While Ienna Bush rerninisced about her father's past, Barbara Bush spoke about her parents'futures in the White House. She said one reason to vote for her father 'to was keep my mom in the White House for four more years." She also spoke briefly on education reform, economic gains and the war on terror. She said her father would make sure "no one is left behind" and that more freedom in the world means more peacefirl times. With Colorado as one of the key battleground states and polls showing the race tight between President Bush and Sen. Jobn Kerry, Barbara Bush said she'ssure her father can win, "It dependson how many go out and vote," she said. After the twins addressed a crowd of 100 women, DU students, and the press, Gwynneth Dieter, president of the Colorado chapter of 'W" Stands for Women, introduced three guest panelists: Liz Cheney, daughter ofVice President Dick Cheney; Lt. Goy. Jane Norton; and Nancy Brinker, former U.S. ambassador to Hungary and founder of the Race for the Cure. The three spoke about issues ranging from
'No national security to Child kft Bâ&#x201A;Źhind;' President Busht education reform program. "Bush has been a steadv and consistent leader at home and abroad," Dieter said. Chenen tfing the first question from Dieer, suggestedthat the invasion of lraq was a good move for United Statesforeign policy. "Post-9/11, no American president would stand by while threats gathered," Cheney said. "Iraq was the nexus of terrorism." Cheney continued to point to Kerry's record" "He has come down on the wrong side of every issue," she said. Shifting gears, Brinker answered several questions about U.S. health care. She said she was excited about President Bush's policies currently in place and those being proposed for the next four years. "Health care is going to be a subject in the next decade that will plague all of us if we don't do anything about it today," Brinker said. She said U.S. health care is the envy of the world and the Bush administation must be reelected in order to keep it privatized and allow families the choice of care. She said President

Auraria students joined 300 campuses nationwide in an effort to urge politicians to endorse clean and renewable energy in the upcoming elections. Students gathered at the flagpole October 19 to voice the fuct that people who live near coal-fired power plants suffer ftom asthma, respiratory diseasesand cancer. l,eaders from Metro State Active Voices for the Environment (MSAVE) organized the demonstration for Metrc Colorado may join 16 other statesin adopting renewable energy requirements, but will be the first state to vote on the initiative. If passed,Amendment 37 would require Colorado utility companieswith 40,000or more customers to generate or buy a portion of their energy from renewable energy sourcessuch as wind, solar, geothermal heat, biomass facilitieg methane from landfills, hydrogen fuel cells or animal wastes. Advocates for this initiative say that using renewable energy is in Colorado's best interest "This makes sense for several reasons, one is cleaner air. The American Lung Association has endorsed it. Another reason is it's cheaper energy. Wind is the cheapest form of new energy," said Manolo Gonza.lez-Estay,the campaign co-director for Coloradoans for Clean Energy. Xcel Energy initially did not want to put up the Lamar wind farms, but then later admitted that it saved customers $4.6 million in the first year, Gonzalez-Estay said. A recent Rocky Mountain News poll showed that 74 percent of Colorado voters support Amendment 37. However, Xcel Energy, TriState Generation and Rural Electric Association have ioined together with Citizens for Sensible Energy Choicesto support a $900,000opposition campaign. Xcel Energy alone has sunk $500,000 into opposing the amendment. Two percent of Colorado's generated energy already comes from renewable energy. Amendment 37 proposes that utility companies be requied to use three percent beginning in 2007, escalating to l0 percent by 2015 and it would be

"That litde amount of solar energy (four percent) has a huge price tag on it," said Ieani Frickey, spokesperson for the Citizens for SensibleXnergy Choices. 'What Amendment 37 is changing is that we're going to require a certain source of energy regardless of cost," Frickey said. Opponents of the initiative also claim that non-residential consumers may pay more for electricity under this proposal. The initiative caps residential bills so that an increaseof no more than 50 cents will be allowed. Non-residential customers, such as hospitals and schools, worlt have cap protection and could facehigher energFcosts,Frickey said. Amendment 37 advocates argue, however, that renewable energy facilities will provide tax revenues tlrat can be used by local governments that can pay for services such as schools and hospitals,which would benefit them, Another concern is how this amendment will affect the rural communities. "Rural areas will be hit the hardest by this," Frickey said. Advocatesfor Amendment 37 disagreethat rural areas will be negatively af;fected arguing that renewable energy sources are typically located in rural areas and will therefore boost their economies. For example, the construction and maintenanceof the new energyfacilitieswill createjobs in rural Colorado. Also this initiative will create the opportunity for some farmers and ranchers to benefit from a new source of income by using agricultural waste for the purpose of generating electricitr. They also will have the opportunity to leasetheir land for wind facilitres. Xcel makes morâ&#x201A;Ź money selling natural gas and is already planning an 80 percent rate increase this winter. If this initiative passeswind source won't make as much money for Xcel becauseof the cap. The real motivation for the opposition to this amendment is economically driven, Gonzalez-Estaysaid. 'It's another big corporation telling another big lie," Gonzalez-EstaysaidColorado House Speaker Lola Spradly, R-Beulah, and Congressman Mark Udall, D-Eldorado Springs, lobbied in favor of Amendment 37.

"EnviroCitizen runs vote environment campaignsand encouragesstudentsto run clean energy campaignson their own campuses. We helped Mercedesdo that last spring," said Beka Wilson, EnviroCitizen coordinator. "I'm currently helping students at four different campuses,"Wilson said. 'We're definitely for it (Amendment 37)," said Mercedes Pollmeier, spokesperson for MSAVE. "We passed a clean energy initiative on campus. Now we want to take it statewide," Pollmeier said. In April, 95 percent of the students at Auraria voted in favor of paying $1 per student per sâ&#x201A;Źmesterto subsidizc the cost of wind and solar energy. "We're currently running a campaign on campus to promote 37 and.4a.

Looming contradictions The right wing commentators are falling apart. Bill O'Reillyt recent harassment lawsuit is just beginning and Rush Limbaugh's painkiller addiction is reexamined. Sex and drugs.,. it seems as if the conservative media is having an lmage crrsrs. Limbaugh Rush announced a year ago that he had an addiction to prescription drugs he was prescribed to alleviate p"io. OryContin and Irrcet, both having effects similar to morphine, were used in large
amounts by Limbaugh. He went to detox following the announcement that his use was in excess,and then promptly filed suit againstthe police for seizinghis medicalrecords. Hydrocodoneand the family of opiates it belongsto is not a prescription drug one can obtain casually.It is listed as a ClassA highly misuseddrug in the U.K., and itt disbursement in the statesis strictly regulated. The policeseizedLimbaugh'srecordsto find out if he was visiting multiple doctors to get severalprescriptions.LimbaughfiIed suit claiming that his privacy rights were in violation. The investigationon his drug usewassusained pendingthe resultsof his lawsuit. The court ruled that the investigationwas preformed legally, and that medical records and other documentationcould be seizedlawfirlly without informing him. If the police have a searchwarrant and you happen to be under investigationfor abusinga controlled substance, donl expecta memo every time they want to peek at )our records.And if you happento acquire over 2,000 painkillers from the same pharmacy in four months, expect some questions.

The big differenceis Limbaugh has more money then the averageaddict, and will be appealing the courtt decision. "Theret nothing good about &ug use. We know it ... And so ifpeople are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accusedand they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up." (Limbaugh in 1995) Limbaugh says that he never claimed to be a role model, but when he speaksof such topics like the War on Drugs he ought to remember that war does not merely affect dealers on the street but also pill poppers with good insurance plans. Bill O'ReilIy has been accused of sexual harassment and says he fears for his career. His accuser,Andrea Mackris, is a former producer of his cable talk news show "The O'Reilly Factor". Mackris claims that O'Reilly pressured her into having unwanted phone sex conversations and harassedher with offensive sex talk. O'Reilly likes to lecture guests on his show about morality and family values. He even recendy wrote a book of advice for children. The man who criticizes the sex scandals of others on his show can now look forward to being on the receiving end of the commentary. His lawyers at Fox filed suit against Mackris to fire her legally. O'Reilly commented on the day the scandal broke, ""I knew that by filing this lawsuit I was going to perhaps ruin my career. . . . If I have to go down, I'm willing to do it. But I've got to make a standi' What stand? He refuses to deny t}at he is in the wrong. He stands behind his lawyers and says he has treen advised not to comment further. Why would anyone be so "willing" to be persecuted falsely?If it could do more damage to tell the truth, then let weryone assume. Andrea Mackris Ieft Fox News Channel
because she was offered a better position at CNN. Sheleft on good terms and later returned to work on "The O'Reilly FactorJ in ]uly. If the conditions where so horrible why did she return? Mackris states she returned because O'Reilly agreed to not speak to her that way again,but boun&ries where pushed. It does not seem logical that one would return to a work environment that is plagued with sexuallyoffensivebehavior simply because the person who is initiating the behavior promises to refrain. Mackris should have filed her complaint prior to returning to Fox. Just because she took some time to tape some phone calls and go through negotiations for settlement doesn't mean the incidents never happened. Perhaps Mackris is just an opportunist and came back to Fox to get the proof to bust O'Reilly. Limbaugh's syndicated radio show has 12 million listeners daily, and approximately 20 million listenersweekly. His contract for 20012006was reportedly $285million. "Limbaugh" is offered on over 600 channels and makes $50-50 million a year in advertising for the company Premiere. His popularity has not subsided since he announced he is hooked on painkillers. O'Reilly makes $10 million a year from his show and his book sales.He brings in $60 million a year for Fox. "The O'Reilly Factor" is the highest rated talk news show. What started as a pitch to a brand new news channel in 1996 has tumed into a successfri investment for a conservative viewing audience. Now, with the râ&#x201A;Źcent allegations, will O'Reilly be forced into early retirement? Not likelv. Instead, Fox has a case to terminate Mackris while the lawsuits take place. Publicity may help O'Reillyi ratings, and this would be great subject matter for another one of his books.
Another month haspassedand itt time for the monthly report about the Boardof Tiusteâ&#x201A;Źs meeting. As the sole student the representative on Board of Trustees, I give these reports to inform my fellow students about the operations of the Board. These articles are only part of my attempt to distribute info rmation. If you would like to know Stephen Hay 'in --Titu;tffiiAmore or simply stay the loop," please e-mail me at mscd-studenttrustee@mscd.edu or sign on to the Student Trustee Forum group on Metroconnect under the Social category in the Groups Index. The Board met on October 6, 2004. The meeting agenda was light on items that needed approval but rich in information. The only approlals needed by the Board were four personnel appointments: Dr. Nancy Case,chair of the Accelerated Nursing Program; Dr. Mollie Hill, staffpsychologist; Ms. Lee Pruett, assistant to the vice president of Mministration and Finance; and Mr. Russell Reynolds, coordinator for Assessmentand Testing Every year, Metro reviews some of its academic programs. Each pmgram is evaluated every seven years by outside consultants and a committee ftom the college. Last spring, reviews were conducted of the AnthropologF, Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Services, Mechanical Science, Human Engineering Technology, Political Science, and Sociologyprograms. Though the recommendations are too long to mention here, they are available on the Board of Trustees web site www.mscd.edu/ welcomeclr/trustees/ within the October 20(X meeting agenda. Also given were follow-up reports for the programs reviewed n 2002: African American Studies, Biologf, Electrical nngineering Technology, History, Industrial Design, Land Use, and Meteorology. These reports present the steps Metro has taken to meet the recommendations of the rwiews presented last year.

be warranted. GuantanamoBay, as we all knoq is beingused to detain those who are thought to be involved in any aspectof terrorism. The facility hasbeen,from the beginning, a public relations nightmare. Criticshavequestioned the treatment of the detainees and have also questioned the validity of evenhaving
such a facility. How can the United States keep pmple detained without charging them with any crime? This makes us look like a global bully bent on revenge. However, it turns out that we might be justified in having this facility after all. Sevendetainees fiom Guantanamo Bay have gone back to their terrorist pasts. Although not all the names have been released to the public, one former Guantanamo prisoner, Abdullah Mehsud recently directed a kidnapping in
Pakistan that ended in the death of a Chinese engineer. The others have remained unidenti fied, but apparently have been linked to terrorist acts. The fact that former terrorists, or those accusedof terrorism, are returning to their pasts is not too shocking. What is shocking is the terms on which these detainees were released. Apparendy the detainees signed pledges that they would renounce violence and were then given their freedom. Of course some of those who were released were kept under surveillance, but many apparently slipped through the cracks. I for one am more than willing to stand up for the intelligence community when it comes to fending off terrorism. We Iive in a very unpredictable world and the vermin that prey on innocent people are especially difficult to find. But let's be honest--do we really think having someone sign a pledge is going to stave off violence in the future? (I can't believe they didn't have them pinky swear as welll) No wonder people often consider military intelligence an oxfmoron. I don't think we can monitor everyone who is released from the facility, but is signing a pledge our best form of defense?
Mai. Gen. Eric Olson, the second in command of US troops in Afghanistan, said in a 'Its not statement to the Associated Press that, going to be perfect, so it has not led to any soulsearching about the release program." I wonder what would need to happen in order for the 'soul military to do some searching"about the release program. The casual nature of Olsont comments are disturbing to say the least. What if, after being released,one of the detainees was able to launch a massive terrorist attack against the citizens of the United States? Would some soul searchinghappen then? I rea.lizethat the task before the intelligence and defense commulities is an enormous one, and I applaud their efforts. But with events and comments like this I can understand the complaints that are lodged against them. Policies like having released detainees sign pledges and comments like those from Olson only open up the military and intelligence communities to criticism. I think it is time for some soul searching and I think the first place to start is Guantanamo Bay.
The last items on the agenda were two presentations. The first was regarding the Metro grant proiect, "An Adventure of the American Mind." The AAM project teaches educators and future educators how to use and integrate digitized materials from the Library of Congress into the dassroom, such as an original draft of the Constitution of the United States, letters ftom United States Presidents, and seven million more items. The second presentation was concerning the $9 million Teacher Quality Enhancement Program grant that Metro received last month from the U.S. Department of Education. The Board heard about this program for teacher education and how it will be implemented in partnership with Denver Public Schools.

champion misogynist's record is far ftom prowoman. In fact, the only women I recall Bush standing up for were his precious twins when their underage drinking came into question. Let me guess,Bush was standing for women when he revoked 12.5 percent of the annual budget from the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, which is world renowned for improving the lives of women in dweloping countries. Bush quit writing checks when concems came up that UNFPA was funding organizations that were forcing abortions and sterilization on women. This matter was investigated thoroughly, and rightfirlly so. UNFPA came up clean, but luly 22, 2002, Bush declared UNFPA would not receive any funding. The Bush Administration found new concernswith UNFPA, including funding such radical medical practices as pap smears, providing contraceptives, HfV/AIDS prevention, mammograms, vasectomies, and efforts to end violence against women. Damn those unruly gynecologists and obstetricians. When will they learn? Domestically, Bush's administration has ensured that receiving safe abortions is as drawn out as possible. Denying a woman's ability to make educated health decisions, the Administration has encouraged states to make
policy that requires never-ending stacks of paperwork, showing women ultrasound photos with the fetus clearly marked, and waiting periods that last up to 72 hours. In many states, including Colorado, minors must receiveparental cons€nt. Courtesy of the federal definition of abstinence-only education, sex education classesare now more watered down than movie theater fountain drinlis. Teachers are now expected to tell their students that the best form of birth control and HMAIDS prevention, as well as protection from STDs, is abstinence until marriage. They cannot advocate condom use or even show a condom to the class. Literature is leaking in to schools presenting false statistics about condom use, like condoms having a I in 6 failure rate. Now girls might as well not set a standard
for protected sex, since they are told that with safesex, they have close to the same chancesthat pregnancy,HIV/AIDS, and STDs will occur. Busht attack on womens health has even brought the apolitical science communities into the political combat after forcing the National Cancer kxtitute to remove a fact sheet from their Web site stating that abortion does not causebreast cancer, This m1th, started by anti-choice groups like Focus on the Family, has been torn apart by nearly every cancer research center in the country, yet Bush will not allow women to know the truth. Who are thesewomen'W" standsfor? Who likes to be lied to, denied health care, and have g:eir reproductive choices limited by the government? Bush s display of disregard and even €ontempt for the health of women around the globe speakslouder than any yard sign.
The Boy Who Cried "MOOSE!" The following is the tragic story ofa cricket, a donkey, and a boy who cried "Moosd' . - . Once there was a boy ... lets call him Georgie Porgie ... who was chair of the Local SheepWatchers #2M. OLe night, while Georgie Porgie was out watching sheep (as Sheep-Watcherswill do), he spotted a cricket, quiedy hopping along (as crickets will do). For somereason,ma16ea needfor attention, mayte over a concern of failing cricket physiology l0l, no one will never know, Georgie Porgie ran straight to the Village Presidentt Hut shouting "Cricket! Cricket! CRICIGT!" Some villagers, roused from their sleep,said, "who cares about a dumb old cri&et?" "Maybe you should have srudied cricket physiology betterl' the village president said, "I had better investigate this cri&et matter, or else I might lose my tenuous Interim Village President position, in this very pro-Sheep-Watcherspolitical climate"-And so, the cricket was investigated (results later confirmed, it was in fact a cricket). Unfortunately, the story did not stop here. You see, Georgie Porgie liked the attention so much, that his cricket soon became a moose ,.. Once the cricket investigation had begun, Georgie Porgie began to appreciate the politics of Sheep-Watcheradvancement. So, the next night, rvhile the villagers were fast asleep,Georgie Porgie once againbeganto cry out, "Moose! Moose!The cricket became a MOOSE!" The villase awoke
with a start, and all the villagen came running. As they approached the spot where Georgie Porgie wasyelling, they beganto slow, for there in fiont of them was not a moose, but a donkey, a very tired looking donkey (interestingly enough, the SheepWatchershad been trying to get rid of this donkey for more than twent'' years, quite a long time for one little donkey). Well, a couple of villagers said, "Get that damned donkey once and for all!" A few villagers said, "thatt not a moose, itt a donkey - what are ),ou so excited about?" And the \tllage President said "I guessI had better investigatethis donl<eytoo." Georgie Porgie loved the attention so much, 'MOOSE" that the next night he had a ftiend cry and again the villagers came running, and again they saw the same tired donkey. Some villagers said, "Get that damned donkey!" Yet again, a couple of villagers said, "itt still a donkey,' and the village president said, "I guess I had better investigate this donkey, ya again" (note: a special report later confumed the existenceof a donkey, and that the donkey did not have any weapons of massdestruction). Georgie Porgie really loved the attention, and so he began to taunt the villagers with "if you go to sleep,I'll cry moose,iust you wait and see,"but the village had grown tired of Georgie Porgie, and so once again they went to deep. That night, surprise surprise, one of Georgie Porgie's friends cried moose yet again. However, this time something
suange happened. No one came running. When Georgie Porgie askedwhy no one seemedto care, he was greetedwith condemnation. "Of course we don't care - you threatened to do this, so now we don't believe you." Georgie Porgie did not like the sound of that! "I didn t threaten," he said to the Local Printer's Guild. "I merely wanted to make sure you were alert, in casea real moose came along, and there she is. over there!" But still, no one listened. Georgie Porgie had destroyed his credibility as a Sheep-Watcher and a villager. Then, trying to reclaim his shredded digniry Gmrgie Porgie cried, "l didn't say any of that, sommne stole my Local Sheep-Watchers#2,14password and pretended to be me." But. it was too late, no one would listen. To this day, Georgie Porgie still sits, huddled in a corner,chirping to himself "moose... m-mmmoose ..- moose",but no one is listening. You may be tempted to feel sorry for Georgie Porgie, but remember: he brought this upon himself. The sad part of this story is that one day there may be a real moose, but no one will ever klow, because no one will ever believe the Local Sheep-Watchers #244 again. What about the donkey you ask? Well, she is still a donke,v,and no matter how many rich Sheep-Watchersfrom around the sAte try to get her, she still prevails. Seemslike a lot of effort, iust to get one little donkey. How embarrassing! Wlliam Sffird - wfford@mscd.edu

Tutu reminded Auraria students that America supported the apartheid in South Africa becausethey were againstcommunism and how, in Afghanistan, rhe United Statâ&#x201A;Źs forgets that it armed and trained the Taliban because, at that time, anyone against communism was our ally, She explained how we don't listen to the story of those people anymore becausewe have decided they are terrorists. The women of Afghanistan asked for help long before the United States got involved but
their concernswere, in the past, put aside until it becamein our best interestto help them, Tutu said. "How often do you see a Palestinian woman interviewed about her life?" Tutu asked students. Look at a Palestinianwoman whose child became a suicide bomber. She may tell people that sheis proud of her childt deedsbut we cant imagine that she wanted that for her child, said Tutu, "We don't hear those stories. We don't hear of what these women dream of for their children and we've decided that we don't need to becausâ&#x201A;Źthey're terrodsts,"said Tutu. Tutu spoke about the stereotFpe that many may hold when the issue of women on welfare is mentioned. She described that stereoty?e as: a woman who has fifteen children with one on the way so she can get more money kom the system-a woman who watches soap operas on her big screen television, eating steakswhile we have to get up and go to work everymorning. "When we look at our situation at home we must ask; Whose voices are heard? When rve look at welfare reform we dont listen to the voices of those who experience it The way we silence peoplet voices is we label them. We label them as welfare moms and we get an image in our headand decidethat her voiceisnt important," Tutu said. Tutu supports the development of South Afiican Female Empowerment (SAIE), which focuses on sexual violence programs and economic empolverment of women, as she is a profound global advocatefor women s rights. Tutu advocated for the value that each person possesses and the voice within them that we often don't validate. "When we talk about human rights we have a feeling that there are some people that are less than we are. When I go to a restaurant I see people who can't seethe person that is waiting on them. "lVhen we decide that people are lessthan (us), u'e decide that their voice isn't worth hearing. If our children were as slow to pick their clothes up off the floor as rre are to deal rvith human rights, they u'ould be grounded," said Tutu. It seemswe're getting information but if we look at where that information comesfrom and what it's about. "over and over the information is not complete,"said Tutu. "I grew up as a black child in apartheid South Africa. Our voices werent heard," said Tutu Tutu spoke with pride about the social progress in South Afiica. "l doft want to saythat we South Africans have the answers to the world, but we do," ioked Tutu. "For the first time a nation listened to everybody. We listened and made it part of our national story. "We have to start by getting rid of the notion that there are some whose stories are more important than others," Tutu said. Tutu commented on how we don't hear from the grass roots. She gave examples of the genitalia mutilation that takes place in the name of religion and culture and how we still dorlt hear much about it. She also questioned why we stopped hearing about the women that were liberated in 'How Afghanistan and asked, are they'" 'Those stories that we don't listen to, that voice that we dorlt let be heard, that is human rights abusel Tutu said.

It chronicles his career,from his first gigsin smokl'bars imitatingNat King Cole and L h a r l e sB r o w nt o h i sg r o u n d b r e a k i nsge s s i o nast The dramaof the film AtlanticandABC Records. spinslike a recordaround the trials and travails of Charles'privatclife the deathof his younger brother,the lossof his sight to glatrcomaat the age of seven,the prejudices and condescension of his peers.

He expertly adopts the physical mannerisms and tick of Charles. \!hen Foxx stamps his feet to the music, breaks into the trademark beaming smile, and hugs himself as the audienceroars, the difference between imitator and imitated is blurred indistinguishabh'. "This movie is an absolute b)essingto anyonewho lovesmusic," Fox-xsaid. At the premier, Foxx talked about meeting Charlesand of plavingpiano alongsideone of the legendsof soul. \\rhen Foxx played a bum note, Charles responded *'ith his characteristic good humor and offered advice gleanedfrom a lifetimein music. " H e t o l d n r e t h a l t h e n o t e s are right underneath 1'our fingers," Fopi said. "All you gotta do is find out what they are." From these words of wisdom, the actor pulled a more profound lesson. "l realizedthat life is notes underneath our fingers,"he said.'All we've got to do is take the time to figure out what they are." The soundtrack of the film is pulled entirely from Charles' original and supplemental recordings; it is all Ray, expertly lip-synced bv Foxx. Unlike past musical film biographies, the lilmmaliers did not alter the art that distinguished the artist. In this wa)', even u'ith the crew's exhaustive research and the actors' expert performances,the true star of this film is the music. Those notes that Charles alrvays found so easily were the leading lights of this year's opening ceremonies. They pierced the hype, the glitz, and the pomp of the eveningto deliver a messageof a hope that conquers despair,of a Iight that shinesin the darkness,no matter how profound.
'lmaginary maybetoomuch Heroes' Woullard byClayton TheN,4etropolitan "lmaginary Heroes" is a real feel-good movie. Not so nuch because it's funny or sincerely leavesyou with a vvarnrfuzzy feeling, but becauseit makes you feel good that your family really isn't that scrervedup comparedto the messthat unveils on screen. The Travis family ivas never together to start with, but when their oldestson Matt (Kip Pardue)commitssuicide,the dysfunctionalunit is left to reelin their harshrealities. Emile Hirsch, whose credits include "The Girl Next Door," "The Emperor's Club," and "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Bo1s," stars as Mattk younger brother Tim, who servesas the focal point ofthe film and the magnetic force the other charactersare drarvn to.
Set in present day, the film tbcuseson horv out of touch people can be, especially after a traged,r', ar.rdsome of the out-right stupiditv and :elf-centerednessthat comeswilh it. But the film is more about horv the members of the Travjs family try to get in touch lvith and what realitymeansto them. themselves Sigourney \{'eaver dazzlesas Sandy Travis, the mother u'ho finds herself crumbling under the pressureof trying to keep her iamily together. So, seeking relief from the pressure, she finds solacein narijuana, rvith sornehilarious results. But her shining moments are those shc sharesn'ith Tim. Thesemomâ&#x201A;Źnts standout not only becauseit's a mother son relationship that's different than most, but also becausethey are endearingand believable. It's remarkable that writer-director Dan Harris has made such a deep, complicated, but
extraordinary film at the ageof 24, but the script for this movie was reportedlywhat compelled "X2: X-Men United" director Bryan Singer to seekHarris to write that movie's screenplay. "lmaginary Heroes" is a movie with characters who will irritate you (especially with leff Daniels who plays Ben Tiavis, the fathet who's so out-of-touch that he at one point asksTim if he'd like money for a Nirvana concert),rnakeyou laugh,disturb you, but most importantly, make you feel for them. Harris succeedsin exposingthe characters' flarvs so, hopefull,v, their strengths will shine through, but it seemedhe threw a few too many h{.istsinto the plot to do this. For some, this film will be too much, and I don't blame them. But it's the remarkable performances of, and great chemistry among the actors that makes this one of the Festival's highlights.

gouernor healthcare debates Former by KathrynGraham
-T-9Lvr.911".P*il-Guest speakersdebatedcurrent issuesat the Seventh Annual Honors Conference last week. Dolph Grundman, Metrot honors program director and hislory professor, organizes the conferenceto the benefit of students each year. This year's theme topic was "The Campaign of 2004: Did it Clarifr or Obfuscate?"Grundman brought speakers in from both sides of each issue. Former Colorado Governor, Richard Lamm, spoke at the conference specifically about America's health care related issues. "Polls show Americans dislike their health care more than any other country in the world. Ask Canada if they like their health care. Canadians get to see their doctors faster and more often than we do," said l"amm. However, Lamm said recendy in The Rocky Mounmin News that the German health-care system comes closer to the model he would favor for America if he were forced to choose. 'We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars tr)'ing to save a baby that was born to a mother that we didn't give prenatal care to. We let people die becausewe are not giving them basic health care. There should be some way to make sure that everyone can get some sort of health care,
although some can be left to the markets,"Lamm said. Lammt opponent on the health care issue, Linda Gorman, an economist with the Independence Institute, argued that we should pay our own small health care costs and that overall health care should be rationed. She argued that a governmental health care plan would cause higher taxes and therefore favors health savingsaccounts. "Canadians can't keep their physicians. People are buying health care with someone else'smoney. If you want to control this we have to stop. Money for health care will come from higher taxes. To make things better ration it," said Gorman. Gorman also argues that it is not the fuult of our current health care system that babies are born with low birth weights and people are dying. "Illegal drugs are found in women as a reason for low birth weight. Not many people die unlessthey're strung out on drugs or something,"she said. In line with this yeart conference theme, health care reform is one of the hot issuesin this up-coming presidentialelection. Similar to what Gorman advocates, President Bush's health care plan includes establishing health savings accounts that could be established for Americans with tax cr€dits.
Busht health plan also suggestslowering drug costs by strengthening competition between genericand brand namecompetitors,increasing prescription drug benefits to seniors and giving flexibility to statesto extend Medicaid eligibility'. Presidentialhopeful fohn Kerry's health plan would cut family premiums by up to $1,000giving every American access to affordable plans by extending coverage to 95 percent of Americans, including every child. Kerry's plan would also reduce prescription drug costs by allowing the re-importation from Canada and would cut the costs that are wasted on paperwork and the administrative process.Kerry claims that his health plan will be voluntary. Americans would still have the choice to keep their private coverage. "I think that neither political party can come to grips with it but I think John Kerry has a litde better plan," said Lamm. Gorman disagrees with l"amm regarding Kerry's proposal for health care reform. "If you let the private sector get involved you have more choice. Kerry is saying more centralizedcontrol," Gorman said. "No matter what you havesomeoneis going to set limits to it, Right now insurance companies are setting all kinds of limits but the best way is not to leave it to individual pay. People dont know what they need, it's complicatedi said
Lamm. ln conclusion to the health care argument, both Gorman and Lamm agree that something has to be done with the current state of our health care system,although which direction it should go is where tle argument lies. Lamm appeared flexible on his position indicating Americans need to at least take some sort of action. "Linda and I both agreethere should be some experimentation in health care,"said lamm. Other issues that were discussed at this year'shonors conferenceincluded immigration, the economy, the environment, education, the media, campaign financing and Iraq. The conference schedule was spread out over tvvo days. "We try to pick panelists that have different points ofview and who are experts in their area," Grundman said. "I thought the panels were very good and that there were lots of lively discussions, particularly the one on health care and the one on energy and the environment-immigration certainly was heated," said Grundman. Honors programs are national in scope and provide an opportuniry for students who want to dig a litde bit deeper into subjects of interest. "The most irnportant thing is that it provides 'another coinmunitf at Metro;'Grundman said-

have turned out much differently. As a child growing up in New Orleans, Armstrong idolized the ragtime musicians that haunted th€ crooked avenues of the city. One of the acknowledged
