Date difficult for dapper dresser

by Christopher Dahle

I'm sorry I've been out of town and I didn't find out until Friday that Met­ropolitan State College's homecoming is this weekend.

I decided to Cl8k th€ only woman I knew whom I Wll8

sure had an appropriate dress. Well, telephone information wouldn't give me Vanna

White's number .... The short notice brings some major logistical problems to mind. I figure that since most of Metro's 300,000 alumni still live in town, getting dinner reservations at Rocky Rococo's could be a problem, but maybe I can bribe the maitre d'.

I won't have to scare up a station wagon because it'll be too cold to have a tailgate party. Besides, no one has tailgate parties at basketball games. I'll just borrow my brother's Mercedes. Since I know someone whose cousin's

bestfriend's nephew works in the athletic department, I'll probably only have to give up an arm and half a leg for those all too rare game tickets. That covers most of the problems. How­ever, the biggest problem of all still remains.

Homecomings are more or less for-

mal affairs. Coats and ties and nice dresses are called for. I can probably borrow the old man's dinner jacket and scare up a black tie somewhere. After all, men's clothes dc..n't really go out of style until they fall apart. But, it hardly seems fair for me to expect a woman to come up with the right dress

for such an important formal occasion on such short notice. I'm always so touched by the disappointment in a woman's voice when she says, "Oh, thank you so much. I'd really love to go, but I just don't have a thing to wear."

I can't bear to disappoint someone that way and so over the past weekend I pondered long and hard and after 15 minutes thought I'd hit upon a solution. I decided to ask the only woman I knew whom I was sure had an appro­priate dress.

Well , telephone information wouldn't give me Vanna White's number, so I had to go to the library. Do you know how many Whites there are in the Los Angeles phone direc­tory? I called nearly all of them before I got Vanna's answering machine.

I told her machine all about the red hot Roadrunners basketball squad, the great Red Wagon halftime parade, the fabulous post game banquet, and the spectacular dance with live music by The Mechanics. Her machine kept cut­ting me off so I had to call several times. But, I know that she'll call back ... unless Mark Gerhart called her first.

The women's team takes on Eastern Montana at 5:30 on Saturday, Jan. 31. The men follow at 7 :30. An alumni reception, lasagna dinner and dance are also pla~ned for the evening.

Reduced budget means increased tuition

Magelli . expresses concerns by Robert Davis

Metro president Paul Magelli met with the media, and later with the college faculty and staff, to discuss his plans for the future of the school, Tuesday.

Among his primary concerns are the enrollment cap and impending budget problems.

Magelli said the cap is a serious problem.

Although the restriction went into effect a year ago, college administrators buffered the impact by making simple revisions in the enrollment procedures last semester, according to Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advance­ment.

To try to curb the habit of students signing up for more classes than they could handle - only to drop courses later - the admissions and records office began charging a $10 per credit drop fee.

In an attempt to define the "serious student who will pay his tuition," the college began requiring a $50 deposit before returning students could register by phone.

Magelli told a press gathering. "They're copycat institutions." Later, while addressing the faculty

and staff, Magelli accused the competition of being "carbon copies of what we intend to do."

One way Magelli intends to fight back is to get as many headstarts as possible on institutions that he said are "grabbing up program territory."

In response to a rumor that the University of Colorado is moving its communication department to Denver, Magelli said he was expanding the Metro journalism program into a mass communications department.

"It's time we get assertive and aggressive and get out on the front of some of these issues," Magelli said. "Denver is the communication center of the Rocky Mountain empire and I think it's important to capitalize on the strength that program has enjoyed for some time."

And fighting that competition re­quired more money for programs, Magelli said. Money that Metro is currently being denied because of the cap, he said.

If we could enroll more students,

The students at this institution ca"Y the highest burden of total cost than any student at any institution in the state."

Both changes helped reduce the number of credit hours returned after registration, Gianneschi said.

But, as college administrators look to the future and plan upcoming budgets, they are seeing more restrictions and much more competition for students and a need for unlimited enrollment.

Metro president Paul Magelli fears "copycat" programs at competing institutions are imitating MSC programs and will compromise Metro's chance to grow at its current pace.

The University of Colorado at Denv~r· s expensive ad campaign promoting their new weekend program is a prime example of the competition becoming more aggressive, according to Magelli.

Instead of trying to take control of Metro, as CU has tried in the past, competing forces in higher education are trying to sell their schools in the Denver community.

"They finally decided Metropolitan State College isn't too bad of an idea and Denver isn't too bad a spot,"

President Paul Magelli

Magelli explained, we would get more revenue froqi tuition. Magelli said finding more money is top priority because of recent budget cuts.

"In two years, our base budget has been reduced by .. . almost $2 million," Magelli said. "The students at this institution carry the highest burden of total cost of any student at any institution in the state."

To recoup the money lost in the past two years, Magelli plans to take action that he said "won't win me any friends with the students."

An increase in tuition of 10 to 12 percent, Magelli said, must be implemented to raise $1.3 million.

"We're also going to have to raise student fees to recover the extra money used on athletics," he said. "Many people feel it will be a tight budget next year.''

Magelli said until education becomes a higher priority for the state, each institution must fend for itself. He said he would be talking to deans, department heads and faculty to determine priorities for spending for the next year.

"I know how to generate money," he said. "I used to be in the grocery business. It's called taking care of the customers."

In an attempt to get as many tuition dollars as possible within the legal limits of the cap, Magelli said the admissions office is taking advantage of the SA VE program.

The program allows administrators to identify students who are not seeking a degree and taking nine or fewer credit hours. Those students are affected differently by the cap but

·admissions officials refused to say exactly how it works.

Magelli - who is the only adminis­trator willing to talk about the SA VE program - said students may never know they are in the SA VE program. College officials search the records and identify the students that fit into the category, :\1agelli said.

"They don't even know who they are," Magelli said of SA VE students. "We identify who they are.''

Admissions officials refused to discuss details of how the process sidesteps the cap but insisted it is legal.

Magelli said the operation has brought pressure from his opponents and he will feel more comfortable when the SA VE program isn't being used any longer.

"I think they've cut it off," Magelli said of the SA VE operation. 'Tll be much more relaxed when they cut it off.''

One of the legislative bodies was given a college memo regarding the process, and Magelli flared at the faculty and staff for the leak.

"One of the commissions is very angry," he said. 'Tm getting damn tired of it, frankly. I have a tough enough time without this kind of thing happening. All I'm trying to do is save your damn- jobs. I'm making your case and so many people are working against me.

"If they don't like my way of doing things, they can get someone else to run this budget," he snapped. "I think it's time for all of you to work with me. There are too many powerful people working against me."

"Sorry," he said. "You just hit a bot button." O

Officials expect limits to be lifted

If legislators keep their word, the enrollment cap placed on Metro should be lifted soon, according to vice pres­ident of Institutional Advancement, Harry Gianneschi.

Legislators used the cap as leverage to encourage Metro administrators to adhere to stiffer admissions policies -quicker, Gianneschi said.

"There was a commitment made that if we did something they would do something, which is to remove the cap," he said.

The legislators want Metro to apply tougher admissions standards -higher class rank and better test scores - to 20 percent of entering students under 20 years of age.

"They said if we can stay within our 20 percent window they would remove the cap," Gianneschi said.

Metro President Paul Magelli said he expects the cap to he removed.

"They did it for Adams (State)," Magelli said. "All of our data is in order and we're well within their limits."

ca·p is legislative leverage

"There was a commit­ment made that if we did something they would do something, which is remove the cap."

- Harry Gianneschi, vice president of

Institutional Advancement

Legislators don't openly admit the cap is used as an incentive device, though. Gianneschi said they have two reasons to justify applying enrollment limits.

"First is the financial aid," Gianne­schi said.

When lawmakers look at next year's finances, the cap allows them

to forecast exactly how much money will go to higher education - inst~ad of waiting to see how many students enroll - and they can effectively budget their money, Gianneschi said.

"But look and see how many other institutions even reach their cap," Gianneschi said. "Since we can take any of their tiers above us, they (other institutions) want to keep us capped."

T

The second reason is the "student flow" theory.

Legislators say that if a student finds a closed door at Metro, he will go to an empty community college or another four-year college in the system, Gian­neschi said.

"I don't think I've ever seen anything in practice happen like that," Gianne­schi said. "Our experience indicates that the cap does not balance (the sys­tem). When we closed our doors, (last year) we told literally 100 percent of the people to go to the community col­lege. That's not across town or where you would have to move. That's right here on campus.

"Yet when I talked to the commun­ity college people later, they said only a handful showed up at their door," he said. "If the 18-year-olds don't get into Boulder, they may go to Fort Collins or Mesa. They're going to leave home anyway. A Metro student isn't choos­ing a college, they want to go to Metro. Period."

The cap must go, Gianneschi said, because it hurts what Metro was founded on - accessibility.

'"In the east, I spent my time figuring out how to sell enrollment," he said. "It's unique to spend almost as much time trying to make sure we don't over enroll."

Tom Murphy was instrumental in the victory

January 30, 1987 The Metropolitan

Roadrunners by Robert Ritter

The MSC men's basketball team recorded the biggest win of the pro­gram's history when they upset NCAA Division II top-ranked University of Alaska-Anchorage 79-77 in the Auraria gym Friday.

"It's the biggest win of my head coaching career," coach Bob Hu11 said. "Coming in, I knew it would take a fantastic performance on our part. I've been waiting for our guys to play up to their potential and we really did."

The Seawolves came into the game with an impressive 15-3 record, their only losses coming at the hands of Div­ision I powers Iowa, Michigan and Alabama-Birmingham.

But, the Roadrunners were not overly concerned with their Great Northwest Conference rival's record or their fol-

~ lowing, which included three P{Ofes-('$ , sional basketball scouts who were on ' Cl

hand to watch Anchotage's pro pros-pects, guard Jessie J acksbn and center Hansi Goad.

"Our players believed they could win the game. I was real concerned because they (UAA) had defeated a couple· of Division I schools (Texas

1 and Washington), and they were play-

ing super," Hull said. The Seawolves led the entire first

half, including a 38-33 lead at halftime. Herb Darden gave the Roadrunners

their first lead 47-46 with an offensive rebound and a lay-in with 14 minutes remaining.

The lead seesawed until the Road­runners opened their biggest lead at 75-71 off two Shefrie Staples free throws.

UAA's Jackson, the game's leading scorer with 38 points, hit a three­pointer to cut the Metro lead to 75-74.

Metro went up by three when Thomas Murphy scored on a lay-up with 33 seconds off a designed play. The lead was short-lived, however, when Jackson came back with a three­pointer to tie the game at 77.

Murphy, .who had hit 8 of 15 two­pointers and 5 of 7 three-pointers, hit his last shot of the night and the Road­~ners led by two.

with three seconds left, Jackson, who was covered by three defenders, managed to get off a 23-foot jump shot that fell short. At the buzzer, fans jammed the court to help the Road­runners celebrate the upset.

Hull said he didn't consider taking a

"Sometimes when you call time out, it gives the defense a chance to get set up. And, since the ball was in Tom's hands, I decided to let them play. I just nodded to Tom 'Go for it." He hesi­tated, dribbled to the comer and nailed it," Hull said.

Hull was generous in his praise of his team's effort.

"Rich Grosz, a 6-foot-7 center, played a super game. Every shot Gnad, a 6-foot-10 center, hit was a pro shot. Rich made him work for everything, and the way he neutralized him was a key," H~ll said. "And, Shun Tillman and Shefrie Staples made some key buckets at the end, and Kurt Robinson kept the team under control."

Grosz finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Tillman added 13 points and 11 rebounds in 18 minutes while Staples scored 10 points and grabbed 9 rebounds.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PROGRAM DESERVES A LOOK

by Lucy Stolzenburg

Did you move to Denver because of the mountains and now your only wil­derness experience is the view from the campus parking lot facing west?

January 30, 1987 The Metropolitan

Thanks to an 18-month-old Campus Recreation Program, students and faculty are discovering that outdoor adventure means more than trying to survive the trip across Speer Boule­vard to the East Classroom.

The Outdoor Adventure Program at Auraria offers instruction and leader­ship at the beginner to intermediate level in just about every sport that involves water, snow or plain old earth. Excursions in the spring schedule include one-day weekend trips involv-

ing cross-country skiing, biking, ice sailing, hiking, kayaking and a spring break journey to South Padre Island for sailboarding.

There's even a two-week trip planned for August hiking and biking the Aus­trian Alps.

The program began in 1985 as the brainchild of Campus Recreation Director Dick Feuerborn. He wanted to provide a safe means to educate students and faculty about the out­doors and keep the cost reasonable.

"We try to keep the trips afforda­ble," Feuerborn said. "If people tried to get into these activities on their own, they could go bankrupt."

An example of affordable travel with Outdoor Adventure was the Jan­uary cross-country ski trip to Yellow­stone. Eleven Auraria students and friends paid $219 each for eight days of transportation, lodging and leadership. One-day trips with transportation and equipment can range from $2 to $22.

"We can off er a better program because we're not in it for a profit," said Outdoor Coordinator Tim J orgen­sen.

Jorgensen, who is a certified National Outdoor Leadership School instructor and directed the outdoor program in Omaha, is heading the program full time this year after running it on a part time basis last year.

Though the program ·is offered to Community College of Denver, Met­ropolitan State College, and Univer­sity of Colorado at Denver, the fund­ing was provided by MSC this year. Next year, the program will be funded by combined Auraria student fees.

"Outdoor Adventure is a way for

people to get involved with their school," Jorgensen said. "The activities can increase self-esteem and that feel­ing can carry over to the school."

Jorgensen was offered a job as director of CU Boulder's outdoor pro­gram at the same time as the Auraria position. He chose Auraria because of the potential to build a strong program where people get involved for a longer period of time.

"People who go to school here live around here. CU students come and go," Jorgensen said. "We've got the opportunity to include alumni and do family outings."

The program is also open to faculty and staff interested in arranging \vil­derness seminars concentrating on stress management and communica­tion skills.

"Society is often overburdened with meetings. In the wilderness, you have to participate, even if it's only physical participation," Jorgensen said. "The wilderness experience can carry over into the workplace if it's properly reinforced."

Some equipment is available through the program and rental discounts have been arranged through Eastern Moun­tain Sports and Breeze Ski Rentals.

Participation in the program is up about 30 percent from last year and both Feuerborn and Jorgensen say the potential for growth is tremendous.

"Within a year and a half we have as big an outdoor program as any univer­sity in the state," Jorgensen said. "Right now we're as big as Boulder."

Book store director~~~~~~~~mi accepts personnel position by C. Patrick Cleary

Auraria Book Center's interim direc­tor, Jo Ann Saker, received Governor Roy Romer's appointment as execu­tive director of the Colorado Depart­ment of Personnel Jan. 27.

Saker, a41-year-old Denver lawyer, has been director of the 75-employee staff of the book center since Oct. 15, 1986.

Excited about the appointment, Sak­er said: 'Tm very interested in working with the governor.

"It's (the personnel office) a compli­cated system with lots of frustration but, I see good things happening," she said.

Romer has said the state's economy is currently in a tailspin due to federal and statewide cutbacks as well as dwindling economic opportunities.

Soker said such cutbacks can affect the morale of state employees but said, "We are not in a dire situation yet and will he prepared to deal with that if it comes about."

As personnel director, Saker will over:see 27,000 employees and will earn $65,000 a year.

Romer has also indicated he is inter­ested in shifting some of the state's offices to other parts of the state in an eftort to help local economies.

Soker, who takes office on Feb. 9,

said she likes the idea of shifting some state offices because "some functions can be done equally well in other pla­ces but (such ideas) would have to be considered on a case-by-case basis."

Romer said: "I conduct very exten­sive background checks. Jo Ann came

Jo Ann Soker

out very high as an effective manager - a person who has leadership qual­ities."

Curnow named interim director For the second time in less than

a year, Mike Curnow has been appointed interim director of the Auraria Book Center.

Curnow will replace current director, Jo Ann Saker, who was appointed executive director of the Colorado Department of Per­sonnel, Jan. 27, by Gov. Roy Romer.

Curnow was interim director before Soker took ov~r in Decem­ber, 1986.

"In the short time she was here, Jo Ann improved the relationship with the campus administration as well as furthered our cre<libil-

ity," Curnow said. Curnow also said he would

make no changes in the book­store policy until he meets with the Auraria Board of Directors and Morgan Smith, the newly appointed campus executive director.

Curnow will serve as interim director while a national search is made for a new director - usu­ally a· two to three month process.

Asked if he might be picked as the new director of the Book Center, Curnow said he did not know, but there was always hope. O

Rising texJ by Al Porter

Recent increases in book prices at the Auraria Book Center can be attrib­uted to publisher mark-ups, thefts and bad paper work, according to the cen­ter's management.

Mike Curnow, assistant manager of the book center, said the primary rea­son for increasing prices is that pub­lishing companies are beginning to predetermine textbook prices.

"Within the last six years, prices have increased nearly 150 percent~" Cur­now said. "Most of the increase.s were dictated by the publishers. ·

"In 1981, the average bill for books per semester was about $50, but today. the total can easily exceed $150, " he said. "In the past few years, prices have been leveling off."

Curnow said it's not unusual for bookstores to retain as much as 40 per­cent of the selling price of books alone.

"Those stores exist for profit. We are concerned about being fair to the stu­dents," he said.

Another factor which contributes to price increases is theft.

According to Auraria Public Safety, ten shoplifting attempts were reported by the book center between the end of the Fall semester and Jan. 23.

Jean Micheau, who is not an MSC student, called Public Safety and reported that she received a three-inch cut on her left thigh and a bruise on her shin while crossing a street on Jan. 19.

"She injured herself when she step­ped on a loose manhole cover at Tenth and Larimer," the report stated. "Denver Traffic Engineering was advised."

Lolly Ferguson, technical services manager of Public Safety, said the

cover was apparently too sinall for the manhole.

Robert O'Dell, an MSC technology and technical communications profes­sor, reported an attachment for a wood lathe and.four clamps missing from the Technology building Jan. 23.

O'Dell said the missing wood work­ing equipment, valued at $400, is cur­rently being handled as an inventory loss rather than a theft because the actual time of disappearance is unable to be pinpointed.

MSC Affirmative Action Director Percy Morehouse reported that an unknown suspect o~ suspects broke into his car in Auraria parking lot K Jan. 22.

Currency and clothing in a suit bag, a total of $704, were reported stolen.

In other reports, nine purses, back­packs and wallets were reported stolen and five reported found, and six vehi­cles were reported towed from cam­pus parking lots.

. "I was particularly thoughtful about this appointment because state employ­ees are a very valuable asset. There is no more important single factor in the success of state government programs and services than the people who run them," he said.

Published reports indicate that Saker was not one of seven finalists submit­ted by a special search committee appointed by Romer to weed out applicants.

Romer said Saker originally applied for the job of governor's lobbyist, and he singled her out for the personnel position after he rejected the commit­tee's original list.

Besides running the book center, Saker has also been director of special projects for the Auraria Higher Educa­tion Center since January 1983, over­seeing projects such as a proposed monorail that would link the Auraria campus with parking areas at Mile

mall, which will be constructed on what is now Larimer Street, Rynerson said.

According to Randy Ready, trans­portation coordinator for Auraria, the bus mall is scheduled for completion in late 1988. •

The bus mall and the reduced bus services are part of the Auraria park­way project that will close the Law­rence and Larimer street viaducts beginning in June of this year.

Ready said only two of the routes that offered full service to Auraria stu­dents, the 0 and the 15, still originate and terminate on campus.

Currently, the 1, 10, 16, and 20 routes still serve the campus, but when the viaducts close, only the 0 and 15 routes will use the bus mall.

Further, passengers on the 2, 10, 11, 14, 15 limited, 19, and 21 routes must now tranf er to the 0 or 15 at the Civic

High Stadium. She has also been on the staff of The Auraria Foundation since 1983.

Saker will no longer be tied to any of her positions at Auraria, but said, "I will remain emotionally involved."

And, of the monorail project, "I am not working on that at all," she added.

A native of New Mexico, Sokel" moved to Denver with her family when she was 12 years old. She is an East High School graduate.

Sok er received a bachelor's degree in history from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and a law degree­from Georgetown University in Wash­ington, D.C., where she was on the law journal staff.

Saker was also employed in the Colorado Attorney General's office from 1977-82 where she served as the first assistant attorney general tot• human resources, as chief of !(he edu­cation unit. o

Center. This will continue even after the parkway is completed.

The construction connecting Lari- , mer Street to the Walnut viaduct will restrict the number of buses allowed to use Auraria as a termination point, Ready said.

Major construction was to begin in December, but was delayed by Aura­ria officials and the state Highwaf ' Department, Rynerson said. The buses could have used Auraria as a termina­tion poindor a few more months, but R TD plans had been finalized before the delay was announced.

"We'd already done our work," Rynerson said. "If we had stayed,· there's no way all those buses cquld have been rerouted again."

Rynerson said RTD has received few complaints about the re-routing, but encourages anyone with complaints or suggestions to call RTD. O.,.

Book prices/ from p. 11

"Shoplifting is quite normal for this -time of year," Saker said. "And, even though we've got an effective security system, thefts do occur."

The center has what Soker calls a "multi-phase security plan." There are security cameras throughout the store, undercover patrols and people who watch the doors and check for receipts.

"We are serious about stealing." Saker said. "We do everything in our power to prosecute shoplifters and discourage that kind of behavior."

The book center reportedly has caught as many as six shoplifters a day and as few as one per week.

According to Curnow, thefts amount to more than $50,000 a year.

"Thefts not only affect book prices but also the prices of paper, pens, notebooks, folders and similar supp-

lies sold at the book center," he said. • Yet another factor in book prices is

bad paper work. Either on the part of the publishing company, the freight company or the book center staff.

This is called shrinkage. "Shrinkage means an inventory loss,"

Curnow said. "We match the numbe~ of books which are supposed to be on the shelf with the number actually there."

Much of shrinkage realized by the book center can be attributed to bad paper work, he said. IA

For instance, sales not being record ea · properly, orders being mixed up and incorrect information being fed into computers are among some of the rea­sons for shrinkage.

Currently, almost all the students attending the three colleges on thE>­Auraria campus buy their books from the book center. D

Wouldn't you like a scholarship that would cover your full tuition and required fees, plus an amount for books and sup­plies for two, or three years of college?

Better yet, what if you also received an allowance of up to $1,000 for each school year that scholarship is in effect? Good reason to consider the scholarships offered by the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program.

The complicated collegelif e

Has anyone else noticed that it's getting r~ally complicated to go to school? Take a look at some of the developments at Metro and Auraria since the fall of 1985 that make it a lot harder for Metro to be user friendly.

The Auraria trolley shuttle service. · This was originally a good idea. Students willing to deal with the inconvenience

of parking at Mile High Stadium and being shuttled to school got free parking in exchange - until Auraria discovered it wasn't cost effective. Now you have to buy a 25¢ t~cket to ride or a $4 monthly pass.

Maybe it's not too complicated, but what if the last trolley of the day is about to pull away from the trolley stop and you don't have a quarter for the ticket machine?

It could be stressful. The enrollment cap. The legislative gods decided to Jimit the number of students attending Metro.

To make more room to cram as many students into the school as possible, Metro instated the $10 per credit hour drop fee as negative reinforcement to prevent students from occupying a space in class then dropping, when another student could have been occupying that place in the first place.

Sound complicated? Listen to this. Suppose you drop two three-credit classes. When you go to register for the

next semester, your registration is encumbered because you owe $60 in drop fees By the time you make enough money to pay the fees, the cap is reached and

you are a non-student. Telephone registration and grade reports Theoretically, this a another good idea. You can call from any Touch Tone

phone in any country around the world to add or drop classes or find out your grades .

and your personal access code. Imagine this: You want to know your grades. You finally find the only Touch

Tone phone in all of Asia. The operator tells you to deposit the equivalent of $23 in coins in exchange for three minutes with the Metro computer (you can't call collect).

After you finally figure out that G is the service code for grades, you've got two minutes left. You enter your student l.D. number (remembering the# sign after each entry).

With one minute and 30 seconds left, the computer asks for your personal access code. What personal access code? The nearest MSC registration booklet is 8,000 miles away. You try numbers at random until your $23 expires.

Academic advising encumbrance. Imagine this: You finally found the only copy of an MSC registration booklet

in all of Asia. You return to the Touch Tone phone to register for next semester's classes. You deposit another $23 and you get past the personal access code part with two minutes to spare.

You struggle to control you temper as the computer tells you thaf you are not allowed to register.

You see, you are under the age of 20. That makes you a "traditional" student, and last fall , the administration decided that traditional students need academic advising before t.hey can register.

RTD. It used to be relatively easy to avoid parking hassles and take the bus to school.

With the new parkway plan, though, there are now less buses coming onto campus and many students will have to tr an sf er at the Civic Center or elsewhere.

One last scenario: You were going to drive to school today, but you didn't have quarters for the

trolley so you use your bus pass and take "The Ride." You accidentally transfer to the wrong bus at the Civic Center and end up in Broomfield.

When you finally get to school, you rea1ize that you missed your "traditional" academic advising session, so you can't telephone register until you set up and attend another advising session.

By that time, the enrollment cap is reached, and you become a non-student. It's not likely, but when things get complicated, anything is possible. D

Play finds lyrical quality

"Playboy" playful by Sean-Michael Gilmore

May St.Joseph, St. Patrick, St. Brigid and all the Irish saints give blessings on the head of that long departed lovely man, John Millington Synge, for givin_g us the great Irish classic, The Playboy of the Western World.

And isn't it a fine director I'm think­ing then, this Donovan Marley of the Denver Center Theater Company for stagin' the play in such a manner, bringing out the fine lyrical quality of · its language. .

It was not a fine following the play was receiving when it opened in Dub­lin, 1907, to fair riotous crowds at the Abbey Theatre. · It seems the lads thought the wordage not proper nor fit and the whole of the play itself disres­pectful of Irish womanhood.

But since those dark and unenlight­ened ages the play has justly received the attention it deserves as a master­piece for combining the rich storytell-

- ing tradition of the Irish countryside with the irony of the Irish situation.

Didn't the great man himself, Wil­liam Butler Yeats, call Synge the "poet dramatist of the Irish cause"? ·

Unlike that tired joke, it wasn't the whiskey God was giving the Irish so they wouldn't rule the world--it was themselves He was thinking of. For if

the villagers of the play, in their desire for a hero, create the "playboy of the western world" out of a shy potato digging poet, and see fancy turn to fact, and then cast him down and lose him forever , then they have no one to blame but themselves.

Surely this constant Irish curse trans­lates well to the universal human con­dition.

And it's a fine lot of players Marley has gathered for the acting.

This James J. Lawless as Michael James Flaherty, the pub owner, is a veritable epitome of the redfaced Irish publican. Caitlin O'Connell, who plays the daughter, Margaret Flaherty (called Pegeen Mike), shows her skills with another fine performance (and a fine figure of a colleen she is too and me a strapping lad and play reviewer of Irish distraction never getting a word.)

T'is a pity it is, too. But it's Jamie Horton as the comic

protagonist, Cristy Mahon, suspected father muderer and "potato digging poet" who really shines like the Irish moon on the sands. As he Ghanges from shy and sly liar to hero of the "sports", and becomes the playboy of that wild western region of Ireland, we see the range of his acting ability.

Now I'm not to be saying the play doesn't have a fault or two. Marley, me

Jamie Horton and Caitlin O'Connell

fine fellow, has made a common mis­take of the directing. He has confused activity with acting (in the matter of the village girls) with the over abun­dance of one not making up for the lack of the other. While the girls go scrambling, ·screaming and shouting about the pub, they're disturbing more than Christyman. They're scaring the hay-

jaysus out of me as well as distracting · the audience from the grand dialogue.

But it's only a minor matter, I'm thinking.

Ex-Debator la:uds opportunity to confront the Irish

by Rose Duhaime

The Irish Debate Series has proven to be entertaining as well as informa­tional said MSC senior Joy Goldbaum, who has watched the debate several times and finally, last year, auditioned.

''I've watched the Metro team and I've thought, 'Gee, I'd like to be up there,'" she said, adding that she always wanted to audition, but she would chicken out at the last minute. But last year she did audition and made the team.

"When I made the team, I just about died. It's hard for me to speak up in class. I'm kind of a shy person," she said.

Last year, the debate was on gov­ernmental control of the media in reporting on terrorist activities. Gold­baum said the style of the Irish debat­ers is different, and it isn't anything like the American style.

Even their training is different. "They actually go to the pubs and

they sit and debate," she said. The Irish debaters are good, Gold­

baum said. "They have that ability to talk about

something they don't even know about.

They are either incredibly good bull­shitters, or they are really bright," she said.

The Metro Debaters are very com­petent, she added.

"They get up there and make some real valid points and then the Irish get up there and they make you laugh," she said.

Trying out for the Debate is differ­ent than a class, she said. " 'Cause you know it's leading up to this .. . your five minutes of fame."

It was the debate that made her start thinking about law school. After the

·debate, people told Goldbaum she would be a good lawyer.

"I thought, naw," she said. Goldbaum says she now hopes to go

to law school after graduating in May.

The Irish Debate isn't judged, and there isn't a winner or loser.

"It's more for the audience to come and enjoy," Goldbaum said.

Metro does well in the debate, she said, but they approach it differently. They research, and they go at it from an informational point of view.

"Whereas, the Irish," she said, "their presence, their eloquence, just sort of seduces you. It's like it doesn't even matter if they totally contradict them­selves, because you're sucked in by their rhetoric."

The Irish Debate Series was started in 1980 by MSC Professor Gary H. Holbrook from the Speech Communi­cations Department. The 27-year-old Irish Times Competition then gained a prestigious prize for the best team and the best individual.

The victorious debaters are now treated to a three-week tour of Ameri-

This year's debate will be on St. Patrick's Day and will debate the fol­lowing proposition: This house sup­ports the motion that the powers of the" presidency should be significantly cur­tailed. To give the Irish winners a taste of

the West, they will also appear at the University of Southern- Colorado, Adams State, Colorado State Univer­sity and the University of Wyoming.

Any full time Metro student is eligi­ble for tryouts.

Holbrook said there will be an informational meeting Feb. 4, at 3:30 p.m. in room 273 Art's building.

We're The Metropolitan, MSC's student newspaper. And more, because we report on the entire Auraria campus as well. We keep you up-to-date on important deadlines and events, we entertain and inspire - and we even have coupons from local merchants!

Get to know us! Our publication comes out on Fridays in newspaper racks all over Auraria, and even a few locations off campus.

Help us get to know you better, too - write us about your thoughts and ideas, needs and wishes. This could be the start of great relationship!
