Blaze guts warehouse near campus Dave Plank Reporter

Two transients have been arrested and are under investigation for first-degree arson after a two-alarm fire destroyed a building

£ near campus Tuesday.

There were no injuries in the blaze. Jeffrey Griess, 23, and Edward Long, 25,

had lived in the building for two weeks before the fire, and were apprehended at the scene by Auraria Public Safety officers who then turned them over to Denver Police. As of late Wednesday night, they were in cus-

tody but had not been charged with the crime.

The building, located at 900 Wewatta St, and owned by the Rio Grande Railroad, previously housed the American Roofing Co. It had been vacant for approximately 18 months and was scheduled for demoli­tion in the near future, according to Denver Assistant Fire Chief Thomas Abbott

Flames fueled by asphalt and other petro­leum products stored in the building shot 30 feet into the air, and plumes of smoke were visible for miles.

"It was the tar and roofing materials that made all the smoke," said Capt. Chafles McMillan, public information officer for the Denver Fire Department. "We were con­cerned that four tanks filled with oil inside the building would burst, but the fire was controlled in time."

Firefighters responding to the blaze intially had trouble getting their equipment close enough to fight it because of the hundreds of students' cars parked in the area.

"We had a lot of trouble," Abbott said "You can move a Volkswagen around in there OK, but not one of our big rigs."

Abbott said it had not been decided whether the fire department would com-

plain to Auraria about the problem. Another concern of firefighters at the

scene was the presence of Public Service Co. transformers, which had ruptured from the heat and were feared to contain Polychlori­natedbiphenyl (PCB), a toxic compound once used for industrial purposes. PCB has been outlawed as a cancer-causing pollutant

Public Service workers were sent to help firefighters in case any of the dangerous chemical was present.

Public Service officials later said, how­ever, that there was no danger of PCB leak­age because they stopped using equipment containing the chemical years ago.

"As far as we know, there were no PCBs in any of those transformers," said Peggy Morton, a spokesman for Public Service.

Abbott said, however, that no one would know for certain whether the transformers contained PCB until they were tested. He added that they were probably safe, though, because most of the transformers in the downtown area have been replaced since the ban on the chemical.

"I'd be real surprised if there was anything dangerous about those transformers," he said D

NEWS-----------------~ .. Office space craillps part-tiillers' style, students suffer

Gary Salvuccl Reporter

The room is 11 feet by 15 feet, has white , walls and no wingows. It's a small, crowded

room, with two desks, seven chairs and two tables. This room is the office of 19 faculty members on the Auraria Campus.

Central Classroom 21 lE accommodates the office of 19 part-time members of the MSC English department. According to

< some of the teachers, holding office hours in the room is almost impossible.

"Physically, we cannot hold our office hours in there," said English faculty member Ida Steven. Until she and two other teachers were moved, she was one of 22 people originally assigned to the office.

Steven explained that during office hours, one must have "the ability to sit down at a desk, spread your papers out and teach your students." She said she feels this is not possible in the office.

Tom Kerr, who also has office hours in ~- 211E, feels that sharing office hours with

another teacher affects the quality of his student meetings.

Kerr said his composition students would be reluctant to talk openly in a conference with many people in the office.

"Sometimes the things you write about are private," Kerr said.

Steven said that on one occasion four teachers were trying to hold office hours as

students stood waiting in a line outside the door.

Steven criticiud the lack of personal space in the office and said conditions didn't allow teachers to leave their books and belongings in the office unattended.

'THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS-----Student gov't

favors Metro

to run campus Chad Morris Government Editor

Well, I hate to admit it, but I actually agree with something Bruce DeWitt said.

For more strange but true tales, student government came up with a concrete stand on an issue. No bickering or whining any more.

Last Saturday during a marathon session, members of the Student Government Offi­cials Forum (SGOF, for lack of a better acronym) determined their positions on the Patterson report.

By positions, I mean minority and majority positions. And in this case, which model student government has decided they will favor when their representative speaks to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education Nov. 3. OK, I know the suspense is lolling you, so here it is: The Minority position is in favor of model 3 - merging the schools into one big school, thus eliminating most of the bureaucracy that makes going to Metro so unique.

The majority position favors model 2. This proposal would eliminate AHEC and place Metro in charge of running the cam­pus. This would take care of one level of bureaucracy, but opponents such as Bruce DeWitt and Dan Becker feel it would only move it from Auraria Higher Education Center to Metro. It might even consist of the same people.

I agree with this. Metro will be saddled with running the campus (i.e., the Physical Plant and Public Safety) and they will have to find qualified personnel to do it. Who

better than those who are already doing it? I can't see a school as budget-concious as MSC launching a major hiring campaign when they can simply move Morgan Smith & Co. straight over to their payroll.

It's a Band-Aid where major surgery is required.

Model 3 is not all sweetness and light either, but it offers the opportunity for this campus to lift itself up and become a real university that anyone could go to.

Opponents, like CU-Denver Student President Theresa Kascack and Metro Stu­dent Senator Zack Zoah, feel the merger would destroy the individual roles and mis­sions of the schools as well as their academic identities.

But the essential advantage to model 2 is that it's not proposing a drastic change to campus organiz.ation. Theoretically, it should be easier to generate support for it than for the more extreme model 3.

But if you think model 3 is on the edge, what about this idea proposed by Becker: merge the schools and then eliminate Met-

ro's participation in the Colorado Consor-tium of Colleges.

According to Becker, the consortium has been living off Metro long enough and it's time they stopped. Metro's membership fees

~;

are supporting rural colleges like Red Rocks and Grand Junction and Metro isn't getting any of the benefits that go along with it. ,;, Merging the schools and creating an urban professional university would give Metro the power to get out from under the consortium.

Definitely food for thought, as they say. Some of this will be available for public •

consumption Nov. 9, when Metro's student government will sponsor a public forum on the Patterson report. Students will have a chanc;e to see such campus celebrities as Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice-president of student affairs, Dr. Thomas Brewer, MSC president (now, how many of you already knew that?) and other notables.

Plan to attend, this may be your only chance to get in on what's happening before the CCHE decides for good next month. D

Student political indifference reigned on campus when only eight students attended a debate between Colorado representatives of the Bush and Dukakis campaigns in the North Classroom, Oct. 28.

A highlight of the debate came when David Cunningham, student organizer for the Colorado. Dukakis campaign, argued conservativism to be just a "trend," much like liberalism was in the 1960s.

"It is more fashionable to be considered a republican - it is associated with money," Cunningham said. Due to the low turnout, students who

Soviet praises glasnost Elena Frldland Reporter

Gorbachev's reforms are called the blood­less revolution, the head of the North Amer­ican Service of Radio Moscow said Tues­day, Oct. 25.

'- "As in any revolution, people are divided into camps," Pavel Kuznetsov said

Compared to Stalin's bloody purges, Gorbachev does make th~ changes seem peaceful. Kumetsov said a tremendous power struggle is going on, but that glasnost and

:.:- perestroika, in his opinion, were inevitable. "Lenin's warning about Stalin from his

deathbed was ignored," Kunetsov said. "Stalin made the system into a dictatorship. Perhaps we should take a fresh new look at socialism to radically change it. Gorbachev

troika means internal rebuilding, he ex­plained. Since Gorbachev assumed power 3~ years ago, there has been "unthinkable change."

j:- "There were extensive reports on organ-ized crime. Our organized crime is like yours - prostitution, protection money," he said. "To many people it was a rude awakening of change in our society. Perestroika is some­thin~ we need badly at home; it's not just

Standing on the platform, under all the lights, Kuznetsov said he felt like he was part of the campaign for president of the United States.

"But mine is a campaign for glasnost and

perestroika," he said to a crowd of about 200 in the Student Center.

He said his wife, who is not a political person, was impressed with Gorbachev when he spoke - he was a dynamic, charismatic speaker who delivered his speeches without the aid of notes and made eye contact with the audience.

"Maybe if he could run for president here, he wouldn't do so badly. At least he's got substance," Kuznetsov said. He explained that he wasn't taking any shots, the thought had just occurred to him.

Speaking about U.S.-Soviet relations, he said people really liked John F. Kennedy, but were scared when Nixon took power. Yet, strangely enough, there were treaties made.

"President Reagan calling U.S.S.R. an evil empire hurt and angered us. But in the end he had enough foresight to call Gorba­chev his friend. And despite Dan Quayle, George Bush might not be bad," he said.

Kuznetsov said that some Soviet people think that perhaps they are going too far too fast. Many people are scared and many just want to wait it out, but millions are behind Gorbachev and his policies. Despite a lot of apprehension and fear about the changes, there are people who want to help Gorbachev.

In correct but accented English, Kuznetsov spoke of a noted Soviet scientist who acknowledged that although the Soviets are advanced in space and physics, the rest of their sciences are substandard. The scientist advocated the need for independent press, TV and radio stations and said the press should play the role of the watchdog.

Soviet Journ1llat Pavel Kuznetsov. "As we're bec<>ming more open, we're up :

becoming more preilictable. In a couple of months we might be open for discussion about our foreign policy," Kuznetsov said.

He also said that if people want change, they'll have to stop making the weapons. To cut down in the military would be to cut down on the waste.

"There will be no winner in a nuclear war. Chernobyl is a good example for this nonsense. Cleaning up after it put a costly dent in our economy and it alarmed many people," he said, adding that it also led to anti-nuclear movements and a realization that the Soviets are not educated enough about nuclear safety.

While admitting that he doesn't know how glasnost affected the university educa­tion in U.S.S.R., Kuznetsov said that his son, going from 8th grade into 9th, didn't take the history exam because there were no good history books.

"I think that the universities also dropped their history examinations because the his­tory books are full of gross inacuracies," Kuznetsov said. o

Candidate promotes education

Elena Frldland Reporter

When it's working, public education has been the cornerstone of our country and the best anti-poverty program, said Ed Lyell, profess6r of management and marketing at MSC.

But Lyell, who is running for State Board of Education, said the public education in Colorado is not working well.

"I want to change the way we give money to school districts. The more kids attend school, the more money the school should

-get," Lyell said. He also said teachers and administrators,

people who lessen the drop-out rate, would be rewarded.

Lyell was the first person in his family to graduate from junior high school. He grew up in a neighborhood that was one-third 'Yhite, one-third Hispanic and one-third black, and he used to be a gang member. His vast experiences give him an edge in teaching.

"I teach at Metro because I can identify with students here," he said.

Lyell feels that although a few districts are doing better, some are just holding steady, sliding downhill. Because they don't get a lot of money, the drop-out rate is high and this is a danger to Colorado's future.

Smith explained how the measure could not only put such current Auraria projects as additional park­ing and edijcational space on hold, but might also force cutbacks in faculty and in the number of classes offered.

De Witt explained that the cutbacks would be inevitable because of revenue las&:s caused by the measure.

"Metro alone stands to lose $2.8 million - that is $90 per student," DeWitt said. He told the audience that he believes this would put much needed Auraria improvements on the back burner. "[I am] hard pressed to find $3 million in waste at MSC," he said

--~--~~~~~~~~~~-Dave Plank Reporter

Well, this press release from the propo­nents of official English (that's proposition number one on your ballot/ scorecard, sports fans) has been fouling the air around my • desk for about three weeks now, and it's time to put it to bed, in the special trash can I save for pompous flag-waving bullshit.

God only knows what besides too much Chivas Regal has motivated theSe people to make this non-issue into one of the hottest ~ debates of the 1988 election. They them-

.· selves have said that their amendment, if passed, will change nothing. What it will do, they say, is ensure that English will never be usurped as the language of record of the state of Colorado.

You know, I lay awake at night worrying that someday we'll all be speaking Spanish or Lebanese or Swahili. What a relief to know that somewhere out there are people who share my concern.

Did the Indians of the eastern seaboard, faced with the out and out invasion of the pilgrims in 1620, rush to pass an amendment making their language the "official" one? I doubt it. Besides having more important things to worry about, like getting food, they weren't afflicted with that curious, uniquely suburban arrogance that demands reform where there is no need for it.

But putting aside for a moment the sheer ludicrol1Slle5S of this movement, if only because a lot of terribly misguided people out there seem to think that it's a good idea, think about this.

It could be argued that much of America's troubles of the last 20 years, both political and economic, have been the result of the arrogance I just mentioned. From the dru~ bing the United States has taken in the world marketplace to the deplorable position we ~ find ourselves in the public-relationswise, we have to blame only the mentality that these people display. As long as we, as a country, continue to tell the rest of the world that we aren't interested in it, we are going to have th_e same problems. Isolationism hasn't worked for us since before Ike, and at the risk of shocking all you upper-middle-class, true-blue Americans out there, it won't work for us now.

So next Tuesday night, faced with a lot of other important decisions (not the least of which will be where to go eat after you vote, this is just the kind of election it's turned out to be), think about this: all questions of racism aside, how much sense does it make to p~ an amendment to the State Constitu­tion that will only serve to further fragment the people of this state so that a few paranoid ... schizophrenics will be able to sleep better at night?

The whole idea doesn't do much for me, but what do I know? I don't even like George Bush. o

While Koehler does not represent students in court, she can advise them on problems ranging from debt collec­tion, traffic tickets and DUis to criminal misdemeanors.

"If somebody bas a ticket and a really good driver's license, I can tell them 'Go in and plead it yourself and this is

such as divorce. The office is tracking the types of problems students are

coming in with. If demand is great for information on a specific issue, Koehler would like to hold campuswide seminars for students. She said she foresees taxes and divorce as two likely topics.

The Legal Services Office opened Sept. 12 and has advised about 50 students so far. Most of those cases have dealt with landlord/tenant problems, bill collection and traffic tickets.

Koehler bas a private practice and bas been involved in juvenile cases for the past six years. She also bas done volunteer work for the Legal Aid Society in Denver, a non-profit federally funded program. She said she ilPPlied for the legal service job at MSC after seeing an ad in the paper.

"It sounded interesting, as well as providing a service that I think is highly needed," Koehler said. ''The middle class has really fallen by the wayside in today's economy, and I think the people on campuses today are generally from the middle class.

EDITORIAL--------------­Voting right should not be taken lightly

Folks, the bottom line is that one of the privileges of living in a democratic country is the freedom to express your opinion in the form of a vote. And if you don't go out and do it, then you're really just ripping yourself off.

Forget for a moment that your choices for president are a couple of watered-down Madison Avenue pro­ducts or that the electoral process seems to negate the power of your vote. Instead, think for a second or two about what you can do something about.

Here in Colorado, we have several ballot amend­ments that, if passed, would without a doubt change our lives. We could have the ability to vote on major tax increases, have an official state language and tax­funded abortions.

which we are all stockholders. In a company, you invest your dollars, in a country, you invest a vote. And if you don't invest, you forfeit your right to say anything about what goes on.

Which is what gave us eight long years under the rose-tinted glasses of the Reagan administration.

In the last election, less than half the country voted. Reagan won by a margin greater than any American president. Then we spent the next four years bitching about how much we hated Reagan. How many of those people voted? If they had, they might have been happ­ier with the result.

All day, I've been asking people if they were going to vote and if they were why? Next to the fact that it is a privilege denied in many other countries, the second most common answer was that it is one's duty to vote.

lot of trouble. However, when it comes to something like voting, I think it's pretty clear-cut.

Like the Nike ads say: Just do it. So, why should you vote? Well, they say the mind isa

terrible thing to waste and so is a vote. A couple hundred years ago some thoughtful individuals pro­vided a means for common people to express their views on how the country should be run.

Now that power is in your hands. Are you going to throw it away like half the country did in 1984? Or are ~ you going to use it constructively to fprm a more per­fect nation , as they say?

Once again, the bottom line: if you don't vote you're only ripping yourself off. And remember, if you don't vote you forfeit the right to complain about whatever happens after next Tuesday.

But then again, if nobody votes, we might not. Hunter S. Thompson once suggested that people

should think of our country as one big business in Now duty is a tricky item. It sure got Ollie North in a - Chad Morris

Your description in no way matches the Tom Cook I've known for 18 years. Today, I am the Washington Correspondent for a chain of television stations in New York, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles, based in the INN Washington Bureau. Without question, the one person responsible for getting me into th is profession is Tom Cook. Through his internship programs set up with numerous media entities, he has opened the doors to REAL JOBS for dozens - perhaps hundreds - of Metro State students like me.

You do Cook a deep disservice in painting him as outmoded and sexist. During a seven-year period while I reported for Channet!2 News in Denver, I saw dozens of Metro interns work there under Professor Cook's program. The majority of those interns appeared to be women, and most were high in their praise for Cook.

In recent years I've seen Tom only occasionally. But I keep running into his former students, even here in Washington. He's one of those rare college teachers who knows the real value of hands-on professional experience over the make-believe quality of most text­book education. This practical educational approach

usually makes other faculty members jealous, because it works. I wonder if professional jealousy had anything to do with trashing a teacher as successful as Tom Cook?

In the current wave of hysteria over discrimination, whether real or imagined, all it takes is for a few dissat­isfied employees or students to make charges - with or without foundation - and the process of character assassination becomes almost inevitable.

I wonder if you, or Tom Cook's bosses, bothered to ask some of his "A" students if he is sexist? I wonder if you, or they, care if there )s another side to this sto~? I wonder if you will print this letter in The Metropolitan?

-Jim Nash Former student of Tom Cook

Professor questions English only Editor,

People who act methodically have reasons - not always the ones they profess - but they have them. Those who are at pains to urge the "Official English" law profess to expect very desirable outcomes from the measure, although many others are puzzled to under­stand how such results could come about. Proponents also vigorously disavow any wish to produce certain effects that others see as nearly inevitable consequen­ces of enacting such a measure.

Among the motives claimed by Official English backers are promoting unity and encouraging mastery of English, but the proposed law merely states in twelve words that English is to be the official language of Colorado. What sort of act would constitute a violation of this law? No one seems to know. How then could it promote unity? Already it has generated dissention; many Spanish speakers perceive it as an insult. How will it better encourage mastering English than the severe economic and social sanctions already subtlely imposed (inflicted?) on those who do not speak English well?

Curiously, one target of the measure seems to be the dollars spent on bilingual education - curious because it is widely recognized that this program is a most effi­cient means of producing mastery of English for those whose first language is not English. (Ironically, this was first demonstrated in Mexico in the teaching of Spanish to speakers of Indian languages.)

When announced purposes appear patently at odds with predictable effects, one cannot but wonder what

the real motives are. Are the true concerns less for the promotion of Eng I ish than for the suppression of Span­ish? Given the sense of exclusion thal,almost anyone feels in the presence of people copversing in an unknown language, it seems plausible, and given the patterns of history, likely. Those with power have often found it congenial to command that "aliens" acquire the language of the powerful and abandon their own (academic English departments owe much to this dis­position). The very innocuousness of the proposed law prompts suspicion of the "foot-in-the-door" ploy. Cer­tainly many proponents of the Official English measure would be quick (and sincere) in disavowing some of the uglier manifestations of the English Only movement: prohibition of speaking Spanish in the workplace (Cali­fornia); efforts to prohibit Spanish from 911 telephone systems (Florida). The latter seems tantamount to say­ing, "Don't just lie there bleeding; speak English!"

The proponents of the measure have certainly adver­tised loftier goals than these, and I do not question their sincerety; self-deception is of its nature sincere. What is lacking, however, is not sincerety but clarity: How will the measure bring about the claimed benefits? How are the allegedly undesired but so seemingly inevitable effects to be avoided? U nti I these questions are cogently answered, I can only continue to suspect that beneath the pious justifications lie unacknowledged fears, compounded in some cases by hatred.

Student Reps. urge 'no' vote on 6 Editor,

.C Students can plan on paying more for education and getting less for their money if Amendment 6 passes. With the impending election close at hand, we believe it's imperative you understand the negative conse­quences of Amendment 6, the so-called "taxpayers' bill of rights."

f Experts in higher education believe that MSC would - , experience an initial shortfall of $2.8 million. This

would have to be accommodated in a number of ways: - Cutting back on faculty salaries by elimi­

nating numerous positions, which would shrink class offerings.

- Increasing each student's tuition costs an average of $90 per semester.

- Reducing support services such as career services, tutoring and work/study pro­grams.

Auraria capital construction improvements, such as the much needed 2,800 space parking garage, the

"'! campus ventilation system and the proposed Physical Education Building expansion, would be substantially impaired or abandoned all-together, because:

- As the bonds for each of these improve­ments are state-insured, a two-thirds approval by the voters of the state would be required. There is a strong probability

~ that a MINORITY number of voters (as

little as 34%) would defeat such pro­posals.

- A lowered bond rating would mandate an increased interest ratethat students would have to pay through bond or user fees.

Contrary to what proponents are saying, tax cuts will not be equally applied to all state services. As higher education has historically ,f.allen below police/fire, highway, public works and penal systems in terms of priority, we can expect revenue cuts in our area to be much greater than estimated.

We disagree with the radical, wide-ranging methods of solving isolated state and local budgetary problems that Amendment 6 proposes. Using a broadsword to operate on problems where a scalpel is prescribed is inappropriate and unjustifiable.

We urge voters to VOTE NO on Amendment 6 and to relay the negative consequences !listed above to their relatives, friends and neighbors. Give the efforts to increase the quality of higher education in this state a fighting chance.

- Representatives of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College

Seawell says liberal not a dirty word .... Editor,

George Bush and Dan Quayle's favorite word for Michael Dukakis or anyone or anything they dislike is "liberal." They use the term anytime they can't think of anything else to say. They must assume that its very sound strikes fear in the hearts of all Americans. I wonder if the Quayle children and the Bush grandchild­ren are going to be liberals for Halloween?

As I recall, there are some rather important things that the dreaded liberals have championed over the years: civil rights, social security, health care and equity under the law for women. Clearly there is more, much more, including Abraham Lincoln and the aboli­tion of slavery. Yes, I'm ashamed to report Honest Abe was a liberal.

The simple truth is that within all great leaders, there is a legitimate tradition of both liberal and conservative thought and that is good and healthy.

The passion to change what is wrong is liberal, the conviction to preserve what is right is conservative. We need both strengths in our leaders.

Bush and Quayle do a deep disservice to this election and !o the. American people with their shallow sloga­neering. Liberals are big spenders, right? Liberals are for huge deficits, right? Liberals are soft when it comes to negotiating with our enemies, right?

Well, I guess that makes Ronald Reagan the most flagrant liberal of all time. He proposed the biggest budgets and ran up the biggest deficits in this nation's history. He traded arms to the Ayatollah Khomeni. Ronald Reagan, you flaming liberal!

I wonder if Bush and Quayle understand how dumb ~nd destructive code word politics is? [eg."card carry­ing member of ACLU") Joseph McCarthy of the Repub­lican Party last practiced that stuff. Surely George Bush and Dan Quayle don't want to be part of that tradition but I'm afraid that's what they sound like.

And a lot of good Americans, both liberal and con­servative in our political views, resent it.

- Buie Seawell Chairman, Colorado Democrats

Amendment 6 darkens future Editor,

In the coming general election on Nov. 8, there is a proposal to amend our state constitution which pretends to limit taxation as a way to improve our quality of life. Amendment 6, known as "the taxpayer's bill of rights," is as stated by The Denver Post, funda­mentally a chocolate-covered lemon.

It will, if passed, undermine our ability to promote economic development and substantially damage our future as Colorado citizens.

These are strong charges. They are, however, true. That's why we need your support in defeating Amend­ment 6.

Amendment 6, if passed, would require each of us to vote on such things as tuition and fees for each state­supported institution, individual hospital and clinic charges, housing fees, library and parking fees, and state-backed debt (even though the actual revenues used to pay these items are non-state dollars). Each of these and all other state and local government licenses, permits, and fees would have to be considered and approved by voters.

Our research universities together comprise a critical mass of intellectual capital which has attracted major corporations to Colorado. Businesses seek, even demand, the resources we provide - research facil i­ties, libraries, and bright, educated students.

US West recently decided, in a 14-state competition, to locate its advanced technologies group in Boulder so that it could be nearthe great research opportunities at the University of Colorado and Colorado State Uni­versity. Their decision to build in a university research park was heavily influenced by the presence of major laboratories which were financed through the issuance of government-backed debt. Amendment 6, if passed, would prohibit the issuance of this debt unless more than two-thirds of the people in Colorado agreed.

Given the seriousness of some of Colorado's recent ~robl~ms, it is imperative that the state invest in prepar­ing minds to solve these problems. The brown cloud will be reduced and eliminated by an educated mind. Colorado and the nation will prosper again, economi­cally, because of the efforts of educated minds. Colo­rado will meet its energy needs for decades to come thanks to the efforts of educated minds. Colorado will endow the success and prosperity of the United States by contributing educated minds to public service - or will it?

On this year's state ballot, Amendment 6 threatens to decimate not only the state's system of education -kindergarten through college - but the rest of the state and local government as well. We urge you to examine the issues for yourselves.

We represent the future of our state and believe it is filled with hope, opportunity, and prosperity. The shadow of an Amendment 6 darkens our future. With the help of our parents and fellow students we can defeat Amendment 6 and keep the I ights on in Colorado .

Amendment #1 - An amendment to declare English the official language of Colorado.

Arguments for: • A common language is one of the

strongest ties that bind a people to­gether.

• English deserves a measure of legal recognition and protection.

• It ensures that the business of the state will be conducted in English.

• One language prevents translation, printing and distribution costs.

Arguments against: • Speaking different languages does not

lead to loss of unity or stability in society.

• The English language is already used­in government, courts, schools and the marketplace.

• The meanings of certain words will have to be interpreted by the courts.

• International relations and politics requires Americans to be proficient in other languages.

• The amendment will hinder the state's ethnic diversity.

Amendment #2 - This amendment authorizes the General Assembly to estab­lish procedures for local districts to reim­burse a local incumbent who wins a recall election for campaign debts incurred.

Arguments for: • Reimbursement for expenses of a

local recall election is not sound state policy.

• Without the proposal, there is no limit to the amount of funds a local official can spend in a recall election.

Arguments against: • All public officials should be free of

campaign expenses once they are elected.

• This proposal will discourage able public servants from serving in elective offices.

Amendment #3 - This amendment declares that regular sessions of the General Assembly will not exceed 120 days.

Arguments for: • A constitutional amendment will

ensure a part-time legislature and will best maintain a "citizen legislature" concept.

• The limitation will require the legisla­ture to adjust its procedures to use time and resources more efficiently.

Arguments against: • The legislature determines what work

can be accomplished in 120 days, and votes to increase or decrease its length.

• The proposal is too restrictive and inflexible.

• It allows the governor more control of the legislative agenda.

saur or £~· -

Arguments against: • Problems that may occur in a work­

day longer than eight hours outweigh the proposal's advantages.

• The state should not have the power to neutraliz.e a long established policy.

Amendment #8 - This amendment requires that every bill be referred to a com­mitte of the General Assembly and given a hearing and vote before a certain deadline. It would also prohibit members of the General Assembly from taking a position before the measure is introduced to the House or Senate.

Arguments for: • All bills will be afforded a committee

• The tax would amount to "welfare" for the rich.

• The need for the tax is not that great because revenues for the Denver Museum of Natural History, the zoo, the Botanic Gardens and the Denver Art Museum have all increased.

• Revenue collecting for the arts should be voluntary.

II

Amendment #6 - This amendment would require two-thirds voter approval for most tax increases. It would restrict property, income, sales and other taxes, as well as limiting the rate of increase of spending by the state.

Arguments for: • Requiring voter approval for any tax

increase will provide an incentive for public officials to manage tax dollars more responsibly, and make them more accountable.

• It will limit the rate of property tax increases, easing the burden on senior citizens and those on fixed incomes.

• It will control state spending. • Instead of seeking new sources of

revenue, government will have to co~der new sources of savings.

• BOtli public and private sectors will benefit from the economic growth that this amendment will encourage.

Argupients against • The amendment will weaken repre-

sentative government and local control. Tax and spending limitations are an inflexible way to govern society.

• The provision that two-thirds of the voters approve any tax increase is con­trary to the democratic concept of majority rule.

• Many provisions of this amendment are vague and would encourage scrut­iny by tthe courts. This would increase the cost of government by adding cases to an already overloaded court dockel

Amendment #7 - This would repeal an earlier amendment that prohibits the use of public funds for abortion.

Arguments for: • Current law is unfair because it per­

petuates the inequality between women who can afford an abortion, and those who cannot.

• Abortion is the only medical service for which public finding is not avail­able .

• Advances in medical science have enabled physicians to more accurately diagnose abnormalities in prenatal life .

• A woman who cannot afford an abor­tion would not be able to pay for prenatal care and delivery and may be forced into public assistance .

Arguments against: • Public funds should not be used for

abortions. • The number of abortions in Colorado

dropped more than 3,000 in the two years after voters approved an amend­ment prohibiting state funds from being used for abortion.

• An abortion is a private matter, and should be privately funded.

FEATURES---------student finds 'choice time' of life Mark Hamstra Reporter

Wanda Jaeckel wasn't about to take old age lying down.

"So many [older] people waste their time; they just move to Florida and wait to die," she said in her faint Polish accent. "This is my harvest time now - the choice time of life."

The 66-year-old MSC student decided she would rather reap the benefits of a col­lege education than vegetate in a retirement community, at an age when most students will have their diplomas buried under 40 years worth of junk in a closet.

Although college may sound like a diffi­cult transition for someone Jaeckel's age, she insists that the adjustment came easily.

"I was scared to death that my brain wouldn't turn anymore, but I found that it still does," she said.

Her mind isn't the only thing that has maintained a youthful vigor - her appear­ance, capped with short blonde hair and a girlish smile, is more like that of young mother than a grandmother.

Although Jaeckel has not declared a major, she takes classes for credit, even though she doesn't have to as a member of the Metro-Meritus program for senior citizens.

The Metro-Meritus program encourages and assists senior citizens in continuing their personal educational growth.

"I take classes for credit; otherwise, I

wouldn't study," she confessed. One of her classes, "Writing Your Auto­

biography," provides a perfect outlet for her to record the details of a life that began in pre-World War II Poland

At 17, Jaeckel fled Poland with her par­ents and two sisters to escape Hitler's inva­sion, settling in France to wait out the war. Her eyes sparkle as she smiles and tells of her days in France.

"They said there were about 500 Polish men in Paris for every Polish woman. We got very spoiled." She paused, and added, "That's why my father wanted to leave!"

Whether or not Jaeckel wanted to leave is another story, but the young Polish family did leave when the Germans conquered Paris, escaping to Canada and eventually the United States.

Getting the vote out November 4, 1988

Voter drive signs up students • Chad Morris

Government Editor

They also had a hard time getting clerks to come down to the campuses, Boggess said.

.. More than 1,700 new Auraria student

voters will participate in this year's national election thanks to efforts by student organizations.

A recent voter drive was sponsored by the Colorado Student Association, made up of various campus governments and the Colo­rado Public Interest and Research Group, which lobbies for environmental and con­sumer issues.

"We want people in Colorado to know the students are out there," F ranees Boggess,

That didn't seem to affect CoPIRG's voter drive, though. According to Ruth Aponte, campus organiz.er for CoPIRG, their group had to call extra clerks down to Auraria to handle the number of people wanting to register.

After a two-day campaign CoPIRG bag­ged 225 students, breaking their summer re.cord of 160.

"We consider this a very successful drive," Aponte said.

Of the voters who registered, about 80 percent will actually vote, she said. Many of

president of the CSA said. Many legislators don't believe students vote and therefore do not consider them when making decisions, she added.

During a state-wide effort, CSA regis­tered nearly 6,000 students, of which approximately 1,500 were Auraria students. The University of Colorado topped the list with 2,482 new voters. The push did not concentrate on large colleges only, Boggess said, but also smaller schools such as Arapa­hoe Community College.

However, campus voter registration is down this year, she said, due largely to the so-called "motor voter" law. The law allows people to register to vote when they renew their car licenses.

those will be reminded to vote by CoPIRG members Sunday, Nov. 6 and Monday, Nov. 7.

"You're controlling your own destiny," she said. "So you should vote."

CoPIRG would also like to see that voters know what they're voting on. So they will set up a table in the Student Center this week where students can receive a variety of pam­phlets and other information on the election.

Among them will be facts on each of the national presidential candidates as well as state representatives and senators. Voters also will be able to find out exactly where in Denver County they should vote. Phone numbers for other counties also will be available. o

CRITIQUE-----si11y satire -spoofs rock video ·industry

Chad Morris Government Editor

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: "Tapeheads," a satirical look at the rock video industry, is not a great movie. No Academy Awards will be handed out for this one. It is, however, a lot of dopey and ridiculous fun.

The executive producer for this movie is former Monkee (70 s musical group) Michael Nesmith, which ought to tell you something right away. In case it doesn't, I'll tell you. It's an awful lot like a 90-minute Monkees episode.

While I realize there may be some attrac­tion to old Monkees episodes, the concept doesn't work in "Tapeheads."

There's just too much going on in this movie for a coherent plot to be evident. We've got Ivan Alexeev and Josh Tager (John Cusack and Tim Robbins) trying to make it to the top of the rock video ladder, a senator running for re-election who likes dressing in little girls clothes, a parade of nearly forgotten rock stars (Ted Nugent, Stiv Bator) and character actors (Clu Gulager, Doug McClure) and, finally, Soul Train's own Don Cornelius.

FBI agent Jello Blalra collars John Cusack and Tim Robbins In the new movie "Tapeheads."

One plus to this movie is that the sound­track is excellent if you're into R&B. Sam Moore, of Sam and Dave fame, and Junior Walker (&the All-Stars) play two veteran soul singers that Josh and Ivan idolized as kids.

They later find the Swanky Modes, as

they're known in "Tapehead," in a sleezy bar and decide to bring them back into the limelight, through, you guessed it - music video.

Considering that this film features the talents of Peter McCarthy, who produced "Re po Man" and "Sid and Nancy," and Bill Fishman, who's already climbed the rock video ladder, this film is disappointing. I expected better humor and sharper sarcasm and received little of both.

But actors are not the problem, Cusack and Robbins play their parts well as do the

Once again, we have a movie that with better wntmg cowo nave been an amusmg and biting film, but instead ends up only _ being silly.

She's been to Egypt, Jordan, much of Europe, and has revisited her homeland several times as well.

'My cousin came to visit from Poland ... he said, 'my God, you have such a beautiful ., llfe here."

She said she supports Poland's Solidarity movement, and has high hopes for the Communist Bloc with the advent of glasnost.

"I think so many Poles and Russians want to have a comfortable life," she said. "My cousin came to visit from Poland ... he said, 'my God, you have such a beautiful life here."'

Jaeckel takes part in the American politi­cal system as well, working as a volunteer for congressional candidate Martha Ezzard's campaign. She said she supports the Democratic Party because she thinks it has more concern for the poor and for women.

"'

As she spoke a woman of about 18, who Jaeckel knew from her American civiliza- ~ tion class, sat down to chat. They spoke excitedly about the course, trading opinions of the professor and the material. Eventually they walked off to class together, still chatting.

As Jaeckel put it, "Age should have nothing to do with friendships." o

Susan Morgan Reporter

I am pleased to say that you the reader • should be able to understand this entire arti­

cle, which is more than can be said for some of the books on the New York Times best­seller list.

David Blum, writing for New York mag­azine, has attempted to expose the pr~

... behind getting a book on the Times best-- seller list. As you can imagine and it

shouldn't come as any surprise, it has more to do with marketing strategy than interest or readability. This is the way of the publish­ing world these days.

Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore is one /- of the outlets that the Times keeps tabs on to

compile their list. According to a buyer for the store, no one who has purchased Steven Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" understands it, including a local book club. Still, the store continues to sell about 20

., copies per week. The question must be asked, how do book

companies get people to buy a book that is incomprehensible to the average mind?

According to an unidentified editor in Blum's article, a best-seller needs to be either

\"' self-teaching or have snob appeal. If it has both, the book will be a smash hit.

•

People are buying books just to put them on the shelf and impress their friends. Blum calls this "the intellectual equivalent of the back bumper of a pickup truck."

I went by a truck the other day that had

---from pg. 5---

"Quality education is necessary for Colo­rado's economic survival," Lyell warned.

State Board of Education isa non-paying, part-time position. Lyell laughed and said he won't give up his regular job for it.

His Republican opponent is Steve Shwiff. Lyell called him a "fairly bright guy," but specified the difference between them.

"I spent nearly 25 years in managing edu­cation. He tends to be more academic [more into paperwork]," Lyell said.

He said he felt that be will be better for the job because of two factors: his emotional background, coming from a poor neighbor­hood, and his educational background, hav­ing five doctrates and extensive teaching experience.

Lyell has been a scoutmaster, explorer leader and athletic coach for over 15 years. Although he's a busy man, he feels that outside, voluntary time could always be found. D

two bumper stickers on it. One said, "Life's a bitch and so am I." The other said, "The more I know about men the more I love my dog." Believe me, I wasn't tempted to stop and talk to the woman driving the truck. By the same token, I don't feel tempted to talk to people who have unread books around with the intent to impress others.

There is an old adage that says if you can't understand a poem, then it must be REALLY good. Hogwash! If the poem isn't accessible to the reader, then it doesn't work. It is an ineffective use of language, and the purpose of language is to communicate.

A dear and much loved literature profes­sor of mine at MSC once explained that poetry with too many footnotes is akin to having sex when the doorbell rings. You know, you get up, go downstairs, open the door, pay the kid for the privilege of receiv­ing another week's worth of newspapers, and return upstairs. But it's not the same. You have to start all over again to recapture the mood.

To me, this is not the purpose of writing or literature. If I can't understand a book within the first 50 to 75 pages, I give up. I feel if I don't understand it by that point, then it will only get worse by page 400.

There are already enough confusing or unanswerable questions in life without sub­jecting myself to feeling stupid by books that are purposely written over the average read­er's head. The writer's objective should be to explain the unknown to the reader, not con­fuse them more just to show the author's superiority.

At the same time, the reader shouldn't be coddled with Dick and Jane primers. I have an interest in nuclear power, a fairly heavy subject. I'm no scientist, but I have still man­aged to find several books that explained the process to me. A balance needs to be found between the complexity of the topic and the simplicity of the language used to explain it.

' 'The Closing of the American Mind" by Allen Bloom, which has been on the Times best-seller list for almost a year, is another one of these incomprehensible books. It accomplishes just what the title suggests- it closes the mind because it is not readily accessible or understood by the average reader.

I strongly advocate reopening the American mind. The reader doesn't need to be belittled by anyone, including the New York Times. If you can't understand it, don't buy it! D

SPORTS--------------~ Men gain split on home field John Gegner Reporter

After six straight games on the road, the MSC men's soccer team returned home to split a pair of games against Colorado oppo­sition last weekend.

With a 3-0 win over the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs Sunday, Oct. 30, and a 1-0 loss to University of Denver the day before, the Roadrunners' record dropped to 8-5-4.

Against cross-town rival DU, Metro was missing its two top scorers. Both Joe Okoh and Abdulmonem Al-Majid sat out the DU contest after each received a red card in the previous week's game against University of New Mexico. A red card, given for two technical fouls, results in disqualification from that game and the next.

Despite the missing front-line firepower, Metro played a strong first half and held the Pioneers in check, but neither team man­aged to score.

"We played well in the first half and had some good chances ... and didn't put them in," MSC coach Bill Chambers said.

DU made some lineup adjustments at

halftime and then scored early in the final period when Christian Falkenberg found an opening and beat MSC goalie Craig Lam­mering. Mustafa Noorzai assisted on the game's only score.

"They [DU] played much better in the second half," Chambers said. "They got one in and that was enough. We didn't have enough going up front. It's been the story all year, not scoring when we need 'em."

DU outshot Metro 19-14 and had seven

goalie saves to Lammering's nine. 2-0 at half. Sunday, the Roadrunners had difficulty

getting up emotionally for University of Colorado-Colorado Springs after the tough loss the day before. UC-CS didn't figure to be a very competitive opponent since they had a poor record.

Melendez scored the game's final goal with about six minutes remaining in the game. Okoh assisted on the score.

Metro outshot UC-CS by an incredible 42-6 margin and had two goalie saves to 12 for Colorado. Tom Vermilye registered his fourth shutout of the year in the MSC goal. Metro got on the board late in the first half

when Tim Yunger scored assisted by Chino Melendez. About four minutes later Jim Seamans tallied unassisted to put MSC up

"We won easily, but we didn't blow them out like some people have," Chambers said. "We were pretty spent from yesterday." o

~Lady kickers stumble, but rally on the road

The MSC lady kickers had more diffi­culty with astroturf than the long bus trip to Oklahoma last weekend as they split a pair of games against Tulsa schools.

the field conditions there," MSC coach Ed Montojo said. "The field was very heavily crowned and we just couldn't get in sync."

The ball would just take off when it rolled out in the middle of the field, he said.

~ 29, Metro didn't adjust well to the speed of the University of Tulsa astroturf football field and lost 2-l. The following afternoon, on a grass field, MSC whipped Oral Roberts University4-0 to salvage a 1-1 record on the trip and move to 9-4-2 for the season.

"They capitalized on their opportunities and we didn't," the fourth-year coach said after the evenly matched game.

Sunday afternoon, Metro came out a little fatigued form the game the night before. Although moving a little slower, the Road­runners jumped on Oral Roberts University 2:09 into the game when Linda Thompson took a crossing pass from Cindi W eishapl and scored. Lynette Graul tallied from straight out on a pass from Thompson at 34:31 to push the count to 2-0. Zimmerman scored on a give-and-go pass from Jami Cobb at 44:02 to close out the first half.

After a scoreless first half against Tulsa, a Roadrunner miscue led to the game's first score 15 minutes into the second period. While MSC's Leslie Markley was playing the ball back to goalie Jan Holland, Tulsa's Shari Rozmus came from the blind side to

1" tip the ball into the goal. Metro tied the game with about 20 min­

utes remaining on a combination play high­lighted by a series of passes down the length of the field. Bridgette Leisure took the final pass from Leslie Zimmerman to score her ninth goal of the season. Nanci Shafer tallied

Weishapl scored her eighth goal of the season at 16:05 of the final period to cap the Roadrunner victory. Leisure assisted on the tally.

Metro mounted several attacks in the closing minutes but couldn't finish them off.

"We really dominated the game," Montojo said.

Metro outshot Oral Roberts 18-1 and Michelle Carroll, playing in goal, registered her first shutout of the season for the Roadrunners.

Spikers bag three wins John Gegner

Sports Edi~or , ,

The juggernaut that MSC volleyball ooach Joan Tamblin helped create took some hits last week but survived to post three victories and run its winning streak to 13 consecutive games.

up," Tamblin said. "Luckily we were able to hang in there."

Metro won on the road at University of Denver, Oct. 26, and topped Eastern Mon­tana College twice in Billings, Oct. 29 and Oct. 30. Despite the three wins, there was some bad news for the high-flying Road­runners (25-:5) as starters Nancy Kogle and Darci Matson went down with season­ending injuries. Kagle suffered tom liga­ments in her ankle and Matson is out with a stress fracture of the tibia.

Saturday, Metro breezed past Eastern Montana in three games while working with a new lineup. Junior college transfers Dionna Ward and Alice Nickelson filled in for Kogle and Matson. The following day the Roadrunners sputtered, but rallied to win in five games.

"We didn't pass very well at all," Tamblin said of Sunday's match. "In fact, it was probably our worst passing match of the season. But, it's good to get it out of our system."

With a tournament at the Air Force Academy Nov. 4-6 and three dual matches left on the schedule, Tamblin remaitis optimistic. Against DU on Wednesday, Metro had to

rally, winning the fourth and fifth games, to pull out the match.

She said the team's strength all year has been passing and defense. "If that can con­tinue, I think we'll be fine." o
