Charge-back Plan Reviewed "Double-dipping" alleged

by Lisa Dell' Amore As.Ntant Editor, The Metropolitan

Campus administrators are cur­rently reviewing the Auraria physical plant's procedure of

"charge-back" billing after school officials raised questions about the system.

Under the present system, the physical plant now bills each school for services not included under maintenance and grounds construc­tion, such as carpentry and some painting. The schools are billed for labor and materials.

Opponents of the charge-back system argue that the fees for these special services ought to be included in the money the physical plant receives from the state Legislature.

Jim Vanderhye, MSC ~ociate vice president of business and finance, said the physical plant ought to provide the special services at no additional labor charge because the department has already received money from each individual school.

"We would like to think that we pay for materials since we already paid the carpenter in the transfer of funds," he said.

Auraria Physical Plant Director Larry Hodge disagreed. Hodge claimed that the money he receives from ~~e state Legislature is strictly for maintenance of facilties and not

AHEC Studying Parking Solutions

by Michael Ocrant Reporter, The Metropolitan

The AHEC Board of Directors ex­pects to decide on a solution to future parking problems at Auraria in their Dec. 12 meeting . .

At an open forum held Nov. 10 to discuss AHEC' s general plans, Dr. Jerome W artgow, executive director of AHEC, said a decision should be made by the next meeting so that alternative parking will be available in coming years.

An automated guideway transit system bus shuttle from Mile High Sports Complex, or parking garages are three options open to AHEC.

In addition, "doing nothing re­mains a real option," Wartgow said.

In other words, Wartgow said, not building and thereby not creating any immediate parking shortage.

The AGT is being most closely studied at present, but all the pro­posals will be studied equally and thoroughly, Wartgow said.

Charging that Director of Student Activities Gina Johnson is ad­ministrating that office "ineffective­ly," newly-appointed Assistant Director of Student Activities Kyle Burris has joined forces with student government leaders to eliminate the director's position and place students in control of the Student Activities office.

Burris, along with MSC Student Government President Brendan Kel­ly, leveled a number of accusations at Johnson's handling of the posi­tion, and advocated that the position itself be eliminated.

"She has not delegated work or given us a plan of action to follow," Burris charged. "She is not an effec­tive supervisor."

Burris, who has held his position under Johnson for only three weeks, charged that Johnson's salary is not justified by the amount of work she is doing.

"I don't think it's right that over haH of our student fee money is go­ing into administrative salaries and benefits,'' Burris said. "That's way out of line with what is happening on other campuses."

But Johnson, who returned to Stu­dent Activities this fall after a year in internship, said that the problem stems from a misperception by Bur­ris and others over what the director is there to do.

"When Student Activities was reorganized this summer, the idea was to give students more control over Student Activities," Johnson said. "That's what Kyle and the six student directors are here to do. I'm here as a support; part of my pro­blem is that what I do is in the background."

Johnson's position would be either eliminated or severely downgraded under a plan for the reorganization of Student Activities which is built into the proposed MSC constitution, to be voted on by MSC students on November 21 and 22. Under that plap, the office of Student Activities would cease to exist, and an MSC "Programs Council" would replace it.

In a move that embroiled The Metropolitan and four other student clubs in the battle, MSC Student Government recently won space for the not-yet-existent programs coun­cil.

At a November 10 meeting of the Student Facilities Policy Council, a motion was presented by UCD Director of Campus Recreation

Physical Plant Charge-Back System Questioned

"The money I get from the general fund is to maintain the facilities as they exist now. What it doesn't pay for is changing· the lamps (or) changing the door." _ Larry Hodge

continued from f)Olle I for the enhancement of the campus' buildings. "~e money I get from the

General Fund is to maintain the facilities the way they exist now," he said. "What it doesn't pay for is changing the lamps (or) changing the door. That's not what I'm paid to do."

Every year, the physical plant receives money for its operation from the three schools at Auraria. For the fiscal year July 1983 to June 1984, the physical plant reported receiving $2,807,173 for maintain­ing personal services (salaries); salary survey; operating expense and contracts.

The budget for operating student facilities, such as the Student Center and student lounges, parking and the Mercantile is $436,000.

In addition, the physical plant reports that it will 'need to generate $150,000 in order to pay workers and material fees for any special pro­jects. The department claims it does not have these funds to absorb the cost of the services.

By adopting the charge-back system, Vanderhye said the physical plant is charging schools twice for bills they've already collected on.

"It's sort of double-dipping," he said. "on (the) one hand, we transfer money to purchase services, on the other hand, they (physical plant) bill us for services."

This fall, a physical plant advisory

committee began meeting to discuss the system and to address any alter­natives. Representatives from the four institutions - AHEC, MSC, UCD and DACC - were chosen to review the billing procedure.

The committee was created short­ly after MSC President Richard Fontera made a request to the AHEC Executive Board of Directors that the system be examined.

Fontera said he received an "outrageous" bill "for hundreds of dollars" from the physical plant after an employee put up a coat rack in his office.

After he refused to pay the bill, Fontera was sent a second invoice for a smaller amount, which he said he paid.

Nevertheless, Fontera said he doesn't understand why there is a charge-back system since money is given to the physical plant each year.

If there continues to be such a system, Fontera said he's like to see administrators and faculty members be given a list of charge-back ser­vices and fees before the work is completed.

DACC Dean of Instruction Marlene Hall, said this is the first time she has ever worked at an in­stitution where she has been charged for such trivial items.

"Many of these thin~ you would do in your own home," she said "(such as) changing the lock on a

door or adding an electrical outlet." Hall said the DACC administra­

tion is questioning the accuracy and purpose of the charge-back system. She said a review of the system was also being done by the state audit team.

State auditor Robert Haddock said in an interview last week that the charge-back system had been ad­dressed although he didn't know if the results would be included in the audit's report.

Not all Colorado colleges and universities employ the use of the ch~rge-back system.

At Red Rocks Community College

- Jim Vanderhye

in Golden, Dean of Instruction Barry Noonan said the college does not have a charge-back system because the physical plant provides the needs of the campus community.

"The only time you should have additional funds is when you have someone come in from· the 01,1tside," he said.

A spokesman from CU-Boulder said the university does have a charge-back system employing 300 people for physical plant operations and special projects.

UCD Director of University Ser­vices Ken Bloom refused to comment on the charge-back system. D

Construction to Begin In Auraria Mallway Construction will begin sometime next week on a replacement for

the main campus steam line, closing sections of the main north-south walkway through the campus.

The streamline, which provides most of the heat for the campus, has had a broken casing for nearly a year. The break is the source of the billows of pungent steam exiting manhole covers along the walkway.

According to AHEC Community Relations Coordinator Larry Am­brose the construction will take several months, but provisions are be­ing m'ade to ensure access around the construction, including pathways for the handicapped.

tgow said, for viaduct construction and other expenses n~ for a bus shuttle service.

Wartgow's assurances were made in response to questions concerning a parking-alternative survey con­ducted during the week of October 9.

That survey was recently criticiz­ed in a letter to the editor in The

· Metropolitan. The survey was designed to help

determine if enough people would ride an AGT and it was criticized for being unevenly worded in length and description to favor the AGT alternative.

Wartgow said that was because the firm which conducted the survey, Peat Marwick Mitchell and Company, was told by AHEC that the purpose of the survey was tq see if students would ride an AGT.

If the survey were meant to see if people would use parking garages," W artgow said, "then they would be described as well lighted, safe,

clean, and so on ... " In reviewing the AGT system, the

prime concern of feasibility would include such things as whether enough cooperation would be available from RTD, the Denver Ci­ty Council and others who may be involved with the planning or opera­tion of the system, W artgow said.

Other points W artgow said AHEC is pursuing include: • Making certain that construction would begin on the UCO replace­ment building within approximately a year, possibly with capital expen­diture funds created by the Colorado Lottery. • Continuing to pr~ for the closure of Lawrence and Larimer Streets. • Seeing that the Larimar viaduct is rebuilt as soon as the rebuilding of the Colfax viaduct is completed. • Holding several other forums con­cerning projects and plans for the campus in the future. • Planning a separate parking forum in the near future.

Glenn Browning that attempted to resolve the space allocations Of a number of campus organizations, in­cluding The Metropolitan.

The motion, put together jointly by Browning and UCO Student Government Chairman Ken Cole, was meant to solve as many space allocation conflicts as possible in a single motion.

However, the motion included a space appeal from MSC Student Government requesting that the Stu­dent Support office and the "Pro­gram Council" be moved into space adjoining student government of­fices. The appeal was presented by Kelly, who, according to Cole and Browning, made assurances that the move had the support of the Student Activities office.

But Johnson said she had no knowledge of the appeal at the time it was presented, and that she wo'uld challenge the change at the next meeting of the SFPC.

"We were deceived," said Cole. "I wouldn't have supported the plan if I had known that it was done without her Gohnson's) approval.''

SFPC board member Dave Sutherland told The Metropolitan in a letter: "(In presenting the motion) UCD student government's inten­tions are honorable, MSC's are not. They are based solely on the at­tempts by MSC student government to obtain control of Student Ac­tivities."

The move, according to Johnson, is just part of a continuing campaign to remove her from her position as director.

"It's very frustrating," said Johnson. 'Tm being evaluated by criteria that I'm not even aware of. I feel like I'm the crisis, and I don't know why.''

I think part of the problem stems from the students' perspective of my position - there is a feeling in general that administrators are not sensitive to students' needs. That's partly because I'm here to be the

'no' person, to say whl\t can and can't be done."

Johnson charged that she has been placed in a kind of double-jeopardy, where students want more respon­sibility over the programs and then complain that she is not doing her job.

"Hey, if they want to run it, then let them run it. Either I'm not heavy-handed enough, or I'm too heavy-handed," she said.

But Kelly charged that Johnson has repeatedly declined to involve Student Activities in projects that he has suggested.

"I came to her and said 'Why can't we get student discounts from the DCPA?' and she said that wasn't Student Activities' job. I came to her about getting an on-campus 'Select-a­Seat.' Same thing. What I want to know is, what the hell is her job?," Kelly said.

But Johnson pointed out that there have been no criticisms of her per­formance so far from either Vice President for Student Affairs An­tonio Esquibel or Associate Vice President Roberta Smilnak, her direct supervisors.

"U I'm competent to do my job, then I should be allowed to do my job," she said. 'Tll deal with criticism from my superiors when, and if, it comes.''

John5on said that she is most wor­ried that the campaign to remove her from Student Activities is not op­posed by either Esquibel or Smilnak.

"I've been mistreated in this pro­cess," said Johnson, "and I feel like this mistreatment has either been condoned or supported by my superiors. I'm not getting the help I

. Educational Develop01ent Philosophy Behind Center

by Deb Smith Reporter, The Metropolitan

"To provide optimum educational experience for pre-schoolers, as well as college students, in an educa­tionally conducive environment." This, says Ruth Martinez, the direc­tor of the MSC program at the Child Development Center, is the philosophy behind the center.

The Child Development Center is a lab school, for Early Childhood Education majors enrolled at MSC, and DACC. It accents children from 2-years-old to 5-years-old, through two separate, but cooperative pro­grams of DACC and MSC. The mor­ning "session is open to children from 2-years-old to 3-years-old, and the afternoon session is open-to children 4-years-old and 5-years-old.

MSC also conducts another lab school through Greenley - Metro Elementary School. This program is for the Elementary Education ma­jors, and works in cooperation with the Denver Public School System.

Jackie Schwartz, the co-ordinator of the DACC program at the center says "The lab school is more than just a pre-school, it is a whole human relations lab. We are not dealing with children, we are relating to them." The curriculum and programs for the preschoolers are based on "Open Education, with a focus on reaj.ly creative kinds of teaching." Also, she says "Positive guidance rather than discipline" is the ·emphasis of those involved with the program.

College classes are taught at the center, and students make us of observation rooms for certain aspects

time" says Martinez. Also, this pro­vides the parents early detection of learning disabilities oiaevelopmen­tal delay, which may be present in their child.

Susan Kale has had her children enrolled in the center for the past three years. She chose the center after exploring other programs, because of "the environment - the teachers are really caring and thoughtful." Susan also likes the multi-cultural group of children enrolled. "There's no society strings with this group" she says. She also adds that the "high rate of supervi­sion" because of the presence and availaQility of the college students, in addition to their regular teachers, was another factor in her decision. O

Jackie Schwartz acknowledges this fact also. "The students need to find out whether they really want to work with children."

With t?e ~eagan a.d.ministration's use in recent months of both displays and app~ications of military power, there has been a growing public focus on Americas armed forces .

E~listments in al~ t~e. servic:es are exceeding quotas; Marine recruiters in partic~lar ~eport sigruf1cant JUmps since the vehicle bombing of Marine ~orces m.~eirut. Moreover, there appears to be a resurgence of public pride i? ~e miht~ry and a genuine understanding of its role in preserving the na­tion s secunty.

L!e?tenant Col6nel Fred Sheldon, commander of MSC's Reserve Officer T~?1rung C~rps (ROTC) detachment, is pleased to see the change.

I get smiles and nods now instead of snarls and sneers," he says. "I feel ~:S~ .. ~mfortable on campus in uniform now - that wasn't always the

Indeed, ~heldon reports that his people were forced to forego the once-a­week wearmg of fatigue uniforms last year because of negative commments from students.

"This year there haven't been any bad vibes. I attribute it to greater

hawa~eness of the need for a strong standing army. There are problems in the em1sphere." Unt!l a couple of weeks ago, one of America's hemispheric problems was

the ex1stenc:e m ~r~nada of an unstable Marxist regime and the threat it pos­ed t? Amencan citizens on the island and American strategic interests in the Canbbean. Sheldon feels the U.S. action to rescue medical students there and remove the communists nominally in charge has apparently met with general approval among Auraria students.

"During invasion week, I had more students talk to me on sidewalks to a~d from class, acknowledge me, stop me and tell me how pleased they were With the rescue ... others passed me by and said 'Good morning Army!' And they seemed proud to say it." '

Mike Hunter, a senior ROTC cadet and MSC political science major, con­curs.

. "Two d~ys after (the <?renada operation) a lot of people asked me for my views on it. And a guy m one of my classes who calls himself a dove said 'Way to gol' and said he was starting to see the world more like the Presi­dent." Wh~? asked ~hy they think students today are so supportive and proud of

the military - m sharp contrast to their critical attitude during the Vietman period - Hunter and Sheldon had ready answers.

"The ~u1!1ber one difference," says the cadet, "is the separation (in students mmds) .between .the government and the military. Now the Army is seen as caught m the rmddle - where it used to be seen as part of the political decison making. It's easy for a senator to say 'Let's go' but we're the ones who have to go. We're the ones who see all the destruction."

Concludes the commander: "The military is becoming more prominent in the eyes of our young socie­

ty. They .u.nderstand there's a drastic need for strong military power because strong military power promotes peace." O

'A Strict Professional' Lieutenant Colonel Fred Sheldon

has served with the United States Ar­my since 1965, when he received a direct commission as a distinguished military graduate from Florida State University. He volunteered for air­borne school, then put in two tours of duty in Vietnam with the 9th In­fantry Division (Mech), first as an infantry platoon leader, then as divi­sion assistant operations officer. Among his decorations are two Pur­ple Hearts and "four or five" Bronze Stars for valor in combat. His most prized award, however - an Army Commendation Medal - was not won on the field of battle.

"The ARCOM means the most," he explains, "because I received it as a BCT (basic combat training) com­pany commander at Fort Polk, Loui­siana. I have distinct personal pride in turning out an outstanding pro­duct - in turning out soldiers with a good, solid foundation."

Sheldon requested his ROTC

assignment at Auraria because he believes a military officer has to "love and take care of his soldiers, be a strict professional bound by his oath of office, be ethically sound, with a high set of morals. I want those persons commissioned to uphold those sets of values."

Anyone interested in military science can take the freshman and sophomore ROTC courses and Sheldon suggests them for anyone wanting to hone his or her profes­sional development.

"We offer leadership/manage­ment oriented courses and a first hand chance to lead, manage an direct. It's a very active hands-o program; we operate more in th ' real world,' if you will ."

A Good Berth for the Greatest Show on Earth 1981

In 1979, the world as it appeared to me seemed to be slipping into an irreversible decadence, the fabric of

the society that raised me suffering from a kind of moth rot that dissolved into nonsensical madness at the

slightest touch. It was a lousy time for thinkirtg about the future. The only appropriate

stance was cynicism, an affected disdain that reflected the acute helplessness of the times.

The feeling seemed to. be widespread - word came down to me along with the north wind that cynics of all stripes and persuasions would be in Victoria, Canada, to celebrate the "One-and-Only" End of the World Party.

The invitation I received said, "be there or be square," and, at that poiflt in my life1 I wanted it on the record that I had observed The End from the highest vantage point possible. I caught a DC-10 from Reno International Airport and was strolling through Victoria by late that afternoon.

It was a splendid place to watch the world end. Victoria is at once quaint and bustling, and there are a lot of colorful hippies and beatniks hanging around, and the beer is good.

Although everyone seemed to be having a good time, no one seemed ter­ribly disappointed about the world ending. My kind of people.

The party was thrown by a collective known as "The Family Truck," and, as you might imagine (given the circumstances), it was rather uninhibited.

No one expected to be around for guilt and hangovers, so the weekend pro­ved to be one of the most carefree of my life.

Existentialists have been insisting for years that existence without future is meaningless. While I'm sympathetic to what they're trying to say, I'd have to disagree: life without future has a very limited meaning: either it is plea­sant, or it is unpleasant. In either case, it seems to have meaning just by being there. Existence is an end in itself.

Looking back on that party, I sometimes wonder how I've conned myself into believing that the future could have any meaning whatsoever.

The End of the World Party is a perfect example of how things never turn out as we expect them to. Discussing the future is exactly as meaningful as

"Many will tell you with mockery and ridicule that the abolition of war can only be a dream - that it is but the vague imagining of a visionary. But we must go on or we will go under.

And the great criticism that can be made is that the world lacks a plan that will enable us to go on."

- General Douglas MacArthur The Cold-warriors believe they have a plan worth holding on to, so they do

it, regardless of the cost. The key to their plan is physical force - tyranny. The Peace-warriors also believe they have a plan worth holding on to. The key to the plan is idealism - democracy.

We sense, in this fragile world, that idealism is our truest strength, so together we seek a deeper understanding of democracy and search for ways to express the idea in reality. We know that sympathy without action will not save our way of life, so we must find an effective way to act.

If democracy is to succeed, we ·must intensify our faith and our inspiration. We can do this by turning to the counsel of our elders; by pointing a selective ear to those, who, though buried in history, will not let us forget that there is a great vision of America, waiting to be fulfilled.

American statesman Adlai Stevenson said "It is only by intense thought, by great effort, by burning idealism and unlimited sacrifice that freedom has prevailed as a system of government. And the efforts which were first necessary to create it are fully as necessary to sustain it in our own day."

"Freedom," Stevenson said, "demands infinitely more care and devotion than any other political system. It puts consent and personal initiative in the place of command and obedience. By relying upon devotion and initiative of ordinary citizens, it gives up the harsh but effective disciplines that underpin all the tyrannies which over the millenia, have stunted the full stature of man."

Freedom cannot exist without care and devotion. We must be fully com­mited to the spiritual values of democracy before we can express these values in reality. .

Eric Fromm pointed out, "The real threat to o.ur existence is not Com-munist ideology~ it is not even the Communist military power - it is the hollowness of our beliefs, the fact that freedom, individuality, and faith have become empty formulas, that God has become an idol, that our vitality is sapped because we have no vision except that of having more of the same. It seems that a great deal of the hatred of Communism is, in the last analysis, based on a deep disbelief in the spiritual values of democracy. Hence, in­stead of experiencing love of what we are for, we experience hate of what we are against. "

Americans are for freedom, democracy, peace and prosperity. If our oo way of life is to continue, . we must reassert these basic principles, and draw ~ the world to our way of thinking, by example, not force. 0 ~ · - Keith Levise

discussing purple people eaters, no more, no less. Waiting for the end of the world is an activity, in theory, that only has meaning if the world ends. In turnabout logic, waiting for the world to not end is only meaningful if the world does not end.

The world, as you may have guessed, did not end. Faced with our hedonistic sins and massive hangovers we did the only thing possible: we had another party. Just as dying merrily in the company of friends had seemed like a charming and poignant gesture, going on with our lives in the same company took on a new grace.

Such friends, ready and willing to accept whatever challenge is brought by the north wind and the U.S. mail, are hard to find. Flexibility and resiliency are the only qualities of value in a world of change without end.

On its face, the "Party to end all parties" was an absurd joke, which, you might assume, was not really taken seriously by anyone. But, I confess, I took it as seriously as anything in my entire life.

Everything, after all, has an end. Poised for nuclear war from the very earliest memories of my life, I am struck dumb by the human law that says anything that can happen, eventually will. Human nature is not designed to withstand un.fulfilled potentials indefinitely.

We ache, in some perverse way, to get it over with. In a literal way, the suspense is killing us.

In 1983, the world as it appears to me is no longer slipping into irrever­sible decadence. Cynicism, the voice of the impotent, is no longer ap­propriate.

The tools of change are at our disposal. It requires only that we reject the appeals to our insecure hearts, and be brave.

It is a better time for thinking about the future than it has been for a long time, but there is a growing danger that we risk putting old wine in new bot­tles.

Robert Oppenhiemer, one of the creators of The Bomb, quoted the Bhagavad-Gita in his pronouncement on the nuclear age: "I am become Shiva, the Destroyer." Once again, gods walk on the face of the earth. But only the future can make the final pronouncement on what we do now; on what we have become. We have acquired the power of the gods, but we are only gods if we create a heaven in which to live.

It would be so easy to bring this world, like this story, to an end. But a story exists to be read - implicitly in the writing of it is a world-without­end. To destroy everything is to be nothing: a colorless tapestry dissolved in­to nonsensical madness. O

IJEir~ Parking Debate Continues ...

Editor: I'd like to take this opportunity to disagree with the opinions expressed by

Mr. Benavidez and Dr. Fontera in letters requesting Auraria vi~itors to refrain from parking in the Westside neighborhood. Considering the huge number of people who commute to this section of Denver, I'm not all sur­prised that it's getting so there are more motor vehicles around here than there are spaces to legally park them. But the question remains: who is responsible for the shortage of parking, and what's being done about it?

One of the main drawbacks of the simple solution (which relies on the voluntary cooperation of students and faculty to avoid parking .on the sur­rounding streets) is that it may well be unnecess!iry because the severity of the problem is being exaggerated by those nearby residents who resent the inconvenience of occasionally having to park several blocks away from home. Before anyone accuses me of showing callous disregard for these residents' debatable "right" to park on the same block they live on, let me point out that for the past six years I've been living.on the Hill in Boulder where a similar parking conflict has existed for a long time. I know exactly what it's like to hop in your car for a short trip to the store and come back ten minutes later to find someone else has taken your place. I'm also familiar with the hassle of having to park five blocks from home until evening when the commuters leave. And from my experience I have to say that the parking troubles the Westside neighborhood has encountered are neither uni-

• que :µor easily solvable.

The foremost difficulty is that the residents actually want something they don't have - private parking! So instead they like to pretend that the loca­tion of their homes somehow gives them an excuse to treat public parking on city streets as if it belongs exclusively to them. Meanwhile the general public continues to exercise the right to legally park along those streets, just as most Westside residents do whenever they visit other neighborhoods. Since the lots on campus are so expensive, many students prefer to park for free on the streets, and frankly I don't blame them.

So if you live in the Westside area and are sick of the current parking ar­rangement, here's a couple of recommendations. If you're persuasive enough you might be able to convince your landlord to do as we did and replace part of your lawn with off-street parking. Then when anyone steals your place or blocks you in you can have them ticketed and towed away. Or if you want to get to the root of the problem, trying putting pressure on AHEC to reduce its parking rates and construct a few new lots. But until more parking facilities are available you'd better learn to just grit your teeth and be patient, because there' no way you can legally keep commuters from parking on public· streets where the official policy is "first come, first served, reserva­tion~ are accepted."

Sincerely, Mike Hughes, Boulder

Constitution Proposal, Explai,ned The referendum on the proposed constitution is approaching. As the

authors of the original draft, we have put in over five months on this project. We want to explain why a new constitution is being proposed, how it will ef­fect student government and, most importantly, how it will affect you, the MSC student.

Our purpose in this letter is to assist all students in making an informed decision on the referendum vote. Our purpose in proposing a new constitu­tion is to create a stronger student-run, student-controlled organization that will respond to and meet the needs of the students. Some areas of student government will be changed dramatically while others will simply be reorganized.

The executive branch will be the primary representative of the MSC stu­dent. Direction, policy and support will be provided to the executi"¥e branch of the student senate. The executive branch· will then provide the ad­ministrative and executive function for student government.

The Legislative Branch change will be significant and positive. In the past there have been two committees which provided the legislative function which amounted to very little. The proposed constitution will create a senate of twenty-five representatives. The senators will make up all the working committees which will answer directly to the senate. The senate will have the power to enact laws that enhance the well being of the students. Stan­ding committees will cover financial affairs, academic affairs, club affairs and senate procedures. Ad hoc committees will be set up to cover specific, special purposes.

A new feature is the Club Affairs Committee. Student clubs and organiza­tions deserve some special attention. They represent a core group of students who are actually involved in on-campus activities. Clubs have been largely

( i<>\ennnent l{eport Students,

Well, we're gearing up for our elections on the 21st and 22nd of November. The voting booths will be in the West Classroom, and in the Stu­dent Center. The voting hours will be from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on both days. We are also trying to get one or two MSC clubs to staff the_ booths, so if you belong to a club this would be a good chance to make some money.

If the Constitution is approved by you, more students will be involved in ASMSC, and hopefully we can oo more responsive to your needs. There is a w:eat deal that you as a student can take an active role in. Clubs, organiza­tion, committees, boards, and councils all give students a say in the gover­nance of our college. You can make the difference, so please try.

ignored and "put up with" in the past. The proposed constitution gives these student organizations a direct line to student government decision making. Clubs and organizations will serve as a nucleus for increasing student in­volvement.

The most important feature of the proposed constitution is accountability. Many decisions have unfortunately been made behind closed doors by only a very few persons. Wor5e, these backroom decision makers did not answer to anyone. The proposed constitution specifies the lines of authority. It also dic­tates openness and honesty by requiring public debate and open-door deci­sion making. How important is this to you knowing that student government has the primary input into the allocation of nearly (one cool million) of your. student fee money?

The proposed constitution will allow a better organized student govern­ment to set policies and goals for the next several years. Those issues men­tioned above are not being addressed and have not been for some time. We envision a student government that works! Metro is unique in many ways and is undergoing tremendous growth. The student government needs flex­ibility to respond to that uniqueness and to keep up with that growth. We have an urgent need for involved individuals. Involvement begins with small steps. This referendum is a step in that direction.

Please, read the proposed constitution, stop at the voting booths and vote YES to ratify the proposed constitution. The student government belongs to you. The student constitution is your constitution.

The Metro State Program Council (MSPC) is seeking three chairpeople, and support staff for the various programs they are planning. The chairs receive tuition, fees~ and a stipend of fifty dollars per month. Everyone in­volved with the MSPC will receive free admission to any MSPC sponsored event such as movies, lectures, concerts, theatre, etc. Program Council ex­perience is very valuable for personal growth, and it looks good on a resume. It will be a lot of fun, and also a great way to meet good people.

Jake has asked me to thank all of you that attended the Inter-Clubs Coun­cil. I hope everyone who showed up had a good time. The next meeting will be in early December. Also a big thanks to Jack Oden and the MSC Players, glad to see that you are taking a more active role in your campus.

On November 30, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. there is an open forum on park­ing. I would encourage everyone with ideas and suggestions to attend. The open forum held by AHEC drew only two students, so if you can, please at­tend and become an informed part of our campus. 0

STYLE Freebie Foodbars on the Rise

by Jim Bailey Entertainment Editor, The Metropolitan

The long line of people slowly moves towards the lengthy oak tables stocked with an over­abundance of various hot and cold food dishes.

"Are you sure it doesn't cost anything?, .. a petite red-haired lady with freckles and a silver silk dress asks her companion, a short, portly, balding man.

"Don't worry, baby, it's all free ... all we have to do is buy a drink. Pretty good deal, huh?," he said. "I come here every night. It sure . beats the hell out of cdoking dinner."

. "Well, I sure haven't seen anything like this for free before in my life," says the lady with the rust­colored hair.

As the lady and her rotund friend move along the buffet table, they load styrofoam plates quickly ~ith ·fruit, cheeses, carrots and celery. But when they get to the hot food -burritos and enchiladas tonight -they have no more room on their tiny plates.

"We can always come back for these hot dishes," said the balding man. "That's the beauty of the whole deal - unlimited trips!"

"Well, I don't want to seem like a pig," the elegant lady says, a look of apprehension on her freckled face.

These two represent an increasing number of people taking advantage of free happy-hour buffets popping up in Denver-area bars and restaurants like springtime corn in the fertile fields of Iowa.

The whole idea of serving free food during happy hour is indeed catching on, like egg whites in a delicate cheese souffle. Of 50 restaurants and bars randomly poll­ed 32 have some kind of free buffet fo; their customers. Approximately three-quarters of these places started their buffets in the last 18 months.

One of the buffet trend-setters in Denver is the Bull and Bush, 4700 Cherry Creek South Drive. It is an intimate, cozy bar with an English pub motif; antique copper kitchen implements and fox-hunt memorabilia decorate the walls and ceilin~.

"We are the original taco bar,' said Ron Houchens, part owner and manager of the Bull and Bush. "We have definitely built a cocktail hour in the last five years because of this buffet."

Houchens says the key to buffet success is variety and quality of the food.

"We try to put out something more than slop," he said. "We go for quality stuff here, with tacos only part of what we serve. We change every day of the week, with our tostada (similar to taco) bar on Mon­days, to hot sandwiches, quiche, chicken, and ribs on the other days of the week."

"Variety is the key, or people will lose interest. We want to stay one step ahead of our competition."

Judging by the business, especially on Fridays, Houchens is keeping his

....._

clientele happy. But one thing con­cerns him very much: an over­abundanee of free-loaders eating up all the profits. ·

"We try to keep the riff-raff out,'' he said. "I've had to throw out peo­ple that drink one 50 cent cup of cof­fee and eat $20 worth of food. If everyone was a cheap pig, the system just wouldn't work!"

The Bull and Bush is also one of the first places in town to serve a sandwich buffet from 11 p.m. until closing, Monday through Thursday.

"We're doing this for all the peo­ple who get off work late at night and who would like to get a bite to eat," he said. ·

Overall, Houchens says he is very happy with the buffet idea, and says the secret to this success is to "stay one step ahead of the guy down the road."

One of the relative newcomers (18 · months) to the happy-hour buffet circuit is the Proof of the Pudding, 7300 E. Hampden Avenue. It is a rit­zy establishment - a far cry from the English pub simplicity of the Bull and Bush. Valet parking, dressed-to-kill employees, ferns and stained glass set the scene. A hostess in a white satin jumpsuit directs ar­rivals to the action, while husky bouncers keep an eye peeled for the occasional, sloppily-attired ne'er-do­well.

It is a bar with two distinct, separate areas; upstairs caters to the over-40 crowd, with big-band and easy listening music floating out of the speakers, while the downstairs area appeals more to people under 30 with loud disco music and pu'rplish-red lanterns . resembling translucent plums. Both sections have their own complete buffets. Free, of course.

The downstairs has a simpler, smaller food table with salads, cheese-fruit plates and a taco bar, but the upstairs buffet is a grandiose arrangement fit for a king and his court. Two Greco-Roman statues stand guard over the feast, as if wat­ching for people who take too much food. A chef dressed in spotless whites skillfully carves a standing rib roast for sandwiches. Huge flower bouquets are arranged around the table, which consists of salads, cheeses, enchiladas, raviolis and a multitude of other hot and cold dishes.

"We sell environment and at­mosphere here," says General Manager Amil Ferraro. "Food is im­age, just like the club that has the food ... the ambiance of the room!"

Ferraro stresses that The Proof of the Pudding is always taking polls among customers as to what the club can do to improve or change the buf­fet set-ups.

"We respond to our polls in an ef­fort to keep our customers coming back and enjoying themselves," he . said. "We also have different buffets for different themes, such as Oktoberfest, where we serve Ger­man food."

STYLE Black Films Mixed Fare

by Gary N. Jones Reporter, The Metropolitan

The Denver Center Cinema's presentation of Black Films from the Library of Congress, is a mixed bag. The scripts are generally poor, the acting is stilted, and almost every film has major problems with con­tinuity and editing. However, the singing, the dancing, the jazz, and the big bands featured in the musicals are very entertaining. This is not to say that blacks could not produce good films, but black film production was less advanced than black music and dancing at the time. A black film industry did exist in the twenties, thirties, and forties, and it is time to acknowledge its place in American film history.

This reviewer previewed eight films to be shown as a part of the ten-part program.

The silent comedies starred Sam Robinson and were produced by Ebony Film Corporation. One of the films, A Black Sherlock Holmes, pro­bably will not be shown publicly due to severe deterioration. The other two shorts, Mercy the Mummy Mumbled and Come Back Bamucle Bill are badly deteriorated in places, but the talent of Sam Robinson is still clearly evident.

WEDNESDAY NOV. 23rd 12:00, 3:00, 5:30

$1.00

In these two shorts the acting is comparable to Hollywood produc­tions of the time.

The Exile (1931) is an early talker directed by Oscar Micheaux. The male lead, Charles Moore, is suave, debonair, and macho; the feeling one gets is that if white people had not been so prejudiced, Charles Moore may have been better known. The script for The Exile reaches for, and to a degree achieves, a sense of the harsh reality of being a black American in the '30s. The message is that drugs, illicit sex, booze, gambl- ~ ing and no education did not hinder "§. blacks so much as white prejudice. ~ The movie becomes a plea for equal ~ treatment for all people. ~

Dark Manhattan (1937) is about a ~ young man who rises quickly from ~ "the jungle" to the head of Harlem's g numbers rackets, only to become a a stiff - but he goes down Cagney­like with both guns blazing. The sets, editing, and continuity are the best of any film previewed, but stiff acting and awkward script hold this one back.

Honestly, the most entertaining movies were the musicals. Bipp Barn Boogie features a series of musical numbers, including a performance by a young Lena Horne. Swing

(1938) and Killer Diller (1948) are also stage shows, thinly wrapped in a plot. The acting continues to be stilted, but Nat King Cole's singing, Moms Mabley's humor, the Cong-a roos' acrobatic dancing and the other comedians, singers and dancers make this show lively.

A notable point about Killer Diller is its use of ethnic black dialect, which may be stereotyping, but it

gives the film a texture lacking in Dark Manhattan or The Exile.

These movies should be seen as they are a real part of America's heritage in films . Guest speakers will discuss the films prior to each pro­gram. The Black Film series run Nov. 18 through Dec. 20 at the Denver Center Cinema. Call 892-0983 for times and ticket infor­mation. D

down Fleet Street to his old barber shop.

The shop is vacant, but below lives Mrs. Lovett, maker of "the worst pies in London." Patricia Ken­nedy brin~ Lovett alive as a hard survivor who will get by at any cost, even down to baking cats into pies.

If you have only enough time or money to see one show this season, attend the tale of Sweeney Todd ... The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. There are reasons why it won eight Tony Awards in 1979, and Bonfils Theater has recreated everyr one.

Sweeney, played just over the fine edge of madness by Matthew Lau, stalks into London to find the judge who unjustly removed him to prison in an attempt to seduce beautiful Lucy, the barber's wife. He is a dark, brooding menace smoldering

She recognizes Sweeney, and tells him Lucy committed suicide rather than give in to the judge. She also hr- c

visually stunning sets Denver has ever seen in a community theater. When Mrs. Lovett's shop rolls onstage, it seems to come from the mouth of hell, and the seat in the barber chair drops with a sickening thunk as victims disappear to the bakeshop below, necks bloody and ragged.

Stephen Sondheim's scoring is beautifully conducted by Duain Wolfe of the Central City Opera House. Lighting, sound, costumes, musicians, crew and cast bring a total experience to the Bonfils stage that will leave quite an impression.

A sweeping bow to the Grand Dame of Denver theater for doing it with style! D

SPOHIS The Backboard is Back: It's Strictly Downtown by Dave ·Migoya Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

Much like the dormancy of a volcano, MSC Men's Varsity Basketball has been dead for six years. No longer. The fire that causes 6' 4" men to take an off-orange sphere and slam it through a metal hoop of roughly the same size has been rekindled. On behalf of the tall men at Auraria, thank you Bill Helman and Richard M. Fontera.

Fontera, president of MSC, and Helman, athletic director of MSC, have finally reinstated the program that this campus has been begging for. Among the 72 applicants for the coaching job, Bob Ligouri was the final choice. And a good one it is.

Ligouri, who will begin his coaching position next March 1, is presently the men's basketball coach and women's softball coach at Grand View Col­lege, in Des Moines, Iowa. He has had the distinction of never coaching a losing squad at the high school or collegiate level.

"We are elated to have an individual of Bob's talents and are impressed by -his record," Helman said. We are confident he will give our new program the early impetus it needs to become competitive."

Ligouri will begin his position by recruiting players for the November opening of the 1984,85 season. The team will compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II. ·

Fontera said Ligouri was chosen for the job not only because of his record as an outstanding basketball coach, but also because of his concern for the academic development of the student athletes he has coached and will coach at MSC. .

Since the team is new in comparison to the squads it will face in competi­tion, Helman said recruitment will be tough at first.

"It will take us a few years to build up a good program," he said. "I know we will do well because he (Ligouri) has recruitment experience and will sell the school."

Helman also said the majority of the team will be local talent, although he didn't rule out the possibility that out-of-state talent would play a key role.

"The team will hopefully consist of a mix of junior college transfers, local freshman and walk-on talent," he said.

The athletic department is trying to set up a fund from fund raisers.

federal grants and donations that would put MSC in the position to offer scholarships to incoming players and compete on the same scale as other area colleges.

According to Helman, the program was reinstated because there was a lot of pressure from within the campus. -

"There were a lot of people on campus who pushed hard to get the pro­gram started again," he said. "The fact that MSC has a new president helps a

lot too. He (Fontera) says a major competitive sport gives something to the college as far as s~lling goes. Although we don't stress athletics for enroll­ment, it is a nice thing to have."

In the past three years, Ligouri compiled a 50-34 record as coach of Grand View. Prior to that, he was assistant basketball coach for Grand View teams that boasted an 83-35 overall mark. During his tenure at Grand View, he led the squad to a No. 9 national ranking, produced three players who ultimate­ly played professional basketball and had two players named NAIA All­Americans.

SPORIS Kickers End. Season; Plan For Future

So, the end of another soccer season at MSC is here, but not without plans for the future.

Although Ken Wagner and Kevin Martynuska will not play with the Roadrunners next year. Assistant Coach Al Ashton is anxious to get the next season started.

"Harry (Temmer, head coach) and I are hoping to get most of the guys involved with indoor soccer over the winter," he said.

The idea of pre-season "training is further supplemented with the idea. of joining one of the city leagues in the spring. The problem, however,

. is more than half of.the players want to play· for other organizations so they can get some variety.

"I understand why the boys want to do that (play for other teams)," Ashton said. "It's nice if they can get a variety of soccer. But just think if we could play together for a whole year. Imagine what we'd do to the league with that kind of familiarity behind us."

The squad does have one thing to remember from the season:

"We lost more games by beating ourselves than by opponents beating us,'' Ashton said. 'Tm sure next season we'll have that covered.

Wilke Star Wrestler

by Dave Migoya Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

The MSC Wrestling team hosted some of the nations finest wrestlers on November 5 at the MSC Open. What was supposed to be just ex­posure for the MSC Grippers became the testing ground for strong talent.

"I couldn't believe how our guys could do so well against the likes of some of the country's best,'' head coach Don Sondgeroth said.

Do well they did. Although the team lost four wrestlers because of the ineligibility clause all collegiate sports have, Sondgeroth was deter­mined to field a team.

''I'm not the coaching type," he said. "What I really want is to give these guys a chance to wrestle if they're willing to give their all to do so. I don't care if I have only two wrestlers. As long as there's a tourna­ment to go to and I have determined wrestlers, I go."

One of the four wrestlers who stands out in Sondgeroth' s mind is Tom Wilke, who won two of the four matches he competed in at the Open.

"Tom has ,unbelievable amounts of deermination and dedication,'' he said. "That's what makes him such a good wrestler. It's a pleasure to work with him."

Wilke showed fantastic form in his victories, although a few mistakes kept him from going all the way. His determination is clear. He wants to be th!:! national champion in the 118-lb. division.

Sondgeroth announced Monday that Wilke and Joe York will be the co-captains for the 1983-84 season.

York is expected to return to prac­tice this week. A broken back has kept him idle since practices started.

The squad was supposed to attend the Rangely Double Dual last weekend, but only two wrestlers showed up. Sondgeroth felt it would be useless to go to a meet in which there was no chance for a victory.

Sondgeroth was not being hypocritical. Rather he saw the need to discuss the need to press his players to show to meets or can the program.

The future of the wrestling pro­gram lies in the hands of Bill Helman, MSC Athletic director, and Sondgeroth. They will . meet Sometime this week and decide whether or not it would be to MSC's benefit to have the idea.

Sondgeroth should stop and think about those wrestltirs who have high expectations for their future. D

Broncos' Front Office a Bush. League Operation For Some

by Karen Ziebell Reporter, The Metropolitan

It was just an average assignment. Any football fan/reporter would have loved it.

The Denver Broncos. Big stuff, right? _ However, a feature story on this town's favorite gridiron athletes and their

fans is not an easy thing to get. As the campus newspaper, The Metropolitan seemed a logical place for

such a story because Bronco fans not only go to school here, they also park on our lots during home games.

Armed with this knowledge, I left the newspaper office and ran straight into an NFL brick wall that was as bad as the famed Pittsburgh Steel Cur­tain defense.

It all began at Broncos' headquarters. Charles Lee, Broncos public relations director, was my first contact. After hearing who I was and what I wanted, Lee said the NFL had a rule

which prevents unaccredited newspapers and reporters from covering the team. He defined an accredited paper as one that covers the Broncos on a daily basis.

"You are not a real paper," he said. That's funny. Looks like a real paper to me. We've got headlines and

everything. So, having gone nowhere with Charlie Lee and his rules, I called Yolanda

Saltus, secretary to owner Edgar Kaiser. My request to her included a sidelines pass as well as an interview with

Kaiser on game day. Saltus said Kaiser's schedule on game days involves getting to Denver on

his jet and entertaining the visiting owner. "He doesn't have time for you," she said, "and, besides, he's been

overinterviewed already." If I'd ask her my questions, she said, she would give me his answers. Now, how could she do that? So, I asked her who else could I talk to? She answered by giving me

Charlie Lee's name. contimud on page 18

Broncos 'Stick It To' Met Reporter continued from page 17

Once again, I called the PR office and asked to talk to Mr. Lee. He was adamant about his rule, explaining that no one from any college

has ever gotten a pass on game day. He said he's tum down the University of Missouri, even though they have the best journalism school in the country.

That's cold. "We get thousands of requests a year from all over the country," he said.

"No one, not even UNC, can get one." He emphatically told me to forget it. He wasn't going to change the rules

just for me. I then asked if I could get an interview with Dan Reeves, head coach of the

Broncos. Lee said I could get maybe five minutes. At 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

On the practice field. Valiantly, I tried to explain that five minutes doesn't make a very strong,

well-written feature story. Lee was outraged. "I'm supposed to tell Coach Reeves to give you a couple of hours when he's

~ in the middle of the season and swamped with practices, meetings and press ~ people?," he shouted. "No one even reads your paper. It's just a college :_ paper. If you were Sports Illustrated I'd help you."

The next level of authority was New York. I spoke to an aide-de-camp for Fran Connors, director of information of the AFC. H anyone knows the rules, he would.

After hearing my saga, his aide chuckled a bit and put me on hold. When the aide got back to the phone, she said there was no league rule

barring me from the sidelines and, as far as New York was concerned, I could do anything I wanted.

She said each team makes its own decisions and I should really talk to -who else? - Charlie Lee.

Instead, I called Jim Saccomano, an employee of the Broncos' public rela­tions department. He is a former MSC student, who wrote for The Metropolitan. He heard my story and said he could see no problem with a stadium pass which would give me ac~ to anywhere but the sidelines.

But it was not to be. On Tuesday Saccomano changed his mind and said that the Broncos organization had a policy barring weekly papers from the stadium because of "a lack of space." He accused me of trying to "stick it to the Broncos," without being concerned over getting a story.

He suggested an alternative to the stadium. I was allowed to come out on any day (preferably Wednesday) to the practice field and headquarters in order to get my story.

Since college journalists are only "practicing" for the real world, I suppose they deserve to see a "practice" game.

And all for 6-5 team. May I ask just who are the professionals? 0
