Late-grades _cause MSC hassles by Richard Bellizzi

Hundreds of MSC students opened their grades this month and, rather than A's, B's, C's, D's or Fs, found X's for some classes.

1' The X grades were entered into students' transcripts because 76 class grade sheets totalling 1,222 students were not turned in to ad­missions and records by the 10

r a.m., Dec. 20, deadline. Since MSC shares some com­

puting equipment with the University of Colorado, grade sheets had to be brought to Boulder that day to be processed.

Now, until admissions and records personnel can manually enter the late grades into students' transcripts--which will not be un­til some time after the current

•spring semester registration--the X's will remain a part of their academic record.

For many of those students, those X grades represent the beginning of a period of · uncer-

• tainty during which their academic and financial futures are put in jeopardy.

For example, graduating and transferring students who receiv­ed X's must wait until their grades can be posted, which costs them valuable time, whether they are seeking a job or trying to matriculate at another college.

Since students receiving veteran's benefits cannot receive money unless they complete 12 hours, X grades could be a factor to some veterans.

Financial aid recipients will also be affected. Some students with X grades will have checks withheld.

"They (X grades) are causing us tremendous problems," said Tony Ledesma, associate director of MSC financial aid. "As a result, we have designed a form to be filled out by instructors to change a grade from an X to a letter grade. We will then accept that as a document to show actual academic progress."

Other ways X grades affect students include the possibility of being placed on academic proba­tion or suspension; X grades for prerequisite courses may affect

subsequent registration; students expecting to be reimbursed by their companies for courses com­pleted cannot be paid; and of­ficial transcripts sent from MSC are incomplete and must be resubmitted (admissions and records personnel estimate the cost of resending transcripts to students for the 1,222 grades to be over $1,000.)

The 76 late grade sheets repre­sent nearly a 300 percent increase over the 27 turned in late for the fall, '81 semester. After the spr­ing, '82 semester, 42 grade sheets. were submitted late.

While he is very concerned about the increase in late grades, Associate Vice President and Dean of Admissions and Records Ken Curtis believes most 'of the delinquent faculty members made an honest :i;nistake.

"The typical MSC faculty member cares and gets grades in on time," Curtis said. "But, if you're a student and this happens to you, it hurts. The frequency of X grades is growing, and there's no excuse for it."

Al Rodriquez, assistant dean of admissions and records, drew an analogy between his mission and running a business.

"In a sense, we've got a pro­duct, and the student is the con­sumer," Rodriquez said. "I believe when you pay for a ser­vice, you should expect the most for your money."

Rodriquez said, to their credit, the Schools of Professional Studies and Engineering Technology were the only ones which did not turn in late grades.

"However," Rodriquez said, ''I'm still concerned about the overall increase in late grades."

Curtis, who is familiar with operations at other area colleges, including DU, where he once worked, feels the increasing in­stances of late grades may give students the impression that MSC shares the attitude of large col­leges, that being they exist only for the faculty.

"That may be the approach at CU or DU," Curtis said, "but here, that's unacceptable. MSC's approach is for the students." O

~News Auraria offers, transportation options

Do you care about saving money and time, avoiding parking hassles and help­ing reduce Denver's air pollution? If

)'OU do, you should consider transporta­tion alternatives to and from Auraria. The Auraria Higher Education Center is working to better serve your transporta­tion needs through encouraging the use of such alternatives.

One alternative to the personal vehi­~.cle includes catching "The Ride".

Perhaps you've been thinking about riding the bus, but you don't know when, where or which route(s) would be best to take to get to Auraria. In order to address these concerns, 'RTD representatives will be available at the Student Center on January 25, 26, and 27, in the main corridor of the Student Center, next to the cafeteria, from 9 a.m .. until 4:30 p.m. to answer your questions.

Another alternative to consider is Van Pooling. This is a system whereby peo­ple living in close proximity to one another commute together in one vehi­cle to a common destination. It is a very cost effective means of transporation if there are nine or more people com­muting a minimum distance of 30 to 40 miles round trip. For more information on van pooling, representatives from Van Pool Services, Inc., will also be in the main corridor of the Student Center on January 26 and 27, from 10 a.m. un­til 2 p.m.

Carpooling can be an excellent mode of transportation to Auraria. With the help and support of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Auraria has instituted a Rideshare Program. This program requires no obligation on your part and you don't need a car to be in­volved in ridesharing. All you need to do is complete the application form on this page.

DRCOG will match you with other Aurarians who have completed the ap­plication. You will receive a matchlist in the mail by February 12 which will have the names, addresses, and phone numbers of people with whom you can possibly carpool. It is up to you tc;> con-

tact these people and set up your own carpool(s).

This system affords many possibilities, as you can set up full-time or part-time carpools, depending upon your schedule. It also enables you to have a list of people that live close to you and go to Auraria whom you can contact in case of an emergency~-such as unfore­seen car trouble.

Auraria has also developed a Ride Share Board, located in the Student Center on the first floor across from the Convenience Center, to encourage car­pooling. Once again, you don't need a car to be involved with this ridesharing system. It allows you to arrange for transporation to and from Auraria on a no-charge, cash or barter basis which can be negotiated between parties.

The Ride Share Board enables you to communicate your transportation needs as a driver and/or rider through a system of color coded cards which you fill out and place on either Rider or Driver Board according to your home location.

For more information concerning these or other transporation alter­natives, contact the Aurarla Higher Education Center's Vanpool/Carpool Coordinator, Paul Lippin Sakofs, at 629-8493. 0

New cartoon strip begins this week Editor's note: The Metropolitan is

pleased to welcome to its pages a new cartoon strip, "The Pioneer," by P.I. Lazar. Here, the cartoonist introduces his strip, which appears on page 10.

"A lot of artists put part of themselves into their art, cartoonists included. "The Pioneer" is based on my dream to move up into the mountains and become totally self-sufficient.

Of course, there are a few obstacles: I'm broke, I'm scared of wild animals (except Sheila, but that's another story), my Chevette won't get up an incline steeper than 3 degrees, etc.

So. I am living out my fantasy through "The Pioneer." , He tries to make it in the city first, then the suburbs, then the country, and I hate to think what he might try once they start

taking commercial passengers on the Space Shuttle.

Anyway, I dedicate "The Pioneer" to all those who would like to get away from it all, and especially to those who have made it.

Enjoy!"

News MSC clinic loses tight for · space ~

by Richard Bellizzi

The Auraria Board of Directors voted at its Dec. 13 meeting to re-affirm the decision of the Student Facilities Policy Council to re-allocate MSC Student Health Clinic space to the Auraria Book Center, thus clearing the way for the in­stallation of a computer.

The vote was in response to an appeal by MSC President Richard Fontera that the Board rule on the legitimacy of the SFPC's decision, and after the clinic's earlier appeal to the SFPC was denied.

Fontera contended that while the SFPC acted in good faith, it did not have enough information to make a responsible decision. Fontera indicated the original plans for the Student Center allocated some 3,900-plus square feet, and any decision to take space away would be contrary to what was original­ly designated.

"The question here," Fontera said, "is 'Have we carried out the original plan?'"

Fontera, in reminding the Board of two alternative sites within the bookstore, questioned why there were anyalyses made of the Health Clinic's use of its space, but none of the bookstore.

AHEC Executive Director Jerry War­tgow spoke in favor of the SFPC's deci­sion, and urged the Board to support it.

"It's my opinion the SFPC did a responsible job," Wartgow said, "and that the student health clinic can pro­vide quality service in the remaining 3,500 square feet.

I think the students deserve a pat on ,the back for their decision to re-allocate space," W artgow added.

Earlier in the meeting, Nancy Con­nick, assistant attorney general, address­ed the Board in an attempt to clarify the dispute, based on her study of documents and minutes of early and pre-Auraria meetings. Connick was unable, however, to present a firm opi­nion in favor of either AHEC or MSC.

"There are always two sides to a coin," Connick said, "and it's very dif­ficult to say what the nature of (the original designation of clinic space) was."

Betty Jo Collard, clinic director, ex­pressed her disbelief to the Board that she was not consulted in the matter.

"The only research was a walk­through," Collard told the Board. "I'd hardly consider that a study.''

Collard said the loss of space would set the clinic back "about five years.'' She said several of the clinic's programs would have to be discontinued, in­cluding CPR and holistic health, and that CCD-A and UCD students, faculty and staff would no longer be able to be seen at the clinic.

Board member Ross Forney, before voting to uphold the SFPC's decision, inquired whether the Board routinely heard appeals such as the health clinic's. W artgow informed him that, no, such was not ordinarily the case, but the clinic's case was being heard "out of deference to the new MSC president."

"Well," Forney remarked, "if students want less health care, that's their business, not ours.''

In other Auraria Board business: • CCD-A Vice President Meyer Titus

announced the new name of CCD-A, as a result of a move to give CCD campuses their own name and, hence, own identi­ty, would be Denver Auraria Communi­ty College.

• Auraria liaisons to the state Legislature Jerry Johnson and Bonnie Geiger reported AHEC "is in a better position with the Legislature and Joint Budget Committee that (it) has ever been, and we look forward to their sup­port."

• The search for an AHEC "Director of Special Projects" ended with the an­nouncement that Joann Soker would fill that position.

• Nancy Crogan was named AHEC Assistant Director for Personnel.

• RTD Executive Director Kim Kim­ball presented RTD's plans for a light rail system in Denver in general, as well as the specifics for the proposed Auraria station. The underground terminal would be 60-80 feet below the Colfax and 10th Street intersection, and would handle 8,500 boardings per day. D

Colorado Scholars Awards will be available for the Spring Semester through many academic departments. Check with your major department for eligibility and requirements.

To be eligible for an award you must:

1. Be a Colorado Resident 2. Be a Declared Major 3. Be Degree-Seeking 4". Have a minimum GPA of 3.0 5. Attend MSC either half-time or full time.

Computer technology brings new-age security problems

(CPS)--As colleges rush into the com­puter age, they're meeting some perplex­

-ing new-age problems of student securi­ty and crime.

Huge electronic erasures of student and faculty records have plagued some campuses, while others struggle with ways of keeping teacher-student rela­tionships confidential.

At UCLA, for instance, two 17-year­olds broke into the university's files and erased thousands of student transcripts and instructors' files stored there.

Similarly, Lehigh University students were "cheated and robbed" of coursework stored in the Pennsylvania campus's main computer when someone tampered with the machine last year. Students and instructors subsequently wasted "hundreds of hours putting the files back," recalled computing center Director Bob Wechsler.

"Right now, we still depend mainly on words printed on paper to store and transmit information," observes Doug Van Howeling, vice president for com­puting and planning at Carnegie-Mellon University. "But the computer is pro­viding us with a totally new way of handling this information, and natural­ly with totally new problems in doing so. "

One new problem is keeping publically-available files private.

Last term, for example, Harvard students tried to convince ad-• ministrators to regulate access to their electronically-stored study materials. The university allows student tutors to see academic files of their changes.

While the tutors may have legitimr.te reasons for looking at certain files, the students argue their privacy rights . become precarious if the tutors misuse them.

Such information is never totally safe, observers warn.

Guarding the information "is a human problem, not something caused by the computer itself," notes Apple

"\.., .

Computers spokesman Stan DeVaughn. "For every security system, there's go­

ing to be someone working on a way to' get around it. All students can do is save everything they do on their own discs, and be very careful who they give their passwords to."

But privacy "cannot be taken lightly," adds IBM spokesman Bruce Schimming . ... "Universities are particularly sensitive to privacy and the concept of being passively observed and watched by some Big Brother-type system.

"But," he continues, "it's the students who have the ability to control the system, and I don't think many of them• will be overcome by it.''

Despite the real concerns over security and the dramatic cases of large-scale electronic erasures, most student pro­blems so far seem to concern getting either too much or too little of the new,. technology.

The editor of Toronto's Erindale Col­lege student paper got too much, almost losing his job for refusing to produce the paper on the school's new computer system.

After arguing the system wasn't good or reliable enough to do the job, the editor finally got to keep his job, though not before being docked $60 to make up the cost of producing the paper the old way.

More typically, students are most upset about getting too little of the" technology. Lines at campus computers are often long. At Idaho State, "it's not unusual to have kids lined up three-deep to use a computer," says Computer Director Robert Watts.

At the State University of New York­Albany, 1,500 students petitionet against administrators' spring, 1982 decision to cut back student hours at the computer center. Administrators ex­plained they had to ban students during certain hours so administrators themselves would have time to use the_ machines. 0

'Tis a privilege ••. cough, cough ... Another year, another semester. I'm sure you all, like us here at the newspaper, are

all excited about the next few months. Because of the nature of the Auraria Higher

Education Center as a commuter campus, we must learn to deal with various problems and situations that are unique to us. In fact, Auraria is the only campus of its kind in this country.

Among the other challenges we face is being able to co-exist with members of two other schools on campus. Equally challenging is trying to relate to the governing body of the campus, AHEC.

We've observed the Auraria student, for the most part, to be dedicated to his pursuit of education. A great many of you are parents, and work full or part time in addition to your studies.

Similarly to its neighbor, the downtown area, Auraria is characterized by a large number of in­dividuals, each primarily concerned with his im­mediate and future plans for himself and his family.

From the days when this area was pioneered, and even before then, people, quite rightly, have had those concerns. But they also have tried to maintain an ovenµ! perspective on their region, hoping to be aware

of any subtle or obvious changes in the quality of their lives.

Well, one of the least subtle changes in the quality of our Denver metropolitan area lives has become known, almost resignedly, as "The Brown Cloud."

The major source of public transportation here, RTD, insists the only way we'll be able to diminish the pollution is to adopt a light rail system. Taxpayers will be asked to accept the financial burden for that vast undertaking.

Countless individuals have taken it upon themselves to make sacrifices in a personal effort to improve the air quality. These people leave their automobiles home more often and take the bus or walk, many others become avid bicycle commuters, and still others have banded together into various social phenomena called carpools.

Which brings us to the point of this discourse. AHEC has instituted a van pool/ carpool program,

and is making an effort to provide a system through which Auraria commuters can both save money and help alleviate the pollution problem we have.

Patila Lippin Sakofs, AHEC's carpool coordinator has made a concerted effort to entice Aurarians to

sacrifice some of their treasured independence and form carpools. AHEC's efforts in this matter are to be applauded. .

While many commuters to Auraria don't hesitate to bemoan the parking situation and rate increases and permit systems, they know deep down there's not much they, as individuals, can do about it. The car­pool program offers a great opportunity for people to do something that can improve matters.

A common criticism of carpools is they go downtown early and leave around 5 p.m. "I have a varied schedule," critics say, "I can't be in a carpool."

That does not have to be the case. In all likelihood, most Aurarians, despite their "varied schedules," have schedules similar to others who happen to be their neighbors.

As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way.''

-The Metropolitan encourages all Aurarians to

seriously consider becoming involved in a carpool, whether it be just one day or every day. Submit the form on page three by Jan. 26. D

Rider suggests incentives Editor,

Everything was as usual during my carpool's 45-60 minute drive from Boulder, except for one thing - it took us two hours to get from the Broomfield exit to downtown that crisp, clear dayl

Aside from one other carpool and two RTD buses during the two-hour delay (there were no accidents or bad road conditions), we could not count even 10 cars with passengers.

I have zero sympathy for those who complain of parking rates, parking spaces and traffic, and who mention independence and inconvenience as ra­tionales for non-productive change. It doesn't take a $20,000 feasibility study to recognize the need for a light rail commuter system, which would also create many jobs.

\ OOJiHT EUAO AN EOOCATlONAL

TOY-··

I would also offer the following proposal as incen­tives for carpools: tax rebates, lower insurance rates, reduced parking fees, priority parking spaces, and car­pool lanes on highways during commuter time.

There is also a wonderful, free carpool service of­fered by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (458-POOL). · I discovered many others who live within 4-8 blocks of me, and commute to Denver at generally the same time.

Mountain living: the reality lingert by Kathleen L. Humphreys

Editors note: This is the first in a two­part series examining the lives of Sum­mit County residents.

Many people dream of living in a mountain town - unpolluted air, stark peaks, mountain quiet, storybook streets. But few stop to consider the financial risk, the reality behind the romance.

Summit County, high in the Rocky Mountains 75 miles west of Denver, boasts a permanent local population of 9,570 and a peak tourist population of 56,000. Summit County inhabitants are quick to point out the tradeoffs that are part of living in a mountain resort town.

John Lannan, the former owner of the Summit County Journal, now owns "The Paper Place" in Breckenridge. A nine-year local, Lannan fixes his pierc­ing gaze and identifies the major drawback of doing business in a resort town.

"The obvious disadvantage of doing business here is scasonability, and until this year we only had one season as op­posed to two," Lannan commented. "And the work force turns over 30 to 60 percent per annum. Everyone has to be retrained, recycled.

"Cash flow (actual available cash) is also a disadvantage because of seasonali­ty, and you run into enormous cash flow crunches, much more so than any nor­mal business."

According to Lannan, the credit stan­ding of the entire community is destroyed. Denver banks don't want to lend to mountain communities and mountain banks don't have the money. There is no cash base or reservoir of capital.

Lannan explained that people see Summit County as a growth area, an ap­parent investment opportunity to buy and sell, but the current economic stagnation is crippling.

He stressed there is no money to ex­pand upon or exploit, and large-scale selling opportunity is zilch. Sharks are floating through and trying to take ad­vantage of bailouts.

"This is a great time to be alive if

you've got lots of money," summarized Lannan. Summit ,County's locals know w

Kent Newkirk, former editor of the Summit County Journal, has enjoyed the mountain recreation for six years. He views the economic drawbacks from the worker's standpoint, but echoes the economic aspects Lannan expressed.

"The disadvantage of working in Breckenridge," Newkirk said, "is the relatively low pay scale for anyone who isn't in a position of management or responsibility of some kind. The wage scale just doesn't stay consistent with the rent scale.

According to Newkirk, people who first came here reaped the benefits, but initially took it on the chin. The median age of Breckenridge is 26.9 and the average household income is $!7,900.

"There is not a lot of opportunity for young people who are aggressively or upwardly mobile," Newkirk added. "It's hard to work your way up because it's a closed community. The power brokers are situated and it's hard to work up; one has to buy into this town." "There are extraordinarily high paying jobs - bartending or waiting tables, but you have to be in the right place at the right time," Newkirk cautioned. "If you' re a self-motivator, it's not a bad "' place to be. I feel like there's not a lot of ~ commitment to quality, but it's not a g. high-pressure area." :f

her, the main disadvantage of living in Breckenridge is the business instability.

"There's no guarantee if people don't come or if it doesn't snow. I'm in the tourist business," McClelland said, as she smiled pixie-like at passersby.

Sam Williams, a retired military man; moved to the town with his family in 1977. Williams' original·plan to teach was circumvented by his successful in­volvement in real estate and rental management.

'1at they have to do to survive The bonuses of living up here are the

«nall-town life and being able to iden­tify with your neighbors more closely," McMenamy said. "There's a great varie­ty of people here who are continually changing."

Newkirk has enjoyed the mountain

recreation for six years. He originally came west to be a ski bum.

"I got bit by the Colorado bug, which .happens to a lot of people on the east coast," Newkirk explaineq. "I fell in love with Main Street in Breckenridge

the minute I hit town." Recreational activities cover a spec­

trum including crosscountry and downhill skiing, skating, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. There are more than 60 miles of runs and 1, 150 acres of skiable area in Breckenridge. Golf, ten­nis, river rafting, sailing and jeeping are options for summer fun.

Kit Doser still has the Colorado bug. She was involved in theatre back East and did not resist the western magnet. She now works at a tubular oil field. "The advantage of living here is when you walk outside your door, it's like walking into a vacation," she said.

" It's a little more relaxed, there isn't that putting on a front," she added. "It's like carrying what you are into the of­fice, there's no need to escape. In the ci­ty you leave on weekends, up here it's like you're living with your escape."

She also values the small town aspect, the extended-family feeling. The local attitude that mountain visitors are "company come to visit" is one of the selling points.

Williams came to live in the moun­tains because the old timers who have lived there for years intrigued him, and the young people who come and go

every year or two bring new ideas and energy.

Unlike Newkirk, Williams thinks the quality of living permeates the moun­tain lifestyle.

"I like the community involvement, the social aspect and the total quality which involves everything one does," Williams asserted.

Joan Hollerbach lives east of Breckenridge in Silverthorne. She originally came from Detroit and when she first came out West, she lived in a cabin two miles into the Ten Mile Range and had to collect water and split wood. She now works at a tubular oil field

company and teaches sailing. Walking out and seeing the mountains is still a thrill for her.

" It gives me an exhilerating and clear feeling; aesthetically it's all an advan­tage,'' Hollerback said. ''I'm from Detroit, and I feel like there's more of an acceptance here. Whatever way you want to live, it's accepted and respected.

"Where I come from everyone was so into what they were doing they didn't stop and look at each other," Hollerbach recalled.

Newkirk sums capsulized local feeling when he said: "It's a privilege to live here." D

Sound Judgment

Latest work pays off for Petty byL.N. ~r

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Long After Dark. Backstreet BSR-5360.

"I'm just a working man," sings Tom Petty on his latest album. And you have to believe him. On their fifth LP, Petty and the Heartbreakers have obviously worked hard to please their fans and live up to their own standards. Hard work pays off; Long After Dark builds upon, and goes beyond, Petty's solid string of musical achievements.

Petty is a masterful songwriter. He rivals Bruce Springsteen and clearly sur­p~ Bob Seger in his ability to evo.ke the joys and agonies of two universal modern American extr~mes: romance, and roe.le and roll.

'Tve had enough of all this hard-core lonelin~I don't think pain is so roman­tic," he sin~ on "Finding Out", which is the LP's thematic showpiece. But the flip-side of this emotion is registered in "Between Two WorldS" - "A woman's body is only flesh and bone/How come I can't let go?"

The melodies an<Larrangments on Long After Dark are nothing you haven't heard before. But that's all right. These tunes carry the un-

mistakable sound of the Heartbreakers, and although this record may be a bit self-derivative, I still prefer it to any LP which emphasizes innovation above sincerity, guts, and sheer talent.

The only song on the album which is a musical departure from Petty's tradi­tions is the current hit single, "You Got Lucky." This song is without a doubt the most avant-garde, punk-influenced composition this band has ever released. The Human League it ain't, but it features synthesiz.ers as the dominant in-strument instead of an overdubbed guitar army, and this indicates that Pet­ty hasn't been ignoring current musical trends.

"You Got Lucky" is followed on the album by another obvious choice for a single, "Deliver Me."

Where "You Got Lucky'' merits ac­claim because of its innovative ap­proach, "Deliver Me" finds its appeal in its reliance on the trademarked Petty sound - a melody defined by the thic.k tones of Mike Campbell's lead guitar, accented by a prominently mixed organ. (Keyboardist Benmont Trench, a col­league of Petty's since long before the Heartbreakers, is the musician in the spotlight throughout this record.)

There is crabgrass in every garden, and Long After Dark is not without its weeds. Although none of these songs are completely worthless filler like you can find on so many albums, you can find a couple of songs that could have benefited from additional refinement.

"Change of Heart" is musically similar to some of the greatest Joe Walsh songs, but Joe has a freewheeling sense of humor, and Tom Petty isn't very fun­ny at all. That fact is painfully clear when you listen to this grim song. Although Petty seems like a fairly well­adjusted guy in the interviews I've read, I wish he'd lighten up a little on this one.

"Straight Into Darkness'' is like a freight train with its brakes on. It starts as a mild ballad, picks up a lot of steam and goes nowhere. And the albums opening song, "A One Story Town," is bland enough that it does not betray any off the energy or diehard resolution con­tained deeper in the album.

My favorite song on Long After Dark is "The Same Old You," a straight 4/4 raveup which would ma.Ice the Rolling Stones proud. It's in this song where Petty unveils his past as a backdrop for the future of rock and roll.

"We could buy a '62 Cadillac/Put a Fender amplifier in the bade/Drive straight to heart of America/Turn it up to ten, let that sucker blast."

Take his advice. Take Long After Dark out on the road, at night, loud and fast. Afterwards, you'~ be convinced you can live forever.

Auraria art students sponsor multi-media show

Members of student art clubs at CCD­A, MSC and the UCO, in a cooperative effort, are holding an exciting and unusual art show in the Emmanuel Gallery through January 22.

Art works to be exhibited will include painting, print making, photography, video sculpture, and crafts. The T.A.G. Action Group, which incorporates music, dance, art and video, will per­form on Friday, the 21st, and Saturday, the 22nd, at 8 p.m.

The Gallery will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Satur­day, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednes­day and Thursday. For more informa­tion, contact the Emmanual Gallery at 629-8337.

with its debut. Listening to the Beat's first album, I Just Can't Stop It, is till a.. religious experience for me. But this is the band's third LP, and rock and roll is a business where you can't rest on your laurels.

No, this is not a poor record. The lilting salsa of "I Confess," the dance­crazed ska of "Jeanette," and the Squeezish "Save It For Later" are all songs worthy of praise. ·

But the Beat are an unfulfilled pro­mise, and the only fair thing for this band to do is to admit a noble defeat and exit laughing. Hell, even the Beatles broke up eventually. A hallmark of great talent is to know when enough is · enough.

IN SEARcll of TllE GOldEN REECE by Michael Ocrant

" Last year our Chief Executive inform-ed us the nation's newspapers were filled with ads by "employers looking for employees." "All we need to do," he said, "is give potential employees the necessary training to get those jobs."

It was then that I discovered why I was having so much difficulty obtaining those lucrative jobs which I'd applied and reapplied for: delivering pizzas, cashier at an adult book store, telephone rep for Time-Life Libraries - I didn't have any trainin~ for those jobs. I was way beyond my scope.

I'd almost given up hope, and was ready to ask my wife to get a second job when my faith in the American dream was restored.

It was during the aftermath of the big snow you've probably heard about,

i when I began taking frequent trips to - my local supermarket in order to stock­

up for the next disaster and to supply my newly found appetite for munchies, that I discovered, stuffed inside my grocery bag between the T-bones and the Pep­peridge Farm cookies - ya gotta eat -a rectangular card imprinted with four groups of various numbers. Looking further I found another smaller card that contained four circles with other numbers imprinted on the face of each one.

It didn't take long to read the direc--:--~ tions and learn that I could make as

much as $1,000 by simply inserting the circular numbers into a matching number on the card and making something that resembled a line. If I could fill just four corners in any group of numbers, I could win double - up to $2,0001 You can imagine the excitement I felt when on my first try all four numbers matched a number on the card! Bingo! Well, not quite.

At first I was cautious, investing in only a quart of milk or an avocado. But the little numbers continued to match ·a corresponding number on the card, and I felt that I would soon join the ranks of those on whom the American dream is built. I was beginning to get feverish as I needed only two, and finally, just one more number to receive the $2,000 and

television at night, eating munchies and not yet daring to set foot outside, I would find an excuse to take a walk before the start of Hill Street Blues, or one of those other programs I'd discovered along with my taste for junk foods.

Returning home, I could hardly con­tain my excitement. Depositing the bread or the eggnog on the sofa I would hurriedly remove the magic numbers from my wallet where I had wisely safeguarded them, not daring to trust the store clerk for having put them into

my sack. Numerous nights paSsed in this way, but my luck was running out - I was beginning to get duplicate numbers!

"What do-you mean?" I inquired of her, stroking her head and placing her cheek upon my chest.

"You're a gambler," she cried. "A compulsive gambler!"

I assured her I was no gambler, and told her I knew what I was doing. She then took me by the hand to the refrigerator, and opened the door to reveal to meet what was inside: the four­to-five dO"'zen eggs, six jars of jelly, several gallons of milk, 21 Yoplait's , a turkey and ten pounds of potatoes filled every shelf.

"Look!" she yelled, wheeling me around and throwing open the door to the pantry. There stood 50-100 canned goods, assorted kinds of pasta, six boxes of instant oatmeal, several bags of sugar and four cans of coffee.

"Yes," I said, agreeing with her. "I'll get some help," I said, hanging my head in submission.

I was going to hit every store in town that was giving away those little numbers, and get more numbers for my dollar. I had my Groucho disguise with me in case some clerk was to catch on to my plan and tried informing other loc.a~ tions of my intentions. As my creativity was indeed at its peak, I'd also decided that I would choose the numbers myself at the checkstand, for I was beginning to think the game was fixed.

I thought I was in for trouble when, at the first stop, after ordering half a deli sandwich with mayonnaise, the counterman claimed he was out of mayonnaise. However, I wasn't to be fooled. I took the mustard instead and obtained the numbers at the checkout stand, where I unsuccessfully offered a bite of sandwich to the clerk for an extra set of numbers. One needed to be ruthless - and take what one could get!

At 3 p.m. I headed home with eight sets of numbers. After opening the circles and matching the numbers I had five more possible chances of winning. I realized I was on to the right strategy, but my car was out of gas and I was broke.

My next move was to play a cassette of Lightnin' Sam Hopkins singing "Once Was A Gambler" and eat a Yoplait. As I sat there contemplating my misfortunes and staring fixedly at those missing numbers, I could think of only one thing - the state lottery. Soon I would have another chance. l wasn't about to give up hope and look for employment; I would, I will, stay the course, because I am now aware of my patriotic duty.
