Teachers learning Michael Johnson resigns high-tech
by Kevin ·Vaughan
The Alternative Learning Center of Denver-Auraria Community College is helping its faculty and staff keep up with advances in technology by offering courses in computer literacy.
According to Dave Knauber, coordinator of the Alternative Learning Center, DACC purchased 24 microcomputers about a year ago with money from a Title III Federal grant.
The main thrust of the program is to offer faculty and staff the opportunity to gain literacy in the computer field - a field which has seen tremendous advances in the past years.
Knauber said these advances have made the microcomputer much easier to operate and learn about, which has helped to ~pate some of the phobias that · faculty may have about mastering computers.
The faculty is offered three curricula to choose from, including one which gives staff members the chance to develop a problem and then work it out on the computer. Knauber said some faculty and staff members are given release time, in which parttime . replacements are brought in while they learn.

IBlll {CPS)- The nation's communit}' and junior colleges will have to create new "high tech" associate degrees soon or face becoming obsolete, a task force on two-year degrees warned in a report issued last . May.
The task force also suggested that schools start working with businesses to add credibility to two-year degrees.

. Following a year of challenges, including student apathy and an administration that was reluctant to take his office seriously, MSC Student Government President Michael Johnson announced that he will resign September 16.
Johnson, who was elected president of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College l~ December,
, plans to "take a year off and relax," before pursuing a degree in Law. Johnson graduated from MSC in August with a degree in Criminal Justice.
"I think we've made tremendous gains in building relationships on campus."
Johnson talked about goals and achievements he felt marked his term of office:
"More than anything else, I think we've made tremendous gains in building better relationships on campus," Johnson said.
"Previously, the (MSC) Administration had not given Student Government very much respect. We've done a lot to change that attiJ:ude, we've had regular meetings with the President, and tho5e meetings have been produc-ti .. ve.
"There's a careful balance there - sometimes we've found it best to assume an adversary relationship with the administration, and other times we've found it best to work in partnership with them. I'm proud that we could do both without worrying about repercussions, .. Johnson said.
In additiorr, Johnson said he had made an extra effort to improve ·the relationship between MSC_ student government and the student governments of UCD and DACC.
"This is the first year that I know of where all three student governments have had a good working relationship,"

Johnson said. "Before, a great. deal of politics was infighting. There was always something going on behind your back. This year we've made tremendous gains in making strategies and presenting a unified front on is.sues important to all the students at Auraria. Hashing out the issues beforehand has been crucial to achieving our goals. It's been particularly effective with the Student Facilities Policy Council (SFPC) in getting the voice of the students heard."
Johnson is also pleased with the results of the reorganization in the Student Activities Office, which placed student co-ordinators in charge of planning and administrating activities.
"Its always been my opinion that students should be a bigger part of managing their student fees," Johnson said. "The reorganization goes a long way in putting the control back into the hands of students."
Johnson also was happy with the ultimate defeat of ' House Bill 1510, which would have prevented the use of student fees by any club without explicit endorsement from the students. Johnson said the bill, which was aimed specifically at the Colorado Public Research Interest Group (CoPIRG) would have been a serious threat "to student government itself," by virtually stripping them of the power to make decisions on behalf of the students.
"That was important. Defeating that bill effected ' students statewide, not just at Auraria,., And in the process we were able to make MSC more visible in the community. I'd say that in the last year we were heard from in the community more often than any other campus," he said.
johnson enrolled at MSC in 1979, and became involved in campus politics his second semester, when he took a seat on the Judicial Board. From there, Johnson went on as elected chair of Legal Services and also served on the Curriculum Committee.
Johnson decided to run }or student government president last fall after he was approached by students who felt he was the right man for the job.
Johnson initially lost to now-vice president Brendan Kelly in an election that was ' voided because of problems with the voting machine, and also because Kelly's running mate was determined ineligible to run for student government office. Kelly and Johnson moved onto the same ticket, and won the second election with 255 votes.
The only regret Johnson expressed was an inability to get students - particularly older students and those taking night classes - more involved in student·government.
"What I'd really like to see the next administration do, is concentrate on reaching out to the students," he said. "It was something I wanted very much, but the ideas I had didn't work that well. I thought that we should keep evening hours, make ourselves available to night students. But during the whole •time only three students came in at night.
"Younger students seem to take advantage of what student government and student activities can offer them, but older students don't. We're not filling that void, somehow."
Johnson said that Auraria and MSC may be losing him in any official capacity, but that he plans to stay involved in the campus through the years.

Computer degrees continued from page 1 have," explains Jim Mahoney, spokesman for the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, which sponsored the task force to "redefine the associate degree."
The task force advises community and jun~or colleges to develop minimum competency standards for students to meet before they can get their degrees.
The report also says twoyear schools must work more closely with local businesses and develop closer ties to area high schools and four-year colleges.
Most immediately, the report urges schools to work with businesses to develop high-tech curricula that adequately train grads for jobs.
"Refusal to acknowledge this (high tech) phenomenon can result in deterioration of preparation for careers in technical areas," the report warns.
Of the 100 two-year schools the task force surveyed, 71 said "high technology has already influenced their curriculum and that new (high
tech) programs should be developed."
It's enough to worry Nolen Ellison, president of Cuyahoga Community .College in Cleveland, who contends "we should not emphasize high tech programs to the exclusion of jobs in science, health, food preparation and other service areas such as the secreterial and clerical fields." 0
Computers required
(CPS)Entering freshmen at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey and Clarkson College of Technology in New York are the first in the U.S. who have to buy microcomputers from their schools as a condition of enrollment.
Clarkson students, who registered August 25th & 26th, pay $200 a term extra for the computers, which they'll own after four years.
If they drop out or transfer before that, they lose the machines.
The second program allows staff members the chance to bring in an entire class and teach word processing and computer literacy.
There is also a class which concentrates on developing more advanced computer skills.
Knauber said that about 50 staff members have partici p if. ted in the three seminars which have been held so far. He said another class should get underway soon.
"In the first hour they're in there we'll try to get them doing something on the computer," Knauber said.
DACC faculty will soon be polled for their reaction to the program, but the idea has been well received by the faculty.
And while no one thinks that teachers will ever become obsolete, the ability to handle a computer is

becoming increasingly important for educators.
"The micro-computers are not going to replace teachers," Knauber said. "But what will replace a teacher that can't use a microcomputer is one that can."
Knauber said some f acuity members are learning such advanced techniques as writing computer programs that they can use, while others are starting from
ground zero and learning the basics.
He has been assisted in the program by Sally Conway, Kathy Miles and William Sheppard. Conway, directory of the Title Ill Program, wrote the basic curriculum while Miles and Sheppard have been working part-time on the program.

Cold war death in the sky by Keith Levise
The original UPI story said the incident began when a South Korean television report said th~ CIA had informed the Seoul government that Korean Air Lines F1ight _007 had been forced to land in Soviet territory. The vice president of KAL, who earlier thought the plane may have been hijacked, said the last contact with 007 was made by Tokyo radio at 1:23 p.m. - 23 minutes after the time the Seoul government reported the plane had safely landed. The only thing they neglected to mention, it seems, was the fact that the plane didn't land at all, but was instead shot down by a Soviet fighter about a hundred miles into Soviet territory while passing over a Soviet military installation. The passengers, initially reported to be safe, turned out to be dead.
Beyond these facts lies the trap of raw emotions - a dark and _dangerous place where reckoning becomes a burden. (Some have even proclaimed the attack to be the opening shots of World War III.) Those who wish to reject this notion now face the unpleasant task of thinking their way through a mountain of information made available since last week.
The official U.S. position is that the airline, either through a human or technical error, inadvertently "strayed" into Soviet territory where it was carelessly, routinely destroyed by a Soviet fighter. Some people say the pilots ,IJlay have punched the wrong coordinates into their navigational computers, or that the computer~, three in all, may have malfunctioned, or that they may not have malfunctioned, but could have been programmed by a cassette tape which contained inaccurate information.
The Soviets, who are inclined to believe 007 was spying for the CIA, said their fighters pursued the plane for a long time, that they made numerous attempts to contact the pilots, that they would not respond to radio, that their navigational lights were off, and that they didn't react to warning tracer shots.
Even if the radio wasn't working, the warning rockets, which must have
been highly visible in the dark should have prompted the pilots to begin a descent - that is, if the pilots were in control. For all anyone knows, the original suggestion of a hijacking may have been correct. It could possibly explain the lack of response to Soviet signals. Unless the black boxes are retrieved, which is unlikely, the world may never know the truth. .
Regardless, the barrage of allegations and questions will continue. My big question is this: Since the U.S. and Japanese governments monitored the incident from beginning to end, knowing full well that the doomed plane was travelling through restricted Soviet territory, why weren't they warned? The plane cruised through Russia for at least two houi's before it was destroyed. Authorities could have easily contacted civilian ground controllers, who might have been able to contact the plane. In two hours time, the U.S., South Korea and Japan could have all had lengthy conversations with the Kremlin. But there is no evidence that they did anything whatsoever to help. Western governments, now loudly complaining about the Russians, seem to have just sat back and watched it happen.
F1i11:ht 007 will be remembered for a long time - the human tragedy was ~vere. Unfortunatel}'., it will also be remembered for its propaganda value. For, in a sense, the passengers were victims of not just a rocket attack, but of the "state of seige" mentality which pervades the world. This mentality originates in the Cold War policies of the United States and Soviet Union. Together, our two nations have "wired" every .corner of the globe, for sight, for sound, and ultimately, for destruction. It is ironic and disgusting that our government, which is shocked and outraged over the death of 269 civilians, has within its ranks, men who would not cringe or shed a tear over the death of untold millions in a "limited" nuclear war.
While thinking over 007, we would do well to remember that the Russian people did not shoot it down, but some young fool in a uniform did. He was, of course, following orders. It could've happened in any nation, (including thi~ one), but it happened in Russia . . . a fact we will not be allowed to forget. D
Of all the lies that plague us the best lies in Las Vegas
' .
by Carson Reed
One of the primary goals of Jl(iucation is to teach us the outright lies, halftruths and near-truths that make the world simple enough to understand. A good example of this is taxonomy, the somewhat arbitrary science of _deciding how plants and animals are related to each other. For botanists and biologists faced with umpteen jillion living things all swimming around in their brains, taxonomy is a useful thing, even though they know that no solid line divides the first, second, and third cousins of this planet. If everything evolved from a single-celled protoplasm (or whatever it was), then we are all relatives of a sort and taxonomy is nothing more than an elaborate lie. Such lies are the tools of comprehension. Without them nothing would make sense.
My least-favorite lie is: "i after e except following c." That particular rule of thumb has been screwing up my spelling since childhood, and someone else will have to edit this column to make sure I got them all straight.
My favorite lie is the Law of Averages. That's the rule which says that over a long enough period of time random events will all even themselves out into predictable patterns. Las Vegas is run on the law of averages, and very successfully.
Nevertheless, no such law is on any book, including the cosmic book that tells the universe what to do. At any given time, anything can happen - anyone who disbelieves this has never spent time at the handrail of a craps table. I watched a fellow roll sevens and elevens for 20 minutes once. That was long enough for one fellow to make a neat ten grand or so, while people like myself meekly placed $5 on the pass line, expecting the law of averages to take effect at any moment. Understandably, the casino was counting heavily on that law to halt, cease, and desist the gentleman with the lucky hands. No dice. The casino, with all of its chips in the basket of its "law," had to content itself with the long-haul and politely surrender its money to the stark reality of "anything
(C can happen." In the meantime, the spoils went to the man with a "nose" for §i luck. ~ Such it is with ~l things future. We can dissect, analyse, categorize, and,
ultimately, make reasonable projections based on the information we have. But the truth still remains: anything can happen - and probably will.
So, if no one can safely predict what the future holds, what's the point in losing sleep over it? The answer to that is, no matter how much money a hotshooter can take from the Sahara in 20 minutes, the Sahara is still there, and still making sufficient profits to light all those baroque ~eon signs. Setting down the ground rules for some good, useful lies about the future is a sound, practical, and reasonably secure way to help ensure there will be a future.
But, in addition to such prosaic planning; I should like to recommend that more of us be more like the fellow who recognized luck when he saw it, picking up ten grand while the rest of us watched, stupefied. Put your nose in the air and smell what's going on around you, Mastering the future takes more than the useful lies of education. It takes listening to the voice of your own intui-fum. . ·
Take a deep breath and listen to the static of today. Do you feel the electricity in the air? Lately, I've felt as though the entire country is arising froma pleasant, decade-long nap. The nation (the people part, not the government part) seems to be primed for action - ready to take off in whatever mysterious new directions chance takes us.
This renewed enthusiasm is in large part due to the new lies which educators are coming up with - lies that are much more useful to us than the old lies were. Adequately armed with the tools needed to comprehend the world, we are beginning to display some of the native confidence that some people thought had permanently deserted the American character. The new lies are not only antiethical to the old lies (such as taxonomy), but are more closely aligned with the kind of intuitive nose-sniffing that makes some men rich while the majority of us watch on in fascination.
In other words, the new rules are not only more useful, but also closer to the truth, whatever that is. They encourage us to let a little metaphysical chancetaking slip into the rigid grid of systematic thinking. It may be the single-most exciting thing going on, since, someday, we may actually be able to tap into the inscrutable logic of the world without the superstructure of classific~tion.
Someday, education may be more than a bastard third cousin to the truth, and we can move confidently into the future knowing anything can happen -and probably will: D

/
I hope that you were able to get all the classes that you needed. We feel that this semester should be a good one and we hope that you will take some time out to become better iiiformed and involved in our school and the campus. We have some major problems facing us this year. l: Parking is a problem, and it will become worse when-..we lose parking spaces to the Tivoli next fall. We have a number of ideas but if you would give us some input as to what you would like to see done, maybe this problem can be alleviated. 2: There are still a number of committees open and without students on the committees we have no way of making our voices heard. 3: Your student government is about to make some_major changes in the Constitution. We want to give you the students more input and are going to try to put together a Student Senate. This would provide for a larger number of students in the decision making process. 4: Our student activities is in need of people with ideas or people that would just like to help with events, so if you have some free time go and see them in Room 153 of the Student Center.
I hope you all have a very good year and that you don't have to work too hard. Sorry the letter is so short but I have a class load of 23 hours and hava to run to class. Thank you Brendan M. Kelly

DAGG President welcomes students Hi,
Let's start with me taking this opportunity to welcome back all the DACC (Denver Auraria Community College) students to school. The summer vacation-party is over, and it's time to start studying seriously. Since it is the beginning of the school year, now is the time to meet new people by joining the DACC Student Representative Council (student government). If you would Ulce to be involved in taking part in planning student events on campus, join a few student or~anizations. The DACC allows you the right to voice your valid credences before/during the event of specific campus projects. Thus far the DACC Student Council has voiced their opinion by retaining the Auraria Vending Machines below a six-cent cost increase. There also was a great concern about the appearance of the South Classroom lobby. The idea had been discussed at a few committee m~tings. Thanks to Dr. Myer Titus, who is the DACC Campus Vice President, the lobby was remodeled over this past summer. Those two realistic issues are only a few of the many topics that are discussed at major Board Meetings.
A sizable number of the DACC faculty and staff members have assisted the · Student Representative Council throughout the Spring and Summer semesters.
I'm looking forward to working with the same individuals again this semester. Remember, if you have a compliment or complaint about any DACC
policy, call 629-2532 or drop in our offices at the Student Center on the thlrd level in room 340-B. I
Respectfully, Armanda L. Olvera, President DACC Student Representative Council

lsa Lopez de Jait is the 28-year-old mother of two who mysteriously disappeared after Argentinian army officers for-eibly took her from her home. They had come in search of her sister.
Dazia Sogoba is a dedicated teacher in Mali who was imprisoned for belonging to an independent teachers' union.
Dr. Justin Yac is a physician and a form~member of Sudan's Parliament, held under indefinite detention wi.thout charge or trial.
Lee Chul is a student currently serving a 20-year sentence in South Korea on charges of espionage and "anti-state activities," after being accused of communist sympathies, a charge which he denies.
And so the list continues, from country to coun~ try, from East to West, a scattering of thousands of victims of unbelievable and flagrant injustice encircling the planet.
What do these people have in common, aside from their shared misery and isolation? Each of _ them, and thousands more like them, were imprisoned because of their convictions, despite th~ fact that none of them used or advocated violence. And each of these private citizens, powerless in his or her own right, has had their plight brought to international public attention by Amnesty Internatfonal.
In the 22 years since its founding by Londonbased lawyer Peter Beneson, Amnesty International has proven to be one of the most highly effective and dedicated human rights organizations in existence.
When Amnesty International received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977, the Nobel committee described it as "the most powerful lobbying group in tht\' world for human rights."
With more than 300,000 members in over 150 countries, Amnesty International is a truly worldwide movement essentially working toward four goals: the release of prisoners of conscience, fair trials for political prisoners, an end to all tor: ture and the abolition of the death penalty.
Since 1961, the group has intervened on behalf of more than 20,000 prisoners.
· Throughout the last two deca,des, Amnesty International has remained completely independent of any government, ideology, economic interest or religious creed. This carefully preserved impartiali-,. ty has enhanced the group's international influence and respect.
Amnesty lnternational's only loyalty is to the 'prisoners themselves. It operates under the belief that the existence of prisoners of conscience is "an affront to all humanity. They should be freed unconditionally." ·
Amnesty's mandate is based upon the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, • which affirms fundamental human rights that transcend boundaries of nation, culture, and belief.
The advocacy of Ainnesty International is conditional: to gain it a prisoner must have been jailed"" because of his cir her beliefs, color, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion. In addition, Amnesty refuses to come to the aid of prisoners who have used or advocated violence.

Amnesty International
September 7, 1983
Stephen Miller, writing in the Ma_rch, 1978 issue of Commentary, accused Amnesty of "an automatic distrust of all rightist governments and an equally
· automatic desire to give leftist governments ... the benefit of the doubt."
Yet AI is sternly reprimanded in leftist quarters as well. More than once, cqmmunist nations have accused Amnesty International of functioning as a tool of the · CIA, fabricating or exaggerating human rights abuses in order to discredit interna-tional communism. -
In reality, Amnesty conQerns itself solely with prisoners, rather than nations, systems, or ideologies. AI atteinpts to protect individuals from
~8_.t.j~-"""'---•----Jlll:-..--..it-- the abuses of government, not to judge whether a paticular form of government is right or wrong. As Martin Luther King once said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." By focusing on individual victims of government abuses, Amnesty inevitably draws attention to the gross faults of many governments, but leaves the responsibility for tra~forming governments to others. ..
The heart and s0ul of the Amnesty program is the "cell group," which normally adopts three prisoners: one in a communist country, one in a non-communist country, and one in a '!non-aligned" Third World nation. To guarantee impartiality, the cell groups do not work for prisoners in their own countries.
The adopting group, which usually consists of , from three to five people, sends letters, cards, and
telegrams on behalf of the prisoner. The mail may · · go to highly-placed government officials, em
bassies, companies, or prison officials. In addition, cell groups attempt to improve the
prisoner's morale with letters, phone calls (when permitted), f~d, medicine, clothing, and money for both prisoners and their families.
For AI, this personalized approach has proved bjghly effective, but action doesn't- .stop there. Amnesty keeps issues of torture and other human rights violations before the international press. One journalist recently wrote that the only reason torture is considered a major international problem is due to "Amnesty International's years of relentless campaigning on the issue."
"'
''The letters kept coming: . 3,000 ·of them. The President was informed. The letters still kept ar~ riving and the President called the prison and told them to let me go. "
Amnesty is indeed relentless, aiid to some gov~rnments disturbingly and persistently so. According to Ireland's former foreign minister Sean McBride (longtime chairman of Al's executive committee and recipient of the 1974 Nobel Peace Prize): "The avalanch of mail is the biggest annoyance to most governments. Soon the issue is being raised at Cabinet level, and everyone is wondering whether the prisoner is worth all the trouble. The answer is frequently 'no'."
Although AI never claims sole responsibility for gaining a prisoner's release, they are clearly and dramatically e{fective. Of 16,000 prisoners they assisted between 1961 and 1977,. 10~600 l;iave been released.
Julio de Pena Valdez, a labor organizer in the Dominican Republic, wrote: "When the first 200 letters came the guards gave me back my clothes. Then the next 200 lettes came and the prison director came to see me. When the next pile of letters arrived, the director got in touch with his superior. The letters kept coming: 3,000 of them. The President was informed. The letters still kept arriving and the President called the prison and told them to let me go."
Another former prisoner in Taiwan wrote, "I wjll never forget how I was moved to tears when unexpectedly I was handed in a solitary.cell a brief letter from Amnesty International."
Predictably, Amnesty has received harsh criticism from a'wide variety of sources. Idi Amin once called for solidarity of all governments to unite against Al; they have long been accused of either communist or capitalist sympathies. Some in the West view Amnesty as a Soviet front, a tool of Moscow used to discredit "democracy." Because so many atrocities have have occurred in U.S.-supported regimes such as El Salvador, when Amnesty brings those abuses to international attention they are suspected of functloning as a communist front attempting to undermine American influence in the Third World.
It is hard to overestimate the urgent necessity for such an organization worldwide. Words can scarcely convey the sense of helplessness endured by those AI seeks to help. When he accepted the Nobel in 1982, author Gabriel Garcia Marquez tried to describe an incredible gap of understanding between the Industrialized West -and his Latin American sisters and brothers. "Our crucial problem has been a· lack of conventional means to render our lives believable. This, my friends, is the crux of our solitude." The same dilemma characterizes prisoners of conscience throughout the world.
Amnesty International is valiently and effectively attempting to convey the truth of their terrifying realities, and to transform their terror into hope. In an increasingly brutal world, the message comes home to our calloused hearts: these people are real.

The Denver chapter of Amnesty International opened in July, and is in need of new members. The group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Shalom House, 1361 Detroit, at 7:30 p.m. In addition, the national office for "Urgent Action" networking is located in Nederland. Ellen Harrison, who runs urgent action offiee with her husband Scott said "emergency action is often required for prisoners in -crisis. We distribute that infonnation to groups who mmediately wire telegrams and make phone calls on behalf of a prisoner in jeopardy."
Harrison also said six campuses in Colorado now have campus chapters of Amnesty International. Campus groups are primarily involved in "awareness" activities, informing students of the work done by AI. In addition, many students become "urgent action" volunteers, and some get involved in cell groups. Students interested in fonning a campus chapter of AI shou1d write to Craig Rock, Campus Network, 730 Peachtree, Suite 1000, Atlanta, Georgia, 30308.

Frazetta and Ralph Bakshi have united their talents to create one of this century's greatest animated films: Fire and Ice. A story about a battle that would have taken place millenniums ago, in a time when Nekron, the Warlord of Ice, would have tried to take over the world through the use of sorcery and magic.
Larn was the only · man who could stop Nekron. This mortal fought Nekron's dogs, the subhumans, who helped destroy his home and people on their way to their ultimate gain - the volcanic kingdom of King J arol. This was to be done by Nekron making a deal that J arol could not refuse. He had his dogs Kidnap Princess Tigre, Jarol's only daughter. She miraculously escaped from her captors and stumbled into the arms of Larn.
The romance then began, but what mor.e could be expected from the world's fantasy art masters, Frazetta and Bakshi?
Without being told that these two did the art work, just once glance as it would assure the typical follower that they had done it.
The characters fit the typical Frazetta humans. These include large-breasted women and muscle-bound males, with experienced situations that added for an adventurous plot which consisted of little details that somehow managed to intertwine themselves. For this screen play, writers Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway should be honored.
They are not the only pair that should receive ree!<?gni-
tion. Frazetta and Bakshi should receive the sciencefantasy artists of the year awards for producing not only some of the best work of their careers, but also for creating some of the most outstanding background work that moviegoers have ever been exposed to. 0

The Comedy Works, Denver's premiere comedy nightclub, celebrated its Second Anniversary and Grand Opening of the Chez Grins Restaurant located above the club at the 15th Street level.
At Chez Grins, the term "restaurant" is rather loose and misleading. Although a variety of appetizers, homemade stews, sandwiches -and salads are served, the action seems to be centered around the bar.
The atmosphere there is lively, partly due to the outrageous decor and equally due to the outrageously clothed guests. Swizzle-stick twirlers and 12-oz. curlers mingled easily in the comfor- · table setting.
Old-fashioned ceiling fans provide a bit of historic antiqueness . to the building that was the Cabaret. Another fixture adding to this modest setting is the brass footrest on the base of the bar· (or is it really there to help in lifting oneself off the floor?). Fin-
ding it can be difficult through the jungle-vined maze of intertwined legs of checkered socks and hushpuppies, but don't give up, it's there somewhere.
Situated in the center of the · Larimer Square court-yard is the patio where the "silly but elegant" atmosphere is ideal for listening to sparrows chirp in nearby trees while enjoying . dessert. The only thought you might continuously ponder is if your pie will be served a-lamode or a-la-bird.
Dining and cocktails may be enjoyed at Chez Grins weekdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
The Comedy Works' shows are presented Sundays through Thursdays at 9 p.m. .and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 and 11 p ,m. Mondays
are "New Talent Night" when the area's most promising newcomers to comedy are featured. Tuesday is "Improv Night" featuring the creative "Scenic Overbite" in their current show "Cinder Blocks and Other Things That Bounce". Wednesdays through Sundays feature guest headline acts who have appeared at such noted clubs as The Improv (Hell's Kitchen to Hollywood) in New York and Las Vegas, The ParadiSe in Aspen and Denver's Turn of the Century.
The Co~edy Works, now settled in its newly remodeled location at 15th and Larimer Streets in Larimer Square, became a full-time comedy nightclub in 1981.
For information and reser vations call 595-3637 or 592-1178.
The Comedy Works continues to entertain humor lovers whole Chez Grins will attempt to satisfy your palate. Two things are guaranteed: you'll laugh heartily in the club and be served in the restaurant with ... what else? Agrinl 0

Welcome to the world of athletics once again sports fans.
This week we're going to leave the world of big-time college athletics and talk about something closer to home, intramurals.
Intramurals are all of those fun sports such as football, floor-hockey, and volleyball that our dedicated staff at Campus Recreation provide for all of us "average" athletes.
Some of you folks may look at intramurals as just fun and
. games, and _rightfully so.

Open Challenge MSC beats Regis
by Dave Migoya . What do you call a team
without its star scorer? A team without a chance. Maybe, but someone forget to tell the MSC Men's Varsity Soccer Team.
Senior goalie Rob Butler played a tremendous first half. His best save was a diver against a free kick. He was relieved bv Freshman Mike Fehr, a former Sheridan High School All-American.
They are there just for that -to provide a little R&R and escape from the pressures of everyday life. But there is more to intramural sports than just R&R. Intramurals are also there for those of use who like to compete.
This year for the first time in Auraria's short history, a fraternity is going to take the field for a season of flag football. Coincidentally, it happens to be the same fraternity which I belong to, Delta Sigma Phi. We're psyched to take on some of you "weekend warriors" this season. So for all of you out there who like to compete and think you can field a good team, I've got a little challenge for you. Do it! We'll be waiting for you. It's that simple.
To sign up you have to send a representative to the Campus Recreation window PERH building on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 5 p.m. That's tomorrow folks. The people at Campus Recreation will give you all of the pertinent details. The next thing you
need to do is practice. There will be some good times out there, believe me.
These intramural leagues have been set up for you, the student. It's your student fees that are funding this program. It's only in your best interest to take full advantage of where your money is being spent. · Do yourselves a favor and
get involved. It beats sitting around drinking barley pop, trying to look like Tommy "The Gut" Lasorda. Save that for after the game. D

Country team will face stiff competition at the WSC Invitational this Saturday at Gunnison, Colorado, but coach Brian Jannsen feels that his squad will do well. Leading the team will be twotime All-Americans John Liese and Charles Blueback. Jannsen also feels that Freshman Todd Manns will turn in a respectful rookie performance.
The Varsity squad defeated a strong Regis team, 3-0, Saturday afternoon despite the absence of two-time AllAmerican Lorne Donaldson.
In their first game of the 1983 NAIA season, the team showed powerful defense an'l outstanding speed amidst the realiry of re-building their . mid-field.
"We lost our entire midfield to graduation and in-
' eligibility," assistant coach Al Ashton said. "Without a super-star-scorer like Donaldson, we have to apply a total team-oriented game. Our 'no-goals-patrol' defense and offensive play was a beautiful example of that."
Lorne Donaldson and Jeff Fletcher are academically ineligible to play. Marcus Motte and Phil Denning are gone because they graduated.
What do you do? You give the ball to an eager offense and watch them fly, that's what.
The second half began on an exciting note. Sumlin took a shot and hit the post. Junior forward Juan Hernandez took the rebound only to hit the post himself. A Regis foul allotted Sumlin a free kick. Making a nice fake, he passed to Hernandez who glided the ball past the diving goalie.
Junior Jose Aguirre obtained an assist when he lofted a perfect pass to Sophomore Dave Yarrington who scored MSC's second goal.
A speedy Marty Richardson hit the goal post, but Freshman Jeff Pond grabbed the rebound to score giving Richardson an assist.
Senior Co-Captain Kevin Martynuska attempted to score at various times only to see his aggressiven~ rewarded with a yellow card warning for ungentlemanly conduct.
The next Varsity home game is Saturday, September 10th vs. Colorado School of Mines at 2 p.m. 0

department reorganization ... '

by Robin Heid
Perhaps the most frequent question asked of risk sport participants by nonparticipants is "Why do you do it?" And, like as not, the most frequent response is some semi-coherent variation of "Because it's a)Fun; b)Fast; c)Fantastic; d)There." The questionees, on the other hand, often have difficulty elucidating their answers because, when the parameters of reason have been reached, they just follow the Joy Vector, and that's kind of hard to explain. So, in the interest of luring more of you into risk (the more risk takers, the better!), here's a Wild Life Guidebook look at why we do it.
The key to understanding why lies in realizing that risk is closely correlated to reward. Like any human endeavor, you get out of sport what you put into it; the greater the cost of your commitment, the greater the benefits you'll accrue as a result.
Take bicycling, for example. Now, you can spend a hundred bucks on a bike for tooling around parks and greenways on weekends. And that is certainly enjoyable. But it's kind of low on the reward scale because you're not risking much, not making that much of a commitment. You aren't spending much money or time and, most importantly, you aren't committing yourself to much physical risk.
If you get into bicycle rac-ing, however, the risk/reward equation changes significantly. First, you get into four figure expenditures for equipment. Next, you're devoting many hours per week to training. And last, you're committing yourself to the possibility of painful and sometimes very serious injuries; racers hit speeds of 30-45 mph on level ground and th~ regular crashes which occur are generally sudden and grinding. But with this additional risk comes a proportional increase in reward. Just ask some racer how it feels to win. Or to finish "respec-
..,,_ tably." Or even to finish ... What you'll find is a level of satisfaction, accomplishment and pleasure that makes the fun of weekend cruising seem like standing in line at the post office.
And when you get into sports like rock climbing or hang gliding, where you are
committing not only time and money but your very life to the equation, the risks and rewards take on an even more interesting aspect.
"Rock climbing gives you things other sports don't," says Randy Leavitt, an accomplished climber and former instructor at the Bob Culp climbing school in Boulder. "An average sport like tennis won't expose you to the things climbing does. Climbing can expose you to all these bad situations ... things you can relate to your life that will make you a better person. It's not like going out to play tennis and the only thing you have to deal with is getting pissed off at yourself or your partner."
It is thi:. ability of risk sport to heighten one's awareness of life and self that makes it so powerfully alluring and eminently satisfying to its participants. Of course, the fact that adrenalin makes cocaine seem like drinking coffee has something to do with it, too. But we'll talk about that some other time. O

The PERH department has been reorganized this year, after an interim study group commissioned by MSC Dean of Education Charles Branch made several recommendations on improving Auraria's response to student needs regarding campus recreation, intercollegiate athletics and PE.
The reorganization calls for an upgrading of intercollegiate athletics and campus recreation to an equal level with the PERH department.
In the past, the directors of both intercollegiate athletics (Bill Helman) and campus recreation (Dick Feuerborn) reported to the chairperson of the PERH department, Dr. Frank Powell, who in turn answered to Dr. Charles Branch, MSC's Dean of Education.
The changes were brought about through students voicing the need for expanded use of recreational and athletic facilities.

What this means for students is increased use of the school's facilities during the week and on weekends. For example, Feuerborn points out that students will now be able to use the facilities on Sunday, a first on the Auraria Campus. "Our hours are now increased by 33 percent," said Feuerborn. '-'Campus recreation is important to this campus. We used to be a well-kept secret, but now I want to broadcast that secret," he added. Fortunately for students, the reorganization was designed to allow for expansion in the future.
"They've given us a lot of room to grow," Feuerborn said.
Like Feuerborn, Helman is as equally enthusiastic. "It'll help both of us with our image on campus," he said. Helman sees the reorganization as a big step in tne right direction. It's a very positive step... a lot of background was put into it," he sajd.
Helman also believes that the reorganization will change the thinking of the Auraria community commenting, "It's a physical restructuring as well as mental." Helman and Feuerborn both agree that there will be no problems in accomplishing the goals of the reorganization. "The three of us will work well together," Helman said refering to Feuerborn, Powell, and himself. ·
The man who is orchestrating this reorganization is the head of the School of Education, Dr. Charles Branch. He realized there was a need for a change in the PERH department and w~ instrumental in bringing i\, about. "We've gone through significant changes ... necessary based on the growth of the institution," Branch said. He believes that the reorganization will "fulfill the student's and community's needs through expansion and satisfy the great need to provide growth for all three areas."
