Smoking Extinguished On Auraria Campus

Robert Davis Editor

Teacher don't ya filJ me up with your rules cause everybody knows that smoking aint't allowed in school.

Look out. Beginning next Monday signs will go up around the campus telling smokers where to put it.

Out. All offices, classrooms, and most

hallways will be off-limits to smokers, according to Warren Taylor, manager of facilities at Auraria.

The tough action comes after Gov. Richard D. Lamm signed away the smoking rights of state workers at their work stations last November.

Some hallways and lounges will be designated for smokers, Taylor said,

but only a few. Many areas, he said, have mutual ventilation ducts and smokey air would contaminate other work areas. '

And the penalty for a naughty smoker?

Nobody knows yet. "l don't see Auraria as the enforcing

agency on this," Taylor said. In fact, each institution will decide

how to enforce the policy on it's employees. A topic Metro President Paul Magelli plans to address at his president's council meeting on Thurs­day, Feb. 2.

"I think we11 put together a good­will-will you cooperate-system," Magelli said. "This is real tough to enforce. So far, though, we've had good cooperation." D

Two unidentified men tried to rob the MSC Business Office but were foiled by the quick action of some office employees and Metro students Tuesday morning.

According to Dave Rivera, director of Auraria Public Safety, the suspects entered the business office at approx­imat~ly 11:30 a.m., while a large sum of cash was being disbursed to the cashiers.

The money was sitting on a table behind the cashiers' window, separ­ated from the rest of the office by a shoulder-high partition.

One of the suspects reached over the partition and grabbed over $5,000. As the suspects tried to escape, they ran into "some kind of interference," Riv­era said.

One suspect was caught by

employees and students at the door of the office while the other suspect, who had been hit in the groin, was captured exiting a nearby men's room.

A UCD Financial Aid employee who witnessed the incident said she saw one of the suspects captured by a

Thrills, Chills and Cheap Delight Spur Writer Into Semester Cecll L. Jerome Special to- The Metropo/lten

Thrills is my middle name. I live for 'em. The quick sting of suddenly being found out by my weekend, plastic­coated skiing date. That flashing rush as she realizes that the full leg cast is fake. That painful breath-sucking pleasure as she learns that not only do I not belong to the ski Patrol, I have never been aboard a pair of those dreaded slats in my memory. And that quiet slicing stab when she fully com­l?rehends the Visa is over the limit and the jaunty four-wheeler is a rental.

Thrills, cheap and otherwise. That's the stuff of life giving zing in the fast track. Perpetrating the perfect guise and pulling off the sleaziest of decep­tions. God, I love it. Especially the cal­culated composure-busting dropping of the lower jaw as the truth is revealed on the way home.

l love t:1e delicious rush as I tell her mr rich uncle is really a plumber, not a special effects artist in Hollywood, and he time-shares the condo with 1

20 other plumbers. (Hey, she won­dered why it flushed so well.)

That's why i always look forward to the new semester after a too-long break. The old cheap thrills rise like the Mat­terhorn there in the thin, polluted, haughty atmosphere of the Auraria campus, waiting for a taker. And I love a good cheap challenge.

At the Pole you might expect to encounter a polar bear or some other docile beast trying desperately to avoid you. (I tell you wild animals can smell a thrills rush as readily as they can smell fear.) The tickets folks are a beast of a different hair. They love the excite­ment of the hunt. They stalk the male­volent and malodorous like so many black mambas. That's high adventure.

ON CAMPUS Insurance Troubles Bury the Mercantiles Cellar Bar Kim Campbell Reporter

The Cellar, the Mercantile Rest­aurant's 3.2 basement bar, is gone. When insurance for the bar expired in December, the insurance company refused to renew it, according to John Scarmella, president of Trangen Inc., which owns the Mercantile.

The Cellar operated from Aug. 1983 to Dec. 1985.

"The legal system is creating hum­ongous (sic) settlements (against bar­owners) and the insurance companies ·

feel that if they can't afford to pay out these awards, they're better off not to insure people," said Scannella.

Scarmella feels that the days of the 3.2 bar are over.

"The risk of lawsuits is higher (with 3.2 patrons). These individuals are younger, more immature, and there is more of a tendency for them to drink too much," Scarmella said. This factor makes 3.2 bars more of a risk than bars that sell 6.0 beer and liquor.

Second-party lawsuits, in which a person sues the bar-owner or bartender for the actions of its patrons, occur on a

civil level in Colorado, says Jerry Rad­cliffe, an investigator at the Liquor Enforcement Division.

Senate Bill 25, introduced Jan. 8, will limit the amount for which people can sue a bar. The bill is now in the State Affairs Committee of the Senate.

Scarmella said no one sued the Cel­lar while it was open. In 1985, the cost of insurance for the bar went from a $400 premium for a million dollars worth of coverage, to an $800 pre­mium for only $250,000 coverage. But the price wasn't the problem, said

Phone service troubles can come

in many ~hapes and sizes.

Sometimes, the culprit is your basic garden-variety squirrel, chewing through the outside lines leading to your home. At other times, the trouble could be with your inside wiring or your telephone.

Whatever the problem, here's the best way to find out what's causing it. Just turn to the Customer Guide section at the front of your White Pages Directory. Under the "Money Saving Tips" heading, easy-to-follow instructions will tell you how to test for the source of your troubles. If, however, your test doesn't locate the problem, call us and we'll test the line for you.

If the problem is in your outside line, we'll come out and fix it free of charge. If you ask for a Mountain Bell . repair person to visit your premises, and it's found that the problem is in your telephone set, there will be a charge. Defective phones and equipment must be repaired by the company or dealer that provided them to you.

We'll also repair inside wiring free of charge if you 've subscribed to our Wiring Maintenance Plan; other­wise there will be a service charge.

Scarmella. It was a matter of being unable to attain it.

"I hated to do it, but there was nothing we could do," said Scarmella. Scarmella said we are dealing with a "lawsuit-happy public and legal system."

The insurance for the Cellar was handled through a broker which· specialized in high-risk businesses. Scarmella could not recall the name of the broker.

When asked whether he would con­sider re-opening the Cellar if the bill limiting the amount of lawsuits against bars passes, Scarmella said he would seriously consider it.

Metro's Miss Colorado Entry

Coy Co-ed Prepares· for Beauty Pageant

Christine Grassmann Reporter

Lets face the facts. There are many attractive girls attending Metro.

Perhaps you've seen one with luster­ous dark brown hair and smiling Span­ish eyes. Specifically, I'm speaking of Tammy Hurtado, an 18-year-old freshman, pretty enough to be a pageant contestant.

The Miss Colorado U.S.A. Pageant, taking place this weekend at the Holi­day Inn 1-70 East, is where Tammy and 71 other Colorado beauties will compete for this year's title.

Each selected contestant posesses a rare combination of personal charm, physical beauty and outgoing person­ality. After a few minutes spent with Tammy, anyone can see she fits the bill.

When speaking of her involvement in pageants, Tammy smiles bashfully and glances away.

"I didn't plan on being in this pageant," Tammy says. "My aunt saw an ad in a local paper and got the idea· to sign me up. It's not something I had envisioned for myself."

The only previous competition Tammy participated in was last year's Chic Chicana, a combination fashion

1209 E. 13th Dsnver 830-9020

show and exhibition of charm, spon­sored by Vanoy Talent Agency and Neusteters. Again, it wasn't her idea. This time her counselor at Lincoln High School handed her an application and told her to send it in. She was one of 33 girls participating, and she won.

"My name was called and I couldn't move. I didn't actually think my name was called. I finally walked onto the stage and I simply couldn't speak. I cryed."

In preparing for the upcoming pageant, Tammy is concentrating on exercise.

"It calms my nerves and hopefully 111 lose a little weight, too." She stands a mere 5'2l'" and is a shapely 110 pounds.

"Everyone I know tells me I have nothing to worry about and to be con­fident. That's so easy for them to say. Actually I'm a bundle of nerves," Tammy said. "I pray a lot, hopefully 111 be calm when the pageant arrives."

If she wins, Tammy feels the title of Miss Colorado would be a great dis­tinction.

"Representing the state would be such an honor, and it would be fun, too," she said.

Some activities scheduled are trips

to other states and perhaps a commer­cial for Colorado businesses .

"No one should put down pageants or what comes with the title," Tammy says. "A lot of hard work and lots of time and money goes into it.''

What little free time she has, if it isn't spent with her family or her boyfriend, James, is spent studying. Her interests are in chemistry and biology and one day she hopes to attend the University of Colorado Medical School.

"I became interested in medicine

because my brother· has asthma and after seeing his doctor save his life, I knew that I wanted to help children myself."

Tammy chose Metro because she didn't want to leave home and didn't want to burden her parents with steep tuition bills.

"So far I like it here at Metro. I was overwhelmed at first, but people are real friendly and making new friends is something I'm looking forward to."

Tammy shouldn't have any problem making new friends. D

Cyndeth Trunkenbolz said she heard a commotion down the hall so she looked out.

. "The door on the right of the cashiers' windows flew open and this guy came stumbling out, with two other guys hanging on," Trunkenbolz said. "Somebody was yelling, 'Stop him,' and a bunch of people jumped to

help. They got him to the ground and held him.

"I was really proud the way people responded."

The other suspect apparently tried to hide in the men's room at the south end of the Central Classroom's first floor. Police arrested him as he was coming out the door.

All of the stolen money was reco­vered after police searched the men's room. D

Colorado's General Assembly Kicks off New Year Robert Smith Reporter

More than 200 bills have been intro­duced during the first two weeks of the 1986 session of Colorado's General Assembly. The subjects range from transporting nuclear materials to trans­porting hay, and deal with nearly every area of life in the state.

Education is one area getting a lot of attention. • Sen. Don Sandoval, D-Denver, is

sponsoring a bill that directly affects Metro. Senate "Bill 33 would change the resident enrollment cap and make a high school diploma or its equivalent the only r~quirement for admission.

There would be no admission requirement for students over 19.

It would also prohibit Metro's govern­ing board from transferring any money appropriated for Metro to any other school. The bill was assigned to the Senate Education Committee. • The state would pay $1,500 towards

the tuition of every resident attending Denver University, Regis, Loretto Heights, and Colorado colleges under a bill sponsored by Rep. Pat Grant,

R-Denver. Twenty-five other states presently provide private college students with some form of aid. House Bill 1115 was sent to the House Education Committee.

• The University of Colorado Regents and all other higher education govern­ing boards would be placed under the provisions of the state "sunshine law" by the House Education Committee.

• Military personnel and their dependents would gain resident status for tuition purposes when they are assigned to Colorado, rather than waiting a year, under S.B. 54. Military students would not be counted toward the resident enrollment cap. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Joel Hefley, R­Colorado Springs, was unanimously approved by the Senate Education Committee. • All Colorado school districts would

begin fall terms after Labor Day if S.B. 21 becomes law. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Steve Durham, R-Colorado Springs, is in the Senate Education Committee. The committee postponed a vote on the bill until it heard more information on how much tax revenue the bill would raise.

Other bills deal with the minimum drinking age, smokeless tobacco, gaso­line and property taxes, seat belts and

. helmets.for motorcyclists. • The legal drinking age would go to

21 under provisions of a bill introduced by Rep. Bill Owens, R-Aurora. H.B. 1076 was sent to the House State Affairs Committee. • Warning labels would be required

on smokeless tobacco, and the sale of any tobacco products to those under 18 would be illegal if H.B. 1078 passe~. Rep. Dick Bond, D-Greeley, introduced the bill. The House Finance Committee beard testimony on the bill but delayed a vote until it decides how to tax smokeless tobacco. • State excise taxes on gasoline would

go up 50 percent, to 18 cents per gal­lon, under a bill sponsored by Sen. Al Meiklejohn, R-Arvada. The Senate Finance Committee held hearings on S.B. 40, but no vote was taken. • .Property tax increases would be

limited to four percent in 1987 and 1988 by H.B. 1003. Englewood repub­lican Rep. Chris Paulson's bill, designed to control property tax increases due to reassessment, is in the House Finance Committee. • S.B. 20, by Sen. Ralph Cole, R­

Littleton, and S.B. 52, by Sen. Claire Traylor, R-Wheat Ridge, are old standbys. Cole's bill would make wearing seat belts mandatory for all motorists, and Traylor' s would require all motorcyclists to wear helmets. Both bills have been defeated in previous sessions, and both are assigned to the Senate Transportation Committee.

So far the "Subject Index of Bills Introduced," printed periodically by the legislative staff, covers every letter except Q, X and Z. With several hund­red more f>ills likely to be introduced even Quarries, Xylophones and Zoos may get their day in the legislature.

OPINION Basketball Off the Wall at Deadhead State Scott Moore . · The inconsistency of Metro could be a major factor in small crowds. The Sports Editor average crowd at a men's game ranges from 400-500 people. And although the

team had its moments, it went through stages of ice cold shooting from the field. It's hard to tell when the men might catch fire because it happens at such odd times.

Bob be nimble, William be quick, Paul jumped over the candlestick. Confused? Here's another clue. · Bob the great one sat on a wall, Bob the great one had a big fall, all of Paul's

horses and all William's men couldn't put Bob together again. Fitting words for Metro's basketball situation. Bob (Hull), the head basketball coach at MSC with a lot of resilliance, took his

big fall when he left the University of Illinios. Next is William (Helman), the athletic director who must be pulling his hair out at the thought of another basketball season such as this one. Then there's Paul (Magelli), the president at MSC who most of the campus has never heard of. He is The Man responsible for luring Hull away from Champaign with the crazy idea that Metro could have a big basketball program. ·

So what went wrong? The deadhead fans at Mental State have spoiled the party.

After witnessing the horror of so-called school support in the first year of the Hull reign, I've become convinced that Metro State does need a name change, something that will give them some recognition. How bout Deadhead State? Or we could go with Ununified University.

But it's not because the administration hasn't done their job. They've just overestimated the people of Deadhead State.

I've graciously witnessed the presence of Helman, Magelli and Hull at the home games. Charles Branch, the dean of the school of education, even makes cameo appearances. But where's the fans? .

Indeed, with a mere 30,000 bodies on campus you'd think a lot of them would have something better to do than sit at home watching Dynasty. I could be wrong, though.

Try an MSC basketball game. Granted, the team is standing at 7 -7, but for the price (free) you \YOn't see a funner, more exciting action packed game.

Metro has toppled teams like Eastern Montana, who was ranked third in the nation in Division II; Puget Sound, who was unbeaten and ranked; and Athletes Fighting Substance Abuse, a team made up of some pretty respectable former college players.

Phil Milstein

Living Landmark Knows Everything Pam Price Special to the Metropolitan

While researching Auraria's begin­nings last semester, several people told me to speak to Phil Milstein. "He's been around here forever," I was told, "he can tell you anything about Auraria and downtown Denver you want to know." - When asking for Mr. Milstein's clip­ping file at Denver Public Library's. Western History department, the folder was in my hands before I finished pro­nouncing his name.

Why was I the only one who'd never heard of Phil Milstein?

After all, the man is a living land­mark. And that's not a mere figure of speech. In 1984, the Denver City Council decreed Milstein ari honorary Denver lankmark in recognition of the native' s contributions to his hometown.

"They gave me a pin that looks like the plaque they put on landmarks. I never wear it because I don't like pins, but I'm very proud of my pin.'.' Mil­stein smiled, patting the spot on his lapel where the pin would have been.

How does an individual become a living monument?

Milstein has been involved with so many COiru1littees and boards, a com­plete listing would be difficult, if not impossible. He was a Denver city councilman in 1958-59, he's a former director of Downtown Denver Inc. and the Denver Chamber of Com­merce, and Milstein was one of the original members of the AHEC Board of Directors.

"It [Auraria] started back in the late '60s wheD" there was thought of build­ing a separate campus for Metro State College alone," begins Milstein. "There was a committee that asked the Plan­ning Board to review sites. We checked sites wi~ certain criteria-availability of utilities, central location, transporta­tion, etc. We recommended this site." Milstein is a long-time member of the Denver Planning Board.

"At that time, Auraria was every-

appointed a board made up of repre­sentatives from the CU Regents, Met­ro's trustees, and people from CCD." Mi4tein was also appointed to the Auraria Board, and though the legisla­ture did not officially legalize the board until 197 4, Milstein said, "We weren't a board, but we acted as a board."

And act they did. "The state paid for one-fourth of the

land to be cleared, so we got small pieces of land here and there-nothing

ul don't deserve all the credit. Too many people were forgotten."

thing you didn't want," recalled Mil­stein, referring to the "mess of zoning laws" that allowed the Auraria neigh­borhood to deteriorate from a middle­class residential area to a hodge-podge of low-income housing, assorted busi­nesses, and light manufacturing.

'1t was Frank Abbott who suggested combining UCD, Metro, and the Com­munity College," said Milstein. Abbott was head of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education at the time. "It's one of the most unusual and finest con­cepts in education. Frank should be very proud."

The 1972 bond issue crucial to the campus' funding was passed by a nar­row margin, and Denver was eligible to receive federal funds under urban renewal.

"At the same time, Governor [Love]

-Phil Milstein

to where we could start building," remembered Milstein. "The leases on the buildings that Metro was using expired when classes closed in Denver of 1976. The legislature did not want to renew the leases, so Auraria had to move by then.

"In order to do so, we had to hire a separate architect for each building. But we did it, and the campus opened in January, 1977."

What does Milstein think of the campus today?

'Tm prejudiced, but I think this is the greatest educational experiment in the country."

"Of course, there were many people responsible for the building of this campus. Some of us have gotten a great deal of credit for building this campus, but if a list were made of all

the people who contributed, it would be a long one."

"I don't deserve all the credit," admon­ishes Milstein. "Too many people were forgotten."

By my calculations, Milstein is near­ing eighty. But he hasn't slowed down much. He's a consultant to Auraria's Executive Director, and is busy plan­ning the Auraria Parkway which should be completed in two years if every­thing goes smoothly. Milstein also teaches a night class in Design and Planning at UCD. And, Milstein plays tennis regularly, stemming from the twenties when he was captain of CU's tennis team.

"Yes, I still play tennis ... not very well, but I used to . . . "

Milstein was reluctant to tell me what he felt his greatest contributions have been, saying," Anything I've done, a lot of other people were involved."

But after some thought, Milstein replied: "I think working on the bond issues, especially in 1972 when $88 mil­lion was passed for Denver. Also, help­ing to build the Temple Emanuel at 51 Grape Str~t . . . and being involved here at Auraria ... oh yes, and being on the original committee of the Platte Valley Greenway and taking an ugly river and turning it into something beautiful. I'm very proud of these things."

So as we daily pass our familiar campus landmarks-St. Elizabeth's, the Tivoli Brewery, St. Cajetan's­there is another landmark nestled in.a second story office on Ninth Street Park, busily planning Auraria's future.

MetroStyle White Man's Y ello'1V Pap~:\:

Navajo/Hopi Indians participate in demonstration at the Federal Building.

John Fortin Reporter

Beneath the enormous, beautifully carved ceiling of St. Cajetans Cathe­dral, there is a strange mixture of hope, sorrow, and frustration right now. A red banner hangs on a white wall behind a lecturn where the altar usu­ally stands. The banner asks for help in the resistance against the white man's plan to destroy an Indian reservation. A tall, stem-looking young Indian man in faded Levis and a dark green cordu­roy shirt dutifully stands guard in front of the ban~er, guiding people to seats and politely answering questions for an inquisitive crowd.

I look down at the newspaper clip­pings and letters in front of me con­cerning the issue which the man next to me is so bent on recording. They don't feel like clippings and letters as I unfold them. They feel like ancient scrolls.

The scrolls tell the story of how the U.S. government, under the 1974 P.L. 93-531 act, is trying to forcibly evict over 10,000 Navajo and Hopi residents out of their land-guaranteed to them for life by the same government some 100 years ago.

Their land-situated in northeastern Arizona, spilling into small parts of Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico­consists of over 640,000 acres for the Hopi (prounced Hope-ee) reservation, some 800,000 acres for the Navajo, and thousands of acres in between the two tribes, known as the Joint Use Area (JUA). If the act, already being exe­cuted, is fully carried out, it is esti­mated by residents and tribal councils alike that most of those 10,000 people will die-either by their inability to function in the modem world, or by an immense emotional strain of being removed from the land that they have inhabited for over 400 years.

I'm digging frantically through my

clippings. There can't possibly be justifiable reason for the govemmei t to commit genocide. Did these peop commit a violent act against the, government some time ago? Is ther;, communist insurgency there in tl plain, unbroken land of Arizona? Wbe the deadline comes for these people t relocate on July 7, 1986, and they d not find a place to go, is the Army Cl the most powerful nation on eartl going to move on this sacred land an unlease its firepower onto these litei ally helpless people?

Well, wait a minute. I've found somt1 thing. According to one letter, there i a violent dispute between the Navaj and Hopi people, and they are a destroying the land because the cattl l herd is far too large and must b reduced by OOi. I'm walking up t• Larry Anderson, chairperson o tonight's speech and co-organizer o the American Indian Resistance Movc1

ment. Are either of these things true?· "No, it isn't," Anderson says, looking

at me as if I were a member of the government. "We live peacefully together. We have always lived together peacefully. This fantasy that the two tribes have a dispute is just a lie made by the government in an effort to jus· tify their selfish wants." He walks to the stage. The program is about to begin.

Wants? Let me check my notes again. Oh. Of course. How could I have been so blind? In 1950, Peabody Coal Com:. pany discovered that the extensive Black Mesa field in the Joint Use Area contains over 21 billion tons of high quality coal easily accessible by strip mining. The land cannot be mined without the total relocation of the peo­ple in both tribes.

But apparently, the 400,000 acres offered to the tribes will not provide even half the land needed to house the 10,000 people. According to a Navajo tribal commission, the proposed land will support only ~ of the popUt_ lation. ·

Anderson introduces Joe Lucas, one of the elders of the Navajo tribe. Lucas is the Pipe Man for the elders, and he leads a group of young musicians on the stage in an ancient song. They sit and sing, slowly at first, then with more passion. They beat an enormous drum and begin to chant. A powerful, deafening roar permeates from the stage. The crowd is still, but they smile. The words, unfamiliar to most, are generating a universal message to the crowd-consisting of every race imaginable-that there is pain and frus­tration even in the joyous act of pro­.ducing music. A frustration that pleads for the coming together of people to put a stop to an injustice.

The music is fading. Lucas tells the tale of the s·ong's origin. It was written by some of his elders in 1972 after the shooting and killing of one of his brothers by white policeman.

"This song is the beginning of the coming together of the colors," Lucas says. He is now pointing down to the base of the stage, where several multi­colored blankets lie in a straight, unbroken line. He is pointing out the

January 29, 1986

~Corners Red Man, Again need for humanity, especially those of the younger generation, to live as one and respect land that is not only sacred, but fruitful.

-,,. Anderson is returning to the stage now. He· stares, unblinking yet not uncaring at the crowd.

"We come to Denver tonight to address our Chicano brothers," he is saying, "the Indian community, and the non-Indian community. We are lacing a situation that has crept up on us again. The American syst~m talks about civil rights and opposition to injustices such as apartheid, but once again, in our own back yard, there is forced relocation." , His voice is strong, slow, and unbro­ken. His long hair, tied in a pony-tail and darker than night, sways grace­fully across his back as his head moves back and forth-panning the crowd. His hair and deep brown skin ·do not look at all out of place with his rather ~asual American dress. His jean-jacket, orange tee-shirt and faded blue jeans look on him as if he had known no other style. He looks comfortable, ·at peace, and relaxed. .

But there is no doubting that he is an Indian. ' "We will always uphold our beliefs," Anderson says. '1f they [the govern­ment] ever come to deny us our rights as human beings, we will stand up."

I sense a tone of anger, and a feeling that the future may not hold a peaceful

,~lution for the Navajo and Hopi peo­ple. But once again, Anderson's voice reassures me that they simply want to make all people everywhere aware of their plight, and that together they can peacefully walk toward a solution.

"We must come together as a peo­ple," he says, "to oppose the people who deny us the right to live peace­fully-as we have for so many gen­erations."

Peaceful co-existence between the· tribes again. The government said that they are fighting. I'm digging through my scrolls again, which feel heavier with each passing moment.

"There's a fight between the Tribal Councils, not between the people," Louise Benally said last year in a letter written to the Big. Mountain (JUA) eegal Defense Committee. She is one of the elders of a Navajo tribe. "They're the ones selling both tribes out. We, the traditional Navajo and Hopi tribes, are

friends and communicate very well. It's the businessmen who are hungry for the money. We traditional people don't recognize the Tribal Councils at all."

The tribal councils. They are elected by the people of each tribe. Yet they are not helping their own people?

"Many of our elected officials are afraid to speak up," Anderson says, "because they are afraid of losing their positions."

A willingness to fight for land. The peaceful Navajo and Hopi resi~ents are fighting. But not just because 1t has been their land-legally since 1882-­but because their physical removal will cause them to literally die from despair.

For the Navajps, culture is passed on by the women to the children through the ties to the land. The women are severely stressed by relocation because they will have no land to pass on to their children and grandchildren. The women are afraid that the children and grandchildren will lose their Indian identity. A<)cording to a report from the Indian Health Service last year, Navajos facing relocation are using mental health facilities at a rate eight times that of other Navajos.

We are all standing now. A Hopi elder, Thomas Banayaca, has approached the microphone and asked us to bow our heads as he says a prayer. His lips move, but no sound is heard as he waves his arms in a graceful arc over the people before him. We sit. He speaks again.

"We don't want to formally protest," Banayaca says. "It always leads to vio­lence. Always there are incidents where peaceful protesters are hurt and beaten. I don't want that."

But Banayaca pleads with us to help them to ~top their relocation because if Big Mountain is raped and eventually destroyed, there will be no place left for man to go if doomsday comes.

"Our reservation is last refuge," he is saying. "A place where everyone can go if the bombs fall. When everyplace else is gone, you can come here."

He leaves the lectern. The audience gives its first standing ovation.

I take one last, very long look at my clippings. I notice that aside from their mandatory order to relocate, the Hopi and Navajos must red\lce their live-

MetroStyle DCPA, drama dances

"The Emperor Jones" Seduces Audience Bob Haas MetroStyle Co-Editor

Sometimes live theater sparks reflec­tion on plot and story; it makes unavoidable certain speculations con­cerning the nature of man. It makes us think about ourselves.

Sometimes live theater is predomi­nately a sensual experience of visual art. It provides an avenue to create and share in the experience of being man. It makes us feel ourselves.

The former is an element of script; it reflects the talent of the playwright, a talent which is augmented by the director, actors, and set people. The production company works to polish and paint the lines of a great play; they hone the play's edges to bring out the finest dramatic luster possible.

In the latter case, the play belongs to the director. He uses the script to aug­ment his manipulation of actor and set. He uses the script to flesh out his con­ception of the human condition, a con­ceit he explores using live, visual stim­uli. He paints a moving picture with words, communicates to us on a direct, sensory level.

Eugene O'Neill' s most intriguing plays, most curious. The 1921 script pushes the everyman symbol to fantastic, nearly metaphysical levels.

Brutus Jones is a black American, an escaped convict who has made himself pompous emperor of a tribe in Haiti. The play begins when Jones discovers that the natives have fled to the hills, are there plotting his overthrow. The play concerns itself with Jones' attempted escape through the jungle surrounding the village and through the jungle enveloping his mind. He is pursued by the drum pounding natives, pursued by his own memories of kill­ing a chain gang leader, memories of slave sales, and pursued by the meta­physics of voodoo. The play is a har­rowing journey through everyman's struggle with who he is and what he has made of himself.

The production of "The Emperor Jones" at the DCTC is a living, writh­ing sparkle. It stars Antonio Fargas, and features the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble. The musical score is composed by Coleridge-Taylor Perk­inson. Molding this extraordinary group of talent is director Donald McKay le.

The play is.fantastic.

lectual intricasies and a flamboyant explosion of sensuality.

It is visual. It is captivating. It is theater.

The acting is first rate, though Far­gas' screen and television presence never overpowers the production.

The play is tightly directed and imaginatively choreographed.

And the dancing is delicious. It empowers your limbs and heart, it gives you life.

The script is by Eugene O'Neill, which says enough.

All of this is placed in wonderful costume and on thoughtful set.

The opening night audience was robust in appreciation and applause. The play was introduced to them by DCTC artistic director Donovan Mar­ley, who also introduced a lovely and glowing Cleo Parker Robinson, a plas­tic appearing Donald Seawell, McKayle, Perkinson and Mayor Fed, who made a nice speech and pro­claimed January 24-February 22 as "Black Artist's Month in Denver." He urged "all citizens to enjoy 'The Emperor Jones' and to participate in all the activities planned for Black His­tory Month." He seemed also to like the play.

SPORTS New Murphy's Law Takes Effect for Roadrunners Scott Moore Sports Editor

Since the second game of the season, Murphy's Law has been in effect for the MSC men's basketball team. But this law is different from the usual one-whatever can go wrong will.

This is Thomas Murphy's law and it says when Murphy goes, so go the Roadrunners.

Coming off a 67 -58 victory over Marymount College, (Kan.), Metro is gearing itself for a grueling roadtrip that starts this weekend in New Mex­ico against Santa Fe College. And according to Bob Hull, the Roadrunners are going to need a spark to survive the next seven games.

That spark could come from Murphy, the junior guard who has led the team in scoring in every win trus season with the exception of two games.

Last Friday Murphy did it again, pouring in a team high 18 points as Metro clipped SFC, 67-64. He scored three straight buckets during a 43 second span that put MSC up by 12 "ith 2:48 to play.

"He's been up and down lately," Hull said of his guard. "He played one of his worst games against Regis, but he bounced back last game and played excellent." Regis

ln the Regis game-a last second 50-49 overtime loss-Murphy shot an uncharacteristic 4-16 from the field en route to just 10 points. His 10 points tied him for team rugh in the low scor­ing affair.

"We weren't ready for a real tough ball game," Hull said. "We talked about it (a letdown after upsetting third ranked Eastern Montana the previous weekend) and fought it, but you have to give Regis credit. Overall, we weren't as sharp as we usually are. We played outstanding defense in the first half; we didn't sustain it in the second half."

Metro led 21-20 at halftime but was outscored 25-24 in the closing half to bring on the extra period. As time ran out Steve Nash missed two open jump shots and Regis escaped with the victory.

Rich Grosz was the only other player in double figures for Metro, rutting IO. He also snagged a team high 13 rebounds. Two nights later the Road­runners came back with a vengeance, wrupping SFC.

M,SC led from the opening bucket. Santa Fe College

"We played some r~al good team

defense. Grosz, (Ambrose) Slaughter and (Craig) Hyman took away their inside game," Hull said of his teams outstanding defensive effort.

A big contribution was made by reserve forward Freddie Burgess. He hammered out 12 points and garnered seven rebounds in one of his finest games. Midway through the first half, Burgess sank 11 straight points for the winners. He fouled out late in the game, but not before the damage was done.

Others who shone in the victory were Kevin Trujillo-IO points, four rebounds and seven assists-and Grosz, who again had a game high 12 rebounds to go along with 12 points. Marymount

Against Marymount, Metro had four players in double figures , while keep­ing the opponents high scorers in check.

Grosz totaled 12 points, Hyman 11 and Slaughter and Burgess finished right behind with IO each. Metro also dominated the boards, collecting 53 to just 37 for Marymount.

The game was kept slow by the offi­cials, who whistled 50 total fouls-25 for each team-as two players fouled out for Marymount.

But the real test for MSC will be on the road, where the team is a miserable 1-5.,

"It's a very tough schedule. It's going to be real difficult," Hull said. "It's tough academically. U we could get four of these seven (games), I would be very pleased."

The road hasn't been good to Metro, which doesn't return home until Feb. 25, but with a little of the new Mur­phy's law at work things could change.

Metro State College senior hoopsters Kevin Trujillo and Craig Hyman have been awarded scholarsrups from the Adolf Coors Co.

Trujillo won the award for the second consecutive year. The 6-1 playmaking gaurd is currently shooting 60 percent (39-65) from the field and 79 percent (15-19) from the charity line.

"This is a great honor and I,m very thankful to the people of Coors," said Trujillo, who is averaging 6.9 points a

. game for the 7-7 Roadrunners. Hyman, a 6-6 center/ forward, is

scoring at a 7.8 clip. He's also ave­raging 4.9 boards a game for Metro.

Women Shift Into High Gear, Vpset National

Brad Dunevltz Assist' Sports Editor

Once the MSC women's basketball team srufted into high gear Saturday night, there was no slowing it down.

Metro sputtered early, falling behind by 12 points to National College (Rapid City, S.D.). Then the offense revved­up and the defense shut down the Lady Mav's late rally, upsetting National, 75-71.

Historically, National has a good reputation: small college national champion '82, runners-up in '84, fifth place finishers last year and, now, 11-3 this year.

"The key was we finally started playing a little bit more controlled at the end," coach Cindy Guthals said. "Tonight's (Saturday's) factor was that we were down by quite a margin and we came back from that and then played a controlled second half."

Rebounding played a major role as Metro dominated the boards, 54-34. The Roadrunners also tied or set four individual or team records in the upset.

lntrarnurals, Super Hoops to Start

Cathy Klazura had 20 points and 12 rebounds-both personal bests. Sharon Coleman scored a season rugb 10 points to go along with her six steals. Heidi Keyes led Metro with 14 rebounds and 14 points complimented by her six

· blocked shots-also a team high. Lisa Rains contributed 19 points, IO rebounds and seven assists in a strong effort and Tami Davis scored eight points and dished out six assists.

A mandatory meeting for all intra­mural basketball team managers and captains will be held Wednesday, Jan­uary 29, at 5 p.m. in PER 209.

Interested players and teams should sign up in the campus recreation office, PER 108, prior to the meeting. Play will begin Tuesday, Feb. 4, and con­tinue on Tuesdays and Thursdays through March 20.

Registration dates for the Schick

Super Hoops competition will be Feb. 10 and 11 in PER I08. This three on three competition is open to men and women with a $IO re_gistration fee for each team. Partjcipants will receive a complimentarv duffel bag.

The competition will be Feb. 12, 13 and 14 in center court. The winners will go to regionals at the University of Colorado at Boulder on Feb. 22. The

top teams from regionals will play at McNichols Arena on March 7.

. Sunday, Feb. 2 A combination of factors-including

a lack of interest by students and poor game promotion-have caused low attendance at Metro State Basketball games, coach Bob Hull said Friday.

"There were lots of games during the break that students didn't hear about," Hull said.

He said attending campus events is not a tradition for many Metro students.

"Metro students tend to create their own social activities outside of the

campus," Hull said. It will .take at least another year to build a truly strong student support for intercollegiate athletics at Metro, according to Hull.

"The attitudes about Metro State are changing. People are now proud of going to Metro. I think that pride will carry over to athletics," he said. "Next year we'll have more time to carefully plan promotions: In the meantime, the surest way of attracting people to the games is by putting on a good team."

As for going on to Division I in the NCAA, Hull said that it would be at least three to four years before Metro athletics can reach that status.

"An important component to becoming a Division I team is student support. In the future, I would like to see at least 2,000 Metro students each home game. There's about 20,000 stu­dents here, we need only a small per­centage of that."
