Memos resurrecr·· merger issues by Richard Bellizzi

The long-debated issue of restructuring the administrative structure of Auraria institutions is once again being raised, this time because of controversy surroun-

1 ding two documents linked to the CU Board of Regents.

The two memos recommend the regents work ~oward elimina­tion of the Auraria Board of Directors and the establishment of a cluster college concept with MSC, only to then push for a UCD-MSC merger under the regents.

Despite regents' denials of any ~ impropriety, angry legislators last

week demanded a formal ex­planation of the origins and pur­pose of the memos.

CU Regent Peter Dietze, ap: ~ pearing before the Legislature's

Audit Committee, expressed his anger at implications the regents "are going around plotting and scheming, because we're not," Dietze said.

• Despite Dietze's contention that the regents had nothing to do

with the memos, Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Schauer said the regents are responsible for whatever their organization does.

Dietze agreed to make a report to the Audit Committee when it meets again in March.

In observing developments from his position as AHEC ex­ecutive director, Jerry Wartgow is able to make comparisons bet­ween the recent alleged attempts by the regents to force a merger and his and the Auraria Board's efforts in 1978.

W artgow, who assumed his position that year, stressed how the Auraria Board went to great lengths to involve the public when it prepared what has become known as the Bain Report, which made recommen­dations concerning -changes in the administrative structure of the Auraria Higher Education Center.

The report recommended rejec­tion of proposals that MSC, UCD and CCD-A be combined into one institution, and also that the cam­pus be decentralized, eliminating

AHEC and leaving the three in­stitutions as separate entities.

memo which details a plan to abolish AHEC and eventually ab­sorb MSC, said the plan makes no mention of benefits to or affects on students.

It did, however, recommend the adoption of a "Two Institu­tion Model," which would have merged MSC and UCD under whichever governing board the W artgow said the disclosure of Colorado Commission on Higher the memos "probably saved MSC Education and the General from itself."

Construction scheduled to begin in two-to-three months to rebuild the Col­fax viaduct will become the first step taken by the state in helpin~ AHECs

The board envisioned the idea in a master plan drawn .up in 1976.

Among other things, the plan calls for closing Lawrence and Larimer Streets to

It is expected the ambitious plan will add to the safety and convenience of students, as well as increase the aesthetics of the campus. _

of completing the project, Auraria ar­chitect Bill Taber recalled that last year the police, in response to a complaint made by a motorist, began issuing jay­walking tickets, which resulted in a "near riot" by students.

The Colfax construction project will include rebuilding and expanding the viaduct to handle a larger flow of traf­fic. As the project gets underway, however, there will most li~ely be a tem­porary increase in traffic through the campus as vehicles are detoured around the viaduct.

According to Taber, the entire plan to redirect all but service vehicles around the campus could take five or more year8, depending on when state and/ or federal funding becomes available.

The funding for the Colfax construc­tion is coming from federal monies,

When and if the project is completed, AHEC wold be called Auraria Square. Part of the overall plan calls for con­structing additional buildings along Lawrence Street, including construction

of new facilities for UCD scheduled to begin this year a~ a location northeast of the P.E. building. That project will be funded from the sale of existing property now owned by UCD, known as the East Cl~room.

It is expected that if all the future building proj~ are completed, some 1,000 parking spaces will be eliminated,

1~00 apply for Rideshare program . The Auraria Rideshare program -

designed to match up prospective car and van poolers - has received over 1,500 applications.

Paula Lippin Salcofs, Rideshare coor­dinator, has been working with the Denver Regional Council of Govern­ments to process the 1,525 applications ·and match Aµraria students with other students in their area with ·similar schedules. .,

The applications are being fed into DRCOG's computer;-which will do the matching, and applicants should receive their matched list in the mail around Feb. 12. 1

The Rideshlire Program, which is open only to Auraria students, 'has received a lot of support from both students and DRCOG alike.

"I was real pleased with our response," Sakofs said. DRCOG was first contacted in mid-December, and ' expressed its willingness to help; at the same time they stressed that it was Auraria's program and not theirs.

If people are really serious about con­tacting the others on their lists, Salcofs believes the program can have a very

Sakofs said she plans to do some research on the project in mid­February.

This research wpuld include compil­ing a master list of all the applicants. Salcofs hopes to take that master list and determine how many of the applicants were matched, and what percentage of parking sticker. purchasers signed up for the Rideshare program. There are also plans to determine how many people carpooled from one mile, from five miles, and so on. 0 Kevin Vaughan

According to Bohan and the report, this was because most women on staff were hired Without terminal (advanced) Jegrees, while a greater percentage of male faculty members wre hired with terminal degrees. Women were' then passed over in favor of men to serve in administrative positions.

The council determined these prac­tices prohibited women from gaining administrative experience, thereby preventing their upward mobility, and the inequitable situation was a .result of selection policies.

PACSE then developed the Ad­ministrative Internship Program to help rectify the situation. Internships are available to women who are either members of the faculty or other non­exempt. personnel.

Three vice-presidential positions at -MSC are now held by women interns.

Ruth Martinez, a professor from the Reading Department at MSC, is an ad­ministrative intern to the vice president of Student Affairs.

"The program has given me a chance to learn the workings of the institution from the inside." Martinez said. "It (the internship program) provides women who don't have their terminal degree with an excellent opportunity for up­ward mobility."

PACSE's Statement on Sexual Har­rassment, recently adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges, defines acts of sexual harrass­ment.

Dr. Roberta Smilnak, associate vice president of Student Affairs and PACSE's secretary, said the statement will eventually become part of the Affir­mative Action Plan for MSC. The state­ment also contains grievance procedures for victims of sexual harrassment. The procedures are being reviewed by MSC President Fontera, Smilnak said, and will provide rocourse for students, facul­ty and anyone from within the institu­tion.

Smilnak has held administrative posi­tions at MSC and other colleges. She says she has always been a rarity in this capacity. "I guess you could say there was a woman in each department I serv­ed - until I left."

Another member of the council is Bar­bara Blansett, who · also chairs the Women's Studies Program. Blansett compares the function of PACSE as similar to a "midwife position, serving a whole body of womens' needs .. . PACSE produces ideas and methods that :will help women achieve equity."

PACSE has found the administration supportive of its causes to date. Presi­dent Fontera is very enthusiastic about the council's objectives. He believes women are under-represented in this and other institutions "due to pre­existing patterns." Fontera noted th.at womens' lack of experience is a result of unfair hiring practices, as shown in the PACSE study.

PASCE meetings are open to all. The number of council members is not limited. Anyone interested should call Janis Bohan at 629-3205. 0

'Notes from the Underground'

; New life blossoms in paradise One of life's small tragedies: There are never enough

good jobs in paradise. There are always people willing to starve in Key West rather than bank money in Cleveland, but the reality remains the same: nice geography goes hand-in-hand with high unemploy­ment; the nicer the place, the more broke people you see milling around. And boy, do they look miserable. Being broke in Cleveland is much easier than being broke in Aspen, since there's l'lothing to spend money on anyway. A paradox: unemployment in paradise is sheer hell.

One of the nicest, and therefore most miserable places to be broke is Shasta County, California. This isn't redwood c;ountry, and thank goodness for that. Redwood forests are dark and creepy. Like the moun­tains of Colrorado, the Shasta area has rugged peaks blanketed in pine. But in Colorado the pines alw,ays look puny and anemic, a reminder of the harsh realities of nature. In much of Northern California, the flora and fauna look as if they've been taking vitamins and working out at the spa. These are the bourgeois of botanicals. You can almost hear the sap rising.

Shasta County natives look the same way. Retired loggers don't whittle rock on the front porch; they go down to the bar to flirt and arm wrestle, and maybe even get in a fight. Harsh realities aren't simply cushioned there, they are ignored.

Or rather, they were ignored until the federal government stepped in some years back and closed off hundreds of thousands of acres of prime government land to the logging industry. Unemployment soared, and grim faces started popping up everywhere. Forest rangers and members of the Sierra Club were fr& quently mistaken for deer by unemployed loggers packing .30-.30s. Bar fights devolved from fisticuffs to broken bottles. The divorce rate zoomed. The win­dows of pick-up trucks sprouted For Sale signs, but there was no one left to buy. The natives, faced with a spread to maintain and outrageously high property

taxes to pay, were getting restless. The situation went on for two years, and was reflected in the life of my friend Frank, who had gotten used to a life of running heavy machinery for a zillion dollars an hour.

When the roof started to cave in, Frank was one of the first to go. At first he took retirement splendidly -he introduced himself to his children who he had rare­ly seen, walked down to.the unemployment office, and chuckled about making wages while he fished or sat on his duff. But unemployment insurance didn't quite cover the bills, and to make matters worse, Frank was spending a lot of time and money in the bars. The steaks he used to have for brea1cf ast were replaced by Cheerios, and the kids that he finally got to know turn­ed out to be spoiled brats. Expensive ones at that.

~espite a diet of beans and rice, Frank gained 40 pounds. He spent too much time indoors, and he star-­ting looking like a good candidate for a massive cor­onary. I thought he was a goner. Then, something mysterious happened.

Frank, who had learned some years before to tolerate the local population of tepee-dwelling longhairs, was now amazed to discover them buying rounds of Jack Daniels for everyone at the Happy Beaver and Come On Inn. These fellows "Who never worked a day in their lives," as Frank put it, were the only ones in town whose pocketbooks swelled and whose faces had escaped the ere~ of hard times. Not being a dummy, Frank started having these b()ys over for bull sessions - "whittling and jawing," he would say. PDQ Frank had disappeared from his favprite haunts. "Makin' improvements on the homestead," he'd say, with a look that stopped the questioning right there.

One thing was for sure, Frank was outside doing something; he lost weight and returned to his usual mahogany brown color.

Or so the rumqr went. Actually, nobody ever saw frank anymore. He might as well have fallen off the face of the earth. Through the whole summer, ques-

Questions about parking fees: Where is the money going?

Student Government

Report

I would like to present a problem which- affects every human being who wishes to drive a car and at­tend class at any of the combined universities and col­leges of the Auraria campus: the problem is parking. If you have driven to the campus, you are aware of what I am writing; if not, allow me to enlighten you.

Over the past few years parking fees, which I have always considered outrageous, have been charged here on our campus. Recently, increases have occurred which have doubled those fees. It is my feeling that students who have also been subject to rate increases in their tuition should not be subject to these additional expenses. To complicate matters further, I was in­formed that not only do I have to pay to park my car at an institution which I am already paying for the

, privilege to attend, but I am also required to have a sticker to be allowed to park there. I practically had to beg the attendant to allow me to pay money to park here.

It is my understanding that an organization called Auraria Higher Education Center (A.H.E.C.) is operating our parking system. An organization originally formed to do maintenance and protect the students' interest assumed the responsibility to pay off

bonds which were used to· purchase the school. Somehow, with 30,000 cars parked here daily, I ques­tion the time this purchase is taking. So how can they justify these increases.

I have tried to find the answer to where our funds have been going. After addressing this question to A.H.E.C. administrators, I found myself talking to air. This only leads me to believe that my perception of mismanagement of student funds is a reality.

As far as solutions, until we can collectively join to meet and find where our funds are going and where they have gone, I can only suggest riding the bus.

Maurice Nissim Advisor to A.S.M.S.C. President

P.S. There will be a legislative update in next week's addition.

Explanation

Because of the high level of enthusiasm with which we prepared our Feb. 2 issue, the last thirq of Carson Reed's Notes from the Underground was inadvertantly left out of the newspaper.

The Metropolitan regrets this oversight and invites anyone who wishes to read the column in its entirety to stop by our office and pick up a copy.

tions of "How's Frank" were greeted with shrugs. Then, Frank mysteriously reappeared in the fall -with a new pick-up truck and a sparkle in his eye.

Frank would not, and will not, talk about his finan­cial affairs, not even with his dearest and closest friends. But he paid his property taxes that year, a year when government foreclosure notices dwarfed the help wanted column by about ten-to-one. Frank's friends began to watch him closely.

He was back to his old self, except for a couple of peculiarities: when planes flew over his front porch, he'd start to sweat. He chased kids off his property with a loaded gun. "Hell, they ain't doing no mischief, Frank," someone would say. "Like hell they're not," Frank would mutter. It didn't take too long to figure out that Frank had something stashed back there in the scrub oak. One thin·g was for sure -it wasn't a moonshine still.

Whatever it was, on&by-one Frank's friends figured it out. Then, their friends figured it out. Then, ever­body in Shasta county figured it out. New pick-ups flourished. The loggers' spoiled kids· were flush with braces and Izods. 'Paradise returned. 1

Now me, I'm not even going to venture a guess at what Frank was doing back in the woods behind his house. It was his business, and none of mine. But I will tell you one thing - if James Watt ever re-opens Shasta lands to the logging companies, he's going to be in for a nasty surprise when the whole of Shasta Coun­ty unites with the Sierra Club to stop him. Everything flourishes in the lush paradise of Northern California, and a lot of things are more valuable than wood. 0

Hearts, flowers, cupids and candy ... that special day when ·tender messages are pimed between people who .care. (Sometimes these messages are not so tender, i.e. the St. Valentine's Day M~acre.) Remember when you were a kid and spent hours writing names on the back of a card, laboring over which valentine to choose for which person. Did you ever wonder how it all started?

According to Butler's "Lives of the . Saints," Valentine was an early Chris­'tian priest, known to be celibate, who probably would have turned over in his hairshirt had he been aware of his future place in history. So how, you ask, did the poor man come to be associated with such goings-on?

Apparently, one of the most impor­tant festivals celebrated by the ancient Romans was the feast of Lupercalia, a spring fertility rite especially concerned with young people, involving animal sacrifices, half-naked youths dashing about the streets, acquie$Cent maidens, and the usual brouhaha for which the Romans are so well known. When the Romans invaded Britain, this colorful tradition was established on the islands. It remained intact through the genera-

tions along, one may assume, with the roads.

With the establishment of Christiani­ty, the Church Fathers in their wisdom set about to substitute Christian beliefs and the names of saints for long­established celebrations - their think­hig being, logically, that a party is a party no matter what you call it. Thus, St. Valentine, martyred on Feb. 14, became associated with the spring festival of Lupercalia, which took place on Feb. 15.

The earliest written references to mating associated with St. Valentine's Day concerned the pairing of birds, and there is a wonderful description by Chaucer in his "Parlement of Bryddes." It was a popular belief during the Mid­dle Ages that all birds paired in the spring and, as the medieval populace seldom got that far north, they never found out about peQguins. Keeping Lupercalia in mind, it's easy to see how one thing led to another.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was a popular custom to draw names by lot, the person chosen being the special friend of the other for the forthcoming year. This particular activity was generally practiced among the affluent and was, perhaps, not the best basis for an intimate friendship. But, humans

The exchange of gifts has always been associated with Valentine's Day, in­cluding gloves, which the lady would wear on Easter Sunday, jewels, and garters. The earliest pictorial valentines date back to the beginning of the 18th century,,, p_i;\ginating in Germany, and were not card size, as they are today, but on normal size sheets of paper. The custom of exchanging valentiJ!.e cards became prevalent with the establish­ment of the penny post in both England and America. The heyday of the Valen­tine was the mid-ninteenth century, the custom dying down around World War I when life seemed considerably less romantic. It was kept alive in America by schoolteachers, who apparently thought it a good idea for their pupils to express positive feelings toward one another at least one day out of the year.

There are several connections bet­ween popular terms associated with love and early beliefs, other than the aforementioned "birds and the bees."

D SO ends program with UCD The Denver Symphony Orchestra will

present a free concert at Boettcher Hall on Thursday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m. The show will conclude a week-long "in­residence" program with the University

"of Colorado a~ Denver that has given UCD music students and faculty work­ing experience with a professional or­chestra. UCD faculty and students have the luxury of trying out new concepts in­side the unusual new Boettcher Concert Hall, which features remarkable round architecture.

The UCD College of Music currently offers a rare assortment of practical pro­grams geared towards innovative careers in the music industry. Students here can elect instruction leading, towards music management (copywriting, talent agencies, studio ownership), recording and sound syn­thesis, and scoring and arranging -such as for movie or television sound­tracks - in addition to performance.

Because this school's roots are so deep­ly set in the technical aspects of recor­ding and electronic music synthesis; many of the compositions of the faculty and students showcase avant-garde ex-

' pression, utilizing techniques such as computerized interaction with or­chestral player~ and synthesized . tone generation, as well as forward-looking arrangements incorporating polytonalities and complex rhythmic structuring.

Some of these fascinating works will be presented at the upcoming Boettcher Hall concert and are sure to be of great interest to anyone curious about or in­volved with modern musical directions. To better understand these late 20th ~ntury musical pieces, some explana­tions of their inner workings will prove useful.

In the order of performance, the ·pro­gram will consist of:

. Ringmodulation Three - a concert9 for synthesizer and orchestra composed by Professor Roy Pritts. Ring modula­tion, the physical phenomenon upon which this composition is based, occurs in nature in the oscillations of wind caves and tree trunks, and in certain other man-made devices, such as church bells. It may be described simplistically as a mode of vibration that results in both the mathematical sum difference of the musical source tones rather than their combination which occurs in con­ventional musical instruments. ·

Professor Pritts will solo upon a Moog synthesizer employing melodic motifs and variable carrier frequencies - the ring modulations of which will be transcribed into orchestral texture. Boettcher Hall should be an excellent setting for this piece, which employs powerful, repetitious rhythmic struc­tures somewhat reminiscent of Stravin­sky's "Rites of Spring."

Promulgation - an interactive com­position for computer and orchestra by Professor Robert Ensey. In this piece, the orchestral players, divided into three sections, first listen to motifs played by Ensey on a computer - programmed in a series of probabilities and :hierarchies which have specific meanings within sentence-like structure. The orchestral sections then reply ~ith auxiliary and solo scores according to instructions bas­ed on a compositional vocabulary. This arrangement results in non-synchronous polyrhythmic textural overlays bound to be fascinating.

Notes for Electric Guitar and Strings -a challenging mainstream modem· jazz piece by Ronald Stein. Mr. Stein's ex­uberant, rhythmic works are a result of his successful background experience in­volving compositions scored for films and television shows.

Lamentation - a composition for chorus and string orchestra by Aswciate Dean Franz Roehmann. Employing

grim wartime poems by Matthew Ar­nold and Thomas Hardy, and sharply dissonant tonal textures, this piece ex­presses a personal sense of grief about the inevitability of tragic human con­flict. Each of the three movements revolves around a central pitch serving to unify musical and textu~ expressions.

Roy Pritts, UCO music professor, will perform wjth DSO. ..

COncerto in D-Minor for Piano and Or­chestra - one of the most popular works by Johann Sebastian Bach. This com­position provides a good chance to observe contrasts in musical expression. Being an older, traditional piece, it was conceived during -a time of primitive technology to be performed upon the harpsichord.

Harpsichord strings are plucked rather than hammered as in the case of the modern piano, and,as a result they cannot express emotion in the form of volume dynamics. The concerto will be performed by the accomplished pianist Zoe Erisman - a UCD faculty member since 1974 who has presented concerts

~roughout Europe _and the United States.

Mites Davis excee.ds the limits by Tim Cowhide · that defies categorization.

Miles Davis in Concert Rainbow Music Hall Jan . 29, 1983

Though held together by the tight base lines of Marcus Miller and powerful drummer Al Foster, who masterfully outlines and underscores the reed and guitar solos, Davis is the conductor that keeps the freight train on the track. Whether he uses hand signals to lay down the tempo, or solitary notes on a synthesizer to mark the beginning or end of a rift, he maintains a remarkable stage presence that steadies the players and sustains the intense pace of the music.

In the late 50s and 60s, when musi­cians like John McGlaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea were cutting their musical teeth with Miles Davis, jazz followers were predic­ting that through his influence and nur­~ng of their abilities Davis would help them to establish themselves as some of the best progressive musicians for years to come.

His abilities as a jazz composer and mentor of fine young musicians have allowed him tremendous freedom to ex­periment with different sounds in jazz and build them in around his tightly wound trumpet solos.

Now, in 1983, the man and his horn are mellowing, but his music is develop­ing new definition and clarity as it reaches out in new directions.

Although some of the solos were cut too short and did not develop as fully as po~ible, some of the most interesting phasing and richest chord harmonies came from John Schofield, the inore im- . pr~ive of two lead guitarists -although he was featured l~ often -and Bill Evans, a gifted soprano/tenor saxophonist (no relation to the late Bill Evans, pianist) who in his early 20s is already considered by many to be one of the finest reed men in the country.

With his current band of incredibly gifted and powerful musicians, Davis, 56, exceeds the limits of hard-driving rock, funk and mainline jazz to achieve a fresh and electrifying style of music

Their interpretive styles and uncanny technical abilities blended well with Davis' trumpet, adding richn~ and definition to his complex melodies.

Much ol Davis' music is wracked with

inner conflict and a tension - that is sometimes overpowering for even the devoted listener. But, on this night, the music was fast-paced and flowing and conveyed the band's intense energy and jubilation to an enthusiastic audience.

The music was much more cohesive than some of his middle-60s free form

and more unified and melodic than the psychedelic jams with McGlaughliq... Corea and others. However, as is his trademark, Davis is again cutting new paths in progressive jazz and breathing new life into a musical genre that many people feel has been losing its pro­minence on the popular scene. 0

Si;!orts # · Track team impressive. in· meet

by Tony Patino ·

The MSC Roadrunners lived up to "1tieir name last Saturday with some im­

pressive performances in the GoJo In­vitational in Fort Collins.

Three of the athletes placed in the top three in the running events.

Coach Brian Janssen was pleased with ,the overall performance of his runners.

"We looked as good as any area col-· lege; at least in the invitational,"

Janssen said. Two of MSC's runners -won races - Charlie Blueback took honors in the invitational mile and Bruce Jenkins won the open 400. John Liese also turned· in a strong pedor­mance by placing third in the invita­tional 3,000.

Janssen points out that the invita­tional events pitted his runners against Olympic hopefuls, and said "the fact · that we had people in the invitationals ~oes to show how well our people are

He also placed first Feb. 4 and 5 against Ft. Lewis College and the Col­orado School of Mines, even though his ~m lost both meets, the first 33-59 and the other 39-54.

"Overall, the team has done well," said Waidmann, "but individually, they've been excellent."

The team, which is small in numbers, l)..qs to work hard on ·an individual scale to compete against the larger teams.

Coach Waidmann and th~ team per­ssmally invites everyone to come out and see the last two scheduled home meets of the seaspn Feb. 10 against Colorado College at 4 p.m. and Feb. 11 against the University of Denver at 4 p.m.

The clinic, which is a team effort, is expected to gross $11,000 with its record

breaking crowd of 192 participants ranging rrom 7 to 18 years of age.

Head coach Bill Helman and the team have been working hard for months to make sure that the clinic ruqs smoothly, so when the team makes its appearance in the season opener Feb. 26 at the Col­orado School of Mines with their new sweats, hats, shoes and bags, you can rest assured the MSC Roadrunner's baseball clinics will have been· totally successful.

The nationally competitive MSC var­sity indoor track team will compete Feb. 12 against the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado College, the University of Northern Colorado and Northeastern Jr. College in Golden.
