hl an abrupt cuimination of a four month process, MSC President Donald Macintyre last week1 named the four finalists for

, the position of vice president of academic affairs.

The vice presidential screening committee - composed of faculty, students, and staff -gave Macintyre a list of nine

...). potential ;andidates, from which he chose four.

The candidates are Stanley Sun­, derwirth, acting vfoe president of

MSC academic affairs; Wilton Flemon, associate vice president

. of MSC academic affairs; Linda Lopez McAlister, dean of the Im­perial Valley campus of San Diego State University and professor of humanities; and Bruce Tuckman, dean of the school of education at

~ Baruch College in New York. Macintyre informed faculty and

students that interviews of the 0

four candidates were to be held g; April 23-29 so he could make a ~ final recommendation to the £ Bo~d of Trustees (the college's overning board) at the May 1 eeting, said Brooks Van Everen,

·dent of the MSC Faculty

MSC President Mac1ntyre: "I should make my decision within two weeks."

Senate and a screening committee member.

However, Macintyre told THE METROPOLITAN April 24 that he was "not very optimistic,, about being able to make his final recommendation by that date.

The interviews were originally scheduled for May 4 - 8, in accor­<;lance with a time table Macintyre "himself agreed to and the com~ mittee itself set up," Van Everen said. 1

Van Everen said all faculty were not notified of the impending in­terviews until April 22, the day before the first interview.

"That's not an ideal lead time," Van Everen said. He said he doesn't know how many faculty members were precluded from at­tending the first interview because of previous plans.

Loring Crepeau, vice president of the Associated Students of MSC, said the job of organizing the student interviews was "dropped" on him April 20. Crepeau said he didn't have time to inform many students of the impending interviews because of the "short notice" he.was given.

---~------- ------~-a•

Crepeau said only nine students attended the first two meetings, commenting that requiring par­ticipation at all the interviews had a "cooling effect on the response of some students." · Macintyre said the process only seemed "accelerated ·in the minds of some.'' He said he got the list of names and ·quickly made his decision on the finalists.

''Why would people want me to wait?" he said.

"I don't think there's any way you could explain the acceleration of the process,'' Van Everen said. He thinks Macintyre should have given the faculty more time to prepare for the interviews if the President sincerely wanted "valuable input."

Van Everen said he was told by Maclntyre's office that formal, written faculty evaluations of the candidates must be submitted by 10 a.m. May 1, even though the last interview will not be com­pleted until 4:30 p.m. on April 30.

Macintyre told told THE METROPOLITAN he had not "set a final time" f~e sub­mission off ormal evaluations..

ONLY THE ARMY-GIVES YOU TWO WAYS TO LOWER THE COST OF EDUCATION

I

IN JUST TWO YEARS. I

I I I

! i LOAN FORGNENESS

If you have a Guaranteed Student Loan or a National · Direct Student Loan (made after October 1, 1975) hanging over your head, consider spending a couple of years in ' the Army. . · .

If you train for certain specialties, the government will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness (or $1,500, which­ever is greater) for each year of active duty.

Obviously, a three-year enlistment would eliminate 1003 of your indebtednes.s. But you may prefer to take a shorter route and sign up under the Army's two-year enlist­ment option (and put 2/3 of your debt behind you).

Or you might want to join the Army Reserve. If you qualify, as a Reservist you can stay home, get paid for your active duty, and receive 153 loan forgiveness (or $500, whichever is greater) for each year you serve.

But we're not just offering you loan forgiveness. With your education, you can probably qualify for a higher rank and pay grade. You'll have your choice of many sophis­ticated Army skills.

And you may be eligible for generous monetary educa­tional incentives.

TWO-FOR-ONE SAVINGS PLAN If your drearµ is to continue your educqtion some day, ,

joining the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program can ' bring that day closer.

In fact, in just two years you can accumulate up to $9 ,200 for grad school. (Only the Army can offer you a two­year enlistment.)

It's not a loan, so you'll never have to worry about making payments. It's simply a savings program between you

THEARMY'S COLLIGI 8D&ITS and the government.

Per Mo. 2 Yrs. You Save: $100 $2.400* Gov't Adds 2-for- l: $200 $4.800 Total: $300 $7.200 Army Adds: $2.000

Total Benefits: $9.200**

If you save between $25 and $100 of your monthly Army pay, the government will match that amount two­for-one. On top of that, you might qualify for an exclusive Army educational incentive of $2,000. (Longer enlistments

So, in just two years, you can go back to school with 2/3 of your debt behind you and up to $9 ,200 for your education ahead of you. (Of course, a longer enlistment could result in more edu­cational benefits and 1003 loan forgiveness.)

Racial discrimination against blacks at MSC may be blatant or elusive, but no standards currently exist for deciding when it's real.

Donald Macintyre, MSC president has repeatedly said he is committed to affir- ........ ......,.__ _____ _ mative action.

"Let's all work together to see what we can do to make sure that our faculty, our administration and our student body is reflective of the community of which we are a part. This is the essential affir­mative action goal that we ought to

~ have," he said. He appointed an affirmative action

task force last year which he said, "is working hard. to deal with policies and procedures, goals and timetables." Ben Monroe, a black faculty member, is chairman of that task force and co-

~ chairman of MSC Black Caucus. The MSC Black Caucus presented a

position paper to Macintyre in March, 1980, which outlined recommendations to achieve the goal of a black educator in every department and at every ad­ministrative level. They encouraged

~ Macintyre to hire a black vice-president and a minimum of one black academic dean, to appoint additional black chair­persons throughout the college, and to increase black faculty in all academic departments.

In regard to students at MSC, the - Black Caucus suggested several ways to

recruit black students at the college. They recommended involving black employees in recruitment, and including pictures of black students, faculty, staff and ad­ministrators in all college publications. To retain black students, they suggested

1 employing black personnel in the support areas of counseling, academic advising, and financial aid.

Presently, a year after the Black Cau­cus submitted their position paper to Macintyre, there are several departments with no black faculty. Of approximately 600 regular and part-time faculty, MSC has 11 regular black faculty:

The Faculty Senate feels Macintyre should settle the conflict. Moland said he is responsible to Macintyre, but Macin­tyre has repeatedly said, "Don't make af­firmative action a president's issue."

Some persons fear this lack of clear-cut boundaries for the Affirmative Action

office could provide a potential for abuse, particularly by students who may be discontent with their grades.

The job of the Affirmative Action of­fice is to make sure no one is discriminated against for any reason.

On the other hand, faculty members hold sacred their "academic freedom" to assign grades they deem fair. While statistics on employment of minority faculty and administrators is easy to document and scrutinize, the affect of Affirmative Action on students is more difficult to see.

At least some students fear that this power struggle may affect them.

" We're afraid that students may feel the repercussions," said Diane Whitaker, treasurer of the MSC Black Student Alliance. Linda Manlove, business ad­ministrator of the organization said, "Macintyre made some firm commit­tments when he came here, but he hasn't stuck to them.''

Manlove and Whitaker support the ac­tions of Moland and Flemon. The students believe at least " 99 percent" of Moland's and Flemon's charges of racism are true, but are aware there may be some "politics" going on.

" Everybody is trying to cover their butts, but it's all going to come out in the wash anyway," Manlove said.

Co~~vntari~~~~~~ Rocky Flats: a peaceful protest

More than 5,000 persons gathered on the west lawn of the state capitol early Saturday to protest the stupidity of main­taining a nuclear weapons manufacturing plant 16 miles upwind of Denver.

Most of the crowd had marched from the Auraria campus to the Capitol at 10:30 that morning. Rally sponsors an­nounced they had counted 3,900 persons participating in the march. They believed their count to be "fairly accurate."

The protest had actually begun much earlier in the day at the Rocky Flats plant itself. About 75 persons had gathered at 8 a.m. for an interreligibu~ service calling for an end to the arms race.

The participants were almost outnum­bered by the rather large contingent of Colorado Highway Patrolmen and mem­bers of the press who had been sent there to watch the proceedings. I couhted twenty-odd reporters and photographers and about as many patrolmen.

About 500 feet to the south of the group was a fence, behind which were ~ four or five pickup trucks. Security guar- 3 ds paced around these vehicles, watching ~ the gathering at a safe distance. ·

denominational, there was almost a Zen solemnity about it. The high point of the service (to me, anyway) was when a young Buddhist led the group. He stressed that there was good in

But Flats. the group that had gathered there on He chanted and performed long, Saturday morning was expressing a graceful bows to the buildings far away in message of peace, not confrontation. the valley. The rhythm of the chants was

Although the service was non- the only sound to be heard. His voice ob-

viously had carried to the guards behind their fence, because I saw them begin to move around and point to the group.

I was reminded of the time Abbie Hoffman was outside the Pentagon

pacing the distance around it. When the police asked him what he was doing, he replied that he was seeing how many wit­ches it would take to stand hand in hand around the Pentagon.

The plan, he told them, was to encircle the Pentagon with witches and then levitate it five feet or so. Sound crazy? Not as crazy as the people who thought he was dead serious.

It was an eerie parallel to this lone Buddhist and his friend, who were both solemnly chanting for the better part of five minutes. I would not have been too surprised if that whole plant had just risen straight up into the sky. There would have been a certain sort of poetic justice to that. ·

But, when the chanting was over, the grim-looking place was still down there in the valley, gloating. The group broke up and began to head toward Denver.

Back in Denver, the marchers were assembling in front of the Central Classroom at the Auraria campus. By IO a.m., the crowd had grown to about a thousand.

As the protesters readied their signs and banners, a half-mile long string of plastic bomb replicas was unrolled. The "bombs" were symbolic of the 9,000 warheads the American Friends Service Committee alleges the Pentagon wants to produce in the next decade.

The march left Auraria around 10:30 and proceeded east on Colfax Avenue, which had been closed to traffic. Many motorists sat on the hoods of their cars and watched as the parade passed them by.

Once at the capitol, the protesters listened to various musical groups sing 1960s protest songs as well as some original compositions about nuclear hazards.

The two major speakers were Representatiave Patricia Schroeder, D­Colo., and Tom Hayden, former anti-Vietnam war activist. •

Hayden lashed out at the Reagan ad­ministration for being "militarily agressive." lle stated that the expansion of Rocky Flats was merely a small part of

a larger design to insure America's unlimited access to the world's resources . ....,__

Resisting the buildup of nuclear weapons, Hayden said, would help "democracy prevail over the Pentagon."

Schroeder told the protesters that the Reagan administration was intent on in­creasing nuclear production, with or without the permission of the people. She'~ accused the administration of hyprocrisy in that almost every area of the budget was under close scrutiny ex~ept the defense budget. .

Schroeder cited figures that show the Department of Energy was going to spend at least 33 percent of its funding on "

·military programs, while spending a paltry 1.8 percent on conservation.

The protest, which was sponsored by the Rocky Flats Coalition, was called a success, even though attendance was only half that of last year's. The rally was only

.t one of 60 demonstrations across the _country intended to focus attention on the escalating arms race.

Many of the protesters carried signs or banners. One of the more visible groups was the League for Evolutionary Anar­chy and Freedom (LEAF) which carried large black banners during the march. t­Once at the capitol, the banners were set up end to end where they were visible from nearly every area of the demon­stration.

LEAF had held a rally April 22 at the Auraria Student Center to stress the im­portance of nuclear disarmament. Only a -dozen or so students attended that rally, but at Saturday's demonstration, LEAF's presence did not go unnoticed.

Many protesters were from religious organizations such as the National Coun-cil of Churches and the Church of World Peace. These people obviously did not " believe that God wanted America to have a bigger defense budget, as a prominent preacher (who I will not mention, but his initials are Jerry Falwell) has suggested.

I noticed a sign that some of the demonstrators were carrying that read, "Move Rocky Flats to Lynchburg, Va., Home of the Militant Moral Majority." I pointed out this sign to some people I was talking to at the time. One of them replied, "I don't know if that would be a good idea. I'd hate to think of Jerry Falwell with first-strike nuclear capability.''

Whoops! Why do I write crazy stuff like that, anyway? Oh, well, Jerry knows I'm only kidding, doesn't he?

Two named to Board of Trustees

Mary Ann Buss and Sanders G. "San­dy" Arnold were appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges. Governor Dick Lamm made the appointments in mid-April.

Buss, a former chairman of the Mesa _ County Planning Commission and a former teacher, will serve a six-year term. Sanders, a former legislator from Boulder, was appointed to a two-year term.

Irene Sweetkind, secretary-treasurer of the board of Gunnison County Com- , missioners, was reappointed to a six-year term on the Board.

The Board of Trustees is the governing body for MSC, Mesa Coll~ge, Western State College and Adams State College. .

Student Body Presidential Report

As you probably know, THE METROPOLITAN was given $29,000 in student fees from the MSC and UCO students this academic year. Let us take a fresh look at our "student" newspaper.

On the front page two issues ago, there was an article about the student fees referendum of MSC. This referendum was the student government's attempt to give the students a voice in how their money is allocated. We felt this was a good thing to do. The "student" newspaper stated that a small percentage of students voted. A small percentage by whose standards? The voter turnout on the referendum doubled the highest previous voter turnout in MSC history. Is this not a positive step?

The referendum was handled according to the Con­stitution of the Associated Students of MSC. We even did the courtesy of asking that the student affairs Committee and the Curriculum Committee vote their approval of the referendum. Only three people voted disapproval. One was Emerson Schwartzkopf. He stated on that front page story that he questions the legality of the balloting.

There are no provisions for this in the constitution so we handled it the best way we knew how, trying to reach as many students as possible. We are simply trying to give the students a voice. Mr. Schwartzkopf stated he had no problem with the mailing-out of the referendum, and yet he voted against it right after the mailing out and right before the distribution of it! Mr. Schwar­tzkopf, you see, is an employee of the "student" newspaper and sits as Chairman of the Student Affairs Committee which allocates the student fees. Such an obvious conflict is not covered in the constitution, either, however I qu~stion its legality . I have always felt that the students should have a voice in all · relevant matters and during my ad­ministration I have tried my best to take steps in that direction. Two weeks ago we sponsored a conference of student leaders from the four-year colleges in Colorado. We had three state legislators there for the purpose of helping the student leaders learn how to lobby the legislature. We wish to form a student lobby so the student will have a voice in the Caiptol With Reagan

2 Recreational services 3 Student Services (Women's Center and Legal Ser­vices)

4 Student Organizations 5 Student Government

6 Newspaper There are two points of interest concerning this in­

formation. The first is that during the first Executive Council meeting of the new officers, Smail Rabia and I, Tom Hanna, exchanged positions because everyone felt that this would be a more functional situation due to our backgrounds. The second is that the referendum results will be used by the finance committee in the budgeting process as per the revised ASUCD con­stitution, which was also approved during the election.

An important date to remember is May I, which is the deadline for budget requests from all clubs and services seeking funding.

Since THE METROPOLITAN, the only student newspaper on the Auraria campus, came in last on the ref erendurn, I am inclined to believe that the students of UCO are unimpressed with the service they have received. We have two choices: (1) Do not fund at all (2) Improve service through better UCD coverage and also

zapping higher education this is crucially important. THE METRO POLIT AN made no mention of it to the students.

Last semester we held the successful Halloween Bizarre. The newspaper gave it only negative coverage. It did not cover the Dizzy Gillespie Concert. This semester MSC and UCO joined together to hold the Spring Fever Event, a tremendous success, the largest in the history of Auraria and it received no coverage from the "student" paper. The ads you saw cost us nearly $1,500. The Auraria Black Council sponsored an An­drew Young speech - it was not covered. The MSC Music Department did a concert with the Denver Sym­phony - no coverage.

We have been working to form an Academic Review Board which would give students a voice if they ahve a complaint about academics or an instructor. No coverage.

We've made a proposal to the administration that would restructure Student Activities so that the $85,000 in student fees which funds this area will be put to much better use and provide ten times the amount of activities it now provides (over half of the money goes to tha salaries of three people at this time). The Bizarre and Spring Fever proved to the Administration that the students are now ready to control their monies and their student activities through forming an Events Council. NO COVERAGE.

We have finally given the students a voice to the newspaper by official formation of the long-defunct Board of Publications. It was defunct because the Business Manager of the paper, claiming to be Chair of the Board had not called a meeting in over a year. This formation has made the paper quite angry and now they even have their own man running for Vice-President and promising to abolish the Board as part of his plat­form! They have told me there should be no Board!

You see, the "student" paper doesn't appear to feel the students should have a voice. There are many student happenings that they chose not to cover, but you are aware of the many articles that have appeared in the paper that are irrelevant to us.

I respectfully submit, my fellow students that the

through the predominately student controlled Board of Publications. The old and new Student Governments at UCO have worked hard in conjunction with MSC Student Government to get this board established. ,

We feel that this board would be essential to main­taining an equitable situation for all concerned . However, the existence of this board will be threatened if Ron DiRito and Michael Snyder are elected to MSC Student Government on a platform that opposes the formation of a Board of Publications. It is also in­teresting to note that Ron is an employee of the newspaper.

Your Student Government is also researching various ways to obtain health services for UCD students. As soon as we have more information we'll request your response on the matter.

The newly elected officers of the ASUCD student Government thank the student body for its support thus far, and we hope that our services will be of value to all of you, whether you voted or not.

Student Government meets every Friday at 3:30 -Student Center Rm. 340.

Everyone Welcome.

Sonny Wasinger. ASMSC President

"student" newspaper is rather self-serving and the main proponent of apathy on our campus.

In the upcoming student elections I endorse the ~ following: Loring Crepeau for President (by far the best person for the job), Pattie Goodman for Vice-Pres., Linda Manlove for Student Trustee and Diane Whitaker for the Student Affairs Committee.

To our "student" newspaper: Have a dynamite week, but try not to let it blow up in your face.

The above article was printed intact, with the exception of a potentially libelous comment that Mr. Wasinger chose to delete.

However, it is not completely accurate. THE METROPOLITAN has never supported or endorsed any candidate or platform in any election.

Further, THE METRO POLIT AN supports the presence of a Board of Publications. Inf act, just recen­tly we were involved in the creation of a new Board, where we forsook our voting privileges in an effort to expediate the formation of the Board.

The purpose of Mr. ·wasinger's column is to provide a forum for student government news, tlzus taking some of the burden of coverage off THE METRO POLIT AN. However, Mr. Wasinger chose instead to use the space for his own personal diatribes, and to expound upon his perceptions of racism on campus, the f acuity, Rhody McCoy, and so on. His closing comment is indicative of his personalization of this column.

Mr. Wasinger's assertion that THE METRO­POLITAN does not think the students should have a voice in their own newspaper is patently absurd. Their voice is through letters to the editor. We have received more letters this semester than at any time in the past, and all have been published in accordance with our policy. Furthermore, we have always welcomed any comments, criticisms, and submissions for publication from all Auraria students, faculty, and staff.

k DOCTOR.lrr-8 ? '~

' \

This is a rebuttal to an article written by David Woodward and Mark Tamon that was prfoted in the April 8th issue of THE METROPOLITAN.

It has come to my concern the rising tide of senseless articles that have been dreamed up with half-baked ideas from the authors' own fantasy world. The par­ticular article which caught my attention starts off with two unrelated topics and ends by throwing in a third, all

:. . the while adding unnecessary phrases such as, "the seething tide of Militarism." This gives the impression of 1930s Germany.

I for one, would like to know where the connection is between the intervention in El Salvador and ROTC being allowed on campus? Is it an intervention on your rights? In that case, how about the rights of the students who wish to take the program? Or are their rights ex­pendable since there is a conflict of interest?

The only time I can see when ROTC would effect you is on the specified days when they wear their uniforms. If the wearing of a uniform offends you then why not

I find the prospect of responding to Mr. Wasinger's presidential report in this issue of THE METROPOLITAN to be an unpleasant and repugnant task. The general tone of the piece, with its innuendos and assumptions, becomes more degrading - with

•- every reading - to the office of the President of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College. Nevertheless, I feel the need to impart some insights on Mr. Wasinger's remarks.

First, the highest voter turnout in MSC history oc­curred in 1973, when nearly 5,000 students cast ballots on a referendum concerning conversion of the academic calendar from quarters to semesters.

Second, the Joint Committee was asked for approval of the referendum on February 5, 1981 - after the initial mail-out and be/ore the in-school distribution.

Third, my vote of disapproval on the referendum -which I explained to anyone who asked - came because of the move to continue the referendum vote beyond the

·' · mailing out. I felt this was a move to keep the ballot box open for more than an equitable time period for respon­se; and, such a result would cheapen the ef feet of the referendum itself. I also bad questions on the referen­dum binding the members of the Student Affairs Com­mittee during budget deliberations, since every elected ·member of any government should be bound by con­science, not statistics. (Incidentally, the request to note the negative votes in ASMSC official records came from Mr. Wasinger himself.)

Fourth, additional considerations since that meeting lead me to believe that considering the referendum as law would be an extreme disservice to students. The haphazard distribution of the referendum ballots on the

- campus - including large unattended piles in lounges

\ \ \

protest against the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the other militarist groups that wear uniforms and teach patriotism, unity, and God forbid, leadership.

Granted, the United States' intervention in El Salvador and the draft are extremely important issues for the country as well as the campus community. But these are issues that personally affect you. I know that I don't want to be drafted and sent to El Salvador! However, ROTC does not personally affect you, if you don't want to take it, then don't!

Why waste time with subjects that are not important? When the Department of Military Sciences begins to capture unwary students and brainwashes them into believing that their way is the best (no questions asked), then blast them with everything you can think of. Until then, try and spare us students that take an unbiased approach to the problem from your over-written, un­der-thought ideas.

and the student government office itself - made the vote open to fraud. In my interview with METROPOLITAN staff writer L.J. Clark, I noted one particular method to fix the results would be "round­tabling." This tactic, a favorite of Mayor Richard Daley in Chicago, could be accomplished with a student master list. Armed with a number of easily obtainable blank ballots, a few persons could write in a number of perfectly acceptable student l.D. numbers and mark ballots as they choose. By changing writing utensils and vote selections at random, the voter turnout could be heavy or light as wished. Class lists, of course, would do a smaller but no less effective job.

Fifth, I agree with Mr. Wasinger on a possible con­flict of interest in my employment at THE METROPOLITAN and my chairing of the Student Af­fairs Committee. On the day of my election - and as lately as two days ago, during 1981-82 student fee budget deliberations - I announced my intentions to NOT participate in the discussion and vote concerning allocation of student fee money to THE METRO POLIT AN. I remain firm to that pledge.

I tire quickly of Mr. Wasinger's irresponsible dogma. I have taken the oath of office - as Student Affairs Committee member, President of ASMSC, Student Trustee Advisory Committee member, and Student Af­fairs Committee chair - to serve students as best I can. My reasoning may not be simple or popular, but I stand by my beliefs. Let the students of MSC hope the next ASMSC administration shows more forethought "than the tantrum displayed in this issue today.

In the last issue of THE METRO POLIT AN (April 22, 1981, Vol. 3, issue 26) there appeared a fictitious campaign ad by Mr. Bill Leavitt giving the impression that the Black Student Alliance was supporting him in his campaign efforts.

This editorial is to state that the Black Student Allian­ce is not, in any way, supporting Mr. Leavitt, but in fact are supporting Misses Linda Manlove (Student Trustee) and Diane Whitaker (Student Affairs Committee).

We regret that this type of campaign method was used by Mr. Leavitt . We would hope that this does not occur again. We would like to reiterate that we are supporting Mr. Loring Crepeau and the Winning Ticket in their campaign efforts.

Metropolitan State College Black Student Alliance

Last week you printed a letter from me, and an adver­tisement, both of which have my implication that the black Student Alliance endorses my candidacies for the Student Affairs Committee, and for Trustee. While I never wanted to convey that impression, I can under­stand why some students think that's what I meant. I hereby want to state that the Black Student Alliance • does not endorse my candidacy for any office, and I want to apologize for giving the impression that they did:

Co~~entari~~~~~~ Avoid quagmire of LatinAmerica

by Mark David Travis

When the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua signalled the U.S. that other Latin American nations were in danger of undergoing revolutionary upheavals against their U .S.-backed military gover­nments, our embassy approved a 1979 "reformist" coup which installed a military-civilian junta in El Salvador. That junta has proved incapable of stop-

ping the security forces and the army from terrorizing the El Salvadoran people, and most of the civilians have long since deserted it.

The Carter Administration's support for the coup, and its subsequent support for the El Salvadoran government, even as it pressured that government to in­stitute U .S.-designed land reform, is typical of the way our foreign policy in the area bas mixed misguided moralism

and misguided self-interest. Carter made all the usual strategic arguments about El Salvador's geographic importance. He also reflected the liberal foreign policy view that we could co-opt communist in­fluence in the Third W arid by pressing for U.S.-designed reforms, such as the El Salvadoran land reform program.

The Reagan Administration's attitudes reflect the same foreign policy approach. Reagan, in line with his conservativism1 is

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS BEGIN MAY AND JUNE

less interested in imposing "reform" on El Salvador than Carter was, but he is just as interested iti supporting and using El Salvador for our foreign policy pur­poses, regardless of the cost in freedom or human lives. Thus, both Carter and -1111 Reagan represent a continuation of our longstanding interventionist policies.

Reagan charges that he is fighting "communist subversion" in El Salvador. In fact, the opposition movement in-

eludes socialists, democratic liberals, and business people, as well as Marxists. But the pertinent question is why communism finds such support in the Third World. The answer is that communists are the only ones who support rebellion against Third World oppression - and the U.S. usually supports the oppress\ye regimes against which they rebel. We know that communist governments are just as op­pressive as military regimes, but all El Salvadoran peasants know is that they want their land - and the United States is standing in their way.

Thus, in the long run, U.S. interven­tion is counterproductive. This is true in the short run, too - witness the collapse of U .S.-backed repressive regimes in _ Vietnam, Nicaragua and Iran. In ad­dition, U.S. intervention supports the violation of the freedoms of the El Salvadoran people - indeed, their mur­der by their government. And last, but certainly not least, U.S. intervention abroad is used to justify our huge "defense" budget and draft registration;

should U.S. "advisors" (50 are already there) be killed in El Salvador, our in­volvement may escalate, Vietnam-like, into war, or it may "justify" a draft.

As Libertarian Review Editor Roy Childs writes, "The Reagan ad- '

ministration's policies in El Salvador and elsewhere in the region ought to be resisted uncompromisingly by all freedom-loving Americans. Everyone concerned with this new adverturism in foreign affairs must once again make the • course of our entire foreign policy a mat­ter for open public discussion. The American defense establishment and its media supporters are charging full-speed ahead into the quagmire of Latin America. It's time for someone to send

Roosevelt) to encouragement of sta!e economic planning to keep econoffilc power centralized and insure the economic "stability" necessary to repay IMF, World Bank, and U.S. Agency for International Develop­ment loans. These loans have vested dictatorial power in the ''Fourteen Families" which control 90 percent of El Salvador. 1960 Kennedy, Johnson ad­ministrations arm El Salvadoran military forces to guard against a repeat of Cuban-style revolution. 1967 ORDEN security force (70,000 strong compared to army of 15,000) formed to repress "disruptions" in rural areas. 1972 Military ignores election results and installs its candidate, Colonel Ar­thuro Molina, as President. 1972 Molina ousted after taking small steps toward land reform; Gen.

The above historical profile of El Salvadoran history is a brief review of the 450 years of tyranny, violence and economic exploitation which have characterized this feudal society in Latin America. Like many other Latin American governments, El Salvadoran regimes have been supported by the U.S. for almost 150 years.

Our reasons for backing oppression, murder, torture and land theft have varied from a desire to retain access to South American resources and sea lanes to the Panama Canal, to a pathological U.S. chauvanism about Latin America which maintains that the region is "ours." During this cen­twj, those motives, plus a thirst for the "stability" necessary to repay U.S.-backed loans, and a desire to mold other nations in our own cor­porate-statist image, have contributed to our support of an unbroken string of military dictatorships.

• Beating the system: ''legal''· highs by Paul Jaffe

Want to lose 10 pounds this week? _ Want to drive a rig from Denver to

Miami non-stop? Want to work an eight­Ir hour shift, clean your house and then

write a term paper? You may need some chemical assistance.

The Connection, a chain of four Den­ver-area stores which have opened in the last three weeks, sells "legal body stimulants." Quite intentionally, these

The manager of the Westminister store is named Mickey. Mickey claims that at some point in the last 10 years, legal sub­stances began turning up on what had Qi

that the ad is for real. But, once they're in, they just smile and understand that this is the same stuff that everyone's been happy with on the street,'' Mickey says.

In an attempt to placate community groups, The Connection has included in these ads the statement, "Must be 18 years old to purchase," although this has no legal basis, according to Mickey.

Mickey, who has a non-prescription pharmaceutical license from the State and a general retail license from West­minster, has not been harassed by authorities. He says the same cannot be said of the main store on East Colfax.

"Police wander around the store in an attempt to scare customers away. They've tried to rip open the seals and then arrest the store personnel for not having seals on the bottles."

Denver police deny any such harassment.

Mickey sells a 100-lot (100 pills) of 1'- "black beauties" for $15. Sources

"Those poor people are being ripped off," Mickey asserts, referring to buyers

Mickey does voice other aspirations. "We want to take the 100-lot business

What is being sold at The Connection? Three substances, according to Mickey: phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, ephedrine sulfate and caffein. The first two are common decongestants. The caf: fein is used stricly as "filler," Mickey

drinking 15 cups of coffee a day and don't mind the caffein," Mickey says.

Graveyard-shift workers also buy the pills. But by far the biggest clientele are "ladies who are all married and have kids and bank accounts" - women who want to lose weight.

These are the same pills distributed by diet doctors, Mickey says, but cheaper.

The pills come in bottles which are sealed and labelled - the only way they can be legally sold, according to Mickey. The labels are in black and white. They conjure up a description: "Generic Speed."

The labels list no wholesaler and Mickey declined to name one.

They do contain warnings against taking more than two capsules per day. They warn -; in print that is less than one-sixteenth of an inch in height -against use by persons with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes or thyroid problems. Finally they conclude, "Safe use in pregnancy has not been established." '

~s m~5~~ Don't waste any time with 'Heaven's Gate'

by Emerson Schwartzkopf

In. this week's Parade magazine, the lead investigative feature involved cruelty to animals during movie filming. Aniong the main offenders, as cited by a "watch­dog" group on the film industry, is Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate.

Unfortunately, there exists no society for the prevention of curelty to movie audience. If such an august organization came into being to issue warnings against films, Heaven's Gate would recieve im­mediate and justifiable condemnation.

Heaven's Gate, above all, exists as a momument to waste. Throughout the movie, a lack of character development makes little or no use of talents like Christopher Walken or John Hurt; elaborate ·sets and scenery are used for small and vague purposes; and the1 lack of a solid storyline and plot leads to a waste of nearly two-and-a-half hours of an audience's time.

Audience consideration, however, played a major role in this particular ver­sion of Heaven's Gate. Originally a four­hour epic (with intermission), the film received universal critical disclaim after only a few select screenings late last year. United Artisti>, with a $36 million invest-

ment in the movie, withdrew Heaven 's Gate from originally-scheduled Christ­mas distribution plans.

The present release of Heaven's Gate is a re-edited version; or to put the phrasing more accurately, this movie received a chop job. Heaven's Gate wanders so

Knocking Heaven 's Gate, at present, may turn into a popular (though short­lived) national sport. The monumental failure of this film, combined with the heavy pre-release publicity, may make Heaven's Gate the most known film of 1981.

Isabell Huppert and Kris Kristofferson w~nder what Heaven's Gate is about.

To explain the why of Heaven's Gate, there shoulclbe a look at the film's inten­ded story. Heaven's Gate bases itself on the factual Johnson County War in 1890s Wyoming, where autocratic stockmen conspired to kill "unwanted" persons -i.e., immigrants - without benefit of charges or trial. In one of the last instan­ces of American frontier war, the im­migrants fought back to win their place on the land.

Are there deep meanings to be con­tribed from this storyline? Cimino thinks so; Heaven's Gate spends most of its

running time fleshing out intonations of American identity, the Code of the West, and tales of passion.

Even with 147 minutes of film, however, Heaven's Gate does little more than a superficial effort at attempting to , cover its thematic areas. A prolonged prologue shows the bright spring of youth at the Harvard graduation of 1870; much pomposity is shown, but nothing explained. The lighting jump to Casper, Wyoming in 1892 furthers plot con­fusion, as if there was a plot to begi~

Brand new Who -is a ·rock coup by Emerson Scbwartzk-0pf

Reviewed this week: It-- FACE DANCES/ The Who/ Warner

Brothers HS 3516 CELEBRATE THE BULLET I The Selecter/ Chrysalis CHR 1306 SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES/ The Rolling Stones/ Rolling Stones COC 16028

.. The 1970s, history books will doub­tlessly offer, began as a decade full of/ rebirth and hope, brimming with the potential of social change and better­ment.

And, the ages of the past are like to continue, the decade ended in a muddled

.,.mess, with uncertain offerings of im­provement in the next ten year cycle.

Rock music tended to parallel this historical course; the free-from inven­tiveness and loving optimism doled out in the early 1970s gave way to the strange narcissistic locksteps of discotheque and

._ bastardized country music. What hap­- pened?

Three recent releases - by the very famous and not-yet famous - help to illustrate the changes in music for the benefit of the new decade - changes both good and bad.

··- The very best artists semingly develop independent of trends; or, they start their own. The Who found them­selves in an extremely unique position in the 1970s, maturing in their own style of the decade ... and watching their former Mod music make a comeback as part of

#the new wave onslaught.

Face Dances, The Who's newest, shows the band still retains part of that

~ Mod influence - with alterations. The 1981 offerings of Pete Townshend (and, intermittently, John Entwhistle) are the voice of the young rebels grown up, suc­cessful and uneasy in a world they originally chose to disdain.

The original anger of The Who eased J.over the 1970s to mellower reflections, as

with Who Are You; Face Dances poses the questions of self once again. In some ways, the queries this time find answers.

However, the replies are more pragmatic than philisophical. The loss of Keith Moon robbed The Who of rock's

\ most distinctive drummer; the similar death of Led Zepplin's John Bonham led that group to "presently" disband.

Moon's replacement, Kenney Jones,

(and more predictable) drumming style. Jones' more subdued approach on

Face Dances neatly accentuates En­twhistle's bass work. Partly because of Jones - and, because of Eagles producer Bill Szymczyk's deft work on Dances -Entwhistle's bass takes a sharper, more "high-end" turn, effectively recreating his in-concert sound.

The Who, however, does depend on one person wholly for its guidance and existance. Peter Townshend, on Face Dances, still tries to make sense out of the world through English working class idiomatics and odd instrumentations.

Townshend, though, tones down the eccentrics in favor of more straightfor­ward rock. "You Better You Bet," despite occasional flourishes, remains as contemporary to the 1980s as REO Speedwagon or Styx. The questioning of todays life, on "Bet" plus "Did You Steal My Money" and "How Can You Do It Alone," give general introspection without utilizing mass - and pretentions - analysis (as with Quadrophenia).

Face Dances doesn't show Town­shend's and The Who's complacence; this is an album of survival. Or, as Town­shend puts it on "Don't Let Go The Coat:"

Your friends all pass for life is just amarket but you have to finish everything l

you started. So I live my life tearing down the runway sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday. •

Part of that survival, though, bases it­self on the creation of new sounds in rock, of growth and expansion in the music. The new wave movement of the late 1970s started rock moving in several new directions - including Ska, a revival of the Jamaican music of the mid-1960s.

Luckily, the Ska revival is now producing new hybrid sounds for rock in the 1980s. And, one of the new music leaders should be The Selecter.

This British band, along with The Specials, sparked initial interest in Ska; now, with their new release, Celebrate The Bullet, The Selecter stand to make their own way in rock.

The Rolling Stones hit bottom continued from page 13 themes with Celebrate the Bullet using shocking clarity. "Bombscare" and "Selling Out Your Future" take harsh swipes at repressive government and its effects; and "Bristol' and Miami,~' speaking about discrimination and violent blacklash. becomes more relev'ant with London's recent race disturbances in Brixton.

The quick dance music and hot political themes of Celebrate The Bullet make The Selecter appear more and more to be among rock's saviours for regerating the style in the 1980s. Unfor­tunately, they may have to steer around very prominent dead wood.

If the action hastens the demise of these rock dinosaurs, perhaps a tax-free grant should be offered to Wyman as incentive.

·~· · ..

Last year, Bill Wyman announced he would leave The Rolling Stones in the next few years to promote a solo career.

Sucking In The Seventies does nothing to enhance the argument of The Rolling Stones remaining as a potent force in rock. Despite starting the 1970s as the hottest rock group, the Stones soon fell into parodying themselves before produc­ting some awful discotheque music.

4 The Rolling Stones embody the dark

side of 1970s rock music - the artists who never quit while still tolerable. The first side of Seventies, in a new twist of.a "best of" record, detail the absolute worst of The Rolling Stones, with "Hot Stufr' and "Fool To Cry." Even one o.fe the better Stones tunes of that mid-1970s era, "Time Waits For No One," is but­chered by over a minute-and-a-half . of cutting.

The second side gives some indication of the Stones' now-dormant talent, with live versions of ''When The Whip Comes • Down" and the bluesy "Mannish Boy." "If I Were a Dancer," though, is a thin rework of the trendy New York influence on Emotional Rescue, where the Stones wallow in platinum album slop.

But, this becomes further proof of the Stones outliving their talent - and yet­gaining a new set of fans unfamiliar with "Heart of Stone" and "19th Nervous Breakdown. " The young rebels are rapidly turning into old farts; Sucking In The Seventies. in doing its part, smells. Badly.

Cimino bites the Western dust continued from page 12 with.

The problem with Cimino's version of the Johnson County War comes with a lack of reasoning for the conflict itself. The struggle between immigrants and cat­tlemen is hazily defined; is the animosity based on fraudulent land claims, the stealing of livestock, okr what?

.,. · (p;t . . ,.o,. trodemorlo• ol CBS Int. c 1981 CBS Int .

Cimino overlooks this key point; his main contention is the prospect of war between the old frontier settlers and the new, .foreign peoples. And, the viewers of Heaven's Gate get lots of war. Shotguns blow apart stomachs. Errant sticks of dynamite blow up horses. And, those persons killed by the stockman's hired group of mercenaries die the Bonnie and

Clyde method of screen death - gaining at least 10 pounds· of leaded weight before becoming statistics.

And, during all the killing, Cimino rarely establishes the real killer and killed. major characters disappear during gunfights, resurface and appear to be shot, and then return unscathed during another shootout.

~· ,_ .. ....... . '""-

For some of the actors in Heaven's Gate, a quick death early on would've benefited their professional reputations. While Kris Kristofferson mumbles through a whiskey haze as the noble;• idealistic sheriff, fine actors such as Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Sam Waterston drown in stilted suppor­ting roles. Hurt, known for The Elephant Man and Caligula on PBS's I Claudius, portrays a rich drunk providing nothingtllli more than comic relief; Waterson, a-­veteran stage actor, wanders through Heaven's Gate as a heavy with nothing more than an evil smirk and an in­credulous fur hat.

Only Walken gives anything near a worthwhile performance in Heaven's Gate; his icy indifference to killing, co~ bined with a tender attraction to the town whore and the downtrodden immigrants is the only insight in the entire film to the true frontier character, the survivalist with morals and habits shaped by the land, not society. But Walken's charac­ter, as with every role in Heaven 's Gate, ,. never comes to full foruition. Per­sonalities are subdued, building the film for a emotional confrontation never oc­curing in the end.

Michael Cimino, as sole writer and director of Heaven's Gate, must bear responsibility for this tragic mess of 11 film. On only his third major film, Cimino tried to piece together a patch­work of idealism, frontier life , and America - with a large part of ego on the side. The result is an overly­ind ulge n t, incomprehensible conglomeration of film clips; after $3e­million and much consternation, the film still looks unfinished and unwanted.

The tragedy becomes more sad with the remembrance of Cimino's most famous previous effort - The Deer Hunter. While Cimino effectively recounted the painful lessons of Vietnam in The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate portrays the Johnson County War as a meaningless battle bearing no lessons and no results . . . just death.

Just as with Vietnam, the killing in end-of-the-frontier Wyoming meant much more; the concrete conclusions·; however, elude Cimino, Heaven's Gate, and the movie audiences unfortunate to witness this cinematic disaster.

It took over five months for Heaven's Gate to eventually open in neighborhood theatres. The closing should be sooner -and final.

SRorts .... Soccer: blend of talent and effort

METROPOLITAN SCOREBOARD BASEBALL:

.Tues., April 21, MSC left Mines in the dust in a double-header first game 14-3, and 13-4 second game.

~ by Tenon Hutt

With a record of 8-2-1 the MSC Women's Soccer team looks forward to ending the Spring semester with a fine record and a hopeful spot in the regionals this Fall. y Harry Temmer, head coach remarked,

lliJ"''We have a tremendous program. The participation in the program has been fantastic; the purity of the MSC Athletic

c

/£.~m• ·-Program is a positive thing.

" The students are not here because they're getting paid - there are no big scholarships here," Temmer said.

A soccer coach for 15 years, Temmer can look back and see this team's progress.

J/I The MSC Women's Soccer team has been in operation for six years and are in their second year of varsity play.

" The club before was funded by the girls themselves, and they played against other high school clubs then," Temmer

; aid. "MSC helped in community in­volvement and in getting other high

school teams ready." Temmer also stated MSC is enjoying a

higher degree of credibility this year. ' 'The girls represent MSC well; the school can be proud of the team," Tem­mer added.

"The girls know if we get it together we have a shot to qualify at the regionals. Beth Wilkerson, a junior, is definitely a scoring threat to whom ever she plays and Cindy Labriola, a freshman, has grown

up in Junior Soccer Leagues and has a lot of skills. She has provided many assists lo Beth this year," Temmer proudly said.

Bill Chambers, assistant coach for the team commented, " We have a pretty phenomenal team, composed of 75 per­cent freshmen, who really play well. We had trouble with our defense the first couple of games."

"We're always interested in getting new players especially with women - not many come out. The men have been established so there's no problem there," Chambers said.

He added, "Some of the freshmen

Cure the bllies with Churchill Downs

The thundering hooves of champion thoroughbreds will pound their way around the track at Churchill Downs

"' this Saturday in the 107th Kentucky Derby.

The emerging favorite in this year's run for the roses is Proud Appeal, the winner of last Thursday's Blue Grass Stakes. Proud Appeal has an im­pressive career record of eight wins in

• nine starts, five of which were this year.

Tap Shoes is another contender, but has only raced twice this year. The condition of the track at race time will be of great importance since this horse

~· has difficulty with sloppy or muddy K tracks. Tap Shoes was scratched from

competition in the Blue Grass Stakes because the track was in bad con­dition.

.t'J:·r . -' . ,

Another likely entrant is Cure the Blues. Cure the Blues had a perfect record of six wins in six starts, but lost to Proud Appeal earlier this year. Nevertheless, the horse remains a con­tender.

This year's Kentucky Derby is likely to have between 15 and 20 horses en­tered; 20 horses is the maximum allow­ed.

Other likely entrants include Bold Ego (winner of the Arkansas Derby), Pleasant Colony, Double Sonic, and Always A Cinch.

No Derby story would be complete without a predition. For the record, I predict the outcome to be Cure the Blues, Proud Appeal, then Tap Shoes in third. The race will be broadcast on television, the mint juleps are up to you.

players coming into the team J:!OW have had IO years experience. So, there is a lot of interest here. Soccer is a good sport and a lot of people play.''

Head Coach Temmer wraps it up with, "We maintain positive energy and at­titude. We try to get the women to believe in themselves and in each other. We want them to play together as a team; we don't want to be selfish. This kind of thing makes for a good team. Even the worst player is part of the team. We maximize talent and team effort."

April 23 against Colorado College, MSC won first game 13-2, and the second game, I0-2. Tim Stovick pitched six and two-thirds innings of no-hitters in a seven inning game.

Over the weekend MSC played ·Western State College in a double­hetder winning the first game 12-5. WSC won the second game 6-1 .

The MSC Baseball Team ranked in NAIA Top IO Hitters.
