The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wllets Alvertis Simmons, MSCD alumnus, addresses a protest group of about 125 outside the Auraria Events Center Nov. 9 before a speech by Charles Murray, controversial author of The Bell Curve.

Conflict comes to campus Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer

Ignited over a book's message that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites, protesters condemned its author as a racist when he spoke at Auraria Campus Nov. 9.

Approximately 125 protesters orga­nize'd by MSCD's Political Science Association and a host of local media swarmed outside the Auraria Events Center.

Inside, Richard Murray, co-author

of The Bell Curve, said family links are desperately needed in this country and recommended ending welfare as part of the solution .

Murray's speech covered his previ­ous book, Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950-1980, but he did take questions regarding his latest book The Bell Curve.

Protesters from all walks contested the book's premises.

"We believe, as students, the ideas of Charles Murray basically conflict with the main mission of MSCD," said

Esra Bilge, of MSCD Political Science Association. The association charged that Murray u.ses culturally biased IQ tests that are scientifically and socially irresponsible.

The Bell Curve, at over 800 pages, was co-written with the late Richard J. Herrnstein and deals with intelligence as it affects social policies. Much contro­versy focuses on a passage that states blacks as a group have an IQ 15 points lower than whites.

MURRAY from page 1

After the conference ended, Murray said his mes­sage has been lost in the media.

"So far, almost all the pieces written about The Bell Curve have been written by people who haven't read the book and they bear no relation to the book," he said. "But that's all going to change."

Most people attending Murray's speech and those protesting the book admittedly have not read The Bell Curve.

During the speech, Murray proposed ending the wel­fare system, saying it could be done in a year given last night's political shift to the right when Republicans gained control of the U.S. legislature.

Murray recommends cutting Aid to Families with Dependent Children, food stamps and housing.

Murray said ending welfare should begin at the state level, which would allow a feeling out period. He also proposed a grandfather clause to protect current welfare recipients. He said pulling the rug out from under those people could hurt them and would be breaking a promise.

Murray allowed only five questions after his speech and appeared irritated with Chet Sisk, 33, of Denver. Sisk asked why The Bell Curve wasn't more comprehen­sive in dealing with black history.

Murray said the book was not meant to be a history book. When Sisk asked another question Murray

police station. In the article, Murray said it wasn't meant to be

racist, but just a dumb thing to do. "I look back on that and say 'How on Earth could

we have been so oblivious?"' Murray said in the piece. "There wouldn't have been a racist thought in our sim­ple-minded minds. That's how unaware we were."

Allen Gillbert, a professor of International Studies at Denver University, didn't accept this explanation.

"Whether or not we accept his explanation of his behavior as a teenager, his professional crusade to stig­matize black people cannot be apologized for - it is simply racism."

In an Oct. 9 New York Times Magazine article, Murray admitted to burning a cross made of scrap wood during his senior year in high school, on a hill beside the

"If Charles Murray has such great insight and has such intellect he ought to be able to debate this, and students ought to be able to have a forum, and students should have been invited," said Dr. Oneida Mascarenas, an MSCD political

of different age, race and education. The crowd that filled the bleachers were pre­dominately older and Caucasian.

,. "Any theory this controversial .'"" demands a public debate. Step up to the

plate and take an honest swing," said Jim Dixon, associate dean of letters arts and sciences.

Students clutched signs that read: "We are not white trash," "IQ test are cul-

turally biased," "Bigotry out of Auraria" and "Racism is not science," and shouted: "Calvinist!," "Where is Kaplan?" and "Stop the lies!"

Mascarenas said that she had to rent a podium for the protest because the Events Center would not provide one.

"I'm sorry that students weren't made aware of this earlier so a panel could have been formed," said Megan Reyes, MSCD Student Government Assembly president. She said that she didn't read his book but was glad that there was such a good turn out and charged students with learning the truth. Reyes said that she didn' t find out about Murray's visit until Monday and that caused a sense of exclusion.

Jody Andrade, a women's studies major at MSCD, was with a group from the Feminist Alliance carrying signs and chanting "stop the hate." She said:

"I didn't read the book but I have read reviews. I'm here to protest because anyone who would use pseudo-science to support their theories of racial inferiority

is a slap in the face for him to be here. He ---....-...... ...--......,,,,--.,...... ...... .,........,,.. ....... .,., says that white people who support black people are just 'white trash.' So I'm white trash and I'm proud."

Another protester, Fred Johnson of the American Friends Service Committee, said: "Wait until they get all the people of color and put us somewhere. What are white people going to do when they come get you?"

Dixon's words were cheered on when he spoke of how Murray perpetuates his statistics: "The persons who are attending this function tonight are members of the Colorado Council on Economic Education. I understand that many of them are K-12 educators. These are the same persons who will be in front of our children tomorrow. We are potentially inviting these persons to take these sorts of theories into the classrooms, which will have impact on our children, who then will become part of the data that Murray then uses to show why there is this great disparity between our children," Dixon said.

Break-in possible inside job Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan

All but one of the 29 video games at Sigi's Arcade in the Tivoli Student Union were broken into sometime between early Sunday morning and Monday.

Thomas Montanio, an employee of Automated Amusements, discovered the theft when he was servicing the machines Nov. 11.

"The first thing I noticed was one of the pinball machine doors was hanging open," Montanio said. He reported the burglary to Dennis M. Bryan, Program and Services Manager for the Tivoli Student Union, who reported it to Auraria Public Safety. "I proceeded opening the rest of the machines with them standing there," Montanio said

By the time they had finished open­ing all the machines any hope of getting fingerprints from the machines was gone, Bryan said.

Montanio estimated that $1,885.50 was taken from the video games. All the machines had padlocks securing the boxes that were unlocked with a key. The money vaults were locked with an Ace

lock and had been pried open. Some of the machines were locked up again after the burglary, Montanio said.

"Pretty bizarre situation," Montanio said. "I thought they had the place pretty well locked up down there."

Bryan said there was no evidence of forced entry on the outside doors.

"I simply don't know how they got in," said Bryan. "My gut feeling is some­body entered here by a doorway, hid, did their business and walked out the push bar, fire escape door, never to be seen."

Bryan said whoever broke into the machines had a master key. All the video games received new locks.

"This is not going to make everyone who walks into this place a suspect. We just can't live that way," Bryan said. "All the measures I would take to enhance security are very good but in reality it may not stop this from happening."

Automated Amusements owns and services the video games. They have a revenue lease agreement with Auraria Higher Education Center and AHEC's cut of the money collected is 40 percent.

Possible free ride for students if RTD program is approved Kent Lister The Metropolitan

Auraria students could be riding regional RTD buses and light rail for free using their student IDs, pending approval of an added student fee in a tri­institutional student vote.

The recent approval of about $500,000 by the Denver Regional Council of Governments to subsidize R-:rr> passes is contingent on student ref­erendum. There is no date set for the vote, but it is expected to take place by next fall.

"There is money available for a short-term subsidy to get the program off the ground and encourage people to use it," said Ken Lloyd of the Regional Air Quality Council.

Charles Buchanan, MSCD student, said that there would be a new student fee if the program is approved. Initial student fees, buffered by the subsidy, are estimat­ed at $12 to $14 per student per semester. When the subsidy runs out,, predicted to be in two years, the student fees would assume full cost for the program and jump to around $21 to $24 per semester.

In a recent Student Government

Assembly meeting, MSCD President Sheila Kaplan said she does not support the proposed RTD pass program because mandatory student fees would benefit only a segment of the students.

"I have a problem with students sub­s id iz ing it," Kaplan said after the meeting.

mm #It's easy tO§OY nol(ody cares about air quality, but ff lake~ lndlvlqua/ changes tp malie a

When asked why students should vote for it, Ajayi Harris, campus CoPIRG representative, said, "Along with environ­mental considerations, if you pay for parking, $2 a day for two weeks, you've already spent what you would for the· pass."

"I may not use the bus, but it will

free up a hell of a lot more parking spaces for me," he said.

Alfonso Suazo, MSCD student repre­sentative to the Board of Trustees, said a major concern he has with the referendum is getting enough students to vote. "What percentage of voting students should be considered representativ.e for 35,000?" Suazo said. "We are looking at many ways of trying to keep tuition down at this institution to keep it competitive and make it accessible to the greater Denver metropolitan community," he said.

"I would like students to have the chance to vote on the program again after the subsidy runs out," Suazo added. ''This would give them a chance to consider if the program will be worth the higher cost."

Michele Majeune of the Regional Air Quality Council said the goal to keep metro-area air pollution from violating federal standards would be helped by the . program.

"Efforts to reduce travel will directly and indirectly help air quality. It's easy to say nobody cares about air quality, but it takes individual changes to make a differ­ence," she said.

Joan Foster, chair of the student affairs committee, said that the Student Government Assembly is responsible for polling MSCD students about their views on mandatory student health insurance. The polling will take place Monday, Nov. 14, at noon in the Tivoli Turnhalle. -

Liz Friot, chair of the academic affairs committee, announced that the committee may implement a plan that would allow faculty to add plus and minus notations to the student grading scale (i.e. B+, D- etc.). Friot said the Admissions and Records department found that such notations are feasible and would not require new transcript paper or printing methods. However, MSCD's computer systems would require reprogramming to accommodate the changes to grade notation.

Jim Kelly~ who represents facilities management, said that a structural audit of Auraria buildings, which was con­ducted,,last year,, brought deficiencies to light. Major problems "with the 'b~ild­ings include heating, ventilation and lighting Kelly said.

History teacher lambastes class; student angered Dave Flomberg Staff Writer

On Wednesday Nov. 2, MSCD student Jacob Stone walked into his history class expecting a normal hour of note taking, and got a little more than he bargained for.

Stone said that when professor Tom Altherr entered the classroom, "he imme­diately began using obscenities, threats, and intimidation to whip the class into shape." Stone said he was appalled that Altherr would speak in such a manner.

"I am not a child, but a 38-year-old adult," Stone said. "However, there are younger students attending Metro, and I worry about some of them."

Stone said that Altherr told the class, "There are too many blank looks in the

class. If you don't start doing the read­ings, then don't come to class. I don't give a fuck."

Not all of Altherr's students share the same opinion as Stone about the tactics ·that Altherr used that day.

John Asti, a music major at MSCD, said that Altherr's comments needed to be voiced.

"I guess a few people were taken aback, but I've heard a lot worse," Asti said. "I like the guy. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had ... So he went off on the class. So what? We deserved it."

Altherr said he made the comments and that he stands by what he said and why he said it.

"I chewed them out for basically being intellectual parasites," Altherr said. "More and more I see students not taking

the time to do the reading out of class, then coming back and asking questions that clearly show they haven't done the reading."

Altherr, who was MSCD's Teacher of The Year in 1991, said that in the last few years students have exhibited a decline in behavior and attitude, which brings down the overall educational atmosphere.

"I don't want to be stuck teaching at a third-rate college, so I won't let this become a third-rate college," Altherr said. Stone has spoken to Steve Leonard, chair­man of the History department about transferring to another class. Altherr said that he has no problem with the student coming back.

"If he wants to come back, there are no hard feelings with me."

MSCD gets its own Internet system with a small rodent Donna Hickey Staff Writer

Mary Hanna, the new Information Technology Programmer/Analyst for MSCD, wants to get you gophering around.

The kind of gophering she has in mind is for students and faculty to use the MSCD Gopher Internet access and retrieval system. This system allows computer users to retrieve software, send E-mail, and list events, assignments and any information that is campus related. She has already posted courses from the course catalog.

Information surfers (basically anyone

using the Internet - the networks of net­works connected by computers) use the Gopher as a directory retrieval tool that provides access to the Internet. Through the Internet, users can reach across the planet via computer.

Hanna was the On Auraria Shared Information System manager for UCO; now she brings her computer expertise to MSCD.

Hanna said she is not a "techy per­son," and added that if she can use the Internet anyone can. The VAX is a virtu­al address extension where students can get accounts and use it as an on-ramp to the Internet.

Hanna is establishing a way for

MSCD's clubs, faculty and students to post a variety of campus related informa­tion.

Her E-mail address is [email protected] . For those who would like to give her information, it needs to be on a floppy disc in ASCII Text, Microsoft Word or Word Perfect. She is encouraging people to send her information they would like to have available on the Internet.

The information posted isn't read only by MSCD students who use the Gopher; anyone in the world connected to the net can go to the MSCD Gopher and see what campus related activities are happening.

Student wins lawsuit against Auraria David Thompson The Metropolitan

Auraria Higher Education Center must pay its share of unemployment ben­efits to an MSCD student after losing a court appeal.

classes at the university or college cannot collect unemployment," said Eric R. Decator, assistant attorney general for human resources.

However, the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the first decision to grant Korin unemployment because the statute unambiguously limits the exemptions to a student employed by a school, and enrolled at such a school, and found that AHEC is not a school.

"When someone works for Auraria it should be like working directly for one of the schools. So there should be no unem­ployment," Decator said, adding that that argument was rejected by the appeals court.

Chris J. Korin was awarded unem­ployment May 5 by the Colorado Court of Appeals after AHEC appealed an original decision to grant the claim on the grounds that AHEC should be treated like a col­lege, and therefore should be exempt from paying unemployment.

The purpose of AHEC is to operate campus facilities and general student ser­vices for the schools, without duplicating effort or expense.

"The issue is that a student working for a university or college in a job that requires the student to be enrolled in

Korin was working for AHEC at the game room in the old Student Union when his employment ended. He was required by AHEC to be enrolled at one of the three schools on the Auraria cam­pus as a condition of employment.

Korin worked for AHEC Sept. 12, 1988 through Jan. 26, 1990, in the Student Union. His job was to make stu­dent ID cards and hand out recreational supplies to students, faculty and staff of all three institutions at Auraria.

Your exciting career in cosmology

The Rev. Mort Farndu • First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine

I don't know about you, but I'm a

cosmologist . No, I don't do make-overs. I do cosmology, which deals with the

f structure, evolution and origin of the universe. Sure, it sounds pompous, but you don't need a Ph.D. in astro­physics to be a cosmologist. All you need is an open mind.

Because it's a big field. How big? Well, to put it in perspective, let's give it the super-ball test.

Super-balls are those tiny rub­ber balls that kids sometimes bounce off the cumulus clouds.

r Take a super-ball, preferably yellow - that's the sun. In reality, the sun is almost a million miles in diameter, but in our model, it's just under an inch across.

Now take a grain of sand -that's the Earth. Let's say the grain is one-hundredth of an inch across, so it's in proportion with the super­ball, the sun being 100 times the diameter of the Earth. Place the grain of sand about eight feet away

" I from the super-ball. That's Earth's ·mean distance from the sun, 93 mil­lion miles, or 93 inches on our scale.

Now imagine the grain in orbit around the super-ball: The Earth is tracing a circle, 15-1/2 feet in diam­eter, around the sun. You've got a model of the solar system going, all in proportion, right in your living room in Denver.

Now here's the test: On this scale, how far away is the nearest star to our sun?

The answer is Salt Lake City. Albuquerque, N.M., or Rapid

-_. City, S.D., would also have been accepted. The nearest super-ball in our scale model would be almost 400 miles away. That's the .. nearest star, our next-door neighbor in space.

In reality, that star is called Proxima Centauri and it's 4.3 light-

years away. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is 100,000 light-years across. So if you wanted to extend your super-ball scale model to include the whole galaxy, you'd need a work space almost 25,000 times greater than the distance of Denver to Salt Lake City, or 10 million miles, which is halfway to Venus.

Don't try this at home, though. In fact, don't try it at all. You'll go

broke buying super-balls, for one thing. You'd need a few hundred bil­lion of them to build the Milky Way alone. And that's only the begin­ning. There are billions of galaxies out there. Each with billions of stars.

It's awesome. Even terrifying. But no one ever said being a cos­mologist would be easy.

And you're not only concerned about form, either. Cosmologists don't just sit back and admire the architecture. They want the specs, blueprints, design principles. They want to know how the damn thing was built.

The cosmologist doesn't ask who built it, you understand. If you stop at this point and say, "God built it," the International Cosmological Society disavows any knowledge of your existence. Those short-cuts went out of style around the time the Roman Catholic Church was forcing Galileo to recant.

Cosmologists have theories about how the universe works. The theories account for as much of the observed phenomena as possible. Like the fact there are galaxies in every direction we look from Earth, all of them moving away from us. And the further away they are, the faster they're receding.

Exactly like it would look if you were standing on the surface of a balloon that was being inflated.

This inflating-balloon concept immediately suggests other ques­tions to the astute cosmologist. Will the universe inflate forever? Or will the expan;:oion eventually stop?

Could the balloon even begin contracting at some point? Is there enough mass in all those billions of galaxies to eventually throw the process into reverse? Will gravity ultimately cause the universe to shrink back into itself until every­thing is obliterated?

Stay tuned. It behooves every cosmologist

to consider the incredible shrinking universe, though. Because your mission isn't only to investigate structure and evolution, remember, but origins as well.

And the only way you get back to origins is by running the expand­ing universe movie in reverse. To run it all the way back to the open­ing credits, in fact, 20 billion years ago. Back to when everything in the universe - all those billions of galaxies with their billions of stars - were squeezed into the space of, say, a super-ball.

Which is a lot like considering how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

The answer, of course, is all of them.

It's called the Big Bang. The Big Bang is the Holy Grail

to cosmologists. In the beginning, all the matter and energy of the uni­verse were compressed into a pin­point in space. Only there wasn't any space as we know it - that happened after the Big Bang. And there wasn't any time, either, since that was created with the Big Bang, too. Space and time arose together out of this original cataclysmic event.

Only the most daring cosmolo­gist will ask the next question: Where in the bejesus did all of this matter and energy come from in the first place?

If you want to answer God now, you can. But you're not a true cos­mologist if you do. And I have no more time or space to argue the point.

It was a monster mash Geraldine Haldner The Metropolitan

Love never dies in Bram Stoker's "Dracula." In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," love tries to be revived.

The most famous horror story of all time has been told in many different ways. Boris Karloff's interpretation of the monster is probably the one best remembered for its focus on sheer horror.

Kenneth Branagh, star and director of the new version, said he intended to keep it close to the original novel by Mary Shelley.

The tale of a man who wants to cre­ate life from dead flesh was first con­ceived in peaceful Geneva. Shelley wrote the novel in 1816, as society anxiously awaited the dramatic changes that the industrial revolution would bring.

"Frankenstein" plays out Shelley's Gothic-inspired fantasy to its fullest. Scenes of Geneva, the Swiss Alps and Ingolstadt let the viewer drift back to pre-industrial Europe, unbelievably rich and filthy at the same time.

The movie starts out in the Arctic Ocean as the ship of Captain Walton (Aidan Quinn) and his crew collide with an iceberg. Walton is obsessed with the idea of reaching the North Pole, which will bring him infinite fame.

It is in this icy cold where Walton and Victor Frankenstein meet. One will make the other aware of the price paid when obsession turns into reality.

Cut from the blue-gray Arctic scenery to idyllic Geneva, where Frarikenstein's childhood is told in bright

Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh), cheats death, selecting another piece of human flesh to create the nameless creature that will hunt and destroy him and all those he loves. colors.

But the happy times are over when Victor's beloved mother dies in labor. He vows on her grave to find a way to fight the irreversible reality of death.

Victor buries his grief in school­books, studying to become a doctor who will do more than just help the sick - he wants to revive the dead.

Victor leaves Geneva and his adop­tive sister, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), with whom he has fallen in love, to go to Ingolstadt, Germany.

Victor's attention is quickly claimed by the sinister Professor Waldman (John Cleese), who is rumored to have spent his youth exploring the possibilities of man-made creation.

Waldman desperately tries to warn Victor, but after his death the door to the unspeakable is wide open. Victor enters.

As cholera rages through Ingolstadt, Victor has to act fast. He shuts himself off from friends and family and contin­ues his experiments.

One electrifying night, his efforts are rewarded as his creature struggles into life.

A monster is born. The story takes the viewer on a quest

of two beings. Victor, appalled by the ugliness of his creation, flees and tries to forget. The monster, torn between hate and love, follows.

Branagh's "Frankenstein" focuses on the humanity within the creature.

Alone, despised and driven by a rage born of emotional agony, the creature sets off to find hfa maker.

Robert De Niro, in his role as the monster, gives another of his all-time performances. A childlike sensibility shines through a face deformed by stitch­es and layers of decayed flesh.

Branagh's performance is moving at times but falls short during direct interac­tion with his creature.

Carter lends beauty and femininity to "Frankenstein." But horror shows in her eyes as she becomes a victim of Victor's obsession.

The scenes are a fast-changing series of ice and fire. Opening and closing in the Arctic are not impressive. The ice looks too artificial and the raging sea is clearly the product of many technicians on a sound stage.

The scenes in the Swiss Alps, on the other hand, are real and breathtaking in their beauty and coldness.

But the key is the creation scene. Fire, bubbles and electric sparks are everywhere, as Victor, half-naked and covered in sweat, arranges pieces of human flesh to create, in a crazed man­ner, the unspe_akable.

"Frankenstein" is a movie about obsession and love. Victor's obsessive love kills Elizabeth. The monster's des­perate quest for fove'tfMtfo~ vtemr.

"You gave me life and then left me to die," the monster says. Victor realizes too late that love can't be revived.

"Frankenstein," rated R, is showing at the AMC Tivoli 12 and other Denver locations.

The sexual politics of harassment Geraldine Haldner The Metropolitan

The time was right for controversy when the play "Oleanna" took the issue of sexual harassment to the stage in 1992. Images of Anita Hill and' the Tailhook scandal were still reverberating in the public's mind. Now, the movie "Oleanna" takes the issue to the big screen.

"Whatever side you're on - you're wrong." This subtitle suggests what the movie does not offer to the viewer. "Oleanna" is not a 10-step program for how to deal with sexual harassment.

There is no side to side with, there is no judgment to judge.

The movie begins with Carol (Debra Eisenstadt) a lonely, rather insecure stu­dent, just learning that she is failing a course in liberal arts. She appears in her professor's office without an appointment. John (William H. Macy) sits down with his student to discuss the grade.

At first the conversation seems innocuous, then it turns into a platform for John. He espouses his own pedantic ide­ologies on education and life, but ignores Carol's cry for help.

Carol, asks questions that go unheard,

she takes notes that make no sense. John bombards his student with his ideas. Ideas she can't grasp. Ideas she doesn't like.

John, pleased by Carol's helpless­ness, offers her an A if she meets him again. He sees it as· an opportunity to break down the usual wall between stu­dent and teacher in a system he despises.

Carol sees it in a whole different light.

She walks away feeling confused about the entire episode. Dissatisfied, she files charges of sexual misconduct against him.

John's life breaks into pieces. He asks Carol to meet him again. But with each meeting, their roles blur more.

The balance of power shifts. Carol assumes control and John defends himself in vain. With X-ray-like intensity, they attack each other intellectually, morally and finally, based on the gender roles that Jed them to this debacle.

Macy portrays John as a professor caught in a trap he built for himself. Desperately he tries to get out, only to fall deeper and deeper. He verbally assaults all of Carol's beliefs. But he victimizes himself with each word he says.

Eisenstadt's Carol changes from a

insecure student into a fierce fighter for the right to be respected. Sympathy is on her side until she reveals a hidden agenda. Is she abusing the two words - sexual harassment - to accomplish her own goals?

The movie is a brutal account of two people trying to communi­cate. As they fail, they destroy each other. Rapid-fire dialogues between the two sides dominate. Primal in its intensity, their war of words turns violent at its climax. The viewer is pulled from one side to the other and then suddenly left alone - alone and dissatisfied.

No stranger to controversy, David Mamet has always provided fuel for numerous debates on issues of class, race and gender.

This movie offers an uncom­promising look at the issue of sexu­al harassment as it affects teachers and students on college campuses in the U.S. and all over the world.

It leaves you helpless, with your opinion double crossed. You feel cheated looking for a solution , since you won't find it.

A teacher fears for his reputation when his student accuses him of sexual harassment In David Mamet's controversial "Oleanna," which opens Nov. 18 at the Esquire.

Triumph of the photographic will Michael Moynihan The Metropolitan

Leni Riefenstahl has a lot of people caught between a rock and a hard place, and their frus­tration often shows. As the pre­eminent cinematographer of Hitler's Third Reich, she has been castigated and denounced for insidiously propagandizing a totalitarian regime.

After the last shots of WW II were fired, she spent three years in Allied imprisonment, only to be vindicated of any criminal charges.

The case against her as a Nazi apologist and unrepentant Hitlerite is sketchy at best, but the evidence for her standing as one of the most important female artists of the 20th century is monumental.

If she had been born into any other decade or country, her recognition would have been assured. But due to the circum­stances of Riefenstahl's work, it has yet to be respectfully acknowledged in her homeland, and is still often harshly criti­cized abroad.

Undaunted, she perseveres, -spetrding--recent ·years- deep-sea . scuba diving with both motion and still photographic equip­ment, working on an feature film based on her underwater explo­rations. At age 92 she continues her vitally exciting life as if she were a 19-year-old.

Most notorious for directing the film Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will), a docu­mentary about the 1936 Nuremberg Party Rally staged by

the Nazis, Riefenstahl has never denied her initial fascination with Hitler nor her professional relationship with him. The Fuhrer had been an ardent admir­er of Riefenstahl's mystical and allegoric film Das Blaue Licht

--

(The Blue Light), which she had both directed and starred in. During his first meeting with her in the early 1930s, he reportedly declared, "Once we come to power you must make my films" - and so she did. After working on three smaller government­financed productions, Riefenstahl began the magnum opus of propaganda films, "Triumph of the Will." Even now, more than 50 years later, this 110-minute exaltation of Nazi pomp and circumstance is still never shown in Germany, due to its sheer mesmerizing power. Elsewhere, particularly in Japan and the United States, Riefenstahl has been acknowl­edged by honest film historians with creating a cinematic master­piece, regardless of its political ramifications. The film is a tour­de-force of epic images, which makes the nearest cqntenders in the genre - such as Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin - seem feeble in comparison.

In 1936, Ricfenstahl was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to do a full-length documentary of the Olympic Games in Berlin. Taking the opportunity to pursue myriad experimental film techniques,

including underwater photogra­phy of swimming events, previ­ously unheard of film angles and months of editing the vast result­ing footage, Riefenstahl created a timeless representation of sporting competition and athletic performance.

Having become a rare collector's item, this magnificent photo­graphic album has just been reis­sued by St. Martin's Press (which also published Riefenstahl's memoirs in 1993) as Olympia in a sumptuous cof­fee table edition. Beginning with mythical images of ancient Greek statues and ruins, the cam­era follows a series of noble Grecian torchbearers running the Olympic flame along endless stretches of landscape before it cuts to the Berlin stadium. The rest of the book presents shots of the various competitors and events spanning from pole-vault­ing to sailing races, each seen through Riefenstahl's masterful

detractors that Olympia represents just another re-working of her fascist aesthet­ics is short sighted in the extreme. The photographs glori­fy a cult of the body and an ideal of physical greatness, to be sure. They depict man in pitiless struggle against one another, a conception the Nazis would no doubt approve of. But one can leaf through the pages of Olympia indefinitely without uncovering any overt or hidden political agenda. It simply does not exist. Despite the tired accu­sations of her critics, LentoP· Riefenstahl towers above them in vision and achievement.

And, ultimately, this is what frustrates them the most.

Ireland gets MSCD speech professor Catherine O'Neill The Metropolitan

The Speech department will be miss­ing an instructor for a few weeks this semester. Gary Holbrook left Oct. 11 for an expedition to Ireland. Although the trip is not underwritten by MSCD, he intends to "bag" a few Irish intellects for next spring's Friends of Ireland series, the next phase of Irish cultural exchange initiated by Holbrook since he introduced the Irish debates in 1979.

Holbrook first traveled to Ireland on sabbatical early in 1979 to do research on the College Historical Society at Trinity College in Dublin. The society, estab­lished by Edmund Burke in 1747, is the oldest in the British Isles, and Holbrook, an established and highly respected direc­tor of debate in the United States, went to study the different kinds of debate motions.

While there, Holbrook taught a term in the education department at Trinity and attended the finals of the Observer-Mace Debates for the championship of the British Isles.

"The Irish teams finished first and second," he said. "Cambridge and Oxford didn't even make the finals but had been touring the U.S. since 1924 under the sponsorship of the English Speaking Union." -

Holbrook, impressed with the talent of the young Irish debaters, determined to get them sponsorships as well. After try­ing unsuccessfully in Ireland, he finally convinced the Adolph Coors Co. to under­write the series for three years as a public service to the students at MSCD.

"They didn't insist on any input in the series at all," Holbrook said. "They weren't even interested in selling beer here, either. I found that very interesting."

After Coors dropped the sponsorship in 1982, Holbrook formed the Friends of the Irish Debate Series, which MSCD underwrote until its transition last year. Holbrook, who had envisioned a 10-year run for the debate series, said that after 15 years, it was "time to move on to some­thing else." Last year he passed the baton

. -to the National Parliamentary Debate Association, a collection of colleges and universities throughout the states that now sponsors the debates.

The "something else" to which Holbrook moved on to is the Friends of Ireland Series, which welcomes scholars and artists from Ireland to share their expertise with students and others inter­ested in continuing their connection with Ireland.

"There is a vast Irish community in Denver," Holbrook said. "In this age of cultural diversity it gives those (members of the Irish community) an opportunity to interact with scholars and recognized fig­ures from Ireland."

Holbrook said the Irish guests are often impressed and amazed by the size of the Irish community in Denver.

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

"Many of them have been to Chicago, Boston and New York, and they don't have a clue about the interest level here," he said.

Last year, the theme was "Prospects for a New Beginning." Three renowned Irish leaders were on campus to discuss the push for peace among loyalists and nationalists in Ireland: Gordon Wilson of the Irish Parliament; Tom Garvin, a pro­fessor of political history from Dublin; and Eugene McCague, chairman of the Glencree Center for Reconciliation in County Wicklow. Preceding years have featured Christine Murphy, a journalist for the Irish Times; Jerry Stembridge, Irish playwright and director; and John Heywood, professor of education at Trinity.

"I'm not looking for 'professional' Irish people, full of blarney," Holbrook said. "I'm looking for authentic scholars. I'm also interested in finding individuals who are prepared to come without the sense of money being the incentive."

Holbrook said he has never asked for more than $5,000 from the college to fund these cultural visits, adding that the amount offered to one speaker on campus is often at least that much. The money for Friends of Ireland now comes from the various academic, rather than administra­tive, departments, he said.

Holbrook has already lined up Irish architect Christine Casey, who specializes_ in 18th century architecture, for the spring semester. Casey will be giving lectures in the Art department as well as a public pre­sentation. He is currently seeking either a renowned poet or Joyce scholar to join her. Among the prospects are internation­ally known poet Seamus Heaney; Brendan Kennelly, professor of literature at Trinity; or Joyce scholar David Norris, also a professor at Trinity and a member of the Irish Parliament.

"I'm actually very fortunate," Holbrook said. " I do have a network in Ireland of people I know."

Fortunate, indeed. In one of the many pictures on his walls, Holbrook can be seen standing alongside President Mary Robinson. His name is directly below Robinson's on the list of vice presidents of the College Historical Society at Trinity. Quite an impressive honor, and only one of many that Holbrook has amassed in his 26-year career as professor atMSCD.

One of the most important education-al aspects of the program for Holbrook involves breaking down stereotypes of the --... Irish that many Americans have, he said. Although he admits many Irish people still have a naive world view, he's always impressed at the Irish sense of intellect.

"I'm trying to provide a different per­spective of an academic culture that has had a large impact on the world," he said. "And to get beyond the television sense of 'The Quiet Man.'"

All ·their hoops and dreams Michael BeDan Sports Editor

The women's hoops squad gave fans a small glimpse into the 94-95 season Tuesday night with an intersquad scrimmage and displayed a new look for Roadrunner basketball: outside shooters.

As anyone who followed the team last year knows, MSCD had trouble putting the ball in the hole from any distance further than inside the paint. Not a problem this year if Tuesday's scrimmage is a preview of things to come.

The A-team, comprised of mostly starters and immediate back-ups, shot .560 for the game and scored 70 points in the scrimmage. This is light years better than last year's team that struggled to shoot .300 on many nights.

-

Big contributors in the shooting department are Veronica Wong, a Northeastern Junior College transfer, and Vanessa Edwards, a transfer from Panhandle State University. Wong was 3-6 from three-point land and scored 17 points in 34 minutes of action. Edwards was unstoppable in the paint, scoring 16 points on 8-12 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds and added two blocks.

Ai'" Head coach Darryl Smith, who took bis team to the national tournament last

The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wllets

season, wouldn't make any predictions, but said this year's team is very well round-ed.

"Last year, and every year I've been here, we've had a hole to fill at one spot or another," Smith said. "This year we are strong at all five spots."

Smith knows he has something special in Edwards, as was evident in his pre­scrimmage comments.

''We have a new player in the post who is very impressive," lie said. "Wait till you see her play."

Edwards did not disappoint, and her dominance inside will surely open up the outside game that MSCD seems to posses this year. The A-team shot .444 from downtown and got three treys from Mary Henry who finished with a game high 29 points. Roadrunner veteran Sarah Eckhoff said the strength of the . team this season is the ability to work inside or out.

"Last year we had a lot of people who would drive to the hole,'' Eckhoff said. "No one would really shoot outside though. This year we can go inside or kicldt out to our shooters."

The scrimmage was just a chance for the players to run the floor, and for Smith to try different combinations as players shifted from the A-team to the B-team throughout. The final score was 70-48 but was not indicative of the game played.

Both sides showed a prowess for defensive tenacity as every shot was chal­lenged, and tight in-your-face pressure was applied throughout.

Shannon Wise, who just completed the soccer season and was a redshirt for the basketball team last season, said the team is young but very talented. She agreed that defensively they are as strong as anyone.

"Definitely defense is our strength," Wise said. "But, we have a lot of great shooters this year too."

Shlloh Justice looks to pass the rock to an open teammate In Tuesdays inter­squad scrimmage at the Aurarla Events Center. The Roadrunners begin the regular season Nov. 18 In Billings, Mont. In the Eastern Montana Tournament. Last season, the Roadrunners won the Colorado Athletic Conference and lost In the first round of the Division II Natlonal Tournament.

The Roadrunners return just four players from last year's squad including Wise, but should be stronger overall according to Smith. MSCD added five college trans­fers in Wong, Edwards, Adriana Rivera (Northeastern Junior College), Amanda Simmons (University of Wyoming), and Chalae Collard (Western Nebraska CC). Two freshman recruits, Shiloh Justice from Pueblo South High School, and Michelle Marshall from Hemet High School round out the new additions to the Roadrunners squad.

The Roadrunners open the season November 18 in Billings, Montana in the Eastern Montana Tournament and play their home opener Dec. 2 against the University of California at Davis.

Reality-check in order for Broncos Michael BeDan Sports Editor

Somebody stop them The Denver Broncos have been

exposed. Wade Phillips and his entire coaching

staff, along with team-owner Pat Bowlen, tried to tell anyone who would listen that this was the most talented Bronco team in memory. Well ... ·they may have more individual talent than most Bronco teams fielded in the past 34 years, but the word "team" does not exist when referring to this collection of underachievers. The cohesive glue that binds championship teams is AWOL in the Dove.Valley orga­nization for a number of reasons. Regardless of why, the team '"that almost could, but never did," doesn't need an overhaul but definitely a very, very thor­ough tune-up.

Coaching Sorry Wade; you are a great guy, a

very capable defensive coordinator and a player's coach, but ... nice guys finish last. You'll bounce back and probably revamp some team's defense, but as a head coach you don't quite have what it takes, as proven by the team's lack of dis­cipline and its inability to be motivated for important games, i.e. the Raiders game. Also, the Broncos are the ninth­most-penalized team in the league

Sorry Jim Fassel, I know Elway loves you, and you have a tremendous grasp of

.. -

offensive schemes, but the play-calling has ranged from the pedal-to-the-floor attacking style that seems to suit Biff an4 his mates, to shades of a former offensive throwback who is currently on a six-game slide in the Big Apple. I'd swear Mr. Conservative was faxing plays to you when you decided to run the ball three times with two minutes left in the first half of the San Diego game. The Broncos had nothing to lose after the horrible start to the season, but they played like a 4-2 team trying to make fewer mistakes than

· the other guys and it could have cost them the game.

Sorry Charlie, though no one needs to tell you that, since you've been reduced to wearing a heac!Set and. simply hand signal­ing Wade's calls into the game. The efense you coached, when it was yours, just lacked something ... D!!I

As long as the coaching staff is ill­prepared to cc\mpete each week, so will the boys in orange be ill-prepared.

Management Dr. Frankenstein, ahem, Mr. Bowlen,

the experiment has failed, and though you made the right choiqe in giving Reeves the boot, you were sadly mistaken to think you could play a part in football deci­sions. You have no. business trying to meddle with things b~st left to those in the know. It's time for you to go after the most logical choice to fill Wade's inevitable absence, Jimmy Johnson. Open your wallet and suppress your ego. Give Jimmy full control of the organizational

decisions, including hiring a staff, and all personnel moves. He is a proven winner and a shrewd judge of talent and, oh, how sweet it would sound to hear him scream, "How 'bout them Broncos," though the rest of the nation would cringe just like we all did when he said that about the 'Boys.

Bob Ferguson, well, you built the beast in the east (Buffalo), that has become even more of a laughing stock than our own four-time Stuporbowl losers, and you never will get that vaunted core of players it takes to win as long as you focus on just one side of the ball. You can't be solely blamed for personnel moves because Dr. Frankenstein was playing intern, but you did make the calls, so ... goodbye.

Players When you bring in good players from

bad teams, the talent is there but the win­ning attitude isn't.

Rod Bernstine and Anthony Miller had one good season in San Diego (11-5 in 1992), but never knew what it was like to be expected to win. Elijah Alexander never won in Tampa Bay. Jon Melander and Kirk Scrafford didn't exactly come to Denver from a dynasty in Cincinnati, and taking table scraps from winning pro­grams isn't very prudent either, as is exemplified by Ted Washington from San Francisco. Leonard Russell is a man, but the Patriots have a losing tradition, too.

There are players on this team who receive ample playing time under Phillips

that would be cut in the blink of Jimmy Johnson's scrutinizing eye. Rondell Jones must have had his heart removed along with his thymus if you base his desire on the effort he gave against the Raiders. Jimmy wouldn't have even allowed Jones to shower after that game. He would have been cut, packed, and gone before reporters even entered the locker room.

Team? The bottom line is this: The Denver

Broncos right now should be 7-2 at worst, and, for whatever reasons, they can't win. The Phillips' factor seems to loom largest because they have not been ready to play in a bunch of games they should easily have won, dating back to last season. Minnesota at home, after building a 20-3 lead. Tampa Bay at home. San Diego at home. The Rams on Sunday. Denver is ,.. not a motivated football team, and the Elway Era is almost over. He still has a strong arm and plenty of mobility for a 34-year-old, but one hit could end it all If the Broncos hope to send the Duke of Denver into the car business full-time with a ring, they must be swift and smart. A certain Fox broadcaster comes to mind when both a quick fix and a long term solution is needed. You can't fire Pat Bowlen, you can only hope to enlighten him before his own bad judgment both exposes and defines him and his organiza­tion as perennial coulda, woulda and shoulda been's, but can't, won't and ... didn't.

The MSCD women ' s volleyball team's chances of winning the Colorado Athletic Conference became extinct last week when the team split a pair of key conference matches.

The Roadrunners, 21-14 overall and 7-3 in the conference, looked ready to move up in the standings Nov. 1 after a win over Colorado Christian University, 15-4, 15-12, 15-2.

MSCD jumped all over the Cougars , in game one, but struggled in· game two,

"'" falling behind 8-2 before coming back and eventually winning 15-12. Game three was almost a mirror image of game one, with MSCD dominating.

"Overall we played pretty good," coach Rhonda Williams said. "But after we thump a team in the first game, we h~ve a tendency to take them for granted and think it will be as easy as the first game."

Despite the minor letdown in game two, the Roadrunners dominated the match, getting 14 kills from senior Crissy Canada, 12 kills from senior Chelsea Terrell and 10 kills from sophomore Stacey Hoyt.

WHERE: WHAT: WHEN:

Novemher 11, 1994

to winning the CAC came Nov. 3, when they lost a must-win match to Air Force, 13-15, 15-10, 13-15, 8-15.

"We just didn't play very well," Canada said. "We had a couple of key players who just didn't perform."

Despite getting 26 kills from Canada and 23 kills from Terrell, the Roadrunners committed 30 hitting errors and ended with a .270 attack percentage.

"I guess we just underestimated

OU them a little bit," Canada added. "Last time we beat them in three straight games, and we thought it would go like that, but it didn't."

Air Force, by beating MSCD, secured second place in the CAC and its chance to play in the regional tourna­ment. MSCD is ranked fifth in the national rankings from this region, and only the top four teams from the region go to the tournament.

The Roadrunners' only chance of making post-season play is if they beat the University of Denver Wednesday, Nov. 9, and beat Regis tonight. MSCD will also need Air Force to beat Regis in their match. If both happen, the fate of the Roadrunners will lie with the decision of the regional selection committee next week.

On a positive note, Canada broke three MSCD records last week. She became the all-time leader in block assists with 438, overtaking Catherine Guiles, who set the previous record in 1985. Canada currently has 75t' total blocks, 30 more than the all-time leader, Guiles. Finally, Canada has a .389 career attack percentage, .078 points higher than the lead~r Wynema Hunter, who played for MSCD from 1992 to 1993.

Sport,s briefs Backstroke Swimming season began for the

men's and women's teams at the CSU Early Bird Inviiational Oct. 28 and 29 in Fort Collins. The men placed sixth and the women took eighth_place. On Saturday both teams had a meet against the University of Colorado at the Auraria Events Center. The men won 133-81 and the women were beaten 106-105, putting the teams at 1-0, and 0-1 respectively.
