Gov. Bill Owens vetoed part of a bill that included the controversial sale of two buildings to the University of Colorado last week.

Owens line itemed, or vetoed a part of, SenateBill 05-130, which would have allowed the Auraria Foundation, a nonprofit group, to sell two buildings located at 1380LawrenceSt. and 1250 14th St., to the CU system for t32.4, a price Metro's Board of Trusteeshas said is severalmillion dollars under market value.

'At a time when higher education officials daily worry over the state'sability to pay fo.r controlledmaintenanceon its existingbuildings, I am concemedthat it may not be in the best interests of the state to take ownership of two more commercial office buildings," Owenssaid in a letter to the Colorado Senate orplaining his reasonfor the veto.

The governor said that the use of the buildings for higher education makes sense, but that before they are sold "the options of Iease-purchaseor continued leasing need to be fully explored."

Owens said in the letter that he's concerned that there were nwer full public hearing in the Capital Development Committee or elsewherein the legislature regarding SB 05- I 30. ln fact, the specificprovision pertaining to the sale of the buildings wasnt added to the bill until the second reading in the secondhouse, Owenssaid.

The governor's letter also cited as a reason for the line-item-veto how the governing boards of Metro and CCD voted unanimously to oppose the provisions of the bill. Mark Salley,deputy presssecretaryfor Gov. Owens, said the goyernor would not comment further on the situation beyond his letter.

CU representativesdid not return calls seekingcomrnent.

Metro Student Trustee StephenHay said he was happy about the governor's decision especiallyafter he circulateda petition around campus for the very purpose of influencing the governor, The petition was circulatedon only Feb.24, but still managed to garner over 200 signatures.Hay said there werejust too many questionsleft unanswered surrounding the saleof the two buildings.

'I am not necessarily opposedto rallying for it (the sale),it wasthat therewasso much in question and there was no discussion about the saleof thesebuildings," Hay said.

He said if the foundation and CU want to pursue the salethey may, but if they do they should let the full market value be known and it should be discussedas a campus community.

Going back to square one, exploring all possible alternatives and seeingwhat makes the most senseis the priority of the Auraria Foundation, said Dean Wolf, Executive Director of the Auraria Foundation, According to Wolf, the foundation board will meet within t}te next week and decide where they want to go with the future of the two buildings.

"I think we just need to back up and take a look and seewhat options are thereJ Wolf 'Make said. the best decision in light of all parties concerned."

Hay said the sale may not be such a bad thing for the campusaslong asall three institutions' best interestswere keot in mind.

With the semesterin the final stretch and the 20-month presidential search possibly coming to a close, Metro still faces several challenges,the most eminent appearingto be the exponential growth of the student body.

Listening to the movers and shakerstalk about the state of Metro or "the school of opportunities," one may be left with a feeling of optimism.

Board of Trustees Chairman Bruce Benson,Interim PresidentRay Kieft, Faculty SenatePresidentHal Neesand SGAPresident CandaceGill all foreseepositive things for the downtown school despite the current higher education climate in the state and unsettled internal issues.

Along with other state collegesand universities,Metro is facingharshbudgetrestrictions due to a tight state budget. Cuts across tlte spectrum have been made. Metro has lost at least $5 million in the last three years.

More locally, for over 20 months, Metro has been led by an interim administration.

When Sheila Kaplan steppeddown and Kieft steppedin, the agreementwasfor six months.

Kieft, who applied for the permanent position in the Fall semester,withdrew his name from the top-secret list last month. A solo finalist was named on March I l. Stephen Jordan, president of Eastern Washin4on University visited the campus on March 15.

One of the more recent plights the campus bossesare facing is controlled maintenance, or regular upkeep of buildings.

The Auraria Higher Education Center, the organization responsible for the upkeep of the campus also experiencedmassivebudget cuts to the tune of $12 million. The cuts led to a loss in controlled maintenancefunding.

AHEC officials publicly spokeout in October about maintenance problems that need immediate attention. The roof of the Plaza Building, for example, needs to be replaced within the next couple of years.AHEC's budget calls for $16.5 million in total repairs.

Finalist hastiesto Colorado, campus

by DmitryFashnitsovand ClaytonWoullard TheMetropolitan The man who could be Metro president has helmed the top post at a university in Washingtonstate,but his academiccareeris rooted in Colorado, and even the campus.

Iordanwasborn in PuertoRicoon a military base,but his family ended up setding the Denver area. He graduated from Douglas County High School in CastleRock.

The current presideni of Eastern Washington University then earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Northern Colorado in l97l and a master'sdegreein financial administration from UCD in 1979.

From 1971until 1980,Jordanworkedfor the state of Colorado in various positions from ResearchAssociate to Budget Analyst for Higher Education.

In 1980,Iordan receivedhis first iob with a university when he became tJle assistant secretaryto the University of Colorado board of regents and attendant instructor for the CU Graduate School of Public Affairs, Three yearslater, fordan started a tenure at the Universitr of Colorado Health and

Sciences centerthat includedthe position of Vice Chancellorfor Budgetsand Facilities.

He returned to UCD to obtain his Ph.D. in public administration policy analyst.

On top of that, his wife, Ruthie, who helped in the decisionto apply for the job, grew up in fulesburgand their son,Douglas, lives in Elbert County.

"It's actuallynot at all a careerdecisioni Jordan said to The Easterner,EWU's student newspaper."Our grandchildren are very important to her, we have some in Scottsdale and Denver with all of her friends living in the Boulder-Denver area."

From 1989 until 1998, the 56-year-old spâ‚Źnt time working on the board of regents in both Arizona and Kansasbefore being named the president of EWU, where he also was a professor of public administration in graduatestudies.

"In my present role as President of EasternWashin4on University, I havehelped to shape and implement our mission, which is careerpreparation, underpinned by strong liberal arts, so that our students will leave with critical thinking skills, analytic skills, communication skills and a real job opportunityi Jordanwrote in his coverletter for his applicationfor Metro president.

"The last seven yeilrs have been instrumental and the turnaround has been dynamic," said Barb Richey, EWU Director of University Relations. fordan has also been praised for bringing about several changes to EWU - located in Cheney, Wash., 17 miles ftom Spokane-- including saving the school from being bought out as a satellitecampus of Washington State University, expanding it from a commuter to a more residential campus and offering buyouts to tenured professors 55 or older with 20 yearsservice to the universiry "He's done so much," Richey said, "lncreasing enrollment, focusing on fund raising, strategic planning and exteinal relations to the community," Tlavis R Nichols, executiye president of the Associated Students of Eastern Washington Universiry said he believes Jordan really has done a lot for the school.

"Overall Dr. Jordanhasdone a wonderfrrl job here at EWU," Nichols said.'It's going to be very difficulty to replacehim."

Nichols credited Jordan in part for helping stirnulate growth on campus, making EWU the fastest growing school in

All faculty membershaveto meet specific requirementsbeforebeing hired, but thereis a concern on a national level that adjuncts are not committed to the institution where they teachbecauseof their uncertain future and low pay.

Some are concernedthat the increasing number of part-time faculry as a national trend might leadto low academicstandards.

For instance,some feel that no matter the excellentqualification of a part-time faculty, most of them lack the professionalor educational backgroundand experienceof tenure or the tenure-trackfaculry.

Are you a little Eichmann?

2o6 !9illiemr

"Now that I look bach I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and uking orders is a wry comfortable W ind.eed. Lh,ing in such a way reiluces to a minimum one's neeil to think" Adolf Eichmann.

Columnist

It has been nearly two months now. and Ward Churchill is still a household name, his "litde Eichmanns" quote echoing through the homes of suburbia as parroted

by Bill O'Reilly and the like. Two months is an awfirl long time to condemn someone without truly understanding what a 'litde Eichmann' is. Irt us seewho Eichmann was, and what it means to be a 'little Eichmann", shall we? . In 1933,(when Hitler wasa democratically electedleader,by the way),Adolf Eichmann joined the Nazi Party, according to Professor David Cesarani for the BBC, with no real desire to support the Nazis, even claiming that it was an error. Eidrmann simply needed a job.

Dr. Cesarani alsostatedthat Eichmannwas pot evenanti-Semitic, arguing that he actually treated the few Jewshe worked around with

rcspect. 'The fews were the enemy. He had nothing against them personally, but in war the enemy has to be destroyed," Cesarani explained.Eichmann was a patriot.

Eichmann was known as a "desk murderer," as it was not until 1941 that he had accessto any knowledge of where the Nazi agendawas heading, and never killed a single person with his own hands, only with paperwork Eichmann used what Cesarani called 'business methods to the handling of human beings,"carting them from Point A to Point B like "cargoesof kerosene."

Were Eichmann's actions hidmus, cruel, and inexcusable?Of course. He participated consciously in the mass slaughter of millions. What is possibly more horri$ing is that Eichmann was a human being, a quiet obedient man looking for a job, and turned into a massmurderer with no secondthought once he believed his country was at risk Hannah Arendt, a German journalist, sat in on Eichmann's trials in Israel during the 1960s.She later rurned her experience into a book,'The Banality of Evil," which Churchill references when speaking about Eichmann. She was shockedto seehow normal Eichmann was, a man with big glasses and a recedinghairline. He loved his country did well at his job, never got in trouble, loved his family, went to church, and was overall painfully average.

Following the trial, Arendt asserted,'The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so

many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadjstic,that they were, and still are, terribly and terriftingly normal.

From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standardsof judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together," So what is a "little Eichmann?"

Is it the Wall Streetwhiz kid making a killing off of killing? Is it the CIA with offices in the World Tiade Center plotting secretwars, coup de'tats, and arranging death squads?

Is it the Washington fat cats ordering and excusingthe torture and murder of Iraqis in memos?

Is it the military higher-ups in the Pentagon plotting to drop bombs on civilian populated areas in Iraq? Is it the weapons manufacturers that craft instruments of destruction, sure to kill Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, East Timorese, Colombians, Guatemalans,and countlessothers with great efficiency?Is it the,tax payerswho frrnd all of this camage in fear of a jail sentenceor our precious belongingsbeing repossessed?

You know, not to be redundant with Nazi references,but Hitler was hmous for something else besiiles murder; the squelching of,dissent. Hider purged the institutions of higher education of all professorsrefusing to take an oath ple{ging allianceto the homeland, according to lfietro's very own Dr. Don Wall. We have our "litde Eichmanns." Is this the next step?

Poll resultsshow firm graspof obvious A recent poll conducted by the University of Michigan found that six in l0 cell phone users say that using a cell phone in public can be a 'major distuaction." About four in ten-and these Tim Dunbar are actual cell phone users, rememberCollmnist said there should be a law against using cell phones in restaurants,movie theatersand other public places,Eight in ten said they feel cell phone usewhile driving is a major safety hazard. ] Numbers like theseare alwaysinteresting.

Do thesestatsmean that the other four in that six-in-ten stat find cell phones moderately disuacting, or not distracting at all? Are we to interpret that the six who dorit think there should be a law against using cell phones in restaurants,movie theaters and other public places think itt OK to use cell phones in those places,or is it that they just donl think it should be againstthe law?

Tell you what, we'll get back to that in a moment.

The survey also found that about eight in ten cell phone usen said the phones have made their lives easier,and that by comparison only six in l0 e-mail userssaide-mailhas made their lives easier.That bit of information was followed by a quote from Michael Tiaugott, a researcherat the University of Michigan'sInstitute for SocialResearch, who

said-and I quote-"These findings suggest Americans have mixed feelings about cell phone use."

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

I, on the other hand, do not have mixed feelingsabout cell phone use;I have one feeling disdain, and this is the part where I share

way more information than anyonewants, I understand that text messagingis, like, a really cool thing, too, and that some people canl live without the insant gratification it brings. I even understand that some people like to text messagewhile they're doing other things-walking, for instance-but for God's

some of that with vou.

I'm tempted to don a (from someone who had ulterior motives; pair of football pads and lay a shoulder into the logic was that if I had the phone, I would anyone who looks as if they're about to slam call more often.

It servesme more as a clock and a phone a law that prohibis people from talking on book than an actual phone, and I prefer it cell phones in public places.Well, at least not that way, a law per se,becauselet's faceit, oncewe start .I dorit seethe attraction of being available\regulating politeness and consideration and at all times to anyone who has nry number. ilnisni"g people for a having lack of those Some people like that sort of thing some things we open a Pandora'sBox of ugly, Big thrive on the attention they get and the spon- Brotherish possibilities. taneity wireless communication brings, and Instead,I'd like to seepeople take matters that's fine for some people.

MatlhewJonas / The Metropolitan

\\F" Scholars explore f ingui st'i c nuances, The Words:ctari fy connotations

by Adam Goldsteln The MetroDolitan Fanaticism.Fundamentalism.

These two words have gained a pointed prominence in post-9/ll America, finding a consummate place in our media coverage and a special nidre in weryday vocabulary. Despite their phonetic similarity, they connote entirely different expressionsof religious devotion.

On March 15, three scholars dehned and discuss€d these terms as they apply to various religions and to the modem Feminist movement. More specificallp the speakerso<plored how these separate religious expressions encourage or restrain equality between the sses.

In a panel discussion tirld 'Feminism, Fundamenalism and Fanaticism: The Changing Face of Feminism," Metro Political Science professor Oneida Meranto, Metro Philosophy professor loy Lapp and Egyptian Fulbright scholar Ikram Elsherif erylored how theseterms relate specifically to Islamic, Christian and indigenous cultures.

To begin the discussion, Meranto talked about her trips to Egypt and describedthe inspiration for the event.

"When I cameback (from Eglpt), I wanted to preparea panelon Feminism," shesaid.'I'm fairly upset at the wa)' that our media portrays not only Feminism, but also fundamentalism aud fanaticism and how we tend to use these terms interchangeably."

Meranto carefully defned the differencebetweentheseterms.

Fundamentdism, she sai4 is a religious movement emphasizing the literal infa[ibilitf of the tort---ruhether the Bible. the l(oran or the Torah. This is a movement or attitude stressingstrict adherence to a set of basic principles defned in a religious code.

"We usethis term in a very political

context,which l think is unfairi Meranto said.

As opposed to fundamentdism, 'ds a Meranto described fanaticissr religious adherencethat is uncritical and unwavering.

With these terms clearly de6ned, the speakersexplored their relationship to specific religions and the effect on equality.

Meranto spole about indigenous American religous practices, Before the arrival of European colonizers, she sai{ many native religions were both matriarchal and matrilineal. As colonizers encroachedon the continent, however,the statusof women changed, "Indigenous men were forced to perpetuate the same type of gender inequalrty that was practiced by the new Americans," Meranto said.

"Consequently,indigenous women were relegatedto an unfamiliar, inferior and often subjugatedposition."

Ikam Elsherif, an Egyptian scholar who specializes in literary studies, explored the role of fanaticism and fundamentalism in Islam. Elsherif was carefirl to make a clear distinction betweenreligion and culture, orplaining that the two issuesare often conflated. It is culture, she sai4 that is responsible for the subjugation of women in certain Muslirn countries, not religion.

'I come from a placewhere religion and culture is so mi:ad upi she said.

'Sometimes culture affects women, and people think that it's religion that's affecting them."

To illustrate this distinction, Elsherif gaveseveralexamplesof how the Koran encourages equality among the sexes, the basicprinciple of Feminism, and the esteemedrole of women in Islam.

For example, in the story of creation, Elsherif sglained that men and women were created of one spirit,

and equally distributed.

"If men and women irre createdof the samesoul, tlle samespirit, then that mEansthey are eciirali she saiil "fhiy come from the same origin and are divided equally."

Similarly, in the Koran, Adam is portrayed as the tempter of Eve,women have the right to choosewhether or not they will work and wives have the right to divorce their husbands.

The final speaker,Metro professor foy Lapp, explored Feminism asit relates to fundamentalist Christianity.

Christian fundamentalism, she explained, originated in the late 1800s in responseto the scientific challenges posed by such thinkers as Charles Darwin. Christian fundamentalists espouseda literal interpretation of the Bible, including all the messagesthat portray women as being subordinateto men. "Is there any hope for equality in this context?"Lapp asked.

She outlined four different ways of interpreting the Bible to deal with this question: the revisionist, the liberationist, the reconstructionist and the rejectionist methods. Revisionists read the Bible with an emphasis on the equality between the soas, Liberationists view the text in a specific way, looking for a'liberating currenL" Reconstructionists mainain that the Bible was written ftom a patriarchal point of view and seek to recreate the real role of women in the to<t. Finally, Rejectionists entirely dismiss the Bible asmisogynistic.

All of the sped<ers provided a detailedand eloquent view of spiritudity and religion while clarifying the impact on gender equality. The differences betweenfu ndamentalismand fanaticism arc sweepingin their social implications, impacting how we interact and how we view eachother.

FEATURES

hft: 'Tirnglewoodwhite Pine" by tamesBalog. Right "Vietnarnerican' by Chuck Forsman.

J[,slotely as il Tree... natural features Localgallery portraits penetrating wonders, Gallery review by HeatherWahle The Metrooolitan The treescatch rays of sunlight and stretch taller than the highest ceilings. All the seasonsare representedhere,from the bright yellow of fall to the deadeninggrays of winter.

You aren't walkilg 11u'outha makeshift natural forcst; instead, you are walking through the back room of a gallery in LoDo. Robischon Gallery has been located in the historic warehouse of Lower Downto$'n since 1976. The oldest art dealer in Denver, the gallery tends to exhibit high-end art gearedoward an affluent clientele. l.ocated near the Metropolitan StateCenter for the Visual Arts, Robischon is, at times, filled with starving art shldents just as frequently as the checkbook{oting connoisseur.The work of artists JamesBalog and Chuck Fonman areon display through April 9.

James Balog is a renowned wildlife photographer for National Geographic. Most of his previous work has focused on endangeredspecies in their natural habitat. He has also done some work with animals posed in a studio setting, presentingthem in a playful manner.

For the past six years,Balog hasundertakenthe ambitious task of documenting the oldest and tallest trees in America.

He has laken a unique approachto documenting thesenatural wonders.

Balog scalesa tree and takesmultiple shotsof an adjacent tree each tine he ascendsfifteen feet. He uses the multiple digital photos to document the horizon. This process is exhaustivetnd lasts approximately four hours.

Balog then spendslabor-int€nsiyemonthspiecing together the multiple shotsof trie€sin an almost neumtic placement He usesthe collages to display the overwhekning intensity of the 6ees atrd tbe surrounding envfuonment.The end result looks

like a completed puzde without the jigsaw shapes.

"Tanglewood White Pine" is a vivid portrait of a tree engulfed in bright yellow bloom. While the interlay of multiple prints distracts from the balanceof the piece, the symmetry of the placementleadsthe eye back to the center.The color draws you in; the detail mesmerizesyou.

Balog uses black and white in "American Elm," a good choice for this tree, but compar€d with his other work, this piece was weak.

He seems to work better with color; being a wildlife photographerhas obviously sharpenedhis technique. Balog's black and white pieces, although developed masterfully and taken with skill, lack eye-captivating contrast. He se€msto rely on the variance of color schemesto make his work stand out.

CU Fine Arts professor Chuck Fonman is best known for his western landscapes.Using a narrative approach, he paints scenesof nature with a slight twist. Forsman typically concentrates on one object that contrasts starkly with his subject matter and simultaneously weaves its way into the majestic scenery, Forsman investigates an unnatural presence in his landscapes. He uses various symbols to represent his observations and to examine the way human interaction has scarrednature.

"Beauty and honesty are uneasy bedfellows. Still, I am fyrng to make honest paintings that are also beautiful..."Chuck Forsman Forsman's "American Standard" is a typical Nevada desert scene with the symbolic addition of a poodle. The pet is intended to show the effects of European influences on American culturc.

"Fishing," also by Forsman, depicts a storm brewing above a lake and contrasts it with two fishermen, who are small and almost unnoticeable in the middle of the vast body of waler.

They are solitary ngures surrounded by a vast expanse of water, while a gloomy scenehovets overhead,A gathering storm with billowing, dark clouds frames the solitary boat as it wavers in a moment of tranquility. The clouds boil with fierceness in contrast to the peacefulness of the moment shared.

Recently, Forsman decided to expand into the realm of Vietnamese-Americanportaits.

"Vietnamerican" sprawls across the front mom of the gallery and commands attention. The pieces shows an intercdting conuast of one person at two very different stages of his life.

Forsman takes a portrait of a Vietnarnese-Arnericanand splits it into two perfect halves. He separateshis subject's face and on one spectrum he portrays the idyllic nature of youth, contrasting it on the other with the wise face ofan elderly one who may have seentoo much.

The youthful side alludes to a slight arrogance and abrasiveness,while the older man's eyes are wisfrrl and show reflection. The eloquenceof contrast is set to a backgmund of similar color schemes;the only diffetence is a slight changein shade,which illustrat€$ the coming of age theme.

Balog and Forsman both strive to redefine the typical view of our surroundings.Balog usesphotographiccollagesto combine forcstry documentation and porEay the intensity of trees by using overwhelming layers, whereas Forsman takes the traditional landscape and uses symbolism to challenge ideals of human interaction.

MattherflJonas / The Melropolitan Theret somethingdaunting and slightly nerve-wracking about shows at the Fillmore Auditorium. Security guards armed with flashlights herd the crowd around the massive space;hordes of people clamor at the merdrandise table; bartenders and patrons chase each other around-it's definitely a hectic atmospherethat most bandswouldn't be able to digest, But Hot Water Music bassistJason Black hardly seemsfazed at all.

"It's all just showswhen it comesdown to it," Black says."This placecould be sold out tonight and we could be headlining and we

could still have a shitty show."

In fact, this past Denver stop for Hot Water Music did sell out. As openers for Irish-meets-punkrockers Los Angeles-based FloggingMolly, the'Green 17" dubbed tour brought 3,600 people to the expansiveEast Colfax venue.

"This is evengnarlyfor usi Blackjokes.

Having beenaround the punk rock block a few times, the nearly ll-year-old band has kept up modest faces throughout numerous albums and countlesstours. The Florida quartet, comprised of Black,vocalisVguitarist

Chuck Ragan, vocalist/guitarist Chris Wollard, and drummer George Rebelo, certainly has the scarsto remind them. They've survived a short-lived breakup and evena few cross-country trips in the posh quarters of a tour bus. "(Tour buses)costa lot," Blacksays."They 'tn cost more than I make a yar. That's the truth. Every time we use one, I come home and I'm like,'I'm never doing that again.'

It'sgettingheavy HeavyGhetto Entertainment is readyto take

Denver'sundergroundhip-hop sceneby storm

by Justin Rennolds TheMetrooolitan Welcome to the Wild WestDenver: a city that is rife with underground hip-hop culture exclusive only to its inhabitants and untouched by the corporate, pop-culture driven market of the mainstream.

Unfortunately, this little club needsto get somenational exposure if it wants to evolve.

"I think we're right on the *erge of it," said Tony Kash a.k.a.Paupo Skywalka,the self-appointedhead of this forthcoming movement and president of Heavy Ghetto Entertainment."It only takes the right person to spin it the right way-that's us."

Denver's hip-hop scene is destined to leave its mark on the Jason Chevarria/ The MetroDolilan

industry. When this happens,one crew will gladly take up arms and lead the front lines of this newage Western revolution, and Heavy Gheuo is just the group ofhardened warriors to do it.

Healy Ghetto, a 4-man clique of solo artists, family and Fiends, incorporates classicEast Coast style into some real, fresh, Denver patentedboom-bap.

'There is a lot of talent here and peopleare sleepingon Denveri Kashsaid.'Somepmple havereally good music but their marketing suck. Somepeople have really good marketing but their music sucks.

We're trying to ffeate the complete package... we're on the levelwhere it's not just good for Denver but it's also good for America-"

. HEAW: Localrappers weightedwithgoodwill fromHEAWonpage16 Heavy Ghetto'ssound is reminiscentof Harlem hardcore mash-out, but criminally smooth rap. That is where the comparison ends.Their lyrics are conscious,street but not overly assertive.EmceesPaupoSkywalka,One Pryor, Kartel and Wordplay spit rhymes that are intelligent, well executedand hot enough to melt the Arctic.

'Ayo these rappi-rt' amateurs use the My styleis panoramic cannabisto advantages/ to damageyou verbal anarchists/ So grab an abacuscauseI'm making numerous classics/I stack'em up in units to move them from here to Canadai' raps Wordplay over a melodic headnodding beat.

Wordplay, a.k,a. Dan Cooper, is the younger brother of Kashand is the most vocal ofthe group.He is quick to interjecthis oftenhumorous 50 câ&#x201A;Źnts into the conversation.

True to his rhyming style,he is not excessively flashy but is well aware that he is the center of attention. Cooper can also flow like a river; he flips topics with easeand finesse.Unlike his brother, Cooper is far from calm and collected.

Kashis the Voltron-like headof the group.

His presenceis commanding and although he is a soft talker, he is easy to relate to and understand- Kash is kind but he is also calculating. He is thinking one step ahead, planning the next move Heavy Ghetto needs to make in order to carve its niche into the hip-hop scene.

Hanging back and somewhat withdrawn ftom the group is the quiet but verbally menacing One Pryor. He is mentally razor sharp but at the same time he is not one to openly express hirnself to strangers. It is obvious that Nas' introqrective lyricism influences Pryor in both his rhymes and approach to conversation.Pryor comesto the Mile High City from Pennsylvaniaby way of California.

Kartel, better known as the High City Husder, is a Korean emcee,whose knowledge of the streets shines through in his music.

His voice is unique and his braggadocio is untouchable.

"I speakfor the streets,"Kartel said,"There is a hood out here and it needssomeoneto follow."

Kartel has a rebel's perspective on the world. The emcee is a vital asset to Heavy Ghetto becausehe successfullyconveys the mood of Denver's hoods without putting on a figade.

"I seepeoplethat I cant changeand the only chanceI can get to help them would be to get money and give it back to therni Kartel said.

Although Heavy Ghetto Entertainment 'street-hop" musig producesconscious they actively participate in the community and plan to give back to it once they find financial successin the mainstream hip-hop market.

"We re trying to help wherever we can ... sort of like Robin Hood; take from the rich and give to the poorj'said Kash."I think a lot of people are misguided; they dont have a positive direction as to which way to go in life or the help to get there.We hope to change that through our music."

Heavy Ghetto Entertainment is on the verge of propelling Denver into the national hip-hop spotlight. They aremotivated,hungry and ready to take over.When they do, Denver and the culture will be forever changed.

Leah Bluntschli / The Meuopolitan Five Sided Mind at Herrnan's Hideaway Friday, March f f (from left): vocalist fohnny Osi and guitarist Chris Howells.

Takea trip with FiveSided Mind

by DaveWatkins TheMetropolitan Five different musical spirits combine their diverse hip-hop, metal and rock influences to create a new frontier in local music. They're Five Sided Mind, a new twist in Denver'smusicscene.

Mindt music is almost impossible to understand without hearing it. Lead vocalist |ohnny Osi calls their music a blend of all five band members'musicalstyles.The band incorporateselementsof underground hiphop, rock, funk, metal, experimentalmusic, Dfing and, of all things, reggae.The result can best be describedas Eminem meetsRage Againstthe Machine.

Their songs are a mix of all of these elements. Pick any one of their track and all the members' sMes emanate on some level, They currendy only have a five-track demo out, but tley are a regular at Herman's Hideaway. Although Mindt demo does showcasethe bandt sryle, it doesnl do them justice.

SeeingMind perform givesthe listenera chanceto seehow the band works. Thev have an excessiveamount of energy onstage;tlat's part of their appeal. Each member is clearly into their music and they eachmake a huge effort to have their individual styles heard.

There'sa lot of talent tlere and when the five sides combine they have the ability to create somegreatmusic, Their looks are as diverseas their sound.

shirt, plays Osi, in black jeans and a sleeveless the part of the maniacally intense vocalist.

The stagesimply isn t big enough for Osi; he runs and jumps from end to end as if he were attempting to fly. BassistShawn Riley, clad in plaid, watches Osi's wild antics while playing nearly rnotionless.The band is kept in time by RandyDelmont'squick and dirty drumming style.Behindit all is Dl Nick Bishop,the fifth side of Mind. Spinning and mixing records live, he givesthe band a unique edge.

Bishop and his style are new to the band and they're still trying to work him into their sound. At times the DJ element of Mind's music feelsout of placeas they learn to work him in.

"We're still working on what you do with a DL" Osi said. "We're still trying to develop our sound."

Mind's latest show at Hermaris Hideaway had a great turnout and the audience loved them. Mind's most powerfii talent is their ability to transform the dancing audience fiom a sultry grind to head-bangingenergy.

Few bands can pull this off without causing disarray, The audience was an extremely diverse bunch, ranging fiom twentysomethingsto midlife crisiscandidates.

"I really like them, they've almost got a Sublime-likestyle,"audiencemember Dieter said.

Schnakenberg Mind is definitely still a work in progress but they have massive potential. Mind is primed for successbecause their music actually seems to have something to say.

'Always Freei one of the band's harder track, talk about self-expression.mixing in a track singing'expressionof my soul" in the background.It fits: Mind's music is a true artistic expression, Mind is an acquired taste, actually somewhat hard to listen to at first. Further listensand the sound beginsto sink in. Anlone can relateto tleir track "Better Things," a song about how hard it is to work the nine-to-five grind, The track heavily incorporates the slow and funky elementsof reggaeand managesto appealto a massiveaudience.

The subject matter is near to their hearts, since all of Mind's members currently work outsideof theband in jobs rangingfrom metal working to computer programming. They are currently refining their sryle and distributing free demos,looking for a break. Osi saystheir next step is to play at bigger venuesin Denver like the Gothic or the Ogden. The goal, of course,is to makethe band a career, "We want to pay our rent witi our music," Osi said.

From primal grunting to sampling Bob Marley, Mind appealsto everyone.They need to narrow down their style and refine their music, but they have enough energyto fuel 20 lesserbands.They know how to entertain a live audience-they just need to keep working and successwill follow.

Their static behavior on and off the road is akin to their approach to music and their drunk for a month." "lt's comfortable,"he continues,"but it ljve shows. No matter the progression in style, they continue to play with a sincerity doesbring a whole different realm of party."

As for the seductive nature of touring, that transcends across even the biggest of Black admits that the band doesn't get too auditoriums.

At the Fillmore,in the middle of the seaof lured in by it.

"We don't have that many crazy stories fans shoving eachother toward the stage,two from tour," he says,"No more than we do from different hands reachedout abovethe crowd. home. Ma)'beeven more at home becauseI Like a messagein a bottle, they hi-6ved and

it was the perfect summation of the intimary only a band Iike Hot Water Music could conveyat a such an intimidating venue.

It's hard to imagine the mernbers of Hot Water Music being aryruhere but onstage.

It's even heartbreaking to think of them just goingback to beingfacesin the audience.

"It's betteron the otherside,"Blacksays.'I like going to showsstill, but like going to this show and standing in the kont row for four hours straight?No way.I'd kill myself."

SPORTS Metro grabs Regionaltitle Metro vs. NSU RegionalQuarterfinal

In the 83-60 win against Northern State University, Metro usedsizeand power to hold the Wolvesto a mere .278shootingfrom the floor.

In the 16th minute, the Roadrunners made an 8-l run, capturinga game-high13point lead (33-20).Metro went into halftime with a l0-point advantage.Much like the first half, Northern State came out strong in the opening minutes of the second, but Metro shut them down quickly.

The bigger and stronger Roadrunners made basketball look eary and proved why they were fust seedin the tournament. While the Wolves tried to take shots from behind the arc, the Roadrunnersheld them off, waiting for the right opportunity. The impatient 'Runners to the line and, as Wolves sent the they have done all season,the Roadrunners were sharp,making .741 of their free throws.

Northern State was not given much room to do anything and, with eight minutes remaining, the Roadrunners gdned a 22point lead after senior guard Keith Borgan scored back-to-ba& buckets. Borgan raised his fist in the air as a sign of victory.

Northem State could not respond and Metro advancedto regional semifinals.

by EIinOtter The Metrcpolitan Despite an outst.nding performance by the South Dakota Coyotes,the Metro men's basketball team won 89-84, captured the North Central Regional crown and advanced to NCAA Elite Eight.

In a game where no team would fold, the players gave all they had, dove for balls and the three pointers dropped like never before.

'I've never been a part of a gamethat has the three point stats the way this one had," said Metro head coach Mike Dunlap.

The two teams hit a total of 27 threepointers. The'Runners shot .824 from behind the arc. Junior guard Drew Williamson came off the bench and went 6-for-6, a careerhigh.

'I thought that the X-factor, obviously, wasWilliamson,' Dunlap said.

From the start, the Coyotes played a low-pressure defense,making it hard for the Roadrunners' post players to be productive.

As Metrob trademark was taken away, the guards found openings thro"gh the middle and ftom behind the arc.

In front of the biggest and loudest crowd of the year, 1,752,Metro opened up with four three-pointers withio the fust five minutes.

However, South Dakota l*pt op with the fierce'Runners,hitting three of their own.

The teams were neck an{ neck tlroughout the first 17 minutes, with no team taking charge.

'One of the things we picked up on in the last four minutes of the fust half was our on-ball screens.It made the difference and we started to penetrate,"Dunlap said. with litde more than two minutes remaining in the half, Williamson cameoff the bench and hit back-to-back three pointers, pulling Metro ahead37-32 so the Roadrunnerscould go to half time break with a four-point lead.

In the half, ttre Runners went 5-for-7 in three points, while the Coyoteswent 5-for-6.

The teams went head to head in rebounds with l0 each.

In the secondhalf, Metro cameout sha4r.

The Roadrunners continued to hold off their shots until the last ten secondson the shot clock in hopes of wearing down the Dakoa defense.

The theory seemedto work With 13 minutes remaining, the'Runners gained a nine-point lead after Williamson hit another three from behind the arc, his fourth of the night. Just minutes later, Williamson contributed on defensewith a steal that sent 'Runners the ftns into frenzy.

The crowd didft calm down when Roadrunners guards Greg Muth and IGith Borgan hustled and forced a turnover, which led to another three from Williamson and Metro to a l3-point lead (59-46) accelerated with 8:49 remaining.

"Our defenseleads to our offense, so we figured if we could get.stopsin we havea better chanceof score in the other endj' Borgan saidA three-point batde began and South Dakota hit four in a mw while Metro added two of their own, making sure tiey stayed ahead at 68-58. A timeout with 5:54 left on the dock ended the threes, but the intense gamekept going, Using only two playersfrom the bench, the C,oyoteshad trouble keeping up with the tempo.

However, Ortner crushed the Coyotes dreams to go to Elite Eight as he, out of nowhere, blocked another three-point attempt.

Despite a three from downtown, South Dakota lost when the final buzzer sounded.

Metro had captured its ftfth North Central Regional Championship and is going to its secondconsecutiveNCAA Elite Eight.

Oblivious to his major performance, Williamson said he had not paid much attention to what he had done.

'A bunch of guys on the bench told me that I just hit my 6fth, but that's the only way I kept track, otherwise I didnt knoq" Williamson said.

Williamson has never lost on the hardwood at Auraria Events Center. The win marks the Roadrunners' 39th consecutive home win. In fact, Metro has not dropped a single home game during the last two years.

"Obviously,it feelsgood to us asseniors,

After their most successfulseasonthis decade, the Roadrunners' year ended on Friday, Ivlarch 12, in the cold of Grand Fork, N.D. Metro progressedsignificantly this season,earning a 24-7 record and the RMAC championship.They made it as far as any women'steam in schoolhistory: the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

As the fifth seed in the region, the 'Runnerswere paired up againstConcordiaSt. Paul University. Metro ran into a wall in the Golden Bears,the toughest and most physical opponent they faced all year. The final scoreof 83-70 beliesthe Roadrunners' effiortasa teamin their final game.

The 'Runnersowned the first six minutes of play, tfing off for an early 14-8 lead.

The opponent's offense was stunned early, but didnl waste time catching up. Metro's opening run was counteredby a fierce Golden Bear attack. Concordia took the lead during a nine-minute, t8-2 run. The Roa&umers made up some of the difference toward the end of the first, going into halftime with an eight-point deficit.

splitpersonality Roadrunners'

by SamD,eWttt The 2005 Metro Men's baseball season loolad like a promising one for the Roadrunners,who started with a 4-0 record' with their offensescoring runs in bunches.

TheL fortune seemedto clange at the start of the RMAC PreseasonTournament though, as they went 1-3 in gamesagainstconference foes,a road bump if everthere was one.

Ever since then, Metro has had a sort of split personality-in the very literal sense.

Sincethat toumament, they won two and lost two against Northwest Nazarene at Auraria Field, then lost one and won one againstSaint Cloud Stateat Auraria a few dayslater.

C,oming into this weekend'sroad trip to Nampa, Idaho to take on the Crusaders of NNU again,the Roadrunnerswere hoping for a winning record.

In game one of a first-day doubleheader, the Roadrunners went the distance against Nazarene,using 13 innings of play to finally dom the Crusaders 3-2. kaders for Metro were seniorsClint Cleland (3-for-5 with one RBI) and Nick Thorne (2-for-5with oneRBI), and the gamewasfinally won in the thirteenth inning by Cleland, whose home run gavethe Roadrunnersthe last lead of the contest.

Earning the win for Metro was senior

relief pitcher less Jacobs,who came on in the bottom of the ninth and did not allow a run.

Metro was never really in the second game,as the Crusaderscameto the plate with a purpose, going up four-zero in the second and adding two more runs in the third to make it six-zip.

Another run for NNU made it 7-0 in the fourth before Metro was able to score two runs in the fifth thanks to senior Russel Floyd'sRBI triple and an RBI double by senior GregGarrison.

That would be all she wrote for the Roadrunners though, and NNU scored five more ru.nsto win, l2-2.

"Greg (Garrison) is really starting to swing the bat how he'scapableof swinging it," 'He's getting said head coach Vince Porreco. back to form and stepping it up, which is what we need him to do. As for other guys, Nick (Thorne) is trying to get back to his level offensiveh and we needhim to raise his level.

Getting on baseand stealing bags is going to be key to his success."

Day two of the matchup with Nazarene looked promising as well, with the Roadrunners taking an early l-0 lead in the secondinning when freshman ReeceGorman scored on a sacrifice fly by junior Adam Lawson, but soon found themselvestrailing after a three-run third by the Crusaders.

In the fifth inning Metro was able to muster a one-run lead, scoring three runs (two coming off a double by senior Greg Garrison), but again the lead was short-lived with NNU scoring three in the bottom half of that inning. ln the sixth, the Roadrunnersuseda tworun single by Floyd and a grand slam home run by Cleland to go up for good and finally win, I l-7.

'I think wdre plaFnC Prettt' good," said 'There are still somethings we could Thorne. work on to become better with, but overall we re happy with how we're playing."

In the secondgameof the day (and fourth overall againstNNU), Metro state again took an early lead,this time a 3-0 tally in the second courtesyof an RBI single by Palmer,followed by a two-RBI singleby Thorne.

In the third, the Crusadersscored a run, followed by four more in the fifth inning to give them a 5-3 lead. The Roadrunners tried to mount a comeback in the seventh, but could only muster one run and fell 5-4 to finish the weekendwith a 2-2 mark "We've got to get better about holding on to leadg" said Thorne, who was 4-for- 17 for the weekend(.235)."We haveto be able to finish off teams when we have a lead, and increasingour leadsin thesegames,especially before conferenceplay begins."
