"This is something... a part of a national movementfor higher education to be acmuntableto its public," Worster said.

Foreigne for'The n0problem Translation ByRYANIIRMSTRONG rarmstLTomscd.edu Meho's . production of larry Shue's "Ihe Foreigner" escorts the audienceaway from their daily.worries with the hurnor and allection of its characters.

Award-winning director Terry Dodd usesShue'swords to movethe play along but first takes the audienceto a homey lodge.

In the play, Sgt. "Froggy" IaSueur, a demolition o(pert, tales his friend Charlie to a ffshing lodge in Georgia to get him away from the troubles of having his wile in the hospital back home. Frog:gytells the owner of the lodge that Charlie doesn't speak English so his friend won't have to interact with other lodge members while he goeson a weekendtraining expedition. Wbile

pretending,Charlieoverhearssecrets of other lodgers.

Studying the set beforethe play begins is entertainment in ibelf, Searchingthrough the knick-knacks such as family pictures, collector spoonsor evena plate with a pictue of former President linury Carter easesthe onlooker into the atmosphereof the set.

Acting in the play are loren Cogswell as Froggy and Benjamin CowhickasCharlieBaker.The scenes with Cogswelland Cowhickareprobably someof the stongest and most tighfly playedscenesin the production. Both actors are strong, making the audience instantly undeistand their characters.

Froggy has set it up for Charlie to stay a few days at the lodge,but Charlie insists that he mustn't be

bothered.Frogg/ brews up a clever schemeto introduce Charlie to the owner of the lodge Betty Meeks,asa foreignerwho doesn'tspeakEnglish.

Jennifer fordan plays Meeks as though she were your grandma, s$eet and welcoming. Meeksis deciding whetheror not to sellthe lodge becauseof her age,Yet her troubles surrounding whether to keep the lodgeor not get lost in the plot asher gueststakethe stagp.

Charlieis introducedto the other colorful charactersaround the lodge, such as Catherine Simms played by JessicaBvans and Rev. David tre playedby Liam Speros. initiallv but warms Simmsis cold ta up assheconffbs in Charlie.The devious [ee wear$a nice-guymask,but his Fue intenftns begin to seepout around the edges.

Catherine's int€llectually deffcient brother, Bllard, played magnificently by Brian Kusic,catchesthe heart of the audience from his entrance. He respecdullyand honestly playsa young man who hasa mental ilisability but a strong heart.

Just as Kusic's perfonnance mal<esEllard loved,the perforrrance of feff A. Simpsonas Owen Musser makeshim hat€d.

Muss€rbeginsby ridlsrrling Charlie and moveson to corupirewith ke in order to steal inheritance money ftom Catherine and Ellard. His Ku Klux Klan membershipaccentuat€s the feelingof disgust and sobersthe audiencefrom laughsto ilread.

The use of Southern accentsby the entire cast stayedmostly sbong tiroughout the show with few sliP ups.

Lighting probleins during the show took away from character relationshipoo! stage.In spite of the first act blackout and the lack of one at the show'sffnale' the actorspulled through asthough nothing had hap pend.

Dodd'sexpertise,having directed and written plays throughout Colo. rado, shows in this production of "The Foreigner."

The play was originally performed at the Milwaukee Repertory Theahe in 1983. Its successtook the show to an Off-Broadwaylocation at Astor PlaceTheate. Through the show's initial run, Shue actually played both Froggy and Charlie on differentnights.

Don't be a shanger, go and see "The Foreigner."

I have a problem. I live in the dorms and I am old enough to buy alcohol. Everyone who isn't old enoughwants meto buy it for them. I don't real$ care,but lve beenstilTed for beer and sometimesit's a hassle.

What shouldI do?

-Getting Used Chick Ah, Used,now you how how seductivepoweris,But sinceyou do indeedhave the power,use itl Tell all of your amigosthat you will not hot down to the liquor store unless money is in hand, preferablywith a tip included.

Hech make it mandatory. You getto choosethe amount, say,$ 10 or $20 a tip. Youcan becomea wealthy person.You may even decideto go into poliucs. And that's the deal or they can squeal.And they can squeal anywayif you don t feellike goingon a mission for them. Seizethe poncr, and you can sign.ofl "KissMy Patoo tie." An easyfix.

Illck: It never fails to shock me some of the stupid shit people call "problerrs," when a more cleverperson would seeit as a solution (in this casefinancial).

When I first went to collegeI, too, had the same"problem" of being old enoughto buy booze and thank God. I didn't haveto work at all for the ffrst two semesters(sure,I didn't eat we]l, but man &d I get my drink on).

You see, what you're facing is an opportudty to make the most of thosesmartsthat got you into college in the first place.I believethe French word for it is being an "entrepreneur."

Here's how it goes:YOU charge one six pack for every caseof beer you buy for Fresbnan foe. JOEputs up with it becausehe doesn'thave a choice.It's a real iszueof supply and demand and, seeingas you're older than the rest of your fellow students, you should hrow this, Not to mention, being able to buy booze has alreadydoubledyour chancesof getting laid comparedto the rest of the pimple-faceddorm rab.

My family onceput a sweateron a snall dog I used to have,but that wasonly becauseher hair wasfalling out, poor thing. That is the one and only time that I evertlresseda dog in anything.

Still, therc is a company called Zach &Zffiy that makestheseproducts for pets.

Reading the description of the boots on Amazon is laughable at tim€s.

f most underage college stude.ntsare alike, then the thougbt of hrrning 21 carries a lotof sentiment.AndDenver is a city of opportunity, even if 21 hasnot yet arrived.

A person has a long time to wait beforeher or she can actually indufue in city nightlife, 7,665 days to be exact. Being old enough to lirr alone and make decisionsabout education, 6nances,and life in generalis not a factor when tr]'iDg to get lnto a bar. New alenues and opportunities to experienceliberati,onare ubiquitous,but certainly resficflons apply if one is under 21. ltre innate natu€ of being young createsa strong yearning to €nplore,a feat that is satis$ing and readily amilableto anyone,eventhe underagestudents. there are a wide variety of options to explore in Denverdependingon an individual's particular niche.

First on the list of hangouts for underage students is one with more commercial appeal: nightclubs. The common misconceptionby the unfamiliar is that nightclubs are only for people2l and up, which in many cases is true, Thereare a few clubsin Denver, howerar,that;havenights when people 18 years and-older are admitted. For example,ClubVinyl, at 106 and Bmadway,is opentii 18 and older on Fridays and Saturdays.Vrnyl atEactsa diverse crowd becausethere are ttree dilTerent levelsand tlemes simultaneorrs$ operating wi$in one building. The basementis ibvoted to hiphop oance, the ground ldel is the technofloor and upstairs is miie of a communicationgearedatrnoiphere where peoplecan sit down an{ talk with background musicand fe*lvities, To geta goodsLice of &versitv #d interaction with a vaPhoto by(oRA(tMP/ckemp4@mscd.edu riety of people,hitting alt three levels is the best way to achievesocial satiation. fason Terranova, 20, said he has fun every time he goesto the club. He addedit is not hard to make connections with people,and it mostly has to do with the environment.

"I have met some of the coolest peopleI how at the club. Therereally is a goodmix gf people.I mean,everyone is looking for somethingto do on Friday and Saturdaynights, regartlless of age,"he said.

Next on the list are hangoutsthat are relatively new on the scene,but that have proven to be the new rage.

Hookah lounges have explodedas social hangouts. Implied by the name, hookah loungesare placesthat people can go to pitch in on guiltless,flavored tobacco.If smoking is not a personal interest,the cultural experienceis incenti!€ to experiencethe trend. Some hookah loungesfeaturea Middle-Eastern theme and othersare more locally generic.The admiftanceageis 18 and up.

ElenaVolsky,20, a paychologymajor at Metro, saidshehasbeengoingto hookahloungessincebeforethey startedenforcingthe 18 and up admittance rule. Shesaid that she and her friends ail go there when they want a late-

night spotto congegate and socialize, "The hookah bar is a gioodplaceto hang out and spendsomequality frme with fiends," Volskysaid."My farorite one is Marrakech oll of ColoradoBoulevard and EvansAvenua" The most haditional among underage hangouts, are colleehouses.

Colleehousesare classic monumcnts that have stood the test of time. They have provided a place for everyoneto get together and socialize.In Denver there aresomereally neat coffeehouses tuckedaway that might not be aswellhown as Starbucks. Stella's Coffeehouse on 14b and Pearl is an eclectic spot that is ctawling with interesting people.Stella'sis a cory place that invites peopleto come down with their colTeeor tea and work on their homework, current pastime, or just relax.

Until calfeine becomesillegal, everyone and anyonecan walk through the doors.If tea is an interest, Stella'shas it all, from Chai tea to green tea, and e!€rything in between.

Ananda Schaal. 34. a barista at Stella's, and a former Mefo photo journalism major said great things about the coffeehouse.

"It's a real colleehouse,its not like a Starbucks.It has a greatenergyto it. It fosterscr€ativity... It is a nice welcoming place for peopleto come," Schaal said.

MagdaGarbowski,19, a studentat the University of Coloradoat Boulder, frequents Stella's. She said she likes Stella's becausepeople are so friendly, She said nobody acts bothered oi rushed.

"I approachshangersin Stella'sall the time just to seewhat they a.neworking on. They never seemto feel like I am intruding. They always welcome me and gladly show oII their work. I have made some realS .good friends at Stella'sjust by beingcurious,"Garbowskisaid.

Stella'sis a prototype indeed,but the concept for real coffeehousesis evident througbout Denver. There are a plethora of other coffeehouses that are the cornerstonesof eclectic "nd real socialhangouts for underage pmple. Paris on the Platte, locatedon 156 and Platte, is a gr€at coffeehouse and rcstaurant that dmws a similar crowd to Stella's.Another convenient (open24 hours a day) and real cofleehouse is Ieela EuropeanCaf6on 156 and Champa.Leelaoffersdeliciousdining and free wirelessLnternet for late nights and early mornings when the inner muse complacendy resists creativity in the redundant furnishings of a familiar domain.

Therehave beenbefore,and inevitably will be again, nights that seemingly have no potential for underage people.Howevecthere is alwayssomefhing to do.

Ciubs, hookah lounges and coffeehousesare a few good options to explore.Whateverthe appeal,whether dancingand experiencingnew culture, or fying new kinds of t€a and meeting new peoplewhile simultaneouslytrying to crarn for an exam,the appealis in good company and there is a huge scenein Denverwaiting to be explored.

The "Piano Man" sang another song for Denveron Feb.28 to a packedPepsiCenter crowd. Though it had been quite a few years sincehe had playedin Denver the last being his touring concertwith EltonJohn- Billy Joel did not missa beat.

'Angry Young Opening his show n'ith Man," a hit from 1976, he setan obvioustone, evenat the ageof 59.

Unlikebandssuch asThe Rolling Stonesor Chicago,who tend to show their ageon stage, Joelneverdisappoints.

Whether it's singing the dark "Captain Jack," or having the audiencechoosebetween three songsand playing the winner ("Balladof Billy the Kid"), hekeepsthe audiencecaptivated with the albumsongs.

And Joel'sbanter with the crowd between

At one point, with tongue in cheek,Joel seatsbecause thankedthosein the nose-bleed he neededmoney to "pay his car insurance," a coy referenceto his problemswith drinking and driving. Then, Joel reminiscesabout time spent in Boulder, where he wrote one of his earliersongs,"CoIdSpringsHarbor".

Evenwhen Joe[put the piano aside,put on a Rockieshat, and picked up a guitar to play "We Didn't Start the Fire," the crowd erupted.

Joel even took the spotlight off himself $'hile bringing on a roadienamedChainsaw!o sing "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC.

It's easyto understand that all of the songsincf uded on Don't LookAway come from Voegele'spersonal exlxrience with life. Every song is unique, and lbegele isn't afraid to take risks with her strong vocal abilities, as she can achiere many ranges of musical notes. Her songs translate a rery ma-

TheZen of hitchhikingangels MEtn0P0rmlil Pickingup hitcbhikershasalways beendramaticallyrisky business,or at least that is lvhat the media and the entrrtainmetrt industry tells us. Ihat sort of fear mongeringcan havepmfound influence.But not on peoplelike rne. I alurayspick up every wayward freakthmwing out the geshrre.

And that is exacdy how it went down. I was speedingaway from a party gonebad when I saw an enormous human being standing about 3O yards from a bus stop waving his thurnb at tafrc. Natually, I decidd to pickhim up, soI srvervedoverto the shoulderand made an abrupt stop,It wasobviousthat I wantedto givehim a ride, but when he lunbered over to my passengerside door he only stoodthere making clumsy gestures, thrusting his bodyto and fro.

I reached across the cab and openedthe door, but before I could ask questionshe collapsedto the seat holding his hands out in front of his chest like a Ilrannosaurus of some kind. It was dark, so I didn't quite notice all at onc€that his hands were swollen like gralrfruits and bleeding profusely We stared at each other for a number of secondsbeforeI yieldedto a practical approach and askedhim how he wasdoing.

"You don't rcagr.va rne?" he asked" I didn't. He was a heavi$ built man, a mix of pr:re muscleand age, who had thelookof a seriousbiker;not anything resenbling thoeedressedin pseudomw delightingtheir meth-addictqt gtulftiendswithfrttorbs.Sus- .

I shook my head in responseto his question,not sure whether or not I wasmisrecognizingthis person.

"I'm the leaderof the local Hell's Angels," he said, "third in command nationwide."

I wasn't sure if be w-asserious, but he came acrosswith such a so' lerely feral senseof passionthat I felt obligedto take ri- at his word.

He told me that he was in serious houble andthat heneodedto goto the hospital.

The man was obviously drunk, If it r,vasn'tthe overpoweringstench of wbiskeythat gavehim away it was the fact that he insistedon describing to me exactly where the world had gonewrong, in his view.

He nas shoclad that anyone nou.ld be willing to help somebody by the likes of him. I explainedthat he was nofhing more than a person walking around on a cold night in needof a ritle, and his afrliationsrpere inelevant to our situation. tle threatenedto hug me,but his handswereso drenchd in bloodand pink fissuethat suchan act wasnot pmne to be teken kindly by any personin my position.

He digressedfrom nearly every topic he brought up, which went in the order of something like the philosophyof life to politics to murder and drugs, and, finally, to motorcycles.All of what he had to say was remarkably on-point.

He would grin wickedly at c:rrs we

The thought of nnlking into an emergencyroom- him beingthe personhe claimedto be,coveredin blood which may not havebeenent'rely his onn - didn't seemto e.:rcite bim very much,But it wasclearby the nature of his wounds,and by the swellingthat had taken over his forearms,that he neededmedicalattention.

He insisted on going in alone, saying, "I had no business getting mixed up in his mess," and t agrted with him. He left me with $10, which I found well after he had gone, and the promisethat the Angels were on my side.What he meant by that, I am not entirely certain, but on a remote highway somewhereis an old biker spittingon a passingminivan, grinning and taking a senseof religior.rs pride in the fact that he is one of the few on the road who are still alira.
