TRASH CAN?BY CAROLYN MICHAUD

Assistant News Editor

For many college students, timeis valuable and convenience is amust. With hectic schedules recy-cling is not the first thing on mostpeople's minds. For Boise State stu-dent, Seth Merritt, recycling is Ii toppriority. Merritt is working hard tomake our campus beautiful, dedi-cating time "to environmental issueson campus for the past three years.This year Merritt hopes to expandand improve the recycling programat BSU by creating a more institu-tionalized and campus-wide re-cycling program. He has takenon the title of ASBSU Directorof Conservation, a positionthat wa~ previously named"Recycling Coordinator".

"I would like to layoutthe foundation for moreinstitutionalized envi-ronmental conservationon campus so that.It cancontinue and grow,"said Merritt. The ulti-mate goal is to have acampus-wide recyclingprogram that is self-sus-taining.

Starting a new pro-gram might be harderthan it sounds. In the pasttwenty .years· there havebeen over twenty attemptsto set up recycling programsin the resident halls on cam-pus. Allof these have been un-successful.

Merritt also worked hard tomake sure that recycling is avail-able in on-campus housing. Hestarted his conservation efforts atBSU three years ago by helping tokeep up a small recycling program inDriscoll Hall which was set in placeby the Honors College. A year later,as the Honors Student Association'sEnvironmentalProjectsCoordinator,Merritt expanded the program andmade it stronger.

Teaming up with his friend,Kendall Burgemeister, the duo re-ceived the Boise Cascade SummerResearch Fellowship grant for$3,500. Merritt proposed to do recy-cling research oriented for on-cam-

I~

pus housing. He took his proposal toHousing Director Craig Thompsonand was hired to work on programsfor campus housing.

Merritt is hopeful about whathe will be able to accomplish nextyear with the. strong support ofThompson. Working directly withThompson and housinghas made it easierfor Merritt toaccom-plish

for workers.Over the coming year, Merritt

hopes to keep up the work that hasbeen done in the resident halls andmake sure that it stays solid. He evenhas plans to further the program byputting a recycle bin in every roomright next to the garbage can, to

. make recycling easier andmore accessible. "I

dents engaged. Anoth~?barrler for a. self sustaining recycling program oncampus is money. It will cost mon-ey to' set up a program and to keepit running. For this reason, it can bedifficult to get support from the ad-ministration due to limited fundingavailable for projects such as this.

There are a few ways to counteractthe funding problem. Student ap-propriations could be used to start arecycling program and to help it gainmomentum. This type of programcould eventually be self-funding.Although there is not much moneyto be made from recycling directly,conservation in general can Save

money. For instance, BSU hasto pay BFI for every ton of gar-

bage they haul off campus.The more 'materials that arerecycled instead of thrownaway, the less trash needsto be hauled off campus.Hence, money will besaved.

Next year, WesternStates Recycling is ex-panding what they arcdoing around campus.Instead of having recy-clable products hauledoff to be dumped, therewill be designated re-cycling bins on campusthat smaller recyclingcontainers can be emptied

into and later collected byWestern States Recycling.

This system will be similarto emptying garbage cans into

dumpsites and will make recy-cling easier and more convenient

around campus.Although Merritt is working hard

to create a more institutionalized re-cycling program on campus, he can-not do it all alone. Volunteers aregreatly appreciated. Also, for the fallsemester, Boise State will be lookinginto hiring three part time employ-ees who will be in charge of recy-cling coordination and collecting re-cycling materials and hauling themto dump sites.

Idaho's new .smoking ban went into ef-fect this month. The ban requires mostpublic buildings to be smoke-free, chang-ing .the atmosphere of many restaurants.The smoking ban hasn't made much differ-ence in the number of customers.

Nick Ballou, the manager of Shari'sin Nampa commented, "If any-thing, it brings more people in,"Not many restaurants in the Boisearea allowed smoking before the ban.Smoking was already' .banned from TheOlive Garden, The Mongolian BBQ,Pizza ,Hut, and many other restaurants.Kevin Garlik, BSU student and non-smok-er said, "I think [the smoking banI is ridicu-lous, because there's always been a smok-ing and, non-smoking section in restau-rants and that has never bothered me."Chili's Grill & Bar is another restaurantthat previously allowed smoking. GeneraiManager Mike Greer said, "We've onlyhad positive feedback from our clientele."To some people, it is very unappealingto allow smoking in restaurants. "I thinkthat having 'a smoking section in a res-taurant is equivalent to having a pee-ing section in a public pool," said Greer.Currently at Boise State University, smok-ers must stand 30 feet away from designat-ed building entrances. Idaho law requiressmokers to be 20 feet away from entrances topublic buildings. BSU is currently question-ing if it should keep its current standards orrelax them to comply with state law.

BSU recently collected data indicat-ing students are in support of a smoke-free campus with designated' smoking ar-eas, or "butt hutts," Some students findthis to be a good idea, while others feelit would be a violation of their rights.BSU student Jake Sporin, an occasion-al smoker, said, "I think banning smok-ing from the BSU campus is a violationof my rights, because I should be able tosmoke and second hand smoke is a myth."BSU student, Jenna' Harrigan, said,"I think it would be a good idea, be-cause there are a lot of smokers, andnon-smokers get bothered by that."There are many tobacco cessation pro-grams at BSU that the Health Departmentencourages. "It's important to offer ser-vice to students who are contemplatingquitting. We try to offer as many servic-es and information at BSU as we can," saidChristina Berg, director of health promotion.In addition to ail the BSU programs, thereare many online services as well, Every year,the Idaho health department puts on a GreatAmerican Smoke-out.

Financial aid scamtargets vulnerable.college students

BY KAVITA KUMARThe St. Louis Post-Dispatch

(KRTl

Some area universities arealerting students about a fi-nancial aid scam that admin-istrators say could lead toempty bank accounts or iden-tity theft.

It works like this: Someonepretending to be a U.S.Department of Education. offi-cial cails college students andtells them they are eligible foran $8,000 grant. The catch isthat the caller says he needs abank account number to ex-tract a $250 processing fee.

The Education Departmentdoes not charge fees for pro-cessing grants.

These calls, which havereached the St. Louis area in acouple of reported cases, haveraised enough concern thatthe Education Departmenthas put out a warning,' theUniversity of Missouri has putan alert on its Weh site andSouthern Illinois' UniversityEdwardsville has sent an e-mail to students and. postedfliers sostudents don't fall forthe hoax.

"The tinancial' aid processcan be intimidating, and if'someone calls you up and of-fers you moriey, that can betempting," said Sharon Berry,SlUE's financial aid director.But, she emphasized; "You\

\ I~.

don't pay for financial aid."Berry, ,who knows of oth-

er scholarship frauds thatcan deceive parents arid stu-dents, said she was especiallyconcerned about this one. Ifsomeone falls for it, the scam-mers can completely clean outthat person's bank account.

Incoming SlUE freshmanPrince Wells IV received a calla few days ago from a manwho said he was with the gov-'ernment. The man told himhe was guaranteed $8,000 ingrants, with the possibility of$35,000 total.

"I was thinking, 'How didthey choose met" said Wells,18 of Hazelwood. "Or etufflike, maybe it was a grant I ap-plied for and forgot about. "

He soon became suspiciouswhen the man insisted onhaving his checking accountnumber. Wells didn't give it tohim. He has tried to call backthe 800 number the man gavehim, only to be greeted by abusy signal.

Marianna O'Brien, spokes-woman for. the Office ofFederal Student Aid· of theEducation Department, saidabout 25 to 30 cases· fromaround the country had beenreported to the department'sinspector general.

If anyone had a right to beaggrieved over the last presi-dential election, it was' formerVice President Al Gore. He wonthe popular vote nationwide,but a 5-4 Supreme Court deci-sion stopped the counting ofFlorida's disputed ballots andeffectively handed Bush theWhite House.

It is the quartz loads that es-tablished the need for perma-nent communities. Boonevillewas established where the ini-tial placer deposits had beenfound.

Storm water pollutionI

Storm!water pollutionBSU keeps river clean

BY GREGORYRUTfYNews Reporter

We float it, fish it, and swim it.We watch its currents rise andfall with the seasons. We call itour river, the Boise River, andsoon we will be able to call it ahealthier river thanks to a new

,storm water treatment systembeing installed at BSU. •

< In mid June, BSU moved intothe fourth stage of a multi-stageproject to minimize pollutantdischarge to the Boise River pylaying the groundwork for In-stallation of a vortex-type treat-ment system by the northeastcomer of Albertson's library.

Paid with funds appropriatedby the state legislature, the pro]-ect is part of BSU's responsibil-ity under the National PollutantDischarge Elimination System(NPDES) General Permit. TheNPDES permit program regu-lates point sources that dis-charge pollutants into U.S. con-trolled waters.

BSU's proximity to the BoiseRiver makes it a point sourceunder the Clean Water Act of1972 which made it unlawful todischarge pollutants into anynavigable waters without a per-mit.

Previous stages of the projecthave laid the groundwork forthe installation of a vortex treat-ment system by separating theunderground pipe network intotwo: one for irrigation water and

, one for storm water. ,The fourth phase is expect-

ed to lower the cost of treatingwater discharged into the Boiseriver by separating storm waterfrom irrigation water. Becauseirrigation water is largely drawnfrom the river, separating it from

storm water' means less waterhas to be treated before beingdischarged. ,

Currently neither irrigationwater nor storm water is treat-ed before it is discharged intothe river by anyone of BSU'seight "outfalls." This means that.any sediments and litter on theground gets washed into theriver by storm water. Accordingto Cal Gillis, an environmentalhealth officer, BSU spends ap- 'proximately$20,tlhO to $25,000annually to minimize the pollut-ant discharge by having grounds.crews spend a few hours eachday picking up litter.

Gillis sees this project as animportant step for a growingcommunity, noting that as moreland is developed, less naturalfiltration exists. Because of con-tinued development it may be'necessary to continue projectssuch as this indefinitely.

The treatment system beinginstalled is a vortex type sys-tem that separates solid wastefrom water by using gravity andcentrifugal force. Because ofthe amount of water and size ofBSU's campus, the fourth stagefiltration system is just one ofthree planned sites.

,"[There are] too many sourc-es of storm water to focus at onepoint on campus," said DaveCooper, lead architect and proj-ect manager.

The-next phase will take placenear the stadium to treat thestorm water from the stadiumcomplex. Cooper hopes workcan begin for the next stagewithin a year.

"We're trying to fund all ofthis with state building funds, sowe're at the mercy of the legisla-ture," says Cooper, "[But] we'recommitted to following throughuntil the project is finished."

Deadline approachesfor humanities grants

Want free money? Ask theIdaho Humanities Council andyou might just get it!

Twice a year, the non-profitcouncil offers a small, but note-worthy allotment of grants tocommunity groups and Sept.·15marks the deadline for this fall'sround,

Boise State students andteachers are encouraged to ap-ply for grants as well as researchfellowships. The projects shouldbe centered on subjects in thearea of the humanities, such asart, history, literature, english,and publishing. ,

"Our mission is to enhancepublic understanding of the hu-manities," says the council's ex-ecutive director, RickArdinger.

The grants can vary in amountfrom a few hundred dollars upto $10,000 based on the type ofproject proposed, but Ardingersays that most grants averageout to be around $3,000 - 4,000.

Ardinger says that the coun-ell, a division of the NationalHumanities Council, has had adirect hand in bringing a num-ber of world-renowned speak-ers to Boise State and the Boisecommunity, through these typesof grants.

famous speaker to Boise State,they could come to us, as long asit's open to the public," Ardingersays. •

The council also assists withresearch fellowships for educa-tors allover the state for proj-ects big and small. Ardingernotes that a small grant can beenough for a BSU professor toforego teaching summer schooland spend some time as a stu-dent again.

"Most of the requests fromBSU some from faculty mem-bers who want to do researchor do special projects," saysArdinger. ,

The grants are also a great wayto hone any student's grant-writing skills, says Ardinger. Henotes that because the coun-cil receives so many well-in-tentioned requests, selectivitywhen choosing winners can of-ten be based of the competencyof the proposal's writer.

"If you can write a grant for us,you can write a grant for any-body," says Ardinger. He alsoadvises all applicants to take afew other steps in order to bet-ter their chances.

"Call first. If it sounds likesomething we'll fund, I encour-age people to fill out the grant,"he says. "Submit a rough draftone week before the deadline.", But while style is key, Ardingersays time is also an importantconsideration in putting togeth-er a proposal that will catch theeye of the council.

"If you're thinking September15th, start thinking about it now.You've really got to start early,"says Ardinger.

The soundand

the fuhrer:Hatemongeringbas n~ place in

our politics

Knight Ridder/1iibune NewsService

The [allowing editorial appeared In tileDallas Morning News on Thursday, July 8

Stop it. Stop it this instant.No more Hitler images. No

more brown-shirt references.It doesn't matter who started

it. It doesn't matter who perpet-uatedit.

It doesn't matter how badly ei-ther party wants to win this elec-tion or how much its partisansdislike the guy on the other side.

For those who've missed allthe yelling, the Bush campaignhas a Web ad that tars the Kerryforces as ..the coalition of the .wild-eyed." In addition to filmdips of agitated Democrats, thespot offers glimpses of two adssubmitted months ago to a con-test run by MoveOn.org, whichlikened the president to the Nazidictator.

Bush followers say the ads_ which MoveOn yanked after afew days from among the 1,500entries on its site - fairly rep-resent Democratic fanaticism.Kerry supporters say his cam-paign had nothing to do withthe original ads, while the Bushcampaign has everything todo with keeping them in pub-

-Iic view. Further, the Kerry-itessay, the Bush spot, by juxtapos-ing AI Gore, Howard Dean andAdolf Hider in what looks like aspit-slinging derby, draws a sub-liminal connection between theDemocrats and the Nazis.

Frankly, my dear, when itcomes to the nuances of thething, we don't give a damn.

Every political party, interestgroup or individual should re-tract any and every Hitler imageor reference, regardless of whereit originated. Both sides shouldapologize - if not to each other,

, to survivors of the Holocaust andWorld War n.

This cheap, tawdry brand ofpolitics is an insult to the suf-fering and the sacrifice that ulti-mately triumphed over one of thegreatest evils the world has everknown. No person in Americanpublic life today is comparableto Adolf Hitler. No party runningcandidates for office is compara-ble to the Nazis.

Hitler was an apostle of hate.Sixty years after his death, hisimage still evokes hate - onlyhate. Hate is a corrosive. To useHitler's image is to throw acidon the foundations of our bodypolitic.

America is not immune to hate;periodically, we have flirted withit. We have survived as a nationonly because common sense,common purpose and commondecency prevailed.

So let's bury Hitler - for good.Resurrecting him when it seemsconvenient, like some kind ofrhetorical boogeyman. is badpolitics. It's bad karma. It's badfor the country.

America's finestadvo-cate for "social justice" and"equality" is none other thanEminem, the popularly' re-volting rapper whose recentlyrics glorify such things asdrugs, murder, rape and oth-er sorts of atrocious pastimes.Eminem is the quintessentialhomophobe and the quintes-sential chauvinist, but he isquite celebrated in the cor-ner of the left that had him asthe keynote speaker for lastweekend's Detroit Hip-HopSummit, an effort to registeryoung gangstas to vote.

Eminem himself is not avoter, for he is a convictedfelon. But that did not deterthe organizer of the Hip-HopSummit, Russell Simmons.Simmons created the quarterbillion dollar Def Iam Recordsempire, built the rap music in-dustry and helped make it intoa depraved culture of its own.

in his song "White America":"I am the derringer aimed atlitde Erica to attack her char-acter / The ringleader of thiscircus of worthless pawns /Sent to lead the march rightup to the steps of Congress/ and piss on the lawns ofthe White House / To bumthe flag and replace it with aParental Advisory sticker."

These are the forces ofsoul destruction gone politi-cal. Voting is not meant to becool for gangster rappers, orhip for the young, or uncon-scious of its heritage. Voting isa great privilege to be enteredinto only by Citizens who un-derstand the gravity of the is-sues they hold in their hands.So thank God that Eminem

. can't vote, but thank the devilthat all of Eminem's fans arebeing registered. Though theythemselves are quite liber-ated in the flesh, the hip-hopvote is coercive and totalitar-ian in nature. In the words ofEminem from the song "po.off," "You do what we say andwe'll do what we want to,"

ilemmaone 'of the many questionss rroundingthe ronco's' 4 season

BYJEREMY RASMUSSENSports Editor

We are fast approaching whatis said to be the most highly an-ticipated season in Bronco foot-ball history. This year's teamwill be aiming to continue theenormous success they haveachieved the past two seasons.In 2004, the Broncos are shoot- 'ing for a third straight undefeat-ed Western Athletic Conferencetitle as well as a third strait finishin the top 20 of the NCAA polls.They will attempt tq do so with arevamped team, after replacing13 starters from last years 13-1success story that knocked offTCU on their horne turf in thePlains Capital Fort Worth Bowl.

After starting the 2003 seasonas no more than a blip on thetop 25 radar, the Broncos fin-ished at 15th in the ESPNIUSAToday Coaches Poll, 16th in theAssociated Press Poll, and 17thin the final BCS Standings. Onceagain, Boise State is receiv-ing no early recognition or re-spect from the critics. The lossof eight offensive starters, in-cluding three offensive linemanand the phenom that was RyanDinwiddie, will definitely havean effect on the Broncos; how-ever, they replaced three of-fensive lineman along with fiveother offensive starters last yearand it seemed to work out ok.

Boise State will be helped outa little by this year's favorable'

schedule. The Bronco fans willbe in for a treat this fall as theirteam will host seven of their 11scheduled games. The sevenhomesteads bring in archrivalIdaho along with most of thekey match-Ups for the Broncosthis season. BSU will also wel-come Oregon State, BYU,Fresno State, Hawaii, LouisianaTech,andSMU. Nevada, Tulsa;San Jose State, and UTEP will beplayed on the road.

After the controversial two-point loss to Pac-10 opponentOregon State last season, theonly loss of the year 'for BSU,the Bronco fans have a chanceto aid in a different outcomewhen the Broncos face theBeavers on ESPN Friday, Sept,10. The Broncos will be shoot-ing to maintain an undefeatedrecord on nationally televisedgames not only against OSU,but also in two other homegames throughout the season.The September 24 game againstBYU and the Hawaii game onOctober 29 will also be televisedon ESPN and ESPN 2. All threegames are scheduled on Fridaynights at Bronco Stadium, withthe remainder of the games be-ing played out on Saturdays.

Earlier this summer AthlonSports put out a pre-seasonguide that ranked and dis-cussed all 117 NCAA DivisionI-A teams. The Broncos wereplaced all the way down at 49th,Athlon didn't even have the

Broncos three-peating as WAC,champs. According the Athlon'spre-season predictions, FresnoState is ranked 35th and favoredto snatch the WAC title fromBSU. The match-Up betweenthe Broncos and the Bulldogswas listed as a toss-up in thepredictions. Also Oregon State,ranked 22nd in the magazine,was set as the only.predictedloss for BSU.

'TBEBE1FIBW-'The BourneSupremacy'

BYCHIDS HEWITI'Knight Ridder Newspapers

A little cheat sheet for those who can't keepBen Affleck and Matt Damon straight: Affleckis the brunet, Damon the blond. Affleck is tall,Damon is kinda short. Affleck makes cruddymovies, Damon makes good ones .

Damon's latest is "The Bourne Supremacy,"a dandy paranoid thriller that begins confus-ingly but gets swifter and leaner as it goes.Under the direction of Paul Greengrass, whomade the Irish "troubles!' drama "BloodySUnday," this is a movie with no down time.The whole thing is set in crisis mode, as JasonBourne (Damon), a spy with amnesia, tries toget out from under a murder rap dumped onhim by his old employers at the CIA.

"Supremacy" harkens back to great '70sthrillers such as "Three Days of the Condor"and "The Parallax View." It's not as good asthose classics » there's that confusion at thebeginning, and "Supremacy" would be richerif Bourne were trying to save something otherthan himself, like an ideal or a loved one - butit, too, springs out of the conviction that theworld is a crummy place, run by crummy peo-ple, and that our only hope is that rare individ-uals with pure hearts and minds will triumph.

The difference between those '70s moviesand "Supremacy" Is that, mostly for market-ing reasons, the new one is more hopeful. Thehero must survive because, unlike in the '70s,he is signed for a sequel,

Greengrass directs "Supremacy" with ener-gy and moral authority, and he stages a shock-lng, visceral car chase that seems unlikely tobe topped this year. We still don't know a lotabout Bourne - heck, Bourne doesn't know alot about Bourne - but Damon's grave, haunt-ed performance suggests there'stots to discov-er. He has an inner life (again, unlike Affleck'scallow characters); we just haven't uncoveredit yet.

What's best about "Supremacy" - and this,almost certainly, is Greengrass' doing - is itslevel of respect for the -audlence. The mov-ie doesn't sugarcoat its characters or tell uswhat to think about them. There isn't, for in-stance, a scene where Bourne picks off one ofthe many goons on his tail and then pausesto help a blind nun cross a street. And when aformer colleague tells Bourne, "You'I1 alwaysbe a killer," we know that's the truth.

SHOULD VOU G07 Vas. It's exciting and smart.

New 'Sopranos' episodeswon't be shown until

2006, HBO says , \,;,

BYUSA DE MORAESThe Washington Post

LOS ANGELES--The next seasonof "The Sopranos" won't debut untilJanuary 2006, HBO chief Chris Albrecht

told adoring critics Thursday at SummerTV Press Tour 2004.

One female reporter-van unfamiliar face atthe press tour and clearly not yet a convert tothe Church of Albrechtology--asked whetherhe was worried that another break of morethan a year betwp.p.n seasons might cause themob drama to lose momentum.

"No," Albrecht said curtly, giving her one ofhis amused ""what are you, nuts?" looks. Theaudience was delighted.

There is an explosive concoctionstirring underneath the surface ofour clean city-town, on the vergeof combustion. Boise is ready forsomething to take root that will drawand release a surge of art into theworld. Boise Open Studios CoIlectiveOrganization (BOSCO) is attemptingto do just that. It is not just any oldscene, either; It's a movement.

Two years ago, local artists whowere tired of the status-quo and fa- e

miliar with the' open studios con-cept saw our need for a healthy artscommunity. The number of artistsgrew from a few to fifty, all of themon-board and opening their studioscollectively to the public and to eachother. Membership is .juried by thefifty existing members. To be a partof the fun, one must submit a re-sume, slides, and have a studio ac-cessible to the public.

Though the open studios conceptis not a new one, it hasn't found aplace in Idaho until now. Public artconfined to independent galleriesand museums often operates com-petitively, strangling unity amongartists; a key essential for a thrivingart community. We all have to makea living, right? •

In meeting with co-founder LorinHumphreys of BOSCO, I receiveda "that's-why-I'm-alive" Infusion.

stirs up

The guy loves making art. He lovestalking about art. And he is in lovewith the idea that BOSCO Is pavingthe way for artists to make a livingin Idaho. Humphreys wants to seegreat art busting out of its seams. Hisview on what is going on in the artcommunity in Boise is down to earthand glimmering with hope-andwith good reason.

, "I was in San Francisco eightmonths ago and went into a re-ally great gallery and I mentionedthat I was from Idaho and they said,'Really? I heard that there Is some-thing good going on in Idaho." The

ise's a iiimixword is getting out.

In talking with Humphreys, it isclear that BOSCO isn't one more elit-ist organization that will broaden thegap between artist and non-artist.The heart of its creation was birthedfrom his concept of humbly wieldingcreativity.

"Joseph CampbeIl talked aboutwhat makes great art. To make greatart, the ego has to be crushed. Selfgoes away; When really great thingshappen, it is when ego goes away."Call him; test it out. He will Inviteyou into his studio and answer anyquestions you might have. This isthe attitude of Boise Open StudiosCooperative Organization, to makeart accessible on every level to you,and to me.

"If I'm going to live here, I want tolive in a place where I am inspired bythe art I see. You can't do it alone. Alot of artists are just business men,they don't work together; but any-time there has been a great art move-ment, the artists work together, theyknow each other."

According to Humphreys, inter-connectedness creates awarenessand is a magnet for other artists. Aspeople grab a hold of the Idea of per-sonifying the creation of visual arts,those less familiar will feel more wel-come to draw near. Those alreadyin Jhe business of creating are fedby the richness of such a unified artcommunity.

The importance of BOSCO is im-measurable at this point, but ishuge. Boise artists struggle to makea living here. It is no cheap matterto have a working studio, and it isalmost impossible for artists to cre-ate an impacting awareness on theirown. In working together, variousforms and ideas are made accessibleto more people. Instead of randomlittle voices crying out for support,they have converged. The big voiceof art is forming, and wP.are startingto hear and believe. -

Good things are going on in Boise.Great art isn't outside our borders,but rich within. Art isn't for a certaingroup to understand, it is for all ofus. For the health of us as individu-als, and for the heart of our country,turning over and over again the great"why" question oflife.

Humphreys sums up BOSCO: "Wewant people to come into our stu-dios; we want to make this not amoney issue. They walk into a gal-lery and they have a salesperson ontop on them. We want to bring peo-ple into our homes and talk on a per-sonal level. The money comes uplong after they decided which piecethey like. It isn't about money. It'sabout making really good art andgetting it out there." ,

We don't have to leave home tofind great art; we just have to contactthe people at BOSCO.

"What is thiswoman--an id-iot?" mumbledone critic.

Albrecht thengave his "suchare the pettyconcerns- of oth-er networks"speech, alwaysa crowd-pleaserat the press tour.Critics respond-ed with guffaws

KRTPHOTlJ(lllAl'llBVBAARTwtTCHERlHSO and harrumphs.At HBO, addi-

tional seasons ofdrama series are

regarded more like sequels than actual "sea-sons." It made a great deal of sense.

Albrecht then scanned the room. "Uh-oh--a tough question from (critic's name with-held)."

"Not really," the critic said. He want-ed to know whether there is a chance "TheSopranos" creator David Chase would domore than 10 episodes next season, as origi-nally announced.

Albrecht responded that he's told Chasethat it would be great for him to do as manyepisodes as he could and that until the verylast episode of "The Sopranos" airs, he's al-ways hopeful Chase will find a way to tell morestories.

Drowning Pool rebuilds, after frontman's death, BY ERIC R. DANTON

The Hartford Courant

When Drowning Pool singerDave Williams died of a heartdefect in August 2002, it repre-sented more than just a person-al crisis for his bandmates. .

It seemed to signal the end ofDrowning Pool as well, after re-leasing just one album in 2001.

Williams, who was 30, occu-pied that most esoteric of bandpositions: lead vocalist. An im-portant job in any genre, thesinger is even more so in heavymetal because it's his (or veryoccasionally in metal, her) per-sonality, outlook and worldview,' communicated through

,lyrics that are often highly per-sonal, that define a band's char-

" acter and attract like-minded~,fans., It's something that can be

imitated, but the character of,a band is almost impossible

to duplicate. Consider BlackSabbath after Ozzy Osbourne

, left, Motley Crue without VinceNeil or Judas Priest during the

: years without Rob Halford: No'one cared.

Those three singers eventual-ly reunited with the bands theyhelped make famous, which issomething that can never hap-pen with Drowning Pool.

After taking time off to grieve.though, the three survivingmembers of the Dallas banddecided to try making music to-gether with a new singer, .

Talk about a tough situation.Any vocalist who joined theband would have to establishhis own identity, which wouldinevitably come to representthe band's, while competingwith the memory' of Williamsamong fans and even, at times,his bandmates.

"The band becomes knownas a certain character and en-tity, Its own kind of persona, ifyou will," drummer Mike Lucesays. "So It was definitely hard,but what we ultlmatelytold our-selves was, if it feels like a bandagain, if a guy comes in and hebrings his own thing to the ta-ble and can still pull off the oldstuff without stepping on any-body's toes, and if it feels like aband again, then we'll give it ashot." '

There was a guy like that, withthe uniikely name Gong.

Jason "Gong" Jones was atattoo artist and sometimessinger in Los Angeles, wherehe was "doing an alt-countrykind of thing" when DrowningPool heard about him from amutual friend. The band invit-ed the South Carolina native to

try out, and Jones had a dreambefore his audition that he gotthe gig. ,

"So when I went in, I waspretty much confident that Iwas going to get it," he says. "Iwasn't really tripping;" , -

Jones brought an originalityto the audition that appealed toLuce, bassist Stevie Benton andguitarist C.J. Pierce, Althoughthe musiclans wanted some-one who was able and willing'to sing, Williams' 'songs from"Sinner," they weren't lookingfor a clone.

"We didn't want a copy-catcookie-cutter, which wouldhave been practically impos-sible anyway," Luce says. "Imean. there's no replacingDave. We all know that."

Luce is quick to laud the newsinger's individuality, though'he can't help but marvel atsome of the similarities be-tween Jones and Williams. '

"It's just crazy how theseguys, having not ever knowneach other, never met, havingdifferent backgrounds, theykind of pen their lyrics from asimilar vault," he says.

Jones says he and the fouroriginal members of DrowningPool grew up with many of thesame influences.

"The main thing that helped

me is, we all listened to thesame (expletive), when we werekids, Dave' included," Jonessays. "Me and Dave aren't thesame person, but I'm sure weshopped at the same' store on alot of things,"

Although Drowning Pool'snew album, "Desensitized,"bears sonic resemblance to"Sinner" -- as it should, giventhat only the singer has changed-.Jones brings a different ap-proach to the churning metaltunes. The result is a record thatis more consistent and dynamicthan "Sinner," though the truetestis how fans view the recon-

,structed Drowning Pool.Not everyone likes it."Jason 'Jones will nevertake

over the real Drowning Pool,", one listener Wrote on a mes-sage board on the band's Web'site. The posting continued."If somebody in a band dies,then they should not go on. IfDave would've left the band, Itwould've been different."

That the writer was immedi-ately bombarded by messagesdefending Jones shows that thenew singer is finding a placeamong Drowning Pool devo-tees, which the singer says hehas noticed on the road.

"For the most part, it's beenpositive," he says.

Their egos clash. They fightover women. They kick out thejams. The self-destructive dra-mas and rebellious instincts ofrock bands make them a natu-ral draw to documentary film-makers.

When the tension stays on-screen, you can end up withrock doc gems like "Mctallica:Some Kind of Monster" and"Dlgl," which chronicles a pair'of rock rivals' intertwined fates.Both films will be released thisfali. But when theturmoil spillsinto the process of making anddistributing a film, the rockdoc's double-edged sword slic-es deep.

Two more recent rockumen-taries, the Ramones chroni-cle "End of the Century" and"MCS: A True Testimonial,"have already played several fes-tivals; But because of infighting_ among band members, andamong band members and film-makers _ these films have notbeen distributed. And there's achance they never will.

"You often have large and dif-fering egos in a rock band," says'Eamonn Bowles, president ofMagnolia Pictures, which stlll

, hopes to distribute "End of theCentury." Bowles is aiso a mem-ber of aNew York rock band, theMartinets.

"That can 'make it hard to getthem to agree on things, and itcan make it hard for the film-makers to get things cleared,because sonie members don'tlike how they're being portrayedvis-a-vis the other people in theband,"

Such was the case with "Endof the Century," which digs into'the cultural influence and brutalinfighting that marked the ~70spunk pioneers The Ramones. '

Unified onstage by their uni-form of T-sWrts, jeans and

; leather jackets and by their, adoption of the same last name,

, \,;,

, the Ramones were in fact a pret-ty divided bunch. Johnny ruledthe band with an iron fist. Heaiso stole Joey's fiancee, linda,in the '80s, creating a rift be-tween guitarist and singer thatwas never healed,

It all sounded like great ma-terial for a film to MichaelGramaglia and Jim Fields, whospent seven years working on"End of the Century."

But that same tension helpedensure that "End of the Century"wouldn't be done in time for thestart of the next century. A com-hination of bad blood, amongfactions in the band and lowfunds for the fllmmakers haskept Century on the shelf. '

"There was aiways hostilitybetween Johnny and Joey," saysGramaglia by phone from NewYork. "It continued even thoughthe band was no longer togeth-er."

Then there's the matter ofsong clearance. The fllmmak-ers couldn't pay for the songs tostart with, and the longer theywent without a distributiondeal, the fewer funds they hadat their disposal. ,

They've edited the film downto include a more affordablenumber of songs, and they'veadded more footage of Joey.They stlll hope for a release thissummer.

, Song rights are aisokey to the delay of "TrueTestimonial," the story of the

rabble-rousing '60s Detroitband the MCS. Guitarist WayneKramer, prominently featuredin the film, insists that the film-makers backed out of a verbaiagreement promising him a"music producer" credit on thefilm. "That's an absolute fanta-sy," says Testimoniai produc-er Laurel Legler. "It never hap-pened. There was never such ajob. Sometimes, people get theidea in their head that there'smoney Involved and suddenlyeverything changes. Making aprofit is not what you shoot forin a film like this. You just try toget back some of the money thatyou spent."

But sometimes, bitterconflict can be the engine thatmakes a rock doc run.

Director Ondi Timonerwon this year's documentaryGrand Jury Prize at Sundance for"Digl," which digs into the rival-ry between the Dandy Warholsand the Brian JonestownMassacre. The focal point is therelationship between CourtneyTaylor of the successful Warholsand Anton Newcombe of theproudly underground Massacre."Anton is my friend and my en-emy, the greatest inspirationand. ultimately, the greatestregret," says Taylor in the film.Newcombe has complainedabout how he is depicted in thefilm, but the deai is done, andPaim will release "Dig!" this fall.
