Despite Beer Ban . ..

MSC Taps ,. Coors' Support

by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metrlipolftan

One of the hottest debates on the Auraria campus over the last five years has been whether Coors should be serv­ed in the Student Center.

Coors was originally banned from sale in the Student Center, which is stu­dent fee funded, in 1980 by the Student Facilities Policy Council.

That ban stood until April of 1983 when the SFPC rescinded it and com­missioned a student beer preference survey.

In May of last year, using the beer survey results as data, the Food Com­mittee of the SFPC recommended that George Killian's Red-a Coors pro­duct-be served in the Student Center.

But a week later, the SFPC voted down the recommendation and asked that the Mercantile, which is not stu­dent fee funded, pick up Killian's.

However, the motion which defeated the sale of Killian's was made by an ex­officio member, and SFPC Chairman Ken Cole issued a memo in November of last year, after which a new motion, which included the language ·~that Coors in the can be sold," was ratified by the SFPC.

But that motion was also made illegally, and a week later the SFPC voted to "maintain the statlis quo."

But the Coors issue may not be dead . The Golden based brewery announc­

ed last fall that it was donating $4,000 to MSC for the creation of the Coors Minority Basketball Scholarship.

Ambrose Slaughter and Kevin Tru­jillo were presented with the two $2,000 scholarships.

And although the sale of Coors in the Student Center was not a prerequisite for the brewery to donate the money, there is fear that the continuation of the

Although only here a few weeks, new MSC President Paul .Magelli has some very clear pictures of the school and its environment.

Magelli was selected as the school's executive on Dec. 7, of last year as one of two finalists, for the position vacated when MSC's former president, Richard M. Fontera, died.

During an interview on his first Fri­day in office-last week-he shared some plans and concerns, but, explain­ed he wasn't ready to reveal all of his ideas until he met with more of the faculty and staff.

One of Magelli's main concerns is the perception of MSC by those on, and off, campus.

"A lot of people are worried that Metropolitan State College isn't a household word," Magelli said. "They

feel it's the K-Mart of higher educa­tion."

The University of Houston, he said, is a better comparison. As Houston rapidly flourished a decade ago, so did the U of H. Magelli said he forsees a similar "qualitative growth at MSC as Denver continues to grow."

He warned, though, that low student morale can deter growth and added that-the college community should be proud of its extraordinary assets.

"A lot of people think we're the con­solation prize," Magelli said. "They come in and think they'll be here for a while and then transfer. For whatever reasons or circumstances they come to MSC apologetically saying, 'Well, I'm· just going to Metro but I'll be transferr­ing later.' We have to teach ourselves to develop pride."

MSC has all of the ingredients of a superb urban institution, according to Magelli, and he said it must be evident to others.

"Somebody must think we're pretty good because everybody wants us to be part of them. I doubt the University of Colorado would want us if we were so lousy," Magelli said.

He said the campus' inferiority com­plex has been, somewhat, self­generated.

"When you feel like you're not as good as others," he said," you compare yourself to more mature and better funded institutions."

There are very few colleges in America with a sole purpose of undergraduate education, Magelli said, which makes MSC a very rare institu­tion.

The school has been smothered, .. however, by the constant threats of

merger and the inconsistancy in leader­ship, said Magelli-the fifth president in eight years at MSC.

"Unfortunatly, this institution has had to live its life under the constant

,. threat of being absorbed or deminish­ed," Magelli said. "I've had lots of con­versations, not as much as I need or as many as I will have, but my sense right now is that there's no desire to merge this institution."

In addition to predicting that MSC ,. will survive the legislative battle over

higher education, he.also observed that a shared campus creates constant com­petition for space, dollars and students.

"Because of competition between and within departments we loose the

Magelli said all the problems he's seen are solvable.

"As long as we know we're not all that we can be it gives us an agenda of what we need to become in a public urban college," Magelli said.

For now-as his office remains clut­tered with unpacked boxes-Magelli has only a rough list for his external and internal agendas.

His external agenda focuses on pro­moting the school.

He said the common reaction is to look for complex answers to the ques­tion of "selling the school" but it seems simple to him.

"The external agenda includes building the relationship with the city; strong political foundation, strong social support and relate to them what programs are available," Magelli said. "Basically, organizing the community as a fundamental support group."

Magelli also wants to develop the alumni into an active promoting force.

"You have 124,000 people who've attended the school. These are impor­tant individuals to call on," he said. "All that potential is there to go after."

Final Proposal college governing boards, thus eliminating fighting between them, which critics contend is the main pro­blem.

Schauer said the bill will face opposi­tion and the politics in higher educa­tion will hurt the bill's chances.

Schauer is still looking for a co-sponsor for the bill. 0

Museum Offers Free Day _ The Children's Museum of Denver

will celebrate its first anniversary on • Friday, January 25 with a giant cake, a

complimentary piece of which will be given to all who join in the fun. Kids can bring their parents free all day and meet the furry mascot, "Nuzz", who will be present during the celebration.

, Celebrants will also get a glimpse of 13 remarkable photographs by Robert Koropp that have been installed as a

part of the Museum's permanent collec­tion. They range from conceptual imagery to whimsy, from food to fan­tasy and from motion to micrography.

The Museum can be reached by tak­ing I-25 to Exit 211 (23rd Avenue) and looking for the bright green and maroon building on the east side of I-25. Hours on Friday, January 25 are 2:00-5:00 P.M. D

But he doesn't exclude prospective students from the list of resources. He said recruting is a vital factor for higher education in the 1980s.

His internal agenda includes students, faculty and staff working together. . .

"We have to teach ourselves to develop pride," he said. "The planning process will help us get to where we're going."

He said the "nature of the institution is to establish a foundation, including a solid faculty, solid city (relationship) with solid support."

"The most important ingredient of the institution is the faculty," Magelli said. "Here you have an urban institu­tion with a young deeply committed faculty."

He said it's important to provide a security for the faculty.

"I'll be looking into the welfare of the facutly; salaries, benefits and academic needs," he said.

The faculty is~ Magelli said, one of the president's best resources. He said he needs them to accomplish the goals set for the school's growth.

I'll meet with students also to develop the agenda for the institution," he said. "I'll have what I call 'no agen­da' meetings every two weeks. That's where we get together and discuss

anything that needs to be worked on." Since he hasn't met with all of the

key faculty and staff, Magelli hasn't defined all of the areas of his 'agenda.' He does, however, know what he wants to offer the college community:

"What I want to be for MSC is a fair dealer-and a straight shooter.''

Head Basketball Coach Bob Ligouri further stressed the importance of the relationship between MSC and Coors.

projects manager for Coors, the brewery is not trying to buy its way on campus. However, the ban continua­tion may put a halt to-or at least slow down-Coors' involvement at Auraria.

"It's very important to note," Ligouri said, "that we approached Coors, Coors didn't approach us ... At no time was it ever suggested that Coors' involvement in this program was based on them being in the Mission."

Fuerborn noted a donation of $1,500 in sports equipment, $500 in the name of each of Auraria's three schools, made to the campus recreation department.

and we're just scratching the surface now of what we could have if they were in the Mission. I've been pretty suc­cessful working with Coors. They've been good to us." ·

Ligouri, as well as Charles Branch, dean of the MSC school of education, is hoping for the readmittance of Coors onto the Student Center.

"I was bitterly disappointed by the vote," Ligouri said. "Surprised? No, I wasn't surprised, I don't think the Coors people were surprised, but I was bitterly disappointed ... You can't even put an estimate on the number of hours spent, not only by us, but by Coors as well. A lot of people out there stuck their necks out for us."

But the AFL-CIO and MECHA, the Chicano student organization on cam­pus, have lobbied long and hard to keep Coors from being sold in the Stu­dent Center.

According to College Press Service, however, there are only three colleges which are still enforcing the 17-year­old boycott of Coors.-which originally ~tarted at the University of Colorado in 1968.

For the time being, though, the ban on the Student Center sale of Coors will remain in effect.

According to SFPC Chairman Cole, it would take a vote of two-thirds of the SFPC members to reopen the issue before the end of the fiscal year June 30.

The AFL-CIO has long alleged that Coors discriminated in its hiring prac­tices, and that it was unfair to require employees to take lie-detector tests.

MECHA officials could not be reach-ed for comment this week. 0

Irish Debaters On The Way

The 1985 winners of the Irish Times debating competition will be appearing on our campus the 27th of March to debate the Metro debaters on one of the following three propositions: (1) This house favors a unification of Ireland as being in the best interests of the western hemisphere; (2) This house supports the parliamentary form of government as superior to the presidential form; (3) This house believes that American education has failed in its goals. A deci­sion has yet to be made as to what pro­position .will be debated.

Any full time Metro student is eligi­ble for the tryouts to debate against the Irish debaters. Please contact Gary H. Holbrook, Director of the Irish Debate Series, (629-3153 or 629-3033), before February 8 if you are interested in competing against the Irish debaters.

This will be the 6th year that Metropolitan State College has hosted the champion Irish debaters. This series is made possible by the MSC Lecture Series, the Colorado Consortium of State Colleges, and the Friends of the Irish Debate Series. 0

College Entrance Exam Scores Down ·Again by Susan Skorupa Special to The Metropolitan

(CPS)-Large families, working moth~rs and bad high schools are to blame for the decline in college entrance exam scores,, two new studies assert.

Studies over the years, however, have traced the long decline in average scores-Scholastic Aptitude Test scores fell yearly since 1963 before beginning to level off in 1982-to 60s social upheaval, television, education budget cuts, lax school discipline and even atmospheric nuclear testing.

But people would do better to blame the large families popular in the 50' s for the drops in SAT and ACT, American College Testing, scores, Loyola College of Baltimore researcher Richard Franke contended in a report released over the holidays. .

"Small children learn better from their parents, not .from siblings," he explains. "Lots of kids in a family dilute the effect of the stimulation by the parents."

Franke claims SAT scores of siblings in large families, where children receive less individual personal atten­tion, can drop an average of 20 points per child.

While Education Testing Service researcher William Fetters agrees

Large Families, Bad-Schools Blamed Franke's study probably is accurate, a new ETS survey pins the low scores on decreasec:I emphasis on academics among h ... :.1 ;)chool seniors.

High dropout rates and students' displeasure with their schools' academic quality "suggest that the major factor contributing to test score decline was a decreased academic emphasis in the educational process," the study says.

Franke's study is an offshoot of Pniversity of Mich~gan Professor

last summer looked at the impact bet­ween parents and kids."

Franke found the projected rise in test scores caused by smaller families

-was countered by decreased parent­child contact as more women entered the work force.

"Working mothers (are) secondary factors in determining test scores," Franke contends. "It explains almost all variance in the decline and in the subsequent rise."

Franke ..discounts the effects of separation and divorce on the scores

"The U.S. history of this century is a history of substan­tial intellectual gains. The decline of college entrance exam scores is only a blip in the perspective of the twen­tieth century."

Robert Zajonc's 1976 report, which tied the disappointing test"'SCores to family ·size. Zajonc predicted scores would stabilize, then rise in the early 80s when children of the 1960s smaller families hit college age.

When Zajonc's expected 25 point rise in 1984 test scores turned out to be only four points, Franke began examin­ing the minimal increase.

"I cast around for things that would affect test scores," he says. "I went back to (Zajonc's) th~ry to get effects, and

because "remarriage also has risen." But as the percentage of working

mothers shot from 10 percent in 1968 to nearly 40 percent in 1984, more child.ten received only minimal adult attention, he notes.

"Children with two working parents face the same problems as children from large families, and with the same results: lower college test scores," Franke says.

The ETS study, based on National Center for Education Statistics research

begun in 1972 which tracked high school students' curriculum choices and achievement test scores, recommends schools try to raise test scores by improving academic standards, but not at the expense of programs for disad­vantaged students, researchers stress.

But the study ignored 1984's improv­ed scores, although Fetters says a cur­rent ETS draft proposal credits a "little upturn in the amount of homework" for the slight score increases.

Despite Fetters' and Franke's research, many experts remain uncon­vinced by study conclusions about

. either test score declines or the 1984 revival.

"We don't absolutely know why scores have risen," comments George H. Hanford, president of the College Board, which administers the SAT.

"It's naive to conclude in the context of the decline," he adds, "that national attention to the quality of education is no longer necessary."

But Franke argues educators should look at the test score decline in "the broader perspective of intellectual incline."

"The U.S. history of this century is a history of substantial intellectual gains," he adds. "The decline of college entrance exam scores is only a blip in the perspective of the twentieth century." D

So~ Seai-ching In A Dark Age # •

Word for Word BY KEITH LEVISE

P assing admendments and bombing clinics won't stop it, but a dose of compassion, coupled with scientific inquiry, could make a difference.

Many people are under the impression that abortion is a simple question-either a woman says no and thereby proves herself a saJnt, or she_ says yes and proves she's a sin­ner. Some would like to send the "sinners" to prison.

"For the soul, there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been does the soql ever cease to be. The soul is un­born, eternal, ever-existing, undying, and primeval. The soul is not slain when the body is slain."

,As a society, we need to find clear answers to what we call life. It's not good enough to claim a woman is a murderer because she aborts a fetus.

Fanatical people display pictures a fetus moving in the womb and say it's proof that the object is a human being-taking for granted, of course, that it has a soul. Yet, if movement in the womb was evidence of a soul, we'd all be

What the pro-choice/ anti-abortion issue really proves is that in matter of life and death-human life and human death-we're living in a dark age.

As human beings, we 11either know from whence we arrived, nor where we are going, and until we get around to understanding this business of an eternal soul, the question of abortion should remain a private affair.

Relevant is the fact that no one (including the Supreme Court) can determine at what point a living fetus becomes a human being.

Historically, all our earthly notions of humanity are tied to the presence of the soul. The soul is our essence; but from where and when does it arrive?

Pregnant women, who, for one reason or another, aren't prepared to accept a child into their life, are wonderi.ng whether the-fetus is really a person or not. Does the unborn life possess a soul? If they knew the answer-one way or another-their decision would be many time easier. Because they are not certain, the decision is most often difficult and painful. The decision to have an abortion, always brings tears.

- Bhagavad-gita

vegetarians! The pregnant sheep also carries a fetus that moves, is sensitive to light and sound, and would suck it's thumb if it had one-but we deny that it has ~ soul, which we must do if we intend to eat-it.

Who knows at what point the soul or spirit enters the body? There is wide, anciently rooted disagreement in this matter. Some religions suggest the soul arrives in the sperm-on the way to conception. Others say it's the moment of conception. Some believe the soul hovers near the prospective mother and chooses it's own time to enter the fetus. Maybe a minute after conception, perhaps a mo­ment before birth~maybe not at all. Phenomena such as still births and crib deaths, which we know little about, may be related somehow to the sudden ar-rival or departure of the soul. ·

One thing's for sure. We need answers, good answers, to this business of life. Those answers don't include victimizing pregnant women, making them feel like criminals on top of the troubles they are facing. These people need compassion and understanding. They need love and they need help. O

·custody Changes Christmas Christmas joy is best

remembe.red by ripped wrapping pa.I?er and

p cate gifts in toda)r's multiple family society.

It all centers around the rip and the-duplicate.

When husband and wife rip up the marriage license and find a new spouse they get a duplicate family deal. And the children born in the first marriage gain a whole new set of gift giving relatives, all eager to earn the child's love.

These multiple Christmas scenes can be full of interesting power plays and mind games. Let's follow the children of a broken family through a make-believe Christmas and see what happens.

The first Christmas is -~ith bad and his new Wife. The kids-get a slew of presents because Dad wants to let Iris ex know how great he's doing sfoce dumping her.

Next the kids go to their Mom's place where her and the new Pop lavish presents on them. The kids are subtly urged to tell Dad's parents how neat Mom is when Christmas three is at Grandparents one. ·

You see, Mom's first in-laws never liked her and said she was selfish. When her kids have Christmas at the ex-in-laws' Mom's unselfishness will burst forth from the suitcase stuffed with Go~ts and Cabbage Patch wardrobes she sends ·along.

Christmas four is with Grandparents two, three days after the virgin birth. This time it's Mom's parents who naturally didn't like Dad because~ oh let's say he wasn't practical enough. The Grandparent's message is clear when they send the kids home with a science experiment kit and junior executive cassette tapes.

The rubberized kiddie 35rnm camera Dad sent over to vindicate his impractical reputation only made things worse.

It was found mysteriously submerged in the toilet after Grandpa had a denture adjustment to make. Damn thing wasn't even water tight.

Christmas five is with Grandfolks three, Dad's new wife's parents, four days after the holiday. This time Dad only lets the children bring one gift so the new in­laws won't think his kids are brats.

You see, her parents thought it was blind of her to marry a divorced man with kids. Now they feel bad because their daughter is so happy with her new family. To make it up they horde gifts and goodies on the children.

By now the kids can tell what their gift is by its smell from across the room.

They have learned to control the adults by their reaction to presents.

A positive response is like a warm blanket to unsure new relatives, A negative response can make new relatives stammer miserably for their incompetent gift choice.

Children grow catlike as they toy with cripplfoid mouse relatives. And like cats, they tire easily of the game. Bored ingraditude becomes the reaction to ribboris and bows.

·The disappointed relatives are only slightly relieved by the well rehearsed round of kisses after the tearing and wadding up is over.

Christmas six is at Grandparents four, so far after it's -closer to the resurrection than .the birth of Jesus. · ·

The brown Christmas tree stands in the corner with no lights on it because of the fire hazard. A few strands of tinsel dangle above the remaining gifts. A plugged-in vacuum cleaner stands next to the tree in wait of.the hardiest needles stiU,holding Oh Tannenbaum.

Since Grandparents four don't have any grandchildren from their timid only son, who married Mom, they treat the kids as their own.

By now the children are so bored with the power struggle, not to mention duplicate of duplicate gifts, they get scolded for not showing appreciation. Poor Grandparents four only get a distant thanks for their money.

Imagine how complicated Christmas is for the children of double and triple divorcees. Grandparents 12 would still have presents under the Fourth of July fireworks.

By then the kiddie gift craze of last Christmas would be long gone. Their offer­ings would be met with a humph.

It's exciting though, an upwardly mobile society with the freedom to marry and buy what and whom it wants. -Thank God for Christmas and the opportunity to buy the love we didn't have time to give because success cannot be interfered with.

It's almost funny that Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, who preached giving up worldly possessions to follow him as a child.

Please come to see our Roadrunners play. We have a great basketball team in need of great fans . We're getting great PR for our school. And, hey! It's fun and rowdy, college style. Tonight we have a TV game against our arch-enemies from Regis. Come on out to the Auditorium Arena at 13th and Champa. The Women's B-ball team starts at 5:30 and the Men's team starts at 7:30. Be there or be a cube . Get a ticket from student government and win a nice door prize.

A warm welcome to Dr. Paul Magelli,.. our new President. And farewell and thank you to Dr. Brage Golding, who goes back to his retirement after a few months of keeping this school from falling apart.

Student Government would like to know why Dr. Ken Rager was rooting against his bread and butter at the DU game? We know it's his alma mater, but shouldn't our faculty be setting a "proper" example for us "kids."

Question of the week: What academic dean owns more blue kazoos than any other academic dean? If we can only get Dr. Magelli to play a kazoo at the basketball games then the MSC Kazootlieirs will be able to clean out their inven­tory of kazoos in the political scramble to keep up. Dr. Charles Branch is the leader of the pack, but I forgot how many kazoos he has bought. It's about one kazoo for each suit.

Our big issue is the reorganization of higher education. We haven't seen the proposed legislation yet. But, what worries us is that UCD may lose its Masters Degree programs. If that happens, we'll have two four year schools in the same place and one of them will probably go away. Our fight then will be to ensure that whatever is left serves the needs of the community as MSC does now. And that might as well be MSC. The way you can help is for you, your friends and family to let your representatives in the Statehouse know how you feel.

I hope you all have a fun productive semester. If you run into the Prince of Darkness, slap his head! -Dave Sutherland

~ig Country Improves In New Alhtim by Tom Smith Reporter, The Metropolitan

"Steeltown," Big Country's second album, will help. move the band into the limelight of rock and toll. With the same lineup of musicians, Big Country bas produced an album that is much better than their debut album.

"Steeltown" does not have the monotonous melodies of "Big Country," the self-titled debut album. Gone also is the over-worked and redundant lyrics of the first album.

All the lyrics on "Steeltown" are written by Stuart Adamson; many are political or soul-searching in nature.

In the song "East of Eden," Adamson writes about his conscience being in a state of turmoil. "I looked west in search of freedom and I saw slavery. I looked east in search of answers and I saw misery."

He is writing about the fact that no one has the answers to the world pro­blems. His conclusion is not to worry. "Somedays I just don't worry. I let it walk through me. Somedays I wal1c into the very depths of me, so out here to the East of Eden I let my conscience be."

Along with much improved lyrics, age h1!5 also brought a much improved musical sound.

Adamson writes the lyrics, plays guitar and sings vocals. His vocals are much more polished than on the debut album, and are much easier to listen to and are mixed better. Before, his vocals

TIMOTHY HUTTON CAPTURES NEW YORK CITY

, ~ IN "TURK 182 ! " Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton plays a very new kind of hero in "Turk 182!" As the fighting mad, hip and resourceful Jimmy Lynch, he sets out to prove you can battle City Hall to right a wrong. His older brother, a firefighter, is injured while saving a child from a burning tenement. But since he was off-duty and having a drink in the local bar, an uncaring city bureaucracy has refused him a pension.

Crusader Excites City When the mayor is too busy running for re-election to hear his case, Jim-

TIMOTHY HUTTON fright) is Jimmy Lynch and ROBERT URICH (center) is his big brother Terry in this rousing adventure-dra1na.- - - - - - - - • - • - - • •

seemed to be a separate p~ of the song.

Another song that displays Big Coun­try's improved talent is "Where the Rose is Sown." Mark Brezezicki starts out the song with a military beat on the drums and Adamson and Bruce Watson also do some fast guitar work. ·

The song is about people going to war. "Sons of men who stand like gods, we give life to feed the cause and run to ground our heathen foe."

The song praises those who go to war. "Take the vow I know it's right. Praise the flag the good fight. We're at war I'm on my way, we will win why do I pray.''

TIMOTHY HUTTON stars in "TURK 182!" as Jimmy 1..ynch, a young man whose crusade to redeem his brother's reputation rallies an entire city to his side.

my Lynch takes matters into his own hands. Using only his wits, Jimmy sets out to prove that you can fight City Hall, and the entire city rallies behind the mysterious crusader known as Turk 182.

Hutton proves riveting as Jimmy Lynch, a budding artist pushed into action to fight for his brother's life-and justice. Recently starring with Sean Penn and Lori Singer in "The Falcon and the Snowman", Hutton· has followed his Oscar-win­ning debut in "Ordinary People" with extraordinary performances in films such as "Taps", "Daniel" and "Iceman".

Joining Hutton in this exciting ur­ban adventure are Robert Urich, Kim Cattrall, Robert Culp, Darren McGavin and Peter Boyle.

The lyrics say that war ·is not fun but is a necessary evil for freedom. "I wait here in this hole, playing poker with my soul. I hold the rifle close to me, it light the way to keep me free."

Tony Butler helps out on vocals on this song and most of the others. He also plays bass on the whole album. He does not really stand out on the album, nor did he when the band visited the Rainbow Music Hall last year.

The group did put on a good show until the very end. For a second encore they came out and played the big hit from their debut album, the title cut, ··Big Country."

The only problem with this is that

they had already played the song earlier in the show.

Big Country finished the tour that brought them to Denver and went back to the studio to produce "Steeltown/'

Butler talked to a reporter from Universal Press Syndicate about studio work. "There was a wealth of ideas waiting to come out, and when we went to rehearse in Scotland, it was just a matter of putting the ideas on. paper and sorting them out," he said.

Only a few of the songs on "Steeltown" have the sound of the first album. Many have a new and more professional sound.

"You always hear those stories about groups who do really well on their first album and come a bit unstuck on their second," Butler said.

"We were determined not to let that happen," he said.

The band has found a new sound that fits them well. They are not trying to imitate the techno-pop sound that is coming out of most of Europe. But are v. becoming more of a rock and roll type band.

With a second album out it is back to touring for the band.

"It's a bit weird to think that as soon as the record's finished, we're going to be on the road for the next year and a ' · half," Butler said.

It is unknown whether the band will stop in Denver again. If they do, it will be a good show to catch.

"Steeltown" is also a good catch for those looking for a good buy for their J . entertainment dollars. 0

FEBRUARY MEANS "MISCHIEF" FOR MOVIEGOERS Doug McKeon is burning up-he's getting dangerously close to college without hitting a "home run" with any girl, much less Kelly Preston, the cutest one in the class. Let's face it-it's the 1950's, and Doug would settle for a "single". That is, until big city buddy (and screen newcom­er) Chris Nash arrives at school and bets that he can help Doug hit a grand slam.

Fandango Humorous Look At Friends, Last Bash

~ -

by Tom Deppe Entertainment Editor, The Metropolitan

One of the pains of growing up is leaving that group of friends which has

. -sustained you through those trying ' ' years and setting out on your own.

Fandango is director/writer Kevin Reynolds' cinematic tribute to that camaraderie of youth that is all too soon lost when one venti.lres out in the real world.

- Fandango's five main characters, collectively known as the "Groovers" have come to the end of' their college days in Texas during the summer of 71'. Gardner and Kenneth have received draft .notices, Phil will be commission­ed a lieutenant in the Army, Dorman is

·going into the ministry and Lester is condemned to become an accountant.

The opening scene . has everyone celebrating at a drunken gradua­tion/ bachelor party for Kenneth, who proceeds to announce that the wedding

•is off because of his draft notice. What better way to celebrate the news and changes than to have the Groovers go on a final adventure to be remembered for posterity. .

As the ringleader of the group, Gard­ner (Kevin Costner) talks the reluctant

•Phil (Judd Nelson) into the use of his aged Cadillac de Ville for a farewell jaunt across the Texas plains down to the border to dig up Dom, the symbol of the Groovers' friendship. '

Anybody who has ever gone on a ~beer-soaked, cross-country jaunt will

be able to relate to the drinking, puking and mooning antics of the Groovers as they go off on the quest for Dom. However, Reynolds is not content to let Fandango move along strictly as an "Animal House" on wheels.

.:. He takes a small-town encounter with two young girls,whose idea of fun is to set fireworks off in a cemetery, and

turns it into an allegorical battle scene which is made all the more effective when Gardner and Kenneth come face­to-face with the tombstone of someone who has been killed in Vietnam-a sobering reminder of what may lie just around the corner for the two of them.

Fandango's final wedding scene allews Reynolds to turn a Texas prairie town into something that resembles a Currier and Ives print that has come to life as the Groovers conclude their fan­dango and go their separate ways.

The cast of Fandango is largely a group of unknowns. In his role as Gard­ner Barnes, Kevin Costner,· somewhat resembles a young Jack Nicholson with his broken sunglasses, torn tuxedo and sly, irreverent manner as he leads the Groovers on their Texas odyssey.

The only actor with a recognizable last name is Sam Robards, portraying KeJ10eth W agg.ener, whose cancelled wedding provides the catalyst for the group's last fling. Unfortunately, Robards character does little more than look soulful and moan about how he "really blew it" by running out on his wedding.

Anyone who has ever been the stick­in-the-mud, voice of reason in a group of people bent on mindless adventure will identify with Judd Nelson's character of Phil Hicks, the ROTC "weenie" whose car is the Groovers' means of transportation on their last bash.

Plucked out of an Austin, Texas 7 -Eleven parking lot by Reynolds in a desperate attempt to fill the role of_ Dorman, the theology student, Chuck Bush plays Dorman as the Groovers' 6'7", 365-pound, Moses-like combina­tion of spiritual guru and muscleman.

Rounding out the Groovers is Lester Griffin, played by Brian Cesak. Lester spends most of his time sleeping off the group~s final bash and being CaIJ"ied

Sepulchre

Goodbye my chair old empty friend. }_'" ou have faced me often across a full table set for a silent meal. When I was jive, and painted you blue without help you sat steady, did not need the folded matchbook supporting that splintered leg.

There was a grey, water washed sky the time you broke." A white shriek cut the angry night shroud and split a tall tree in the forest. A wailing woman whose child was stolen lamented the birth of center wood. You shattered on the floor, scattered, sticks into silence.

around by Dorman. His state of lethargy is explained away because "He's going to spend the rest of his life as an accountant, for God's sake."

The movie's other memorable character is Truman Sparks, the wigged-out Viet vet, played by Marvin J. Mcintyre, who runs the Pecos Parachute School where Phil takes up the group's challenge to prove he is not a "weenie" and learns to skydive under Truman's stoned superv1s1on.

In his debut as a· writer/director, Kevin Reynolds has created in Fan­dango a fairly entertaining comedy that you can pull out of whatever meaning you. want.

The MSC men's basketball program is now midway through its first season. It's time to take a close, in-depth look at this team and the program that has been raising some eyes around campus and the state:

The team came out quick, winnng its first five games. But then the Roadru~ ners dropped six of their next seven.

The meri's team is at 7-6. For starters, that is above 500, better than a lot of people would have guessed they would be at the season's midpoint.

Of the six losses, the average margin of defeat is only four points. Who would of ·thought Metro State, a first year team, would come just six seconds and a controversial decision away from stopping the nation's longest home court winning streak, that of Denver University's.

Or consider that Mesa, who won the division last year, would have to go into overtime to beat MSC.

It is also interesting to note that when a team does beat Metro they usually consider it a "Big Win."

The school has reaped publicity from the program. All three of the major TV networks in Denver run the scores of the games and often video highlights as well. Both major newspapers in Denver cover the games, thus the people out­side of this campus are beginning ta realize we are here.

Tonight the men will play host to the Regis Rangers at the Auditorium Arena. The game will also be televised on KRMA-TV channel 6.

But the big question is where is the program going now?

When MSC takes to the court tonight against Regis, the Rangers will be star­ting five seniors. As for MSC, there is not a single senior on the entire squad.

Head coach Bob Ligouri said as his team gains experience t~is year, nex~ year they should be blowing out teams that they are losing to by one or two points now.

Ligouri said be couldn't be more pleased with the effort the men are put­ting out both on and off the court. He explained bow each player is represen­ting MSG very well by going out into the community and helping others.

Of the 13 games thus far, Ligouri said there have been only three games where everyone has been healthy.

Ligouri feels with the help of a cou; ple of good players next year, the team could be ranked nationally.

But here's where problems begin. To begin with, Bob Ligouri is only on a one year contract. In other words who knows who next year's coach will be.

So as MSC hopes to establish a major spectator sport, a goal of the late MSC President Fontera, we might just be taking a step backwards and going baclc to the beginning for next year.

When asked about recruiting for next season, Ligouri said it is going fine other than the fact that he doesn't

Channel 6-Courtside KRMA-TV Channel 6 will air its first

local sports production in recent years titled Metro Basketball, when they carry same night, prime time coverage of the Metropolitan State College vs. Regis College men's basketball game at 9 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23. The game will be taped delayed from its 7 :30 p.m. start at the Denver Auditorium Arena. Game announcers are Larry Zimmer of KOA radio, and Irv Brown, KRXY.

Ron Salak, Program Director, said this is the first sports production KRMA has undertaken in his three and a half years, perhaps the first one ever. Metro Basketball is a co-production of Metropolitan State College, K~A-TV

· Channel 6, and.Mile Hi Cablevision of Denver, who will cablecast the pro­gram at 9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24, on Channel 3. This marks the first associa­tion of KRMA and Mile Hi. KRMA cur­rently airs European soccer and has broadcast a tape of a Colorado. Univer­sity vs. Kansas U. football game pro­duced in Lawrence, Kansas, making Metro Basketball a significant pro­gramming change from its usual non­sports fare.

"We are excited" to be bringing this local college basketball game to the Denver Community. It's the first meeting between the new basketball program at Metro State and Regis Col-
