"I love the comfort, luxury, ride, and
spaciousness of my new Brougham.
I especially enjoy the leather
upholstery since my cocker spaniel and
dachshund are my constant companions.
I've always enjoyed working with
Gary and his crew and appreciate the
attentive service department when I've
needed it."

Here are two exciting hair trends for
fall you won't want to miss: the return
of short hair and macro cuts.
Short hair is rapidly gaining in popularity
on both coasts. Unlike the rigid short styles of
past decades, this season short hair returns
with true finger-combing, change-as-you-go
versatile looks. Heavily gelled spikes are gone
in favor of cuts with more length on top that
allows styles to move. Many women say they
feel younger and more attractive with ashorter cut that highlights their features.
Macro cuts are sophisticated styles for both
men and women. The flavor is Continental ,
with emphasis on cut and color, creating business or casual looks with a simple, artful
transition of design. These cuts are short to
mid-length, with atouch of whimsy during the
evening and sleek during the day.

NEW AGE EDUCATION:
THE NoN-TRADITIONAL
by Kay Rios
heir numbers have increased and it's
projected that they will continue to do
so. But exactly what is a non-traditionalage student ; who are they, and what are they looking for?
The term non-traditional age (NTA) sets them apart. With
tradition being the established order, it implies that this
group does not fit in to the accepted standard . That standard,
in this case, is young. Although definitions vary from institution to institution and agency to agency as to age cut-off, the
more common one seems to be anyone over 25 years of age.
NTA student numbers have increased nationally. The
Chronicle of Higher Education registers the nation's NTAs
currently at 43 percent of the enrollment. Locally, the figures
are high as well. Larimer County has been heralded as having
more adults (over 25) per capita attending higher education
courses or programs than any other county in the state.
At Colorado State University, the standard is more restrictive by categorizing NTA as regularly-enrolled, undergraduate students over 25. This figure is estimated at 12 percent,
but does not include special admissions programs, continuing education courses , short-courses or graduate students.
" If," Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs John Snider says,
"you count all regular, part-time, evening, short-courses,
seminars, they (NTAs) are by far the majority. " Snider attributes that to CSU's Division of Continuing Education. " It is the
largest in the state by about 10,000 student credit hours."
Snider says the number of NTAs has increased tremendously in the past 10 years. "Previously, the tradition was to
come here at age 18, live in a residence hall, go four years .
Not everyone realizes how much of an increase there has
been but the Division of Continuing Education (at CSU) only
started in 1975 and is now serving over 24 ,000 part-time
students a year. "
The classification of the regularlyenrolled, over-25 , undergraduate student is misleading and narrow. Carlson
says that 42 percent of graduate students are over 30 years old . And , Naomi
DiBona, an associate director in the Division of Continuing Education, says " Ten
years ago the mean age was 28. Now the
mean age for our programs is 36 years
old," and, she believes, "that may even
be a little low."
Larimer County Vo-Tech has seen this
same growth in NTAs. The growth , in
part, influenced their decision to combine with Front Range Community College and change their designation.
" About 90 percent of our students are
non-traditional ," says Mitch Kamen ,
manager of instructional services at VoTech . " That was part of the reason for the
conversion. In the late '60s, Vo-Tech was
planned as a high school offering. When
we opened it to continuing education
and adult courses , the popularity flipflopped . When we opened , we served
200 adults and 500 high school students.
Currently we see 5000 adults and 400 to
500 high school students. It didn 't really
make sense to have a post-secondary
institution operated by a high school district . That was a contributing factor, and
so was the need to effectively serve a
growing adult population ."
Who makes up this growing adult
population? Research shows that they
come from a variety of lifestyles, income
levels and ethnic backgrounds. While
the national figure shows two-thirds of
the NTAs are women , CSU 's figure registers 57 percent men . They are single ,
married , divorced , parents .... _ the list
goes on.
Why are they back in school? CSU 's
Office Coordinator Mickie Carlson
believes " it's a reflection of underemployment and unemployment. "
Snider adds that it's directly related to
"the rapid changes that are taking place
in society because of new technology.
The information age has caused some of
our careers to become obsolete quickly;
so, we have to go back to school. "
DiBona believes that there is a broader
spectrum of reasons for the increase in
NTAs. She agrees that , for many, it is for
career change and professional advancement, but she adds self-fulfillment and
socialization to the list of reasons.
Whatever the reason , this group has
exhibited needs outside of the " traditional" ones. Carlson says those needs
often revolve around specially-geared
counseling. " They first need to be
assured that it's not crazy to come back
to school. They may also need help with
career assessment and they may need to
identify their interests. We've been
taught that identifying your own interests is a selfish mode for adults. So you
have to give adults permission to be self-
hand to search themselves ." Counseltg, she says , helps with these issues
1d with other anxieties like not having
een in school for a while and now havtg to deal with math modules.
Carlson says the NTA office also offers
·oblem-solving counseling, and that
Jmetimes includes direct intervention
ith professors. "Sometimes we get pro'ssors who don't want to deal with
Jmeone who has six kids and the probms that arise because of that. "
The NTA Office tries to provide the
Jpport necessary and advises on what
arlson calls a wholistic level. "We prode special orientation, survival semin·s, study ski lis and stress management.
:J that everything can "happen simulneously, " Carlson says they use a
Jmber of referrals and work with fin anal aid, admissions, and career services.
1e student is urged to look at their
·esent situation and their future as well.
What does the future hold for NTAs?
ational research indicates an estimated
·owth rate of 6 to 7 percent each comg year. Snider has every reason to
:dieve the same will be true of CSU and
3.rimer County. "This group will absotely grow, especially when you conder that the fastest growing age group
35 to 44. The 18 to 24 group is decling. That is a demographic indicator. "
And, Snider adds , another factor is
at this age group tends to have more
jucation already. " Larimer County will
mtinue to see a rapid growth because
·companies like Hewlett Packard , NCR,
1d CSU. We are a highly educated
Junty to start with and the more one is
jucated, the more likely they are to
mtinue their education."
Snider says that CSU is making the
msition for the current increase and
eparing for more growth in NTAs . "The
her thing that is happening is that our
culty are scheduling more late afterJOn and evening classes." He expects
see these kinds of changes continue .
Rex Kellums , CSU's vice president for
:ademic affairs, also acknowledges the
ojected increases and agrees that ser:es will have to be increased as well. "I

:~ditional office arrangement. We don 't
3nt to duplicate services already
fered. A study group has been comissioned for the fall to look at what
TAs need and the best way to serve
ose needs. "
And as CSU and other schools look at
creasing NTA enrollment and services,
1ider looks at a new title: "I like to call
e non-traditional-age students 'the
l W majority.' "
The following are profiles of people
h o currently fall into this " new
ajority ."

Toni Brownhill
Even though Toni Brownhill completed
her undergraduate work in anthropology, graduating from CSU last May, she
insists, " graduation didn 't mark an end
of anything. "
Instead she signed up for a five - week
course in Mexico as part of the Experiment in International Living program ,
sponsored by CSU for academic credit.
" We lived with families and had two
hours of class a day. "
Her education wasn 't limited to the
classroom as she explored the culture
and the language. "I had a chance to be
involved in politics and meet a lot of
people. Their perception of us is really
different than we would like. They , for
the most part, see us as butting in and
not letting them make their own decisions. "
That was an education in itself, she
feels, and says she worked hard to
change the negative attitude about
Americans .
The trip was a rewarding one. Brownhill believes that additional educational
experiences will also offer rewards; she
has registered for more classes in the
fall .
Toni Brownhi/1: "Non-traditional students
are compulsive students because there 's
a lot at stake. I also wanted to be a good
role model for my three kids. "
Returning to school had been in the
back of her mind for some time . She married and didn 't finish college when she
was younger. After living as an Army
wife in Germany for three years , her
husband, Jim, got a job in Rapid City and
"through his contacts in Rapid City we
were able to come here."
In 1972, Brown hill and family moved to
Fort Collins and, in 1974, she took a class
at CSU . "I didn't have a purpose in mind
STYLE
at the time . Then I had a mid-life crisis or
something and felt I needed to do something with my life. I was accepted by
Leadership Fort Collins and the next
year I was on the steering committee. I
finished with that and still had to do
'something.' "
So, about three years ago , when
Brown hill was 38, she says, "I knew I had
to go back." She started back half-time
at first, and slowly weaned herself from
her community activit ies. She then
received a full scholarship for the last
two years and was able to attend fulltime.
Being an NTA helped, she believes .
"Non-traditional-age students are compulsive students because there's a lot at
stake. I also wanted to be a good role
model for my three kids. And it helped
that I really wanted to be there. I loved
every minute of it."
There were the disadvantages of student life. " Our life changed so much
because of my being in school - not
financially, but in other ways. I stopped
cooking and cleaning as much . I had to
study late at night after 10 or 11 when
everyone else was in bed. Our day-today routine changed and so did our
priorities . It wasn't so important to have_
everything so perfect."
Her family supported her, she says
with pride . "Everyone in my family
flexed . It was kind of a lark for them , I
think. Thank God , mY boys learned to
drive when I was in school. That helped a
lot. My 10-year-old daughter learned
how to cook. I think it was good for all of
them . The real disadvantage was the
time away from them, but I tried to minimize that."
Other than the time factor, Brownhill
doesn 't see any disadvantage to being
older than the "average" student. "I was
there because I wanted to be and could
do what I wanted and in the way I
wanted ."
Brownhill has advice for others who
are thinking about joining the increasing
number of NTAs: "Be flexible . It's a
bigger commitment than you think it is
going to be. Don't put too much pressure
on yourself. Just enjoy it."
As for her own educational plans, she
says, " I hope I never stop learning ."
Bill Kneeland
" I've never felt that age was a negative
factor, " says Bill Kneeland on being an
NTA.
Kneeland attends the University of
Wyoming Law School and works as a law
c lerk for Wolfe and Suther land, PC,
attorneys at law. In fact, there's not much
he finds negative about his situation
other than the the time requirement.
With commuting 65 miles to school,
school work, working, and family, he
often finds himself in the time crunch .
" With a wife and two kids , you have to
make some adjustments and that means
financially, too . The kids also make sacrifices because there are things they
would like to do but the budget has to be
adjusted . The biggest adjustment is the
Bill Kneeland: "The biggest adjustment is
time. In my own business, I controlled the
time; now time contrails me."
time thing. Being in my own business, I
controlled the time ; now the time cont rolls me. "
Kneeland 's bus iness was Olive's East,
offering gourmet coffee, tea and spices
to the public. But, in 1984, after 10 years
in the business, Kneeland decided to
return to school to get a master's degree
in marketing . " I did it to help in my business. I had already sat out 11 years and
didn't want to sit out another 11 . After
getting his master's in science and bu$iness administration at CSU , " I decided
to keep going. "
Law school seemed appropriate
because "there were so many different
areas I could work in and still stay in Fort
Co llins." Kneeland chose business and
corporate law, and adds practical experience to his textbook learning by working for Wolfe and Sutherland . He works
part-time during the school year and
full-time during the summer.
Being older has been an advantage for
Kneeland . " Having been out there (in the
business world) , you want everything
now to be practical and so it's a good
idea to work in the field at the same time .
That way , besides getting theory, I'm
getting practical experience. "
" Age-wise , I really didn 't have an
adjustment to make because there were
quite a few older students in the masters
program . And at the University ofWyom-
ing, Kneeland says, "The median age is
29. This is the oldest class they have had
average-wise . There are six others my
age (he's 37) and six others older than
that. "
lfthere is a drawback to being an older
student, Kneeland says it would be that
" It's hard to feel part of the school.
There's no time for the extra curricular
activities. Once you've gone back after
being out in the world, your goals are
totally different. You want the education
and not so much the social aspects."
Returning to school, Kneeland says,
" is hard to do, but if you have the opportunity, do it. Anytime anyone thinks they
have had enough education , they are
making a big mistake."
Lois Clifton
Lois Cl ifton, a graduate student in communication development at CSU, sees
age as both an advantage and a disadvantage.
On the advantageous side, she says,
non-traditional students "are selfdirected . That is the biggest advantage.
We know what we want and we are here
for a purpose. Traditional students are
often here because they don't know what
they want or because they don 't want to
go into the service."

Clifton says her goals revolve around
self-actualization. She is studying literary writing and editing , taking classes
full-time , while working part-time as a
teaching assistant at CSU.
As a teaching assistant , Clifton has
dealt with NTAs on the flip side of the
coin. "I've taught NTAs and I have found
that because they have worked in the
outside world, they tend to do better in
the classroom . Some of the most interesting writing in my classes comes from
NTAs, because they have varied experiencesand they give meaningful, insightful responses ."
Clifton feels that, in being an NTA, "the
advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The importance of education in
our lives is more important than the feeling that you don 't fit in . It isn't a bed of
roses, and will have its ups and downs.
You just have to put your goals first. "

Mary Paragon Roberts is back in school
at 31 " to improve my life and provide for

STYLE
Roberts says she knows she made the
right choice in returning. " It's been difficult," she says, "especially financially,
but it's worth it because I see so many
more opportunities ahead of me."
In her third year at CSU , Roberts is
working toward a bachelor's degree in
fine arts, specializing in graphic design .
As a single parent, Roberts has held a
variety of jobs to support herself and her
daughter, Annie. She describes her past
vocations as "certainly less than glamorous . I wanted something that would
allow me to create, develop a talent and,
hopefully, stay in this area while Annie is
in school."
Roberts moved to Fort Collins with her
parents, Lou and Mozelle Paragon, when
she was eight and developed ties with
the area . With her daughter's involvement in school and other programs, she
felt it necessary to find something that
would allow her to remain in Fort Col lin s.
She began in a liberal arts program and
" then I was asked by a friend to help
design some things for a non - profit
organization she's involved in, and I
found that I had talent in that area. It
seemed like the right direction and as I
started taking more art classes , it
became very clear that was where I
belonged ."

the homework. There is something to do

think that you're hard up because you
are older and in school, but that's not the
case," she says with assurance. "You're

Mary Paragon Roberts: "It's been difficult, especially financially, but it's worth
it because I see so many more opportunities ahead of me."
Roberts believes there are more
advantages than disadvantages to being
an NTA. "I don't want to go out and party
every night. I take this very seriously and
I seem to have a better perspective
because I know how lucky I am to be in
school. I think a lot of younger students
think this is the natural progression get out of high school and go to college
and so they take it for granted."
Roberts says her age has given her
insight as to the value of education and
helped her develop a good sense of
direction. "I know where I want my life to
go, what I need and what I want. At 21, I
didn't know those things."
Because she values the education
she's getting, Roberts says, "I'm more
willing to pay attention and devote my
time and energy to class. I don't miss
class because I'm paying and I have an
obligation to myself to get the most out
of each course."
Roberts also believes her age has been
an advantage with other students and
with many of her professors. "The students around me come to me with their
problems and I think they look up to me.
My instructors are aware that I am there
to learn and not to mess around. I think
they appreciate that."

His experience has given him the ability to adapt concepts to reality and has
also formed his opinions . "I have strong
opinions," Campbell says. "Fifteen years

the professor wanted me to say."
Today, they are his own opinions,
based on what he has learned in the
working world. "Some of the time, it can
be a little bit of a disadvantage because
the professors disagree with my opinions."
But he adds that it's never been a
major problem. "They let me voice my
opinions and don't grade me down
because of them."
Campbell has, however, found some
difficulty with structured class situations.
He feels he performs better in a less
structured class where concepts are discussed and shared rather than where the
student must follow preplanned direction.
"I've been a boss in a business environment for a long time. I don't take direction very well- I give direction."
Originating from Chicago, Campbell
wound his way across the states to
Steamboat Springs. Three years ago he
came to Fort Collins to help open the

attending CSU to work on a masters of
science in management.
Campbell felt the time was right
because "business schools have

With his career already in place,

" I'm glad, in some respects, that I
waited," says NTA Helen Kaplan. "Right
after high school, I didn't know what I
wanted to do. The philosophy at that
time was get married and so I did . By
waiting to go to school later, I have really
learned from this education process."
Kaplan , 40, graduated from CSU in
May with a degree in social work. She is
currently attending Denver University,
working on her masters in social work .
She is continuing her coursework
because, she says, she has learned the
value of higher education .
After high school, Kaplan attended a
vocational school and became a medical
technician. Working in that field, she put
her husband, Pete, through school. After
nished (he is now a clinical psycho itin Fort Collins) and after her two
>were bigger, "I felt stagnant. I also
1ted to get out of the medical field and
I more with people."
t that point , Kaplan became involved
1 the community, giving a good
>unt of volunteer time and effort to
tl agencies. "I returned to school
vly, beginning in 1983. The kids were
3 so I did one class at a time, then two
m they were in kindergarten. When
y went full-time, I increased to four
sses a semester."
:ven though her life was comfortable
J had a set plan, Kaplan wanted more
education to reinforce her sense of
security. "I really feel that a woman
should have an education for herself and
just in case something happens. Working with the Crisis Center and United
Way, I saw women on welfare who had
no skills they could fall back on after a
divorce or when their husband died. I
saw all these women who were incapable of handling their affairs and I want to
always be able to support myself. I made
up my mind I was not going to be like
that."
Even though she's glad she waited,
Kaplan admits there are still some drawbacks. "It would have been easier if Pete
and I had gone back together. It's hard
going back to school and having a family. Pete works 70 hours a week and then
there's the house to take care of."
Kaplan says her family has pitched in,
however. "With the kids being older,
they're a big help. They are so supportive. They fold the clothes , mow the law
and take care of my pride and joy- the
flower bed."
Kaplan says she feels they are proud
of her. "They went to my graduation and
cheered. Pete said he cried. It made
them feel so good."
After CSU Kaplan wanted to continue
but again needed family support. " Before
BACK TO SCHOOL: STEP BY STEP
oing back to school doesn't have to be a
ustrating, confusing experience. Several
ograms/services exist which are designed
get the adult learner into the educational
stem. So if you're interested in joining the
owing numbers of NTA students, one of these
ay work for you.
RIMER COUNTY VO-TECH has a new name and
new mission, according to Mitch Kamen,
nager of instructional services. As Front
nge Community College/Larimer County
mter, Kamen says opportunities for adult
arners will be expanded. "We will be adding
new classes, some intended to transfer to
ur-year programs and some for our assoate degree option. All programs for high
ihool students and adults which are currently
•re will remain. Now in addition, students can
rsue a two-year associate degree."
Kamen says there is no admission criteria.
"his is an open door institution and everyone
welcome."
Although Kamen says that mail-in registraon will continue to be accepted for the trans ion period , he encourages anyone interested
attending to first attend an orientation ses1
on. "For the fall we will have a series of
ientation and advising sessions. We start
ith basic assessment tests. Then we schede advising, orientation, and offer job placeen! information. We'll advise them , register
em and send them on their way," he explains.
Kamen says FRCC/ LCC provides special

ould be helpful for the NTA. There are also
wer numbers to deal with , and that helps

ant to go on to a four-year program."
Special Program Counselor Vicki Bailey also
rfers individualized program planning. "First
1e work up a plan, and then we set up referrals
~ e Employment Training Services, Women's
enter, and so on, depending on the need. We

help them put it together so they can go to

Bailey says career assessment and development classes are also available. Services
don't end with initial assessment. A case management system of tracking is then used, "until
they get going, " she says. "Through our maintenance program, we make sure they get the
help they need. We can also set them up with
mentors - someone working out in their
chosen field ."
Kamen calls it "one-stop shopping ," and
adds "we're growing and evolving, and we
invite the citizens of Larimer County to grow
with us."

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY also offers a
number of options and services designed to
help the NTA student find what they need and
then go about getting it. Besides regular admittance as a degree candidate, there's space
available, degree or non-degree Continuing
Education classes, conferences and seminars.
The NTA office, located in room CBOA, Clark
Building, offers pre-enrollment advising to
help put the potential student on the right
track. "We can also help them with career
assessment," says office coordinator Micki
Carlson.
"After a career area is picked , we set students up with a professor in the field and a
person in the community who is currently
working in the field . We have them look into
the labor department projections and examine
academic realities. For instance, you can't
hate math and think you'll go into nuclear
physics."
So that everything can "happen simultaneously," Carlson says they use a number of
referrals as well, working with Financial Aid,
the Admissions Office and Career Services.
The NTA office, she says, also provides special orientation for NTAs the Saturday before
classes start, as well as offering survival
STYLE
seminars, study skills and stress management.
Carlson also highly recommends the Career
Services Center for advising. "They offer
excellent services and are very helpful."
For appointments or information, the NTA
office number is 491-7753; career services center, 491-5707.
Whatever the reason , whatever the need, the
Division of Continuing Education has something
lor you: correspondence courses, Surge (videotape delivery system) , on-campus and offcampus classes and seminars, not-credit programs and more.
"We are the bridge to the campus," says
Naomi DiBona, a Continuing Ed Associate
Director. "We help that transition . Students
may, lor instance, start with one non-credit
course. Through that they gain confidence and
then take a credit class. Then they enroll in a
program."
DiBona says that student advising is available and can help the potential student decide
what he/she needs to do. Another advising
option is Adults Back to College , "as easy as
ABC." Offered by Advising Services, this examines concerns and issues of returning adults.
Another option , the Guaranteed Admissions
Program, is geared toward "working adults,
homemakers and other students who are not
ready to enter CSU as full-time, on campus
students." To qualify, you must be a Colorado
resident with a high school diploma or G.E.D.
After completing 24 credits and maintaining
established grade standards , you will be
admitted as a regularly enrolled student. Certain programs , however, may have additional
requirements . Advisors are available for
information and help. For an appointment

options, call491-5288.

Helen Kaplan: "Support from family and
friends is the name of the game."
Support is the key, she says, and
explains that she hasn't felt any isolations because of her NTA status. "CSU
had a lot of non-trads and I had a lot of
support. I didn't feel alienated from the
younger students at all, but I did get
most of my support from other nontraditional age students. They understand if your kids are sick and they'll take
notes and help you out." And, she adds,
"CSU has a fabulous non-traditional
office. They were really very helpful to
me."
Kaplan now carpools to Denver with
other NTAs. "We can help each other
prepare for tests on the way, and talk
about problems." Support, both from
family and friends, Kaplan stresses, is
the name of the game. It's helped get her
through .

LIVE IT UP
AT CITY HEALTH CLUBS
By Faith Kuhns
A
re you bored with the same old exercise routine? Live a little. Join a health
club and vary your regime. Choose from a dozen preferred sports or
exercises. Relax in a bubbling whirlpool and partake of healthful foods in a
convenient restaurant-lounge . Take a vacation without leaving town.
One in seven Fort Collins residents do. That beats the national average of one in 10
and swells the ranks of 10.5 million health club members across the country. The
15-year-old fitness boom may be losing steam, by some estimates, but it still accounts
for an $8-billion-a-year industry.
In Fort Collins alone, more than 10,000 residents belong to health clubs. Individuals
pay up to $713 yearly for the privilege of belonging to a full-service gym . And that's a
bargain compared to some East Coast cities, where individual memberships start at
$1,000.
Got kids? Drop them in the nursery for a few hours or enroll them in club-sponsored
children's activities. Initial family memberships run $1,221 a year at Pulse and $1,123
at Fort Collins Club. Beleaguered parents are willing to pay the price to take a
mini-vacation without boarding a plane. The good life is as close as the ir full service
health club.
The benefits of health club membership may be obvious. As Lorie Peebles of
Healthworks notes, "It's motivational. Most people buy exercise equipment for their
houses and then walk by it every day. " Peebles is sales and marketing manager at
Healthworks.
Dr. Jack Harvey, a sports medicine physician at Fort Collins Orthopedic Associates,
asserts "Exerc ise is beneficial for everyone. Health clubs come in by supplying the
equipment, the instruction and the social environment that will motivate people. Some
people are good at exercising on their own. They'll get up at 6 a.m . and put on their
running shoes. And they won't miss a day. Others need to have the expectation of
showing up for class and the encouragement of classmates and instructors."
Harvey added that the first-time members should get proper instruction and "not
overdo whatever they embark upon, especially if they haven't been exercising at all."
Dr. Mary M. M. Hoffner, who has an advanced degree in exercise science, noted that
for the uninitiated , "The heart is the main concern. Patients with high blood pressure
or weight problems need to work out an individualized program with an exerc ise
physiologist"- a benefit most city health clubs offer.
She added that the average club loses 60 percent of its members each year, due, in
part, to a lack of realistic fitness goals. As Monte Huber, manager-partner of the Fort
Collins Club notes, "You can 't undo over night what it took 20 years to do to your
body."
Here's Style 's look at the six leading health clubs in Fort Collins and a checklist of
the amenities they _offer.
THE FORT COLLINS CLUB
The Fort Collins Club is the largest and most complete full service club in town. It has
indoor and outdoor pools, and on Lydia's Style 's checklist of amenities , lacks only
tennis courts.
Also, it appeals to a wide range of memberships, including senior citizens and
chi ldren. Senior citizens get reduced rates and are offered customized classes. For
chi ldren there are swimming lessons and summer camps. Locally, it boasts the largest
number of company memberships (more that 200 companies represented), and
expects to have a total of 2,500 memberships (family and couple memberships count
once each) by fall.

Michael Smith, majority owner of the Fort Co.
fins Club, looks forward to the completion c

"Our new expansion will double the

expansion will include a large new area
for cardiovascular and aerobic facilities."
Social activities abound at the club ,
with a weekly Friday Afternoon Club ,
festive in-club tournaments, and "three
to four big activities a year," including
dances and an annual Hawaiian-style
pig roast.
FORT COLLINS AJHLETIC CLUB
The Fort Collins Athletic Club is the oldest and most established in town, having

f3 for couples to $52 for partners.

msen, "young families are a major
aw."
The Athletic Club lacks squash courts
1d a restaurant or lounge area in its
i, OOO square foot building. But it has a
Jol with "walk-around deck," Hansen
Jted.
Also, the club offers bio-feedback
ress management workshops and has
registered dietician on staff.

A classic 1950s Lilli Ann evening dress
L
illi Ann is a 55-year-old company with upto-the-minute fashion ideas. Begun by
Adolph Schuman in 1933 in a small room in
San Francisco's Chinatown, Lilli Ann
rapidly became known as an exclusive, sophisticated dress and suit line. The business grew rapidly,
doing well over $1 million a year by the early 1940s in
sumptuous San Francisco showrooms .
Today, Lilli Ann occupies two three-story buildings complete with showrooms, design rooms,
manufacturing facilities, and over 500 employees;
many have been there 20, 30, even 40 years . Eight
designers put together five complete lines annually,
all made on the premises.
The company mirrors founder Schuman's standards and fashion philosophy. "Quality first" has
always been Lilli Ann's motto. Hand tailoring, meticulous finishing, and superb fit characterize every
garment. Fabrics , whether from Europe, the Orient,
or the U.S., are the best available.
Schuman's expertise as a textile designer, along
with his fashion and financial acumen, were so well
respected internationally that the U.S. government
sent him to France as a consultant on the Marshall
Plan after World War II. As he helped to rebuild
Normandy's woolen mills, a key part of the French
economy, he became close friends with the couturi ers Balenciaga and Chane!, and later the protege of
Carmel Snow, editor of Harper's Bazaar, absorbing
their principles in sty!e and high fashion quality.

STYLE
Lyd ia's Style Magazine
Beautiful, vintage Lilli Ann coat
Winner of the Dallas and Chicago
parel awards, the Lilli Ann fashion phi3ophy is now changing slightly to
:Jate fashion excitement for women of
ages. Since Schuman 's death in 1985,
3 company continues under guidance
son-in-law Daniel Benatar, president,
1d Schuman's wife Jo , senior vice
esident.
tll1988
Jeanne Taylor, vice president and head
designer, supervises the design staff.
"We're family , working together and
compiling ideas. That's the only way it
can work," she claims. Taylor, who has
been with Lilli Ann since 1963, says Lilli
Ann designs are clean and classic , styled
for active women who travel , have
careers, or who volunteer.
The Fall 1988 collection features a
dominant suit group, with precision of
line and the appeal of texture. Unique,
specially designed shades of color have
been created so that all of the fabrics
- wool crepe, fibranne blends, Ultra
Suede, and knits - will work well
together. Suits this season have a slightly
dressier approach, a new sophistication
and sleekness. The fur-trimmed suit collection, a Lilli Ann favorite since they
first appeared after 1945, is back with a
contemporary, updated look .
Season highlights in the Lilli Ann fall
collection include knits trimmed with
Ultra Suede. Sporty dressing reaches a
new level of sophistication with the
sweater coat and %-length sweater
jacket, made with a half cardigan stitch
and finished with french looping, and
fashioned out of prime quality Australian
zephyr wool. Other groups include a
white and taupe collection in light weight
fibranne blend fabric , ideal for transitional dressing, and a stronger-color
group of navy and camel with touches of
red.
Today, Lilli Ann collections represent
the best of two worlds- the traditional
classics admired by Lilli Ann customers
over the years, plus an additional dimension - a bolder, more contemporary
look which is capturing the imagination
of a new generation of women .
Adolph Schuman wouldn't have it any
other way.

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN:
The Relationship of History
to Personal Image and Style
By Lawrence Bamford
H
A residence influenced by
eighteenth century plantation houses.
ow often do we
think of ourselves as being
a part of a larger
integrated design environment? Today people have
an increasing awareness of
personal appearance with
the accompanying desire to
look good, to be fit, and
dress well. This is at least
one aspect of personal
style. If one takes the time
to examine style in the
larger contextual sense,
two factors take on new
meaning : First, the objects with which we surround ourselves in our homes - the furniture, accessories, and
objects of art; second , in the next larger context, the
shelter or architecture we inhabit.
Both interior product-oriented design (the objects that
occupy interior space) and architecture (the enclosure
of space) have definite stylistic connotations. While we
may take the time to carefully select proper fashion ,
jewelry, certain appo intments, and even personal modes
of transportation , little if any time is devoted to an analysis of the "total design " look. Context is the buzz word of
the eighties. It has to do with being complete and choosing your surroundings so that they relate to you .
Environmental design is often referred to as the total
environment, including man-made forms in harmony
with the natural setting . Designscape is another word
used to convey a complete approach to stylistic analysis.
What we are describing here is "fit" ; that is, how you
relate to your immediate environment. In the process of
accomplishing "fit", you have the opportunity to make a
statement about yourself. The choices involved in architecture and design directly affect personal image and
style .
Understanding and having an appreciation for the historical styles of design and architecture is necessary for
making intelligent design choices. Thousands of books
have been written on how to recognize and identify historical styles in architecture and design . Don't confuse
these references to style with the style you want to create
fo r yourself. Consciously think about the image you
want to portray. Style has a relationship to preferences in
color, materials, and form . Quality is really the key. Being
able to recognize quality is imperative. Important points:
(1) Match your architectural and design tastes to your
lifestyle. (2) Hire professional designers to help you
make decisions. (3) Acquire enough knowledge to assist
in the process .
STYLE
If your exact preferences are undecided or you are somewhat open to
change, do your homework before contacting a design consultant. It will be
helpful to have a definite plan in mind.
For your investigation, be introspective
and determine which designs attract you
in the areas of architecture, interiors,
furniture, lighting, product design, and
art. Think about and write down your
initial impressions. Check out design
reference books from the library. St udy
various design-related periodicals. Visit
design showrooms, local and metropolitan design centers, and, finally, consider
enrolling in a history of architecture and
design course at a university.
At this point you may be ready to contact a professional designer. One lifestyle analysis method was very ably described by interior designer Gary Hixon in
the Fall, 1987 issue of'Style. An attractive
feature of the process of UNA or User
Needs Analysis is that it enables you to
discover some insights about yourself .
Specifically , you can chose from
innumerable historic styles and revivals
of previous influences in design and
architecture. Become familiar with the
differences between Federal , Queen
Anne, Mission, Second Empire, and the
Neo-Classical styles. At the same time,
be aware of the current trends. Be open
minded. Most of us are very slow to
change our preferences and often look
upon new designs with suspicion . Metaphorical language is often used to
describe our impressions and biases,
such as "that new chaise lounge looks
like a bathtub." The current so-called
Post-Modern movement, a doublecoded historically eclectic reaction to
the unembellished facades of the International Style, is having a profound
influence on all forms of design. PostModernism has multiple facets including : High Tech, New Wave, Memphis,
Barcelona chair by Miles Van der Rohe,
1929.
Abstract Representation, Eurostyle, -Milan, Neo Pop, and Free Style Classicism, to name a few. By following current periodical articles, you will stay
abreast of recent design trends. Magazines simply are able to react more
quickly to change than books are, and
they also present a continuum of information. Historic styles are well represented in Larimer County residences,
even including a few examples of the
most contemporary architecture and
design.

STYLE
Balance and harmony within a room are
also essential. Moving scale cut-outs of
furniture on a copy of your floorplan is
one method of action. This is also much
easier than moving actual furniture.
Depending on the room and its shape, an
asymmetrical arrangement adds interest. Almost all rooms lend themselves to
a number of possible arrangement
schemes. One basic rule has always
been to avoid placing too many massive
pieces with delicately proportioned
ones. Quite often the thread that ties the
entire design together is the similarity of
the materials in the furniture, even
though the other stylistic features are
unlike. Keep rooms from looking cluttered. Although the "busy" look was
acceptable in 19th century, it is definitely
out today in favor of a functional, efficient appearance.
Other rules suggest that contrasts
which are too startling should be
avoided. For instance, if the room is very
contemporary, it might not be wise to
add a piece that is too Baroque. However, on the other hand, one might argue
that interiors are a direct reflection on
individual personality. Therefore, since
the '80s are admittedly eclectic, personal
choice has never been given so much
freedom! Being a bit outrageous is fine.
Because an effective design environment constitutes quite a complex puzzle,
exact solutions aren't easily described,
partially because the choices are so
numerous and highly individual. A successful living arrangement involving
architecture, interiors, and furniture is a
proper synthesis of aesthetic and technical considerations and necessarily
involves the understanding of the elements, principles, and process of design.
Mathematically, an infinite number of
solutions are possible, but only a few will
be truly outstanding. Designers are
using computers more and more to
rapidly access their alternatives. Design
at its best is exciting and dynamic, useful
and rewarding.
Good design can also be an excellent
investment. The workmanship, materials, and intrinsic quality found in qualitative design can be appreciated by others. Art has long been considered an
investment opportunity, and design is
now viewed as an area worthy of the collector's attention. Furniture, architectural elements, products, and original
drawings of architecture and design are
hot items these days. One of the great
advantages to owning design is that you
might, in the case of furniture, consider it
functional sculpture. That is, it can be
used and appreciated for its function as
well as for its appearance.
You can influence your personal style
by consciously creating a comprehen-
14
sive contextual image that incorporates
your total near environment. The bottom
line is that in an age of increased awareness and appreciation of design, both as
a process and as an end product, you
have a chance to express your creativity.
With easily accessible knowledge to
guide you and readily available professional help to assist, you can have it all!

I
've never been much for the "Oide English" style restaurant. Heavy atmosphere, heavy utensils. Heavy food.
Large amounts of it, but once through a meal I usually felt
like the Titanic-apres the iceberg.
When Style decided to preview the Moot House under its new
ownership, I had mixed feelings. After all, I'd been there . I'd had
a few great meals, but most leaned on the shallow side of mediocre. I'd heard a few things about the new owners, but just how
much difference could two fairly young restauranteurs make in
an institution like the Moot House?
They've already made a difference, and it's fabulous . The
formerly slightly oppressive atmosphere is gone - replaced
with new paint, new accoutrements, new zest - everywhere.
Scott McCarthy and Steve Taylor are young, and so is their
attitude. Their energy. Their tremendous personal belief in the
great value they offer their guests for the dollars spent is a
wonderful thing to witness, because they're right. Most of all, it's
their sheer enthusiasm, blended with their personalities and
creativity. Combine the professionalism of Walter Cronkite with
the outgoing personalities of your favorite morning disc jockey
team, and you've got McCarthy and Taylor.
"We want to rebuild the Moot House to get the excitement
back!" McCarthy says. The Moot House has a new menu and a
new name. Formerly known as "The Moot House - Food and
Grog", the new subtitle of "Restaurant and Pub" suits the new
Moot House as it moves toward the 90's.
"The new menu features proven Moot House favorites and
lighter dishes with greater emphasis on chicken and fish,"
McCarthy explains. "The best value we give is with chicken and
fish dishes, and the fresh fish we get is outstanding ." Virtually
everything served is prepared in-house, including the 16-17
items on the inviting, newly renovated salad bar. All beef is
dry-aged.
McCarthy and Taylor stress that along with outstanding food
- and value - service is primary. "We treat people as our
guests, not our customers, with personable service, " McCarthy
says. "We don't want to say 'no' to people."
"We want guests to make the decisions on rewarding service,"
Taylor says. "Either Scott or I are always here, and we greet each
table personally. We're there immediately if there's a complaint.
We want the Moot House to be a positive experience and for
people to go away happy." They go out of their way to accommodate everyone - and that attitude has included the unexpected, such as going out for film for a wedding party and
peanut butter for a child. They'll even do separate checks for

groups in the three different banquet rooms
that seat 16-40.
The two admit that their biggest problem
is overcoming the Moot House's image as a
special occasion-only restaurant, saying
many customers have been going to the
Moot House for special occasions since
their college days. While encouraging the
special occasion-crowd, McCarthy and
Taylor are placing new emphasis on the
Moot House as a family restaurant, with
dinner prices averaging $11 and an allinclusive children's menu at $3.95. Nightly
"Supper Savors" will feature a speciallypriced entree with the freshest ingredients
Head Chef Taylor can procure.
The recipes on the new menu are a culmination of McCarthy and Taylor's combined 20 years of restaurant experience.
They met while working for Steak and Ale in
Dallas. McCarthy, who "always wanted to
have my own restaurant", is a UNC graduate with experience working in the Greeley,
Boulder, and Fort Collins Moot Houses
before several years in various locations
with Steak and Ale . During Taylor's extensive Steak and Ale experience, he spent
several years in the South, especially in
New Orleans, where he "really developed a
taste for the Cajun style of cooking", learning how to properly blacken food in true
Cajun style.
They've included several blackened items

3ctacular blackened redfish and
)erb blackened prime rib. All black3d items are prepared by dipping the

CSU's funding is directly
affected by this man's
policy analyses.
Meet Dr. David Longanecker
by Sandy Cowan
Dr. David Longanecker,
Executive Director, Colorado Commission on
Higher Education
Dr. David Longanecker, newly elected Executive Director
of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education , sees
himself as a policy analyst. Appointed by the governor of
Colorado , Longanecker analyzes policy for the CCHE. His
analyses directly affect CCHE decisions, which ultimately
influence monies allocated by the State Board of Agriculture for Colorado State University and other state colleges.
A predominant trend of older
students going back to CSU means
"achieving our lifelong learning "
objectives, Longanecker said. As
more students return to higher education, it costs more dollars for the
state. Problems exist in retra ining
and in re -education, in parking ,
daycare, and financial aid for single parents.
Longanecker is a Stanford doctoral graduate and has worked in
the Congressional Budget Office.
He says his focus is "more on
developing good policy than on
regulating higher education. I'll
provide good, strong policy analysis to the Commission. It's then the
Commission's responsibility as lay people to shape that
and to state back to the General Assembly and to the
governor what they think the best policy development is
based on that analysis."
The mission of the Commission is "to implement the
directives of the General Assembly, and to promote and
preserve quality, access, accountability , diversity and
efficiency within Colorado public higher education."
The Commission consists of a nine-member lay board
appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
The CCHE makes statewide policy for higher education in
Colorado and sets policies for the seven state governing
boards of higher educational public institutions. The State
Board of Agriculture is the governing board for Colorado
State University.
Longanecker, who has been in his current position
since June 20 , was attracted to Colorado 's opportun ities
and challenges, both personally and professionally. The
demographics of the Colorado population, such as the
minority and the economically disadvantaged, present a
principal challenge "to make sure that we can incorporate
those previously disenfranchised folk into the higher education industry. " He sees the CCHE as a change agent,
and " whenever there's change, there 's going to be some
tension, " which may be centered around the issues of
STYLE
tension," which may be centered around
the issues of quality, finances , and
accountability. Since the nature of the
Commission is to do statewide planning
and coordination , he plans to review new
and ex isting programs and possibly discontinue several to best meet the needs
of the people.
With finances, the CCHE is ultimately
the one to "divvy up the pie of state funds
for higher education in the state . We
have to balance those resources that are
provided to institutions, which may lead
to some conflict and friction. The conflict ex ists between our goals of providing greater access to the residents and
providing higher quality programs or
more funding to the programs. Tough
decisions ex ist about how to most
appropriately share the burden of fi nancing this enterprise between parents wh o
pay tuition, between the state, which
provides financial aid to students, and
between the state's aid directly to those
institutions to operate.
"On the accountability side, we want to
make sure that these institutions are providing quality education and how we judge
that is on the outcomes of the process, not
on how hard they try but how well they do.
That's always conflict-ridden."
The state appropriation fo r higher
education is almost $385 ,000 ,000. The
amount appropriated from the General
Fund of the legislature for CCHE is
almost $25 ,500,000 , which is primarily
state-funded financial aid . Dr. Longanecker feels comfortable working with
this , but say that " its a fairly modest
investment. "
Just over $8,000,000 is provided in
need-based grants, about an equivalent
amount in merit based scholarships , and
approximately $7,000,000 in college
work-study funds. These are used to
complement a substantially larger
amount in financial aid from the federal
government through Pell grants and
others. The Pel I grant program provides
about $35 ,000 ,000 a year in the state.
Students borrow about $129 ,000,000
through the federal guaranteed student
loan program .
The institutions receive monies from
the state and federal governments to
form the financial aid package for students. The institutions receive money
directly from the federal government
programs, which are larger than the
state's.
The State Board of Agriculture has
approved CSU 's 1988-89 operating
budget of nearly $103 million, a $10.4
million increase over the previous year.
"The state 's intention in increasing
appropriations for higher education ,

low, a Colorado student enrolled in
ine semester credit hours will be
harged $772, a $35 increase per semes-
ter over during the previous school year.
"Tuitions," Longanecker explains, "are
the way in which the consumer shares in
the expenses of this enterprise." He feels
that to stay on the cutting edge in new
technologies , to attract strong faculty
and quality students , construct new
buildings, it takes a high quality enterprise with sufficient resources to provide
for that. More resources need to be
injected into the system to improve it.
"The one thing that disturbs me," he
says, "is that tuition went up 4.8 percent
and the state's share of financial aid allocation only went up 4 percent. That
means for those students who have
assessed need , we did not keep pace last
year. If you are to raise tuition by X percent, then you'll need to increase financial aid by Y amount to assure that you're
not emding access."
Longanecker's new goals and visions
are mostly compatible with the Master
Plan that was just completed for the
CCHE. It comprises five main themes:
the quality of education to be provided in
the state, the access to that education,
the diversity of opportunity, the efficiency of the enterprise, and the accountability of the enterprise.
He perceives the quality of education
to be the most pressing issue for the
state . One way to address this is through
a set of accountability measures that
account for the outcomes of the enterprise and ascertain if objectives are
being achieved. For example: "CSU
would develop their set of accountability
measures within a set of statewide guidelines. They'll look at ways at which they
can measure the achievement of their
graduates, how well they are doing in
getting their students to graduation,
whether their students have learned critical thinking, reading, writing, and com-

puting skills. We'll have evidence to
account for the quality of education."
"We'll hold CSU accountable on their
achievements in affirmative action. Are
they attracting minority students and
faculty? Are they graduating?"
Budget and finance will be a major
issue for the Commission and for the
institutions. "Those who are demonstrating they're doing the best job will benefit
from that and incentives will benefit. A
strong incentive the state has are the dollars it provides."
CSU obtains funding through a process. The university submits a budget
document to its governing board, the
State Board of Agriculture. After review,
discussion and approval from the board,
they make a budget request to the
governing agency that puts together the
budget for the governor of Colorado, the
Office of State Planning and Budgeting
and for the Reexamination of the Base
Committee to the Colorado Commission
on Higher Education. These two agencies present a funding recommendation
to the Joint Budget Committee, which
decides how the budget is divided and
then makes recommendations to the
General Assembly. They pass the Long
Bill, which stipulates the appropriations
for CSU. The State Board of Agriculture
relates the decision as to how much
money CSU receives.
To provide access to higher education
means providing better information.
Longanecker is presently looking at a
proposal for the establishment of a
higher education information center,
where people could call in to find out
what sources are available in their community to better understand what they
can do to match their skills and interests
in the educational setting. Facts would
be available on where to go for help.
For non-traditional age students,
Longanecker believes in integrating the
welfare and human services programs,
the employment programs, and financial
aid to meet their needs. Several concerns would have to be addressed.
"Some people suggest that most of us
will have four to 10 jobs in our lifetime.
Many of us will need retraining or reeducation. We have to do a better job the first
time we educate these people and provide them with critical thinking skills and
the ability to learn on their own so that
we don't have to retrain for everything."

REAL ESTATE
THE WISE
INVESTMENT
By Carolyn Wade
Present market conditions
are great for investors
because property prices are
very reasonable, interest
rates are low and there is a
demand for rental property
in good condition . One investment strategy is to buy
with a break-even or positive cash flow and let your
tenant pay off the debt. You
will eventually have a free
and clear income-producing
property.
D
espite newspaper and magazine reporting on
the ramifications of the Tax Reform Act of
1986, many people still seem to be somewhat
uncertain about the viability of real estate as
a profitable , low-risk investment. While some of the
advantages of owning real estate were stripped away by
the Tax Act, residential real estate has not been adversely
affected by tax reform .
Consider: real estate and mortgage interest are still
completely deductible for a primary residence as well as
a second home. It is still possible to sell a principal
residence at a profit and reinvest the proceeds in another
house within two years and not pay tax on that gain.
Under certain circumstances, a person 55 years or older
can still sell her home and not pay tax on the sale up to
$125 ,000 of gain, even if she doesn't reinvest. Buying a
home is probably still the best single investment that
most people will ever make.
But what about buying additional residential properties as investments ? Though the days of widespread
tax-oriented investment are gone, some opportunities
for tax-advantaged real estate investments remain . For
example, if owners actively participate in managing a
rental property, they may claim up to $25,000 in losses
from such activities to offset active income. However, the
amount that they may deduct under this rule is reduced
by 50 percent of their adjusted gross income over
$100,000. (Thus , taxpayers earning $128,000 may deduct
$11 ,000.) For investors with adjusted gross income
under $100,000, buying an apartment building or single
family rental will remain an attractive investment.
Serious investors usually consider four important factors before making any investment decision: safety, the
potential for change in market value, yield and liquidity.
It is interesting to see how real estate investment compares to other investment opportunities.
STYLE
SAFETY
According to a chart prepared by John
Dorfman for a November 13, 1987 article
in the Wall Street Journal, bonds, T -bills,
notes and other securities are usually
considered the safest investments.
Insured savings accounts at banks and
savings and loans are next, followed by
insured money market accounts.
But do you know anyone who got rich
investing in super-safe investments such
as U.S. Government obligations and
insured savings accounts? Probably not.
In terms of safety, how does real estate
rank? Sound , well-located property
rarely fluctuates wildly in market value,
as can common stocks, bonds , and some
other investments. Over the long-term,
real estate usually appreciates in market
value . The National Association of Realtors reports that the typical home appreciated 7.4 percent in market value in the
last 12 months. While appreciation in
Fort Collins' property values in the past
year hasn't been as high as their national
average, we did experience 4.5 percent
increase in average sales price from
1986 to 1987. Over the past 10 years, we
have seen an 85 percent increase in the
average sales price in Fort Collins.
Mortgage lenders believe real estate to
be a very safe investment; they regularly
loan from 70 to 100 percent of market
value for terms of up to 30 years .
POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE
IN MARKET VALUE
The prime reason that most people
invest is the possibility of increased
market value . Yet, every day millions of
savers put money into savings and loan
and bank accounts that have no hope of
appreciation.
By comparison, sound, well-located
property looks great because it usually
appreciates in market value over the
long-term. The focus of real estate
investments has shifted from one of special tax advantages to economic return
- cash flow and long-term appreciation
in value .
We are not experiencing rapid appreciation as are other parts of the country
such as Boston, New York, and certain
areas of California. But the stable market
values we now have make it easy for the
long-term investor to acquire real estate,
and even small future increases in
market value are magnified many times
due to the usually modest cash investment required .
YIELD
Yield is a function of risk . Usually, the
higher the yield, the higher the risk or
lack of safety. Real estate is unique ,.
however, in that its yield is often high
while risk can be low.
Yield_is the total-annual return on the
1estor's dollars from all sources. The
lin sources of real estate yield are 1)
t cash flow (positive or negative) 2)
preciation (or loss) in the property's
1rket value, 3) income tax savings, and
principal paydown on the mortgage
bt. (In essence, the tenants buy the
Jperty for you.)
For example, suppose that you find a
00,000 rental property that can be
rchased for $10,000 cash down paymt with $90 ,000 mortgage financing. If
~ monthly rental income is greater
m the expenses by $100 per month ,
u will have $1,200 annual positive cash
w . Estimate market value appreciation
the property to be 3 percent annually
$3,000 in this example. Income tax
11ings from the depreciation deduction
disregarded in this example, but can
substantial depending on the inves·'s tax situation. The $90,000 mortgage
I be reduced (paid down) about $615
the first year to $89,385. Therefore,
ur annual yield is $1 ,200 cash flow,
Js $3,000 market value appreciation
d $615 mortgage reduction for a total
$4,815 first year yield . As a percentage
urn on their $10,000 investment, that
t8.15 percent. Not many investments
11e a higher yield.
v1ost of this yield , however, is not
mediately spendable; it is like money
waiting in the owner's bank until the
property is eventually sold o r exchanged .
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ease and speed of converting an asset into cash . Common
stocks, bonds, savings accounts, money
market accounts, and other investments
are considered highly liquid . To liqu idate
these investments to get cash in a few
days, though, the seller must accept the
price the market is paying on the day
he/ she decides to sell. The seller has no
control over market price.
A common misconception is that real
estate is an "illiquid " investment. While it
is not as quickly converted to cash as the
investments mentioned above, most
sound, well- located property can usually be sold within 60 to 120 days. Also ,
the owner may be able to refinance with
a new mortgage to take out tax-free cash
from the property.

ARE YOU
Ready for Rio?
Jane Folsom
Aggie Travel Points International
R
io de Janeiro, Latin American 's playground. The
name evokes images of beaches, sunshine, coconut palms, and is the reflection of a happy-go-lucky
people in a smiling city.
Nestled between tall mountains and the sea, Rio stretches
along the shores of the South Atlantic . Within the city, the
pulse of life is as strong and compelling as the rhythm of the
samba. Casual yet sophisticated , elegant but relaxed, it's
unique.
Though Rio is tropical, it still has seasons, which are reversed from ours . You can escape the winter and enjoy a Rio
summer, or go in our summer- their winter- and still enjoy
the beach and seaside. Average temperatures range in the high
70s year-round .
Far more than a beach resort, Rio offers visitors an exhaustive, exuberant mix of cultures , with cosmopolitan city life and
scenic splendor, and is a paradise for camera buffs and sightseers . Rio's must-sees include:
Sugar Loaf Mountain - Rio's famous, towering rock
landmark has panoramic views of the city and beaches. A
cable car to the top for cocktails is a chic and spectacular
experience at sunset, while the dusk grows and the lights wink
on below.
Corcovado - Hunchback Mountain soars almost twice as
high as Sugar Loaf and serves a the pedestal for the majestic
statue of Christ the Redeemer, a truly awe-inspiring monument. The mountain drive is a succession of superb views, or
you can ascend by cable car.
Petropolis - Brazilian emperors once lived in this picturesque mountain retreat, with its cobblestone streets, lush
gardens, and handmade ceramics .
Soccer-It's the Brazilian national game, played on Sundays
to cheering crowds at giant Maracana Stadium, the world's
largest.
Schooner Cruises - After you 've seen the view from the
mountain tops , another way to enjoy Rio's dramatic setting is
by a sail on the bay , with time out to explore a tropical island,
swim or scuba drive in a sheltered cove, and lunch on roasted
shrimp.
Old Rio- For a charming afternoon, take one of the opensided trolley cars up to the District of Santa Teresa, a tranquil
oasis of hilly streets and lovely views where the wealthy families of Rio once built their country retreats.
The Beaches- are world famous . Sweeping around southeast of the city center, there are Flamengo, Botafogo, Leme,
Copacabana, lpanema, and Leblon; the latter two are quieter
and less crowded . Theft and robbery, however, are a big problem . Don't go alone and never take valuables or a camera with
you - you 'll just be inviting trouble . Gangs of children and
youth work these beaches everyday and you'll come across
other travelers who have even lost their towels. Yol.l won't get
much help from police; they'll just tell you there are a lot of
desperately poor people in Brazil. Flamengo and Copacabana
are unfortunately the worst.
The best way for tourists to get around Rio is by taxi or bus.
Fares are rather inexpensive, and taxis or buses are plentiful. If
you go out for dinner or to a samba club, order a taxi roundtrip; after a lengthy evening of entertainment, you won 't have
to worry about how you get back to your hotel. Rio also has an
excellent underground railway (Metro) system . Tickets are 10
cents a ride .
Sightseeing tours to the major attractions stop at most of the
international hotels. It is helpful to go on an escorted tour,
since language could be a problem (Portuguese is the official
language) . English and French are understood in better hotels
and restaurants, and Spanish is generally understood .
In Rio, people love good food, and their cuisine varies from
international to very Brazilian . Lobster and Churrasco (gauchostyle barbecued meats and chicken) are plentiful and amazingly inexpensive. You must try the savory feijoada, Brazil's
traditional Saturday feast-rice, black beans cooked with dried
beef, smoked bacon, pork sausage and other meat, manioc
meal , and orange slices- there's nothing else like it. Dinner is
late. A typical evening begins at 9:30 or 10 p.m. with dinner at
one of the best new restaurants in Rio - Claude Troisgros,
near Jardim Botanico or Laurant, in Botofago. Dinner at either
costs about $70 for two, including wine. Both restaurants prepare a nouvelle combination of French and Brazilian cuisine.
Capital of the samba and bossa nova and nightclubs that
never seem to close, Rio is well-known as a city that gets hotter
at night. It all begins to happen around midnight and goes on
until dawn. There is quite a variety of night time diversions
popular with Cariocans (Rio natives) and tourists. Samba
clubs, discos, and big Las Vegas-style shows offer an assortment of Brazilian music and dance after dark.
IF YOU GO:
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: U.S. citizens need a passport valid for at
least six months from intended date of arrival, and a tourist visa
(requires an extra passport picture and a roundtrip ticket) .
ELECTRICITY: Rio has 110 or 120 volt, AC, 60 cycles. Many hotels
have converters for your convenience.
CURRENCY: The Brazilian unit of currency is the cruzeiro, divided
into 100 centavos. Bill are 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 5,000
denominations. Tourists may bring in any amount of foreign currency,
which is easily converted. One U.S. dollar is worth approximately 168
cruzeiros. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club credit
cards are accepted almost everywhere.
TIME: Brazil's Eastern time is four hours ahead of U.S. mountain
standard time. During U.S. daylight savings time, the difference is
three hours.
AIRFARE: Roundtrip airfares from Denver range from $1192.00$2023.00, depending on season of travel and restrictions.
STYLE
Carnival is Brazil's biggest holiday and
though Rio's festival is the most faous, there are also large celebrations
cities and villages throughout the
)Untryside. For four zany days and
ghts, there are costumes and dancing
the streets, perfume and confetti in the
r, and plenty of excitement. It begins
1 the Saturday before Ash Wednesday.

and M.S. in agricultural economics. After
receiving an M.A . and a Ph.D . in economics
from Michigan State University, he spent two
years in the Army, including a 1970 tour in
Vietnam .
During his subsequent years in Washington ,
D.C., Austin's interest in education was triggered through his work in the Office Of Management and Budget. He was appointed as an
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education ; in
that position, he "became more closely affiliated with the universities".
In 1977 he took a position as a dean at
George Washington University. He met his
wife , Susan, at a reception for a professional
meeting of epidemiologists at the university. A
year later the Austins married; Phil moved to
Baruch College in New York as vice president
for academic affairs, and Susan worked as
director of corporate epidemiology for Union
Carbide Corporation.
Austin was recommended for the CSU presidency by a CSU faculty member; the two had
a mutual friend. "I got a letter saying I had
been nominated for this position and if I was
interested , to send in a resume ," he explains.
" My wife and I talked about it, I sent in a
resume, and after all the interviews and discussions they made me a job offer and I
accepted it. " The appointment was made in
Decem-ber 1983, and Austin began his position full-time in March 1984. "We love it here.
The town provides a very congenial setting ."
Susan is currently teaching part time at the
University of Colorado medical school and
has her own consulting business.
"With respect to the University, we've had
our problems and our challenges," Austin
says. The university's current problems center
around funding. Under Austin , CSU has
received significant increases from the General Assembly, more so than any other campus in the state in the last three years. "I think
this is a reaffirmation of the support the members of the General Assembly have not only for
CSU but for the land-grant concept," Austin
comments. "CSU is a place of incomparable
quality in terms of research output and atten-
tion to students' needs. I'm really quite pleased
with the way (the Legislature) has been treating us."
The university, Austin says, still "has a way
to go" in terms of faculty salaries, equipping
laboratories, and the library. "The library is an
excellent one, but we want to compete with the
best in the country. On that list, we're near the
bottom ."
Austin believes his biggest achievement has
been to stabilize CSU's relationship with the
Legislature. " Right now, by the Legislature's
statement, higher education constitutes the
single highest priority state budget item in the
state." One of his goals: "To work on keeping
that philosophy there, keeping it operative.
Right now we're high priority but there isn't a
heck of a lot of state money. When state
revenues turn around , when agriculture and
energy come back, then the money will be
there for these priorities. "
Another goal focuses on clarifying the university's image. Austin has attempted to draw
the divergent viewpoints of CSU 's nine colleges into one university position , supported
by various public relations campaigns. "The
image will be that of a comprehensive research
university- we are that by state statute -that
comes from a land grant tradition. We will continue to strive for excellence in agriculture,
forestry, engineering, and veterinary medicine,
the four traditional land-grant areas of emphasis at this particular institution.
Land-grant enabling legislation signed by
President Lincoln in 1862 called for a broadlybased education for all students in agriculture,
the mechanical arts and related fields . "To me
that means you also have strength and breadth
in the arts, social sciences, humanities, and
natural sciences," Austin explains. "To me it
justifies everything we're doing. There's not a
thing being done on this campus now that's
not consistent with the land-grant notion ."
One PR campaign has focused on potential
contributors in the private sector in Denver.
"Public institutions have traditionally not had
to go out and raise money. That game is all
over, it's not going to work anymore. Even the
most lushly funded state institutions cannot
get from the point of adequacy to the edge of
excellence unless you have access to private
philanthropy.
"In the development area four or five years
ago, we were raising about $4 million a year.
Last year we raised $8 million , this year we
raised $13.5 million. My goal for next year is
$16 million, and I'd like to see that plateau at
$16 or $18 million. In two years we'll embark
on a $100 million capital campaign."
Another PR marketing effort has been
directed at "individuals in the areas where
high-quality students are being produced. As
CCHE raises admissions standards we've
simply got to have access to those markets
where we've never really had to market before.
We're targeted those schools with high numbers of high achievers in the state of Colorado." CSU is also targeting about 10 markets
STYLE
out-of-state; last year a $150,000 campaign
generated an additional 200 out-of-state students. "This year it looks like we've got about
450 more out-of-state students. We've got a
good product to sell, but we've just never had
to sell it before," Austin says. Out-of-state students bring substantial extra immediate income
for CSU. Currently about 20 percent of the
student population , Austin plans to increase
out-of-state student enroi"lment to 30,000 by
1990.
The secret of his success? While Austin
down plays his personal role, "I've worked very
hard and I've enjoyed being here. Ultimately,
it's still a product you have to sell. Over the
decades, this institution has been enormously
effective in being responsive to the citizens of
Colorado. CSU has had an enormously impressive faculty for years, a repository of talent that
certainly isn't appreciated at the state level
and to a certain extent even in the community.
What I've tried to do with this PR effort is to
confirm the existence of this resource in
northern Colorado and to get this message out
across the state so that the people of the Legislature and elsewhere understand what they've
got here."
Austin is a board member of Fort Collins,
Inc., the Fort Collins Foundation , and First
Interstate Bank of South Fort Collins. He is a
member of the Governor's Economic Development Task Force, and has chaired the
Northern Colorado American Cancer Society
and been an honorary chairman of the Northern Colorado United Way.
In his free time, Austin enjoys reading , skiing, sailing around Warren Lake and "generally being around home". He particularly
enjoys his son Patrick, 20 months. " He's the
brightest, cutest kid in the world. "
Fort Collins is fortunate to have Phil Austin
- not only as an excellent university president, but also as a community citizen. Lydia 's
Style is proud to feature him as our Model
Executive of the Month.
