Higher parking prices plague those at Auraria because of expansion. But controversy clin~ to the Auraria Higher Education Center Parking Office
• because it extremely exceeded its budget.
After having an extensive research study by Project Associates conducted last Spring, the AHEC parking staff knew it needed more lots and a new parking facility in the future.
~ Plans to build a lot next to the Physical Plant oh 7th Street-now Lot V-and to expand Lot T by the 13th Street Viaduct and Wazee Street-now completed-were included in the 1982-83 AHEC Parking Facilities
~ budget last May. This summer, however, the AHEC
parking staff said it underestimated the construction costs of the lots and needs more money than originally planned in the budget.
So, on July 12, the Auraria Board of • Directors approved the new 82-83 park
ing rates and structures recommended by the Auraria Parking Advisory Committee to be implemented by September l, 1982. .
The new and ·higher parking fee
~ schedule will generate an extra $230,000
~ on top of the revenue already listed in AHEC's parking budget. About half of that income will be saved for a new
parking facility and the other $130,000 will be used for construction.
"The fee schedule is a proposal made after the budget for the 1982-83 fiscal year was approved; the increases proposed aren't accounted for within that budget proposal, and should not be considered now as a part of next year's operations," said Loring Crepeau, President of the Associated Students of MSC, in a letter to the Board.
"Those costs (for new and extended lots) were included in their budget," said Chris LaCroix, CCD Student Government President. "I would like to know why they can't stick to their budget?"
"We included Lots V and T back in May," explained Raul Gomez, AHEC's Director of Administrative Services. "But what happened was, we were using information we got from telephone quotes. Then, after the projects were approved, the city (of Denver) said we had to meet their water regulations."
Parking lots in Denver must be graded to certain levels to retain water so when it rains, all the water doesn't go into the sewer system at the same time, explained Gomez.
"Apparently, it's a new requirement (~e water ordinance) that went into effect. after 1977, when we put the original lots in. These are the first new
Currently, 5,000 parking spaces are available for over 30,000 people. During the next few years AHEC
will lose approximately 1,000 spaces.
As chairwoman of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, LaCroix was allowed to be on the Parking Advisory Committee-without a vote-when the fee increases were posted.
"They ramrodded if (the parking fee recommendation) right thf9ugh. How many lots have they already paved that they would underestimate these by that kind of money ($100,000)?" she added.
lots we've put in since 1977," answered Gomez, in response to why AHEC wasn't already aware of Denver's regulations.
The other costly setback that AHEC didn't anticipate wa8 the old coal bin they found while digg!ng the new parking lot.
"The entire Auraria Campus was built on condemned property," Gomez .said. "Some kind of manufacturing com-
pany sat there (by the Physical Plant) and when workers started excavating for Lot T they uncovered a huge vault about 16 feet deep with concrete walls."
AHEC didn't want to take the chance of asphalting over it_ and having cars fall through, so it hired a company to fill the bin with dirt before the asphalt .was laid.
Gomez claimed the water regulations and the old coal bin increased the costs of Lots T and V from $120,00 to about $200,000. But those weren't the only reasons for the expensive price hikes.
The prime downtown parking Auraria offers is scarce. There's no land for expansion, but yet AHEC must accommodate the growing enrolhnent.
Currently, 5,000 parking spaces are available for over 30,000 people. During the next few ye~ AHEC will lose approximately 1,000 spaces.
About 400 spaces will be lost after a _ new building is constructed east of the Physical Education Building, to replace the East Classroom Building.
Also, when the old Tivoli Brewery on Larimer Street is converted into a shopping center, they will use two lots-on a lease basis with AHEC-eliminating another 600 spaces. I~ order to solve the pulsating parking
problem, AHEC is considering building an eight level concrete garage costing approxim~ely six or seven million dollars.

Ubrary cutbacks will affect ·students, filculty by Randy Golkin
The Auraria Library and Media Center was pushed around the political playground until it lost money, which
•as resulted in numerous cutbacks in houn and servi~.
The Library is managed by UCD, but funded through the state legislature via the three governing boards that control each of Auraria's institutions.
The CU Board of Regents allocates ~oney to UCD, the Board of Trustees
governs MSC and the Board of Community Colleges controls CCD.
Each institution determines the number of Full-Time Equivalent students it has and pays the Library bas-
_., ed on that figure. · MSC has the largest number of students using the Library ~d therefore contributes one-half of the Library's funds. UCD pays one-third and CCD pays one-sixth.
Last Spring, all three schools had such •flll increase in enrollment they received a supplement from the state legislature.
When the schools received their supplements, the Auraria Higher Education Center lobbied and got a nice portion of those funds.
"But the University (CU) had all kinds ~of concerns and by the time they lobbied
for the Library, it was a bit late," said Patricia Breivik, Director of the Library.
Since the Library didn't get much supplemental money, the large enroll-
9111ent increases at all three institutions, ironically, hurt it. It had to meet more demands without the funds to compensate for them.
The other major problem that put the Library in financial trouble dates back to when UCD took over the Media
~enter last December, after CCD had governed it for years.
After checking the records, UCD discovered $74,000 worth of equipment listed on the inventory was nowhere to be found. The loss was assumed to be a
£budget misinterpretation because when che management changed, so did the entire method of funding, and therefore the equipment money was never allocated to the Library.
Now, six months later, the mystery still isn't completely solved and the
..J,ibrary was never reimbursed for the $74,000 loss in equipment. In fact, UCD was only allocated an 8.5 percent increase over last year for all capital equipment, which includes everything from desks to microscopes.
, "The Regents asked for a special i-eport analyzing our funds and service levels," Breivik said on a happier note. -"Chancellor Gene Nordby will turn in the report."
Breivik is hopeful the Regents will allocate more money to the Library
llJl!lfter they see the report, but until that happens all methods of conservation and fund-raising are being employed.
The new Library hours for the Fall will effect students more severely than the other cutbacks. Mondays will be the only days it will be open until 11 p.m. <ffu~y through Thursday it will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The library will be closed on Sundays.
Faculty members will be affected the most when they want to use equipment. The Media Center staff will no longer deliver audio/video equipment to classrooms. Profeswrs will have to pick up equipment from one of four campus locations.
Also affecting faculty members is the film rental changes. Each academic department must now pay for the films the Library rents for them, whereas the Library used to pay the first $50. Teachers are still welcome to borrow
films from the Library's collection at no cost.
The remaining cutbacks are minor ones. There will be an increase in fees for Library services such as microfilm, copying and computer-assisted research. Library toun will be offered through a self-paced audio-cassette package, and materials must be renewed in person rather than over the phone.
According to Breivik, the Library staff wants to meet the Auraria com-
munity halfway. So besides cutting back ~rvices, it is also planning fund-raising events, and the first one is already scheduled.
The Library will host a .. Sneak Preview" on October 1, the night before its book sale, from ~6 p.m. Music, refreshments at a cash bar and the first choice of books will be available.
"We would be very grateful for book donations," Breivik said. "We can even arrange to pick them up."

Guest Editorial .. by Larry Ambrose
The Auraria Higher Education Center, opened in September 1977 as the new combined home of CCD/ A, MSC, and UCD, is a complex system of unique organizational and environmental variables. The establishment of Auraria coincided with the most significant · downtown Denver development boom in the state's history. Auraria institutions have made near heroic efforts to efficiently deal with this unprecedented growth. Perhaps the most visible and commonly experienced aspect of everyday life at the commuter-oriented Auraria campus is parking.
The Auraria Higher Education Center Board of Directors is entrusted with the responsibility for this important service. Acting upon recommendations from the inter-institutional Parking Advisory Committee, the Board has implemented major revisions in the parking system. In response to research studies, immediate critical problems and stated concerns from students, faculty and staff at Auraria, new and significant adjustments have been implemented with the start of the fall semester.
These changes may confuse those familiar with the old system. However, the "old system" barely kept pace with the overwhelming demand for parking spaces by downtown and Auraria commuters. The decal requirement (instituted in the spring semester of 1982 and designed to ensure Aurarlans parking space) did, in fact, succeed. The Parking Advisory Committee then began to look at longer term solutions. An extensive policy study carried out in the spring semester showed that during peak hours all lots had reached capacity. Based on institutional enrollment predictions, imminent plans for campus development, major transportation revisions and proposals, and often expressed concerns of Auraria constituents, the Committee considered many alternatives and subsequently endorsed a program to meet these challenges.
There are three main features of this program. Metered lots have been converted to close-in monthly

permit lots. Additional lots have been developed, some existing lots have been expanded, and access and egress to heavily used lots has been improved. Rates for daily and monthly parking have been increased to create, reserve funds to plan and construct parking areas. Following are listed the changes and the rationale for their implementation.
1. New monthly permit space created. · Metered lots I, M, ac N have become monthly permit
lots. The demand for close in and regularly available parking far exceeded availability. There was no monthly permit parking near the high density and use southeast section of the campus.
Additional space has been created to serve those who use space most regularly. Short-term hourly parking is available in Lot G immediately west qf the Auraria Student Center at 9th between Lawrence and Larimer. Easy access short-term parking is also possible in daily pay lots for $.50 - $1.00 (Lots A,B,C,D,E,F,H,J,K,P,Q,R,T,U and V). 2. Expansion and improvement of existing lots.
More parking space is now available in Lot T at 12th and Wazee, in a new lot Vat 7th and Curtis and in temporary Lot U at 7th and Wazee. Lanes for easier entrance and exit have been added to Lots G, H, and Q. .
Projected enrollment increases alone require additional parking. Official plans call for immediate new campus development for UCD replacement facilities, an11 additional general classroom and office space. In the short-run, utilization of existing land for parking is possible; however, space needed fot these projects and impending changes in traffic systems will soon make multi-level parking structures n~ry. Such structures need not be unattractive or inefficient; however, they will be costly. 3. A general increase in parking rates has been effected.
Daily and monthly parking.is available to Aurarians
for rates of $.50 to $1.00/day. Additional revenues will be dedicated to a reserve fund to cover improvements in existing lots and planning and construction of park-ing structures. •
The increase in 1 ates was required for several reasons. Current improvements in parking facilities must be paid from parking revenues. As an auxiliary fund, no state general fund money may be expended for parking operations or construction. Thus, reserves must be available to avoid future crises. The new• Auraria rates are drastically below other downtown parking rates and for those who choose to drive are, relatively, a bargain. There is a disincentive to taking alternate forms of transportation when parking costs are too low. Auraria parks as many as 20,000 cars each day, which contributes to Denver's air pollution. ~ Therefore, it is Auraria's responsibility, as much as -possible, to encourage the use of mass transit and ridesharing.
Auraria parking lots were originally constructed by the issuance of revenue bonds. Reserves from parking are first pledged to bond payments, the costs of which are fixed. Other administrative, maintenance and _, capital improvement costs are budgeted yearly and reviewed by the Parking Advisory Committee, and must
. receive approval from the Auraria Board of Directors . . Rapidly changing conditions have necessitated
responsible action to alleviate current and anticipated problems. Members of the Parking Advisory Commit-tee are concerned peers of the Auraria students, facul- ._ ty and staff and are open to ideas and feedback on parking operations. Meetings are open to the public.
Information regarding parking policies and procedures can be obtained by calling 629-3257. The cur-rent membership of the Parking Advisory Committee is available from Administrative Services, 629-8493. ..Contact your institution's representatives with suggestions, ideas, and concerns.
Larry Ambrose, Campus Relations Coordinaror/AHEC is a former member of the Parking Advisory Committee.
Y'all came back, eh? Welcome to the Auraria Campus! Whether it's your
first semester here or your fifth, the experience of corning to school in the fall is a challenge. It's a challenge partly because the three schools on this campus are constantly growing: · like the students that attend them. Growth produces change. Auraria is growing and changing at a pace that is hard to keep up with.
If you're new to the campus, don't be intimidated by its 170 acres. Once you get to know your way around, it's a rather comfortable place. The challenge is in getting to know your way around. . . .
There's a legend on campus about a would-be accountant who go so lost on his first day of classes, that upon finding himself standing in front of the library dizzy confused and out of breath, he promptly sold his ~ks back, walked toward downtown, and hasn't been heard from since! Don't let this happen to you! If your compass should fail you, don't panic; ask for ASAC. The Auraria Student Assistance Center can help solve all kinds of problems. It is located in the north end of the Central Classroom Building, in Suite 108.
Within Suite 108 there are several separate offices that exist for the sole purpose of giving you assistance. The Information and Referral Office is one of them. If you should find yourself standing in front of the library, dizzy, confused, on the verge of selling your books back, the Information and Referral Office is what you need. If they can't answer your questions, they'll refer you to someone who can.
The I.R.O. can give.you details on the many services available to you on campus, such as tutoring, academic advising, counseling, veterans affairs, etc. The knowledgeable staff of Information and Referral can tell you where to park your car, where to park your 10-speed, and where to park your kids, while attending classes. They'll steer you right, I guarantee.
Need a job? The Student Assistance Center also has a Career Planning and Placement Office that can help you find work while you are earning your degree and after graduation. The Career Planning Office can help
you with the various facets involved in an effective job search. There are Career Counselors that can assist you in preparing a resume as well as preparing you for an actual interview. The Career Planning Office also has a Career Resource Library, which is overflowing ._. with literature related to jobs and job hunting.
Another helpful office that can be found in the Auraria Student Assistance Center is the Disabled Student Services. This office provides support services for students with disabilities who are enrolled at Metropolitan State College and the University of Col- .l' orado. (Community College of Denver has separate facilities which are located in the South Classroom Building, room 134.)
Disabled Student Services offers you personal, academic, or career counseling as well as the services of notetakers, interpreters, and tutors.
There are students from approximately eighty-five ._.. countries enrolled in the three institutions on the Auraria Campus, which enriches the cultural and academic life of the campus overall. The International Student Servi~ office, also found in Suite 108. can help foreign students feel at home here at Auraria by of-fering academic support counseling, personal counsel- • ing, social and cultural activities, and housing assistance.
Auraria is a wonderfully diverse campus with much to offer. There is academic advising offered by each institution. Legal Services, a health clinic, and child care area also available here. There are womens' centers, financial aid offices, an art gallery, an inter-~ faith center, a gay resource center. Everything you could want in a campus, and more. It's got places to drink beer, eat lunch, and last but not least, there are quiet places to study in the Auraria Library.
For further information on the services offered to students on this unique campus, call on the Auraria _.. Student Assistance Center. 629-3474.
Again, welcome to Aurarial Enjoy your stay!

-rtews. · ·Abundance of stud,nt loan money avai,able
....
by Lori A. Penrod Yacovella
Ji.- Despite a troubled economy, money for student loans is abundantly available in Colorado.
Although the loan money is available, the volume of applications for Guaranteed Student Loans are down,
_ Florine Wilcox, Student Loan Adjustor '>- of the Central Bank of Denver, said.
Wilcox feels that there are a couple of reasons applications for loans are down. One reason is because of the Reagan Administration budget cuts. For instance, the government used to pay interest on a
1' new student loan for a grace period of ten months. That grace period has been dropped to six months. Wilcox believes that this drop will discourage a few students.
Another reason for the drop in loan requests stems from the stiffer loan
? qualifications, Wilcox said. The New Federal Regulations of Oct. 1, 1981 set financial need requirements for students with a combined family income over $30,000 per year. Prior to this regulation, need analysis was not necessary. Now a thorough financial analysis is re-
,._ quired for each loan. The burden of proving students' needs
rests with the schools. The Office of Financial Aid at Metropolitan State College must now require more documentation for each loan application, Carol
Bray estimates that about five percent of the loan applications are rejected because of the regulation.
. However, the volume of Guaranteed Student Loan applications has increased
'this year, Bray said. Since the Federally Insured Student
Loan Program in Colorado became part of the Coloradd Guaranteed Student Loan Program in 1980, the program has grown dramatically, Bray said. In 1980,
._ 378 loans were processed at M.S.C. and in 1981 that number tripled to 1,102 with an approximate loan amount of $1,830,474.

There are presently 13 lenders in Denver participating in the G.S.L. Program (a list of them is available at the Financial Aid Office). In addition, the Lender of Last Resort Program for students is once again in full operation. This program makes loans available to eligible students who are unable to get loans directly from banks because of bank customer requirements or because
of lack of previous credit, Bray and Wilcox said.
Gerry Marx, Manager of the Student Loan Department at the United Bank of Denver, supports the belief that money is readily available for student loans.
"It isn't really a question of loan money but a question of how many people apply for the money," Marx said.
She said her bank's problem was one
of pr~ing the huge volume of loans rather than a lack of money.
Students should go to their school's financial aid office, get the necessary information on how to oLltain a loan, and follow the necessary steps to secure a loan, Ma~ said.
For students that are interested in obtaining a loan, "get busy and apply!" Marx advised. '

Mountain f elks gather to re-enact a traditional by Kathleen L. Humphreys
"I knew I had to head back to the city and reaume my life cu lt ii today, but wmewhere in my heart I know thi& ii not the life intended for me... · ~
Roxann Nagel
Roxann (Rocky) Nagel is an MSC stu~ ~ent with a great interest in the historical reign of the mountain men, which lasted from 1822 to 1840 in the Rocky Mountain region.
During · the fur trading days of western America, Rocky explained, trappers and traders exchanged wares. Traders came from St. Louis, bringing supplies to barter with the fur-laden trappers, beginning the traditional Rendezvous.
The mid-summer event was usually attended by mountain men, Indians and missionaries who swapped with fur traders from St. Louis for cooking pots, hawks (tomahawks), rifles, cloth and coffee.
Trappers got their supplies and traders got their skins -- thus the historical Rendezvous came to be. Now it is a gathering of people interested in re-creating that part of our history.
Seven-year-old Josh Nagel defined Rendezvous as: "It's where you shoot,
throw your hawk, build fires, put up camp, dress up and have fun."
Eleven-year-old Jason Nagel described it as a bunch of people getting together because they like black powder and shooting, and "stuff'.
The fiercely independent buckskinclad people of today relive and celebrate the unique lifestyle of the 17th century mountain men.
Rocky explained her involvement. "I got involved in the Rendezvous
because my husband, Bill, shot black powder, and it's a good family experience," recounted Rocky.
"It's a good way to recreate history," said Bill Nagel, "it's enjoyable to go back to another time."
"Uncle Dick Wooten" has become a Colorado Rendezvous tradition. He ~umes the identity of Uncle Dick Wooten, a fur trader in the final days of the Rendezvous era.
"Uncle Dick", a former NASA illustrator, embodies what happens when the last thin veneer of civilization wears off and one becomes wedded to this way of life.
Recent Rendezvous reflect the union of authentic dress with the colorful language of the mountain men.
"Uncle Dick" goes to RendezvQus to see who's there, like "Crazy Bear", "Big
Step", or "Coyote Kirby"; he wants to see if they "went under" (died).
''I feel the spirits -- it's a shinin' time," "Uncle Dick" said. "Feelin' fine and eatin' good, telling how fine this winter was -- who's gone under and who's still vertical, who will go to the fall hunt --that's why I come to Rendezvous."
Josh likes coming to camp, throwin' the hawk and shooting his gun. He also likes putting up the teepee and playing.
Jason would prefer to live in the mountains because it is closer to Rendezvous and he could shoot his gun, go hiking and hunt.
Rocky and Bill and their kids have been committed to this lifestyle for three years. They go once a month, from February to November, for two to for days, and sometimes for as long as a week. But the preparation requires months of time.
"When we first started, things weren't organized," remembered Bill. "We didn't have everything as primitive as it is now, pre-1840. Now, it's a matter of loading thin~, getting the food together and making new clothes and thin~ for the lodge (teepee)."
While at Rendezvous, there are certain activities that mark the site.

siders, and pre-1840 equipment and materials are encouraged. Traders Row, a seeming tourist attractiQn, commemorates the barter and sale of goods.
Socializing with other members of the "mess'' (regional group) is an integral part of the reliving. The bond of the heart that beats beneath the fringed buckskin is as alive today as it ever was.
Many Rendezvus are closed to out-
"Being close_ to the earth and the satisfaction of relaxation are things I don't get anyplace else," Rocky said.
"I have learned a lot of history," she continued. "I do a lot of reading and exchange ideas with people involved; they do things authentically here."
"There is the self-satisfaction of making everything yourself,'' Bill contended. "I see something for $50 and I can make it for $2-$3. It is a simple way of· life, but it isn't easy."
The Nagels' everyday life is acutely affected by the Rendezvous spirit. Bill feels Rendezvous makes it harder to go back to work and back to the modern way of life.
"I am chained to the mountains -- the chain reaches into the civilized world ... but it is still a chain," "Uncle Dick" explained.

GOES INTO COORS.
Only Coors starts pure, stays pure. No chemically altered water, no additives
or preservatives.
Most beers start with chemically altered tap water. And then go on to use additives and preservatives.
Not Coors. Coors knows that pure wat.er is one of the most important ingredients in providing fresh beer taste, beer after beer. That's why only Coors beer starts naturally pure, naturally fresh with pure Rocky Mountain spring water.
And only Coors stays pure. Naturally brewed from beginning t.o end with no additives or preservatives. Brewed more
_ slowly, and naturally aged
ecoid.
longer for a clean, fresh tast.e, beer after beer.
So when just one beer won't do, your last Coors tastes as fresh as your first.
That's why Coors is the beer made for the way you really like t.o drink beer.
