MSC prof wins Pulitzer Prize Rose Jackson News Editor

Denver Post reporter and MSC journalism professor Louis Kilzer, one of a five-member team, has won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service.

The Pulitzer was awarded Thursday to the Denver Post for a series of stories published from May through Novem­ber of 1985 that ". . . shattered the national myth that thousands of Amer­ican children are kidnapped and mur­dered by stangers every year.

"The series caused several missing­children' s organizations to revise their inflated estimates of kidnapping and harm and led to a congressional hearing on the issue and a national reassessment of the problem," according to the April 18 edition of the Post.

According to the Post, 24 people worked on the project, but Diana Griego, 26, and Kilzer, 35, did the lion's share of news gathering. Deputy Met­ropolitan Editor Charles R. Buxton Jr. was the supervising editor•on the project entitled "The truth about missing kids."

"Follow up reporting by Kilzer and (reporter) Norm Udevitz exposed a Denver fond-raising operation that was soliciting money on behalf of a missing-children organization but giving little of the money to the charity. Authorities eventually shut down the soliciting agency. Post City Editor Vikki

----~----~-

Porter supervised the project," the Post article stated.

Kilzer and Griego also won the George Polk Award for the series ear­lier this year. In a March 3 interview with The Metropolitan, Kilzer explained why they decided to pursue the story.

"Diana was on a routine assign-

ment-a feature about putting micro dots in kids' teeth so they could be IDed when stolen. It struck her that this solution was a bit much."

During that same interview, Kilzer said he went into journalism because " ... what else can one do with a philosophy degree?"

Kilzer graduated cum laude from

Yale University in 1973 with a bachelor of arts in Philosophy. For the next four years, he worked for the Triangle Review in Fort Collins, Colo. In 1977, he was hired by the Rocky Mountain News, and, in 1983, he went to the Post.

This is Kilzer's first semester at MSC. He teaches Introduction to Journalism.

Senate dumps general studies changes Robert Mook Reporter

A proposed amendment to revise MSC's general studies criteria was rejected - 24 to 22 - by the Faculty Senate last Thursday.

The general studies amendment would have created three basic levels of study. • "Freshman skills," which would require the student to complete six credit hours of freshman composition and three hours of mathematics within the first 30 hours of the student's enrollment. • "Exposure to disciplines," which would require the student to take three hours of history, and six hours of arts and letters, social sciences and natural sciences. These courses were to be completed within a student's first 60 credit hours. • "Critical analysis and synthesis,"

which was to be a three-hour "senior experience" that would vary depend­ing on the department of the student's major (i.e. an internship, or a seminar).

The proposal emphasized liberal arts courses more than the current general studies program, which allows the stu­dent to choose from a broad range of curricula. ·

Opinion in the Senate split over the senior experience requirement and a lack of basic computer and speech courses.

"Today's society requires computer competency," marketing professor Richard Leventhal said.

Earlier this month, the curriculum committee published a commentary that addressed some of the questions about the proposal.

According to the commentary, the curriculum committee was "not con­vinced that the general value of work

with computers matches that of work with language and mathematics -which, after all, are the tools of thought ... the computer serves only to intesify the powers of language and math­ematics."

The committee also eliminated a speech requirement because "Metro's Department of Speech is too small for the load that such a requirement would generate." The committee said it made a commitment to eventually require speech and a laboratory science course when it became feasible.

Ken Keller, of the curriculum com­mittee, said he was disappointed with the defeat, but he believed there would be some kind of general studies revi­sion within the next few years.

"Somewhere down the line the majority will agree on some kind of program," Keller said. D

• The vice president for Student Affairs, who receives the recommendations of the SAB, reviews them and presents them to the presi­dent of the college with his recommendation.

Student Fee Fact Sheet • Health insurance is funded by a separate fee and

1s required of all full-time students. Studies show that students who do not have access to a comprehensive campus health clinic pay two to three times more for health insurance. The additional cost for health insurance exceeds the fees paid per student to support a health cl inic.

Based on information gathered by the Student Fee Task Force in 1985-86.

Questions may be directed to ASMSC, the Student Affairs Board and the Student Fee Task Force. THE REFERENDUM ON STUDENT FEES WILL BE HELD IN THE STUDENT CENTER ·oN APRIL 30, MAY 1 and ·2. PLEASE VOTE!!

Last fall, President Magell1 appointed a college­wide task force to study student fees at Metropolitan State College. The task force conducted a nation­wide survey of 205 colleges to learn what other col­leges charge for student activity and athletic fees and what types of programs are funded. At the national level. student fees range from 92 cents per credit hour per semester to $562 per quarter with the average being approximately $110 per semester.

Information on student fees at other Colorado insti­tutions was gathered by the task force and is listed on the reverse side of this fact sheet. As you will see, the studenf fees at MSC are low in comparison, especially considering the variety of programming that has been maintained.

What Is Funded by Student Fees

• Campus Recreation, which offers a comprehen­sive leisure service including drop-in activities, leagues and tournaments. and club sports .

• Intercollegiate Athletics, which offers students the opportunity to participate either as competi­tors or as spectators and provides excellent public relations. Several men's and women's teams are consistently recognized nationally.

• Student Activities. which offers co-curricular programs including lectures. concerts, club support. and leadership development programs.

• Student Government (ASMSC). which provides leadership opportunities as officers and com­mittee members with input on issues such as student fees. club funding, legal services, and the student support loan program.

• The Student Health Clinic . which provides out­patient health care and treatment for illness, wellness and preventive medicine as well as promoting health education programs.

• Student publications including The Metropoli­tan. Metrosphere. and the Student Almanac.

• Teams and programs, including ·music activities, theater and drama, and forensics.

How Student Fees Are Allocated

• Students provide input through a referendum conducted by Student Government. Although the referendum is not binding. it is used as a guide by the Financial Affairs Committee of the Student Government as well as the Student Affairs Board.

• The president. who is responsible for the institu­tional budget. has the responsibility and author­ity to recommend student fee allocations to the college's ~oard of Trustees.

• The Board of Trustees, which receives the insti­tutional budget recommendations from Metro­politan State College as well as the three other state colleges in the Consortium, determines the budget for the Consortium.

• The Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) has been assigned statutory responsi­bility to establish tuition and fee policies based on institutional role and mission. The governing boards set tuition and fees consistent with these policies. A sub-committee of the CCHE has been assigned the task of reviewing tuition and fees at all Colorado colleges and will make recommendat ions to the CCHE that could affect MSC.

General Information on Student Fees

• State funds can not be used to pay for student fee programs.

• The last student fee increase was in 1981 . It increased the full-time fee to $28.25 and estab­lished the current graduated fee structure. It was intended to last three years. The current student fee for a full-time MSC student is $28.

• Increases for student programming have not kept up with the inflation rate over the past five years.

• The enrollment cap also affects the income from student fees. This reduces the amount of money available for programming while basic needs of part-time and full-time students remain the same.

• Student fee allocations were greater than income this year. An increase is necessary in order to maintain the current level of program­ming.

• Funds allocated to support MSC students to use the UCO Legal Services program ran out in February. Many needy students have been unserved.

• Student fee-funded programs are labor/service intensive.

• The Student Affairs Board (SAB) - which 1s composed of the Financial Affairs Committee of the Student Government, the Student Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate. a budget officer and a chair from Student Affairs - is resi;ions1ble for reviewing expenditures and working to provide services for students and promoting the college.

• In a recent survey of MSC alumni, the majority polled stated that they wished there were more student activities available on campus.

• The Commission on Intercollegiate Athlet ics has recommended a fee increase.

• The Student Affairs Board has recommended a fee increase.

• The Student Fee Task Force has recommended a fee increase.

Recommended Increases in Student Fees at Other Consortium Schools

• Western State College: raise between $19-$23, currently $85 per semester.

• Mesa College: raise $10 going from $120 to $1$0 per semester.

• Adams State College: raise between $10-$20, currently $130 per semester.

Where To Get More Information on Student Fees

• Information from the national survey is available in CN 316.

• Results of a marketing research study on the need for involvement in intercolleg iate sports at Metropolitan State College are available in CN 316

• Results of a business education and communi­cations research project on student fees are available in CN 316.

• The Metropolitan is including information on student fees in the April 16. 23 and 30 issues.

CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Group)

Gerhart: "It's a nice option." Perea: 'Tm not against CoPIRG, but I disagree with the funding system. The negative checkoff system nets 80 per­cent (of its funds), but the positive 5-10 percent. Wha~is that telling CoPIRG? The students?''

Health Clinic

Metro work affordably for all students. This should give a lesson to other groups on campus." Legal Services Gerhart: "It's a neat department." How:: "Students need to be aware that help can be offered. We have 14 peo­ple lined up now who need it." Perea: "With the legal system as it is now, several entities offer free legal advice, like Norton Frickey, for a per­centage (of the final outcome). Tlie school should not supply this option. We should utilize outside resources." Hypothetical: If voters were to reject the proposal to raise student fees and they were raised anyway, what would you do, as·student representative?

Gil Perea and Holly Longenecker

The Whig Party (Gerhart/How:) plat­form states it will pursue aggressively the enhancement and preservation of the MSC Student Health Clinic includ­ing the formation of a campus dis­pensary.

Gerhart and Houx said they vehe­mently oppose any intervention by AHEC into the clinic.

Gerhart: "I can't help it if ~agelli makes a decision. He's CEO (chief executive officer) of this place." Perea: "I would go to the Trustees and tell them how students feel and ask them to use their best judgment and respect student votes."

Rose Jackson News Editor

The spring bestows many gifts on the inhabitants of mother earth: rain, flowers, baby animals, hay fever and MSC student body president/vice president elections.

This year's crop yields the teams of Mark Gerhart/Gina Houx and Gil Perea/Holly Longenecker.

Gerhart, 23, a junior majoring in marketing, has not s~rved in student gevemment before.

Houx, 24, a senior majoring in recreation with an emphasis on thera- · peutics and a minor in special educa­tion, has served as a senator since December. She also serves as the club sports coordinator.

Perea, 25, a junior majoring in man­agement, is currently a student repre­sentative to the Auraria Board of Directors and a senator. He also· serves on the Student Facilities Policy Coun­cil.

Longenecker, 26, a sophomore majoring in marketing, has served on the Judicial Board for two semesters. Prior to the 1985-86 school year, she attended Mesa Colle~e in Grand Junc­tion.

The following are some of the issues the candidates discussed with The Metropolitan last week. The Met spoke with Gerhart and How: first, so they are listed first.

$12.50 Student Fee Increase

Gerhart: "Yes (I support the increase). A large majority of MSC students need something to back up their sheepskins (diplomas). We have reports of alumni not wanting to associate with the school, according to the Sundet and Cooper reports.

"We need to get something cooking down here . . . we want to give gradu­ates a firm ground to stand on-not a hole-in-the-wall school. The name recognition isn't what it should be."

Gerhart explained why he attended Metro if it's a no-name school.

"I had no idea what Metro was when I first came. (I stayed because) I'm receiving a very nice and very compe­tent education." Perea: "It (the increase) is too high. Two committees (the Student Fee Task Force and the Student Affairs Board) recommended $5-6 were necessary to maintain and enhance (student activi­ties and services). I felt comfortable with the SAB proposal. Intercollegiate Athletics Gerhart said he supports men's bas­ketball going Division II next year and Division I within five years.

"There's a lot more to education than.just teaching . . . it's (basketball) a part of the educational process," he said. Perea: "There is a possibility for (increasing) identity problems with Metro's role and mission, but it (bas-

28 29

Howe: "We don't want Metro to go to AHEC piece by piece." Perea: "I think it's a good idea for AHEC to take over the Health Clinic and run it like the PER Building. Now, UCD students pay $40 just to walk in, and CCD students pay $20 (CCD sub­sidizes its students). Metro students pay zero.

(Dick) Feuerborn (director of cam­pus recreation) has done a spectacular job in making an organization under

Final Words

Gerhart: "I like younger women - you can quote that - I am interested in women." Perea: "I believe in rocking the boat­that's how things get accomplished."

Branch declined to comment on the investigation, but said MSC officials are looking into Rourke's conduct.

OPINION April 23, 1986

Referendum could 'enhance value of degree' Dear Editor:

As president of the MSC Booster Club, I spend considerable time and effort in letting others know who, what and even where MSC is. My interest in your school began, however, approximately two years ago because of the possibility that top-notch college basketball could be brought to Denver.

It is no small secret that Metro has an identity crisis. It is also naive not to realize what a strong athletic program, intercollegiate as well as recreational, can do to bring students, faculty, alumni and even a community together. Ex~mples of the latter include, although on a much larger scale, the Broncos' success in Denver and our present efforts to replicate the success by attracting a major league baseball team to Denver.

1 Your student referendum addresses a much broader question than that simply

of the future of athletics. The athletic question, however, cannot be ignored for the reason that this may present a golden opportunity.

It is a fact of life that basketball and football are the two biggest revenue­producers in intercollegiate sports. The former, because of the smaller numbers involved, has the potential for realizing a tremendous return on investment with respect to time, manpower and dollars.

It is also my opinion that such an investment can actually enhance the value of

a degree from an institution in several respects: First, it provides greater name recognition for that degree. Next, it provides a diversity of experience and interest for all of those touched by the programs, whether directly of indirectly. Next, it can bring the School itself, together and create relationships that will exist long after graduation and formal courses have been completed. Finally, it can attract the attention of the general community which could be of considerable value, in every sense of the word, to that institution in the long-run.

I received a B.A. from Columbia, where I also played four years of intercollegiate basketball. I rank ·that experience as high as that of my taking undergraduate classes from Presidential advisors in political science and economics, literary persona such as Lionel Trilling, a Nobel Prize winner in physics or anthropoligist Margaret Mead.

Although Columbia had almost a two hundred year head start on Metro, Columbia still remains a "non-traditional" school in many respects. There is no reason why Metro need forsake its non-traditional status by moving forward in the community's perception. It just takes commitment, sweat and aspiration.

Very truly yours, Elwyn F. Schaefer

Cap, riot referendum, spells change at MSC Bob Smith

Did you think this referendum was about student fees? Are you confused by · all the talk about the changing nature of Metro?

How is raising student fees $12.50 going to affect the number of non­traditional students that attend? What's the connection? Is there any connection?

There is a connection, and it is the enrollment cap. Student fees will go up, because of the cap. Fewer older students will attend, because of the cap. The nature of MSC will change, because of the cap.

Before the cap, Metro was (mostly) growing. More students meant more student fee money without raising the rates. Metro hasn't raised student fee rates since 1981.

Now, with the cap, both the number of students and the amount of student fee money available are pretty well fixed. The programs, and their costs, aren't fixed. They keep on growing.

An increase is needed, just to fund the same programs we now have at their current levels. (Not $12.50 though; that's a growth figure.)

So the cap is a factor in raising student fees; how·is it keeping older students out of Metro?

With the cap, Metro is following a policy - dictated by money - that squeezes out the older students. If the school doesn't hit the cap, give or take a few, it loses state money.

The more high school seniors who enroll at Metro, preferably early, the easier it is for the administrators to hit the cap by turning away late-registering older students The more student activities we have the easier it is to recruit high schoolers.

That's how the cap connects student fees and non-traditional students: it creates an administration mind set that says raise student fees so we can have more activities so we can recruit more traditional students, so we can meet the cap and not lose any money.

So there's a connection. So what? Will our vote on student fees have any effect on anything?

Well, it won't have any effect on st~dent fee levels. Magelli is going to raise the fees, no matter how the vote comes out.

He's going to act like a leader. In this case, that means having such a clear vision of the future that you can ignore the te!llporary blur of protest raised by some present students. It also means having the power to implement your vision.

It's a lot easier to act like a leader by raising fees here on campus, than to act like a leader by getting the CCHE and the General Assembly to eliminate the cap.

Getting rid of the cap will be tough. It will mean reminding the people at the CCHE and the legislature that they said the caps were temporary tools, to be abandoned when admission standards were in place.

It will mean refreshing some very selective memories. It will take a real leader, with some good backing.

The last time I saw Magelli in a situation where some memories needed refreshing, he didn't impress me as a leader. In February, before the Senate Education Committee, he looked like someone who desperately wanted to be someplace else.

While Consortium President ·Laughlin played foil for some senators who needed to spew some bile, and while CCHE Executive Director Wilson straightened out the senators' memories, Magelli did his best to be the invisible man.

He sat next to Laughlin at the committee table, but he was as far away as he

could get. . He kept his legs crossed away from Laughlin, sat on the side of his chair and

used the committee table to support his clasped hands. He put as much physical distance as possible between himself and Laughlin, and let the abuse flow Laughlin's way.

The vein was throbbing in his forehead, but his short' answers were delivered softly. Not particularly forcefully, or tellingly - just softly, easy to ignore.

The only leadership in the whole room came from Wilson. Getting rid of the cap will be tough. It will take a real leader. I hope President

Magelli is such a man. I hope his vision includes a Metro without a cap, and I hope his leadership is broad and strong enough to realize his vision.

Do we need to raise student fees? Yes. DQ we need to get rid of the cap? Yes. I'm sure we'll do the first. I'd feel better about the second if I could see some

signs of real leadership. D

Frivolous solicitation for future fee increase Editor,

When a student fee budget proposal calls for expenditures that exceed the revenue, then it's time to question the disproportionate allocation of funding. A fiscally responsible administration would have yielded to the logic of a balanced student fee budget, in light of the enrollment cap's reduction of the revenue base. But since we have an administration that operates on the Machiavelian principle of budgeting_, this convenient deficit proposal will justify future ongoing fee increases. A blind endorsement of the $12.50 question would reinforce the frivolous solicitation for future fee increases.

Intercollegiate Athletic and Campus Recreation will collectively share nearly 40'1, of the entire 1986-87 budget. This accounts for the "Gloom and doom" appeals to support the increase in last week's edition of The Metropolitan. But before you vent your sympathies in the voting booth, keep in mind that all support services combined together only account for half of what athletic activities will receive .. Proponents for the fee increase are willing to exploit your sympathy by selling a combined fee increase package on the ballot.

Metro's athletic programs have been based on discriminatory budget recom­mendations by staff members who believe that male athletes could provide Metro with a more prestigious image. Competition for athletic appropriations

begins with an internal struggle among staff members to support preferred programs. This budget competition not only explains the absurdly high requests for athletic funding, but it also produces a group that is consistently deprived from an equal apportionment. If athletic instructors and staff directors have abided by the Title IV requirement for equal funding to begin with, fee alloca­tion requests for athletic activities would be at an acceptable level.

The administrative costs for athletics is also subject to review since the pro­posed budget plan doubles the allotment for salaries. I think it would be safe to assume that future recommendations for increases in this area will continue, despite the request for a 7'/, increase for next year. We should face the realization that administrative expenses can become the origin of an expensive growth industry at Metro.

It isn't just the athletic programs that need assessment before a realistic figure for a fee increase can be justified. Other areas deserve further scrutiny before the final approval for an equitable fee level can be established. Unfortunately, many students will be asked by pretentious means to support the referendum. A strong show of opposition to the fee increase will demonstrate competent fiscal restraint to the Trustees, and also to certain state legislators.

Kurt Woodard MSC Student -

Vote for athletics could de~tro.y apathy Editor,

I have beard enough said in support of Metro's non-traditional atmosphere. True, the college was founded with this principle in mind. It is time to grow and expand. A college that sits back on it s heels soon will find that it has missed the boat.

An outstanding athletic program can only benefit Metro, both in the school's image and in the students' personal lives. It is sad that the "college experience" is nowhere to be found at Metro. I agree with Brad Dunevitz who says that both

academic and'athletics can mix. Perhaps a healthy interest in both would destroy some of the apathy that envelopes this campus.

Even worse than apathy, is a negative attitude about programs which will enhance student involvement. Raising a hand for dropping athletics and extra­curricular activities is raising a hand for stagnation in the college.

Get involved and help Metro grow to its potential! Do M t ug on gomery MSC Student Athlete

1 O fingers, 10 toes eqUals too much ·c:Jo.ugh Scott Moore and Brad Dunevltz

Twenty bucks. Twenty lousy bucks. When us counts all our fingers and all our toes, the number us came up with

was twenty ... and that was on the fourth try. Us was too frustrated to coum again.

Despite us' troubles this is the same measley amount that students are being asked to fork over each year to support student activities, courtesy of the referendum.

Gosh, that's a whole bunch. Well, there goes that pack of Juicy Fruit gum us was gonna buy come

mid-October. It looks like Coors Light instead of Miller Lite for the N .B.A. playoffs. Us thinks that is ludicrously high. $19.63 sounds more reasonable. Or how about $18.27? Now us can buy mom's birthday card instead of

breaking out the crayons. Us sympathisizes with all you parents who will have to feed your children

Cheerios next month instead of Pac-Man cereal with the toy surprise. How are you ever going to break the news to your loved ones? It's breaking us' hearts.

Us has everything under control, though. Us thought this out to great detail. The answer: Referendum II.

A referendum to put another referendum on the referendum is the only

answer. Ack. The Attack of the Killer Referendums. Didn't us see that movie once? Or was that Nightmare on Referendum Street? But us are rational thinkers. Us looks at all sides of the picture. Problem is, the

picture is round. Does that sound narrow-minded? Before you answer, you have to remember

that us are two cultural kind-a-guys. Just last week us attended the annual MSC nude tractor pulls on Monday; a Woody Paige writing seminar on Tuesday; was caught wearing jeans to school on Wednesday; took Thursday off to watch Gilligan's Island reruns; and made a cameo at the Rodney Dangerfield: How to Get Respect seminar - but was kicked out - on Friday.

Wow, what a week. Where else can you get this kind of culture? Us thinks you anti-referendites should think twice about the matter at hand

and spend a week with us. And become culturized. All for 20 bucks a year. That's $10 per semester; almost 40 cents per week; close

to six pennies a day. And that includes the health clinic, student government, the child care center,

athletics, campus recreation, legal services, the music center, the lecture series, all clubs, all recreational activities, everything we failed to mention and, of course, the Metropolitan.

Us knows· how much that would pain you all to not be able to see us' names in bold print each week. But don't cry too hard. That pack of Kleenex will cost you $1.21.

Without tax. D

Now is our chance to speak with our vote Fellow Students,

We, as students, will be voting on several issues in this year's AS MSC Elections. Issues that pertain to our student fees. We will also vote on the CoPIRG issue, along with who we will choose as our Student Government representatives for next year.

I am running for your Student Government President, along with Holly Longenecker as my Vice-President. We feel that we can truly represent the students at Metropolitan State College. My experience on the Aurarja campus has given me a great deal of insight on how to adequately represent the students.

I am your representative on the Auraria Board of Directors, representing all students on this campus. I have learned to take a stand when it comes to student concerns, and have represented students on other committees. These committees deal specifically with parking, clubs and organizations telecommunications, among others. . As a Senator on the ASMSC, I believe in a student voice, and the respect that should be given to that voice.

As a student, I have to address some of the issues and concerns that have been raised. First of all, I disagree with the manner that all of this controversy of student fees has come about. I do, however, have to respect Dr. Magelli for wanting to hear from the students. Many other institutions would not give that opportunity to their students. I applaud you for your consideration, Dr. Magelli.

I do support a student fee increase, however, I do have problems with the $12.50 that is being proposed. The increase in student fees will allow the current programs to be funded; at what level of funding I am not sure. The Student Affairs Board will make those decisions.

The Student Affairs Board consists of students and faculty; "they are the body that recommends allocations for all of our student fees." These recommendations

are reviewed and distributed to the Administration of the College. The administration then recommends to the Board of Trustees for final approval.

With respect to CoPIRG, I don't agree with the fonding mechanisms that they have proposed. I support their efforts and existence, but I strongly believe that the support they claim to have, can be accomplished by a positive check-off system, as opposed to a negative one.

Students should be allowed to indicate whether they want to give donations, not if they don't want to.

With respect to athletics, I have been quoted as being against them. Wrong. I support athletics, I feel that they are important to every student: To what degree of importance should be left to the discretion of the student.

The opportunity has been given to us, as students, to have a say in these issues. Now is our chance to speak with our vote. These are important, crucial questions that will help all the decision-making entities address what truly interests the students. I encourage you to speak up and take your stand.

I, being a student advocate and representative, am depending on your voice. If I am elected as your President, your vote will and should bind me to give us students the best representation to all involved. A vote for me and Holly is a vote for you, the student.

I have had dealings with the governing bodies that oversee our higher education system: The State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education, the Board of Trustees for Consortium State Colleges, the Auraria Board of Directors and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

My representation for students has been recognized as being quite effective. Vote in a new direction. Vote Gil for President and Holly for Vice-President.

Respectfully, Gil Perea Jr.

Candidate for ASMSC President

Editor, Bias and bull-seen at The Metropolitan

In the words of editor Robert Davis, The Metropolitan is going to come down on all sides of the student fee referendum question, giving different views on the important'issues. I assumed this meant the paper would not take a stand.

But as I've taught my students in J oumalism 181, words a reporter choses to use tend to show his/her bias. And a headline can give a reader a pre-conceived notion of a story that colors the way the reader interprets the facts.

Throughout the April 16th issue of The Metropolitan I felt a definite anti­administration slant. Maybe it's just an attempt at muckraking, but I had to wonder. Maybe The Metropolitan was trying to avoid accusations of bias, since it stands to gain from the referendum.

Several times, in different articles, President Paul Magelli is referred to. But I felt we never really got his side of the issue. I'd like to hear it, in his words, in a one-on-one interview, as was done with some of the others quoted for stories.

Which brings me to professor Harry Temmer. Granted, this man probably should have been interviewed, since as he put it, "I created the athletic program." He admits to being biased, but did The Metropolitan try to determine why?

Another rule of journalism; beware of people with a grudge who attempt to hurt others. If you use them in your story, at least tell us why he is so resentful. ·

And finally. Was the use of the word bull - in page 5's headline really necessary? For students hoping for jobs in the real world some day, I have to wonder what you learned at Metro. Were you trying to make a point? Capture the readers attention with shock value? Maybe your time would be better spent checking other headlines for currect usage of the English language. I refer to page 3, COMPLEX QUESTIONS-HERE'S THE FACTS. I believe the contrac­tion's stands for "is". I don't think HERE IS THE FACTS is a headline I would want in a sample of work for a prospective employer.

Least I be accused of bias, let me mention that I am married to Metro's Basketball coach. I want to see the basketball program get off the ground and help Metro make a name for itself. But as a professional journalist I'd also like to be proud of the students that graduate from this unique institution. Right now I'm a little worried about The Metropolitan staff, despite your recent award­winning efforts.

Cynthia Klose Hull

We know it when· we see it Robert Davis

Mrs. Hull, I couldn't agree with you more. Fo.r weeks we tried to get a straight answer

from the president. As for the one-on-one interview, Magelli said he learned more from the editor who interviewed him than he had "in weeks."

Maybe that's why we could never get his side. If the president has a side he refuses to share it with the us. But that's not new.

It's not that the president won't share his views but that those views change so quickly.

They seem to change from meeting to meeting and group to group. Which brings me to Professor Temmer. We remember the rules we were

taught in Jmµnalism 181 but many of us went on to a class called Journalism Ethics. ·

It's a new class taught by a masterful journalist who tries to interject some compassion into this business.

Since you brought it up, yes Mr. Temmer was asked to resign from his coaching position. But since Mr. Temmer openly admitted his bias I didn't feel we needed to open old wounds in an article that used him as a historical observer. We wanted a voice as loud and as educated about the athletics program as your husband to help put this in historical perspective.

I think there are still openings in the ethics class if you have time this summer. And the use of the word bullshit in page 5's headline. Yes, our favorite thing to do is look stupid because of headlines mistakes. We

appologize to God and evervone.

But we've taken on some headline writing rules from other people in the journalism department (yes there are others who teach in the department. People who work for some of the papers around town etc.) We've always understood headlines to be conversational and casual. But maybe you could come by on Tuesday afternoon and help us with the headlines. You could catch all those nasty words that the people in the athletics department don't like and make sure we meet Journalism 181 standards.

But the use of The Word- bullshit, it's OK to say it, we've all heard it around the classroom - was a staff decision.

A decision made by people who marched knee deep in the bullshit for a week and at times became ill at the sight of it.

In the discussion we agreed that we weren't experts but we had seen it up close. Close enough to accurately give it a descriptive name. You're right, I'm not going to put the headline on the top of my stack and claim to be an award­winning headline writer. And I may have gotten the foul language out of the headline part of my brain, but the fact remains - it was bullshit.

Yes the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association judges may choke if they see The Word in our paper, but those who stepped in it last week have stopped us to agree with it. Ask the coach, he's heard it.

As for your worries about the staff here, you worry about your students getting a job and we1l take care of ourselves. We were taught a long time ago - back around J oumalism 181 or so - to be tough but ethical and to be serious or get out.

Let's meet at a basketball game in a few years and compare notes on who's successful and who ain't. o

OPINION CoPIRG: Committee highlights past achievements

Editor, In the past few years students have successfully worked through CoPIRG on a

range of issues important to students and to Colorado. CoPIRG was victorious in 1984 in passing the Motor Voter referendum, allowing many more people to participate in the democratic process. In 1985, the organization passed the Colorado State Superfund, the first major effort to clean up our worst toxic waste sites. Over the past few years, CoPIRG has also been effective on projects in the areas of consumer protection, hunger, public health, tenant rights, and higher education.

On other campuses, CoPIRG has also informed and saved students' money through guides and surveys on bicycles, eyewear, apartments, energy conserva­tion, small claims court, banks, local elections, and consumer complaints.

As a statewide student directed organization, CoPIRG is run by a board of directors composed of student representatives elected by students at campuses with CoPIRG chapters. This board is responsible for deci~ng all statewide issue priorities for CoPIRG, setting CoPIRG's yearly budget, hiring staff, and other organizational matters.

A CoPIRG chapter here at Metro would also be represented by a local board of directors. This local board would decide on all local projects for the chapter, would help to coordinate outreach and recruitment activities, and act.as official campus representatives for the chapter.

CoPIRG chapters are funded through a waivable student fee. This funding system has been proven to be effective at maintaining a major program on the campus. Moreover, the proposed CoPIRG fee is without a doubt the fairest student fee on campus. Unlike many other student fees, the CoPIRG fee would only be implemented if students voted in favor of it. Referenda would also be held on a regular basis to reaffirm student support. If CoPIRG lost any of these future referenda, it would cease to be funded on campus. Of course, even after a majority of students vote to fund CoPIRG, any student has the option to waive the fee. The majority decides, but the individual student always has a choice.

A college education sqould be more than just job training. It should offer training and opportunities for becoming active citizens in a democratic society. Many students complain about the apathy they find here on campus. CoPIRG gives us the opportunity to stop complaining about apathy and to start doing something about it. Students here at Metro have relatively few opportunities to create effective new programs. In the elections at the end of this month, each of us will have a chance to do something worthwhile for ourselves, for our college, and for Colorado. Vote Yes for CoPIRG, and let's make the most of it!

Sincerely, The Members of the MSC CoPIBG

Organizing Committee

CoPIRG chair advocates ·actio~ to bring about change Editor,

Change begins with an idea. The idea moves people to action. And actions brings about change.

CoPIRG, the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, began as the idea of students working together on public interest issues. Students at UNC and CSU CoPIRG chapters now act on the idea that we can effect change. And we have brought about change.

On April 30, May 1, and May 2, Metro students will decide whether to fund a CoPIRG chapter and become involved in initiating and directing the course of change in Colorado. As the Chair of CoPIRG's state board of directors, and a CSU student actively involved in CoPIRG, I urge you to vote yes and share in the benefits and power that a chapter will bring to the Metro campus.

CoPIRG has been an effective public interest group in Colorado for years. For instance, clean up of toxic waste began as an idea, and CoPIRG acted on all levels to bring about Change. We began in the campuses with detailed and in-depth research, grass roots organizing and student awareness. Then we worked to convince state legislators to do something about the problem. Now Colorado has a state superfund that provides money for cleanup of our worst toxic waste dumps.

Other issues that CoPIRG has been effective on include helping to pass an initiative to make voter registration easier in this state, helping to pass the new car lemon law and working to establish the Office of Consumer Counsel to keep down utility rates.

Like the toxic waste problem, success on these issues grew from the power of pooling resources, ideas and skills to take on public interest issues and win.

On the campus level CoPIRG benefits students in many ways. We have sponsored forums on issues of local concern like higher education funding, hazardous materials transportation, and the hunger problem. Also, CoPIRG has provided services and publications to benefit both students and communities. These include a consumer and tenate hotline; knowledge and materials to weatherize homes; an information bike day; a banking survey; a long distance phone survey; and consumer guides on buying eyewear, buying auto insurance,

and understanding the small claims court system. Successful work on public interest issues and the benefits students and

communities receive alone make CoPIRG a worthwhile and meaningful addi­tion to any campus. But the beauty of CoPIRG lies in the empowerment of students. Students working together as citizens for social change - that is what CoPIRG is all about.

The success of any project CoPIRG works on stems from the energy, direction, and ideals of student members working with a small staff of professionals. Students can become involved with CoPIRG and put classroom skills to work in the real world through internships, independent study or volunteer work.

But can we really make a difference? Sometimes the democratic process seems to be a game. Citizens feel alienated

from politics and that alienation leads to cynicism which breeds inaction which then allows the political process to become a game for politicians only. To stop the vicious cycle, we can become involved and begin to change things. Slowly. Working within the system.

By deciding to fund CoPIRG, Metro students will gain the service benefits a· chapter provides as well as become a part of the means to effect change in Colorado. Funding would come from a three dollar increase in student fees which would be waivable at registration.

CoPIRG is not a student club. It works for all students on many different levels. Some will take advantage of the consumer guides and services the chapter provides. Others will become involved in producing those guides and providing the services. Still others will become leaders in CoPIRG, representing Metro students and shaping the future of the chapter and the statewide organization.

Change beings with an idea. The idea: CoPIRG. The idea moves people to action. The action: vote yes on the CoPIRG referendum question. And the action brings about change. The change: a CoPIRG chapter at 'Metro.

Joan Harris CoPIRG State Board Chair

and student at Colorado State

~ormer CSU student supports an MSC Co Pl RG chapter Editor,

I would like to make a few comments concerning the article.about CoPIRG in the April 9 issue of The Metropolitan.

I feel that CoPIRG is a very worthwhile student organization. A few years ago, I was a student at CSU in Ft. Collins, and CoPIRG had a very active chapter on campus. I found much of their work useful as an individual. I specifically found the CoPIRG renter's guide to Ft. Collins helpful. Ft. Collins had virtually no tenant protection laws at the time, and CoPIRG also was instrumental in passing a city housing code for tenant protection. At another time, I used a guide that they published about the court system when I was involved in a traffic accident.

From what I've seen at CSU, CoPIRG offers a stable, continuing and effective orgapization which provides useful services to all students and allows students a chance to g~ involved in important issues that affect all of us.

It is interesting to note that while I was at CSU, funding of the campus

CoPIRG chapter was attacked by the radical fringe of the College Republicans, who were heavily funded by outside (non-student) interests. However, the CSU students recognized the real issues and continued to support CoPIRG in education.

As a full time Metro student, I pay $28 bucks (non-waivable) a semester in student fees, and God knows where it goes. A $3 waivable fee for a group that does an much as CoPIRG is a bargain. I hardly think CoPIRG is "wholly repugnant to the dignity of this institution," as Ms. Sinel claims in the article. I hope that Metro students will see through Ms. Sinel's propaganda and vote to start an MSC CoPIRG chapter in the elections at the end of the month.

Sincerely, Rob Dickerson

MetroStyle -, ···sculpted 1el!ulch1e

an ''t1ul haunt

Lise Geurklnk Art Director '

While strolling past the display cases in a hallway of the Arts build­ing, the first thing you notice is the sound of dripping water, or it might be the blips and bleeps of satellite transm)ssions. Curiosity aroused, you search for the source of these weird noises. On coming closer, incoherent mutterings and whisperings can also be heard.

Around a comer there is sign on the wall that says, "ENTER," and an arrow pointing into a room. On th«! door opposite, another sign on brown butcher paper says, "PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ALTER THE FLOOR!". This sign leads your eyes down to a brown paper pathway which guides you into a dimly lit, debris-strewn "experience."

There is the feeling of having walked in on a seance. Simply carved "people" sculptures wrought from logs have been placed around the perimeter of the room, against a backdrop of white sheets lit from " below by tinted floodlights. Hanging and standing grey slabs are decorate( with bits of colored wire, bolted-on cutouts of plexiglass, and textured with something that resembles wood chips. Rocks of various sizes and shapes line the sides of the room; their positions seem to change from one hour to the next.

And there's this stuff all over the floor. There is the impression that someone has dumped a

. ... _

....

- _r. I

wheelbarrow-full of shavings from the woodshop next door. On closer inspection you can find triangular pieces of plexiglass and pennies mixed in with the wood shavings. You get an urge to mess it around with your foot, like kicking up fall leaves. The sign on the door says it's okay.

For the week of April 14-18, Jen­nifer Ruskey-Morgan presented an installation piece called "Memorial Vault" in Art Rm 199, which nor­mally houses the MSC Student Art Club and their belongings. Ruskey­Morgan, and MSC sculpture major, has combined work from her sculp­ture class and her Sound/Image class to assemble what she calls an Audio/ Sculpture Experience.

The piece represents a modern-day tomb, peopled by "ancient guardian figures."

On a tour through her enclave, Ruskey-Morgan reflects, "I wanted to say something about the process of dying ... the preservation of history in art objects."

Ruskey-Morgan has successfully mer~ed elements of past and present in the use of her media" ... to over­lap old and new, to have the piece be a little bit about time."

She carved the guardian figure from the branches of a decaying apple tree her brother had cut down.

The grey-painted panels of ply­wood, with their colored-wire "cracks" and plastic "crumbling rocks," suggest the surrounding walls of a long-forgotten crypt. Ruskey­Morgan and five classmates from the Sound/Image course recorded the soundtrack, with the help of studio technicians in the library's media cen­ter. The satellite bleeps re-iterate the modernistic element, blending well with the murmuring, echoing voices and dripping water to give that truly eerie sensation you'd feel if you were

tip-toeing around in someone's burial tomb. Most of the script, Ruskey­Morgan explained, was made up of total gibberish, and a split-second delay was used to create the echo effect. Three actual words -"dying," "alive" and "time" - are so well mingled with the rest of that their effect is gently subliminal, hint­ing that death, life, and history are all taking place at once, in this room.

When asked about the stuff spread on the floor, and why there was an invitation to make alterations to it, Ruskey-Morgan explained, "At first no one was coming in ... they'd just stand outside the door and look in. I wanted some sort of physical interac­tion .. .I brought the rocks in and put the sign up, to entice people into the place." · Visitors seemed to enjoy the

opportunity to interact. As one observer/participant·put it (while constructing a procession of plastic bits along a rock), "I don't know much about art, but I do know what's neatol'' The guardians watched as he played, whispering their thoughts to each other.

Ruskey-Morgan is grateful for the opportunity to use this room for her installation. She had to work hard to get it, then she had to move all of the Art Club stuff out to make space for her work. 'T d like to see a room like this set aside for seniors every semes­ter, to give them the chance to have their own show,. if they want." Although the campus already has the use of Emmanuel Gallery for MSC and UCD student exhibits, "being able to set up your own show, by yourself, gives you a taste of what it's like, of what goes into it."

I wish I could say Federico Fellini's "Ginger and Fred" was the most titil­lating love story I've ever seen, and that Fellini has made nothing short of an astounding reproduction of the enter­tainment world as it once was, but, I can't.

I even wish I could say, Giulietta Masina (Amilia, aka Ginger) and Mar­cello Mastroianni (Pippo, aka Fred) made me long for the good old days, or that their performanances made me tremble with excitement, but, I can't.

Nevertheless, what I can and will say does little to support Fellini's image as a master satirist.

Though his mockery of "the world of television" can be detected, the way in which he chose to display his ridi­cule is weak and unconvincing.

He ineffectively tried to arouse sen­timent through a potpourri of vulgar comedy, nostalgia and weak fantasy and romance.

The story begins with Amelia arriv­ing in Rome to re-enact the famous moments of her performance with Pippo.

The famous duo had delighted music hall audiences in the years following WWII with their reverant dramatiza­tion of the world's most beloved dance team, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Thirty years had passed since their last performance and since they'd last seen each other, when they were reunited for a special Christmas broadcast on a variety show.

Attempting to blend a touching story of lost love with a visually stunning satire of contemporary video broad­casting, "Ginger aJld Fred" is supposed to be both bittersweet and biting.

But, without a doubt the biting out­weighed the bittersweet .

During the broadcasting Amelia and Pippo realize the truth of trying to recapture the glory of past performan­ces and the magic of lost love. This was the one and only sensitive moment of the whole story.

The script was further weakened by the gaudy group of absurd characters also recruited to perform on the Christmas special.

The loction didn't help to procure my interest at all. The setting was sup­posed to be an urban section of Rome, but could have easily competed with the slums of any city.

After the first half hour, I could care less whether Amelia and Pippo ever recaptured anYthing, and had to force myself to continue reading the captions.

To put it frankly, thefihn was such a fiasco not even another glimpse of the great Mastroianni could compensate for it. o

Catch a bite to eat in a bit of history on the inall ParrunountCafe

brings life • to old theatre

-·

•

Nikki Jackson Reporter

I liked going to the Paramount Theatre when I was a child. I remember the ornate walls, the popcorn with real butter behind the concession stand and, of course, the big pipe organ.

· When I heard the Paramount was clos­ing its lobby to theatre-goers and was to open again as a restalirant - my heart sank. I rushed down to see the final show and to say good-bye to the beautiful theatre.

The Paramount Cafe has resurrected the old lob by, giving it life and vibrancy again. On any given lunch hour you can expect to wait for a table - as the elegant diner is thick with Denver's up­and-coming adults. But not to worry, for there's a lot to look at.

The original gold and silver gilt on the walls engulfs the 270 people that the restaurant seats at its bar, patio and main dining room. Old movie stills almost completely cover the walls and the floor is still the timetess terrazzo. The deco bar sits in the center of the mayhem, where the old concession stand was. A jukebox bellows today's tunes while patrons drink white wine out· of miniature coke glasses and munch on burgers., pizza, chicken sandwiches, salads and tex-mex food.

I had a chicken sandwich called the "Boulderado." It was grilled, served on a bun and dripping in mayonnaise, let­tuce and tomatoes ($3.95). The sand­wich is simple and in spite of the soggy

The Paramount Cale

bun I enjoyed it. My friend had the chicken and cheese enchiladas ($3.95), which she said were very good though too cheesy and mild for her taste. We shared a huge basket of thinly sliced, slightly greasy onion rings ($1.95). They are served with a side of delicious secret sauce. .

For those with a sweet tooth, the Paramount Cafe offers milkshakes, sopapillas, ice-cream sundaes and pies.

So the next.time you're looking for a place with a lively atmosphere to have a drink or a bite for a minimal price, kick back at the Paramount Cafe.

The Paramount Cafe is open Mon­day through Saturday. Serving contin­uously from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and tal 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. 511 Sixteenth Street. 893-2000. D

of government death squads. Children are burned, blown up and crippled.

Director Oliver Stone wages cinematic warfare in telling the story of fellow screenwriter and war journ­alist Richard Boyle (played by James Woods).

Boyle is washed up - a burned-out drunken journalist who is evicted from his San Fransisco apartment and who cannot find work. His reputation was lost long ago.

Boyle is thrown in jail and bailed out by unwilling friend and unemployed disc jockey Dr. Rock (Jim Belushi). The two set off in Boyle's mustang for Central America, giving Belushi ample space for his "gonzo-acting." He guzzles tequila, pops pills, puffs joints, spouts profanity and makes us laugh.

Casting Belushi as the politically · ignorant Dr. Rock gives the film its important balance, allows the film to explore both sides of the messy issue. Wisely, the film does not delineate between the right wing government and the leftist guerillas. These are only two separate sides of the messy political, issue. For "Salvador,'' the focus is on both sides of the real issue - the international power political para­military pawns, and everyone else.

Belushi, and Boyle's Salvadoran girl­friend Maria (Elepedia Carrillo) skill­fully portray everyone else. They are those commoners, ignorant or sincere or vulgar who suffer from the political destruction in the Americas.

The film fs not without a political point of view. Boyle is hated by the U.S. backed government of El Sal­vador. His Vietnam era support of Pol Pot has made him unpopular with the gringo military brass as well. Though his sympathies lie,with the Salvadoran rebels, he screams at them as they mercilessly execute prisoners. We see their darker side as well.

The point is that war is hell, no matter which side you're on.

This attitude gives extra impetus to John Savage's excellent portrayal of John Cassady, a respected and veteran photo-journalist. Cassady is in El Sal­vador looking for that one shot - that one photograph that will document the human suffering. "You got to get close to see the truth," he says. "You get too close and you die."

"Salvador" is a blockbuster of war footage and human destruction. It is at times overly didactic, but succeeds in forging a compelling blend of mal­icious political power and real life human suffering. One leaves the film with questions: about U.S. foreign policy, about the validity of arguments concerning communists and capatilists awid the plethora of starving children, anCl about the position of individual integrity amid the insanity of inter­national intrigue.

"Salvador" opens April 25 at the Tivoli 12. o

SPORTS An athletic look back at 1985-86 says,

Supremacy in the making, despite wishes Scott Moore Sports Editor

Sports in trouble at Metro State? Not even close. Sorry wishful thinkers.

The "lucky" people at MSC will be witnessing a rebirth of athletics on campus, one that's in the making.

H you didn't catch it (the supremacy of athletics), it's because it whizzed by your eyes and you missed it. But you'll have another chance next year and if you want, I'll even lend you my glasses so you don't miss it.

• • • Women's VoJleybaU. The volley­

ballers, led by seniors Donna Baros, Cathy Guiles, Sue Hays and Teri Mohr sparked the nationally ranked Road­runners to a 30-16 record.

Trouble could be brewing with their departure, but Coach Pat Johnson usually comes up with new pieces to the puzzle. One of those pieces -sophomore-to-be Corrine DonnaJly -will spearhead MSC's new attack, if there is one.

Women's Soccer. The Tpnja Ridge­way-led women kickers sported a 13-5-1 record, an all-American (Ridgeway) and a berth in the NAIA National Tournament. So what does Coach Ed Montojo do for an encore?

To start, be bas everyone back except senior Char Lefholz. The teams' top 12 scorers will be back to make sure Metro reigns once again. Word has it too that Montojo has a few more Ridgeway-like-players close to com­mitting to Metro.

MSC for national champs! Men's Soccer. Despite an unimpres­

sive 8-6-1 record, the men izot their be11

rung and wound up winning the NAIA .District7 title and traveled to Texas for the Area Three Tournament.

Just who is this MSC? More to come . .. because Coach BiU

Chambers loses only two players in seniors Mike Politano and Dan Lom­bard. Chambers must be smiling· from ear-to-ear.

He has Greg Sumlin, Glen Best and ·Mitch Gorsevski returning as bis top three scorers. Now all he needs is a little luck like he had this year.

Men's Basketball. The famous Bob Hull to Paul Magelli combination strikes again. With plans of a possible move to Division I after a 'brief" stay in Division II, the whole thing is start­ing to remind me of DePaul, St. J obns, Marquette, etc. But if you don't want recognition .. .

But wait before you stop reading. You can't stop the inevitable from happening. Nah, Nah. Continue.

The team does lose Ambrose Slaugh­ter, Kevin TrujiUo, Craig Hyman and Steve Crigler, who "will be trading their talents for degrees," but look what's in store for you. _ '

Last year's leading scorer Herb Darden is back from injury, Curt Robinson from California and Thomas Murphy from Hull's doghouse. Add Rich Grosz and a handful of goodies and you have the next year's Great Northwest Conference champions.

Referendum pending. Women's Basketball. Cindy Guthals,

the "coach who cares," spent her first year at MSC establishing a dynasty for women's basketball (cough, cough). With an 8-19 record I could be lying, but wait 'till next year.

. 2-sport star rises above the heat of athletics Rob Ritter Reporter

Steve Nash, like most other students at Metro State College, wants a good education and a degree.

Oh, yeah, he's also a great tennis player and a good enough basketball player to walk on and make the MSC men's team.

But when asked to talk about his athletic accomplishments at Metro, Nash invariably returns to discussing his goals to become a better student and eventually a graduate.

His accomplishments, though, can't be overlooked.

Nash is the number one singles player on the tennis team and through last weekend had a 14-3 record.

And last October, he tried out for the basketball team and was one of three walk-ons to make the cut.

Nash didn't stop there. As a walk-on, he was ineligible to play during the first third of the season. But after becoming eligible, Nash played in 13 games and started two.

Basketball Coach Bob Hull said for a walk-on to play as much as Nash did is unusual and to start is amazing.

Hull was impressed by Nash's athletic talent and also by his intelligence.

"Steve is such~ good athlete, I could

tell he'd be an excellent defensive player," Hull said. "I was impressed by his knowledge of the game and his intelligence."

Nash averaged three rebounds and 4. 7 points, per game for the season.

John Arntz, the men's tennis coach: was impressed in the · same way as Hull.

"Steve is a very strong player. He's also very controlled when he plays. He's a very quiet, soft-spoken person," Arntz said.

Nash grew up in Denver's Park Hill area.

He says he's been playing basketball all his life and tennis since he was 13.

He attended George Washington High and was a member of the basket­ball team that won the state champion­ship in 1982, his senior year.

He began college at the University of Northern Colorado where he played varsity tennis for two seasons. He was the first freshman and black to make the varsity team at UNC.

Nash transferred to Metro after some problems arose at UNC.

"At UNC, problems arose_ where they didn't necessarily want ~o accept me," Nash said.

The situation is different at Metro State.

"I like Metro. It's right in the heart of downtown Denver and it's a growing

institution," he said. "And I've been accepted."

Nash grew up in a family that not only stressed athletics but also educa­tion and he says he's lucky in that regard.

'Tm fortunate to have a family that senses the value of an education. I've had role models in front of me all my life," he said.

"My educational desires stem from

my parents," Nash said. "My mother is quite intelligent. She was able to accomplish such a strong education so I feel I should too."

About playing tennis and basketball in college, Nash said, "When you're in college, you should make the most of your opportunities. When I saw the chance to walk on the basketball team, I couldn't pass it up.

"As for tennis, there's a certain men-

tal capacity to playing it. Tennis teaches you a lot about yourself and that is why I enjoy it."

Arntz describes Nash as a solid player with a powerful first serve.

"Steve has a very refined game," Arntz said. "He's more comfortable with his game than a lot of players."

And both Hull and Arntz believe that the sports Nash combines com­plement one another perfectly.

"Both sports require quickness, and the footwork and leg conditioning in tennis helps Steve in basketball," Hull said.

For now, Nash enjoys being able to play both sports on the college level. And he also realizes that these sports afford him the opportunity to get an education and to compete.

"I realize the value of an education. And playing tennis and basketball is a great opportunity and learning exper­ience," Nash said. "You learn a lot of things in sports that are applicable to real life."

But he says he's never satisfied unless he's trying his best.

"No way am I content with my pre­sent situation," Nash said. 'Tm always striving for more. If I ever fail at any­thing, I'll fail trying."

With an attitude like that, Steve Nash should find that getting a degree is one of the least of his worries. D

Sloppy Roadrunners get caught in Kansas tornado Joseph Ross · Reporter

The MSC baseball team continued to hit well during its five-game road trip in Hays, Kansas, but returned with only two wins in five games.

"I can't exactly put a finger on why," Coach Bill Helman said. "But our pitching and defense was sloppy." .

The Roadrunners beat Fort Hays College 14-5 in Friday's opener as John Wilkinson, Metro's leading pitcher, went the distance and im­proved his record to 6-2. Pitcher-first baseman Ronn Wells tallied his eighth home run this year during Metro's sev­enth inning, 10-run barrage.

But in the second game Fort Hays, ranked 15th nationally in NAIA, came back for a 12-7 victory despite a strong outing by Metro's Ty Rollins. He allowed only one run in three innings before being replaced by Wells during · the fourth. It proved to be the pivotal inning as Fort Hays pounded oµt seven runs.

Five errors prevented Metro from a comeback victory as Fort Hays added two runs in each of the sixth and sev­enth innings.

Saturday the Roadrunners split a double-header with Marymount College.

"Marymount is a weak team but we let them beat us," Helman said about

the 10-3 opening loss. The error-prone Roadrunners com­

mitted four mistakes behind losing pitcher Randy Maiden. Helman said Malden is in a slump but expects him to come out of it before district playoffs begin.

Reserve pitcher Steve Ciberay started the second game because of a back injury suffered by Jay Estrada.

"Ciberay pitched real well," Hel­man said. "He kept the ball low which

resulted in a lot of easy grounders." Metro played an error-free game,

giving lip only a two-run homerun in the fourth inning. The game was called after five innings because of the 10-nm rule. ·

"Todd Vaughn continued his 'King Kong' hitting," Helman said of Vaughn's three-run blast in the third inning.

Vaughn is currently MSC's all-time home run leader with 13, while Craig

A Piece A Pizza Aplenty When you need to appease a pizza appetite, how many pieces a pizza are appropriate?

It depends on the portion proportions of the pizza.

If it's Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza­thick, crunchy, chewy, cheesy, saucy Pan Style P~zza-a piece a person, in other words, a piece apiece is probably appropriate.

That's why Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza is available by the slice: That satisfying sizeable (1 /2 lb.) single serving size.

Whether you come call at our counter or drive through our Orive­Thru, The Slice is unfailingly fresh, fast and filling; a luscious , lighteninglike lunch; always available almost instantly.

So, when you need to appease a pizza appetite, appease it appropriately.

With a Slice of Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza.

Bonato trails with 11. Metro faced Fort Hays again Sun­

day, losing 11-10. Helman said David Snow pitched a fine game but two errors and two misjudged fly balls hurt MSC late in the game.

Snow was replaced by Rick Gomez in the third inning, but two walks, two steals, and a wild pitch marred his performance.

The road trip dropped the Road­runner's record to 19-15 for the year.

A piece a pizza appealingly and appropriately proportioned so that a piece a pizza apiece is pizza aplenty. April 28 & 29, 1986
