Fulbright Scholar is
llti'IIIIII~Russia-bound
by Andreatta Grisenti
Staff reporter
These days, more and more American resources are being sent to Russia
to help the struggling nation.
One of Regis' greatest resources is
heading there, too.
Joanne Karpinski, English professor, is going as Regis' first Fulbright
scholar.
The Fulbright scholarship, named
after its sponsor, J. William Fulbright,
is an award given for research, teaching or graduate study. It seeks to promote better understanding between
Faith and Justice series
swings into action
by Tillie Sanchez
Staff reporter
With this year's Faith and Justice lectures still fresh in our minds, the Institute Steering Committee is already getting ready for next yefu''s event. However, the coIIlll!ittee is approaching next
year's Institute in a different manner.
Instead of a fall lecture series, they are
going to model the Faifu and Justice
Institute after the highly successful
Woodrow Wilson Fellow program. The
C(· ·illlittee plans to invite two or three
gu !Sts to spend about a week each on
campus, speaking in classes, meeting
will student and faculty gro!i?S, and
pe:.naps giving a i,ublic lecture. Each
gu-;st speaker would spea.k on a theme
rel·,ted to faith and iu~t<:e.
I~ there a speaker yu1J've always wanted
to mvite to campus? Or a burning issue
yol. feel the Regis community needs to
address? The Faith and Justice Institue
steering committee needs your ideas.
The steering committee is now asking
for student groups, academic departments, offices, and programs to nominate persons they would like to have
as "faith and justice visitors" next
year. The committee has a budget for
the visitors. If your group's nomination should be selected, you would
help host the visitor.
Visitors should be people who've
grappled with issues of faith and justice in their lives and work, and who
could speak to the Regis community
about their concerns. The steering
committee is also talcing suggestions
for themes, even if you don't have a
specific person in mind who could address the topic.
The committee strongly encourages
everyone to nominate potential visitors and to suggest a theme for next
year's Institute. If you or your group
have an individual or theme in mind
for the Institute, contact Marian Nielson ·in Campus Ministry (x4153) by
12:00 noon on Monday, April 12.
Karpinski went on to do graduate work
in comparative literature.
Her interest in Russia has led to several trips. In 1978, Karpinski spent a
year in the country's backwoods as a
guide and translator for a U.S. cultural
exchange exhibit that dealt with agriculture. In 1989, she took a group of
high school students to Russia, and last
spring she spent her sabbatical teaching
in Moscow.
The faculty she taught with in Moscow
wants her to come back. The Fulbright
fellowship allows her the perfect reason
to return.
"I bad an invitation from the philol-
peopl e in the United States and other
countries. Well over l 55,()()() scholar-
ogy fac ul ty a t M oscow State Un i versity
to te a ch," she say s . " And I think that
ships have been awarded since the
program's beginning almost 50 years
ago. The U. S. Information Agency
administers them. The agency publishes requests from countries that want
scholars in different fields. Interested
people then apply to the country of
their choice.
The system of applying for F ulbrights
in Russia is different. TI1e awards
aren't offered in specific disciplines.
So, Karpinski had to compete with
people applying from such fields as
physics and petrochemical studies.
Karpinski's interest in Russia stems
from cultural roots. Her parents are
native-speaking Poles. Karpinski didn' t
learn Polish while growing up, but in
college she began looking at her family traditions. She took Russian--a
"kissing" cousin of Polish--in college
and planned to learn Polish later.
"Well, I never did branch out," she
explains. "I got side-tracked into the
literature. Now, I speak to my parents
in Russian, and they speak to me in
Polish, and we understand each other
pretty well."
was an important factor in making the
decision--that I already had a community of scholars with whom I could work
when I got there."
Karpinski will teach literary theory at
the university beginning in early September. She'll lecture, be involved in
discussion groups and do individual
research. She is also exploring the
possibility of teaching at the Russian
Humanities University, which is the
former KGB University.
Karpinski is still figuring out the details of her trip. She doesn'tknow if her
husband, Greg Abbott, a businessman,
and their daughters, Julia and Elena,
will come with her, or where she' ll be
housed. And she ponders what she will
contribute to Regis upon returning from
Russia next June.
"I guess there might be a question of
the connection between what I'm doing
in Russia and what I do at Regis, since
I don' t teach Russian and don't teach

More Regis News----- Inaugural Ball '93:
A New Beginning
by Deborah Hall
Guest reporter
On April 2, the Regis Community bid farewell to the
Executive board members of
1992-93 and swore in the new
leaders. Some key administrators, including Fr. Sheeran, Tom
Reynolds and Jim McCormick,
were on hand to share in the
festivities. Though the student
turnout was relatively low, the
guests managed to have a great
time dancing and socializing
with friends.
The new president, Dominic
Dezulti, seemed very hopeful
about next year and the organization's contribution to the Regis
Community. "I think that the
new executive board has great
potential to have an even better
year than in those in years past
and to serve the students even
more," said Dezutti.
The new executive board was
elected into their respective
positions on February 18th. To
make the transition smoother,
some of the former members of
the executive board helped train
the incoming members. This
newly inaugurated board has
high hopes in bringing even
more attention to the school
and the Regis community.
Dezutti stated, "The new board
will serve the students' needs
and goals very diligently."
Tim O'Leary, former Chief
Justice, served as the evening's
commentator and swore in the
new members of the executive
board.
The new Executive members include:
President: Dominic Dezutti
V.P. of GA: Marguerite Toledo
V.P. of PAC: Micki Freeman
Director of Finance: Bryan Steffan
Director of Operations: Kim Aragon
Director of College Relations: Daphne Reitz
Director of Community Relation: Kerry Wanser

From the Office of the President
by Dom Dezzutti
Student Executive Board President
1993 seems to be an appropriate year
for new beginnings. We have a new
president, a new baseball team and now,
a new Student Executive Board. The
1993-1994 Student Executive Board were
officially inaugurated on April 2. We
begin a journey in hopes of even better
times to come.
I would first like to thank the 19921993 Executive Board on behalf of the
new board for their support and help
throughout a lengthy training period.
The Executive Board that passes us the
torch to carry will have a legacy that
will live on in at Regis for quite a while.
Last year's board was responsible for
the first Martin Luther King Day celebration; a diligent accomplishment of
many student goals and cohesive student government. For their service to
Regis, we all owe them a great deal of
gratitude.
But as I told the new board at our
training retreat, we will not be just like
the 1992-1993 Executive Board. We
will not accomplish the same goals. The
1993-1994 Student Executive Board will
carry on the tradition of cohesive student government, but we will aspire to
reach a new level. We were challenged
by the outgoing student body president
to reach a new level of service to our
constituency. We plan not only to reach
this new level, but, with your help, to
surpass it.
I believe that a Student Government is
only as strong as the student body that it
represents. If that is true, we need this
campus to reach with us to a higher
level of community. This is not a
political pipedream that we have conjured up. We see this higher level as
an expectation of ourselves and student government. We have come up
with our expectations and our goals
for ourselves, student government and
Regis as a whole.
However, we are not in these positions to meet personal agendas. We
have been elect~d to these positions of
service by you, our constituency. And,
we plan to serve this campus as best
we can.
Let me just talce this time to invite all
of those people who were once politically active and those who still want to
be, to please talk to us about what you
would like to see here at Regis. The
All Campus Leadership Retreat should
not be the only place where student
goals are heard. We will make it a
point of our administration to provide
many opportunities for everyone ·to
speak lip, at any time.
In closing, I want to thank Todd,
Mary Beth, Tim, Marie, Charle, Lindsay and Bryan for their great efforts
this year. Their footsteps will be hard
to follow. However, I also want to
thank Marguerite, Kim, Dan, Kerry,
Daphne, Micki and Bryan for accepting the challenge given to us. And
finally, thank you Regis for your support this year and for your trust in a
new beginning.

Every May a class of seniors that have
toiled, sweated, played and had a good
ol' time at Regis graduate.
Toe quad is filled with people who are
ending one chapter in their lives and
beginning another.
They look around them and see the
dorms they lived in, the buildings they
learned in, the edifice they ate in and the
grass they goofed around on. Memories
flood into their minds and they accept
their diplomas with smiles on their faces
as they remember the great times they
bad at Regis.
But that may be changing. The administration feels that it would be a good
idea to move the graduation ceremony
off campus. The reasoning behind it is
logical, but basically unwanted.
If it rains on graduation day the ceremony is moved into the Field House.
Each graduate receives five tickets to
give to their families and friends who are
attending.
Apparently there have been times when
the weather is bad and the ceremony is
moved inside and some people are not
admitted due to the limited seating. People
who came a distance tend to get a little
upset.
So the powers that control graduation
decided that it might be a good idea to
move graduation to a place where the
ceremony would be protected from the
elements and more people could attend.
Some of the possibilities are located on
the CU campus, the Auraria campus, and
the Merchandise Mart. Great. We can
graduate at someone else's school or in a
warehouse with the great view of I-25.
Yea.
graduation.
If we wanted to graduate in Boulder
we would have gone to CU. One of the
advantages of attending a small school
is the denseness of the campus and the
opportunity to see it all come to an end
at the same place that it all started.
Another drawback to moving commencement off campus is the fact that
all graduations would take place on the
same day.
As it is now, RECEP and all graduate
programs have commencement on Saturday and traditional, nursing and HIM
students graduate on Sunday. The
atmosphere is relaxed and people can
bang out as long as they want afterwards.
If it is moved, though, all programs
would graduate on the same day but at
different times. There would be a strict
schedule and people would be herded
inandoutjustlikecattle. Commencement is the last time we will see many
of the friends we have made at Regis.
The time after the ceremony is full of
good-byes and promises to keep in touch.
If we are rushed out of the building then
it is likely we will miss this chance.
The location of the ceremony is probably much more important to traditional
students than it is to the other programs,
like RECEP. We traditional students
have literally spent a considerable
amount of time on these grounds. Other
students have not; they have attended
other schools and had classes elsewhere.
They don't have the same physical ties
that we do.
The most important thing to remem-
the students. We can place our votes
with members of a committee that were
chosen to represent us and our views.
For 80% of the graduations over the
years the weather bas been nice. Only
20% of the time did graduation have to
be moved indoors. Those odds are pretty
good.
We did a very informal survey of a few
students on campus. Ofat least 50 people
polled, not even one person thought it
was a good idea.
Granted, there is the possibility that all
of your 37 relatives will not be able to see
you shake hands with the President of
Regis. But they can still attend the reception and parties that usually accompany
it. Tell someone on the committee how
you feel and spread the word about our
impending doom.
We have spent anywhere from one to
five or six years on this campus and it is
a great feeling to be able to look around
you as you sit under a huge tree in the
quad and listen to a speech and see
where you have been for so long and
recall so many memories. Let's keep it
that way.
Listed on page six are the names of
the people on the committees to decide
where commencement should take place.
Let one of them know what you think.
You can save graduation, but only if
you speak up.

Regis student media attends
conference: Hatnlin speaks on
racial injustice's in journalism
by Gabe Shrader
Guest reporter
Wby do you choose to be a
lightning rod? This is the question many people ask Ken
Hamblin, KNUS Radio host and
Denver Post columnist.
OnSaturday,Marcb27, 1993,
the student media at Regis bad
a chance to bear the answer to
that very question at the 69th
Rocky Mountain Collegiate
Media Association. Hamblin
held bis session at 9:45 a.m.
playfully talking of bis media
career and where it bad led
him.
Hamblin bas a very big media background, having photographed the 1968 Democratic
Convention in Chicago, the Civil
Rights March on Washington
and the Detroit Racial Riots.
He bad a chance to go to the
L.A. Riots but declined because
be bad seen it all before in
Detroit and be said that it is all
the same. "You can never forget that type of incident. It
sticks with you forever," Hamblin sadly explains.
Much of Hamblin's session
was used to talk about the racial injustice in journalism.
Hamblin skillfully used the
people in the audience to keep
the session interesting. Luckily, there was an African-American student and a Hispanic student that were there to share all
sides of the issue.
Much talk was of why there
are not more minority people in
the media business.
Many people in the audience
were shocked at the comments
Hamblin was making, especially
because be is African-American himself. In order to get
minority people in the media
business, Hamblin claims that
it bas to start with education
and the influence from other
minorities in the media business.
Hamblin explained what be
would do to change the type of
education that minorities get.
He said be would first fire all of
the teachers in the ghetto. He
claims that they do not give the
correct type of history that the
students need.
All the students learn in the
ghetto is of black culture, no
American culture.
"People coming in to apply
for a job at a radio station or a
newspaper can' t come in talking jive. No one will under-
stand what they are trying to
say," says Hamblin. He used
this point to explain the issue
of why the education needs to
change for the minority communities.
In bis answers Hamblin sometimes said things people did
not want to bear but be never
changed bis stance. He stated
the way it is and be knew that
people were going to have to
live with it.
Why does Ken Hamblin
choose to be a lightning rod?
Well, the answer is simply in
order to educate the people on
issues like the ones be spoke
about in bis session.
He admits that be doesn't
know everything, but be knows
enough about mass media and
people to make an impact about
educating the young minorities. To prove bis credibility,
Hamblin bas won numerous
Colorado Broadcaster and
Society of Professional Journalists' awards.
Ken Hamblin's·session at the
Rocky Mountain Collegiate
Media Association Convention
was a joy to attend. He was
insightful and energetic, keeping the attention of the audi-

CAREER CORNER
by Carla Johnson
Career Services
As mild spring breezes herald the end of the school year
and GRADUATION, seniors'
may be asking, "now what do
I do?!" The answer depends
on you. If your main goal is
to be hired in the career field
for which you were educated,
be aware that the rules of the
hiring game changed during
the 1980s; you need to reframe your ideas about how
togetajob. Companiesoften
do not advertise their openings. In addition, many corporations are merging, while
others are selling their subsidiaries. This creates a very
fluid job market.
For those Regis grads who
want to shorten the time be-
tween looking for a job and
being hired, Career Services
is offering its first ever Recent Grads Job Club. In four
two-hour sessions, we will
learn how to identify the career niche that is uniquely
yours -- then discover which
companies hire those occupations. We will discuss how
to create a network of individuals who can help you find
that opening, and learn bow
to be the one who gets the job
offer. In addition, the group
members will share leads and
information uncovered from
their research, and be a support for each other during this
exciting and often unsettling
quest. Call Career Services
to register at 458-3508.

each commencement and the corresponding increase in
the number of guests.
A Commencement Committee has been convened to

those of alternative locations. The outcome of the
committee should be a recommendation to Dr. Allan

MECA fruitful in recent
competition at conference
The Middle East Cultural
Association (MECA) at Regis
University attended the first of
two Model League of Arab
States competitions planned for
this year on March 4th. The
three-day event was sponsored
by the National Council on U.S.
Arab Relations and was held at
the University of San Francisco.
MECA's purpose, as well as
that of the Model League, is to
increase awareness among students about Middle Eastern
affairs, interests, and concerns.
Participation in the Model
League of Arab States is valuable in its allowing students to
discover the way in which individual Arab states interact with
each other as well as with the
rest of the world. .
Students from Regis represented Yemen and sent 11 delegates to sit on political, economic, social, cultural, and
Palestinian committees.
Topics of discussion in these
sessions ranged from arms
control to legal rights to the
environment. The goal of each
delegate is to introduce resolutions to the League and to participate in debate about various
issues.
Remembering that one is
representing the interests of a
nation and not merely one' s
own whims and desires is the
foundation of diplomatic relations and, consequendy, remain-
ing "in character" is of paramount importance.
Also important to success in
the Model League is being wellinformed about Middle Eastern issues and about numerous
facts relating to the nation one
represents.
Though Middle Eastern affairs are often extremely complicated and ever changing,
Regis students did not travel to
San Francisco unprepared. All
are enrolled in a class specifically designed to study the
nations which they will be representing during the competitions.
The course is taught by Dr.
Gladys Frantz-Murphy who is
also the faculty advisor for
MECA and who traveled to San
Francisco with the students to
help coordinate the event.
The efforts of Dr. FrantzMurphy and those of the students who participated in the
competition were fruitful.
Regis University was recognized by receiving an honorable mention award for best
delegation and Timothy
Kazmerski and Peter Perkins
each received Outstanding
Delegate awards.
Erin Draper was also honored for serving as Parliamentarian in her committee and the
Regis delegation, as a whole,
left a very favorable impression with the organizers of the
event.
From left to right members of MECA are; Marc Francis, Erin Draper, Allison DeBold, Tim
O'Leary, Dr. Gladys Frantz-Murphy, Peter Perkins, Timotl1y Kazmerski, Marianne Dreher,
Coeli Fitzpatrick, Carl Hilker, and Anne-Marie Marti.

the event were pleased not only
with their performance, but were
also satisfied with the experience for its educational and
social aspects. Senior Carl
Hilker, who also participated
in last year's Model Arab league,
said of the event, "You learn a
lot, you meet people, and the
whole experience is pretty
sweet. Really."
This sentiment was shared
by Coeli Fitzpatrick, President
ofMECA, "TbeModelLeague

of Arab States was held on the

was organized by Dr. FrantzMurphy and MECA students

before the event. Regis stu_dents also acted as judges and

Wake-up Week a success
by Deborah Hall
Guest reporter
Regis University Wake-up
week, sponsored by Program
Activities Council (PAC), was
both informative as well as
insightful. "Wake up and Smell
the Issues" was the underlying
theme for the week and there
were a host of different functions related to the notion of
sexual awareness.
On Tuesday, March 25 at
8:00pm, a panel discussion on
discrimination against homosexuality was conducted in the
cafeteria. The panel, which
was comprised of both faculty
and students, addressed many
of the key issues associated with
one' s sexual orientation ranging from: -individual life choices
and discrimination, to the Catholic Church's position.
The most pow erful testimo·
nies were those which were
given by the students. Their
candid nature, . being open to
share their personal experiences
with a room full of peers and
other members of the Regis
community, took a great deal
of courage.
Dr. Alice Reich, bead of the
sociology department, served
as moderator for the evening.
Toe audience seemed very receptive toward the panel ~d
felt ttninhibited in addressmg
any questions to the various
speakers.
Another event that turned out
to be a success was Bob Hall's
lecture on "Sex, Dating and
Communication." Hall, who
runs a company outside of
Buffalo that focuses on resolving conflicts, travels throughout the country to speak to
universities abou trelationships
and effective problem-solving
techniques that help to deal with
conflict. He offered a sense of
comic relief to the audience
when addressing sensitive issues like sex and intimacy. As
an initial "ice breaker," be offered some catchy slogans that
are associated with dating ( i.e.,
"Just cause we' re dating doesn't
mean we're mating").
Hall provided the audience
with information regarding the
media's influence on individual perceptions of sexuality,
which can ultimately lead to
confining gender roles. "In
society, we' re open to sex j ust
enough to exploit it," says Hall.
"We form stereotypes in order
to cope with our surroundings."
Throughout the week, AIDS
ribbons were being offered to
the Regis community in order
to show support for people who
are inflicted with the disease,
as well as showing awareness
for the need of continued research in order to discover a
cure: On Thursday, March 25,
a presentation was given by the
Colorado AIDS Project. The
brown-bag forum in the faculty
lounge proved to be very informative.
Essentially, Regis
Wake-up Week '93 turned out
to be a great success!

Adult students
extend their minds
by Genny Gibbs
Guest reporter
The School For Professional
Studies is continuing to grow
and change this spring with a
new program called Mind Extension University.
MF/U is a basic cable network which offers educational
programming for all ages. Adult
students at Regis who take
courses through ME/U to gain
a certificate in business first
register through MFJlJ, although
the format, which is accelerated, admissions requirements,
faculty, and students all come
from the School For Professional Studies.
After the students register,
they receive the course module
which includes assignments,
tests, overheads, reading assignments and a voice mailbox code.
With this code, students can
call in and talk to their teacher
orother students with questions
or comments that they have concerning the class.
The first class being offered
through ME/U at Regis began
March 15 and will continue for
eight weeks. The class is called
Developing and Managing A
Small Business.
It will be aired two nights a
week for five weeks on channel
22 from 8:30 until 9:30 p.m.
pendently on a project and
complete a final exam.
Margie Hartman and Eileen
O ' Brien, both of the RECEP
program, are currently involved
with developing the program
and are excited about the possibilities that ME/U offers students.
"This is an opportunity to
extend the mission of the University," said O'brien. "In many
cases we're providing an educational opportunity for people
who wouldn't otherwise have
it."
She referred to people who
live in small towns or can' t
leave their homes because of
illness or handicaps, working
adults with families as well as
many others whose resources
are limited. In addition, many
students in the first class live as
far away as California, Florida,
and New Hampshire.
"This format isn't for everyone," they admit, but as Hartman states, "it is an option for
people who have a means of
learning through a different
medium other than simply residential colleges and universities."
Other schools currently using MF/U include Kansas University, University of Oklahoola,
Washington University, and

Total Quality Management
to be implemented in spring
by Stephanie Roller
Senior Reporter
Total Quality Management
is coming to Regis.
At the request of Fr. Michael
J. Sheeran, S.J., this spring Regis
University has implemented
Total Quality Management
(TQM) training for the Central
Operations staff, a core group
of employees from all areas of
the campus.
David Wilson, academic director of New Ventures, will
facilitate the series of four half
day workshops that comprise
pha<,e 1 of 'IQM training. Donna
Armelino, Karen Webber and
Jeff Sheppard will assist Wilson
in facilitating the TQM training.
Session 1, held on March 31,
1993, was an orientation to
quality which focused on defining "total quality" and "Regis
quality." The implications of
quality and identifying quality
efforts at Regis were discussed.
Session 2 of TQM training
will focus on determining the
benefits of quality to Regis.
Wilson will facilitate identifying the customers/beneficiaries of the TQM trainees and
identifying problems they encounter. A flow chart will be
0' CONNELL HALL
developed charting certain office procedures currently done
and the TQM session will develop ideas for improving those
office procedures.
Session 3 will review the
flowcharts and develop an
administrative system to improve quality.
Session 4 will highlight the
qualities of teamwork and delegation, empowering employees,
encouraging risk, innovation and
creativity.
Phase 2 ofTQM training will
begin in September 1993 and
will focus on cascading the
training to two or three prototype areas. Phase 3 will follow
with training in all non-faculty,
administrative areas.
"We are known for focusing
on our students and their needs.
It is important to me to develop
a support system for our people
and students. Total Quality
Management training will
empower our employees to make
decisions on the spot and to feel
that the decisions made will be
supported by their supervisor.
By establishing TQM at Regis,
we insure that students get the
best possible attention and service," said Fr. Sheeran.
Making a Better Hall For You
There are going to be many big changes done in
O'Connell this summer for the 1993/94 academic
school year. Just a few of the things that are
going to be done are renovation of the existing
bathro?ms and showers, new lighting in hallways,
attractive lounges, and new quad rooms. Each
room will also have its own phone line, you just
have to remember to bring a phone. If you are
going to be a junior or senior, you are not
required to have a meal plan. The prices for next
year are as follows: $1350 for a quad, $1350 for
a double, and $1900 for a single.

"There are many ways which
Peace Corps fits into major
initiatives of the administration,"
explained Acting Peace Corps
.
Director Jack Hogan.
"Peace Corps' overall mission is very compatible with
President Clinton's focus oil
national service. Internationally, we are in line with Secretary of State Warren Christopher's agenda to support sustainable development, protect

Choices with Dan Clayton
by Jody M. Wissel
Guest reporter
''Responsible drinking!" emphatically stated Dr. Dan Clayton when asked what bis message to the Regis Community
was concerning alcohol use.
Clayton is the associate dean
for Graduate and Special Programs in Regis College and an
associate professor for political science and history. He advocates that we must be responsible when we "choose to
drink and need to drive."
Last October, Clayton was
arrested for drinking and driving. He was charged with a
DUI (Driving Under the Influence), which in the state of Colorado is a blood alcohol concentration (BAO of .10% or higher.
Due to his clean driving record and this being his first offense, the charges were reduced
to a DW AI (Driving While
Ability Impaired).
The BAC for this offense is
.05%. Clayton continued, "It
was an error in judgement!"
He had been at a dinner party
and had a few glasses of wine,
and on the way home he was
pulled over by a police officer.
He was asked to perform a
roadside sobriety test.
"You don' t feel drunk!" He
thought his driving ability was
fine. "To be handcuffed, arrested, read your rights, and put
in a jail cell is the most humiliating and embarrassing experience you could ever imagine."
He was reall y shocked and
was amazed at bow relatively
little it takes to exceed a BAC
of .10%. He exclaimed, "It can
happen to anyone!"
The legal consequences of
this offense are also very severe. Even though the charges
were reduced in his case, the
penalties were still quite harsh.
His license was suspended
for three months resulting in
his dependency on others for
transportation. He had to pay a
fine, court costs and attorney
fees. He also bas to attend an
alcohol education course and
participate in 24 hours of community service.
His car insurance may be
cancelled and be will have to
get high- risk insurance that is
much more expensive. He
continued by saying that be
thought the penalties would have
been much worseifbebad been
a college student in bis twenties.
Even though there was no
bodily injury in Clayton's incident, there are many serious
traffic accidents involving alcohol that result in the loss of
life. Over the past ten years, on
an average, nearly half of all
motor vehicle fatalities involved
a driver under the influence of
alcohol. In 1990, 16 to 24 year
olds comprised around 19% of
the licensed drivers in Colorado but they were involved in
nearly 34% of the alcohol-related fatal crashes.
In support of bis stance on
responsible drinking, Clayton
has become actively involved
with CHOICES, the Regis substance abuse prevention program, on campus. Clayton has
co-presented educational programs in the residence halls, as
well as bartending the N/A Bar
at Ranger Day.
Clayton stated that although

Is your relationship abusive?
by Sally Spencer
Personal Counseling
Many times people find themselves i11 romantic relationships
where they care about their partner very much, but at the same
time feel that something is wrong because they are very unhappy.
Sometimes people stay in these relationships because they think
they are at fault or because they do not think they will be able to
find anything better.
It may be the case that the relationship bas abusive aspects
which may be endangering the self-esteem and safety of the nondominant partner. The following guidelines may help you to determine if your relationship is abusive:
Physical abuse: pushed you, held you to keep you from_ leaving, slapped you, kicked you. ·thrown objects at you, subJected
you to reckless driving
.
Sexual abuse: made demeaning remarks about your sexuality,
insisted on unwanted touching, forced sex or unwanted sexual
acts
Emotional abuse: insulted or overly criticized you, yo~ ~amity, beliefs, race, heritage or class; called you n~e~ or h~m.1hated
you, controlled your decisions or who you soc1al1ze. w1~, regularly threatened to leave you; manipulated you with hes and
broken promises to treat you better.
While some of these behaviors may seem minimal, they are all
potentially dangerous. When one le.vet of abuse is accep~d, there.
may be a tendency for the abusive person to escalate therr behavior to more intense levels of abuse.

Entertainment--------------A taste of the music industry's newest releases
by Barb Shockley
Entertainment Editor
Slaughterhouse 5 - Wide Open (IRS 1993)
For a band so irritating and annoying, this is a band that would be a huge hit here
on campus. The reason why it sucks so bad is because the mixing on the album
collides (gels ...melds) everything together so that nothing is distinguishable. This
album is very childish/teenager-ish. It has its upbeat British pop influence (they
are from Mansfield, England) and its catchy guitar work, but it's a rather dorky
album! Grade: C-.

Mad Cobra - Hard To Wet, Easy To Dry (Columbia 1992)
If you like reggae, you can't pass up this album. Even though the lyrics are hard
to comprehend, the ones you.do pick up make a powerful statement! This album
has the power to groove anyone with an ounce of soul. Not much of a southern
island reggae sound, but it's still reggae! If you like to ''jam, man" ...go pick up
this one! Grade: C.
The The - Dusk (Epic 1993)
The fourth album from The The takes ten songs full of James Brown bass mixed
in with moody keyboards and synthesizers with conservative guitars. The first
single "Dogs Of Lust" has an upbeat Morrissey sound. Describable as The Cure
meets Duran Duran with lyrics of being lonely and in love. Good album for
alternative music lovers. Don't forget to check out their new home video
accompanying this release. Grade: B.
!
Nine Inch Nails - Broken (Atlantic 1992)
I
Trent Reznor brings back his hard core "I Hate You!!!" tunes mixed in with ripyour-head-off music. Heavy, stubborn, progressive, violent, harsh, revolting
lyrics cause you to be thrown up against the wall taking the blows from Reznor' s
guitar work. This EP brings anyone's aggression out! No album (Even as
hard as Slayer and Metallica can compare to this power!) Reznor is a musical
genius! Grade: A++.
The Darling Buds - Erotica (Chaos/Columbia 1992)
The soothing, peaceful voice from vocalist Andrea is what makes this whole
album work! While listening to this one, you lose touch with where you are and
you start to daydream. This is an album that will outdo any previous female

Stone Temple Pilots - Core (Atlantic 1992)
B
A band that sounds so much like Seattle, looks like Seattle, acts like Seattle, but
isn't Seattle. A California band that sounds so dark is hard to find. Using scratchy,
squeeky vocals as the denominator to hold the band together, the hard core metal
riffs and bass are a bit repetitive, and the drums keep the tempo. It works to their
advantage, somehow. Their single "Sex Type Thing" can make you ·c ringe with
anger and hate, but at the same time you can see all of the repeti veness through out
the song. This band sucks so bad they are actually great! Soundgarden clashes
with Alice In Chains, throw in a little Gruntruck and My Sister's Machine, and
you've got Stone Temple Pilots. A band that is soooo horrible is worth your hardearned money. They suck so bad, they are killer! Grade: A.

Grateful Dead attract mystical following
by Walter Tharp
Guest entertainment reporter
For countless people around the world,
the Grateful Dead is more than just a
rock group; it is a way of life. How did
the group attract such fanfair?
In 1964, on the peninsula south of San
Francisco, near Palo Alto, Woodside,
and Redwood City, California, a group
of five uniquely talented artists from a
variety of musical backgrounds came
together to form a new kind of band
called Warlocks.
The group of musicians at this time
included a bluegrass banjo/guitar picker
Jerry Garcia, folk/jazz guitarist Bob Weir,
blues organist/harpist Ron (Pigpen)
McKernan, rhythm and blues drummer
Bill Kreutzman and jazz trumpeter turned
bassist Phil Lesh.
Their first gigs included many Bay
Area coffee houses where they became
a part of the rapidly growing San Francisco music scene.
Late in 1965, the band decided to
change their name. Jerry Garcia opened
a huge dictionary: ·There; on the the
page to which he had opened, in huge
black letters was the term the Grateful
Dead. It read:
The Grateful Dead: The mouf of a
cycle of folk tales which begin with the
hero coming upon a group of people illtreating or refusing to bury the corpse of
a man who had died without paying his
debts.
He gives his last penny, either to pay
the man's debts or to give him a decent
burial. Within a few hours be meets
with a traveling companion who aj.ds ·
him in some impossible task, gets him a
fortune or saves his life.
The story ends with the companion
disclosing himself as the man whose
corpse the hero had befriended.
In the beginning, their goal was to
make music people could dance to;
however, their music was on the cut-
number of people that follow these hippie
ting edge of a larger social awakening,
celebrations of peace, love and under-
the Summer of Love concept and the
hippie movement.
They wanted to explore the new sense
of openness in music in addition to appropriating Caribbean, African, Middle
Eastern and far Eastern sounds. They
also picked up on the ideas of Ornette
Coleman and John Coltrain, as well as
Miles Davis.
The group performed at and became
closely associated with what was called
the acid tests, a series of public LSD
parties and multiple experiments staged
by author Ken Kesey (One Flew Over
· the Cuckoos Nest) before the drug was
outlawed.
From these conscious attempts to
experience the unexperienced, the acid
tests gave shape and direction to the
Grateful Dead, which by this time had
grown to include percussionist Mickey
Hart and keyboardistBrentMydland to
replace Ron McKeman, who died from
terminal liver problems and pneumonia. Brent Mydland also died in 1990
from a heroin o verdose.
With growing popularity, the Grateful Dead began touring and by the end
of the sixties, they seemed to be on the
road non-stop.
Their consistency in touring enabled
them to travel all over the country and
continent. In fact, by the middle of
1972, the Dead took their cosmic, culturally awakening music to Canada,
Alaska, Germany, Denmark,· France,
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
All through the years, the Grateful
Dead made many historic appearances
such as the Monterey Pop and WoodstockFestivals. The Monterey International Pop Festival in Monterey, California was the first of many festivals to
come.
Ever since, there has been a growing
standing.
The Dead's audience reaches across
all generations, with Deadheads ranging in ages, race and beliefs. Part of
what draws the Deadheads is the dialogic sense of community that has been
the dominant theme throughout the
Dead's history.
Deadheads make up a family and,
more than anything, being part of this
enormous family is said to provide untold
comfort and continuity. They share an
essence of the spirit of the Dead that
was born in the Bay Area in the sixties,
a sense of camaraderie and hope.
The whole Grateful Dead concert
experience, from the gathering of the
diversified crowd to the sophisticated
sound system, from the Dead' s musical
inventions to the anti-show biz presentation when the band stands around
tuning up between songs, is an exceptional institution in rock.
The guys in the band are getting older,
but they continue rockin' the world as
the cult-like following continues to
spread to unimaginable number.

Pre-registration blues the all time dread of spring
by Sarah Barnes
Guest reporter
That dreaded yet exciting time
of the academic year is here
once again. It is spring, school
is out in less than a month and
students are contemplating
plans for the next year. Yes, it
is time for pre-registration.
The first day the schedules
of courses for the next semester are released, students quickly
grab them up and spend the
majority of their class time
looking at them.
Teachers repeatedly demand
the nuisances are put away, but
stubborn students insist on previewing the possibilities for the
next semester.
The anticipation of getting
the schedule book is followed
by the anxiously awaited meeting with the advisor. The twenty
minutes students spend with
the fate-deciding-figure encourage enthusiasm for the following semester.
Then the dread comes. For
some, the experience of registering in the O'Sullivan building goes smoothly, but for others it does not.
Some students are all too
familiar with the frustrations
of the lines, unpaid balances,
closed courses and refusal to
register due to the number of
completed credit hours.
But once the deed is done,
relief overcomes frustration
and the anticipation of the new
courses, despite the thought
of books and studies, kicks in.
The aggravations of pre-registration are over until next
semester.
In order to make
it through calm,
cool and collected, it is important to understand the purpose .of pre-reg1strat1on.
In order to make it through
calm, cool and collected, it is
important to understand the
purpose of pre-registration. In
effort to make the pre-registration experience go more
smoothly, Bernie Treat, a data
entry clerk from the Office of
the Registrar, shared some insight to make signing up for
the
next
semester's
classes a quick. painless event.
In order to make it through
calm, cool and collected, it is
important to understand the
purpose of pre-registration.
Treat said that with pre-registration, coming back in the
fall or the spring it is easy for
students to get right into their
c1asses and not have to worry
about coming oock several days
early.
Imagine having to stress about
finding 16 to 18 hours of classes
after weeks and weeks of relaxation. Pre-registration also
gives Regis' administration an idea of whether or not
they need to open more sections of a class or hi.re more
instructors.
"It is a big
benefit to know what to look
forward to," said Treat.
With Regis' hundreds of
students and the many different
courses and course numbers,
mistakes are bound to occur,
but some mistakes can be prevented.
The number one problem for
the Registrar's Office is the
assigned time at which students
a.re to register. Students think
that they a.re to register according to what class for which they
are registering. However, that
is not the case.
Another problem that could
be solved by the students' careful reading deals with the entry
of the proper course numbers
and letters. What many students do not realize is that the
letters after such courses as CH
215A indicate a completely
different course than CH215B.
If students took the time to
accurately fill in the courses on
the form, many would-be mistakes may be caught, thus
making pre-registration more
simple.
Despite the careless mistakes
many students make, the Registrar's Office is more than
happy to help correct them. Even
if it is the student's fault, the
office will correct the mistake
with the proper paperwork.
"The paperwork covers
us," said Treat. "We
can't just be randomly switch
If students took the time to accurate! y fill in the courses on the form,
many would-be mistakes may be
caugllt, thus making pre-registration
more simple.

students misreading, or not
reading at all, this information,

to pay special attention and
explain the procedures.
ing people from class to class
without a signature saying it is
okay."
The clerks in the Registrar's
Office do not have the schedule
book memorized, so it is important for the students to know
and write down exactly what
they want. This preciseness
will help pre-registration go
more smoothly.
Some students are
all too familiar
with the frustrations
Besides being precise, Treat
urged that students take heed to
some other advice. The registration forms can be acquired
only from the student's advisor.
Pam Beisner from Student
Academic Services counts the
number of advisees and sends
packets to every advisor with
enough forms. All too often
students wander into the Registrar's Office and ask for a registration form. The constant
explaining takes time away from
the clerks' jobs.
Treat also explained that if
students knew the proper times
at which they were assigned to
pre-register, the experience
would go more steadily. As bit
of inside information, Treat said
that the best time to register is
during the hour of a class; the
ten minutes between classes are
usually the busiest.
With this information, perhaps the frustrations of mistakes will vanish and the experience of pre-registration will
go more smoothly for the ex cited students.

The day that
follows the dusk
by Brannon McPherson
Guest Reporter
It is April and the sun is setting yet again on many students' college years at Regis
University.
Depending upon which student you speak with, the day
that follows the dusk of graduation is either one of fear or
excitement.
The general consensus around
campus these days for seniors·
is that we have conie to a crossroads in our lives. The fear and
excitement is due to the decisions and choices that lie ahead
at this junction.
We are starting to realize that
the days of selling the soul are
gone with the past.
If you are like senior Bob
McNamara you can take this
moment in your life all in perspective. He says, "Life is like
an elevator, sometimes you get
the easy ride up and sometimes
you get the shaft."
Bittersweet oblivion is knocking on the door and some students are a little more nervous
than McNamara. "The four
year paid vacation is over," says
senior Mark Garcia, "I'm afraid
I'll just beholding onin the real
world."
Garcia speaks for many people
at Regis University. The ability to keep ones head above
water financially is a general
concern. Our silver spoons are
dropping to the ground and we
do not like the taste of plastic.
Along with those people who
are living in fear are the optimists. McNamara says, "I feel
confident about the future and
look forward to all of life's
experiences." We need to be
strong, aggressive and willing
to make sacrifices.
Senior and future doctor
August Denning lcicks up his
feet and says, "Don't stress,
everything will fall into place."
There are many anecdotes to
subsiding the senior anxiety jitters. Each individual needs to
find their own.
Regis University students, nevertheless, are prepared to leave
this community. We simply
need to make sure the floor is
solid when the elevator comes
to our floor. The ride up will be
much easier that way.

Softballers bashed champs
at Joplin tourney over break
.. .looking for a little respect
by Corey S. Flanagan
Staff reporter
The Regis Women's Softball
team has come along way in
the last few years, but still has a
long road to becoming recognized here at Regis.
The team has had a few milestones since starting the original program in 1990. Highlighting the milestone list is the
fact that the team had the best
average GPA in the nation last
season. With a team average
GPA of 3.22, Regis ranked first
among all NCAA Division II
softball programs, as compiled
by the National Softball Coaches
Association.
Regis also bad six NSCA AllAmerica Scholar Athletes. They
were Amy Carlson, Melissa
Hurley, Monica Lemieux, Laura
Picon, Tanette Terry and Stacie
Varney.
This year's team bas bad its
ups and downs though, but what
occurred over spring break w.as
defiantly an up! The softballers
played several games over spring
break and, in the process, traveled a few miles played in places
such as Central Oklahoma and
Joplin, Missouri.
In Joplin, there were teams
from all over the country that
came to compete in the challenging tournament The NCAA
defending National Champs in
Division II softball, Missouri
Southern, were present and took
a loss at the hands of our very
own women's softball program.
Our lady Rangers, through hard
work and good competition, beat
the defending the National
Champs and have come into a
league of there own. The softballers are currently 18-12.
Theirnexthome game is April
21; the lady Rangers will take
on the Colorado School of Mines
.at 3 p.m . The support of, not
only the women's softball program, but of all women' ssports
should be encouraged.
