"We are hoping iieoptewltt mme in and not only ap preciate the beauty of the artwork, b$ to lopt_at some of the Fe€sagmofthe artists." Someof the piecesin the exhibit are more prominent, like legendary New York City artist Iady Pink's sprawling mural lining the walkway by the front gate. Otherpiecesare tuckedin among the gnnderosaand wildflowers, such as Mefro students Ian Rumlev and ToddRobinson'stufn mural.

"I lust by to rememberhuman beingsare inimals, and peopleforget sometimes." Metro shrdentsLizBunker,Sophie Fernandezand JavierFloresalsohave their work displayedin the exhibit.

The Gardensseema natural sit€ for such a progressiveexhibit with its own unique blend of natural beauty and cement. Metro students from painting professor Carlos Fresquez's mural class were also a natural flt for the exhiLit. "Denver has such a great urban art community th?t when we sent out the call we got a lot of response from the local artists, and some of those artists happen to be Metro Stat€students,"Jonessaid."We love their work, but it wasn't a concerted effort to go aft€r them, We were just looking for great art." For "Urban Nature," the Gardens demonsfated ttds sustainability by providing artists with panels made of recycledmaterial, which are low in toxicity. Iike any provocativeexhibit, "Urban Nature': has not beenwithout its shareof controvers3z "We have had somevisitors who don't understand, or haven't been willing to, embracethe fact that urban-art.ir-art " Iones said. "We have had some people come in and say, 'Why do you havc this grhffiti in the middle of all this beauty?'" Jonesis quick tb explainthat even though most of the art is done with spray paint, it is not gaffiti becaus€ the term graftti refers to vandalism where this art, "Urban Nature", was commissioned. Although there arealwayspeople nto. either lone or hate an exhibit, Jonessaidmost visitors to the garden he has tallredwith appreciatethe art, But as an artist Rucley also wants to engagethe viewerregardless of r,uhatthcir opinion may be. 1It is gefting people interested and mabng them think," Runley said. "Regardlessof what th€It thinL, . that is a positiveellect." r ike aflolerpustfng up tbrough a crack in the sidewalk,cityscapeshave tleir momenb of natural beauty. And j ust asartists work to create an oasis in their own home; Jones said he hopes visitors to the Urban Nature exhibit will be inspired to do the same. "We are trying to show people they can incorpomte nature into whatever envtonment theryare in," Jonesmid. The 'Urban Naturt" enhibit runs through Nov 30 at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Hillary's hip shot missesObama Well folks, it has been too many weekssinceI last sat down to write a ranting synopsiso[ the ills of society - that term rant b€ing something which most pmple have been more than willing to label whatever it is that I actuallydo here,and something that I am not necessarilyin agreement with, But it has never beenmy businessto tell peoplewhat to think, and never would I venture to trv, for that matter. Butpoliticianson the otherhand, well, they make a living out of manipulatir,rg people'sthinking, which is most certainly and distinctly immoral. And now it seemsthat they haveeventaken to stealingideasthat I had alreadyput into print months ago. Plagiarism: another distinctly irnmoral act. Hillary Clinton told reportersthat one of the reasonssheshouldbewelcometo stayin this treacherousDemocratic horse-racefor the presidential nomiqation is that Barack Obama standssomechanceof being gunned down, making a comparisonbetween now and 1968 whenBobbyKennedy was shot dead by a man who many claim was brainwashedby nefarious forcesdeeplyinvolvedin American politics. It is unclear exactly what might have been running through Clinton'smind when shebrought the subiectinto light, but you can rest assured that the Clintons will have no problem eliminating Barack Obama in whatever manner necessarv
JIMMIE BRf,tEY jbraley@mscd.edu shouldthe opportunity presentitself. Somepeopleclaim that Clinton madea Freudianslip,and otherswho either lcrow or know of the Clintons intimat€ly are treating this as a final threat of political Armageddon and have rushed to fill their basements with canned food and bottled water in preparation{or an oncoming shitrain of Clintonian authority overthis land of feeblecoruiumers.But those peoplearecowards.A true American would simply bash a saxophoneover Hillary Clinton'sfacefor making such damning threats. I cannot claim to have been the fust to fall upon the notion that Barack Obama is probably in somebody'scrosshairs, but I wascertainly the first I know of to speakabout it without reseration and in print no less.After all, thereis a clear possibility that the unthinlcablemay happen. Indeed,I madenote of the risk of
in an article Obama'sassassination printed months agoin this very newspaper.I wrote that I am still on the sidelineabout whether or not Barack Obamais the man who we can finally say is the anfi-Christ, but if he is not the faceof Beelzebub. then thereis a goodchance,basedon nothing more than history and the ominously vile nature of American politics, that some JesusJoving,Aryan-devoted lunaticfrom Georgiaor possiblyeven PuertoRico r,r'illtry to shoothim. It has long been the businessof white peopleto put a stopto any kind of social. political or economic advancementof non-whites,and our time, though many will argue to the contrary,is no different,It is true that blatant discrimination is generally frownedupon by many,but discrimination has neverneededto beblatant in order to exist, and it would be folly for all of us to pretend that Barack Obama can soften the hearts and minds of people who think anyone with evena slightly different shadeof skin is born with a clear ambition to fiIch from and destroy white society. Which happensto beexactlythe way that many peoplethink, and a casual stroll thmugh certain communities in this counhy will testify to that. To make a comparison betrveen Bobby Kennedy and Barack Obama .in terms of a possibleassassination or any other unfortutate occurrence wasnot a smart political moveby Hillary Clinton, especiallywhen her rep-
utation and her political future ride on exactlyhow well shehandleswhat is more than likely to .be her rather amusingdefeatin this primary. But to show up on this campus and then. months later, bring into her professionalspotlight this delirious notion, which I was responsible for long ago, ivas an even lessintelligent maneuver,especiallysincethe Clinton peoplehave no idea of the secretpolitical power that I myself command.TheClintonshaveno concept of what awaits them when they degrade themselvesto this level of self-mockeryand petty threats. But never mind all of that. The treacherousClinton family will lose the race against their own bad karma soon.enough. What is important now is that we recognize the fact that BarackObamaand his lollowers have overcomethe Clinton political monstec and now that monster is making vague threats and clinging to laughable arguments in just the samemanner asarnyother bmke and beatenloser. Yesindeed,folla. The air is more alive now that we hale seena political dynastyeat shit. But the ideathat BarackObamais a markedman is at leastmorbid and very disturbing, and to pret€nd as though ther€ are not peoplein this country willing to take drastic measuresto halt the progress of a black man would be foolish. But don't takeit up with me. Hillary Clinton is your man.

'Easy' Billspins theblues onKUU0 89.3's Saturday nightDJ takes listeners back,t0 years toR&B',s heyday ByIAN GASSMAN igassman@mscd.edu On a Saturday evening, back in '60s, you the could slick back your hair, hop in your'62 Chevy Super Sport and drive around for miles on only file dollars of gas. All the while, music was your only companion. From a pastoral dirt road to the big, glistening city you could hear music anywhere. After driving to the local diner, you could trust the jukebox to play three of your favorite songs for only a quarter. Heading down to the lake, your fiiends could grab their transistor radios and tune in to hear an artist playing their heart out. iust for them. This Saturday night from 7 to 9 on radio station KUVO, "Easy" Bill Towber will be playing his heart out. spinning tracks bom stack of vintage wax. All of the music hails from the 1950s to the 1960s. "Easy" Bill knows these decades,for they comprise the golden age of rhythm and blues. Towber moved to Colorado from New York in 1997. At the age of 18. he was passionate about "StraightAhead Blues," as he called them. Yet. while in Colorado, he kicked around Boulder for a little while where he garnered respect, love and appreciation for R&8, as well as his vast collection of the music. "I probably started seriously collecting and seeking stu{I out after I moved here and began working in a CD store in Boulder." Towber said. But finding this music was no easy feat. "There wasn't much Internet then. so I read a lot of liner notes in books and looked to people for new
artists."he said. Tor.r'berfinally made his way to Denverin 20O0,and a ner,l'outletfor expressingthis music fell right into his lap. Rolando Garcia was leaving his positionat KUVO,Denver'spublicjaz station. and he neededsomeoneto
take his place and commandeer his show Garcia met Towber and the two formed a friendship through their lole of R&B. Even though Towber had never worked in radio before. Garcia assignedhim to take over the R&B Jukeboxprogram in 2003. Gar-
said in referenceto the pledgesystem that KWO operatesbl/. Three times a year,KIIVO askslistenersto pledge their support,and many listenersoutsideof Denverdo just that via the Internet.It pleases Towberto think there are peopleoutsideof Dener listening to his programbecause"thereis nothing elselike (the R&Bfukebox)." Everyset list is unique in iti o$'n way. Towber fills the airwaveswith artists he loves.From Little Richard, FatsDomino and The " 5" Royales,to more underyroundactsof the time, like johnny Guitar Watson, Ruth Brown and Wynonie Harris, Towber knows what to spin and what the listenerswant to hear by request. "I am in the processnow of digitizing my music ... so that requests can be filled easily."Towber said. In the past, listeners waited a week to hear their requestsbecausehe only brought in specific albums. Towber wants to begin attracting a younger audience,and perhapsgoing digital will help. "I personallyam trying to attract a youngercrolrd, if they are opentowards(the music)."Towbersaid.He hopesthat Denver'syouth will start to respectthe music of R&B and its primal sound.He also leelsmusic is aboutconnection,and theremay be nothing more connectingthat the soundof R&B.

As if building and feeding off of each other, the next song "Ghosts" leavesno room for exhauslion and servesas a bold stepping stone into the tango betn'een rock and electronica. With repeating lyrics "There's a ghost in me/ Who 'l'm sorry'/ Doesn't wants to say mean I'm sorry," it is an incredible intriguing song, which results in a carnival of technical sound. The most interesting aspect of tad1tron is its ability to break away from its expectations and try something completely different.

Without a familiar face in the shortstop position, or any position for that matter, it's difncult for the Rockies when they are unable to play with the same team every game, which has been a problem for the lastcouple of years. Between the iniuries and the constant position changes. becoming comfortable enough and developing enough team chemistry !ostring wins together can be difficult.

The team's longest winning str€a-kthis seasonis four games,two of which were againstthe lowly San Diego Padres,while the other two were against the Houston Astros rn April. Hitting must emergefrom players otherthan third basemanGarrettAtkins. With the injuries to Tulo, Hawpe and Holliday, offensiveproduction needs to cbrne from catcher Yorvit Torrealba,whosesalary increasedin the off-season,and ToddHelton, r,ttro can't play lust to play in the twilight of his career. The Rockies' recent losseshave placedthem fourth in the division, 1 I gamesunder .500. At this point last season,tley were 22-27 (.449) and beginning to climb out of the basement. It's not too late for our hometown heroes,but in order to competewith the rest of the league,they have to raise that team batting averageand to seequick recoverieshom the marn componentsof that World Series squad. Next up for the Rockiesis a long road hip that could determine the oukome of the season. But don't give up on those sumrner-timesluggersjust yet, becauseif we'velearned anything from last season,it's that anything, and I mean anything, can happenin a baseballseason.

N{etro dropped from No. 1 to No. 4 I\{ay 14 in the Rockl' Mountain Athletic Conference All-Sports Competition Cup ior the 20O7-2008 school year. The cup, which evaluates a school's athletics programs' success during the season.put Kearney back on top for their 12'r title in I 3 y-ears. Adams State and Fort Le&'is shared secondand Metro had to settle with fourth after suffering many disapointments throughout the sports ]€ar, Taking fourth a year alter a n'omen's soccerNCAA title and a score of RMAC Tournament Championships is a distressingsign for lMetro'ssports teams. The problem with the past season of Metro sports is that many of the programs had good, if not better, seasonsthan 2006-20O7. But only men's tennis won the RIUAC Tou-rnamcnt, and no team breached the second round of the NCAAS. When sports tearns fail in the postseason,the usual culprit is a lack of senior leadership.But this year,the youngest team &?s the Conlerence Champion ririn's tennis team. Men's soccer and n'omen's basketball had large complements of starring senior players, but neither could make much of a splash in the postseason. So wh1: the Roadrunners athletics teams ran out of steam in thc playoffscarries a different ansn'er lbr dilferent teams. Many ol Metro's teams entered the I'ear with recent coaching changes, but this \,\'asnt the case for either soccerprogram. N{en's head coach Ken Parsons was entering his fifth season and. lvomen's head coach Danny Sanchez was starting his sixth. Both teams also brought veteran talent to the field. Men's soccer displayed five seniors in starting positions aed looked to have the skills and leadership to blast th-rough the RMAC. They did iust that in the regular season. posting a 16-l-3 record on the way to hosting the conference tournament. In the tournament, the team unraveled. The Roadrunners' defense, which had put together a streak of four straight shutouts in Octobec collapsed. School of Mines upset Metro 3-2 at Auraria Field. and then the

Instead, the scoring duo of Becca }Iays and Katic Kilbel' faltercd in the RIUAC 'lburnament as Fort [,en'is grabbed the 2-0 upset. Unlike the men. the women rcbounded from thcir early RN,IAC Tournament exil and shutout \Vest TexasA&tr4 1-0 in the NCAATournament first round. But the succcssdidn't last, and \4elro lost to Incarnale lVord in a shootout for a secondround exit from the NCAA Tournament, just one season after they won it all. The soccer programs began the postseason choking. but basketball soon follorvedsuit. The men and r,r,'omenboth had good regular seasons on Auraria courts. The women took their defensi\€ pron€ss to the top of the R\IAC regular season standings, and the men rebounded from a shaky start to take third place in the RMAC East Division. Metro's basketball teams had more obvious reasons lor their collapsesin the postseason:new coaches. Men's head coach Brannon Hays struggled through his second season as head coach, and new addittion Lawrence Billings took too long to establish himself at center, so when

after a clutch shooter failed to sink shots for the Roadrunners. If Metro basketball can use new coaching as an excuse, baseball ap peared poised to use new coaching as the reason the Roadrunners had stormed to their best regular season in history. But Metro finished its regular season and postseason with an eightgame losing streak.
