Insidious virus

World Trade boost to college,

" Denver economy Gary J. Salvucci Reporter

It took two years for Metro to open Denver's ,._ World Trade Center, but only four minutes for

1.,, Gov. Roy Romer to cut the nbbon at the opening ceremony Monday, Nov. 28.

--

MSC President Thomas Brewer, Asmtant Secretary of Commerce Louis Kramer, Deputy Mayor John Brozig and Denver Chamber of Commerce President Richard C.D. Fleming all joined the governor for a ride in a cherry picker 40 feet in the air to cut the ribbon.

Romer and his assistants grappled with a wire cutter to cu~ the nbbon stretched between the twin towers of Dome and Bank Western at 16th Street and Court P1ace. A crowd of about 1,000 cheered when the cable holding the nbbon finally snapped.

MSC will have a special relationship with the World Trade Center, according to Brewer. MSC, partially responsible for bringing the WTC to Denver, will provide educational services.

'!--- Denver's center is now a member of an aswciation of world trade centers intended to provide services that encourage international trade. It will provide office space, communica­tions facilities, translation and educational services.

MSC sought the license for the WTC two years ago. Now Metro shares licensee respon­sibilities for the center with the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce, the Governor's Office of Economic Development, the Federal District Export Council and BCE Development Prop­erties, Inc.

During the.ceremonies, Romer spoke opti­mistically, giving a sales pitch about the future of Denver in international trade.

He said he pictured foreign businessmen being attracted to Denver because it is at the center of the United States. With a new airport, Denver would be a transportation center, and because of its location halfway between Japan and Europe, the city would be a satellite downlink communications center.

"What we need now are the right facilities, attitude and skills," Romer said He also spoke of the importance of education for international trade.

''We must begin to know the world better," Romer said. "The key to trade is 'know your customer."' Brewer said that MSC will play a vital role in educating Denver for foreign trade.

After the nbbon cutting a reception was held

in the lobby of the Bank Western Tower. Along with bminessmen and bmin~ home­less people elbowed their way to free food.

The "international cuisine" included fruit salad, cookies, pumpkin pie and popcorn. Fortune cookies were distnbuted that read "Riches beyond your wildest dreams await you in foreign lands."

As Romer, Brewer and other members of the party posed in front of the 21-foot black onyx sign that read "World Trade Center," a homeless man turned and walked away. He was clutching his belongings in one hand, in the other he held a wooden plank he used for a cane.

In the shadow of Colorado's present econolillC gloom, Romer and his entourage voiced hope that the trade center will help put the state back on its feet. o

Athletics dept. making gains with Tltle IX Gary Salvuccl Reporter

Despite a federal investigation into alleged sexual discrimination by MSC's athletic department, data shows the department has been moving toward equal oppor­tunity for the women's athletic program.

The U.S. Department of Educa­tion is is investigating MSC athlet­ics for alleged violations of Title IX, the federal law which prohibits sexual discrimination in educational institutions. The investigation resulted from a sexual discrimina­tion suit filed by Pat Johmon.

Johnson, the former volleyball coach, dropped her suit when the college agreed to undergo the investigation.

The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education is gathering information from the athletics department to determine MSC's compliance with Title IX. Over the next two months coaches and athletes will be interviewed and will fill out questionnaires.

Some of the data submitted to the OCR suggests that MSC has violated federal law in the distribu­tion of athletic scholarships, pub­licity, facilities, housing and dining.

According to federal guidelines, women and men must have equal opportunity in all aspects of inter­collegiate athletic pro~ -- ns. This includes, among other things, athletic scholarships, housing and dining, locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities and publicity.

For athletic scholarships, Title IX requires that men and women receive proportionate amounts of aid. If the men's program averages $1,000 of aid per player, the women's program must average the same.

MSC's averages are not equal. For 1987-88, the athletic depart­

ment clli:~ributed $172,842 in non need-based athletic scholarships, according to department records. Women received $64,596, an average of $778 per athlete. Men received $108,246, an average of $1,216 per athlete.

For 1988-89, estimates show men will average $1,185 per player

takes steps Chief of Staff Dan Becker suggested at the

group's meeting Saturday Nov. 19 that seminars and meetings need to be set up during the summer to better educate new members on exactly what they are supposed to do.

This would put someone in charge of a group going into the summer and that group could start working on projects even before the school year began. to ·organize

One of the problems with this year's government is that there's been too much confusion about what everyone is expected to do. Given what they've done (or rather, not done) so far, that should be pretty obvious.

Last summer, the Student Senate had only three meetings and did not elect officers until their second meeting of the school year. Needless to say, this put them behind on setting and executing goals.

Well, it looks like student government has finally decided to take some steps to make sure the next student administration doesn't end up as confused as this one did.

Column Libel & Slander

Dave Plank Reporter

It's been a few weeks now since I first reported to the public that Elvis was alive and well and slinging hash in the Auraria Student Center cafeteria, and I must admit reaction has been both swift and certain.

First, the Auraria Higher Education Cen- ,. ter moved to maximiz.e posfilble revenue from increased traffic through the campus by forming a committee to ascertain the viability of building an "Elvis is still the King" memorabilia stand in Lot G.

Metro State Student Government reac--~ tion was equally quick, and a press release

issued by MSC Student President Bruce DeWitt stated that ''we at ASMSC would like to think that we had a hand in bringing Elvis here."

The euphoria over AHEC's discovery of our peculiar claim to fame was short-lived, however. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education issued a statement that warned the three schools on campus "not to try anything sleazy with this Elvis situation until we found out if the state even allows you to have supposedly dead celebrities," and "if you think this is going to get us to stop ramming the merger down your throats, you're dead wrong."

Despite the suspicion or wrong-doing on AHEC's part by the CCHE, President Gor­don Gee of the University of Colorado was ecstatic.

"We are delighted," he said at a press conference from the bedroom of the luxur­ious home CU provides for him in Boulder. "I have it on very good authority that Elvis came here to get a graduate degree in accounting." Gee further suggested that The King continue his education in Boulder to "get away from all that nasty Denver publicity."

Although MSC President Thomas Brewer was in India and could not be reached for comment, amemberofhis staff who wished to remain anonymous said that "if that little pencil-necked twerp Gee thinks he's gonna hog an the money this Elvis thing will rake in, he's got another thing coming," and "eve­rybody knows that he [Elvis] came here to get his commercial aviation degree with the rest of the flyboys."

Well, after hearing about all this, I had to go to the cafeteria and see what Elvis hiwelf thought of it.

"I guess I knew all along that getting to go to school on this campus was too good to be true," he said. "It looks like it's time to move on to another place and another name. Did you want the veal Parmesan or the chicken Kiev?"

Sad but true. The Elvis saga has come to a close, at least around here.

But I do have another exclusive for Metropolitan readers. If you go to the library between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., behind the reference desk you'll find a short man with dark hair and a tiny mustache.

That man is the bastard son of Adolf Hitler. D ••

~Computer bug could zap MSC mainframes Alan Farb

..( Reporter

Computer viruses, like one that invaded more than 6,000 computers nationwide ear­lier this month, are capable of entering MSC's three mainframe systems as well as most of the personal computers in any of the

' campus labs. But because Metro's computers are not

currently part of a national or international network, its systems are less susceptible to outside interference.

However, they are not invulnerable. .,.. ''No system is l 00 percent security-proof,"

said Dr. Paul Howerton, a computer secur­ity expert with 40 years of computer expe­rience. "If a keyboard input is used, a com­puter can be acx:essed."

Howerton, a private consultant who has worked for the CIA, FBI, Marine Corps,

~ National Institutes of Health and American University in Washington, D.C., spoke to two dozen people Wednesday Nov. 23 at Metro. He was invited by the MSC Comput­ing Club.

A computer virus is actually a miniature .; program that is written with the intent of

destroying information in other computers. The program often is secretly placed onto another computer program. The virus may appear as a brief, obnoxious message or it can erase hundreds of hours of work. It also

. l... can work its way into a computer's built-in memory and destroy the instrument's ability to run any program.

Computers that are most vulnerable to viruses are PCs. Because they were designed for personal use rather than for classified or

'- sensitive material operations, security has not been a primary consideration.

,.-

•

PCs become infected when people share programs, either by trading discs or copying programs from "bulletin boards" via tele-­phone links. Bulletin boards are the elec­tronic equivalent of clubs.

Viruses can appear anytime. Some may be initiated after a program has been run a specific number of times. Others can infect a computer at a preset time and date.

''They're insidious, hard to track down, and the people who cr~te them ate van­dals," said Warren Kuehner, chair ofMSC's computer and management sciences de­partment

Other than desire for revenge, creators of computer viruses want to show off, Kuehner said. "It's the computer equivalent of machismo," he said

A virus that struck U.S. defense compu­ters, NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab and busi­ness and university computers took advan­tage of a flaw in a computer program and circumvented the sy~ems' security. The computers were interconnected through a nationwide computer network, Arbanel

Metro's computers are independent of nationwide networks. The administration's mainframe computer has four sec~rity pro­grams that operate continuously to guard against a virus being placed into its system, according to Bill Vickers, director of compu­ter services. Additionally, three human checkpoints are in place: the programmer, the systems analyst and the custodian of records. Metro's administrative computer houses student and personnel records as weU as budget, accounting and financial aid information .

Vickers noted that the administrative computer is connected to the academic mainframe. This connection, however, allows only the reading of information, not input, from the administration's computer.

Yet with 250 people who have direct access to the administrative computer, Vickers added that anyone with a sophisti­cated understanding of computer program­ming could inject a virus into the system. But even in the worst case scenario, Vickers said the computer would be operational again in 24 to 48 hours. o

Counselors pulling double duty Gabrielle Johnston News Editor

offering quality counseling and keep the wait list or increase counselors' case loads and let the quality suffer.

Despite being short-staffed, the MSC Counseling Center continues to help out 60 students per week.

''That's why we have a wait list now," he said

·Veatch said the center has asked for additional staff members several times in past years, but their requests have always been denied. He said the lack of funding is frustrating, but he understands funding is a problem for everyone on campus.

Dr. Ron Veatch, director of the Counsel­ing Center, said each full-time counselor sees 20 students per week. He said the work loads are not normally this high, but as the semester progresses, the case loads increase. He added that 60 students per week is the limit for the center.

"That's about the most we can do," Veatch said. ·

The center provides individual counsel­ing, as well as career and group counseling. In addition, the center administers CLEP tests, which allow students to receive course credit through testing.

Counselors also must conduct group ses­sions in a~tion to their administrative duties and individual case load

"Believe me, a 20-case load is huge," he said. He added that ideally, counselors would see only 15 students per week.

Veatch added that as the waiting list increased over the past few years, the admin­istration had to decide whether to continue

I think we get our fair share, but it isn't enough," Veatch said.

In order to shorten the waiting list, which at times is as long as eight weeks, Veatch has implemented some new policies at the center.

"We do more referring out," Veatch said. The Counseling Center now refers students who may need long-term counseling to other agencies in the community. He said most of these agencies charge students only what they can afford.

In addition, the center limits counseling to eight-week sessions to allow other students counseling as soon as possible.

The center has also added a walk-in sche­dule, in which students do not have to make an appointment for counseling.

AthletiCS-•r•mpg. l -----and women will average $1,000. While it is still $185 less than the men's average, the numbers are getting closer.

Athletic Director Bill Helman said that over time, the department will close the scholarship gap.

That means scholarships for tuition and fees are roughly equal for the men and women. ·

"In the past two years we've balanced tuition assistance," Helman said.

However, housing and dining grants are out of balance. Men receive 12 ''full schol¥ships," which pay for housing and meals. Women receive four full scholarships, and four more for housing alone.

1988-89 is the first year that women received money for housing and meals. Helman said that housing and dining scholarships will be equivalent by 1990-91.

Title IX also requires that the quality of publications distributed by the sports publicity department be equal.

Up until 1988, the athletics department had a special contract with an Indianapolis p11blicity firm to produce the media guide for the men's basketball team.

Last year's men's basketball program had a glossy color cover, glossy pages, and several photos inside. The guide for the women's team consisted of photocopied pages with no pictures.

Acoording to MSC Sports Information Director Greg Smith, that contract has ended. This year the men's and women's basketball teams will appear together in one media guide.

All of this discussion eventually led to the subject of retreats.

Student government usually goes on a retreat during. the summer and sometimes during the spring to gather their forces and energies for the coming semester.

Chief Justice Mason Golden's project for the forum is to try to ensure that retreats work this way.

He said there are two reasons for a retreat to learn and to develop camaraderie among the student government members.

Golden said the last retreat, in Crested Butte, had been something of a failure and a waste of student funds. He said the plushness of the surroundings detracted from the goals of the retreat. -:-

Peace Corps challenge

·Teacher finds adventure Elena Frldland Reporter

Imagine a world with no electricity, a ~ world filled with son~, a place where

scorpions are just another part of the wild­life.

This is the world the Peace Corps gave Vicky D' Andrea-Penna.

D' Andrea-Penna, who teaches English ' and writing at MSC and CU-Denver, lived

in Botswana, Africa, for two years with her husband and 30 other Americans.

"We were all there for adventure, for the challenge, and also we wanted to help. The Peace Corps always sends you in groups for

l support," D'Andrea-Penna said. She lived in a traditional African village

from November 1985 to November 1987. Her mission? To start a new secondary school, to teach English as a second language and Southern African history.

Sometimes we held class outside." The new school was built in January,

Botswana, located just above South Africa, is becoming rich by a natural, local product, diamonds. D'Andrea-Penna said she thinks the government is using the money wisely­to build schools and to hire ex-patriots and others to help them until they get their own teachers.

"A native, a black man, took my place," she proudly said

She also pointed out that going to school there is not easy.

"A child can walk six miles to school, stay until 6 p.m., walk six miles back and then work [at home]," D' Andrea-Penna said, and added that in spite of all the hardships, the people aren't angry or bitter.

"The people are open, adaptable. I guess after you endure all the hardships you've bettered yourself. People think nothing of singing out loud. Music is an important part of their lives. We'd start the day off with a song in school," she said with a smile.

D' Andrea-Penna said people in Botswana throughout history have been able to accept things quickly, to adopt some modem Western ideas and still keep the African tradition. They have the best of both worlds,

roof, no running water and only a short­wave radio for entertainment. There was no way to stop scorpions and other "creepy­crawly things" from entering the mud building.

"You learn to live with it. There were just a lot of insects, and you'd sweep them out the door," she said

Viewers gobble up art show

Eric Hobart Features Editor

Except for the faint sound of a turkey's gobble that rose above the rattle of several conversations, the opening of "Metro Art" had the feel of a cocktail party.

Visitors curious to find the source of the gobbling at the MSC art faculty exhibition Nov.22 had to weave through a crowd of about 30 gathered just inside Emmanuel Gallery's entrance and make their way across the former church's dark-grained hardwood floor.

Against the north wall, just inside an open closet, stood part-time MSC art instructor Carole Durham's video display. A 12-inch monitor and a video cassette recorder sat on a small shelf just below eye level. During part of a computer-animated se­quence, roast turkeys drifted from the top of the picture and settled on a white tabletop. The soundtrack was a combination of gob­bling and the tinny notes of a harpsichord.

Sooner or later, everyone in the gallery joined one of the groups gathered near the front door in the shadow of the 20-foot loft overhead. Between conversations, visitors, artists and admirers restocked at nearby nar­row tables holding trays of cheese and crackers, broccoli and dip, and three kinds of wine.

For the first hour people ventured into the main gallery's bright light one at a time or in groups of two or three, always returning to school like fish in the shallow space beneath the loft.

The Faculty art exhibit wlll ahow through Dec. 15.

About six feet into the area stood a sculp­ture of small wood rectangles glued together in a shape like a small twisted smokestack. The column of blocks sat on a 4-foot metal stand near the middle of the floor. Sections of the wooden sculpture had been charred.

"It's a piece that just wasn't working;" said creator and part-time instructor Brian Dreith. "It just wasn't working, so I burnt it

"It was a great feeling setting it on fire, because I knew it would work or I'd ruin it and at that point it just didn't matter."

As Dreith spoke, a woman wheeled her red ten-speed through the door, propped it against the side of the gallery's front desk, and began talking to a man in a gray and brown herringbone overcoat and white Keds sneakers.

To their right, two children crouched in front of a "fun house" mirror, then stood up. They laughed at their distorted reflection.

The mirror is part of MSC Photography

It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam.

On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.

H Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar· system faster, too.

Chair Barbara Houghton's "Vanity" piece. 1 Alongside the mirror sat a small white chair with red lettering around the seat. "She was tired of being short and fat, but, instead of exercising she installed a fun house mirror," it read.

"It's like passive vanity," Houghton said. "You're too lazy to do anything about it" } She bought the chair because it was one of few small enough for her feet to rest on the floor when she sat in it Because it was a vanity chair, it needed a mirror.

"I could look in the mirror, but I didn't like what I saw, so I got one that I liked what -I saw," she said. The mirror stretched pro­ple's reflections.

The exhibit includes jewelry, photographs, computer-generated pictures, ceramics and plastic pieces. It will continue through December 15. Emmanuel Gallery is open ,>

Accountability a four-letter word to Athletics A good businessman never overspends, unless he

knows he can repay the debt when it is due. Only children spend their money loosely, then run to

Dad when the phone bill is due. Yet this childish, irresponsible attitude is in essence

what Metro's Intercollegiate Athletic Department calls accountability.

On Oct. 10, MSC President Thomas Brewer agreed to sign over about $80,000 in unencumbered state funds to the athletics program after he was informed of the debt the department had incurred over a two-year period.

Dad covered their asses. But Athletic Department director Bill Helman has

good reasons for his request. His booster club was to produce all of athletics' self-generated funds. It didn't. In fact, the booster club hasn't been able to produce enough funds for two years. And they say collegiate athletics are an important aspect of an institution's popularity, even if the average age at that institution is 27. Helman is working hard to achieve a dream that former MSC President Paul Magelli started three years ago: to put Metro on the map by means of a few athletic teams. But the booster club just plain came up short, and it's hard to help a program progress when you're not making any money.

Vice President of Institutional Advancement Harry Gianneschi also has a good reason for putting the mat­ter in front of Brewer. Two years ago, he and others rallied for a $-13 increase in student fees to fund the

No one knew how long it would last, but at the time Metro averaged 10,400 full-time students per semester. And when it was lifted this year, MSC gained about 1,400 students. This year's athletic department budget is $481,000. However, Mr. Gianneschi contends that the athletics department cannot overcome an annual deficit until at least 1991.

could say that the program's administrators acted a bit over-zealously in their excitement to get Metro on the map.

However, it is difficult to contend that one program on this campus should be allowed to accept alms from Colorado when they have overdrawn on a few accounts.

After months of downtown commuters carelessly careen­ing through campus, officials frantically rerouting major streets and students chaotically attempting to reach parking lots, the first major success of Auraria's renovation plans has been realized.

The Auraria Parkway opens Dec. 12. With a total budget of $6.7 million, the parkway takes

downtown traffic around Auraria at a speed of 45 miles per hour, allowing the closure of Lawrence Street through cam­pus. The street will be converted into a pedestrian mall in spring of 1989.

Now, the campus architects and engineers can concen­trate their efforts on other improvements.

THINK CHRISTMAS

Cherlf Wehbe Reporter

They say after the third day it gets easier. So why on the fifth day of my diet am I asking my mom, long distance, what she happens to be cooking for lunch today (my mom lives in the United Arab Emirates)?

I'm going home for Christmas, and this time I don't want to look past the passport control gates to see horrified faces trying to brave a smile.

"Be nice," they're probably saying. "He has been flying for two days." To which my dad will probably answer, "Looks like he's

been eating for two days." I always do this. I always say I'll diet two

months before I go back home to the sunny Christmas at the beach. Then I say to myself, "OK, I'll do it a month before." So it's less; give me credit for day number five.

Most people here use winter as an excuse to put on a few unnoticed pounds that can be camouflaged under lots of clothes. Not in the United Arab Emirates. It is not unusual for us to be swimming on New Year's Day while getting sunburned.

My best friend Amy always protests, "but you gotta have snow on Christmas!!"

Never have Microwave Nachos (I love this country) sounded so tempting as they do now, as I watch them advertised on televi­sion. I would even consider a peanut butter and jam sandwich, something that just makes me cringe when I'm my usual Big Mac attack self.

Yes, I do crave dishes from back home, but I know I will be swimming in it when I go back in a few weeks. My grandmother alone can take care of that department. "I know you are watching your weight," she will say in loud Arabic, "but these date and walnut cakes are good for digestion." I love her logic, and of course I listen to the expert.

Let me be honest now. This responsible eating lark will end the minute I step off the plane and into the 80 degree weather. But in the meantime, I am also jogging. Well, I think I am. It is actually a perpetual spasm that appears to be moving and barely m.is.5-

ing trees. How do these joggers in Washing­ton Park even smile to each other? All I seem to have is a facial expression that says, "I'm having a heart attack, no I don't need help, have a nice day." _.

Of course, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and eating on Thanksgiving Day has been one of my favorite things that I've adopted since coming to the United States to

study (another favorite is Smores). So a friend of mine invited me to spend the day and experience the tradition.

"I can't," I said. "Why not?" she asked. "I'm, I'm ... not American." ;,... All right, so I went on Thanksgiving, but I

didn't touch the pecan pie (did I mention that's one of my favorites, too?).

~ '1969' flower power once again· ~~~~~~~~~~~~;...___-

John Libby Reporter

If you're still not ready for President Rea­gan and sick of "Leave it to Beaver" reruns,

·-<- "1969" is for you. It offers a look at the 60s through the eyes

of three generations. The movie jogs memories because it is so detail-oriented -from bell-bottom jeans and sandals to an honest, non-flattering look at a protest. The ·

'"· director made sure every effect was right The actors' hair was just long enough.

The film portrays the struggle of two 19-year-old boys who grow up in the turbulent late 60s. It opens with Ralph Carr, played by Robert Downey Jr., hitchhiking back from

K. college with his childhood buddy, Scott Denny, convincingly portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland. The two are returning for Easter and the big send-off of Scott's older brother to Vietnam. The scene works well, and the viewer begins to feel involved with these characters.

....

Scott and Ralph joined college for the sole reason of avoiding the draft. Their resent­ment for the Vietnam "conflict" is real and believable, but it leads to a predictable battle between family members.

However, the feel of having returned to the late 60s weakened when the movie began to wade in unrealistic and overdrawn family emotion, particularly the parents'. I have never seen family members that out of touch with reality.

Bruce Dern, as Scott's father, and Joanna

The movie "1969" t1k11 1 nostalgic look at .the turbulent 60s.

Cassidy, as Ralph's mother are unconvinc­ing and sometimes annoying. As expected, Scott's father shuns him because he protests his brother's participation in the unpopular war. This kind of predictability made the film lose some of its realistic impact. At times it felt like an old Elvis movie.

Emotional conflicts emerge regularly through anticipated scenes. Ralph's sister Beth, played by Winona Ryder, has an affair with Scott while Ralph's in jail. Ralph's mother and Scott's father have an affair. Only Mariette Hartley, as Scott's mother, is unique. She has an inner struggle - no affair.

The movie is often predictable, except for a few moments of unexpected humor that spice the story. Kiefer Sutherland is the

movie's beSt feature, and be proves that he has developed into a polished actor.

The subject matter is honestly portrayed, and the film makers did not resort to cliches. The soundtrack is excellent and adds to the movie's nostalgic value.

When I attended the film, some members of the audience actually sang along with their favorite songs.

I give "1969" three stars out of four for someone starved for scenes from the 60s. Drop one star if you lost interest around 1968. Obviously, some of us long for those years. The audience applauded at the end of the movie, something I hadn't seen since they clapped for Batman when he foiled the Riddler. D

.... ---._. , -'\ If John Leuthauser can k11p his foot olf the accelentor he m1y aoan drive a Jaguer - If only for short dlatanca.

Michael Shannon Reporter

John Leuthauser is an 18-year-old MSC freshman who works part-time for minimum wage and drives a BMW, a Mercury Merkur and a brand new Acura Legend.

Hmm. Rich father? Perhaps something more illicit?

Actually, Leuthauser is an employee of the Central Parking System, a city-wide operation that runs the valet parking service at the Tivoli. He gets his hands on some pretty fancy wheels working the 6 p.m. to midnight shift.

"I love driving these cars, Leuthauser said with youthful enthusiasm. "I love feeling the power when I hit the gas pedal and it's turbo­charged. It's a thrill."

J?riving autos of the well-to-do is un-

MSC Studellt Activities ----•presents----·

doubtedly the most rewarding part of Leuthauser's job, which can involve sitting in a small, open booth in all kinds of weather for long periods of time.

"It gets cold sometimes, but I usually move around enough to keep myself warm," he said. "Lately, rve been dragging out the long underwear."

For Leuthauser, who looks like the trim, dark-haired boy next door, being a valet parking attendant means getting personal exposure to cars he'd someday like to own.

"I like the BMWs, the Audis and the Mercury Merkurs. I'd love to have one of these cars. For me, this is sort of like a test drive. I Jove any kind of fast cars."

But what about the Ferraris, Porsches, and Mercedes?

"I don't get to drive those yet," he said. Because Leuthauser is new to the valet

business, he is designated a "jockey." The next step up the valet ladder is termed a

Elena Frldland Reporter

Pointing to an 8-foot picture of Ronald Reagan and Bonzo the chimp, Dr. Donald C. Johanson talked about the history of early man and the common ancestry humans share with primates.

"Charles Darwin was correct to name Africa as the place of human origins," Johanson said to an audience of about 800 at Boettcher Concert Hall Nov. 17.

Johanson, a paleoanthropologist, was part of the team that discovered the 3-million­year-old skeleton they named "Lucy." Lucy was 40 percent complete and gave anthro­pologists the clearest picture of what early humans looked like. Two years ago, Johanson helped discover l.8-million-year­old fossil (Homo habilis) remains of an ape­like creature in Tanzania's Olduvai Gorge.

"Olduvai Gorge is located in volcano country, the geological situation is good for preserving fossils," Johanson said. "It has classic but unique sediments that are easily dated because of layers of volcano ash."

The dark-haired Johanson said the remains of the Homo habilis were found just a few steps off a road frequently used by tourists.

Johanson also said that modem humans have long lower limbs, while the upper limbs of Lucy and Homo habilis were longer than their lower ones. That pointed to the fact that those early humans used their upper limbs for climbing trees, although they were also able to walk upright.

Dr. Jonathan Kent, an MSC anthropol­ogy profcswr, said this leap in evolution was

the most important feature of JobansOn's lecture.

"This abrupt change in physiological and cultural features of hllDlllm that took place in 200,000 to 300,000 years is the most significant aspect of Johanson's talk. We reached fully modem stature, began to use sophisticated technology (stone tools) and the lineage spread out of Africa for the first time," Kent said.

Kent also added that Lucy's teeth were • apelike andhumanlike, while Homo habilis' brains began to expand and they began to make and use stone tools, showing a transi-tion from vegetarian beings to meat eaters. D

Housewives trade chores for 3 'Rs' ~ Patricia Townsend

Reporter

No one ever gave her an "A" for doing the laundry, but since she returned to school, Toni Hill has earned many. Nancy Griffin

~ loved being a housewife but, after her divorce, is back in school.

These women are former housewives who attend MSC.

"Doing the laundry never did it for me," Hill said. "It used to take me a week to do

, the laundry. Now it takes two hours." Hill is "· married and the mother of twin 18-year-old

boys and another IO-year-old son. Although she said she couldn't remember

ever not wanting to go to college, it still took awhile for her to get up the nerve. She typed for extra money before returning to school.

·i'. The more papers she typed for professors and students, the more sure of herself she became.

''They're not so hot," she said to herself. "I could do that good."

Her first day back at school, Hill acciden­J.. tally went to the wrong cl~room.

"It was a math cl~, way above my head," she said. "I was sitting over on the opposite side of the room, so I was not about to get up and leave. I was supposed to be in an English cl~."

At first, she felt out of place. She was afraid she'd stick out like a sore thumb because she'd be older than everyone else.

"I knew everyone would take a look at me and know that I had been out of school for 10 years," Hill said. "But as I looked around, I realized there were many people

my own age." Going back to school strengthened her

confidence, she said, and once when she had a teacher she considered verbally abusive she took action.

"Instead of only complaining about it, I went to the administration office and wrote to the dean," she said. "I felt confident enough to rattle enough bones until adminis­tration became aware of the situtaion."

Like Hill, Nancy Griffin is a mother. She was always more involved in raising her five children than doing housekeeping.

She said creativity was the key to raising children, and she enjoyed teaching her five kids to read and do crafts. Of course there were tougher times, like the time they burned down the shed or the day her son Chris was stuck in a tree for four hours.

Griffin developed a love for medicine dur­ing her high school days when she worked as a nurse's aide in the pediatrics unit of a local hospital.

"Sometimes it was hard, because children did die,'' she said. "However, it was very rewarding to be able to stay with a very small child that really needed you - because at that time, in the early 1960s, parents were not allowed to stay with their children." But she said she knew then someday she'd go back to school and pursue a career in medicine.

After her divorce, she went to a commun­ity college in search of advice. She got it, all bad. ·she was told not to begin a career in nursing because she'd have to be really smart and work on her feet all day. It was sug­gested, instead, that she try to become a

all day. She worked at McDonald's. She went straight to the financial aid office and applied for funds to begin her nursing career.

On her first day at school, she said she felt confident but shy. She stood outside her psychology class because a sign on the closed door read: "Do not enter, testing in progress." Eventually, the instuctor came out and asked what she wanted. When she showed him the sign, he tore it off and invited her in.

Two of her professors encouraged her to become a doctor instead of a nurse. Griffin

decided to take general chemistry. She told herself if she could earn an "A", she'd work toward becoming a doctor. She earned the "A" and decided to become an obstetrician.

Griffin expects to graduate from MSC in May of 1989 and then enter the CU School of Medicine.

Hill is one step ahead. She's finishing her last semester at MSC and will graduate with a degree in educational psychology in December. She's already applied to Colo­rado University and Colorado State Univer­sity to continue her graduate work in educa­tional counseling. o

MSC lady cagers blitzed in season opener John Gegner Sports Editor

The Lady Roadrunner basketball team's shooting touch was as cold as the icy air outside the Auraria Gym, Nov. 25, when the MSC women dropped their season opener to University of Nebraska-Omaha 92-68.

MSC coach Cindy Guthals watched the Omaha Mavericks get pounded at the hands of the University of Northern Colorado two nights earlier, but the once-hapless Nebraskans came to life against the Roadrunners.

Nebraska shot a blistering 58.S percent from the field, 38 of 65 shots, as five of their players scored in double figures. Meanwhile, Metro shot only 36.9 percent, 24 of 65 shots, including a dismal 24.2 percent in the first half.

Shooting was the big difference, Guthals said.

"We outrebounded them by I 0 and a lot scored MSC 50-42 in the second half shoot-of our shots that we missed were inside out and coasted to a 92-68 victory. shots," she said, speculating the difference Burdett paced the Roadrunner attack making some of the easy shots would have with 20 points followed by forward Paula made.

MSC senior athlete stands tall in a world of giants John Gegner Reporter

~ In a sport primarily played by tall women, MSC's 5-foot-3-incb Verna Julaton stands out on the volleyball court.

The Roadrunners' diminutive senior set­ter is a candidate for All-American honors and a primary factor in Metro's second place finish in the Continental Divide Conference

~ and first ever Division II postseason volley­ball tournament bid.

c: -0

"She's the glue that keeps the team together," MSC volleyball coach Joan Tamblin said. "She is our MVP [most valu­able player], no doubt, but she also has that unique ability to make the other players she's playing with that much better as well."

When Tamblin gathered her squad in August to begin season practice, Julaton was the only returning starter from last year's team. However, she noted that her lone returnee was the team's strength.

"A setter in volleyball is like a quarterback in football," Tamblin said. "Without a good one it's hard to have a good team. We're fortunate to have one of the best around in Verna."

J ulaton, also the starting point guard on the Lady Roadrunners basketball team last season, was a three-sport athlete at Wide­field High School in Colorado Springs. She earned eight high school letters, three each in basketball and track and two in volleyball. After two years at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, she transferred to Metro where she earned all-Continental Divide Conference volleyball team honors last year as a junior. She also averaged 6.6 points per game for the women's basketball team.

In pacing the volleyball team to a 30-10 record this fall, including a 15 match win­ning streak, Julaton led the league in assists with an 11.44 per game average. Addition-

teamwork, Julaton is the leader. She is a "coach of the floor" type player, Tamblin said. Blessed with great athletic ability and quickness, she bas excellent court-sense and is a strong defensive player.

Bright-eyed and energetic, Julaton makes things happen.

"She is like a spark plug, she really gets the team going," said Frank Lavrisha, coach of conference champion Regis College.

Julaton attnbutes much of the team's suc­cess this fall to positive attitude.

"On and off the court, we get along so wel~" she said of her teammates. This camaraderie translates to players reinforcing each other without negative feedback, she

said. When asked her reaction to All-American

consideration, Julaton, ever the modest team player, said, "Individual awards are nice to have, but a team award [champion­ship] is better."

However, she said the nomination was an honor and it would be great if she was picked.

Julaton, a physical education major, wants to go into coaching after her playing days are over. But she hopes to prolong those volley­ball playing days in the upcoming NCAA Division II tournament. Metro meets West Texas State Friday, Dec. 2, in the opening round. o

there still will be an Auraria Board when his third term expires in 1990, he would.decline a fourth appointment. His position as man­aging partner of Holmes. Robert and Owen as welJ as his more than casual interest in Colorado politics keep him busy.

Bain launched an unsuccessful bid in 1986 against Federico Pena for Denver mayor. Although he won't divulge any future political aspirations, Bain says politics intrigues him.

"It's such a different world from practic­ing law," he explained. "Practicing law is low-visibility and intellectual. Politics is high-visibility, low-intellectual showbiz. You don't have to have any brains to be a politi­cian because nobody seriously puts you on an intellectual spot."

Although the Auraria Board is not elected, it is still often in the middle of Colorado politics. In fact, Bain cited political foot­dragging coupled with simple inertia as rea­sons the merger hasn't succeeded.

"It's easier to do nothing than to embark on a brave new program," he said, adding that the failure to merge was due to a combi­nation of the CCHE and the legislature not taking control of the proposal. In addition, Bain said, MSC and CU-Denver have relied on academic rhetoric to maintain the status quo, no matter how badly change was needed

"There are a whole lot of trivial argu­ments against the merger given by people who have a vested interest," he said. "Both [MSC and CU-Denver] arguments are so

self-serving that they don't have much weight."

Bain also places little stock in MSC Presi­dent Thomas Brewer's concern that a merger would open the door to "creeping elitism.

"That has been Metro's canned argument for year8," he sai<j. "Brewer just picked up on tlie standard propaganda. There's nothing inevitable ·about [creeping elitism) at all."

Instead, Bain believes the new school would enhance the quality of undergraduate progr~ and offer greater academic chal­lenges for students seeking master's degrees.

He also disavows fears that the merger will forfeit the role Metro plays in educating older, non-traditional students.

''The composition of the student bodies is so similar and the course offerings are so similar that there's no reason not to merge."

Many students, however, disagree. CU­Denver students have voiced concern that their school would lose its tie with the Uni­versity of Colorado, while Metro students fear the loss of their school's uniqueness. Students from both schools are concerned about being forced to graduate from a

"super'' university, not the school they chose to attend

-"While the student point of view is impor­

tant, students come and students go," he said "Those are legitimate concerns, but • they don't go to the heart of the matter. They can be dealt with in a transitional process."

The fate of the two schools now rests with the CCHE and the state legislature. Bain said if the CCHE votes for the merger he plans to help "persuade" the legislature to adopt 1 ~ 0
