Check thefts ·at Fin. Aid ~investigated

Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

Although a former cashier at Metropolitan State College was arrested on a charge of second degree forgery when he

~ allegedly attempted to give a stolen loan check to his 16 year-old daughter to cash, MSC Financial Aid Director Cheryl Judson said that such incidents are uncommon.

Ten other cases of stolen and forged financial aid checks, however, remain unsolved.

According to affidavits and arrest reports from Denver ~ CountyCourt,onOct. 27, 1989, VincentL. Tubbs passed to

his daughter, Carmen M. Melendez, a stolen financial aid check drawn on the account of CITIBANK student loans made out to MSC student Shelly L. Brady for $1,838. Melendez then took the check to Money Expr~ at 907 East Colfax A venue, to be cashed. Money Express manager

'- Jack Gill, attempting to prove that, in fact, Melendez was entitled to the check, asked whether there was a person he could contact for verification. Melendez gave him a number on campus. Gill called the number and spoke to a person claiming to be "Michael" who verified that Melendez was Shelly L. Brady and was entitled to the check.

Gill returned from a back office where he had made the · _, phone call to find that Melendez had fled the store. Walking

out of the store, Gill flagged down .Denver Police Officer C.J. Fuermann, and the two apprehended Melendez and took her into custody.

Melendez made a written statement that Tubbs had given her the check to cash and instructed her to bring the cash

.O:. back to him on campus. The number given to Gill by Melendez for check

verification was dialed again, and it was found that the phone was a main line into the Cashier's Office at MSC which is used by several employees, including Tubbs.

Carmen Melendez was released into her mother's custody t and Tubbs was contacted by authorities. He was asked to

appear at the Check Detail Office at the Denver Police Department.

On Oct. 30, Tabbs reported to the Check Detail Office and denied allegations that he had passed a forged check to his daughter to be cashed.

, .• Detective D.M. Kimmett, who is in charge of the case, then spoke with Sita Thomas of the MSC Cashier's Office who said that the check was, in fact, taken from a drawer there.

Judson said that the incident was a "fluke" and that employees taking funds from the business, financial aid or cashier's office is an uncommon occurrence.

.._ "This is an extremely rare situation because there are so many checks and balances when a financial aid check is cut. It goes through so many pr~ in the cashier's, business and financial aid offices and the checks are tracked numerous times and logged into computers. It seems like a

PCBs gone from Walnut site M.K. Wagner The Metropolitan

Auraria's toxic scare '89 at the Fifth and Walnut streets' parking site has been eliminated.

After nearly 1,000 samples were taken and more than 30 truck loads of contaminated soil and concrete were removed from the parking site, Auraria is reasonably confident that the area is clear of polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs).

PCB bas been available since 1930, and was used widely as a compound in commercial products such as fire retardants and inks. It was removed from the market in 1973 after it was accidentally added to animal feed in Michigan, resulting in farm animals dying or being destroyed because of contami­nation. PCB has been listed as a carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency .

"Anytime you go into an area that has been industrialized for many years you run the risk of finding a problem like this," said Dean Wolf, director of the Physical Plant. "We normally do testing of vacated land before any con­struction."

The initial scare began when CU-Denver's senate was alarmed by an investigating crew at the

parking lot. The crew took core samples and

discovered that PCBs existed in certain areas. CU-Denver, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and Jim Schoemer, AHEC's executive vice president for administration, jointly decided to hire an independent group, Havelick & Assoc., to test the parking lot with Public Service of Colorado.

Testing has been conducted by PSC since April. Havelick did their first testing on Sept. 29, and it showed PCB concentration as high as 70 parts per million. This is over the accepted Environmental Pro­tection Agency standard of IO parts per million.

On Dec. 21, more samples were taken and the sight was determined acceptable. In January, all parties agreed that there was certified documentation that the area was clean, said Dan Becker, SACAB student representative.

"We entered into the preliminary lease with Public Service. That lease was contingent upon the property being free of hazardous waste," Schoemer said. "We have just finalized the lease because it was subject to the property being cleared first.

"What's important here is that this is a learning experience for all of us, that is what a campus is all about. In the pr~ of doing this, everyone learns more about what

kind of world we live in today and there is certainly nothing wrong with raising issues. It was the right thing to do," Schoemer said.

The unpaved lot will officially open in February, although the original estimated opening date was late September, Wolf said

"The reason that it is so important that we get it (Fifth and Walnut streets) open is because, at the end of the month, the parking garage construction is going to start and the spaces in lot F will no longer be available," Schoemer said.

Schoemer said he believes that the whole area could have hazard­ous wastes, but he doesn't believe it will be a problem unless dis­turbed. 0

Tenure criteria face dispute Carrie A. Vogel The Metropolitan

There may be no research mis­sion for MSC, but research and publishing play an important role in evaluating faculty members for tenure.

Many tenure criteria are un­officially changed by the ad­minimation before the official gui~ lines are rewritten for Metro's fa­culty handbook, said Doris Cost, Chair of the School of Business Promotion and Tenure Committee.

"It has caused problems because everybody that is above you is telling you to start publishing, or get active in research. While the handbook says research is desirable, it does not say that it is required," Cost said "Until they change the handbook, can they really hold faculty members to those criteria.?

"The handbook is the contract, and the majority of the teachers, and this includes the faculty senate, believe that you can only be held to what is in the handbook," she said.

Lyle E. Dehning who serves on the committee with Cost said the problem with granting tenure has been ever-changing guidelines.

''The faculty senate says teaching is the priority. The administration says 'no publications, no research, no tenure'," be said.

G .W. Stone, chair of the depart-

ment of economics, said, "No question, research plays a role in all decisions. Both with tenure and promotion."

Stone said that research is con­sidered part of professional develop­ment, which is one of three criteria for evaluating faculty for tenure or promotion. The other two criteria are teaching and service.

Professional development can include attending seminars and work­shops, publishing papers, updating curriculum, research and presen­tations at meetings, Cost said.

Stone said, "A person with more professional development than somo­one else is going to come out ahead if they do research and publish."

Jon Plachy, chair of the Promo­tion and Retention Committee for Letters, Arts, and Sciences, said he views administration as the real problem at Metro.

"We need a strong administra­tive model to help motivate teachers to do even better than they've been doing. Administration doesn't set a good example and doesn't provide the necessary leadership for faculty to do .!l better job," he said.

"We talk about good teaching at Metro, but when it's time for promotion, tenure, merit pay -we tend to look for flashy things like research and publishing. Teaching takes a back seat," he said

Dean of Letters, Arts, and

Sciences, Larry Johnson, said, "There is no criteria that says someone has to publish so many papers, but, at the same time, we encourage our faculty to continue to develop their expertise and share this development with others.

"Historically, tenure was a mechanism by which faculty main­tained the quality of itself. Tenure grew out of the notion of academic freedom of speech," Johnson said

"Tenured faculty are guaranteed an opportunity to react against claims against them in some form," he said "Tenure guarantees a~ quence of events must take place if

charged wtih incompetency. Tenure isn't a job guarantee."

So, does research and publishing weight in the favor of the person applying for tenure?

"It would depend on the program you were in and whether your doing that (research & publishing) interfered with other things," said Liz Friot, president of the MSC Faculty Senate.

"Here teaching is the most impor­tant element of your evaluation and if you were involved in research to the point where it was detrimental to your teaching, then your teaching evaluation wouldn't be very good," she said o

Brewer addresses academic policies The Metropolitan recently interviewed ·

MSC President Thomas Brewer about his often-controversial academic policies. In the final part of the interview, he answers questions about research and the role of athletics at MSC. The Met: Another rumor that comes up every few years is the development of a graduate program here at Metro. Brewer: It's not in our planning. By law, we can't give graduate programs. Even the CCHE could not allow us to give graduate programs. We'd have to go to the legislature. It's in the law that we are an undergraduate (institution) only. The same way it's in the law that we can't play football. We have to go back to the legislature to see if we can play football.

The Met: What about all the rumors con­cerning the No-Credit policy? Brewer: I have expressed concern about it. There is a faculty senate committee looking at it in academic affairs. That regulation would be passed by the faculty senate. I have concerns about it from the standpoint of the integrity of the curriculum, and there are faculty who agree with me. There are faculty who disagree with me. I am nervous about a policy that allows a student, the last day of class, to walk up and get an NC. As one (Michael Green) said at the (Student Senate) meeting the other day, he knows for a fact that there are (criminal justice graduate school personnel) that take every NC on the transcript and count it as an F.

MSC President Thomas Brewer

The Met: Is that common for all graduate schools? Brewer: I can't speak for all graduate schools. They can look at it anyway they like. But most institutions, and these are urban schools, what point I'm trying to get across, is that I don't compare us to Boulder or Fort Collins. We are comparable to Cleveland State, to the University of Mis­souri, Kansas, St. Louis, Portland State, and you could go all over the country and there are urban schools, and I came from an urban school in Atlanta, and urban schools are the same. So, at Metro, we are not unique in the sense that there is nothing else like us in the world. Every urban school - I mean, if we

'And some faculty have even told me, which I must confess Is astonishing to me, that students should not make Fs.'

say our average age is 27, most other schools would say their average age is 27. If we say 85 percent of our students work, most other urban schools would say 85 percent of their students work. And you can take this right down the line. And so I compare Metro to urban schools. I'm not trying to compare us to Boulder or Fort Collins. The norm is that a student can usually drop a course up until mid-semester. But after mid-semester, there

is a certain commitment that has been made to the course. And you have provisions for hardships. But a student can not just go through every semester and bust every exam and walk up the last day and get a "no­credit." I have had students here complain to me say, "Look, I work my buns off all semester and I really work hard so I'm making a C and here is this student sitting next to me who has done absolutely nothing and shows up half the time, flunks every test, walks up and gets a 'no credit.' " Now, the question is, what does this do to the integrity of the curriculum? I think the senate commit­tee is looking at that to see if we should bring the NC back into the mainstream of urban schools. And I understand that those faculty who do like it will argue that the difficulty our student body has. And some faculty have even told me, which I must confess, is astonishing to me, is that students should not make Fs. Somehow, it destroys their self­esteem. It's almost as if they're saying that a student can't work hard and get an F. This runs counter to my own personal academic philosophy. And I don't think you can argue this from urban education philosophy.

Another problem that I have is that the NC is given with the permission of the instructor, so what happens is that our faculty gets into a bind that some are very strict on this and will not give an NC and some give them out rather easily. So, we get an inequity situation between a student in one class that can't get an NC and a student in another class that can get an NC. And I think that students are entitled to equity across the board on that particular issue. Most institutions will have a common policy.

The Met: What is your opinion of how much resource should be put into the Intercollegiate Athletic Program, and bow far should the institution go with it? Brewer: We have had a long history with intercollegiate athletics. I think intercollegiate athletics are valuable to this institution. They give us a source of interest to students. I bet a lot of students read the sports section of the Met. I think it performs a very useful function, it gives us public relations, the alumni have an interest in it. I think students have an interest. Not all students, not any more than at other insitutions. I mean if you really poll students in a big university with 50,000 students, I mean, how many really went to basketball games. Football's some­what different. But how many students go to · basketball? Nonetheless, I think intecollegiate

athletics are valuable to Metro. They're .. valuable for fund raising as well, because they keep our name out before the public. And I think it's a recruiting thing for Metro. Students get interested and read about Metro athletics. They have an interest in learning more about this school, so it performs, I .. think, a variety of functions for the institution. Unfortunately, when you get into athletics, there are only certain ways you can raise money for athletics. One is student fees, one is gate receipts, donations. We are not a big time, Division I institution. Therefore, the ,, gifts, the gate receipts won't be great. Because basically, we only have two revenue sports, men's and women's basketball. Women's volleyball, possibly, but all the rest of them would be classified as non-revenue sports by any institution. Therefore, you're not going to get much out of gate receipts. Gifts are • increasing. The Booster Club is up every year, but still, it's not enough to offset what we need. So that leaves only one (source of revenue) at Metro and that is student fees.

It might be interesting to sample, particu­larly urban schools with intercollegiate pro- ? -

grams, and see what percent of their budgets come from student fees. At most of them, you'll probably find that 90 percent of their budgets come from student fees. Our student fees for athletics are still considerably less than what you will find at Mesa, W estem, Adams, because those schools don't have any gate receipts to speak of. o

Workshop stresses brief resumes Robert Pattison The Metropolitan

Students from Metropolitan State College and the University of Colorado at Denver learned bow to construct resumes during the Resume Workshop Tues., Feb. 6.

The workshop, offered by the Office of Career Se.rvices in Arts Building Room 177, showed students bow to "highlight their accomplishments," said Julie Hughes, office director who taught the workshop.

The average interviewer spends a minute scanning your resume, and if nothing grabs his attention, you won't stand a chance. You have to tell him what you have done and the position you want, Hughes said

But she said it's good to not list everything on your resume - that's what the job application is for.

To help students select information, Hughes suggested that they make an inven­tory of their skills and attnbutes. It's also important to list your most recent education including communication skills, personality, job preference, etc.

Then, make a list of previous jobs. Hughes advises students to go back IO or 15 years to see a pattern of things they liked to do that they could put on their resume. "You need to know what you are good at and what you should keep doing," Hughes said.

After you've made the list, you'll know what to select and put on your resume.

When it is ready to be typed, Hughes said, choose the format you want such as chrono­logical, targeted, selected experience, or creative alternative. Limit mistakes, take out personal pronouns and start sentences with action verbs when descnbing your responsi­bilities. Personal information such as religion and physical description can be discriminat­ing, Hughes said.

To illustrate her point, she said that a male

boss, not at Auraria, told her that he would never have hired her ifhe knew she was two inches taller than he. Hughes later left that job. "If you have that intuitive feeling that this (job) isn't right, don't stay there," she said.

"When you get a job, it needs to be a two-way street. You need to like them and they have to like you," Hughes said, remind­ing the students about personal satisfaction.

But, if the person bas gotten as far as the interview and the question, "What kind of salary do you want?" is asked, stay calm and tum the question around: "What is the salary range?" Hughes said.

It's never good to give a number when you're asked about salary, Hughes said.

As a rule, you should stick to a resume that follows the company philosophy. Do not use a creative alternative resume if you want a job at a conservative company.

The cover letter was the last thing Hughes touched upon, reminding everyone that it is important to get the right names with the right job titles.

" 'Dear Sir' is an occupant letter. [Em­ployers] won't spend any time with that letter," said Hughes. "You should take the time to address a specific person," she said.

Andrew McGrath, a music and media major at CU-Denver who attended the workshop said, "I'd definitely recommend this place. I've had a resume for survival jobs (McDonald's) and one for a permanent job. I learned three major things that I could correct, and I've had resumes for over seven years."

For more information, go to Arts Building Room 177. There is a library full of current job listings, books on jobs, and two special reference books: "The Damn Good Resume Guide" and "The Resume Catalog: 200 Damn Good Examples" by Y ana Parker and a packet titled "Resumes that Work." For future workshop times, look in the Calendar Section of The Met. o

New tenure policy causes faculty woes

Carrie A. Vogel The Metropolitan

Last year's change from a thr~year to a five-year probationary tenure period bas caused problems among Metro's faculty.

"When the probationary period changed from three to five years, there were some people who were sort of caught in the middle," said Liz Friot, president of the MSC Faculty Senate.

"Those people were given a choice of either sticking with the thr~year proba­tionary period or going to a five-year pro­bationary period," she said "Even if they went to the five-year probationary period, they could, perhaps, apply for early tenure."

Several problems have occurred with the new policy in the School of Business alone, where only two out of six teachers that applied were granted early tenure after three years of teaching at Metro.

The cri~eria for people to be granted tenure after three years are much stiffer than

at five years, said G.W. Stone, chair of the economics department.

Another problem is the guidelines by which the School of Business Promotions and Tenure Committee members evaluate the applicants.

"The guidelines keep changing, so we don't really know what the guidelines are supposed to be," said committee member Lyle E. Dehning.

"Our recommendations [last fall] may have been misguided because of problems with understanding the guidelines," said Phil Foster, a member of the committee. "It's hard to hit a moving target; the criteria are changing all the time," he said.

Friot said the policy changed because Metro's administration wanted a longer time to look at a faculty member before granting tenure.

But the policy change could have the effect of keeping incompetent faculty mem­bers around longer, Friot said.

UCO offers women's courses Cinthia M. Belle The Metropolitan

CU-Denver's Extended Studies Program is offering a workshop to examine a multitude of issues surrounding women of the '90s.

Alice lerley, a Denver attorney, mother and feminist, will offer "The Status of Women in the '90s: The Best ofTimes or the Worst of Times?"

The four-night class will examine employ­ment discrimination, divorce, reproductive rights, and violence against women.

A safe-house counselor for two years in Boulder, lerley feels the experience was "life-changing in some senses," but does not want to dedicate the whole session to disc~ions on battering.

"I don't want to make this a one-issue class. That's not my intent. It's a hot issue now and an important one. And we'll talk about it, but there are a lot of other issues just under the heading of violence against women, like rape and incest, that are significant," Ierley said.

Other in-depth topics include: • A series focusing on family law -what's happened to women in divorce situations, how the laws changed in the last decade to help and how they are still a hinderance.

• Reproductive rights. • Women in the workplace, employment

discrimination and child care issues.

• Discussion of the legal system as it pertains to women's lives.

"I'd like to get some discussions going on what might be coming up in the '90s. What changes we would like to see and what changes we are likely to see. And then do some exercises that get people talking about several sides of a given issue," lerley said.

lerley said it is important that the exercises deal with articulating goals precisely because, "(she thinks) everybody can say that we want a world where women can walk the streets, are safe in their homes and where women are able to earn a comparable wage," she said.

There is a lot of information to obtain from this time-limited class, Ierley said She suggests that people of any age, who see a story in the newspaper that's related to women's issues and read it, will probably get the most out of the class. She feels these people have an ongoing interest in decisions that are made that affect women's lives. Reading the newspaper gives a working knowledge of what the laws are, a good background for the class and a common level of understanding from where the class will be working, she said.

"I hope that the combination of these things will leave women feeeling informed, possibly impowered and maybe optimistic," Ierley said.

Materials will be available for in-class reading assignments and personal use.

The class runs from March 8 through 29 on Thursdays, 7 to 9 p.m. at the CU-Health Sciences Center, School of Nursing, south side of 4200 E. 9th Ave., Room 2939. The fee is $39.

Center for Environmental Sciences

UCO lab gets chief Yvonne Barcewskl The Metropolitan

The new man at the helm of CU-Denver's Center for Environmental Sciences plans to steer it toward fighting environmental prol>­lems.

Herman Sievering was appointed director of the center on Jan. 4, 1990, by Marvin Loflin, dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at CU-Denver.

The center coordinates research to help identify and solve environmental problems . It is supported by federal and foundation grants.

"Dr. Sievering's national stature as a researcher and scholar were deciding factors in making the appointment," Loflin said. He also said that Sievering "presently has funding for research in environmental matters from the National Science Foundation."

The half-time position will last for three years. Sievering will also teach on a perma­nent, half-time basis in CU-Denver's master's program for environmental sciences, he said.

Sievering succeeds Willard Chappell, founder of the center. Chappell will return to CU-Denver's physics department as a full­time professor and will continue to direct the master's of environmental sciences program, Loflin said

"We would like to see the analytical lab renamed in honor of Dr. Chappell," Sievering said

Due to federal budget cuts made during the Reagan administration, there bas been

less money available for the center's program than there was in the past, said Robert Meglen, director of the center's lab.

"There used to be five full-time analysts," he said. ''Now, there are only two."

Some of the center's projects have included studying air and water pollution and the environmental effects of oil shale develop­ment, uranium mine tailings and changes in Colorado's lakes.

"We want to maintain programs to help solve local problems, but we want to add research that looks at the broader spectrum," Sievering said.

Last summer, Sievering traveled to Europe where he lectured about the sulfur cycle's relationship to global warming. This year, he will lecture in the Far East.

"As time goes by and budget permits, we would like to bring in faculty from other universities," Loflin said.

But Sievering said the center's main pur­pose will be to assist the 70 students enrolled in CU-Denver's master's of environmental sciences program to complete their degrees.

Sievering said he would also like to offer a doctorate program in environmental sci­ences that will focus on the applied and interdisciplinary nature of their research.

"Employers in the environmental science fields are looking for a person who can communicate across various interdisciplinary lines - one who knows chemistry, biology, physics, etcetera They are looking for one person to do many jo~" Maglen said. o

Bill seeks freedom for high school press

Richard Sclbelll Jr. Managing Editor

Colorado high schools that, in the past, have denied their students complete freedom of the press, may soon be losing the privilage of censorship.

In a 20-15 vote, the State Senate pushed House Bill 99 on to the House Judiciary Committee, and one step closer to approval.

The bill settles the dust stirred by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1988 Hazelwood decision. In that case, it was decided that a school administrator has the right to censor publish­able material if he or she can prove any educational purpose for such an action.

"The bill puts us back where we were before the Hazelwood decision, except in some very narrowly specified expression," said Denver attorney Andy Low.

Sen. Pat Pascoe (D-Denver) said at the meeting that she believes if there ever was an opportunity for the government to spread propaganda, it is in the public schools.

In this much-publicized case the principal at Hazelwood East High School in Ohio found two articles in the May 13, 1983 edition of the student newspaper, ''The Spectrum," that he believed would be de­tremental if published. The stories were

pulled at the principal's request. One article reported the experiences that

three students were having with their preg­nancy, and the second focused on the effects of divorce on students at the school.

"I think this was a poor decision and not well thought out," Low said.

The controversial ruling in the Hazelwood case came in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's Tinker decision. In that case, the court found it unconstitutional to keep a student from wearing a black armband.

Expressions which are obscene under state law, or harmful to children, as well as libel and slander or invasion of privacy, are all prohibited under the legislation.

Sen. Terry Considine (D-Cberry Hills), the only senator to oppose the bill, did not believe that was enough.

"It isn't the right to free speech, it is the right to a megaphone," Considine said.

Don Ridgeway, executive director oftbe Colorado High School Press Association, .. was quick to respond to McCormick's concerns. Ridgeway suggested that, to achieve more freedom, the schools have to make some sacrifice.

"Those three points cover an awful lot of sins," Ridgeway said. o

Mac Ii nes lengthen Michael de Yoanna The Metropolitan

With a growing number of students using the Macintosh computer labs, controversy bas arisen over some lab policies.

The few Macintosh computers in West Classroom Rooms 243 and 246 are in high demand by Metro students and faculty.

Six Macintosh computers are available during the day to Metro students, and another 20 are available only when a class is not in session.

There are four labs with IBM-compatible computers in West Classroom Rooms 241, 242, 244, and South Classroom Room 132, but the computers do not have laser-printers. There are only two letter-quality printers in West Classroom Room 244.

"I appreciate the Mac's superior word­processing abilities," said Metro student Sheila Weber, a 22-year-old journalism major. ''They are easier to work with and the laser printer makes better copies than most typewriters."

A computer science major, Alice Schwantz, said that, because of the old-style dot-matrix printer in the IBM labs and the difficulty in getting to a letter-perfect printer, she would rather use the Macintosh lab.

Metro's Director of Academic Computing Resources Melvin S. Langshaw said he was working on a solution to the problem of too many students for too few Macintosh com­puters. He said there is no set amount of money alloted to the labs each year, but $500,000 is usually necessary to update the equipment.

Langshaw said his office is doing its best to meet the growing demand for the Macintosh computers.

There will be a new Macintosh lab in the Science Building by the fall '90 semester. But Langshaw said that students could still

expect to wait in line during busier times of the semester.

The best way to avoid the crowds is to get to the lab as close to opening time as possible, said Ken Doggett, a 24-year-old chemistry major.

"That way, when the Soviet-style queuing starts, you'll be the first in line," Doggett said.

A student lab employee, Gina Zimmerman, said that questions about the wait-list policy compound the problem of the Macintosh scarcity.

"There is a one-hour time limit on the use of a computer when people are waiting. Marketing 311 students are the only students with a priority on the wait list, and these students can access a computer as if they were first on the wait list. Marketing 311 students, however, can only use this privelege during certain times which are posted in the lab," Zimmerman said.

Marketing 311 is an advertising class. But a 26-year-old political science major,

Thorstein Reinke, said that many lab em­ployees do not stick to the policy.

Reinke said he signed his name to the wait-list sheet and waited inside the lab while people returned up to three hours later, after they signed the sheet, to demand the use of a computer.

Other lab employees said they were not aware of what the policy was. There is no official sign posted in the lab.

Zimmerman said that a sign should be posted and that students should wait at the lab until their name is called so employees do not have to search for missing people and other students do not have to wait to see if someone is going to be there or not.

Langshaw said be is investigating the wait list problem, but made no comment on possible solutions. D

February 16, 1990 '1 METROPOL~AN 'Wildcat' parking faces extinction MANZANILLO

MEXICO BAREFOOT

HOTEL Eric Hobart The Metropolitan

One of the final refuges for "wildcat" parking has been declared off limits, and Auraria students determined to dodge park­ing fees will have to hunt a little harder.

Employees ofThe Denver and Rio Grande Railroad slipped white circulars under the windshield wipers of cars parked on the dirt lot north ofthe Walnut Street Viaduct Feb. l 3. The circulars warned that. vehicles parked on the lot, which is owned by Rio Grande, will beticketedasofFeb.15. The same day, no-trespassing signs were also posted along the lot's boundaries.

"We've tried all along to keep people from parking down there," said Terry Hud­son, assistant to the director of claims and services for Rio Grande. He said the crack­down is a result of Rio Grande's long­standing policy of strict no-trespassing en­forcement and concern over liability.

"If someone parks down there and some­body comes along and tears his car up, the owner might come looking to us," Hudson said. "Hopefully the word will spread and there won't be many tickets issued."

This is the second time the lot, bordered by W azee and Fifth streets, has been posted, Hudson said. The first time the signs didn't last two days, he said.

Metro sophomore Lance Garretson's car was one of almost 500 tagged with the warnings. He said he opted for the renegade lot in frustration over the lengthy wait for sanctioned parking before his morning class.

"Considering the fact that, when I got here, the line of cars waiting for parking to open up in the other lots was ridiculous, it's kind of unfair," Garretson said. "They'll sit there, seven or eight cars deep, waiting for the next space to open up. But it's their property ... "

First-time parking poacher Alan Guerry, an MSC senior, didn't need Tuesday's warning to shun the lot. His car was boxed in, he said, and he had to wait five hours for one of the offending cars to leave before he could drive away.

"I thought I'd save a buck and park in

here," Guerry said. "But never again." Determined wildcatters can still park free

in a smaller lot across W azee Street from the Rio Grande property next to the KDVR building. But probably not for long.

"Anybody who parks there parks at their own risk," said Howard Fields, Denver Realty broker handling the property. He said the owners may decide to follow Rio Grande's lead and post no-trespassing signs.

The warnings have proven effective. At 9 a.m. Wed., Feb. 14, only 79 cars were parked in the lot, filling about one fifth of the space. Usually, cars pack the lot at that hour. o

1:1 THE •It METROPOLITAN

Fit To Be Tied By John C. Roper

Today's quiz: What's the difference between Broncos' wide receiver

Vance Johnson and "Rocky Mountain News" sports columnist Teri Thompson?

A) Johnson has been accused of physical abuse by three women

B) Thompson had been charged with felony pos­session of cocaine

C) News stories about Johnson's ALLEGED wife beating are on the front page

D) Thompson's ARREST has been buried by the News

E) All the above It's time the editors of the "Rocky Mountain News"

'fess up and admit that they're not exhibiting balanced reporting.

On Feb. 4, the "Rocky" kicked off a news series on wife beating called "Men Who Beat Women." This is a newsworthy topic and well worth the space that was dedicated to it. Newspapers are often cast into important roles. One of these is to inform the public about dangers that lie within our society. But instead of focusing on the travesty of wife beating, the "Rocky" chose to cheat its readers and center on Vance Johnson.

The Feb. 4 issue had a full front-page picture of Johnson and his ex-wife, Angela, to lead off the series on wife beating. Something tells me that if the "Rocky" nad been doing a series on cocaine, Teri Thompson's picture wouldn't have graced the cover.

Thompson was arrested Jan. 31 after police were issued a no-knock warrant for the home of John Dziki, a suspected drug dealer and long-time acquaintance of Thompson's whom she was visiting. Cocaine worth approximately $800 was found in her possession.

The key here is that there is concrete evidence against Thompson. Thompson was arrested. Thompson is a local celebrity as is Vance Johnson. Johnson is a Denver Bronco. Thompson is a journalist and employee of the "News." Thompson's story ran on about page 20. Johnson got more ink than Noriega.

Johnson is innocent until proven guilty. So is Thompson.

Thanks to our Constitution, we ARE innocent until proven guilty. That's why the "News" says it's still paying Thompson's salary.

If they are going to use tabloid theatrics intended for inquiring minds, the least they can do is be balanced about it - if Johnson goes on page one, so should Thompson.

Yes, three women that Johnson had been intimate with said that he was abusive. One even has a picture of her~elf with a black eye that she alleges Johnson gave her (Johnson claimed that it's a birthmark).

Johnson denies all of the allegations. Thompson has remained silent. The fo_otball star was never arrested or charged. In

fact, according to a Feb. 13 article in the "News," "Five police reports filed between Dec. 1986 and Nov. 1988 chronicle domestic disturbances at Johnson's home and a nearby relative's home where his ex-wife said she would go to escape. In each instance, police said the parties showed no visible injuries and his ex-wife did not want him arrested."

I'm not saying either Thompson or Johnson is guilty - that's for our legal system to decide. But, by placing Johnson's picture under the caption "Men Who Beat Women," it sounds as though The Vance has been tried and convicted. Thompson has been given a fair shake by all of the Denver media. "Innocent until proven guilty," they say.

Except when it isn't convenient.

LETTERS Foam cups will cost students Editor,

I read with interest the report about CoPIRG's inter­action with the Food Service Advisory Group in the Feb. 2 issue of The Metropolitan. As I expected, CoPIRG provided minimal information to assist the food service in being responsible to environmental concerns.

I present the following from a background of 25 years working in the food service busines, the last 13 years as a regional operations director for a fast food company.

There are presently two companies making paper products from 100 percent recycled postconsumer waste including napkins and towels. They are Tagson and Fort Howard. Both companies' products are avail­able in the Denver area.

There are also two companies that are making (plastic foam] cups without CFCs or HCFCs. These producers are using other inert gases for the formatior.

of the cup or a weaving process. These two companies are HandiKup and Thompson. A third company, Dart Industries, should begin manufacturing [plastic foam] cups without CFCs in the near future. Again all of these products are available in the Denver area. I might also add that Mobil, along with several other producers of [plastic foam) products, is developing a process to recycle [plastic foam). There is a video available ex­plaining the process and the progress of this project.

I believe that giving a choice of paper or [plastic foam] will increase cost due to reduced quantities purchased of each item and, as the graph in The Metropolitan indicated, paper products are three times as expensive as foam products. Either of the above will result in the students paying a higher cost for the food they purchase.

CoPIRG funding shady Editor,

I'm responding to your article on Co Pl RG in the Nov. 10, 1989 issue of The Metropolitan. I'm a student at Colorado State University and also displeased with CoPIRG's funding system. Last year I did some research on CoPIRG and thought you might like to know what I found out.

At this time, CoPIRG is on three college campuses -Colorado State University, The University of Northern Colorado, and Metropolitan State College. The amount of money taken in at CSU is more than $40,000 per semester, with only about 30 percent of that money actually used on campus. Where does this money go?

To start, CoPIRG appears to be an organization rL•n by students, but in reality, it's run by paid staff peop1e placed on campuses by a state board in Denver. These staif people and the state board salaries are paid by the $3 fee assessed each student every semester. CoPIRG also has a salaried lobbyist at the State Capitol. As far as I can find out, these lobbyists are ineffective. What they do is look at the roster of bills coming up for debate on the House and Senate floors and talk to a few of their supporters. When the bill passes, they come back to the campus and act like they had influence on what the bill said. In other words, they only pick bills that they feel will pass. Another CoPIRG victory!

How did CoPIRG get on our campus? In 1984 they were voted off by the students. In 1987, they were voted

back o n, but with an exception unknown to the students who voted for them. Only a small percentage of students vote in campus elections (fewer than 5 percent). Another CoPIRG constitution, submitted to the student senate, now requires a majority vote of the student body to vote them off campus. I found out that (PIRGs) in general is a national political organization based in Washington, D.C. and are on numerous campuses across the country, mainly on the East Coast. In Massachusetts, for example, they control whole student governments, collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Another note, Colorado students send money to the PIRG national office.

In the last six months, I have tried to get a more detailed idea of CoPIRG's finances, but to no avail. I call their office in Denver and ask for a copy of their audit and they say that they will send one to me, but I never get it. I feel that an organization who collects money from the students should be able to supply this infor­mation to us. Another thing I found out is that CoPIRG has a $80,000 cash reserve in a bank account in Denver collecting interest.

There cou ld be a lot more said here, but I hope that I could be of some assistance to you with these examples. I feel that tuition and student fees are high enough and that we are taxed another $3 to support a political special interest group that students have no control over is sad indeed.

Extra cost of paper more than worth it Why shouldn't we use [plastic foam]? After all, it's

cheap, it keeps our coffee warm and makes great plates. The alternatives are just too expensive and if it

,· was really that bad, wouldn't our elected representatives take care of the problem. And the scientists would cry foul. How much harm can one little [plastic foam] cup do anyway?

So what's the problem? [Plastic foam] or Polystyrene exacerbates a whole slew of environmental problems. [Plastic foam] contains CFCs (chloroflourocarbons) or HCFCs (hydrocholorflourcarbons) both of which .eat away at the ozone layer, our protectibnJfrom the sun's harmful ultra-violet rays. CFCs and parbon tetra­chloride, a chemical used to make.CFCs a.re also two of the "greenhouse gases" that appear to be major contributors to our mounting solid waste crisis. The fact is, that [plastic foam] is a luxury we can no longer live with.

There is no denying that [plastic foam]. in the short term, is cheaper than its alternatives. On the average, [plastic foam) food service products are about three cents less per item than their paper counterparts. So, what are the financial implications of switching to paper products? Using a paper plate will caus~ you to pay two cents more for that chicken chimichanga you've got your eye on. It means you might pay four cents more for a cup of coffee. Ask for glassware and you pay nothing extra, bring your own coffee cup you save your pennies.

So you're still not thrilled about having to pay more. Okay then, let's talk about long term costs. Scientists have theorized about the effects of the loss of our ozone layer for quite some ti me now. But the issue really came to the forefront in the mid-'80s when a hole in the ozone the size of the continental U.S. was discovered over Antarctica. Resulting studies have shown that the hole has returned for every year since that time, it sticks around for longer now and is getting bigger. But the hole doesn't just go away when winter is over, it just spreads out, a lot like watering down beer. The result is a global loss in ozone, a loss which scientists predict now amounts to three percent worldwide.

Take into account 20,000 additional cases of skin cancer for every one percent of the ozone lost and it starts to get costly. Scientists say we could lose up to 25 percent of the ozone during the next century, that's half a million additional cases of skin cancer, not to mention other health effects like increasing numbers of cataracts. The depletion of the ozone will also have adverse effects on our crops and lead to the destruction of marine life by destroying phytoplankton at the bottom of the marine food chain. Greenhouse gases let the sun's ultraviolet light into

our atmosphere and then trap the heat reflected by the earth. The result is increased olobal temoeratures. Scientists have aleady detected a 1 F increase in temperatures and predict that within the next 60 years or so we will see average temperatures between 4 and

9 F higher. Six of the 10 warmest years on record were recorded in the 1980s. CFCs and carbon tetrachloride, both used to make [plastic foam] contribute to the greenhouse effect, which could have such drastic implications as crop failure and expanding deserts. Sea levels would also rise leading to flooding in,roany costal areas and many plants and ar1imals Will face extinction.

Considernowthat [plastic foam) is non-recyclable. It is estimated that by 1994 half of all cities in the U.S. will have run out of landfill space. Waste disposal rates have already surpassed $100 per ton in eastern regions of the U.S., making landfilling an increasingly expenisve option.

World leaders, aware of the severe implications which CFCs and other harmful gases have on our environment tiave called for the elimination of these gases by the year 2000. The use of [plastic foam] has environmental costs which are unacceptable, so it's time we take action.

Vote against environmental degradation with your pocket book. Buy products which are reusable and recyclable, avoid those that aren't. Refuse to use [plastic foam).

If you want more information about [plastic foam] and how it affects our environment stop by the CoPIRG office in room 341 of the Student Union or call 556-1537.

Metro eyes radio station for campus Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

A proposal to start a radio station on Auraria Campus is being tackled by two enterprising MSC technical communication students.

Ron Montoya and David Dibbern, with the assistance of Karen Krupar, associate professor of speech at Metro, are preparing to make a presentation to the MSC ad­ministration and in mid-March to Carl Johnson, chair of the department of speech.

Dibbern said that the call letters for the proposed station will be KMSC. It will be an FM station with a 20 watt capacity, receivable within a six-mile radius of campus.

"I spent a lot of my own time and money, writing letters and making phone calls to all of the local Denver radio stations asking for any type of contributions they can afford, such as used equipment, albums or broad­casting professionals who are willing to give us some of their valuable time to get us on our feet with the station," Dibbern said.

The station, if approved, would serve MSC, CU-Denver and CCD, and would provide a free-form music and educational programming format. It would also inform

students of school events, meetings and concerts and announce which parking lots may be full, street closings and accident reports as well as class cancellations.

Montoya and Dibbern are not sure where the station might be located. Although there is space and equipment already on campus, students use it for audio class projects, and it would be difficult to fit a radio program in.

"I think there's space on campus for us to start the station, if it's passed, and enough broadcasting students on campus are willing to run it, but the major barrier we've come up against is money to fund it," Montoya said.

Having a radio station on campus is an appealing idea for students, but it would require funding and might entail a minor hike in student fees if passed, unless funding is allocated, Dibbern said. MSC student David Dibbern has spent a lot of time and money trying to

In a meeting, Mon., Feb. 12 with Johnson, Krupar and associate professor of speech, Jim Craig, the possibility of having a campus radio station and its benefits were discussed.

start a radio station on campus. Craig expressed his concerns about ad­

ministration's pos.sible problems with funding and allocation space for the project.

"I hope that the proposal is viewed openly and positively for approval. It's only one of many communication devices that urbanizes students and local citizens together. It's a redefinition of a communication source and I believe a radio station run by our students is the answer," Krupar said.

A possible survey of CCD, CU-Denver and MSC students to get feedback concerning negative and/ or positive input on the pro­posed radio station and its possible effect on student fees was discussed by the group.

Johnson said that if students expressed enough interest and positive feedback re­garding the radio station, it could have a greater chance of becoming a real possibility for Auraria students. o

Metro cheerleaders get no respect Richard Sclbelll Jr. Managing Editor

7:00 a.m. is nothing to cheer about -especially in the winter.

But for the seven women who make up Metro's noisiest varsity team, that time of the morning has become a virtual routine.

Underfunded (more specifically - not funded) yet zealous, the cheerleaders remain Metro's least recognized athletes. And if you have not been to a men's or women's basketball game lately you may not have recognized them either.

"It is considered a varsity sport, but we do not get any funding - no scholarships," said Anne McKelvey, the associate director of campus recreation.

However, last year, the team received approximately $1,000 which they used to purchase the uniforms they still wear this year and, according to team spokesperson Lisa Pollock, "will probably be wearing next year."

But old uniforms or not, the Metro

cheerleading squad bas high-jumping ex­pectations.

"I think if the basketball team does as well as it looks like it's going to, then you will see cheerleading become serious," McKelvey said. "Next year, the basketball team will get more recognition and it will have a domino effect."

And the domino effect could be just what they need if they plan to compete with other Division II, fourteen person teams with big­buck budgets which include scholarships.

McKelvey said it is the national cheer­leading competitions that bring the school recognition, and the team financial support, but the Metro team "does not have the skill level" to compete in them, she said.

"We have a high turnover - to be competitive you have to have a squad that has been together for a few years," she said.

Skill may very well be one obstacle standing in the way, but Pollock said she believes that a lack of men may very well be the biggest.

"I would like to see a co-ed squad by next year," Pollock said.

"[Right now] we cannot compete with other universities."

Despite not receiving any funding, the cheerleaders do receive one credit-hour a semester for their efforts.

"I just learned that we have been reduced to club status from varsity," Pollock said, wondering if, with the switch, they will still be getting credit.

''They are still varsity status," McKelvey said "After we did not receive funding this year, we (Bill Helman, Metro's athletic director, and McKelvey) thought we should reduce to club status." However, McKelvey said she learned that such a move would not get them the funding she was looking for so they have remained a varsity sport.

"They belong over in varsity sports, even with no funding," McKelvey said. ''They are not a club sport."

With a severe lack of recognition, what keeps them going?

Pollock said she believes that, with the limited social life that Metro provides, cheer­leading is a positive way to meet new people.

Even at seven in the morning. o

Tenure - trompg.5-"rrhere is] the trustees' handbook and

then we have an institutional handbook," Friot said.

"The trustees' handbook sets out broad guidelines and then our institutional hand­book develops more specific policies and procedures. But, it has to be done in con­junction with what the trustee's handbook says," she said.

The trustees' handbook is published by the State Board of Trustees that presides over Metro State, Adams State, Mesa State and W estem State colleges.

Each year, all faculty are evaluated in terms of their teaching performance, their professional development and their service.

"When we are talking about probationary faculty, those who do not have tenure, the decision is made whether they are going to be rehired for each year," she said

Doris Cost, chair of the School ofBusin~ Promotion and Tenure Committee said, "If they (probationary faculty members) were already in their 3rd year, they could put in for tenure if they wanted to, or they could wait for the 4th or 5th year. But, as soon as the people have reached that 5th year, it will be automatic. They may not get tenure until five years."

Applying for tenure requires the prepara­tion of a dossier, which includes the faculty member's student evaluations, peer evalua­tions, chair evaluation, self-evaluation and a resume.

However, Larry Johnson, dean of Letters,

At Metro, there are two handbooks listing specific requirements for tenure, promotion and retention of faculty members.

"The applicant must prove they have broadened their knowledge and are applying to their courses what they are learning professionally, as well as committee work," Cost said.

Cost said she believes that much of the confusion surrounding the decision o~ whom to approve for tenure was based on the administration's feeling that publication was an important consideration for tenure.

"I think everybody on the (School of Busin~) committee bas this feeling of. 'what is top administration going to do if we put someone forward who doesn't have any publications?' " she said

"We decided to ignore it because we've got to judge these people on what is in these dossiers and follow the handbook. And what goes on after it leaves us, at the dean's level and president's level, is not our prob­lem," she said.

"We did our best to go by the policy set forth in the (faculty) handbook and that was difficult because it is a little l~ than clear," Cost said.

The criteria by which faculty members are evaluated for tenure are also being revised. They will be finished later this spring. o

Workshop dispels media

.. myths Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

Media advertising plays an important role in the survival of any busine$, but small busines.5e5 and non-profit organizations in particular can benefit from enhanced com­munication through media channels. There's a club at Metro working hard to bring the two sides together.

Metro Connections '90, a club formed to "bring information to the community," began as part of a clas.5 taught by Karen Krupar of the Metro speech department. In the class, students were to actively participate in the organization and planning of an entire ma­naging conference. The results of their efforts

- can be seen Fri. Feb. 23, in "Demystifying the Media," which will focus on the needs of small busines.5e5 and non-profit organiza­tions.

-.

"It's been a lot of work, but a fabulous experience," said Sabra Brick, a speech communications major and director of this year's conference. Krupar, she said, has conducted identical workshops at the Uni­versity of Washington and Washington State University. Both were extremely suc­Ce$ful.

There are 12 people in Metro Connections '90, which started last November. The club members all have various majors, but most are in speech or technical communications, Brick said.

She said that the organi:z.ational and promotional knowledge she and the others have gained through the experience has been invaluable.

"Going to class is one thing, but putting it to practice and actually doing it is completely different. We learned how to handle ourselves profe$ionally, and if you can't do that, you lose all credibility."

She said that she and the other members of Metro Connections '90 had to start from scratch, contacting all of the speakers them­selves, and putting their promotional plan together for the event.

"It's like ... putting together a vision -and filling in a million details. It must be very organized."

Chris Seifert, organizational communica­tions major, echoed Brick's sentiments, and mentioned one thing that they both agreed upon - the valuable friendships that evolved from working together as a team.

For Seifert, it was also a lesson in group dynamics. "It taught me how to negotiate. We had to organize ourselves." She said that none of them had ever worked on a project of this size before.

Chris was in charge of arrangements for "Demystifying the Media," which included all site set-up for the speakers. Was it difficult to accommodate each speaker's needs? "Yeah, for instance - one person wants a chalkboard, two want VCR's, two want easels." She said that she appreciates the experience because, although she doesn't know if she'll ever have to write a pre$ release after graduating, she's glad that she

"Demystifying the Media" will feature local television news anchors Mike Lande$ and Madeline McFadden. The conference includes three workshop sessions, with three speakers each session.

Reggae ~festival draws350

Teresa Lenway Features Editor

Reggae Fest '90, sponsored by CU-Denver Events, drew a crowd of approximately 350 students to St. Cajetan's Center, Thursday

, evening, Feb. 8. TitXlyes, dread-locks and rainbows of

rasta hats adorned the throng that danced to the lively reggae rhythm.

The concert began with Tony Brown's solo guitar and escalated from there.

Ipso Facto, the featured band out of

Disrobed, Dr. Ju Ju Jams.

Minneapolis, came to Auraria after beating out 21,000 other bands for the honor of being "The World's Best Unsigned Band."

Although the event was titled Reggae Fest, Ipso Facto uses a multitude of styles in addition to reggae.

"Reggae is the basis," said guitarist Tommy Blade, "but we won't necessarily play only reggae."

The music combined the reggae beat, blues guitar and bass lines, jazz saxophone

and thoroughly modern synthesizer sounds with absolute effectiveness.

"About 85 percent of what we play is original," Blade said. "We do some covers - like a reggae version of (The Beatles') Blackbird."

On stage, Wain Mcfarlane (vocals), brother Ju Ju (bass) and Blade, backed by a third brother, Greg (drums), Jose James (saxophones and bongos) and Lisa Kreiger (keyboards), interacted expertly with the audience.

Wain, Ju Ju and Blade dominated the stage with synchronired choreography, draw­ing the audience in with their energy, show­manship and social commentary.

Transitions between songs were rapid, so that the momentum had no opportunity to descend.

As the audience's energy was nearing a climax, Wain began yelling, "Calling Dr. Ju Ju!" Ju Ju shed his trench coat revealing knee-length, black spandex pants, black cowboy boots and gold chains that glistened on his broad, bare chest.

Blade burst into a Hendrix-style guitar ntt and Ju Ju took up the vocals; an islander's accent magically appeared in the midwest native's voice.

The band maintained its red-hot energy level throughout the almost two-hour show ... then came back for an encore.

Blues oozed from Blade's guitar for a piece that worked its way into a mellowed version of "Voodoo Child." A brief pause ushered in an unbridled version of the tune that Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaug~an would have fought over for credit.

The music spiraled back down and Wain addressed his sweat-drenched audience:

"The third stone from the sun is the only one. If we don't save the rain forest, we'll have nothing left ... "

Kim Greeno, assistant director of CU-

Waln and Ju Ju rock some reggae •

Denver Events, said that she was very pleased with the response the concert received from the students.

"It was a lot of work," Greeno said. "But when you come here and ~all these people having so much fun, it makes it all worth it."

The $5 admission fee for MSC or CCD students was a bargain considering the performances of Tony Brown and Ipso Facto, and certainly a fabulous bargain for CU-Denver students who got in free with an I.D. D

'Stanley and Iris' emotional rollercoaster Kirt Ace Begler The Metropolitan

An inventive illiterate, a working widow and a behind-the-scenes look at a bakery blend for a mix of relationships and messages in the MGM release "Stanley and Iris."

The Martin Ritt film is based on the novel "Union Street" by Pat Barker and stars Jane Fonda as Iris, and Robert DeNiro as Stanley. The movie is set in the fictitious New England town of Laurel, and follows the lives of none other than Stanley and Iris.

This film does not waste time in beginning the relationship between the two main characters. In fact, during the first scene of the movie, Iris is riding the bus on her way home from work when a mugger grabs her purse and exits the bus. Infuriated, Iris dashes after the assailant only to be aided by Stanley. They wind up in an alley after having lost the thief, and SMACK ----<:0ntact is made.

The story continues with several other chance meetings ofthe two, until finally, as Iris puts it, "You know what I think ... I think you and me are getting to be friends."

However, the relationship is strained early in the picture when Iris discovers that Stanley is illiterate and tells his boss. His boss, fearing possible health hazards and eventual lawsuits, fires him from his job as a cook at the bakery. Unable to find substantial work to support his father and himself: Stanley puts his father in a home for the aged

The point at which his father dies, shortly after being placed in the home, becomes the major turning point of the film. Stanley realizes he needs to learn to read and write.

Of course, as one would guess, the gripping moment when Stanley asks for Iris' help, it is pouring rain and Iris is closed off from him by the doors of a bus.

Iris, of course, is facing domestic problems of her own, too many in my opinion. First, her out-of-work sister, Sharon, (Swoosie Kurtz) and brother-in-law, Joe, (Jamey Sheridan) have moved in with her. At what point they move out is beyond this viewer's eyes but they do leave.

Secondly, Iris must deal with the news that her teenage daughter is pregnant To top it all off, Iris is still dealing with the loss of her husband, just eight months prior. Nevertheless, she agrees to be Stanley's tutor.

Of course, most viewers at this point would have guessed that the two become closer and eventually fall in love. The romance makes for some very touching and very comedic scenes. One such scene is in a hotel room and, during their lovemaking Iris begins to cry over the loss of her husband Stanley, at wit's end, comments that even if they are physically two people in the bed, actually there are three. Guess you had to be there to get the humor.

At this point, if the viewer is not confused, it's a miracle. The story is doing a com­mendable job with helping the illiteracy cause, but it is much too choppy. It jumps from week to week and then month to

J smart ways to help pay for college.

Here's how the Army Reserve Alternate Training Program can help you pay for college.

I THE MONTGOMERY GI BILL I If qualified, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you

with up to $5,040 for current college expenses.

I STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT I If you obtain a qualifying student loan, you can get it

paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater- up to a maximum of $10,000. Selecting certain specialty training can increase the maximum to $20,000.

I PART-TIME INCOME I And here's how you can make even more part-time

money while in college. Take Basic lraining one sum­mer. The next summer, complete skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,250 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll train with your Army Reserve unit near college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll earn over $85 a weekend to start.

This could be the smartest way to get the money you need for college.

month without ever warning the audience. The viewer is left to assume how much time has passed - bad move. By the middle of the movie, when Stanley's father dies, the audience doesn't know whether the ailing man has been in the home for two days or for two months.

The film is also too predictable. This is another one of those fairytale theme stories - they meet, fall in love and live, pretty much, happily ever after. Or an education rags-to-riches story. Whatever the angle, the audience gets it from scene one.

So, for a night with a lot of emotion and a • little fun, ''Stanley and Iris" fits the bill. A · film that director Martin Ritt shows is simple-yet-elaborate - much like one of his other credits, "Nonna Rae."

Although the film is predictable and confusing, the performances save it. But what else would one expect from such

8-bal I _,back in top 5 David 0. Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two. The countdown (or should it be countup?) to Springfield, Ill., is 011-

Springfield is where the NCAA Division II final four is being held this year and the numbers represent the last three victories in the Metro State men's basketball team's eight-game winning streak.

The Roadrunners beat Western State College 90-61 on Wed., Feb. 7, Regis 74-60 on Fri., Feb. 9 at DU, and Chaminade (Hawaii) 99-73 on Sun., Feb. 11.

All of that adds up to a 22-2 record and a ride up the rankings. Metro returned to the number two spot in the latest NCAA Division

)... II poll, a position they haven't enjoyed since January 18 when they were knocked off in overtime by Seattle Pacific University.

Seattle Pacific will be in the Auraria Gymnasium on Sat., Feb. 17 and the Road­runners are revenge-minded.

:.. "We feel we're ready to play that con-ference game Thursday (Feb. 15 against Cal State Univ.-Sacramento)," said Gene Ed­wards, Metro's 6-foot-3-inch senior guard and leading scorer.

Edwards was not willing to look past Sacramento, but did throw in, "I feel we

l owe somebody - Seattle - something." "Conference games," Bob Hull, Metro's

coach said, "if you can't get fired up for them, you can't get fired up."

The Roadrunners had no trouble getting fired up for Chaminade, and their decisive

,. dulling of the Silver Swords epitomized the way they've been winning all year - fast­breaks and pesky defense.

"We knew that this is a team that's used to winning, and a team that's used to playing good people," Hull said, referring to Cha­minade's reputation as giant killers. They beat Ralph Sampson's Virginia team in 1982, although they dropped to 8-14 this year.

The game opened in spectacular style with Ralph Rivers, Metro's 6-foot-3-inch

{ guard, slamming the ball for the early lead. Rivers finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.

But it was a pair of offensive series with about five minutes left that really indicated the way the 'Runners have been playing

~ lately. On the first series, Edwards stole the ball

and pushed it upcourt where he passed off to 5-foot-9-inchjunior guard Adrian Hutt who immediately dished off to a hard-charging 6-foot-7-inch Shun Tillman for a monster

_. ~ slam to end the break. Following a Chaminade layup, Edwards

took an alley-oop pass from Hite and converted with a rim-rattling dunk.

Edwards was fouled on the play and, when he made the free throw, he became

only the third Metro State player to have 1,000 points in his career, joining Tellman and Rich Grosz.

Another milestone was reached on the same play. Hutt broke the season assist record held by Derrick Fuller. The old record was 167 and Hutt now has 170.

In fact, the Roadrunners have been break­ing more records lately than the Parents' Music Resource Center.

They continue to add on to their record­breaking season. Their best season before this was last year when they won their twentieth game on the last outing of the season. This year they got their twentieth on Feb. 7 by wasting Western State.

Also, their home win streak continues to grow. The Chaminade win increased the streak to 23, dating back to December of 1988.

High scorers in the Chaminade game were Edwards, with 18, and 6-foot-9-inch center, Mike Paulsen, also with 18. Paulsen also pulled down nine rebounds.

The big men in the W estem win were Tillman, Metro's second-leading scorer, with 19 points and six rebounds, and River, with 17 points and five rebounds.

"I wanted to be helpful within the team chemistry," Rivers said. And he was. The mixture was just right as the 'Runners handed the Mountaineers their 21st straight loss.

In the 'Runners' routing of the Regis Rangers, it was Edwards who provided the spark, scoring 33 points, grabbing four rebounds, dishing off five assists and stealing seven balls.

It's those kind of numbers that have made Edwards Metro's leading scorer with 20.6 points a game.

The Roadrunners climbed in the standings because of their recent dominance and also because the University ofTampa and Norfolk State, formerly ranked numbers two and three respectively, lost their games on Sat., Feb. 10.

In the latest poll, Tampa dropped to seventh and Norfolk fell to eighth. Ken­tuck:y-W esleyan remains in the top spot, followed by Metro, Virginia-Union, South­west Baptist (Mo.), Central Missouri State and the University of Alaska-Anchorage. o
