Fontera believes the issues in limbo and future problems can be solved easier if the SFPC's power structure is reorganized.

The SFPC h~ existed in one form or another since MSC was started. It wasn't included in the Auraria structure until 1981, when the SACAB rewrote the bylaws and included all of the in­stitutions.

The function of the SFPC wasn't changed. Its purpose is to oversee the Student Center, which is funded by student fees.

The only moderation was to Jiave 'the SFPC report to the SACAB, who wouldn't have the power to veto or support SFPC decisions, but would just relay the votes, as recommendations, to the Auraria Board.

uWhen I was on the board, Jerry's (Wartgow, AHEC ex­ecutive director) only concern was that the SFPC didn't report to anybody," said MSC Aluminus Ruth Pelton-Ruby, who was on the SACAB in 1981.

President-elect Johnson, who finished 23 votes behind in the Oct. 4-8 elections which were invalidated, was ad­ministered the oath of office Monday. He congratulated all the candidates and thanked "the 255 students that voted for \l.S."

He expressed a desire to work with outgoing ASMSC president Cris Gon­zalez, who assumed that office two weeks ago when Loring Crepeau resign­ed. Gonzalez said, "I'll be glad to be at your disposal." .

We plan to truly represent the students," Johnson said. "We'll not let you down."

Play about Dorothy Parker a UCD 'work in process' _ ....

An original one-woman play based on the life and work of Dorothy Parker, played by Ruth Seeber, will premiere in Denver on December 1 and run for three weeks.

"Laughter and Hope and a Sock in the , Eye" was written by Denverite Rory

Seeber especially for UCD's "Works in Process" project.

The play's director, Laura Cuetara, assistant professor of theatre at -UCO, founded the four-year-old project to of­fer generally unobtainable experience to

~playwrights, actors, students and au­die?ces by involving them all in the pro­duction of an original script.

Following each performance of the Parker play~ the audience will be en­couraged to discuss the production with the writer, director and actress. Entire

.... scenes may be revised, or even

eliminated based on this process. To facjlitate audience involvement one ticket purchase will be valid for multiple performances.

Dorothy Parker was well-known in the 20s and 30s as a wit, poet and critic. Her fascinating personality, combined with the wealth of first person reporting in her work, helped to create a complex portrait of a woman and artist in the UCO production, Cuetara said.

"Laughter and Hope and a Sock in the Eye," will be performed December 1-4, 9-11 and 16-18 in Room 278 at the Arts Building. All performances are at 8:30 p.m. except the December 11 perfor­mance, which begins at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $4 for general admission and $2 for students, seniors and children. For more information and to make reservations, call 629-2730.

Artreach's 'Festival of Trees' to be held Dec. 3-5 -Begin the 1982 holiday season amid

Note: Several volunteers, 5-foot, 10-inches or taller, are needed to share the role.,of Douglas Firbanks Jr. during the Festival of Trees. Interested persons

should call Jennifer at 777-2209.

.....

One of the first things he w~ do, Johnson said, will be to schedule a meeting of the student governments of MSC, UCD and CCD-A "to attack the library problem."

The 730 votes cast in the election more than doubled those cast in the previow election. For the first time, two polling places were open, in the Student Center and West Classroom, and the polls were open on two nights for evening students.

Results of the election were not known until midnight the last day of voting, Nov. 19. Paper ballots were used because the ASMSC was not able to get a voting machine from the Denver Elec­tion Commission in the short time before the election.

The results were considered unofficial pending any contestations by any of the

candidates, a procedure which led to the invalidation of two previous elections; The election commission met on Nov. 24 and, since _no one had filed any formal contestations, the elections were declared valid.

ASMSC elections are normally held in the spring, but these dragged on into the fall semester. The election commission will meet to decide whether the new ad­ministration will servej_ust until the spr­ing when anoth.er election will be held, or for a full year, which would necessitate an election next fall.

Vice-president Kelly said he would be scheduling a meeting to review the ASMSC constitution. There has been some question about which of two copies is the one in effect. 0

Sf PC structure to be discussed continued from page l

"He thought it would be a good idea to have a· committee that would fit into the scheme of things (at Auraria)," she added.

Wartgow still thinks it's basically a good idea and is satisfied with the SFPC structure, but "is willing to discuss it" with Fontera or anyone else who's unhappy with the council.

Fontera wants to discuss the SFPC

situation with Wartgow internally rather than bring up the issue in front of the entire Auraria Board when it meets later this month.

Fontera, W artgow and the two other Auraria institutions' leaders will meet next Wednesday for their bi-monthly Auraria Executive Committee con­ference, and the SFPC structure will probably be discussed at that time. O

Safety snarls stereo headset trend by Cindy Kay Ulrickson

Portable, radio-cassette players rode into Denver in high gear three years ago, and cyclists, drivers, joggers and roller skaters buzzed through the city amid controversy about the gadget's safety. ·

The use of headphone sets in motor vehicles has been banned in eight states: California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, ·Minnesota, Penn­sylvania, Virginia and Washington.

Denver passed a similar ordinance in 1977 making it unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle wearing ear­phones, unless they're attached to a medically prescribed hearing aid.

The trend to limit the use of such headsets outside of motor vehicles began in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. The anti-headphone ordinance, adopted in October of this year, prohibits the use of such devices by those operating motor vehicles, as well is by bicyclists and pedestrians.

"People using a headset while walking or jogging on the city streets are jeopar­dizing their life and mine," said Wood­bridge Councilman Richard Kuzniak, who sponsored the ordinance.

The law, which carries a punishment of a $50 fine and/or 15 days in jail, has

had only one conviction," Kuzniak said in a recent telephone interview. "A 65-year-old retired man from another community wants to test it (his convic-tion) in court."

Kuzniak said he first heard of a headSet-related death when he was con­tacted by a Toronto reporter about the Woodbridge law. A 17-year-old Toronto youth was killed because he had been unable to hear an approaching train while wearing headphones.

Other cities, including New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, are consider­ing a ban on headphone use. However, the fervor among lawmakers has not yet reached Denver.

"No one in the city attorney's office has been requested to re-write the or­dinance to include bicycles," said John Palermo, assistant supervisor of the Denver city attorney's office.

'Tm slightly biased in favor of them (Sony Walkmen) because I sell them," said Paul Miner, assistant manager of Stereo Plus in Denver. "But some people with high-powered stereo systems in their cars can't hear emergency vehicles or beeping horns.

"Denver is as bad as LA or anywhere else," he added. "Automobile drivers feel they are the only ones who should be on the road."

Miner, who doesn't drive a car and bicycles to work during the summer, said, "I feel like a sitting duck on Denver's streets."

Today's light-weight, open-air head­phones have come a long way since their predecessors. "Ski areas started renting Astraltunes nine or ten years ago," Miner said. "They were actually modified car tape players with miniature loudspeakers in adjustable headphones."

Miner noted that several portables have talk switches which either totally cut out the musical signal or reduce it.

The personal stereo trend is so new that its influence on motor vehicle/bicy­cle accidents has not been measured.

"Most accident reports do not contain information about whether a.cyclist in­volved in an accident with a motor vehi­cle was wearing a portable headset or not," said Wayne Skeen of the Colorado

Motor Vehicle Department. Man)" bicyclists say wearing a por­

table headset affects a rider's safety. "I think they are dangerous," said Bob

Ahl, vice president of the Denver Bicy­cle Touring Club. "Just by its very· nature, it would be easy to get caught up in the tempo and nuances of the music."

Another club member who uses a headset commuting to work, Lou Dixon said, 'Tm always really aware of what's around me." Dixon also said he removes his headset while riding in downtown .. traffic.

Corina Armani, DBTC member and UCD sutdent, said she bought a headset for a trip to Yellowstone but does not use it anymore because she "found it distracting."

Armani described a rider she had seen ' with a headset swaying his bike to the music. "It's crazy to get so involved in what you're hearing." 0

Peer Tutoring is a program designed to help MSC, UCD and CCD students help themselves economically and educationally while helping others. Stu­dent tutors participate in classroom ac­tivities and in-service meetings while tutoring their peers in specific subject areas.

Manufacturers, society face price of protection

by James Tabor

Editor's note: This is the conclusion of James Tabor's series on "copycat" crimes and their consequences.

As the nation rebounds from the co-pycat poisons, industry and con­

• Jmers prepare for the future. Manufacturers and society face an

enormous price tag in a combined effort to protect innocent people.

McNeil Consumer Products -manufacturers of Tylenol - spent $100 million just in the recall effort. This

-r price does nQt include the tremendous effort necessary for the continued pro­duction of Tylenol.

Four lawsuits have been filed in Chicago asking up to $10 million dollars in damages following the Tylenol­related deaths.

•, A new insurance policy - Product In­tegrity Insurance - is gaining peopularity among the nation's m­dustries. This policy protects companies partially for any adverse advertising or recall efforts, or any cost necessary to

.1 rebuild a company's image. For every extreme there exists an op­

posite extreme; the copycatters are at one extreme and the self-induced con­taminations are at the opposite.

Charges were recently filed in Virginia against a woman who is

drops, trying to get everi with the retail outlet.

A 14-year-old boy in Minneapolis put Drano into his milk in an effort to gain publicity.

Among the increasing monetary pro­blems challenging industries today is a reduction of consumer activity. Manv people no lon~er buy on impulse and certain products are not bought at all.

In an effort to protect product mtegn­ty, stores are moving over-the-counter medicines behmd the counter.

Stores will probably increase camera surveillance, which should also help reduce shoplifting, while providing pic­tures of suspect activity.

On Oct. -14. 1982, the Food and Drug Admrnistration announced new guidelines for tamper-resistant· packag-ing. ' ·

Ur. LeRoy M. Gomez, district direc­tor of the FDA, told how the new regulations were established.

"Immediately after the seven Chicago deaths, the FDA contacted various com­panies and found we were all in agree­ment that it was necessary to review our packaging regulations. The various manufacturers and the FDA were anx­ious to expedite the necessary process, in an attempt to secure product integrity."

The options laid forth in the tamper­resistant regulation allows manufac­turers flexability in choosing which

Involvement? We have it! The ASMSC electio~ took fire through the campus

this time around. This election has definitely held up to the slogan "Third Time's the Charm."

We've seen more student involvement in voting than any past election; students show that they do care about who will be representing them. Congragula­tions to all students of MSC!

What about the candidates? They all worked diligently in their campaigns to make themselyes known to the students. Even though only a few people will take office, in my opinion, all candidates are winners because they took the initiative to show that they were concerned enough about student government to get in­volved. You were all successful!

I am writing this column before finding out about the election results, and would like to say in anticipa­tion to the winners . .. goodluck and work harder than hell for the students of MSC. Display pride for your student government, and other students will follow your example. Work with each other, not against each other as can easily be-the inclination when we are working with different opinions and feelings. Com­municate with the administration openly, they are people with thoughts and ideas that need to be con-sidered heavily. ·

For those of you who did not win, we in student government will not accept a defeatist attitude, let's see that dedication you displayed in campaigning ap­plied in a constructive way in assisting student govern-

I'd like to take this opportunity to give Mr. Presi­dent, Loring Crepeau, .a special goodbye ...

Loring, it has been a real privilege working with you as vice-president of MSC. In the short time that · we've worked together, I've learned a great deal about this campus and saw how much you helped students who came to you with problems. You were a hard working and enthusiastic president!

In closing, I'd like to see student government grow , and thrive off the good things that we can all put into it!

Letters A typical case of man vs. machine ~tors,

I recently had a most revealing conversation with Mr. John N. Quirk, who is the head of the bookstore on the campus of the Shockley College of Computer Science and Human Re-Design. Mr. Quirk and his associates in the bookstore have recently purchased a Honeywell computer, which Mr. Quirk refers to as "My Little Honey," and installed it in a space previously used by the health clinic in the same building as the bookstore. Following is our conversa­tion:

ME: Mr. Quirk, first, how much is this computer worth and how did you manage to pay for it? """ MR. QUIRK: Oh, My Little Honey here is only a cheapie, in terms of hardware these days, and the soft­ware we're getting for cheap because one of my people got a friend in the biz who knows where to lay hands on such stuff, if you know what I mean.

ME: I'm not sure that I do. ;..MR. QUIRK: Well, you look at it this way. What are friends of friends for? You see?

ME: (I didn't but I went on anyway.) But we never established an actual dollar value ...

MR. QUIRK: Oh yea, about a quarter of a mil. Nothing fancy, only the basics. But it's worth it. We'll be able to get rid of a whole bunch of these work-study ~ple who a1'e not very good, trainable-wise. You know. And they keep calling in sick.

ME: Speaking of which, you took over the space allocated for health care for the computer.

MR. QUIRK: And that ain't true. That's what the rat-rag of a newspaper thing said 'cause they think we're after their office space. All we did here was find 4re wasted space and use it good. See, some of them nurses was mucking around here, you kn,ow, doing nothing but making a lot of stiffs say ahhhh and stuff and my Little Honey needed the r<:><>m more so here she is. Ain't she spiffy? ·

ME: B.ut what about the people who need qealth care?

MR. QUIRK: Hey, since we replaced all them mal­ingerers with My Little Honey, they don't call in sick because we don't need them anymore and they don't

need to come here and get all gross. Seel They can stay home and do that.

ME: I see. Just what will this ... Little Honey do? MR. QUIRK: Someday this baby will have little

babies and they'll be robots to unload the books from the truck and take them over to that area where the bathrooms are wasting a lot of space. Then another robot arm attached to the computer will open and mark the price inside every book, including a nickel extra to pay for the computer, and another robot will take the books over to the bookstore and stack them on the shelves. And then, when the robots ... students come in we will have a fully automated, computerized check-out-paying and anti-short check machine to process them. No human hand will ever have to touch a book again. Hey, we're talking ~ajor books here.

ME: I see, major books mean major space. Where

do you propose to display all the books you wip pro­cess?

MR. QUIRK: Oh, that, well we'll probably be ex­panding upstairs into the wasted space available up there.

ME: I can't think of any wasted space upstairs. MR. QUIRK: Sure, what we now call the cafeteria.

Boy, there's a joke ..

ME: The cafeteria! But where will the students eat? MR. QUIRK: Eat, schmeetl See that little girl across

the street selling hot dogs outta that stand? Does she need fancy tables and lots of chairs? Nol All you do with all that furniture taking up all that room is make people lazy.

Classes have all the eleinents of romance It has occurred to me, in my return to school this

fall, that attending a new class is very much like the start of a new romance - the initial introduction, the courting and later, the disappointment that comes with reality. All these romance-related stages come to mind every time I set down at my desk and open my textbook. '

We all know that feeling of looking across a crowd­ed room (produce aisle, laundromat, etc.) and spot­~g that new face. Slowly, while still very conscious of our own separate selves, we make the effort to find a common bond, some similar ground, and then to make contact.

That common ground literally can be just that -the place in which you both find yourselves. You can talk about the hors d'oeuvres, the generic canned goods or the dryet that never gets hot. It's the connec­tion of being in it together.

A classroom is so similar. The instructor and the students approach the situation wrapped up in their own identities, their separate lives. But by being in the same course with an interest in the same subject, a bond is formed. The talk is hesitant and a bit super­ficial - the instructor takes roll and talks about the class in a general manner - but the connection is

made. Tlie ice has been broken and the courting stage

quickly follows. In a budding relationship each person wants to expose themself a little, letting the other per­son in on some of their personal quirks.

In the classroom, the same thing happens. The teacher wants the class to \now him/her better, so there is plenty of small talk-and a few nervous jokes. The class usually responds with the same amount of cautious opennes.s. They will laugh a little too loudly at the jokes, nod their heads approvingly, and gleam acceptance back from their entranced little eyeballs. It's as if they are dedicated to each other.

And then there is the notetakirig. Just like a lover, caught on the lovee's every word, the student quickly jots down everything the teacher utters. There is no friction between the two parties. Each side fulfills its role in the relationship and they all seem happy.

But then, as with most love affairs, reality slowly sets in. With our special classroom romance, the con­flict is teacher versus student, adult versus child, domination and submission. The teacher, after receiv­ing his/her n~ary strokes in the courting stage, begins to act out the curriculum - I lecture, you listen. I test, you study. I Tarzan, you Jane.

And "Jane" naturally starts to resist. There isn't

much aflassroom can do to resist this domination/sub­mission cycle - the teacher has all the cards - but the students have one very large and very effective weapon to turn against a teacher who insists on being in control. It's the same frightening, unfightable weapon lovers use on one another - boredom.

There's no defense against boredom. If someone is angry, they can be calmed and quieted. If someone is sad, they can always be cheered up. But if someone is bored, well, there is practically nothing that can be done. · Teachers face the same dilemma. They hold all the power in the classroom so the students rebel by being uninterested. That response is so unexpected and the instructor sees it as so hurtful, it becomes the perfect defense against sub~ion. The end of a semester never arrives too soon.

But what about a happy ending? Some romances work out in a very happy way with the two people promising to love one another forever. Doesn't that ever happen in the classroom romance? Do the teacher and the students ever ride off into the sunset together? Can there be true love amidst true-false exams?

I think not. Besides, how would they raise the kids?

Teachers discuss taking tests· by Kathleen L. Humphreys

Editor's note: With final exams rapid­ly approaching, many students are star- . ting to get a funny feeling in the pit of their stomachs.

Kathleen 'Humphreys talked to some people with some definite theories about test-taking.

"School is one of th~ games. Test tak­ing is one of the components of the game." said Joseph Kandel, a doctoral student in guidance and counseling at the University of Northern ·Colorado who authored "Taking Tests with greater effectiveness and less stress. "

"It's a kno.wn fact; everyone hates to take examinations," Kandel said. "Also a -little known fact is that most teachers hate to give them."

MSC marketing professor Pam Mar­cum considers alternatives to testing and yet sees the necessity for it.

"A reasonable alternative to testing," said Marcum, "is a chance to develop with each student experientially, to see how they apply what they have learned.

"Unfortunately, when you're dealing with three classes of 40-50 students that becomes an impossibility, but most pro­fessors realize you have _to give some weight to testing and some weight to what students learn," Marcum added.

Greg Dahl, an MSC education stu­dent, examined the testing issue from a student's perspective.

devise and to. score, so he utilizes alter­natives.

"Therefore, I grade according to other criteria such as attendance and projects," Kandel said. "It seems to me that students are more attentive and participate with greater enthusiasm when there are no tests hanging over their heads."

But the-academic reality at Auraria is test-taking and the resultant test anxie­ty. Kandel proposes general rules of thumb that insure examination success:

--With a minimum of determination, it is virtually impossible to fail.

--The further you go in higher educa­tion, the easier it .is to go further.

--All teachers appreciate an aQSwer that is well-organized.

--Never, never panic. --If you don't know the answer admit

it, and as briefly as possible. --When the test is finished, forget it.

"I don't think tests are evewt}ling," asserted Dahl. "If you can take a test and pass it that doesn't mean you will ~ know the information for any length of ~ time.

"Testing is a good way to evaluate the students, but the emphasis should be placed on learning," continued Dahl. "Knowing the information for the test is not the same as having a grasp on the concept behind the information."

Kandel does not see testing as a viable method and has not administered a test since 1978. He sees exams as tedious to

Organization, according to Kendel, seems to be the password to academic success, and for good reason. Organiza­tion reduces anxiety and time strain.

First, the student should gauge ex­isting knowledge of the subject area and adjust his/her time committment.

AURARIA LIBRARY

OPEN MEETING The Auraria Library will have additional budget C'uts due to the

· current and projected State revenue shortfall. Given rC'strictions plac·ed upon the Lihrary. this will necessitate a further c·ut in services. Suggested options include elimination of telephone reference, reserves. or current periodicals/microfidw services.

To provide an opportunity for students and facult~· to have input into the decision-making proeess, an open meeting will he held on Friday, December 3rd at 10:00 a.m. in Studio A I.lower le,·e) of the Lihraryl. Background infonnation is currently available at the Reference Desk.

Knowing the instructor through the academic grapevine will also help assess the needed study hours.

Kandel points out that the relation­ship of the class to the major field of in-

terest should measure the importance of the class. And present class standing would dictate leeway or needed academic improvement.

Lastly, interest in the subject will facilitate or hinder clam participation. The point is that with assessment comes awaren~. An advance knowledge of the time necessary helps students plan and prepare.

Preparation, although a tedious con­cept, is a key element in alleviating test anxiety. Kandel points out that if a stu­dent hasn't tackled the textbook, attend­ed classes or studied lecture notes the test anxiety is justified.

There must be a certain amount of studying, obviously, but there are helpful tips that reduce apprehension.

Kandel stresses organizing study and break time to add structure and securi­ty; a written schedule prevents fudging. Marcum also sees the importance of organization.

One of the hardest things, according to Marcum, is students coming to college without having good study patterns. Goal setting and study schedules are im­portant.

"Many students put off studying until the very last minute and it's not very productive," Marcum said.

Kandel believes asking for help by stu- ::C dying with a classmate or a study group pools the mental resources and main­taining good nutrition and rest habits, just as exercise and recreation guarantees mental alertness.

Students need to allow some extra time and space, advises Kandel. One way to do this is positive meditation twice a day, picturing oneself taking the test and doing_ well is beneficial.

Dahl, has his own method of prepar­ing for tests.

"I put myself in the instructor's shoes," Dahl said. "I try to look at points

the instructor felt were most important throughout the class. And when pro­f~ors give you chapters and chapters.("o read, I cover the main points and have those on my mind."

Marcum tells her students to prepare methodically for a test, to study inten­sively two nights before the exame and on the night before the test to pamper oneself and get a.good night's sleep. The notes should be quickly reviewed in the morning.

Taking the test is the next step. Kandel advises reading instructions and following directions--essay questions should follow an outline and relate to the question.

Feeling helpless and hopeless won·~ answer a question, but by breaking the question into small parts after mentally affirming one's ability to answer the question will help. Checking answers and reviewing essays ties up loose ends and gives the impression of confidence.

"When students come in to take an ex­am," agreed Marcum, "I tell them to read it through before they begin answering questions, especially for essay and fill-in-the-blank questions.

"Students should begin by answering questions they are positive about and give extra thought to those they aren't. Students tend to make questions harder than they really are--read in extra mean­ings," said Marcum.

Many students change their answers, mused Marcum, only to discover their first answer is correct. If students thought about test questions rationally they would do better .

"I disregard the consequences of what could happen on a test and concentrate on taking the test," said Dahl.

Marcum believes learning continues when the test is over. Mistakes in the ac­tual test-taking strategy can be applied to new testing situations.

Kandel says that when the test is finished, it's time to have fun. The need­ed reward is richly deserved. Dahl rewards himself by partying.

"If I have the money, I'll make the time," he said. ''I'll go somewhere,

'Review 'Walki~g On Air examines life, coping light-heartedly

by Ann Trudeau

Are you normal? If you read "Walk­ing On Air Without Stumbling," you'll learn you are. It's worth reading just to 'give yourself a positive stroke. It also tells you, in a delightful way, that it will uplift and carry you over the rocky crags that come into your life.

H. John Lyke, Ph.D. , MSC professor of psychology, provided the theory and his collaborator, Jeanne Peterson, pro­vided the words for this down-to-earth, easy-to-read, humorous approach to the

__ serious stuff which makes up our lives.

They said they both felt if the world was ever going to be ready for another self-help book,· it had better offer something other than "how to be your own best friend," or how to "look out for number one," or whatever the popul!lr psychological books have offered the public recently.

The authors' intentions were to pre­sent a light approach to the serious business of living.

As an example, the chapter, "It's Not What You Do, It's The Way That You Do 'It," sub-titled, "Coping With

,..Stress," illustrates the technique they use throughout the book.

First, they compared two fictitious

-Jeanne Peterson

women. One is a doctor with a busy schedule who must endure the pressures of the life and death decisions of an obstetrician. There didn't seem to be enough personal time for even a get-

• away weekend with her supportive mate. ·

The second woman is an L.P.N. who pondered the great many changes her field has undergone all the years she's had to work. This woman worries about her teenage daughter and seems to have a 'settled in' marriage. Both women are 45.

This fictional comparison explains that the stress the doctor undergoes, though involved with life and death, is a lot more manageable than what the L.P.N. has to deal with. The reason is the doctor has more control over the decisions in her life than the L.P.N. does.

John interjects -a professional aspect from his private practice by referring to two clients with stress-related problems and their solutions.

The rest of the chapter on stress has the ·co:authors telling anecdotes from their lives.

John tells about one of Jeanne's bad years where she and her family had a series of major disruptive crises that would have knocked any family out of its normal coping pattern.

Jeanne does the turnaround on John by explaining that his regular jogging helps him to cope with stress.

John felt their anecdotes made it easier for the readers to identify with them as real people with problems similar -to their own. As a result, the reader is shown that he is a lot closer to normal than his own situation may make him feel.

I told John and Jeanne I was shocked out of my expected enjoyment of a par­ticular section when I realized it just wasn't supposed to be funny. In fact, it was very serious.

"Would a person who was taking his inner search very seriously be offended by this light-hearted approach?" I ask­ed.

"This is not a book for people in desperate ~" Jeanne replied. "This is a book for those who are kind of muddling through (life), trying to decide ... 'is this a phase or does my child need help?'. .. catch the beginning pro­blems ... make decisions on needing help, or if they can, fix it themselves."

"If you take life too seriously," John laughingly added, "this is not the book for you."

I later asked if there was a reason they didn't include information about an inter-relationship with God as part of the healing process."

Their combined response was they hadn't thought of it, and they really felt that particular discipline had been covered in other publications.

This book is in its second printing locally. It has been received so well that they are now looking for an agent who will bring the book to the national scene.

John and Jeanne will be promoting the $6.95 paperback at an autograph pai:.ty, December 2, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Auraria Book Center.

John is also continuing to promote his game, "Gone Bananas," a game of nor­mal psychological behavior that is very positive to play.

"The unexamined life is not worth liv­ing," a favorite phrase of the .authors, prompted me to ask them if they themselves are "Walking On Air Without Stumbling."

"I just stumble now and th~n," Jeanne replied. "I feel I have really

reached my prime and really look for­ward to each day," John added thoughtfully. "Lots of things going on, very exciting." 0

'Gauntlet' gazes·toward stardom by Randy Gollcin

The heavy metal musicians in Gauntlet finally learned the gamut.

After years of beer bars, back room parties and behind the scene gigs, this band is now waiting for the big time before they go back in black.

The guys hungup their black leather skin-tight sexy suits, silver spurs and chains, make-up and funky hairdos.

Now the four young men in Gauntlet get up and go to regular hum drum jobs - two work in the Auraria Book Center. -

But the glittering gaze of stardom still remains in the hearts of the Gauntlet band members who spend every spare second of thefr time recording "I Want You," which should be completed by February.

"It's so hard to get record deals anymore, especially at our age," said 23-year-old band manager Kenny Lee Jatte.

"We were discussing it with the A & M Record Company, but they went with an older band just because they were older," he added. "The only way you can make it any more is to put out your own record (label) and then get a record company."

That's exactly what Jatte, 23-year-old Joey Truxillo (lead guitar) and Kyle Black (bass guitar) - both who work at ABC and 18-year-old drummer Sean Rigz plan to do. Gauntlet started recor­ding with about $2,000 in July of 1981, and now $5,000 later they are almost

finished. Gauntlet saved a lot of money by recording in a small inexpensive but efficient underground studio. Avalan­che Studios in Arvada, is crarnpP,i:f into a farmhouse basement, but according to the Gauntlet guys the equipment is ex­cellent.

"We're striving to be perfect, but in a different way," said Jatte. "If you're too perfect - it can ruin rock and roll. What we want to capture is that perfect feeling and energy."

"We got everybody in the same room to play together so we could get that feeling on tape, even though we would only be recording the drums," added Jatte. . Gauntlet's album "I Want You" is practically all original rock and roll ex­cept for "Wild Thing," which was done by the Troggs ·in the sixties.

All of the other songs on the album such as "More than a Kiss," "Woman," "Just Can't Hide," and "Are You Ready," were written by Truxillo and J atte, who are cousins.

The band has original songs but overall their music soun$ like many

other hard rock groups. Gauntlet at­tracts junior high kids and teenagers, who, according to J atte, buy the most albums. -

The Gauntlet look, act and image is just as important as the music because young kids need role models. The band has been together over four years, except for Rigz who joined.Gauntlet 2112 years ..: ago . . _

"We've received a lot of support local­ly," said Jatte. "I think that's because there hasn't ever been a rock and roll band that's made it out of Denver. I hope we're the first ones." 0

method best suits their particular pur­pose.

"There is no such thing as a tamper­proof container," said Dr. Edward Cooper, MSC assistant professor of marketing. "I believe it's time for a com­plete review of how and why involving retail packaging. Perhaps one of the best protections will be a continued awareness and education of consumers."

Neither the FDA nor manufacturers guarantees protection against malicious tampering. These regulations will make tampering more difficult by making the product packaging more resistant to sabotage.

The suggestions of tamper resistant laws range from film wr-appers to aerosol containers.

Over-the-counter drugs could be wrapped individually in blister or strip packages, and entry into the package

would be obvious. Bubble packs is another idea sug­

gested; the product is on displav and the plastic is sealed to the back of a display card.

Of course, shrink seals and bands are an option. Bands of plastic are shrunk around a cap, and by opening the cap you break the band.

A similar protective method is the use of seals. When removing the product, you must break a plastic security seal.

Breakable caps, when opened, will completely break away or leave a por­tion of the cap on the product.

Sealed tubes, where you again must break a seal to gain access to a product, are already in use.

The list goes on and on, but the bot­tom line remains. We as consumers must a,ccept more responsibility for products we buy.

.,

"It's unfortunate consumers had to be educated and made aware of what they • are buying by such a hard lesson," Cooper said. "More and more in the future, responsibility will rest on the consumer to inspect what we buy."

All the suggestions mentioned mean little more than an increased price tag if the consumers do not do their part. The ' -safety of all could be little more than a torn package away.

"We are entering an era where it is becoming unreasonable to expect government or industry to be solely responsible for consumer safety," -: Gomez said. "In the future the con­sumer will have to accept and deal on an individual level whether or not to buy any given product."

Consumer beware, the future has ar­rived. The safety of all lies in the hands of the buyer. 0

MS~ volleyball ·team third in nation: by Tammy Williams

..,. November 18 proved to be the beginn-ing of a hectic, yet glorifying weekend for MSC athletics, because both the women's varsity volleyball team and the varsity cross country team were prepar­ing for nationals.

"We were really fired-up," said Con­nie Dirks, a senior member of the MSC women's volleyball team that placed third in the nationals Nov. 20 at Regis College.

MSC won both of its first two matches of pool play; it beat Waynesburg 15-13 and 15-1, and defeated the University of

---<. Wisconsin at Milwaukee 15-12 and 15-6. M:.JC then lost its next and last game of pool play to the reigning championship team from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, 15-9 and 15-6.

MSC, seeded in the 9-12 category, ""> won two of its three pool matches so it

qualified for the eight-team single elimination bracket. where its first com­petitor was fourth seed Montevallo, Alabama.

MSC won the first game by 15-7, but lost the next two games 15-13 and 15-10.

"Carol Brown came on in the third game," Kathy Crusan, senior, said. "We had to have each ether; we couldn't do it without each other." Needless to say, MSC, the underdog, came back by win­ning the two remaining games 16-14 and 15-5. This qualified the Roadrunners for

r the semi-finals, where they faced Hilo; the scores were 15-7, 15-3 and 15-2, Hilo's favor.

The MSC team, which was by now seeded sixth, had to face Kearney State, who entered the competition in second

.. pla~. These two teams competed for the

third place position. The Roadrunners won the first two games_by 15-9 and 15-11, but loit the next two games by 18-16 and 15-9. The Roadrunners came back and won the deciding match 15-11,

,..., finishing the tournament in third place.

Outstanding players were Marie "Mickey" O'Donnell and Carol Brown, who were ranked tenth and eleventh in District VII and elected to _ the All­District team. Connie Dirks, junior, ranked fifteenth in the district, was among six players who received Honorable Mention.

The MSC cross-country team is the eighteenth-best collegiate squad in the nation, according to the results of the

._ NAIA national competition held in Kenosla, WI Nov. 20.

"The race was awesome," Warren ·Wick, freshman, said, "and we did well." Considering there were 90 teams represented, the MSC squad did excep­tionally well.

"It was a tough course," said Scott Paxson, the eleventh runner to finish the race. "There were places where we were ankle-deep in mud, but we had a great time, lots of fun and good experience."

All the runners who did an excellent job of representing both MSC and

--'District VII should be congragulated. John Liese, who finished first from the MSC squad and 35th out of 400 who ran

the race, has recently recovered fro_m a broken toe. Scott Paxson, freshman, was the second finisher from MSC; following him were Char-lee Blueback, John Veltman, John Hodges, George Frushour and Warren Wick.

The MSC squad is looking forward to next season, and rightly so, considering they will have an advantage over most, if not all, of the teams which it will com-

pete against. All of its members will be returning.

"We're capable of a lot better,'' Pax­son said, "every year we make leaps and bounds of improvement."

Blueback and Frushour did not even rest Sunday because they competed in the Rocky Mountain Road Race over a distance of 20 kilometers.

Blueback won a $50 gift certificat~ 1

and a trophy for winning the race,· and Frushour won a trophy for placing se­cond.

The MSC Women's Basketball Roadrunners lost their opening game Friday night to the University of South Dakota Coyotes, 110-32. .

Kathy Muhlhauser led MSC with nine points. Marie Martin and Mary Jp Hor­vat each had six-points. 0
