CCD administration· faces charges

,

Keith Dallas: "We want...to conform to JBC guidelines."

by Karen Breslin /

Five grievances, including misappropriation of funds and violation of affirmative action, has been filed against the CCD Central Administration by three CCD instructors.

The charges were filed Sept. 11 and are just now advancing through the five-step grievance procedure for Colorado's Com­munity Colleges.

Keith Dallas, CCD-A instructor and member of the College's Policy and Welfare Committee (a faculty group also supporting the grievances) believes both the misappropriation of funds and the affirmative action grievances will ultimately be taken to the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education.

Allegations of misappropriation of funds deals with administrative use of resident instruction funds - funds appropriated for faculty salaries and instructional costs.

Dallas said administrative costs, including salaries for three public relations positions, a vice­president for instruction and­college catalogue expenses, are paid for out of resident instruction funds, not out of administrative

appropriations, which he said is a violation of Joint Budget Commit­tee guidelines.

"We want our RI account to conform to JBC guidelines," he said.

The administration, however, sees no violation:

"Positions charged out of resident instruction were ap­propriately charged out of resident instruction,'' said Ed Taylor, director of Personnel Services.

''There has been no miasp­propriation,'' he said. Taylor said there is no clear definition of what should be charged out of the RI account.

"It's not real well understood what constitutes resident instruc­tion," he added.

"They (the policy and welfare committee) contend that RI means only these positions, the college maintains that it could .be any position that supports resident in­struction.''

Taylor is more directly involved in the affirmative action grievan­ce, which he believes will be resolved in the early stages of the dispute and will not reach CCD's governing boards.

ttews The Royal Foreman case· Part two

Death on a :1one.ly country-road - , by Brian .J. Weber I

In the fall of 1978 Roy Foreman was a student at UCO. Now, he attends classes at an extension center of the University of Southern Colorado. The surroundings are not conducive to lear-

..._ ning. There are bars on the windows and everyone wears identical denim uniforms.

It has been an education, though. Until a few weeks ago the Veterans

Administration paid for Roy's classes. They stopped his G.I. benefits when they discovered he was in prison. Roy's arrest

f and conviction in September 1979 for fir­st-degree murder erased the six years he served in the Air Force. Now he is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary in Canon City for a crime he swears he did not commit - a crime another man has confessed to.

~ Roy Foreman - student, veteran, volunteer swim coach, husband and father of two children - finds himself in a situation that totally contradicts what he thought this country represented.

On January 16, 1979, Roy Foreman was in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong person.

,,._ Foreman's friend Robert Shaw, a 22-year old mechanic, was depresed. His wife had left him. He was consuming · nearly two grams of speed a day - and . the speed was beginning to consume him. He was losing his house, his business and -

On Sunday, January 1979, Dale Stubblefield, 22, came home from Roqert Shaw's house. Stubblefield was shaken up. He told his girlfriend that Shaw had

... accused him of stealing 'Some money and drugs and that Shaw said he would "get" whoever was responsible. Stubblefield told his girlfriend not to worry too much. Shaw was always trying to scare people by acting tough. ·

Two days later, Stubblefield again , - went to Shaw's house. He never came ·

habit would kill him someday. On the way to the track they stopped

at Foreman's apartment and at the recreation center where he coached. Foreman wanted to show Shaw there were other things in life besides drugs. Shaw was not interested.

"Shaw was kind of twisted up and was rubbing his arm," Roy recalls. "He was angry or despondent or something -I don't know."

Roy suggested they call off the drive to the track, but Shaw insisted they go

them that Shaw suspected Stubblefield and Don Morgan of robbing him but denied that Shaw meant any threats seriously.

The police then '1nterrogated Don

Morgan, a drug dealer who was out on parole from a burglary conviction. He had seen prison first-hand and did not want to experience it again. ' Under in'tense pressure, Morgan said that Shaw had admitted shooting Stub­blefield and that Shaw "associated with a black guy named Roy.'' Morgan signed a statement saying: '1Bob Shaw admitted to me that he and Annie took Dale out in the country to meet Roy and a couple of other people - I don't know who they were - and that the:;. shot Dale and he was dead, and that Dale would never be found again ... He said Dale was shot in the head and ... fell down and he shot Dale two more times ... He also said they put Dale's body in the trunk of a car and that it was a bloody mess.,, _

felony, conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping and robbery.

Anita Soffa had never been in trouble before. Now she found herself in a precarious position. The police offered her an option: either give a statement im­plicating Shaw in return for immunity from prosecution, or stand trial with him for murder. She chose immunity.

Detective Duer questioned Soffa for four hours in her attorney's office. The tapes and notes of that session were later destroyed. According to Sergeant Browdl' the police wanted to ~ranscribe Soffa's statement, but her -attorney wanted it paraphrased. All that remains is an un-

, dated and unsign~d four-page summary. Anita Soffa has since renounced nearly all of that statement.

At the preliminary hearing in March,

''Anita Soffa had never been in trouble before. Now i.

she found herself in a precarious position.'' '

prosecutors dropped the kidnapping · charge for lack of evidence. At the same

time, Don Morgan admitted he really didn't know anything about Roy Foreman. Shaw and foreman were held without bail pending trial on the other charges.

Prosecutors . now admit there may have been some mitigating circumstances in Foreman's case and that he did not seem like the type of guy who would commit murder.

They were still convinced there were grounds for conspiracy charges, though. They wanted Roy to plead gtJilty to lesser charges and make a statement agamst Shaw.

Foreman refused to make such a deal because he was innocent of all charges.

Roy was accused of being a com­plicitor (one who aids, abets or advises another in committing a crime). The alleged complicitor is almost always tried after the principal (the main defendant). Not this time. In fact, it may be the first time in Colorado history that the alleged complicitor in a murder trial was tried , before the principal. Next week: The trial

Mt'COY's job descrip.tion unclear • I by Joan Conrow I Ir' Rhody McCoy does whatever MSC

President Donald Macintyre "orders me, directs me, asks me to do."

As special assistant to the president of MSC for urban affairs, McCoy makes $42,800 per year. Yet, exactly what he

~ does is unclear. "There are no job descriptions for

assistants to the president and other top administrators," McCoy said. Nor was he hired through a search committee ''that I know of.''

McCoy said he is "involved in urban ~ affairs as it relates to the college and the

community." He said he "meets with people in the community and finds out what Metro might do to address those needs."

The type of information he gathers includes meeting with local businesses to see if MSC can "accomodate their em­ployees in non-traditional ways," and "explaining Metro is a wise and viable choice" to "students who have a percep­tion of Metro that has in some way prevented their applying and entering." ·

McCoy declined to provide other, more specific examples of his duties, but said Macintyre "gives me assignments regularly." .

Besides ''single-handedly recruiting 30 students," McCoy believes "just my presence here'' has benefited MSC. He thinks the community feels "Metro is wise in its choice" of hiring "a nationally known educator.''

However, he considers his job "more substantive than public relations"

:; because he is "involved with information gathering, data collecting and inter­preting."

McCoy, who has a doctorate in education, has worked in New York City, Washington, D.C., and most recently, at the University of San Francisco. He thinks his "reputation in the minority community has attracted favorable in­terest" to MSC.

Student services now merged at Auraria

by Ondy Hosoya After prodding from the state

- legislature, Aur~ria's schools have con­solidated their student services into the Auraria Student Assistance Center.

For two years, public discussions, proposals and counter-proposals were considered. As an alternative to total merger, Auraria institutions pooled time, money and resources in an effort to offer student services.

Under the terms of House Bill 1498, the Auraria Higher Education Center and the three Auraria schools were en­couraged to consolidate student services to avoid duplicate programs.

With the guidance of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, AHEC managed the consolidation. The center located in the Central Classroom Buildi~g. room 108, was established' in July and by Septembei; it was fully operational.

Since student services became streamlined many people are confused about who does what.

"Even faculty members are con­fused as to who I work for," said Steve Shipley, director of the Job Placement Center.

The Job Placement office works closely with the business community to locate jobs for current students and per­manent employment for graduates. There is no fee for the service.

The Student Employment Service, a branch of the Job Placement Office,

• posts daily notices of jobs. Counselors are on hand to help students arrange in­terviews and get specific information on particular jobs.

Another branch of the Job Placement Office is the Graduate Placement Service. This service provides

~._ graduating students with a variety of ser­vices, such as a credentials file which can be sent to potential employers at the student's request, and information on businesses recruiting graduates.

The Job Placement Office also

provides individual counseling t>n job search techniques, resume writing and in­terviewing, and a ca.reer resource library.

Another office in ~e c~nter is Disabled Students Services. This office serves handicapped students from MSC and UCD. CCD already had a com­prehensive program for handicapped students, so their center remained intact when the Auraria Assistance Center was formed. CCD students should continue to use that school's center of the · Physically Disadvantaged.

Disabled Student Services offers pre­admission couns'e1ing, acad~ic support . such 1lS note 'fakersi~infer,pret.et.s · fot · tbC;,:• deaf: cla5Sro6m iexi modificatiori, aha _' various kinds of adaptive equipment.

The Handivan provides on-campus transportation for the handicapped and temporarily handicapped. The Handivan is available to students who have been in­jured in accidents as well as the han­dicapped.

"We want people to use the Han­divan," said Patricia Yaeger, director of the Disabled Student Services. "Right now it just isn't being used as much as we'd like it to be."

For Handivan route information call 629-3474. Faculty and staff who need help in communicating with tile han- · dicapped should also , contact the Disabled Students Services for advice.

International Student Services assists foreign students with housing, im­migration regulations; personal and academic counseling. A full-time staff member already has a good relationship with foreign students, according to Bon­nie McCune, AHEC's public information director.

The Counseling Referral Service in the center provides emergency personal counseling and referral to appropriate agenCies for continued counseling in per­sona 1 and academic areas. .

All students may use the various ser­vices the Auraria Student Assistance Cen­ter offers.

Rhody McCoy: $42,800 a year and no job description.

"I can bridge some gaps, or be a link between the black community and the college," McCoy said. "My experience will allow me to do just that."

McCoy, ·who.has held his position at MSC since January 1980, said he was "not sure" how he heard about the position being available.

"Obviously I knew Dr. Macintyre was the president of Metro," McCoy said. "In some of our discussions we had discussed I may be of assistance to him because of my background. His leader­ship was exciting enough to me to want to join."

We have something for everyone.

EditOiiGi .Trustees insult MSC students

by Sal Ruibal

The Trustees have insulted the students and faculty of Metropolitan State College. When MSC's governing board allowed Michael Howe to remain on the public payroll, they told us liars will not be punished. They said deception will not only be condoned, it will be rewarded - with almost $4,000 a month in Colorado tax dollars.

Student Body Presidential Report

Four thousand dollars a month! Most MSC studen­ts don't make that much money in a year.

The Trustees have taken the position that Howe's contract was terminated by mutual agreement. Mutual agreement? Michael Howe lied about his qualifications. Why is that contract even binding? Why should the taxpayers of Colorado pay the full salary of an administrator who did not meet the minimum stan­dards for the job? At the very least, Howe should be

Hopkins' views and concerns I asked to do this week's column so I could give my

views and concerns. First, I want to acknowledge Ms. Becky Imatani

and Ms. Marsha Teale for their outstanding contribu­tion to MSC's 1st Annual Walk-Jog-A-Thon. At Latest count the event has over $20,000 in pledges with the Athletic Department, the Music Department, and the Child Care Center leading the pack. Also, some 300 people (students, faculty, and administration) have run in support of their favorite club or organization.

Ladies and Gentlemen, that's two major events for , ~C (t.he?,Student Gover~nt-sponsored .Bizarre? arul this school-sponsored Walk-A-Thon) whose purpose was to allow clubs and,organWations the opportunity to earn monies for their operations. My sense is that the people who supported their clubs at these events had a good time doing so.

Being thirty-six, married, a full-time student and holding a full-time job, I understand the diverse needs of our Student Body. Please understand that the Bizarre and the Jog-A-Thon served a purpose at MSC and these events are not exclusive. That is to say that those of you with other ideas for meeting MSC's needs should bring them forward.

Student Government salaries have been eliminated or reduced so that student fees are available to rtlpport and benefit the largest number of students. As of Sep­tember 30th only 14.411/o of the Student Government Budget had been spent. That 14.40/o includes monies spent to cover bills from the 79-80 academic year.

MSC is unique among higher educational facilities, and we are establishing our own unique traditions. The Student Government Leadership Conference sponsored by the Consortium and MSC really brought this out. As we exchanged ideas with the Leaders from Wes tern State, Mesa, and Adams State, MSC's non-traditional

Letters Cancer no laughing matter

In your editorial "Surviving with Ronnie and Nan­cy" in the November 12 issue of THE METRO POLIT AN, refering to ·Nancy Reagan you state that she "is not an alcoholic (yet) and still has all her body parts." This is an obvious reference to former First Lady Betty Ford, who suffered from alcoholism and cancer - fair game, I guess, for macho newspaper writers.

Even when such low blows are written under the guise of humor, they are enough to make decent people sick. Please raise your journalistic sights a little bit. Talk about no class!

Gloria Kennison

aspects became very apparent. Future columns will ad­dress some specifics from this conference.

What is also becoming more and more apparent is the old paradigm, which dictates either-or, right-wrong, & adversarial postures, will not see us through. We need to become aligned with the emerging (world-wide)

. paradigm which recognizes that we all make a difference and in fact our only choice is how it will be manifested, i.e., covertly/ irresponsibly or overtly/ responsibly.

We will be voting on new members for the S.A.C. and the Curriculum Committee very soon (December 10

•'& 11). I sincerely hope we demand involv.ement from those who would serve us. Contrary to popular belief, involvement is not contagious, it is unavoidable . . We need elected student officials who are willing to dispell the image of MSC students as irresponsible and unreliable. That will require a selfless dedication which will jeapordize fragile egos. There is most definitely a role for Student Government to fill on this campus. We have to remind faculty and administration and the legislators as well as to what this campus is about and who must ultimately be served.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there are many issues facing us as students: the Student Health Center and its fun­ding mechanism; our Health Insurance program parameters; the anatomy of the school and the con­stituent segments thereof.

It is the recognized task of the executive branch of Student Government to make all issues known to all, but no one has the option not to act toward resolution of such issues. It has been said that either we make decisions or they are made/or us.

To paraphrase Nietzche, most of what I have writ­ten was for all and none.

Semantically Yours, Fred Hopkins

I wish to call attention to your editorial that ap­peared in the Nov. 12 issue entitled "Surviving with Ronnie and Nancy." I feel that your comment concer­ning the status of Nancy Reagan's body parts was totally unwarranted.

Assuming that you were referring to the fact that Betty Ford had to have a mastectomy I found the com­ment offensive. Surely you are aware that breast cancer is a realistic threat to all women (men aren't immune either) and it is no joke to those women who have gone through the ordeal of a mastectomy.

True, Nancy's polka-dot dress has "no class" -your comment even less. Besides, are body parts, missing or present, relevant"° the presidency?

S. Smith

forced to return a portion of the salary he received un- • der false pretenses. .,.

The whole issue brings up the question of whether the Trustees are qualified to manage Metropolitan State College. The Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges also oversee three other state colleges. All of the others are small (average enrollment 4000; MSC totals 14,000) and in isolated areas (Alamosa, Grand Junction and Gunnison). MSC is large and in the center of one of America's fastest-growing metropolitan areas.

The Trustees are not elected and have maintained a very, very low profile. It is time the Trustees were ex-P-2~~-g_tQ_!ll~J>_~~-~-c;rqiinY- as fue_CU Bo.ard.ofRegents ________ _ It is time the trustees became responsible to the citizens of Colorado. The citizens deserve better than the em­ployment of known liars.

1980 editor of The Metropolitan. Applicants must be enrolled at MSC or UCO. Successful applicants will have at least 18 months experience on a campus newspaper and a minimum of six months editorial supervisory experience.

news Voyager I brings Saturn closer

by James R. Laursen -:;--:---..,..,

Saturn, thought to be the outermost of the planets in anc~ent times, is a giant world. Saturn's equatorial diameter is 75, 100 miles, large enough to put 800 ear­ths inside. The orbit of Saturn is ·soo,000,000 miles from the earth.

Although Saturn is massive, its den­sity is less than that of water. It is said that is Saturn could be dropped into a vast ocean, it would float.

Before the Voyager mission it was thought there were only six rings round Saturn, now it is known that the rings are composed of hundreds, maybe thousands of ringlets.

Saturn's rings are not solid or liquid sheets. They are composed of small par­ticles moving around Saturn like dwarf satellites. The ring particles are thought to be made of ammonia ice crystals ranging in size from 30 centimeters to tens of meters across.

The outer surface' of Saturn is gaseous. There is detectable methane, molecular hydrogen and a large quantity of helium. The surface has small spots, vivid colors and large storm systems. This inactivity on the planet may be due to the low temperature of -300 °F on the sur­face.

The center of the planet is theorized as being made of hydrogen in a metallic state, 15 times as massive as earth, under a pressure of 50 million atmospheres.

One atmosphere is equal to about 14 pounds/square inch, gravity at sea level on earth.

Saturn takes 29 years to complete one revolution around the sun. Though it has a long 'year' Saturn has a very short day, only 10 hours, 39 minutes and 24 seconds. The belts of coloration seen on the planet are caused by the speed of rotation elongating the cloud covered surface.

There seems to be no prospect of finding life on Saturn as Voyager flies within 125 ,000 kilometers of the planet.

As Voyager passed Titan it tested atmosphere for the correct constituents of life. According to NASA, Voyager found an atmosphere with a pressure two to three times that of earth. The com­position of the atmosphere was found to be mostly nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide. NASA thinks this is a result of methane and ammonia gases freezing out of the ice on the surface. Titan is the only body other than earth in the solar system

that has been found to contain the chemistry for life.

On its long voyage through the solar system, Voyager 1 has discovered rings around Jupiter. One of its satellites, lo, has active volcanism on the surface. As Voyager approached Saturn from Jupiter it observed three new satellites, the 13th, 14th and 15th.

The 13th and 14th, called Shepher­ding Satellites, were found in a new ring, the F-ring. The F-ring is a strange ring ac­tually composed of three separate rings intertwined around each other. It is thought that the two moons were really one moon that split apart. These moons are believed to keep the particles in the F­ring stable in their orbit rtmnd Saturn.

70,000 pictures eventually will be returned from both missions. Voyager 1 included photographs of five other Saturn satellites in its survey around the planet. Saturn's satellites are of a new class which contain more ice than solid rock in their composition.

One of the satellites, Tethys, is about 500 kilometers in diameter, and was found to have a surface of ice with a large fault valley and abundant craters on its surface. The moon has a topography, which is unusual for an ice planet, accor­ding to NASA.

Nimas, about 350 km in diameter, has a huge crater on its surface. The 100 km diameter crater would have destroyed the planet if it had been any larger, ac-

cording to Dr. Smith of NASA. Rhea looks like Ganymede of

Jupiter. It has a highly reflective surface with diffuse wisps of clouds. It is brighter on the side awaY. from the sun than the surface facing it.

lapetus, about 1600 km in diameter, has a featureless surface with no markings, according to NASA.

Other findings of the mission show that Saturn's magnetic pole is almost parallel with the axis of the planet.

The dark ring in the middle of the rings, the Cassini Ring, thought to have no matter within it, was found to be full of small rings.

A fifteenth satellite was found on the edge of the large bright A-ring. It is · thought that this moon helps keep the ring particles from moving outward into space.

It was found that the 13th and 14th satellites are on the same orbital path, and the one behind will catch up in January 1982 with the other. Astronomers want to follow these two, to find out if they do in fact collide.

According to Dr. Allen Hibbs, there are no sounds emanating from Saturn as there are from earth and Jupiter.

Voyager 1 will get an extra shove (from Saturn) to swing it out of the eclip­tic plane to look at the galaxy and planets above the plane. It will also photograph the rotation of our solar system and measure galactic winds in deep space.

tlews U.S. Army m~rches on Auraria

by William Struble

In a scene reminiscent of the 1960s, students are on the march again at Auraria. This time, though, they're mar­ching for Uncle Sam.

And, one out of every five students enrolled in Reserve Officer's Training Corps courses on campus are different troopers than from the past. They're women.

The Department of Military Science at MSC provides "regular academic programs" as the English or math depar­tments., except students can't receive a degree in ROTC, _Guy Berry, assistant professor of Military Science said.

The department provides "hands on experience," Berry said.

"Students in all level courses attend about one to two hours per week of classroom instruction and two hours per week of field instruction."

Every semester ROTC students at­tend a weekend field exercise where they are tested on map and compass usage, camouflage, and various other exercises, he said.

It's quite an experience to see "city slickers" getting outdoors for the first time, Berry said.

On the last trip, he said, they learned what it's like to be a little bit cold and damp.

"Being in the ROTC program prepares students to be commissioned for

the Army," he said. The freshman and sophomore cour­

ses are considered introductory, Berry said. Students are taught basic military materials, and leadership and management.

In the first two years students are uncommitted to any future service. Students wishing to continue the program must commit themselves to an extended amount of service after graduation.

''There are 40 students taking military courses at MSC," he said. About 30 are MSC students.

"About 20 percent of the students enrolled at MSC in military science cour­ses are females," he said.

"There are a number of reasons why women join the program," he stated. "Some are nursing students wanting to get a closer look at what their profession is about." Some women are looking for a military career.

Women interested in the Army are really in the "driver's- seat" when it comes to opportunity, be said. There is a real need for women officers.

"Out of 45 specialties, 42 are open to women,'' Berry said.

''There are three fields in which women are off limits - infantry, armor, and field artillery.''

The military is having a problem adapting to the increase of women enlisting, Berry said. "Only in the last five years has there been a significant in-

~~--Rhythm and blues strikes again ~

by Emerson Schwartzkopf

Reviewed this week: HOTIER mAN JULY/ Stevie Wonder/ Tamla T8-373MI TRIUMPH/ The Jacksons/ Epic FE 36424 THE WANDERER/Donna Summer/ Geffen GUS 2000

Rhythm and blues is back .. .if it ever really left.

Obscured by the discotheque craze of the middle and late 1970s, rhythm and blues music is now making a strong comeback in popularity. And it's great.

What differentiated standard rhythm and blues from discotheque music, for the most part, was variety. In­stead of relying on a stomping, hell-for­leather beat with mass orchestrations, rhythm and blues draws from the blues, spirituals, and folk styles with a definite upbeat.

Recently, the trend to making music for listening and dancing is producing some excellent rhythm and blues . Utilizing the exceptional production and recording techniques developed during the discotheque era, a number of rhythm and blues artists - some recent crossovers from discotheque - are releasing meritorious albums.

One artist never needing to make a

crossover, though, is Stevie Wonder. Beginning with Music of My Mind, Wonder tempered his original Motown sound with popular influences, creating a unique rhythm and blues sound typified on Songs Jn The Key Of Life.

Wonder's newest album, Hotter Than July, is more of a continuation of Songs than a brand new product. Rather than experimenting with new styles, Wonder uses Hotter to build upon the smooth sounds that netted him a Gram­my ... and big record sales.

The only departure from the Won­der sound on Hotter comes with the hit

single "Master Blater (Jammin')," where Wonder punches out a reggae backbeat powerful enough to set anyone's foot tapping.

With " Master Blaster (Jammin')" and "Happy Birthday," Wonder also delves into some deeper lyrics ala Inner­visions - noting Third World advan­cement in the former and supporting a movement to make Martin Luther King's birthday a holiday in the latter.

Hotter Than July shows a period of contentment for Wonder, as innovation takes a back seat to the proven pop soun­ds of Stevie Wonder's past. It may not be new, but it's good.

. Perhaps the only person in today's rhythm and blues with as much univer­sal acceptance as Wonder is Michael Jackson. As the cute lead singer for the Jackson 5 in the early 1970s, Jackson scored a few gold records with such im­mortal trash as "ABC" and "Ben."

Recently, however, Jackson took a platinum album (over one million copies

, sold) with his solo effort Off The Wall. And, he may do the same thing again this year with The Jacksons's Triumph.

Trying to tell the difference between a Jacksons 's album and a Michael Jackson record may, however, be an im­possible task. Triumph has the exact sound and style found on Off The Wall,· and on both, Michael Jackson takes complete control of the music.

This is not to say, though, that Triumph is a bad album. Drawing from

Walt Dis11ey's

Motown roots and a discotheque beat, the Jacksons produce a moderate dance record accessable to more than the traditional rhythm and blues market. And, the production of Triumph ranks among the best of funk.

Listeners absolutely hating Off The ~ Wall, however will find nothing en­joyable with Triumph; this is a take it or leave it proposition - but, when reviewing this year's album fare, this record should be taken before a good deal of the rest. -'

Donna Summer's The Wanderer can be left behind with no regrets, however. The queen of discotheque music falls flat with her first effort in the popular rhythm and blues field.

KAGEMUSHA/starring Tatsuya Nakadai/directed by Aldra Kurosawa/a George Lucas-Francis Ford Coppola

' production/20th Century Fox

After this year's telespectacular of Shogun, Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha could be looked upon as a slow, pedantic epic concerning a small bit of Japanese history no one cares about. No sword

• fights, no pretty geishas, no attention. But to compare Kagemusha to

Shogun consitutes a cinematic sin. In­stead of depending on the flash and dash dictated by Nielsen ratings, Kagemusha is a masterful recreation of 16th century Japan and its feudal eccentricities.

(. If nothing else, Kagemusha reaffir-ms the powerful talent of Kurosawa -Japan's most famous film director. Beginning with Rashomon, Kurosawa has gained a following in the West; two of his Samurai films, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, later became the basis for the popular westerns The Magnificent Seven and A Fistful of Dollars.

With Kagemusha, Kurosawa once again draws upon Japanese history and tradition for his story. Unlike Seven

Samurai or Yojimbo, however, Kagemusha is a tale without a protagonist, a hero, or a real victor.

Instead, Kagemusha deals with the falsehood and folly of human nature, of wars and their intrigues. Kurosawa

· What ·really happened·.,. with Jai>an's Shogun?

f

by Russell Scotton Shogun was the second-highest

rated miniseries in television history, and copies of James Clavell's novels still sell fast in bookstores and Safeways alike. But, what's the true story behind Shogun?

Shogun's Toranaga is fictional, but he is most likely based on Tokugawa lyesu, the first Shogun (feudal ruler) of Japan. Following his victory at Sekigahara in 1600, Iyesu became shogun in 1603.

The book and television character of John Blackthome is also fictional, but he did have a historical contem­porary in William Adams, the first Englishman to reach Japan.

Adams, born in Kent, England in 1564, went to the sea early; he appren­tices with Nicholas Diggins, a ship­builder, at the age of 12. After com­manding a ship against the Spanish Armada, he was hired to command a fleet of five ships to the Far East in 1598.

Adams's flagship, the Erasmus, arrived as the only surviving vessel of the journey to the East at Bungo, Japan in April l(J()(). Only five men of the crew could walk or crawl. The Dairniyo of Bungo was a much nicer· person than Shogun's Yabu; due to his care 21 out of the 24 crew members considered alive eventually recovered. However the Spanish and Portuguese wanted the crew crucified as pirates.

Nine days after the landing, Adams was sent to Osaka to meet Iyesu, traveling to Osaka by galley. Adams met Iyesu on May 12th, 1600,

and was sent to prison. Two days later he again met with lyesu, talking until midnight. As a result, Adams was released from prison but kept guarded for 41 days. The Spanish and Por­tuguese still agitated for his execution. It has been suggested they also tried murder.

lyesu confiscated the Erasmus, but gave some compensation. In 1602 the crew was generously pensioned off and forbidden to leave Japan. Several crew members, however, later returned to Europe.

Adams built two seaworthy ships for the Shogun. In around 1608, Adams was rewarded for these and other services with an estate. He was a personal samurai (warrior) retainer of the Shogun, and Adams's estate at Hemi-sura had about 100 tenant far­mers.

Adams married (bigamously) in Japan (having a wife and children in England) and had two children. Adams never returned to England·. He was an advisor to Shoguns, commanding trading voyages to Siam and Vietnam. Adams also was an agent for English merchants. ·

William Adams died May 6, 1620. Adams left 500 pounds to his heirs. In 1980 American dollars this would be about $100,000.

Anjin-sama was the subject of a Japanese melodrama, and several monuments in his honor have been erected in Hemi-sura.

And, according to the En­cyclopedia Brittanica, Adams is honored in Tokyo with a street named after him - the "Anjin-cho."

shows, in this film, the destructive force power can have on individuals - both in their gaining strength and then retaliating it.

Kagemusha is the story of a con­demned criminal saved from cruxifiction by his remarkable resemblance to Lord Shingen, leader of the powerful Takeda clan in 1574. Trained to be a double (the title a'ltaniilg "shadow warrior• i), the

thief becomes a figurehead ruler when the lord is struck down by a sniper's bullet.

Due to a strange provision in the lord's will, the thief must impersonate the lord for three years - no one but the top rulers of the clan must know of the leader's death.

From there, Kagemusha follows the intrigues of the clan as it copes with ex­ternal attacks by rival warlords and in­ternal strife from power-hungry generals. And, new influences from the west -ranging from Christianity to red wines -enter the story to illustrate the crumbling of old traditions.

Kagemusha's most powerful story, though, comes from the thief's transfor­mation from condemned man into coun­terfeit royalty. Brilliantly played by Tat­suya Nakadai, the role portrays the struggle of a man without a soul; the their only impersonates the deceased lord, and his own identity is as dead as if he had in­deed been crucified.

Kagemusha, though, may have . limited audience in the United States Despite being co-winner at the 1980 Can­nes Film Festival, Kagemusha will unfor · tunately be connected by the American public with Shogun - and, lacking the action and marketing of the television series, Kagemusha may receive a stiff bmsh-off from movie goers.

What Kagemusha lacks in souped-up storyline, however, is more than made up by Kurosawa's skillful direction . Although some of the film's 156 minutes may be tedious and boring to some, the deliberate pacing and focus on drama by Kurosawa gives Kagemusha an intil,llate and powerful authenticity ..

The time given to human drama. in­tensifies the effect of Kagemusha's bat­tles, where Kurosawa emphasizes the futility, rather than the glory, of war. The last battle of the film, showing the wholesale slaying of the' Takeda troops, is a chilling argument against the concept of glorious battle and honorable war.

Swimmers planning big surprise ~I I . by Bruce Riley

The swimmers stepped up onto the starting blocks and limbered up their bodies by shaking out their legs and swinging their arms. The black and white striped-shirted official raised his starting gun and told everyone to get ready.

The swimmers bent over, grabbed the block corners, and stared straight ahead. One nervous competitor prematurely dove in, momentarily breaking the tension. His teammates playfully chided him as he swam back to

• remount his block. Again the gun was raised and the

swimmers bent forward and became rigid. This time ttie gun fired "BANG!", and six muscular bodies leaped out as far as they could and exploded the water's surface. The MSC swimming team's second meet was underway.

During the next two hours, members of the MSC, Regis, and University of Wyoming teams backstroked, breast­stroked, freestyled, or butterflied back and forth in the pool lanes; screamed support to teammates from poolside; and

,_ somersaulted, twirled, and dove off diving boards.

After the November 16 meet was over, Coach Dave Lettin sat at the an­nouncer's table and chatted about his team.

"I'm pleased with what I've seen so ._far," he said. "Now that we've been in a

couple of meets, we have a better feel for what kind of shape we're in."

"We need to build up our strength," be added. "We don't have the endurance we need. But they're (the team) working bard and they've got a good attitude."

.1. "We have a better quality team," he said. "Seven out of eight swimmers are returning from last year. They were freshmen; now they have a year's growth and are stronger.''

Assistant Coach Tom Waidman, associated with the team for five years,

,. said it is the best team he has seen. MSC team will be more competitive

and score more points this year, but will be no match for "high quality" teams like the University of Denver and the School of Mines, according to Lettin.

He said some of those teams have as ,many as 22 members.

RPS Re parts

by Ed Knl•s A woman employee was verbally

abused in the Arts building on the night of November 6. She escaped· from the unidentified suspect before any physical contact was made. ·

APS officers caught a man in a very 'sticky situation November 6 in the 10th St. mall. The suspect, charged with carrying a concealed weapon, had an ice pick in his pocket and a sock filled with glue in his mouth.

The Trivia Bowl was interrupted briefly November 11th by a disorderly

-.student, who was promptly charged with harassment by APS officers.

Four purses and their contents valued at more than $670 were stolen on campus this week. Two .bikes worth over $380 were also taken. No arrests were made.

He says the reason th<: schools have bigger teams is they have more money for scholarships and recruiting, freeing. more students from having to work to support themselves while going to school. He said the situation at MSC is just the opposite.

"Metro is a commuter school," he said. "A lot of people work at jobs to support themselves while going to school. We don't have any scholarship money, and swimmers are attracted to other schools where they get scholarships.

Then they're able to concentrate on swimming."

Lettin said he admires his swimmers holding down jobs and studying for school while practicing for meets - prac­tice coming at 5:30 a.m.

Lettin said he expects the team to perform better this year at the Inter­mountain Swimmers League Tournament than past MSC teams.

"Well, we won't be in the cellar," he said. "But it is hard to make a prediction

at this point. We might surprise people. But really, I don't care how we place, just as long as we continue to improve during the season."

And, from Lettin's description of how a swimmer should feel after a race, the team will be working very hard at im­proving.

"A funny thing about swimming," he said. "A swimmer should never feel good after a race - they should feel totally exhausted."

If you're moving within the same telephone exchange or local area, you can reduce installation costs by taking all your desk-type telephones with you when you go. It's a simple matter of unplug­ging them, or cutting the cord. Since we won't have to go out to get these phones, we pass a $5 savings on to you.

And there's still another good way to hold down costs if your home has modular telephone jacks-just pick up the phones you need at one of our / · PhoneCenter Stores. Then you11 . /I save $4 on the installation of your first phone and $1 on each addi-tional phone you take home and plug in. It's well worth looking mto.
