Moving toward futuristic goals requires a

sound base

To Metro adm inistra­tors, success means athletics. Bridging the gap between the col­lege and the city with intercollegiate sports is natural.

by Bob Haas

Defining Metropolitan State Col­lege, what it is and who it serves, is like projecting the career of a promis­ing college graduate - when you're free, strong and 21, the world awaits.

Metro may not be fully free, con­stricted by a legislatively imposed enrollment cap as well as newly established admission standards; its strength may be variously interpreted (and may incite arguments of defini­tion), but the college is 21-years old, and like a proverbial new adult is posed to knock at (and knock down) doors of opportunity.

"I have the best job of any of my colleagues in the country," says Harry Gianneschi, Metro's vice-president for institutional advancement. "Metro has (comparatively) no history, no tradition to follow. We have a blank check (as far as promoting the col­lege.} Not with money, but with opportunity."

Gianneschi's excitement over Met­ro's potential is echoed by his boss, President Paul Magelli.

"Metro is on the edge, not only of a growing city, but of great opportun­ity," Magelli says. 'Tm here to help Metro be all it can be."

Magelli boasts a legal pad flowing with ideas, programs and goals for the collge, ranging from a center for Hispanic studies and culture to a ten­ative plan for increased talent, time and faculty sharing between Metro and the Denver Center for the Per­forming Arts.

That complex is literally right across the street, Magelli says. "It can and should be part of our campus."

Cooperation between the city and the college is crucial, according to Gianneschi.

"It's the model with all succesful colleges," he says. "If you're going to

.

be a great city you've got to have a great city college. We11 be providing the employees, the training. We've shown Denver that we'll help them, we're not an ivory tower. Now it's time for the city to support us."

Support from the city will come with higher visibility and a positive, succesful image for the college, Gianneschi says.

"Very seldom do people give to need," he says. "They donate to success."

Gianneschi says that support­building and fundraising is also easier when you can "get the community to come onto campus.

"There is a natural barrier (between academia and the commun­ity)," Gianneschi says. Part of his job of promoting the college is to develop concepts and programs which will make people "feel wel­come to step on to the campus."

Higher visibility. Positive image of success. Programs to intice outside visitors. What does that spell?

Athletics, according to Gianneschi.

"Fund raising for academics, for the college as a whole, is easier when you have athletics," Gianneschi says.

"Gee Wally. Not athletics again."

Yep, athletics because it's the first step toward success, according to Magelli.

He says athletics deserves "a chance to succeed" because it's important to this college. In a report Magelli distributed last month, he cites the following summary of the value of an athletic program:

Athletics as education can be understood as a set of key contributions to the individ-

"Competition for media coverage is intense. It is less intense for athletics. Every newspaper has a sports section. We want our name in the paper. We can get our athletics team in the sports section."

-Harry Gianneschi VP, Institutional Advancement

ual, to the institution, and to society at large. Among these contributions are the devel­opment of discipline, team­work, and the self­confidence of individuals who participate in athletics; the improvement and suste­nance of institutional reputa­tions and morale, and the heightening of visibility that demonstrably aids in the recruitment of students and financial contributions.

Athletics in general and basketball in particular has had a bumpy history at Metro. The college began intercol­legiate athletic competition in 1968, three years after it opened to its first class of students. Ten years later, in 1978, Metro discontinued basketball. Basketball was reinstated in 1984 under president Fontera. When Magelli arrived in January, 1985, the athletic program carried a projected operating deficit of $75,000 for 1985-86.

The program had to be managed,

or droppf'd, Magelli says. "] couldn't drop the program,

given its start, stop, start history," Magelli says. "I knew very little about Metro when I came, but I knew where to ask questions. I told Tim Green (budget officer) to find the money for basketball."

Magelli appointed a commission and hired a consultant to study Inter­collegiate Athletics at Metro. He met with the executive committee of the trustees (Metro's governing board) and told them there was a budget problem with athletics.

The board consequently informed Magelli that they would support athletics under the following condi­tions: That the college reduce its number of teams from 18 to 11 (the sports eliminated are mens and womens indoor track and cross­country and mens gymnastics), that it phase out the use of state general funds to support the program (this is being initiated and will result in a $5 increase in student fees next year for

athletics), and that the students show support for intercollegiate athletics.

The extent of student support is, perhaps, the most debateable.

The evidence of student support given to the board of trustees (and accepted by the board members) was the student fee increase referen­dum results .

The referendum to increase stu­dent fees by $12.50 (to support a var­iety fo fee-funded activities) passed by a vote of 519 to 363.

Students were also given the

opportunity to support each individ­ual fee-funded program. Support for athletics as an individual program was lowest, second only to the flight team.

Gianneschi sees the $12.50 increase vote as a straw poll of support for athletics. And, a few weeks ago, Magelli agreed. When asked by the trustees why he wanted athletics, Magelli said that he told them, "I don't want athletics, the students do."

But last week he said, "The refer­endum was not an indicator of sup­port, but indicates they (the students)

were not against it." Whatever the feedback from the

college community, both Magelli and Gianneschi are committed to giving athletics a fair shot.

"This program will be reviewed in three years to see what kind of com­munity and student support it has," Magelli says.

Gianneschi gives it five years and lists the following criteria for success:

•Support by students with attend­ance and attitude

• A self-supporting program funded by donations, student fees

and self-generated revenue • Support from outside community

(Otherwise, says Gianneschi, it hasn't become a viable program)

If there is so much trouble jump­starting Metro's athletic program, why not seek prestige and image elsewhere. A college symphony, per­haps, or theater company?

"It's a matter of chronology," Gianneschi says. "The arts can be a big draw as well, and they will come later. Athletics was already set up."

It gets back to the publicity tool concept.

"Competition for media coverage is intense," Gianneschi says. "It is less intense for athletics. Every news­paper has a sports section. We want our name in the paper. We can get our athletics team in the sports section."

And, unlike the arts, athletics has an element of pride, "it builds school spirit."

There is a downside to intercolle­giate athletics at Metro. Also included in the president's report on the status of athletics is the following:

The research study (com­piled by a Metro marketing class) further indicated that older students show lower levels of support for and of lending importance to the athletic program. This is relevant given the trend in

"The referendum was not an indicator of support, but indi­cates (the students) were not against( athletics)."

-Paul Magelli

the decrease of MSC' s mean student age over the years. Thus, as the mean age decreases, one could assume student support should increase . And also:

The student referendum held less than five months later is the most recent if not the best indication of student support. Given an opportun­ity to vote for discontinuation of the MSC athletic program, students chose not to do so.

This is something of a rhetorical twist, defining support by lack of its antecedent. However, both excerpts speak to a concern that some have with Metro's emphasis on Intercolle­giate Athletics - what will happen to the school's non-tradtional students, what will happen to the Metro that's been preserved over the years as a distinctive institution.

"There is a generalized consensus that educational excellence can't be separated between traditional and non-traditional," Gianneschi says . The non-traditional focus is "a mythic thing about Metro. The early writings (regarding Metro's role and mission) said Metro was to be urban, not non-traditional.

"We still have the non-traditionals," Gianneschi says. "Metro is evolving as an excellent quality institution and is becoming attractive to many students." . D

The Sound of Sensuality

Children of a Lesser God a silent. triumph

by Bob Haas

Children of a Lesser God explores, in a personal relationship, the difference between understanding and acceptance by discovering the difference between sound and silence.

The film is a moving exploration of the intricate dynamics within personal relationships. It is a wonderful love story. It is a testament to the power of cinema art.

The story is simple, and can be enjoyed on this level alone. William Hurt plays James Leeds, a teacher of hearing impaired children. He is a young innovative maverick who comes to a conservatively. run school for the deaf whose director tells him that "Nobody's trying to change the world around here - just help a few deaf kids."

Leeds meets Sarah Norman, once the school's most brilliant student, who, after graduating, remained at the school and is employed as its janitor. She was born totally deaf, and hasn't uttered a sound since she was five.

Leeds' attraction to her begins as a

Newman and Cruise: hustle audience and each other

by Bob Haas

Paul Newman's new film, The Color of Money is about people, pool players and the green stuff, and it bears little resemblance to the 1961 classic The Hustler .

Nor does it mean to. The similarity between this film starring Newman and Tom Cruise and its predecessor starring Newman and Jackie Gleason is Newman, and the character he

plays in both - "Fast" Eddie Felson. This time Newman is the teacher and Cruise is the protege.

Quickly, the story - Eddie sees in Vincent Lauria something of himself as a young man - watching the kid play is "like watching home movies." Lauria needs no tutelege in the art of shooting pool, he's a natural. He's got that more important ingredient of being a character, which Fast Eddie describes as being a flake. What Lauria doesn't have, and what Eddie can teach him, is the understanding that being an expert at pool means "becoming a student of human moves."

So Eddie takes Vincent and his girl­friend Carmen (played by ·Mary Eli­zabeth Mastrantonio) on the road, on a six week preparation for a big tourna­ment in Atlantic City. But Vincent can't be beaten, and what Eddie must teach him is that the trip is not about sex, booze or pool, but about money.

•

Newman, Cruise, and .-, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

Cruise is energetic as the young pool wizard. He is charming and cocky and full of himself. He plays pool because it comes easy for him, and the film turns a bit dark when Eddie succeeds '! in tarnishing the young man's purity for the sake of the pool hustle. Vincent learns how to ruthlessly win if he needs to, and learns how to throw a game for the sake of a bigger pay-off later on.

Eddie is a businessman, and looks at pool from that perspective.

Eddie gets sti.mg at the pool tournament by his ultimate success with his student, and the film tells us something of good and evil and corruption and finding integrity while finding oneself. •

It's a pretty good flick, and if it lacks something in real depth, it comes close to making it up in technical proficiency. Director Martin Scorsese has obviously aimed a camera before. Newman and Crusie are professional. The film is tight, it works.

The Color of Money never goes far enough to create its own soul. The questions are obvious, the answers too easy. It's worth seeing, for the chemistry between Newman and Cruise, and for the tension Scorsese suggests with his .camerawork on the pool table.

Its not likely to stick with you, nor to greatly impact your life. D

Robert Davis Editor

I shared some Rocky Rococo with a friend the other day during a break from the office grind.

Unfortunately, the discussion lead back to the topic of the student newspaper. Being a friend, Ben (we'll call him), told me people think I have a vendetta against Metro president Paul Magelli and his ideas.

A light came on - more like a phaser blast - and I wondered why

' • I hadn't thought of that before. My comments have been very one­

sided and guided by tunnel walls. For some reason I've only talked about one aspect of this whole "New Age - Athletics" thing.

Please allow me to share a more balanced view of this.

Some History

A few years ago, Metro president Richard Fontera dreamed of college basketball played in downtown Denver. People were happy and proud to work with Fontera and his dream of basketball but they were soon shocked when he died of cancer. Many in the college commun­ity held basketball close to their hearts because it was symbolic of their late president.

Enter Paul Magelli. When Magelli arrived - eight

months after F ontera died - the basketball program was already established. In the same issue of The Metropolitan that announced Magel­li's arrival, Ambrose Slaughter and Kevin Trujillo were introduced as basketball scholarship winners who both proved to be hot players for the Roadrunners.

Facing a unique college setting - a shared-urban campus and politically powerful regents trying to gobble up Metro - Magelli perceived one of the most critical problems was a lack of publicity for the school.

He said people didn't recognize Metro as a household word and looked at it as the "K-Mart of higher education."

Perfect! Those versed in higher education

(at least the people I've talked with) say athletics does several things for a college: pulls in the alumni, increases school spirit and promotes the institu­tion in the community - not to men­tion brings in lots of money.

My friend, Ben, says athletics is viewed as the most cost-efficient way to quickly publicize a school in the community.

So Magelli's problem was already on the way to being solved.

The wishes of the late Fontera would serve to make a name for the institution. Perfect. ·

Almost perfect. Many of the old die-hards in the

faculty have committed themselves to Metro over other institutions in the state (with higher pay and better names), because of the types. of stu-dents here. ·

The serious, older student, they say, makes the educational experi­ence at Metro more challenging. Much of the faculty have put up with crummy salaries and administrative instability (when Magelli arrived be was the fifth president in eight years)

. because they're committed to the

<>ctober Io, 1986 The Metropotuan

A unique college is changing Editor offers dialogue, not diatribe

idea of a diverse urban college that meets the needs of the community.

When Metro was started, there were restrictions against varsity athletics. Those provisions were soon changed to allow competition, but some die-hards fear a natural evolu­tion may occur that will lead to a tra­ditional college.

Enter the University of Houston. In that introductory article in The

Metropolitan, Magelli likened Metro to the University of Houston.

U of H began much the same way Metro did. The urban school near downtown Houston catered to the non-traditonal (older) students. The school soon began paying more attention to younger students' needs and developed a good football team. Now the school is very much a tradi­tional school that happens to be in an urban setting.

Make no mistake, it's a very suc­cesful school.

And isn't that what it's all about? Making it big. Being a household name and providing for the community.

But that's the issue, right there -"providing for the community." What is a school to provide? Who decides?

Everyone seems to have their own idea of who decides. Certainly legis­lators, trustees, the president and the college community all are involved in the process.

But when Metro stands as a bold and unique institution, why go generic?

The best defense against the Regents' attempts at taking over Metro has been that this school serves a different group than CU. Why throw away a bona fide identity because .. that's the way you build a school?"

Vendetta or Crusade?

My crusade has been one of asking

who's making these decisions? Why? How? I wonder how much thought is being given to the natural evolution of a school (U of H) verses remaining a unique, urban institution?

It was easy - if not inevitable -for Magelli to keep Fontera's dream alive and benefit from it. What happens now?

Athletics is relatively easy and does a lot for the college. The idea of put­ting the program under Institutional Advancement (PR, alumni, promo­tion and fundraising) is bold and demonstrates the administration's progressive attitude that athletics is promotional.

It would be easy - if not inevita­ble - for athletics to become more important than it is meant to be. What about the non-traditional stu­dents who choose Metro for conveni­ent, inexpensive, in-and-out education?

Should they pay for something they don't want and don't intend to use? Shouldn't they get something too?

Ben thinks about 40-percent of the students might (eventually) get involved in campus happenings. The rest, he says, will never want to -they're here for something else.

Dr. Magelli says he's going to pro­tect the rights of the non-traditional students. Why not invest in some­thing the in-and-outs can benefit from?

The Problem

It seems the common problem i$ identifying who's out there. We know what businesses and households think about Metro but we have only skimpy indicators of what WE think.

I've conducted several re'4rlership surveys and PR and marketfug classes keep a few reports trickling in, but bow representative are these?

The interpretations of the student

referendum last year proved to be an example of how differently we can interpret numbers.

During the pre-vote hype, athletics officials made a point to say - in every interview - that a vote to increase student fees was not a vote for or against athletics. They main­tained that athletics is merely one of 16 student fee-funded programs and the increase was for the good of all programs.

Now, after the increase passed and athletics fa red comparatively poorly in the show of student support for individual programs, Dr. Magelli and other athletic enthusiasts claim the vote to increase fees shows student support for athletics.

Gee. That's funny. My intention here is not to debate

how certain reports or figures should be viewed, but to point out a com­mon problem:

The decision-µiakers (administra­tors, directors, legislators, etc.) aren't sure who's out there and what they want. ·

Alone, that says something about who WE (as a college community) are and how interested WE are in what's going on here. So many stu­dents have children, jobs and busy lives waiting for them when they get out of class. That's what made this college what it is.

That does not mean it bas to stay this way - nor that it should change - it's just a fact.

My .. vendetta" is simply a cam­paign to have those decisions be active and thoughtful and in the best interest of the school and the people wlio will someday want to go to Metro.

If you're still with me, ~hank you. Consider sharing your thoughts with us.

Athletes .protest lack of Sports Section in Met

In the constant search for a more readable product, The M etropoli­tan staff elected at the beginning of this semester to eliminate formal sections in the newspaper - the thought being that our stories would appear within a complete journal of interest and entertainment. In this way, we could put our best foot forward, and run a film review on page three or a basketball story on page one, depending upon the merits of the writing and the importance of the news. Some have interpreted this policy as one of discrimination, and on 18 September we were told that all MSC athletes would ·write a letter protesting our lack of a sports section. To date that protest consists of the following two letters. Though our policy is that we don't publish unsigned letters, in this case we made an exception.

Editor, In recent years, support from your paper for Intercollegiate Athletics has

always been strong. Last year, Scott Moore, very aggressively kept the campus community very up-to-date with what was happening in all sports.

Since Intercollegiate Athletics definitely draws attention to schools, doesn't it make sense that the school paper should cover sports. The students at Metro voted to pass the addendum (sic) to raise student fees which in return supports athletics, this seems to relay a message that athletics are important to our campus.

The athletic events this year are drawing more fans than they ever have and at this time all programs have winning records. Doesn't it make sense that The Metropolitan should cover these events?

I'm not saying that we want a dozen pages reserved for the athletic events but it would be nice if we could make the campus community aware of our accomp­lishments - competing against nationally ranked teams.

Articles referring to the housing and abuse of pJlivileges does111ot show support for programs which are adamently trying to gain recognition for the school. The athletes at Metro are playing purely for the joy of the sport and the joy that comes from representing Metropolitan State College in national competition. From my past experience, it is the responsibility of the college newspaper to educate the community on what is happening with all events and programs on campus, not just the events which the editor feels are useful. It shouldn't matter if the editor doesn't like a program we represent the school, why can't we get recognition?

Editor,

Kari Braun MSC Womens Soccer Player

What's this, The Metropolitan without a sports page? That's like Denver without the Broncos. Who ever heard of a newspaper without a sports page? With the athletic program growing the way it is now it would be a shame not to recognize and acknowledge each team.

This is not The Metropolitan we've become accustomed to for so long. The "old" Metropolitan was a well rounded newspaper with something for everyone. The newer, unprofessional Metropolitan is only good for the Rococo Pizza coupons.

Does The Metropolitan have a bias against sports? Why cut the sports page and not feature page or something else? The paper has obviously been misman- · aged. Why doesn't your manager get on the stick and hire a sports editor!

Bring back The old Metropolitan. MSC Sports fan

down one of our military transports.

But Washington says the plane wasn't listed with the government.

I usually don't admit to watching Miami Vice (it's like copping to being a yuppie) but one of these governments must have also been watching last Friday.

The show centered all the pastel-Gucci action around

getting a video-tape - show­ing U.S. soldiers killing Nica­raguan villagers - back to the media in the U.S. In between car races and small arms gun­fire on the streets of Miami, we viewers tried to learn who really wanted that tape.

Toward the end we find it's not the Feds who assassinate a Miami T.V. newsperson to answer the truth, but an entre­preneur "General" (G. Gordon Liddy) in a supply and demand business.

Sound familiar? But that's just a T.V. show,

right? -RMD

Former a irmative action • irec-

tor takes action against MSC

by Lucy Stolzenburg

MSC' s former affirmative action dir­ector has filed a $1 million discri­mination suit in Federal District Court against MSC and President Paul Magelli.

Bill Moumd, affirmative action dir­ector from 1975 to 1985, claims in the suit that Magelli fired him in the sum­mer of 1985 in retaliation for Moland's opposition, as a black man, to racial and sexual discriminatory practices and proceedings at Metro.

"The institution would like to say I was fired because I wasn't doing my job." Moland said. "But I was never given a written evaluation. Never."

In March 1985, Magelli relieved Moland of 'his duties as affirmative action director and transferred him to the athletic department.

"I was never told I was fired," Moland said. "He (Magelli) indicated I was transferred. I was under the impres­sion all along I was going to be retained.

According to the lawsuit, Moland claims Magelli told him he was trans­ferred because of strong pressure from opponents of affirmative action within the faculty senate, college administra­tion and the trustees.

Moland also stated Magelli was retal­iating for Moland referring discri­mination complaints to outside govern­ment agencies.

Moland said he was only trying to do his job. He encouraged employees who had legitimate complaints against the school to pursue their grievances with the proper federal agencies.

His efforts, he said, proved to be his own ticket out the door.

"I ran info a great deal of resistance within the instituion," he said. "Col­leges have operated for years on the buddy system. They can select who they want to work with."

Moland had been removed from his position previously in 1982 by acting president Curtis Wright in what Moland believes was "a naked retal­iation for his (Moland's)" activities against racism."

Subsequently, Moland filed a discri­mination charge with the Equal Oppor­tunity Employment Commission.

A settlement was reached in that dispute. Moland could retain his job as long as he was satisfied with an affirm­ative action plan under revision and the president was satisfied with Moland's job performance.

Moland said he understood he would be retained at the school in another department if he was removed from his position as affirmative action direc­tor.

But in June 1985, in spite of an excellent evaluation from the athletic department, Magelli fired Moland.

Through an appeal by Moland's state representative , Wilma Webb, Magelli reinstated Moland in July and indicated Moland would retained by the athletic department.

"He told me not to worry about funding for the job," Moland said.

But in August, Magelli sent Moland a letter stating he would not be rehired by the college.

Asked if he thought he was fired because of his color, Moland said:

"I think that had something to do with it. My age did too. I'm 55. I'm the first to go out the door under these circumstances and this kind of cloud."

President Magelli has declined to comment on the suit, citing legal rea­sons.

"We're gagged." Magelli said. "We're under a court order not to talk."

Traffic re-routed soon

by Anne Bentzlln-Smith

The days of Auraria students darting across Lawrence Street as four lanes of fast and furious traffic race toward downtown Denver are numbered.

Future closing of the deteriorating Larimer and Lawrence street viaducts, and a number of other streets that dis­sect Auraria, will end these dangerous practices.

According to Jerry Wartgow, execu­tive director of AHEC, the Larimer Street Viaduct will be closed to traffic in about two months. The completed Walnut Viaduct will be used by drivers leaving downtown Denver.

A detour to Interstate 25 will divert traffic north on 8th Street at Larimer and connect at the new Walnut Via­duct until the parkway project is com­pleted, Wartgow said.

The changes are part of a master plan that Wartgow has been working on for eight years.

"The project goes back to when the campus opened," Wartgow said. "When everyone arrived on campus, it became apparent that with streets dis­secting the campus, it was not only dangerous for people's personal safety, but it was disruptive with trucks and traffic going past the facilities.

"We began to think, or at least I did, that there must be a way to get traffic out of the center of the campus."

As the master plan unfolded, of the streets that dissected th8c~ were closed, including Curtis, Cl and the 9th Street Historic Park.

According to Wartgow, future: include closing 9th Street betwee imer and Lawrence and 8th between Colfax and W azee" s· The Lawrence and Larimer stre1 ducts will be dismantled and the! that presently run through the c~ will be closed.

Opinions requested

by Lisa Ar11dt

A public forum will be held Oct. 15 to allow Auraria students, faculty and staff to express their opinions about the planned expansion of the Physical Education building.

The meeting, sponsored by the Stu­dent Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) and MSC stu­dent government, will take place in room 330 of the Student Center from noon until 3 p.m., and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to accomodate day and night students.

According to Gil Perea, chair of SACAB, the committee is seeking as many opinions as possible in order to form their own opinion, representative of all three schools, to present to the Auraria Board of Directors.

CURRENT CONSTRUCTION

•••• FUTURE CONSTRUCTION ,-·----------• '

Denver from Interstate 25. Inbound traffic will travel across

Market Street to 14th and outbound traffic will use Blake Street. Seventh Street will remain a two-way street, with access to campus parking.

While 575 parking spaces will be lost to the construction, W artgow said that nearly as many will be created when the streets intersecting the campus and viaducts are closed.

The planning necessary to satisfy all those concerned with the changes has been incredible, according to Wart­gow and JoAnn Soker, an AHEC attorney also involved in the project.

Everything from how the new parkway will impact historical build­ings to traffic patterns and the Tivoli had to be considered, Soker said.

"Everyone has parochial interests," Saker said. "Not everyone got what they wanted."

Compromising was an inherent part

of the project, Soker said. Working on a public project of this magnjtude and sensitivity has taken a long time because it involves so many people and so much money.

Total cost of the parkway and related construction is $6.5 million. AHEC is responsible for $2.5 million, as is the City and County of Denver. The Colo­rado Department of Highways is responsible for the remaining $1.5 million.

Construction of the parkway and closing of the viaducts is scheduled to be completed by January 1988, Wart­gow said. The .Larimer Street transit mall apd landscape work is scheduled to be completed in 1989. D

Perea said issues surrounding the building expansion include whether a

Being -good is good business . by Gail Rgnonti

A new business organization on cam­pus has been created to honor ethical business men and women and host speakers on the 15th of every month.

ABE, the Association for Business Excellence, founded by business pro­fessor Pat Stark last spring, holds the philosophy that business success is more than just a degree. In accordance with this, the group covers a broad range of topics, including minor problems such as how to tie a tie .

According to Stark, ABE is commit­ted to honoring business leaders who show the good in business.

This month, David Strunk, of the Bureau of Land Management, will speak on "Doing what is right, or doing the right thing."

ABE is presently in the process of nominating a Colorado business man or woman with the Honest ABE award, which will be presented this spring at the Business Hall of Fame awards presentation, Stark said.

"ABE plans to make this presenta­tion an annual event because "business lacks legitimacy in the eyes of the pub­lic," she said. D

October 1 o, 1986 The Metropolitan

Perea still seeks public

by Lisa Arndt

A dispute in which a student politi­cian claims the MSC student body president and a senator wronged him will probably be settled privately, though the politician still seeks a public apology.

Gil Perea, chair of the Student Advi­sory Committee to the Auraria Board, (SACAB) previously claimed that Mark Gerhart, president of Associated Stu­dents of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC) and Mike Majeres, an AS MSC senator, defamed his charac-

ter with statements made during an interview with The Metropolitan.

Gerhart and Majeres said Perea didn't accurately represent student opinions and that they intended to replace him on SACAB.

Perea subsequently requested a meeting with Percy Morehouse, Affir. mative Action director; Antonio Esqui­bel, vice president of student affairs; Roberta Smilnak, associate vice presi­dent of student affairs; and Gerhart and Majeres.

Everyone at the Oct. 7 meeting agreed that discrepancies between the ASMSC constitution and the SACAB bylaws, whether appointments made by ASMSC during the summer are

permanent or temporary, and credit hour requirements of senators and SACAB members contributed to the problem.

"This meeting was excellent in find­ing holes between ASMSC and SACAB," Gerhart said after the meet· ing. "(The problems) may not have been presented in the most healthy light in the beginning, but I think we are going to resolve those things."

Perea agreed. "We have come to several under­

standings," he said. "I admire Mark for that. It definitely changed my opinion of his character."

But Perea said he is insistent on a public apology because of the duress

apology he experienced.

"It was totally unnecessary, extreme- _ ly mindboggling and it's definitely put me under pressure that I really didn't need," Perea said during the meeting.

"I want a public apology. Not only verbal, but written as well. I won't budge on this one. Absolutely not."

Neither Gerhart nor Majeres seemed anxious to offer an apology.

"I would be hesitant to offer an apology," Majeres said. Gerhart refused to comment on the subject.

Morehouse suggested the three politicians continue to work together, then send a memorandum of under­standing to Morehouse, Esquibel and Smilnak by Oct. 17. o

Lawsuit/ trom p. 10

Defense attorneys have declined to discuss the case, claiming ethical and timely considerations.

"It might be premature to talk about the case now," said defense attorney Marlene Gresh. "The case is so much in its infancy; it's barely gotten rolling."

No trial date has been set. The defense has recently moved to

dismiss a portion of the suit, citing recent court rulings that would con­solidate some of Moland's claims and move the case through court more quickly.

Moland has been unemployed since his firing.

He said his unemployment benefits

The expansion, which is estimated to cost $3. l million, could raise the cost of attending Metro a maximum of $35 per semester.

"We're looking at a potential tuition increase of $10, along with MSC raising student fees $5 to $2.5," he said. "But that, too, is only estimated."

Perea said that if the Colorado Com­mission on Higher Education approves the expansion by the end of this semes­ter, students will vote on the building expansion in the spring elections.

If students indicate that they support the expansion, construction will begin in the summer of 1987. o

• • • Wood to make changes

by Keith Levlse

Joy Wood, Republican challenger in the race for the 1st Congressional District, is waging what she calls a Pro­Denver Campaign.

She's for lower taxes, more jobs, and no more Pat Schroeder.

"Somewhere along the line," Wood says, "Mrs. Schroeder will be defeated, or vacate the seat. It would certainly be nice if it was now instead of later."

Wood, a Denver-born educator and homemaker, admits that "Schroeder does have herself well entrenched." Wood ascribes that, in part, to the local media.

" "The Post," she says, "declared Schroeder the winner back in June."

Wood feels the media has down­played the importance of examining issues and considering alternatives. "Irresponsible" and "Un-American" is how she describes media coverage of the campaign.

doesn't bring business or business leadership. Who would want to come to a city where that's the kind of a person they elect as their represen­tative?"

DEFECTION IN THE RANKS - Wood believes Schroeder is losing support in Denver's minority com­munity, especially among businessmen "who appreciate con:;ervative business principles." She believes President Reagan's efforts to de-tax and de­regulate business are "drawing His­panics to the Republican party because people see that President Reagan's pol­icies are good for business." And more business, according to Wood, creates "better opportunities" for all.

These opportunities, she says, do not come through tax supported assistance programs.

"The old line, just keep the poor on the dole-people are realizing that's not opportunity. It may help a few that can't help themselves, but basically it keeps people down and prevents them from becoming what they really could be.''

"I was very interested,'' she says, "the day Daniel Ortega was here from Nicaragua, and after the meeting, Mayor Pena said he told Mr. Ortega, what you need in Nicaragua is a free press. What I wanted to tell Mr. Pena was, what we need in Denver is a free press. It seems that if I don't actually blast her (Schroeder) then it's not an

Rather than sending a lot of tax money to Washington, Wood says, "let's lower the taxes and let local peo­ple take care of local problems.''

BLASTING AWAY Wood accuses Schroeder of having

"a very liberal agenda." According to

that's just the way it is." . Wood claims Schroeder is· anti­

business. "She's for higher taxes," says Wood,

"Mayor Pena said he told Mr. Ortega, what you need in Nicaragua is a free press. What I wanted to tell Mr. Pena was, what we need in Denver is a free press. "

Wood, "Schroeder is working with a group of people from the east, and they have a liberal agenda they want to bring across this country for their own purposes. And if Denver happens to fit into it, fine, and if Denver doesn't,

try, we could practically do away with the federal government."

AN IMAGE PROBLEM

Jobs for Denver is one of Wood's strongest themes. She believes Denver is an attractive site for business but could be more attractive.She says Denver has "an image problem" which discourages economic growth.

"We do not have a good image in many places in the country because of the things Schroeder does," Wood says.

"Whether it be political issues or just the silly things she does. She was on the Phil Donahue Show and said 'You know Phil, Denver's just a big Rambo city.' Now that doesn't bring tourists, it

STUBBORN LOYAL TY Wood feels she has a fair chance of

winning, even though Democrats out­number Republicans 2-1 in Denver. The key to victory, she believes, is in getting voters to consider issues, rather than party affiliation.

"Denver is very unusual," she says. "The voters are very free thinking, but Schroede.r does not win on the issues perse. I'd say she wins on loyal Demo­cratic voting blocks, and even when they don't agree with her on the issues, they're still loyal. I've always admired loyalty, I think it's a good trait, but I feel that the city of Denver, as a voting block, is more conservative than Mrs. Schroeder is, and if for some reason they would vote issues rather than party, I think we would see a very close race."

There are some quality tangents, such as a Leeds' To Sir With Love suc­cess with his students, and a reunion after years of seperation between Sarah and her mother (played by Piper Laurie). But mostly, the film is a straightforward love story.

Hurt bridges the gap between her communication and our understand­ing with a performance of remarkable concentration and control. We listen to their dialogue through his monologue. He doesn't interpret her language, he reacts to it, makes it flowing conversa­tion. He gives voice to her signing, gives sound to her silence. ~

It is this interpretation of sound and silence that makes Children of a Lesser God so artistically memorable. Direc­tor Randa Haines uses fully the poten­tial of cinematography.

• how Haines explores the deeper levels of her film.

The filni opens with the image of Sarah asleep. The screen is silent as the wind moves through delicate lace cur­tains. There is water outside - rain, waves and heavy fog. The scene has a mythic quality, and because the image is silent, we watch as if seeing the sound of the wind. Throughout, the film explores the relationship between sight, sound and silence. Sarah shows

~ Leeds how waves sound, and because she can't hear them, she sees and feels the sound. Matlin is sensually beautiful here, her hands embrace and crash against the shores of her body. You will hear waves when you see this scene.

Similarly, she asks Leeds to show her what the music of Bach looks like. Because he can hear it, he fails to see the sound, and can show her none of it. He does a pantomime as awkward as

To its credit and toward its integrity, the film uses deafness as a prop only -this is no support piece for the plight of the handicapped. Because so many of the actors are hearing impaired, the deaf aspect of the movie is natural, a part of the scene.

Deafness, and the consequent communication with vision instead of sound, both work to underscore the deep conflicts that arise between Sarah and Leeds.

Leeds falls in love with a beautiful, angry and silent woman. He grows to understand her silence, but has diffi­culty accepting it. He wants her to speak.

She loves him because he does understand her, yet it's his intimate understanding which threatens to rob her of her own identity.

This is good stuff. Oscar nominations everywhere.

The scene has a mystic quality, and because the image is silent, we watch as if seeing the sound of the wind.

hers was beautiful. The film ends with a dark screen

covered by the sound of waves. The film has manipulated our sen­

sual impressions so that we see and hear differently at this point. Because the image of water and waves has been audibly and visually manipulated, you will see these waves that you hear behind the darkness.

William Hurt is superb, he will be nom­inated, if for no other reason, because of his understated few scenes portray­ing a man who has lost a great love. Nomination for Marlee Matlin as well. She is captivating as the person receiv­ing that love. She is stunning as a sym­bol of the human need for expression. Together they are the hottest explosion of passion seen in cinema for some­time. o
