The $28 million Tivoli renoyalions are set to be completed by January 2006, bar.ing any major weather. The removal of the whie paint and restoring or replacing of the onginal brick on the oubide of the Tivoli bulding has been the main focus of the rendvations, which began in July 2m3. Other mqior projects include updating the ffre alarms, replacing the wooden ri'indows and installing a new vmtilation rystem throughout tre building. The corstruction crew has also repaired most of the roof, with just a few more secUons to go. The Tivoli has seen it fair shaie of weather and abwe. which is the rnain reason for the major overtraul. "Most portions of the building are 100 years old," said Barb Weiske, director of ' Surdent Auxiliary Sewices, which manages the Tivoli Student Union. She added that whoever built &e Tivoh were "absolute crafsmen' with the different colored brick and pattems the/ve found underneath all that white painf To ffnish lhe renovatiors, workers will build an irterior stairwell in the Tumhalle' which will allow the building's Patrons to use the upstairs for future evenb. They also need to put the final touches on the vbntilation E/stem and finish repairing the roof. Shrdents will also notice changesto the Auraria Boolstore once the startof-thesemester book rush is over. There will be new concept stores for Meho, UCD and CCD, with grand openings for the new departmenb, "We want to pull in the individual school'sidentity," Weiskesaid. The locations of the loadtng docks and stockrooms for the Bookstore will be moved from the Plaza building to the Tivoli to avoid the large trucls from clashing with studentbaffic.

Stephen Jordan: I just think there are hemendous opportrnities for us, especially if we choose to pa$rer with other important govemmental entities-with community colleges,with the Denver Public School sys tem and others. I think we can make a real change in this community. On the community college side, lve aIready started conversations with the leadership of the corrununity college system. So, I've met with Nancy McCallum, the CEO of the community college system,arrd with Linda Bowman, who is their vice president for academic affairs ... about the concept of our parhrering with them to ofler Metro degrees on community college sites throughout the metropolitan area. I think they're very excited and interested in thal I think that we set up this community college system for place-bound folks who are, basically, working adule. We say, "You know, you shouldn't have to go just downtown, you should be able to get it in your local community." And ... when they get an associate'sdegree, we somehow say to them, "Ah, well that concept's out the window; now you have to drive downtown." Well, no, we can deliver the program there wi& partnerships.

The Metropolitah: Some have expressed concem about Metro's rapid growth; is this a sb:ategyfor dealing with thisl SJ: I think it absolutely is. I think what it does is help !o bridge this issue of the space problems. You-probably a lot more than I do-know how tight spaceis on this campus. What this allows us to do is take advantage of existing space out in the community college siteswithout necessarilyhaving to build more spacedown here. MET:What do you seeas being some of the biger problems facing Metro and do you have any specific plans to tackle those? SJ: Ftst of all, fm trying to formulate where I think we should go as a collegein a ... lG year time frame. And I'rn conceptualizing that into three phases. The ffrst is the stabilization phase,where we really h-y to address some of the significant, fi.rndamental,struitural issueson carnpus...prepareourselvesfor where we want to take the institution, because we have some work to do to get ready to do thaL The second phase would be the grovth and inveshnent phase. where we then take those plans *""r'" luid out and achrally begin investing in specific prograrns and target programs...implementingthe vision of the mulfi<ampus kind of s;,stem where we're cooperating with community colleges and delivering our programs broadly. And it also relates to the nature of what I think it will mean to be a 21" ceniry, urban college.

and thaL in their view. as the size of our tenuretrack faculty has declined, that has gone away. Second, it is the tenure and tenurc-b,-ack faculty who carry on the commisee work of the college, who really work on the curriculum, u'ho do all of the day-today governance kinds of things that are necessaryto move the college forward. The size of that faculty has declined so much that we're asking too fe.,r,people to do too much now. Third, I ttnnk, in my view, that if we maintained 35 to 40 percent of those total credit hours being ... those professionals,I think that gives us suftcient flexibility. The last reason-and it gets to this notion of what doesit mean to be a 21" centuDi',urban college-we need to be activelyengaged in solving problems of the various corrununities in this metropolitan area. That means MET: Why is it important to you to have our facuiry*and our students need to be out there doing applied kinds of work, which, more full-tirne facullv? for the faculgv,could mean rheir research inSJ: One of the things that I've already had terestsin an applied wav. For shrdents,w-ewill be bringing real-life relayed to me from folks who have been associatedwith the collegefor a long period of experienceto the theoreticalknowledgethat time is that we. in their view. used to havc a you're gaining in the classroom, and then reputation as being a place where studenb the faculty can bring it right back into the could get a lot more personal counseling classroom in terms of their reouirements to and advice and supervision from facuitv, make sure that what they're tiarhing is on I think that s a big piece of what we're going to have to examine in these first two years. And the last phase will be what I call the assessment phase.We're going io take a step back and ... really assesswhat was our successand then to make adjustnents to that and do it again. Clearly I'm very concemed ... about the decline in the size of the tenure and tenuretrack faculty at the college. We're down to the point where only 4Gsomepercent of the credit hours are generated by tenure and tenure-track faculty. I intend to set a goal that we should be at some 60 to 65 percent of the total credit hours. I've already autho rized the provos! working with the deans and the chain, to move forward with hiring 60 new tenure and tenure-track faculry for fall of next year
the cutting edge of what's really going on. MET: Specifically, how do you do that? SJ: There are a number of ways. One, we already have a great opporh[iry with this $9.5 million grant that we have with the Denver Public Schoolsand I hope that will become the centelpiece of a number of ways that we can get engaged with the Denver communitv. Becauseso many of our students are products of the Denver Public School system,we have everv reasonto be vested in helping them to solve their prob lems becauseit will contribute bosolving our own problems if we do that. BuL let me give you another example, the CVA (Center for Msual Arts). We've spent some time, again, working on that. CVA can become a place in which we help DPS around the whole issue of axt and bringing those students into the CVA and having our shrdentsbe involved in it MET: You have said before that Referendums C & D must pass for many of your plans to succeedas well as 0okeep Colorado higher educa-tionin general alive. Why?

SJ: Higher ed. is the single largest component of the budget that is 100 percent discretionary on the part of the legislature. And it is one of the few components of the budget in which the legislanue can allow the institutions to oftet either budget cuts or fuhue growth by simply passing it on to studenb as hrition. If C & D don't pass, it createsthis vqry large budget gap. We have been told by CCFIE (Colorado Comrnission on Higher Fducation) and by the Joint Budgeting Committee that if it doesn't pass,the reductions to higher ed. could be as high as 50 to 60 percent of the cunent state support. And we've been asked speciffcally by CCHE to go tbrough and see what would be the impacl of a 10, ?5, and 50 percent budget reduction. MET: What do you see as your mle of president wi& regard to the strdent body? SJ: I see ... my responsibility to help assure they get a quality education and that's really where I'm Eying to focus my efforts. MET: What role do you see studenb taking in decision*naking processes? SJ: Well, lve already appointed a student on the prbvost search commitlee and ... I've honored my commitrnent to have the shrdent body president---eventhough it's the current interim president-be on the cabinet and padicipate in all those conv.ersations. I tbink we're involving s[ldents in the other searchesthat are going on. We're cre ating processesthrough which student input can go into each and every one of those. I've said, with respect to the cabine! one of your responsibihes in sitting ai the table is to make sure as we're discussingthesethings that there's a flow, that you're getting informafion back to your constituents and then bringing decisions back up to us. MET: You talk about Meto becoming the preeminent public, urban, baccalaureate college in ihe country, Do you think this concept is comparible with Metro's open admissions policy? H no! is it something you would consider changing? SJ: I don't tlink that concept is incon-
sistent with the open admissions. We need to have an honest discussion about what it means to be a college of opporhmity. There's a diflerence between the opportunity to succeedand the opportunity to fail. ff we simply open the doors to the college to individuals, and don't put around them the servicesthat are necessaryto allow them !o succeed,then we haven't done them one favor at all. I am absolutely cornmitted to our be ing an instihrtion of opportunity, if what we mean is we're going to open the doors to studenb and we're going to do everything in our power to seethat that student graduates from this instihrtion and has a real chance at a meaningfi:l career.

Big Gene peers at the screen from beneath arr-hite towel. When he's playing, he's in the zone. But when he's waiting lbr his opponent to pick his plav orwaiting for his next challenger, he looks impatient. Eugene "Big Gene" Williams is impatient to get to Hawaii, where he plans to take home the $100,000grand prize and keep his crown as the Madden Challenge king. Williams competed against about 50 other olavers in the hofessional division at the 2005'EA Sports Madden Challenge at Invesco Field at Mile High Sept. 2. Playen compete at Madden NFL, the best-selling football videogame of all time. Now in it's 16th year, Madden Challenge won exclusive rights to the National Football League license, making it the only NFL game in the indusby. The Denver challenge is the thhd stop in a 32-city tour to find the best Madden player. Now in its fourth vear, the challenge brings thousands of diehard and casual Madden fans out to test their skills. In each city, playen can compete in the profes siona.l and rookie divisions. The winner of the professional division in each city wins a trip to Hawaii in February to compete for the$100,000grand prize. Having won the national championship last year, nefring him a prize of $50,000,Williams, 21, of Philadelphia, plans to'follow the tour until he wins. Williams is arnonq a group of 20 to 30 players nation-widew:ho compete professionally and usually havel to several stops on the tour. Like some of the other top compeUtors, Williams trains by playing Madden for at least 5 hours a day. He also watches NFL games, which helps in knowing his players better, but ids more about knowing the game. "This is Madden and it's a videogame," he said, 'and people have to treat it like a videogame." Across the room, Billy Wolf, a-k.a. Se cre! is also blazing tbrough mmpetiton with his tearn, the Oakland Raiders, a dangerous gamble when playing in Denver. The champion of the challenge in Jacksonville last year, this is Wolfs tbird year competing. F,arly on, he's confident he's going to win the bip to Hawaii. His shatery is simple. 'ern." he said. "Pound WoH, 18, taveled to Denver from Tallahassee,Ha.-where he attends Florida State UniveFity-to get an early start on the competition. He said the competition is slimmer' out wesl Coordinating the mini-games is DrTrain, a Madden Challenge legend. D-Train (real name: Dwayne Harrison) won the Madden Championship in Jamaica in 2002. Now working for EA Sports, Harrison works on the game ibelf and any player on the tour daring enough to take him on can win $1,00. But he's the guy to bear.

While no one bea.t the DTrain in Denver, the challenge heated up in the United West I-ounge at lnvesco as the sun went clown.

He and Kyle Cooper, 25, run a firll-tirne Madden Website. www.maddenauthority.conr, where they sell game tips and hine for a yearly subscription. The rest of their time is spent playing Madden. It's all
games, but it's not necessarilyall firn. "It's tough, it is running a company,' Grundei said. Although locals rarely win the challenge in their cities, the playing field is more level at Madden Challenges, as opposed to playing online or in real life, because,at the challenges, each qua-rter is two minutes long, Williarns said. "I think it s luck of the draw when it comes down !o two-minute quarters," said Lucas Trujillo, 21, of Greeley, and the last local to lose in the pro ffnals tlmt night Univenity of Colorado studen! Brian Campana, 18, took on Williams early on in the professional divlsion and knew he was defeated only one quaxter into the game. 'Ids a mind game," Campana said. Mke Grimberg, 24, of Denver lost in the ffnal eight" While he lqrows he was beat hir
and square, he said he feels like the steep competition with the frrll-time professionals is a drawback to the challenge. "It's !ough," Grirnberg said. "As much as these guys tavel and as much as they practice, it s a disadvantageto us (locals)." The pro championship came down to Grundei versus Pahick Stock, a l4year-old from Las Vegas. He posed a problem for Gnrndei, who was defealed 2&14. No doubt Stock is good, but what else would you expect from an rmemployed teenager who's home schooled? 'I really love football and obviously Pm too short to play," Stock said after winning. For playen like Grundei and Williams, a loss al,rays stings, but this early in the tour, they know it's not over. (Williams took fie KansasCity challenge Sept 3.)

The series will include 7 films that span tJre director's his low-budget British beginnings to his culturally slmonyrnous staples.
(1938)- September TheLodyVonishes I3
One of Hitchcock's most cherished early films, "The Lady Vanishes" contains the cinemafic nuancesthat would come to deffne ft career. This thriller is noteworthy not only for its ingenious use of limited resourcesand its masterfi mix of zuspense,but also for its hi in Hitchcock's oeuwe. lndeed, this was the last film Hitchcock would make in Britain before moving to the high-proffle world of Ho The plot revolves around a young English grl, played by Margaret l-ockrvood, and her train ride across Eastem Europe. In ty cockian fashion, the disappearanceof a kindly old woman, played by Dame May Whiqy, embroils oru heroine in a multi-layered m she must unful witl the aid of an ea.rnestyorng musician, played by Michael Redgrave. Over the course of thea investigation, Lr Redgrave traverse the train and meet with its many passengers,simultaneously uncovering clues and quirky personalities. The fikn operates as both a mysbry and, rnore surprisingly, a comedn as lockwood's quest to reveal the tuth spotlight a wide acters and coni:siors. Although *The I-ady Vanishes" boasts some genuinely eerie and suspensefrrlmoments, it is the r.rnexpected use of humor that distinguishesit from Hitchcock's other masterpieces.
(19351-September The39 Steps 20
Loosely based on John Buchan's novel, this tale of an Everyman falsely accused of a crime he didn't comrnit would b, model :lel for many of Hitchcock's later fflms. In fac! facl many consider this to be the germ Northwest " one of the dhr eerm for "North by bv Northwesl" ftrl works. Although "The Lady Vanishesnserved as the director's last homegrown thriller before his relocation to Hollywobr the fflm that gamired intematlonal altention for the upand-coming director and established his reputation as an unrivaled n Starring Robert Donat as the typically dapper and daundess,hero,the story has the protagonist running all over the U.IL, Scorish Highlands, in his attempts to bring his enemies to justide.

Though the twists and irms may seem forrnulaic for modem audiences, it is only becausethis film would deffne the gp tions. As one of Hitchcock's earln low-budget outings, 'The 39 Steps" provides an insigh$:l view into his later filrru wtr{r shocla and thrills.

These davs. it seems that the wrists of virtuallv everv student on the Auraria campus are adomed with a colored rubber band featuring some uplifting messageor another.

IFE IN TI{E TIVOLI IS A LITTIT DIMMER TODAY. There once was a srnile that lit up the entire building. The smile belonged
to Karen Bensen and she gave it to anyone, everyone. I never saw Bensen without a smile on her face. Even if it v,'asj+st a-half smile, she alr,."'ai,s unimpeachably, in style. It is time for drange, Bensen tells me, place for all. "I need to do something new. I've been On Aug. 31, Bersen left Auraria for here a long time."

From there the wristband craze took off and shows no sign of letting up. Over the srunmer, the American Cancer Society sold hundreds of thousandsof raristbands, in different colors to signi$ the different lpes of cancer.A quick check on campus carne up with sel-eral, including pink for breast cancer awareness,orange for anti-tobacco sentiments and white in support of cancer sun ivors. The ACS also has wristbands in dark blue (colon cancer awareness), purple (Relayfor Life), and lime green (promotingthe early detecfon of cancer in the Latin cornmunitv)There are wristbands in support of hurricane Katrina relief, "Support Our Troops" wristbands, religous raristbands asking "\ltJD ?" (What Would Jesus Do?) and wristbands with everything from "Have Hope," and "Have Faith," to "Princess,"and "Social Butterfly" stamped inio them. And u,hile noble causes have created the most popular bands,the trend is not ofl limits to spofis-team support The Broncos currendy sell three variations--one orange, one blue and one multi-colored*that have the word "Broncos" starnpedinto them. The Rockies' bands come in black, blue ald multi-colored. The Nuggets wristbands achrally have the Nuggets' logo on them, where the others are simply the name of the team in no particular design. There are even wristbands for popular television shows. "The Family Guy," my current favorite, hasjumped on the bandwagon with two bands. One features Peter. the pah-iarch of the Griffin familv. and the *oids "Freakin' Sleetl" The oth'er is the footballheaded infant Steweywith the words "Go to Hell" stamped in the rubber. The bend space is getting to be a litde overpopulated, if you ask me. But irxtead of ffghting it (the way I do rnost hends), I thought I'd throw in a few ideas of my own. Feelfree to stealthese:vou'll do all the work and I'll have the satisfacfon that you saw it here first. I'm a big fan of random, meaningless sayings, especially for such a random, meaninglessitem. So here are a few I'd like to seeprinted on those popular-for-nGapparent-reasonwristbands (colors should be left . Makes Liver Taste Like Sherbet . I Don't Know! .

Campushas optiorx to beat weight an:dclock Being overrreight is not that rar€ anymore. More than half of the people in this cormtsy are obese, and thrc same holds true on this campus. Though advertisers $ill use people whose body types are considered "slim" or "healthy," the average consumer is gering wider and heavier. Even I eount myself as a Hefty-American, weighing in ar 2SFpounds ai of late last week. For me, being a large person is more than just bee! man boobs and leaving craten, it's about frcing advenity every day from a world that does not see me as healthy. In facl you do not have to po:int out . the blarant irony that a person widr a weight problem is telling you how to get healdry. Believe me, I see the irony every day when I flip past Dr. Phil on TV. But I digress. But what is there to do about it on carnpus? For some people the fieshman 15 is inevitable. Whether the freslrman in question is 18 or 3.lvears-old. the amount of time being active ii quashed by the time needed to hit the books. Then we go to the food court 'in the Tivoli and ffnd ourselves faced widl the good and evil of the food indusky: Taco Bell and McDonald's on the left, Wok and Roll and Subway on the right I find myself tom between the reshuranb of good and evil at least twice a week and, more often than no! I ffnd ryrelf going to the side of healthier eating. This vras not ahrraysso. I remember a time when ordering a quesadilla or a few double .cheesebgrgenwas my lu;rch fare for a day. The strugle can be won. The Auraria Carrpus has a lot of waF to help him those r.rnwantedpounds, or at least keep them in check. There are a lot of sirnple ways each of us can exert our bodies in srnall ways every day. One way I like to go is by walking a lot We sit on a very large carnpus aad walking great distancesis inevitable. If you are looking to make it into a small workout try carry' ing more books with you in your backpack. If you are one of those people who carry your books amund in a rolling backpac\fy picking it up once in a while. The exertion might be good for you. I myself planned my classesthis past summer'and this s€mesterto give rne the most walking for my buck You haven't lived until you've made the hek from South Classroom to the King Center in lessthan ffve minutes. For those who take public tansportation: make it work for you. Try gefiing off the bus a few blocks short of campus and rp"alkthe rest of the w'dy.

I had been stuck in tra.ffic, dodged careless drivers and sbugled againsi becoming the homicidal road raging freak that driving for more than a couple of hours in an urban environment will usually m4ke me. On this joumey of errands, I found myself driving east on Market Street Stopping at the red lght on l6s Sbeel I looked at ihe sky and noticed this cloud peeking through the tall buildings that line the sheets. lUhat a great .rtrot,I thought io myself. And I reached for my camera, which was riding shotgun like a good litde camera should. I took the above photo through my cracked Sat:m windshield, just before the light tumed green. Its not the most perfect or amazing photo by any mea.ns,but I uns happy with it. A pedestian had serendipitously walked in front of my car while I thought I was naking a picture of the cloud. His silhouette, perfecdy placed between the buildings, adds a bit of interest to the photo.

"I never wanted to stay dris long" she chuckled, rellecting on those ffrst weeks. But it wasnt all firn and games in the beginning. When Bensen arrived on the Aurada campus that first day so many moons ago, stre didnt even know where to park. "The initial l0 minutes \yas awesome! not in a cool wav. but the fact was I was in awe," she said. It didnt take long for Bensen to leam just how much work needed to be done. In her first month on the job, she tells me, she joined the faculty of Metro for a working lunch. She wanted to put herself out there in hopes of making her work known. "I sat down, and the guy across the table-a former deanintoduced hirnself. He was very friendly," Bensen said. However, when she mentioned her role on crunpus, . "his vihole demeanor changed. He dldn't look or speak to me for the rest of the lunch." Bensen felt awfrrl. shamed. "He doesn't even know me, and he had already made a decision of who I am?" she questioned. 'That made me realize how much work I had to do." Bensen'smain objective was simple: she had to create a safeplace for GLBT shrdents and eftciendy educate the greater Auraria . community to their issues. Jr could be said that Bensenleamed I as much as stre taughq each day was Ia leaming experience. Bensen has always been an advocate for leaming and dialogue. Her manta perhaps is to talk about iL It, being anything. In the mid-'9os during a Coming Out Dan a student had produced a piece of artwork some found to be in poor taste.Bensen wouldnt tell me whal it was, but she would admit that in hasteshe told studentsto cover the artwork without having seen it herself, It was her biggest mistake she said. 'The strrdent was rather upset we censored him," she said. But Bensen stuck to her guns and stood by the cersored piece witr dre student and discussedthe ar( censorship and other GLBT issueswith participants. I-ooking back Bensen said, "We were probably wrong, but it was a great leaming experience." More recendn Za Klarnm, perhaps Mebo's ffrst out bansgender, gave Bensen a difrerent lesson. Klamrn, who just graduated with a degree in social work" came to Bensen by way of Rainbow Allen a youth group sponsored by The Center, a resource for Colorado GLBT. At the time the "T" in GLBT stood for Trans. Bensen trought it was an appropriate term. But Klamm had felt difierendy. "It was like abbreviafing me, bans what?" she said. So after talking it over, Bensen made the change. "It was v"alidating, her listening to me and acting on one of my suggestions,"Zia said. ensen has been all over Auraria. She and GLBTSS have occupied a total of seven spaces. What did keep Bensen around was the diversity in herjob and the campus. She was a counselor, supervisor, mentor, administrator, friend, ally, and at one point was dubbed "Super Gay Mom" by her shrdents. To say Bensen has stong [es to the campus would be an understa.temenl She and her partrrer Cindy Deim were married on the campus--trivice. Thev 6rst renewed their vows on carrr-
pus in 1996, when 50 same*ex couples were married in a comrnunity service at SL Cajelan's. "It was verv - differenl" Bensen said. However, her second ceremony-just last October-was more personal. It was Nalional Coming Out Day and would tre her last as sponsor. She and Deim, and Erin Durban and Mishka Char exchanged vows under The Flapole. "What was special about this was that my minister (Rev. Emily Hassler) officiared," she said. It was special for Durban, too. She.never thought she'd make it the altax. Durban said before she met Bensen she wasn't sure love existed. 'My parents were divorced when I was two. I never thought I was going to get maxried. I didnt want it It was never modeled for me. But Bensen showed me it could be done," Durban said. If Bensen were any acuon, it would be love. Ask anyone; they'll tell you.

By Justin Rennokls jrennold@msccl.elu Kanyf West is back and doubters beware: the man is a force to be reclfoned with-now and for the foreseeablefuture. On his sophomore album late Regisharion West goes for broke anil dramatically alters his sound. He has kicked up his rhyme s(11s,enlisted equally talented guesr and manued hii pro duction bf light-years. The album isn't as fun as CollegeDropat but ttlrves up to the hype and cemen$ West's place as hiphop's premier producer, The beaS are darker and more drum heaw. less reliant on his Aademar$ soul sampling and relatively smoother. It helps that he's a master ivhen it comes to makhing beats to rappers. West does a stellar job mastering this album. The beats and rhymes ale equally prevalenl The sequencingis genius; there is a clear begihning, middle and end to this record. His rhb'mesand the metaphors therein are complex and deep. Gone are the cheap and comy lyrics that litrled CollegeDropout; on Lafe R cgistratl'oz,West brings his Agame. "Good morning, tlds ajnt Mehram / S$ll people lose hands, arms and legs for real / It rrrasknown in Sierra kone and how it connects to the diamonds we on," West spits in his native Mdwestern tone. The rhymes may be controversial, but they work. With luck, numerous replays will spark some fans to research the historical context of the subje(t matter. Like nhosthiphop albums, this one is full of big-name guests. Nas, Jamib Foro<, Cam' Ron, Game, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Consequence have been recruited to help out. The rnost notable appearancehas to be Cam'Ron on nGone." He layfsdown a sweetverse that would make even your grandma's head spin. All the guesb work well together and conbibute to the saength of the album. There are a few minor missteps.West's production is fantastic but it is hprd to undentand the motive behind leuing the instumental se{mingly play out after everybody drops their lines, then b.ingng the rapper back to drop an outitf piace "outd" 30 seconds later. It's hard to get used to, but ids a minor complaint, especially with a producer like West who constantly pushesboundaries by messin$ arorurd and tying new things, The g$est appearances,production and lyrical content are all mesmerizihg. There's not one dul track on this album and every beat invokes some hea&loodding. Late Registralion is the rare album that lives up to and even exceeds its own hype.
As record store shelves overflow n'ith sugary bubble-gum pop bands that have the audacity to call themselves "punk," it's easy to give up, toss the world the ffnger and declare that real ounk is dead. Easy, but wrong. Before sending flowen, punk purists should take a look at The Unseen. The quartet consistsof Mark (vocals), ScoE (guitff), Tripp (bass),and Pat Melzard (&umE. Since banding together in Boston 10 yean ago, The Unseen have grown a healthy folIowing by sticking to a poLUcally-charged, ear+plitting sound, ffrst showcasedon Louer Class Crucifixion, their 1997 debut album. Recendv. the band switched record labels from itYO Records to the highly re. spectedHellcat Records. They spent the better part of last winter in the studio, recording their fffth frrli length, State of Discontent. State of Discn tenl marks the arrival of The Unseen as a firll-fledged force in punk rock The album is not as rough as their four previous releases-a change thatt to be expected with the move to a bigger label. The difference shows in the album's sharo mixing, done by Bret Gurewiz, founder of Epitaph Records and member of the inlluential band Bad Religion. GurewiE was not the only big name to have a hand in the album. Ken Casey (of the fellow Boston band, Dropkick Murphys) produced the album. Lars Frederilaen of Rancid also dropped in to lend his distinctive vocals to two tacks. Resenknent from fars is also to be expected when a punk rock band switches to a bigger label. It's a pidall of a scene that seems ro insist +.hatpoverf and obsc'.uiy are the only true measures of credibility. The band is used to iL "We're the type of band that doesn't catch much slack now," he said, 'Three years ago, we started doing stuff our fans weren't really into ... we shot a video ... we did Warped'Tour tvdce." The Unseen have always possesseda
unique sound. They blend different genres together so flawlessly that labeling them is a tricky task.The drurnming is intense and obviously hardcore inspired, but they are not a hardcore band. The lyrics and vocals are fr:rious, political, and anthem-like, but they don't liki to be called street ounk. Their hooks are melodic and exn'emely cahhy, but calling thern poppunk is a good way to get a steel{oed boot shrck in a verv uncomfortable place. So what are they? They're punk and they're damn good; those are the onlv labels thev need, 'There's nb doubt their sound has changed a bit over dle last l0 yeaxs, but it doesn't mean they've sold out "We do what we want to do ... we are still the same band, though," Mark said. Vfhen 16 and l7-yearold fans become angry with them for changing, he tums the question on them. "I ask them, were you thinking the same at 7?" In a ballsy, but brilliant move, The Unseen cover The Rolling Stonesclassic"Paint it Black" The band thought the h-ack was missing something so they brought in anoth er gues! Dicky Barret of The Mighty MCht)' Bosstones.Barret's vocals are deepy, raspy and compliment the song perfecdy. They re. ally make this song their own, and it makes for one of the few euly exceptional versions of an oft-covered standard. Despite the changes, the album shotrld satisf fans who are hoping for more of the sarne intense, high-energy punk with integrity that the band is known for. "It's in no means mellow or watered down," Mark said. As an added incentive to get thoseweary punk bones out of the house, The Unseen is doing their ffrct-evertour with the band A Globa] Threat Mark had a short-lived stint their first frrll-length album on his own re. cord label, ADD Records. Given the history these two bands share, this show should offer plenty of energy. "The Denver Warped Tour ... and the last Bluebird show were awesome .,. and it s two great bands together for the first time ever." Mark said.

D.O.R.K.s Alltheyoung By CassieHood hood&mscd.edu Donovan Welsh needed something to pull him away from his barroom ffghs. As he stood facing possible charges for assaulg he decided he needed a new crowd and a new hobby. So, in 2001, he leamed to play the bass and started a band. His new crowd consisted of Brvan Knoebel and Schuyler Ankele, friends of friends hom high school They called themselves D.O.RJC and started banging around the garage. After adding a new drurruner and singer they started playing live-prernahrely, as it hrmed ouL "We were playing out live way before we should have,o Welsh said with a laugh. "It was awfirl; we had a dnrmmer frat couldn't play." After a few lineup changes, including hiringJtunmy "Styx" Blair as their drummer, they were ready to be taken seriously. Widr emban-assingmomenb out of lhe way and a competent dnrmmer in the fold, they set out to conquer the world, D.O.RIC style. In 2003, after a few low-scale tours, the band drove down to New Mexico to join the Vars Warped Tour. The only obstacle in their plan was the fact that they hadn't been invited to play the tour. They managed to talk their way into a one-day gig after literally running into Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman. The following year, after another chance meeting, the band traded work as setrrp crew on the tour in exchange for an op por[nity to play a few gigs. This year, iheir audacity and perreverance paid off. D.O.RK landed a real spot on t}re Warped Tour, and toured in sWlein the Fuse TV bus. In the eirly days, the band played mostly 21+ shows and the responsewas underwhelming. Once they made the switch to all-agesshows,the band found its audience, Most of D.O.RIC's fans are teen€ers, a hct that the band doesn't mind at dl. "Our humor is very much like a llyearold," Ankele said. *That's what we write songsfor-sulfi we like. We were once young rockers." This humor is readily appaxent in their live shows. The band likes to poke firn at itself and harass ie audiences. At a recent show, Knoebel arnounced that he needed to get laid, then, minutes later, he stated he couldn't keep the gals out of his pants and u:rned arotmd to shake his but for the audience. Later, the band harangued the audience into a halfhearted singalong as they played a song called "Fuck Yeah." It's not all gooffng-off and adolescent humor; D.O.RK. shows pull the audience in. They play with intensity, tlnowlng their entire being into their music. Their uptempo, jovial songs make it impossible not !o bounce along with the beat As Blat ft'anucly beats the high hat, his face wrought u/ith intensity, it seems as if he doesn't have time to breafhe.
