The MSC men's head basketball coach Bob Ligouri resigned last Fri­day, after holding the position for 17 months.

Bob Ligouri, who left a .coaching position in Des Moine, Iowa, for the position at Metro, cited an excellent business opportunity as his reason for leaving. He now holds the position of vice president of marketing for a Denver import-export company.

"The security ot my family was paramount," Ligouri said. "Coaches don't have great longevity ... the question was, in ten years, would this same opportunity still be there?"

ON CAMPUS Late Applicants Turned A way for First Time

Metro's enrollment cap is raising hackles around the campus again this week.

Because Metro has exceeded enroll­ment projections-the equivalent of 419 full-time students as of Aug. 28-for the Fall '86 semester, people who applied for admission to the col­lege after the application deadline of Aug. 21 were turned away.

Under the old funding system,

where enrollment numbers determin­ed the amount of money given by the state, MSC regularly extended the deadline.

Now that Metro is given a specific sum of money for a specific number of students, the school was forced to adhere to the original deadline, accor­ding to Ken Curtis, Vice President for Admissions and Records.

Curtis said although it's difficult to

determine exactly who has been affected, he believes the majority of those who tried to apply after the deadline were non-tradi­t ion al-working- students interested in taking classes to help them on the job.

Most of the new freshmen and transfer students knew they planned on attending Metro and applied well. before the deadline, according to Cur- · tis.

Curtis had one final bit of advice for those interested in - attending Metro in the future. ·

"I can't over-emphasize the need for students to mail register in the future," Curtis said. "I don't see much chance of those who mail register in the spring being turned away. Spring walk-in could be another story altogether."

Mr. McDermott Goes to Washington Lori Martin-Schneider Associate Editor

A Metro State College official has influenced the structure of student loans by taking his claims all the way to Washington D.C ..

David McDermott, a controller for contracts and grants at Metro, has written a paper outlining alternatives to what he feels are costly st:.ident aid programs. McDerc10tt presented his cost study in Washington last February.

It was used by a coalition of college, university and collection agency, representatives, as well as attor­neys-all experts on collection of stu­dent loan payments- in testimony to a House sub-committee on post­secondary education. They were deliberating on the re- auth9rization of the Higher Education Act, which sets guidelines on all student loans in the country.

elements of Institutional Advance­ment at Metro is going to _be generating private funds for the college.

"Obviously, as a state institution, you are getting most of your funding from two sources, the state allocation and tuition and fees," he said. What we are going to try to do is add a third element. We are going to get money from private sources-individuals, busin~ and corporations, founda­tions, and alumni."

In addition to fund raising, Gianneschi wants to improve the reputation of Metro and increase alumni participation.

"Your degree from Metro depends on what you put into it. What that degree means in 10 years is going to be determined by what Metro is in 10 . years. When you say in 1995, I got my degree from MSC, people are going to be looking at what Metro is in 1995, not here and now. You have a stake in the reputation of the college. People are going to judge you by Metro's reputation then. If the college's reputation has improved, your reputation improves. Alumni have a real investment in the reputation, and they have to insure that the school continues going in the direction it should be going."

Gianneschi added that one of the reasons he was attracted to Metro was its Denver setting. - "There is no question that when you

According to McDermott, the Guaranteed Student Loan is' not as efficient as the National Direct Stu­dent Loan.

"The NDSL is cost-effective, while the GSL is a continuing cost," McDer­mott explained.

The GSL allows students to borrow money from a bank at the T-bill rate (the interest rate established by the government for 91-day loans) , and the government pays the bank while the student is in school, with an increase of 3.5 percent.

For example, if the T-bill rate is 10 percent, the government pays the bank 13.5 percent while the student is in school. After graduation and a six­month grace period, the student generally pays back the loan with an 8 percent interest rate, and the govern­ment pays the rest.

In the NDSL, the government puts . up an initial 90 percent of the loan, the state institution puts up 10 per­cent. After graduation and the grace period, the student starts repaying the

money which goes back out to other students-it revolves. -

McDermott draws the analogy in his paper of buying a house and ren­ting one.

"The NDSL is like buying a house because the government puts up a big chunk, but it is the equivalent of owning because the money is recycl­ed," he explained. "But in the case of the GSL, it is like renting a house because the federal government is paying rent for the use of funds in the form of interest."

The biggest difference between the two is how they are awarded. A GSL can be taken out by anyone, whereas the NDSL is granted on the basis of need.

McDermott says the recycling of funds is beneficial.

"Presently here at Metro, over 92 percent of our students are paying back loans .. . We will collect over $500,000 from former borrowers and that automatically goes out the door to the next student," he said.

McDermott said he feels if more students understood the premise of the loan, "they would understand why we work so hard to get the money back."

He wrote the paper because he saw Mie trend of GSL's was on the rise.

"(That's) government money that could have gone for NDSL and grants . . . (instead) it has gone to cover the rising cost of the GSL," he said. 0

MSC student, Barry K. Schwartz

Scholarship A warded Barry K. Schwartz, a junior at

Metropolitan State College majoring in political science and urban studies, is the 1985 winner of the Richard M. Fontera Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship, a $1,048 cash award, covers full-time tuition for two semesters and was established in memory of the late Dr. Richard M. Fontera, president of MSC from 1982 to 1984.

The scholarship is intended to con­tinue Fontera's commitment to academic excellence and the memory of his pride in Metropolitan State Col­lege, its students and its future. Dr. Fontera died April 17, 1984. The award will be presented annually to an outstanding junior or senior MSC student.

Nancy Munser, chair of the scholar­ship committee, said Schwartz was selected because of his outstanding academic achievements and contribu­tions to the college and the community.

"We selected Barry because he shows great potential to be a leader," she said.

Sch\\.artz said coming to MSC represents a change in direction in his life. He enrolled at Metro after being out of school for seven years.

"When I started college I thought I wanted to be an engineer," he said. "Other courses made me see I was interested in social sciences because they deal more with human beings and the human predicament."

Schwartz attends MSC full-time and maintains a cumulative grade point average of 3.88. In spring semester 1985, he completed a legislative internship working as a lobbyist for Colorado Common Cause. He was a student represen­tative to the MSC Governance Steer­ing Committee and informed the stu­dent government of the General Assembly's activities. He was a senator for MSC student government and a member of Denver Young Democrats.

Student Health Benefits Detailed Metropolitan State College students

are covered under a group insurance policy that is paid for when tuition payment is made.

The Southland Life Insurance Company provides group coverage to all students except those who choose to have the coverage waived. It's $52 a semester for the coverage, which is included in the price of tuition.

This provides 24-hour coverage while the student is at home, school, or while traveling and includes vaca­tion periods for each semester.

Benefits under this plan are payable in addition to benefits a student may receive from any other insurance policy, except collectable automobile­medical, automobile-liability acci­dent policies, and Medicare.

This means the company will take other forms of insurance into con­sideration when a student is in a car accident before awarding any amount of money. This includes $50 Basic X-Ray/lab per illness coverage.

Some items not included in the

policy are: • Charges for eye glasses or hearing aids. • Charges for newborn care. • Charges for elective cosmetic surgery. • Charges for dental services and supplies. • Charges for expenses for injuries received as a result of the Inter­collegiate Sports Program and -Club Sports unless otherwise specified. • Charges for a routine physical. • Charges for l~ resulting in a self­inflicted injury. • Charges for preventive medicine, (vaccines, etc.) • Charges for injuries resulting from a fight in which the student was the agressor.

Students should carry a pink insurance card at all times in case of injury. They are available in a pam­phlet in the Central classroom building on the wall by the veteran's services window.

For more information , call 556-2525.

Campus Cable Network Aiming for December Schedule Debut

Watch out Mile Hi! Auraria's campus-wide cable net­

work may be on the air by December, founder Ben Boltz said Friday.

Members of Auraria Student Tele­vision and Radio Organization have established a network that connects the student lounges with the media center in the library and are waiting for more equipment to arrive before they begin designing the' daily pro-

gr~ming schedules. Boltz said an agreement has been

reached with United Cable of Col­orado to hav~ students trained on the company's equipment and then have access to their studios and editing equipment as a public service.

"And this is the really neat part," Boltz said, "we've arranged through JoAnn Soker (special projects coor­dinator for Auraria} to run a com­munication line in the support struc­ture of the AGT."

Boltz said United Cable's new studios on the sports complex could then be utilized by ASTRO.

"They've got some great stuff over there, too," Boltz said. "Their studios are incredible."

ASTRO has been given a $8,500 budget by the Student Activities Board for this year and Boltz said they now are in need of interested students to get the programs on the air. Anyone interested should call Boltz at 556-3253. 0

Auraria Campus Parking Costs Again Lori Martin-Schneider Aasoclate Editor

Parking prices on the Auraria cam­pus have increased to compensate for the loss of six lots, and the cost of run­ning the Auraria Trolly, according to parking officials.

The parking lots absorbed were A and U to the State Highway Depart­ment, B and E to Tivoli, and P and Q which will close down in January for the construction of the UCD replace­ment facility.

The Highway Department needs land to build the new Walnut/Wazee viaduct.

"Each lot has a potential revenue base," said Robert Thompson, assis­tant director of financial operations with the parking and transportation service of Auraria. "We needed to raise the (price of parking) to main­tain status quo fpr foe lots we are going to lose."

Thompson estimates the annual revenue of all six lots to be $400,000."

Lot A is still open, but may be shut down at a moments notice, "as soon as the highway department puts a fence around it," Thompson said. Mean­while, its price has been raised from 75 cents to $1 a day.

Thompson says he anticipates Tivoli will need more parking space, and that is why visitor lots G and Q have been raised from 50 cents an hour to $1 an hour.

He says those who pay the most will be "those who have contributed to the loss of those revenues ... these people mostly will be from Tivoli."

Students are allowed to park in the Tivoli lots, but they must pay 75 cents every half an hour, or get at least a $5 receipt stamped at a Tivoli vendor.

In addition, the parking decals needed for every lot except G and Q have gone up from $1 to $3. Thomp­son explains they had planned to increase to $2, and then decided to compensate for the trolley.

"It costs us almost $2 to process (the decal)," he said. "Rather than charge the people for riding the trolley, we raised the $2 we already were going to charsze to $3."

"The trolley is the financial respon­sibility of parking operations," he said. "It cost us roughly $60,000 a year. That is part of our operating revenues."

Thompson says the students who

are riding the trolley and parking free at Mile High Stadium are helping the parking situation and people who park near campus. They are reward­ed, he says, by riding for free.

There will be two trolleys running this year. One full time from 7 a.m. to fl p.m., and the other varying between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. during peak times when a second trolley is needed most.

Thompson said the lots most used by students did not increase in price.

"We directed the increase toward the monthly-fee areas," he said. "The student monthly permit areas we left untouched."

The lots Thompson says are most used by students are D, F, H, J, K, R, T, V, and P.

There are 16 daily fee lots available on campus right now, he said.

But parking lots aren't the only shortage. St. Francis Way once con­tained metered parking controlled by the City and County of Denver. But the street was deeded over to Auraria in April, . and all the meters were removed.

"The meters belonged to the City and County of Denver so they took them," Thompson said. "It is a permit (area) . .. We use this area for odd parking types, like a special-events pass, or a wedding rehearsal at (Saint Elizabeth's Church)."

There was one parking area that • was added. Lot C was annexed, and is called C Annex. It is a dirt lot at the southwest comer of lot C, behind the Business Services building. It is $15 a month, $56.25 a semester.

"It is the cheapest monthly permit here for years," he said.

The lots that increased are: Lots A and C, from 75 cents to $1; Lots G and Q, from 50 cents an hour to $1 an hour. Both G and Q are visitor lots and don't require a decal.

Monthly Lots S, I, L and M have increased in monthly fee also. Lot S went up from $22 a month to $25 a month. Lots I, Land M all went up from $27 a month to $30 a month. All these parking spaces are discounted for semester purchases.

After 5 p.m. though, both Lots I and M convert to daily fee lots. That price also has increased from $1.25 to $1.50. Once your car exits the lot, a fee must be paid upon re-entry.

Lot S also converts at night but is still only $1.25. ' O

Here it is, the first week of classes and your Pell Grant hasn't come in yet. You're not worried about tuition, you can pay it when your grant· arrives, but what are you going to do about books?

Forget about the midnight withdrawal from the local 7 -11. Tom Steinmeyer is here to help.

Steinmeyer is the new Director of Student Support, where students registered with at least six credit hours

can get emergency short term loans up to $120 without paying any interest.

Delayed financial aid is only one of many ,scenarios where a student might need a quick source of revenue. Most students run into some kind of finan­cial crisis during their college years. The emergency loans can. help you make it through the lean times.

Steinmeyer said the loans are available to anyone registered with the required number of credit hours who is responsible enough to pay back the money.

Responsibility is determined in a .

personal interview with Steinmeyer. A Marine Reservist and 1977 graduate of Jefferson High School in Edgewater, Steinmeyer began taking loan applications August 29, but said he expected the money to run out after the first couple of weeks.

"We have a specific amount of money and when that runs out we will have to stop the loans until the outstanding balances are paid. As people pay off their loans, we will be able to loan the money again," Steinmeyer said.

The loans are payable in 30 days,

according to Steinmeyer, with a 10 percent charge added for late pay­ment. The late fee can be waived under extraordinary circumstances, as ~Of!g ~ th~ student works with the office and makes an attempt to pay.

Student Support doesn't limit the number of loans a student can receive, requiring only payment of the outstanding loan before applying for another.

Students who are turned down for loans can appeal the decision to an advisory board made. up of members of Student Government, MSC faculty, the associate vice president for Stu­dent Affairs and the director of Student Services. Steinmeyer chairs the board. -

"I can't imagine turning away anyone who has the ability to repay a loan." Steinmeyer said. "These loans really are available to any Metro student."

Steinmeyer isn't sure what hours the office will be open once classes have started, but said regular hours will be posted on the door of room 255 E of the Student Center next week.

Steinmeyer, a junior at MSC study­ing Aviation Maintenance, s.tepped into a job that is far from routine. One of his first responsibilities is to recover some of the $18,000 in outstanding loans that have accrued since the pro­gram began.

According to Steinmeyer, one out of 10 students will default on their loan, but he is confident that he will be able to keep on top of the program.

"My goal is to get as many of these outstanding loans paid off as possible," Steinmeyer said. "Since we are funded by student fees, payment of these loans will help keep the fees down."

Steinmeyer said his main weapon in the battle to recover delinquent loans is to encumber the records of those still attending MSC. An encumbrance prevents the student from registering for the next semester.

Those who no longer attend the col­lege will be turned over to a state col­lection agency.

Monorail Plans Await Baseball Stadium Decision Auraria's monorail plans will

remain at ground level until Denver city officials decide whether or not they want a new baseball stadium or a parking garage built at the sports complex, according to Special Projects Co-ordinator JoAnn Soker.

The two groups must agree on the exact 1,400 spaces to be leased to Auraria in time for campus administrators to close the finances on the monorail by a self-imposed Jan. 1 deadline or they will choose an alter­native means to deal With the impen­ding parking crunch.

Because of the opening of Tivoli and expected ground breaking for a new classroom building (on the lots east of the athletic building) expected

by January of 1986, combined with · the spaces to be lost to the new W azee and Walnut Viaducts, Auraria direc­tors predict they will lose nearly a third of.existin_g parking spaces.

The immediate answer to the reduced parking space is the Auraria Trolley. Officials thought last year they would have to charge for trolley ,rides from Mile High Stadium this year. But according to Jim Schoemer, acting director of Auraria, a parking committee decided to increase rates for on-campus parking to covet: the costs of operating a trolley.

The ride is free to students with valid campus identification cards and runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Until the city officials decide how they want to utilize the parking lots at

'McNichols Arena and Mile High Stadium, Auraria directors continue to clear the path for the elevated guideway-piece by piece.

Soker said right of way agreements are still pending with the city and the state highway department. But Auraria directors are encouraged, Soker said, that the city has an understanding of the potentially critical parking situation.

The people mover could be oper_a­. tional within six months of ground­breaking, according to Soker.

· "I think we'll beat our deadline," Soker said. "The mayor has been very responsive to our needs and I think we .can get all this worked out." •

Mayor Federico Pena sent a letter to the Auraria Board of Directors requesting they approach the con­struction in two phases.

Phase one would run from the sports complex to the Student Center with the ability to expand to phase two which would continue to an 'undecided point across Speer Boulevard.

Pena also told Auraria officials the sports complex terminal would sit between the Colfax Viaduct and McNichols.

But until all the details are set-and officials get together to cut ribbons and break ground-they will continue to pick through the paper­work and try to meet deadlines.

COLUMNISTS Basketball Could Bring Pride Back · by Dave Sutherland

Good grief, Charlie Brown I So the basketball coach quit ... again. What are we supposed to do, be surprised or shocked? Just look around. This is the big­gest four-year college in the country. So, why don't the people in Castle Rock even know we're here? They know about Regis and DU and Loretto heights. Hell, the people working on the other side of Speer don't know that there are three colleges on this campus, let alone ours. So what's the problem?

The problem is leadership. We have had a chain of college presidents who can't lead. I understand that they have to spend a great deal of their time fighting off the idiotic antics of an uniformed legislature and the biannual attempts of the CU Board of Regents to absorb MSC to prop up their own fail­ing institution. But what about directions and goals set by the college president and then some action to attain those goals and a firm hand on the tiller to keep us in the right direction? Dr. Magelli's column last issue was very nice and it even made me feel good. Then I realized that, hey, I've heard this several times before. But, we are still talking about basketball.

The late Di:.,..Richard Fontera committed MSC to a basketball program. I lik­ed his style. Jle 'said, "Circle the wagons here." H~ dec~on was up front. To be sure, he sought out everyone's advice and thert he made his decision. He told me before he passed on that he was paid to make decisions, and the decisions were his responsibility. He reminded me a little of Harry Truman. But, Dr. Fontera is gone and Dr. GQlding, of ACME College Babysitting and Repair, let the pro­gram go on down the road. He didn't help it along and he didn't stop jt either.

So, what about now? Why can't we have a decision on the future of our

Colegef\"•n•~ MSC Governmen~ Report

ACTIVISM ... Apartheid, famine relief, nuclear disarmament, U.S. intervention in Central

America, consumer advocacy, abortion ... these and many more are issues that confront society. College students have traditionally been on the cutting edge of social change. Over the next several m<;mths Student Government will be addressing dozens of issues-campus issues, community issues, national and world wide issues.

The ASMSC (Associated Students Metropolitan State College) speaks for 17,000 students, consequently when student government makes a policy state­ment, it does so on your behalf. As a dues (i.e. tuition) paying member of the ASMSC you lend your name and your tacit, if apathetic approval to the activities of student government.

Because of the location of Metropolitan State College and because of the large size of our student body, the ASMSC is arguably the most powerful stu­dent association in the state. We can swing a large axe, you can help decide where it lands.

SHOULD WE RAISE STUDENT FEES??? The Student Activities Fee hasn't been raised in several years, but the

demand for student fee money has gone through the ceiling. The past budgeting cycle has seen cuts in nearly every student fee area resulting in ser­vice cuts at the health clinic and legal services. Additional cuts have been made in child care subsidies and other areas. True, a modest increase in student fees would dent all of our pocketbooks, but the improvement in student activities and services could be tremendous. We could again provide basic necessary ser­vices and augment the frills such as concerts, lectures, club activities and so forth. The decision is up to all 17 ,000 of us and it involves more than just rais­ing student fees by a few dollars. The decision to raise student fees demands discussion of the nature of Metropolitan State College and its course for the future. The decision will affect you and the value of your diploma.

On any and all of the above, vote with your feet. The ASMSC office is in Stu­dent Center Room 340C. Tell me wh<.t you want. I'll buy the coffee.

Respectfully yours, Chmtopher T. Dahle

President ASMSC

basketball program? On momentum established by Dr. Fontera, the students have forked over a bunch of student fee cash to get the basketball program going. And now we are back to deciding what we want to do.

Why do we need a committee to decide on basketball's future? If we wanted committees to make decisions we would have hired Mayor Pena as MSC Presi­dent. Then we'd be up to our eyeballs in committees. My committee watchers tell me that the committee that is deciding on the future of our basketball pro­gram (driven by its chair) is considering a move to Division I-that's bigtime ball folks, Georgetown and all that.

Division I? We can't even get a thousand fans when we give away free tickets. Our home basketball court, the Auditorium Arena,will be torn down to help the DCPA feed at the public trough. And AHEC, our local physical plant i.e. the janitors, is more interested in projects with their name on them, like the no-big-names Virginia Slims tennis tournaments that displace our practicing teams from our gym. Isn't this committee considering any of these problems? Why can't they decide to be successful at Division II basketball first?

My case for advancing our basketball program to Division I after it becomes successful in Division 11 is this: this college lacks unity. There is not one reason or quality that all of our ex-students and alumni can identify as ~iated with their school. We have apathy and lethargy amongst our students, faculty, alumni and administration. A commitment to varsity basketball will give us a start toward bringing everyone together. It will help us begin to have en­thusiasm and pride in this college. It's not the only solution, but it is a beginn­ing. And the people in Castle Rock will know there is a college here because they have heard about our Roadrunners or have watched them play.

How about it, Dr. Magelli? Our coach just walked; student pressure to can the program is growing stronger; and those faculty members supporting other sports programs are even busier stabbing the basketball program in the back. We need a decision now, quickly. Students can't afford to fund a basketball program with no solid commitment from the administration. We can spend money better elsewhere and develop other programs with a real future. Come on, Paul. With one little beginning we can rouse our students' enthusiasm; our alumni association might actually come to life; and our faculty might not escape to Boulder so quickly when the school day is out. My little brother might actually hear about MSC and decide to go to college here. We need our main leader to lead right now. Not when the committee makes its decision. ...

Or we can stay the rinky-dink image school like we have been. No identity. No exposure. Waiting to be swallowed up by CU.

I'm so sick of the ble for Denvers and Auraria's parking situation claim that this 1is what you parking rip-offs in downtown area that I hope business profit l~ forces a haveto live with.And since most people today prefer to avoid confrontation, change. Denverites have set themselves up for the "slam-dunk" by re-enforcing the opportunity cost is their acceptance of this outrage like a good lap dog. expensive parking access that downtown shoppers are arbitrarily forced to -Kurt Woodard accept.

Why put up with this inconvenience? The surrounding city suburbs have business districts that provide free parking. So the excuses that try to justify parking overcharges don't interest me. Any city that pushes for the investment of a new convention center and ignores the expensive parking problem will suf­fer an opportunity cost of potential profit growth. Denver business could make more money if parking was free.

Auraria is still up to its own profiteering scams. Eventually it will cost more to park near Auraria during a semester than it will to buy books. Tell me about the benefits of a future monorail system connecting Mile-High Stadium with Auraria. Most of us attending an Auraria school today probably won't see the project completed before we graduate. And when it is completed, do you

There's More to Clinic Than Just Health Care Dear Editor,

I read the article entitled "Clinic Offers Affordable Health Care" in the August 21 THE METROPOLITAN. The Health Clinic is a well run institution at MSC but it costs students approximately one-third of the Student Fees col­lected annually. The services provided should be what is econo91ically ade­quate. A health education nurse and pediatrician are extravagant and are unnecessary to the general population of students paying Student Fees. The Student Affairs Board allocated nearly $650,000 for the fiscal year of '85-'86. The Health Clinic applied for $230,000 and received $197 ,200. The previous

· year the Health Clinic received $205,313. This year's figure was arrived at because the college had a 4' percent reduction in enrollment as did the Health Clinic in funding. While the Health Clinic provides affordable health care, health care is expensive whether funded by taxes or whether it is cash funded .

The article did not mention that the Clinic administers the Student Health Insurance. The health insurance is mandatory with waiver. This means that if

Talk Back to Us, Please As we begin another year of covering campus activities, we're taking some

time to assess our product. It's our job to keep you informed of important events. But more than that, we want to present the stories to you in an enjoyable format.

The most important stories are not usually the most entertaining to read. They contain, however, information essential to the camp4s population.

We want to try and present these articles-often dry in content-:-in a way that encourages you to take time to read about campus events.

Although most of us want to be educated about our environment, we typical-ly don't have time to wade through a stale college newspaper.

We feel you shouldn't have to work so hard to be informed-it should be fun. So talk back. Tell us what you like and don't like and, in return, we'll try to give you a

more palatable product. Last year we sent out readership surveys and found that you want to read

about more campus life than campus decisions. Our answer is MetroStyle. A section devoted to what's around us-the peo­

ple, places and activities that affect the day-to-day life on campus. In this sec­tion we'll focus on faculty, staff, administrators, students and everyone else that make the campus population an interesting group.

So if you know someone or something that you feel is fascinating, tell us about it.

Or if you see something about the paper you particularly enjoy or dislike, by all means, tell us about it.

a student has another form of health insurance he/she may waive the student plan. Note: all students must carry some form of insurance. The Trustees, in their infinite wisdom, require Consortium colleges to require health insurance.

The Student Affairs Board also funds Student Government, ASTRU, Subsidy for students with children in the Auraria Child Care Center, Student Clubs (60 in number), Campus Recreation, Intercollegiate Athletics, Legal Services, Metrosphere, The Flying Team, The Players, Music Activities, Student Sup­port, The Speech Team. Student Activities, The Metropolitan, The MSC Womens Center, and The Lecture Series Program. These organizations are either totally MSC programs or the other institutions are involved.

There is also a Student Facilities and Services Fee. It is $21.00 this year. Two dollars of that fee is being used to bring an on-line telephone registration system, whereby registration can be done over touchtone telephones. The other $19.00 is used to finance the Student Center, the dispersed lounges, and the building of a lounge in the new building on campus, to be constructed on the parking lots to the east of the PER Building.

Denverites Explore <Chinese City Auraria was built on the concept of

cooperation. The original idea encompassed

three schools and all resources the Denver community had to offer, but the Metropolitan State College School of Education has taken this concept several steps-no, several thousand miles-further by sponsoring the first cultural representatives to Kunming, China, Denver's newest sister city.

Denver strengthened her cultural ties with Kunming this summer when a group of 22 Coloradans, teachers, researchers, one truck driver and a part-time MSC professor, traveled to China.

The participants, all from the Denver-Metro area, spent three weeks of the 30-day tour teaching English at the College of Nationalities in Kunming, and studying Chinese and the history of minorities in China.

"This (teaching at the university) was a teacher's paradise," said Carol Miron, head of the Aurora Central High English Department and first-

time traveler to China. "These kids adored us. I have never

seen such enthusiasm for learning." "Our goal of cultural exchange was

achieved," said John Yee, part-time professor at MSC and leader of the group, "we found out what Chinese people, at least some of them, were all about and they found out what we were all about."

The group landed in Hong Kong, which, according to Yee, is a shopper's paradise that rivals Paris, London and New York.

From there, they traveled to Beiiin~ (Peking), the capital of China. The group also went to Shanghai, China's largest city; to Xian, an ancient capital, and to Suzhou, one of China's oldest, most beautiful cities, accor­ding to Yee.

Yee and his travelers were received warmly in Kunming, Yee said, where they were greeted by Mayor Zhu Zhihui. They presented him with let­ters of greetings from both Lt. Gov. Nancy Dick and Mayor Federico Pena.

r MetroStyle 'God's Town' Ruins Awe MSC Students in Mexico Rose Jackson MetroStyle Editor

Breath-taking scenery, ancient ruins and a people still searching for a lost identity made the Metropolitan State College trip to Mexico this sum­mer a roaring success.

The MSC Language and Cultural Institute sponsored its ninth annual trip south of the border this summer for six weeks: three in the classroom studying everything from Mexican history and language to what to wear, and three travelling from Mexico City to the tropical jungle of Palenque and Agua Azul in south-eastern Mexico.

"This summer we explored different parts of archeological Mexico," said David Conde, director of the Institute. "Students also receive an intensive immersion in the native language and culture of Mexico."

A group of 29 students from MSC, Colorado State University and profes­sionals- mainly teachers working toward their recertification-started their journey in Mexico City, the largest city in the world.

"When I arrived in Mexico, the only thing I could ask was, where is the bathroom," said MSC student Lise Geurkink. "I guess I could have told them about Senor Adams, the guy in our textbook."

"I quickly found that there is a big difference between being in a classroom and being dropped in the middle of a country," said MSC stu­dent John Iannessa. "However, by the

time I left Mexico, I could read and understand Spanish, but I still hadn't mastered conjugating verbs fast enough to keep up with native speakers."

Their first impression, and the most powerful, of Mexico was riding the Metro (the subway in Mexico City).

"The first car in the Metro is reserv­ed for women and children only, because a woman is sure to be fondled if she rides in any other car," Geurkink said. "People just stare at you, especially if occasionally a

MSC Student Activities 556-2595

Spanish word comes out of your mouth."

According to Conde, most American students are impressed the first time they see people pour on and off the Metro at rush hour.

Students are usually frightened too, according to Geurkink, because ven­dors selling food and trinkets run up and down the aisles, much like mug­gers do in New York.

The group stayed in Mexico City for four days and then travelled by bus through J ala pa to ~ra Cruz.

"Once we got out of Mexico City, the countryside became like the turn of the century. There were unfinished buildings everywhere- built in the '70s when Mexico received a lot of money for oil exploration," lannessa said. "We had a running joke about the 'modern ruins' ."

"This situation reminded me a lot of the situations with Climax and Parachute, Colorado when when the oil money that was supposed to come in didn't," Geurkink said.

Other differences between American and Mexican cultures soon became evident when the students discovered that Mexican priorities were different from theirs.

"There were no more toilet seats after Jalapa," Geurkink said. "Also, that toilet paper clogs the pipes, so there was always a bucket convenient­ly placed in the restrooms."

The service in restaurants was so different. We could sit for three days and nights and no one would come up to the table unless we called them over-aggressively. Unless, of course, we tried to leave without paying the check," lannessa said

"V\te found, however, that the towns were immaculately clean," said Iannessa. "They may have been old and crumbling, but there was no trash on the streets."

"There were little men in orange suits who were obviously paid to pick up trash. They would be standing around when there were any large groups of people gathered on the streets," Geurkink said. The group travelled from Vera Cruz to San Juan de Ulua where they got

' their first taste of ruins.---San Juan de Ulua is a fort built b}'.

the Indians under the direction cif Cortes in the early 16th century. It is constructed of coral bricks and sits on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

"This is the same fort that Michael Douglas jumped off of when he was chasing the alligator in "Romancing the Stone," Iannessa said.

From San Juan de Ulua, they }'Vent to Palenque. .

"Palenque is a classic city that formed a part of the great cities of the Mayan Renaissance between 150 B. C. and 900 A.O.," Conde said. "These people perfected the use of 'zero' and developed a vigesimal system-a system of counting based on 20 instead of 10.

They had sophisticated perceptions of the universe and the solar system, and had determined that the sun was the center of the solar system instead of the earth when the Europeans were still afraid of falling off the edge of the world," Conde said.

"Palenque is God's town," Iannessa said. "I want to retire there."

"When we got to the interior we found that people like Americans," Iannessa said. "They were a hard­working people, and could not understand why they didn't have as much as we do."

"I got the feeling that they were try­ing to relearn the heritage that was taken from them."

Palenque is made up of a series of pyramids used as platforms for taber­nacles, according to Conde.

"This civilization was a theocracy in the ancient world, and it flourished until the people began to lose faith because of drought and famine. Sur­vival then became the foremost con­cern and the cities were destroyed or abandoned,'' Conde said.

The grqup spent two days in Palen­que and then went to Catemaco, where they celebrated the Fourth of July with oyster cocktail and the breaking of a pinata.

"Catemaco is also the center of sorcery today," Conde said. "Every year they hold conventions here. You sense that .something extra-sensory is going on here."

The people don't see a conflict between sorcery and Catholicism, according to Conde, because both belief systems grew from the organic world. Both systems deal with the supernatural, whether it be miracle or magic.

From Catemaco, the group went back to Mexico City in time to witness the elections.

"Sunday the seventh was election day and nobody voted. There were demonstrations and wall murals against the current administration," Iannessa said. "The next day there was a joke going around the people on the street saying 'you know who won?' and telling each other with mock sur­prise-a lot like we did here in the States when Reagan won last year."

"I lCnow this is cliche, but I really did learn more about myself by tour­ing Mexico," Janessa said. "Americans tend to live such close-minded, sheltered lives. I feel like Dorothy when she landed in Oz, and opened the door and peaked out-in three weeks I feel like I've just opened the door to Mexico and peaked out.

DENVER DENVER Crime of Passion Evokes Apathy

On July 13, 1955 Ruth Ellis was hung in Holloway prison, 23 days after being found guilty of murdering her lover, David Blakely. She was the last woman ever to be executed in Great Britain. The case caused a sen­sation at the time, and it is this historical incident upon which Mike Newell's film, Dance with a Stranger is based. Newell and screen­writer Shelagh Delaney are uninterested in the crime itself, their focus is on the two lovers, and on Desmond Cussen, Ellis' loyal and sub­dued gentleman caller.

Newell and cinematographer Peter Hannan have made a powerful piece, a smoky collage of visual emotion. Utilizin1t many elements of classic film noir, they have succeeded marvelously in discovering the dark, explosive side of human love and hate. Indeed, the shadows, contrasts of light, the distorted vision and visual entrapments serve well to underscore the close and ultimately destructive relationship between love and hate. The film's visual concentration on powerful emotion reminds one of last year's "Choose Me", and "Dance With. a Stranger" is similarly well made, well acted, well thought out. However, "Dance With a Stranger'' lacks an ingredient crucial to a fine film; it fails to sustain the interest of the viewer. In short, before the film

ends we have ceased caring about any of the characters. We don't care about them as representations of some shared humanity, and we finally don't care about what happens to them.

Rupert Everett is intensely sullen as the playboy David Blak~y, who behaves boorishly, and who is an ass. Ian Holm is endearing as Cussen, who is at first pathetic and finally repulsive as the willing doormat to the film's twisted femme fatale. Miranda Richardson's film debut as Ruth Ellis is a wonderful triumph. Richardson is compelling, vulnerable and beautiful, · something of a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Kathleen Turner.

These characters have behaved poorly and suffered poor treatment. They have been base and common one time too many for our empathy to remain intact.

The film is crisply edited and moves methodically, building subtle tension un its way to the climactic, violent act. We feel the tension as we feel the passion; we are enve_loped by them, at times overwhelmed. But the film is not mean.t as a documentary on human emotion, and we are left neither loving nor hating any action or char~cter; we are left rather with overwhelming apathy, which is a

-distressing way to feel about ,such a crime of passion.

DENVER DENVER Bon Jovi Metal-Delightful

Bon Jovi's follow up to its first album, "Bon ]ovi," is called "7800 Farenheit." Is it really that hot? The answer is "yes." With this album, Bon J ovi has firmly established a sound all its own. It's still heavy metal, but it's Bon ]ovi metal.

What surprised and delighted me most about the album is that it's heavier than the first one. The slick leads and harmonics are reminiscent of Warren Diamartini's on the Ratt Disc. Bon Jovi's sound has stabilized into a harder, but slicker sound in comparison to its first album.

Another refreshing topic: lyrics. Jon Bon Jovi's lyrics have a maturity beyond their years-even walking the line of being truly poetic. Let's face it, anyone can think of words that rhyme, but few can give them mean-

ing. I can think of quite a few songs that start with three lines of lyrics, chorus, then another three lines of lyrics, then chorus, chorus, chorus, then fades. Bon Jovi's are more com­plex than that. A lot of tunes, metal and non-, rely on their high-glo5S music (licks, leads, synthesizers, etc.) to support their . next-to-nothing words. Bon J ovi is not only looking for the musical aspect, but also the lyrical aspect, and I believe they've accomplished this. That's talent.

Their first single off the album "Jn and Out of Love" is moving up the charts with help from airplay and the video. "Only Lonely;" a featured song on the album, is very catchy also, but has a very different type of sound than the single. It's heavy, but "Only Loney" has a sensitivity about it that makes it memorable. The same is true for "Tokyo Road," the ballad. All the songs on this album are likeable, although some more than others.

What if you're not a heavy metal fan? That's O.K., you'd like it anyway. It's worth buying. If you are a heavy metal fan it's a must. Bon Jovi definitely has talent and won't stay an opener for long (Bon Jovi is currently touring as a warm-up act for RA TT). With their next album, they should be headlining. ·

Bon J ovi will open for RA TT Wednesday September 11, at Red Rocks.

Sting Does the Rocks Sting, otherwise known as Cordon

Sumner, put on an outstanding show at Red Rocks last Wednesday.

The ex-Police lead singer combined his exceptional singing ability with a touch of jazz, R & B and a good-old back beat of rock'n roll.

Band member Branford Marsalis (brother of trumpeter Winston) burned on the sax and provided a jazzy interlude during songs such as: "Consider Me Gone," "Shadows in the Rain," and "Moon Over Bourbon Street."

Police songs such as a remake of "Shadows in the Rain," "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take" caught the audience's ear and drew a warm round of applause.•

Sting is a multi-talented performer, and showed that he does not need the Police to express his talent.

The new Sting is here, the old Sting is gone, but a new sound has evolved. With this, Sting has a whole new listening audience.

Feminism

There are too many women in this room, this meeting. They call me, a newcomer, by my full name, "Katrina, Katrina, Katrina . .. " rounding out the edges like a lie. "Kat." I want to tell them and I feel the tomboy in me edging towards the dgor, shying away from the cigarettes and lingering eyes. I bury my hands in my pockets, only letting one out to clasp the cold metal of the doorknob. "Katrina . . . don't leave ... come meet ... Katrina . .. " "No," I say, "No. I have to go workout." I shouldn't have told them that. "Wonderful! Oh wonderful!" (Quick come look/ This one puts the shot/ Can we use her?) . Everything is wonderful,. they say. I want a small dark corner where I can dump my anger quietly, where well-lined hands of people whose palms, I recognize, pat my back. These women's hands are too warm, to young, too oddly shaped to hold comfortably in a long line, in a march, in a war.

Outside in the dark alley with the green dumpster, I wish my voice would stop trembling like a nervous child reciting a lesson, stumbling over the big words, the important words, wondering what they mean, sitting red faced and close mouthed for a long time after. A dusty yellow-striped cat curls its matted tail around my ankle. I pick it up and feel the rumble of a purr in my hands.

A man passes. I know him well. His forehead is creased and wide. His delicate hands are stuffed in large knots in his pockets. I want him to pass too close, to touch me as I curve one leg up between his legs. I want him to kiss me and f--- me hard into the brick wall before I turn my back and walk inside. Before I take his hand and ask him to come wiih me.

SPORTS Commission Recommends Division II Bob Darr New Ediror

The committee that has been study­ing the future of intercollegiate athletics at MSC since April recom­mended Metro implement a policy to upgrade the program and pursue a National Collegiate Athletic Associa­tion Division II intercollegiate pro­gram committed to excellence, leav­ing open the option of moving up to Division I in the future.

Athletics Commission Chairman, Dr. Adolph Grundman, said the committee made its recommendation last week after studying programs at six schools similar to Metro and hiring a consultant to look at the current situation here.

Cedric W. Dempsey, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Recreation and Intramurals at the University of Arizona, Tucson, conducted a study and presented an overall assessment of the athletic programs at MSC to the commission and college president Paul Magelli and presented three alternatives the college could explore.

Dempsey recommended MSC develop a goal of a Division I pro-

gram, but with an initial commitment to NCAA Division II competition.

"Any long range plan should have steps built in where the school could stop and take a look at the situation and decide what direction or course of action should be taken," Dempsey said.

Another alternative Demsey explored was to develop a competitive program in the NCAA Division II or National Association of Inter­collegiate Athletics (NAIA).

Metro currently holds membership · in both associations and competes in NCAA Division II mens basketball.

The third alternative Dempsey offered is to eliminate intercollegiate athletic competition entirely. Demp­sey said he found little support for cancellation among th~ he spoke to.

Dempsey arrived at these conclu­sions after interviewing members of the faculty, staff and student body of MSC, as well as representatives of the Denver community.

Dempsey said the athletic depart­ment should take immediate steps to hire a secretary, add another equip­ment manager and determine where the men's basketball team will play

during the 1986 season. This year the games will be played at the Auditorium Arena, but the arena will not be available next year.

Magelli said discussions are under way to determine if the existing facilities in the Physical Education building can be used on an interim basis. He added that the AHEC board recently authorized funds for a study of the feasibility of building a new fieldhouse on the Auraria campus.

In order to use the gym for basket­ball games, portable bleachers and a new floor would have to be installed.

Dempsey said the money spent to upgrade the gym would provide an immediate solution to the problem of

where the men's basketball team would play next year while giving the women's basketball and volleyball teams and adequate facility for the future.

Dempsey noted that although most of the administrators, faculty, staff artd students he interviewed desire a quality athletic program, · there are ~ome weaknesses that MSC will have to overcome in order to build a good program.

He cited the general student apathy present on many college campuses, and a lack of name recognition and overall philosophy for the athletic program as prime obstacles to upgrading Metro's intercollegiate

Men's Soccer rleads" to Defeat The MSC Mens Soccer team lost by

scoring the single point in the game for the University of Col­orado-Colorado Springs at Auraria, Friday.

Coach Bill Chambers said the Metro team held UCCS so effectively the visitors never took a shot at the goal in the second half.

"I'd say it was a pretty even game," Chambers said. "We had more (at­tempts at a goal) but didn't get them in. That's the important part."

But while trying to defend a play close to the UCCS goal, one of the MSC players bounced the ball into the net.

"He was trying to knock the ball out of bounds with his head but it went into the goal," Chambers said. "That's a ,.eal embarrassing way to lose."

The unusual way the team lost, Chambers said, doesn't reflect a shab-by team. .

The first game of the year was against a typically tough team- the MSC Alumni.

On the positive side, Dempsey said that Denver is one of the largest cities in the country that doesn't have Divi­sion I basketball.

"There is a void of Division I athletics in the Denver area. Metro may be the insitution to provide it in the future," Dempsey said.

Dempsey said he felt that a quality men's basketball program could com­pete for the entertainment dollars in the metropolitan area.

The key to building a quality pro­gram at Metro, according to Demp­sey, is building a sound financial base from within the iristitution.

"You can't build a quality program by relying on money from the outside," Dempsey said.

Dempsey estimated that it would take about $250,000 to up-grade the program.

Gunderman said the committee calculated that a $10 increase in stu­dent fees would raise about $320,000 in two semesters.

Magelli will make a decision about the future of intercollegiate athletics at Metro later this year.

"I need some guidance from everyone involved before I make a decision on where to go with the athletic program," Magelli said. "Whatever I decide, the students must be involved."

Any decision Magelli makes must be approved by the Consortium of State Colleges, MSC's governing board. D
