations.

"Cars come off the Lawrence Street viaduct at an average speed of 40 miles an hour," Ferguson said. "That's well over the posted limit of 25 (m.p.h.)." ~

Adding to the race track atmosphere is .that cars turning from 9th Street onto Lawrence used to face a green light at the infamous 10th and Lawrence er~ ing.

Generally, the cars sped up, attemp­ting to get through the light before iV changed.

No more. The traffic light sequence has been changed so that turning cars will face a red light - and it is hoped -slow down.

MSC Student Art Show on· exhibit at Emmanuel·

- '

by Anna Woods ·I The MSC Student Art Show is now be-

.. ing exhibited in the Emmanuel Gallery until March. The show is one of the most diverse and professional-appearing stu­dent shows that I have seen.

There are many excellent drawin~ in the exhibit including Lydia Albrech~s pieces, "Kimono" and "Bike," in which she has used pencil, goldleaf, ink and other materials.

"Rockfish" is a pointillistic pen and ink drawing by Linda Kirchhofer and "Is England in Hot Water?" is a skillful drawing by Sandie Inlenfeldt.

_., The area of photography is represented in the show by many works. Among those, Elizabeth Pott's photomontages, "P~ing Thfough I and II, stand out as humorous and unusual.

"Tourist Tracks," an abstract acrylic painting by Julie Stephenson, has bold

• and beautiful colors. Debea Lesan's painting, "Think About It," and Malco_lm Farley's "Calculating Evil" and "Down for the Count" are well

crafted paintin~. Mark A. Nichols' hard-edge abstract

acrylic painting, "Black,. Pink, Purple" is a balanced and well executed work.

A really nicly mixed-media piece by Chris Kahn titled, "Letter From Africa" is full of different images and shows the artist has a familiarity with many dif­ferent techniques from transferring to painting.

Linda Spolec's series, "The Socio­~~~logical Im~lications of Dryer Lmt is a funny series that explains how to read a person's habits, income, the company they keep, and other personal aspects of their life by examining the lint that accumulates in their dryer.

"Rules of the Game" by Jim Davis is, as the title indicates, a game. The game pieces. are ceramic and triangular and the gameboard is a colorful geometric pattern. Whether or not there are rules to go with the game, it is certainly nice to look _at.

A wooden book display stand by Stephen Beiderbeck upstairs in the gallery is a ~autifully crafted piece.

Malcolm Farley's wooden sculpture­furniture, "Soft, Hard Place" must be seen to be appreciated.

There are many other excellent works in the exhibit so it's worth the stop before it changes in March.

In case you are not familiar with the

Emmanuel Gallery, it is the small chapel across from the Student Center and next to. the P.E. building.

The chapel was built in 1876 and is Denver's oldest standing church. It was first an Episcipalian Chapel, then in 1903 it became a synagogue as the religious background of the neighborhood changed. The neighborhood was eventually taken over by factories, warehouses and markets causing the congregation to diminish.

In 1958 the gallery was sold and used as an artist's studio by Wolfgang Pogeba until 1973 when the Romanesque-­Gothic structure became a part of the Auraria campus.

The gallery is open daily Monday through Friday from 11-4 through March 5.

Aurarla Instructors featured at art exhibit

"New Stuff," an exhibit 'illustrating the diverse directions taken by Col­orado's contemporary photographers, will be held at the Hills Gallery from March 2 to April 3.

The exhibit has been billed by the gallery as an assemblage of everything from "academics, traditionalists and purists," to "the avante-garde, concep­tualists and the fringe bizarre." Numerous artists will be featured, in­cluding Auraris's Sandy Hume, Barbara Houghton, Jim Mihnoe, Ray Whiting and Ron Wohlauer.

The gallery, located at 3113 E. Third Ave., has extended its hours (10 a.m. -5:30 p.m. Tues.-Sat.) to 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. March 17-20 and noon - 9 p.m. on Sun., March 21. The phone number is 320-0729.

MSC art education conference scheduled

MSC will sponsor a conference on Issues in Art Education. The conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Studeot Center. Registration deadline is Feb. 26. The conference is free.

~-m~~~~--: Expect unexpected from Sam Shepard

by Marie Helm

Shepard (Shep@rd), Sam 1943-; con­temporary Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, poet, and actor whose credits include roles in Days of Heaven, and Resurrection, is the subject of the first half of The World of Sam Shepard: Patti's Poem to Sam, and the author of Suicide in Bb, the second half of the performance. Playing at the Denver Center Theatre through April 3. For information call 893-4100.

"Once upon a time a man walked into a theatre .. . and he was expecting to see this play ... and the play turns out to be nothing at all what he expected," Sam Shepard.

The best advice for viewing The World of Sam Shepard is to expect the unexpected.

The production consists of two acts. The first is an introduction to the work and history of Sam Shepard as presented by Sam's one time companion - punk rocker Patti Smith. Act I is a compila­tion of scenes and experiences from Sam's life as put -together by Larry Ellenburg and the plays director Mark Cuddy.

Act II is actually a separate play writ­ten by Shepard entitled Suicide in Bb.

"And he finds himself entering another world. He ;ust sort of walks into a totally unknown world and he can't quite figure out what the world's about but it looks real interesting to him and it's interesting because it reflects something about a part of his life that he feels and has partially experienced but he doesn't live in."

Viewers also find themselves in a dif­ferent world inside the theatre. The stage has been worked into a driv~in movie theatre complete with movie screen, snack bar, old tires, playground, driv~in movie speakers and tumble weeds.

Act I begins as Patti Smith, played by Shelly Crandall, leads us through the various life experiences of Sam Shepard, played by Duane Black. There is no real· plot, but the action is alive and visceral as we meet Shepard and the people he knew and the places he went.

Act I is actually nothing more than 55 minutes of non-stop entertainment. We learn that this character Sam Shepard is a maverick- a product of the post-beat generation and heavily influenced by such writers as Kerouac, Ginsberg and

_SRorts Reflections on an MSC basketball career

_ I by Linda Laffoon ~ Editor's note: In last week's The Metropolitan, R.P. Bellizzi reported problems of the MSC women's athletics department, including lack -0f com­munication between athletes, coaches and the athletic director. · In this issue Linda Laffoon

' ellaborates on the program's problems from an athlete's point of view.

We were lucky at basketball practice last week - we had three balls that bounced.

,. Never mind that one bounced to my knees and one resembled an egg rather than a basketball. It only takes one ball to play a game, right?

We do have more than three balls, of c.'Ourse. It's just a shame the other five or
