ice-cream, walks make stillness in the night by Bob Haas
A gem is at times hidden by the simplicity of its luster.

She was four-and-a-half, and could barely remember her parents together. Her time was split, her week divided
by divorce, divided between two parents who once frequented this park as lovers before she was born.

Senator faces impeachment, another resigns by Leslie Vestrlch
A student government senator faces impeachment and another has resigned over a $961 check senators say was obtained illegally under their own bylaws.
Senator Linda Madonna said she resigned because she was implicated in the charges she made against Senator Stephen Brame at an Oct. 8 Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC)'meeting.
The charges include voting for and obtaining club funds without a majority of Club Affairs Committee (CAC) members present, without Senate approval and without the required signatures on the request form.
The check represents 90 percent of a
Fisch had the responsibility to hold that meeting - he doesn't have the right to cancel at will."
Brame also said he consulted AS MSC Senator Michael Majeres before he and Madonna met and Majeres said the meeting would be acceptable. Majeres is Senate parlimentarian, responsible for settling questions of procedure for Senators.
"I said there should be a CAC meeting if the club needed funds right . away," Majeres said. "But I made the comment as a student and one concerned about clubs, never as a Senate official." Brame differed.
"That's ridiculous," he said. "You can't be a parlimentarian one minute and a student the next."
"If ALAGA (Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance) suffers because of this, we will - and some members already do - see this as harassmint. We do have alternatives, the ACLU and Affinnative Action. If (Madonna)-pushes the issue, we'll-push it all the way until somebody croaks."
-ASMSC Senator Stephen Brame
Linda Madonna
said Brame was not elected by the committee as secretary-treasurer. No ALAGA member, other than Brame, could be reached for comment.
Senate President Mark Gerhart also signed the form, but said he mistook that request for another.
"He (Brame) gave me these sheets to
sign after we'd voted for a trip for four people to go to a Boston conference," he said. "I just looked at the numbers and signed, but I was puzzled they would need the money so quickly."
Madonna said the new CAC bylaws
"What I did was wrong. I knew it was wrong. I had not been appointed by the Senate into this ( CAC) position. I abused any power I had."
-Former ASMSC Senator Linda Madonna
Brame wrote and submitted to the Senate on Oct. 8 would relieve him of responsibility in the charges.
"If they go through, everything he did will be no big deal," she said. 'TU do everything I can to fight them."
Brame said he is prepared. "If ALAGA suffers because of this,
we will - and some members already do - see this as harassment," he said. "We do have our alternatives, the ACLU and affirmative action. If she pushes this issue, we'll push it all the way until somebody croaks." D
$1,068 request for a San Francisco conference for four Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance (ALAGA) members, including Stephen Brame and a nonstudent, Brame said.
Madonna and ·Brame voted for the funding on their own after a Sept. 9 CAC meeting was cancelled by Chairman Barry Fisch. CAC bylaws require a majority to hold a meeting, which would have been three. Madonna was not a member.
Majeres said he told Brame the Senate would be able to reject the request if the procedure was "out of line," but on Sept. 24 the Senate approved the request.
The form, however, was already at the MSC business office without Senate approval, Madonna said, and Brame picked up the check Sept. 25.
The minds of Student Government
"What I did was wrong, I knew it was wrong," Madonna said. "I had not been appointed by the Senate into this (CAC) position. I abused any power that I had."
After hearing Madonna's charges, Senate members voted to impeach Brame. He retains full privileges until the AS MSC Judicial Board makes a decision.
Brame said he resigned as ALAGA's secretary because "we saw this coming," but states he did nothing questionable in obtaining the funds.
"We were within our rights," Brame said. "There was club work to be done.
"It doesn't take just one day for a check to come through the business office," she said. "It takes about ten days."
Madonna also said that though the funding request was turned into the business office early and without Senate approval, Brame asked for and got an additional $312 for late fees for the trip.
She said Brame told the Senate ALAGA needed the money because the Senate was late in approving the original request and he wasn't able to send it in on time.
Furthermore, funding requests require CAC chairperson's and secretary-treasurers' signatures, but Madonna signed as chairperson and

A lesson in politics: Two student politicians collaborate
and do something wrong. One has a conscience, the other does not. The one with the conscience begins feeling guilty and decides to air the dirty laundry. She decides she is not adequately representing the students and quits. The other takes the money and runs to San Francisco to attend a seminai:- on pride.
The one with conscience openly admits her guilt.
"What I did was wrong," she said, while the other senator blatantly passes the buck and s.ays, "We were within
A NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF ELECTRONIC PRINTSHOPS
Analysi·s our rights," but neglects to state exactly what rights he operates under.
The conscientious one fights through the bureaucracy to get the truth out. She wants to make amends for the wrong-doing, though she no longer has political ambitions.
The other senator, who may or may not be impeached, becomes a victim of her rigliteousness and calls it "harassment."
Now come the questions. Answer honestly.
1. Would this issue have been exposed if both senators were conscience-free?
2. How many of the remaining politicians are guilty of something

The Metro State women's soc;!cer team could break into the top 20 national rankings after a soggy 2-1 win over Southern Methodist University on Sunday, according to coach Ed Montojo.
The Roadrunners, currently ranked 21 in the NCAA Divisions I and II poll, beat the Mustangs on a snowy, "slow" field in Colorado Springs.
Center striker Jamie Cobb scored both goals for Metro. She was assisted by Holly Hoskins on the first goal and by Tracy Wiebl on the second.
Montojo said the field was slow because of the snow, and that hurt the passing game his team relies on.
Despite the conditions, the women outshot SMU 23-0. The Mustangs scored their only goal on a penalty kick.
"Our defense played exceptionally well," Montojo said, "especially considering the weather conditions."
Montojo also said his team is getting into a groove.
"We' re starting to putthings together. The players feel more comfortable with each other and are playing with more confidence," he said.
Metro, now 5-2, will play Texas Christian University Thursday in Colorado Springs. o

The conservatism of Ken Kramer
by Keith Levlse
According to recent surveys, Congressmen Ken Kramer and Tim Wirth each have a fifty-fifty chance of winning Gary Hart's soon-to-be vacated seat in the U.S. Senate. -
With Hart's departure, and the race at almost even odds, the contest becomes ari ideological struggle between Coloradans who consider themselves conservative, and those who see themselves as liberal. Conservatives and Liberals ...
For those unsure of their own political philosophy, Ken Kramer, a definite conservative, offers what he calls "three points that are classic differences between what a conservative believes and what a liberal believes.
"I can only speak for myself," Kramer says, ''but to me, a conservative, first and foremost, is a person who wants to see a government live within its means, that is fiscally responsible, that is trying to balance the budget.
"I would put as a second leg of that foundation the belief that peace is best kept by strength ... we can best keep the peace and keep our freedom by being strong.
"A third element would be that the least possible involvement of government in the marketplace, or in people's lives, is desirable, leaving to them, rather than bureaucrats, decisions important to their lives, and that where government is needed, in most cases, that government which is closest to the people and is locally elected, is preferable to that which is further away."
Kramer compares these views of a conservative with a liberal philosophy.
This philosophy, Kramer says, holds that "balanced budgets are really not that important, that they don't have that much of an effect on the economy, that it is more important to have government intervention, and that with heavy regulation we will get a better economy.
"On the second point about a strong national defense, I think a liberal believes that peace is best achieved through understanding and agreement,
and a showing of good faith. "Thirdly, I think the liberal believes
that government is necessary to right wrongs in society, to even out all the disparities in society, and that this is best done through government programs that are funded at taxpayer expense."
The Law of the Land ... Kramer blames congress for deficit
spending, which he believes is putting the U.S. in "grave" economic danger. "It is the institution of congress itself," he says, "that is largely out of control.
"What congress does now is simply change their goals and objectives by the pragmatism of the moment, because there is no overriding principle that's established of not spending more than we take in - that's simply a matter that's left up to congress' own judgements and initiatives, and they're not adequate."
Kramer's solution to the undisciplined spending of congress is "a constitutional change that will mandate a government that lives within its means, and mandates a balanced budget." This mandate, Kramer says, would be "the law of the land." Historic Election ...
Kramer acknowledges that in the upcoming election, the stakes are high. Control of the senate may be at issue.
"Control of the senate Way be at stake in the general election across the country," Kramer says, "and if so, then it does become of historic importance, because it will be a key factor in determining whether the momentum toward making the Republican party the majority party in this country will be continued."
Although Kramer doesn't tie Republican control of the Senate to support of conservative programs regarding defense, some believe that should Republicans lose control of the Senate, and should their momentum slow, there is a chance that funding for the Stra-, tegic Defense Initiative (SDI) could diminish. This, in turn, could adversely effect Kramer's objective of' making Colorado the space capitol of the world . ..............................
THIS WEEK IN THE 11 ©o . ~J~~;c M I S S I 0 N(p¢;~~,

........................ ~0 Sticks <S'
(<The huge
deficits we
have been
running over
the last
generation have put tremendous
boom/bust cycles in the
economy, and unless we can
reverse that, we face grave
economic danger.''
"I think space can and should become the key component of the Col~;;do economy in the 21st century," Kra~er says. "And we've made a lot of progress in Colorado emerging as the space capitol. It's something that, to some degree, is localized in Colorado Springs now, but it's something that ought to go all over the state, or at least in many parts of it.
"I think that SDI has to be an important component of that, it will be the driving force, but it will not be the only part of the equation. From the emergence of the national security aspect will come tremendous civilian spinoffs as well. I do no think they will come nearly in the same way, or to the same degree or magnitude without strategic defense as the propelling ingredient."
Kramer points out that SDI "is not only meaningful in terms of the impact on the Colorado economy, but it's a tremendous opportunity for Colorado to play a role in history that will make this a much safer and saner planet, and ultimately, remove the threat of nuclear weapons." A Question of Government .•.
Kramer's third element of a conservative philosophy - that the leas•
amount of government involvement in the marketplace and in people's lives is desirable - may be his most controversial point.
Who can argue against a government living within its means? Or against a strong and adequate defense? But the least possible involvement of government has dramatic implications for society.
'Tm not saying we can live in an unrealistic world, that things can always fall into place without any government at all. There are some things that, obviously, you need government involved in, to provide an appropriate balance, but I think over the last 50 years or so, we've looked more and more to government to solve every problem in society.
"I think we've learned the hard way that it costs a lot of money, and causes a downside in our economy, and despite all that, we still have many of the same problems.
"Yes, there is an appropriate role for government, but it's one that needs to be kept in balance with individual decision making.
"Ultimately," says Kramer, "individuals are better problem solvers than government is." D

October 17, 18811 The Metropolltlin
Pell Grant Story Rebuffed
Athlete claiins he \Vas Inisquoted, never intervie\Ved Editor:
My name is Kurt Robinson, and I was the subject of an article printed in The Metropolitan some three weeks ago. The article was about how upset I was with my financial situation here at Metropolitan State, as a scholar athlete. I would like to state that I was not quoted correctly and I was not asked, nor did I agree to be interviewed.
My argument is not with the article in general, but with the way the article was
obtained. I believe the writer could have gotten a clearer story if he would have interviewed me directly. I have read the previous articles pertaining to the basketball program, and I think The Metropolitan staff and the students have a large misconception of what the basketball team is receiving for Metro State College.
Still Peeved, Kurt Robinson
Editor: Excuse Ille? Are you serious? C'Illon.
Dear Peeved •Interesting letter. When this one came in I started asking questions, like: Are you serious? Why do you refuse to talk with me about these allegations? Why did you send this letter in by way of an unidentified female? Did you forget about the two people from Student Support that listened in on
the interview. The interview where I sat face-to-face (18 frickin inches) from you?
Remember? They warned you about the trouble with telling the truth. They warned you - as I did - that talking to the student paper has its ups and downs.
The ups, as you learned, is that often you get to stand up for what's right (and keep your Pell Grant - congratulations).
Lack of sports section Br.in gs fans to their feet
Editor:
Why no Sports Section? A portion of my student fees goes to support the student newspaper, I feel an
unjustice is being made to Metro Athletics. All of our athletic teams are doing an outstanding job this fall, they deserve credit and recognition for their hard work and great efforts. So far all I've -read about our teams has been slander and criticism.
Having a good sports program only serves to benefit our school, by bringing potential students and/or sponsors to our campus. Personally, it sounds like the newspaper is "cutting off its nose to spite its face." Publishing statistics of our teams and players is only fair. As a student at Metro, rd like to see a section in the newspaper devoted to informing the rest of the students and faculty about our sports teams I
Editor,
MSC Student Teresa Monagham
In my recent readings of The Metropolitan I have noticed that there is not a designated section for just sports. This has led me to be quite upset and concerned.
I'm a full-time student that pays full tuition and fees. The fees that I pay and others pay support your newspaper. I feel that Metropolitan State College athletes are giving alot of time and effort to support this school.
The women's soccer team and men's soccer team are displaying some pretty impressive records and nobody even knows.
I feel that it is imperative that The Metropolitan should designate a special section, which has the title of sports to those athletes that give so much of themselves for the pride of athletics to this school.
For Your Information
Sincerely, Jody A. Donald
The Metropolitan receives 5~ of the total fees allocated for Fiscal Year 86-87. This amounts to $2.03 per full-time student per semester. Fees cover about 40$ of our operating expenses, the remaining~ is self-generated. Intercollegiate athletics receives 31.~ of the total or $12.90 per full-time student per semester. _._ ..... .... _.. .... - .. , ...... ....
The downs are that those who don't look good don't feel good. (And, they usually take it out on somebody.)
I hope that's not happening to you. But this bizarre letter - this Twilight Zone .recollection - smells real bad.
A few days after the story came out, Bill Helman told one of our reporters that "it's going to be a hard year for Kurt with that attitude."
And hard it is. I'm sorry for that. But, remember, I warned you about repercussions.
And now I understand some of your teammates want the same privileges you have. I hear they want to keep their Pells, too. But by now I'm sure they've been briefed on how to talk to the media.

New admissions standards for state schools
by Lucy Stolzenburg
The Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) recently approved new admission standards for the state's 12 colleges and universities that will attempt to match student ability with school curriculum.
Gil Perea, CCHE student representative, said the new standards, which will be effective next fall, will benefit students who otherwise might drop out.
"Under the old standards, lots of students dropped out of schools like CU because they couldn't handle the curriculum," Perea said. "These new standards will make sure a student is eligible for success."
A student whose index score is 95 would be encouraged to apply to schools in the selective category. Theoretically, the kind of curriculum found in those schools would be more attuned to that student's academic abilities.
But a· student who wants to apply to schools that have higher requirements than the student's index score should not be discouraged. All institutions will accept up to 20 percent of freshmen who may not match index scores but do show promise. This would include minority students, students with special talents and disabled students.
The commission projects that the new standards will distribute students more evenly throughout the system.
"These standards will make sure a student is eligible for success." - Gil Perea, CCHE representative
MSC will continue to accept students over 20 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent, but younger freshmen must comply with the new standards. ·
Under the new requirements, freshmen will be given a standard index score based on high school grade point average, class rank and ACT and SAT scores. The schools will have minimum index scores that they will accept.
Perea admitted that the formula for determining the index score seems to be a secret.
"But that score will tell you where you should go in the state," Perea said.
The standards have divided colleges and universities into a four-tiered system for admissions eligibility (see chart).

Students who aspire to attend schools with higher admission standards than • their index scores will be encouraged to transfer up after a year or two.
Perea said the commission is also working on a new statewide transfer program. Students can now transfer b~ed on grade point average, but sometimes credits are not accepted.
"Teachers sometimes get on a high horse and think no one can teach a class like they can," Perea said. "Students end up spending more money and have to take more classes."
Perea said the new standards will strengthen Colorado's higher education system.
The standards will be reviewed on an annual basis,'' Perea said. "It's time the commission analyzes what it is and where it's going." D

Friendship fest brings culture to canipus.
L .bY J. Johnson
The fifth annual World Friendship Festival transformed St. Francis' courtyard into an intercultural mall on Oct. 8 and 9 with ethnic cuisine, arts and crafts, exhibits and entertainment.
Based on the theory of caring and sharing, the festival offered tempting foods from different countries, like Vietnamese egg rolls, Chinese pork fried rice, English cookies, lasagna, and barbequed ribs.
To enhance the fare, international beers tapped the taste buds of thirsty students wanting something other than tea and carbonated drinks.
Live entertainment and games provided a different attraction as one group, Kummba, presented an AfricanBrazilian dance with songs and martial art. During their performance the dancers offered invitations to the audience and a couple of students discovered that the martial art maneuvers were not executed as simply as they appeared to be.
Nonetheless, with concentration and determination the students strove to exhibit the same precision their teachers did.
Just a few feet away, pingpong tables provided a much lighter, though possibly not easier, challenge for participants.
The air of festivity encompassed both days, but most of the clubs and· organizations participating in the festival had serious reasons for being there. Groups like The Baptist Student Union and Nairobi Committee of Denv~ Sister Cities were trying to raise money for charitable support within their organization, as well as to' expose students to their clubs.
Others, such as La Pagoda restaurant and Egyptian Imports, wanted to introduce students to their businesses.·
Whatever cause contributed to the involvement, less than 15 of the 25 booths that were expected to particpate actually did so. Each group had to

Jon White, an MSC student buys one of the l.3 million cans of pop sold on campus each semester.
by Steve Irick
There is no doubt about it, students on the Auraria campus like to drink soda pop, and there is a lpt of money to be made because of it.
To express it in more graphic terms, more than 126,000 gallons of the caramel-colored, carbonated sugar water are expected to be consumed by students at the Auraria campus during this semester alone - which equals almost four gallons of pop for every student on the campus.
That's a lot of pop.
With approximately 28,000 full and part-time students on campus, that would average to almost three cans of pop for every student each week for 16 weeks. .
That's a lot of pop cans. According to officials at the Rey
nolds aluminum recycling center in Denver, aluminum cans are worth 19¢ - 21¢ a pound.
"We give 19¢ a pound for the first 45 pounds and 21 ¢ a pound for every pound thereafter," Kurt Barker, a recycling purchase agent for Reynolds, said.
photo by Dale Crum According to Linda Miller, ware
house supervisor for ARA Services, Auraria's concession distributer, approximately 135-140 cases of pop have been delivered to vending machines on campus each day this semester.
Barker said that it takes approximately 20 cans to make one pound. In other words, each empty soda pop can is worth about a penny.
Players produce Dracula with Hunger Artists
"We deliver an average of 700 cases to the Auraria campus each week," Miller said.
This equates to approximately 16,800 cans of pop each day or about 84,000 cans each week or more than 1.3 million cans of the sticky-sweet stuff per semester.
In other words, the empty pop cans available each day in the garbage cans of the campus are worth $160 a day, or $800 each week.
Thinking of it in larger terms, $12,800 is available to anyone who wants it every semester, just for digging into a few p;arbap;e cans.
And that's a lot of money. Drink up Auraria. D

3. A good question. Though some of you may have answered "neither," let's really think about it. In this case, it sounds like the conscientious senator learned an important lesson. She demonstrated that she knows the difference between right and wrong and is willing to fight for the truth.
l. Probably not. Politicians rarely blow the whistle on themselves. This was truly a rare event. Politicians do, however, blow the whistle on each other. Few, though, are willing to do it "on the record."
On the other hand, the other sena-tor is still waiting for the Judicial '9'
How common is this? 2. That's debatable. So far this
semester, the Senate has produced a scandal story for The Metropolitan on the average of once a month. Yet some politicians say the Met doesn't adequately cover student government. Maybe we should consider a "Senate
Board to tell him if he was right or wrong. Let's rephrase the question and ask who does the Senate need more?

Another student also expressed her appreciation of the festival. "I thought the fee was excessive for a

"Peggy Sue" simply mundane by Sean-Mlchael Giimore
In the promotional hype for the new movie Peggy Sue Got Married, the premise we are given is, "Peggy Sue Bodell - a mother of two grown children and facing divorce - attends her 25th high school reunion. A series
• of events sends her back to the year ' 1960 to live out everyone's fantasy ...
to live their life over." Sounds like Back to the future for
bored housewives. But the film was directed by Aca
demy award winner Francis Ford - Coppola and playing the lead role of
Peggy Sue is Kathleen Turner, one of todays top actresses. Even Coppola's mistakes are great pieces of cinema, so the feeling is there must be more to this film than meets the eye.
Unfortunantly there isn't. This is a totally mundane film and
only some good moments by Turner and a sentimental cameo by Maureen O'Sullivan are worth the viewing.
The film starts out with Peggy Sue's 25th high school reunion, which quickly
~ turns into a cliche of all school reunions. The class brain (why are they always
nerds?) does tum out to make a million in computer design. Big dumb jocks tum into fat dumb adults and there are plenty of divorces.
The best acting (in fact the only acting) of the film occurs after "a series of events" sends Peggy Sue back to her senior year in high school. Peggy Sue wakes up during a Red Cross blood drive next to her best friends Maddy Nagle (Joan Allen) and Carol Heath
..,. (Catherine Hicks) who can't understand why their friend is suddenly acting so strangely. Peggy Sue is sent home by the school nurse in a confused state. At home Turner greets her mothet, now twenty five years younger. The shock on Peggy Sue's face is
'1lfl# mingled with the obvious nostalgic love she is feeling. ''I'd forgotten you were ever this young," she tells her mother, played by Barbara Harris.
In her old room Peggy Sue moves around touching the items of her
..: childhood, her mood alternating from the bewilderment of her position to the warmth of her memories. It is at this point that the movie succeeds. It touches that place in all of us that longs to- return to the love, comfort and security of our childhood.
Peggy Sue treats her boyfnend and husband to be, Charlie Bodell (Nicholas Cage) with scorn, blaming him now for the mistress he will take twenty five years later. This of course confuses Charlie but only makes him determined to convince Peggy Sue of his
-; undying love. Peggy Sue doesn't have too much
trouble dealing with his adolescent behavior, eventually falling m love with him all over again despite a one night affair with a romantic loner,
...- played by Kevin O'Conner, the one boy in school Turner wished she had "done it with."
The best part of the film is Peggy Sue's return to the farm of her grandparents, wonderfully played by Maureen O'Sullivan and Leon Ames. It is a
'· warm and touching moment that unfortunantly leads into a ridiculous scene in her grandfather's lodge resulting in
Peggy Sue's return to the present. The attention to detail in the sets and
costumes are vintage Coppola but it isn't enough to save the film. With the exception of Turner the acting is static and the message is unclear. Is the story telling us we can solve our marital problems by taking a little trip in our heads - back to a time when things were simple and we will remember why we fell in love with our spouse in the first place?
The solution and the film are both too sirpple.
Turner never looks like a teenager and this film never convinces us it was made by Coppola. o
Kathleen Turner as Peggy Sue helps the class brain plan for the future.

Student defeats stigma of learning disabi.lities

There are students who have severe speech disorders. There are students who have dyslexia. These are only two of the many learning disabilities.
In 1970 the National Center for Educational Statistics took a survey. It reported 4, 752,000 school-age children suffered from some type of serious learning difficulty. The survey showed that almost 107 of every 1,000 children are educationally handicapped, with the boys outnumbering the girls six to one.
I was the one girl. I went to a private school when I was
in the first and second grade. I liked to go to school, there I enjoyed it very much. I changed to a public school when I was in the third and fourth grade. I hated it there; the teachers and I didn't get along. I didn't learn anything at all.

My parents taught me everything I ne~ded to know to be ready for school, and helped me with my subjects in school. I was in special education throughout school. I went to a private school when I was in the fifth and sixth
grade. I learned a lot in those years. I had a lot of fun during those two years.

Who's got the goods?
by Gall Rgnontl
Public Safety authorities are unsure if a file cabinet filled with used textbooks was stolen or merely misplaced last week in the Central Classroom building.
Charles Maldonado, director of Veteran's Upward Bound, reported the cabinet missing Oct. 8. He said it contained 70 used textbooks and miscellaneous items valued at $280.
Maldonado said he had problems filing the theft report with Public Safety when he first noticed the cabinet missing because he had to first check with
other departments in the building and the Physical Plant, only to discover that no one knew its whereabouts.
When he reported the incident, he was told by a Public Safety officer that this has happened before in other departments, and the Physical Plant may be at fault by mistakenly taking the cabinet and not writing a work order.
"Of course they aren't going to say they took it if the proper paperwork wasn't done," Maldonado said.
He also said Public Safety will _be "keeping any eye out for the cabinet" in the building during their daily rounds. D

Colorado homeless unite by Gail Rgnontl
Colorado has the second highest homelessness rate in the United States with over 3,000 people wandering the streets of Denver trying to find shelter.
People are not fully aware of Denver's homeless problem, according to Josepha Eyre of the Stout Street Clinic, because of the city's zoning regulations, which keep shelters and low income , housing hidden away.
"The homes and shelters are usually in the very worst and most undesirable part of town," Eyre said, "which is an attempt to not let the rest of the
are so many homeless people and what ·can be done to help them.
"The homeless are not bums," Eyre said. "Many want to get jobs and get off the streets for good." But, she said, there are no employment programs available to help these people find work.
"The homeless need more suppport from society at large," Eyre said. .,.
In order to develop public awareness, Washington-based activist Mitch Snyder will speak Oct. 16 at 7:30 p .m. at the Holy Ghost Church at 1900 .California St., to kick off a two-day, seminar and workshop for the home- ·

population feel uncomfortable. However, if the public were made aware of the homeless, they might feel more compassion."
Compassion, however, is not the only thing the homeless need. Eyre wants to establish new programs that could help the homeless get their lives back together both financially and emotionally. Once they have new ideas, she said, they need funds to make the ideas work.
According to Eyre, no one has addressed the problem of why there
