Students Told to Prepare for Campus Changes Robert Smith Reporter

Fratematies, sororities and residence halls at MSC? Masters classes taught by nationally known artists, part of a greatly expanded activities program at MSC?

Does that sound far-fetched? How about MSC having a national reputa­tion for qwilitv or R fieven-days·'a­week medical facility on campus? How about MSC and UCD meeting in a basketball game?

None of it sounds farfetched to Paul

Magelli, MSC president. Last Wed­nesday he told the Student Affairs Board that they should be considering it too.

The SAB is the-group responsible for deciding how student fee revenues will be spent. It doled out more than $600,000 this year.

Magelli said MSC is changing, and the SAB needs to plan for those changes.

"~·f etro has bt>en redefined by the Legislature in recent years. \\ IlU admission standards and the cap, we must appeal to far greater number of traditional students," he said.

The Metro State Roadrunners bas­ketball team has flown the Auditorium Arena in search of a new home, and it looks like it will permanently roost in an improved gym on campus.

Last week, the president's office created a cost estimate board to study

the expense of expanding the gym for Metro State basketball and other athletic programs on campus.

Richard Feuerborn, director of cam­pus recreation, put the time frame of the possible renovation in perspective.

"Everything is very much in the yel­low pad stage at this point," he said. "A lot of people will have to be consulted: planners, architects, other departments

The debaters will visit Colorado after competing at Harvard Univer­sity, Cambridge, Mass., on March 14.

John Kenneth Galbraith, noted economist, will chair the Harvard debate. Gary Holbrook, professor of speech communication at MSC and originator of the Irish Debate Series, will attend this competition as a guest of the Irish Times Newspaper.

This debate will be broadcast in Ireland.

The Irish debaters were chosen from 180 students competing in the Irish Times National Debate Competition. The first member of the team from the Philosophical Society, Trinity College Dublin, is David Keane, 21, from Cahir, County Tipperary. He is a fourth-year law student.

dents vote to support athletics, we'll have it. Otherwise, we'll end the pro­gram immediately and use the money in other programs."

MSC may or may not have basket­ball, but Magelli said he expects UCD to have a team. He said a consultant has been at UCD for a week, and is expected to recommend that the school start a basketball program, as well as six other sports.

The MSC - UCD basketball game may depend on student decisions, but the residence halls won't. Magelli said he has already been approached by "several private developers" who see a market for student housing when the Platte Valley is developed.

Magelli, who said he sees a real possibility of privately-financed resi­dence halls within five years, told the SAB those halls will hC1Use students who wi1l place much greater demands on student services and programs then the current population does.

The student health center was one of the services he mentioned.

"You need to ask - can we continue to provide a student health service with the same length, breadth and scope we now have?" he told the board. "AHEC would love to take over the student health center. It would cut them into another student-fee funded area."

When the discussion turned to MSC' s image, Magelli heard little support for his view. He told the SAB that the"best students go somewhere else and that affects MSC graduates' job opportuni­ties.

"This institution is thought of as acceptable, economical and conven­ient," he said. "The bigger the corpora­tion, the less respect they have for us."

But Gaylene Greenberg, an SAB member, told Magelli he had a mis­perception of MSC's image. She said companies eagerly seek MSC gradu­ates in health care management, nur­sing and accounting.

"There are peaks of excellence," Magelli replied. He held up his hand, and began folding down fingers as he named them.

"Teacher educatibn, accounting, health care, the flight team," he paused and stared at his hand. "We have 86 programs here. I wish I could get to the second hand." D

Apathy/from page 1

doing library and not much else except work. Which is a pain in the old Katoozie.

Well, that struck a note with me because I did remember seeing some I people on the campus stumbling around just like that, and looking at the ground and all. I wasn't certain because I don't look up a lot myself, I mean when I'm ambling around and like that.

The bio guys had given me a clue so I went out to look at some of the locals going from class to class and I decided I couldn't look at them too much because I think I had a tendency to lose interest faster than they could walk.

Maybe I did have some apathy myself. Maybe the bug had got me. I tried to remember when I last had some meaningful contact with some­one else, because that was probably the way it spread. I mean from person to person by touch, or spit, or maybe dead cells floating off like they do when you don't use Irish Spring.

They told me once that the skin was the largest organ in (on?) the body and all that we could see of it was actually dead and flaking off all the time. I don't remember who told me that. But, it doesn't matter.

I know I I had a date once last month with this girl in Econ 222 who thought guys with suspenders and a minimum of zits were great neckers. But we never got to that. The necking, I meai;i. We bowled a lot I remember and once I used her ball and probably put my fingers in the little holes in the ball that she had used and that's probably when I got the apathy bug. Right there, at the Ace Bowl. Right in front of God, my date, and Monday Night League. How embarrassing.

On secona thought, though, I don't know that I have the bug . .. if it is a bug. I talked to another girl who was in aerospace and she thought that it was some fungus. Only she thought maybe it came in on one of those clandestine planes sticking to some illegal stuff. But I never used any stuff. So how would I get it?

So there, I don't have it. I did notice when I talked to the aerospace girl she stood some distance from me like I had the dreaded mange or something worse ... like apathy.

An English major at the rec room in the student center said it was all just poetic justice. Then he quoted some­thing from Ferlinghetti, I think. Any­way, he couldn't remember the rest of it or if it were Ferlinghetti or even if it meant anything about apathy for that matter. But I didn't want to bother him too much because he was shooting the eight ball, which he missed ... and didn't care much.

One of the guys from ROTC said he had heard about apathy in one of his classes on pornography. (Or was it propaganda?) ~o matter. He said the army thought it was some commie pinko germs that some agents had put in the water way up in the mountains. Then it came down to us in our drink­ing water and we got it. And then, maybe it came through the donut girls at the summer camps where the ROTC guys did fake war with the guards. He said he knew the guards had it. They didn't even want to be there in the plastic war and all.

But the donut girls were something else. This ROTC guy tells me when they took the donuts from the girls the guys all used their propaganda (or something like that) which they put on

their fingers. I think I got this all straight. See, I wasn't using my note pad because I didn't want to drag it around with me.

Anyway, my last try was with the people in the gym building. They were all sweating over there and I started getting an idea. Maybe apathy was something that was passed by sweat glands, or hair follicles or air ducts. Maybe it was the showers. Maybe it was the way they were patting one another on the Katoozie. When I asked one of the big guys about apathy he explained to me how two hundred pounds of dumbells can be injected into the human body with a minimum

of effort . No help there.

Well, that's the most of it. I only asked one other guy about apathy and he was a history major who said, "If you don't know you will be condemned to repeat it." I didn't want to chance it again so I left.

My pencil's down to the stubby part and I would have to walk all the way over to the sharpener to do much more here, so this is it. I mean I've already spent twenty minutes or so on this thing. I'm not going to burn up my whole lunch hour on a report on apathy. Besides, I've got other things to do .. . if I decide to. Maybe I won't. O

Civic Cu r.e for Apathetic Students Metropolitan Staff Reporter

Civic responsiblilty and involvement should be required for a student to graduate MSC President Paul Magelli said Thursday.

In a telephone interview Magelli said he doubts whether this will happen, but thinks Metro will replace student aid programs with community service work.

"Students will rebel in the begin­ning, but after they've gotten into a program I feel they will adapt," he said.

Unlike students in the 1960s, who got involved in intense protests, stu-

dents today are more self-centered. "The general trend created by most

college students is to keep themselves in a cocoon away from volunteering in their communities," Magelli said.

"I think it developed at the primary and seconday levels, when students were forced into intergrated schools. Now they don't have to do what they don't want to. It's a kind of rebellion."

Most students contacted don't want to get involved in community matters.

"I work and go to school," said Cindy Jackson, a sophomore at Metro. "I feel a student should choose whether he works in the community. However, I think those getting grants should con­sider community service."

Sigmund Clements agreed. "I pay for my education," Clements,

a junior at MSC said. "I don't want community service forced upon me."

Yolanda Ortega, director of Student Activities at Metro, said only 20 per­cent of the student body is involved in' on-campus activities because there are so many night students and they are older and have family obligations.

"If we off er a variety of programs and put some out in the community, this will encourage more communica­tion between students and their com­munities," Ortega said.

But the future doesn't look optimis­tic to Magelli.

'Tm concerned for my children," Magelli said. "On a segment of the 60 Minutes television program, someone said tlie 21st century is going to deal America a terrible blow. I agree." O

ON CAMPUS Metro's Good But Not Great, Say Studies

Nancy Jarrel Reporter

Denver residents and employers think Metropolitan State College is a good, but not an outstanding, college according to two studies presented March 5 at the MSC faculty/staff meeting.

A study of Denver residents' aware­ness of MSC and their attitudes about it was presented by Harvey Sunde], research analyst for Sundel Research, Inc.

And a second study, which concen­trated on the attitudes of Denver area employers, was presented by Edward M. Cooper, associate professor of marketing at MSC. This study was conducted as a class project.

Both surveys indicate that the public regards MSC as a good, rather than outstanding, school. Although, the rat­ing was higher among residents. Ten

and one-half percent of the residents thought MSC is an excellent college, while only 6 percent of employers agreed.

No definitions were given for the terms outstanding, good, fair and poor.

On the other hand, it seems that to know an MSC graduate is to like an MSC graduate.

Among potential employers overall, 28 percent thought MSC was only a fair school, and 2 percent thought it was poor. But, among those who had actually employed MSC students, they all thought the school was either good or outstanding.

Few residents or employers thought a degree from MSC is prestigious.

Only 38 percent of the residents rated a degree from MSC as prestigious, and 89 percent of the employers rated it as average or below.

The study of employers showed MSC rated in the middle range among Colorado's college/ univesities. The University of Colorado at Denver, Colorado State University, University of Denver and University of Colora<lo were rated above MSC. While degrees from the University of Northern Colo­rado, Arapahoe Community College and Community College of Denver were rated lower. o

Clinic Immune to Rising Insurance Fever Pam Rivers Reporter

Despite higher liability insurance rates for college clinics nationwide, health care fees charged by the Stu­dent Health Clinic at Metropolitan State College won't increase.

Steven Blom, of the American Col­lege Health Association, said campus health clinics are having trouble find­ing affordable insurance after liability rates increased an average of 100-400 percent last year.

Some college clinics, Blom said, are raising the fees they charge students and, in some cases, considering elimi­nating many health care services in order to offset rate increases.

Chuck Norick, treasurer of MSC, said it is unlikely the Student Health Clinic at Metro will increase its health care fees.

"The increase in liability insurance rates are minimal for Metro," he said, "and no increase in health care fees is expected."

The clinic is covered under the col-

Qia111J1or proposals

lege's general insurance policy, Norick said. The premium Metro pays is only $3,000, wh,ich covers the entire campus, he said.

The cost of running the clinic is covered by student fees allocated by the Student Affairs Board.

Norick said the clinic receives the largest allocation from the board, about $197,00 a year. Total income gener­ated from student fees is about $660,000, he said.

Billi Mauromatis, co-director of tht clinic and head of the Allied Health

department, said the purpose of the Student Health Clinic is to provide an alternative to the high cost of medical care outside the campus.

Mauromatis said health problems such as stomachaches are treated at no charge to the student. Other services - alergy injections, physical exams and pregnancy tests - are provided at minimal cost.

Co-director Marilyn Helburg, who runs the clinic's Medical Health depart­ment, said the four nurse practitioners

Is Student Health Care Vanishing?

.i nsu ranee Increase Traumatizes Student Wal lets Jessica Snyder

(CPS) - A University of Georgia stu­dent twists her ankle on her morning jog, and limps in to the Gilbert Health Clinic to see a staff physician. .

A flu-striken student at the Univer­sity of Denver gropes his way to the nurses station at the student clinic.

A coed at Texas A & M schedules her annual gynecological exam, uncon­cerned that she just spent her last dollar on books.

But the cheap, sometimes free, health care these and other students take for granted may be vanishing.

The reason is that college clinics' lia­bility insurance rates increased an average of 100-400 percent during the last year.

To cope, clinics are raising fees they charge students, trying to insure them­selves and, in some cases, considering eliminating some services or even closing.

Though college health clinics don't make as many insurance claims as other medical facilities, a single claim can be $10,000 to a million dollars, says Steven Blom of the American College Health Association.

As a consequence, insurance com­panies have cut back the number of medical practices they will insure and the amount they will cover. ·

"In the past, student health clinics' insurance had been low. We have a young, healthy clientele," Blom says. "Our incidence of (insurance) claims

· has been almost nil." But that doesn't matter anymore.

Even doctors with 11erfect records and clinics that never faced malpractice suits are having trouble finding af for-dable insurance. ·

"Insurers seem to be transferring

expenses (from higher-risk clients) to us," says Blom.

As student health centers struggle to survive, students may lose a lot of ser­vices they now depend on, says Dr. Thomas Saine, health services director at the University of Denver.

"First to go will probably be mental health care," he says. "Then may come the elimination of health education and preventative care programs."

Credit Life Insurance, for example, recently refused to renew Wisconsin's

insurance because students were using their coverage to see psychiatrists.

DU's clinic, already a bare-bones operation staffed by three physicians and six nurses, has no "optional" ser­vices to cut.

"We shop around every year, trying to find more affordable insurance," Saine says. This year the clinic saved some money by reclassifying its physi­cians into a lower-risk category, earning a temporary reprieve from a premium increase.

Other universities are trying to insure themselves.

"We've created a mini insurance company," says John ·walker, risk management and insurance director at the University of Alabama, which recently took a riskier dive into the self-insurance program it began in 1978.

Despite the risk, Walker likes the control that self-insurance brings.

"It put us in the driver's seat," he says. "We can use more creative tech­niques to keep costs down.

and one doctor at the clinic carry their own professional liability insurance. But, the college also insures the medi­cal staff against the liability while they work in the clinic, Norick said.

The co-directors said perhaps the

reason some college clinics are subject to frequent lawsuits and therefore higher liability insurance rates is because these clinics function like reg~ ular hospitals, while the clinic at Metro deals mostly with first-aid treatm~nt.

The University of Florida's clinic also insures itself, passing on some costs to doctors at its teaching hospital and relying on its law school to keep it abreast of current legalities.

Smaller schools, without medical centers to share costs or law schools to monitor risk, remain more vulnerable.

"We just survive the crisis in nurse­practitioner insurance," says Dan Cofey, clinic director at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash.

While many nurse practitioners in Washington lost their insurance last year, PLU's nurses' premiums simply doubled.

"But now we're holding our breath to see what happens when my insur­ance comes up for renewal," says Cofey, who's licensed as a physician's assistant.

Still other schools, trying to mini­mize insurance costs, have dropped their own clinics from their coverage.

"Ifs just one more coal on the fire," says Blom. "Colleges have to cope with less students at the same time as higher insurance costs. We may see all health care centers on their own, having separate budgets, separate

insurance." The University of Massachusetts,

for instance, recently excluded all its health care workers from its insurance policy, leaving 2.50 doctors, nurses, social workers, physical therapists and clinic staff "uncovered."

"Needless to say, we're not comfor­table with this," says Dr. David Kraft, , health clinic director. "We've yet to find an insurer."

Kraft remains optimistic the clinic will find an insurer, vowing to avoid cuts in services if possible.

"We're a semi-rural college. Our services are very important to students," he says.

Fees, he says, will increase. In the long run, self-insurance and

service cuts won't be enough, says Blom, "unless somebody starts legisla­tion that limits malpractice claims."

Dr. L.Z. Furman, health care direc­. tor at Iowa State, is lobbying for such legislation in Iowa.

She proposes creating a state board to review malpractice cases and limit­ing the amount a victim can receive in such suits.

"It's the only way," she says. "We'd like to off er more services, but only if we can get legislation passed to limit possible claims." D

ON CAMPUS DA is Frank About What System Does to People

Robert Mook Reporter

After someone conducted a success­ful sound-check, Denver District Attorney Norm Early stood away from

. the podium Wednesday in St. Francis Interfaith Center and told about 60 members of MSC's American Crimi­nal Justice Association, 'Tm glad the microphone works, because I don't use microphones."

Early discussed why he believes people are disenchanted with the jus-

tice system, but he declined to criticize or defend the system.

"I try to be frank about what the system does to people," he said.

Early shared some anecdotes and insights with the group of potential law-enforcers .

"Even when a policeman does -a good job arresting someone, even if they follow the arresting procedures to the letter, there's no guarantee that jus­tice will be done."

Early cited a case in which a man confessed to murdering a 14-year-old

girl. .An arrest was made, and later, a judge threw out the case because the suspect claimed that "God made him confess:· Thus, the confession was no longer voluntary.

"Now I've heard God blamed for a lot of things, but . .. "

Early also discussed the advantages of plea-bargaining.

"The media could have people lik­ing plea-bargaining instead of despis­ing it," he said.

Early said with more than 3,000 fel-

"The system simply can't accom-

modate a-large number of cases with­out plea-bargaining."

Early said some cases must be tried regardless of any pre-trial negotiations.

Before working as a prosecutor, Early worked for the Legal Aid Society for two years.

"I wanted to make an impact on social injustice," he said.

"If someone would have told me 18 years ago, when I was in college, that I'd be a district attorney, I'd ask him if he was crazy. When Dale Tooley asked me to become a prosecutor, I asked him if he was crazy."

"I accepted Tooley's offer because, as a defense attorney, I was tired of being in a position of weakness."

"As a prosecutor, I found that I could do the greatest amount of good in the least amount of time."

Early said his role as a district attor­ney was to do justice, not to put people behind bars.

When asked about the type of per­son he looks for when selecting a jury, he replied, "I look for 12 'Norm Earlys.'" o

gym: a new floor for basketball, increas­ing the seating to around 1,100 and fix­ing up the storage room adjacent to the court," Branch said. "The only thing we have an idea of concerning cost is the bleachers, and they would be around $75,000,"

Since the addition is in the planning stage, Branch said a decision hasn't been made on who gets to pay for the improved facility.

"When the study is finalized and presented to the president's office in April, money for the addition may come from capital expenditures. H a new floor is installed, AHEC may ~ay for the floor only," he said.

H the addition to the gym is approved, construction would begin this summer with completion due the beginning of the 1987 basketball season.

In November, the management of the Denver Coliseum made an offer for Metro State to play in the home of the stock show; but with the planned addition to the gym, Branch and Feuer­born don't see the Roadrunners run­ning down the Valley Highway to a new home.

"It costs $3,000 a game to rent the arena, and it's too far away for most Metro students. An improved gym/ events center on campus is what Metro State needs," Branch said.

"If we can't get stUdents to walk across Speer to see a game, how cw we get them to drive to the Coliseum?" Feuerborn said. o

Fearless Baseball Team Splits with AFA Rob Ritter Reporter

The Metro State baseball team over the weekend showed it is not intimidated when it comes to playing Division I teams.

Metro, a member of the NAIA Dis­trict 7, split four games with the Air Force Academy, an NCAA Division I school, losing two on Saturday then coming back to sweep a doubleheader on Sunday.

According to Coach Bill Helman, the Roadrunners "gave away" both games on Saturday at the Academy.

"We gave away the first game on errors," Helman said of the 6-4 loss. "Five of their six runs were unearned."

In the second game, Metro led the Falcons 11-10 going into the last inning, but a double, a bunt, and a home run sealed the win for the Falcons, 13-11.

"In the second game we led at the end but we couldn't stop them," Hel­man said. "It was just a matter of not being able to get them out.''

On Sunday, the teams played a doubleheader at Auraria, where the Roadrunners fared much better.

In the first game, starting pitcher Dave Snow held an 11-10 lead when Helman replaced him with reliever Rick Gomez.

Gomez shut out the Falcons for three and one-third innings while his teammates produced six more runs to win 17-10.

Helman said the way the Falcons were getting to Snow prompted his decision to bring in Gomez. He struck out three and was credited with the

SILVERCREEK'S YOUR BEST DEAL ltt COLORADO!

win in his first appearance of the season.

The second game of the double­header was the first time this season an MSC pitcher had gone the distance.

John Wilkinson ran his record to 2-0 with the complete game victory. In two games this year Wilkinson has struck out nine and allowed only nine hits.

Helman, whose team is now 6-3 after the weekend series, said the Roadrunners' hitting is the biggest reason for the team's success.

"We killed the ball over the week­end. We had 17 hits in the second game on Saturday," Helman said. "These guys are a better hitting team than the Metro team that led the nation in hitting in 1981."

One player broke out of a slump and another continued some hot hitting during the weekend games.

Third baseman Doug Montgomery hit three home runs, his first of the season, in the four games. The Road­runners have hit 16 home runs, on track to break last year's team record of 34.

And second baseman Shawn Hoben has hit safely in all nine games. Hoben leads the team with a .543 batting average. .

Helman also pointed out his team's improvement in playing Division I teams.

"Last year we didn't beat a Division I school. This year we've won three of six games played against these schools," he said.

The men will face Western State College in a doubleheader Saturday at Auraria at noon. D

SPORTS Roadrunners Stalk District Title

Joe Ross Reporter

The MSC baseball team will feature seniors at five of ei~ht fieldin~ posi­tions this year, while stalking the N AIA district championship.

"Our goal is to win districts, not just go this year," said athletic director and coach Bill Helman.

He said the team looks very strong, with four returning infielders: Ron Wells, first base; Shawn Hoben, second

base; Doug Montgomery, third base; and Keith Schulz, shortstop.

Helman said, sophomores Jay Estrada and Dave Snow should anchor the team as promising returning relief pitchers.

"These two should contribute signif­icantly," he said.

Wells, who is also a relief pitcher, set a school record last year with five saves, and senior Ty Rollins finished last year with tremendous outings at pitcher, Helman said.

•••

Metro also signed three junior-college transfer pitchers this season. Junior John Wilkinson, sophomore Tom Gri~ cius and junior Randy Malden, who, Helman said, will be the number one or two pitcher.

Senior Todd Vaughn will start at catcher and Helman said he expects solid play from last year's All-District designated hitter.

"He had a big year of hitting (.369) and I expect a fine job from him," he said.

Junior Doug Southard will back up Vaughn, catching the second game of double-headers.

Schulz and Hoben each batted over .350 last year while Wells led the team with a .388 average.

But, Helman said, "We11 only go as far as our pitching takes us. H they come through we'll be in districts. We can't get off to one of those slow starts."

He said the schedule, which includes district rival Denver University, appears to be the toughest ever . Metro has a 2-2 record against DU, .over the last four years .

"Our schedule features a pretty bru­tal star t," Helman said. "But the nice thing about it is the spring trip to Los Angeles (March 24-27) where we11 play five games."

2 Freshmen Named All-American As Team Places 15th

Curt Sandoval Reporter

The MSC men's swim team had two freshmen named to the NAIA All­American team at the national meet in Orlando, Fla., last weekend.

MSC swimmer Sean Wendtreceived the national honor by virtue of a sixth­place finish in the 400-meter Indivi­dual Meclley. Diver Joe McAdam was named an All-American as he placed ninth in both the one- and three­meter diving board.

An athlete must finish in the top 12 at Nationals to be named to the All­Arnerican team.

Coach John Bockstahler said he was pleased with the team's 15th place overall finish, but felt the team could have done better.

"I think the pressure got to 1 the freshmen," he said. "They all seemed to be nervous about such a big meet." MSC qualified five freshmen and one junior to the NAIA meet.

Bockstahler said he cut the team's practices prior to the meet in hopes that the team would peak at Nationals. However, he said the shorter practices may have hurt the young team D1ore than it helped.

"You tell these guys about the pres­sure and they don't seem to hear you, and then they go through it (the pres­sure)," Bockstahler said.

"With such a young team, the experi­ence they got was valuable." He added the experience the freshmen gained at Nationals will be a benetit to the 1987 season. ·

Bockstahler said he is in the process of a strong recruiting year which should lead to a very competitive team with experience next season. D

'Rough Weekend' Costs Softball Team Deanna Allen Reporter

Mental errors and injuries plagued ' the MSC women's softball team last weekend at the Las Cruces Tourney in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

"It was a rough weekend," Coach Jim Romero said. "Too many injuries and too many mistakes kept us from winning ball games."

The Roadrunners went 0-5 during the tourney, playing such college powerhouses as Arizona State, Kansas University, and Universfry of New Mexico.

In their opening game of the tour­nament, the women lost to Arizona State 5-1. In the second game against Kansas, they were tied in the fourth inning 2-2, till the J ayhawks' bats came alive and dominated the rest of the game, winning 16-2. New Mexico defeated MSC 12-0, while Western Michigan won 5-2.

The final tournament game against Northeast Louisiana was tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh when the Roadrunners made a throwing error to first base after a routine grounder, which allowing Northeast Louisiana to bring in the winning run.

"Las Cruces is the best education for the team," Romero said. "We play the really good teams with lots of depth and stay with them till they out­distance us in the final innings. We just don't have the depth (other teams) d " o.

Injuries have made finding the win­ning track more difficult for Romero.

MONEY isn'l hard to come by during these times of increased employmenL and opporLuoity. Still. our hard-earned cash seems Lo slip Lhrough our fingers like water. Strelching B dollar past its limits has become BS important as the original ta.sk 9f earning that dollar.

There are many easy ways to increase your dollar's buying power. In less than two weeks I turned $40 into .$84.85 by investing $'2.50 in a Gold C b<°X)k. I saved on movies. food and B haircuL. and I didn'L have I to make a special trip. I saved Bl I stores I patronized regularly. On Lop of everything. the profits from 1

the book went to help supporL the Special Olympics.

SmarL shopping is another easy way to save. By buying only the items I need (avoiding impulse buying) and checking the ads. I can find the mosL economical stores lo shop at. Malls are another good way to save. ~ince · so many stores are in one Brea. you can do most of your shopping without driving all over town. Malls also can be fun. but that's not important.

There are various ways lo make your money stretch. Many discount cards are available. such as QTD bus passes. Buyers Club memberships. sports discount cards and most importa.nt. simplified and economical coupons. Yes, I said COUPONS. and they're very easy to use. Watch for the next article in this series designed lo help all students take better financial control of their lives.
