Tuition hikes to surpass last year's Legislators' decision to determine exact increase

r" by Margaret A. Dubois

Decisions being made at the state legislature this week will hit the pocket of every college student in Colorado next fall.

Students on the Auraria c~mpus, like .lhose on campuses across the state, can expect academic year 1982-83 tuition in­creases to surpass 1981-82 increases.

This week the state legislature is comT pleting the appropriations or Long Bill. Various higher education officials, ex­~ting increased funding of four to five ~rcent, speculate tuition increases of up to 25 percent.

Based on speculative figures, students at CCD can expect a tuition increase of about three percent for every one per­cent increase in faculty and ad­'i11inistrative staff salaries. MSC and UE::D students can expect an increase of at least 15 ercent.

Jim Weber, director of the state board for community colleges said it's difficult to estimate tuition increases at this point because the l~sl ature has not com­pleted its Long Bill.

When Weber's staff receives final figures from the state legislature it will draw up a recommended budget for CCD-A and the other community col­leges. Weber said tuition will not be voted on until the board meets May 13 and 14. Last year the board increased community college tuitions by 12 per­cent.

John Bliss, vice president for business and finance for the Consortium of State Colleges which governs MSC and Adams State, Mesa and Western State colleges, said the consortium board of trustees will consider tuition hikes when it meets April 29 and 30. Its budget sub­committee will meet the beginning of May to compose its recommendation, he

said. At this time Bliss expects tuition in­

creases of about 15 percent compared to an increase in tuition last year of 121/2 percent.

Though UCO Chancellor Gene Nord­by was not available for comment on this matter, he has said UCO tuition will increase at least 15 percent.

Both Bliss and Weber said the increase of four or five percent expected from the state legislature simply won't cover the increasing uncontrollable costs of higher education.

For example, utility costs systemwide have increased about 30 percent and civil service salaries have increased about 13 percent this year, they said. Bliss noted that transfer costs from the institutions to operate AHEC have in­creased about 12 percent as well.

The costs not met by the legislature

must be met by tuitio,i. "We must take what they (the

legislators) give," Weber noted, "Tui­tion is the only factor that we have the ability to control."

He said the community colleges board is very conscious of the 12 percent tui­tion increase it imposed last year and how it affects students but he said, "We must weigh this with the quality of in­structional material and raises for the faculty."

Neither Weber nor Bliss believe the legislature is picking on higher educa­tion; however.

"The JBC does not have the money," Weber said. "We're convinced higher education was treated as fairly as any other element of state government."

"The state revenue is close to deficit," Bliss said. "There's less funds for expen­diture. Everyone is feeling the pinch."

The recent nullification of MSC stu­dent government elections may be a blessing in disguise for MSC students.

The elections, held April 5-9, were declared invalid by election commis­sioner, Gene Watts, for several reasons. Perhaps the two most overwhelming factors were some students' inability to vote due to an inadequate voter list, and the appearance on the ballot of an ap­parent amendment asking voters whether Coors beer should be served on­campus in The Mission.

.Hews De ROY. foreman case .

Demonstrators beseech Lamm to. intervene by Dan Mathewson

About 25 protestors gathered Satur­day in front of the Governor's Mansion for another attempt to impress- upon Governor Lamm the importance of par­doning or commuting the sentence of

- former UCD student Roy Foreman. The demonstration, led by the Inter­

national Committee Against Racism, was held to convince the governor to act on behalf of .Foreman, who, according to INCAR, is imprisoned unjustly.

"- INCAR representative Doug Vaughan spoke through an address system aimed at the passing cars on East Eighth Avenue in an effort to educate drivers and passengers about the judicial in­tricacies surrounding Foreman's case and conviction.

,,.. _ Foreman was arrested in January of 1979 and charged with first-degree murder with deliberation, first-degree murder while committing a felony, kid­napping, rol;>bery and conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting death of Dale Stubblefield.

• Foreman was tried as a complicitor

(one who aids, abets or advises another .,,, in committing a crime) and conspiring to commit murder.

Foreman was found guilty of both charges and sentenced to life and an ad­ditional 25 to 50 years for conspiracy.

Two weeks- later Robert Shaw-before the same judge-testified at his own trial that he alone shot Stub­blefield. He completely exonerated Foreman of any involvement in the shooting describing Foreman as "a vic­tim and totally blameless."

For unexplained reasons the prosecu­tion dropped the conspiracy charges against Shaw. The jury found Shaw guilty of second-degree murder, meaning ,~ there was no deliberation or premedita- ~ tion when Shaw shot Stubblefield. ~

Barbara Altsher, and IN CAR ~ 0 member, passed out information to ~

motorists stopped at the Logan Street Marchers at Governor's Mansion. traffic light.

Altsher said that no group other than . INCAR, including the ACLU and the

NAACP, will involve itself directly in the Foreman case.

"We're not ready to sit by and watch the judicial system fall apart," Altsher said.

Governor Lamm's position is to watch the judicial system, claiming that a par­don for Foreman would be premature.

''Roy Foreman has spent three years in prison for a crime he didn't commit," Vaughan said. "This is one of the most blatant instances of racism in the judicial system that I've ever seen."

An elderly gentleman who lives in the apartment complex that faces the man­sion on East Eighth Avenue curiously approached to obtain some informa­tionon the demonstration and to speak with those who gathered on the north side of Eighth Avenue. He referred to himself as an inocuous old man who had been in and out of the court system all his life, as a functionary of that system and not as a victim or criminal. He said that the demonstrators ought to try to reach Lamm's wife Dotty because she's a more understanding person that the governor himself.

"Lamm is the only person with the authority to put Roy foreman back on the streets and reunite him with his family," Vaughan said. "We demand some action on the case."

CCD grievance resolution Infrared photos on display 'October: Ten Days that Shook the World' to be shown Tuesday,April 27 continued from page l

spiral downward," Dallas said. "If money being diverted is put toward in­struction, class sizes would go down; we'd have more sections and more enrollment."

Dallas is confident that Smith will ~ decide in favor of the grievance commit­

tee. "My speculation is that we will pro­

bably reach a resolution," Dallas said. "If what Owen proposes as a resolution is 'I will put these costs here and there;' if that is adequate, that's the end of the ,. . " grievance.

Smith's decision comes at a time when many faculty members are still angered over receiving letters informing them of possible layoffs in their departments.

Approximately 30 professors ·in the ~ school of liberal arts received notifica­

tion that they may be laid off from their positions if enrollment did- not increase in their areas.

Rafael H. Mohicja, a philosophy pro­fessor who received a non-renewal letter saying his job was in jeopardy, recently

~ filed a grievance against CCD. According to Mohicja, he was not

given the year notice recommended by the administration about his layoff.

"My statement was that I was discriminated against because I was never told in advance about this

T matter," Mohicja said.

·-

Mohicja said he thinks he was "singled out" because there was overstaffing in other departments where teachers did not receive non-renewal letters.

Mohicja's grievance was settled on April 2 when he received a letter from CCD saying its earlier action had been rescinded and that his position was reinstated.

However, Mohicja expects that he will receive the same letter again this year because enrollment will not reach

. the expected level the administration re­quires.

"I do not really see how things can be saved in such a way that can save our teaching positions,'' Mohicja said. 'Tm not sure they (administration) are giving us enough-time to implement changes to improve our enrollment. They should give us at least one year," Mohicja said.

Mohicja said he talked with the dean of philosophy about of how the depart­ment can be improved. He will be work­ing on projects over the sumJner but because they won't be implemented un­til the fall, enrollment increases will only be based on one semester.

"These are changes that are going to be gradual changes and not dramatic changes,'' Mohicja said.

In response to this statement, CCD-A Vice President Myer Titus explained that this problem has been known by the faculty for quite awhile.

"It didn't just happen yesterday," Titus said. "It's been a continual pro­

. blem." When asked whether he expects

enrollment to increase to a favorable level by next fall, Myer said:

'Tm optimistic and I'm also realistic. I know we can't make students take courses they don't want to take but I do think we en inform them that we have good courses."

Program on South Africa being held April 30 .

The Afro-American Studies Depart­ment will sponsor a program on South Africa on Friday, April 30, 9 am to noon at the InterFaith Center, 2nd floor. The program will feature a speaker from the African National Congress and two films-Nuclear File: South Africa, and South Africa Belongs to Us.

anyone, and less than two weeks before the election, which any amendment re­quires."

Crepeau claims that he was not trying to get away with anything.

"I realized the problem," Crepeau said, "but it was too late to change the ballot."

Crepeau said the Coors item was technically a proposal, not an amend­ment.

"I put the Coors issue on the ballot hoping that MSC students would demonstrate definitively that they don't want Coors on campus," Crepeau said. "Such a vote would have nipped the issue in the bud."

Coors has been a target of the Hispanic community, which alleges Coors' labor policies to be anti-union, sexist and racist. .

"Aside from the issue itself," Crepeau said, "I'm against Coors on campus from a pragmatic level. We don't need the controversy."

The fall election will give people more time to prepare a representative ballot, Sigala said.

"I couldn't believe only 65 people voted," Sigala said. "Apathy is running very high. The election was a farce. The new election will give all the students in-

terested in running a chance to be on the ballot, as well as provide an opportunity for more publicity, better PR and better organization."

Sigala was referring to several poten­tial candidates who claimed they were not aware of the deadline for announc­ing their candidacy. As a result, they did not appear on the ballot.

Crepeau sees the controversy over the election as ultimately good for students and student government.

"While yes, this has caused some pro­blems and, r.es, there is controversy, this has also caused people to be involved," Crepeau said.

Moving the elections to the fall means that Crepeau will be spending his third consecutive summer on campus as presi­dent, a development he did not plan on.

"Even so, the delay represents a plus," Crepeau said. "We can better prepare for the next administration, and I plan to take full advantage of the situation. I'd prefer to be beaten by people who wanted the position than win by default because no one wanted it."

Crepeau believes many people see his job as one full of prestige.

"Actually," Crepeau said, "this is a tough, tedious and generally thenkless job whose rewards lie in the process. Maybe this controversy will produce in­tere5t-that is my primary concern."

Studen~ Body Presidential Report

Temporary reprieve. The students have gotten a temporary reprieve from

what would have been a "due process" procedure for grade appeals which was engineered exclusively by members of the Faculty Senate, with negligible stu­dent input.

The State Attorney General's office issued a Charge to MSC to develop a College Review Board to serve as a review board in hearing cases of grade appeal about a year and a half ago.

The original committee which worked on this pro­ject included two students, an administrator, and two faculty members. It was thought that constituent representation from all concerned parties would eliminate any controversy, and that the product of such a meeting of the minds would be universally ac­ceptable.

This wasn't the case. After establishing a procedure of appeal, a system which included the use of witnesses both for the faculty member and the aggrieved stu­dent, proper documentation, and a sound procedure of appeiil, members of the Faculty Senate found the procedure not to their liking. A second committee was

formed, on an ad hoc basis, which developed its own process of appeal.

I objected to the ad hoc committee upon its forma­tion. I felt that the actions of the original committee which created the first appeal procedure had done the job it was supposed to, had done it in a reasonable way, maintaining a sensitivity to all parties potentially affected by it.

The ad hoc committee, in the formation of its own

appeal procedure, had eliminated the use of witnesses for parties involved, had changed the ultimate product of a decision by the appeal committee, and had totally excluded students from membership on the committee.

I objected to the process· proposal to the Academic Vice President, Stan Sunderwirth, and asked him to delay making any decision on the matter until the new MSC president was in place.

Our new MSC president, Richard Fontera, is well aware of the problem. He made that clear during his interviews for the job. He showed support to the stu­dent view that the Faculty Senate's version of the ap­peal process is inadequate and unfair. I think that the students can count on this man's support in this area. Sigh of relief.

However, as students, you are responsible for mak­ing yourselves known to this college administration, if · you expect to effect any changes.

Fontera said, rightly so, that the representatives in the student government aren't necessarily represen­tative of the interests of.the students. Students need to inform themselves, now more than ever, as to what's going on, so that they can provide informed input to the powers that be.

With the proposed cutbacks in federal financial aid, the territorial mentality held by key state legislators, the silly merger issue creeping into and out of the scene seasonally, and the entire AHEC corporation directing so much of our lives, it is time that we, as a Qodv. str.rted making ourselves heard before our apathetic silence becomes enforced silence.

We, as a collective body, have the potential of being the powers that be. It is through input and involve­ment that we can make a difference; anyone who thinks differently is tragically naive.

The grade appeal issue is one of many which can and will affect all students. It is our responsibility to keep ourselves informed and involved, before the rug is pulled out from under us, on this and many other issues.

If you share my concern, make it known. Write to Stan Sunderwirth, Box 48, or call him at X3040. He's there to hear us, and to represent our needs. ,But-he _.. won't act in our interest until our interest is made known to him.

Help for minority business students available .. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a

warm welcome to all students from the Association of Minority Business Students. To those of you not familiar with the Association, we are a recognized on

campus organization, geared toward lending a helping hand to all minority students seeking a degree in the School of Business. From application for admission to graduation agreements and job placement, our sup­port system can help clear that often "cluttered" path.

Among the events that we have scheduled for the spring are the Second Annual Raffle and the First An­nual Business Job Fair to be held at St. Cajetan's Center Tuesday, April 6, 1982 from 11 am to 7 pm. The fair is open to all students and alumni on the Auraria Campus. This event will allow the students to

meet with company representatives to discuss future employment opportunities. Representatives from the following types of industries will be in attendance: Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Insurance, Financial In­stitutions, Government Agencies, and other business related fields.

For more information on these and our other ac­tivities please either drop by our new office located in room 253 of the Student Center or attend one of our monthly meetings. Our next scheduled meeting will be on April 14th at five pm in room 254 of the Student Center. Though we are particularly concerned with helping to overcome the difficulties of the minority business student, our meetings are always open to any and all who would like to attend.

'Don't': a comic-book look at people control

by Bob Sekula

Jon Walter has put together a play of important ideas that has fun-at the ex­pense of modern society.

"Don't" is a musical comic-strip of shifting scenes, songs and images in the life of Icarus Mallard, an "average per-· son."

The humorous story, written and directed by Walter, an MSC theater in­structor, plays on the prevalence of the 'don'ts' in our world. Simple comic-book costumes and choreography add to the whimsical yet revealing dialogue.

Pleasant songs, with music written by MSC student Dave Mejira, keep the play flowing and help set the tone. Most of the performers play several parts.

The importance lies in the play's guiding notion of the ways we are con­trolled by each other and the 'powers that be' in today's world.

It's a notion with a long history. For instance, in the 1930's · Ignazio

Silone wrote a book called Bread and Wine, about an Italian revolutionary named Pietro Spina who tried to organize peasants to overthrow the brutal fascism keeping them in poverty and misery. Pietro found ignorance and superstition everywhere and a religious faith holding people subservient; in awe of higher powers and divorced from their own. The poor put all hope in an afterlife and treated problems in their lives as destiny- pains to be born, not struggled against and changed.

The religious leaders were in league with the government and property owners and the maintenance of crude superstition served their purposes well, preventing rebellious notions. Pietro is continually frustrated and finally," hunted and alone, he dies.

Things have changed, somewhat.

, We have less outright fascism now but systematic control of the populace exists nonetheless. "Don't" shows these restric­tive aspects of our society well.

The play opens with a couple wat­ching TV (the stage action) from the back of the audience and changing channels. They come upon Icarus

(played by Tom Oliver) being reluctant­ly expelled from the womb, born into the TV show "T-he Standard American Family." His equally reluctant parents (Paul Wompler and Rachel Jones) don't know what to do with him.

Icarus is led through comical scenes of growing up. He is indoctrinated into the absolute "average normal," a passive product of absurdly contradictory parents, school, friends, TV, work and therapy (or "rehabilitation") .

These chiefly serve one purpose: "in­voking the first rule of gover­nance-DON'T." Don't: be yourself; ex­press; rebel; question or really enjoy. Assume your place as cog in absurd self­perpetuating deadness, serving the in­terests of those who are themselves vic­tims but still maintain it all; faithful buyers, sellers and observers of something they've lost all grip on.

Anxiety over violating 'don'ts' leaves guilt everywhere. Icarus is told you sell your line by playing on this guilt. But he can't quite get into it. In fact, he par­ticipates in nothing.

Constantly barraged, Icarus never gets a chance to even want anything dif­ferent .. . except for some weakly express­ed yearnings for love and to fly away from it all.

Through his play, Walter is im­pressive as a clever social critic who has broken through some of what he writes about and can step back and laugh at it.

But there is a key weakness. When Icarus' only ·spark is a wish to fly away, it is understandable in the face of all the bizarre mystification but still only another type of the .prevalent urge to escape-into drunkenness, food, obsessive consumption, withdrawal or whatever.

"Here in my mind I'll always fly free," he sings.

He despairs at being trapped here- " earth bound."

This looks like more than a wish to ·soar beyond limits. It seems a desperate groping for escape.

Through none of his own doing, Icarus winds up processed right into the United States' presidency. He is the ultimate representative of dazed "nor-

mality." He'd like to get out. The play gives no hint of another way; no hope for friendship or power in the worl_? not apart from it, or common struggle against alienating forces.

This might be too much to press onto the fun-poking "Don't," but in Icarus' .flight the fun almost stops. You feel the pressure pushing him to only wanting to get-the-hell-out. ,

It would feel better to see him, as his mother hopes, "cause some trouble," fight back a little.

Through the dress rehearsal, the ac­ting and singing have been a bit rough and tentative, but there is a certain freshness, innocence and enthusiasm to the "amateur" quality.

There are sprinklings of other sparkles, too. But I've conveyed the idea and not the experience of the play. You should see for yourself.

"Don't" will show at 8 p.m. in Arts 271, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 22-24 and 29 and May I. Call 629-3033 for information.

ea tu re A double-sided Bill Rhodes

believes in discipline and fun by Carson Reed

"Give me a spark o' nature's fire That's a' the learning I d~ire Then, tho I trudge thro dub and mire At pleugh or cart My muse, tho hamely in attire, May touch the heart."

-Robert Burns 'Tm a serious philosophy teacher,

and a serious philosopher," Bill Rhodes said'. Lost in the jungle of books he calls an office, he looks deadly, boringly serious.

"I believe in academic discipline," he says, and the way he says it makes you want to hunt for his name in the summer schedule like you would look for sharkin the surf. Rhodes has a whole slew of degrees and he worked hard for them. He wants you to work hard for yours too.

But sometimes when the universe rolls over on its belly, the moon is up and the rigorous logic of science seems inade­quate to explain us to ourselves, there emerges another Bill Rhodes. This other fellow believes that learning can be fun and he proves it by taking his classes to the mountairis.

No less a teacher, no less a

philosopher, this alter-ego has the wit and presence of mind to perceive the method in madness, and the lessons to be learned are a little different.

They included such lessons as-transforming students into barefoot savages in front of a roaring fire.

Such lessons as early morning yoga instead of coffee, or meditation instead of a cold shower, or a low cry from a soulful blues harp instead of a clanging alarm.

At such times Rhodes becomes a wandering minstrel with a clear message: success is not the product of headlong confrontation. Creativity is the J!bility to look at the world fresh like wide-eyed children.

This pied-piper led 20 students to a secluded mountain fortress where he en­couraged them to cluck like chickens, howl like wounded bear or beep like a Pac-Man machine.

Rhodes brought yoga teacher Marti Belknap to teach philosophy students how to think like a tree, dream like a poet and dance like flotsam and jetsam to the quiet tide of their own heartbeats.

Is this the stuff of philosophy or is this some existential whacko filling minds with anarchy?

Don't bet on it. The class in discussion PHI 390, Creativity and Holistic Theory, and the guy who runs it is still the same slightly intimidating professor, with his slew of degrees and his landslide of books and his organized, logical mind. Anarchy? P-shawl

But inside of this stocky, wispy-haired gentleman lies the heart and soul of a wanderer, minstrel, poet. And he is willing to risk his obviously cultivated and enjoyed reputation as a sage acade­mian to share the fruits of his vagabon­ding with students. That willingness has brought him to the leading edge of the most avant-garde side of education.

Rhodes offers students something they will rarely find at Auraria-a truly ex­pansive, creative approach to learning. He offers an alternative to the kind of specialized analysis that often brings our focus narrower and narrower and nar­rower. "Theory is good," Sigmund Freudsaid, "but it doesn't prevent things from ex­isting." Often the students in our schools learn more and more about less and less. The view that Rhodes shares is more ex­pansive.

"The most efficient mind, is one where the empirical and the intuitive work together," Rhodes says.

"It's just like walking," he says of liv­ing, "It takes two legs." He insists that he is two kinds of teachers because we are two kinds of people.

"What I am doing with these classes is exploring the mind/body problem in depth. The notions of philosophy mingle with those of psychology."

We have to move beyond a tradi­tional, mechanistic view of causes and effects," Rhodes says, "We must con­sider all of our functions as part of a whole."

Rhodes believes there is no mind/body problem in the midst of Tai Chi and Sufi dancing, where the body tells the mind what to cio as much as the reverse. Rhodes did not invent these notions. Much of the personal growth movement of the 60s revolves around these ideas.

Bill Rhodes; Inspirational belly dancing and teaching.

What he hopes to have done, however, is bring academic integrity back to a movement corrupted by its own _ popularity. •

You will be expected to do hard work in Rhodes classes. But the focus of that work is more on who you are than what you have planned to become.

The students of Creativity and Holistic Theory report a unique ex­perience during their weekend at Stonehenge Lodge just outside of Bailey.

"It was like glimpsing the world from Shangri-La," says Deborah Brewer.

"We brought out the best in each other," agrees Lisa Aylesworth who appreciated time away from being "a good student, a good worker, and a good roommate" to just be herself.

"The problem, is how to integrate this new awareness into a plan of ac­tion," says Georgianna "Sam" Short. She says, ruefully, "My world could not be more different from the one we experienced."

Kay Beckham didn't feel that would be a problem:

"The creative problem solving can certainly carry over into my daily life." Julie Fox agrees with her:

"I know that this is only the begin­ning, and I'm anxious to delve even ...

further" into the creativity move­ment.

Most agreed that whether the lessons learned will carry over into their lives or not, it was, as Susie Kelehar said "one heck of an ex­perience."

"I regretted having to leave," Jim Thompson said, "but I was anxious to springboard myself back into reality."

Often the students in the class ex­pressed more value from the personal growth of the weekend than the creativity that the class was meant to bring out. Deborah Brewer had an explanation for this:

"I don't think that most of us usual­ly think of ourselves as creative per­sons. I had trouble relating the weekend to my own daily creative potential." For whatever reason they may have come, for most there was a strong feeling of unity among the group. Jean McGuire summed up the feelings of many:

"I rate it among the peak ex­periences in my life."

Displacement of Auraria residents subject of play The Slightly Off Center Theatre will

present the bilingual musical "El Cor-· - rido de Auraria," a play about families

displaced by the cbnstruction of the Auraria Higher Education Center, from April through May 16.

The play is a collective creation of the Denver-based theater group Su Teatro,

- .,,_- which wrote the dialogue and most of the songs.

Written in 1975, the play depicts the extended family that makes up the neighborhood and the feelings and ex­periences the people go through as their houses are about to be torn down.

advisor of the Public Schools of Oxford­shire, England, will speak on "British

The cast is a mixture of Chicano and Anglo actors and. musicians. The pro­ducers are Mark Gitlis and Yolanda Ortega. Tony Garcia is directing, assisted by Debra Martinez.

Performances are every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Special showings will be held during the week of Cinco de Mayo from Tuesday, May 4 through Sunday, May 9.

Average Aurarian-? hardworking,28 · by James Powers

Abraham Lincoln once said, "The Lord must have loved the common peo­ple, because he made so many of them."

Substitute "student" for "people" and you have an apt description of the average Aurarian. ·

Just what is this average Auraria stu­dent?

According to John Mukavetz, MSC director of Institutional Research, a thumbnail sketch shows the typical MSC student is 28 years old; married or divorced; has one or more children; takes 12 hours per semester; and works full or part-time.

"He or she is also ambitious and up­wardly mobile," said Mukavetz, "and prefers the Rocky Mountain News to . The Denver Post by a two to one margin."

Mukavetz also said MSC students generally drive to school, but they don't carpool. They juggle the several facets of their lives well because of their basic maturity.

About one third work 36 or more hours each week. The number of hours taken usually depends on their curren~ work schedule, availability of classes at certain times, and the amount of coursework and homework.

Of entering students over half work at least 20" hours weekly.

"We're typical of metropolitan com­muter schools," said Mukavetz. "Age is the most significant factor. It allows the students to handle more responsibility."

Males comprise just over 50 percent of the student population. About 40 per­cent go full-time. Nearly 70 percent at­tend daytime classes while almost 25 percent go to class at night. Approx­imately six percent are in programs such as independent study.

Over four-fifths of the MSC students are white, but Mukavetz said data is available for only about 70 percent of the students.

Data for UCD students shows a me­dian age of 27 with males having a slight majority. Over half take less than ten hours each semester.

Percentages of 45 percent of UCD students are married and the same

percentage are single. Eight percent are divorced, while one percent each are separated or widowed.

Nearly 70 percent have no children. While 85 percent work, more than

half are employed 30 h-Ours or more per week.

On the south side of campus, nearly half the CCD students are female, near­ly 40 percent are male, and CCD's Of­fice of Statistical Services says there is no information available on the rest.

Just over half CGD's students are white. As of the end of 1981 the next two largest categories were black - 12.4 percent; and Hispanic - 8.6 percent.

The average CCD course load is just under ten hours. Full-time students sign up for over 15 hours and part-timers take 6.5 hours.

Median age for CCD is 28.4 years of age.

Three fifths of the students attend daytime classes only, one quarter go at night and 14 percent attend both. These last statistics do not include students liv­ing in Aurora.

And what are Aurarians studying? At MSC, liberal arts students are the ma­jority, while business is growing fast.

At UCD, liberal arts also is the .most popular area.

At CCD, just over half of the students are in occupational studies. This in­cludes about 60 programs such as ac­counting, data processing, nursing and paralegal.

Over one quarter are in general studies - specific programs in arts, science or general education. And another one fifth of CCD's students are in general studies, but have not decided on a particular area of study.

Please note that exact comparisons of Auraria students are not possible in all areas because slightly different kinds of statistics are compiled by the three schools.

A visit to Shangri-La . Neon signs catch the eye first. "Shangri-La Motel. Adult Movies.

Vacancy. Carte Blanche. Waterbeds. American Express. Diners Club Interna­tional. Entrance. Exit. Master Charge."

I munch free popcorn in the motel of­fice as I fill in the registration card, resisting the urge to give false informa­tion.

The Master Card form is all numbers. No tell-tale name and address to give away the errant husband, traveling salesman or the insatiously curious.

I turn to leave the office, and, being nervous already', the life-size cardt>oard cut-out of Vampirella on the wall scares the wits out of me.

The motel rooms are identified by let­ter: A to Q. We were in Q. Not the most conducive location. It's ten feet from the incessant traffic of South Santa Fe Drive. I fear that a semi will crash into the room at an inopportune moment.

Inside, the room looks almost like any clean but sleazy motel. It reminds me of

one in Goodland, Kansas-except for the whorehouse red furnishings and ac­companying velvet nude painting on the wall. The mirrored ceiling isn't exactly standard motel fare either.

I didn't ask for a unit with a waterb­ed. It costs extra-and I get seasick. An ordinary king-size bed gave me enough romping room.

No Gideon Bible. No dresser in which to stow clothes._No need. Few occupants bring luggage. And clothes are easier to find when they've been passionately discarded randomly t.hroughout a room. "'

Not even a telephone. Just a button on the wall that says "EMERGENCY ON­LY."

Three doors at the back of the room. The left one leads to the bathroom.

The middle one is a closet with a lone wire coat hanger dangling from the bar. It sags dangerously when I hang my coat on it.

On the right is a kitchen. Why? The fridge isn't even plugged in.

During a lull, we decide to go out for pizza. In the car, I search frantically for the room key. I'd forgotten it. She hadn't .

Later, back in the room, I switch on the closed circuit TV for inspiration. I'm glad I ate the pizza first.

As the night wears on, a steady stream of cars make the pilgrimage first to the office, then to the recessed auto alcoves that accompany each unit, A through Q.

In the early morning hours, slightly sweaty, I crave a shower. The hot water tap gives me only cold. But this isn't the

t

kind of place where a cold shower is needed. I wait for the water to warm. I nap. I awake with a start and step in. The fact that the soap is securely wrapped in its paper somehow comforts me. After .. wards, I dry myself, with other hands helping, using a threadbare towel.

Much later I stagger into the morning light. It's check-out time. Extra soap packets and matchbooks bulge from my pockets.

I left the towels. by James Powers

FORT COLLINS, CO (CPS}-The same computer that instructs freshman English students at Colorado State University probably wouldn't pass university President Ralph Christoffer­son if he was enrolled as a student.

Using the computer to evaluate his in­augural address of last fall, English in­structors found Christofferson's prose didn't have the clarity or concision need­ed to pass freshman expository writing.

Ralph, as instructor Kate Kiefer calls the computer, helps instructors analyze student essays for errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation and clari­ty.

"The students come in and write essays on one of six terminals," Kiefer explains. "Usually they enter a rough draft first, run it through the 16 pro­grams for analysis, then re-write the piece based on the computer's sugges­tions."

Ralph's suggestions to Christofferson were unkind. "Consider shortening your

average sentence length," the computer responded when shown the president's. speech. "Your average is 30 words, which is very high. A good average would be 16-to-22 words."

Ralph was especially critical of one 57-word sentence in the address.

In addition, the computer admonish- -ed the president to stop using abstract phrases like "institutional inertia" and "intellectual myopia." A person would need 18 years of education to be able to adequately comprehend the speech, Ralph calculated.

Although Christofferson, who could -not be reached for comment, may not be overjoyed by Ralph, Kiefer reports that "student reaction has been extremely positive. We started the program last fall with about 38 students, and this semester we have 140 students par-• ticipating. Almost 70 percent say they would like another class using the com­puter."

'Das e ·oot' sinks, lacks soul by Marie Helm

DAS BOOT ('The Boat) written and produced by Wolfgang Petersen Starring: Jurgen Prochnow as the Captain.

- Herbert Gronemeyer as Werner the Cor­respondent From Columbia Pictures Opens Friday, April 24 at The &quire Theatre

Motion . pictures tend to fall into general types or 'genre'. One genre is the epic film and they t~nd to be one of two kinds: good and bad.

The German film Das Boot (The Boat) seems to fit in the latter category. It cost $13 million to make and turns out to be

;-.,... just another war movie. Das Boot centers around the lives and

times of m:en on a German U-boat dur­ing World War II. The film fails to show us the way it was on these cramped war vessels.

The story drags for two and a half / hours as it trys to depict the mean­

inglessness and horrors of war, the per­sonal drama of each man's life on board, and some depth charges missing every time but shaking up the crew alot scenes.

The characters are two dimensional. The viewer can not feel for them which is the major flaw of the film.

There were probably 50 men on the submarine and all I could pick up about them was: • One young sailor has a girlfriend in

- France who is pregnant. His role, one of " the more interesting ones, is incredibly

small. As might be predicted, however, he dies. • No one likes the reporter on board-probably because he asks a lot of questions, takes too many pictures

-- and is scared all the time. He is the sole survivor of the film.

..

Character detail is also lost in the translation of the subtitles. We are not informed of the background of these people so when the movie drags we ac­tually hope they will be killed, hasten-ing the movie's end.

Tne characters are bad enough but worse are the innumerable and hokey submarine battle scenes.

Each time this poor U-boat is attacked the entire inside of the ship is in utter chaos. Then, out of the blue, as quickly as the chaos starts, everyone is calm (ex­cept for the reporter) and the attack is over. These scenes of alternating emo­tions get tedious.

This movie has perhaps some of the most unbelievable scenes in the history of film. Repeatedly, the sub suffers total

disaster but always pulls out of it. A destroyer almost runs over it, it con­

stantly leaks water and it actually sinks once. Yet the U-boat still survives each catastrophe. The sub seems almost in­destructible as the crew only needs some wire to fix the damaged batteries, the leaking hull, and to start the engines.

Finally the crew make$ it home to its shipyard and finishes its task. Unex­

It's the extra-fine rolling ball of Pilot's remarkable new Precise Ball u.ner Pen. (If you haven'tguessedwhich one it is. look at the top photo again. It's the trim beauty on the bottom left.) .

But unlike the.others. the real beauty of Pilot's Precise Ball Liner is the extra-fine line it puts on paper. It glides smoothly across the page because its tiny tungsten carbide ball is held securely within a needle-like stainless steel collar. A collar that makes the Precise Ball Liner the most durable. trouble-free rolling ball pen you can buy.

Coors salutes the Intramural Team

of the onth!

It shouldn't be any surprise that the Intramural Recreation department and Coors know a lot about how to have fun. That's what the First Annual Coors - Aurarla

Campusfest was all about. To kick things off Thursday, The Aurarla Muskratt Regatta was held down on the Platte with the MSC Basball Club taking first place, and a keg. heavy entry with waterwlngs coming In last. Next was Volleyball untll dark and the largest lnnertube Water Polo Tourament In Aurarla Intramural History. On Friday the

Aloha Band showed up, a New Games session was held, Ultimate and Freestlye frlsbee demonstrations were given by a local pro, and to conclude the two day

event a Tug-0-War was held by the Intramural department featuring some crazy guy turning back fllps Into the Tug-0-War mud pond. Watch for next years Coors· Aurarla Campusfest. All who participated In this year's Campusfest are winners In every way.

So get psyched up for next year, 'cause the Campusfest wlll return.
