Audit Report Poses Merger

Battle Lines Drawn

by ·Carson Reed Editor, The Metropolium

State auditors Robert Scott and Robert Haddock presented the loQg­awaited findings of the state perfor­mance audit of the Auraria campus to a full house last Wednesday night.

At the hearing before the legislative audit committee, the auditors presented a total of fourteen recom­mendations for changes under the current structure of the campus. But the auditors first suggested that the entire list of recommendations could be solved by placing the campus under a single board or <;ommittee with full responsibility for resolving campus problems. They suggested that could be accomplished either through creation of a mediating or arbitrating board, consolidation of the schools under a single board, or merger of the three schools into a single institution.

New Contract Cures MSC 'Headache~

Pri.nting Dispute ~nds by Kevin Vaughan News Editor, The Metropolitan

Faculty and administrators at MSC are once again getting their printing done on campus--the result of a com­promise credit agreement between MSC and the AHEC printing office.

The printing office cut off service to MSC last October, claiming that the appropriated budget for printing for fiscal year 1983 had been used up. But earlier this month, officjals of AHEC and MSC signed an agreement which makes provisions for MSC to pay its outstanding bills and establish a line of credit for the coming year.

The dispute . arose last fall over whether t~e surplus in MSC's prin­ting appropriation was cumulative. Believing they were, MSC assumed it had over $40,000 in ctedit coming,

· but AHEC had turned the left over monies back into its general fund at the end of each year.

Operating under the assumption that it had credit remaining, MSC ran up a $49,148 tab above and beyond the then-existing credit agree­ment.

The dispute arose last fall over whether the surplus in MSC's printing appropriation was cumulative.

The new contract, which was ap­proved January 10 by MSC President Richard Fontera and AHEC Ex­ecutive Director· Jerry Wartgow, outlines plans for MSC to pay the outstanding · bill over a five-year period.

-Trustee Sweetkind

The Auditors concluded that, although the Auraria campus "works well," and the three schools have stayed true to their original missions, change is needed.

Reading from the report, Haddock said:-

"We found that Metropolitan State College, the University of Colorade at Denver and the Community Col­lege of Denver have successfully pro­vided students with a diversity of educational opportunities. In addi­tion, the Auraria Higher Education Center Board and its staff have done a good job of providing non-academic services. (However) Achieving this

interest for carrying the $49,000 debt.

According to Jim V anderhye, MSC Vice President for Business and Finance, the new credit agreement means one less headache for MSC, because the school was having to go off campus to get its printing work done

"Our routine was interrupted, and when one's routine is interrupted things can be difficult," Vanderhye said. "We are now back tising the ser­vices at Auraria."

A January 16 memo from Jim Schoemer, Deputy Executive Direc­tor of AHEC, establishes the actual amount of credit available to MSC for the coming year as $83,270.

Audit Targets CamTJUS Probkms campus uses space more effi­ciently than any other campus in Colorado, a review should be made to determine how that space can be used even more efficiently.

conltnued from page l goal is the result of efforts by dedicated people on the Auraria Campus and not the existing organizational structure." The report concludes that consolidation or merger are "workable alternatives" to the "existing inefficiencies" on cam­pus.

Merger was the hot topic of the evening, as both the MSC and the UCO governing boards told the legislature that they felt they would be the logical choice for a controlling

entity over a consolidated or merged campus.

"The only (solution) that is prac­tical is consolidation," said Regent's President Peter Dietze. "We -hope that the legislature will act on these suggestions."

However, Irene Sweetkind, Vice Chair for the Trustees said that, even though the Trustees oppose con­solidation or merger, "The Trustees already have experience governing colleges with multiple roles," and would be the logical choice for a governing board if the campus should merge.

Among the recommendations . of the auditors if the governing structure of Auraria is not changed were: • That the three governing

boards come to an agreement on how to handle disputes over shared funding for the Auraria Library.

• That a single board or commit­tee be given responsibility for

. managing the campus, either through mediation, consolida­tion, or merger.

• That the UCO School of Music either be abolished or altered so that it does not compete with the MSC school of music.

• That UCO ensures it does not discriminate agains MSC transfer students.

• That the Colorado Commission on Higher Education review programs at all three schools for redundancy.

• That cross-registration be con­tinued, and that UCO better

Virus Immunization Urged Concerned by outbreaks of

measles and rubella on college campuses throughout the country, the Colorado Department of Health is recommending that colleges and universities in the state set up immunization programs, and even require proof of immunization as a condition of registr~on.

In a letter to MSC President Fontera, Health Department Direc­tor Dr. Thomas Vernon warned that "more than half' of the measles cases reported in the first six months of 1983 originated on college campuses.

The letter was apparently sent at the prompting of the U.S. Public Health Service which, along with the American College Health Association, is urging proof of immunization from registering students.

In his December 7 letter to Fontera, Vernon said the health department would provide free vac­cine to schools wishing to set up an immunization program.

Vernon estimated that as many as 20 percent of students in the tradi­tional 17 -25 age bracket could be susceptible.

The immunization such students

received in the 1960s is apparently no guarantee against contracting the highly-contagious disease.

According to Dr. MarJeanne Collins, head of the American Col­lege Health Association's immuniza­tion program, vaccine used in the 1960's was a "killed" strain, which gives only a temporary immunity to measles. Only the "live" measles vac­cine provides permanent immunity to the disease.

The number of college students who have contracted the disease, although still small, has tripled sinct 1981. In response to the increase, both Stanford and the U. of Iowa are requiring records of immunization this spring. In addition, Notre Dame, Indiana, Illinois and Houston, among other schools, have begun immunization drives on campus.

According to Vernon, "(An out­b!eak) is of particular concern since measles disease is more serious in adults than in school children." Complications in adult measles include inner ear infections, pneumonia, and even brain swelling. D

"We have been studied con­stantly for five years. "

-AHEC Director Wartgow

• That AHEC consider leasing downtown office space as one answer to overcrowding.

Out of all the representatives of the various institutions, only AHEC was in agreement with all of the recom­mendations of the audit

However, AHEC Director Jerry Wartgow suggested that th.e legislature might do well to studv so­meone else, for a change; "We iave been studied constantly for five years" he said,"and (I think) it would be valid to apply these considerations to the entire system of higher educa­tion in Colorado."

And in its letter of response to the auditor's office, the Trustees of the Consortium complained that the audit team's recommendations do not follow from their findings. In their response to the question of gover­nance, they said:

"In our opinion, the case has not been made that the problems at Auraria are structural. In fact, the report substantiates that the educa­tional intent for Auraria ... is working. The audit report recommends fixin~ something that is not broken." O

February l, 198+

The Politics of Ma~ Starvation Reporter Dan Mathewson interviewed Ms. Lynora Williams on ]anurary 27th

at Park Hill United Methodist Church in Denver. Williams is a New York jour­nalist who has traveled extensively in Africa and noted first hand the seriousness of the Eritrean situation. Williams' presentation was sponsored by The Eritrean Relief Committee, Denver branch, P.O. 18866, Denver, 80218.

The Met. You are quoted in a recent Eritrean Relief Committee newsletter as saying, "Starvation is real and a direct outgrowth of the war which has lasted 22 years and the drought which is now in its seventh year!" Do you feel that it's possible to feed the hungry without being political? If so, how?

L.W.: That all depends on your definition of political. I think that the question of hunger throughout the world, not just in the Horn of Africa, one could say is political or one oculd say it is not political. There is underdevelopment in this world that has a political basis and I think that's certainly true of Eritrea, as a colony that has suffered e~tensive problems of under-development. In that sense, yes, they are very much political and have to be seen in that context. Taking it from another angle, you don't have to be political to say that hungry people should be fed. I think that's a moral stand and that people have a certain obligation to take that moral stand. Now how we get food into the hands of the people who need it is another question."

The Met: What are some of the difficulties confronting the ERC in a coun­try occupied by 80,000 Ethiopian troops?

L.W.: "Before I talk about the difficulties that ERC has encountered I'd like to talk about the successes, because I think ERC has done remarkably well, given its resources, in trying to get food to the people. It has a very highly developed system of distribution. Eritrea, as you may or may not know, is a very rugged country, populated largely by peasants, many of whom are nomadic. The ERC does not service the parts of the country under the control of the Ethiopian government, about 10 to 15 percent of the coun­try. It has been able to reach a phenomenal amount of the Eritrean people. Also one of the ERC's big tasks is to provide resources for the war refugees, not just people who are displaced because of the drought w\tJiin Eritr~a.

This also includes those who have been forced to leave their country. It has a whole network of services for the refugee population in the Sudan, including schools and medical care, who otherwise would have basically nothing because the Sudanese government is just not able to care for the thousands of refugees. ERC's biggest difficulty is to get increased aid from the interna­tional community.

The Met: How about the U.S. Government? Isn't it bascally just standing off?

L.W.: Yes. The United States, at this point, gives a very small amount of aid to the Ethiopian Government and no aid to the ERC.

The Met: Why does it give any aid to the Ethiopian Government when the Mengistu regime and its Dergue are waging war and causing devastation in Eritrea? Is that a paradox? O

Photo by Al Clayton The Family of Children

L.W.: There are hungry people in Ethiopia as well as in Eritrea. Although Eritrea is one of the hardest hit parts in the Horn of Africa, there are many hungry people in several provinces of Ethiopia, and I think that those people should receive food ~id (also) .

The Met: Does it get to them? L.W.: That's an open question and there have been many questions raised

as to the ability and willingness of the relief and rehabilitation agencies to distribute this aid. It certainly is not distributing food to the disputed parts of Eritrea. The military government does however make great claims of hav­ing distributed aid.

The Met: What can we do to help? L.W.: There is a very grave situation that exists in Eritrea right now. I

think that, a lot of times because the word Eritrea and information about the Eritrean struggle are not on the front page, many Americans, through no fault of their own, are not aware of the dimensions of the tood crisis in that part of the world. The first thing that we must do here is to learn more about the situation, to understand that there has been a war going on there for the past twenty-two years and that many innocent people are suffering as a result. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have been uprooted from their homes. These are peasants, whose closeness to the land is something many of us have no idea of, and once they are displaced from their homes their lives become a shambles. The Eritrean Reliet Association has done a tremendous job of helping those in need, but it is also in need of more resources. lthink that the ERC has a very special role to play. It faces a tremendous challenge because of the news blackout, the confusion, and just general lack of knowledge about the Horn of Africa. I hope that people will support ERC and listen to what it is saying. There's a reason why you don't hear about it, and we're here to tell you about it. O

There has been a lot of discussion recently over a proposal by Littleton Representative Paul Schauer to merge Metropolitan State College and the University of Northern Colorado with the University of Colorado in Boulder.

According to Schauer and the regents who support it, the move would make the management of Colorado higher education more efficient. Schauer explains his reasoning by saying, "We're looking at how we can deliver the necessary higher education to the State of Colorado in a more efficient, more organizationally manageable manner."

Opponents of the plan say the Auraria campus is already the state's most efficient, that it is little more than a scam by the regents to gather more undergraduate dollars to support CU's expensive postgraduate programs, and that absorption of MSC and UNC by CU would destroy the unique character of those schools.

Lost in the charges and countercharges of bureaucratic warfare, however, is the essential question: will education system reorganization better educate the people?

That is the reason for which institutions of higher learning exist: to educate the people. They do not exist for the managerial convenience of the state or its legions of legislators and institutional directors.

Yet Schauer does not even address the improvement of education for the people; he seeks only the deliverance to the state of a more efficient and organizationally manageable educational institution. If General Motors can reorganize for greater efficiency, he argues, why can't we?

His reasoning, unfortunately, 'is symptomatic of-the-management mentali­ty which has infected American leadership for more than 20 years.

The management mentality puts systemic satisfaction above the system's · basic mission. It seeks improvement in nothing but its internal efficiency. And always it is blind to problem solutions outside its systemic paradigm.

In so doing, management mentality .fails to address the issues with which it is tasked and catastrophic system failures are the result. One exampl~ of this mentality in action is the grizzly bear poulation of Yellowstone National Park. Since a Park Service "bear management" program was institued some years ago, the bear population has dropped precipitously and the majestic carnivore is now in danger of extinction in the lower 48 states. Similarly, it is the management mentality rife among the American officer corps that plac­ed 240 Marine clerks in a concentrated location for managerial effiency in Beirut, then protected them from a hostile foreign threat with guards "arm-

ed" with unloaded rifles. In both cases, systemic satisfaction took precedence over systemic mission. In both cases, the result was tragedy.

A similar situation faces Colorado education. The current debate focuses only on bureaucratic concerns; it is not exploring ways through whichJtigher learning in the 'State can be made better. If it continues, we· could face a tragedy of our own. '

Under their different leadership, the schools of Colorado have different functions and philosophies which meet different educational needs. Efficient management is certainly a laudable goal, but it must not be achieved at the expense of the educational process. If. the best education can come only through diversity and its accompanying management aggravation, then sd be it. For the purpose of education is teaching the people - not managing them. D

LErl,FJRS Exploring the Future of Auraria

· Eq.itor,

I've just come from a meeting with Diane McDonald, a member of the staff of the Interfaith Ministry at Auraria. The staff and board conduct and sponsor weekly ISSUES FORUMS at noon on Mondays. Religions of ~e Middle East will be the Feb. topic. April will be on substance abuse, addic­tion, etc. The March 5 and 12 forums are to be on higher education--issues, problems, trends, hopes, decisions, planning, etc.

Long before the report of the Legislative Audit Report the Board had decided these forums on higher education ought to focus on the future of Auraria. Our preliminary ideas was to invite t~e four executives at. Auraria to present briefly at one of these meetings and to respon~ t? quesh~ns . .

Since we are a forum and not an advocacy group, we hm1t our ob1ectives to exploring issues, turning up new informaton and considering alternatives. Our credibility rests on our impartiality and impartial management of the forum.

Diane will be asking appropriate representatives of the three student bodies and the three faculties to address the same topic on March 5th.

Diane has asked that I contact you to see if The METROPOLITAN would run a questionnaire in mid-February and gathered in by March 1st which would identify popular opinion and concerns and which would be one base for these two forums. Would you kindly get in touch with Diane on this mat­ter and take it from there? Thank you.

'Cordially,

Student-Takes 'Phantom Critic' to .Task Meb:opolitan Editor,

Today I noticed a letter to the editor entitled "REGISTRATION LEA YES STUDENT SCREAMING" authored by a University of Colorado graduate student. I would like to take exception to several of Ms. Donovan's derogatory remarks concerning MSC a·nd the people who work here, especially the all too often maligned departments of Registration, Admis­sions, and Records. Her letter is littered with sarcastic comments and, for the most part, unwarranted criticism of these folks.

She states: "I registered at MSC, my first mistake;" "the student population spends a major portion of their first couple of weeks screaming and waiting in line until the windows close." "It is not very considerate for the (business) offices to close at 5:00 or 5:30".

She also malc:es reference to a Metro employee's "rudeness" at closing her window at 5:06, then implies that this "rudeness" would qualify her to work in the same office.

It is well documented that registration is a very £ru'strating time for many students, as I'm sure it was for Ms. Donovan, but we would all do well to consider the flip side of the coin before malc:ing fools of ourselves by "scream-ing until the windows close." ·

Registration is also a very demanding time for the people who work jn Registration, Admissions, and Records. Imagine yourself besieged by over 15,000 students within the course of a week, each with his/her own problems and requests, each deserving your time and full attention, each demanding your most courteous and considerate responses, some frustrated, even rude. Imagine. 5:00, end of the day. After 8 hours of this, it's time to relax, un­wind, and go home. Is it rudeness to close your window and go home at 5:06? I think not.

Ms. Donovan further claims that Metro's manaJ!;ement is "inconsiderate"

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you and work with you on some of the programs and activities that we have been planning for the Spring.

There are five students working in the Student Acti~ities Office as Student Coordinators and have as their primary responsibility developing and im­plementing programs for you! Each of them are very anxious to hear from you about the types of programs and activities you want to see on this cam­pus.

for closing the business offices at 5:00 or 5:30. Here again the facts don't jive with her claims. The fact is MSC has a set operating budget. An increase in funds to the business office to enable them to operate more hours per day must mean a decrease in funds available for other purposes. Maybe we could terminate some faculty members and eliminate some classes. If enough classes were eliminated we could afford to keep the business offices open any

· number of hours ·per day. That would~ a very "considerate" move. Or. would it be? r ·

Why are we attending MSC? Is it for the sake of convenience or to obtain a quality education? I would think shorter business hours and a wider selec­tion of class off erin~ would be a more "considerate" option than the course advocated by Ms. Donovan, who further claims "the school lacks insight in­to ... students."

It seems that it is students with attitudes similar to those expressed by Ms. Donovan that the school lacks insight into; Students who limit their thought prooesses to the surface level of issues. Students who base their opinions and decisions primarily upon emotional imput rather than the facts, on their convenience rather than their goals. It is unfortunate that there exists among us all too many who stand ready, willing, and able to criticize and condemn without even examining the facts. "

Lance Dodd, Metro Student

Ed. Note: We got a phone call from someone who said he was Dr. Rhine from Communications and Theater at UCO. Dr. Rhine said UCD had no "Graduate School of Communications" and that to the best of his knowledge 'C. Donovan' doesn't exist. Just goes to show "nobody' would complai~ about registration.

the Coordinator for Clubs and Organizations and works with approximate~ ly 55 clubs helping them plan their activities, Tommy Sykes and Cha~a Davis will be responsible for planning concerts, dances,and any other special events sponsored by Student Activities. l(yle Burris is the Student Assistant Director responsible for assisting the coordinators in successfully implemen­ting their programs.

Each of the Coordinators has or will have a committee of volunteers that will be helping them in the development and implementation of their pro­grams and your help is greatly needed and wanted!

Student Activities as well as Student Government has as its primary objec­tive the representation of your needs and interests through a miriad of col­lege committees, boards and activities and all of us would like your input, ideas,and energies to create the types of programs you want.

If you would like more information about Student Activities, please call 629-2595, or come by the office. We are in the Student Center, Room 153 between the hours of 8:00-5:00 pm Monday through Friday.

Adult Educational· Planning Offered

MSC is offering a class that wilf help adults overcome problems commonly faced when returning to college.

The class, Adult Educational,Planning, will meet from 6 to 8:45 pm, Wednesdays, beginning Feb. 1, at Metro South, located at West Middle School, 5151 S. Holly St.

The course is designed to help adults returning to college or for those who are thinking of returning to college. Some of the topics to be explored include choosing new career directions, identifying educational programs that meet personal needs, managing change and balancing educational goals with work and family responsibilities.

Metro has developed a convenient system for registering and purchasing text books at the first class session. However, some cl~ fill quickly so early registration is suggested.

MSC OFFERS COURSE ON YOUTH GANGS

Youth Gangs-Organized Groups­Group Deviance-is a course that will begin Feb. 1, 1984 from 6 to 8 pm at Fort Warren Library, 2825 High St., Denver. Taught by Faye Rison, MSC Associate professor of Human Ser­vices, the class will focus on current issues confronting youth gangs and community interaction.'·

"There has been little research done or information available, about the problem of youth gangs, "said Rison. "This class will take a problem solving approach, searching for infor­mation and possible alternatives to gang organizations.,,

The course's format will be panel discussions involving community leaders, police, families, and gang members. The discussions will cover a varity of topics: subliminal attitudes of gang members, community reac­tions, understanding the reason for deviant (not the accepted norm) behavior, and examining the cost to society.

The .final objective of the class is to develop creative solutions that will help to cope with group deviance.

"Members often join youth gangs 6. because of self protection, or peer

pressure. Belonging to youth gangs is nothing more than deviant social behavor. Teenagers who belong to their own culture is another ~xample of this behavor."

'Restaraunt~ Tasteless, hut Flock to 'Duck Variations' by Bob Haas Special to T~ Metropolitan

• The Mercury Cafe, well-known bastion of grassroots theater (the best kind!) is currently showing two plays: The Restaurant by Dan Greenburg, and Dude Variations by David Mamet. Showtime is 7:30 pm, Saturday and Sun­day nights now through February 19.

The Restaurant makes us laugh at a typically ignorant and obnoxious American tourist couple. Alice is a wide-eyed and forgiving ethnocen­trist, and her husband Norman is an easily r.uffled and somewhat frighten- _ ed caricature of the nerd next door, no doubt as one-dimensional at home burning at the barbecue as he is here in this out of the way, mysteriously slightly from the comic absurd to the I Restaurant suffers mostly from the abandoned foreign restuarant. It is tragic. The bottom line is that Schorr pen of a man primarily -a writer of the character of Norman, so thinly has the lousy part in a mediocre play. short fiction and humorist essays. But substanced, as well as the predictable Director Joe Marshall merely smiled stay seated, as the ending holds an ef­dialogue that ladens the play with the and cocked a skeptical eyebrow in fective theatrical snap, and the se­stifling ho-hum of television situation response to an offered theory that a cond play is imur¢}y worth the price comedy. subtle complexity underlies the play, of admission.

purpose, the play follows the rules.

Earl P. Fatz" Emil Varec la wonderful, he is weak chinned, yet absolutely lovable as the rumpled old dreamer. His hair and facial expres­sions are a delight. Emil's benchmate, George S. Aronovitz is gruff, opi­nionated, and at times ruthless with Emil, yet Christian Killoran portrays the character so that bis soft side is readily apparent and believable. The two old men are fiesty, confused and concerned, each and at once spouting nihlistic despair and then, following a particularly heated engagement, each reafitms his own particular pen­chant for humanism. Says Emil, ..Nothing living can live alone." The two characters are at home with this fact, Emil having earlier conceded "as it is nice to have a friend" to

which George replies "(so) it is nice to be a friend".

And so the play works well, evok­ing thoughts of Edward Albee and Waiting for Godot. Mamet offers a variation from the standard, however, and that variation is ducks.

Ducks permeate the play, and due to the fine concentration of both ac­tors, for thirty or so minutes the in­side of the Mercury Cafe is absolutely filled with ducks. Ducks flying and swimming, filled with ducks being noble and being hunted, "Ducks with runny noses, stunted ducks hawking and coughing" as victims of air pollu­tion; and somehow, ducks and reflec­tions on ducks work as metaphor for the frustration and fears of our two every-old-men. The play, especially for those with a fondness for this par­ticular genre, should not be missed.

At Paramount Theater Jazz Concert

•

by Jim Bailey Entertainment Editor, The Metropolitan

Ten of jazz music's elder statesmen be-bopped their way into the hearts of nearly 2,000 people at the Para­mount theatre Friday evening, in an impressive concert presented by Dick and Maddie Gibson.

. ' " These gentlemen proved that they ' are some of the finest musicians alive

today. Phil Woods (alto sax) and Frank Rehak (trombone) were especially impressive. Wood's soaring

heartfelt 6r the music isn't good. It is. · r-------------­The guitar chords are clear and they blend perfectly with the strong dance beat.

This album is almost exclusively soulful singing, guitar chords, and dramatic rhythms. With each new song the focus shifts, leaving music that is anything but boring. Uh-huh displays remarkable diversity, while retaining the vital raunch of meat and potatoes rock and roll.

Side one starts off strong with Crumblin' Down. The drumming sets the fast pace, which is picked up by the infectious hand-clapping on Pink Houses. The Authority Song follows. Using a straight paraphrase of "I fought the law, and the law won'', the Authority Song ends up as the most danceable \une on Uh-huh.

The qnly two slow songs on the album are on side two. Starting off with a more relaxed, calypso beat, Mellencamp eventually shifts it into gear with Play Guitar, another one of the many hits on the album.

The electric excitement continues through the next two songs, when suddenly the momentum comes to a grinding halt.

The last song on the album, Golden Gates, is the work's only dud. Cougar Mellencamp was ~ither trying to catch his breath or he fell asleep altogether.

Yet overall, the album is a thrill to hear. The beat is hard and heavy and the fast pace rarely lets up. It's a straightforward effort with no cogent comments made or pretended. In the spirit of Bob Seger and Bruce Springs­teen, J.C. Mellencamp is boogie-ing his way right to the top. Uh-huh! 0

rumbling to searing, piercing higher notes--all blended together with the fluid style Wood is famous for. Dick Gibson's good-fun insults towards Woods ("54-year old in a 74-year-old body, but boy can HE play ... ") add­ed fo the over-all merriment of the evening.

Rehak's soloing on "Georgia On My Mind" was about as slow and soulful as one can get. The sexy, ethereal trombone melted the ears of the au­dience. Drummer Gus Johnson and bassist Ray Brown k11pt a firm, but ljght and crlsp rhythm moving in the backgroun_d. Brown was very im-

pressive with his bass solo later in the program.

These musicians were joined by pianists Ralph Sutton and Jay "Hootie" McShann--the "last of the whorehouse piano players. " The two seasoned jazz veterans gave the en­thusiastic crowd a lesson in precise ragtime piano playing with their sparkling duets. McShann's warbling vocals provided for a nice diversion to the all-instrumental concert.

The Grinch's Guide

to Gastronomical Gratification

I'd like to wish Auraria students, faculty, and staff a hearty welcome back to the academic waltz-grind; I certainly hope this semester will be your best ever. However, a tight monetary budget--especially for those folks who pay rent and expenses--can really dictate one's college lifestyle. It's a good bet that next to rent, food bills can dish out the biggest abuse on one's bank ac­count.

Because of the recent saturation of Denver food-bars, you can visit a dif­ferent one each day of the week. The only rule is this: don't freeload. You can buy a couple bucks worth of beers or cocktails and eat enough food to last you all night, and no one will complain. Your belly won't growl, either.

In the Grinch's Guide to Gastronomical Gratification, I hope to direct the starving college student (and anyone else who might be interested) to the multitude of "freebie food-bars" throughout the metro benver area. Laugh if you will, big guy, but these free-food buffets can save you a lot of money, or help you out if you don't have much money to begin with. And the owners of these bars love the business, believe me.

My exhaustive research has taken me to many diverse places all over the Denver area. I am still on the prowl for more, because they are out there. Each week, I will give you my pick for the "feast of the week." which represents a top-of-the-line foodbar. If there are any pseudo-buffets to avoid, I will not hesitate to bring these places out in the open. Objectivity is shot down here; lousy food doesn't taste better, just because it's free. --And free gastronomical gratification is the name of this game, and you are the players ..

"Laugh if you will, but these free1ood buffets can save you a lot of money."

My pick for "feast of the week" is the disco-and -dine atmosphere of Thrills located at Leetsdale drive and Birch street in Glendale. This is quite.a coz5' place that is long on food items, but short on table and chairs; you have to arrive early to get a place to sit. (Standing up and eating is one of the most uncomfortable things one can do.) If you arrive after 4:30 pm on Fridays, forget it. However, Thrills buffet lasts all day Friday, from 11 am to 9 pm, with "two-fers" on draft beer, wine, and well drinks (3-7 pm the rest of the week).

The food itself is quite good, with one of the biggest selections around. My favorites were the BBQ chicken wings (simmered bayou style with just the right touch of hot sauce) and the chili, which was mangificent. Tlie other choices consisted of a fine potato salad (with just the right amount of mustard and spices), tasty spaghetti with meat sauce and parmesan cheese, hot dogs and chips, and fried chicken. (This is one of the first places I've been to that didn't have any cheeses . .. quite unusual.)

The fried ehicken was the only really unpalatable item on the buffet, because the crust tasted like deep-fried gravel. However, one bad item does not a lousy food-bar make. The buffet was well-stocked throughout the evening. Drink service was slow until it got busy, then it improved drastical­ly.

This buffet has to be one of the most popular in the area. When I left, it was around 7:30 pm Friday, and roughly 100 people were waiting to get in­

SPORTS '84 Roadrunners Looking Good

by Bill Helman Special to the Metropolitan

The 1984 season appears to be a promising one for the Roadrunners, as many talented players have been added to the returning members of last year's squad. Top returning pit­chers Bob Weber, jr. (2-6, 4.94 ERA in '83) and Jeff Opitz, sr. (2-5, 7.93 ERA in '83) will be aided by transfer Shaun Kerrick from Garden City Community College. Freshman recruits Steve Ciberay and Craig Bonoto, Lincoln High School, Larry Chamberlain, Adams City High School, and Phil Golesh, Holy Fami­ly High School,promise to give the team the extra impetus needed.

The team looks to be strongest in hitting. They should be led by retur­ning seniors Greg Isenhart (lB, .568 average, 11 RBI, 0 HR in Fall '83). Center-fielder Randy Hodges, second-baseman Shawn Hoben and catchers Jack Hanna and Wes Beauchere combined in the '83 Fall season to provide 48 RBis, 8 HRs and a .355 total B.A. and will probably do the same in Spring '84.

INDOOR TRACK Metropolitan State junior Travis

McKinley smashed his own MSC school record for the indoor 400 meters, taking first place at the Mountain Sky indoor track meet in Pocatello, Idaho, Saturday, January 21st.

Track coach Brian Janssen is thrill­ed but points out it's still early in the season. Later this year, given a top­quality track and a faster competiive field, Janssen believes McKinley could make a run at the NCAA indoor record.

SWIMMERS MORE THAN EQUAL

SWIMMING TEAM members Bet­sy Weber and Barb Bogner swam the 200 yard breast stroke for the men's team at UNC Friday. Competing amid taunts from male swimmers they took first and third respectively against the men. Ms Weber's winning time of 2:44.6 qualified her for the NAIA national meet.

The following highly-recruited additions should also add extra punch to this year's batting order: Keith Schultz, Lamar Community College; Mark Bryant, Arvada West High School; Dan Martinez, Pomona High School. There have also been several outstanding walk­on players who are pushing for star­ting positions.

Three or four players are talented enough that they will probably be scouted by major league ball clubs. Add to that an overall team hitting ability (reminiscent of the 1981 MSC team which led the entire nation with a .387 batting average), and the outlook for the squad is very pro­mising.

The 1984 team plans a spring break trip to St. Petersburg, Fla., to scrimmage minor league teams belonging to the Phillies, Cardinals, Pirates and Mets. The trip is the result of hard work and extensive fund raising by the players and coaches.

Hopefully the season firiale will be right here in Denver with MSC hosting the NAIA District 7 Cham­pionships in May.

The Metropolitan once again loses one of its staff to a "Pro" publication.

To alleviate the problem of non­existent funds, MSC Presi~ent Richard M. Fontera suggested that the CEC come to the aid of the team.

sion. The baseball players and coaches have been the labor force necessary to get the project under­way.

The ambitious group was able to get the cement foundation poured in November, just before the snow began. The next phase will be the construction of cinder block walls and will begin as soon as the weather permits.

The group is hoping to have the structures standing by February 25 for the team's opening home game.

This type of cooperative effort demonstrates a sense of school pride and the changing attitude of MSC students towards their campus and school. 0

Spike Robinson, tenor sax; and Barney Kessel, guitar. It's too bad that all of these musicians had to take turns soloing; it would have been a real hot concert if they could have played more as a group. But that is the beauty of an impromptu concert, to hear ten men who never played together before. Ooh the spontaneity of it all .. .

The only real dissappointment of the concert was the amplification of Barney Kessel's guitar. His technique

was impeccable, but too much bass in his amp made the sound muffled and hard to define during his solos.

These Gibson jazz concerts are becoming a legend in the Denver area. It's a good thing, because Denver is your basic jazz-starved metropolis. These fine concerts are certainlr an asset to Denver night life.

The next series of concerts will be March 16-17, with the fifth season Gibson finale May 11-12. 0

Hiring college grads is sqmething the Army has always done. And lately, we've been doing a lot more of it.

In fact, last year alone nearly 7,000 college grads chose to begin their future as Army officers.

Why? Some wanted the opportunity to develqp valuable leadership and manage­ment skills early in their career.

Others were impressed with the amount of responsibi1ity we give our officers starting out. And still more liked the idea of serving their country around the world.

Interested? Then you can start preparing for the job right now, with Army ROTC.

ROTC is a college program that trains you to become an Army officer: By helping you develop your leadership and manage·­ment ability. ·

Enrolling can benefit your immediate future, too. Through scholarships and other financial aid.
