Every semester, Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver students complete evalua­tion forms to grade teachers on their perfor-mance in the classroom. ·

But the results of those surveys have been kept confidential.

A new opinion survey, proposed by the Associated Students of MSCD Student Government, that would publish wbatMSCD students think of their teachers' abilities, has been approved by the Faculty Senate.

Auraria crime statistics

Report reveals overall decline of six percent J.C. Long The Metropolitan

Auraria Public Safety has com­piled its crime statistics for 1990 and the total dollar amount from robberies, burglary and thefts amounts to almost $100,000.

Office equipment heads the list of the most popular items stolen. More than $26,000 of office equipment was stolen from offices that were left unattended or un­locked.

APS Sgt. Jirn Ferguson said that they are trying to get the message out to faculty, staff and students about what types of crimes and the number of crimes that occur on campus.

Most of the crimes committed on campus involve some type of larceny - burglary, robbery or theft.

Last year APS received 325 crime reports and 267 of those reports were larceny-related.

Ferguson said that the total dollar amount from burglaries in­creased by 185 percent from 1989, but that wasn't the largest increase. The total dollar amount of office equipment stolen in 1990 increased by 820 percent from 1989, he said.

Ferguson said that educating the campus population is a continuous effort. Faculty and staff must lock

their offices when they are not there, he said. And students should not leave their backpacks or other valuables unattended.

However, not every statistic was negative.

Ferguson said that motor vehicle theft on campus decreased by 62 percent and vandalism decreased . by 11 percent.

The statistics also showed no ~riminal homicide, negligent manslaughter or forcible rape re­ports in 1990.

Auraria's numbers compare favorably with other campuses in Colorado with the same approxi­mate population. According to the 1989 Colorado Bureau of Investi­gation annual report, the University of Northern Colorado reported43 l crimes, Colorado State University reported 671 crimes, the University of Colorado at Boulder reported 868 crimes and Auraria reported 337.

Ferguson attributed these fig­ures to the absence of a live-in population and the attitude of the campus population toward crime.

"We're really fortunate as a police force, because this com­munity is intolerant of crime," he said. "We get a lot of help from the community."

Ferguson said the low crime rate at Auraria is good considering the location of the campus.

Student activism on the rise

WASH1NGTON, D.C. (NSNS) American college students are be-coming increasingly concerned with social issues and less inter-ested in making money, according to a survey conducted by the American Council on Education and the University of California at Los Angeles.

The survey, based on the re-sponses of nearly 200,000 first year students at 382 colleges and universities, shows that interest in business careers continued to de-dine while interest in teaching and nursing continued to rise. u

ACADEMICS

New arts division to bring better image for school Gall Spencer The Metropolitan

In a position statement that would rede­fine the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the LAS Arts Council supports the creation of a Division of Fine and Performing Arts and Communications at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

The statement, now under departmental discussion, was drafted at the request of LAS Dean Larry S. Johnson by council member Larry Bograd, MSCD assistant professor of English.

"A restructure is long overdue," Bograd said.

The restructure would affect the LAS departments of art, communications, En­glish, journalism, music and speech.

"We're looking at ways to continue to develop arts programs and communications - radio, TV, journalism, creative writing - anything that relates to the performing areas," Johnson said.

The journalism department is not speci­fied in the council's statement

According to the position statement, the new division would be comprised of the other existing departments and would ne­cessitate its own associate dean, its own budget, its own staff and, eventually, its own facility by the year 2000. The areas under its umbrella would be visual arts , creative writing for performance, dance, music, speech and theater. Major and minor pro­grams would be offered with emphasis on practical production skills.

The restructure, which has been the subject of LAS Arts Council meetings since November, has not been endorsed by John­son.

"We'll be discussing it over the next few weeks and then the decision goes to the central administration," Johnson said. "What we do in planning here has to be in agree-

ment with the strategic planning of the insti­tution."

If mandated, Johnson said the restructure could be in effect by the 1992-93 school year.

'The notion is that it would make a better working agreement for these programs," Johnson said. "I think it would enhance opportunities for students."

Johnson said that he thinks areas of the arts and sciences could be more cohesively organized. As an example he cited that un­der the restructure, journalism and broadcast communications could work together and provide each other mutual support.

Johnson said be formed the the LAS Arts Council three years ago to create synergy among the arts at MSCD. Accomplishments include an arts calendar and the Metro Center for the Visual Arts gallery at 1701 WazeeSt.

LAS Arts Council members are Johnson, Associate Dean Joan Foster, Art Chair Su­san Josepher, Music Chair Hal Tamblyn, Speech Communications Chair Carl John­son, Professors of English Bograd, Robert Pugel and Eugene Saxe, and Professor of Speech and Theatre Arts Director Marilyn Hetzel.

Johnson said the main objectives of the restructure are to give LAS a better public image that would add to the recognition of MSCD, and to give the departments better coherence.

Johnson said the restructuring depends on continued support from MSCD but, be­cause of funding shortfal ls, LAS may also need to pursue outside sources.

Bo grad said that, until now, the college has depended upon the entrepreneurial tal­ents of its faculty and staff, and that a central box office and marketing system is needed.

"One of the best publicity tools a college has is the fine arts," Bograd said. "It's good for the community and it's good for busi­ness." 0

AHEC violates EPA rules Adam Schockley The Metropolitan

Hazardous waste bas been stored on Auraria campus longer than allowed by federal and state regulations since the founding of the campus according to lab coordinators from the three schools on cam­pus.

Mike Bilasb, University of Colorado at Denver chemistry lab coordinator, con­firmed statements by Louis Aran, Metro­politan State College of Denver chemistry lab coordinator, that storage cabinets on the third floor of the Science Building are used to store waste produced by the chemistry and biology departments of all three schools before it is disposed of by an off-campus contractor. "The waste is usually stored for about one year," Aran said.

Bilash agreed. "Yes, The waste stored here is usually picked up about once a year," he said.

The annual pick up exceeds the maximum amount of time such substances can be stored on the campus by approximately 180 days, according to Walter Avramenko, hazardous waste inspector for the Colorado Department of Health. A vramenko cited regulations which allow waste generators such as AHEC and the three schools to take as much as 270 days to transport waste off campus but only if the next disposal or storage site is more than 200 miles away.

Jesse I, a Community College of Denver chemistry professor, acts as the lab coordi­nator for the school's chemistry depart­ment." That is my understanding," I said. "Wastes from the departments are stored in the Science Building."

I said that CCD administrators regarded their chemistry department as being too smalltorequiresomeonetoworkexclusively as a lab coordinator so he fulfills the func­tions of a teacher and lab manager.

"The Wli!)te generated by this department is less than 100 grams," I said.

Rocky Mountain Environmental Inc., the contractor chosen by public bid to transport Auraria's waste, ships the majority of the waste to out-of-state locations for burning or placement in landfills, according to Doug Genova, the company's president.

"The predominant amount of waste from the Auraria Campus is shipped to an incin­erator in Arkansas," Genova said.

The remainder is shipped to a site in Nebraska, he said.

Some shipments his company handles have been held at their Englewood facility for up to lO days before being sent on to any of several out-of-state sites throughout the country.

Even if all wastes were transported to a location in excess of 200 miles away from the Auraria Campus, the current system of one-year storage still exceeds the alternate limit of 270 days.

Although law permits Rocky Mountain Environmental Inc. to retain shipments on site for 10 days, it would still mean that wastes coming from the campus are trans­ported and temporarily held at a location within 200 miles of the place where it was produced and stored.

I and Aran said that waste was kept in storage areas for periods greater than one year before the two men began more orga­nized storage procedures about three years ago.

Philip Savage, Environmental Health Safety manger for the Auraria Campus, is responsible for the proper storage handling and disposal of wastes on campus.

'The wastes generated on campus are generally collected and shipped off once a year," Savage said, but admitted that wastes should never be stored on-campus for more than six months."

Savage said he is now working with lab coordinators and people from other hazard­ous waste producing sources on campus to develop a better system in which waste can be transported to proper disposal more quickly.

If AHEC or the individual schools were found to be in violation of Environmental Protection Agency regulations, they could be subject to a maximum penalty of $25,000 per day, per violation, according to Nancy Jackson, an inspector for the Department of Health.

Jackson declined to comment on any possible problems on the Auraria Campus but said there are no exceptions to the time limits in which waste can be stored by an academic institution or any other generator of hazardous waste .

. "A waste generator can apply for a 30 day extension if there are extenuating cir­cumstance s , but I'm aware of no exemptions,"she said. 0

FYI: "Hello" illuminates from the Visitor Information Center just west of the Student Union. The center was opened to help visitors find their way around the Auraria Campus.

Employee centered on friendliness Jeff Jones The Metropolitan

Reginald Howard is a cool dude. If you pass by the glass-walled Visitors

Information Center,just west of the Student Union in the tum-around circle, you'll prob­ably see him reading the newspaper or doing his homework. Stop in, say "hi," ask direc­tions. He's a friendly type, more than happy to help you along your way.

The center, which strikingly resembles an RTD bus shelter, was recently built to point people in the right direction and make visitors at Auraria feel welcome. How could a person not feel welcome after seeing the pink neon " Hello" on the side of the cozy hut?

Reggie, who works the most hours in the center, kicks back in his chair, and says the glass structure " arouses people's curiosity."

Well, that it does.

During my 15-minute stay in the center, a lady, eyeing the hut suspiciously, decided to try it out.

"Here comes a Curious George now," remarked Reggie, jumping up to open the door for her.

It turned out the lady had taken a class at CCD or Metro or CU-Dor all three some umpteen years ago .and hadn't been on campus since. Reggie whipped out an Auraria map and quickly showed her how to get to where she was going. She was on her way, map in hand, more prepared and wiser than before, thanks to Reggie. Apparently this is a typical encounter.

Reggie says he gets paid very well for what he does and likes his job. "The human contact is great- it's almost like a public relations job."

So don't be afraid to check out the new Visitors Information Center. Reggie likes company and so do the other three workers at the center. 0

New parking policy curbs problem Cheryl Helmuth The Metropolitan

Three students' cars were locked in the parking garage after closing Friday Feb. 8, and were it not for a patient parking atten­dant, three more would have also been locked inside the garage.

Dave Christner, a Parking and Trans­portation Services employee, said that he routinely stays 10 to 15 minutes after clos­ing time for people who are running late,

although he is authorized to close the garage promptly at 6 p.m. on Fridays.

Three people come to the parking garage after 6 p.m. to retrieve their cars. All three walked slowly and did not appear to be in any rush, despite the fact that it was past closing time.

Christner said that most of the students he has encountered have said that they just didn'trealize thatthe garage closes at 6 p.m. on Fridays .

According to Sgt. Jim Ferguson of Auraria Public Safety, students may call APS any time after closing and an officer will unlock

the garage so they can retrieve their cars. Although the official policy is still being

decided, he said that, at least for now, APS is releasing cars from the garage at one-hour intervals. So for example, if a call is placed at 6:30, it will probably be 7 p.m. before a car could be retrieved.

If a car is locked in, it will be safe. Once the doors are locked and the heavy steel grids are lowered on the garage entrances, no one can get in or out There are 64 cameras, 16 per floor, including one in front of each elevator, which are monitored in the

office surveillance room. Sensors on each camera provide two-way communication between employees in the surveillance room and anyone in the parking garage.

Officials in Parking and Transportation Services could not be reached for an update on their official policy concerning cars left in the garage after closing.

The parking garage is open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to l 0:30 p .m., and Friday from 6:30 a.m . to 6p.m. 0

GULF WAR NEWS Schroeder asks for answers on army mail delay for soldiers in Gulf Jim Langland The Metropolitan

For the soldiers in the Persian Gulf mail from home helps take their minds off the horrors of war, at least for a moment.

However, Army soldiers are not so lucky. Their mail is being delayed, according to a Jan. 30 letter from Congresswoman Pat Schroeder to Dick Cheney, the secretary of defense, asking him to do something about it.

"Perhaps they (the Army) could arrange for an emergency team of postal service experts to visit the mail processing facilities in the gulf," Schroeder said in the letter.

According to Kip Cheroutes, Schroeder's press secretary, Schroeder has received ap­proximately I 00 letters complaining about

the delay in the mail.

Cheroutes said that trying to find the soldiers is difficult. "It's like the population of Denver moving every 3 weeks and not leaving a forwarding address," he said. Cheroutes blames the entire problem on the volume of mail.

Scott Bundy, communication manager for the Denver Postal Master, said that the normal lag time for letters is between 12 and 15 days. Bundy also said that the department of defense has asked the American public not to send boxes to the Gulf. He said that the U.S. Postal Service is only responsible for the military postage in the U.S., and the military delivers mail to the Gulf.

Soldiers from the other three services do not seem to be having the same problem as the Army, they are receiving their mail on­time according to Schroeder's letter. 0

ART February 15, 1991

Diverse art taken to the 'edgestreme' Gerry Murano The Metropolitan

Imagine, if you can, walking into a sur­realistic environment that completely en­velopes you, bombarding your senses with eerie sounds, pungent smells, shocks for the eyes and the emotions.

As you proceed, you experience the sound of dripping water in the distance, the glow of neon tubing, a headless mannequin in a black teddy, Brownie-Hawkeye camera around its neck. In a corner, a black-and­white television set chums out perpetual snow on a screen that is overlaid with the crime-scene outline of a body.

The impact: a shock to the senses. The message: the trashing and trivialization of this planet.

This was "Edgestremists," a recent in­stallation exhibit at the Edge, Denver's newest alternative art co-op at 304 7 Larimer St.

'The point is to get someone to say, 'This is something I would never see.' It's a new way of looking at the world.'

"The point of installation art is to get an environment that people react to," said Jeni Erickson, a Metropolitan State College of Denver graduate who is one of 21 artist members of the Edge who collaborated on the four installations.

"In the real world, art space is separate from real space," she said. "The point is to get someone to say, 'This is something I would never see.' It's a new way of looking at the world," Erickson said.

According to Ken Peterson, president of the Edge co-op, the "Edgestremists" effort was unique and inconceivable to many art­ists. "It was not easy to get 21 creative people to work together on one project," Peterson said. "Artists are typically inde­pendent workers, so it's rare to bring them together for one creative endeavor," he said .

Peterson believes in the value of alter­native galleries for both the artists and community. "There are no constraints, no pressure to sell," he said. "New, innovative artists are encouraged to take risks, to be as creative as they want, with no regard to such concerns as 'Will the public like it? Will it sell?' The focus is on showing. The galler­ies can function on dues alone." Most of the co-ops have small to no turnover and long waiting lists. Unlike commercial galleries that must sell in order to cover overhead and make a profit, the alternative galleries split the cost of rent and utilities among them along with each artist working a couple of shifts a month at the gallery.

If necessity is the mother of invention,

then this explained why alternative galleries came to be.

'They had their stables of artists. If you or I had a prod· uct, a good product, it didn't matter. We didn't have a place to show. It was defi· nitely an 'anti' statement: anti-establishment, anti­gallery, anti-museum.'

"The co-op movement originated in the '60s or '70s," said Carol Keller, Auraria's visual arts manager and director of the Emmanuel Gallery and Auraria Library Gallery. "Commercial galleries in those days were really tight," she said. "They had their stables of artists. If you or I had a product, a good product, it didn't matter. We didn't have a place to show. It was definitely an 'anti' statement: anti-establishment, anti­gallery, anti-museum."

Another Denver co-op exemplifies this practical approach.

Just down the street from the Edge, 18 members of the Core New Art Space found themselves outgrowing their small gallery. They had a long list of artists who wanted to join. Upon finding their new location, at 1412 W azee St., they expanded their mem­bership to 30. To fulfill their lease obligation, Core members rented their old space to several groups of new artists for two-week showings.

"We had some of the best shows here at the old Core, some really talented young artists," said Dean Habegger, a Core artist. "Very professional, very impressive."

The Core New Art Space has several open shows coming up, including one opening Feb. 15. Core encourages artists to submit their work.

"The purpose is to provide space for artists of all different levels and skills," said Habegger. "It's an opportunity for every artist."

Who are the visitors to these innovative art spaces? Most of the alternative galleries develop a regular following of art lovers who appreciate new and different work. Much of the artwork focuses on social commentary, political statements and other themes that do not work for commercial galleries.

One thing is certain: You can't be pas­sive about this art. These shows will evoke some kind of emotion.

And that's the point. 0

MUSIC

DCO concert a sound success REDTERS IDSURADCE Chris Pitchford

The Metropolitan

Mondaynight'sconcertattheParamount Theatre by the Denver Chamber Orchestra bad all the spirit of a Ferrari in the simple guise and appeal of a Honda.

Und.er the direction of guest conductor Robert Bernhardt, the DCO performed works by Ludwig von Beethoven, and opened the concert with a Colorado premiere of an orchestral work by the composer Steven Heitzeg.

Piano Concerto No. 4, written by Beethoven in 1806, kept the momentum through effortlessly strong interpretation

by pianist Neil Rutman of San Francisco. AH three movements, which raced through emotions of anger, grandeur and the sub­lime, were nearly technically perfect. The audience brought Rutman back onto the stage with its applause and an encore was performed, nearly as demanding as the con­certo itself.

After intermission, Beethoven's Sym­phony No. 5 captured the attention of the audience. This, the most popular of sym­phonic works, had a few technical glitches. Although there was no amplifier or electric instrument in sight, the acoustic instruments had some problems of their own. At a dra­matic moment in Concerto No. 5, a French horn player was out of tune for a brief

moment during a transition from the exposi­tion of the first movement. The problems did not stand in the way of the passion of the performance. :rhe small-sized DCO was more than up to the task of performing such a powerful work.

The opening of the concert, written by Heitzeg, was a tribute to artist Georgia 0 'Keefe called "Flowers of the Earth." Each of the four movements was derived from a painting by the renowned American artist. Heitzeg displayed the paintings during a lecture and slide presentation before the concert.

OPtED ~~ It's a dog's life

Lying in the lap of luxury or loan fraud? Dave Plank

Last Tuesday night, while the war in the Middle East raged on, the federal budget spiraled dizzyingly up­wards and society in general continued its alarming backslide into anarchy, I watched a dog show on TV.

I didn't set out to do it. All I wanted was to watch a little "Miami Vice" before bed. But when I gotta channel 33, I didn't see Don Johnson chasing drug dealers through Miami streets in his Ferrari. I saw a standard

·poodle being led around the floor of a nearly empty Madison Square Garden as a woman who looked a lot like Queen Elizabeth looked on.

An announcer named Dick Fritell explained every subtle nuance of the dog show to me as I satthere, too dumbstruck to do anything but watch the peculiar ritual.

Dick carefully pointed out that this wasn't just any poodle, but a champion poodle belonging to a Con­necticut owner who wears pink socks for good luck every show day.

The poodle didn't even look like a dog, really. It was white, with balls cut into its fur, protruding grotesquely from various places on its body. There were rings of fur around its ankles that looked like the tops of Santa's boots, and the dog's head had a fluff-and-mousse job that any 19-year-old Metallica groupie would be proud to call her own.

"My," Dick said, with obvious admiration. "That is a truly magnificent animal."

The lady who looked like the Queen, it turned out, was a world-famous dog judge who had flown in from Venice to check out the contenders in this Awesome

LETTERS Troop support

Canine Spectacle. Dick insightfully pointed out this judge's historical

affinity for standard poodles, citing former Best of Show competitions in London and Paris, where she had awarded hefty loving cups to other poodles, pass­ing up Boxers, Akitas and Sheepdogs. Just like John Madden in another sport, it was obvious that Dick knew his stuff.

More than 2400 dogs had originally traveled to New York for this show, Dick said, some flying with their masters in Lear jets or cruising up the coast from Florida in 96-foot yachts. Only seven dogs were left to fight it out for the Best of Show trophy now, in what promised to be one of the hardest-fought contests in Dick's memory.

This poodle's name wasn't Sparky or Fido or Spot. It was Whirlwind on a Carousel. He jogged around the inside of the Garden effortlessly, his coiffed head and manicured tail stuck straight up in the air. The blue ribbon above the dog's forehead bounced up and down in time with the cuffs of his master's pants, which indeed hid pink good-luck socks.

"It costs about $300 an hour to have one of these dogs groomed," Dick said. "And a show cut such as this dog's usually takes between three and four hours to prepare."

Great, I thought. This guy with the pink socks just spent $1,200 to get his dog trimmed like the hedges in front of my next-door neighbor's house. Maybe it's time for me to get some doggie clippers and change careers.

Dick said that this poodle was the odds-on favorite in the contest beqause it "presented" so well. "But that certainly isn'tto say that all the dogs here don't present well," he quickly added.

My mental arithmetic, meantime, continued. So $1,200 for the butch, plus maybe $10,000 for the pilot and jet fuel on the fear flight out from Malibu, plus a hotel room at $450 a night for three nights. Mr. Pink Socks was quickly closing in on $15,000 for his little trip to the dog show, and he hadn't even bought the "athlete," as Dick kept referring to the foul beast, any Milk Bones.

Next the judge wanted to watch the contenders run straight away from her. Dick said it was so she could admire their "hindquarters" as they moved.

"All these dogs are professionally trained," Dick said as the woman gazed at the butts of all seven animals. She sure was earning her money. "Training one of these dogs for show can cost as much as $10,000. All that on top of the cost of the dog."

Dick added that the dogs all eat special food that shines their coats or something. He said the food usually costs about $3,000 a year.

After a few tense moments, the judge, just as Dick had predicted, picked the Poodle as Best of Show. Pandemonium erupted in the arena.

Well, after my palms stopped sweating from all the excitement, I tallied up the cost of this trophy-winning poodle. Assuming the dog was three years old, we're at about $35,000. All that money so this guy can run around on the floor of Madison Square Garden and get a ridiculous-looking silver-plated cup. What kind of life must this guy lead, I wondered. What kind of person can spend 30 grand on a dog and still look at himself in the mirror? Just as thatthought flew across my mind, I got a good look at the guy in the pink socks.

I can't swear to it, but the guy looked an awful lot like Neil Bush.

U.S. government, not citizens, turned back on Vietnam vets Editor,

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about supporting our troops in Saudi Arabia and not turning our backs on them when they return as was had (allegedly) done during the Vietnam War. If most people would take time to look past the rhetoric and misinformation they would know that the American people didn't turn their backs on the returni.ng soldiers, it was our own govern­ment and the people who supported the war.

I had friends and relatives who went to fight in that unjust and unethical war. Some I never saw again, others came back tormented and unadjusted. I was very happy to see them again and welcomed them back with open arms, as did most Americans.

However, our government, and the Veterans Ad­ministration had no real or meaningful support pro­grams for the veterans. The wounded soldiers had to return to underfunded and insufficient medical treat­ment. Those going through psychological trauma in the aftermath of the war weren't given adequate treat­ment. Others, who had no previous career paths prior to being drafted, were not given the support that they needed to reintegrate themselves in this society. Con­sequently, a large portion of homeless males are Vietnam veterans barely surviving. Veterans can only be thankful to non-profit agencies, which scraped together some funding so that they could provide these badly needed services.

Our young men, who were drafted into the military

which was grossly over-represented by low income people of all nationalities, African Americans, Chicanos, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, were carried across the world to flight in an undeclared war that most Americans didn't agree with. Meanwhile, rich white males like Dan Quayle, were able to utilize special programs to hide from the draft.

Those young poor people were-exposed to danger­ous chemicals, like Agent Orange. Now, as many veterans are suffering the effects of these chemicals, some have died and others are dying, our government protects itself and the corporations who provided the chemicals. Who turned their backs on the troops?

I have a cousin who performed his duty in Vietnam, maintaining a heroine addiction (like many others) throughout the war and afterward. Lacking compas­sion to his plight and others like him, our government

. only offered him a substitute drug called methadone, rather than lehabilitation.

In the 1980's many people responded to the call of, "Be All That You Can Be," unaware that this meant "cannon fodder for the rich." I have friends who Joined the military believing that they would receive job train­ing and a college education in hopes of enhancing their careers, but now their futures are uncertain. Once again, the poor and people of color are the victims.

Now, funding for education and social programs are

endangered. Soldiers will come back in body bags, or dismembered, and/or traumatized. But, their careers won't be ~nhanced. People of color will return to discrimination and racism after laying their lives on the line for this country.

The U.S. aggression in Iraq is immoral and could have been prevented. Unfortunately, the people of United States are being whipped up into a false sense of patriotism, and are being manipulated into looking at the world from a national chauvinistic perspective, rather than one which is based on the principles of liberty and justice for all. We are sending our friends, relatives, and loved ones to risk their lives and safety for a cause that doesn't benefit them.

I will be happy when they return and will treat them with the respect that they deserve. I will mourn those who have died senselessly and hope that our govern­ment will provide and maintain quality health care for the injured. I am hopeful that adequate psychological support for those who will be traumatized in this war will be available and I believe that the government and private sector should be held accountable to offer returning soldiers an opportunity to enhance their careers and get on with their lives again.

LETTERS Colorado Marines request correspondence Editor,

This comes to you from seven Marines who all term Colorado as their home. We are from all various backgrounds and locations across the state. What we would like to do is establish correspondence with Metropolitan State College of Denver students who are curious about our situation.

A very short time ago, we seven were members of a Marine Corps Reserve Artillery Unit located in Aurora, Colorado. Now we are in Camp LeJeune, N.C. pre­paring to head over to the conflict in Southwest Asia (the Gulf). As we prepare ourselves physically and

• mentally for the gulf war, we still constantly think of home!

We would like to set up some kind of editorial response for your publication and give students a different perspective on the war and the direction we

seven Marines are headed in. If students would like to send letters of encourage­

ment, discouragement, happenings from Denver, etc. .. all would be greatly appreciated.

History, not philosophy, will decide right to fight Editor,

Is it just, right, or wise to use military force against Iraq? Dr. Jon Avery, a MSCD philosophy instructor recently addressed this topic in a letter to this paper. I find it quite noteworthy that he has been able to absolutely determine the "correct" moral and ethical definition of killing, a problem which has been debated by the greatest philosophers of the ages. Hopefully, they are taking note.

The just-war theory was formulated by Thomas Aquinas and developed into its present form by Hugo Grotius, who is often called the father of international law. Recognizing the human propensity toward war and the need for nations to be able to defend them­selves and their interests, its purpose is to provide a foundation of objective standards for judging the merits of war, and to present a moral obstacle to wars that fall outside these recognized parameters. There are seven criteria tor a war to be considered morally justified: •The cause itself must be just, aimed at deterring or repelling aggression, or righting a grievous wrong. •The war must be undertaken by a legitimate authority. •The ca~se itself must be just, aimed at deterring or repelling aggression, or righting a grievous wrong. •There must be a right intention, such as defending against great injury. •There must be probability of

By Lawrence Jones

, I

.... · .. • . .:.:.· ...

success in achieving the purpose. •There must be proportionality of both goals and means: Goals must be commensurate with the probable costs of war, and the means employed must be commensurate with the goals. •Discrimination must be exercised so that, as much as possible, the immunity of noncombatants is respectful. •The war must be the last resort.

The actions of the U.S. have been predicated upon these standards. Within the context of the just-war theory there are debatable issues, especially in regard to noncombatants and the probability. of success (if success is defined in terms of stabilization of the Mid­East). No one can deny Dr. Avery his right to express his own moral preference against the use of force to settle differences. To imply, however, that President Bush has no right to make decisions with moral and ethical implications because he "shouldn't venture into the area of philosophy" is absurd and elitist.

America's present course may very well be a mis­take. History will show whether it was right or wise to engage in this action: but, the issues should be debated within the arena of philosophical and political criteria and not mixed with an emotional personal attack.

A view from the press box I RIE-FS

Dale ~hrull Sports Editor

When Hosea McQuilla left Denver Jan. 28, there was a strong · possib9tty that he would make the trip to Saudi Arabia.

As it turned out he dodged a bullet. The figurative kind of projectile, not the literal. The Army sent Hosea back hobe.

On the night of Jan. 31, he arrived in Fort Lee, Va. toreportforactivedaty. The Army shortly thereafter turned I:iim down for medical reasons. Technicall~ you could say he flunked his physical. -~

A curvature of his spint was Hosea's ticket away from the Persi~ Gulf.

"Ididn 'treally fail (the phrsical),"Hosea said. "When I joined (the ~y) in 1985, my back was the same as it's now."

McQuilla said the decisibn he made in 1985 was his, since he volunfeered and there wasn't the wartime situati<f there is now.

McQuilla may not be out of the desert

yet. ~ In six months the Arm may be calling again.

WhentheArmydetected hebackaliment they released him out of possible active duty and placed him back int~the Individual Ready Reserve.

For the most part, M Quilla's back doesn't give him trouble but here have been times when it does. "Early j.n the (basket­ball) season, I told Adrian (Hutt) that my back was hurting," he said. \

Now that McQuilla is bac~ in Denver, he's contemplating his future. He's also a little irritated by how the Army changed his life with one telegram.

McQuilla said he knows being called into active duty would have a).tered his en­tire life. But the time and process the Army used to make the decision was la real pain to McQuilla. I

The baffling thing to McQuilla was why

.\

Army says no way Hosea

McQuilla sent home with bad back the Army elects to fly people all over the nation for physicals.

"There were 500 to 700 people in the gym, getting checked out," McQuilla said about the Fort Lee facility. "They sent at least 250 people home for some reason.

"There were pregnant ladies there and people from all over - California, Texas," he added.

McQuilla said he doesn' t understand why the Army can't give people physicals close to their home towns instead of flying them all over the country. And like McQuilla found out, in many cases the Army sends them back home.

Carmi Eichhorn, an Army spokesperson, said that when the Army calls inactive re­servists to active duty they will send them to a specific area to be re-trained.

Since McQuilla was a supply clerk in the Army before, Fort Lee would have been the place they re-train supply personnel.

"It's taken for granted they're ready to go," Eichhorn said.

But the Army decided that McQuilla wasn't ready to go. Even though the Army rejected McQuilla nearly as soon as he ar­rived, the damage had already been done.

All the arrangements had been made. Classes dropped, books returned and the psychological adjustment, for possible war duty, made.

"I'm happy to be back, but I decided to wait a semester before I go back to school," McQuilla said. "Missing one day is like missing a whole week."

As annoyed as McQuilla is with the Army, he's even more happy with the delay in his active duty status.

Yes, the Army will most likely be calling him again in six months. Maybe his back will be well enough for the Army to take him

then. But for now, Hosea McQuilla is just happy to be home.

"They really go hand in hand," McQuilla said about his happiness of being home and the disappointment of having to drop his classes .

School is the main priority for McQuilla. He plans on attending summer school, prob­ably in his home state of South Carolina. .

"My mom talked to me and she was concerned about me going back to school," McQuilla said.

After summer school, he plans to be back at Metropolitan State College of Denver in the fall. Ready to begin classes and get ready for basketball. As head coach Bob Hull said, "His scholarship will be here waiting for him."

The fall is a long time away - eight months. In the month of July - six months from now - there may be a mandatory change of plans. A change issued by the U.S. Army.

"I just appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers, when I left," McQuilla said concerning the attention he received when he was called up.

In six months, Western Union may come calling in the form of a voucher. Just like the one they sent him Jan. 26.

If there' s still a need for the United States to call up reservists, Hosea McQuilla will be on their mailing list.

But ifthe war in the Persian Gulf ends in the next six months, things may be different - for a lot of people.

''That's what I'm hoping for ... and have all the troops come home," said Hosea McQuilla, Individual Ready Reservist, stu­dent, college basketball player.

We all do Hosea. We all do. 0

Diver makes Nationals Cory Douglas, a member of the Met­

ropolitan State College of Denver women's swim team, made a giant leap in the meet against Colorado College Feb. 7.

Douglas, a one-meter diver competi­tor, was MSCD's second qualifier for the NCAA Division II Nationals this season.

To qualify for the Nationals, Douglas had to accumulate at least 245 points in six dives. She squeezed over the edge with a point total of 246.35.

During the team's practice in the fall, Douglas, an Overland High School graduate, missed nearly one month with an illness, head coach Steve Hadley said. Following the Christmas break she missed more practice with another illness and a shoulder injury has hampered Douglas through much of the season.

The Nationals will be held March 12, 13 and 14 in Milwaukee.

Joining Douglas on the trip to the Na­tionals will be senior swimmer JeffNeary. He qualified in a meet earJier this season in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events.

Roberts leads nation Holly Roberts of the Metropolitan

State College of Denver women's bas­ketball team has spent much of the sea­son hovering around the top of the NCAA Division II rebound leaders.

Roberts, a 6-foot sophomore center, has regained the nation's top spot in rebounding with 14.5 average.

A Green Mountain High School prod­uct, Roberts has three games of 20 or more rebounds this season. She has led the 'Runners in rebounding in 18 of their 23 games this season.

'Runners' streak now at 6; showdown with USC looms Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Following a 83-67 loss to the Regis College Rangers, things weren't looking too good for the Roadrunners.

Since that Jan. 21 drubbing, the Metro­politan State College of Denver men's bas­ketball team have turned things around.

The proof is in the numbers: six wins in a row, a record-setting 122 points in their last outing, two consecutive Colorado Ath­letic Conference Pia yer of the Week winners and a number 14 ranking in the Top 20.

Feb. 7, the 'Runners avenged their only CAC loss by pounding Regis 92-76 on the Rangers' home court.

February 9, the California State-Sacra-

mento Hornets were the latest victim claimed by the 'Runners. MSCD annihilated the Hornets 122-92, setting a club record for most points.

Senior point guard Adrian Hutt led the 'Runners by dishing off an NCAA Division II 25 assists in the game. He also held onto the ball enough to score 12 points.

Senior center Fred Brown shredded the Hornets for 30 points on 14-of-21 shooting from the field and Ralph Rivers added 22.

The 'Runners remain atop of the CAC with a 5-1 record. The next test for MSCD will be a big one. Feb. 16 the 'Runners will travel to Pueblo to battle the CAC' s second place team, the University of Southern Colorado.

MSCD beat USC 86-80, Jan. 26 in Den-

ver. Head coach Hull said USC's strength lies

in their shooting. Hull said USC is leading the CAC in field-goal percentage at 52 per­cent and is hitting on 44 percent from three­point range.

' 'They have great balance and they are an outstanding shooting team," Hull said.

Even though USC is battling for the CAC crown, they won't be eligible to qualify for the NCAA Division II Tournament this season. Since they entered Division II last season, USC must wait two years before becoming eligible. They can still qualify for the NAIA Tournament.

Hull said USC would definitely be ranked in the regional rankings and maybe the Top 20 if they were eligible. 0

Ralph Rivers, MSCD's leading scorer, and the 'Runners find themselves atop CAC.

Hutt wins CAC honor, sets NCAA assist mark When it comes to the Colorado Athletic

Conference Player of the Week award, Metropolitan State College of Denver has cornered the honor.

For the second consecutive week an MSCD men's basketball player has received the award.

Adrian Hutt, 24, assisted his way to the award last week. Hutt, a5-foot-9-inch senior, set an NCAA Division II record with 25 assists in the Roadrunners' 122-92 win over California State University-Sacramenlo.

Hutt's totals for the week were easily impressive enough to warrant the CAC honor: 31 assists, eight rebounds, eight steals, 29 points, while leading the 'Runners to two Adrian Hutt

wins. After his record-setting 25 assists, Hutt is

now averaging 10.3 assists a game; that total has him leading the nation in the assist department.

After setting an MSCD school record for assists with 227 and ranking 13th in the nation with 7 .1 assists a game last season, Hutt was actively promoted by MSCD as an All-American candidate before the season.

"He has a good shot at making the all­region team," said head coach Bob Hull. "He should be a (ALI-American) candidate, he's very deserving."

With 206 assists so far this season, Hun's total is know 433 for his career, an MSCD

There's an

school record. He has also amassed 77 steals on the year, giving him J 79 for his career. The school record is 181, held by Gene Edwards. Earlier this season Hutt broke the MSCD record for steals in a game with 10. The Peoria, Ill. native then broke something else - his left hand, in a game against the University of Wyoming. Missing only three games, Hutt bounced back faster than first expected.

The week previous to Hutt winning the CAC honor, senior forward Tim Moser claimed the award. MSCD women's basket­ball player Holly Roberts also won the women's version of the award three weeks ago. 0

MSCD women eclipse school record for wins Met Staff

The Metropolitan state College of Den­ver women's basketball team has done it.

The 1990-91 team is now the proud owners of the MSCD record for most wins in a season.

After the Roadrunners pounded Colorado Christian University, 76-42, Feb. 9 they upped their record to 11-12. The 11 wins tied the school mark for wins. Last year's team had a record of 11-16.

The record fell Feb. 11, when MSCD blasted Colorado Athletic Conference op­ponent the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, 61-31. MSCD's overall record is now 12-12.

The 'Runners coasted to the easy victory in a game that was never close.

Sophomore center Holly Roberts led the balanced MSCD scoring with 13 points. Three other 'Runners tallied IO points: freshman forward Natalie Dittmer, sopho­more forward Noelle Braunschweiger and freshman guard Jeanine Butzine.

Roberts also led MSCD in rebounding with 10.

This was their second win over Colorado Christian this season. MSCD had a 19 point win earlier in the year.

The 'Runners are now 4-4 in the CAC. The 12-12 record marks the first time in

Yesterday, watching the latest on the war on CNN, Iraq bombed Tel Aviv and the Patriot interceptor failed to make contact. In horror and utter helplessness, I watched as bleeding, wounded people were placed in ambulances and taken to hospitals.

The war has become intensely personal to the peoples of the world because of instantaneous televised newscoverage. I am totally in awe of our air defense planes and land machinery (something I would never have known about had I not seen it on 1V). I have much more respect and admiration for all of our military people in the gulf area and on our home bases working around the clock for my freedom - hopefully for the freedom of all people.

In view of all of this horror, an additional horrible incident hap­pened - immediately following the coverage of Injured people and several minutes coverage of blownup homes and the de­molished personal possessions of these people, a newswoman interrupted with the insidious report that activity on the stock market had dramatically increased due to the recent report of the bomb attack in Tel Aviv.

I was sick that such insensitivity is so commonplace. The message that I got from this coverage didn't appear to take into account that these were 'actual, live people laying in the street with blood streaming from several wounds - that these were the ruined remains of their belongings strewn on the curbing with strangers walking all over them.· How on earth can they report bombings and stock prices rising in the same breath? How can we (and the reporters) keep a proper perspective of what we all have in common here - WAR - and WAR IS HELL especially if you are in Israel, Kuwait, Iraq, and the Salties and not on Wall Street en­gaged in a frenzy of increased trading activity perpetuated by the misfortunes of the people of the gulf.

I found myself crying because I simply felt so helpless, so ineffec­tive.

Darlene, a Metro student

Dear Darlene:

In reading through your letter several times while preparing a response, many of my own memories of the scene that you describe came vividly back to my awareness. The feelings that we have in response to the events that are occurring in this war range from shock and disbelief to honor, revulsion, and anger. Many or most of these emotions are seen in victims of trauma, and, it seems to me that each of us is in some way vulnerable to being traumatized by the war. And, apart from how we might feel about the morality of the war in the Middle East, each of us is left needing to figure out how we might cope with this reality.

Your response to the juxtaposition of the personal devastation of a missile attack with a sudden rise on the stock market seems to me to be a very sane reaction to the insanity of that situation. In a very real sense, I would be much more concerned if you had not felt the way you d id.

Saying this, I want to suggest that an important, and for many of us necessary element in dealing with our emotions is to find someone with whom you can share your feelings. Being able to turn to others for support and understanding can help you as you struggle with what seem to very intense feelings.

Local television stations, the newspapers and some radio stations have announced local support groups that have formed to provide people with a place to find assistance. I am always amazed at how much people who come to a group with some unresolved issue have to offer others.Just having the opportunity to reach out to someone else can In itself be a healing experi­ence. I would encourage you to do just this, and find someone or a group where you can share your own story with others.

P.S. to all readers: If you have found some specific groups helpful to you in coping with the war, or have had a particularly useful or meaningful interaction that you would like to share. please write it down and drop it by the Counseling Center. We'll try to share some of these in a later column.

You can sa~ many · gs·aboutMacintosh.

But "I caii't afford it" is no longer one of them.

YOU can talk about how simple the Apple® Macintosh® computer is to use. Or how it can think the way you think. Or how compatible it is with other computers.

But think again when the word "expensive" comes to mind. Because it's just not true any more.

Introducing the Macintosh Classic® computer. It's the most affordable Macintosh, yet it has all the capabilities you need to handle basic applications, such as word processing and spreadsheet

analysis. The Classic· is a completely integrated -Macintosh system. Its monitor, keyboard, mouse and system software are all included, as are extras you might not expect-such as built-in networking and the Apple SuperDrive"' disk drive, which lets the Classic read from and write to MS-DOS, OS/2, and ProDOS® files.

Stop in today. We'll show you how it's possible for nearly anyone to afford a Macintosh. Comfortably . .
