Woodson, meanwhile, is planning to appeal the SGA s decision on her removal. She will be taking her appeal through Student Court. "That's great. She's utilizing the Student Court system," Siager said. Singer went on to say that a lot ofhard work has gone into creating the system and making it effective. When asked what she thought of Cordova's appointrnent, Woodson said she believed Cordova was very capable of the position, but said the fact that Cordova was chosen during executive sessionwas "upsetting."

Metro student Mark Pitcher is the Colorado distributor for an environmentallv saft fuel reformulator called Ethos. The tasleless,odorlessproduct is sold for $ 12.95a pint and treats l6O gallons of fuel. Customerspour one ounce of Ethos into their gas tanks for every ten gallons of fuel. The product helps eliminate unbumed fuel, which is the causeof the nitrogen oxide that exits tailpipes in the form of a black cloud. Nitrogen oxide enters and pollutes the atmosphere. The product was featured by "Trouble Shooter" Tom Martino and received "fame" on the Fox 3l news segment "Fame or Shame," becauseof its ability to reduce automobile emissionsby 50 percent or more. "Our company's main purposeis to help the environment." Pitcher said. Ethos was crcated by two chemical engineering majors at Stanford University. Pitcher was introduced to the product by his brother Mark, who invested in the product and spent three years helping to test its possible benefits. When the marketing of Ethos began, Pitcher becamethe Colorado distributor. Ethos has also bâ&#x201A;Źen proven to lengthen engine life, clean fuel systems,improve engine combustion and increase fuel mileage up to 19 percent. "l have seen a major increasein gas mileage," one customer wrote after using Ethos. The product, which can be used in diesel or gasolineengines,is usedby public transportation services in China and Thailand to reducepollution. "l have never had a single customer complaint." Pitcher said. PitcherenleredMetro as an engineering major, but by the end of the year he hopesto graduatewith a marketing degree. Pitcher credits Metro's faculty with giving him rhe inspiration and knowledge that he used to market a product which he believes can aid in the protection of the enYironment. "l would never be in this situationif it wasn't lor my professors,"he saicEthos is sold at the Southwest Plaza Mall: Florida Market at 4393 W. Florida St.l and Juicy Stopat 893 S.

Student journalists lose lawsuit by JonahHeideman TheMefropolilan A judge has ruled in favor of Vetro in a larvsuit brought against the collcge by three Metro students. Lindsay Sandham. Danny Holland, and Noelle Leavitt filed suit against Metro when judicial officials refused to allow them to attend the suspensionhearing of former SGA President Brotha Seku last March. Presiding Judge Herbert Stem Ill ruled in favor of the defendants Oct. Z, ^t the city and county of Denver's district court. According to Stem's decision, "the college
favors (and policies permit) private hearings,on the basis that the processis more effcctive rvhen conductedin private." "The decision is self-explanatory," Metro GeneralCounselLee Combs said. Combs was not involved in the case, as Metro was representedby the Attomey General's ofice. The plaintiffs are curently undecidedabout whether to appealthe decision. "There should be a decision about what they're going to do next by the end oflhe week." the plaintiffs' lawyer Eileen Kiernan-Johnson, said. Colorado's open meeting laws require meetings that discuss public businessto be open to
the public, but according to the ruling, the Judicial Board is not a public body and therefore exempt from the open meetings laws. The recent hearing, r'hich resulted in the removal of Seku's successor. Felicia Woodson, rvasalsoheld in executivesessionand closedto the press. Seku'shearing,which the plaintiffsclaimed they should have had accessto, r,r'asheld in executive session;therefore, only those participating in the hearing were allowed to attend. Seku had given uritten consentfor the press to be presentat the meeting, but judicial officer Elyse Yamauchi ordered the three studentjournalists from The Metrcoolitan loleave.
Campus police removed them after they refusedto do so. The students filed suit against Yamauchi, Sandra Haynes and the judicial board soon thereafter They claimed that the state's open meetings act had been violated and were seeking a declaration stating that the defendantshad violated the act, as well as an injunction from the court requiring the defendantsto comply with the law. The larv firm Faegreand Bensonrepresented the studentsoro bono.

Ifthis gentleman knows"the truth" sign me up, but I'm certainthis ''truth" is simply a belief. Panisanshipis as irrational as any belief simply becauseit is a belief.

US duplicity toward the Kurds byEnkWesner GU6tColwnnist When PresidentGeorgeW. Bush was making his so-calledcasefor war againstIraq, there was a lot of talk aboutthe Kurds and the repression that they had facedat the handsof Saddam Hussein.SuddenlyKurdistan was an everyday term and the Kurds were an oppressedpeople that we intendedto liberate.Unfortunately,with a United Slatesvictory in Iraq, the Kurds have beenforgotten... yet again. Contrary to what the Presidentwould have you believe, the Kurds have never been our friendsor allies,and their oppressionneverreally concemedthe StateDepartrnent.To begin with, perhapsthe mostpowerful Kurdish group, the PKK (Kurdistan Worken' Party), has been since its foundingin 1978,a Marxist-Leninist organization.When it beganits armeduprising in 1984,we werelessthanpleasedno1only be-

Because Kurdish independence would weakenTurkey, the US has not favored Kurdish independence. Additionally, when tlle Shah of Iran was overthrownby Islamic fundamentalistsin 1979, the United Stateswas in trouble.

I knew that SaddamHusseinwas an evil ruler who neededto be removed;howeverone of the reasonspresidentBushgavefor goingto war wassopersonalthatit threwme off. Bush, in one of his war speeches said,"He (Saddam) aied to kill my father." Okay,is this a family war or what? Although we are yet to find any weaponsof massdestructionin a country slightly morethan twice the size of ldaho, removing Saddamis a good humanitarianserviceto the peopleof Iraq and the world at large. SaddamHussein is a human WMD that has been removed from power so he does not pose threat to his people, neighbors, and the world. Now the countriesof the world should let bygonesbe bygones,they shouldrally, come togetherand help the war-torn kaq back on its
It is good that the whole world agreedon onething- SaddamHusseinis evil and should be removedfrom power for the sakeof peace, but disagree on whichway is bestto use.A man men who defiedall oddsandsenthis defenseless in armsway,the welfareofhis troopshasnever beena priority. His machineswere like soda canson a busyroadwaitingto beflattened,still, heneverlistenedto thevoiceofreason. Kudos to the Senatefor finding the strength andcourageto approvethe president'sproposed $87 billion for Iraq andAfghansitanreconstruction it showsthat American attitude is not lhat we did it we like it, andsowhat,but I want to tip my hat and take a bow for Mr. Presidentfor his courageunder fire. He statedhis caseand won theoppositions to his side. In the Oct. 9 isate of TheMetropolitan, columnist Bryan Goodlandwas worried about the big bully imagethattheUnitedStaieshasacross the worl4 and the not yet found WMD in lraq. He, however,snggestedthat "We (America)still have a chanceto makethings right in lraq, and hopefully during fte rebuilding of this country
we can influencethem with somethingother might." thanour overwhelming Well, I have news for you, the initiator of the wholething is readyto rebuild. Not only is he committingtroopsandmoneyto ensureIraq stability,he is going aroundthe world to rally support for the new lraq. His effort is being rewardedas a countryhaspledged$1.5billion towards the reconstructionof Iraq and a few othernationspromisesendin hoopsto helpthe coalition force. ' is not The job of the commander-in-chief easy.He faced terror, and horror without, he faced pressureand criticism within. Imagine the job of the president:He stood againstthe Frenchand Germans.rvithstoodthe Democrats andcriticism at homeandstoodout at the United Nations. The presidentput money,reputationand his careeron the line, most importantly committed US troopsto the war, a decisionhe would have to live with for the restofhis life. I musttell you it is not easyto be GeorgeW. Bushright now. No one said being the leader of the most
powerful nation in the rvorld would be easy anyway,so let'sjust say it comeswith the territory. The president,againstall odds,took out Saddam,what his father tried hard to achieve and the Clinton Administration did not make a priority. With few hits, few missesand just enoughcollateral damage,the evil dictator was toppled. It takes a real man to defend what he believes. Now that the gooddeedhasbeendone, now that the extentofdamageis clear,the president is not going to dodgethe responsibilityof rebuilding. Bushknowshe canneveraskfor too much to keep our troopsfrom going to lraq for the third time. Doing what we could now so as not to takewar to Iraq againis priceless. I would say it is clear to me that President Bush'seffort is all adoaboutsomething. DareDaramola

LeavingTikrit Oct. 3 - Today was my last shift at the D-Main. My buddy "V', whom you've heard so much about, has gone to the real infantry unit. I hopehe lives. The room seemsquiet and somewhat subdued without him. My other two companions know I'm leaving so they are inadvertently distancing themselves fiom me. I can't say I blame them, I'd be doing the same thing. Makes it easier to say goodbye that way. I will probably never see any ofthem again. But thaCshow it is so often in the military. You're forced into groups and have no choice but to get along with the people you encormter there, then yoi, leuu" it all behind one day and go your own way, either to another group of the military's chobsing or your own. I wonder if that's how it is in real life? Real life... that's scary. I've beena productof the military for so damn long, I don't even know what that is. I guess it's time I found out, I've heardit's nice. Oct. 4 - Two nights ago there was a storm, the first I remember having witnessed in this country. Lightning like I have never seen ricocheted arormd the foggy heavensof this place, white-onblack all along the horizon. The moming brought a cloud of dust thick enough to make us choke even inside, and the wind wouldn't allow the heavy doors to stay closâ&#x201A;Źd. Now I think back to my life before, and it seem so long ago; those days so far a*zy, when I knew nothing of war. Gone now, into memory's dark abyss, never to rehm uncomrpted by vanity or ego. I only hope that these reflections here can gain me the courage to live each moment to its fullest, so that if i regret, it is the things I have .done, not those I never did. ll20 hours: Mortars, close. I went outside but saw nothing. Damn. 02ll hours: More mortars. The kaqis must know I'm leaving soon. Oct. 6- Shavedupstairs. Water was working fine rmtil I went to wash off my face, then it crapped out. Last night I was awakened by some sort of hellacious artillery barrage. My windows shook and I could hear both incoming and outgoing fires for a period lasting longer than any I've heard to daie. Also, I'm startingto seean increasingamount of uncscorted Iraqi civiliirns walking around the comoound. That makes me nervous.
Oct. 10 -The hip to fteedom. Loadedonto a big assarget ... I meantruck, like cattle. We
made a short (roughly an hour and a half) trip to the airfield in Balad There, I was processed and sent to a waiting area. I'm here waiting for a briefingat l0:l5,andit'sonly 10:34... hmmmm. Lots ofsoldiers. Not enoughroonr, as usual. I am under an overheadshelter.but at 1100hours I feel as though I'm sitting in direct srmlight at noon. Saw a private with very noticeablefacial hair, which is a violation ofArmy Regulationsbut I didn't say anlthing. It's jusl one more example of the discipline breakdown. I stood on hot blacktop for two houn for my flight to Quwait aboarda C-17 "Globe Mastet'', a plane somewhatlarger than a C-130 Hercules. I u'ould have waited a lifetrme for the trip. Not only becauseit rvas my flight home, but also for the flm of the "tactical take-off''râ&#x201A;Ź got to experience. Normally, an aircraft of that size lifts off and climbs steadilyto its cruising altitude,all smooth and pretty like. This is not the case when you have to worry about surface-tG.airmissile fire. The plane (large enough to fit several M-1 tanks in) took off and leveled off quickly at only 400 feet, giving the pilot time to steady the thing. Then came the fun. The pilot banked so sharply the world itselftilted and then shot straight up, causing my head t0 be sucked into my chest ald the vertical hold in my eyes to come loose as my vision blurred and I almost passed out. I was ecstatic! I have never been happier; roller coasters will never be the same. During all my joy, and the plane's maneuvering, an apple someonehad storved away for the tnp came loose.and flew throughout the cargo hold. smashinghereand there. Amazurgly, it didn't hit anyone. I caught it and thought about eating it but it was badly disfigured, so I just tossed
it in the trash. Nou' we're in Quwait and it's chow time. Oct. ll - Found out that I will be leaving tomorro',q 10 days ahead of schedule. Rock onl One thing is odd. The Porta-Johnshere aren't an open page for light-hearted jokes like I'm used to. They are a veritable battleground between the Army, Marines, and-soldiersgetting out Qike me)! Here are two of the less horrible ones: "l have seen monkeys in the zoo have more organizedshit battlesthan this-3lD" "Want to know how to dow:rsize the military? Keep sendingsoldiersto Tik-rit." That's it for now; my nose has started bleeding. That makesme soocohappy!! Oct. 12- We have beganthe descentinto that dark tunnel that headsus home. That long path all men tread though seldom understand. The tension is of the sort that causesyour stomach to be upset and your vision to ache, stressesyou didn't know you had disturb you and all you want is to be left alone. For a man, it's the closestwe'll probably ever come to PMS. l'm going to stop here before t ramble too far into the past. Of my retum flight I will say this: it was, without a doubt, the most disturbing experienceofmy life. 1 .lf,lre eventsthat transpiredwere routine, and noi 6verly ta\ing. yet it was the very emotions experienced in that small l8-hour rvindow that causeme to say this. Fint and foremost was the fact that I was retuming home to my wife, to whom I've only been married since July of 2002. ln all, thanks
to the U.S. Army's needs, I have spent roughly four months with her and not all ofthose pldasant or consecutive. This leads me to the disress of worrying about how much I've changed or been changed, by this war. Have I grown more distant, and if so, will she understand? What will she expect? What can I deliver? The most pitiful thing of it all is that I can't remember how !o act lowards her, how to love her, so to speak.and it causesme gnealpain. Hopefully, I will not drive her away. Coupled with that is the feeling of shame and unease when someone calls me a "hero" or says "thank you.': Hell, I evenhatethe all too familiar "Welcome back!" I get from eleryone. I can't describe the feeling of coming here and being thanked for something you don't see as needing thanks for- It's an uneasy thing, and I'm not overly fond ofir Especiallywhen I know it's sincere and I know that someonewent to some difficulty to say it; like the VFW folks in Bangor, Maine. I will be etemally grateful to them and people like them for their kindness and sacrifice in coming out to shake our hands and welcome us home. For even if it is a welcome I cannot yet feel I deserve, it is touching in a way I can never explain, nor that I will ever forget. So I say now, to those people and to all the men, wome-n and children of the country that I love so much, for giving me hope, for thanking me for doing what I feel is my duty to you and in a place I went to die for you: you have given me something to live for. Thank you. This concludes the series, which can be read in its entirew at wwrv.themetonline.com

Dancing with the Dervishes Annual T[rkish dinner delights and dazzles byTabithaDd TheMetrcpolitan Between Greece and lran lies the country of Turkey, a nation that appearsto have the best featuresolboth Greeceand lran. That is the dazzling, colorful and lively impression the Tu*ish StudentAssociation ofDenver gave during Turkish Night Nov. 1. Many Americans imagine Turkey as a desert, a remote region in a foreign part of the world that is hostile to outsiders.The welcoming atmosphere,colorful fashions and satisfying lbods so generouslysharedat Turkish Night disprove such harsh misconceptions. Turkey representsthe crossroadsof civilization and lies acrossthe '*'orld, a little over 6,000 miles away from Denveq Colo. Ahmet Apaydinius recognizes the challenge of making Turkish culture familiar and accessibleto studentson the Auraria campus-He came to Denver in 1997 to visit his brother and quickly decided to move here. Alrmet has been a member of the Turkish Student Association of Denver (TUSAD) three years of its ten-year existence, and was elected presidenttwo years ago. The seasonal weather of Colorado is very similar to that in Turkey, says Ahmet. The Turkish slideshowdepictedmany skiersenjoyingone ofTurkey's several mouffains over 14,000feet. Ahmet takes Turkish Night very seriously. Last Saturdaywas the third annual Turkish Night at Auraria. He hopes that students"leam how a Muslim country can have democracy, secular system and modem way of living." Turkey enjoys the most advanced women's rights in the Islamic *'orld, and Turkish Night is an occasionlo recognize the anniversary of Turkey becoming a republic. For the third consecutive year, TUSAD has used Turkish Night as an opportunity for students, faculty and staff on campusto learn about Turkish culture. "TUSAD is a non profit student organization, and aims to help Turkish Students rvho comes to study at the Auraria Campus," states Ahmet, who adds that TUSAD works toward increasingfiiendship among cultures. Ahmet and the TUSAD took care to make the event,held in Tivoli Room 320, both entertaining.and informative. The foyer rvas decorated with red with white crescentmoon Turkish flag balloons and lined rvith tables displaying Turkish ceramics, bead work. and jewelry and other Turkish crafts. Some of the delicious items served for dinner included Turkish chicken and vegetablewith rice, ground lamb with potato and tomato, rolled grape leavesfilled with Bulgar grain, and Turkish Shepherd Salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots). Ahmet wanted to have a caterer cook and serve traditional Turkish food for TUSAD's annual event,but was only able to find catererswho could make Middle Eastem food. lnstead,several families came together to create a menu ofTurkish cuisinefor the occasion. A fashion show featuring traditional robes followed dinneq and then a visitor to Twkey spoke of his experience. Phil Jones lived in Turkey for two years. He and his family were sentthere with the military in 1997, and would have loved to stay. "Turkish fast food will make a revolutionary impact if it gets here," Jones predicts. Turkish cuisine is outqtanding-refreshing, fu lfi lling, and flavorful. The texture and color suit the palate. Joneslaughedwith Turks and Turkish-Americans when he reminisced about the dolmush, public transportation that makes a crowded Light

The dolmush is designed to fit 15 people, but anyone *'ho signals that they want to come aboard while the vehicle takes its route is made rvelcome. One ofthe most important phrasesthat Jones leamed to say in Turkish was "Please stop at a safe place," because dolmush drivers will stop anlwhere along their route. An)Trhere.
"lt's not easy to buy a car (in Turkey)," Ahmet, TUSAD presidentsaid earlier. Dance, which has no language barrieq comes easy for the Turkish community. Turkish Night ended by bringing the spirited dancing of the culture to life. Turkish women performed hip shaking that would put Shakira to shame as intense, rapid drum rhythms punctuated the evening.
The raffie gave away Turkish souvenirs like red Turkish flag shirts and'jewelry displaying the evil eye. A traditional symbol of the Turkish people. The evil eye is believed to ward offevil. Turkish Night is a yearly experienceofTurkish culture. With a fashion shor*,severalsFakers and slide shows, a raffie for Turkish souvenirs, and a full traditional Turkish dinner, the occasion is four hours ofTurkish delight.

Metro student's searchfor destin byJonathanKueme TheMenowlinn Two months ago, Stephen Rimmer jumped into the fast lane of college life and began his four-yearjoumey toward a degree. "College is a lot better than high school," Rimmer said. "l feel like I have a lot more freedom and opportunity. I really like Metro a lot too. So far, it's a great school and I really like the people." Rimmer, 18, and a recent high school graduate, lurds himself amidst Metro's 20,000 studentsin the criminal justice and psychology departments. "When I first came to Metro, I wanted to major in criminal justice and maybe someday be a police offrcer, crime scene investigator or detective," Rimmer said. "I'm taking this psychology course. The teacher is doing a greatjob and I think I want to now major in psychology and maybe minor in criminal justice," Rimmer said. fummer originally wanted to be a police officer to help people-,drive a squad car fast with the lights and sirens blaring. and. to eat doughnuts,he said jokingly. "I'd like to help people make lhe right decisions-I think that being a police officer you have a lot of oppomrnity to do that." Besidesconsidering a degreein psychology, fummer's pnmary objective. remains a career as a police offtcer, crime scene investigator, or detective."Although I want to major in psychology, I'm not ruling out criminal justice."

s not a vio byAdamGoldstein TheMenopolinn For BarbaraHamilton-Primus, the decisionto becomea musicianwasinevitable. parly familial encouragement and influencehelpedto map the future of the veteran performer,teacherand communityactivistas a passionate musicalperformerand supplier. As Hamilton-Priinusexplains,a childhoodbrimming with the lones and timbresof different inskumentswasthefirst stepin insuringa continuedandsustained dedicationto music "When I was growing up, every single memberof my familyplayedan instrument, and it wasn't (a questionof) are you going to play (but rather),what instrumentare you going to play?" At the ageof 20, sheresolvedthis question definitivelywhenshesettledon the viola as her primary instrument From theseauspiciousmusical beginnings,Hamilton-Primus, a graduate of YaleUniversity and a memberof the Metro faculty for eight years,has forged an illustrious and varied careeras a performerand teacher. For the past 10 years,her chambermusic group,the Colorado ChamberPlayers,hasprovided a program of musical diversity and innovationthat has pushedthe boundaries of the traditionalmixed ensemble. Over the past decade,both the Metro music departmentand the Denver community in generalhasbenefitedtremendously from her musical acumen,her dedicationto deepening musicappreciation, and her ties with otherartistsandperformers.WalterL. Barr.chairofthe
music department,spoke of Hamilton-Primus' multi-faceted talenls and how much her numerous links have contributed to the institution. "(She is) a rare combinalionofa wonderful musician and an astute businesswoman,"he said. "She is able to use her connectionsand the resourcesthat are available within the community for the benefit ofour students." In addition. Barr extolled HamiltonPrimus' dedication to diversity in her content choices. For example,he explained that her past program selectionshave included theme-based selections ranging from compositions by Latin American composersto Baioque period pieces, an approach that brings cultural dimensions to her music. This samecommitment to musical breadth is a major element ofher teaching style, as well as flexibility in regard to the varying abilities and goals of her students. In speakingof her expectationsand her methodsin terms ofteaching, Hamilton-Primus emphasizedthat certain standards remain the same,regardlessofthe level of the individual studentor their ultimate aims. "l want (my students)to be the best that they can be and I want them to clarifi pretty early on where they see themselves in music," she said. "What I really enjoy about teaching is helping people discover where their talents lie." Teaching music in any capacity too often involves a dissuading discipline from instructors, a rigidity that may result in a student's abandonmentof the instrument. Although she does not waver in expecting the best from her students, it is clear from th€ir testimony that Hamilton-Primus' flexibility fid skill in assessing individual strcngths has a positive effect.

with Hamilton-Primus from the age of 16, spoke of this quality in her lessons. "(Barbara) adjusts to your goals. If your goal isjust to play the viola, shewould help you do that, but if your goal is to be a professional musician,she'll help you do that.too." Hamilton-Primus'chamberensemble,the Colorado Chamber Players, which consists of I I revolving core members and which regularly featuresprestigious guest players, will be performing an all Brahms program at 2:30 p.m. Nov.l5 in the King Center Recital Hall. The upcoming event features Hamilton-Primus and guest David Levine on violas, Paul Primus and David Waldman on violins, Tamara Goldstein on piano, and guest musician Katherine Knight on c€llo. The roster of musicians for this performance reflects both professional and personal connectionsfor Hamilton-Primus. For example, both her husband and her former teacher from Yale figure among the players. When asked about the effect ofsuch intimate relationshipson the mood among the musicians, she explained that such tight bonds are not uncommon, and indeed are essential,for such an ensemble. "To be able to sit down and play chamber music with people is a very personalthing," she said. "You feel connectednot only to the music but you feel connected (to) each other, and that carries into the audience." Barbrra lkmilton-Primus will be preforming along with David Levine, Paul Primus, David Waldman, Tamara Goldstein and Katherine Knight at I p,m. Monday, Nov. 1 in tlt King Center. The performance is free rnd open to the public.

The duo, comprised of singer/guitaristMaslich and vocalist/guitaristipianist PeterAdams. is a mix of alt-country alt-folk and bluegrass. Even after all the missed calls and messages,Maslich was still gracious enough to answer a few questlons. Met: What was it like to grow up in the South and then to pick up and move to Califomia? Maslich: Maybe I'm biased becauseI feel like where I grew up was kind of a utopian part of the east coast and I felt very *hat's the word, . . . sheltered,I guessyou could say, but in a good way. But, being sheltered also has its bad points, too. You don't really get a lot of worldly culture where I'm from, either. When I moved to Califomia, this is where I really feel like I really grew up. I leamed a lot and I had to leam it pretty fast. I.came here when I was almost 20, and I feel like I had a big culture shock and a big rude awakening when I came here. But it also taught me a lot; it taught me a lot about myself and a lot about life and a lot about people and their culture. But, yeah, I'm

We actually Met: ln the bio, it says that you used to had to go to counseling one time before we sing in hardcore bands before switching to went on the road. I mean, literally, we had bluegrass?

e road to erfection Damien Jurado's music is the perfect soundtrackfor a road trip. A lonesome road trip acrossthe Midwest to attend the funeral of an ex-girlfriend that still haunts your dreams. Spare and dark, this is folk music for goths that outgrew the eyeliner and cartoon menace of Marilyn Manson but could never quite shake the sense of despair. With little more than an acoustic guitar,some piano, organ and his unique. powdrful ioice, Jurado creates indelible imagesand powerful, gripping songs. Jurado describes his music as "story songs." These are stories of desolation, loss, obsession and the aching sorrow of unrequited love. His music conveys a senseofwide-open spacesand introduces the listener to the lost and lonely souls that inhabit them. Jurado opens his heart and pours it into his music in a way that's beautiful and disturbing at the sametime. Ask most artists about their influencesand they'l1 namecheck their musical heroes.Ask Jurado the same question and you get a slightly different response. "Death, boredom, isolation, desperation." Jurado's latest album, "Where Shall You Take Me?," is available now from Secretly Canadian Records.

Teamreceivesbid Tournevinvite finstsince2000 by DonaldSmitlr TheMetrcWlitat\ The Metro men's soccer team did n{o thingson Sundaythat keepits seasonalive. First, Metro extended its streak of being 40-l aftera loss,(SinceSept.l2) and with the 2I victory SundayagainstCU-Colorado Springs, the team advanced to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Toumament. The 1-0 loss on Friday, Oct. 3l came to RMAC leader Colorado Mines "We were disappointed- the whole team," said Antonio Porras. freshman midfielder. "We klew we came out and played a hard game, we knew everyone worked hard and we just couldn't get that one (goal) in the net." "But overall rve felt good knowing that we

had to ll'in or lose." he said.
After a tie with CSU-Pueblo Sunday, Oct. 26, the game started with the Roadrunners needing a win or a Regis loss last Friday to make the playoffs. The team was without two important things last Friday: first, the team had to play without its third leading scorer Zack Cousins, and second they played without heat, as the weather was cold and wet. Metro went onto the field ready to win a playoff birth, but the possible celebration was put on hold in the 42nd minute of play, when Mines'Nick Clausnitzerscoredthe game's only goal before halftime. Metm went into the break still hungry for the equalizer and showed it when the t!r'o retumed to play the final halfofplay.
a shutout victory over the Roadrunnen. Shortly after the game, the team was informed that Regis had won its final game of.the season3-l over Fort Lewis. This meant everything was on the line last Sunday against the CU-Colorado Springs Mountain Lions. "lt's tough; you knou' the whole team fought hard and we came together as a team, I though that was one of the better games we played all year," said AIex Grecu, senior forward. "Things didn't go our rvay and I missed some oppornrnities that I should've put away and others missed some opportunities, so it was a team thing. "As a leam, we played real well and we were disappointed with the result and not the effort," he said. Metro went into Sunday's game knowing they had to win to avoid missing the playoffs

as he scored the game winning goal sixteen minutes into the second half with a blast 19 yards away from the net. "As a team, I think we all just came together," Grecu said. "We were down l-0 and we didn't let it get to us." "We came out in the secondhalf, we knew what he had to do and we came out and did it. We just won the game." he said The t\\'o teamswould continue to battle. but the Roadrunnerscontinued to control the ball and it would pay off as Metro's seasonwould continuewith the win. " It feels good (to make the toumament)," Cousins said. "lt is my first time in it (the toumament)." "lt was pretty much what we wanted to do. We weren't even close last year to the conferencetoumament. Here we are, we are a young team and it is good experience for us," he said.
