After years of planning and contract negations, Auraria Campus students have a new StUdent Union at the Tivoli.

This summer the former Student Union, now · named the Plaza Building, was packed up and moved into the old German brewery. The Plaza Building is now a classroom building.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC Administration, said she wants the students to feel at home in the new

Tivoli Student Union. "I hope they feel welcome, that they

will try the things here, explore air the nooks and crannies," she said. "It's part of their campus."

The appropriate l?alance of businesses and campus-related space is important, Soker said. The businesses help pay for the cost of acquiring the Tivoli and its renova­tions, which keeps student fees from being higher than they are. The businesses also offer services and jobs to students.

The move to the Tivoli has created more office space for clubs, publications,

and meeting and conference rooms, Soker said.

In April 1991, Auraria students voted to raise their student fees $3 to buy back a 68-year lease from Trizec Corp., Soker said. The cost of buying the lease was $6 million, and renovation costs to the Tivoli have exceeded 5.1 million, she said.

The Auraria Book Center was the most complex part of the job, said superin­tendent renovations contractor John Douglas.

"It was difficult fitting in the mechan­ical and electrical junk above th~ ceiling

Max~ America just down the

street

while maintaining the maximum ceiling height," Douglas said.

Other problems arose when Montgomery Elevators acquired a license from the City of Denver to install an ele­vator, Soker said. The Tivoli Student Union is a state building and isn't obligat­ed to meet city codes, but when Montgomery got the city license, city inspectors started swarming to the job site, believing they were supposed to be there, Soker said.

The Five Points Media Center stands ready for MSCD interns. The Metropolitan/Andy Cross

New media center unsafe? •

Denver disc jockey contemplates protecting herself, while others in the area say safety concerns are exaggerated Meredith Myers The Metropolitan

Local businesses in the Five Points area have hired security guards to patrol their companies at night. Without a guard posted at the Five Points Media Center, should students involved in internships and workshops at the center fear for their safety?

Michelle Mobley, the Saturday morn­ing disc jockey for KUVO, is so concerned about her safety that she plans to get a gun.

The radio station moved to the media center a month ago, and each morning that Mobley has gone in at 4:30, something has happened to make her fearful. She said that although she hasn't been personally assaulted, she sees groups of men every Saturday morning near the parking lot who appear to be gang members.

One morning when she drove in, a group of about 25 men were standing nearby. She stayed in her car and watched a man "proceed to do things to himself for my viewing enjoyment."

That event prompted her to request that Denver Police patrol the area each Saturday morning when she arrived so that she could feel safe entering the building.

The Denver Police do not have any plans for added patrols in the area despite the increase of business traffic. Allen T. Hancock, community resource officer for

the Denver Police Department-District 2, said that in a July 28 meeting at the Media Corp., he discussed personal safety and suggested a security guard at the front of the building.

"We (Denver Police) have been involved in the renovation process from

I I

'This neighborhood has got­ten a hum rap. The whole area is full of history ••• '

Kirby McClure

the start, advising the Five Points Media Corp. on security plans for the building," Hancock said.

Some of those suggestions were implemented ..

Jeff Hirota, executive director of the Five Points Media Corp. said that during the day the doors are open to everyone, but after 5 p.m. the building locks automati­cally and is secure.

"In order to get in after hours you have to be buzzed in the front door, picked up in the entry way by a camera and buzzed through the second door. And still,

when you get to company doors you have to be buzzed through again."

Some say the safety concerns at the media center may be blown out of propor­tion.

Carol Naff, community outreach coordinator for Denver Community Television, located on the third floor of the media center, made a comparison to the Cherry Creek area.

"Five points has the fifth-highest crime rate in the city and Cherry Creek fol­lows close behind with the eighth-highest crime rate. Does that stop people from going to Cherry Creek, parking their cars and spending an evening in that area? No," she said.

Kirby McClure, the programming manager for KBDI Channel 12, and Naff both agree that the area has "an exaggerat­ed reputation."

"This neighborhood has gotten a bum rap," McClure said. "The whole area is full of history, and as it's renovated, it's bound to prosper. I don't fear for my safe­ty at all. I think at night and into the early morning hours people are naturally more afraid."

However, McClure, Naff and the police all agree that it is important, not only for students, but for everyone to be aware of their surroundings no matter where they are.

Tivoli from page 1

"I am surprised anyone is talking about that," Douglas said.

It was quicker to go ahead and meet the city's codes regarding the elevator rather than have delays arguing about the fact that it wasn't needed.

The elevator was operated for two to three days with a Montgomery employee being paid $38 an hour to push the but­tons that make it go up and down until the elevator met the city's codes for ele­vators, according to Douglas.

"There were many situations like that on this project," Douglas said.

Because the Tivoli has so many dif­ferent elevations, four wheelchair lifts have been installed and two more will be completed soon. However, at least one meeting room on the east side of the building is not, and might not ever be, readily wheelchair accessible, according to Douglas.

Highlights of the new Tivoli Student Union

• The Auraria Book Center is nearly double in size at its new location on the first and second levels of the west side of the building. It is 3,000 square feet larg­er, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC Administration.

• Also, ABC no longer has a com­puter section. Instead, a single store ded­icated solely to computers is just down the hall on the second level.

• The new Student Union will offer a wider variety of food than the previous one. A food court is scheduled to open by Sept. 15, provided problems with installing grease ducts are resolved by then. The eating houses of choice will include a full service Taco Bell, Subway Sandwiches, TCBY, Mandarin Place, and a chicken outlet yet to be announced.

• Outside of the food court, The New York Deli will be located across from the AMC Tivoli 12 Theaters and is expected to be open by the first day of classes.

• Hammond's Ice Cream and Candy will be across from ABC on the second level.

• The Daily Grind will offer a wide selection of coffees with student art as decor and an open mike for poetry read­ing.

• An airbrush T-shirt shop on the second floor will be open soon.

• Tivoli Copies, which will also do film developing, is on the second floor next to Snack Attack and Council Travel - which offers student discounts.

• An ATM will be on the south side of the second floor near a self-service postal station and TicketMaster.

• The third floor holds the weight of student publications, Tivoli Management, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, meet­ing rooms and other offices.

• Sigi's Gameroom and Cabaret on the first level is in a medieval-type dun­geon.

• The Daily Grind will be operating out of an express cart the first day of classes due to delays.

Question & Answer with: Vernon Haley, the new vice president of Student Services Louis A. Landa News Editor

LANDA: What major changes are you making or have you made, and how do you see those changes affecting the students?

HALEY: I have decided to take a look at the existing services right here ... And I don't mean just in Student Services, I mean collegewide.

Student services is just one portion of the college that has to interact with every­thing else that goes on. I wanted to get a total picture of what the college is in terms of the processes, in terms of how we provide our services - the academic side of the house .. . I needed to see a full picture of that.

That is what I've been doing for the last three weeks, trying to ascertain the existing scenario here at Metro.

One of the mandates that has been given to this office is enrollment manage­ment, retention, minority recruitment and improving on existing services that are going on in the Student Services area ...

Next week we will be sitting down to prioritize those things. Out of that will come a student-development plan for the next two years. It will highlight ... what

direction we are going. LANDA: Why did President Sheila

Kaplan think there was a need to create the position of Vice President of Student Services?

HALEY: I can't speak for the presi­dent ... but if you take a look at most col­lege campuses, student services is a sepa­rate entity ... Prior to my arrival, student services was part of the academic side of the house. So the president decided to separate it out so they would have their own separate budget, their own separate identity ... I think it gives a lot more visi­bility to Student Services.

It indicates the president is very stu­dent-services oriented.

LANDA: How will students know there is a new person heading Student Services? How will your impact be felt?

HALEY: We are very concerned about the environment on campus ... We are going to be working in what we call a customer service approach, a user-friendly scenario. That's going to be a part of our on-going training of all staff in the divi­sion.

What we are trying to instill ... is that the students are the priority of what we do here at the college.

LANDA: What are your plans for dealing with conflict on campus?

HALEY: We want to be pro-active ...

we have system in place so that we don't have to wait for something to happen.

Let me give you an example. We are going to be setting up a series of media­tion teams dealing with ... sexual harass­ment ... First Amendment issues, you name it .. . if any issue comes up ... we will have a mediation team to deal with that issue right away.

LANDA: When should a student come to this office for help and what are the guidelines for access to you?

HALEY: If everything is in place ... it would only have to be an office of last resort. That's ideally speaking. Because you would have your Student Activities director, you've got your got your Financial Aid director, you've got your Registrars Office. Most of the concerns of the students are going to be handled in those particular areas.

I think there is a need for higher visi­bility at this point in time. I welcome the opportunity to sit down and speak with students. I will be over in the Tivoli on a regular basis. I want to interact with clubs, with the student activities that are going on, with Student Government.

LANDA: With that in mind, how many of the changes that are being made are what you want, and how many are reaction from the students you have talked to?

HALEY: One of the things I've found during my interview process coming here, is I got a chance to sit down with many different groups on the faculty side, staff side and most of all on the student side. And in each one of those groups some of the various concerns did come up that I took note of. Then, after getting briefing papers from all of my senior staff, I was able to pinpoint some of the areas of sig­nificant concern. Then, after I got here ... you could actually get a better sense of where they all fit in terms of prioritizing.

LANDA: There are going to be issues and grievances that many students may feel have not yet been solved. Let's take the proposed multi-cultural center. Would you give me your understanding of that issue?

HALEY: There is a planning commit­tee dealing with the Tivoli. Are you aware of this?

LANDA: Yes. HALEY: There is a subcommittee of

that which is dealing with the multi-cul­tural center lounge area ... It's my under­standing that what is going to happen in that particular area is currently in the negotiation phase with the three schools, with their student activities areas ... We want to have activities in that particular

schools are working to pull that together. That's in process right now. How we are going to budget some dollars to do that, if we're going to do that? Who will have the responsibility for the programming? Is it going to all three of the schools? Will it be AHEC? Those are the things that are being worked out right now ...

We are trying to get as much student input to that as possible ...

LANDA:' One of the goals of the col­lege and one of the goals of your position is to increase minority recruitment and retention. Do you see this space facilitat­ing that?

HALEY: It will be one of the many caveats here on the campus that will be facilitating that. I think the first steps that you see is there is going to be a diversity conference on the 17th and 18th of this month, where faculty, students and staff are coming to talk about the diversity issues ...

We are going to be dealing with cul-

LANDA: I think there is another group here on campus which may have special needs - the gay and lesbian community. How do you see them fitting in to some of your plans?

HALEY: They are not being left out of this equation at all. I think with the fact that we do have a tri-institutional gay, les­bian and bisexual office is a big effort in that direction. Not too many schools have an office set up just for that. That's a real big set for the three institutions.

I have met with Karen Benson (direc­tor of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services). We have talked about some of the initiatives. I think that is more an edu­cation thing. We have to keep on educat­ing folks about each of those three areas.

Bank goes to bat for education Jeff Stratton Editor

What could be better than a free Rockies game at Mile High Stadium? How about a four-year scholarship?

Denver's BankOne and the Colorado Scholarship Coalition teamed up in July to take scholarship recipients out for a day of baseball, and BankOne presented the Coalition with an $8,025 check. The check was the first installment to a fund that BankOne has set up through its new Rockies checking accounts. BankOne donates five dollars to the Coalition for every new account.

Stanley Pouw, chairman of the board for the Coalition.

In September, U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley is coming to Denver to meet with the Coalition. He will see a Coalition-produced video that pitches investment in the program. The coalition is based on partnerships between the minority community, corporations, foundations, higher education and the news media.

Ed Romero, president of the Coalition, said the arrangement with BankOne is "going immensely well."

"We started a year ago with a pilot group of 50 kids, and this August we'll be increasing that to 157. We'll be able to put 400-500 kids through the program every year from now 'til doomsday."

The BankOne partnership came about after the bank's Community Reinvestment Act officer suggested that one of the best organizations the bank could support would be the Colorado Scholarship Coalition, said bank vice president of cor­porate marketing William Shell.

"The Scholarship Coalition has orga­nized itself very well - they have a qual­ity administration, and we know they'll make good use of the money," he said.

Special to The Metropolitan/Gaeta Behrens

The Colorado Scholarship' Coalition, happy recipients of an $8,025 check presented at Mile High Stadium before a Rockies-Marlins game.

Joe Herrera, a Coalition board mem­ber and president of Hispanics of Colorado, said that his role in the Coalition is to curtail the "high number of dropouts in Denver Public Schools."

"The scholarships are going to pro­vide opportunity for youth, as well as an incentive to continue their education after high school."

"We'd like to see all these minority kids end up with jobs and degrees," said

The scholarships are available to members of four ethnic minorities -American Indian, Black, Hispanic and Asian. Recipients must show financial need and maintain a 2.5 GP A.

About 30 recipients came down to Mile High to see the Rockies play against the Florida Marlins and the presentation of the giant check.

One student, Denise Rodriguez, just graduated from MSCD Aug. 7.

"I love Metro. I even hate to gradu­ate. But you've got to move on, " she said.

"I've received fourteen scholarships, and I've been very direct and clear about my goals and what I want to do. I had to focus on what I wanted to do, and I'm so glad I did. I'm probably one of the few Native American students who do gradu­ate."

Rodriguez received her degree in Human Services, and plans to take a year off to work in the field and then apply to graduate schools. She said she wants be involved in alcohol and drug counseling in the American Indian community.

Hang Mai, an MSCD sophomore

majoring in Pharmacology, said she was steered in the direction of the program by a high school counselor. Mai is originally from Vietnam.

"Without (the scholarship), I wouldn't be able to go to school at all," she said. "After I graduate, I'm going to write let­ters to every donor who helped me, to thank them," she said.

Mai was happy to spend her Sunday watching baseball. "It took me a half hour to walk here in high heels, but it's worth it," she said.

Young candidate for commissioner MSCD junior Tony Young was 19

when he filed his petition for candidacy in the Elbert County commissioner race. By a mere 10 votes he beat incumbent Robert Hall in the Aug. 9 Democratic pri­mary.

"Of course I wish it could have been a larger margin, but a victory is still a vic­tory," Young said.

He faces Republican Dale McAndrew Nov. 8.

Born to registered Democrats on the Fourth of July in 1974, Young, 20, voted for the first time in the 1992 presidential election.

A political science major, Young held his own in a debate against Hall. He credits his eloquence to an MSCD speech class.

His platform tackles urban sprawl, inadequate police coverage and school overcrowding. A side aspiration is to counter the bad name given "Generation X" by the news media. Not everyone of his generation is apathetic, unfeeling and indifferent, he said.

"I don't fit into any of those cate­gories," Young said. "Some of us out there really do care."

MSCD student killed in car accident MSCD criminal justice major

Michael Christopher Duran celebrated his 23rd birthday July 16. He was killed eight days later on July 24 in a car acci­dent in Arapahoe County.

"For a 23-year-old, he knew exactly what he wanted," said UCD graduate stu­dent Kathleen Flaharty. "He wanted to be a cop. He wanted to make a difference."

Flaharty met Duran when the two were interning at a Denver halfway house.

"A lot of the people at the halfway house wanted to go to Mike's funeral," she said. "He didn't treat them like a

bunch of criminals. He treated people with respect."

Duran was interviewing for a posi­tion with the Denver County Sheriffs Department before his death.

He was born July 16, 1971, in Denver and graduated in 1990 from Smoky Hill High School. An only child, he is survived by his mother, Brenda Johnson of Belton, Texas; his father, Michael Duran of San Diego; and three grandparents, all of the Denver area.

Drainage proble01s surface during book center flood Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor

Torrential rain on Aug. 10 flooded the Tivoli-based Auraria Book Center, leaving the floor and elevator shaft sub­merged in water.

AHEC night crew personnel worked into the wee hours of morning using Shop Vacs to suck up the pools of water that seeped in from under a doorway. The water reached depths of three inches and extended from the book section to the cash registers. It drained into the nearby elevator shaft where the water was esti­mated to be several feet deep.

The first floor of ABC flooded, but little damage occurred to books and other supplies sold there. A mere six books were on the floor and destroyed, said Gretchen Minney, ABC director. Most of the material was left unscathed because it was stacked on pallets above the water line.

Despite minimal damage to the books the elevator was out of commission for 48 hours so water could be pumped from the shaft. Additionally, the book section was roped off as crews disinfected fixtures to prevent mold growth. A few students were disgruntled about the haH hour wait to access the book section, but for the most part things are back to normal, Minney said.

"We are a highly resilient organiza­tion," she said. "We have bounced back."

While it is business as usual in ABC's new location, the aftermath of the flood leaves a slew of questions for those involved in the structural details of the Tivoli.

Vernon Paiz, plumbing and steam supervisor for AHEC, said several possi­ble reasons could account for the flooding at ABC and other sites on campus during the storm.

Paiz said it is likely that the drains are too small to handle such a large vol­ume of water, adding that it's also possi­ble that the main drainage Jines on the outlying streets are poorly maintained causing water to overflow onto the cam­pus. He said that drainage ducts on cam­pus were recently cleaned in anticipation of possible flooding problems.

Regardless of drain size, Tivoli entrance ramps are poorly designed and increased the flow of water to the build­ing, Paiz said.

While Paiz and others search for solutions to the flooding problem, all agree that the primary source, mother nature, cannot be controlled. Wednesday's rain was unusually heavy and unrelenting.

"The sky just opened up," Minney said.

Financial Aid Woes Hello, everyone! I'm back from

the hinterlands to regale you with tales from life, my life anyway, and the facts of life as I know them to be and as they pertain to MSCD in particular. Take for instance, Financial Aid (P)fil~.l?~.i).. M~ke _ sµre they have all the paperwork in order and MAKE COPIES of every­thing. Hell, make two, you can't be too careful. Whoever said "to err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer," never dealt with Financial Aid at MSCD.

In actuality, I know they can't be watching every little scrap of paper that crosses their desk, but it seems they do. Until this year, I have had nothing but good things rolling off my tongue about FA. Now I am a senior, and the word is seemingly out - "Get her!" For some mysterious reason, I got the Pell I applied for, but for spring only. No Pell approval means no loan either, except for spring semester. I turned in my paperwork the first week of July, only noticing the glitch then (remember, they hadn't bitten me before this) and filled out the paperwork needed to change my status for fall.

This is where I failed to follow my own very sage advice. I trusted the FA office to get everything straight in due time. I registered on

the right day, at the right time, went away to camp and lost 20 pounds. Imagine my surprise when I returned and found that my '03' sta­tus was canceled and I had to cough up my tuition in full by the end of the week or lose my regis: tration. I was not the happiest of campers at that point. I got to speak with a human in FA (hard to believe, but true!) and dealt with "Jeff' on Tuesday, heard nothing Wednesday, came in personally Thursday and found the piece of paper I had filled out early in July had not been entered into the sys­tem. My loan was held up; every­thing in my life as I knew it was in shambles. Well, really just my rent, US West, books, clothes. You know, the little things.

Fortunately, the visit to the FA office seems to have done the trick. My loan was aP.proved, though it won't reach the office 'til mid­September. I can't buy books yet, but I can get a short term loan, until my loan gets here. Is anyone con­fused yet? Since my Pell was approved for Fall, my tuition was (will be) covered, but I can't get books until I get my other monies. Maybe it's just me, but I feel mis­treated by FA. I had never uttered a complaint or bitch about the volu­minous work done at FA, because

on. The new game room is phat.

The new student offices are cushy. The Tivoli is an old brewery, and some of its unique architecture has been preserved, adding a historic feel that is so palpably absent from the rest of our campus buildings.

There's even going to be a Taco Bell - jeez, what else could you ask for?

And as lower downtown unfolds in its glorious renaissance, we're right here in the middle of it, watching it all happen. Our vantage point gives us a ringside view of Denver's transformation.

Coming back to school this year is like returning to your fa.\(orite playground and discovering that they've pat in new swings and slides . . . or coming back to your familiar torture chamber only to find that the rack has been reuphol­stered. Depends on how you look at it.

a guest editorial from Jean Mariani-Sear

they had never screwed up to this degree on my humble behalf

·before. Are there other people out there who have been (in their view) shafted by the minions of FA?

I also got my transfer credits re-evaluated at last. Finally, the biology credits from my AA degree will be viewed as actual biology credits for general studies purpos­es instead of electives. As if I would cut up a fetal pig for fun. Ever won­dered how transfer credits are eval­uated? I found it especially fasci­nating when I was told, "Yeah, you've got an AA, but we won't let you have en9ugh credits to support it and you have to retake some things."

Gone were my math credits, my nutrition credits and some phi­losophy fell by the wayside. Ouch! It has taken me an extra year to complete my degree here because of the credits that were shunted over to electives rather than being applied to general studies require­ments. Instead of the Seventeen­Year Plan, I was forced to imple­ment the Eighteen-Year Plan. I began my glorious college career at Metro in 1977, before many of the current students were in kinder­garten. How has it changed since then? Stay tuned!

Where's the cappuccino? The Espresso etc. cart in the former Student Union is gone, but students can still find Italian coffee drinks on the south end of campus in the dusky underground coffee bar at Ninth Street Park's Mercantile restaurant Robyn Schwartz The Metropolitan

With all the changes in Auraria ' s northern sprawl to the Tivoli, it 's nice to have some stabil ity down south. And important to caffeine-starved "southern" students with higher taste is the cappucci­no bar/grotto in the depths of The Mercantile on Ninth Street Park.

Yes, you can still get Italian coffee drinks down south.

Pete Martinez runs the tiny bistro equipped with a miniature old-style silver-plated espresso machine, and says he expects the place to be swamped with the onslaught of fall semester. He's been busy enough in the summer as it is.

"It ' s a nice place to come if you ' re lucky to find it," Martinez says.

Yes, it is nice. Especially since the ordinance prohibiting smoking on campus kicked in.

The Merc's coffee bar is a tiny piece of Bohemia, and because it's now minus the mystical cloud of tobacco smoke, it's easier to breath in the cavernous space while studying, and it still looks like you might run into Jack Kerouac or Lowell Thomas down there. The walls are bare

stone and brick. This his­toric building (about 100 years old) is a great place for studying, or writing poetry. In fact, the Merc's coffee cavern has been the home to at least one poet­ry group in the past. Manager Steve Wilcox says he is open to future poetry readings and maybe an acoustic gui­tarist or two.

"I wouldn ' t do it at lunch again," Wilcox says, "because the place was too busy at that time. People were in too much of a hurry."

Martinez welcomes the possibility of open­mike times for poets, comedians and musicians.

"I even got up and read one once," Martinez says, "a poem called 'The Espresso Queen."'

Martinez loves his job. He has run the Mercantile's coffee spot

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley The miniature espresso machine at the Merc's subterranean cappuccino cabana.

for three years. It opened five years ago, serving flavored coffees and hot choco­late (the espresso machine is a new acqui­sition - it's only about a year and a half old). He says he enjoys being around peo­ple all day.

"Students come in and tell me their problems ... a lot of people wouldn't get through college without me," Martinez jokes.

"A lot of people say they come down here and it feels like they're not on cam­pus."

Prices at the coffee bar are lower than most other cappuccino stands, although Martinez says he expects prices to increase soon, but not by much.

I know I'm not the only one who will miss Judy Fey's Espresso etc. cart in the former Student Union. But I expect to become a devotee to this little cave. Pete's a great guy to hang around with. I can't afford a psychologist right now and I'll need help getting through my last semester at MSCD. And cappuccino. I need lots and lots of cappuccino, the elixir of academic life.

Martinez thinks he might meet his future wife in this dark, romantic place. Maybe you will, too. A piu tardi.

That's the least that can be said about "Ain' t Misbehavin'," the latest production at the Eulipions theatre, 2425 Welton St.

"Ain' t Misbehavin'" is a delightful musical swing revue written by one of the greatest early jazz composers ever to tick­le the ivories, Fats Waller. Directed by Buddy Butler, director of theatre at San Jose State University in California, the produc­tion features a four piece combo backing up the six singers on the stage. Musical director Sam Bryant leads the combo on the piano, with bassist Sam Gill and percus­sionist Chester Juniel keeping the rhythm steady . Add these three to MSCD stu­dent and saxophonist extraordinaire John Asty and you get a musical mix that is delicious in its depic­tion of these timeless Waller classics. In fact , the only thing missing now is a vocalist, and that prob­lem is quickly solved as the company takes the stage and blends

The Sweet Sounds Of Summer Blow some Financial Aid money on these deserving plastic platters

Jeff Stratton Editor

These are the discs that spent the most time in my CD player this summer:

The Future Sound of London Lifeforms Virgin/Caroline

A two-disc set that sets a new stan­dard for the ambient/techno genre. Lifeforms is a monumental work brim­ming with ingenuity and ambition. It's a virtual reality rollercoaster, experimental but not unfocused. It also contains a sam­ple of Pacabel's Canen,.·a guest ·appear­ance from Robert Fripp, and the most stunning cover art of the summer. Further recommendation? Every CD store in Denver was sold out of Lifeforms the week of its release.

The Miss Alans Blusher Zoo/BMG

Passionate, evocative guitar pop full of catchy hooks and a beautiful, textured sound. I cannot understand why "Victoria" wasn't heard on the radio this summer - I guess KTCL would rather play Stone Wimple Pylons four hundred times a day (how adventurous!). This is about as arty sounding as a band from Fresno, Calif., could hope to be, I think; Unassuming, yet extremely rewarding.

The Blue Aeroplanes Life Model Beggar's Banquet

Although it's been around for a decade, this British outfit's new LP is the

first to receive much attention in the States. A dreamy noir theme runs through songs like the deliciously languid "Frightened at Night" and the Dear Prudence-y "(I'm A) Smart Drug." Beatie-inflected and folky at times, this record makes me want to check into the Blue Aeroplane's back-catalog.

Pulp His n' Hers Island

Kitschy and oh-so tongue-in-cheek, Pulp's revived Roxyisms and blatant Bowieness is quite eccentric, English and fun. Crooner Jarvis Cocker narrates smug tales of broken homes and cast-aside dreams. "Do You Remember the First Time?" is a perfectly debauched sex song you'll want to hear again and again.

Various Artists Rare on Air Volume One Mammoth

A very cool collection of Unplugged­sty le tracks performed live for a Los Angeles radio station. Acoustic perfor­mances from the likes of Tori Amos, Lindsey Buckingham, X and Peter Himmelman. Beck's hilarious "Mexico" should be an anthem for disgruntled McDonald's employees everywhere, and David Wilcox's "Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song" closes the album on a tender note.

down the pike

Love and Rockets, silent since 1989, return next month on American Recordings with a new LP, Hot Trip To Heaven. The single "Body and Soul" is already out, and an import-only single, "This Heaven," on Beggar's Banquet is also floating around. The end of this

month sees Laurie Anderson release Bright Red on Warner with special guest paramour Lou Reed. September also finds Sinead O'Connor and Pearl Jam putting out new product. O'Connor's Universal Mother (Chrysalis) will include a cover of Nirvana's "All Apologies." Britain's arty soulmeisters The Wolfgang Press come out with Funky Little Demons on the 4AD imprint, as will the Pale Saints' Slow Buildings; Bryan Ferry's Mamouna, on Virgin, features guest spots from former Roxy Music mates Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera. Boulder's own Samples release Autopilot Sept. 13 on their label, W.A.R. , and hip-hop/metal terrorists Pop Will Eat Itself try something new on Trent Reznor's label, nothing.

In October, expect a CD of remixes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on EMI, as well as a John Cale-produced new album from Siouxsie and the Banshees. Siouxsie herself has teamed up with Morrissey for a single, which should be out by the time you read this. If The Carpenters tribute album (A&M's If I Were a Carpenter) doesn't sound scary enough (what with Cracker doing "Rainy Days and Mondays"), you'll have to snag MCA's tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd fea­turing Wynonna's version of (I'm not making this up) "Freebird."

We lov it too. It's been a month since we've moved into the new store -

your store ~ at the Tivoli. And it's been a kick seeing

this old building coming back to life. The subtle changes -

fresh paint, lots of students walking through - and the

big ones - walls coming down, new spaces being defined - are

adding up to something great.

Things have changed at the Book Center, too. ABC has

become four separate stores:

Campus Compute'f"S, on the Tivoli lower level, sells

Compaq, Macintosh and Dell systems exclusively to Auraria

Campus students, faculty and staff. Software and calculators are also

available at some of the lowest prices in town.

Back upstairs, Snack Attack carries candy, chips, cookies and beverages; soon it will be stuffed

with frozen convenience foods (and a microwave oven) to make

it easy to grab a quick lunch.

Tivoli Copies, a branch of Auraria Reprographics, is next door to Snack Attack. It offers

black & white and color copying, booklet binding, course packet

production and copyright clearance for professors, and

resume, fax and package shipping services.

The main store still has the goods you're looking for:

textbooks, general reading books (and a super book club), gifts, and school, office, art, lab and

engineering supplies. Our insignia clothing area sports the kind

of logo clothing you'll be proud to wear. Watch for new

product lines coming in throughout the fall.

Over 200 of your fellow students comprise the bulk of the ABC

that are part of your investment in a higher education. We lov our new Union and hope you do too. We look forward to s.erving you.

1960s surrealist Peter Max displ_ays elegant new works at Writer's Square gallery just a stroll down Lariiner Robyn Schwartz Features Editor

Peter Max, a cartoonist famous for The Beatles' Yellow Submarine album cover and film is still painting mannalade skies, but in a more sophisticated manner. You can see his newest work at Gallery One in Writer's Square, 1512 Larimer St.

Max's new work is less cartoonish than in his submarine days, but no less vibrant in its maturity . .

His"c\crylic on Canvas" (selling for $10,300) features boats on water of deep midnight blues, orange-yellows, salmons and orange-reds all blended in a simple, impressionistic style.

ground; "Blossom Lady" ($10,000) is a lively study of a woman with fruity hair and lavish clothing. Her demure, down­cast eyes add contrast and sensuality to the piece.

The Max exhibit will be open for another week or two, according to Beth Jordan, associate gallery director at Gallery One. Gallery director Michie Ford said more than half of the exhibit has been sold or transferred to other Gallery One locations.

One of the poshest of downtown ' s many galleries, Gallery One is one place to reduce stress and gain inspiration dur­ing a short break in a busy day.

"Lady on Green #1" ($7,400) is Lautrec-like, also in acrylic. Max's versa­tility shows in his acrylic/silkscreens "Mona Lisa" and "Lady Liberty," which are almost Warholish, but with more depth and color. "Lady Liberty" is a breathtaking blend of realism and cartoon.

The Metropolitan/Andy Cross

Peter Max's "Lady Liberty" Is on display at Gallery One in Writer's Square.

The gallery contains works by Leroy Neiman and American Indian artists Earl Biss and R.C. Gorman, among others. The works of Aldo Luongo and G.H. Rothe alone merit a visit to the gallery, whether you make it there in time to see the Max exhibit or not. MTV and VH-1 for Woodstock's 20th

anniversary. Luongo has an impressionistic style. The German-born artist has been

painting his impressions of the Statue of Liberty since a 1976 bicentennial com­memoration. He has since painted them for the Reagans at their 1981 Independence Day celebration, and he gave a liberty painting to them in 1982.

handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat at the signing of the peace accord between Israel and the PLO. In 1989, Max also painted "Forty Gorbys" in a tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev.

In 1989, Max designed the stage for the Moscow Music and Peace Festival and created the computer design of the Woodstock dove and guitar logo that introduced "Woodstock Minutes" on

Max had sections of the Berlin Wall flown to America. He carved a concave, three-dimensional dove in the cement.

The Gallery One exhibit is mostly apolitical. "Walking in Reeds II" ($2,300) is a serene pastoral study of a woman in a long skirt and sun hat walking in a vibrant yellow, pink, orange and red sunset, bril­liantly blended over cooler reds and greens of her clothing, the reeds and the

In fact, one featured painting is "Bridge at Giverny" - a painting of the same bridge Monet painted in his garden.

Rothe's works have a frenzied feel to them, yet they are complex compositions full of psychological suggestion.

Gallery One is worth the short walk from Auraria Campus. It is a veritable museum of quality contemporary art.

Sl\IAPsnoTs Welcome to the Tivoli Student Union. Although the livoli is not quite ready to host its official grand opening, many offices, restaurants and services are open.

The Auraria Book Center has been up and running since July 18th and offers the following extended hours for the week of Aug. 22: 7:30 a.m-8:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday; and 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday. Closed Sunday. Book Buy-back now has a second location on the garden level of the livoli.

The Auraria Copy Center is on the second floor.

Sigi's Gameroom will open on the garden level, Aug. 22 with billiards, card and dart room, ping pong and snooker tables. Sigi's Cabaret, a bar named after the livoli's founding brewmeister, Moritz Sigi, will open around the beginning of October.

What about FOOD? The food court will not be open until mid­September or early October, but never fear. Check out the fare at The New York Delicatessen, which opened Aug. 18. It's owned by the same New Yorker, Warren Tepper, who owns the thriving Boulder eatery of the same name. It's pricier than Rockies Deli in the North Classroom, but it's got the tallest menu I've ever seen, including 12 salads, less costly Blue Plate Specials for students, a 10-item kids' menu, potato latkes, 16 burgers, pizza, espresso, lox and bagels, chopped liver, and ... OY! I'm out of breath.

But there's more. Speaking of Rockies Deli, they will have a cart on the first floor of the livoli Student Union starting Mon., Aug 22, until the food court opens. So will Taco Bell and the Daily Grind.The Boiler Room is still the place to beer at Auraria, Morton's of Chicago is still here too. The Snack Attack (a con­venience store) offers lower-than-normal-convenience-store­prices on the second floor.

MSCD Student Government Offices are on the third floor. So are The Metropolitan's offices, Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Services, ACTV and Student Activities for all three institutions.

Student IDs and ID renewals and Ticket Services are on the old Student Union Mezzanine until the futuristic new ID system and licketMaster are set up in the livoli.

The sixth and seventh floors are home to Fieldwork Denver, Inc. This consumer market research firm pays $30-$40 per person for two hours of consumer participation in their studies (enough for a cheap textbook or lunch at Morton's). For more informa­tion, call 825-7788.

The Metropolitan will update Tivoli openings weekly.

Lee's 'Eat Drink Man Woman' serves up a happy family meal to moviegoers Meredith Myers The Metropolitan

Eat. Drink. Man. Woman . Combined, these are life-sustaining ele­ments. In the movie, these are the ele­ments that produce comical twists of fate coupled with ironic lessons in life.

resents so much about the family mem­bers' lives. The food that is prepared and the manner in which it 's prepared often reflect the emotions of the preparer, fore­shadowing the scenes to come. Master Chu's loss of his sense of taste symbol­izes his loss of enthusiasm for life.

The film was intriguing because of the many twists of fate. Very few things that a viewer anticipates happening actu­ally happen.

Plan to eat dinner after the film, because it is full of scenes that will make anyone's mouth water.

Directing the film "Eat Drink Man Woman," Ang Lee ("The Wedding Banquet") drew on his personal experi­ences growing up in Taiwan. Lee said in a promotional release that he was intrigued by the irony that every family exists because of sex, yet it is a topic most families have trouble discussing -including the Chu family, the film's fic­tional family.

"Eat Drink Man Woman" offers funny food for thought.

Three world-class chefs worked on the production full-time, including food specialists who would come in to prepare more complicated dishes. In fact, over 100 different recipes are used in "Eat Drink Man Woman."

The film ' s plot focuses on a tradi­tional father raising three relatively con­temporary daughters who have very dif­ferent lives, yet live under the same roof in Taiwan. The father, Tao Chu (Sihung Lung, "Wedding Banquet"), believes food is life - his profession and his means of raising his daughters. Communication is difficult for the Chu family , and the elaborate Sunday dinners that Tao Chu prepares throughout the movie are a ritual that had become the forum for family discussion and "small

announcements." The oldest daughter, Jia-Chien

(Chien-Lien Wu), hides her broken heart behind religion and teaching chemistry at a Taiwan high school. She has been devoted to her father since the girls' mother died nine years earlier.

Jia-Ning (Yu-Wen Wang) is the youngest and most innocent daughter, whose romantic awakenings arise for her best friend's boyfriend.

Jai-Chien (Chein-Lien Wu), the mid­dle daughter, and her relationship with her father add the real spice to the movie.

Of the three daughters, she has the health­iest appetite for love and sex, although she doesn't always get it in that order. On the surface, it appears that she has it all, yet throughout the film it is discovered that she is deficient in more areas than one. A power struggle between her and her father has created a longtime feeling of inadequacy that affects her relation­ships and life decisions.

The central element is the impor­tance of food and its relation to the char­acters in the film . In fact, the food is almost the star of the film, because it rep-

Two notes worth mentioning: If you are interested in an action-packed movie with lots of violence, sex, and nudity, this is not your bowl of rice. Also, the entire film has subtitles. However, after watch­ing for 20 minutes, it is easy to forget that you are reading words instead of hearing them com~ out of the actors' mouths, because the scenes are played so well.

MSCD Spanish professor wins Fulbright Scholarship Billie Arlene Grant The Metropolitan

"It's the realization of a dream," said MSCD professor Olivia Lopez Hartenstein.

She refers to her recent honor -receiving a Fulbright Teacher Exchange Scholarship this spring.

Hartenstein has taught Spanish, Latin American Literature and Introduction to Literature at MSCD for three years.

The Fulbright Commission Scholarship offers programs in various fields. Hartenstein chose to go to

Argentina in July to teach for one semester at the University of San Juan.

Hartenstein's husband, Hugo, accom­panied her and is also teaching in Argentina. Hartenstein ' s son, David Carter, 20, is staying in the States to con­tinue his studies at the American University in Washington D.C.

Hartenstein was-born in Jovellanon, Cuba, and has been in the United States since 1960. She attended Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga., and the University of Colorado. She has a bachelor's degree in French and education and a master's in Latin American literature.

Hartenstein said she wanted a Fulbright Scholarship because it is an opportunity for her to teach in a Spanish­speaking country and "to learn about inter­national education and about other peo­ple's ways of living."

Hartenstein says she sees the base of education as "developing a human being."

"I have been able to be in contact with many people and it has really changed my perspective. I am really happy that I have been a teacher," she said.

She will return to MSCD in January 1995.

Super sports summer goes south Michael BeDan Spotts Editor

A summer that promised to quench a sports fanatic's thirst for action turned out to be as dry and unsatisfying as a cup of hot sand at the finish line of the Tour De France.

With so many championships being decided right here in the North America -World Cup Soccer, NBA Championship, NHL Championship and the World Championship of Basketball - and with the most promising baseball season in recent memory underway, it was a lock. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING!

The World Cup attracted a record number of fans in its first ever stop in the States. The success of the U.S. team did wonders for soccer in a country that would rather see the Chicago Bears eke out a 12-9 victory over the Green Bay Packers than Italy's Roberto Baggio score the winning goal in a quarterfinal World Cup match against Spain.

The World Cup showed Americans why former Brazilian soccer star Pele calls soccer "the beautiful game." It also showed us that foreign soccer fans are nuts. Andres Escobar, a 23-year-old Columbian player, had the unfortunate luck of accidentally

scoring a goal for the U.S. team in the first round and was later murdered for the mis­cue. Maybe the fans in the south stands of Broncos games aren' t so bad, huh?

On the field the World Cup was great to watch until the conclusion of a scoreless dogfight of a final. After neither Brazil nor Italy could score in 90 minutes of regula­tion and 30 minutes of overtime, the game was settled with 12-yard penalty kicks. Brazil won the World Cup, but ending it like that was as ridiculous as settling game seven of the NBA Finals with a free throw shooting contest. Speaking of hoops ...

The NBA Finals S.M.J. (sans Michael Jordan) were akin to watching a rugby match, but that's not what tainted them entirely. 0 .J. Simpson's mindboggling car chase that interrupted the Finals shifted the nation's focus from one of the few good games in the seven game series to the spec­tacle of a sports hero in a twisted crisis. The fact that the Houston Rockets eventu­ally beat the New York Bricks in game seven saved basketball from a complete plummet to the level of WWF Wrestling.

The most redeeming championship decided this summer was the thrilling seven game series in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks. The Rangers

ended a five decade Stanley Cup drought by winning game seven and New York went wild. The fact that the hockey was more entertaining than the basketball proved that the NBA needs M.J. and that the NHL has come a long way from the 'goons on skates' reputation that it so right­fully wore in years past. For the moment, hockey and hoops have swapped styles.

America continues to have a chip on its shoulder in international basketball as proven in the World Championship of Basketball last week. Dream Team I stomped through the 1992 Barcelona games sporting the best collection of play­ers ever assembled. Aside from Charles Barkley's elbow and the Nike'controversy, the Dream Teamers showed the world that America is light years ahead of everyone on the hardwood. This year's Dream Team, Dream Team Junior, was not as fortunate. The new ensemble of characters spent more time talking trash than playing and was put back in place by Spain. Though America won that game 115-100 and even­tually the entire tournament, they did so with slightly less dominance and much less class. The original Dream Team never allowed more than 85 points by an oppo­nent on its road to the gold.

Finally to America's pastime ...

Fans, get over it. Of course you 'd play baseball for $100,000 a year. Of course you think they are overpaid whiners for striking. Of course you think so. But none of you 'fans' have the talent to play profes­sional sports and can't begin to fathom the degree of greediness that tlie owners are displaying.

The true tragedy of the strike is that a season of brilliance has been ruined and may not be repeated anytime soon.

Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas and Matt Williams all had legitimate shots at breaking Roger Maris' season home run record of 61 blasts.

Texas Rangers hurler Kenny Rogers pitched a perfect game against the California Angels, and Thomas, aptly nick­named the Big Hurt, could also have won the triple crown, (league leader for batting average, home runs and runs batted in) had the season not ended Aug. 12.

Hopefully the NFL will provide some relief from this summer of lost dreams. The new rule changes will add to the game that was becoming as dull as the women's pro­fessional tennis tour.

Fall and Winter may reward us with some greatly improved NFL action.

Let's hope the Buffalo Bills don' t find a way to screw that up, too.

Women's b-ball nets six new gunners Michael BeDan Spotts Editor

MSCD Women ' s Basketball coach Darryl Smith will have six new weapons at his disposal for the 1994-95 season.

A recruiting class of two high school graduates and four junior college transfers should help the Roadrunners maintain the high level of play that allowed them to compete in the Division II NCAA tourna­ment last season.

"This is, without question, a great recruiting class," Smith said of his new arsenal. "Every one of these young women will be successful at the Division II level. I'm happy to have their talents on the squad, and they will help us contend for the Colorado Athletic Conference

Last season the team had the best sea­son in MSCD women's hoops history. They won the CAC tournament against Denver University in a thrilling overtime game 75-74, which gave the Roadrunners their first ever birth into the NCAA Division II tournament.

Treading on new ground, the women were beaten soundly by Augustana 88-65 in the first round.

This recruiting class strengthens the Roadrunners and they will be in the hunt for a return trip to the NCAA tourney.
