Metro student assaulted on campus 1 By Lucy Stolzenburg

An 18-year-old Metro student was sexually assaulted on the evening of Nov. 17 in the area between the tennis courts.and the playing field just north-

. west of the Tivoli. _,_ According to Lolly Ferguson of

Public Safety, the woman was walking to her car, which was parked on Wazee Street, at about 7 :00 p.m. when a man walked up behind her. He grabbed her in a bear hug, put a knife to her face,

l(and tried to provoke her into a fight. He then threw her to the ground and pulled down her clothing. At that point,

. :

the student blacked out. Public Safety has no concrete leads

in the case, but is working closely with the Denver Police Department.

The results of a lab test indicating whether or not the victim was raped are being withheld because Public Safety considers the test results key evidence. But officials are treating the case as a first degree sexual assault, which is rape involving physical force to make the victim submit.

"This is the most serious crime we've had reported on campus this year," Ferguson said. "We're actively looking

for leads. We've contacted over 100 people so far."

The suspect is described as a black male in his early 20s, about six feet tall, with a medium build. Anyone in the area at the time of the assault with information is asked to call Public Safety at 556-3271.

This is the second report of a first degree sexual assault in Auraria's 10 year history. In Augustl985, a woman was raped by two men in Parking Lot C. No arrests were made in that case.

Two first degree sexual assaults are too many, Ferguson said, but Auraria

has had a lower crime rate than many campuses.

Colleges and universities tend to attract sexual crime because of the high concentration of younger women, Ferguson said.

"Generally, campuses have a pro­blem with sexual assaults," Ferguson said. "We may have fewer because ofa mature student body with more street sense."

Just keeping your eyes open may prevent an assauh, Ferguson said. Students are of ten so preoccupied with

KKK clone

by Loren A. Flnkelst~ln

During the campus unrest of the 1960s, Stokley Carmichael was a national figure as a leadertof the Stu­dent Non-Violent Coordin ting Com­mittee (SNCC). He was a hero to many in the early days ~f the civil rights movement. But then he began to attract widespread attention with his violent and extreme stat~ments. He became increasingly critical of SNCC' s alliance with white people, helped popularize the concep~ of Black Power, and later became Prime Minis­ter of the Black Panthers.

Today, Carmichael is a Black revo­lutionary who has taken the name Kwame Toure. And he is once again appearing on American campuses -his message is one of anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist bigotry.

For instance, speaking at Columbia University in New York last March, Toure said: "The best Zionist is a dead Zionist." He also remarked, "There is no such thing as the Jewish people." And in his All African Peoples Revolu-

-r-- tionary Party literature, claims are made that Jews "use their money, their power, the FBI, CIA, IRS, the courts and prisons, and many other ways to control and destroy our movements, leaders and people," and that "it was Jewish capital which financed slavery and the slave trade."

J

..

Strong stuff. The stuff of which hate is made. Such canards, unfortunately, do not encourage dialogue and coop­eration between the J ewisb and Black communities.

But then again, those who would be a party to Toure's appearances - at Auraria on Dec. 9 and elsewhere - are not much interested in dialogue and cooperation.

Repeated offers of assistance by the Anti-Defamation League - in person and in writing - to the Black Student Alliance (BSA) to plan and produce a symposium on prejudice in America, have fallen on deaf ears. Apparently some would rather hear about alleged Jewish control of the government and media than about how to effectively counter hate groups such as The Order and Klu Klux Klan which target both Jews and Blacks, or how to increase the role of minorities in the news and newsrooms.

To be sure, we've come a long way since Abraham Joshua Hesch el and other Jewish leaders marched side by side wjth Dr. Martin Luther King. But I must ask the BSA leadership: Will we march together again? And in the words of Hillel, if not now, when? D

Patriot I

for change

by Akbarall Thobhanl

I submit the following statement in response to your request for my view regarding Kwarne Toure's visit to the Auraria Campus.

As is well known, Kwame Toure was a leading activist in the 1960s in the struggle of black people to gain full citizenship rights in the U.S. He was involved in foundinJi; and/ or lead­ing several organizations. He shared the front pages with individuals like Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., among others. In short, he was among those leaders who were mak­ing history and shaping the second American Revolution. No doubt, his perspectives were described as mil­itant, leftist and controversial. Because of this vast experience and involve­ment that he has had, it is vital that all students at Metropolitan State College have the opportunity to hear K wame Toure. In particular, it is most impor­tant that Black students have this con­tact with this person who risked his life so that future generations of black people can enjoy equal opportunity rights. Kwame is history in life. Ban­ning K wame from the campus will deny hundreds of interested students of all ethnic background a unique encounter. I have heard Kwame on several occasions and I have yet to hear him preach a message of hate. As a professor who teaches history and political science courses, I always encourage my students .to distl:11guish between factual information and opin­ions, and then not to accept them pas­sively but to question and challenge and creatively learn.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Kwame has been very active in the Pan-African movement and has witnessed and par­ticipated in the international Black struggle. He has interacted with sev­eral African beads of State and leaders of Liberation movements. He has observed at close range and analyzed ideologically the many crisis con­tronting the African continent. Again, it is of utmost importance that Black students in particular, be exposed to these international perspectives.

The message that I have heard K wame preach in the past in Afro­American studies classes at MSC was: encouragement to students to com­plete their education, to develop glo­bal perspectives, to analyze the Black/ African historical experience, and to understand the importance of ideology.

Man warns Met of rape by Lucy Stolzenburg

The Metropolitan would like to talk to the man who dropped in to the paper's office late one afternoon about four weeks ago and complained about the lighting in an area where an MSC student was later raped at knifepoint.

The man wanted The Metropolitan to do a story about the poor lighting on the walkway between the Tivoli, the tennis courts, the playing field and lotW.

"He said his wife walks down there after night classes. He said there were no lights, someone was going to be

"He said if I wrote an article, I'd be famous," Crum said. "I told him to write a letter to the editor, but he said he didn't have time."

According to Dave Rivera, director of Public Safety, the lighting in the area was upgraded in September so that light from lot W spills over onto the path between the tennis courts and the field. Auraria is also working with Public Safety to add a light on the path.

"It might be low light, but there is

"If someone knows you've seen them, they might hesitate because you could identify them," Ferguson said.

After dark, Ferguson suggests a buddy system for going to and from class or using the parking shu1tle.

The shuttle is a car to classroom and back service, running from 4:30 p.m.

to 10:30 p.m. Students can contact the shuttle at 556-3257 before they leave their home or ask a parking hut attendant to call for the van. There are also phones for the van service in the first floor lounges of each building.

After 10:30 p.m., Public Safety will provide an escort to your car if you need it. They will also send someone to check on your safety if you have to be

alone in a classroom or lab. Crime prevention does not mean liv­

ing in paranoia, but it does involve being aware of potentially dangerous situations. . ,

"I don't think women should panic, but there is a need to be on their p's and q's," Ferguson said. "We're a pretty safe campus, but we're not crime free." o

The rape of a student - the rape of a nation

by Bob Haas

Public attitude is pivotal in shaping social mores. Right and wrong defined by our awareness of the facts.

Lately, for example, it has again become acceptable to profess a roug­ish eye for the ladies. The swinging

.... pendulum, reacting to AIDS and-Alan Alda sensitivity, has moved toward a resurgence of macho seJt-congrat­ulatory hormonal celebration.

An acceptable exclamation of gender preference, a welcome wink at a walk­

beauty might easily add to the clamor­ous concern over maintaining our safety in the face of despicable personal affront.

Sexual assault is one of the worst -crimes, perhaps second only to assault on a child.

Sexual assault, that violent invasion of personal space, reduces all of us to the extent that harmless skylarking now feels like filthy voyeurism.

And the guilty feeling produced by a strained-neck glance is second only to the guilty feeling of not having been around to smash the face or kick the genitals of the presumptuous asshole who sickeningly assaulted one of us.

The redundant question: Is the world uglier today, or are we simply more aware of the deformity in our society?

abuse merely chronicle our shattering humanity, or does press attention aid in the destruction of our healthy habitat?

What should the press tell us, how responsible need it be for shaping our society? How responsive should it be to the need of carving an acceptable society?

The present plumbers in Washing­ton would have us believe that if the Constitution is broken in the forest, and no press is around to bear the doc­ument fall, then no sound of lawbreak­ing is made. The Iran-Contra connec­tion is wrong only because someone found out.

There are those who believe that if reporters leave the personal agony of assault victims out of the public eye, then perpetrators will not be encour-

aged to engage in their filth. This suggests that sexual assault is

motivated by nothing more than a pur­suit of increased P.R. That its vicious debasement is merely a media progeny.

Our President claims that bis shambled foreign policy is a result of media scrutiny.

The media has only one role, and it defiantly protects that role as it pro­tects its actual offspring, which is posi­tive regard for objective truth.

The media's role is to inform the populace - not to shape sexual atti­tudes nor construct foreign policy.

Our role is to be informed, and the development of acceptable social mores - a revulsion-to sexual assault or dismay at presidential lawbreaking - will naturally follow. o

If Daddy can smile, we can· smile Editor:

In the bus, on the way to Mile High Stadium to get my car, I read with great attention the very heart warming article on Daddy Bruce Randolph, written by Dale Crµm in the November 21, Metropolitan.

I have a great need to express my views on the "unwritten" lines in this article. A lot has been written about this gentleman of a man, but his particular article

. sums up the majority of it, probably without the author knowing it. The article showed the man that Bruce Randolph is, but only a touch went into

the comparison between him and us or more importantly, the reason he is doing what he is doing. He is expressing to us the feeling it will give us to give, and how it really won't hurt.

In reading this, and looking at the "unwritten lines,'' I looked around me, at the people on the bus, the people on the street, or even people in the" crystal jungle." They are in their own little worlds, with their minds on their own problems,

, hustling from one place to another. What Daddy Bruce is saying, whether it be through a hug instead of a hand

shake, or just with the gleam in bis eye when he says that love and giving are the two most important things, is that we need to stop. We need to look at the other · person, don't just look at the ground when you pass them - look up and look at them.

To those that are reading this, take a minute and watch each other, either in the library, in the walkways between the classroom buildings or just in the super­market. It will enlighten you. I dare you to just make eye contact, and a double dare, if you do make eye contact, to smile.

This man is happy. He is happy because of what he is doing and the feeling it gives him. He isn't out for the glory, he has a genuine concern for those less fortunate than us. If we can't help him help others, at least let us learn something, don't be scared of our own shadow, loo~ up and smile.

Sincerely Mark Wolfe

· Missing equipment in lab stalls students Editor:

I take a chemistry class at Metropolitan State College, but I have problems because some equipment is missing in the chemistry laboratory. I remember the day I studied about density of liquids and solids in my third chemistry labora­tory. When I opened a cabinet, I did not see a graduated cylinder which I needed for my experiment. I tried to look for the graduated cylinder in other cabinets, but I was disappointed because I could not find it. Therefore, I had to wait until

my friend finished her experiment. Since the laboratory lacked this equipment on that day, I worried about time, aird I worked slower than my friend. In another experiment, I needed a beaker but there were not enough, so I had to wait for my friend to finish working. Equipment in the chemistry laboratory is not only lacking in my lab, but it is also lacking in some of my friends' labs. As soon as M.S.C. supplements the missing equipment in the laboratory, it will · attract more students to the lab classes.

Lament for Grahdma's lap, Grandma's cookies Editor:

After the funeral, everyone left. Since I needed to be alone, I chose to stay. The house was so silent I could hear my heart beat.

It was different when my grandma was alive. This is where I experienced most of my childhood memories. I could still see my grandma sitting on the rocking chair next to the fireplace telling stories to my brother and me. I remembered the aroma of those fresh chocolate cookies that Grandma used to bake.

I left the kitchen and wandered into my bedroom. I opened the chest below - my bed. The dresses that were made for me by Grandma were folded neatly in

the chest. I reached in and removed one of my favorite dresses. It was a blue dress with white lace around the sleeves and a cute bow in the back that Grandma added especially for me. Underneath the dress, I found a picture of me in the dress sitting on Grandma's lap. I broke down and cried. I cried so hard that my eyes swelled.

I missed Grandma and wished she were alive. But-through my memories she will never die.

Senator accuses Met of blaming Brame, Editor:

First of all, I would truly like to know if all the printed material against Steve Brame, former ASMSC Senator, should not be titled as: "The Metropolitan vs. Brame." If this were the case, then you would print material on all those who were a part of the "Senate Scandal" without bias. These are the facts:

Barry Fisch cancelled a CAC meeting, thus creating the following: Barry Fisch should not have cancelled the meeting; he has an obligation to

hold CAC meetings to meet the needs of the students. (Barry Fisch is no longer chair of CAC as of September 16, when the Senate approved Madonna.)

Linda Madonna knew better than to go ahead and hold a CAC meeting, because there was not quorum to approve any club requests. (3 Senators must be present)

Brame also knew better. Linda resigned because she knew that she would face impeachment. Brame resigned because in fact the J-Board would have also impeached him. President Gerhart has been violating CAC by-laws by signing check request

forms. (This obligation rests with the chair and secretary/treasurer of CAC.) In conclusion, fellow students, faculty, and other concerned pP.rsons: It is about time we work together to develop an improved ASMSC

(1. Senate, 2. Committees, 3. CAC, 4. Fellow Senators and each other.) Often it is so easy to point the finger (blame) at others as opposed to saying

"let's work together." Linda bailed ship and said Brame was wrong when iii fact Barry Fisch, Linda

Madonna, and Steve Brame, and even Mark Gerhart were also wrong. -While I'm not a party to this, I am a Senator of the ASMSC. I feel that we must

now look at the positive side and "work t<>gether." I know President Gerhart and fellow student Senators are trying hard and so should you I (The Metropolitan)

Sincerely Jay D. Frederick

MSC Senator, New CAC Representative

editor responds · Lisa Arndt Campus Editor

The "Positive side" should be objective: Poor Steve Brame. OK, maybe The Metropolitan wasn't overly sympathetic

toward him, but if we were, then we would be biased. We practice what we call "journalism" (though some of ()Ur readers, and they know who they are, will laugh when they read this.) We gathered the facts, gave Brame ample opportun­ity to comment and reported them fairly and accurately. If we were nice to Steve, it wouldn't be journalism anymore. ·

And it certainly wouldn't be objective. Sorry, but from an editorial standpoint, it doesn't seem fair to pass the buck

onto Barry Fisch or Mark Gerhart. The general concensus of the student politi­cians and a few administrators seems to be that confusion regarding the CAC and its bylaws caused most of the problems.

It's not up to The Metropolitan to say who., if anyone, is at fault. In fact, it's not up to student senators to decide, either.

.Parking: A • pain in .the , class, students say

Editor: MSC should build more parking spaces for students. I not only have to walk

for more than five blocks from 8th and Walnut streets, (Lot A) to Central Classroom Building, but in addition, I also got a parking ticket for overtime of less than five minutes at the parking meter. Furthermore, when I have a class at nine o'clock, I cannot find a space in lot A or lot F for my car at all, because the students that came befor:e me got all the spaces. I think MSC could make underground parking or a parking garage like in downtown.

Foreign students require help with ·spoken English Editor:

The main problems Foreign students encounter when they come to the U.S. to study are speaking and understanding spoken English. Although they studied English in their countries for many years, they did not have a chance to commun­icate with Americans and hear real American voices. Most Americans speak very fast and it seems they swallow some words, so it is really hard for foreign students to understand them and vice versa. Also, it is hard for American teachers to understand foreign students because of their pronunciation. I remember the first time I came to the U.S. and got lost in Denver. I asked an American pedestrian the way to get home, and he was really a patient man. He tried to understand me and I had to repeat my questions many times, even spelling out the words. I did not understand the directions he tried to show me and finally he had to draw a map on paper and give it to me. In addition, when I went to school, my first semester was really hard. I hesitated to speak English and ask questions in the class because the teachers did not understand me. To help the foreign students improve their speaking and understanding of spoken English, Metro­politan State College not only should have pronunciation tutors, but the school should also have English tape recordings in the library for foreign students to practice pronunciation.

Si I ly arguments cloud Editor:

The lack of parking space at Auraria is definitely an implicit source of frustra­tion. I would certainly be the first to support student efforts to push the issue of creating more parking options. The aggravation of expense, and limited availa­bility legitimizes the cause for student concern. But there are times when even a good cause can be damaged by an irrational argument that's filled with fallacies. So when a mysterious author recently submitted his editorial observations on the parking dilemma, the barrage of erroneous comments were too exasperating to tolerate.

The last two issues of The Met featured commentary by a disgruntled student named "Mark." He offered a common thesis in both editorials, which focused on the penalty process for parking violations. A decisive point in error was exposed, when Mark asked, "Why are tickets issued on the spot, without regard to the circumstances?" Being late for class would hardly excuse parking violators from flagrantly abusing the same rules that other students faithfully abide by. Since we all have to acknowledge the reality of a parking shortage, there's no sense in

Editor: Having been a student at MSC for two years, I still cannot see that the parking

problem at Auraria Campus is being solved. I think MSC needs more money to build parking lots because there are not enough parking spaces for all students, faculty, and staff at this school.

Students have had many problems with their classes because of lacking parking spaces. I am one of them.

Sometimes, I have to park my car five blocks away from school at the high price of $2.00, and then walk to school. Therefore, I am often late for my classes, especially for those at 8:00 a.m. However, this happens to not only just me, but I also believe that there are many other students who have had the same troubles that I have had with parking. Therefore, MSC must solve this problem as soon as possible in order to help all people at this school.

I will recommend some possible ways which could raise the money for this procedure of solving the parking problems. MSC cannot only raise the tuition by 1%, but they can also raise the parking fee up to a certain amount, such as about $1.25 or $1.50 per day, that everyone can afford. Moreover, they may also get the money by donations from parents, students, or whoever wants to give help. I hope everyone will support these above ideas.

Parking nonexistent for 1 O a.m. classes

Editor: Metropolitan State.College does not have enough parking spaces for students.

For example, if students' classes do not start until ten o'clock, they will have a hard time finding a parking space near the campus. Students not only have a hard time finding a parking space, but they also have to walk at least five blocks to campus if they ever do find a parking space. Therefore, they will be late to their classes. For that reason, Metropolitan State College must build a parking garage or give students free rides to Mile High Stadium where they could park their cars.

serious parkin.Q issue that, " ... the citations generate a windfall of $1,188,092, and the parking office retains a whopping $150,000 per year." But according to the October 31 article, " ... Auraria had $1,188,092 in outstanding parking fines from 1982-86. AHEC collected about $150,000 per year, or 36 percent of the outstanding fines." That means that over a quarter of a million in outstandi!}g fines remained unpaid each year. (So where's the revenue enhancement?)

Why should AHEC be expected to allow two out of every three tickets to go unpaid? A precedence of abuse will only turn an orderly parking process into an exploitable service for students who don't feel accountable to anyone. That's the reason why an investment had to be made for attendants and patrol person­nel. Unfortunately, some students resort to childish behavior, by ripping up their tickets in a fit of temperamental rage.

... contriving a new set of excuses for not taking the bus. There can't be an orderly parking process when students expect privileged exceptions to be made.

A popular supply and demand theory floating around campus lately, suggests that AHEC is cashing in on real estate speculation with Auraria parking lots. Some students believe that the rising costs were artificially created by a shortage of space. If that were true, then should we presume that students opposed the revitalization of a historical landmark like Tivoli? Was Auraria Parkway ever an unpopular proposal? And wasn't it inevitable that another classroom building would be constructed at some point in the future? Students could learn to gracefully accept the opportunity costs of progress.

In regard to the towing and storage charges, parking violators have my condolences for subjecting themselves to an ordeal of desperation. But in lieu of the fact that so many students abuse the parking service, the stern measures are justifiable. The costs for towing and storage are going to be expensive no matter which company is given a contract by AHEC. So whose fault is it when a student has to pay fines and charges?

Mark's conspiratorial theory of AHEC policy follows a continuity of reckless assertions. His first mistake was based on the assumption that a plan to encumber registration and transcript processing for parking violators, took its inception from AHEC. In reality, the recommendation originated from the State Auditor's Office, since an unprecedented number of outstanding fines were ·cited in a mandatory. audit report.

This inevitably led to a second source of confusion when Mark failed to correctly interpret an October 31 article on the encumbrance issue. Mark felt

The rationale for why AHEC could never provide free parking, would require a lengthy explanation of the financial obligations AHEC must meet. But I'm not going to embark on that major undertaking. The best suggestion for a construc­tive strategy would be to encourage AHEC administrators to speed up lease negotiations with the Denver Rio Grande.

Student credibility with AHEC administrators could also be strengthened by offering alternative parking options that deserve further consideration. A level­headed working relationship between AHEC and students might increase the chances for a parking-fee reduction. But declaring AHEC a public nuisance won't make much of an influential impact.

Experience can be addicting

by Carol Buck

People don't get addicted to drugs. They get addicted to the experiences drngs create, according to Harvey Milkman. MSC professor of psycho-logy. ·

"In the area of human compulsion, the experience is the protagonist," Milkman said. "Drugs or activities are just the supporting actors."

Milkman, who bas researched addic· tive behavior for about 20 years and authored two books on the subject, said that addiction is a multidisciplinary

You are addicted if you cannot con­trol when you start or stop the activity.

"When you can't always control when you start or stop drinking, you're an alcoholic," Milkman said.

Whether a substance or activity is legal or illegal has little to do with its addictive potential, he said.

"Alcohol is a legal drug that's very, very addictive," Milkman said.

100,000 deaths per year can be attri­buted to alcoholism, and 300,000 deaths annuaUy can be attributed to cigarette smoking, both legal substances, ·he said.

problem. The interaction of psycho· logical, biological and sociological forces causes people to follow various paths of indulgence.

"To reduce addiction to one aspect, I think, is simplistic;" Milkman said. ''i\ddictioa can be thought of as a wide spectrum, a family of social prob­lems and behaviors characterized by compulsion, loss of control and contin­uation despite harmful consequences:

Any form of compulsive behavior can be considered addictive, said Milkman. This could be anything: tak­ing drugs, working too hard, eating chocolate, arguing or sky-diving.

"You can change your nemoactivity by activities as well and drugs," Milk· man said. "Drugs or activities are just the supporting actors to get to the end result of raising your level of neuro­'transinission."

ities that correspond with how they relieve stress.

"We get addicted not to the drugs. The drugs are just vehicles to reduce , tension," Milkman said. "The drug is harmonious with your characteristic way of reducing stress."

The three kinds of experiences to which you can become addicted, according to Milkman, are arousal, relaxation and fantasy.

Active, confrontational or nervous people are more vulnerable to stimu­lant drugs like amphetamines e>r cocaine, and exciting or dangerous activities such as sky-diVing, he said.

People who deal with stress by lay­ing back and becoming passive are more likely to take depressant drugs like alcohol, Valium or ~roin, Milk­man said.

Most students riding RTD busses to the Auraria campus will have to transfer at the corner of Broadway and Colfax Avenue starting Jan. 11 if they want to • get off at their usual campus stops.

RTD is eliminating five bus routes to Auraria, leaving only the number 15 and 0 busses to transport over 400 campus-bound passengers daily, because the state highway department and Auraria officials want to reduce .. traffic near construction sites, said RTD spokesman Neil Lincoln.

"We're being asked to move out," he said. "It's not something we're doing because we want to do it. The 15 and 0 can handle it; there's not going to be an

Parking fines can be a pain, and dis­covering your vehicle was towed can be a major inconvenience at the least. But when your vehicle is ticketed, towed and you are arrested, life • couldn't seem to be dealing you a worse hand as one Metro student will attest to.

Nov. 21, a student parked his motor­cycle near the Arts Building and came out of the building to tind his vehicle ticketed and a tow truck hoisting it up.

According to Auraria officials, the vehicle was parked in a restricted area and had several outstanding tickets. When the student attempted to stop his vehicle from being towed, Denver police were called to the scene and the ...; student was arrested on a misdemea­nor charge of interfering with a tow.

Other activity on the Auraria cam­pus indicated a relatively quiet holiday week.

Auraria parking lots again draw attention, as two incidents involving

Colorado Historical Foundation restored cupola on the Knight House in Historic Ninth Street Park

by carol Buck

Historic Ninth Street Park . is. now more historic than ever4 thanks.to the recent addition of a cupola to. 1015 Ninth St. •• .

The cupola is an angular, four7sided structurepmmed with ironomdl'hent· ation that perches like a hat on t~ roof of the house.

The Knight House, named after its first residents, Kate and hen Knight, w~ built in 1885.

Jean ~n, granddaughter of the Knights and former Colorado· state representative, recently found docu­mentation that showed the house originally had a cupola. ·

"My mot.her found a photograph in some old family papers, t.aken 35 to 40 years ag ' on Bain~chairro .the Aurari er Education T's board 0 tors aila Denver oral candidate. said. "It was a cleail>lack and white of the house with a cupola

on it." It is unknown when or why the

original cupola was removed. "ltwas such a de.terlorated area, my

best guess is that itjust rotted," Bain said. '++

The cupola was probably rern<>ved by an absentee landlord who didn't care to spend money to restore it, he said.

''The family thought it would be appropriate to r re the house as 'accurately asp ," Bain said.

He said that t e the houses as historically genuine as possible was the initial goal of the Ninth Street Park

the finest-proportioned Victorianhouse in De1wer, according to UCO bistbry professorTomN · ogavea.speech on th~,hjstory of ·a at the Cltpola' s dediCation cerern 'November 18.

Money for the cupola came through the Colorado Historical Foundation.

Men's Basketball Undefeated . by Robert Ritter

Even with an undefeated record and excellent play from some unexpected sources, head coach Bob Hull said the MSC men's basketball team can play even better.

"Offensively we haven't jelled, but defensively we're playing very well. The guys are playing especially hard on defense and hitting the boards well. We're averaging nine rebounds more a game than our opponents," Hull said.

Freshman Shun Tillman is averaging 13.8 points per game along with eight rebounds, while David Weatherall is continuing. to impress with his play, including a clutch three-point shot in the closing minutes of a 61-59 win over Fort Lewis last Friday.

•

Hull said he felt the Roadrunners would do well, but dot quite this well because of the loss to injury and illness A.

of stand-out transfers Shefrie Staples and Larry Jones.

"Without Shefrie I didn't think we'd be 4-0 at this point," he said. "And Larry has been out. We're just now adjusting, but the guys are playing hard. We feel really good to be win- "' ning while our offense has been sput­tering." o

Addictions/trom p. a are predisposed to psychedelic drugs such as marijuana and LSD, he said.

Addiction is a progressive disease, with identifiable signs and symptoms, that will lead to probaple death, Milkman·said.

AddiCtion begins with the acquisi­tion stage, according to Milkman, char­acterized by getting high on a drug or activity. The person returns to normal without the substance.

Gradually, the person develops tol­erance to his vice and requires more and more of it to feel good. Tolerance is the beginning of the maintenance period of addiction.

"In the maintenance phase, there's no more euphoria, no more blissful satiation or blissful excitation," Milk­man said. "They can get normal but

they can't get high." The final stage of addiction is death. Milkman stressed that addictive

behavior affects the brain's ability to process information.

"It's not magic, you're not getting closer to God, you're not becoming more spiritual, you're screwing up your neurotransmission," Milkman said.

The highest correlate to drug abuse is social, rather than psychological or biological, Milkman said.

"If you want to know if your kid is using drugs, find out if his friends are using drugs," he said. "The variable that correlates most closely to drug addiction is whether friends are using it. ..

This is because the need for belong­ing is very s~ong, Milkman said. So

• If you 're an anorectic, bulimic, or

compulsive overeater, there is no other one-syllabie word that crackles with such emotion. That provokes such fury and frustration. Or causes such obsessive behavior.

Your disorder follows a bizarre pattern of abnormal eating that has become, unfortunately, a way of life. Whether you starve yourself or' 'purge'' on the heels of a major binge, or just eat too much, these illnesses can have devastating consequences.

Such as death . At Rocky Mountain Hospital, we

understand the serious emotional bur­den these illnesses bring, as well as the often overwhelming physical side effects. And we offer an effective treat­ment program that will turn your life around.

People with eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. You don't need to look emaciated or obese to be in . serious trouble. If you or someone you know has an eating problem, we'd like to provide a free consultation and more information. Call us immediately at 393-5950 or write.

strong, in fact, that people will join a negative group.

"A failure identity is better than no identity," he said.

Milkman outlined a three-phase method for innoculation against addic­tion. The first phase is cognitive educa­tion, developing an understanding of addiction's biologic, psychologic and sociologic aspects .

The second step in the prevention of addiction, according to Milkman, is skill development. If people learn relaxation techniques, coping with stress and assertiveness, they won't be as likely to reduce stress in dangerous physical or chemical ways.

The final phase of the innoculation method is rehearsal, an ongoing pro­cess of education and skill develop-

15

ment, Milkman said. Prevention is easier than curing

addiction. From 60 to 80 percent of all addicts who attempt abstinence fail within six months, Milkman wrote with Stanley Sunderwirth, former MSC vice president of academic affairs, in a arti­cle titled "The Chemistry Craving,'' published in the October 1983 issue of Psychology Today.

"It can be excruciatingly difficult to overcome renegade biological-pro­cesses that are further encouraged by powerful social and psychological influences,'' reads the article. "Yet it can be done.

"We need not be slave to our com­pulsive behavior,'' Milkman wrote. D

As of January 11, bus service to Auraria will change. If you currently use routes 2, 10, 11, 14, 15-Limited, 19 or 2i, you can still use them after January 11 and simply make an easy transfer at Colfax and Broadway to Route 0 (until 7 p.m. weekdays) or 15. Routes 1. 16, 16-Limited and 20 will continue to serve the campus.

Decembers. 1986 The Metropolitan

Crew beams down to a whale of a time

by Robert Davis

Three guys - dressed sort of funny (even for San Fransisco) - stand on a comer wondering where they can get transparent aluminum.

They're not in a new town, these guys have been around the coast for a while. They're lost in a new time.

Their misfortune is our fun. It's hard not to feel like these guys

aren't old friends. It's hard not to know ..._ them. And when they get in a real jam,

it's hard not to get involved. No one understands that bond

between trekkies (fans) and trekkers (those who trek) like pointy-ear director Leonard Nimoy. He uses this family type bond to involve those in the audience who can appreciate the subtleties.

These three guys on the corner are looking for something they know they won't find. There is no transparent aluminum in 1986 - darn the luck. So what to do.

As they ponder, the camera pulls back to reveal the big sign on the wall: Can't Find It? Try Pacific Bell Yellow Pages.

They, loyal trekkies, can't hold back. "Look behind you," one yells. "Scotty, let your fingers do the walk-

ing," a woman shrieks with laughter. If one isn't much into Star Trek,

these people who make noise and enjoy the movie a little too much might be annoying.

But they can't seem to help it. They're , pushed to this edge of insanity by

.,

Nimoy, who uses a very logical emo­tion (a mind boggling contradiction to Spock) - friendship.

Everytime there's a break in the time travel, space encounter, high-tech action, Nimoy reminds the crowd that their knowledge makes them special friends of these people.

While McCoy is trying to strike up a conversation with Spock, he realizes that the vulcan's death and rebirth (Star Trek II, III) has really changed him .

"You really have gone where no man has gone before," McCoy says.

Some of this fun does border on the silly. It's an unfortunate side effect, but, if it's not a little corny, it's not Star Trek.

Star Trek IV is the best produced of the four.

Special effects come from Indus­trial Light and Magic studios, who produced effects for E.T. (The Extra­terrestrial), Back To The Future, Cocoon, Star Wars and the Indiana Jones films.

But all the high tech and production expertise in Hollywood couldn't do to this picture what these characters do. Chekov - with his heavy Russian accent, asking passers-by to direct him to the "nuclear wessels" - is hysterical.

This film is fun for everyone. You certainly don't have to be a trekkie to enjoy this one. But if you haven't seen the first ones, it may be worth getting them on tape and having a Trek Fest.

It's not required, but you'll fit in bet­ter with all the alien movie-goers you'll meet. o
