-­,. STUDENT MARCH DRAWS OVER 1200 PROTESTORS

JBC PROPOSAL CONFlJISES ~ AURARIA ADMINISTRATORS

· 1

by Emerson Schwartzkopf

Over 1200 students from various Color-ado schools converged on the State Capitol March 9 to protest higher education fund­ing cutbacks proposed by the state legislature's Joint Budget Committee (JBC).

Organized by students from the Universi­ty of Colorado-Denver (UCD), the Capitol protest-highlighted by the appearance of Governor Richard Lamm-culminated a

,.... - week of "teach-ins," demonstrations, and a Friday morning march from the Auraria

£ Higher Education Center. "The (the march a(ld protest) is just the

first part of our fight," said UCD Student Chancellor E.B. Van Otterloo during a pre-march rally at the Auraria Student Cen­ter. "We 're out to save education in

~ Colorado." Individuals from :Vletropolitan State Col­

lege (MSC), the three Community College of Denver (CCD) campuses-Auraria, North and Red Rocks-and the other Colorado

. ~ schools joined UCO students and staff Fri­day in marching through downtown Denver

"'" to a noon rally at the Capitol. Throughout the march and rallies, pro­

testors chanted "Save UCD" and "JBC don't be so tight" while carrying pro- UCO and anti- JBC signs.

Speakers at both the pre-march and capi-~ tot rallies said the JBC proposals call for the

reduction of over 150 full - time faculty and 3000 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) students at UCD.

- ~

Rally speakers also stressed the protest was pro-education, and not anti-MSC.

Rob Prince, a CCD-Red Rocks staff member, said before the march the JBC proposals are "an attempt to vocationa]ize and lobotomize Denver metropolitan edu­cation."

"Everybody's a victim," Prince said, re­ferring to the state-wide budget cuts pro­posed by the JBC. "They're (the JBC) trying to cut $200 million from Colorado higher education. continued on page 3

The legislature's Joint Budget Com­mittee's (JBC's) recommendations for the "solution" of Auraria 's duplication prob­lems may have halted any real progress to­wards a solution from within Auraria.

Harold Haak, University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) chancellor, told the Senate Education Committee March 8 the JBC's actions recommending a "cap" on UCD en­rollment-and the transfer of undergraduate

degree programs to Metropolitan State Col­lege (MSC)-"pre-empted" the internal pro­cess to eliminate, consolidate or jointly operate duplicative programs and support services.

"What's the use of all this effort?" Haak asked committee chairman State Sen. Hugh Fowler (R-LittJetoh). "I'm hostile about that kind of process."

In January, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) asked the Auraria Board, MSC, UCD, and the Community of College of Denver at Auraria (CCD-A) to sub­mit recommendations to the CCH E hy ;\1ay 4 concerning the future of duplicative aca­demic programs and the shared campus services. The CCHE will then make recom­me ndations to the legislature about the future of Auraria.

The JBC's recommendations on UCO, re­portedly contained in the draft of the "long hill," halted negotiations between :\1SC and UCD, UCO faculty members said.

Haak told his faculty and staff March 6 the JBC's plan would eliminate as many as 155 faculty positions.

Haak based his comments on tape record­ings of JBC meetings. The university has never been formally told of the JBC 's plan, Haak said.

UCO faculty members voted March 6 to condemn the legislative recommendations and approved a resolution asking l\ISC to be merged with UCD under the Board of Re­gents, according lo a March 7 story in tJw Sil­ver and Gold Record. continued on page 2

"This is my definition of a crin;i.e." Paul Kopecky, UCD Vice .Chancellor for ·

Student Affairs, said at the pre-march rally his area would probably lose 12 staff posi­tions under the JBC proposals.

State Senator Sam Zakhem (R-Denver) told the marchers at Auraria to "keep up the good work."

"I'll see you at the statehouse," Zakhem said.

Following the march down the sidewalks of downtown Denver- the marchers not having a city. parade permit to march in the street - participants heard a variety of speakers on the west steps of the State Capitol.

Lamm asked for the patience of the protestors as the state " tries to fit a 12 per cent (budget increase) need into a seven per cent (mandated) increase." "Thi~ is a decision for Solomons," Lamm

said, "and, as you can see, none of us a­round here are Solomons."

" I hope I will be able to help you out,,. Lamm added.

Ruben Valdez, former state House Speaker, told protestors at the capitol " not lo give up. "

" You 're gonna win," Valdez said. Franz Roehmann, UCD College of Music

associate dean, called upon all institutions at Auraria - UCD_,MSC, and CCD-Auraria- to "sit down and, deal with the problems."

"UCD students," Roehmann said, " have Lhe chance to shape their own destiny."

The J BC , she said, based their re­commendations on federal financial aid authorization figures. The actual change in federal aid, based on current appropriation figures, show federal aid to Colorado to he "virtually stable," she said.

She said the appropriations data shows a 1.6 per cent increase in the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, a 1.2 per cent increase in the federal work-study pro­gram, and a 49 per cent decrease in for the NationaJ Defense Student Loan (NDSL).

Consciousness by Sally Williams

Sam Kirk's new bread baking class is de­finitely not for women only .

In fact, Kirk views his class-being held every Thursday evening in March at the St. Francis Interfaith Center-as a means to raise the consciousness of the male partici­pants in the course.

Kirk sees himself as a "house spouse," claiming to do " over 90 per cent" of the coo king for his own household. Kirk believes baking can be a way to "express creativity," and feels satisfaction "teaching

by the slice something which uses the hands as well as the head.''

Kirk says his biggest frustration is attempting to select a few breads out of his vast repertoire appealing to the varied tastes of the 33 persons enrolled in the class.

For this reason he uses recipes in the class including Jewish challas, Scottish scones, and Navaho fry bread.

"My ultimate g0al," Kirk says, "is to have a cooking show on television." Until then, though, Kirk will continue to teach his "Bread Baking-Not for Women Only" class every semester at the Interfaith Cen­ter.

Your feature article on Iran, Feb. 21, 79, waz to say· the leasl, a disappointment.

After my in-depth interview with Ms. Ed­wards on what waz happening in Iran and what the future of my country might be, I expected more than a jumbled beginning and ending about an unknown Iranian nam­ed Ali, sentences left hanging, off-the-wall references about physical appearance and the overall unclearness of the article. What could have been an informative article on the politcal problems of Iran turned to he a weak human interest story.

Mostafa Kazemi Gowhari

"TOP OF THE MORNING"

On St. Patrick's Day we honor those Americans of Irish ancestry. On this day the country pays homage to the contr­ibution they have made to America.

Fleeing from the great Irish potato fam­ine in the 1940s they found themselves vir­tually penniless in the slums of New York and Boston where they were regarded as an invasion and a curse, forced to accept the humiliation of notices that said, "No Irish Need Apply." These Irish immigrants and their ancestors wrote a stirring chapter in our American history.

The Irish laborers were called "paddies" because so many of them were named Pat­rick after the patron saint of Ireland.

People made fun of their clothes, their brogue and their religion. They were dis­c riminated against but the new country needed them and the U.S. was growing rapidly and spreading out across the con­tinent. Irish laborers dug the Erie Canal. The first transcontinental railroad was the Union Pacific. Most of the work was done by the Irish and as they pushed west, Chi­nese and Mexican laborers joined them. The Irish mined coal and worked in garment factories. They were instrumental in organi­zing the first labor unions.

The Irish entered politics by being elec­ted ward supervisors. This in turn lead to their election to high office. Eleven out of 36 presidents were of Irish ancestry. But with all their success in public office the Irish Catholics still faced prejudice even as late as the presidential election of 1960. It was a day of triumph for them when John F. Kennedy became the first Irish Catholic president and proved ia his brief term of of­fice that he was loyal foremost to the Unit­ed States.

The Irish have served with distinction in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and 2, the Korean War and Vietnam. Many men of Irish ancestry won the Con­gressional Medal of Honor.

A love of words led the Irish into writing and Eugene O'Neil, a famous playwright, won the ohel Prize. John O'Hara and Edwin O'Connor became well known novel­ists. The artistic and imaginative side of the Irish produced composers such as Victor Herbert, and George M. Cohan. The field of entertainment paid the Irish for doing what came naturally to them. They have taken their talents to the stage, movies and TV.

NEWS ANALYSIS

by Emerson Schwartzkopf

This is the story of a march March 9 to protest funding cutback proposals at the University of Colorado-Denver (UCO) by the Joint Budget Committe(JBC).

This is also the story of a "media event"-an event staged ph'otogenically for television cameras.

The question involved is this: which was more important, the idea or the media?

The answer lies somewhere in the imple­inenation of the protest last Friday. Actual­ly, the story begins three days before, on March 6. Several Denver television (hence­forth affectionately known as TV) stations carried film of a "UCD student protest" at the Auraria Student Center.

At least two local TV newscasts showed a group of UCO students walking in front of the student center, carrying pro-UGO signs and chanting '·save UCO." KMGH (channel 7), in filming the "protest," showed a bit of "media event" as well.

The KMGH film began with the students standing still, as a group. Almost as if on a sig­nal, the students started walking by the TV camera-most looking into the lens-and dis­appeared into the front door of the student center.

Total time outside the center: 40 seconds . Number of spectators shown by the camera: none.

The protest did continue inside the center,

James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Laurette Tay­lor, Helen Hayes, Spencer Tracy, Gene Kel­ly, Maureen 0 'Hara, Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby are only a few of the famous Irish entertainers.

So on this St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1979 we at the Auraria campus join the rest of the nation in paying tribute to our Irish Americans! !!!!!!

hut the outside episode poses, for the first time, the question of the idea or the media playing the important role.

On March 9, the questions surfaces again with the "long march "from the Auraria Stu­dent Center to the west steps of the State Capitol. The appearance of the TV cameras at the pre-march rally was expected, but what happens after that ....

The marchers-four to five abreast, in a column over two city blocks long-began down Lawrence, turing at 14th Street along the East Classroom (Tower) Building, and turning again at Arapahoe.

At 15th and Arapahoe, a Chevrolet Sub­urban Wagon pulled up, and a KWG!\' (chan­nel 2) camerman jumped out to begin filming. The front of the march, replete with a "Save UCD" banner, stopped for a mo­ment, then continued.

The marchers turned at 16th Street, head­ing towards downtown and the capitol. At 16th and Champa, a KBTV (channel 9) camerman ·crouched over his sidewalk-level camera. He motioned the marchers to keep coming, while peering into his viewfinder. The marchers walked around the camera on both the left and the right, giving a "parting of the sea" effect.

Downtown shoppers stared at the march­ers and ducked into the closest store or door­way. Three blocks from the KBTV camera, Ken Montoya and a KOA (channel 4) camerman waited for the march to reach them.

Montoya and the cameraman stood across the street from the front of the march. "Wait until they 're across and right here before you

....- fifteen minutes of the demonstration . At . noon, however, the cameramen hunched be­'hin d their instruments and aimed their cameras.

The vans were from KMGH and KBTV. Both stations have mid-day newscasts-at noon.

After a few minutes-in the middle of one r·of the speeches-both camermen relaxed.

The live news shot was over. The protest, however, kept in full swing.

Unfortunately, almost no one inside the capitol knew about what went on outside.

• Incredibly, the only distinctive student voices heard inside the capitol emanated

lo-from the rotunda, where a singing group from Mesa College (Grand Junction) sere­naded the legislators. Lobbyists, legislators, and other spectators- including Auraria Board of Directors Chairman Dean Punke- were unaware of the protest.

.)-- 'l;he protest continued, wi~h. a _few legis· lators-such as Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Arvada) walking out to speak a few words to the protestors. Sen. Hugh Fowler (R-Litlleton)- author of a bill to merge UCD

,.. _ with Metropolitan State College-strode to the west door of the capitol.

- "Maybe we ought to have the singers go out and entertain the crowd," Fowler of­fered.

"Well, I'm for them," he said, jerking his thumb towards the protestors and walking away.

.r The protest, in full steam for an hour, now ' played literally to an empty House ... and Senate. The legislators walke<l out the side doors-away from the protest- for lunch.

Finally, a few reporters asked if the Gover­nor would make an appearance. "Yes, Dick will he out in a hit" was the usual answer

Along 16th Street - ''JBC don't be so tight."

I '' ........ , . . .

In front of the Capitol - carefully constructed media event?

from any of the UCO organizers. A preliminary stake-out of the governor's

office proved fruitless when Bob Weiss of the Rocky Mountain News informed the gather­ed reporters Gov. Lamm was approaching from the side of the capitol.

Gathered reporters rushed out-to find . TV cameras alread) in position.

Throughout the protest. the crowd was or­der! y, well-mannered, and enthusiastic. Their intent is not in question- the crowd was honestly concerned and active.

However, some other entity- the plan­ners , the implementors, or the media itse lf- manipulated and orchestrated the protest and the crowd to the best benefits of the TV camera.

Somewhere ... somewhere in the March 9 protest lies the answer to the question of the march, the rallies, the whole intent of the protest versus the media. The march and ral­lies, in the short and long term, will he re­membered either as an honest outpouring of student feeling-or a carefully constructed media event.

And, the final memory will make a dif­ference with both the legislature and the public.

G y m n a st s · :I ea p i·n to possible r·ecognition·

by Bernie Decker

The road that leads from the obscurity of club-level athletics to the recognition of a club as a varsity sport is a long and difficult one.

Coach Eric Fulcomcr and the Metro­politan State College (MSC) Gymnastics Club have embarked on a journey down

· that road. In order to he elevated from club to

varsity sport status, the team must he com­petitive. The team musl be able to measure up to its opposition.

The gymnastics team showed it could last month al Ul'\C, losing to Northern

Colorado by a close 148-175 margin. The UNC team is ranked nationally. _ ... Dr. Marc Rabinoff, MSC Men's Athletic

Director, supports the gymnasts and feels­therc is little doubt in a few years the team could attain NCAA ranking.

Coach Eric Fulcomer noted that, "we've already got excellent facilities at the col­lege."

As a club, the 15-member team receives ~ nominal financial support from the college, · around $100 per semester. The coach and memhe,rs donate their time freely, and co­ver expenses themselves.

The next gymnastics meet is at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 17, at the MSC gym.

A packed Macky Auditorium audience in Boulder gave BeJla Abzug a standing ova· tion as she promptly hut casually strolled onstage at 8 p.m. March 7.

LIBRARY HOURS

Some persons refuse to believe spring break is a vacation.

For those who must avail themselves of the Auraria Libraries over the break, the schedule is as follows:

March 17: 9 a.m.-4p.m. March 18: closed March 19-23: Noon-6 p.m. March 24: Closed March 25: Noon-8 p.m.

?

Having a strong desire to he a lawyer since the age of 11, Ahzug wrote to Har­vard Law School in 1942-only to be re­jected specifically because of her sex. Filled with disappointment, Abzug took the prob­lem to her mother, who talked Bella into going to Columbia University instead.

The outspoken native of the Bronx in­formed the audience 63 per cent of those living below the poverty level in- the U.S. are women, the national unemployment figures are higher for women than men, and there are now fewer women professors than ever before.

CLASSIFIED

Ahzug grinned: "When there was no women's movement you went to your mother."

Abzug zealously encouraged the strug­gling law students in the audience to keep pursuing law - particularly women-for "women are invisible in government and in­visible in law," and firmly reminded the audience they are living in a "distorted and unbalanced kind of democracy" where wo­men are not equally represented.

Quoting figures from a Harris poll (taken in conjunction with ABC News), the femi­nist leader informed her followers that it appears the women's movement is sup· ported by the majority of people in this country.

Ahzug boasted the outcome of the poll showed that 52 per cent of persons inter­viewd were against the firing of Abzug from her unpaid position as co-chairperson of the National Advisory Committee for Women.

President Carter terminated Abzug from the committee last January without due cause. The committee had been critical of

Mr. Carter has also recently mentioned an increase in our country's military bud­get, and Congress reminded him one of his campaign promises was not to do that . .

After Abzug's committee shared all of this with the President, Ahzug was asked to leave the Committee.

" How can we pretend we 're a country of law and justice?" Abzug asked.
