by DanaJ. Parkerand N.S.Garcia TheMetropolitan
lnsurance,votlng by N.S.Garcia ThelVetropolitan Reform Party candidate Ralph Nader said there is too much corporate power in politics, which has causedseveralissuesto be ignored by the two mainstream American political parties. "They have sold the trust of the American people for the commercial dollar," Nader told reporters prior to a speech at the Flatirons Theater in Boulder. Nader, who will be on the Nov. 2 presidential ballot after a legal banle rvith Colorado Democrats, suing for him to be removed, spoke in Boulder, Denver, and Pueblo on Saturday, Sept.18. Democrats said because Nader had not been affiliated with the Reform party for more than a year,he could not run under the party's nomination. However, Nader responded by saying the Democrats missed the deadline to file a complaint. Nader, who ran in the 2000 election as the Green Party candidate, thanked his lawyers and 'helped the people of Colorado who beat back the forces of darkness" that attempted to keep him off the ballot. He said he knows his chances of winning are slim. However, he said third parties must continue to be an agent of change. He alluded to the Abolitionist and Women's Suftage Parties. "In this election we hope to push the two parties to recognize they represent the people," he said. He also critiqued the Republicans who, he said, have become masters of preventing people ftom voting. "They are denying the voters a choicei he said. "In greed, they are re-districting our country that votes only one way, When you dont have selection there is no election," Nader spoke out against President Bush, saying Bush is the worst president of the 21st
century. 'He isrunningonaplatformof lies.Iraqhas nothing to offer the American people except a never- ending quagmire." About 400 people attended the Boulder evâ&#x201A;Źnt In the latest Rocky Mountain NewslNews 4 poll, Bush and Kerry are tied in Colorado, according to statisticsbasedon a sample of 500 registered voters. Of those polled, 45 percent of Coloradoans would vote for Bush while 44 percent would vote for Kerry. Three percent said they would vote for Nader. When asked if he thinks his supporters should vote for Kerry in order to get Bush out of office, Nader said voters should vote for whomever they want and they should not settle for the "least worse" candidate. "\!tratt our breaking point with the leastof the worst?"he askedthe audiencr. He said as long as Americans yote that $'ay, he guaranteesbolh parties rvill get worse.

Those issuesinclude health care, jobs with a livable wage, the rising death toll and money spent in Iraq, the possibility of a military draft, the failed war on drugs and higher education costs. He said he wants to provide univerml health care for all Americans. America is the only westem democracy that has not created a similar plan and both Bush and Kerry have ignored this problem becausehealth insurance providers are contributors to their campaigns, he said. Bush has said little if anything about an increase in the minimum wage, while Kerry suggests a $7 wage by 2007. However, this isn t enough, Nader said. He would provide help via tax relief to smaller businessand those who keep jobs in America. He said he wants America out of Iraq in three months and has a three-stepprocessin mind.

He also commented that he would seek the legalization and regulation of some drugs such asmarijuana. More counselingis neededto help drug addicts insteadof prison time, he said. Fewer American teens are attending college becauseof the rising costs and higher education needs to be free like public K-12 education is, he said. He said he would also cut those departments and programs, Iike weapons development, that are not producing any good for America.

Fresh from last spring's successfulinitiative to subsidizethe use of renewableenergy on the Auraria campus, Metro State Active Voices for the Environment outlined its plans for achieving more of its environmental mission this semester at their first meeting Wednesday,Sept. 15. MSAVE is a student organization dedicated to saving the environment through activism. A project of EnviroCitizen, MSAVE is a national, nonpartisan,nonprofii organizal.ion. It was founded in 1992by collegestudentswho wanted to increasecilizen participationin protecting the environment. Last year, the group succeededin getting approvalfor a $l per semseterincreasein student feesto support the use of renewableenergy on campus, Currently,the Auraria Campus is investing student fees toward clean energy provided by solar panelsand rvind energy. The University of Colorado has been investing in clean energy since 2000. They were the fust Colorado school to do so. MSAVE members said the Auraria Campus had a $3 million energy biil last year. According to Excel Energy, clean energy costs 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour more than their standard service. This year, MSAVE and EnviroCitizent goals are to support FasTracks,a plan to extend Denver's rapid transit system, and a statewide initiative for renewable energy. Both of these measures will appear on the Nov. 2 ballot. FasTrack would provide a more developed transit system in the Denver region, similar to those found in cities like New York and Washington, D.C. It would include 119 rniles of new light rail and commuter rail, 18 rniles of bus rapid transit service, 21,000 new parking spaces at light rail and bus stations and expanded bus service in all areas. The new lines would include transportation from all the suburbs and West, Southwest, US 36/Longmont, Gold Line, I-225, North Metro, DIA, T-REX, Platte Valley and downtown. Manolo Gonzales-Estay,a spokesperson for Amendment 37, told rhe Associated Press in August that C,olorado will be the first state in the nation to vote on renewable energy and the goup is getting national support. If passed,Amendment 37 would require utility companies with at least 40,000 customers to produce 3 percent of their electricity from renewable energy by 2007, 6 percent by 2011 and l0 percent by 2015. Sevencompaniesir Colorado would be affected. "We want to tell students on this campus that this affects us locally and we can change this locally," said MercedesPollmeier, co-president of MSAVE. One of the ways they plan to make a differenceis by getting more studentsinvolved,which meansgettingstudentsto vote. "There are three parts to getting students to vote. said Ellen Salvador of EnviroCitizen. "Voter registration,voter education, and get out the vote." MSAVE members said too many students drive to school,which causesair pollution from carbon monoxide biproducts. They suggested students start to carpool. It lvould have an immediate positive impact, they said.

SGAre-\Mriting constitution byil.S.Garcia fte Metrooolitan
The National Newspaper Association, which consistsof more than 3,200 community newspapers across the United States,named The Metropolitan the second best collegenewspaperin t}te nation at the organization's annual convention in Denver Friday. fudges complimented the newspaper for its "effective line to campus diversity" 'writing and that the reflects effective reporting:' The Metropolitan was one of hundreds of newspapersat the conyention. The Orion, the stldent newspaper for the Califomia State University at Chico, took first place in generalexcellencein the college division. The Southwestern CollegeSun, the student newspaper of Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Calif., came in third.
CampusDemocraticgroups combine forces The Auraria Young Democrats and the Democrats of Auraria, two sirnilar Democratic groups on campus, merged this past weekendto form one group. The two groups decided it would be better to combine their resourcesby becoming the Democrats of Auraria, said Metro student Nathan Pitman, who was co-presidentof the Auraria Young Democrats and will now be co-president of the new group. "We're going to be able to now take the resources for the two groups and combine those and make them a much larger group in order to further the goals and the beliefsof the collegeDemocrats on campus,"Pitman said. He said his group was planning to focus more on the national election while the Democrats of Auraria were looking to focus more on local issues.He said now those two goals can be achievedtogether. "Some of the goalsare diflerenl," he said,"but we thought that the best way to accomplishthose goalswas for a merger."
Departmentof Education gives Metro $9.5 million The United StatesDepartment of Education has awardedMetro a check for $9.5 miliion as part of a competitive grant.

The Student Government Assembly will use a l4-page document written by former Student 'starting Trustee Harris Singer as a point' for their new constitution, which Metro students will be able to vote on in November. Candice Gill, the SGA president, said the current constitution is too vague and conflicts \nriththe current policy manual SGA uses.Gill said along with re-writing the constitution, the SGA. which is currentlv a l3-member committee, could be re-organized to form a more traditional check-and-balances type government body. "It's like Swisscheese,"Gill said assheflipped through the current seven-pagedocument. Beth ott, SGA vice president of Communications, said the policy manual and constilution have left out significant instructions on how to handle situations such as having a majority vote, filling vacant positions and hierarchy. Dennis Bergquist, vice president of Administration and Finance said the SGAs constitution and organization is very unique and outdated compared to other colleges and universities. 'There is no separation of powers," Bergquistsaid. He pointed out that unlike other colleges that have various branches such as legislative and executive,the SGA is a single-body organization. Problems have risen in the past two SGA cabinets concerning the removal of office for presidential appointees, vice presidents and the
president. "There is no fail-safe mechanism for removal," Bergquist said. Gill said she agrees. 'The constitution does not match the bylaws," she said. "There is no separation of powers and there are issuesof structure and internal issueswe have to deal with." She said the new constitution will hopefully allow more studentsto be involved. 'We d like to see more representatiyes and involvement,"she said. She said a new constitution benefits the students becauseit will allow the SGA to better representstudentsand their concerns. "The constitution is the foundation that the SGA can stand on and operate fromj' she said. "So if they can effectively operate, they cal better representstudents. "Students have a role in how the college works and if the polices in place don't work, then how are you supposedto be effective as a body?" Gill said. Student Tiustee Stephen Hay will chair the committee re-writing the constitution. The committee will also include Gill, Bergquist, SGA Vice President of Diversity Marziya Kaka, Chief |ustice Tyler Murphy, interim AssociateDean of Student Life Yolanda Orega-Erikson and Student Activities Director Zav Dadabhoy. Singer will also serve on the committee. He offered to co-chair at last Thursdayt SGA meeting. However,Gill said she wants onl.yone chair and that the person should be an SGA member. Hay said he's looking for Metro students outsideof SGA for input. Thereis no maximum number of volunteers.
LaDonna Garcia, SGA vice presidentof Student Services. said she wants to seeweekly rePorTs. Two ideas for how to re-organize the student government are to make it a three-branch government similar to that of the federal government or to make it more like a corporate organization with a CEO. Either plan would include more students, Hay said. Hay explained that he and the committee will work inside the current SGA budget to determine a pay-scale. Gill said she may request more funds from administration depending on how the structure works after the vote. "We want a more conventional constitution," Bergquist said. Hay also criticized the constitution for its lack of detail. 'It's vague in every way, it doesn't empower anybody,"he said. Gill said she wants the whole support of the SGA. She said one reasonthe document they're working from never moved past the draft stages was becauseit was a "one-man mission." Gill said the Constitution Committee will work on drafts until Oct. 2l when she plans to call for a vote from the committee on the final document. She said a two-thirds approval must come from the SGA voting members.Shesaid the new constitution would be up to student vote Nov. 8. The voting would be online. Gill said she believes it\ important SGA

of rape Studentsraiseawareness tl{ullad byClayton TheMetroDolitan As dusk settledon theAuraria campus,more than 50 people came together Friday,Sept. 17 to decry rape and the society that supports it. Organized by the Metro student protest organization Creative Resistancearea on campus, the "Take Back the Night" event held at the Flagpole sought to raise issuesabout rape, especiallvin light of eventsthat have taken precedencein the local media in the past year. Metro student Zoe Williams. who was the main organizer ofthe event,stressedthat rape is not just an individual crime againsta person. "Rape is not an individual act of hate," Williams said. "It is a systematicallysupported crime againsthumanity and it is a form of gender persecution," "Take Back the Night" eventsfirst started in the United Statesin 1978in an attempt to bring local communities together to raiseawarenessof violence againstwomen and children. A group of more than 30 students, community members and local activiststook to the streetsin a march up and down the 16th Street Mall. During the march, protesters chanted messagessuch as,"Whatever we wear, rvherever we go, yesmeans yes,no means no." But the protestersdidn't carry signs stating the purpose of the march, which causedconi sion among bystanders. "\'Vhat are they saying?" asked one woman walking down l6th Street. One man yelled at the procession, "Four more years," whi.le another woman questioned the reasonfor the rally. "You need a rally against rape becauseit is too common and itl condoned by society,"said Creative Resistancemember Denice DorchakOchola. "The idea that a girl can't wear a short skirt without fearing being raped is ridiculous."
Photicby TaraPearce/The Meuopolitan perform Back the Night" rally Friday,Sept 17. at the "Take The Singin'Grannies 'Take Williams said Back the Night" marches are more for empowering women to feel safe to go out into the night and take back their rights. Iosh Devitt, a 24-year-old local activist who participated in the march, said the rally was mostly for the people who were a part of it. "I alwals seemarchesas more for the participants than (for) making changei Devitt said. He said he felt compelled to come and speak out against a culture that produces rapists and lets them off easily. "fu a male, I maybe don't have as much right to be here,"he said, "but I feel I should be out here to abolish this culture." In a speech before the march, Williams
demanded for an end to a system that systematically supports rapists and violates the rights of rape victims. 'We must dismantle this system," she said. "Safety and autonomy are our right and it's not something you ask for. It's something we demand and we will take back." She also gave examples of living in a rape state, referring to the caseof Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant, in which he was accusedof raping a l9-year-old Eaglewoman last summer. The criminal case was dismissed earlier this month. "We saw that womant sexual history used against her, for making legitimate sexual deci-

SGA: Former president offers adviceon writing continuedfiorn page5 meet the timeline. She said she doesn't think it would be fair to the students or the next SGA administration if the constitution was ratified in the spring. Megan Reyes,who was president of SGA in the 1994-1995academic year, told the current SGA in their meeting Sept. 9 of the problems her cabinet faced in forming a new constitution while she was president. 'lV'e were trying to 6x and tweak something 'Sometirnes in place," Reyes said. that's a good idea: sometimes itt nod' Shesaid one of the most important things is
that SGA builds credibilitf with the administration and the students"lfyou lack credibility, I don't care what you draft," she said,"You have nothing. You eam it." She said while the role of the SGA is to represent the students' needs and issues, it's up to each SGA to determine what that means. "It is for each SGA to define that year what 'represent'means," shesaid."This (SGA) is really more serious becauseyou have a serious body." Gill said she appreciated Reyes'advice. "I was glad to see a(n).,. alum come to the meeting to expressher passion," Gill said. Reyes said the challenge for SGA to form this new constitution will be time. She said it took her cabinet several months and several rewrites to form a solid document. "If itt done right, it's got to be thoughtful," she said.

to soldiersIn lraq MSAVE:says Kerry:Sendsrxessage
peopleshould carpool
mntinued fiom corler Kerry said about the war in lraq. "W standsfor wrong." Co-president of the Auraria Young Democrats Nathan Pitman, who attended Kerry's speech,said he believes Kerry is right about the war in Iraq. "From what I hear,he (Kerry) is working on a detailedplan of how we're going to get out of there,"he said. Kerry had a special messagefor those currently serving in lraq. "I know what it's like to fight when there are questions swirling at home," he said. In Vietnam, he said, "we confused the war with the warriors. We're not going to let that happen again." According to Pitman, at the Bush rally three days prior, security kicked out Kerry supporters. He said no one at the Kerry speech was askedto leave,not wen those holding pro-Bush signs. For him, that drove home the difference betweenthe two parties. "For me, I think they (the Kerry campaign) 'it's said a free country, pleasestay and maybe we'll changeyour mind,"'Pitman said."I dislike Bush; I think anyone,including a blind monkey, could do a better iob." Pitman also said the Auraria Young Democrats are really focusing their efforts on getting young people to the polls and registered to vote. But after the deadline for registration Oct. 4, they will start focusing more on educatirg people about the candidatesand the issues in this election. The UCD student government is sponsoring a "Voter AwarenessDay" at the Flagpole Oct. 25, Pitman said. He added that they are trying to set up a debate for the event between the Auraria College Republicans and the Auraria Young Democrats. Kerry thanked the attendeesfor their warm "welcome home" (he was born at Fitzsimmons fumy hospital in Aurora) and said the visit was due to the thoughtfi:lnessand creativity of one of the high school'steachers. Matt Bergles,a history and civics teacher at Rangerriew' said he told his students at the beginning of the year that this is aa exciting time to be studying civics and that he would do his best to get both candidates to come and talk to them. He said he woke up on the morning ofSept14 and realized President Bush was in town and Kerry was scheduled to visit Friday. He tried to call the Bush campaign to invite the president to speak,but was unable to get through, he mid. "A lot of Americans are having trouble getting through to the president,"Kerry said. Bergles said he called and invited Kerry to appear at Rangeview, thinking the campaign would politely refuse, but the campaign was coincidentally looking for a high school at which to appear. "By Wednesday,the Secret Service ryas here and we were setting up for the national press," Berglessaid. Bergles,who is alsoa University of Colorado student and has completed coursework for a doctorate in public administration, said he's been deluged with thank-yous since the event. He also said they're still discussingKerry's visit in his civics and history classesat Rangeview. After Kerry spoke for an hour, he opened the floor up for questions. The crowd mainly consistedof Kerry supporters, therefore hard questionswere not easy to find. Most audiencemembers deliveredwords of encouragement. "Back in the 60s,there used to be a saying, 'Ask what vou can do for your countryi'said one man, "What you can do for your country is win the oresidencv."

This is the first of many articles you rvill see here tn The Metropolinn this year regarding our Board of Trustees.Keep an eye out for these as they rvill appear regularly and provide a wealth of information and insight about the inner workings of our college. A goal of mine this year lr.ill be to provide more information about the Board to my fellow students. I will do this in Stephen Hay __;-+:=:=l_ pan by writing articlesthe Stude1tlfustee week afler every Board of Tiustees meeting. The following is a highlighted version of the Board of Trustees meetings on Sept.8. The Finance Committee is working to prepare the school's budget in anticipation of the predicted cuts higher education will take agin next year. Short of any changesto the Taxpayer's Bi[ of Rights, Amendment 23 or the securitization of funds from the state tobacco setdernent, higher education will likely suffer another round of budgetary reductions. The Finance Committee is and will continue to work diligendy to prepare for this and minimize the impaa. One of the agenda items was to approve the concept of Program Feesbased on the recommendation of the Finance Committee. A task force will work in the coming months on implementing this concept in a fair manner. The program fee will replace the current course fee syst€m. Next was the approval of personnel appointments made over the summer. These included the promotion of twelve assistantprofessors and one professor, the hiring of eight administrators, and one facuity coordinator. A discussion on this topic requested that grading information be included on the information sheetsthe Board members receive about each faculty member priror to approval This is so the grading tendencies of hculty may be weighed with the student evaluation scores presented on the information sheets. The last agenda item was an informational presentation about one of the challenges the college faces regarding traditional age applicants. Students entering Metro with low CCHE admissions index scores have difficulty making it through their first year. A task force has been dereloped by the president to evaluate ways the college can help ensure that students who come to Metro succeedat Metro. If you have questions or seekmore information, pleasecontact me by phone at (303)556-2797 or by e-mail at mscd-student-trustee@mscd.edu
As a regular aphaeresis donor, I have had plenty of needle poking in my time. Aphaeresis is a method by which only certain components are taken from the blood- The process takes two needles, one to take the blood before whatever product they need is spun out of iti the other to retum the blood once the machine takes what it needs. I have more track-marks than Keith Richards and I can tell you that I have never passedout, puked or, obviousl,v,died fiom this procedure.Not once. Which is why I can, with a clear conscious, urge you to donate on Thursday.For one thing, they only use one needle for whole blood donations, for another----and this is key-they feed you Iiee snacks after you've donated. Plus, the folk at Bonfils are very nice and their needlesare very very sharp. So sharp in fact, you will barely feel it go in. And I'm not telling you this like a
'this doctor who says will just hurt a little;' I m telling you becauseitt true, and the reason most people say they don't donate is because they're afraid of needles. Donl be; I'm the biggest wuss on the planet when it comes to pain and I do the two-needle thing about once every two weels. Bonfils needs to collect 4,200 units of blood each week to fulfill patient needs, so stop into the North Classroom Atrium areasC & D today between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome,or resen€ a time by callingCorrie Santosat 303-556-6791.Donations take lessthan an hour. so take a deep breath, imagine yourself needing blood and not having it immediately available becausethey were one unit short of your blood t)?e, then roll up your sleeve and remember to wiggle your toes and look the other way when they whip out the needle. When it's over you'll feel like a hero.
Well heha!! The opinion piece written by |oel Thgert regarding the Republican National Convention was just, how can I saythis, a good old fashioned heap of cow dung sprinkled with a dash of liberal hatred. Itt so good to know that our liberal friends in general and our zany Socialist anti-capitalists in particular are still without any substantive, inspiring or dare I say (dare, dare) realiqv based ideas regarding how to govern this country. Blissful ignorance is one thing but blaant and childish stupidity is quite another. Let's review...Bushgets sworn in and inherits a recessionfrom...yes democrat Bill Clinton (only our 2nd US president to get impeached). Ah the good ole days.

lan Neligh "The Right Stuff" is more American than gasoline,barbecue,and a battered Stetsonsitting on a rusted Ford ... in Monument Valley... at sunset.This classicpieceof Americana is servedup in a nice sliceof 193minute apple pie from director Philip Kauftnan and writer Tom Wolfe. This blue-jeans-buzz-cutapproach to the American spaceprogram is filled with the stuff legendsare made of and best of all-itt a true story. Chuck Yeagerand Alan Shepard come walking tall across the beautifully filmed landscapeof the cold war like the Greek heroes of antiquity marching off to Troy. From the introduction of the US Mercury 7 astronautsto the final hair-raising flight of the movie, it's clear that the receipt for the space r'ace came fiom recklessbravery to dive blindly into the unknown, coupled with good old-fashioned machismo. Kaufinan learns to blend adrenalineand humor with a story that unfolds like an epic. This was really the first time in a movie we sawthe slow side-by-side march into the cameraand more metaphorically into the future. "The Right Stuff" begins and we seeclips of black and white; this intro givesme goosebumps every time I seeit. A narrator with a strong Texasaccent starts talking over old test-flight clips, some real, others createdfor the movie: "There was a denon that lived in the air. They said.whoeyer challengedhim would die. Their controlswouhl freezeup, their planes would bffit wildly, and they would dbintegrate.The d,emonlived at Mach I on the meteL sevenhundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longermoveout of the way.He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could everpass.They calledit the sound barrier." With this, the film shoots off like a rocket. It was recently screened at Starz,but any excuseto seethis movie, even on television, is a great reasonto go and check it out, especiallyifyou've never seenit before. This is one of the sreas.
Adam Goldstein The first frames of the 1983epic "The Right Stuff" are grainS black and white 50sflight footage.The camerasare silent witnessesto sleekjets speedingthrough the air, and a voice-over explains that the pilots manning thesemissionsare more than simple aviators;they are on a quest to break the sound barrier, restlesshunters forever chasingthe "demon that lives in the thin air." A plane veers,spins, plummets, and crashesto the ground. Vibrant color explodesfiom the flames onto the screenas the sprawling spacedrama takesoff. Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Tom ry\blfe'snovel documents the infancy ofthe American spaceprogram and its star players,Iiom Chuck Yeagert early forays past the speed of sound as a test pilot to Leroy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper's22-orbit outer spaceodysseyof 1963.Yet,the film is much more than a simple spacemovie; it is a timeless human drama. lndeed, the film serves more to catalogue the conflicts, joys, and pains of the pilots and their families as thev fearlesslyleap into the unknorvn, as they "push the envelopea little bit more." The characters operate more in an atmosphereof collective Cold War fear than in the reachesof space,a \€ry terrestrial an.rbiencewhere every technological innovation is a raceagainstthe Russians.Kaufman payscareful attention to the woes and worries of the pilots'wives, who live in a constant fear that their husbandswon't come home. Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward, Sam Shepard,and the rest of the cast skillfully blend tough-guy bravado with human pathos and Bill Conti's Oscar-winning scoreincorporatesHolst's "The Planets"and Debussy's"Au Clair de la Lune." 20 _vears after its initial release,the film suffers at times liom dated techniquesand dramatic overkill. Still, "The Right Stuff" remainsa tasteful and fundamentally human look at the technology that changedour understanding of the cosmos.For all its specific historical.contexts and situations, the film standsas an enduring tribute to human fearlessness and the thrill of discoverv.

One last thing... As an aside... Japanese director Thkashi Miiket 200.1film "Gozu" will be opening at Starz FilmCenter on Sept. 24. A word of advice: go see this movie if you do not value your free time, )'our sense of well-being, and if ,vou enjoy watching an elderly woman lactating. However, "Uncovered: The War on Iraq," which is currently playing at Starz, is a compelling and pertinent look at the conflict by director Robert Greenwald ("Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on
"Unprecedented: The 2000 Journalism," Election"). There are no lactating old women in this film.

The stage has been turned into an ancignt keep where the C,ount spends his days in the deathlike womb of a black coffrn and his nights gluttonously . drinking from the veins of mortals. Born in 1897 and transformed on countless occasions through countless medium, Count Dracula has metamorphosed from the literary mind of nineteenth-century author Bram Stoker into a film star and theater actor, and is now permanently infused into legendarystatus in the modern age. Now Dracula has learned to dance-his latest incarnation manifestingin the ballet called simply, ,. "Dracula." The world's most famous vampire pirouettes, moving with the grace only a ballet dancer can. Epic and intense symphonic music underscores his wery step as the Count stretches and movesthrough his classicstory. The Colorado Ballet has captured Count Dracula and his world and is preparing to release him to dlâ&#x201A;Ź public featuring dancers Egor Vassin t-
and Meelis Pakri plalng the role of the count under the choreographic direction of Michael Pink with musical score by Philip Feeny.Dracula will once again have an opportunity to capture the imaginations of the masses,expressing himself and his world in an entirely new way. "Itt expression put through the body," said ballet dancer, Sharon Wehner, talking about the gracefi:l expression of the human condition through dance. "Sometimes feelings cannot be put into words," said Wehler, who will be playing opposite Vassin. The Count is also a reasonablygood bet for. financial profit and The Colorado Ballet expecs good attendance. "(Dracula) markets to a lot of people," said Wehner. "Ballet markets to a different crowd and putting Dracula to dance can be really powerful." "Dracula"will run Oct. 9 through Nov. 7 at the . Buell Theatre.

SuburbanHome, Locallabelmarks ninth yearof punk rock empire
sweet home
byTuystt{guyen The Metrooolitan Heather Dunsmoor is gushing. She's sitting at the Suburban Home office; a pile of women's panties are stacked on her desk. The undergarments, in various colors, are all screened with the words "The only bush I trust." "I love it," she says."I never want to leave. I'm never going to make that mistake again." The 27 -year-oldhas learned her lesson.After a brief and unhappy stint in retail, she'sreturned to her former employer, local record label and distribution company Suburban Home. And she couldn't be more enthused, "I quit (Suburban Home) to go be a big corporate whore at Urban Outfitters," she said, "which lasted two months because I hated it more than life itself." Things are moving forward, and not iust for Dunsmoor. Suburban Home is quickly approaching the nine-year mark and business seemsbusier than ever. This particular wee\ the lO-person staff is not only filling the usual mail orders, but is preparing for a huge two-day anniversary celebration-a weekendJong "Punk Rock Garage Sale"-and is even uprooting the entire ofhce to a new location. The curreat office is less of an office and more of a one-room warehouse with a few desks, a couple of rickety chairs and some computers. Huge shelvesoverflowing with boxes of CDs and records take up a lot ofthe space.Postersplaster much ofthe walls and most of the desksare scattered with papers, markers and tape. "It's not alnr'ap this messy,"explained Virgil Dickerson, who foulded Suburban Home after self-publishing a'zine by the same name.

Its good
to share Thanksto a concertedpropagandaeffort by the recordindustry musicsharinghasreceived a bad name. Itt time for that to change. I'm not talking about Internet fiIe swapping, at least not specifically. Thatt what has the industry so worked up at the moment, but it's a tempest in a teapot. Despite the hlperbole Cory Casciato predicting the end of the Music Columnist music business, it will survive this just like it survived radio, cassenes,and every other technology they've resisted and feared. In the meantime, the record companies are busy trashing the single most meaningful contributor to the success of music not only as business, but as a popular an form. The best loved songs and albums are those that are tied in memory to someone special in your life. Those shared experiencesbecome part of the music forever and can transform the worst pop song into something precious. Sharing music germinated one of my longest standing friendships. Back in high school we were both typically awkward, unathletic music dorks. Talking about music was a fine way to alleviate the daily torture called gym class and led to us swapping mix tapes and copies of our favorite albums. Not only did those poorly-dubbed cassettes introduce me to Elyis Costello, the Clash and other bands that profoundly affected my musical taste, they formed the basis of a lifelong friendship. The music we shared was an integral part of our friendship and even if I didnt still enjoy them, they d be important to me. My life is full of these experiences, of mix tapes that won me the girl, friendships spawned in the dusty recessesof used record stores and more, but one stands out in my mind over all others. Last year I took my l0-year-old daughter to see her favorite band, the Flaming Lips, for her first real show. A Flaming Lips show is a little like a circus. There are people in animal suits, strange 6lm projections, confetti cannons and lots of other fun weirdness, To get in the spirit, she &essed up in a karate uniform in homage to Yoshimi, a character from one of their songs. The novelty of a l0-year-old dressed as Yoshimi got a fair amount of attention liom showgoers, including a group direcdy in fiont of the stage that cleared a spot for her so she could see. 'Yoshimi When the band began playing Batdes the Pink Robots," the kids that made a spot for her went nuts, jumping up and down and gesticulating wildly to get the attention of Wayne Coyne, the band's singer. He looked down, saw her and the next thing I knew she was on stage with the band, throwing karate moves and looking as excited and happy as she could possiblybe. The memory of my daughter onstage with her favorite band at her first show is indelible. I will always treasure the memory and as much as I liked the Lips before, they now hold a unique place in my heart. The music we've shared has brought us closer together. It's one area we can set aside the normal parent/child relationship and relate as peers,just two fans enioying the music. We talk about and listen to music together. The things she particularly likes take on a special meaning. I'm looking forward to a time when she can introduce me to music she's discovered on her own. I can't wait to see what she digs up. Dont let the record companies fool you. The best part about music is sharing it.

The Roadrunner attack was able to fire on all cylinders, despite the physical nature of the match. "It was a very competitive gamei said head coachDanny Sanchez."Xvery time we play Mesa State, it's like that, so we weren't caught by surprise. But I think both teams played a very hard fair, physical game." On the defensiveend, despitebeing outshot 9-8 by the hometown Maverick, Metro State freshman goalkeeper Tina Chuchill was able to hold strong, earning a shutout in her first collegiatestart.

In the 77d minute, Hanavan scored her secondgoal ofthe match and 1l'h ofthe year, sealingthe victory for the Roadrulners, 3-0. The secondpart ofthe road trip took Metro to rainy, muddy Dirks Field at Fort Lewis College in Durango. The Roadrunners have historically owned the Skyhawks (14-7-2 All-Time), and Sunday was no exception.

Give up? The correct answer is your Metro State Roadrunners. Mâ&#x201A;Źtro entered the weekend with the No, 9 ranking in the country, an undefeated record in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and a treacherous road trip that would take them to the Western Slope for two games. The first, a game against the Mesa State College Mavericks in Grand Junction, ended up being a rough-and-tumble affair that left the Roadrunnersbruised,but not beaten.Numerous players were knocked to the ground on both sides, but the Roadrunners were able to come out on top, 3-0. Neither team was able to gain an edge early on, but in the 24d minute, RMAC leading scorer Kylee Hanavan added to her scoring total for the season with a goal off a pass from ftesh-

With Hanalan scoring a goal, her 126 of the season,in the 35$ minute to round out the first half scoring the Roadrunners took a commanding 3-0 lead into halftime despite the sloppy conditions. The second half was just as sloppy on the 6eld, but Metro was able to play like it was an optimum day for soccer by flpng to the ball and simply dominating thâ&#x201A;Ź home team on their field. The Roadrunners kept their intensity, with junior midfielder fodi McGann scoring her first goal of the year, an unassisted shot that skipped past the goalkeeper,making it 4-0 Metro. Senior back Bonnie Thompson finished the rout with a goal off an assist by junior forward Amy kichiiter. "This game was good preparation for our 'Last year vve got team," said coach Sanchez. hardly any rain at all, and there's a good chance we'll get a lot of rain at our gamesthis year' So this was a good test for us."

conquerCougars3-1 by Donald Smith The Metro men's soccerteam split their twogame road trip last weekend when they lost to Colorado School of Mines 1-0 on Friday, Sept. 17, and later bounced back to defeat Colorado Christian 3-1 on Sunday,Sept. 19. The Roadrunners' (4-2,2-Z RMAC) road trip took a toll on the team because Metro not only lost two of their four conference road games, but also limited key players like David Gordon and Antonio Porras' playing tirne becauseofinluries. Against Colorado School of Mines (3-2-1, 2-2 RMAC), the teams played to a scoreless first half, but what the game lacked in scoring it made up for in action. The Roadrunners and the Orediggerscombined for 22 fouls, 19 shots and five yellow cards (Metro - 3; Mines - 2). The Orediggers fnally broke the tie in the second half, when Mines midfielder Daniel Lockley scoredthe only goal of the game in the 57s minute off a Craig Thompson assist.Metro tried to find an equalizer but to no avail as the Roadrunners fell to the'Diggers 1-0, extending Metro's losing streak to two games. "Unfortunately, against Colorado Mines we didnt have Tony (Porras) for the 6rst half, which aiready made it a little bit easier for them to defend in that they only had to key (in) on Phil Owenl' said Metro head coach Ken Parsons. Owen added that without Porras in the first half lineup, he was stranded up top, which allowed Mines to double team him, making it very difficult to get scoring opportunities. On Sunday, Sept. 19, Metro went to Colorado Christian (0-5, 0-4 RMAC) to avoid a three-game losing streak. The Roadrunners made their bid to win in the 136 minute when sophomore forward Phillip Owen took a pass ftom junior forward Nagui Sabbagh and scored the fust goal of the game. Owen struck again in Carcl A. Dlekic /The Metropolitan the 386 minute, when he was able to &ive senior defender Danny Bills' pass into the back of the Sophonore forward Phillip Owen scored two goals as the Roedrunners beat Colorado Christi.n 3-f net, giving his team a 2-0 lead going into the Sept. 19.Owen has recorded a team-high sevengoals of the seasonwith a total of 1'l points. break 'PhiI has obviously done a great job for a to cometo me ... insteadof being able to go it a closegame,when forward Mitchell Wingrow player that hasn t played a lot of forward and has get iq" said Owen about his adiustmentsfrom scoredoff teammateChris Royer'spassin the 64hminute. been getting us critical goalsl' coach Parsons said midfielder to forward.

'We're a much different team, a more difficult teamwhen both of thoseplayersareon the field (Ponas and Owen), becauseyou can't just key on one," coachParsonssaid about the differencebetweenplayingColoradoMines and Christian, Owen said he plays well with Ponas, who didnl play in last Sunday'sgame against the Cougars: "I enjoy playing \dth Tony,"Owen said. "I think we have a good understandingof how we work and hopefully he getsbackfrom iniury pretty soon, nun, so we can scorc somemore goals."
