2 Opinions, Editorials and Letters from the f'v1ontana State Univerc;ity Community

Face it, MSU: EPICenter project is nothing but a pipe dreant By Joe Spangler ExJJonem Writer

Three years ago, the students of Montana State University took a vote to add a fee of $25 to their tuition bills. The vote was in favor of a new multidisciplinary instructional building containing state-of-the­art laboratories for students, otherwise known as the EPICenter I Green Building Project. The estimated cost of the buildingwas $60 million.

This fall, the project had finally diminished to mere improvements on Lewis Hall and Gaines Hall, estimated to cost $12 million. So far, $460,ooo has been generated by the students of MSU and an estimated $718,ooo will be raised by May of 2000.

It seems that the students ofMSU are being lied to, not only by EPICenter administrators, but by the Green Building committee, a mix of students and faculty members at MSU.

When students voted for the fee increase three years ago, the description of the project was eye­catching. It was to bea building that would be self-sufficient in all areas; a building that could be envirornnentally conscious down to the last details, maybe even revolutionizing the way the rest of the country looked at classroom building construction. It was said to be the first building ofits kind in the world.

This is not the project that lies ahead for MSU.

Amazingly enough, EPICenter committee chariman Paul Grieco recently admitted that he "doubts whether the EPICenter will ever see completion." So why has the project been allowed to continue? Three years have been spent planning a pipe

dozens of other buildings on campus that could use repair? What happened to the original project that students voted for?

It seems to me that the Green Building administrators, along with ASMSU, should re­administer the vote to students, along with a lengthy apology for changing the plans without first putting it to a vote. The ballot

could be this: 1) Build the

Three years have been spent planning a pipe dream and

original concept building that students voted for. 2) Scrap the project and

dream and thousands of student dollars will be wasted by the end.

The original vote by ASMSU to increase fees came with a sunset clause, a clause that identifies when the fee increase will be dropped from tuition bills. The fee increase was projected to end last year, but ASMSU decided to keep the fees going, as the EPICenter committee was flailing to find donations for the project.

What about the $2 million (from a i996 bond issue), set aside for classroom improvements, that has been appropriated for use in the "new" Green Building Project? Why was the decision made to give that money to the Green Building? What importance does this project hold over

send the money elsewhere for on-campus improvements (maybe even a parking garage!). 3) END the fee increase immediately and send refund checks to the thousands of students who over the course of six semesters paid money into something they didn't even know about.

Are there some possible ways that ASMSU and MSU could avoid this misuse of student money in the future? Yes. For instance, the University could make sure that every student knows about the voting before actually taking the vote. In the Green Building vote, 1,306 students turned out. While that is a fair percentage of voters turning out compared to the past, it is meager in comparison to the number of students that pay

The chickens come home to roost By Bob Ray Sanders lnighHlidder Newspapers

FORT WORTH, Texas -Shortly after the assas.sination of President John F. Kennedy, a man who was then one of America's most despised leaders had microphones shoved in his face as he was asked to give his reaction to the killing.

Malcolm X would utter words that not only repulsed most of the country at the time, but would cause his own Nation of Islam leader to ban him to silence for months.

Unlike most Americans, Malcolm seemed to show no sign of remorse, and unlike many politicians of the day, he did not utter the innocuous overused phrase, "I'm shocked and saddened."

The defiant black Muslim activist distinctly proclaimed in 1963:

"The chickens have come home to roost. n

He was acutely accurate and, in hindsight, profoundly poignant.

In thewakeofWednesday's tragic shootings in a Fort Worth

church, those words now reverberate in the city where Kennedy spent his last nigh1 before heading to Dallas on tha1 fateful November morning.

No one really understooc Malcolm X then, because no onE really tried.

His comments weren'· meant to be flip during one o America 's most painfu moments, nor were the~

intended to be disrespectful to th1 slain president.

He was simply saying tha in a country where violence is S<

prevalent - sometimes revered and in a nation that was sc tolerant of hatred toward thos1 who were different, we should no be surprised when ,folence rise up close to home and claims om of our own who is great!: admired, truly cherished o deeply loved.

Suit: Immigration judge orders deportation of university professor told Fang a guil ty plea or conviction for a single misdemeanor would not affect his permanent resident status, deportation procedures could not be initiated based on a conviction or guilty plea and that he should plead guilty to

the charge. Fang's complaint charges he plead guilty on Feb. 8, 1998 per Bock's advice.

On April 17, 1998, Fang was issued a Notice to Appear by the INS, beginning the deportation process resulting from his guilty plea. Fang then hired an attorney

to have the guilty plea set aside. On June 26, 1998, Gallatin County District Court Judge Thomas Olson granted the request. However, since a guilty plea had already been entered, an immigration judge ordered Fang to be deported. An appeal to the

deportation is pending. According to Blakley,

Fang is suing for reimbursement of legal fees for setting aside the guilty plea, fees generated during the immigration trial and for all appeals. He is also seeking

reimbursement for special and general damages in an amount to be decided by jury trial in Bozeman District Court, according to the complaint.

As of presstime, Bock had not issued a response to Fang's complaint.

EPICenter project would die, but it will be used as an example of what the [proposed] building will do," said ASMSU President Jared Harris.

In order to make the EPICenter a reality, EPICenter Project Director Kath Williams will have to raise the $60 million. Williams has been working with U.S. Senators Max Baucus and Conrad Burns to gain $2 million in funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist in the waste water treatment facility for the EPICenter.

According to Grieco that funding was turned down in

senate committee last week. Also, other states match donor dollars for research building projects but pleas for funding in the Montana legislature have already been turned down. Grieco has serious doubts whether the EPICenter will ever see completion.

"If this building doesn't happen, [then] I've failed my job," Williams said.

In addition, student fees earmarked for the EPICenter were set to expire last December. The fees were then reverted by ASMSU and the EPICenter planning committee from the EPICenter to a pilot project, and extended for a further year to complete

funding on the $12 million pilot project. The pilot project will include renovations to Gaines and Lewis Halls and an addition to labs in Gaines Hall.

The purpose of the pilot project is to generate corporate sponsorship/ partnerships as well as test the technology utilized in the EPICenter.

In addition, the pilot project will provide much needed lab space and rennovations.

"Current labs met safety standards at the time of their construction but things were quite different then," said Grieco.

According to Williams,

all corporation partnerships have been offered the opportunity to test their new products in the living systems of the EPICenter.

The construction will integrate systems like electricity, water, air and light with nonexistent environmental pollutants. Corporation products such as fume hoods for chemistry labs will be tested in this building. The testing will be in cooperation with research that MSU researchers are already doing.

Grieco isn't convinced of the benefits of the "green" building concept. His main concern is that the state-of-

the-art laboratories are safe for students. Most technologies like the fume hoods are prototypes and have yet to be proven in a working environment.

Research on human health and productivity conducted by the College of Health and Human Development are currently underway and should determine the validity of the perceived benefits of a "green" building.

According to Williams the EPICenter planning committee has been working with different sectors of MSU in hopes of eventually benefiting all sectors of MSU.

Jellison was among 122 prisoners who staged a protest of various prison policies that continued for about 71/2 hours. The inmates refused to return to their cells and demanded the administration make changes in several new policies, including a ban on smoking.

Krunk cranks What ya got there tnister? Sara Keebler ExPonent Writer

Walking into Leigh Lounge Tuesday evening, it didn't seem possible that a concert was to begin at 6 p.m . The crowd that was gathering consisted of five people who looked like fr iends of the band. The m embers of Krunk were scattered about-on couches. fiddling \\ith turntables and making jokes with each other.

their sound best when they say "music's music." They don't like to discriminate when it comes to their music, but basically it encompasses a lot of different styles, including funk , rock and techno sounds Sometimes their songs are fast and loud with heav) beats from the drummer and bass guitarist and the next minute it's slow and soothing with concrete guitar lead guitar accompanied by a schizophrenic turntable.

Josh urged the few who showed up to dance, but the laid back atmosphere of the lounge, with its couches and dim lights, did not beckon anyone.

But as soon as show time rolled around, they were all in their places, and it looked like there would be a concert after all-minus a lead singer who quit that day because of personal priorities. Despite this, they seemed like a tightJy knit group.

This sense of uncertain expectancy soon settled when, appearing from stage right, Kainau Daaood and his Anny of Healers casually walked out and gathered their instruments.

Daaood, content and smiling, stepped near the mic but chose not to speak. Rather than telling the audience what was to be expected, Daaood and his band thought it best to let their music guide the way. Daaood, with a humble smile and a slight tinge of nativity, reacted to the

Th!S Saturday at the Zebra Cock-tail Lounge a 6 co ·r \vill get you in to see one ofSeattlt: s premier funk-jazz bands. Having been compared to the sounds ofMedeski, Martin, and Wood, this group is destined to make you move.

Like Medeski, Martin and Wood, Roclcin' Teenage Combo consists of piano, bass and drums. The pianist, Dara Quinn, has been performing on the piano for more tham6 years . Although her background is in jazz and classical

piano, her musical entree includes the spices of reggae and samba, as well as a side dish of salsa for color.

Paul Kemmish, the band's upright and electric bass player, makes many wonder where a white boy learned to groove like that His skills on the bass are guaranteed to make you swing.

Fmally, for those of us who think we can keep a beat, Olli Klomp, the trio's drummer, will show how it's done with style. Klomp has been compared to "lick maniac" Billy Cabham and groove master Lenny White.

When Saturday night rolls around, it will be time to indulge in the jazz you owe to your soul. Your friends and your feet will thank you.

Holy War thriller "Stigmata" offers beauty and torment to viewers through intriguing cinematography

Katie Parsons Exponent Writer

Tales of spiritual war are common, but "Stigmata" has the modem edge that sets it apart from the rest. Not the average thriller, "Stigmata" is made up of flashy bits of religious icons interjected between frequent spurts of blood and wails of pain.

Pittsburgh party girl Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) has her worldly life turned upside­down when she receives a rosary in the mail from her mother. Thought to be just a tourist trinket picked up from a family excursion to Brazil, the rosary was, in fact, stolen from the revered and recently deceased

ASMSU Exponent September 17, 1999 9 Folk cult hero Greg Brown brings itnagery to Etnerson

Bryan Duszynski EQtnem Writer

A folk music casserole jtraigbt from the Midwest oven \f two time Grammy nominee 'reg Brown will be served up .-esh this Friday at the Emerson ~tural Center.

The style Brown exudes tas been called everything from 1rnery, nasty and gritty, to 1rilliant, dazzling and exquisite nd has enchanted audiences round the world. Brown's fluences range from Big Bill

Sroonzy to William Blake while 1is own poetic affluence has

inspired such greats as Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana, and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Brown returns to the Gallatin Valley with a new slant on an old friend - his 1983 release, "One Night." Fans can look forward to the usual rich mixture of philosophic humor, unique observations of everyday life and a musical arrangement that's as well planned as the lyrics themselves. Rolling Stone lauds the album, declaring Brown, "A wickedly sharp observer of the human condition."

The strict attention to detail involved in every one of Brown's performances may stem

from the fact that he's never been in it for the money. His drive to create exists instead in his lifelong love affair with music. Brown hails from the Hacklebarney section of southeastern Iowa, where music is integral to the lifestyle. He began playing the pump organ at the age of six, then moved on to guitar at age twelve.

In more recent years he has employed the sounds of trash cans, chairs and assorted tribal drums in his percussional exploits.

According to Brown one of the driving influences behind his music is every day

life, "Enlightenment doesn't

come all at once, it comes in grubby little pieces every day," Brown said. This explains his respect for the spoken word and thevibrantimageryitcan imprint upon the listener.

In his 1989 release, "Songs of Innocence and Experience, One Big Town" that respect and Brown's own romantic streak came together when he converted the poetry of William Blake into a melodic elixier of resonant vocals and impeccable instrumentation.

With 15 albums released to date on bis own

record label , it looks like Brown's philosophies on life, love, politics and the American way have paid off, despite his conspicuous lack of concern for material goods.

Bozemanites should expect a full house at the Emerson Cultural Center as Brown performs "One Night" for one night only.

Doors will open at T30 p.m .. Prices are $15 in advance and $17 at the door, advance tickets are available at Cactus Records (credit card purchase 587-0245), CD Warehouse, Grateful Shed, Books & Music Etc. and Music To Go.

didn't go over well, but more recent surveys indicate strong audience interest. Perhaps this is because "Stigmata" has little in common with the other spirit world movies recently released. It was falsely advertised as a horror film, having few truly scary scenes. To avoid disappointment, it's best to know the plot line before you see the movie.

"Stigmata" is thought provoking- it can almost make a believer out of anyone. ---

foll to the sound and ease of Morgan's piano. This 1s where Daaood stepped in.

Daaood welcomed Morgan's sound with a speech that was eloquent, steady and disciplined. Daaood's message, in songs like "Liberator of the Spirit" (For John Coltrane), Art Blakely's "Drumsticks" and "Mothership• spoke of experiences he h ad dealt with being placed in a society full of contraries and paradoxes. Some of the issu es imparted by Daaood included his feelings on personal matters such as loss, love and hope. On a universal level, Daaood's word was concerned with the current issues facing humanity today. His words expressed opinions on issues ranging from the alienating elements of technology to the struggles facing inner city children and liberation of the soul.

On other jams, vocalist Carmen Bradford would be backed by the Healers, singing with a voice that deepened numerous and varied genres of

music. At times Bradford would sing in what seemed African soul. However, his style would sometimes flow over into sounds that hinted of bebop, Latin or reggae.

After an encore that was met with standing applause, Daaood and The Army of Healers, bassist Dr.Art Davis, flutist and conga drummer James Newton, Bradford, saxist Randal Willis, drummer Herb Graham Jr., and Morgan took time to mingle wit h t h e a udience and sign autographs.

Most of the audience seemed quiet pleased with the performance. "It was an incredible mix of poetry and music as one," MSU senior Sarah Coffler said.

Brad Prescott, after hearing Daaood and the Army of Healers, said "feel inspiration in anything." Daaood, when asked what type of jazz bis band pertorms, called it music "from the heart-the main thing is sound that speaks from the heart."

College football's double-edged sword

By Andrew Bagnato lnlghl-Rlllder l1WS111111rs

CHICAGO - For years, college football coaches have debated the best way to prepare a team for conference play. Is it better to load up on cream puffs or take on tougher teams?

An answer could come when Michigan meets Wisconsin Sept. 25 in the Big Ten opener in Madison.

The Wolverines have defeated Notre Dame and Rice. Wisconsin staved off boredom in victories over Division I-AA Murray State and Ball State.

The Wolverines this weekend will visit unbeaten but unranked Syracuse. Wisconsin visits Cincinnati, which just lost to Troy State.

"It's a double-edged sword," Michiir n o. l 11 I Carr said think a very, 'cry difficult non-conference schedule p pares your team for some of atcr challenges if you don't ' t off to such a bad start thai demoralizes your team."

Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez s. ., the undemanding schedule s allowed him to give walk s game expenence

Swanso , Speclal 10th Exp n nt

The 1999 version of the Intramurals and Recreation Mountain Bike Races were held

He dismissed the possibility that the Badgers needed a sterner test to prepare for the Big Ten season.

"We were criticized for our schedule last year and it certainly didn't seem to hurt us," said Alvarez, whose 11-1

and sixth-ranked team shared the Big Ten title.

LaVar Err-ington: Coach Joe Paterno will view videotapes of a tussle between star linebacker La Var Arrington and Pitt punter Greg DeBolt during Penn State's 20-17 win Saturday. Arrington drew two personal fouls.

"(Arrington) is such an emotional kid and such an intense player, every once in a while you get carried away," Paterno said. "It appears that he probably got carried away some, and he can't do that."

T' pound rrinicton outweighs I olt b ~o pounds. But Bolt ho S< >d a pin in his fi match :. a k-on wtth the P wrc-; 1 'Tl,

held his own i he 1 nter. "I u ed sing!L w' on

him," DeBolt id. "I pu t my shoulder pad 1 his shin, and I don t thmk h iked that."

Jackson Burke: There's an interest g clash of

quarterbacking styles when Michigan State meets No. 24 Notre Dame Saturday in South Bend. The Fighting Irish have Jarious Jackson, an exciting playmaker who is a run-pass threat. The Spartans have Bill Burke, who can't outrun a down marker but has completed 25 of 49 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns. More important, Burke has led a notoriously slow-starting team to two wins.

"Bill has developed into an outstanding game administrator for us," Spartan coach Nick Saban said. "His mobility is just average at best, so I think it's important that we have (offensive) balance and keep the defense off balance so they can't zero in just on him."

Young Hawkeyes: Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz wasn't aware that 10 Hawkeyes made their first college starts in the first two games. "I guess our sports information people have a little bit more time to count those things," Ferentz said. "We're playing right now with the guys that we think give us the best chance to win. You just have to realize that some areas are going to come a little later than others."
