~ISL Athletics fees are

already rising under President Geoff Gamble's five year plan. Students paid $49.25 per semester this year. The fee will increase by $7.50 every year until it tops out at $64.25 fall semester of 2005.

UM president George Dennison has repeatedly stated that he will not increase their Athletic fee from $30 to $60 as was proposed, in part due to resistance by UM students and Governor Judy Martz.

UM assured the regents at a prior meeting that their budget was under control, whereas MSU was honest about their shortfall as early as October. Gamble did not mention the issue in his annual spring address last Wednesday.

The Bobcat athletics pro­gram has an annual budget of around $8.2 million, where the Grizzlies have over a million dollars more to spend with their budget of around $9.3 million.

Both schools are already trying to work through debt accumu­lated because of expenses related to the construction and renova­tion of football stadiums.

Spending habits of the Grizzly athletics staff have been criticized out of concern for their lax attention to the set budget. Large amounts of booster money are pent by both departments to attract

The Nader Ouestion ~

Consumer crusader turned Presidential Candidate, Ralph Nader, has run in and lost the past four presidential elections. While he has received 2.7 percent of the popular vote, he has never received a single electoral vote. Having announced his

candidacy for the 200-t Presidential Elections this February, is it worth it for Nader to continue his quest to be President?

who don't know who he is, becau~e most of us are too young to remember

why he's famous, Ralph Nader made has name know back in the 60's. He was largely responsible for pushing through Congress the National Traffic and Motor vehicle Safety Act, which helped made cars safer.

During this time it was revealed that General Motors was so scared of Nader and what he stood for that they hired a private investigator to dig up dirt against him. Later Nader filed a lawsuit against the automotive giant for invasion of pri­vacy and won a large settlement that he later used to setup foundations advocat­ing consumer rights. Nader started went on to start other crusades for consumers, in areas ranging from further car safety to meal quality control.

This is Nader's fourth presidential bid, and in his last run he won 2.74 percent of the vote, which many Democrats argue cost Al Gore the election. Over the past 40 years Nader really hasn't changed much;

h e 's still fight-ing for the Amer11..an public, and so in a lot of ways the tran ­sition from the consumer crusader to champion of the American way, aka President of the Vnited States, isn't that big of a leap. Both jobs require you to be an advocate for the a\'erage person, and fight the fight for the person whose voice normally gets lost in the hallowed hallways of power. This concept is something that I think our current President has lost sight of, and alLhough Bush has no desire Lo find a different job, I think it should be the goal of the people of this COUJJtry to help him start packing up the Oval Office.

should be a wake up call to the party. Obviously there is much frustration among liberals in the direction that Democratic Party is headed, and party leaders should examine their policies and modify it lo satisfy the growing number of dis­gruntlement members.

Ralph Nader has been a prominent pub­lic servant for almost 50 years now and for him to yet again spend the energy, time and money to run a national campaign is not an ego booster, but a chance for him to force the two dominant parties to talk abou t issues that they choose to ignore because it would cause political restlessness in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. It is the issues that are being ignored that most need to be dis­cussed on the national stage. All I have to say is "Run, Ralph, Run!"

Letter to the Editor

Serving as ASMSU Senator is a thankless job that requires count­less hours to benefit students. We're i.npaid and rarely receive recognition, unless in a nega­tive situation, say in an opinions article in the Exponent. We work tirelessly for students, yet those who get paid to bring the issues to the student body, don't come to our meetings unless they're really fired up.

As a resume b uilder, our posi­tions are useless. "Oh, you were on your college student council? Good job putting prom together so well!" From an employer's

perspective, you are elected to a fun club, a well-compensated, fun club. Hey, maybe I should use this article as "writing for college newspaper" on my resume too.

Besides, the percent of cam­pus that reads our school newspa­per 1s perhaps 50% of the popu­lation and the percent that cares

enough to read the opinions is probably less. Realistically what is this, an attempt to make myself feel better? 1 think so.

t>light I say that we make "completely irrational" decisions

based on all informatio n , because we are persons of low integrity and mentality? If the students would take time to attend meet­

ings or do research to review the facts, they may be less inclined to judge. It's their right not to care, that's why they have representa­

tives to work for them. One more thing ... Clearing a problem within a

committee, or resolving any con­spiracy theory is NOT a major issue for us. Now, considering whether a $27 million project is worthy to be addressed to the students, deciding if we would like to continue the law suit with the governor and the state, and challenging the administration

on budgeting requests we deem unworthy are some of the more prominent issues we consider.

ext time a story appears about

our office, l encourage everyone to relax and really listen so a solu­tion can be fo und in hopes of ending this pitiful debate.

The Montana State Hellcats hockey club team officiall) wrapped up their season JI.larch 27 with their final game against Metro State University (Denver) .

The Hellcats are a club team whose primary funding comes from the players on the team and several spon ors around town. Although the athletics department does not sponsor this team, they are part of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA).

The ACHA was started in 1991 in order to bring structure to collegiate hockey. The organi­za tion is a non-profit organiza­tion that regulates national tour­naments at a collegiate level.

Since the Hellcats are in Division II of the ACHA, they have to compete with 100 teams in order to be the top team in their division. The division is further divided into four sub­division : ortheast, Sou theast, \'\'est, and Central.

The team only plays other teams in their sub-division to secure a spot into the final tour­nament. The top five teams in the region go to the final tour­nament. Once '1t the tourn<1ment the team will have to play teams in the other sub-divisions.

"This was my third year playing for the I lellcats and br far the most successful," sta ted Erik "Easts ide" Sundmark. "Ever} year we get more orga­nized, gain more fans, and get more recogn ition as a result of

players from the previous sea­son the team spent the first half of the season rebuilding. After an eight game losing streak, the team pulled it together to win 10 out of 14 games in the second half of the season.

The Hellcats finished the season with a 12-11-2 record, and were ranked 10th in the

ACHA Division II for the Western region.

The 1 !ellcats still h,l\ e a positi\'e ou tlook on the next season even though they are los­ing their number one player and captain, Levi Shugart.

Shugart averaged 2.37 points per game and has an 11-point edge over Jeff Richardson with 45 points for the 19 games tha t he played.

Richardson who is also leav­ing the team next season played in every game and walks awa\ with not only 3.J points and 18 goab, but leads the team in penaltv minutes averaging 4.0.J penalty minutes per game.

Greg Kudrna had been an Assistant Coach under Potera­Haskins for the past two seasons at Montana State. He also assisted Potera-Haskins at Texas Wesleyan from 1999-2001.

Sacajawea's geology is one of her most interesting features.

The Bridge1 Range is bisected bv the Willow Creek fault between Truman Gulch and Ross pass. The areas south of the pas. are made of Paleozoic Rock. North of the fault, the rock is Pre­cambrian. Around one billion rears separates rhe time periods.

Hiking up the cirque to Sacagawea immerses visitors in a geologic time machine. Crinoid and Brach1opod fossils are com­mon. Small Yertebrate fossils can also be found. On the southwest side of the cirque is a tongue-like formation. If you look c,1refully m between the lower rocks you will find a permanent la\·er of ice.

EXPONENT WRITER

This weekend, students and members of the communit) will have the opportunity to attend a performance that samples many different types of dance, includ­ing belh dancing, tango, modern, .111d ballet.

The l\ISL Repertory Dance Productions will hold "The \'01ce of Dance" on i\la\ 15-17. Show' are hl'!d 111 the SUB Theatre and start ,lt 7:30 p.m., "ith tickeh a\·ailable at the Box Office at 6:30.

This year's production will h,n·e 22 different pieces and include about 36 choreographers and dancers. Unlike other rears, a wide range of d.mce genres will be showc,hed. People from the Lotus Fire Belh Dancmg Club, Flamenco Club, ,1nd Tango Club, as well ,1s the \ lont,ma Ballet Compam and independent choreographers, are bringing their unique pieces to this di,·er e producuon. Pieces range from tap dancmg to hip­hop music and modern dan.:~ to the more classKal forms of dance. l\ fany pieces are only three to fi.1Ur minutes 10113, allowing for a dt\'erSL colle..:t1on of stvks, 111 a show sd1eduled to be ,1bout an hour and a half long.

One of this w.ir's frature pieces ts a

remake of the movie Chicago's "Cell Block Tango," by Katherine i\liller and Jocelyn Short. It is one of the biggest pieces, with fifteen dancers, and very similar to the mm·ie's dance.

"Part of being a dancer is performance, o it \\as logical to start a group for performance," explained Rozan Pitcher, a pro­fessor of d,111ce at i\ISU. This annual production is a pl.ice for students in the dance produ..:tion dass at ,\!St:, plus anyone else '' ith an interest in d,1nce, to t,1ke part in a fun shO\\.

\\'hen Pitcher first came to t\1SU, one of her responsibilities was building the dance program. This show began with only twel\'e members recruited from the d,mce program and around campus. Now, people from all of the departments on campus, .md former MSU graduates and people in the community, take part 111 the production.

want to continue to dance or learn to dance, even if they have never danced before," added Pitcher.

M U students in the dance production class choreograph many pieces in the show. Cas ie Lewis, locelyn Short, I leather Cochrane, Callie Blackwood, and Amanda King are the undergrad­uate choreographers this ,·ear, and Josh Engle and Katherine i\liller are graduate students.

Choreographers not invoh·ed in the dance production class have either been i1wited because of their reputation, or have had to audition. Piper Flair was an i\!SU graduate with a mmor in Dance, and she is now teaching at the Montana Ballet Company. K a y

\'an orman is abo a graduate of i\ISU and a former profes-or in dance. Barb Dralle is the

dance specialist at the Chief Joseph t\liddle School, and Tim Edgar is a local dancer with an excellent reputation. Isis Ptak and Dyanna Styles are leading the belly dancers' piece, and Rozan Pitcher choreographed a modern piece.

" \\'e can teach people to dance, but [we] cannot teach people to be a choreographer," said Pitcher. "They are a special breed." She went on to explain how choreographers' goal is to u~e movement to communicate to the audience an idea or con­cept. The) have to \•isualize the movement to accompan) an idea and fit it with music.

Students are invoked with the publicity, program­ming, stage work, and choreography necessary for a

~uccessful production. Thll

annual sho" is 'POnsored in pa rt b,· ~ 1 L' Ll\·eh Arts and Fntertainment and the Department of Health and Human Development. Ticket re\•enue also helps to pay for the costumes, sets, lighting, and adverllsi ng.

It is a fun, entertaining evening," said Pitcher. "There will be something there for everyone." In the past, this ha; always been an extraordinaruv high-energy performance, and this year's di\'ersitv means that evervone will find some aspect of the production appealing.

"LadyKillers" ANDY ROWSE

l::.XF-O"JE NT W>-<1 I: R

There is a reason th,Jt Tom Hanks has won two Osc.ars o\·er his illmtrious 24-ycar career.

"The Ladykillers" marks Hanks' first film with Joel and Ethan Coen, the directors behind "The Hudsucker Proxy," "O' Brother Where Art Thou," and "The Big Lebowski." These two brothers have made a habit of taking big name actors and putting them in the best rolls of their careers. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman in "The Big Lebowski" are two of the most quoted and remembered char­

acters in bowling movie history. Tom Hanks continues in this trend as Goldhwait Higginson Dorr III, Ph.D; a southern

gentleman of the "Edgar Allan Poe" sorts. Goldhwait, a scholar of romance languages, conis­seur of Poe poetry, and all­

out crook that enjoys stealing casino money and other such

wickedness. Goldhwait assembles an

aswrted team of miscreants that must overcome ead1 other's differences to successfully com­plete the caper. Joining the pro fessor are demolitions expert Garth Pancake ( J. K. 1mmons), tunneling expert The General (Tzi Ma), big dumb muscle Lump (Ryan Hurst) and " the 111side man," Gawain MacSam (t-..larlon Waynes). Together, this c riminal conspiracy has plotted to dig a hole into the on-land \'ault of a riverboat casino and relieve it of its contents: that means steal ing a ll the money inside. As part of the p lot, Goldhwait takes

residence in the house of Mrs. t-.lunson, an old widow with nothing to do but go to church

and poke her nose in other people's business. Posing as a renaissance chamber orchestra, the villains pretend to practice in the basement, while in the

meantime digging a tunnel to the pay dirt.

Everything goes perfectly well until Mrs. Munson dis­covers th e miscreant's devious deeds. From there, people start to die and the last one standing gets the money.

"Th e Ladykillers" is a remake of a 1955 com­edv directed by Alexander 1\lackendri(k. Set 111 London

Cecil Parker, this film re.:eiwd \Cf\' good re\ ie\\s from crit­

ics 111 ii'. days. Instead of set­ting their story in the British

Isles, the Coen Brothers used the much more familiar Deep South, a place where they set their criticalh acclaimed "O' Brother \\'here Art Thou." The movie included an abundance of Edgar Allan Poe references and allusions. Goldhwait himself was very Poe-like,

and recited poetic Poe verses during the mo\ ie. There also is a suggestion of burying a person in the wa ll, much like

in Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado."

As an ensemble the cast is

riotous. They represent just about every different kind of person you cou ld possibly imagine, and th eir quarrels

are some of the most hilarious parts of the movie. Imagine the fun when you combine an

ex-Viet Cong general, a person with irritable bowel syndrome and a thug. That's more fun than a barre l of m onkeys.

The only problem I had was that this film was sl ightly an ti -cl imatic. While the rest of the movie is so well made, I was

able to look past it. Anvone who is a Coen brothers' fan should see this movie. Not only is the mo1·ie hilarious, but also Tom
