ftomC()l.lSiTlTUTlON on pageS She said shet seeking to get input on th€ policy manual from former SGA members, administrators and current students.

Students voted down a proposed Internet Service AccessProgram in the special election.

The ISAP,a proposed voluntary program offering dial-up Intern€t accessat home to Metro students for no more than $40 a semester,failed by five votes.

Student Trustee Stephen Hay, who helped get the initiative on the ballot, said het disappointed it did not pass and feels that some students had a knee-jerk reaction when they saw it would be an additional student fee, even though students would be able to opt out of it on a semester-by-semester basis.

"If you see a proposed student fee, you re going to yote no," Hay said. "Not enough students received the information to make a different decision."

Becausee-mail is the official form of communication for the college, the ISAP would have made sure all students had the chanceto accesstheir collegee-mail at home, Hay said.

Hax who served as chairman for the SGA Constitution Committee, which formed the document last fall, said the SGA will now to set the constitution in place so the next SGA doesn't have to figure it out themselves.

"Itt going to be an evolution of the student government," he said. "Without crossing this hurdle, some of the possibilitieswere limited."

Gill said she'salso interestedin having the SGA be involved with educatingstudentsabout the CollegeOpportunity Fund, a program that diverts money the state government gives to collegesfor each student and giving it to the student.

She wants the SGA to get involved with the legislature in addressinghigher education rssues.

How does the U.S.spell rcliefil The United States has a lot of money flying around inside it. Phillip Knight and his Nike Corporation have an advertising budget of $700 million. The lowest fortune on Forbes' 4OO Wealthiest People list is $700 million dollars. WalMart earns more than 155 of the world's 192 countries, a cool $118 billion annually (Corporute Watch). ln 2003, the Bush Administration allocated $15 billion dollars to NASA to create spaceZo€ Willi.ms ships capable of flying to Columnist the moon and barraging a country with nuclear weapons. Y€s, that is dfteen with nine zeros, all for science boys and their big toys. The U.S. is more than willing to spend up to $200 billion on the demolition and mass slaughter of Iraq without a flindr.

Yet, when a tsunami hit South Asia, killing 150,O00 people, leaving millions more homeless, siclq and injured the Bush Administration was v.i.lling to cough up a miniscule S35 million, lessthan the cost of King George IIt Inauguration Day dog and pony show.

It took public humiliation from the U.S. left wing and the international community to bolster that number up to 3350 million (approximately the same amount spent on mfing the "Iord of the Rings" trilogy).

I don t argue that $350 million is a lot of rnoney, but it is not enough from a country willing to spend up to $9 billion a month (according to Congressional Budget Office estimates) killing people in lraq.

Yes,the U.S. will pour up to $200 billion into killing over 100,000 Iraqis, but when 150,000 people die from a natural disaster, we'll throw them a bone and turn our backs.

The Bush Administration's resistance to

provide aid to its full capability is not only a general betrayal of the victims, but a complete slap in the face to the women and girls of Asia, who are shouldering the brunt of the disaster.

Common necessitieslike menstrual products are in high demand and short supply according to Ms. Magazine.

Rq)orts are flying out of Sri Lanka saying that'serious issues concerning the safety and well-being ofwomen ...have not been addressed so far in relief efforts" as released to Women's Eflarrs.This includes a rise in rape, gang rape, and physical abuse in shelters and during rescues.

The U.S even acknowledged this when the Department of State released information to South Asian ambassadors and non-governmental organizations about a "potential sex trafficking crisis" (sexslavery)in the areashardesthit by

operations to provide obstetrical supplies to women in South Asia to prevent childbirth related illness,injury and death.

Even worse, Republicans are now asking people to stop funding some ofthe largestorganizations including OXFAM, a leading anti-hunger NGO for supporting reproductive freedom.

Other organizationsof which right-wingers like Focus on the Family and Charles Moore call for a boycott include the Red Cross and the UN Children's Fund for advocating increased access to safeabortion, emergencycontraception,honest sex education, and recognizing reproductive health as a human right.

It is sad and pathetic that the Bush Administration and company have so little regard for human life that they will allow wars and ridiculous religious standards to come above helping South Asia, a region long

In the Nov. l8 edition of The Metropolitan we reported on the ongoing problems our illustrious Student Government Assembly is having in getting along like good boys and girls shouldThe article, which more or less described the unsavory history of this worthless organization and their current internal conflicts, included a brief summary of what they plan on doing to resolve their conflice. It also went into detail about a proposed revamp of their constitution, which they put up for student vote during the last full week of school. But bear with me; I'11get to that part in a moment.

First, lett back up even farther, shall we?

In our Nov. 4 edition, we quoted SGA Vice President for Communications Beth Ott as saying, "Everything the SGA has done thus far has been for the SGA," Thatt nice, isnt it? There it was, a litde over a month before the end of the Fall sernester and these guys had done nothing at all for the students; they had only managed to serve themselves, and not very well, it seems, since none of them could agree on anything

including what they were all there for in the first place.

Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen,who has the daunting, yet impressivetide of-deep breath now-Interim AssociateVP of StudentServices and Deanof StudentLife,saidin the samearticlethat SGAneeds"to getto the moreconcrete philosophicalissuesof what SGds purpose is."

What a surprise!SGAhasno purpose,or, at the least,hasnt really figured out what it is, This is disturbing newsconsideringthat this organization-if you cancall it that; I preferdisorganization, myself-has a yearly budget of $120,000, money that comesfrom feesyou paid in order to be a student here at this fine, but hopelessly misguided,institution.

Not that they were simply sitting around the spaciousconfinesof the SGAoffice playing solitaireor Tetris on their student-fundedcomputers.No, thes€guysspentthe entire semester bickering through the processof coming up with a new constitution that would add more membersto this groupthat hasno visiblefunction whatsoever.The constitution was finally agreedupon (at leastin theory) and put up for a studentvote.Problemis,the votingtook place the weekbeforefinals;the weekmost students are busy thinking about the following weekt

chaos and then getting the hell out, if not forever for at leasta month, In the end, 418 students, rougNy two percent of the student population, voted. There were 273 YESvotes-it is, after all, possiblethat the 13 SGA members combined had enough &iends to account for most of that numberand 94 NO votes. Fifty-one students cast the "no response" vote (why that was even an option, God Himself only knows, and Het not saying), and there you have it.

For the record, I voted NO because there was no provision in this new constitution even remotely suggesting that SGA would abolish itself or that all students would be getting a retroactive refund after paying for all those semestersduring which SGA had no purpose. I also think adding more people to a group that doesrlt even know why they're a group in the first place,is simply a bad, if not cosdy,idea.

So, SGA, you've got your new constitution; now itt time to put away your petty squabbles, your party politics and your self-serving ways and do your job once you 6gure out what your job is. If you can\ do that then, please,do us all a favor and decide, for the betterment of Metro, to disband and let that $120,000a year go to an organization that knows what it's doing.

IheabeReview byAdamH.Goldstein TheMetropolitan Imagine, if you will, theatre that blends the irreverent energy of Monty Plthon and Kids in the Hall, the decorous poetry of Shalespeare, the absurdist zeal of French playwright Eugene Ionesco and the toe-tapping, finger-snapping rhlthms ofyour best off-Broadway show These disparate dramatic elements com€ together in "Titus Andronicus: The Musical," a liberal interpretation of Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy currently enjoying a revival at Denver's Buntport Theatre.

The Denver-based theatre company has devoted itself to pushing the boundaries of comedy and dramatic convention since 1998, with plays and skits that are rooted simultaneously in a highbrow literary tradition and an uninhibited silliness. The Buntport's productions have incorporated subjects ranging from the angst-ridden German novelist Franz Kafka to the Greek epic poet Homer.

For those who have had an aversion to lofty language and long-winded Shakespeare's intrigue, the Buntport Theatre's impertinent spin on one of the Bard's most melodramatic plots is both refieshing and redemptive. The y/itty asides,striking sight gags, and brilliant feats of physical comedy breathe life into what is traditionally viewed as Shakespearekmost unoriginal tragedy. The five players display a consummateenergyand enthusiasmasthey take on multiple roles and laboriously move their one piece of scenery a converted Econoline van tlat servesas the cent€r of action. This creativity and endless innovation render the unlikely parody entirely natural, as if Shakespeare had rewritten the ancient Roman drama specifically as a comedic vehicle.

And, of course,theret the music. The play's constant violence and high death toll make the original score all the more inappropriate and effective in its irreverence. In one of the drama's most traditionally taut and disturbing moments, the tide iharacter must have his hand amputated in order to appeasethe emperor. In the Buntportt send up, the tension is broken as the characters break into a tweaked version of "SomewhereBeyond the Sea." The troupe work out of a transformed warehouse, and the players expertly manipulate the intimate spaceto engagethe audience.

The viewers are exhorted to participate by the sheerimmediacy of the action. When the music sounds. it is as if one is at a casualconcert at a comfortable club. When the pitch of the players' voiceshit their heights,the onlookers are a forcible part of the action by their very proximity.

Finally, when the comedy finds its stride, creat-

ing a deft balance between the high minded and the profanely wacky, one cannot help but become immersed in the lunacy of it all.

It is in their expert fusion of high drama and sheer silliness, their uncanny ability to reconcile the polar opposites of the stagethat the Buntport troupe distinguishes itself as a group of comedians. This subde and elusive equilibrium is what mark the best comedy and the bestcomedians.The skill the Buntport players display in walking the line distinguish them not only as local notables,but as comedic performers worthy of national attention.

Titus Andronicus: The Musical! runs from January 14th to February 12th at the Buntport Theatre, 717 Lipan St., Denver. For more information, call 720-946-1388or go online at www,buntport.com

Abovq Buntport Theatr€ cast nember Brian Colonna plays P.S.Mccoldstien, l€ader of the mobile Van-O-Players troupe of thesbians. Although they pride thenselves on being able to perform any play ever written, they always end up perforning Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's bloodiest and least appreci.ted tragedy. To spiceup the drama, they add musical nurnbers.

Lft: Buntport cast members Erin Rollman, left, and Erik Edborg, right, play multiple roles in the play, often switching ft,om one character to another in the space of a single scene.

Roadrunners' threekeysto success Worthington,Morse and Ortner important to nation'sbest

by DonaldSmith TheMetroDolitan Metro was able to spread the holiday cheer to their opponents during the break, giving each a mark in the loss column on their way to a perfect l4-0 record.

The No.l ranked Roadrunners have been led by forwards Mark Worthington and Michael Morse, who, along with center Ben Ortner, averaged 51.3 of the team's85.6 points per game.

Outside of contributing collectively, these players have taken tums being the games'leading scorer in all but one game this season.

Guard Keith Borgan was the leading scorer in the Dec. 30 win over Florida Southern.

"We just juggle," Worthington said.

"Whoever has a good night ... We feed the hothand."

Worthington is the conference's second leading scorer,behind StephenBahl of Colorado Mines, averaging20.1 points per game.The sixfoot-eight Australian-born senior has become a dominant force for Metro.

He has not only picked up where last seasont leading scorer Luke Kendail left off, but has surpassedKendallt 13.5points a game and is the new main catalystfor the Runners' success.

Along with being an imposing offensive presence,Worthington is also fifth in the conference in steals (2.29 a game) and second on the team in blocls.

Despite his impressive achievements, Worthington stayshumble.

"I don't do it by myself," Worthington said.

"I've got guys passing rne the ball in the right position, guys setting screens for me. All I have to do is put the ball in the basketl' Ortnet the center of attention this season, has not just played well; he has excelled,going from unknown to unstoppable.

Last season,the then-junior could not crack the top 20 in the conference in scoring, rebounding or blocks, but all that has changed. The senior is now leading the conference in blocks (2.6a), third in rebounds (7.5) and is seventhin scoring( 17.3).

Finally, Morse has played a huge part in the team'ssuccess.Although he is their fourth leading scorer behind Borgan's 14.1 points a game, the 13.9-point-a-gameplayer has led the team in scoring twice and is a big contributor in many other areas.The power forward is ninth in steals (2.14), tlvelfth in three-point percentage(.483) and sixteenth in the conference in rebounding (6-1).

The trio have become the main ingredients of the offense and are part of the reason the Roadrunnersare shooting better than 50 percent fiom the field, 40 percentfrom behind the threepoint line and are the best team in the country.

However, three playersdo not make a team.

After all, there are nine more players on the roster, and Worthington, Ortner and Morse are awareof that.

"Our team is our bench," Morse said."They are just as important to us. Our bench is huge.

We feed off their emotions."

"They are really the unspoken heroesof our team,"Worthington added.

With that said,a few questionsarise. have gone ftom barely getting into the playoffs First, can the Metro woment team get its to barely being out half-court game together? of first place in the I ask this because in some games it looked Eastern division of like the team relied more on its speedand athletthe conference. icism than it did its own offerse (but when you For a team that have the best scoring offense in the conference, won only a dozen you can get away with it).

The team is currently first in points per game, assists and assists-to-turnover ratio; second in margin ofvictory; third in points allowed and fourth in rebounding and steals.But these stats were mostly against conference foes under .5o0 and non-conference opponents.

No. I Men's Basketbal (f +0,7-{t RMAC) Lately there have been two teams that this campus could almost â&#x201A;Źxpect to be No. I sometime during their season: the woment soccer team and the merls basketball team.

Normally, both of tlrem would be dominating, but unlike the women's soccer team, the teams that have the ment basketball team on their hit list might have a chance of beating them this season.

Colorado Christian, Nebraska-Kearney and Colorado Mines would love to be the first one to put an "ll on the Roadrunners' schedule.

Although the Roadrunners are No. I in the nation, conference foes may see a ray of hope because Metro isnt the statistical juggernaut they were last season.

The Roadrunners don't lead in points per game, steals, rebounds, rebound margin, block and assist-to-tumover ratio; all statistical categoriesthey not only led in, but dominated last season.These stats raised a few questions.

First, forget winning the whole thing; can Metro avoid being upset before the conference tournament? The team is third overall in points per game and rhey break even in the rebound margin column, so teams may try to outscore or send both forwards to crash the boards as Metro's stats could make teams believe they can out-rebound the'Runners.

The bright side of this is that Metro is second (to Regis,but probably will be first in two weelts) in points allowed, so Metro's defense is still stingy, but it might not be enough to hold off Keamey, Christian and Mines- Finally, can Mark Worthinglon carry this team?Not as if he has to now' but later this season.when this team getsinto the playoffs,they will need someoneto step up and take over a game.

Ben Ortner, rvhot had a great season,may take over a game on the defensiveend, but I'm not sure about the offensiveside.

Michael Morse, who had that 6-for-6 from behind the arc game againstCSU-Pueblo could, but he might be called to play more of a grindit-out kind of game in the post.

Metro has the ability to r^/in it all-no one doubts that-but if they are to win it all, someonet going to have to be able to take over a game offensively.So,given the choice,I'd put my money on Worthington.

Metro has much to celebrate because it hasn't had a bad team all year long and it could get evenbetter if they win some gamesand quiet some critics, including me, for once.
