ComP.uters:
Competence ~Encouraged
Palo Alto, Calif. (I.P.) -Undergraduates should be "actively encouraged" but not required to obtain minimum computer competence, accor-
• ding to the Stanford Faculty Senate. Senate discussion indicated broad sup
port for a flexible approach to computer competency rather than a "heavyhanded" new degree requirement.
The Sena~e accepted a report from the Academic Council Committee on Com-
• puters and Information Technology. "Our group spent six weeks talking
about computer literacy," commented Prof. James R. Miller of the Graduate School of Business, committee· chairman. "There was great disparity at first, but the feeling was that heavy-handed
~mechanisms like the language requirement just weren't appropriate.
"It's probably not appropriate to leap to conclusions about expanding (basic courses on computers) until we see how computing will evolve in a relatively short period of time," according to Prof.
~Robert Street, civil engineering, recently named vice provost for computing.
The committee report cautioned that .. our experience teaching required courses has not always been happy. A small number of dmatisfied students can p0ison the experience for faculty and
-~students alike." The report said computer competence includes:
1) "Some facility with at least one text editor, computer, and operating system;
2) "The ability to write and debug a program succemully" (and}
3) "The ability to design, debug and ~maintain reliable algorithms, perhaps
even efficient ones, in the service of serious professional goals."
The committee came to these conclu-sions: I "Students specializing in the
I hUmanities and fine arts are probably '--sufficiently served with minimum com-
petence .. . with relatively light emphasis ... on technical ingredients and a relatively heavy emphasis on .. . usage, applications, historical and social ingredients."
"Students specializing in the social "'sciences require a· heavier emphasis on the technical in2fedients, particularly those involving cfata manipulation and statistical analysis. Programming skills would also be useful."
"Students specializing in the hard . sciences, engineering, and particularly ~computer science must attain significant competence in all of (these) areas. This would include structured programming skills and the ability to design and implement reliable alogrithms."
In the social sciences, the hard Jciences, and engineering "significant
competence" is needed and "the use of tight distributional requirements and specific course requirements over and above the introductory level would seem appropriate."
"But that decision, we believe, should 4"be left to individual departments," the 'report concludes." 0
Steainline Completed
Auraria students stroll to class above the recently completed steamline_ which will heat the campus this winter. Last spring' s steamline construction caused a big headache for many students, faculty, and staff.

Communications Cable Station Considered by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan
A student-run campus cable system is beinj.t considerd by the Student Facilities Policy Council, and could be operational at Auraria by December 1, 1985.
Associated Students of Metropolitan State College Senator Ben Boltz outlined his plans for the nearly $23,000 Auraria Student Cable System in a formal proposal to SFPC Chairman Ken Cole.
According to the proposal, the system is to include students from all three schools at Auraria and is to be funded, in part, by the Student Center Bond Reserve.
The first phase of the two-part proposal call for the alloeation of seven television sets, to be tied in with existing media facilities located in the basement of the library. The seven television sets would be located in the Student Center, as well as in each builcUng containing a student fee funded lounge. The proposal calls for the completion of phase one by November 22 of this year.
"E1'fmt~, after enough experieftce in cable televiaion ia gained, a propoeal would be developed for gaining access to the higher education channel to Mile High Cablevision through the telecom· municatiom committee of the City and County of Denver.
-Cable System Proposal
The second phase of the plan calls for the initiation of broadcasts from the library.media center to students through the new television sets on one of the media center's channels.
"Space would need to be found to house the broadcast equipment and administrative personnel," the recommendation said. "Eventually, after

' . .. s ~,Fake Mail Service Aids Lonely Students
by Susan Skorupa Special to The Metropolitan
BLOOM.INGTON, IN (CPS)-When Barky the dog died, Earlham College
4 student Shannon Kerchoff heard about it in a sweet letter from home that began "Dear Glorious .Child" and went on to express her parents' deep sorrow.
· Kirchoff, shocked by the dog's sudden
t demise, wrote a reply that accused her
. parents of poisoning little Barky. • Sound cold and unforgiving?
Maybe, but Kirchoffs parents, the letter, the death and even Barky himself are just inventions of R.E.M. Enterprises, Ron Mader's "falce mail" service for college students suffering from empty mailboxes.
4- For a modest $2 a semester, Mader will write his subscribers a monthly letter to help them ward off loneliness with hometown gossip. The only catch is nothing-the family writing the letter or the gossip-is real.
i. ..., Mader, 20, · a te\ecommunications II major at Indiana University, created his
fake f amilv letters when fri~nds com-
Golding Says MSC Worked Against Odds
•·
r MSC interim President Dr. Brage
-" Golding issued his State of the College ~ address to a full-house of faculty, staff, f and students at St. Cajetan's Center,
Tuesday.
L
Golding states, in what he referred to as most likely both his welcoming and his farewell address, that he has observed some structural deficiencies but that he didn't want them to be taken critically.
\..-
"To do what you have done in the past two decades is to have succeeded against the odds," Golding said, "and you are to be congratulated."
Golding said that in his few months on campus he's been reading old files, hearing complaints and talking to all levels of the college faculty and staff.
"I have found an informal, confused, and somewhat demoralized
1 atmosphere," Golding said. Golding contributed this, in part, to
an "unfortunately excessive turnover of presidents." '
Golding urged the audience to work energetically, cooperatively, and proud
--<ly to provide the best education and service possible.
"Let me just say that our goal for the next few months should be to demonstrate that Metropolitan State College is the exception to the charge that higher education in Colorado is a
.... mess," Golding said. After his speech, Golding awarded the
late Dr. Richard Fontera a distinguished service award.
The award, accepted by Mrs. Iris Fontera, was given due to his outstan
.,-Oing and unusual service to the college. -Robert Davis
plained they never got any mail. "The concept of writin2 fake letters
really lends itself to a lot of questions," Mader admits. "But it's news from home, family and neighbor gossip."
Letter ideas originate in his copious note taking. ·
"I take very different kinds of notes," he says. "They're obscure. If anyone looked at them, they would think 'very strange.' If I hear anything unusual, even in class, I'll write it down and turn the story around to make it funny."
Last year, his first in business, Mader wrote and photocopied all the letters"for his 26 subscribers.
This year he has a computer to help him personalize the correspondence.
"It takes about two hours to write -one letter," he explains. "Then another three hours to process and.personalize them."
He began by offering subscribers letters frorn a "generic suburban family," and then branched out to offer subscribers a choice of friendly or hostile parents at the head of the family.
Mader says the "suspicious" parents, who typically bejlin their letters with a ·
"Dear Trouble" salutation, outsell the supp6rtive p.arents, who begin their letters with "Dear Glorious Child."
"I like writing the suspicious ones better," he adds.
IU student Scott Anderson subscribes to the suspicious family for himself and to the nice family for a friend.
"I don't get nearly enough Jl)ail," he explains. "So I looked forward to getting the letters. They're a parddy of a typical American family from suburbia."
Mader recruits his subscribers during campus orientation week, posting signs in IU's dorms. Last year, the campus· newspaper ran a story about his service as well.
Most of the subscribers actually have Mader write to friends instead of themselves.
"It's definitely a unique gift," says IU junior Deborah F~eedman. "The letters are personal enough you can laugh over thin~ that really could be from your family.''
She compares the letters' tone to the homey, innocuous humor of the "Leave
Tivoli Trans£ ormed
It To Beaver" and "Ozzie and Harriet" TV shows.
'You could see families writing letters like these," Freedman adds.
Only three subscribers have replied to Mader's falce families so far, but those responses were "very creative," he says. He hopes to encourage more students to "write home."
"I would love that," he laughs. Freedman, for one, intends to
resubscribe for a friend this year. She'll have a• wider choice than last
year, too, since Mader is offering to write from three new fake families.
Students can be the oldest child from a New Paltz, N.Y., family, 'the second youngest child in a family from Santa Barbara, Ca., or the child of a Fort Wayne, Ind., single-parent family.
"It's· filling a void," Mader says. "I actually like writing, and this is one way of doing it.''
Besides, he sees the letters as a good _.alternative to typing term papers or working in the cafeteria as a moneymaking venture. 0
The Tivoli Brewery is slowly being transformed from a decrepit old building into a modern shopping mall. The 104-year-old brewery is being developed by the Trizec Corporation, a Canadian based land development company. Scheduled for grand opening next March, the mall will have movie theaters, restaurants and shops of all kinds and should become a favorite of Auraria students.

ilinputer Do~ Arrive Registration Blues Hanover, N.H.-(1.P.)-All incoming
freshmen at Dartmouth College will have the opportunity to acquire a personal computer for use in their dorm rooms-both as a self-contained unit and as a terminal linked to the College's central, more powerful time-shared computers.
"But the challenge and requirement for this institution will be to do all that in the context of Dartmouth's liberal arts philosophy," states College President David T. McLaughlin.
According to the plan, freshmen will be able to buy personal computers from the College at a reduced price of about $1,100, the payment of which can be spread out over the 12 academic terms, usually four years, required of undergraduates to meet B.A. degree requirements . With interest and insurance against major repairs, that will average about $130 a term in additional tuition fees.
Students also will be responsible for

the repair and maintenance of their own computers, except when the costs of such repairs exceeds $50 per term. In this context, the Board of Trustees also authorized the inclusion of the cost- of the personal computer package in the formula for financial aid awards to the class of 1988 and later entering classes. Thus, all incoming students will be able to participate in the purchase plan, regardless of family income.
The real key to the success of the personal computers on campus will be how they are utilized in the curriculum. Toward that end, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation already has awarded Dartmouth $250,()00 for the development and conversion of computer applications for students in the humanities and social ~~~. 0

SPOTLIGHT Pride Inspires New Cheer Squad
! and I think they expect more from the 'Editor's note: During the course of the
semester we are planning to run a variety of features on the people, clubs and organizations which help make Auraria one of the most unique campuses in the country. This is the second article in the series.
by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan
Question: What does Metropolitan State College have this school year that it has not had in years past?
Answer: Cheerleaders. That's right, folks, for the first time in
who knows how long, Metro will have cheerleaders to stir enthusiasm and school pride. The ten-member squad was formed last spring, and has been dlligently practicing all summer long to help lead our sports teams to victory.
' cheerleaders, and they should because its a more serious school. It is not a party school. And I wanted to do it to make ·myself a better person-to learn more self-discipline."
And other members of the team shared , Newell's recognition of the type of school ' that Metro is- an urban campus where there just simply is not a lot of partying.
"I wanted to let people know that there is more to life at Metro than the Mission and the gameroom," Taylor
~ said. ~ Dennis said she joined the ~ cheerleading squad to "get more involv... ed in school and to let people know that G we do have sports," and co-captain Dent -5' said she wanted to "enhance school spirit ~ and pride, get more people involved in IS.. school and to let people know more
about the sports program. It has been about ten years since
cheerleaders were last seen at MSC, but when the old basketball program folded, the cheerleading program was quick to follow suit.
Several MSC cheerleaders ri.de the new trolley outside the Student Center Tuesday.
All agreed that practicing for an hour everyday was hard work, but it was beginning to pay off.
"At first," Rowland said, "it was more work than fun, but it is getting to be a lot
MSC student Jodi Prather re-started the cheerleading program last spring as part of "a high school fantasy. I've always wanted to do it, to get this school together, it's like this school is dead sometimes."
To help raise money for the program, the cheerleaders will be appearing in conjunction with the basketball team
around the area to make the community aware of Metro's programs.
Prather and Julie Dent are co-captains of the squad, which also includes Mary Colburn, Cynthia Dennis, Nicole Murray, Leona Newell, Shawn Ortiz, Renee Rowland, Amy Shute and Betsy Taylor.

Newell, for one, said the desire to be a cheerleader had to do with more than just getting involved with our sports program.
"I wanted to do it to generate pride, I want people to say that they are proud to go to Metro ... Metro has high standards
more fun." -< "None of us knew each other before
this," Dennis said, "it's nice to meet people we wouldn't have otherwise met."
"It's hard work if you were not a cheerleader before, it's hard to learn the moves," Newell emphasized. "We are getting things accomplished-there are ~ a few of the cheerleaders who have done it before, so they have been teaching us the routines. We are also learning to
- --"'="'"-----~ - wol'k'together -ro get things done ... The N CS . only problem we bad in the summer was

Editor's note: This letter was written to Colorado First Lady Dottie Lamm in response to a column she authored in The Denver Post regarding the need for gun control. One of the things we are planning to do this semester in The Metropolitan is a mafor series examining gun control. This letter is presented to give our readers the opportunity to begin thinking about this delicate subf ect.
Dear Dottie, . Your July 22 column supporting the idea of federal handgun control is an elo
quent appeal for action which would no doubt reduce the fatality figures you cite and the attendant anguish antiseptic statistics cannot tell.
Unfortunately, you and your conservative ally James Kilpatrick are missing the point our Founding Fathers had in mind when they stated so unequivocally that the right of Americans to keep and bear arms was not to be impugned.
"Government," said George Washington, "is not reason, is not eloquence-it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."
Your numbers and others t:onfirm his warning: from 1963to1974, when 69,315 Americans were killed by handguns, an estimated 30 MILLION Chinese were murdered by their government in the "Cultural Revolution." Or, put another way, for every ONE American killed in that period by INDIVIDUALLYWIELDED HANDGUN, 432 unarmed Chinese died by GOVERNMENTWIELDED TERROR.

August 29, 1984
Between 1975 and 1978, 50,000 Americans died by handgun; in Cambodia FOUR MILLION unarmed citizens were butchered by their government.
In R~ia, the 1930s purg~ o( government victimized another unarmed populace to the tune of 30 MILLION DEAD.
And from 1936 to 1945, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, governments left to irresponsible action because their citizenry was unarmed and thus powerless to prevent it, brought death and destruction to 50 MILLION human beings around the globe.
This is the central issue, the bottom line of any discussion of firearms generally and concealed weapons specifically. In a year when individual rights were savage_d by the judicial branch of government, a year when in the other branches Democrats and· Republicans alike succumbed in ever greater numbers to the imperatives of totalitarian management, the last thing we need is any move WHATSOEVER toward the disarming of the only force on earth which can keep the American government responsible: the American people. As Erich Fromm said in a review of a now-famous novel:
Books like Orwell's are powerful warnings and it would be unfortunate if the reader smugly interpreted 1984 as another description of Stalinist barbarism, · and if he does not see that it means us, too.
Best regards, Robin Heid
American
a very nice constitution as constitutions go. The problem is it is the wrong one. Although it claims to have been passed by referendum in the Fall of 83, the Constitution passed was different. The goof-up was caused when the forces of the Prince of Darkness conspired with a student or two and an administrator or two and possibly a custodian from AHEC to change the duly ratified Constitution under the guise of simple verbage changes necessitated by the State Attorney General. To make a short story shorter, the forces of evil were caught and the dastardly d~d exposed. So, if anyone wants to see the real honest Constitution, come on up and visit us in 340C of the Student Center. Copies of the legal document will be available soon.

:r comprised, in part, of Dixon Smith, chairman of the IylSC Earth Sciences Department; Robert Leitz, MSC assistant professor of Earth Sciences; and Deborah Leong, former MSC Education teacher on leave to AHEC.

The Emmanuel Gallery exhibit is more of an artistic venture than documentation. It is titled, "Not Strictly Visual." and was curated by Gay Lasher. The theme involves t~e combine? effect of words and imagery. Some-of the displays are extremely irksome while others are less striking. This exhibit is aimed at the more esoterically elite as it explores concepts such as juxtaposition, emotional expression, and perspective. Reagan is featured front and center in a broken glass snip-ped headlines collage. '
Both the exhibits are tastefully presented, and provide an excellent diversion : from the back-to-school blues. · D ~
