More than 3(X)farnilv memben, friends and colleaguesgarhered-to share memories of Hay's life and to hear the impact he made on th6 Mero At the cerrmony, friends spoke about their favorite memories of Hay. Dennis Bergquist, Student Government Assembly interim presiden! described his fiiend as a soft*poken, unassuming person evervbodv liked. dH" -.d" it diftcult to get across campus because so many people knew him and liked him and warted to talk to him," Bergquist said.

He said Hay worked tirelessly at Meto, bying to eam a degree as a single falher and volunteering much of his time to shrdent organizationslike the SGA. "You really had to work hard to keep up with Steve," Bergquist said. 'That's the way he approached things."

Hay was always able and willing to help a friend, he said.

"With Steve, all you had to do was ask," Bergquist said. "After being here six years, it wasn't until I formd Steve that I found that one frien4 a best friend, in Colorado."

Brooke Dilling, who worked withllay at Meho Student Activities, recalled the b:ansformation he made while af Mebo.

"He came in wearing skindght Wra:rglen and cowboy boob," Dilling said "By dre time he left he was weaxing suits and ties, but inside he alwaln stayed the sa.rne."

Dlling said Hay was a devoted faher, bringing hls daughter, Taylor, 4, and son, Stevie. 7. wi& him wherever he went She said he was also devoted to Metro and forurded the Metro Shrdent kadership Foundation because he want€d to create a Dew h'adition on campus and make it a friendlier place with a greater senseof community.

Another colleague at Student Activities, Tiffany Hamrner, said llay was her best friend and was a great source of support when she was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.

"He hung out with me every day when I had cancer," Hammer said. "I was poor company then, but he was still there for me," Hammer helped Hay form the leadership foundation and said that it would be renamed the Stephen Hay Leadership Foundation in the near future.

A replicoof o wind iurbineis disployed for theCleonAir FoirNov. I ot theTivoli Turnholle.

Renewable and altemative energy re. sources were on display Nov. I at the Tivoli.

The "Clean Air Fair," sponsoredby the SrudentAdvisory Committee to the Auraria Board, Coloradb poUti. lnterest Research Group sfirdent chapter, and the student govemments of Meho, CCD and UCD, promoted allemafive energy.

Power for the public address system came fiom photovoltaic cells located on top of an old work van. lvhich has been converted to nrn on biodiesel. The b:uck, converted by students from Colorado College, also works as a portable biodiesel converter, creating from used cooking ofu the fuel that runs it on-site.

The fair was headlined by a speechfrom Claudine Schneider,former'U.S. Representative Fom Rhode Island, who is known for her sustainable energy policies as well as authoring the Global Warming hevention AcL Schneiderspoke about the lack of federal leadership for renewable energy and how a grassroots movement from the people is needed to force the issue.

'The ffrst step is to educate folks as to wha] we mean by renewable energy," Schneider said. "It is energy that can be continually renewed by nahre. And that means solar powe5 wind power, hydroelectic powe5 it means geothermal and it means using the biomasssuch as biediesel."

SusanEnnis with Western Resource Advocates also spoke brieflv about the windpower option available frough Excel Energy. Excel customersin Colorado have the option of sigrring up for WindSource, which draws power from clean nurning wind power.

Originaly, this service cost a small fee, but according to Ennis, customerswho purghqe wind energT do not have to pay the fuel and pollution cosb other customers PayEnnis said WindSource power is currently sold out and Excel custi-e.s are being put on a waiting list.

"Ii was the light of his life becoming a father," she said.

Stephen continued working as a certi.ffed mechanicuntjl Sept ll,2001 when the auto businessdeclined. He decided to go back to school in 2003 and attend classesat Metro.

It was at Mitro that Stephen flourished as a leader, starting with Student Activifies where he served as a leadership coordinator.

He was elecied as shrdent trus-teeto Metro's Board of Tn:stees in 2004.

'He wanted to advocale for the needs of the shrdents. He wanted to be like a voice for students," Betsy Hay said. 'I think, because of his involvement with student government and srudentactivities,he saw fiere needed to be a bridge between the policy making of the board and what the studenb ach:ally needed and wanted."

Stephen was also engaged in several other groups including Connecting Alumni,

Studenb and Spirit and Meho's Earth Sciences Club, of which he was vice president.

Before graduating this sprin! with a bachelor'sdegreein environmentalscience, Stephen helped form the Mebo Student Leadenhip Fowrdation. whose main mission was to determine and reoresent shrdent needs.

By lfary E.Witlacil wirlaci[@mscrl.edu Federal Iegislation that would make cub to student loans will be heading to the House floor this week.

Origindly passed through the House Education and Workforce CommiEee on July 22, and sponsoredby U.S. Rep. John A. Boehnner, R-Ohio. U.S. House Resolution 609 ciaims to cut inefficient and wastefirl spending from the shrdent aid program.

In an effort to educate students about these impending budget cuts, the UCD Student Govemment Association held a oress conferenceOcl 3l to bring to light the methods by which h:ndine for hisher education will bi cut on the fediral ani statelevel.

Sharon Shirazi, UCD Student Govemment legislative chairperson, called HR 609 "sneaky."

"We're college students;we're here for a reason and we don't want to see the opportunity for fuhrre fimding to be taken awan' Shirazi said.

William Simmons, UCD Sh-rdent Govemment president and organizer of the press conference,said that HR 609 was a "$15 billion attack on social mobility."

According 0o the Oregon Student PubIic lnterest Research Group, students had an unmet need of $31 billion in the 200304 academic year.

Those with the lowest estimated faniilv contributions have the hiehest unmet need.

Cuning $15 billion from federal student loan programs, may, according to OSPIRG, in, creasethis unmet need, and may discourage shrdentsfrom going to college. ln responseto this decreasein student aid funding, College Democrats, the Student Aid Alliarce, Student Aid Action, the Colorado Student Public Interest Research Group student chapters and other student groups are worktng togetheron a campaign to "Stop the Raid on Student Aid.' The organizaUons suggest that shrdents call their representativesin Congress or write le6ers to the editon of their local newspapers.

WfiShrfo, rhesamerhing:freedom Nearly every day I ride the 15 bus on Colfax Avenue. As Denvels most infamous bus line putters along I ffnd myself leaning my head against the window, picking apart my thoughts.

Nearly 50 years ago, a woman named Rosa sat down on a bus where, becauseher skin was not the right colo5 she wasn't zup oosed to be. Rosa was exhausted from her iiob as a seamstessfor rich wfrite people and exhausted by systematicracism.

When I ride the 15, I sit and think about this crazy world in which we live. Civilians die daily in haq due to the U.S. occupation.

There are so many batdes and yet so litle one penon can do.

Sometimes,I feel incredibly small.

When Rosa sat down on that bus, she was in the middle of a huge battle. The U.S. Govemment stated that Rosa wasn't e* tided to human rights because of the color of her skin. She surely endured a sickening amount of racisrn, not only tlirough segregation of schools, wabr fountains and stores, but the way she was heated by the people she encountered every dav.

Deerhoof The RunnersFour (Kill Rock Stars,2005) Any attempts to categorize the sormd of Deerhoofs new album, Ihe Runncrs Fuur, would prove fruidess. While some would consider it a wonderfr.rlpop album, the "pop" qualifter is not at all necessa.ry;only the simplistic beauty of the album matten.

Recorded in the band's Oalland practice-space without any heary posFproduction magic, the album plays like a live show, complete with a jarnming inho, two firll seb of ups and downs, and an encore.

Crcss Canadian Ragweed Garage (Univ-ersal,2005) Cross Canadian Ragweed is a band name that zuggestsa few mdesirable things.

Take the band at their name's face value and ihe expectation is something rmwanted,

The most striking quality of the music is its ability to immediately implant images into the listener's mind. It's an impressive accomplishrnent since a large portion of the lpics, especially those sung by bassist Satomi Matsuzaki, are indecipherable upon fust listen.

'Vivid Cheek Love Song,o a semi-acousticpop ballad that features Matsuzaki's high-pitched voice, gives the immediAte impression of a teenagegirl siting alone in her room listening to her favori0emusic , and dreaming about the boy she likes.

Deerhoof also possessan ability to narne their songs with a haunting darity unfamiliar to most modem bands. While othen may go for long, obscure titles to songs,Deerhoofs malch the tone and feel of the song with precision. The opening hack "Chatterboxes" fits the ambient fashion of the music and lwics. with a skioping feel that suggesha broken music box that wasnever meant io work properly.

"After Me, the Delugen comes quiet and repentanq as if it knows that something wicked this way comes. And the "Deluge" hits like a blessing and a curse all in one, bringing much-needed water to an arid farm, but destroying the crops it was meant to nurture.

Then there's the song about pirates. What could be_cooler than .

All in all, The Runners Four stands out among others released this year as an indeffnable gem, full of the vivid irtragery and trans parency lacking in most modem rock.

The ffrst song, "Fightin' For," starts off a litle slow, but the ball soon gâ&#x201A;Źts rolling as the acoustic guitars and vocals envelope the listener.

It's a deviation from the general tone of the album, but they get back on tack with "Blues For You," a hster love song with an upbeat a$itude that doubles as a feelgood, party song, The album may not appeal to everyone.

It does incorporate a little of what everyone tends to feel from time to time. It doesn't rush into things, but takes the time to explain them in depth. Those who take the time to listen will ffrd it unfoqgettable.

Jamie Cullum CatchinsThles ft'en'e,i005) It takes someone talented, or a litle nuts, to take a hiphop song and tum out a great jazz performance. But that s whatJamie Cullum did when he covered "Frontin" the 2003 zummer hit by Pharell of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. What the performance showed most was Cullum's flexibility as ar axtist, and on his latest album, Calching Tales, be's shetching a litde rnore.

His second rnajorJabel relea,se, Tales ffnds this 2Gyear-old Brit pushing himself firrther as a l)zricistand songwriter. Whereas his last album, Twe*lsunething, bolstered ltself on the covers, this album's highlights are his own compositions.

Cullum's lyrics can be hit or miss, going from infrospective to glossily clich6. He seemsto struggle with the timing of the lFics on the opener, "Get Your Way," produced by hiphop madman Dan "The Automator" Nakamurq which is a hiphoppy mix of jaz piano and that elusive "something else" heard in everyhing Dan the Au0omator touches.

He does manage to squeezein a couple covers with the standard "I Onlv Have Eves For You," which he gl"es ari endearing, modem touch, and a subdued jaz-pop treatment of the Doves' "Catch the Sun," which lacks the shength of the storming original.

Where he stumbles lyr"dly, he makes up for in crafting consistently carchy melo dies. His unfailing skills as an insbumentalist are on the piano, organ and guitar, which he picks up most everywhere on Tales.

Throughout the album, Cullum flexes his pianist muscle, laying down some simple, but energefic and melodic solos that make the entire songs worthwhile. This talent lies mosdy in his ability to seamlesslycarry the piano through different genres and blends, Tracks like "Oh God" and "Nothine I Do" show Cullum to be comlortable wirh jazz piano, shifting to R&B on "Mind Trick"" on to a tropical island with "Our Day Will Come"

edly the album's hgfrhght, where he pro. vides commenta5r for his cornmanding vocals with a flawless tickling of the black and whites. "My Yard" is a perfect way to close out the album, a ffnal romantic plea and the most contempora.ry tune on the disc. The fading notes of the Rhodes piano beg for another listen.

Some rnight pass off Cullum's sound as contived for his jazz-pop tea.hnent, or for tying io sormd like a modem Bobby Darin or EltonJohn. His rnodernizing of j- ^i*t be awkward or embarrassing if he weren't such a damn talented musiciarr.

Sensation Junkies Oncefor the Money (Sarathan, 2ffi5) Mambo sormds, a deep scratchy voice, and lyrics including, "my misery spreads like mayonnaise all over the one I love," has the SensationJunkies bringing forth a soft, contemporary sound that will appeal to conservative rock listeners who want a litde adventrre.

Flobots Plarwtr {Seif rclea,sed.2fi)5) h"-Uos i. a local group of hiphop artists that owe much to the underground renais sance that is informing much of the out-of thewav niches of the music scene.

By Megan Carneal mcarneal@nscd.edu Hardcore is a dish best served bloody, and the ffnest way to taste the true brutality of this gerne is to experience a [ve show.

Bury Your Dead might not be the most poetic or pmfound hardcore band out there, but for those craving a vicious nighq this is the band to see.

Bury Your Dead consisb of vocalist Mat Bnrso, guitarisb Eric Fllis and Slim B, bass ist Rich Casey and drummer Mark Castillo.

The band fomred in 2001 in Boston. a citv notorious for its intense hardcore scene.

Their debut album on Mctory Records, Cooer Your Trark. was released in 2004, and was met with high acclaim, due mostly to the band's blistering live sets,Their new allcr.nn,Aline, is the band's ffnt live album.

Aliae was recorded during the now infamous show in which lead singer Bruso was hlt ln dre head with a guitar during their second song. Bruso managed to play the rest of the gig, despite the blood from his head wound dripping down on him and the crowd.

Some of the members of Bury Your Dead are 'staightedgen," which mears they do not consurre drugs or alcohol.

The staight-edge creed is common in the hardcore scene, but the band's beliefs do not really carry over into their mwic. Their music is more about being heary than insightfr:l and those 4ggressivethemes make for a ferocious live show.

Stefanie Allison and Megan Wittenburg each tallied l0 kills for the Roadrunners, while Breezy Tuck roughed up ll digs for Metro.

The women looked good in game three, holding a G3 lead, but could not keep up the momentum they needed to shut down the Lopen.

"I don't know what it was, nerves or something," Green said after the game. "We just were not playing our .A' game against Nebraska-Keameyon Friday. We were playing more of a 'B' game."

The Roadrururer loss ended the sixconsebutiveviclorv streak. while it was also Meho's ffnt homi loss of the year.

The team had won ib past 12 mahhes at the Auraria Dvent Center and was 90 at home for the 2005 season.

Widr the energy from the crowd, the home game had its advantages.Having lost to the Tigers at their den on Sept. 10, it was time to show their power. nWe knew we needed to beat Fort Hays to keep our ranking," Green said.

And that's exartly what they did, cranking out a 3{ sweep with scoresof 3G23, 3O 25, 3G23. Metro keeps its No. 2 ranking.
