Metro negotiates sister-city agreement .with Chinese Bob Autobee Reporter

Metropolitan State College will go international for the rest of the week as a sister city agreement is negotiated between MSC and Shenyang Construc­tion and Engineering College of She­nyang, China.

The agreement will bring a one-year faculty exchange and other cultural programs to the two schools. For the week of April 28 to. May 2, three administrators, including Sheyan College President Qu Guoyi, will visit a TV

station, the Tabor Center; King Soop­ers on 13th and Speer and various Metro classrooms.

Dr. Michael Tang, acting director of sponsored research and grants in MSC' s office for Institutional Advancement, said this exchange between East and West is a sign of China's willingness to join the rest of the world.

"It's a big deal for the Chinese," Tang said. "The sister college concept is part of Deng Xiao Peng's Four Modernization Program intended to bring China into the modern world."

Tang also said is a big deal for Metro State.

'Tm excited for Metro, because this shows that we can reach oul interna­tionally like the UCLAs, the Berkeleys, and the Harvards of the academic world," Tang said.1

Denver and Sbeyang share a few similarities. They are both capitals -Shenyan,e: of Liaoning provice in the north of China. Both cities have air :pollqtion P.roblems. According to Tang. the cities share something else: the need to learn more about each other.

"Metro wants to start a Chinese stu­dies program which would lead to an eventual faculty and student exchange with Shenyang," he said "In return, the Chinese want to learn more about us, culturally and politically. We both have the bond that both schools are urban institutions with a serious student body. I think we both have a lot to work with as sister schools."

MSC President Paul Magelli will negotiate the final terms of the sister college agreement on Friday, May 2 at 3 p .m. in Central Classroom 301: D

UCO students turn ap_athy into political action

Robert Smith Reporter

Frustration with government leads some people into apathy - but not one group of UCD students. They've decided to change things.

AU 12 of the group are running for office in the spring elections for UCO student government. They've formed the Students for Justice party, deve­loped a comprehensive campaign plat­form and distributed flyers and pam­phlets around campus.

"A lot of us have been friends for a while, and we've been involved in the same struggles for political causes," said Leisa Greth, one of the party's candidates for co-executive.

"We all got pretty fed up with stu­dent government. It hasn't been truly interested in students or their growth

"It is ridiculous to pay $10,000 for Jay Leno when we can't get $300 for Angela Davis."

The party advocates reducing stu­dent senators' pay and increasing sup­port for student organizations and clubs, but those are only two of the 24 points in its platform.

Others include: publishing teacher/­course evaluations, seeking an affor­dable health service for UCO students, improving campus security and the library, reinstituting the World Friend­ship Festival and opposing groups such as Accuracy in Academia.

Greth said they've had some opposi-tion. ·

"Some candidates have dubbed us as radical. They're threatened by our getting 10 candidates (for senator) on the ballot."

Greth, a graduating political science major who will he a UCD graduate student next fall, said the Students for Justice approach situations from a World Citizen perspective.

"This .campus is alienating, in an ethnic sense. There are many different people on campus, hut it is not reflec­tive of the true makeup of Denver. Events like the World Friendship Fes­tival could help recruit some of the . many international people in Denver," Greth said.

There are 15 sh1dent senate seats open. Students for Justice has 10 can­didates, and there are 14 other people nmning without an affiliation.

In addition to Greth and her runn­ingmatc Mohammed Mudarn•s, then• arc three other teams nmning for the executive positions; John Decker and Fred Soffa, Santiago Lucero and Hose Young, and Tim Pepkowski and an unknown candidate.

None of the nth.er candidates for executive off ice could hl' n•ached before th<• deadline for this l1dition.

The area has been transformed into a magical place of clowns, creatures and games underneath a sky of silver paper stars reflecting the ceiling lights.

watching as a computer creates a photo of her daughter, Lindsay.

"I don't go to school here," Arnold said. "But I read about it in the news­paper and decided to bring Lindsay and see what it was all about. And we are having a great time."

Just then, Mrs. Bird from Channel Six walked through the room passing out stickers, stopping at the face paint­ing table to admire the colorful faces.

Back in the game room, the serious contests were taking place.

In one corner, players were care­fully watching their hands in blackjack and five card draw, while others tried their luck at challenge billiards.

In a room usually full of the beeps and buzzes of video .e;ames wen~ the rousing cheer of bettors as they

watched h,orse racing films and applaud their good fortune or curse their bad.

At each game players were given punches in a card to be exchanged for

1 prizes at the end of the night. Every­one received a punch for trying a game, and each winner received addi­tional punches. The more full punch cards a player collected, the bigger prize be could redeem them for at the

prize claim booth. While the games drew the bigge

crowds, there was also plenty of enter­tainment.

Downstairs in the mission, "State of Mind" played their bluesy-jazz rock as the crowd consumed hot dogs and pitchers of beer, taking a break from the activities on the midway.

Entertainment for the younger set included national juggling champions "Air Jazz," a Polynesian dance troupe and Tom Jensens' Puppets.

As 9 p.m. approached, the crowd began to thin as i:he games wound down and the line at the prize claim booth grew.

Parents and children began to com­pare their fortunes to see what they could buy with their punch cards.

One little girl slipped underneath the table so she could show her mother exactly which doll she wanted to take home.

After gathering their prizes and their child~en, parents began to walk slowly into the night toward their cars to begin the journey home.

So ended a night full of good times and games, another successful Family Night just memories under the silver paper stars. O

cerning his vision for the future of the city, and, though he warned the group a spring cold might limit his speech, the mayor answered the students' questions and concerns well past the scheduled time.

"I want to start with a conversation I recently had with a friend," began . Pena relating the woes of a friend who bemoaned Denver's problems, such as the brown cloud, the sluggish econ­omy, and the lack of a viable transpor- · tation system.

"The more I listened, the more I started to realize ... people have that impressioµ of Denver," Pena said.

"We need to remind ourselves as city administrators that we have a strategic plan," the mayor stated before listing five goals of his administration.

One, Pena cited the safeness of Denver and the fact that Denver's crime rate is below the nation~} aver­age.

"We can't take credit for this because crime is related to many different things. But we are very much con­cerned." ·

Second, Pena said he hopes to keep Denver's economy strong and diversi­fied. He made little mention of the plight of Denver's oil business, but when questioned about Denver's oil economy, the mayor said he was con­cerned about limiting Denver's reliance on any one sector of the economy.

Pena's third goal for his administra­tion is long-term planning. He said decisions need to be made now for the Denver of 2020 and 2050.

Improving Denver's quality of life is fourth on the Pena agenda, with run­ning the city moreefficiently taking up the slack.

Pena then went on to discuss "some of our major challeng_es:"

The brown cloud: "Ten years ago we had 140 "bad air"

days. This year we had 40. Who knows that? Nobody knows that. We have made remarkable progress."

The new airport: "Stapleton generates $1 billion a year

to our economy. We hope to have the new airport built by 1995-that's only 10 years away."

Denver's improved relationship with its neighbors, especially Adams County:

"The new airport will be beneficial to Adams County as well as to Denver. Before, these decisions were not being made. We were at war with Adams County."

The Arts: "For a long time, the arts groups felt

excluded. We've developed grants to give to local arts ·groups and have made a major investment in the Denver Center· for the Performing Arts to· make it one of the best in the country."

Citizen involvement: "The old days of the Mayor Daly s

are gone. There are too many people who care enough to be involved. I've been criticized for not paying enough attention to our commissions, but I believe deeply in our citizen commis­sions."

In conclusion, Hizzoner stated: "In the midst of our misery, we have made a lot of progress."

Pena replied to a question regarding his personal political ambitions:

"I don't know, it's day to day with me these days." D

Venard said he used the $100 to buy a new calculator, and to take out his girlfriend.

Venard said he invested about 150 hours on designing and assembling the catwalk climber.

Only two designs qualified in the competition, because the other mech­anisms failed to complete two of the three runs up the catwalk.

"There were a lot of crashes," said Howard Paynter, an instructor of Mechanical Engineering Technology.

Venard's climber was given a separ­ate award because he had the only design that completed all three cat­walk runs.

COPIRG Means. Student

Fact The MSC CoPIRG Proposal was Well Thought Out

The Metro CoPIRG proposal was mod­eled after CoPIRG funding and organiza­tional arrangements already in place at UNC and CSU. The funding system has received the specific legal approval of the office of the Colorado Attorney General.

At Metro, students have been meeting for two semesters concerning the CoPIRG chapter. Metro students took the unusual step of qualifying the question for ballot by a petition rather than simply asking the student govenment to place it on the bal­lot. While only 1,400 signatures were needed, -over 2,400 Metro students signed the petition supporting CoPIRG and call­ing for the referendum.vote.

,

Fact Through CoPIRG Students Do Meaningful Work

The community newspaper in Greeley has closely followed the work of CoPIRG students at the UNC chapter and at a statewide level. On April 22, a Tribune editorial described CoPIRG's work as fol­lows:

"UNC students who work on CoPIRG projects receive additional benefits from the organization. They gain researching, writing and debating experience, and earn academic credits. A student's participa­tion in CoPIRG also plants the seed of social awareness and creates a better un­derstanding of the need for individual com­mitment to community iss11es. That lesson in civic responsibility will benefit the shl­dents later in life, and that, in him, will influence their contributions to the quality of life in their hometowns."

Involvement

Fact The Waivable CoPIRG Fee is Fair

Referenda #4 proposes a waivable fee of $3.00 per student per semester. It would be, without question, the fairest student fee on campus since it will be the only waivable fee. This funding system is the same as that used by students at UNC and CSU to fund their CoPIRG chapters. This system .provides a stable funding base for CoPIRG. Polls have consistently shown that the percent paying the fee is the same or lower than the percent who support CoPIRG's programs. There is 15 years of data with optional student fees (the first state PIRG's were established in 1971) and it is clear that there is no other fee arrange­ment which provides students the funding they need to establish an effective organi­zation, while allowing unsupportive stu­dents the option of not paying the fee.

OPINION Campus guest towed, parking system criticized

Editor,

A dismal parking problem awaited Jesse Ceci, Stanley Scheller, and some of the audience following the DENVER DUO concert on the evening of Monday, April 7th. Auraria parking had ticketed at least three cars at $15 per ticket and had towed and impounded the car of Jesse and Cathy Ceci. It is incredible but true that Auraria gives $15 citations for parking whereas the city of Denver charges only $6. (Auraria claims it is restricted parking - it is neither handicap nor loading zone so why is it restricted?) MQreover a $15 fine doubles to $30 if not paid in 10 days. There is virtually no way for a visitor to park in lot 1, adjacent to St. Cajetan's for a weekday event. But lot 1 is the most logical and oonvenient lot for performers and audiences.

Returning to the Ceci saga, three previous tickets incurred at rehearsals resulted in the car's impoundment. Valuable music and books in the car were withheld from the Ceci until members of the parking staff could agree to release them. Mrs. Ceci was then taken to a lot guarded by Doberman pinschers and received her music and books. The attendant refused to re-lock the car saying it

was protected by the dogs. The Cecis, having rendered a fine concert for CU-Denver, were made to feel like criminals.

This kind of harassment by Auraria parking smacks of a police state. The punishment is totally unsuited to the crime (i.e. four tickets vs. $130.50 plus impoundment, towing, wasted time, and humiliation). The parking referee (who after a memo from Dean Pritts reduced the three previous fines by one half) stated openly that the objective of Auraria parking is to bring in revenue. The objective should be to provide a parking service to students, staff, faculty and the public. Why has Auraria the right to charge $30 for one parking ticket? And what does the revenue buy? It is my opinion that it employs more people to give more parking tickets.

The parking system is self-serving and does not enhance or support the academic programs. It is a disincentive for the public to attend events at CU-Denver.

Freeman's poll on name change challenged Editor,

I feel I must respond to an article on the front page of the April 4, 1986 edition of THE METROPOLITAN. Mr. Jim Manuel wrote about Allen Freeman's move to change the name of Metropolitan State College. In the article Mr. Freeman's study was cited and results of a student poll regarding a name change for the college were listed.

I feel I must question the results of the poll. I would like some demographic information to support the results. Two hundred and fifty three students from the student body of Metropolitan State College is not a large sample. Where did the sampling take place? Were the participants in the sample asked to list age, sex, race, years of study completed at the college, etc.? Considering the total enrollment of Metropolitan State College a sampling of 253 students is not large enough to generate sufficient data to make the statement "the people who have the most to gain by the name change-the students-are those who favor it."

Rourke defended t;ditor,

I have to remark about the April 23 article regarding Professor Bill Rourke. As a Student Government Student Activist I had the pleasure of working with Professor Rourke. Brendan Kelly and myself spearheaded a proposal to the RTD Board of Directors to establish a college student discounted bus pass. His position on the board and sensitivity to student needs were crucial in the estab­lishment of the, now available, Academic Discounted Bus Passes. This is a glaring example of the need for professor involvement with our community.

My brother is a student in Aerospace.at Metro. He has told me time and again that Professor Rourke is the best, toughest, but best professor that he had since leaving Embry Riddle Aeronauticle University for lack of funds. My brother is currently stationed in Texas as a member of the Colorado National Air Guard. As usual Metropolitan State College is cutting its nose off to spite its face. We have an excellent school yet our own organization is always happy to disregard our role and mission in the Colorado system of Higher Education, our role as the only nontraditional baccalaureate institution in the state.

Only applause, not condemnation, is due to Professor Rourke. Our school should be supporting him not investigating him.

Cruelty in book? Editor,

A book purchased recently from the Auraria Book Center, that I believed to be a humorous book about cats, was indeed anything but humorous. I found it a graphic exploitation of cruelty to cats (animals).

Unable to get a refund(" ... the book is not in new-like condition .. . "), I feel at this point one recourse is to enlighten other humane beings to this travesty of humor.

Having served as a Humane Officer I have seen at first hand accounts of such sick acts as those depicted in this book. If the subject of the book was a child, would we consider the message satirical? I think not. We mii.st speak up for those who have no voice. Please do not mistake this book for satire.

I asked those in charge at the Book Center, why is such a book so prominently displayed next to the CASH register? Indeed, I believe I may have just answered my own questio~.

Sincerely, Carolin R. Best

MSC Student

I agree with Mr. Freeman's statement that Metropolitan State College is a localized name. It depicts the flavor of the college an the clientele the college serves. When the State Legislature mandated the college they stated specifically that the institution was to serve the people of the greater metropolitan area. That is what the institution is doing, and in my opinion the institution is doing the job in an admirable fashion. I submit to you that when Harvard, Yale, Cornell, or any other eastern colleges were 21 years old they most likely had not gained national recognition. Why should we expect Metropolitan State College to move into the national spotlight in 21 years?

This year the college is coming of age. We have a fine history for an institution so young. Leave the name alone, support the administration, the faculty, the students, and the alumni and let's move on from here.

OPINION Former MSC coach advocates support for referendum Editor,

This letter is in regards to the proposed student referendum at MSC. As a former coach, and one who spent 2 years on the MSC campus, I wish to

offer some perspective to the situation. First of all, it is wrong to expect every college student to like athletics. It just

doesn't happen anywhere in the country. Let's face it, athletics scare some people, offend others, and like man} professions, bad examples are easily found. Athletes have been used, pampered, and even paid throughout the country. "Not at MSC" is the cry, and rightly so ....

Some students love sports, enjoy the games, and follow the team. They too, are not unique on the college scene. So the issue I would like to address is what quality exposure programs can mean to the MSC student who really doesn't care that much about athletics, at least not enough to pay additional fees. I would suggest the following advantages to a student.

•Your degree is important to you. You've worked hard, and sacrificed to get it. Many times you've worked a job and in some cases raised a family. Your degree must help you better your life in some way-that's why you went to

Educate yourself on issues Fellow Metro Student:

This is election week. It is your turn to have a voice in who will be representing your interests here at Metro. Take the time to educate yourself on the issues and the candidates.

The major issue facing you is the fee increase referendum. Remember your vote will have a positive influence on the final decision. However, your silence, your failure to vote, will only force the administration to make a decision that will effect you. Don't misunderstand me, I fully support the fee increase. The question is, do you?

Another issue on the referendum is the question pertaining to CoPIRG. As a student at Metro, you could benefit from this program. This could be a positive way to confront some of the problems that our students face. H,owever, the negative check-off system is preying on the uninformed and apathetic student. I don't think that any student organization should use the college as a collection agency.

I have made my decision on how I am going to vote, I hope that you will choose to vote the way that I do, but I11 settle for you to just vote. I give my full support to Mark Gerhart and Gina Houx. I think that as President and Vice President they will actively and effectively represent my interests and yours. Get out and vote.

Editor,

Thank You, Linda Madonna

Candidate for Student Senate

Support student fee increase

At the center of the controversy regarding student fees, the question has arisen: where did the figures come from? As concerned students, we fee] that this information needs to be made public. The Student Fee Task Force spent a lot of time studying other institutions and came up with the following formula. Start with the FTE; 10,257, and multiply by 145, the average weight of a Task Force member. Divide this figure by 75, the number of years until Halley's Comet's next visit. Divide this figure by the number of programs funded by the Student Affairs Board. Then divide by the years MSC has existed; 21. Finally, divide the figure by 7 for luck and you get the figure $6.42 which with 13 more cents will be the student fee increase plus a coke.

But the Student Senate rejected their formula and came up with a new and • improved process. Ignore FTE and everybody's weight. Concentrate on Hal­ley's Comet and the average tenure of the MSC President. Divide by the number of jellybeans in Phi Chi Theta's jar and multiply by Student Government's office number. Thus, they got $12.50.

But seriously, neither figure is justified. The average fee for a four-year school in Colorado is $197.50/year and MSC's will still be far below that average. The Student Fee Task Force found that the average fee at "comparable" institutions was $181.92/year and they failed to recommend that we get near that. $12.50 is not going to make t.ts competitive, but it is a start.

You decide if $12.50 is an unreasonable figure. You decide if the Student Senate capriciously ignored the Task Force. For us the answer is no. Support the increase, support quality, support MSC.

college. Athletics help the business community recognize your college. Two years ago, I personally called on over 80 Denver area businesses. Unfortunately many individuals in hiring positions did not know the extent of our academic program. Athletics brought the MSC name. (clearly) to the media-and through the media to the business community. It is interesting that one company that professed poor knowledge a9out MSC ended up a major corporate sponsor. When you put your application in for a competitive position, you hope the employer will know MSC is a quality four year college. Athletics will help that.

•Through strong fund-raising efforts in athletics, relationships are built with companies. When a company gives to one area of the college, it enhances the potential-for other gifts completely un-related to athletics. One major athletic donor expressed a strong interest in supporting women and minority programs on campus. I don't know if anyone followed through when I left, but the opportunity was there. I should note that athletics do help in raising funds for other programs. \IVhen I first arrived on campus the Entire Foundation had $700.00 and the Alumni Association was in the RED. The need is obvious and athletics will help.

In closing, I do npt advocate the funds for nothing returned. I would encour­age some strings to you: ( 1) Challenge the athl.etic department to get to the community and match your

funds. Require them to speak to civic groups and business gatherings. (2) Hold the coaches accountable for grade point averages, and graduation

rates. Don't sacrifice academics when you don't have to. (3) Demand that ALL programs benefit, not just one or two. ( 4) Demand that a strong publicity effort be made, and hold the proper people

accountable for generating the publicity for the Institution. (5) Ask the athletic department to host a reception for ALL graduating seniors.

with downtown business people. It's a small price for them to pay for your help.

I hope this letter encourages a positive vote for the referendum. MSC is quality with many fine people. A positive vote can help all of you reach your goals.

OPINION Sinel plays McCarthy to CoPIRG's victim

Lisa Arndt The Metropolitan Staff

In the 1950's, a senator from Wisconsin became the founder of what is now referred to as McCarthyism-the use of sensational accusations backed by flimsy and doubtful evidence to discredit a group or individual.

Well, McCarthyism is in full swing here at MSC, with Maria Sinel playing the role of the devious Senator Joe McCarthy and CoPIRC, a non-profit, non­partisan public interest research group that works to benefit students and con­sumers, in the position of the unfortunate victim.

However, Sinel, former head of the Campus Republicans at ~etro, is merely a pawn of the College Republican National Committee, which bas issued what it refers to as an "anti-PIRC packet."

The committee, which has been known to monetarily reward campus Repub­lican leaders for the destruction of a PIRC, would be happy to know that Maria has followed the packet directions unfalteringly and that she has been­unfortunately-moderately successful.

In the "Strategies to Use before PIRC is Instituted" section of the anti-PIRC packet, the first step is to get the school administration to question the legality of a PIRC.

The legality questions stem from a court case in which a New Jersey PIRC was found unconstitutional because the group instituted a mandatory refundable fee, which meant students were forced to contribute to the organization whether they supported it or not, and could request a refund at a later date.

CoPIRC's fee, however, is waivable. By merely putting an X in a box on their registration forms, students bypass CoPIRC's fee altogether. Further, if students feel they were uninformed before making the decision, they can receive a refund at anytime during the semester.

Even though the state attorney general ruled three years ago that CoPIRC is constitutional, Sinel contacted Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice president of student affairs, who, in turn, contacted the attorney general's office to receive a dupli-cate decision. The tactic here is delay. .

Sinel cleverly waited until the week before the election commission's deadline for referendum questions to raise the issue, with the hope that the election commission would refuse to place CoPIRC's question on the referendum until its legality was proven.

But the tactic didn't work. The second ploy has been far more successful for Sinel-an attack on CoPIR C

funding. The packet instructs the instigators: "At this stage, don't attack their political

leanings, but attack only the funding policy .... This way it doesn't look like an

attack on the left by the right" (which it is. The packet labels PIRCs as "leftist" because they "work hand-in-hand with civil disobedience groups," such as the "Marxist" United States Student Association, and the "radical" U.S. Peace Council.)

in reality, CoPIRC deals with issues such as toxic waste clean-up, voter registration laws and tenants' rights.

CoPIRC's funding is the issue with which Sinel has had the most success in swaying opinions.

At the beginning of March, Sinel sent a letter to Student Senate members, in which she referred to CoPIRG's funding methods as "subversive." When CoPIRG organizers later attended a Senate meeting to defend their organiza­tion, several of the senators echoed the same sentiment: "CoPIRC is a great organization that does wonderful things, but I have to fight it because of the funding."

Sinel said CoPIRC's negative check-off funding policy "preys on the unsus­pecting student," because the students must indicate when they register that they do not support the group rather than that they do support the group and wish to contribute $3.

The truth is, students have four opportunities to boycott the group individually. First, they could have refused to sign the petition which clearly explained the funding system. On the contrary, the group received overwhelming support and collected about 600.more signatures than necessary. That, in itself, indicates that students do want CoPIRG on campus.

In addition, students can vote against CoPIRC in the student government elections this week if they happened to have changed their minds since the signature collection.

Next, any student who does not support CoPIRG can refuse to contribute the $3 by checking the appropriate box on the registration form. (Too bad it doesn't work this way for the activity fee increase.) The box will not be in small print in an obscure place, as Sinel implied. It will be clear and concise.

As a final measure, CoPIRC's establishment on campus will be contingent upon elections held every two years. H students oppose the group, they merely need to cast votes against it.

What can we expect next from Sinel and the McCarathyism packet? Expect to find the campus plastered with anti-PIRC posters the day before the

election. This allows less time for counter-action from CoPIRG. Expect strong opposition to CoPIRC from the Senate and the admin­

istrators-they've already been swayed. Expect more convincing rhetoric from Sinel and the Republicans. Expect all those Machiavellian manuevers, but look beyond it all before

casting your vote. D

CoPIRG's funding mechanism should be barred Editor,

I would like to set the record straight regarding Ms. Arndt' s report in the April 9th Metropolitan. Although the article was well-written and objective, a few errors and misquotations need to be corrected.

First. I never stated that CoPIRC should be "barred from campus." I hold a firm belief in the First Amendment right to associate, and feel strongly that every legitimate group has the right to exist. But I den't believe they have an automatic right to our cash. What should be barred is CoPIRC's funding mechanism.

Second. I do not object to Mr. Meyer's presence. I object to the fact that the student CoPIRC members can't answer any of my questions without him. If a student group is supposed to be by and for the students, how can it be com­pletely run by an outside organization? Are the students being used as pawns? Why did John Meyer, a non-student, give the interview, and not Paul Canny, the student leader of CoPIRC? Because Paul couldn't answer the questions.

In my conversation with Ms. Arndt, we discussed at length my main point with regard to my opposition of the funding issue. To my dismay, that point did not appear in the article.

My main objection lies in the recent Galda v. Blaustein decision of the United States Court of Appeals (Third Circuit). The United States Supreme Court did not grant certiorari in March, 1986, which means the decision of the lower Court stands. In this appellate decision, the Galda Court addressed the issue wherein the New Jersey PIRC (NJPIRC) automatically received mandatory student fee money on the Rutgers University campus. If the student disagreed with the fee deduction, he or she would be required to pursue a refund after the fact. This mandatory fee process was determined unconstitutional by the Galda Court.

It is my position that the definition of "mandatory" can be directly applied to the "negative check-off" proposed by CoPIRG for this campus. If one must check a box to prevent the deduction of a fee, is that not intercepting a manda­tory and automatic fee? I believe it is. Any method which forces the student to prevent a group from automatically taking his or her money is clearly subversive.

Too harsh a term? Definitely not. Think about it. Most people associate checking a box with wanting what goes with it. In this case, you'll have to check the box if you don't want what goes with it. Subversion occurs when you trick someone into giving you money by deliberately misusing conventional methbds to your advantage.

People historically neglect to check boxes without reading the fine print because they don't want to get involved. These students will make CoPIRG rich. How convenient for CoPIRG.

In addition, CoPIRG wants this negative check-off box to go on your class registration form. Those students who aren't on the lookout for political funding will just sign up for their classes-and miss the box, subsequently funding a political group they may not believe in. Silly concept, isn't it-thinking that the only purpose of a registration form is to sign up for classes.

Finally, if you do send your money to CoPIRC (whether or not you wanted to}, it goes to a national pot. How do you like that? A group that supposedly represents the campus and is a campus group is going to send your money elsewhere where you the student have absolutely no say whatsoever in where it's spent. This is called the old "trust me" principle.

Take another look at Mr. Meyer's answers in the April 9th article. He is quite astute, no? You will note in several instances, he successfully circumvented the issue directed to him. In fact, in at least one instance, he responded with an answer to a different question. In other words, he can't give a straight answer to a legitimate question. Why?

Vote "no" on the upcoming referendum question. If not, don't say you weren't :warned.

The free people of the world cer­tainly don't need the likes of Daniel Ortega gumming up the works. The Sandinistas are further proof that communism hardly functions in theory, and never pans out in practice. Some might say the same of Ronald Reagan ~nd freely elected govern­ments, and that's fine as long as their beliefs remain in the realm of ideas and opinions.

One of the great distinctions between the U.S. and Nicaragua, and a major cause of our cdhflict, is the authori­tarian nature of the Sandinistas. They have assumed authority, and are trying to legitimize their ideas through the use of force. A good example is their strict control of the media. If the San­dinistas believed in freedom, they would accommodate a free press.

An important thing to remember, though, is that these type of guys are a dime a dozen. Tin-horn tyrants dot the face of our planet. We cannot destroy them all without destroying the world.

The one thing we can do, as a nation, and as a free people, is distin-

guish ourselves from the bad guys. We can be true to traditional American principles and beliefs - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We can establish these ideals the way they were intended to be established, in America, by direct example.

Nowhere is there evidence to sug­gest our founding fathers killed babies, sold narcotics or smuggled guns for ·profit. The president's claim that the Contras are the moral equivalent of Washington, Madison and Jefferson off ends the memory of these men and indicates the president's need for remedial history. If the president insists on strong

arming the Sandinistas, let him raise a hundred million bucks from private sources, and keep the U.S. govern­ment, and people out of it.

American idealism must be an incor­ruptible force in this world, a constant, unambiguous expression of hope for humanity. This cannot be done by hir­ing a la tin mafia to knock off a gang of communist thugs. o Keith Levise is a freelance writer in Denver.

Terrorism burning in the Mediterranean. Of course, The_ Reality is more cluttered. Communism growing in Central America. Capitalism flour­ishing to the north, only a day's drive from Managua.

The complexity of issues is rivaled only by the diversity of opinions. ·

The Reality is filled with children dying of pellagra while otherwise honest and sincere people spend billions on bullets.

Does a vote against contra aid a communist sympathizer make?

Does a successful gunfight with Khadafy increase or decrease the international weight of danger? If the answers were apparent, then otherwise honest and sincere people would have no trouble agreeing on solutions.

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

- - H. G. Wells

Uncle Sam's Terrorism Lawrence Mosqueda

Two w"eeks ago, Reagan bombed Libya in retaliation for alleged Libyan terrorism in the Middle East and Europe. Reagan has supplied no evi­dence to back up his charges of Libyan complicity. International experts agree that even if Khadafy is responsible for these isolated acts of terrorism, the 'Reagan bombing, with resultant civ­ilian deaths, was totally out of propor­tion to the original acts.

The U.S. people are rightfully horri­fied at terrorist acts that result in the loss of innocent civilian lives. They should be equally horrified about ter­rorism committed in their name by the U.S. government. the CIA estimates that between 1968-1980 3,669 people were killed by what the CIA considers to be acts of terrorism. If we accept the CIA conceptions (Palestinians, Libyans, etc.) of who are terrorists and expand the time frame to 1950-1986 then per­haps 5,000 people have died in "terror­ists" acts. We should not, of course, accept racist CIA concepts of what constitutes terrorism . . However, 5,000 is not an insignificant number.

This total, however, pales next to the demonstrated, proven terrorist cam­paigns funded, instigated and directed by the CIA and the U.S. government. The U.S. is directly responsible in the post World War II era for the deaths of 70,000 people in Iran (since the 1952 CIA sponsored coup}; 100,000 in Gua­temala (1954 coup against the demo­cratic government); 500,000 in Indone­sia (1964-65); 30,000 in Chile (1973}; 60,000 in El Salvador since 1976; 60,000 in Nicaragua since 1975; 5,000,000 in Southeast Asia since 1946. Plus thou-

. sands more in the Dominican Republic (1965) and Grenada (1983).

For the U.S. government to con­demn isolated acts of "terrorism" is the grossest level of hypocracy. The U.S. in the past WWII era has created a holocaust among Third World people and then claims moral superiority and indignation when people resist.

If we are really against terrorism it is not sufficient to be only against the kil_ling of one U.S. citizen a week -but also against the wholesale geno­cide committed by terrorists Reagan, Shultz, Weinberger, Kissinger, et. al.

We can make a difference. Military personnel must decide whether or not to follow illegal orders to invade Cen­tral America. People who drop 2,000 pound bombs on innocent men, women and children are not heroes. Heroes are people like Dr. Charlie Clemants, a former Air Force officer who refused to continue to participate in the Viet­nam War.

them know we are not for U.S. spon­sored terror in Nicaragua - that we oppose contra te"orist aid and no "compromise''. A "compromise" on the amount of aid will be meaningless, since Reagan wants to unleash the CIA budget and manpower to destroy Nicaragua.

We can also make a difference if we pressure Gov. Richard Lamm to not allow the Colorado National Guard to be sent to Honduras for "exercises" in June. Other Governors have seen through Reagan's war plans and refuse to send their National Guards to partic­ipate in this affront to peace. There will be a demonstration against send­ing the Guard at the Governor's Man­sion, May 17, 12 noon - 2 p:m. For more information call 831-7692 or 832-4508. We can stop terrorism, not by bombing children, but by being for peace and justice and stopping whole­sale genocide. Lawrence Mosqueda is an assistant professor of political science at UCD.

Prof sees a world cleanly fractured: Marxist vs. free

Bob Haas MetroSty/e Editor

Juan Esteve is an anti-communist. In the 1950's he worked in Cuba with

Fidel Castro for the overthrow of the Batista government.

The MSC foreign language profes­sor knows Castro "pretty well. I've known him since 1946."

Castro has said that he was always a communist and wiU be all of his life. "That's a big lie," Esteve says. "(Cas­tro) was not a communist in the early days.

"I was against all of the governments prior to Castro because of corruptiop," he says. "I turned against Castro because he betrayed his country when he went communist."

Esteve sees the world as cleanly fractured between those countries which are 'so called marxist-com­munist' and 'the free world.'

"The marxists are very organized and cohesive," he says. "They believe in the philosophy and will do whatever is necessary to see its fruition .

"The lack of cohesion within the

democracies prevents a united front. "Communists are not going to solve

the problems of the workers and the underprivileged," Esteve says. "Mate­rialistically, things are not better in Cuba now," he adds.

But Esteve makes a strong distinc­tion between an anti communist and a "right-winger."

"I don't want the U.S. to send Marines into Cuba," he says. "But we should support those in Cuba who are ready to free the Cuban people."

Like the contras in Nicaragu.a? "In Nicaragua, it is obvious that the

objective is establishing a communist regime in Central America. This is very, very dangerous.

"I don't see any realistic and practi­cal solution (to the problems in Central America) in the near future," says Esteve. "We should either invade Nicaragua outright and get rid of the cancer, or learn to get along. .

"U.S. aid to the contras is not the solution to that problem,'' Esteve says. "The Sandinistas are already in power, and the Soviets will give them any­thing they want.

Juan Esteve

"The only possibility for a long term solution is coexistence. Coexistence does not mean the other side can do whatever they want." Esteve cites Libya. "There are times when we must show force," he says. He supports the U.S. bombing of Libya on these grounds. "However," he says, "this is no fong term solution to the problem."

The Metropolitan Page 11

"I am an American citizen, so I believe I have the right to criticize," Esteve says. "I never did before."

Esteve supports a "Marshall Plan" for Central America.

"If we can help the masses, the peo­ple, and take away some of the dissa­tisfactions, then communism will be

MetroStyle Neanderthal capitalists

create total itaria·n cancer

Robin Held When peo-ple ask me what we should

do about Central America, I tell them we should handle it like we would cancer: remove the malignancy and eliminate its cause.

The malignancy is socialist totalitar­ianism. It was created by North Amer­icans whose business practices made capitalism a dirty word in Central America.

If we leave this malignancy untreated, it will infect the whole body politic of the Western Hemisphere because, like cancer, socialist totalitar­ianism spreads. Through terrorism and subversion and guerrila war it will spread out from the point of infection and if it does we can look forward to personally experiencing what has befallen our fellow human beings in Europe and Asia. Some examples: - during the 1930s, socialist totalitar­ians in Russia killed around 30 million human beings; - during the 1940s, socialist totalitar­ians in Germany killed over 6 million human beings and precipitated a war that killed 45 million more;

his mills, he said, and his ships and property and all of his investments -but leave him his people - and he would have everything back in no time at all.

Neanderthal capitalists got this · backward in Central America: they kept the property and lost The People. They lost · The People b.ecause they cared more about their property than The People who produced it. And in losing The People, Neanderthal capi-_; talists created within the body politic the environment which gave rise to the malignancy in Managua.

From these observations and events it should be clear to even the most primitive capitalist that the trampling of The People must stop because, $

cancer aside, it makes good economic sense. As John Stuart Mill said, "in proportion to the development of individuality, each person becomes more valuable to himself, and is there­fore m?.re capable of being valuable to others.

Unfortunately, we are burdened with two problems: pacifists who want to eliminate the cause but not the malig-

, What neanderthal captialists fail or refuse to recognize is that huf1'.'an beings are caJ1ital.

- in the 1950s, socialist totalitarians in North Vietnam killed 1 million human beings; - during the 1960s, socialist totalitar­ians in China killed 30 million human beings; and - during the 1970s, socialist totalitar­ians in Cambodia killed 2 million human b eings, or about one fourth of the country's population.

From this record it should be obvious to even the most ardent pacifist that the socialist totalitarians in Nicaragua represent what George Orwell envi­sioned when he said "If you want a picture of the future of humanity, imagine a boot stomping on a human face· - forever."

At the same time, it must be under­stood that this malignancy exists b ecause Neande rtha l capitalists trampled on Central America's human needs and aspirations in their .rush to the bank.

Now, as I understand it, an essential premise of capitalism is that you don't live off your capital. You invest your capital, make it produce, then live off the profits. What Neanderthal capital­ists fail or refuse to recognize is that human beings are capital. More specif­ically, human b eings are the ultimate capital because they produce all wealth.

No less a capitalist than Andrew Carnegie understood this. Take away

nancy because they're afraid it's going to hurt; and Neanderthal capitalists who want to remove the malignancy but not the cause because they don't want to give up their sloppy thinking and bad habits.

But the malignancy must be remov~ by whatever means necessary lest it destroy the democratic body politic of the West. This probably means mil­itary surgery because cancer doesn't negotiate. And if pacifists find this dif­ficult to ac'eept, they might meditate on this: Nicaraguan interior ministen: Thomas Borge considers them his "army of useful fools" - and in the history of socialist totalitarianism, use­ful fools are the first to catch a bullet in the back of the head "when the revolu­tion comes."

Likewise, the cause must be elimi-'"' nated because· no body, human or politic, can survive repeated surgery. This probably means developing the capital pool because ignorant, desper­ate human b eings have a tendency to trade their tool sets in on an AK-47 .. And if Neanderthal cllpitalists find this difficult to accept, they might rumi­nate on this: it costs more to kill The People than it does to treat them right. Robin Heid is the executive editor of

Media fuels terrorist acts As terrorism continues to mushroom into one of the strongest powers in the

world we must pause, for just a moment, and consider a vital ingredient in the volatile crime.

The media. Without the instant coverage, governments and terrorists would· act differ­

Jtlltly. What pressure it must be for a president to watch the media coverage of an incident, along with millions of voters, and try to decide whether the country should get involved. The media has already made that decision.

If the event had not been turned into a mini-series of news shows, the flash of terror may have fizzled out.

The battle against terrorism doesn't begin in Libya. The real proponant of 1errorism is the ratings-fueled media . .., How long can a terrorist last, flying from qne airport to another looking for sympathy if nobody is listening?

Editors argue that the people want and need the information. Not so. To open the airways to terrorists fuels their fire and makes an immature incident an international issue. There are some things in this world that soap-sellers need not announce and publicize. In this highly technological age the media must distin­lP!ish between "breaking the news" and "making the news."

Media manipulation a free press trade-off

Bob Darr Associate Editor

The front page of the newspaper carries a photo of jumbled bodies in the Rome airport.

The nightly news runs hours of spe­cial reports on the hijacking of a TWA jet leaving from Athens.

Air Force and Naval aircraft bomb Libya. Later Libyan television shows what it claims is wreckage from an American plane.

The common factor, aside from the wanton violence, is the role played by the media.

It's easy to contrast the American media, based on a free press, and the Libyan (or most other nations) state controlled press.

How many people really believed the Libyan report on the downed American aircraft? State controlled

Of course the terrorists are using the media. So is Ronald Reagan.

Everyone in our society who sup­ports a position tries to use the media to further his own goals. Whenever a controversial piece of legislation comes before Congress, both sides use the media to get their points across and gather support from the public. How many times has a congressnian leaked information to the press in order to check the waters before committing himself?

Why do you think public relations firms are so su.ccessful?

The media have a responsibility to give the public the most accurate and unbiased information possible. The journalist must dig through all the par­tisan viewpoints and try to portray the situation as honestly and fairly as he can.

When a terrorist hijacks an airplane

Of course the terrorists are using the media. So is Ronald Reagan.

media only report what the state wants reported, showing only the state's ver­sion of events.

A glance at any major newspaper or network news broadcast eliminates any thought that the American media are state controlled. No self respecting totalitarian regime would allow the negative press the Reagan administra­tion has generated the last six years.

· The questions become more .com. plex when addressing the role of the free press itself when covering terror­ist activities.

Many critics of the press maintain the media are becoming actors in world events, instead of observers. They cite cases where peaceful dem­onstrations became violent when the TV cameras showed up. They say that the coverage of terrorist attacks has become the terrorist's goal That the terrorists are using the media.

and demands a press conference to publicize his demands, the media are­being manipulated. But can the media not cover the hijacking? Is it better to ignore the hijacker and hope that other hijackers will discover that you can't get media coverage of terrorist acts? · I don't think so. People really want to know what is .going on in the world. If the media fail to cover any part of world events because of a fear of manipulation, then the whole idea of a free press is dead. How can the public trust any information in the media if it is known that part of the news won't be there because "someone is trying to use the media."

There are no hard and fast answers to the problems in media coverage of terrorism. But the tradition of a free press and a commitment to fair and unbiased coverage is the best answer anyone has come up with so far. o

·Weinberger shows naive faith iri hi-tech weapons Cedric Tarr

The day after the American air strikes on Llbya, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger was asked about reports that the French embassy in Tripoli had been damaged. He responded by say­ing that such a thing could not have happened because the planes attacked only military targets. His response was both revealing and disturbing. It reveals that one of the most influential advisers in the Reagan administration has a naive and amatuerish faith in the abil­ity of modem high technology wea­pons to perform exactly ~ intended in a combat environment.

The French emb~sy was in fact damaged along with a number of other civilian structures. Even with all of the best intentions to avoid such "collateral damage," and the world's best tech­nology, there is no such thing as fool­proof surgical military action. The number of misses may well have been remarkably low for a complex night raid of this type. It }Vas an impressive operation. But it should surprise no one that it wasn't perfect. It apparently surprised the Secretary of Defense. Maybe he has learned from this exper­ience. Maybe he has learned, for

'

example, that even the most advanced laser guidance system can be thrown off by something as ordinary as dust, or smoke.

We can only hope that he doesn't believe any of the nonsense that came out of the administration to explain away the collateral damage. It was suggested that a bomb may have been jarred loose from the crippled FB 111. Even more far fetched was the sugges­tion that Libyan anti-aircraft missiles missed their targets and came back to earth. ·

People knowledgeable enough about weapons scoffed at that notion because the warheads on such missiles are much too small to cause the damage to civilian neighborhoods that was clearly revealed on film and observed by western journalists.

It is too soon' to know what effect, if any, the experience will have.on Khadafy's penchant for supporting terrorism. And it is too soon to know whether the experience will educate the admini­stration about the limits of conven­tional military action as a primary response to terrorism.

Secretary of State George Shultz keeps saying how important it was for the U.S. to demonstrate its willingness to use force. But Khadafy already knew that, based on the two previous military engagements with the U.S.

More to the point is the administra­tion's need to demonstrate to the American public its willingness to initiate a military strike. Shultz also says that the attack was necessary for American self-respect. After years of educating public opinion to believe in the importance of military action, and of puffing up Khadaf y all out of pro­portion to bis actual size, the adminis­tration had to act.

Reagan continues the public threats of additional military attacks. But it is possible that, having demonstrated his machoism to the American public, he will now be more content to concen­trate on other more promising methods of dealing with terrorism, and that the emphasis will shift to prevention and non-military forms of retaliation. The administration admits that terrorism aimed at Americans will continue. Llbya is not the only sponsor, and not the most important one.

The U.S. and its allies may develop more effective ways of coping with terrorism, but its underlying causes will continue to fester. The single most virulent cause of terrorism directed at Americans is the unresolved conflict between Israeli nationalism and reli­gious fundamentalism and Arab nation­alism and religious fundamentalism. Within this complex mix of non-nego­tiable demands and claims of right the

History of U.S., NiCaragua conflict Bernard Rosen Why the conflict between Nicara­

gua and the United States? A brief his­torical summation tells the story.

Since the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850, by means of which Great Britian and the United States decided among themselves to build an interoceanic canal through Nicaragua, the United States has constantly intervened in the internal affairs of the latter.

Three reasons, one or another separ­ately or coming together in combina­tions at particular times, accounted for United States interventions in Nicara­~ua. One, to protect American indus-

tnal1 banking, mining, agricultural and commercial interests in Nicaragua; two, to forestall and keep out of that Cen­tral American country foreign impe­rialist competitors; and, three, to use Nicaragua's geographical position as a base for aggression against other coun­tries in Central America and the Carib­bean.

It is this American economic and political imperialism that is the root cause of the conflict between the Uni­ted States and Nicaragua today.

General Smedley Butler, the United States marine commandant in the early

years of this century, clearly described American imperialism. In 1935, he tes­tified before Congress as follows: "I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force-the Marine

• Corps. I served in all "Commissioned ranks from a Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high­class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism." He then added: "I helped make Mex­ico and especially Tampicp safe for

American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to col­lect revenue in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the inter­national banking house. of Brown Brothers in 1909-12. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped get

. Honduras 'right' for American fruit ·companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested." Thus, he concluded, during those years, "I had, as the boys in the backroom always say, a swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals, promotions. Looking back on it, I feel I might give Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three city districts. We marines oper­ated on three continents."

The racketeering propensity of American imperialism has not changed with the passing years.

In Nicaragua, American imperialism reached its fullest development during the reign of the infamous Somoza dyn­asty (1933-1979). With Washington's blessing, the Somoza gangster family appropriated and/ or controlled a major part of the Nicaraguan economy. And as a quid pro quo for Washington's benevolence towards the thieving Somozas, the latter facilitated the third reason I gave above for American imperialism's intrusion in Nicaragua. The CIA launched its invasion of Gua­temala in 1954 and of Cuba in 1961 precisely from Nicaraguan soil.

The American imperialist penetra­tion in Nicaragua inevitably led to resistance and struggle against it, a struggle which, in one form or another, lasted for over a century. The struggle culminated finally in the Sandanista revolution, a revolution directed both against Somoza, the lackey of impe­rialism, and imperialism itself.

I will not go into aspects of the polit­ics of the Sandanistas, to wit, their adherence or non-adherence to "demo­cracy" and "pluralism," their "dictator­ial" proclivities, etc., etc. These are matters that can be weighed and dis- . cussed at an appropriate time. But these subjects are really extraneous to a discussion of what is fundamental today in the conflict between the United States and Nicaragua.

The issue is imperialism as clearly portrayed above '(see remarks of Gen­eral Smedley Butler) and the efforts of the Nicaraguan people to wrench themselves free from imperialist dom­ination.

I might insert here in the nature of a foot note that all the talk of the Reagan hypocrites about "democracy" and "pluralism" in Nicaragua is hollow, misleading and unconvincing. Sup­posedly devoted to "democracy" and "pluralism," one does not see the Rea­gan Administration fostering and arm­ing military forces to overthrow dicta­tor Pinochet in Chile and dictator

Stroesser in Paraguay. Why? These two dictators are not enemies of impe­rialism and, apparently, each one is, to repeat what President Franklin D. Roosevelt said of one of the Somozas in an outburst of imperialist literary eloquence: "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch."

What frightens Washington are the economic and social goals of the San­danistas. The Sandanista (FSLN) pro­gram, which first appeared in 1969, calls for the following: a widespread revolution in culture and education; broad labor legislation and social security; the emancipation of women; and independent foreign policy free of submission to American imperialism; the union of the Central American peoples in a single country; the nationalization of the banking system as well as the nationalization of the wealth of all foreign companies tha_t exploit the resources of Nicaragua; and authentic agrarian reform with the redistribution of lands to the small producers and rural workers; and the state control of foreign trade.

True, and for one reason or another, not all of the Sandanista goals have been put into effect. But to date, enough has been done to cause a shudder to move up the spines of the imperialists and their servitors in Washington. The banks and scores of large industrial enterprises and some agricultural exports have been nation­alized; a considerable_agrarian reform

has distributed land to small producers and rural workers; large numbers of privat.e mansions and homes have been confiscated and put to public and lower class use; and considerable steps forward have been made in the fields of education and public health.

These economic and s.ocial devel­opments, plus the strong Sandanista opposition to imperialism, accounts for the Reagan administration's efforts to overthrow the Nicaraguan govern­ment.

What is happening in Nicaragua is enough to arouse the ire of the impe­rialists. But another factor adds to their anger and fear. A Nicaragua making economic and social progress can serve as an example to the masses of Central America and stimulate them further to settle accounts with their native and foreign exploiters.

Hence, the Reagan administration's • support for the Contras who, in the.apt words of The Nation (see issue of March 15, 1986) "are a bunch of thieves and assassinst with no significant popu­lar support and certainly no demo­cratic objectives" and who have "as much claim on democratic legitimacy as a mugger has on our moral con­science."

A family squabble has erupted in Washington between Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, as to how best to " contain" and "undermine" the Sandanista govern­ment. However, this is not a fight that

The Metropolitan Page 17

MetroStyle .;hould concern the overwhelming majority of the American people, that is, the millions of industrial and other workers, the millions of middle class employees, the millions of unemployed, the millions of minorities striving for equality and civil rights and the mil­lions of young and elderly poor.

The Sandanistas, whatever their faults and inadequacies, which surely and undoubtedly exist, are not the enemies of the American people. But imperialism, supported by the foul and corrupt ruling classes of the underdeveloped world, surely is. Imperialism is a dark blot on the face of mankind, distorting and unbalanc­ing the world economy and social life and breeding poverty, disease, milita­rism and scores of other blights wher­ever it raises its ugly head.

Mark Twain, eminent writer, decent human being and opponent of impe­rialism, once observed: I am an anti­imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land."

Mark Twain's sentiment must become our own and we should iden­tify with the Sandanista struggle against imperialism. Not because we agree with everything the Sandanistas stand for and do in Nicaragua and on the world scene. Imperialism is the main world-wide enemy of mankind and on that issue the American people and the people of Nicaragua have a common ground on which to stand together.

At the same time, American policy toward the region has reached a state of virtual paralysis.

SPORTS Change of· pace clinches spot in pistrict VII playoffs

Scott Moore Sports Editor

The hard-hitting MSC baseball team enjoyed a nice change of pace over the weekend by winning four of six games behind the strong arms of its pitching staff.

The Roadrunners won three out of four games with arch rival Denver University and split a doubleheader with the University of Northern Colorado Monday.

On the strength of three strong out­ings from its pitchers, MSC swept a doubleheader from the Pioneers Fri­day at home and split two games at DU on Saturday. The Roadrunners are counting down the regular season with only two games left Wednesday at Colorado College.

The men have set numerous records en route to a 24-18 season. and are within reach of some others. The heart and soul of the team has been divided up between seniors Todd Vaughn and Ron ,Wells and juniors Craig Bonato and Doug Montgomery. The foursome have all bettered the home run record of eight, set in 1983 by John Quarton.

Junior John Wilkinson, who entered Friday's opening contest with a 6-3 record, got win number seven by going the distance, hurling nine innings and

striking out four as Metro clipped DU 5-4 in extra innings.

The pivotal point in the game came with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Junior Jeff Ellis dr,ew a bases-loaded walk to force in the win­ning run. The big bats for MSC came from Vaughn and Bonato, who led off the third inning with back-to-back home runs.

Another strong outing, this time from sophomore Jay Estrada, enabled the Roadrunners to edge DU 5-3 in the second game. He also went the dis­tance, striking out four and walking only two.

Senior Shawn Hoben led Metro with two RBI's on the strength of a double and a single.

The' two teams met again Saturday, this time on the Pioneers' field. Again M~C looked as if it were ready to sweep the twin bill, winning the first 7-3 as sophomore Dave Snow pitched a complete game, striking out five and allowing just four hits.

MSC was aided with a four-run third inning that put the game away. A two run single by Bonato, followed by RBI hits from Montgomery and senior Ron Hodges, were all Metro needed. Senior Keith Schulz reached base all five times, going three for three at the plate and drawing two walks .

Baseball/ from 19 runners faced state power UNC. He responded with victory number eight as he went the distance, striking out four while not giving up a single walk. The win ties him with Bob Weber (1985) for most wins in a season.

Wells hit his 17th double in the game, adding to the record he took from Isanhart, who had 13 in 1983.

With the four wins, Metro now sports a 24-18 record, having clinched a berth

in the NAIA District 7 Tournament. For the season, Vaughn has estab-

lished the home run record with 14, bettering John Quarton's record of eight, set in 1983. Bonato is just behind him with 12, while Wells has 10 and Montgomery nine. Vaughn has also established the slugging percentage mark with an .806 percentage .

Both Bonato and Wells have br.oken the RBI record of 50 set in 1981 by Layne Thorp. Bonato has knocked in 57 runs and Wells has 53. Bonato is also two sacrifices short of the record set last year by Wells.

Fitness craze .alive at MSC

Kim Campbell Reporter

The fitness craze of the late '70s bas proved too enduring to qualify as just a fad, and proof of this can be found in MSC's new Campus Fitness Program, a fitness testing program offered by the Department of Physical.Education and Recreation.

"The objective of this program is to tell people about themselves and how they function, and to use this as a tool to improve the quality of their lives," said Dr. Cheryl Norton, exercise phy­siologist, assistant professor at HPER and director of the testing program.

There are several areas of testing in the campus fitness program. They are: cardiovascular health (aerobic work capacity), pulmonary functioning, flex­ibility /range of motion, muscle strength and endurance, body composition, blood pressure, coronary risk factor assessment and blood analysis (which tests for cholesterol and triglyceride levels) . · The cardiovascular health section of the test measures heart activity with an EKG. Readings are taken at rest, sit­ting, and standing to measure cardio­vascular adjustment to postural changes and the amount of oxygen the heart is receiving.

To find out how well the heart adjusts to exercise, subjects are taken to ssi of their maximum workload on a treadmill - the highest level recom­mended for exericise.

A person's maximum heart rate can be accurately predicted just by know­ing their age. What the treadmill/ car­diovascular health test indicates is how hard one has to work to reach that ssi maximum workload. In this way, phy­sical condition is measured.

Tricycle The second annual 9th Street 900

Tricycle Race will be held Friday, May 2 on the Auraria Mall.

The event, sponsored by Campus Recreation, involves three people per team - one rider and two pushers. Four teams will compete during each heat with the winners advancing.

The purpose of the race is twofold: to provide a fun, non-skilled event for students, faculty and staff, and to promote a campus tradition.

"The campus is sorely in need of a student tradition," Anne McKelvey­Clark, a director for Campus Recrea­tion, said. "There is no homecoming, Winter Carnival, Spring Fling or Annual Tug of War."

Tricycles are provided by Campus Recreation and are designed for an adult rider.

The races will start north of the Arts Building and will continue south down 10th Street to Colfax and back again. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team.

Entry forms are available at the Campus Recreation check-out desk, PER 108. There is no entry fee and entries will be accepted up until post time - 12 noon. D

Fitness/from 20 The pulmonary functioning part of

the test utilizes a sperometer, a machine that measures a person's capacity to inhale oxygen and muscle strength to exhale oxygen. This test can detect obstructions in pulmonary function­ing, like bronchitis.

Muscle strength is determined by how much pressure one can exert on a hand grip. Only one test is used because tests have shown that the hand grip measure is an accurate indicator of upper body strength.

Endurance is tested by repetitive, timed sit-ups and push-ups. The flexi­bility /range of motion test consists of a sit-and-reach test to measure the flexi­bility of the hamstring muscle.

"Often, people with back problems · simply have poor muscle tone, lack of flexibility, and are overweight," Nor­ton said. "This puts stress on the back, and sitting all the time tightens the hamstring muscles."

For reducing weight, Norton is not sold on "diets" as much as she is sold on exercise in moderation and sensible eating habits.

"Physically," she said, "we are not meant to diet. It is not normal to limit caloric intake. What we do recom­mend is adding positive tfllngs like exercise; then exercise becomes a motivator."

"Bad habits like overeating or smok-

ing shduld be eliminated, but exercise is central to our health. It regulates and integrates all our physiological func­tions," Norton said.

And no one, especially Norton, has anything good lo say about too much body fat.

"Too much fat puts an incredible strain on the cardiovascular system,'' Norton said.

The body composition test, in which three skin fold sites are measured, determines the percentage of body fat. 22 percent body fat is the highest per­centage recommended. Marathon run­ners and swimmers have about 5 per­cent body fat. This is not healthy, either. ·

The fact that exercise and a good diet contribute to good health is taken for granted, but Norton said many people do not realize just feeling good without the benefit of exercise does not necessarily make one free from cardiovascular risk.

Norton compared a person's health to a rubber band that, appears to be strong rmtil it's stretched to its limit and breaks.

"We never know what our limit is, it's just like the rubber bands that snap, so it's best to be in good physical con­dition. Our heart is just a muscle," Nor­ton said. "It can be strong or weak."

Norton feels one of the problems in our society is a lack of recreational activity which provides good exercise.

"Our society has put too much

"For example, boys play football in school, but they won't be playing that sport throughout their lives," she said.

someone else is very helpful in that the commitment to ·that person will of ten persuade people to keep the exercise appointment.

After all the individual test results are compiled, an exercise prescription and lifestyle counseling are provided, based on test results.

The exercise prescription consists of prescribing exercise fitted to individ­ual health needs. If a person's body fat was too high, a regular, planned exer­cise schedule is suggested.

Norton said that exercising with
