·what you don't know could kill you, according to a panel of six MSC pro­fessors and an alumnus participating in the Nuclear Issues Forum at St. Caje­tan's Center last Thursday.

The panelists discussed issues includ­ing disarmament, a nuclear-weapons freeze, the historical impact of nuclear weapons, nuclear winter and nuclear myths.

Despite divergent topics and opin­ions, the panelists agreed that the most pressing problem is ignorance.

The forum, sponsored by MSC as part of Higher Education Week, was broadcast live on the Woody Paige Show on KNUS radio .

While Paige kept the four-hour-long debate moving, prodding the audience to question the panel and occasionally taking phone calls from listeners, he also battled to keep it focused on nuclear issues. Japanese internment during World War II was a popular digression.

The panel thrashed out the destruc­tive implications of nuclear war and kept returning to the need for educa­tion.

"If you think we live in a society with free thinking and free information, you need to think again because we don't," said Dr. Neils Schonbeck, asso­ciate professor of chemistry and coor­dinator of a inter-department series of classes dealing with nuclear dilemmas.

Schonbeck said the educational sys­tem is delinquent in creating critical thinkers.

Dr. Charles Angeletti, professor of history, agreed with Schonbeck's opinion.

"We produce students; I don't know that we always produce intelligent students," Angeletti said. "The mind set of American educators and stu­dents needs to change."

Paige said student apathy could be responsible for the lack of interest in courses dealing with nuclear issues, cit­ing the nearly empty St. Cajetan's Cen­ter as an example. But Ann Miller, MSC English instructor, disagreed.

"My students do a lot of writing around this issue," Miller said. "I do not find them apathetic. I do find them feeling helpless."

She said that government rhetoric is largely responsible for that feeling of helplessness.

"We call it double-speak or even nuke-speak," Miller said. "Nuclear exchange sounds like something nice; like an exchange of gifts. Truth is hidden."

Angeletti said that conceiving nuclear war as Armageddon and a result of

"God's will," is irrational, as is believ­ing in the potential for a limited nuclear war.

"We need to recognize these as myths and get on with living in reality," Ange­letti said.

Dr. Cedric Tarr, professor of politi-

cal science and the instructor of a course entitled "Nuclear Dilemmas: Arms Control," said education is needed to help clarify the miscon­ceptions.

"The world is full of contradictions,'' continued on page 4

ON CAMPUS Metro Instructors Address Nuclear Issues in Classes

Patricia E. Ingalls Reporter

Woody Paige, KNUS radio talk­show host, and a panel of MSC profes­sors broadcast four hours of discussion on nuclear issues from St. Cajetan's last Thursday. But the crowds stayed away in droves.

Five minutes before the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. broadcast was to begin, orange and yellow plastic chairs filled St. Cajetan's auditorium, devoid of peo­ple. Row after row of empty chairs reflected sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows.

KNUS technicians provided the only animation, scurrying around speakers, control boxes, spotlights and video cameras, plugging and unplugging wires as they went.

Onstage, behind two six-foot tables placed end to end, laden with six micro­phones on gooseneck stands and more control boxes and audio jacks, sat another technician, Paige, and the first round of five speakers. All wore head­sets, whispering last-minute tips among themselves, waiting for the promo to end and the show to begin.

"KNUS presents the man who always has something to say-Woody Paige," the prerecorded announcer said. Paige leaned forward toward his microphone and welcomed his listeners, his fore­arms planted on the table, his shoulders hunched.

Paige, 39, doesn't look like a sought­after writer and radio personality. His soft Southern drawl and laid-back style belie the clout he wields in journalistic circles. From appearances, he more resembles a good ole boy from Ten­nessee than a journalist.

For example, this day he was decked out in gray slacks, a multi-color, open­collar shirt, and white-and-black sad­dle oxfords, a tiny bit of a pooch hang­ing over his belt. His shaggy hair, curling slightly on the ends, wisped around his face and wire-rimmed glasses.

Not the image one might expect of a Denver Post columnist who's accus­tomed to fielding requests for free­lance articles from such nationally­known publications as Time, News­week, Sports Illustrated and The Sport­ing News, or who in 1983 was voted among the top five sports columnists in the country by the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

Nonetheless, the man who often says he tries not to take himself too seriously, even if his listeners and read­ers do, was addressing the serious topic of nuclear war.

"This should be the most compelling four hours that would be heard on Denver talk radio," Paige promised his listeners. "We're going to find out why we're only minutes away from mid­night."

The statement implying the ability of MSC President Paul Magelli to find enough financial support to build a sports complex was inappropriately attributed to Larry Ambrose.

By now, minutes into the broadcast, only five women sat in the audience. Five more people wandered in, as the speakers began presenting their views. (Related story page 1)

Those few audience members pos­sessed views of their own, however, and shared them in private interviews during broadcast breaks.

Two women sitting in the otherwise empty fifth row, for example, stayed the entire four hours, taking notes.

"We've been housewives for 20 years," Ginger Bilthus, 40, said, "and decided it was about time we got out into the world." Bilthus, an MSC stu­dent who has yet to declare a major, said she "dragged along" friend Cherie Norden, 38, to this forum and to the

course." "People should be thinking about this," said Almanzan, a student in a nuclear-dilemmas course taught by Dr. Niels Schonbeck, who spear­headed the forum. The specter of war is "a critical issue," he added.

Almanzan and his wife participated in a Rocky Flats encirclement protest two years ago. During the encircle­ment he felt he was "finally doing something positive," without resorting to radicalism or violence. And he said it brought attention to the issue.

'Tm not an outgoing person," Almanzan said, 'but I'm learning. I have to get more involved."

Involvement in the forum increased by the second hour-the audience was

South Africa Teach-In on the Auraria campus two weeks before.

"I love it," Norden said of the nuclear forum. (The speakers} obviously know what they're talking about-they have the facts."

When she first walked in, Norden said, she was for nuclear armament, but after listening to the dialogue, she reconsidered her stand.

"Now I see there are legitimate issues on both sides," she said. 'Tm begin­ning to tone down."

Another MSC student, Robert Almanzan, 35, a political science major, expressed chagrin over the meager turnout.

Tm pissed off that (the forum) wasn't better advertised," Almanzan said, his bushy black mustache twitching. "I wish there were more people here, of

up to 16. Most people sat alone, quiet and attentive, eyes front.

One woman, Lauren Carlton, 24, her hair captured in.a single braid dangling between her shoulder blades, munched on grapes while Paige expounded his views on nuclear winter. When the grapes were gone, she scooted her fanny forward, resting her ankles on the back of the chair in front of her. Carlton, a CCD biology education major, earlier had stepped up to the microphone and asked the panel why the U.S. continued to produce nuclear weapons.

Back in her seat, she assessed the forum, which she said she attended to learn more about both sides.

"Heid seems outnumbered," Carl­ton said, referring to Robin Heid, a 1981 MSC graduate and author of a

book satirizing the nuclear issue. He was the only speaker opposed to nuclear freeze. Carlton, herself, sup­ported nuclear freeze.

"We've got to think positive instead of aggressive or dog-eat-dog," she said. 'Tm an Army brat. I saw a lot of mis­takes happen growing up in the mili­tary."

She recalled one incident from her childhood in Hawaii when a practice bomb missed its target, narrowly missed a settlement and exploded in the ocean. As a result, she worries about possible malfunctions in com­puter-controlled nuclear warheads.

"We have to improve our fail-safe methods," she said. "We should not keep building nuclear weapons. I believe we can work toward world peace and think beyond war."

Formal presentations of students' views came from panel speakers them­selves. Both Dr. Charles Angeletti, MSC history professor, and English instructor Ann Miller· read statements composed by students in their nuclear­dilemma classes.

Angeletti had asked 20 students in his nuclear-history class to negotiate among themselves and write a consen­sus statement for him to read on the air. The exercise, he said, produced "the most animated discussion I'd seen in a long.time."

Their consensus stated people can make a difference through self-educa­tion and involvement, based on accu­rate, honest information. It also urged people to increase their involvement in the electoral process, if they want to accelerate the achievement of a grad­ual, bilateral disarmament.

Miller took a different approach with her English 101 students. She used a stream-of-conciousness writing exer­cise to encourage students to express their emotional responses to the words "nuclear, feeling, and apathy." She shared some of the writings with the radio audience.

"Don't tell me what I feel and what my peers feel," wrote one student. "My friends care, damn it l It makes me sad. Angry. Helpless. Not want to have children. Cry. Wonder if we really have a God."

"Escape-but where?" wrote another. "I feel like there is nothing I can do. I

Enrollment Caps May Limit Legislative Internships Tom Smith Reporter

Want to start your political career next semester? Sign up for Political Science 410 during mail-in registration to ensure a spot.

The legislative internship program offered through the Political Science Department, may be limited this Spring due to the enrollment cap.

The cap will cut off enrollment when a certain Full Time Equivalency · (FTE) has been reached.

Metro receives funds from the state Legislature for the number of student

hours taken, rather than the number of students enrolled. In effect the state is .limiting the number of hours that stu­dents, as a group, can take.

In the past, students took a leisurely attitude toward the internships, said Warren Weston, professor of political science and coordinator of the intern­ships on Capitol Hill.

Students would sign up for classes, then a few weeks into the semester, sign up for internships. At that time, West on would call the Legislature and place students in internships.

"We have been able to place every intern in the past," he said.

But with the enrollment cap, a stu-

dent who does not sign up during mail­in registration may not be able to add the internship later.

Political Science· 410 can be taken for 3 to 12 credit hours. Each 3 credits requires 10 hours of work a week for 16 weeks, Weston said.

Weston recommended that students take a 20 hour per week internship for 6 credits.

The internship program will place a student with either a state legislator or on a political campaign. Weston is concerned whether the students work­ing on a campaign will get practical experience. D

Metro lnstuctors Address Nuclear Issues in Classes continued from page 1

Tarr said. "That's one of the reasons for my course-to teach them how to think about (nuclear war) not what to think about it."

Ignorance can be used to aid nuclear proliferation, he said.

"There is an argument that too much realism will weaken the will to support (nuclear armament) ." But ignorance does more than just help those who want to build more bombs.

"High school students are being affected by growing up in a nation

threatened by nuclear war," said Dr. John David, associate professor of psy­chology. He said one-third of high school students believe the world will end and are deciding not to have child­ren. And they are avoiding careers that involve a great deal of time and study.

Robin Heid, author of an unpub­lished book entitled "Real Nations Don't Freeze Nukes," agreed that stu­dents' attitudes indicate lack of educa­tion on the issues. But contrary to others on the panel, he emphasized

that strength is the way to deter · aggression.

"The premise of deterence is to make the prospect of nuclear war intolerable to either side," Heid said.

"I don't know that disarmament works because no one respects you if you don't have the weapons. What we need to do is reduce the possibility of using those weapons."

He also brought up the economic infeasibility of freezing nuclear wea­pons. The United States has enough

It depends on the portion proportions of the pizza. If it's Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza-thick, crun­

technology and weapons, he said, but stifling the development of new tech­nology will damage the economy. He compared the weapons industry to a welfare system for the rich.

"(Freezing wages or productivity) has never worked economically," he said. "The Pentagon is the largest wel­fare state that we have."

Tarr added that the Soviet Union is in a similar position.

"They have their own military-indus­trial complex to support," Tarr said.

Dr. Michael Tang, director of inter­cultural programs at MSC, said a lack of communications between the United States and the Soviet Union damages relations between the two countries.

"I think there's mutual paranoia," Tang said. "When we deal with this issue of nuclear war, we're still think­ing in terms of World War I and World War II, only now the Russians are the bad guys and we're the good guys."

The way to dispel any myths cloud­ing the nuclear issue is through educa­tion, the panel again agreed.

"It provides the opportunity to think our way out of problems where once we started shooting," Heid said.

Schonbeck said developing a new national attitude through education is imperative.

"There's always a first time for every­thing," he said. "If we don't make this the first time, then it will be the last. Either we will jump into a new level of social understanding, or we will jump into extinction." D

"Our job (as instructors) on the cam-

pus, Miller said after the broadcast, "is I to help (students) explore these views and articulate them-to choose, to select. That's why I love teaching Eng-lish. It renews me to read (students' writings) .

"I know students are not apathetic," she continued. "What we call apathy is. like a defense. It's just what's on the surface. The acrononym for fear, after all, is "Forget Everything And Run."

Maybe Auraria students aren't apa­thetic about nuclear issues, but they weren't very visible at the forum. As j, Paige wrapped up the broadcast, say-ing it "shows we can do more with talk radio than we are now doing," the steps outside St. Cajetan's were as empty as the chairs.

Back in the 1960s, such a nuclear forum; complete with media cover­age, might have filled those steps and chairs with long-haired demonstrators staging a sit-in, carrying placards and playing protest songs on guitars.

But now, the only occupant on the building's concrete steps is a squirrel ·' sniffing out a snack of cracker crumbs among the cigarette butts. And he's keeping his opinions to himself. D

OPINION Admission Changes, Dulling the Leading_ Edge

Jett Conner

Just over a week ago, the trustees of the Consortiwn of State Colleges held a special meeting and did an unusual thing: They took the first step toward creating Colorado's newest, traditional four-year state colleg~. For the moment at least the new college will continue to be known as Metropolitan State College.

Such a move appears neither correct nor farsighted. Indeed, there is muc~ evidence to suggest that the last thing the people of Colorado need or want is another traditional institution of higher education to support.

Pressured heavily by numerous forces in the state Legislature ~ho have ?o~e to believe (wrongly, I think) that quality is merely a product of higher admission standards our trustees chose to reverse a 20-year-old policy and alter fundamen­tally the r~le and mission-and consequently the character-of of its largest and most successful college. ,

The trustee's action, in my view, was both precipitant and portentous. Here s w~. .

First, MSC may finally become a genuine candidate for me~ge.r with the University of Colorado at Denver. While there appears to be, at this time, only a handful of legislators who favor such an outcome, it is likely that merger talk with return in earnest as more people realize that MSC is moving into greater head-to-head competition with UCD.

The Auraria concept has made sense as long as three distinct institutions shared the same campus and AHEC remained content to be their landlord. But with AHEC vying to become a miniature regional transportation district, and MSC the newest traditional four-year state college, the likelihood of the Auraria experiment continuing seems remote.

And why not? What possible educational and economic sense does it make to maintain two under-funded, state-supported institutions of higher eduation-:­each competing for the same under-graduate students-on the same academic turf?

Second more and more evidence points to a diminishing pool of so-called traditionai college students. In fact, what growth there is in college-bound students is coming from exactly those populations that MSC has served so successfully for the last 20 years, the non-traditional students.

Recently, a great many MSC faculty and staff attended all-day workshops and heard an expert on trends in higher education, Dr. George Keller, proclaimed MSC to be one of the few "institutions of the future" poised to meet an "extra­ordinary shift ... a profound change in the demographic composition of this country." In short, the traditional college student of the future will not look so traditionhl. In states like Colorado, he or she will more likely be a minority, perhaps a recent Asian immigrant or a member of the fastest-growing college enrollment population in America-people over 50 years of age.

For 20 years now, MSC has perfected its role of providing a quality education for the non-traditional student. And it is ironic that at the very moment that this college stands, almost alone in this state, on the leading edge of educational change and innovation, its board of trustees decides to reverse course and compete harder and harder for fewer and fewer traditional students. Those proponents in our Legislature and elsewhere for the inequality of educational opportunity have won a great victory. But, as I see it, future students in Colorado will have lost a great opportunity.

Finally, there is this troublesome matter of quality. It is troublesome not only because it is hard to define, but ever harder to find. Will the trustees' actions guarantee higher quality at MSC? Not necessarily. Quality in education may be the current rage. Unfortunately, it's often the current sham. More often than not, "quality" is a code word for educational elitism, not educational excellence.

In a state that ranks by some measures close to the bottom in state funding for higher education, it is interesting to watch the Legislature press its colleges and universities to deliver a higher-quality education product. It is certainly under­standable that the trustees must finally bend against a legislature that shouts for tighter admissions standards while holding the purse. But it is a shame to watch the educational menu struggle to improve while the Legislature continues to walk the check.

I cannot help but notice or note, that while MSC hits the headlines because its board has decided to impose tougher admissions standards, the University of Colorado barely pulls off accreditation of its teacher-education program-and after a second try, at that. And what did our Commission of Higher Education try to do with MSC's teacher-education program this past summer? Why scrap it, of course!

Quality, indeed. I say the word, as used by certain members of public bodies in our state, has a hollow ring.

If greater competition with the "flagship" institution in our state, CU, is really the newest game in town, then let's be on with it. Hoist the standard and sound the battle cry:

OPINION ·Students Respond to Trustees

Trustees May Ruin Metro

Interview by Mike Grosskreuz Photography by Alec Pearce

Do you think Metro should implement admission standard& and will the Trus­tees of the Consortium of State Colleges' TWOposal to restrict admission of tradi­tional students by these standard& bene­fit the college?

John Katzenberger

Kevin Vaughan

The disturbing recommendation by the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges that Metropolitan State College-for the first time in its 22-year history-should impose admission requirements promises to forever alter the school and the way it serves the community.

If implemented, the changes could mean the end of the Metro that has served the Denver area well for more than two decades and the beginning of an era when students who want to learn, but don't meet these elitist requirements, will be turned away.

"Send them to community colleges to begin their educa­tions," legislators argue.

But what about the students who would then be forced out of community-college classrooms and onto the street?

Thi~ recommendation, coupled with an enrollment cap imposed by the legislature last spring, proves that most simply don't understand Metro and what goes on behind these drab, purple walls.

For if they understood MSC, they certainly wouldn't have violated the old, and correct, adage which says, "when something works, don't change it."

And Metropolitan State College does work. It worked for my mother, who, at the age of 34 and after a

14-year hiatus from higher education, returned to school and finished her baccalaureate education, while at the same time fulfilling responsibilities to her husband, children and employer.

It worked for me. After graduating from high school with little desire to acquire more knowledge and a mediocre-at best-grade-point average, it allowed me to find out how much I could accomplish.

It allowed me to find out what learning was all about. And what makes Metro work is a combination of its

people and what it stands for. The admission standards could be the first step in undo­

ing what Metropolitan State has stood for since 1963 and making us just another four-year institution.

Forget about the students who have the desire to learn but don't meet the entrance requirements-send them to the community colleges.

Forget about the working mothers who aren't going to be able to commit to classes three months ahead of time, as they'll have to do to insure themselves of places on MSC's roster-send them home.

To hell with the students who will be turned away­Metro is now a better institution.

This sPems to be the prevalent opinion in the State House and in the board room that affects us most. And what a shame it is.

Not for me, 111 be out of here before the real discrimi­nation begins.

Not for my mother, she has her degree-and has since gone on to get her master's.

Not for most of my friends and acquaintances-of all ages-whom I've met at Metro in the last three and a half years.

But for all the students yet to come. And for all the students who one day might want to seek

further knowledge, but will have the bureaucratic door slammed in their faces.

And the changes could lead to the undoing of another fiber that helps keep Metropolitan State College a step ahead and apart from the rest.

Faculty Senate President Freida Holley said she con­sidered resigning after she learned of the proposal.

What a terrible loss that would be. For without the Freida Holleys, and the Ann Millers and

the Rick Tarrs and the Greg Pearsons, and all the other fine-no, outstanding-educators at MSC, the college would crumble to a level of mediocrity comparable to the institu­tions that all those outside of Metro want us to be like.

Not that these institutions don't have some fine educators of there own-they do. But Metro is different. Metro is special. Metro is in a class by itself.

Metropolitan State College has served its students, the legislature and the trustees well.

It is, to say the least, discouraging that the students are the only ones who seem to want to return the favor.

Editor's note: Kevin Vaughan, former editor of The Metro­politan, is an MSC student and a reporter for the Sentinel newspapers.

"No. The opportunity for people who didn't go straight to college wouldn't be there. I think people would rather wait until they could get in here, because they wouldn't have to relocate to places like Adams State (Alamosa}, or Western State (Gunnison}, which they would have to do if colleges close to home, like Metro, had no more room. I don't think it would (benefit). It could improve the teacher-student ratio, that's about it." V. P. Defends Integrity of MSC

Heidi Compton "Yes, there should be some guide­

lines. We should have a certain grade­point average requirement, and we should make sure they would be hard­working students. No, it (the restric­tions) won't improve the school. It doesn't matter how many people are here, as long as the teachers can handle the load. I mean, some students drop out after the semester."

The following is an open letter from Antonio Esquibel, vice president for Student Affairs to Sen. Cliff Dodge, chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, responding to a Rocky Mountain News article on Oct. 23.

Dear Chairman Dodge: I wish to respond to the remarks attributed to you in this

morning's Rocky Mountain News article entitled "Budget Committee Cheers Metro Policy."

I refer specifically to your quote, "you could replace their admissions department with trained monkeys who just stamp the applications with the date (they were received)." The admissions process is time consuming and labor inten­sive at any college, but let me briefly outline the work the admissions office does perform for Metropolitan State Col­lege in this regard. One hundred percent of our recruitment visits are in the State of Colorado with 98 percent of these visitations in the Denver Metropolitan area. About 50 per­cent of these visits are with community agencies and busi­nesses; the remainder are to local high schools. We utilize direct-mail and follow-up mailings after initial contact is made with prospective students. We host campus visita­tions during the year. We mail the class schedule to all students in our data base and to approximately 2,500 agen­cies, businesses and libraries throughout the city of Denver and its suburban communities. We review each new appli­cation to ensure that it meets the high school graduation or GED requirement, and each transfer application to ensure that the applicant has met the 2.00 GPA from each college or university previously attended. Each applicant cant must be reviewed to establish in-state or out-ot-state

' - ---- -- ----- --·--------- ---· ........ -. ... a..1i1a...L a '-'t.,-.lk• ..... • . ........ .:i..a

residency status. Foreign student (F-1) applications must further be reviewed to ensure that they either have an associate degree or have scored at least 500 on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and appropriate credentials for admissions. These foreign credentials gen­erally require a great deal of evaluation and research. Readmit students' applications must be reviewed for up­dated changes and enrollment verification including a 2.00 GPA for previous work.

Once students are admitted, they are sent an acceptance letter, a newsletter and a Transfer Evaluation Priority Card, if appropriate. These applications must then be coded and the data stored in our data base. Later they are sent a registration/orientation letter and a class schedule. This office also prepares and coordinates the printing of the entire college class schedule every semester.

I also wish to correct another quote in today's paper that indicated Metro admits "even some 'non-traditional students' who did not cozhplete high school." This is not correct. All students at Metro have a high school diploma or GED and, if transfer students, they must have 30 semester hours that transfer to Metro.

The office bas one of the most sophisticated computerized admissions/registration systems in the country and since 1976 has been a model for other colleges and universities. A voice-response telephone registration will be in place this spring semester. It will be the state-of-th~-art, one- of-a­kind in higher education, designed specifically to meet the needs of the working student. Students, faculty and admin­istrators at

by the Consortium of State Colleges, Metro State's govern­ing board, to end 22 years of open enrollment at the Denver campus.

The new suggested standard would require 80 percent of the entering freshmen who are under 20 years of age to meet two of the three following criteria; a grade point average of 2.5, a score of 19 on the ACT,a and/or graduation in the upper two-thirds of their high school class. 20 percent would still be admitted with a high school or G.E.D., but thi$ · will definitly put a pinch on the number of non­traditional students who will be able to enter.

There can be no doubt that this policy will impact minori­ties and low income students the most. For in addition to the new academic standards that are being encouraged by the Consortium, the JBC has now imposed a new cap of stu­dents who can attend during the year at 10,257. This means that upward of 1,400 students will need to be cut from the rolls next semester to meet this cap.

Metro State Co1lege and those who helped develop the concept of a unique urban orientated college in Denver back in 1964 have had their dream shattered by this latest decision. For minorities and poor whites who don't have the luxury of shopping around for higher education opportuni­ties, this decision ccomes at a most critical time.

The American Council on Education issued its status report for minorities in higher education in 1985 and found that it has not changed this year. A major finding of the Council was that, "Minorities continue to be under-repre­sented n the nation's campuses. In addition, minority access to higher education is becoming increasingly limited because of high drop out rates, more rigorous testing and admissions standards, and reduced financial aid.

The new code word for exclusion in higher education is "academic excellence." While no one can be against raising standards of excellence, much more needs to be done at the elementary and secondary level to provide that equal opportunity after graduation from high school.

The American Council of Education found that federal and state funding for support programs at the elementary

Metro praise this admission-and-registration system. In fact, the chief administrator for this area was recognized by his collegues with the Distinguished Service Award for 1985-86.

Since 1980, based upon a footnote in the Long Bill, this office also has provided the registration system for the University of Colorado at Denver.

In my recent annual report, I pointed out that within the Student Affairs staff at Metro, 10 individuals hold Ph.D.s, mostly in the area of student personnel administration or in related areas of administration. Most of the remaining exempt staff hold master's degrees, and an have at least bachelor's degrees.

and secondary level is decreasing. The report indicated that as income level of minority students has worsened, federal student aid has shifted more in favor of middle-class white students. Currently, the declining college participation of minorities is attributed to reduced social committment to affirmative action, to various access barriers and to a reduced supply of federal grants.

The report concluded "Allowing declines in minority participation to continue unchecked will return society to an elitist system of a highly educated upper and middle class, mostly white, and a seriously undereducated working and poor class, mostly non-white-in other words­economic apartheid."

The story of Metro State College is one of success. Per­haps it has not done a sufficient job of tooting its own horn. The November issue of Dnver Magazine at~empts to cap­sulize the depth of this success. In an article written by Carson Reed titled, "Can 100,000 People Be Wrong," he points out "To ask who goes to Mero is to ask who lives in Denver," With more than 100,000 former students of the college still living in the Denver area, it would be nigh on impossible for you to get through a normal day wilhout touching the life of someone whose life has been touched by the school, according to Reed.

The ration of men and women is almost eqully divide~ with an average age of 27, and the 16,000 plus students who attend both full and part-time reflects the broad ethnic, economic and social mix that makes Denver such a neat place to live.

In closing, I would like to borrow an old phrase I used hear from rural legislators when I was in the Colorado General Assembly, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." When the legislature convenes in January they should rew­rite the statue on Metro and return to the original "open door" policy that was sold to the community when it was

created. Richard Castro

I would be most happy to set up a time when you (Sen. Cliff) could come and visit our Admissions Office to observe the work performed by this most important office.

I respectfully request an apology for the reference to "'monkeys," to the Colorado State employees who have provided years of service to the college in this critical area of college admissions. We are human beings, with feelings and emotions like your own, and we are deeply off ended by the insinuation that our work can be done by monkeys. Surely you do not believe "trained monkeys" could do our job?

Sincerely, Antonio Esquibel, Ph.D.

Vice President for Student Affairs

Do you think Metro should implement admission standard& and will the Trus­tees of the Consortium of State Colleges proposal to restrict admission of tradi­tional students by these standard& bene­fit the college?

Jim Stevens "I suppose that I'm opposed to enroll­

ment restrictions in general. As a general principle, I think that an institution should be capable of knowing how many students it can enroll and teach adequately. I can't see how it's going to improve the school. I understand what they expect the cap to do, but I don't agree with it. I was a high school dro­pout with a G.E.D., and I knew I could enroll here. Had an enrollment cap been in effect then, I might have found it extremely difficult to get into col­lege. I now have a 3.89 GPA at Metro."

Jerilyn Clark "You have to have some kind of

requirements, but I'm not sure the stu­dents would get a chance to get a higher education except at community colleges, and I don't think highly of those. The students would probably be more knowledgable, but I don't think that's fair to the students who don't meet those standards and can't afford to go (someplace else)."

Better to Give,

Jackson Says

Marie Ziauddin Reporter

Leaning back in his office chair, hands clasped behind his head, MSC criminal justice instructor Richard Jackson says he's been in his office in the West Classroom Building for at least two vears. but it looks more like two weeks.

Only phone messages are Scotch­taped on the white, unmarked walls, and cardboard boxes on the floor hold stacks of books waiting to be shelved on the book case by the door or in the filing cabinet next to 1t.

In the center of the office, Jackson's desk is covered with papers, books, newspaper clippings and class attend ance sheets; all mixed together and piled six-mches high.

"I've got great plans for this office," Jackson said, "but this stuff doesn't matter. See. people get hung up on the small things.'

What does matter to Jackson is helping students.

One student, an investigator for a public defender, came into the office to see if Jackson could help him get needed information from a parole­board hearing, while avoiding the usual lengthy administrative process.

Jackson made a brief suggestion and taped the guy's message to the wall, saying he'd do whatever he could.

The guy called 15 minutes later to tell Jackson he'd gotten the infor­mation.

"Now that's real," Jackson said. "That makes my day."

In '64, Jackson's day was made when he received a track scholarship from Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. But two years later, his day was ruined when he was drafted into the Army.

He said he went into Officer's Candi­date School because he saw that certain people give orders and other people take orders.

"'Tis better to give than to receive," Jackson said, laughing.

But Jackson received too. He was shot during his first year in

Vietnam and spent two years in inten­sive care. He now is deaf in his left ear, 30 percent deaf in his right ear, and has

Collaborations Exhibited

Betty Soneff Reporter

Imagine three mischievous boys playing with clay. They manipulate a piece here, gouge a hole there and, surprisingly, create a different art form. The results can be seen at the Emmanuel Gallery, 10th and Lawrence Streets.

"To Helsinski and Back," a traveling exhibit of ceramic platters and vessels, can be viewed until Nov. 14, Monday through Friday bet\.veen 11 a.m. and 5 p .m. Internationally known ceramic artists Rudy Autio, Jim Leedy, and Peter Voulkos collaborated to produce the pieces.

Rodger Lang, ceramics instructor at Metro and Carol Keller, curator of the gallery, brought this extraordinary exhibit to Auraria with the support of the Auraria Visual Arts Committee, Mile Hi Ceramics Inc., Metropolitan State College and the MSC Clay Club.

Voulkos created a revolution in the late '50s, when he became the first of a new breed of artists who crossed the lines ben.veen art and craft. With his slashing and stacking techniques, he changed the shape of pottery from what it had been for thousands of years.

Montana natives Autio, Leedy, and Voulkos participated in workshops and · exhibitions at Northern Arizona Uni­versity and the University of Califor­nia at Berkeley. In 1982, they were invited to Helsinski, Finland, to lecture and demonstrate their work. Their

experience in Finland resulted in a new emphasis on color, the use of porcelain and several collaborative pieces.

Some of the pieces are humorous and one can almost hear the artists say­ing, 'ain't we having fun.' One of these is "The Pete Nose Best Plate," a collab­oration by Leedy and Voulkos. In the middle of the plate, the faces of the three artists are in relief with Voulkos' (Pete's) nose missing. It protrudes from the top of the platter.

The three approach their work dif­ferently than most ceramic artists. They throw handfuls of clay onto their pieces and cut and slash with abandon.

"They're real brave and risky," Keller said about the artists. "People who deal with ceramics want to be very careful so as not to break anything, but these guys take risks. That's why they're

· so good." Another plate by Voulkos resembles

dried mud flats, cracks all over the surface.

"It's real earthy. You don't forget it came from the ground and was dirt at one time," Keller said.

"The Sleeping Beauty-Lena" plate is the exhibit's prettiest. A feminine face protrudes from the surface, ·washed with pink and blue glazes.

The vessels and pots are slab-built and three-dimensional sculptures.

"Aesthetics is not tied to any one material. Clay is as valid as material for a sculptor as wood or stone," Autio said.

Two :\1etro art students, Frank Yan­torno and Don l\'issen, were studying a piece titled "Anna Maria With Cow­boy Hat." A Janus-like face tops an

Black. Black like outer space with­out stars. Just perceptible silhouettes shimmering on stage, ghost like. Four of them.

"Lights," cried Ernest Worthington­Wyke.

He lit a cigarette and the lighter flame pierced the darkness like a welder's torch.

The flame winked out as if oppressed by the blackness, leaving only the fee­ble glow of his cigarette.

"Is there an audience out there?" cried one of the silhouettes.

"Yes," answered another, "I here them soffing."

That was the opening scene of "Impromptu," the second skit of three performed by the MSC Players Thurs­day night.

"Impromptu" was the best of the three skits because the characters were given a chance to develop.

The skit was about four actors who had been told to appear on stage at a certain time. When they did, they found themselves in darkness, without a script and before a live audience.

When the stage lights flashed on, the four actors found themselves to be very different from each other.

Ernest Worthington-Wyke, played by Stephen Johnson, was a seasoned actor who had played in many epics.

He was followed around by Lora Elspeth O'Dey, played by Mina Tho­mas, who worshipped his greatness and obeyed his commands- at least at first.

And then there was Tony, (Brian Ogden) a wimpish actor with no expe­rience who argued with Ernest at every tum.

Sally Gunter played Winifred Barnes, a burned-out actress who had always played "the star's best friend that no one ever remembers."

Winifred and Ernest were at each others' throats as soon as the lights turned on. And Tony whimpered. And Lora followed strutting Ernest, nod­ding her head whenever he said any­thing.

After arguing, whimpering, and nodding, the four decide to improvise

A good skit. Gunter as Winifred was excellent. When she cried, "Ohhh Ernest!" the anger and frustration Win­ifred purveyed in those two words were real life. Tony was a real whimp, and Lora real scatter brained.

The other two skits were not as good because their characters never reached out to the audience. Both were set in the sound room of CBS's Radio Mys­tery Theater.

As the audience looked on, two "live" Mystery Theater dramas were enacted. As in "Impromptu," James Ginsberg and Linda Manning played an actor and an actress. Ginsberg appeared in "Hitchhiker," a story of a man pursued across half the United States by a mysterious hitchhiker who no one else could see.

Manning played in "Sorry Wrong

But the two skits never developed. Too many people crowded the stage at once. In "Hitchhiker," fourteen actors took part, almost all at once. In "Sorry Wrong Number," 15. The stage was cluttered with them.

"Impromptu" stole the show. And by the way, if you want to know what "soffing" means, go see the play.

"Impromptu," "Sorry .Wrong Num­ber," and "Hitchhiker" are presented by the MSC Players Theatre Com­pany, and will play Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8. Tickets are $4 for the general public, $2for DACC and UCO students and free to MSC students. D

no feeling in most of his right hand. Jackson said he was "given a talking

to" when he refused to do underwater basket weaving as physical therapy for his hand. ,

"I just thought it was stupid," he said.

So after getting married in 1968, Jackson . was determined to finish his undergraduate work, and then attend law school-both at the University of Denver.

'Tm not sure what year that was. I have a resume here, somewher~," he came looking through his desk-top jungle.

During his final year in law school, Jackson decided he didn't want to become a lawyer.

"I saw practicing lawyers and what it took to become a good lawyer," he said, referring to the high divorce, sui­cide and mental-illness rates. "I didn't want to become a mediocre lawyer, and I'm very family oriented." So he delayed becoming a lawyer and was a criminal justice planner for the Denver Anti-Crime Council for four years

He now teaches at MSC. In class, Jackson's first daily question

is: "Okay, what's happening in the real world?"

A woman in his Constitutional Law class told him about the punk rockers who claim they're being harassed by the police.

"Do you think they're being har-

assed?" Jackson asks, pointing first to one student, then the next. Both nod.

"Sure," he says. "What's that street with the horses down there?"

"Sixteenth," the students say, laughing.

"Yeah, those merchants down there are paying for those horses and cops. Do you think they don't have some say over what's going on (if the punkers are hanging around the businesses)?"

Jackson says people are on waiting lists to get into area police forces.

"So if someone tells you to harass (the punkers), are you gonna do it? That pension, those braces, that four­by-four? Yeah," he says, nodding to mimick students.

"Those polyester leisure suits," he says with a laugh.

\Vhile Jackson says the comments he makes may sound harsh and unbe­lievable to some, he wants students to become more familiar with and aware of their surroundings.

He also says it's healthy to keep a sense of humor in working with the criminai justice system. Otherwise, a person can get burned out and £rust rated.

'Tve been accused of caring too much about too many things.

"Part of my message in class is 'THI~K. I want students to have the attitude they have the intelligence ne­cessary to read and understand (the issues at hand). I don't want them to just blindly accept something, think-

ing they can't make a change - because they can someday."

Jackson sees students with a dilemma now working in the system. They're telling him what's going on.

"They see what criminals do to vic­tims, and they have to tell someone.

"When I worked for the city, I

couldn't say anything. So that was one of the motivating factors of getting out."

And anyone talking to Jackson for more than five minutes knows and understands why he's a teacher - he loves to talk.

"Ninty percent of the time, I'm either talking or reading. I love both."

When he became a teacher, he made a list of what he hated as a student and tries to avoid those things. For instance, he hates long lectures. objective tests and essay tests in which students are penalized when they have earned As or Bs in English class doing the same.

Jackson sees students with a dilemma now working in the system. he prefers opinion papers.

"In order to \vrite a good opinion paper, you really have to know what you're talking about," he said. "And a lot of people can write research papers without understanding the information. tion.

Aside from his classes at MSC, Jack­son also teaches a class this semester which houses 18-to 30-year-old inmates.

"It's an education," Jackson says. "I haven't had contact with federal pri­soners before. But I'm learning more than if I took 10 classes about federal institutions."

Because Jackson is involved in and knows a lot about the criminal justice system, he says he's in greater demand with his friends and co-workers.

"I just got hired Thursday on a pro­ject (as a consultant on the treatment of the mentally ill) I really didn't want to be on. But it's the kind of thing where they needed me. I like change, so I'll enjoy it, it's just - time."

But Jackson made the time because he thinks it will be good for the mental health and criminal justice system to begin understanding one another.

About his future, Jackson says: "I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.'' But, he says, he'll

~ probably be a trial lawyer for five to 5 seven years because he feels "encap­~ suJated and fascinated" by the system. ~ For now, he wants to be able to ~ spend time with his wife, an occu­~ pational therapist at Ridge Home, and

bis three children, ages 16, 14 and three.

One of the most memorable mo­ments in Jackson's career was about four years ago when he was an eval­uator / monitor for the Battered Women's Shelter, and the women wanted him to be Santa Claus for their Christmas celebration.

"I saw myself as a sort of grinch who frowned all the time, but they said I smiled a lot and they had their minds' made up.

"After that, I asked my wife and kids if I smiled a lot and they said, 'Yea,' so I w·ent around looking in the mirror a lot," Jackson says, laughing like a child unable to control his excitment.

"So anyway, they were all down­stairs, and I came down in my red suit and all. And the kids just started yelling and they sat on my lap, and I gave 'em all the gifts - 'cause everyone had all bought gifts .

"And I made all the women sit on my lap an' I gave 'em all a big hug -that was probably the first time they'd been touched by a man since their husbands beat them," Jackson said.

"I was. out there - I was so high - I mean, I didn't get to sleep 'till about five that morning. It was something.

"You ought to be a Santa sometime. It was great." o

Scribe Tries Basketball, Falls Off Cloud Nine Scott Moore Sports Editor

As I casually glided onto the basket­ball court, I was on cloud nine. I was one of the hopefuls trying out for the MSC men's varsity basketball team. God. this is going to be fun, I thought to myself.

I made my appearance so I could get an in-depth story on what college basketball is all about. Bob Hull, the new coach at MSC, had persuaded me that this was the best way.

Although I was here for the story, I decided to say nothing and, instead, let my imagination run wild. 111 show' em all just who Scott Moore is!

Being the shortest and skinniest kid there will work to my advantage because all these jolly green giants (the players) will underestimate me.

It all started in the cool, smelly locker room. I had a moment to myself to think about things to come. I let daydreaming take its course.

I walked out on the court amid the cheers and chants of "Scott, Scott, Scott." I'm a diamond in the rough, a talent just waiting to explode. Another Spudd Webb. (The 5'6" former North Carolina State star, currently with the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA.) I'll make his slam dunks look like a sideshow.

Hull is simply amazed. I show him talent he has never seen before. He yanks me aside and proudly tells me, "You're as good as on the team." He wants me to be the starting point guard.

Well, I'm the talk of the campus. Girls from every direction swarm around me. They are begging for my autograph. Most of them want a date with the most famous guy on campus. I find this to my liking.

By this time, I'm a hot commodity throughout the state. I'm on television and in newspapers. My mother is going nuts because the phone is ringing off the hook.

The only disappointment of being such a big shot came when I had to quit The Metropolitan. I remember walking into Bob Davis' (the editor) office and saying, "Sorry Bob, I just can't put

enough time into the paper. I have a full schedule and I need time for my fans."

Davis falls to his knees, begging me to stay. But to no avail.

Then, suddenly, a jolt on my shoulder. I was awakened only to find myself back in the smelly surroundings of the men's locker room. Apparently, I had fallen off cloud nine.

As I was stretching out in preparation for the grueling practice session that lay ahead, I was thinking of some way to chicken out. But there was no turning back now.

I looked up to see everyone pointing at me and laughing. I was playing the fool.

We started out with some simple lay-up drills. Simple, that is, for every­one except me.

Lumbering down the lane were these huge men. They were jumping up so high, the ball almost dropped in the hoop. Some were slam dunking and some were making up circus moves, as they flawlessly made almost every

shot. It seemed they were looking down into the cylinder of the basket.

My shot caromed off the backboard, completely missing the rim two times. I had one shot go in, after it sat perched on the rim for what seemed an eternity.

'Tm just out of practice," I cooly

said as I proceeded to miss my first three attempts.

Coach Hull then put us through two-on-one and three-on-two drills. This was all fine, except I was the one.

Coming at me were two Goliaths. each about 6'5'', and I was David.

They shot at me like lightning, knowing that this was their chance to look good. They flipped a pass back and forth, which got me turning in my shoes. One swooped by me and threw up a shot. I tried to position myself for a possible rebound by attempting to shove one of them away from the basket. It was no use, though, because the tower wouldn't budge and the shot went in anyway.

In fact, everything I tried, I flubbed. I was completely embarrassing myself.

A flagrant attempt of a shot got everyone laughing inside. I followed that by getting Q.umed so bad in a drive to the hoop that I may as well not have been there.

The man I was guarding shot around

another guy and when I tried to follow, I hit the guy and was promptly laid out on the court. It was the easiest bucket my man scored all day.

I was knocked down about 10 times and was awarded a charley horse for my efforts. The big bruise that was appearing on my thigh gave me the

opportunity to quit, but like the fool I am, I carried on.

But wait, a flicker of hope appeared as I snagged a rebound around four guys. A few minutes later, I won the fight for another, then executed a sharp defensive play. My chest bulged out as I turned around to look at the coach. But it sank back in when I caught him looking in another direction. Spudd Webb, where are you when I need •you? ·

Next we.re some dribbling drills, where I promptly showed everyone in the joint how not to dribble.

I tried weaving up the court, which was the assi@ment, but the ball kept bounding off my legs, and every time I turned, I left the ball behind. To make things worse, I stumbled a few times over my own two feet.

Before long the coach took all the walk-ons aside and _split them into two groups. My heart almost stopped. Was I better than I thought? Would he keep me around for more torture? Luckily for me, the answer was no.

When Hull informed our exhausted group that we weren't good enough, I almost jumped for joy. The other dejected players just gave me a queer look. They probably thought I had brain damage.

Cutting me and saving me from more agony is the best thing Hull has done since arriving on campus. What a guy.

Although I had fun, this session ruined something inside me. Something that for years had told me I wasn't that bad a player. I just smiled as I headed toward the exit.

Out in the hall outside the gym, some of the "jolly green giantsn yelled "nerdn at me. (Ha, ha, I thought to myself, this nerd won't give you any coverage this year.)

Then I came back down to reality. I probably am a nerd. But how many nerds have the guts to do what I just did?

At least now I'll never see Davis get on his knees. I also won't see girls flocking around me, and people won't be wanting my autograph. But it was all just a pipe dream anyway.

SPORTS Wonien's Volleyball Team Places 10th in Tourney

Susan Brent Reporter

The MSC women's volleyball team won three matches and lost five while playing in the Premiere Tournament at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs last weekend.

Metro was matched against NCAA Division II teams, some of which were ranked in the top 20 in the country by the NCAA coaches poll.

Coach Pat Johnson said her team received excellent experience against some tough opponents that will undoubtedly be in the NCAA nationals.

Cal Poly Pomona, ranked fourth in the nation in Division II, defeated MSC .15-4 and 15-9 as the team played a best two-out-ofthree series the first day (Saturday). University of Califor­nia at Riverside, ranked sixth, beat MSC 15-8, 15-11.

The women rebounded to capture a hard fought 15-12, 15-13 victory over the University of Calif omia at Bakers­field but lost to 10th ranked Chapman Coll~ge (CA) 15-13, 11-15, 6-15.

On Sunday MSC played the Air Force Academy, Regis College, Chap­man and Riverside. Air Force in four sets, 2-15, 15-9, 15-7, 15-9, and defeating Regis 15-11, 15-9, · 15-11.

Closing out the tournament, MSC lost to Chapman 8-15, 15-9, 6-15, .6-15.

Johnson said that while finishing tenth out of 14 teams doesn't sound

good, one must consider the ranking of the teams, seven of which are ranked in the top 20.

Assistant coach David Barkley noted the consistant level of talent as the main factor of the tournament.

"Even the teams that weren't ranked were good," he said.

Barkley said the emotions involved in playing eight times in two days created a challenge.

Two players Johnson singled out as playing quite well were Donna Baros and Catherine Guiles, both seniors.

She was pleased overall with her team's performance.

In last week's action Metro stung Mesa 15-10, 14-16, 15-7, 15-1 then were defeated by Regis 14-16, 15-10, 15-17, 5-15.

Darlene Katzer (Right) and the Women's Volleyball team will be traveling to Colorado Springs, Wednesday to play the Air Force Academy.

Johnson said in those games her team lacked the killer instinct.

"The bottom fell out in the fourth game," she said. "We got conservative (and) w,~ weren't playing aggressive enough.

On Wednesday Metro will oppose Air Force at the academy. MSC has captured three-out-of-four games from Air Force this year.

"They are going to be gunning for us," Johnson said. 'They are going to be turning out a flock of cadets." D

missed my calling." Perhaps you're not yet ready for

Metro's varsity basketball team, but why not give intramural teams a shot? - no pun intended.

Metro's Campus Recreation program begins its intramural three-on-three basketball season on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

Games will be played on Tuesdays

and Thursdays through Dec. 12, and the entry fee is $5. Players will be placed in two divisions - one division for players over 6 feet tall and the other for shorter players.

Campus Recreation encourages "mini­mized competitiveness and maximized participation," said Dick Feuerborn, campus recreation director.

The intramural program is for peo­ple who enjoy physical activity with­out the competitiveness of varsity sports.

Other intramural sports in November include a swim meet on Wednesday, Nov. 20, and a racquetball tournament on Nov. 22, 23 and 24.

If your term paper isn't going any­where other than the wastebasket, you can attend a mandatory managers' meeting for interested basketball play­ers on Nov. 13.

S PORTS Women's.Soccer Team Invited to Play at Regional Games

Debbie Temmer Reporter

They've done it again-the MSC women's soccer team ended its season Sunday with a 2-1 win over the Univer­sity of Colorado.

Despite the winning score, coach Ed Montojo said it was a sluggish game because the players lacked intensity.

Tonja Ridgeway headed the team in the right direction with the first goal. Then Kelly Winkleblack, assisted by Laurie Deshler, gave the team its

winning goal. The win gave the team a season

record of 13-4-1 and earned an invita­tion to the NAIA Central Region Championship Tournament on Nov. 9. There is a better than 50-50 chance that the first game will be held at MSC, Montojo said.

"For a first-year coach, it was a real good season," he said. "In the next two weeks, we'll be getting ready for the regional championship, and then, hope­fully, we will win the regional and then go on to the national championship."

MSC is one of four teams invited to the regional games, Montojo said. The team outscored other teams, 53 to 28, and earned nine shut-outs.

Their winning season may mean a change from the N AIA division to the NCAA Division II. Though not defi­nite, such a move would be good for the team, Montojo said.

"If I had my choice, I'd want to go after the bigger schools ... but we'd have to get more funding so that we could compete on a national level. With the funding (we have) right now,

it would almost be impossible to com­pete on that kind of level. ... But we've already proven that we can compete pretty well on the NAIA level."

MSC is rated in the top 10 in the country by the NAIA collegiate rank­ing system. The teams MSC lost to were some of the best in the nation, Montojo said.

Montojo praised four women who played exceptionally well this season. Ridgeway, a freshman, was the lead

scorer, and Amy Shute, a junior, was close behind her. Sherri Martinez and Winkleblack, both freshmen, also had outstanding seasons.

To continue having good seasons, Montojo said, women will have to work on their mid-field play, keep their game consistent and play with mor~ intensity.

Most of the team's problems, he said, were because most of the players were

young. The team had only one senior. Montojo said be is looking forward

to the post-season games and is thank­ful for all the fan support.

"We'd like to thank those who have come out to the games this season and supported us, and (we) are looking forward to the NAIA Tournament .... The girls have worked hard this sea­son ... and we've really turned things around from last year." D
