Crouch,an artistic consulta:rtfor NewYork's Jazzat Lincoln Centerprogram,pointeilto parallels betweentJle country'smost enduritrglegislative anil cultural contributions.

In excerptsfrom his essays"Constitution and tle Blues' ald "Blues to Go,' Crouch underlined the cornmonalitiesbetween ti.e blues' eiasticity as an art form and tle Constitution's ability to 'redress previousshortconilgs."

The musicalequationbehindthe blues is simple: three degreesfrom the major scale, arranged in a predictable pattern ald re-' peated.

The funclarnental tenetsofthe U.S.Constitution are simiiarly sinpie.

The framers' primal concernfor individual liberty, for transparencyand for 4ccountability at the highestlevels of governmentstandas tle document'sikiving principles.

Crouchrepeatedlypointedto both the blues' and the Constitution'sability to evolve.

"Tte Constitutionassunes tlat nothing is constant," Crouch said, referring to its inherent power to be self-regulatedtlrough amendments. . Similar'ly,oneof the marks of bluesnusic is its capacityfor inprovisation anil for its variation on a basictlene.

While tle art form encouragesartistic liberli baseil off a basic fornula, the document's ability to evolvepointsto what Crouchdescribed "socialredemptionthroughpolicy."

The Constitution seespower as a dangerous tool, while tle blues adrlressestle darker side of romancb'andits toll on tle hunan spirit.

Both seek to exorcisettrese separatedangers. Accorclingto Crouch,both are bome of a similar' "kagic optimism' which takes into accountttre wont sideof humannature.

-Ilagic optimisn does not expect to perfect men ancl women,' Crouch said. "It assurnes that folly, comrption, netliocrity and ' i.ucompetenceare tj.e clemonswho arrive season after season. . . (It's) proof of ou1ability to learn and to fight until our learning takes hold of divisions in our governnents, our policies and our homes."

From abolition to voting rights for women,

the Coastihrtion'samendmentshavesupersâ&#x201A;Źded the prejudicesand sins of its framers.

The docunent's ability to transform itself functions like tle blues' ability to tn:rsform its players.

"The Constifutionis a docunent that functions like ... blues-baseilmusic," Crouchsaid.

"It values inprovisation, the freedom to constantly reinterpret the meanings of our documents. It castsa cold eyeon hurnanbeingsand on the laws tley make;it assumesthat evil will not foreverbe allowetlto passby."

fonrecops U.N. Assemb Generol Septemberis an exciting month for the United Nations.Most of the year,this intergovernmentalgiant passesresolutionsthat are inevitablyignored,gets somemediaattentionand sits iclly by while the world plungesever closer to hell.

Every year at this time ttre United Nadons holds its General Assenbly meeting. Over a hundredheads of state arrive in New York to take ttre podiumto discussdomesticand international affain. Every nenber nation in tle UnitedNationsis invited to the neeting, making it an international-relationshoopl,aFollowing are someof the best anil worst momentsof ttre 61* GeneralAssemblv.

The ooepersonI took seriouslyfrom the assemblywas also tle orly personrpho madean outqrardeffort to include humor in his speech, President Uugo Cnavezof Venezuel,a.Chavez and I havevery clifferentviews on govenance, yet everytirn: I heal him speak I wonder if I Liuldnt love him more. Chaveztold U.N.repre-

that peacedoesnot comefromwar, sentatives freedomdoesnot cdmefrom oppression anrl peopleeverywhere arereadyfor a newworld.

Chavezalso openlyassertedtbat tle United Nations was "worthless" and has "no powâ&#x201A;Źr to makrcany impact on tle terrible sihrationin ttre world.' He evensuggestednoving the UJ{. buildingto a nationin tle 'global south,"suchas Venezuelia.

The term global soutl describesthe socio-economicdifferences.Hween Countries of the Northem and Souther+hemispheres.

I watchedhis speechand nearly leapt from my desk with excitement.Sure, he used some ad hominemattacks that may havehurt Bush's feelings, but Cbavez stuck a nuch-needed spark of debatein the GeneralAssembly.

However,I believe Esteban lazo of Cuba" gave tle most inportant speechof ttre event.

I agreedwith tlre clean-airactivists when they pushedtheir indoorsnoking ba:ron Colorado. It was the sort of pmpagancla tlat cor:ld makePhillip Morris envious.I cal understand why nonsmokerswant - na5qclesewe- clean air in work environmentsand restaurants.

I do not understauiltle bar ban, tltough.

Doesanyonego to a bar for healt!-conscious reasons,other th:r to exetcisettreir ever-inportant liver?

An outdoorsnoking ban is onebandwagon I cannotjump on. It vergeson being,well, whiny.

The complaints from nonsmokersbear a stiking resemblancefrom case to case, They are upset tlat smokershuddleenmas.se arou::d the entrancewa1rsof buildings ald forcetlrc whinersto take a deepbreath of selfrighteousnessbefore they skirt into the sa.fe air of the building.

I adnit I am a fairly casualsnoker. I can often be found in ftont of tle Tivoli, smoking with my compatriotson brief breaks ftom tlLe stressof producinga weekly studentnewspaper. I took onewbile writing ttris column.

And smokersare well awareof tlte healttr risks associatedwith srroking.It is impossible for a.nyAnerican not to be.fblevision inundatesviewerswittr anti-smokingarls paiclfor by cigarettecompades.And we are reninded every tine a health-consciouspasserbygoes out of tleir way to inform us tbat cigaretles kill or wavestheir hand in front of their face manner. in an oh-so-pretentious The Silverand GoldRecord,UCD'sfaculty and staff newspaper,quotedAuraria Higher EducafionCenterboardnenber Iarry lopez askingwhy nonsmokersmust "fight ttreir way

tilrllT[[ flUlfi nqnane@nscd.edn tlrough smoke"to get to a building.Now,krry I would not considermyselfto be in peak physical conilition, but if you have to "fight" your way tlrough smoke,you shouldreally hit the gnn.

Thereremainsthe ever-presentargument ttrat tle offensiveodorof cigarettesperneates tle entrywaysand lingers long after smokers havereteated to ttreir offrcesa:rdclassrooms.

Of course,if we beginbaming offensiveodors, we will have to add Bathing 1010 into our freshmancurriculum. Sorry, Mr. Hippie, but tlose skar <ydreadlockshavegot to go.

All jokes aside, the issue comesdom to personal liberties and tlte exercise thereof.

While tlis campus Inay house its share of simpletons,we have to respect tlte lifestyle choicesthey make.

If the ban is passed,Auraria nay haveto face a smoker uprising, the likes of which I would be unafraid to lead. Defiant smokers alrea{y.ignore the signs instucting them to perform their smoky deeds20 feet from the buildings. More legislation would only emboldenus.

Fourteenyears after the birtl of tle Aninal EnterpriseProtectionAct, the United States is finally usilg this invaluable tool to prosecute those who stand in the way of animal research and proiluct testing.

Sincethe act was pa.ssed,nonviolentobjectors to animal cruelty have still beenallowedto affect the botton lines of businesseswhoseonly crimesare grossviolationsof ali::ral welfare.

For the frst tine, tle act has beenusedto convict six activists from the group Stop l{untingdonAninal Cruelty.Now,ideologicalanimalwellare supportersndghtthink twice beforecrusadingfor a causeat tlte cost of big business.

The prison terms range fron 366 days to six years. The activists were orderedto cumulatively pay $1 million restitution to Huntingdon Life Sciences,a British animal-testingcompany, which has a lab in NewJersey Huntingdon, which has lost a sigrificant chunk of businesstlrough SMC's campaign, "was gratefirl that justice was served,"according to general ma'ager Mike Caulfield. The company'scomplaints.against SIIAC include

tlreats and harassmentin the form ofblack faxes (sheetsof black papersent to congesta fax machinea:rddepleteits toner) andvandalismof companyand employeeproperty.

What is disturbingis tlat noneof tle people convictedso muchas dialed a numberor tlrew a rock. They were all found guilty basedon tle fine print of the Animal Enterprise Protection Ad. of.7992,u/hich includes conspiracyto dis' rupt or otherwiseharm 41 anirnalgafsrpriss.

It is alarmingenougb tle governmentequates animal hberationwith terrorism. Evenmore so is a fine line t}at has beenestablishedbetween First Amendnentrights and criminalfalaticisn.

A fire line that is blurry,at best.

The six membersof SHACoperateda website that provided,amongotler things, personal fulormation about Huntingdon employeesand affiliete5, such as home adalresses.Such informationalloweclhomesto be vandalizedor called with tlreats. In response,firms cut tleir associations witl Huntingdon, which affected the company'sbottomline.

I will not discusstle ethics behind SHAC's metlods here. I will, however,attempt to nake a casefor its cause.

Concerningrelationshipswith Huntingdon,aly publicity is bad publicity.

Shouldwe realizeanimalsare sentientbeings - onesunfortunateenoughto bebom outsidehuna:rity, deniedthe privilegesof our species- we mightlook backon pastpracticeswith disgust.

By GlarkeReader creader3@mscd.edu Thoughthe ParamountCafeis invithg and colorful, its fare is unremarkableald its serice lacking.

Situatedonthe 16nStreetMall. insidewhdt usedto be the entrance to the Pa.ramountTheater, the Ca.fe'swalls are fuIl of pictures of celebritiespast and present.From Marilyn Monroeto Kurt Cobah,it's hard to look around ald not seea famousIace. There are televisions everywhere- most of them tuned to sports- a:rdwrth an always{ively crowd, the Cafe makes a good spotfor checkingout the gane.It's a welcoming restaurant gleat for people-watchilg,with a casualatmosphereancla relaxedvibe.

Black'a:rd-whitetile iends the Cafea hint of classicambiance,but a jukeboxwith both oldiesanil new jams obscureswhich era,if any,the Cafeis trying to embody.

One thhg is certai:::tle service a:rd tlre food are below par.

The servers,while frientlly, have a lnack for brhging the wrong order twice - if it showsup to the right table at all.

TheBBQRanchBurger($7.65) is stackedvrith American cheese, bacon,barbecuesauceand chipotle ra:rch dressing,but the meat was

dry a:rd overcooked.This is one of a wide selectionof burgersrang' ing fromthe OldFashioned($6.45) to the Parisian,which comesvrith B6arnaisesauceald straw onions ($7.4s).

If atmospherewere the sole factor in malang4 dining choice, tJreParamountCaJewoulth't be a bad place to pick. It's lively, local and fi11edwith the revelry of a farniliar ilovmtownhaunt.But if good fooil is the goal, diners would be betler servedcontiluing on ther stroll downtJrema.ll.

But after the initial fear of the restaurant's skuzzyatnosphere has subsidedald new customers ieceive their food, they usualiy begin

singing a different tune. The little restaurant, which seats naybe 25 people at fitll capacity, could put Chipotleout of business,if only nore peoplehad heardof it.

Their mainfarea:rdclaimto fame,like Chipotle, is gia:rt burritos. But at El Taco,tley come smotheredin vegetariangreenchili. Thoughthe ingredientsare standard,the proprietors have donea.nexcellentjob in choosingthe perfectelementsfor tleir uniqueburritos.

Each burrito comes stuffed with rice, a choiceof meat (tongue,steak, pork or chicken), beals ald cheese,plus a magicalblendof spices that bring unparalleledflavor. It is as addictive as heroinThe burritos cal be a bit hot. but even a gringowho can barelyhanrllethe spicinessof a bell pepperwill enjoyEI Taco'sspices.

The rest of the menufareswell too, offering an array of Mexicanstandards.

While the burritos cost malte a quarter more tlan Chipotle's,tle rest of the menu can be a little pricey,and the servingsare skimpy.

The enchiladascost more thal nine bucks ald are smallerthan a deckof cards.

To vrash down tle spiry burrito good:ress, try a glass of horchata,a sweet cilnamon rice milk. For dessert,they havehomemadeflan ancl cheesecake,which provide ttre perfect sweet endingto a meal.

Don't let its appearancefool you. El thco de Mexicois the bue definition of a hole ir the wall. However,their uniqueblend of spicesand unparalleledingredients,Iike thâ&#x201A;Ź best dope on Capitol Hill, may convert first-time diners hto burrito junkies with just onetaste.

By GeofSollcrman gwollerm@mscd,edu The lunch crowd at the Tivoli Student Union had no choice. From the basement to the third floor everyone was forced to oef +heir. frealr

nn

. Freak Street Project set up their sound in the atrium Sept. 21, ard without lyrics or a vocalist its focus was shgular: uninhibited, end-of-theweek funk.

The only downside to the bardl Thursday performance was that the Tivoli acous-

tics left much to be desired. Though Freak Street's tunes were irresistible for some, tJre high-pitched horns ard conflagration of sound were a distraction for others. Nobody, however, was seen lodging a complaint. ln 2OO2 bassist Tenzirg Shrestha joined guitarist Imkong Yaden to form Freak Street. CongaplayerKaivon Tolooee, a Metro student, joined in 2003. The bard has since gone through severa-lincarnations looking for the right sound.

"We went through like tlree drummers in one week," Tolooeesaid.

AII that searching seems to have paid off. Good funk is tight and these days Freak Street - nominated in Westword for 2OO6 Best Funl<,/SoulBald in Denver - has its hatches battened down. Tolooee said he considersthe current lile-up the best yet.

The Tivoli appearance was the latest among several they have played on carnpus. But though there were maly onlookers at the Tivoli, Tolooeesaid Freak Street

is lookilg for more audience participation at its shows. They have been busy playing Denver-areavenues four or f,ve times a month, including a second show after their Tivoli appearance at 1515 Restaurant. They are p1a:rning to take a breal< in October to regroup, write new songs and fine-tune their energetic sound.

Toiooee said Freak Street members listen to a lot of different stuff, but tlnt Ozoma i, Miles Davis and John Scofie1d were big on the list.

Horns, keyboards, guitars, bass ald percussion come together to create the Freak Street sognd. Though rooted firmly in funk, the band s penchantfor other styles is obvious. Keyboardsolos are reminiscent of Jimmy Smith. Guitar riffs maintain the signature imperative pace of funk but occasionally recall a Southern rock solo, like Dickey Betts letting loose on a hot rendition of "Melissa." The horns - obviously influenced by legend Maceo Parker - echo

the free-form sounds of Charlie Parker. The drumming is high-energr and on poht.

"We all come from a different backgror.rnd,'Tblooeesaid, pointing out that his own influence is Iranian because his familv is from Iran.

With so many influences, Freak Street's sound remains a question: funk, jazz, rock or soul?They couldjust as easily cover Pink Floyd's "Money" as they could Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain." But either way, it's hard to deny the compelling rnix of brass notes, electric strings, keyboard plunking and drum thumping ttiat is Freak Str9et Project.

By Eric Lansing lausing@nucd,edu There is a sayi:rgin sports: "Neverput the game in the referee'sha:rds."However,the refereesused those handsto grab the gameaway from the Metro men'ssoccerteam in a hard-foughtbattle againstthe No. 1 tea:l in the country,Fort Le'wis,in a 2'0loss at AurariaFieldSept.22.

The anticipated matchup between the Rocky Mountain Atl etic Conferencepowerhouses,Metro and Fort Lewis, proved to be worth the billing as the Slryhawksused a late goal by RMACPreseason Player of tle YearJohnCur:liffeto keeptheir perfect seasonintact. The goal, however,car:rewith a questionablecall by the referees.

Fort kwis forward Chris Ye appearedto be offsides as the Slryhawkswere in possessionof the bail. The referee'sflag went up to showthat he knew about the offsides, a:rd Metro coachesand players yelledthat the gameshouldbe stopped.The game didn'tstop,ald Cunliffewent on to scorehis leagueIeadhg13i"goal.

Madnessensuedas Metro'scoachesrushed. onto the fle1dand yelled in dismay about the apparent blorm call.Therefereesmor,edthe coaches backonto the sidelineas they hudclledand discussed the call.

After a few milutes of dehberation, the refereesup-1 held the goal, sayingthat Ye was offside untrl Metro gainedcontrol of the ball, calceling out the offside.

The goal put the scoreat 2-0 with 10 minutesleft in the game.

'The refereehad his flag up for an offside that he adnittedlycalled,'Parsonssaid."Hisjudgmentwas Uiat we clearedthe ball to negatethe offsidecall, but we ditln't seeit that way."

"My view was that I sawthe ref bring his flag up for a split second,'saidMetrodefenderPat Laughlin, who was in the center of the play. 'But after tlat, if they scorea goal, you obviouslyhave to complain aboutthat, and the call drdn'tgo our way.But it's soc. cer.Youcan't rea11y take it back."

Fort LewisheadcoachJeremyGunnagreedwith the referees'call a:rdwas glad his team stay focused and continuedto play.

"Weplayeda ball forwardandit got nowherenear our striker, who madeal atlacking run,' Gum said.

"But they (Metro)won the ba.ll,went into the attack and at that point in time, it's a new phase of play.

There are always going to be sometumi:rg points, and coachesare always going to be lookilg for everything."

Laughlin believes this was t1re best garre his team has playedall year.And though he thfuks that tlte controversycouldhavehad a:r inpact on tlte outcomeof the game,Laughlin believeshis team is on their way toward beconing a greatteam.

The offenseput forth a great effort but looked tired at times, and substitutions were frequently made,especiallywitl the forwards.The Roa<lrunners had six shots, but only two were arywhere near on target. The scoreboarddidn't show the tenacity the 'Rulners brought to Auraria Field against the best teamir DivisionII. "I thought Metro cameout and playedextremely well," Gunnsaiil. "It is alwayssuch al excitedgarne against Metro. It's al$'ays a great battle ald i{ they couldhavegottenthe ball to drop oncefor them, it is a differentgame."
