The film was originally pulled from theaters two weeks after its initial release,because Coppola felt media and studio politics surrounding the movie would ruin its reception. "[t's a very minor release,it's a hLm no one's seen,reallr,,"Coppola said., "lt died in such controversythat when you see it you'll say 'what was the (big deal).'It rvas clearly an experimental film: it was romantic, almost like a musical, but, you know, as I'r'e said "Apocalypse (Now)" was very controversial before ("One Frcm the Heart") and damned before it came out. "Apocalypse" rventon to be pretty successful,and then this came out and it \las the samedeal. So I just 1'ankedit, put it in the basement.and said forget about it.

Tivoli paint removalsaid s#e for all byDaciaCox TheMeowntm, The Tivoli's history is being exposedas renovations continue. and the 16 difrerent buildings that make up.the Tivoli are beginning to showtheir differentcolorsandagesof brick aspaint removalcontinues. ' The paint on the outsideof the building doesnot contain traceablelead, but the processusedto removethis paint $.ill prctect the building's visitors regardless.

This processis a peel-awayprocessthat containsthe paint as it is being removed.

If sandblastin! had been the method of paint removalfor this process,it would have caused the old paint to become airbome.

Since the peel-awayprocess is a liquid process,the old paint is kept out of the air visilorsbreathe.

The peel-awayis not a caustic chemical product but workers still wear extensive protective gear because of their constant exposureto it.

Bartara Weiske. director of Student Auxiliary Services,said aboutthe peel-away process,"The fade-off is we have to use more water to do this."

A higher amountof lead in the paint has been found on the wooden window frames.'

Weiske said that these windows will be rernovedusing a containmentprocessso the toxins do not contaminatethe building.

The total renovation project will cost $28 million. Twenty million of this is actual construction.The other $8'million will go toward engineeringand planning.

"The buildingwill be a lot m6reefticient and a lot more comfortable,"said Weiskeof the end result.

In 2000,Auraria studentspasseda referendumfor the ftrnding of this project.

Revenuebonds were then financed-to complete the project in two to three years instead'ofthe minimumof l0 yean it would haveotherwisetaken. l'The more you break it down and spread it oug the moreexpensiveit qill get," Weiske said.

by JayVasconcellos IheMetrcpolinn TheAurariaCampuspolicesaytherehave been28 bicycletheftsreportedon the Auraria Campusin 2003.Theseare only a fractionof the $1.5million in bike theftsthat occurannually in Denver.

"That's not too bad, considering that Auraria Campus sits in the precinct that has had the third highestnumbersin bike thefts in the city," said Mike Zimrne4 a DenverBicycle RecoveryUnit detective.

During a typical week on Auraria Campus, thebike racksarefull. Manystudents chooseto ride bikes as an altemative form of transportation so they don't have to fight crowdedroadwaysor dealwith parkingcostsor congestion.

"I like ridinga bikero classbecause campusis so accessible by bicycle,"saidAlexaJobnson,a Metro studentwho ridesherbike for 20 minutes to campus.

Auraria Campusbike racks are crammed with bikes of all types: mountainbikes, dirt bikes, cruisers,and road bikes.. The cost of the bikes range from $2,200to around$150 per bike, and statisticsshowthat thievesdon't discrirninate. They target all q,pesand values of bikes, especially if they are not properly protected.

The most commonlock used by bicycle riders on Auraria Campus is the cable lock.

Accordingto Auraria Campuspolice reports,of the six bicyclesstolenon AurariaCampusthis

semester, all hadcablelocks.

Properprotectionof a bike includesthree things,accordingto Zirnmer:Usingthe correct type of lock, securingthe bike properlywith the lock and registeringthe bicycle before it getsstolen.

Thereare severaltypesof locksavailable, rangingin priceaswell aslevel of security,but somearesimplylesseffective.

"Cablelocksare easilycut, and the longer U-type locks, regardlessof bran4 are more securethanthe cables,"saidMike Schrock,an REI bike salesassociate andbicycleenthusiast, More securethan the U-locksare the new "handcuff' stylelocksthat haverecentlycome out. "We can't keepthemon the shelfbecause theyareso popular,"saidSchrock.

Thehandcufflocksaremoresecurebecause therearetwo loopsjoinedby a hinge. Oneloop attaches to thebike andthe otherattaches to the bike rack, so thereis no cableto cut.

The Ulocks costabout$30andthehandcuff lockscostabout$50 at localbicycleshops.

Whenlockinga bike to a rack,the method is as important as the lock. According to Schrock,the propermethodbeginswith releashg the front wheel and securingit to the back ofthe frame andrearwheel.This preventsparts thievesfrom stealingthe front wheel. Thelock shouldpassthroughthe frameandbothwheels and then shouldbe securedto a post or bike rack.

Despitemore complex locks and proper securingprocedures, bicyclescan still be sto-

Fewerthanfive percentof the recoveredbikes areretumedto theirownersbecause thereis no way to link a bike to its owner.

Bike serialnumberregistrationis the tool that links a bike to its owner.

A local option for bicycle registrationis lhe Denver Police Bicycle Recovery Unit.

A bike can be registered,at no charge,by accessingthe bicycle registration page at www.denvergov.org/bikeregistration.asp or by calling(303)295-4390.

DetectiveZimmer said the bike recovery ratein Denveris aroundninepercent.

Manyofthe bikesthatarerecovered endup at the City andCountyof DenverBike Auction because theyarenot registered.

The bike auctionsare held three to four times a year and, accordingto Zimmer, onethird to one-halfof the bikesat the auctionare stolenproperty.

Bikesareheld for 60 daysto give the owners a chanceto claim them;afler that they are sentto auction.

There are also national bike registration programsavailableto bike owners, such as the National Bike Registry. The NBR sells a bicycle registrationkit at bike shops for $10. The kit entitlesthe ownerto l0 yearsof membership in theNBR. Bikes are an importantmode of transportation for many students,regardlessof the monetaryvalueof the bike. Bike ownerscanhelp decrease their exposureto bike theft by using more secure locks, securing the bike properly and by registeringthe bike with a local or nationalbike registrationprogram.

The bus pass includes free local4imited Denver bus service, free light rail services, expressand regionalroutes,and a $2 discount on the SkyRideserviceto DIA, all with a valid studentID. These services exclude non-regional routes, such as in Boulder or Longmont, The passexcludesany specialservices,such as the Bronco Ride, Rockies Ride, and the Cultural ConnectionTrolley.

Stamper,showinghis personalapprovalof the program,said,"I very much encouragethe studentpopulationto go out andvote on this because it is a $eat deal."

I work at a hotel in my sparetime. The other day, I was taking a break and talking on the phone in the back when I witnessed somethingdisturbing- tnrly a sign of our selfish-materialistic-nai've-unmotivated-me-me-me culture.

A young rnanjumped out of his fifth-floor roomin anattemptt6 kill himself.I don'tknow what led him to do sucha thing. I don't know what would lead anyoneto do such a thing, but I feel safe sayingthat this young man, and many more like hirn, had lost all hope of having a goodlife. All ofour gadgetsandgizmos cannotprovidea reaihopefor living; theyonly provide depression,despair,ftustration,andthe hope that more toys will keep us disillusioned long enoughto get throughtife.

This young man was a straight-A student.

He drove a Mercedes. He was well dressed.

He was cleancut. His parentslovedhim. He had enoughmoney for a hotel room. He had all over his room. He owneda CDs scattered portableradio.

they produce. This soundslike an excellent idea, until you really take a look at how the mandateworks in the real world. Let's takethe FordMotor Co.,for inslance.Fordcontinuesto produceSUVs and evenhasbehemothslike the Excursionin their lineup. On the otherend of the spectrumthey producecars like the Escort, which roundsout their line.

CAFE takesthe averageof the entire line and usesthat asthe standardto which the companiesare held. The problem with this is that anautomobilemanufacturercanmakea car that getssevenmiles to the gallon,as long as they also make one that gets forty or fifty miles per gallon,so their averagefuel efficiencymeetsthe governmentstandard.The governmentis giving permissionto the auto industryto build vehicles that get hbrrible gas mileage and allowing our naturalresourcesto go up in smoke.

So how do we solve this problem? One soluiion is to raisethe CAFE standards,thereby putting pressureon the auto industry to build more fuel efficient vehicles. Naysayersto this plan will point out that the industry shouldhave

the right to build whateverthe marketdemands.

The problemwith this argumentis that it is the industryitselfthatcreatesthedemand.It seems implausibie that there was a massivewrite-in campaignfrom Americansto build largervehiclesthatonly got l0 or I I milespergallon.

Others will claim that there.are statistics which demonstratethat ever since the CAFE standardswere passed,more Americans have relatedaccidents.Ofcourse, diedin automobile the slatistics probably don't take into account the fact that thereare more &ivers on the rgad, in increasinglylargervehicles,andthat they are beingover-stressed by poorlydesignedhighway systemswhich failed to leave room for rapid growth.

The new stricter standardsmay affect the pocketbooksof the avemgeAmerican, because new technologyrarely comescheap. The longterm results. however. make this initial cost worthwhile. Someofthe benefitswould be less on foreign oil, a lesseningof the dependence environmentalimpact and savingsfor the consuner at the pump. Our demandfor oil hasbeen

steadilyrising and thereappearsto be no end in sight. Our focusshouldbe on altemativefuel sourcesand creatingtechnologywhich allows manufacturersto increasethe fuel efficiency of currentautomobiles.IfAmerica hasthemoney to put towardcloning sheepanddevelopingever morepowerfrrlweaponsofwar, it seemsreasonable to assumethat theremight be funds available for increasingautomobiletechnology.

With this plan, America could continue to purchaseoil-ftom foreign powers at the same rate it currentlydoes,and-beginto stockpile portions of it as the fuel efficiency of cars continues to rise. In this way we would not have to worry about the instability in the Middle East, and could use our reservesshould such a condition occur. This would also allow us to maintaina relationshipwith thesecountriesand hopefully enableAmerican influence to work within the govemmentsof theseforeign powers.

All of thesethings are possibleand I think that the only questionthat remainsto be answeredis, when do we start?

But, what fihn festival could openwithout a few words from the elite responsiblefor putting the eventtogether.

Chairmanof the Board of Directors of the Denver Filn Society,Tom Botelho, openedthe 26th StarzDenverIntemationalFilm Festival,welcomingeveryoneto the festivalas well as introducing and thanking lhe nearly 100 sponsorsof the event. The audience wqs then entertainedwith a comedic short featurine a prominent. independent film drector in a stereotypical, yuppie, indie'director mood, criticizing

the commercialism of Hollyvood while

constantlysurroundedby the difrerent logosandFoducts ofthe festival'ssponsors' John Sie, Founder,Chairman and CEO of Starz! Encore Group, praised the amount and diversityof the films (nearly200 rilith the shortestfilm at 50 seconds,the longestat 30Gplus minutes)and encouragedeveryoneto enjoy the festival, DenverFilm SocietyArtistic Director Ron Hendersonjustified his title by giving the festival its truly properchristening.

"Our 26th year literally sparkleswith cinematic treasuresfrom every comer of the.world," Henderson said.

But by then the audiencewas ready to experiencethe upcoming-majormotion picture release theyhadcometo see.

"TheHumanStain,"basedon thebookof thesamenameby PhilipRoth,is a powerfulfilm that AnthonyHopkins will makeit hardfor theAcademynot to takenotice.The eternally-brilliant at a prestigious starsastheslightly-cynicalColemanSilk,whosecareerasa collegeprofessor universitycomesto anendafter unintentionallyusingthe word "spooks,"to describetwo whojust happened to beAfrican-American, andoutragedat his use missingstudents, of the once-racistterm.

But to throw some fire in the mix is Lester Farley (Ed Harris), Faunia's mentally unstable ex-husband who's constantly blaming her for the death of their children. Harris tries to scare the audience with his character,but probably succeeds more in angering and disturbing viewers with a

torturedsoul.

-

Director Robert Benton, the man behind the Academy-

Award-winning "Kramer vs. Kramer," thrives to remind the humanfrailty, without makingthem audienceof the characters' lookpathetic.Thesuccess of"The HumanStain"liesin theactors' capability to remain enthralling no matter the fastball pitched al them. This could be the result of proper characterdevelopmenton the screenwriter's part, but the performances speak volumes more.

In a year of lackluster gimmick films and shallow blockbusters and sequels,Hendersonand his crew were really wise in picking "The Human Stain" to open DIFF's 26th year.

We'll see if it's the cinematic anecdoteto the mainstreammovle scene for 2003 when the film hits theatersnation-wide at the end ofthe month.

The lightersideof love and life as seenthroughthe eyes of of theblind in 'A Heart Elsewhere'

by Clayton Woullard ItalianDirectorPupiAvati mustrealizethe world takesitselftoo seriously,especiallywhenit comesto love and the trivialitiesof romance.With "A Hâ&#x201A;Źart Elsewhere,"("ll Cuore Altrove" in Italian) Avati love with theshadeof humorit deserves, asa exposes constantpursuitby all.

"A Heart Elsewhere,"which premieredin the United States at the Denver IntemationalFilm Festival Oct. 10, finds the main character,Nello Balocchi(Neri Marcore),sentto Bolognafrom Rome to teachhigh school Greek and Latin, and to punue long-awaited loveandmarriage.

At 35,Nello remains a virgin and hasnevermarried.The beautifulAngela Gardini(Vanessa Incontrada)comesalongto change all thatwhenNello fallsfor herright away.He'slucky in that she'sblind (from somekind of accident),but there'sa catch- her father forbids and wamsagainst any romanticadvances.

Nello falls right into Angela's hands, soon discovering he's involved in the rebound from her previousengagementto ParrosoSantaLucia (Cesare Cremonini)who is, nonetheless, not in favor of this new relationship.Aagela'sdesperateavoidanceand obviouspettinessaddsto the humorof a siniationin which shy Nello alwayshastrouble makingsense.

Setin a time bet'weenthe two World \lfus, it's often the small momentsanduniquecharacters,like Nello's rcornmate,Domenico Riccio (Nino D'Angelo), a barberwho doesnothingto help Nello'sproblems, who bring levity to the film. Nello's domineering fatherCesareBalocchi(GiancarloGiannini),a tailor to thePopeandless-than-faithful husband, addssome humanify to the story although it's hard to get the image of his .disemboweled Florencedetectivein "Hannibal"hangingin thenight air,out ofmy head.

Cesarealsopresentsa conflictfor Nello whenhe finally meetsAngelaandis not too pleasedto find out she'sblind. While Nello'sparents'reactionis one of the most humorousscenesin the film, the sympathy you'vedevelopedalreadyfor Nello only deepensas ' his parentsrefuseto signoffon his first truelove.

Director Avati, who's written, producedand directedover 30 films, fieldeda few questionsfrom theaudience with whathecalled"badEnglish,"in lieu of "beautifulItalian."

When asked of the inspiration for "A Heart Elsewhere,"Avati cited an experiencewith his mother. of my "A lot of my movieswerewrittenbecause mother,"he said."In Bolognashewouldtell us about the countryandhow theblind lived in a housewith the nuns.Shetold ofhow someofthe menwouldride in on their bicyclesandcometo dancewith theseblind women.I startedwriting a script aboutthesetypesof men."

Avati told of how he got into his movie career after an unsuccessful careeras a jazz musician,but his love for jazz musicwould laterplay a part in his filmmaking.

I'vebeenableto "With thecamera,thisinstrument, in life, aboutmy memories, tell aboutmy experiences aboutmy family andaboutjazz music,"he said.

In 1990,Avatimadeamovieabouthisfavoritejazz leadinghirn to send musicianLeonBix Beiderbecke, a letterto the governorof lowa. He askedto make who madehis home in a movie aboutBeiderbecke, Davenport,lowa,in a houseAvatihassincerenovated to themusician. as.ahistoricalmuseumdedicated While Avati is not afraid to admit his mistakes, citing an intemationalfilm he madewhich was "a greatflop," he noted the reasonhis latestfilm is a success, in ltaly andseveralofthe other26 countries whereit's beendistributed.

"The quality of the acting,I think, is good,"he said. "They'reput in a very familiar situationand the descriptions in the scriptwerevery clear."

Studentftghtsglobalization

by ClaytonWoullard TheMetowlitan Early last month, Metro junior Caroline Fontourawas in Cancun,Mexico, but not for an early springbreakvacation.Shewasthereto stof the World TradeOrganization (a group she said is trying to keepthe poor in its place) even ifshe couldn'twalk.

"The WTO and the initiatives being . pushedby the United Statesand the European infuriating,"Fontourasaid.

Unionareabsolutely "What's amazing about the WTO is that they maketheir initiativessoundcompletelyaltruistic. They saythatthey wantto helppoorpeople and that they want to createjob opponunities. but whatthey'rereallydoingis takingawayjob opportunitiesfrom the poor."

Having sprainedher ankle two days before, her original purpcsein the protestswas "re-directed."She volunteeredat the Independent Media Centerwhere sheregisteredreporters (video, photography, intemet reporting), cleanedup a little, or did security and attended council meetings.Originally bom in Mexico City, moving to the United Statesat an early and age,Fottoura is also fluent in Portuguese Spanishand helped to translate an article for Spanish-speakers.

While she wasn't able to participate in magy of the marchesas she wished, she felt whatshewasdoingwasimportant.

"There's an extreme need for staying in one placb,"shesaid,"becauseif you're flying to anothercountry,you don't just want to sit in a building, you want to b€ taking part in the marches."

Arriving in Cancunon Sunday,Sept.7 on a bus from Mexico City with about30 Mexican workers, she was amazed by what she saw.

About l0 otherbusesfull of thesamenumberof peoplewerearrivingat themain sitein Cancun; which waspositioneda distanceawayfrom the perimeterof the hotelcomplexwherethe WTO talks were golng on. Shealso describeda large tarp-coveredareawith sinks, food and tubs full ofbags of water for peopleto drink.

Fontourawas one of about 10,000activists from all over the world, but one of only a relative few that she knew of from Denver.

Among the protestetswere thosefrom European countries, Latin American countries,Australia and. South Korea, the country of farmer and protest leader Lee Kyoung-Hae, who stabbed himself and died in a hospitallater.

Fontourasaid Kyoung-Haewas not mentally ill as labeledby many,and that while what he did wasshocking,he lvasjust in his cause.

"I wasjust completelytakenabackby the dedicationof this man to his cause.I was very conflicted.I didu't know whatto think" shesaid.

'I think it's a valid form ofprotest; I dont necessarily agreewith martyrdom.I personallythink we can do more being alive and taking actions.

Nonetheless,I respecthis action."

This was the first large demonstration she'dever been to and she was amazedby the number of different peopleand the feeling that senseof commrmitygavehei.

"Being in an environmentwith thousands of otheractivistsis oneofthe mostinvigorating and motivating experiences,"she said.'At that moment,I knew I wasn't aloneand I knew that a global network ofresistancewasb€ingcreated and maintained."

The people of Cancun initially did not support the protesters.According to Fontoura, protesterswere referred to as globolifobicos, which ranslatesto'globalization-phobics"in English,becauseof what the peoplewere being told in the media.Shesaidby the endof the protestson Sunday,Sept. 15, when the talks broke down, rrany ofthe peoplesupportedthem. *Riding in the taxis in Cancunandhearing the propagandathat they were listeningto on the radioswas so incrcdible," shesaid."The people

the police eventuallystartedcrying with him.

"When (my friend) told me that, I just got chills all overmy body,"shesaid."That'swhat needsto be done:grassrootsconnectionand9ducation.And the thing is that a lot of thesepeople don't evenknow that thewTo exists.It's in (the WTO'S)benefitto maintainignorance."

As far as why sheparticipatedin the protests,she said it first startswith what the WTO is doing and how it is d'maging to the people of Mexico.

"If there'sa corporationthat hasthe ability to buy and own severalpiecesof land within one town, let's say,there'sno way that a small farmer can competewith rhis largecorporation, becausethey don't havethe initial moneyto createwhatevergoodsthey need,"shesaid.

Shealso felt it was importantto participate becausethe WTO conferencewas taking place where a group of Mexican farmers, the Z,apatistas,uprose on Jan. l, 1994 when the North American Free Trade Agreement was implemented.

"It's just so completelypertinentbeing there,"she said. "This is the productof what NAFTA is or what NAFTA hasdone.What has peoplesof Mexicois happened to theindigenous a productof whatNAFTA hascreated."

Fontourasaid it wasthe actionsof the fellow protestersthat movedher the most.

"One of the most am zing visuals I think of when I think of the time I spent in Cancun was seeinghundredsof peoplepulling on these ropes to bring down the barricades,"she said.

"And thenthe pressexpectingviolenceto erupt between thepolice andtheprotestersandinstead _ ofviolenceerupting,we hada sit-in."

Overall the experienceleft her with hope.

"I cameback with an even strongerconviction to educatemyself,so as to hopefullybe able to educateother people.And that conviction was fortified a hundredtimeson this trip.

"I felt like by the end,a family was created.I know a lot of thesepeopleI'll seeagain at other protestsand events.That's why I think global networkingis really important."

Sbesaidthis wasjust thebeginning.

"I feet like I'm definitelygoing to be an activist for the rest of my life," she said. "And I feel like there'sstill so muchmore I needto leam andthat I needto build within myself, like a confidencein the knowledgethat I do have.

And I think that's somethingthat comeswith time and with experience."

She plans on attending the Free Trade Agreementof the Americas protestsin Miami Nov.20-22,aninitiativesignedin 1998andsupportedby the W'TO. "I think it's really importantto continueto havea presencein theseactionsworldwide andI continueto do so."

Breakingup with Glasseater byTuyetNguyen TheMenopolinn Having a crushon someoneis an awkward experience. A quick glance here, an embarrassingencounterthere- it's like this huge gameof cat and mouse,crusherversuscrushee.

There'snothing worsethan having a crush;that is, excepttrying to get over it.

Somewherein this tangle of emotionis whereGlassealerfinds their home. Their latest album, 'Everything is Beautifirl if You Don't Look Down." is a musical documentationof life's up and downs, a personalview into the trials and tribulations of being in and out of a relationship.

A part of Victory Records'roster, MiamibasedGlasseateris most often lumped in with bandsrmder the "screamo" genre - the new buzzword that finds common ground with bands lifte Thursday, Thrice and Poison the Well. Screamo:onepartscream,two partsemo; it's punk rock attitudein a hardcoreshell, heavy guitarsandbreakdownscontrastedwiththe delicatesingingofa brokenhearton a sleeve.

The name Glasseateris more thanjust an obscureSimpsonsreference;their musical and lyrical direction has pushedit toward a much more fitting title than eventhe bandmight have writes songsof emotion intended. Glasseater muchlike digestingshardsof a andheartache; windoq it tearsup the insides. shattered Formedin 1998,the quintetmet through the local Miami .scene, . Attendingmanyof the samehardcoreand punk shows,they eventually got togetherand formed a band with the hopes of blending their difierent musical tastes. In the beginning,it was not much more than that.

Bassistand backing vocalist Anthony Lopez explainedto AMP Magazine, "When we first starte4 we werejust doing it to play showsand

have a good time, not many goals were set. It was only until a year or two later drat things got more sqious that we startedsetting goals andall."

Glasseaterhas accomplishedquite a lot in dreir five-year existence. They staded out by playing local clubs and funding their own small tours during summerand winter breaks.

Eventually,the band's intense live shows and $owing popularity offered them chances to play with the likes of AFI, GreenDay, Dillinger EscapePlan,DashboardConfessionaland other bigwigsin the scene.

Between all the touring and playing out locally, the band was also able to attract the attentionof more than just a few labels.

Makingmorecontactsthanmostbandscaneven imagine,Glasseaterdebutedon ldes of March put out recordson Records,'thgn subsequently EulogyandFearless beforereleasingtheir latest effort on \4ctory.

The newest album, despitereceiving a lot of positive responsefiom fans, has also beensubjectto muchharshercriticism. There alongwith are thosewho feel that Glasseater, their other emo-hardcorecohorts, have wom

out their welcomein the scene.The half-singing, half-screamingblend of hardcorehasbeen replicated to the point of monotony. While Glasseatermay be sincere,their originality has beenburied under the mountainof bandswith similar names,sormdsand lyrics. They have fallen victim to their orvn flourishing trend.

Fortunatelyfor them, this doesn't seemto have affectedtheir fan basemuch. With their aggressivetouring and energeticlive shows, Glasseateris still able to draw big crowds and even gamer somerespectfrom their most dauntedof critics. If a continuallymounting audienceis any sign,theseflve boys may just be ableto outlive the copycatsaroundthem. For won't manyloyal fans,the crushon Glasseater be one that goesaway too easily.

Aimlessly WookieFoot

by JoeyTipton TheMetrcpolinn Skippingaroundthe genrespecmrm can prove successfulfor bands in few circumstances.WookieFoot is one group that seemsto slip in its effort to createcohesivesound.

Billed as "hippie-hop" and a blend of today's notables in dub and hip-hop, WookieFootcomesup short in its own production.

The group is promoting the online release of its album "Out of the Jal' (which can be found on their Website- wookiefoot.com).including an Oct. 24 opening slot at the Boulder Theater. The album features moody, wandering melodies and rants ofdubious effect.

Some tracks are bass-driven, lam-band guitar experiments,other tracks feature thrashing metallic rifts. and still other tracks are a genuine display of freestyle skills.

Tracks range from parables to protestations, and the seven-piece band rambles throueh a discon-

nectecJoumey.

What the album fails to accomplish is the buildingofan interconnectedfeel.

Civen the eclecric varietr the hacks individually showcase, WookieFoot may be one band that revealsits talent better on the stage than in the studio.

Mark Murphy and Jo Jo Lash. who started WookieFoor in Minneapolis,call their collective group the Wookies and they reportedly live under one roof.

While the communal style may mean that everyone brings something diffcrent to the plate, "Out of the Jar" shows that a slice of everything makes for an aimless dish.

WookieFoot will be bringing their hippie-hop to the Boulder Theater on Oct. 24 rt 9 p,m.

Tbe Boulder Theater is locrted on 2032 l4th St . Boulder.

The show is 2l+ cnd tbere will be sushi and drinks served. Tickâ&#x201A;Źts rre $45 for BtrlOCA membcrs, $55 for non-members, rnd $100 for VIP tickets.

By Stephen Shulz fhe Menopolitan

by Davil Merril - 7le Menopolinn 'Runners Metro outside hitter JessyRoy collâ&#x201A;Źctsone of her ll kills as the defeat Westâ&#x201A;Źrn State 3-0 Fridoy, Oct. l0 at theAurarir Events Center. Roy leodsthe tesm with 4.44 kills per game.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference is nearing its final three weeks of games, and the Roadrunnersare looking forward to playing teams like Fort Hays State and NebraskaKeamey at home, says Debbie Hendricks, head coach.

The RMAC is divided into three parts: All the teams in the Eastem Division play against each other, the Eastem Division plays the \Vestem Division. and then the Eastem Division teams play each other again. Hendricks says Metro's division, the Eastem, is the stronger of the two.

"We still have a lot of volleyball Ieft and a lot of improvement to see," says Hendricks, trying not to get the team aheadofthemselves.

The teams in the Eastem Division altemate home and away games. Hendricks feels the team will have more of an advantage playing top teams like Fort Hays State and NebraskaKeamey on Metro turf. payback time," says freshman "lt's outside hitter Stefanie Allison about playing Nebraska-Keameyat home Nov. 7. "We're not intimidated." Allison, like most of the players, is confrdent about the team's defense play and ball control.

Aside from a home-game advantage, everyone on the team has her own role, which hold the team together; there is no single best player or leader "We really don't have any stand-alone players.. .it's nice from that standpoint that we really need everyone on this team," Hendricks said.

"They have to play their role and they have to be "on" in that role for us to really be clicking on all cylinders."

The Roadrunnersversus the Westem S"tate Mountaineers,last Friday, was the ninth game of the RMAC. Hendricks saysthe team is steadier and more cohesivethan in their first game ofthe conference,however, the team had "at least as much confidence" then as they do now.

"We've had several weeks to work through the highs and [ows," Hendricks said. "This is more of an eamed confidence."

The Roadrunners won both games last weekend. The scores are as follows: Metro versus Westem State. 3-0: and Metro versus Mesa State Mavericks, 3-0. The Roadrunners have won the lasi six gamesin a row.

Metro's next two games come against the Adams State Grizzlies (12-6, 6-4 RMAC) at 7 p.m., Oct. 16., and against the Fort Lewis Skylarks(7-l l, 2-8, RMAC) at 7 p.m., Oct. 17.

Both samesare at the Auraria Events Center.

Fansimpactperfonnance,ability If I could use only one word to describe Metro's volleyball team, while at the sametime avoiding some more prominent sports clich6s (such as winners or losers, strong or weak), it

wouldbe "devoted."

They are devoted to* staying on top and bringing home the conference title.

The coaches have implemented a zerotolerance policy when it comesto losing. The players do not make up excusesabout poor StephenShultz defense. The team takes Sports ReDortel it very seriouslywhenthey lose a game, but they do not dwell on the fact or let it keep them down.

The Roadrunners are devoted to giving the best performance they can, winning and losing regardless.The team brings everything

they have to the court with them. at least in the RVAC games. The players are very dramatic about preventing the ball from hitting their side of the court, and they avoid this like the plague. Whatever you want to call it - be it teamwork, confidence, or strength - the team definitely has some unifying thread holding them tbgether.

Where most teamsget hyped up by mentally envisioning their opponents as weak, the Roadrunners'determination is fed by their own weaknessesand dounfalls.

The areas where they perform poorly one weekendare given tlr'ice the effort the following week.

The senior playdrs have a job building confidence belween themselvesand the newer players, and their confidence level can be wimessedon the court.

The Roadrunners are devoted to coming in first in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Now, I'm not what you'd call a sports in sports. I don't think our collegesportsare enthusiast: in fact. I had no interest at all in advertisedas fully as they could be. For most sports in general until I started reporting on universities,sports is everything.There has them this year got to be way to increaseaudiencesfor these I have never been involved with sports, games. aside from high school wrestling for one year I have always wondered if shouting and the occasional one-mile run in gym class. and cheeringfrom (he fans really does have The first time I had ever been to a volleyball a psychological impact on the players' game *'as only a month ago, but the question is performance. this: If the volleyball team rs so devoted to their Ifthis werethecase,it couldn'thurtMetro's purpose.why aren't the fans? volleyball team to encouragemore peopleto games The fans I see at the are mostly games.

With this in mind, I leave readerswith popular, stereotypically. I know I would never have been seen at a sporting event, let alone this last question:How much impactcan fans really have on a team's determinationand volleyball, until reporting openedmy eyes to it.

The truth is, you are not going to play brilliandy thmugh the whole season.

We have played two good teams, West Texas A&M and previously topranked They were the best teams Nebraska-Omaha. we have played this season,but compleGly different.

The game againstWest TexasA&M was a rough game. It was very physical and the refereecalleda lot of free kicks. it was the total Against Nebr?ska-Omaha, opposite. I guess you could say that was a physical game too, but fair.

to scoretle go-aheadgoal, her llth goal of the season.

Metro Head CoachDanny Sanchezsaid he wasn't too worried about trailing going into the half. He saidthat €achgameis a battlethat lasts 90 minutes. Sanchezsaid his teamjust needed to take advantageof one of the scoringchances they had in the game.

Sanchezgave a lot of sredit to Guante's efforts. ., . "Ym played go .odon tle plark and got ..trro good assists,' Sancbezsaid-"Thst was the' key to the game."

Someplayersthink it's a part of the game, but I disagree.I think a team can only be as good as their composure,and if you lose it you're in trouble.

WestTexasA&M lost it.

After Meisha Pyke scored our gamewinning goal 15 minutesinto the secondhalf, their playerc seernedto focus more on talking hashto usthanon playingsoccer All of a suddenit was a verbal game as well.

Some of the things they said were so obscenethey can't be printed in this paper,but somethings were actually pretty clever - so clever we could laugh at them when the game wasover.

The important thing to do when you face a team like this is not let yourself get sucked into talking trashaswell. It's easyto say,but in realiryveryhardto do.

If you are winnfug 61d get to hear all this hashyoujust want to saysomethingsmartback at them.

Or at least remind them of the fact that you areup andthey aredown. Believeme, I'm usually greatat thisWith Nebraska-Omahait was completely different. Even though they hadnl faced a

shutout since the 2001 seasonand they were 9-0 beforewe playedtherq they still kept their composureandcontinuedto play soccerat their highestpossiblelwel. . We tied them 0-0, but it wasn't heaf,tbreaking. Going to Omaha to play the No. I rankedteam in the nation was not an easy thing to do, but we managedto play an even game.However,asCoachDannySanchezsays, 'There's alwaysroom for improvement."

WestTexasconcenhatedmore on us than did its own game,while Nebraska-Omaha on opposiie. the Looking backat lastyear,WestTexasA&M made it to the regional finals while NebraskaOmahamade it to the championshipgame-I wouldn't be surprisedif that happensthis year 'as well.

To us, thesegamesare a reminderthat we needto focuson ourselvesand not carcabout otherteams,no matterhow frushatedwe get.

If we do this and continueto play well, I feel we have a good chanceto play NebraskaOmahaone more time this season.Only .this time it will be in Decemberat Virginia Beach for the championship,and we. had better win this time.

Leichliter was happy to have the winning MesaState(ll-2-1,7-l RMAC) on Friday,and goal but remainedhumbleaboutit. at Fort Lewis (4-8-1, 2-5-l RMAC) on Sunday. " I just did what neededto do done," she said.
