Metro axes student support loans M.K. Wagner The Metropolitan

MSCD students no longer have the privi­lege of getting short term loans without benefit of a grant from the Financial Aid Department.

The Student Support Loan Program has been accessible for students needing imme­diate assistance with short-term loans up to $2,000. The program, which required stu­dents to use their paychecks as collateral, was given notice on June 4th, 1990, that their services would no longer be needed .

The reasons behind the elimination of the program are questionable and, according to Antonio Esqwbel, vice president of Student Affairs, another program that is even more effective is in opeation through the Financial Aid Department.

"It was not needed," said Esquibel, explaining why the program was discon­tinued. "It was a system that was set up three years ago."

Esqwbel explained that a more efficient system is now provided through Financial

Aid. A student with a Financial Aid grant can apply for a short-term loan - a student without Financial Aid backing can also apply for a short-term loan through Finan­cial Aid but is then turned over to the MSCD Foundation.

Funds for the MSCD Foundation are obtained by donations and are handled on a yearly budget. The budget is run according to the school year system, starting in July. At this time funds are low, according to infor­mation coming from the office of Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of student affairs.

The Student Support Loan Program was handled through the Student Affairs Board, paid by student fees, and had a constant flow of income, Barbara Clark, former director of the SSLP, said

This is a m~e from the administration that the students don't mean a whole lot," Oark said. "We (Student Support Loan Program) provided imistance to students in

need for real help. We don't deal with stu­dents with money coming out of their ears.

Clark said she was under the impression that the program was discontinued because of lack of space on campus for the program. The program was offered space from another office that occupied only three of its six rooms, but was later told by administration that it was not feasible, she said.

"We were told last August ( 1989) that we were moving, but nobody knew where," Clark said. She mentioned that the pro­gram's fate was undetermined and that the Thursday before spring graduation (May 17, 1990) she talked with Esquibel about the situation.

"He didn't have any answers," Clark said. "He just said, ' We'll take care of it'" She was then instructed to have her imistant, Julie Nelson, report to Esqw"bel on the first day of cl~ while Clark was out of town, and be would tell Nelson where the program would be moving.

The space SSL was moved to was CN 313, a small room used for a copy machine. Clark said it seemed apparent that Esquibel was upset with all the people corning and going from the room because of the program.

Whether it was space that caused the pro­gram's demise is questionable. On June l , 1990, Thorpe sent a memo to Esquibel and to Cheryl Judson, director of Financial Aid, stating:

1. The Student Suport Loan Program should be eliminated.

2. Employment of the two people in the program (Barb Clark and Julie Nelson) should be ended.

3. The need for students to get a short­term loan should be transferred to the Financial Aid Department.

The people in Financial Aid were left without any knowledge of the procedwes of the progam, Judson said. She said as far as she knows, the program is dead. Clark said she is now hearing rumbles of interest from students that the program should be re­instated and that they feel it is needed D

Gas llne damaged

A construction "cruncher" digging a trench to lay wire conduits ruptured a gas line at Ninth and Larimer Wednesday, causing Auraria Public Safety to block off the area for about 30 minutes.

No injuries or illnesses were reported, but some Tivoli shop­pers and employees complained of headaches from the odor. Ed Markuson of Public Service Co., supervised the capping of the leak at about 2:25 p.m. He said the leak would have been more dangerous if the ruptured gas line had contained more pres­sure.

Limon relief proposed

As much as $4,500 to be used for other campus-related activities has been proposed for use to start a food bank for vic­tims of the Limon tornado, MSCD Student Sen. Jim Capps said Wednesday.

Of the $4,500, $2,000 was to be used for a party held outside the Student Union, and the other $2,500 would have bought a computer for the student senate.

The money will be used to start a food bank expressly for tornado victims, Capps said. Any leftover money would be saved until winter to help peo­ple during that season.

Ball gets rolling

Denver Attorney Elwyn F. Schaefer will chair the 1990 Plain and Fancy Ball. The benefit for Metropolitan State College of Denver will be Oct. 6, 1990, at the Denver Convention Cen­ter, 700 14th St., Denver.

The ball will highlight the 25th anniversary celebration of the college and all proceeds will fund student scholarships and programs.

Schaefer was the founder and first president of the Metropoli­tan State College of Denver Booster Club and he is a member of the executive committee of the Metropolitan State College of Denver Foundation Board of Directors. He is a graduate of Columbia University and the University of Colorado School of Law.

Gov. stresses better education Mary Anderson The Metropolitan

Accessability to higher educa­tion, bureacratic indifference to minority ·concerns and the chang­ing direction of skills training were addr~ by Gov. Roy Romer and his cabinet on May 31 at a question-and-answer session at Auraria. 1

Greater accessability to higher education made gains this year . when the state legislature increased financial aid and the Colorado Commission of Higher Education adopted a new set of policies to expand off-campus classes, said David Longanecker, the executive director of CCHE.

Although the increase in finan­cial aid was the largest since 1982, half of it went to merit-based financial aid rather than a need­based financial aid, and the legisla­ture only granted half the amount that Romer asked for, Longanecker said.

"We have a long way to go on that issue, but the legislature ap­proved farther this year than they have in previous years," Longa­necker said.

"We need to include all minori­ties in terms of our concern about access," Romer said, after a native American in the audience menti­oned that the state's services are in such desperate shape that minimal services are not being provided.

Bureaucracies can be unrespon­sive, Romer said, and the gover­nor's Citizens' Advocate Office will independently investigate all complaints, either solving them or reporting back to him.

Romer also said re-education needs to include training in foreign

Party ends in melee

The outbreak of four fights that included at least three members of a local gang, brought an on-campus dance to a halt June 2.

According to an Auraria Public Safety report, the dance, in Student Union Room 330 and reserved under Black Student Alliance, ended a half an hour early after the break-up of the final confrontation between three 33rd Street Crips and 10 alleged Blood gang mem­bers.

Jennifer Jackson, sponsor for the BSA, said the dance was held by the Kappa fraternity but used the BSA to get campus approval.

Jackson said that the Friday before the event, BSA President Lisa Calderon was contacted and gave approval to use the BSA for clearance.

commerce and language skills to keep up with changes in the market place.

Romer said that Colorado's role in the international scene in cultu­ral exchange and commerce is important, even though Colorado is a small state.

Colorado's geographic location as center of the western United States is important, Romer said.

-"For some companies we are

the center of the United States. We're unique in telecommunica­tion," he said. "In hemispheric up­link and down-link, we're unique."

"There is a banking firm in Europe that talked to me recently about establishing an office here, and the reason was that the Lon­don market closes and the Tokyo market opens within the work day in Denver," he said.

Because the world is increas­ingly a global market place, there are tremendous opportunities in Eastern Europe for Colorado, Romer said.

"There's going to be some changes in society's need for skills. They are going to be more techni­cal in nature and there is going to

Sexual assault

A suspected sexual assault was reported to Auraria Public Safety June 5. An unknown woman con­tacted an Auraria Child Care Cen­ter employee and said she had been raped by a truck driver.

The Child Care employee learned that the truck was parked at Ninth and Curtis streets. The employee then spoke with the truck driver and told him the woman he had been with had left, then reported the incident to APS.

The victim went to Travelers' Aid at Colfax and Lafayette where she was assisted and taken to the hospital. Travelers' Aid would not release the name of the victim nor the name of the hospital where she was taken, but said the victim did not want to call the police.

Auto theft

Metro Music Department Chair Hal Tamblyn's 1979 BMW was stolen from Auraria parking lot "L" June 4 .

Tamblyn apparently left the keys in the trunk lock after he parked the car at 9:30 a.m. When he returned to the lot that afternoon, the car was missing.

It was found later in an alley in southeast Denver, minus wheels, spare tire and approximately $600 worth of tools from the trunk.

This was the second car Tamb­lyn has had stolen from campus. The first time, he said, was last August. The car was broken into, hot wired and was found approx­imately a month later parked behind a warehouse.

be a greater demand on higher education," Romer said.

The need to re-educate em­ployees and a projected increase of Denver's general population, will cause Auraria to accomodate more students in the future, he said. The campus will need more chwroom space, and expanded off-campus programs and more transportation, he said.

The transportation bill will be re-introduced to the legislature next year, and the issues and agencies that killed the bill in this year's legislative session will be dealt with, Romer said. D

Shoplifter caught

An MSCD student was arrested for attempting to steal a thermo­dynamics book valued at $55.75 from the Auraria Book Center June 6.

Christopher Long, 28, of Denver, tried to put the book in his shorts and cover it up with his shirt, according to police reports. Book center employee Thoma.~ Sweed witnesed the attempt and con­fronted Long at the front of the store.

Long was uncooperative until Auraria Public Safety officers arrived and placed him in custody. He was charged with a misdemea­nor count of theft and given a summons to appear in court.

Metro's baseball team finished the 1990 season with a 33-18 record, including a 4-2 victory over Regis at Mile High Stadium on May 10, to successfully defend their Denver Cup title. Outfielders Rusty Befus and Ken Sutton and pitcher Anthony Cortez were named to the All-South Central Regional first team. First baseman Jim Quck was named to the second team. Befus, Cortez and Sutton are now eligible for All-America honors. Befus holds the school record for home runs with 39, while Cortez has the record for career pitching victories with 24.

Men's tennis compiled an 11-22 record during the 1990 season. Junior Dave Cordova had the only winning singles match record at 7-5.

Women's tennis completed the 1990 season with a 7-9 record, led by freshman Danielle Velasquez's 11-3 record in singles matches.

Out of Bounds Softball to be dropped By Chris Caylor

Apathy has struck again. Now I realize that may be hard to believe,

given all the actively involved and con­cerned students attending Metro, but it's true.

Part of it is understandable. These people are trying to further their education and bet­ter their lives, while balancing other jobs or families. Therefore, their time is limited. I have that same problem myself. But doesn't it stand to reason that since these people are shelling out hard-earned money to this cam­pus, they might be interested in what happens here?

Apparently not. As I said, that is understandable, but that

doesn't mean I agree with it. One thing I have noticed though, is that when anyone even jokes about raising tuition or any fees, students get involved, all right.

The idea of paying more money for any­thing doesn't exactly appeal to me either, but there isn't much way around it. We're all going to pay through th! nose for our educa­tion one way or another. And inflation isn't something that will vanish anytime soon, so we're going to have to face the prospect of paying more, whether we want to or not.

Some things aren't worth the money, but others are. Take the referendum last April, for example. Coaches and school officials warned that Metro athletics would suffer if the referendum failed. Serious cutbacks would be necessary, but where was unknown. If it had passed, the athletic fee would have been $20 per student per semester, but it didn't and the fee remained at its present rate of$13.

As a direct result of the failure, Metro announced on June 7, that the women's soft­ball program was being eliminated. If the referendum had passed, it wouldn't have been.

You see, in order to save money, you have to get rid of something that costs money. That ruled out the tennis programs, because they are inexpensive to maintain. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and swimming are consistently successful programs, so the choice was softball, which is a shame.

Last season, they tied the school record for most victories in a season with 26, so the program was far from floundering. To Met­ro's credit, students who are under scholar­ship to play softball will be allowed to keep them and complete their education at Metro.

Another consideration for softball's aboli­tion: Title IX requirements. Title IX states that men's and women's sports must be treated equally. For example, the men's team can't take a road trip and stay at the Sheraton while the women stay at Motel 6. The elimination of softball leaves five women's sports and five men's sports, which will make it more fair for both.

Greg Smith, MSCD sports information director, said the referendum's failure will make it hard on the athletic department.

"We had four teams: men's basketball, baseball, women's soccer and volleyball,

· nationally ranked last year," he said. "Now the expectations are high and succe~ doesn't come cheap. You have to invest."

This brings me back to the apathy thing. I'm not even going to consider the soapbox approach; I know better. But Smith is right. I'm convinced that if the school wanted money to put a mini-shopping mall on cam­pus, students would fork out money with few complaints. But try to boost an athletic program which could help further Metro's regional, or even national, reputation and people's pockets suddenly are empty.

Metro has to ask for money, whereas uni­versities like CU-Boulder or CSU don't because they have major football programs that bring in more than enough money for the entire athletic department. Men's hoops­ters could be that powerful in the future, but they need money now to help reach that status.

Despite the failure of the referendum, stu­dents will pay $14 per semester beginning this fall . The extra dollar will allow athletics to keep up with inflation without further cuts in other programs. Adding that dollar was noted specifically in the referendum. So you can't blame anyone in an expensive suit for going behind your back. Metro students, or 792 of them anyway, voted on the refer­endum so blame them if you must blame someone. A whopping majority of 322 stu­dents kept the fee at $13, which should tell the intercollegiate athletic office that the word needs to be more wide spread about things like this.

Meanwhile, Stupid Government continues its shenanigans, yet it has no trouble getting any money. Athletics struggles along, but still gives MSCD a better source of pride than anyone on the Student Union's third floor. Students still walk around campus and say "so what?" I dare you to say that to someone who used to play softball. o

R'9naissance fest casts spel I "l THE •• . METRO POLIT AN

Mary Anderson The Metropolitan

Some 30 miles south of summer classes, in a wood reminiscent of Sherwood Forest, a medieval craftsman takes a bulb of red-hot molten glass out of a kiln and spins it into a transluscent vase. With fire and water, a nearby blacksmith forges a piece of black metal into a shining sword.

While the craftsmen ply their ancient trades and sunlight filters through a canopy of pine needles, a carnival atmosphere per­vades the setting of a 16th century town in the midst of a festival.

Like the craftsmen who breathe life into dull material, the 14th annual Colorado Renaissance Festival transforms 30 nondes­cript acres in Larkspur into a fantasy king­dom. All the royalty, chivalry, debauchery and sorcery imbedded in the popular con­ception of the Middle Ages, are re-enacted by scores of actors. If it lacks historical realty, it abounds in entertainment

Charming mlnstrals stroll through the Renaissance Festlval singing a llltlng melody. The festival wlll continue weekends through July 22.

The result is a theatrical piece of art on a grand scale.

The 11 craft demonstrations are only one facet of the festival. Animals and acrobats, jesters and jugglers, musicians ang magi­cians, garlands and games, food and falcon­ers, shops and snake charmers, bellydancers and buffoons, horsemen and henchmen all vie for attention.

The festival has added three new person­alities to the king's court this summer. A pair of singing executioners and a falconer who, in addition to having their own sideshows, are part of the royal parade, a Mardi Gras­style procession around the grounds.

In their show, the executioners, their heads cloaked in black hoods and chests bare, perform parodies of popular songs. A rendition of a Julio Iglesias song turns into, "To all the girls I've hung before." Their farcical act is laden with such macabre

humor as they tout a six-foot executioner's axe and a long noose.

The falconer, dressed in pantaloons, car­ries a golden eagle on his arm as he trails behind King Henry and Queen Elenore in the parade. At other times, the eagle is kept with a pair of hawks in a booth, where talks are frequently given on the preservation of birds of prey in order to increase public awareness of their endangered plight.

Jousting tournaments where knights fall three times daily, continue from the last two years. Good battles evil until the memory of King Arthur's demise is invoked and the evil black knight triumphs over the good white knight in a mock duel to the death.

Thirteen more shows, all displaying bawdy, rowdy antics, rotate among the grounds' eight stages. Audience participa­tion, foretold by a sign at the entrance pro­claiming, "Welcome, participants," is the rule. Unsuspecting viewers frequently find themselves caught up in events beyond their

control. Traditional fare includes turkey legs,

potatoes, cider, beer and ale, but more con­ventional food is also found. While not gourmet, the somewhat over-priced food is still better than usual concessionaire's .

Over 150 fully-costumed vendors hock everything from aphrodisiacs to pottery to woolen capes. Some join in the fun, attract­ing customers toward their steeply priced wares with proclamations that looking costs nothing or, in one case, that a passer-by is a virgin.

Yet family entertainment need not be sac­rificed on the altar of adult fun. Elephant and camel rides, carousels, a maze and giant swing cater to the little people. Child care for ages 3 to 10 is offered at the Children's Castle.

With never a dull moment, perhaps the only things the organizers left out are a uni­corn and a fire-breathing dragon. But in all likelihood, they were missing from the 16th century too. 0

Libel & Slander II: Dave pays the rent By Dave Plank

Well, have you heard? A story in the June 6 Denver Post says traffic tickets are being given out by Denver Police at a rate that's 21.5 percent lower than last year's. Police say it's because they're overworked and under­staffed, but it is good news, isn't it?

I know I'll be smiling when I fill out my check for $42, payable to the City and County of Denver, for a ticket I got on May 23 from one of our new, improved, 21.5 percent busier Denver Police officers.

This is only the latest in a spree of moving violations I have committed since I moved here four years ago. In that time, I have owned three vehicles - two pick ups and a car - and I've learned to live my life in fear of the traffic cops I know are lurking behind every billboard, shade tree and donut shop in the city.

They're out there, all right, sitting in the dim glow of those little map lights they have in their cars, listening to the radio and pointing radar guns like laser cannons at passers-by. They're out there memorizing license plate numbers and committing profiles of repeat traffic offenders to memory.

They're out there waiting for me. In all fairness, and just in case any traffic cops read

this, I have been let off the hook almost as many times as not. One time I was driving home from work in a blizzard. The roads were slick, and when I tapped the brakes to slow down a little as I passed a patrolman of the Lakewood variety, my truck decided to do two per­fect 360-degree spins.

I looked at the cop, my clearly out-of-control vehicle doing delicate pirouettes through a red light, but saw nothing. No red lights pierced my eyes, no siren assaulted my ears. I think if he'd had any scorecards in the cruiser with him, he might have held them up to let me know what he thought of my neat trick. As it was, he just gave me a big smile and waved.

It seems that you can do most anything in a %-ton Ford truck and not worry about offending any boys in blue. But sell your truck (like I did) and buy a sports car (like I did) and you may as well start jockeying for parking spaces at the City and County Building. Since I got my death machine in February of 1989, I have received six traffic citations, for offenses ranging from careless driving to driving with no proof of insurance (although yes, I was, in fact, insured) to plain old 67 in a 45.

Whoops. Well officer, I was on the way to my mother's deathbed, where my sister is having a baby and my girlfriend is committing suicide because she couldn't get Clapton tickets. No sir, how fast was I going? Are you sure? You know, I hear sunspots can throw those radar guns out of whack. No sir, I don 't see any sun­spots. Yes sir, I've got my license and registration right here.

It's the worst when they're nice to you . The guy who gave me the ticket a couple of weeks ago on Colfax sure was friendly. "Nice car," he said, filling out the citation. "How's it run?"

"Well, you should know better than I, officer." "About 54 in a 40." "Yeah, that sounds about right." What I really wanted

to say was, "Only 54? Gosh, I guess it's tune-up time!" But I didn't. "Uh huh. You just need to slow it down a little. Don't

be in such a hurry. Relax and enjoy life once in a while, OK?"

"Yes sir. Thank you." For some reason I've never quite understood, I always thank policemen for penalty points and stiff fines. I guess it's just the gentleman in me. Or the masochist. Or the dipshit.

"Here you go. Now be careful pulling out into traffic. We don't want to see you hurt, do we?"

"No sir. Thanks again." As he walked back to his car, he flashed me a broad

grin and waved. I wonder if he used to work in Lakewood.

Marijuana's merits ignored Editor's note: This letter was submitted to The Metropolitan on April 25. No dates or references of time have been changed within the text.

Editor, While on campus last week, I discovered many con­

cerned students taking part in Earth Day activities. I'd like to further contribute to this forum of ideas by shar­ing news about a plant that can provide our state - and planet - with ecological, recyclable industries.

The plant is marijuana - or hemp. • 10,000 acres of hemp can produce the same

amount of paper as 40,000 acres of our dwindling supply of trees, and far cheaper.

•Blends of cotton/hemp clothing have added warmth, absorbancy and durability. The original Levis were made of hempen cloth.

• Hemp seeds are an excellent source of methanol, which would pollute far less than gasoline and cut down on acid rain. The seeds are also technically a fruit and follow only soybeans in amount of protein .

Despite all its benefits, marijuana remains illegal because it is considered a dangerous drug ; which is far from the truth. A judge within the Drug Enforcement Agency recently ruled during a trial on marijuana's medicinal use for glaucoma and the side effects of radia­tion therapy that marijuana is "one of the safest thera­peutically active substances known to man," safer even than aspirin.

Why, then, was it made illegal in 1937?

Well , partially it was because petrochemical compan­ies didn't want a cheap substitute for their patents: e.g., nylon. Also, it allowed a high-ranking bureaucrat, Harry J. Anslinger of the Bureau of Narcotics, to expand his influence and agency.

And finally - as always - it was easy to prey on people's ignorance and racist fears to pass legislation: "I wish I could show you what a small marihuana cigaret (s ic) can do to one of our degenerate Spanish­speaking residents," the city editor of Alamosa, Colo­rado's Daily Courier wrote Anslinger in 1936. That era's jazz musicians-they're now considered a national trea­sure - were kept under surveillance and harassed for suspected marijuana use.

If you're angry that marijuana remains illegal, I recommend writing your congressional and state representatives. And/or, contact the National Organi­zation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) in Washington, D.C. at (202) 483-5500 and ask for more information about marijuana, and starting a local col­lege chapter.

. GUEST EDITORIAL

~THE ·~ METROPOLITAN 7

Campus cowboy demands reform I really feel indebted to Vice-President of Academic

Affairs Manuel Escamilla. In the April 27, 1990 issue of The Metropolitan he offered an invitation to all "under­represented groups" - not just minorities - to make -.;uggestions to MSCD that would make them feel more welcome on campus.

Boy, what a relief! Thank you. Someone does care about my cultural background.

Ya see, I just moved up here from Lazbuddie, Texas which is down by Muleshoe and Happy in case you don't know. My first day on the Metro campus was a ·hightmare. I felt so uncomfortable I almost swallowed my chew. Not being able to face the gawk-eyed stares of the students, I went to the restroom and hid in the stall. I packed my lip with some Copenhagen and set down for a spell to think out my predicament. Finally, after much head scratching and two chews, I solemnly

itood up and took off my chaps and spurs, so I would olend in more with the Metro crowd. Yes, I am part of a dying breed, an under-represented group at Metro, the American cowboy.

Everywhere I go, people look at me funny and think I am stupid because of my Texan drawl. They treat me as a social outcast because I chew. They think all I can do

"'

is fire a six-shooter, bust broncs, mend fences, brand cattle, play poker and spit tobacco.

Since my first traumatic day at Metro, I have traded in my Stetson for a Denver Broncos baseball cap, my Wranglers for 501 s and my Ropers for Air Jordans. I and other cowboys are victims of a culturally insensi­tive student body and administration at MSCD! We cannot even wear our native gidups without being ostracized.

Sure, we like to drink whiskey, fire our six-shooters at prairie dogs and read Louis L'Amour books; but we also write poetry, sell our horse manure to old hippies for organic farming and donate unusable hay to animal shelters for a tax write-off.

So the MSCD cowboys are willing to work things out. We would like to make the following suggestions to make MSCD a more attractive place for cowboys:

1. Development of a Cowboy Curriculum to enhance student awareness of our culture. Courses could include:

•Cowboys in Literature • Cowboys in Transition •Cowboys, Honky Tonks, Tequila and the Family •Cowboy Philosophy

• Cowboys and Lawlessness 2. Forty-foot long parking spaces to accommodate a

truck and stock trailer. Currently, there is no place on campus to park a truck and trailer.

3. A rodeo team should be formed to attract prospec­tive cowboy students.

4. Country music, spittoons, Lone Star Beer, two dart boards, a domino table and a snooker table placed in the Mission Bar and Grill.

5. Convert the Auraria gym to an indoor rodeo arena. All we'd have to do is rip up the floor, plow the ground, 'cause a lot of buckaroos will be takin'"some hard falls, and put some riding chutes on the west side and a roping chute on the east side. Presto - a rodeo arena. Every cowboy student in America would come to Metro.

Hey folks, how about another name change for the college? Like CCC - Cowboy College of Colorado. I reckon this idea would give this place a respectable identity.

Thank y'all might kindly fer yer time.

- Craig "Tex" Paschal MSCD Student

Metro is Broadway bound LSAT

GMAT MCAT GRE

,. Lyn Wazny The Metropolitan

"The Sword and the Crown," a new mus­ical debuting on campus in July, will give Metro students a unique opportunity t<' ·

411# be involved in the ground-floor preparations of a Broadway-bound production and earn three academic credit hours while doing it.

Michael Martorano, a New York City playwright and actor, is co-producing and writing the show with University of Denver theater graduate Stephen Nye.

In a recent interview on campus, Marto­rano said, "It is extremely unusual to work­shop a play of this size on a college campus. They are usually workshopped in New York or in regional theaters. But we thought, 'what a neat idea this was.' "

~ Martorano and Nye approached the Uni-versity of Denver, the University of Colo­rado and Metro.

"Metro gave us the most positive re­sponse," he said. "The enthusiasm and flexi­bility that this place has given us and wond­

~ erful support have been amazing. It will ' augment students' school work, giving them

the opportunity to work on a genuine Broadway show. And it gives us a chance to contribute something to the area."

The play is slated for nine performances, July 12 through July 28, at St. Cajetan's

f Center. After working out production logis­tics at the campus performances, Martorano and Nye plan to take the show to New York for a professional run.

Metro's music department is underwrit­ing the cost of the play as part of the college's

year-long 25th anniversary celebration. Because of that, Metro students were given priority for the cast positions and production spots. Preliminary auditions and interviews were held May l and 2. Rehearsals began June l l.

Martorano wrote the play several years ago while studying acting in London. While reading the history of England during the 1400s, he came upon a little-known rela­tionship between Prince Hal (later to become Henry V) and Harry Percy (the character Hotspur in the play).

'David Armstrong, one of the best directors In New York, wlll be directing the show.'

The play is based on this friendship which, Martorano said, "will illuminate an aspect of history that is not common knowl­edge. Much of what happened in England and, in some ways, the rest of the world, was determined by this relationship."

Several years later, while working for the New York City Opera as a combat choreo­grapher, Martorano said he reali:red the play should be a musical. "I went home and tore up my Equity (actors' union) card and said, 'I'm not going to think about acting until this show is up on Broadway.'" He said they are looking for a Tony in 1993. Tonys are awards given yearly for outstanding stage work.

Martorano met Nye in New York and approached him to write the lyrics and music. Nye is the composer/ lyricist of the award-winning musical "Miracles," and the Christmas opera "Favorite Night," which premiered in New York last year. The 30 pieces of music span all types and feelings of music.

He compared the show to "Les Misera­bles," in terms of scope and size. There are 25 acting parts for 17 men and 8 women. The three leads have aleady been cast with professionals so Nye could hear the music and lyrics on the voices who will be singing them, said Martorano. The three turned down paid acting jobs to participate in this project, he said. No one will be paid except the director and musical director.

"David Armstrong, one of the best direc­tors in New York, will be directing the show," said Martorano. "He is someone that the students at MSC will love to work with. He's patient, funny and has an amazing imagination."

In addition to acting, students will partic­ipate in other aspects of production, includ­ing musical accompaniment, assisting the director, set design and construction, light­ing design and operation, costume design, stage and house management, box office and publicity. Martorano said there will be approximately 50 people involved.

For more information, contact Jerry McCollum, MSC music professor who is serving as the liason between the show and the college, at 556-3180 or 556-2577. o
