The issue comes at a time when the Auraria Higher EducationCenter is looking for $17 million fiom the studentsto cover controlled maintenance,Hay said. He said if the buildings are sold, the sale should benefit all three institutions on campus,not iust one.

"Selling these buildings under market value is the loss of a campus assetat the sametime the campusis seekingto get more moneyin feesfrom the students,"Hay saidin an e-mail."There are many questionsabout the transactionleft unanswered,such as the transparencyof the sale,the actual equity valueof the buildingsand the lack of participation on behalf of the Auraria Foundation to help with the maintenanceneedsof the campus."

The board held the specialmeetingwith CU and CCD leadersFeb.25 to discussthe sale and its impact. The board has requested that the salebevetoed

by Gov. Bill Owens, thines that citing that the sale is so much below value it would compromise Auraria's responsibility to all three institutions on campus. For the sale to go through, Owens would have to approve Senate Bill 130, which also allots money for building projectsfor other state servicesand institutions. The bill was approvedby the legislatureFeb.21.

Hay also circulated a petition around campusto gather signaturesrequestingthat the governor halt the deal. According to Hay, a little more than 200 signatureswere obtainedin one day,Feb.24, and the governor has until March 7 or 8 to either veto or

by DmitryRashnitsov The N,letrooolitan The second annual One

Denver project kicked off Feb. 24 with the unveiling of this year'snovel "Caramelo"by SandraCisneros.

Not to be confused with the popular Denver Nuggets player, "Caramelo" is a vibrant tale of family, culture, history and acceptance,DenverMayor John Hickenlooper wrote in a letter.

Cisneros,who spent nine yearsworking novel, takesa on this semi-autobiographical look at a young girl named Lala,who explores her family's rich Mexican heritage.

"Reading great literature provokes us to examinethe world around us and broadens our perspective,"Hickenlooper wrote about the significanceof the project. "Talking about books with friends, family and neighbors adds richnessand depth to the experience."

The original literacy program was started by a librarian in Seatde and has quickly spreadto many cities acrossthe country.

The program encourages citizens in Denver to read the same book and get involved with it in their community through discussionsand other events.

'The purpose of the project is to build a stronger community to bring peopletogether over a great work of literaturg'said One Book, One Denver project manager Tiffany Q. Tyson.

by MayaSalam TheMetrooolitan Students and teachersfrom 55 Colorado high schoolsvisited the statecapitol to learn about the mediaaspart ofStudent Legislativâ‚Ź EducationDay Feb.25.

SLED,a full day of eventsaimed to give Colorado studentsa hands-on approachto how Colorado'sgovernmentwork, included a 4s-minute workshopwhere four members of the local pressspoke to students.Chris Fratesand Christine Thtum of The Denyer Post,Jim Tankersleyof the Roclq Mountain News and StevePaulsenof The Associated Press spoke to students about the press' role in government,about the changingface of journalism and about the importance of balanced reporting while answering questionsfrom the students.

"The media is in an extremestateof flux right noq" Paulsensaid.

Broadcasters are writing for newspapers, news reporters are writing for television and the Internet has created a whole nelv dtnamic, he said. Paulsen,who has been in

the businessfor 40 years,sharedwith the room how this technologyhas expandedhis ability to coverlegislativeissues.

"You dorlt haveto wait'till the next day," Paulsensaid.

The capabilityto listen to five committee meetingsat oncevia the Internet meansthat the information from eachmeetingcanbe on the newswire within minutes.he said.

This degree of technology "has forced the AP to reevaluateitself;" he said. News servicesare aware that to entice an audience they should aim to provide a multimedia presentation,not just a story or a photo.And despitethe speedof the news,reporting an unbiasedstory is as important asever.

One hardcore rule is that it has to be balanced,Paulsensaid. It is important to ask,"What does this story need?What do I haveto put into this story to make sureit is balanced?" he said.

A student from Thornton High School asked Paulsen if other countries see Kristin Skvorc / The Metropolitan American reporting as unbiased.Paulsen, Steve Paulsen, a local government reporter for

The Boiler Room had been the campus' lone full-service bar for severalyearsuntil the businessfailed to pay its leaseand shut down in the summer of 2fi)3.

Simmonssaid at leastone vendor had concems over TIrc Boiler Room spacelacking the proper equipment and environmeot iD which to operatea restaurant.For example,there are no vents and no equipment or ploper s€t-up for a full-scrvice restaurant,The Boiler Room only used a microwave,Sirnmons said.

"Oh! too convincing- dangerouslydear-.

In woman'seyethe unanswerabletear!"

OPrNror{s And the rich eat you

- l,ord Byron (1788- 1824),The Corsair(1814)

Heard in passing at the south end of the Tivoli on a beautifirl Thursday after"Insurance noon: sucks!" WelI, yes, it does, and I'm here to tell you that if you paid for the 'mandatory'' insurance here on campus, YOU Columnist WERE ROBBED! First, because,as an adult I dont like the idea of being told that I haveto carry insuranceat all, and second, becausethe policy here on campus pretty much qualifies asworthless.

Insurancecompanies,as a general rule, make billions of dollars in profit each year.

Yes,thatk billions with 1l zeros.They are able to do this becausethey are allowed to do things no other businessin Americacan.

Auto insurancecompanies,for instance, are allowed to charge you more money if you're under 25-thatt age discrimination.

They can also chargeyou more becauseof whereyou live, and they can adjusttheir rates basedon whether or youve had a lapse in coverage.

Insurancecompaniesareableto stackthe deck so much in their favor they end up paying out only a smallfraction of what they take in. Plus,you pay (and pay,and pay) for insurance,but wen if you never make a claim you don t get any kind of refund. They rarely, if

the insuranceis costingyou the $1,098plus whatever your 20 percent of the total cost of the hospital stay comesto.

The doctor then sendsyou home with a whole pad of prescriptions. The first thing you'll be faced with when you get to the pharmary is yet another deduaible. Now youll fork over $200 before the insurance companypays a dime. Thatt $200 per year; it doesrit roll over, you start eachyear having to pay $200for prescriptiondrugs beforethe insurance even kicks in. Plus, after you pay that extra $200,you still haveto pay a co-pay of $15 for generic or $40 for brand-name drugs-and that's per drug, not per order.

Hit the adding machine again and you come up with anywhere from $1,200 to $10,000 (the insurance company's cap on how much you pay, per year, out of pocket) for insurance that only coversyou from the first day of the semesterto the last day before the next semesterstarts (roughly 15 week).

This meansthat if you currently have insurpayfor the insuranceon campusbecause aside ancethrough the school, it will coveryou only from the $598per semesterthey extort from until May 30. If you donl take classesthis you thereare a rnyriad of deductiblesand co- summerand you don't pay for the insurance, paysinvolved,resultingin more money that you're not covered. comesdirectly out of your pocket.

Insurance is a crap-shoot for both the Here's an example, sing along if you insurance companiesand those of us who know the words. Say you have to go to the pay for it, but the way things are set up in hospitalfor pneumoniaand you haveto stay this country the insurancecompanies'dice is for a week.You'vealreadypaid $598 for the loaded and they'll alwaystake in billions more insurance, but they only cover 80 percent than they'll everpay Lut. of the cost of your stay and that's after you Thatt not just bad business,it's criminal pay an up-front deductibleof $500.So now and itt worsethan beingrobbed. ever,lower your rates, even if, like me, you've never had an accident that was your faultmine was a hit-and run, which they can't considerto be the fault of the victim-usually they just raise your rates under the guise of "increasedoperatingexpenses," And there is the "Deductible," which is essentially the insurance companies' way of making you pay for the whole product without actually having to deliver the whole product.

Threeyearsaheadof the times On September 15, 2OOZduring an interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press,Hillary Clinton wasaskedif shewould run in 2008. Hillaryt resPonse no plans to run for DanielleRobinson President." My, how times have dranged!

Columnist Noq Hillary Clinton is trying to position herself toward the center on the issues such asdefense,and homeland security.Someof us can seethrough this drarade as a transparent attempt to position herself for a 20O8run.

We are, right now' three years away from the Presidentialprimary for both Republicans and Democrats. Didnt we just have an election? Boy, how time flies! Who will be the front-runners for both parties? Will the Democrats continue their lurch to the left with Howard Dean leading the way? I think the Dean Scream during the Democratic primary brought him down. Of course, no one will know until the time comes,but 2008 lools like it will b€ fun and both sides are gearing up right now.

Dick Morris, formir campaign advisor for BilI Clinton, beliews the 2008 Presidential campaign will come down to Hillary Clinton

and Condi fuce. A showdown "that could shake up American Politics." Is Condoleezza Rice the only Republican who can beat Hillary? Many believe she is. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeingCondi beat Hillary. I can't jump the gun on this issue,though.Therearemany namescoming down the pipeline for President in 2008.PresidentBusht brother and Florida Govemor Ieb Bush,has beenmentionedas a possible candidate.Governor Bush, has been quoted as saying "I'm not running in '08.

Period:' But the election is only four years away so he could changehis mind.

Another possible candidate is Governor Pataki of New York, though I find it hard to conceive of New York becoming a red state to elect a Republican for President any time soon. The Former Mayor of New York City, Rudi Giuliani has also been mentioned as a possible candidate as well. Both of these men are considered moderate Republicans.I would be willing to vote for Giuliani if he was the Republican nominee. However, there are some issuesthat may preclude Giuliani from running. First, his marriage problems dont really represent Republican values. Second, the whole Bernard Kerik issue for Homeland Security did not reflect well on Giuliani's judgment in personal issues. Both parties will have an interesting race for President in '07 when the primaries start up. John Edwards.who to me would havebeen a better

candidatein 2004, might run for President again. If fohn Kerry runs, he most likely worlt makeit past the primaries.In my opinion he performed horribly during the 2004eleaion and he couldn't figure out where he stood on half the issues,hencewhy he was coined a 'flip-flopper."

Well I can'twait for the 2008Presidential election.With all the namesfloating around for both sides, this race will probably go down in history as one of hardest fought races, next to the 2000 and 2004 elections.

If Hillary Clinton runs, the country will see a brutal fight for the top position. There will most certainly be a run on paper shreddersat office supply storesso asto destroy any Papers that reflect Hillary's "true" viewpoints on the issues.

The only Republican who looks like she can beat Hillary is Condi Rice. Whoever decides to run for either side, both parties must be ready to stand up and fight for their candidate.Republicansneed to get down and dirty and fight for what America stands for.

The 2fi)6 mid-term elections could well be a forerunner of what is to come.

Let'shope the Republicansare able to pull off another upset like they did in 2002 and 2004,or this country will go into a downward spiral with the Democrats in contnol. God help us dl if that happens!

'Some Push Back' People good What's forthe goose isgood for.,.

ZoE Williens Columnist Every pundit, media moron, and tighty-righg politician has been ranting and raving about the now infamous Ward Churchill essay"Some PeoplePush Baclc On the Justice of Roosting Chickensi written immediately {ollowing the Septernber11,2001 attacla on the United States.

As they rant about Professor Churchill's race and source of income, misquoting the essayall the while, few have dared to argue the essayin full conte,ft.

We know rightwingers donl like choice Churchill's of words, but they have done so ltde to argue Churchill's thmry that, after several ccnturies of oppression and war, a large-scaleattack----â‚Źnact of war and not terror-against the United Stateswas bound to occur. Wasn't it?

Chur<:hill used some harsh words to describethe intentions and the individualstargetedon 9/l l. I find it relativelyeasy to say that Churchill's statements were sticks an,l stones compared to the tens of thousands of bombs the United States has dropped on countries overseasfrom fapan to Iraq and the generous portion of cruelq' servedup to Native-Americans, African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Arab-Americans and every other racial minority domestically.

It is lime we ask ourselvesvery honestly if the attacks on the United States on September ll were unreasonableacts of terror, then what has the United States military l>eendoing all the while?

If terrrorism is an illegal act of violence to intimidate a government, than r.nhatwas the illegal war against Iraq? If the'illegal' attacks against the United Stateson Septemberl l count as ururder, then what are the deaths of Iraqis currently in our illegal war?

Self defense is a natural reaction to being attacked- Professor Churchill said it, Ghandi said it and the National Rifle Association saysit, If you do not want people to violendy defend themselves,do not attack them.

As Churchill said, you do not endorse or decry human instinct, it just happens that way.

Peoplefrom the Arab world havebeen under siegeconsistently over the past few decades,and they finally pushed baclc When you havethe AssistantSecretary General of the United Nations Dennis Halladay stating that the bombings of the sewageand water facilities that killed one million Iraqis in l99l was (as quoted by Churchill) "a systematic program... of deliberate genocidei how can we expect people not to fight back against such a slaughter of their entire culture and nation?

When the Secretaryof Sate Madeline Albright saysthat this act of genocidewas 'well worth it," how can we expect tb be treated as human beings?

The United States, in gallant imperialism, does not typically fight wars in which there will be attack at home, as the nations are generally not wealthy and do not have one of the largest-funded militaries in the world.

They donl have planes equipped to drop bombs ftom 30,000feet in the air, so they improvise. They borrow a plane and take their own lives, striking the largest symbol of U.S. capitalism and the headquarters for U.S.militarisrn, Civilians and noncombatants died, just as they die in Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan. That is why war is bad, becausecivilians die.

Theret a dangerous double staadard on the table here. Dead children are bad when they are our children, the rest are vdid sacrifices to get what we want. I suggestthat the United Statestake some advice from Professor Churchill for its future endeavorsin foreigr policy.

'When I start hearing equal sorrow for those bnrwn skinned others out there dl"S i" the millions, maybe we'll get to someplacewhere all the children will be savedand all the people will be saved."

I stand firrnly behind Ward Churchill, not only becausehe has the right to say what he did, but becausewhat he said was right.

{F zsffi? + How Culpepperchanged my life The truth is,.I wasn't alwaysso upprry It's also tme that my hair wasnt alwap so silky and manageable.The fact that I have former Auraria C,ollegeRepublicanspresident George Culpepper to thank for both bears somearplanation .., It all started back in the fall of 2ffi3, when a guy named David Horowitz visited our campus, Actually, lett be fair about this: it started in the summer of 2003, when Mr, Horowitz cameto C,oloradoto meet with the state'sGOP leadershipand map out his strategyfor enacting an 'AcademicBilI of Rights' here.

Sinceprior to Horowitz's visit there had never been a proven caseof discrimination by a professorbasedon political ideology on the Auraria campus,it's a good thing they had George Culpepper.

After Horowitz's speechin Septemberof 2003,the newly-organizedACRs,led by George, wageda vicious campaign againstboth student leadersand faculty they consideredvulnerable to chargesof"ideological bias."By December,hearingswere convenedin the legislatureby one of the Senatorswho had attended Horowitz's summer '03 ABOR strategy session.It's worth pointing out that severalMetro students-including Culpepper himself-who testified about the 'daily discriminatiort' they endured for being conservativeson our campus subsequently receivedchoice internships with GOP lawmakers.

But for all the effort, money, and spectaclethat went into Davey Horowitz's ABOR campaign in Colorado, it ignominiously failed. Every allegation of bias in the classroom leveled against Dr. Meranto was debunked thorough investigations by MSCD administration. Moreover, students (disclosure: myself included) rallied in opposition to the College Republicansand their manufactured crisis. In late March of 2004,with even GOP legislators declaring ASOR to be "micromanagement at its worst," the bill was pulled in exchangefor a token agreementwith the schools to reaffirm their existing policies guaranteeingacademic freedom (note to ACRs:they are still printed in your student handbook).

Marxt often-quoted observation that history repeatsitsâ&#x201A;Źlf'first as tragedy then as farce" was bome out in the Fall of 2004, when George Culpepper's irnplosion in a frenzy of wil4 baselessaccusationsagainsta Native American student group more or lesstook care of that whole, uh, credibility thing.

So yes,I would like to take a moment to thank George,without whom this last year would have been a lot lessinteresting. And all thesenew friends I've met, who are united like never before to opposethe far right's age-oldwar on freedom ofexpression,both on and off campu+ I saythanls as well.

It's also gratiffing to seethat eventhough Georgehasleft our campus,his sty'e of lowbrow sbilling for the reactionary right goeson, right here in the Mels editorial section - althougb if Danielle Robinsonwants to makea careerout of it, a la Armstrong Williams, a creativewriting classor two would really help I realize I've come to the end without oplaining how knowing Georgehas given my hair sudr a supple,glowing bounce. Perhapsit's better to leavethat to your imagination.

Cordially, Alan Franklin, Junior and history maior at Metro.

FnaruRps Aday all his own:CheechMarin

by Armandollanzamres TheMetropolitan A new learler,a new inspirationto people, especiallythose of the Chicano/a persuasion, filled the seatsof St. Cajetant with his presence recendy,almostto the point wherethe fire code wasworth violrting. Actor,comedianand writer CheechMarin visited Metro on Thursday,Feb. 24. He was mrrdeProfessorFor a Day because his visit was part of the Richard T. Castro Distinguishedltsiting ProfessorshipMetro does annually,but his scholarshipand knowledgeof Chicano/aart could havedone that on its own.

Marin's visit rvasalso in coniunction with the kaving Aztlil exhibition at the Metro Center for VisualArL Marin didn't cometo campusto talk about his experiencr:sin Hollywood, but rather to enridr, teach and inspire people about the contribution and significanceChicano/aart has made in American culture, and its continuance to do so, The visiting professorship is designed to bring noable frgures of rhe Chicano/a community who have made significant contributions in the arts, lit€rature and civil rights, amongother things,to campus.

Marin was welcomed wirh a standing ovation by a s,tanding-room-onlycrowd of over 350,well overthe capacityof St.Cajetan's.

Thursday Feb.24 wasalso declaredCheech Marin Day by the City of Denver- for Marin

Hicker ooperwasunableto do it himself,former Denvermayor FedericoPeia wason hand to do the proclamation on behalfof the city.

'BecauseCheechMarin is so important, his lecture today was sdremely sensitiveand also very substantiveand very educational.I learned a lot listenilg to his lecture and it gaveme a better persp€ctiveon the depth of Chicano art and all that i't represents," Peia said.

An idea in Marin's lecture Pefra referred to was that it is difficult to pick a point where Chicano art ends and new artisti€ expression begins.

Marin'stalk alsoaddressed the contributions and the strivesChicano/aartistshavemadein art and he presented a slideshowof the Chicano/a art he hascollectedoverthe years.

'He has done a great serviceby collecting Chicano art himself and showing it around the country becausejust by doing that he is educatingthe broader American community about the power of our artists and the fact that we are a growing political, sociological and economicforcein the countryJPeia said Metro AdmissionAssociateDirector Miriam Tapia said it was only in mid-fanuary that Marin's visit was confirmed. She and the rest of the Castrovisiting professorshipcomminee workedquickly to geteyerlthing together.

Along with the regularattendeesfrom Metro and the campus community, there were also severalDenverareahigh schoolsinvited, 'We had 150 high school studentsattend," Tapiasaid "We got a greatresponsefrom people who attendedthe lecture,if only wehad spacewe could haveaccommodatedmore."

'So manyindividualswherethrilled. Cheech is not typically noted asa scholarand he left an inpact with the knowledgehe has of Chicano art and helped the studentsidentif widr that," Tapiasaid.'It wasinspiring for the rest of us to seehow Cheechimpactedthe peopleattending hislecture." , AlaIFda High Schoolt senior cla$*eme as a field trip and dejandra Atanda was one of t}te many studentswho identify themselves as Chicano/a. She said her parents are from Mexicoand shewasborn and raisedhere,which is similar to Marin's life. Aranda saidsheleft the eventwith the confidenceto go forward and take on the challengesshewill faceasa Chicanaafter shefinisheshigh school.

For tonight's outing into downtown Denver,I've chosen a tried-and-truebasecamp. Stella's Coffeehousehas served me as a social centet a late-night study haven and a general caffeine supplier for years, so it's only appropriate that our night beginsin its familiar space.

Aconverted house,Stella's exudesa homey andcomforting ambience;it's as if you're grabbingcoffee at a good friend's.

The local artwork and crammed bookshelvesthat fill the cafe add to this impression,filling out its independentfeel.

I arrive early in order to catch up on my homework and my caffeine intake. I settle in the back room, nursing a large chai and poring over my history textbook.Ofcourse, snippets of conversations drift amund the crowded room and reach my idle ears, simultaneously providing entertainment and distraction.

"What did Staceysay to Lindsey!?l I can't believe it!!!

Sheis sucha bitch!"

"I totally think I'm tailing that Anatomy course ... The cadaversin lab kind of freaked me out."

This, of course,is one of Stella's appeals.Unlike the chain coffee outlets where the conversation and clientele is bound to be as unifomr as the appearance,Stella's draws a unique mixture of young and old, hip and square, glamorous and gnmy.

Before I have a chance to make any significant progrcss in my reading, my companion arrives. We sit on the openair porch and briefly run over the pretminary plans for the evening. The band membersslafed to play in the Amsterdam (xrm are lugging equipment from their van and the caf€'s loyal army of smokers,undeterredby the brisk chill in the air, congr€galearcund the porch's overheadheaters.

It's a familiar scene for me. As a loyal pafon, many of my nights out have startedin the sameway, at the sameplace.

Sti[, tonight I'm curious as to the appeal of this humble coffeehousehrcked among suburbanhomes and high-profile rcstaurants.I wonder why so many faces reappear,why there seemsto be such fdelity among the patrons.

I ask Kirt Clausen, a 24-year-old UCD student and a regular customer,why he keeps coming back.

"Good friends, good coffee and drinks acrossthe steet," he answen. "I can't stand the Starbucks scene,I can't stand the way they use coffee for immense profit. They use free trade coffee (at Stella's) and it's locally brewed."

We carch the band's first song before we leave to keep a reservation. Silence in Contempt, a three-piece ensemble, plays a soothing and plaintive brand of acoustic rock that fits nicely into Stella'sgenialambience.

Finally, we're off in searchof morc live music, music of a different genre played in a more formal setting.

E:34P.M. DazzleResiaurantand I ounge.a3|)r.incoln .-..,...

1.$ t s t r r - -. ; l : 1 r lJlb have a reservationfor 9 p.rt at DazAe,Denvei'J newest and hippest ja?z Mecca.

For all practical purposes,there are actually two separate clubs, which coexist in one space.There is the front bar and lounge, where conversation goes unchecked and smoken mhgle among the crowd.

It is a typical downtown bar, and the acrylic portraits of jazz legends are the only indication of the club's specialty.

When we arrive, a curtain is drawn over the entrance to the back room and the muffled strains of tenor saxophonesleak through to meet us.

We have arrived eady and the owner tells us that we'll have to wait to be seated,a postponementthat only whets my anticipation. Indee4 as we saunter to our stools and order a round of Hefeweizen, the mystery of the curtained room and its appealbeckoru.

We cast a casualglance aroundthe room and note right away that the crowd is even more diverse than the one at Stella's. There arecouples in gaudy evening wear and twentysomethingssportingjeans and t-shirts.We even spot a young couple pushing their baby in a stroller.

After a l5-minute wait, our namesare called.I down the rest of my beer and hastily pay my tab ($9.20!). I am eagerto proceeddeeperinto the club, into its music and mysteries, The dimlyJit back room is spare in its furnishings; there are booths against the wall, small round tables on the floor and a moderately sized stage at the back, The room is filled to capacity;so we sharea booth under a portrait of Art Blakey with a young couple from Colorado Springs.

The band startsits set.There are three tenof saxophonists, a pianist, a bassistand a drummer.

My jaw drops as the first song proceeds. Every player is so gifted in their dual ability to stand out and provide musical support.Of course,this give-and-take,this melodic conversation, is part of the very essenceof jazz; it is both a soloist's art and the apogee of musical cooperation and altruism.

I look around the room and note the restrainedenthusiasm of the crowd. There is an overall respectfor the players' pru€ musicianship: conversation is kept at a minimum, every solo receivesits due round of applauseand patrons nod their heads and tap their feet in time with even the most complicated melodies.Unlike the front room, there is no smoking allowed.

Here, there is no haze to hamper the performance.

After an how-and-a-half set of stunning music, tlrc musieiansretire to a rousing round of appliause.

I approachthe pianist, Eric Gunnison,who briefly explains the appeal of the club.

"For kve jazz,Dazzle's the place to play," he asserts."It's a good listening, smoke-free environment with rnanagement thar appreciatesthe music."

We wander out of the club, still dazed by the expert performances.I'm gratefii that Denver hasthis venue, a place where musical skill is respectedand givan free rein. It's had to irnagine a topper to such an expert perfonnance,but we'll try.

It's time to headto the bars,

11:15P.Nl.The Bar Scene Sputnik. 7 S. Broadway & Rarryls 58 S. Broadw4v Over the pastyear,Sputnik hasbecomeone of my regular hangouts.It seemsthat every time I go, I run into someoneI know from ,A.uraria.Its decorative memorabilia and vintage feel lend a his,toricalquality,lothe bar and,unlike its sisterbar and neighborthe Hi-Dive, it chargesno cover.

Apparentiy, its appealhas caught on.

We arrive to find a full housewith no free seatsand hardly enough room to wade through the throng, There is a DJ with a musical tast.efor the nostalgic and a kitchen that servestasty sweet potato fries. Unfomrnately, the bar's too crammed to circulate. As the Chi-Lites sing sweedy over the amplifiers, we push through the crowd, looking for familiar faces.

After a b:ief and fruitless search,we decide to try our luck elsewhere.

We cross the street to Barry's on Broadway, the bar that hastakenthe placeofthe old Skylark.As soonaswe enter,we arehit by an ,)ppressivelack of character.It's a Saturdaynight, and the plact:is only a quarterfull.

We sip on PBRs and exchangeexpressionsof distaste as the soundsof Big Head Todd, U2 and Pat Benetar float through the smoky air. Our conversationebbs as yawns interruptour words.The blandnessof this bar is contagious.

My companionfinds a novel way to amusehimself.

"I'm going to send random text messagesto people," he declares as another vapid hair-rock tune booms from the intemetjukebox.

The experiencetaints our taste for the bars and we decideto skip directly to our final destination.It's beena full evening,but our stomachsareempty.We decideto end at one of Denver'sfinestall-niehteateries.

On this night, there is a good mix of raucousteensand grimy old men, but no excitementas we place our orders.

Although a lamp breaksand we have a brief hope of some ensuingconflict, the drama dies down quickly and normalcy retums.

Our middle-agedwaitress,sporting an all-too-revealing pair of hot pants, arrives with our food, We fall into silent ingestionandobservation.

As I munch on my greasy croissantsandwich,I reflect on our night on the town. Its high points were inspiredmore by music and ambiencethan by alcohol, more by the city's blooming cultural scenethan by its bars.

With its boomingpopulation,Denver'sartsaredeveloping accordingly,and like New York and Califomia, its tolerance for smokersis waning.

I look at my thinly transparentreflectionin the window facing Speer.The face staring back seemsmore somberthan when I smokedcigarettesand drank coffeehereasa teenager, and I wonder if my tastesare being transformedby the fact I'm gettingolder.

I wonderif my preferencefor a smoke-freejazz club over a loud andcrowdedbar is morerevealingofmy own personal agingprocessthan it is of any city-wide trend.

Still, I get the feeling that downtown is on the vergeof a cultural shift, a pushtowardthe high-browand away from the provincial.

But hey, it was only one night out on the town; another foray into Denver's nocturnal world could have lead to an entirely different conclusion. Ultimately, it's that very unpredictabilitythat makesexploringthe city so enjoyable.

11:45P.M. The Denver fliner. 740 W. Colfax Ave. The Denver Diner is a place of urban legend.I recently heard tales of a fully-grown man doing the worm in the waiting area and a uniformed policeman serving customers coffee.

My hopes for some strangesight are high as we push pastthe metal doors;the seedyColfax diner always seemsto attractdowntownDenver'sstrangestdenizens.

Of course,I've seenmy own spectaculadystrangesights for me, this at the diner, but more than a stagefor spectacles, As soonas I sit in one restaurantalwaysrecallsadolescence. of thosefilthy booths,I'm a teenageragain, reveling in my newfound power to drive and buy cigarettes.

"Damn Yankees"is aboutbaseball,but ... not exactly.

The title foreshadowsthe subject matter only to a certain degree.To get a senseof the subject, one must take the pemiciouspassionof a devotedbaseballfan and blendit with an existentialdilemma.

The dilemma, however, is a realistic account of each individual's earthly struggleto remain intact with his or her inner voice. This dilemma is solved by paying the highest possible price- sacrifice of love and family a-straditional pillars of one'smoral standing.

Falling in the musical-comedygenre, "Damn Yankees" premieredon May 5, i955 at the 46th StreetTheatrein New York and ran for 1,019performances.

DouglassWallop's novel "The Yearthe YankeesLost the Pennant"was the main inspiration for the musical. Wallop, in collaboration with George Abbott, a talented actor and Broadway director, adaptedthe novel into the well-known script andAbbott directedit.

Jerry Ross and Richard Adler were invited to write the music and the lyrics. The duo had gainedpopularity and had won several awards for writing the score for another hit "The PajamaGame," also directed by Abbott.

Metro theater studentsDâ&#x201A;Źrformed"Damn Yankees" at the

The musical could be perceived as a tale about a casual life marked by an overpowering passionfor baseball.Its main character, Joe Boyd, is a loyal fan of one particular team -The WashingtonSenators.That team,in the long history of the AmericanLeague,becamea lovableoutcast.

In his forties, and throughouthis life, he had dreamedof playing for the Senators.On one memorableevening,while watchinghis favorite teamagainloseto the Yankees,Joesays he would sell his soul to the devil if only the Senatorswould win.

In a split second,illuminatedby a subtlered light, appears Applegate,a mysteriousstranger.'l-hestrangerpromisesJoe that, for the price of his soul and to neverreturn home to his belovedwife Meg. he will becomethe besthitter and pitcher and lead the Senatorsto victory.

Joe Boyd becomesJoe Hardy, a 22-year-old baseball star, who gets famous and rich ovemight, but deep inside his conscienceis troubled -he left home without a trace. he misseshis wife and is suddenlyhaving doubtsaboutwhat really mattersin his life.

Eric Lupher, whose performance is powerful and emotionallycharged,plays JoeHardy.Thanksto his soothing voice and skillful singing, the lyrics, the music and the sets, there is for a moment a feeling that the atmosphereof an authenticBroadway show has been re-createdon the King

coilllcs

Center'sstage.

Mr. Applegate, the Devil who lured Hardy into fame, is not a negative character.In sync with the overall comic tone of the musical, he is a little silly, playful, and almost goodhearted. Daniel Langhoff portrays him with great energy; his performanceextractedthe most laughs from the audience.

Another character, Lola, is a beautiful witch who uses all her charmsto caplureJoe's heart.She is introducedwhen Applegateis absolutelydeterminedto keep Hardy away from his wife.

Tiffany Glucksman sings and dancespassionately,and sometimesusesa bogusSpanishaccentto add to the comedy.

ChoreographerMarilyn L. Cohen has done a great job creatingoriginal choreography.

Oftenalludingto the age-oldFaustianthemeof ithedeal with the devil," the musicalis intertwinedwith the post-war all-American value-struggle,amid fears of the spread of communismand nuclearwar.

Whateverthe inter?retation,on stageat the King Center there is simply a human being fighting to overcome his nature.

The big hit to come out of the musical,"You Gotta Have Heart" characterized the spirit of the Metro performers and crew-all put their heartsinto the production and the result was one unforgettableexperience.

"Damn Yankees"will run March 3-5 at 7:30 p.m. and March 6 at 2:30 p.m. at the EugeniaRawls CourtyardTheatre in the King Center.

In truth, Terqy'ssongwriting method isn't far removed from that scenario.

'I write all the songs off melodies that come in and out of my head. Usually I dont 'If write them down," Terry said. I remember it, I know it's good enough."

That probably helps explain how Aqueduct's songs manage to be so insanely catchy. By the time they reach the listener, his melodies have been through a processof natural selection that only the strongestsurvive. Eachone that makesit into a song is, by definition, memorable.

home at finishes strong Metro 'Runners

redeem crush themselves, Orediggers72-49

by Elin Otter The Metrooolitan

The No. 3 men's basketball team did not give much to their opponents over the weekendas they blew out Colorado School of Mines 72-49and ColoradoChristian90-76.

With the two wins, the Roadrunners (233, 16-3RockyMountain Athletic Conference) secureda third seedin the 2005 RMAC Wells Fargo Shootout, which began on Wednesday, March 2. Metro's 23 regular season wins will probably secure a bid to the National CollegiateAthletic Association Tournament.

On Feb. 25, Auraria Events Center was filled with 1,106 spectatorshoping for an exciting game between Metro and Mines (10-9, 16-11RMAC). When the teamsplayed eachother earlier this season,the Orediggers walked away with the victory. This time, the outcomewasdifferent.

"It feels good, you know," said senior forward Mark Worthington. "Wdre all disappointed that we lost to them the first time."

From the start, the'Runners took command of the game.Metro was on a roll and earneda nine-point lead at halftime (31-22), although neither of the teams scored more than .400 in the half.

While the 'Runners took advantageof most of their chances,Mines did not. The Orediggers'Farris Broussardmisseda dunk and RMAC high-scorer Stephen Bahl looked tense.

The most notabledifferencebetweenthis meet and the last wasthe Roadrunner defense.

Metro head coach Mike Dunlap applied a man-to-man defenseand Mines' main threat Bahl was held to a mere seven points, com-

paredto his average21.8points per game.

"We kind of switched our defense up a little bit and it really paid off for us," said senior guard Keith Borgan."

Borgan and Worthington were the Roadrunner'shigh scorerswith 16points each.

Borgan also had a game-high five assists.

Saturdap Feb. 26, it was Colorado Christian ( I l-8, 19-8 RMAC) who visited "The Nest." Like the day before, Metro took charge of the game from the start and never Iooked back. The Roadrunners pulled ahead and by the 5:30 mark, the team had createda comfortablel5-point lead (20-5).

Maybe the 'Runners felt a litde too comfortable as the C,ougarsslowly worked their way back into the game.At I 2:5I , the lead had shrunk to three (33-3) and Dunlap called a time-out. The time-out sparkedthe playersas Metro pickedup its gameand took a l0-point lead (47-37). Christian replied with two quick bu&ets and a block and reduced the halftime leadto six (47-4I).

Metro cameout firing in the secondhalf, increasingthe lead.A dunk by seniorforward Ben Ortner at 4:09 put Metro up by 16 (5943). Right after, Ortner qrme up with two 'Runnersa breakaway,and blocks,giving ttre junior guard Greg Muth made no mistakeas he hit a three-pointbucket (62-43).

For the crowd of 1,090, the game did not get more thrilling than that. The closest Christian came was within 12, with 18 seconds remaining. Ortner scoreda game-high 22 points and had a game-highfive blocks. "l think we had a really good team effort," Ortner said. "We had a couple of patches where we struggled on defense,but I think we recoveredwell from those."

Third seed Metro will play sixth seed Colorado Christian on Wednesday,March 2, as they host the first round of the RMAC Tournament.The gameis setto stafiait7 p.m. at the Auraria EventsCenter.

Bradley Wakoff / The Metropolitan "Playoff time ... Itt always an exciting time," Ortner said.
