News For~man's· fate not forgotten

~'----- Brian J. Weber Royal Jack Foreman has spent the last

two years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Two years to the day after Foreman's arrest, an appeal has been filed to over-

• turn what some consider to be one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice in recent Colorado history.

On January 16, 1979, Roy Foreman, a 28 year old UCD student, Air Force veteran and 'swim coach, tried to stop Robert Shaw from committing suicide.

-::.shaw, a 22 year old mechanic, was despondent over the loss of his business and his wife, and had also injected speed · twice that day.

When Foreman tried to prevent Shaw from shooting himself Shaw fired a shot :ii at Foreman. When another man, Dale ~

::J '-Stubblefield, grabbed Shaw from behind ~

Shaw panicked and shot Stubblefield, killing him.

Shaw forced Roy, at gun point, to help him dispose of the body and threatened to harm Foreman and his family if he reported the incident. ~ Seven days later Foreman, Shaw and

Shaw's girlfriend, Anita Soffa, were arrested and charg~d with first-degree murder with deliberation, first degree murder while committing a felony, kid­napping, robbery and conspiracy to commit murder.

.. Anita Soffa-, who was at the scene but did not witness 1he shooting gave a statement to the·police in return for im­munity from prosecution. She implicated Shaw in the · statement and · placed Foreman at the scene.

The police later destroyed the tapes ,- and notes of their interrogation of Soffa

and wrote their own summary of her statement.

iS o.__~~~~~~--

Shaw? Foreman's attorney, Michael Heber of

the public defenders office, hopes to find the answers to these questions and other peculiarities of Foreman's conviction.

Heber cites the following points for a review of Foreman's case by the state court of appeals:

• There was insufficient evidence to support the convictions for conspiracy and first-degree murder. In order to con­vict Foreman as a complicitor, the jury first had to find that Shaw knowingly, willingly, and with deliberation killed Stubblefield. There was no evidence that Shaw ever even discussed killing Stub­blefield with Foreman or anyone else. The fact that Foreman helped move the

body doe$ not support the conspiracy charge, nor that he was an active com­plicitor in the shooting. • The police's destruction of Soffa's statement violated Foreman's right to due process of law. Foreman was never informed before or during the trial that the statement attributed to Soffa was ac­tually a summary written by the police. This did not surface until Shaw's trial. • Robert Shaw's testimony at his trial, completely exonerating Foreman, should have been recognized by Judge Greene as newly discovered evidence requiring a new trial for Foreman. • The public defender also hopes to show that Foreman did not receive adequate legal representation. According to Heber, Foreman's first attorney failed to

vigorously pursue a plea bargain offered by the prosecution. Heber has raised the possibility that the scheduling of Foreman's trial before Shaw's may have happened because Foreman's attorney had another murder case pending.

Foreman's attorney also failed to have him testify in his own behalf and to call on any character witnesses. The attorney allegedly did not approach Shaw for voluntary testimony in Foreman's trial despite strong constitutional arguements in favor of such a course.

Additionally, Foreman's attorney failed to challenge a sheriff's daughter who was seated on the jury. In most trials that relationship is automatic grounds for rejection of a potential juror. • Judge Green erroneously admitted hearsay testimony from two witnesses at Foreman's trial. Their statements were admitted even though they dealt with allegations about Shaw rather than Foreman.

Now that the brief has been filed, it is up to the Attorney General's office to decide what action to take. The Attorney General can either fight the appeal or admit error and have Roy Foreman released.

If Foreman's appeal runs a normal course it may take another two years for the courts to make a decision on his case.

Having spent two years of the rest of life in prison, Roy Foreman has learned patience and perseverance.

"Win, lose or draw, l'm going to stick with this thing (the appeal) the whole way," Foreman averred recently. "If they justify my conviction, that means they (the courts and the people who operate them) can do anything, anything whatsoever.''

Foreman was tried in September of 1979 before Judge Richard Greene in Arapahoe District Court. He was accused of being a complicitor (one who aids,

Roy doing ·'hard time' .-tbets or advises another: in com.otiting a

crime) and conspiring to commit mur­der.

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

Normally, the alleged complicitor is -'tried after the prim:ipal co-defendant. Not this time.

Two weeks ·later - before the same judge - Robert Shaw testified at his own trial that he alone shot Dale Stubblefield. He completely exonerated Foreman of any involvement in the shooting,

.... describing Roy as "a· victim and totally blameless."

For reasons they did not explain, the prosecution dropped the conspiracy charges against Shaw. The jury found Shaw guilty of second-degree murder, meaning that there was no deliberation or

•premeditation when Shaw shot Stub­blefield.

At a hearing on June 2, 1980, Greene noted the "apparent inconsistencies of the verdicts," but refused to grant Foreman's motion for a new trial.

Foreman's appeal raises some distur-.. ~ bing questions: How could Foreman be

convicted of helping Shaw plan a murder when Shaw was acquitted of that crime (first degree murder)? How could Foreman have conspired with Shaw, who admitted to the shooting, when prosecutors dropped that charge against

<-

Roy Foreman, a six-year veteran of the Air Force, is not a squeamish man. But the hard realities of prison life have a way of erroding one's perspective.

"It's a zoo in here," Forman said. "The guards harrass you and there is all sorts of racism."

When he first arrived in Canon City he was sure he would never get out again. He has witnessed stabbings and lived with men who hate as well as they breath.

But given the progress in his case he has gained a renewed outlook on his predicament and he possesses a remarkably positive attitude.

"Being locked up, being locked away, really teaches you a different set of values," Foreman said. "The problems you thought you had really aren't problems and that's what learning how to live is all about."

Foreman has learned to live in a place called Shadow Mountain. It sounds like a residential sub-division.

Unlike the planned communities of Southeast Denver, where locks on the doors and bars on the windows are meant to keep people out, Shadow Mountain's security system works in the reverse.

Shadow Mountain is the close-security prison in Canon City.

Roy Foreman helped build the place, earning $2 a day. He is scheduled to spend the rest of his life in it. ·

The new prison was built almost en­tirely with inmate labor under the direc­tion of the Correctional Industries Program. Since its completion the in­mates have nothing to do.

Foreman believes there is good reason for the inmate's inactivity.

"There is a lot of violence in here," Foreman said . "When there isn't anything to do the violence gets worse. When. that happens the administration can go to the legislature and say, See how we need more money to control these people."

Foreman doesn't think that money is the solution to curbing the violence and the recidivism - - the failure of the prison system to rehabilitate prisoners. .

"If you bought a new car and the altei:nator went out, you'd get the alter­nator fixed, right?" Foreman question­ed. "But what if you had 10,000 cars with bad alternators? Would you keep look­ing at the cars or would you gok back to the factory and find out what was wrong

The International Committee Against Racism will hold a forum to discuss the Foreman case and his appeal at 11 :30 a.m. on Feb. 27 at the Auraria Student Center, and a noon rally on Feb. 28 at the Governor's Mansion.

there?" The modern and sterile new buildings

are in drastic contrast to the antiquated and menacing appearance of 'Old Max' several miles down the road. Different facades but similar purpose.

"The only thing that is different are the buildings," Foreman said. "A prison · is a prison."

Despite the futility of prison life, Foreman is extremely rational about his . assessment of his present 'home.'

"If it weren't so absurd it would be funny," Foreman explained. "Don't get me wrong, I hate it here, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.' '

After two years behind bars Roy Foreman has attained a keen insight into the way of life in jail and 'doing time.' He dispelled a belief that most might con­sider to be the norm for convicts; that any long term sentence means an inmate is doing 'hard time.'

"Doing 'hard time' is thinking about what's going on outside," Foreman said. "Thinking about how your wife is doing, your kids, YQUr friends. Most guys don't do 'hard time.' They cease to feel.

"Doing 'hard time' you learn to live with yourself and you never lose hope."

" ' Hard time' is what keeps you alive," Foreman continued. "you 're dead when you don't care anymore.

"I'll always do 'hard time.' "

Sexual harassment no{ to be ignored

by L.J. Clark

"I am an assertive woman, otherwise known by some as a pushy broad."

Linda Bryson, public information specialist for the Colorado Civil Rights Commission was a guest speaker at the February 20 meeting of the MSC Women's Network. The topic of her speech was sexual harrassment.

In stressing the importance of being assertive, Bryson said with a smile, "When you can't get flies with honey, you have to turn on the vinegar.''

When she spoke of assertiveness, she spoke in reference to women, but when she spoke of sexual harassment she made it very clear that she was addressing both sexes.

"Sexual harrassment know no sex. It happens to all: secretaries, construction workers, students."

Bryson said if sexual harassment should happen to a student, there is something he or she can do about it. First make it clear to the professor that you are not interested. If that doesn't work, go to the dean of the department. If that doesn't work, go to your local office of Civil Rights, she suggested.

Bryson quoted facts and figures from a study undertaken by the women's studies department at the University of Colorado - Boulder. It states that 95 percent of the sexual ~rassment that occurs is not

r

reported because of embarrassment, humiliation, or fear of losing one's job.

Bryson said women are most often the victims, with blue collar workers and white collar workers being the most com­mon offenders. The reason for that is the fact that men hold more positions with the power to terminate than women do ..

The Colorado Civil Rights Com­mission defines sexual harassment as ~epeated and unwanted sexual advances that occur while on the job. Some exam­ples are: prolonged leering or staring, someone brushing up against your body when they walk by you, un­solicited squeezing or touching, sexual propositions backed up by threat, and sexual intimacy forced upon you by a superior.

Bryson said that once you file a claim you should be ready for some backlash, even though retaliation isn't legal.

"Your employer will make life holy hell for you," Bryson said. She said you won't get that raise you've been waiting for and that promotion you were aiming for will no longer be available, or you may even be forced to resign.

"But don't quit," she continued. "Go back to the CRC and file a setondary claim, '' also known as a harassment and retaliation claim.

"Sexual harassment is illegal," Bryson declared. "We've closed our eyes too long."

UCD Student Government News

Mike Maxwell, Director of Communications

; r If everything goes' according to plan, UCD students .. ·wm soon be receiving in the mail a ballot for the 1981

Student Government elections. This is the first time I .i - ~ •J

. eJ~ct1on ballots have been mailed to UCO students and 1 yte ' h~pe the r,ri.aHµ.tg ,will . irn;rea~e the usua.l dismal response to student government elections. Only about

~~'.300 or so students usually vote in these elections: a number not ve~y representative of the eight or nine thousand students who attend UCD.

Mailing b.allots was the idea of Paul Kopeky, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Administration at UCD. Dr. Kopeky has been working closely with Student Government's Executive Coup.cil this year and he suggested the mailing apprnach as a way to increase the ,visibility of Student Government and to boost par­ticipation in the election. We on the Executive Council agreed it was a good idea and as arC$ult, the' University administration and Student Government are sharing the costs of the mailing.

This example of cooperation between Student Gover­nment and the University administration is indicative of the good relations which have prevailed between the two bodies during the entire year. The administration has frequently offered support and advice to Student Government officials but UCO administrators have in­terfered not at all in the internal workings of our Student Government.

coooperation to the character of Dr. Kopeky - a con­cerned and able administrator - and to the character of our current Executive Council which has conducted it­self largely in a fair and businesslike manner. · At this point, I wquld like to put in a plug for the

proposed Student Government Constitutional revision which will be on the 1981 ballot. We have worked long and hard on this revision and in it we have tried to create a structure which will encourage the kind of fair and reasonable approach to student government which has worked so well for us this year.

This extensive revision increases the power of the students in relation to the five-member ruling body of · Student Govem~ent, the Executive Council. It provides for a binding appeal 'of Executive Council decisions. It requires the Council to follow the budget priorities ex­tablished by students voting in the elections; it severely restricts the amount of money Student Goverment may spend on itself; and it reduces by half the number of signatures needed to initiate a referendum or recall.

There is another good reason to vote in favor of the Constitutional revision. If it doesn't pass, this election will go for naught and the elections will have to be con­ducted all over again in March as was the procedure un­der the old Constitution.

Letters To the students of Auraria:

This is a challenge to anyone willing to accept it. The challenge will last only one day. It consists of· three items you are asked to do.

1) Do not touch or hold hands in public with the per­son you happen to be in love with.

2) Do not kiss or talk lovingly in public to your boyfriend or girlfriend.

3) You are asked to lie, deny and pretend the person you love doesn't even exist to anyone else you know .

If you are able to accept the challenge and carry it through for the one day, you will begin to feel the pressure that Gay men and ~sbian women feel every day of their lives.

The pressure stems from fear. Fear of harassment because you were seen in public

touching a lover. Fear of losing close friendships cultivated over the

years, if they found out. Fear of being alienated by your family, which can and

is quite painful. But worst of all is .the fear of being caught, and the

screaming confusion that our· sexuality and what we happen to do in bed is against the law.

So, students of Auraria, accept the challenge and try to put yourself in our sho~s for one day. Then ask your­self if it's fair. Hugh Akston LGRC

The days of titles in our democratic country are about to elapse. Medical doctors are being relegated to smaller and more restrictive practice; with untitled medics doing most of the traditional work. Lawyers are safe with their title of esquire only in court; with legal techniciqns doing most of the research. Dentists rarely do more than grind, cap and surgery; with technicians and assistants doing the rest.

Professors with PhD's rarely dig into knowledge; or· teach better than instructors. A PhD even today means only a higher step on a pay scale; the possibility of being a president of some college, and for a very few, a road to knowledge and wisdom. How much original "resear­ch" is done that is relevant to the communication of our culture? And to what end - a middle class status without obeisance from students? Titles don't provide respect without quality. Name withheld by request

.A..• -student Body ~ ·Presidential Report

Sonny Wasinger, ASMSC President •

I believe it is important that any student familiar with the "propaganda" that has been perpetrated against Dr. Rhody McCoy is exactly that. Nothing in the way of allegations made against Dr. McCoy was ever substan­tiated. . It · seems to me that there was a lot of negative publicity concerning Dr. McCoy on this campus. Most of it was, as far as I am concerned, either hearsay, or pure crap. Insinuations that were made fall, under the same category. However, this hearsay was.publicized to the point that the Board of Trustees instructed President Macintyre to ''review the status of Rhody McCoy.'•

Why? What the hell did he do? There are those who would say to me, "Its what be didn't do thai counts." Hey . . . you don't do this kind of thing, people. Allegations were made. None were substantiated. Can this be called harassment of minorities? Very _pQs.sibly, fol.ks.

You might recall that I wrote an artide last semester concerning racism. In the article I stated that racism -exists on this campus. Well, it is quite possible that the case concerning Rhody McCoy (who is, in my opinion, a fine man and well qualified for the position he holds at MSC) is a prime example of racism.

We will sit back and watch what happens. Believe me, though, if I feel that racism is being perpetrated, then I feel it is my duty as a representative of all MSC students • to do something about it. I cannot sit back and allow racists to do tlwir thing. Not at MSC, anyway, as long as I have something to say about it.

New subject: if you haven't voted on how you feel - your student fees should be spent, then please hurry.

There is not much time left in this matter. Please vote .. . don't procrastinate, it's too cliche.

Have a dynamite week! •

Of all the jobs in journalism, writing obituaries remains one of the toughest tasks. When it's about someone you knew, the work becomes that much harder.

Bertram Morris died last week. Factually, that's ._ all there is to say, except for a few standard paragraphs about his age, a list of survivors, and a notation of a few achievements during his life.

The main achievement of Bert Morris, though, was sharing himself with others. His work at the University of Colorado's philosophy department - including the authoring of a number of books, • and starting an outreach program at Manuel High .School - would be large enough distinction for anyone.

Bert Morris, however, did more. His association with Metropolitan State College, as a member of the Board of Trustees, allowed a few of us to gain from his wisdom and experience.

To see Bert Morris at a Trustee meeting was sometimes akin to observing a paradox. He would often sit during discussions and stare blankly into space: at times, he even looked like he was taking a short snooze. When he gave an opinion or asked a question, however, the words were simple, in­telligent, and far-reaching.

Bert Morris also genuinely cared about studen­ts~ He inquired about student feelings and opinions on Trustee business, and always took the time to listen. A couple of us associated with the Trustees usually referred to Bert Morris as "Uncle Bert." It was a title earned with a lot of care and used with respect. '

This is a newspaper, however, and a newspaper cares about facts. Bertram Morris, 72, died at his home in Boulder on February 19, 1981. Per­sonally, t1'ough, those of us who knew Bert Morris received much more than a few facts. He gave a part of himself, and that travels farther in Ol;lf memories than a back page obit read over the morning coffee. We could've used more of Bertram Morris, but what we got will stay with us for a long, long time.

Eeature Acupuncture: ancient medicine

J

by Michael Dann Hayes

It began with a series of questions con-cerning my likes and dislikes.

"What's your favorite color?" "Blue." "What's your least favorite?" "Green, I'm an Army veteran." "When is your favorite time of day?" ''Early evening.'' "Your least favorite?" "Right after I wake up in the mor­

ning." The session was at the home of William

Donn Hayes, 33, a specialist in the use of herbs and acupuncture. A military veteran, who now calls Evergreen, Colorado his home, he began his career in acupuncture after attending a series of schools including: the Vancouver North American College of Acupuncture, a series of correspondence courses; a seminar at White Bird Clinic in Eugene, Oregon; and studying with Dr. Kim, an ear specialist, in San Francisco.

The examination room he uses is located in his home. There are posters of humans covering the walls, with the poin­ts used in acupuncture displayed. The sounds af a home try to interrupt the examination he gives.

The beginning of th.e treatment in­volved checking the pulses. "The ancient Orientals discovered that all the different

·- energies are related to those pulses," Donn said, "and by being sensitive to them you can diagnose the trouble.

Everything in our lives means something," Donn continued. "Every­one has five basic elements which are fire, wood, earth, metal and•water."

• "Those elements are not completely

the same as those we in the West think of. For example, wood not only means a tree or bush but the. basic idea of growth it­self. "It relates to the life process," Donn

said. "Each element is there by itself but each one cannot survive without the other.'' ·

The Chinese believe that growth and decay are in everything, with the five elements divided between them. "Everything has a growth cycle and a decay cycle," Donn explained. • "Take summer. It grows to full · blossom and then decays to fall."

While both water and wood are synonymous with growth, metal and ear­th are associated with decay. Fire is by it­self, between the two. Fire is also the most active element. "You can see it and at the same time it will burn, but you cannot touch or hold it."

To continue the treatment he used six needles, one near the tip of each little finger, one in each forearm, and the final

Closet Poet 'comes out' ,

·-

It reminded me of how I thought I w~uld never learn to ride a bicycle, dnve a car with a clutch, or kiss a girl ·on the lips. No sweat - once it's over.

No one at THE METROPOLI­TAN suspected they were sending the world's most cowardly closet poet to cover the MSC Women's Center coffee house. This was my big chance. Usually the only people who hear my poetry are drunk, semi­passed out roommates, or my obliging dog who would do anything for a milkbone.

I wasn't sure I would have the guts to get up and recite. I couldn't pic­ture myself standing behind a big wooden podium in front of a bunch of square faced English majors. No way. They couldn't drag me up there.

But somehow I found myself Friday afternoon at the Mercantile armed with my poetry, just in case. One thing was encouraging - no podium. Everyone looked fairly normal. The room was filled with quiet anticipation. People were leafing through their piles of poetry changing expressions as the emotion of each poem slipped back into their memories. Some pages were folded

over many times or ripped in spots, but all were handled with kid gloves by the owners. A man close to me broke the silence.

''This one was written in a Laun­dromat in New Orleans."

You could tell by the condition of the paper that it was written some time ago. Applause followed his poem. One by one volunteers spoke out, some reciting from memory, others reading from neatly typed notebooks - all receiving applause.

There _ was a common bond bet­ween these people - not only a need to write, but a need to be heard. The enthusiasm was contagious.

I found my lips moving and my face blushing.

"Well I might as well get it over with."

When it was over they actually ap­plauded. Not loudly, but at Jeast nobody booed. No sweat. Just like riding a bike.

I hope the message is clear. If you have poetry that you'd like to share, play an instrument, or just enjoy listening, treat yourself to the MSC Women's Center coffee house. It meets Friday afternoon, 3:30 to 6 at the Mercantile. All are invited.

two in the shin of each leg. "By telling me at the beginning that green is not your favorite color you told me where the problem is."

Donn continued by explaining that the color green relates to wood in relation to the Chinese chart of elements. "The eyes are related to wood and since you are having trouble with your eyes I knew what to look for and where to start."

"The sour taste in your throat is also related to wood. So, after checking your pulses and finding out that there was too much energy in the wood - the gallblad­der and liver area - I put the needles in a position that would draw the energy from the wood to the fire. This is the heart and small intestine area, and did not have as much energy.'' _

"The pulses, of which there are three positions on each wl-ist, sound like an or­chestra,'' Donn said. He explained that · medical doctors, though they are now beginning to accept the fact that acupun­cture can and does work, do not believe that the human body can have six dif­ferent pulses in the same artery. "When they dismiss that idea they throw away half of what acupuncture is all about."

Along with the use of herbs, acupun­cture relates to the pulse and the Chinese thought that man is a combination of both heaven and earth.

"It's like negative and positive," Donn said. "When a negative and a positive

meet they create a spark. In this case heaven is the positive while earth is the negative and when they meet they create a spark called human." Th~ herbs he uses are a very important

part of the system. ''I use a lot of Chinese herbs because they work," he said. The herbs continue to balance the energy in the body after the needles are removed.

Acupuncture can be used for all types of pain and illness. Donn is currently treating himself for his bad vision. He says eye trouble begins when people are young, possibly because of some type of emotional upset.

"If the child could be treated im­mediately with herbs and acupuncture their vision would probably heal,'' Donn said.' 'However, the parents run right out and get them glasses."

Bet, his wife, had very bad vision (20-400) but now, after treatments and eye exercises, her vision has improved to 20-30.

"It's a long process but it seems to work," Donn continued. "Some of the herbs used sound crazy though, like crushed pearls."

Donn would be very happy to discusss the s~bject with anyone who is thinking of .bemg _treated or those who are just plam cunous. To contact him write to: William Donn Dayes, 4940 Amaro Drive Evergreen, Colo., '80439, or call 674: 4790. He will be glad to help.

Eczaturcz New BroadWave hits Walabi's

by Tace Hedrick

The thin, pale man leans casually against the bar. His spike-studded leather wrist band flashes in the dim light as he adjusts his dark glasses. He runs a hand over his shining black leather jacket, upon which rows and rows of zippers gleam like so many sets of metal teeth.

The man surveys the bar and d_;i__!_l.Ce floor. He finds skinny black ties and skinnier black pants, spiky hair and spikier heels, lipsticked lips, blonder­than-real-hair, and carefully arranged costumes.

But as he turns to the couple seated next to him at the bar, his eyes widen in astonishment. Could it be that these people have wandered in by accident, all unawares? Why - - they look normal! They're wearing blue jeans! And yes -their skin is tanned!

The black-jacketed man looks wildly around him. He can see it now. Throughout the club, even on the dance floor, are more of these ordinary people. Over there - - a man with hair down to his waist! A genuine long haired hippie, long thought to be a dying breed.

It's obvious. This club, this innocuous,

harmless, even nice looking club is - yes - a mixed-bag club.

Even though the music, by the Young Weasels, is -what the majority would call New Wave, and the blue-jeaned couple on the dance floor are doing a dance that makes the time honored Jerk look like slow motion, Walabi's is not a New Wave club.

Max Kingsley, owner of Walabi's dislikes the label New Wave and ab­solutely rejects the use of the work punk, saying that punk has bad connotations that he doesn't want associated with his place.

Max prefers to call the music in his club simply rock and roll. The bands, whom he usually books himself, are "nice kind," as are the people who come to his club. The mood, whatever the music is called, is high energy. The Wea­sel's lead singer is all over the stage, jumping and contorting. No slow dances here, no chance to clutch your partner as the lights dim and the music mellows -but who cares? It's fun energy.

Punk, out of which New Wave was born, if not formed, was a message, a rebellion against English society. New Wave (or "modern dance" music as

Charlie Brown, founder of Brown 'n Serve Music prefers to call it) is inventive, high voltage, with a raw, made-in-the­garage sound, with usually not much of a message.

One message might be gotten out of the scene at Walabi's. People who ordinarily would be thought to be at home listening to the Bee-Gees and Barbara Streisand are now flocking to this club to rub shoulders with people who wouldn't be caught dead listening to anything but the Flying Lizards and the B-52's. They all want to come, just to have a good time.

The club itself is also not what one might expect of a so-called New Wave club. The decor is nothing if not conserv­ative, the light is bright enough to see your drink by, and there's even a jukebox with everything from Blondie to Elton John on its glowing front.

When asked why he books bands that are labeled New Wave, Max Kingsley will only repeat that he thinks of it as rock

,, and roll - - and that anyway, he likes the music. One suspects that underneath that simple answer is another one, and that Max sees an up-and-coming thing that is beginning to not only appeal to a small and rather 'clique-ish' group of people, but (at least in Denver) to a larger group as well .

It's fun to dress as outrageously as you possibly can, cut off all your hair, see if you can outdo your dance partner in in­venting new jerks, convulsions, and con­tortions. But now its not just wierdos and people who like to dress up who go to . Walabi's.

Charlie Brown spoke of people who enjoy this type of music as people who "are open to new ideas." Walabi's bas been in existence for about a year, and it is a new idea on the New Wave "wave." It may not appeal to some purists who .. prefer a heavy punk scene, but it is definitely appealing to several different layers in the strata of Denver life.

BAD REPUTATION/ Joan Jett & The Blackbearts/ Boardwalk Records FW 37065 .

Visually, Joan Jett's new album Bad Reputation has a glossy, New Wave/ punk image. She looks sulky and tough, right down to her leather wristlets. Once inside the album, though, what you get is

- straight, simple rock-and-roll. The album features a selection of songs

that includes several Fifties tunes (Wooly Bully, You Don't Own Me) and some of Jett's own originals. The music is well­produced and has good, full instrumen­tals.

The strong, basic beat, however, tends to overshadow Joan in a few places. Her voice needs a few years to mature, and as a result some of the songs (especially the oldies) that should have her voice right out in front are flat-sounding, with the ear straining to hear something that isn't quite there.

A much better setting for her type of hard beat and young ·voice are the songs she's written for herself in collaboration with members of the band. Echoes of the Sixties and Seventies ·can be heard even in these new tunes, but Jett obviously identifies with them, and seems to come through more on the recordings. Bad Reputation, the title cut, is a good exam­ple. The bass line is very strong, and her shouting/singing vocals combine well with it.

Onstage, Jett radiates an energy that is sometimes lacking in her album. The band is tight, the music is dancable, and it's fun to watch her jump around. Her

'album doesn't have the visual advantages of her performance, but for a first effort, it should appeal very well to lovers of basic rock-and-roll dance tunes. '--~ .. i

Sellers, a 23-year-old Arvada native, says the 40 minute film centers around a man in Denver on the day of his marriage. "The story goes from the time he gets up," Sellers says, "up to when he gets married."

The storyline, which Sellers notes as

being "about 12 minutes long," takes place in the summer, with skiing shots in­terspersed in the film.

Filming started in January 1980, Sellers says, with scenes shot at Mary Jane, Copper Mountain, Winter Park, Steamboat, Purgatory, Arapahoe Basin, and some "hike skiing" on the Continen­tal Divide.

Can you 'Trust' Elvis Costello? continued from page 10 broke open the field in 1977 with My Aim ls True?

Trust, Elvis's newest, shows the grand old man of new wave to be a little behind the leaders - but just barely.

Although not as musically diverse as last year's Get Happy!, Trust indicates Elvis's further move toward moderation; in his case, from blind anger to a quieter cynicism. For some, this would be selling out, but for Elvis Trust signals a further maturity.

This maturity, though, has a price for old-time Elvis fans. The forceful hate of

an earlier. "You Belong To Me" is toned down to the more contemplative, moodier messages of a "You'll Never Be A Man" on Trust. This emotional cur­bing may further alienate those who originally followed Elvis for his pungent views of the world.

However, this maturity may mean a wider, more positive acceptance of Elvis. "New Lace Sleeves", for example, speaks of an empty, fllicit romance with a tenderness lacking in earlier Elvis material; this easier tone may bring Elvis a few more borderline.new wave fans into

his fold. The music on Trust, though, is still tl:fe

standard Elvis blend of pop and rock, with "Sound of the Sixties" wizard Nick Lowe bringing in his production genius. Unfortunately, the best combination 6f the Elvis and Lowe talents comes with the first track, "Clubland". From there, the album levels off, never again reaching the intense energy of this tune about sleazy nightclub life. .

With Trust, Elvis Costello finally fails to top or equal a previous effort. Some artists would rank in the awful catagory

how students could stay in college and what alternatives people have while get­ting an education.

According to Grant, the campaign costs no more than what was previously budgeted for enrollment drives.

Stanley Sunderwirth, acting vice president of MSC academic affairs, thinks the reputation of the college is a major reason students attend MSC.

''The teachers at this institution are really hard-working and are dedicated to the needs of the students," he said.

Part of the supplemental funds from the legislature will be used to hire ad­ditional faculty for the college, ·he said. Several new faculty ·have already been

for doing such, but complacency from Elvis may signal a new approach to his music. For the first time, Elvis Costello sounds comfortable; not having to prove himself may show that Elvis has _ finally arrived at superstardom, and he knows it. So should everyone else.

hired. "What it came down to was, we'd

either turn down students or hire new ... faculty, so we hired new faculty,'' Sun­derwrith said. Next year, he said, there will be more new faculty positions available.

One other reason was mentioned as a factor in the MSC enrollment increase. There are many cross-registrations bet­ween schools and many UCD students are coming to MSC. Neither Sunderwirth nor Wright would speculate as to the reason for that occurence.

In the future, Sunderwirth doesn't ex­pect a "big spurt" in enrollment, but he does expect slow continuous growth.

- ~'~~~~-b~y_T_en~o_n_H_u_tt~~~~_; Swimming is prized as being one of

America's favorite past-times for good conditioning, but the "Tough Ukkers", the MSC swim team, has made it one of Auraria's most exciting sports.

Although the season ended Saturday with MSC placing last in the champion­ships, the tough Ukkers could go on. Why? Because they're true champions, and know what true victory is.

The team this year scored more points in a conference meet than any of the six

Also the team has two women com­peting against other men's teams - Jan Waidmann (Tom's sister) and Char Longwell.

was a concern expressed by Jan. ''There is a positive aspect being on the

team," Longwell said. "You have to learn how to get along with the guys. Some girls started out but quit right away when the hard work started."

David Knoth qualified for the NAIA Nationals in the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 57. 7 Saturday.

One swimmer, Brook Turner, com-

mented on his theory, "I'm in a rebuilding process getting myself straight so next year I'll be able to go out there."

Head Coach Dave Lettin in his second year of coaching at MSC said, "We've come a long way this year. Other schools were impressed with how far we came.

"The team has worked hard as a good group, next year we'll be better,'' he said.

" In swimming you have to set individ­ual goals (times) - make it so each time you swim you're impr_oying your .time,"

' Lettin continued. "The guys find they can be competitive

in swimming That's about 80 percent of working your tail off. You spend a lot of time in yardage.

"Most schools have both men's and women's teams. We haven't the budget so we combined to compete against men," he said.
