Another obstacle this year's
team faces is accessibility for students.
Every senate meeting is open to the
entire student body. The problem is
finding a time when ASUWT can meet.
Senate meetings are currently being
held on Tuesdays at 6:45 p.m.
The problem with having an evening
meeting is getting students to attend.
Most students are either done thinking about school by this time or are
attending a night class. Last year's
meetings were during the lunch hour,
but an hour was not nearly enough time
to get all of the work done.

Brewing a taste of strong coffee
Metro coffee shop provides alternative
to getting coffee on campus
by Marques Hunter
staff writer
For a significant period of
time, Starbucks has been the
exclusive coffee shop on campus. Now there's a new coffee
shop that better suits student's
budgets and is just as close.
"It's less expensive than
Starbucks and I like the atmosphere," said UWT library
employee Chris Oglesby. "It's
less corporate and the atmosphere is more unique."
Metro Coffee is a new coffee
shop on campus that opened the
first week of fall quarter.
If you miss the sandwich

coffee shop, you could easily
walk right past it. It's a hole in
the wall space and not the best
location to see it from the street.
Metro Coffee is located
across from the Science Building
or if you're walking down the
steps from Jefferson Street, it's
on your right-hand side. The
building that Metro Coffee is
inside of is property of UWT.
Owner of Metro Coffee,
Charlie Kempe, said when he
opened up the coffee shop the
day before school started, he was
unaware that his business was
located in the middle of a college
university.
He hopes his shop will gather
the interest of the campus community as well as the commuters
from the Tacoma School of Arts.
He has been involved in the
coffee business for roughly
seven years bartending in Seattle
and working at a coffee shop in
New York City. However, this is
his first time owning a coffee
shop.
"It seems to be a nice, quiet
place. People can come in and
read the paper and students can
do their homework," Kempe
said.
As you walk in,
don't worry about
the prices of the coffee because you
won't find them. All
you need to know
according to Kempe
is what you want to
drink.
"I think people
know it's a coffee shop and they
know what they want," Kempe
said. "It's less cluttered too without the prices on a board.
The simplistic model of
Metro Coffee adds a unique feel
because you know that the coffee
will not be expensive—something students are always conscious of
A regular 16 oz. latte will cost
roughly $2.50. The best deal
Metro Coffee has to offer is an
americano, any size for $1.25.
Kempe worked at an art
gallery in Seattle for seven years
and said that coffee and art go
well together. With Tacoma's
downtown sprucing with art, this
seems like an ideal place to open
a coffee shop.
"We offer a different product
compared to other coffee places
and 1 think independent coffee
shops offer a different kind of
flavor," Kempe said.
Kempe uses what's called
Lighthouse roasters. This is a
dark, strong kind of coffee that
he believes has a rich flavor to it.
So if you're looking for a
place to get some coffee and
you're tired of going to the same
coffee shop, you should check
out Metro Coffee. It has affordable prices and it's a pleasant
atmosphere with plenty of room
to study or do your homework.
"We wanted to look presentable and we wanted to make it
look like the space has already
been there as opposed to brand
new," Kempe said.
Metro Coffee is open Monday
though Friday from 7:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m., Saturday from 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday
from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

r Bash taps out early
by Mark T. White
staff writer
lthough the Welcome
Week finale thrown by
the ASUWT kicked off
as planned, the evening did not
continue according to schedule.
Less than two hours into the
evening the beer garden was
ordered closed.
The event, billed as an evening
of music, karaoke, gaming and a
beer garden, began at 8:00 in the
evening on Friday Oct. 1, and a
significant number of people were
beginning to arrive when the
announcement was made.
There was some confusion
among the crowd inside the roped
off "garden" when they were
informed that beer service was
shutting down. Revelers inside
the velvet barrier were asked to
finish their Bud Light and Red
Hook beers, the kegs were then
removed from the premises.
Shellie Jo White, Manager of
Student Life, cited closer inspection of UWT policy as the reason.
"Our current campus alcohol
policy lacked certain provisions
and clarity for the approval of sale
of alcoholic beverages on campus," White said.
White oversees Team OSL, the
name given to the Office of
Student Life. According to White,

etc. The team served this role in
the ASUWT's "Welcome Week"
festivities, including the "Take it
to the MATT" ftinction.
The removal ofthe beer garden
did not signal an end to the night's
festivities, however. Everyone
was having a good time greeting
old friends and meeting new ones.
The music pumping from the DJ's
system had everyone moving, the
upbeat rhythms kept the dance
floor occupied.
The new student center's
games also got a lot of use. The
pool tables were hubs of social
interaction and hotbeds of friendly
competition. There were some
intense video game battles as well.
Karaoke performances were a
big highlight. There were group
collaborations and stunning solo
performances. It was obvious that
some ofthe participants had made
it into the beer garden in time to
imbibe a few before their performance.
The rousing rendition of
Madonna's "Like a Virgin" by
Peter Kellet, ASUWT Director of
Events and Programming, thrilled
fans of Kellet's well known Elvis
impersonations. His vocal and
dance stylings were enjoyed by
the amused, and maybe somewhat
aroused, onlookers.
White cites Kellet's performances among the highlights of
"Welcome Week," and those present would hesitate to disagree.
There was some noticeable
disappointment that came with the
closing ofthe beer garden, however. Months of planning had gone
into the party and everyone was
looking forward to a good time
without any hassles.
This was the first function on
campus to offer a beer garden and
no one wanted to see it closed,
even those not consuming.
Adrienne Amold, ASUWT
Vice President, expressed concem
but stressed that the course of the
evenings festivities be a leaming
experience, especially when planning future events.
"This event will set the precedent for later events in that we will
research all areas in advance that
may be called into question," she
said, "as members of team
ASUWT we are always leaming."
There were some instances
reported of attendees moving to
the Harmon and the Swiss in order
to satisfy their desires for alcohol,
but it was far from a mass exodus.
"We decided to go to the
Swiss, have a beer, and retum to
the party later," said student
Brooke Berard.
People continued to come and
go throughout the night. The
party went through midnight as
planned, with all elements, except
the beer garden, in full swing.
Other events are planned this
quarter which are scheduled to
have beer service. White says that
the events will happen and, if policy requirements are satisfied, the
events will offer alcohol for those
wishing to partake.
"We are working to ensure all
processes, procedures, and policies are clarified and in place,"
White said.
Mathematics may determine success of a marriage

Washington couples now
have the option to trade in one
weekend of their time for the
possibility of a lifetime of marital happiness.
The
University
of
Washington, Seattle's emeritus
professor. Dr. John Gottman, a
world-renowned scholar on
marital relationships and the
causes of divorce and cofounder of The Gottman
Institute offers weekend workshops for couples at the Seattle
Center.
The October workshop,
which was held on the 23 and
24, was sold out, but couples
now have the opportunity to
register for the next workshop
on Feb. 5 and 6.
The workshop will help couples prevent problems and help
those that are already experienc-
ing marriage problems. It will
teach couples how to "foster
respect, affection, and closeness" and also how to "keep
conflict discussions calm,"
according to the Gottman
Institute Web site.
Gottman is the author or
co-author of 119 published
academic articles and 37
books.
Throughout his
research, he has been honored
with many awards such as:
The American Association for
Marriage and Family Therapy
Distinguished
Research
Scientist Award and The
American
Psychological
Association
Division
of
Family

Presidential
Citation
for
Outstanding

Research Contribution.
Together with mathematician
James Murray also from the

Many researchers and therapists believe that relationships
are much too complex for a
mathematical formula, but others think it is the up and coming
trend to marriage counseling. "I

Calgary-based psychologist and
family therapist. "I follow John
Gottman's marriage counseling
to the letter."
Gottman's research shows
that the two most critical points
in a relationship are the first
seven years of marriage and

reaches the age of 14, according
to his article in the Joumal of

the store's salesperson. "It's like

The newest shop to open in the
square is called Beta Mansions.
The mansions consist of gorgeous
pieces of glass art, topped off with
a bowl filled with smooth, colorftjl
stones and a Beta fish straight from
Thailand.
Prices on these customized

$40-$80 and are worth every

A few of the more intriguing

This gallery houses "probably

"There's always an artist on
duty," according to Colwell. "We
are an artist managed an(J owned
gallery." She referred to the gallery
as "an interpretive gallery, not
abstract, not realism. We're somewhere in the middle."
Sitting and chatting with
Colwell was very informative. She
pointed out that it is very important
that members of the community
support the shops in the Square.
"Anybody who buys a cup of
coffee or a small card here, that
dollar circulates immediately into
your own community," Colwell
continued. "Every merchant here
buys gas and groceries on their
way home."
The merchants also support
local holiday traditions. On
October 31, there will be trick or
treating at the mall from 2-5 p.m.,
and on October 30 there's a pumpkin painting contest for children.
And, with the Christmas season
approaching and lots of shopping

According to Colwell shopping
is a pleasure during the holiday

Is Yoga the key to a healthy body and healthy: minq)?

W
hen research and common knowledge tell us
that a healthy body promotes a
healthy mind, one might wonder how a college without a fitness facility manages to maintain equilibrium.
While the University of
Washington, Tacoma, struggles
with the financial implications
of setting up a fitness center of
some kind, there is still hope.
The college offers a yoga
program to students, faculty
and staff. The yoga class will
soon celebrate its first anniversary. The yoga instructor, Dr
Sian Davies, is better known
for her global geological
exploits.
Dr. Davies resume includes
an American Council on
Exercise, (ACE,) instructors
certificate in aerobics, plus a
long list of yoga qualifications.
Her experience as a yoga
instructor is at the forefront of
UWT's only current fitness
program.

Yoga has come a long way
in Westem culture since it hit
America in the 1960's. Yoga's
connection with the spiritual
side has given way to a more
fitness orientated side.
People are increasingly
looking to yoga to increase
flexibility and to build core
strength. This all goes toward
promoting general body health
and awareness.
A regular participant of the
yoga program is Laura Nole,
the manager at the campus
University Bookstore. "I just
love it," she said excitedly.
"You leave feeling amazing.

but
relaxed.
Sometimes 1 really have to
force myself to go, but when
I'm done, I'm always so happy
I went. Sian is great, I wish I
could tape her voice to take it
home."
"Practicing yoga has many
beneficial health effects,"
Davies said. "It is an excellent
way to reduce stress and
improve concentration whilst
stretching and strengthening
the body."
Davies has taught yoga for
people of all ages and abilities,
including yoga for seniors and
pre-natal yoga.
"There are modifications for
most poses that will suite
everyone.
The basic idea is to feel
challenged whilst remaining
successful," Davies said. "It's a
fine line and the participant is
the one in control, not the
instructor. The role of the
instructor is merely to guide."
Yoga for the autumn quarter
is every Monday, 12:45 to 1:45
p.m. Information and a price
schedule is available through
the Key Bank Professional
Development Center, including
information concerning student
discounts.
"There are so few opportunities on campus for students,
staff and faculty to keep
healthy and active," Davies
said. "I think it is really important that any activity promoting
health, including yoga, be
encouraged and supported by
UWT."
The old adage of, 'healthy
body healthy mind' might be
something for us to consider
during our busy lives.

UW defeats San Jose State, ends winless streak
by Jalce Adams
staff writer
The
University
of
Washington men's football team
put a positive spin on the 2004
season and pulled out a 21-6
win in Husky stadium against
San Jose State Saturday, Oct. 9.
In a game that will be
remembered for its rainy atmosphere and a suspicious fourth
down call by Coach Keith
Gilbertson, Husky fans can
breathe a little easier because
they got the winless monkey off
their backs.
"It was nice to come in here
and have some fun after the
game," Gilbertson said. "It is
way better than we have felt the
previous four weeks."
San Jose State, which was
coming off a 70- point outburst
against Rice last week, was held
to a meager two field goals
while compiling 133 yards of
offense, 22 yards passing.
The UW defense earned
praises and pats on their backs
for their efforts, as they held
San Jose State to its lowest
passing output (22 yards) in
school history.
"That was a good win," said
Gilbertson. "Our defense did a
lot of good things, keeping
them out of the end zone, in
light of how explosive we
thought they were from what
we saw them do in all their
games."
Washington opened the
game with an 80-yard drive that
featured newly appointed quarterback Carl Bonnell. On that
drive, the freshman QB carried
six times for 65 yards including
a touchdown from one yard out.
The "opening drive" almost
didn't happen because San Jose
State intercepted Bonnell on the
first play; however, the call was
reversed from a pass interfer-
ence call.
From the opening drive until
halftime, good running but poor
execution on passing dominated
the game.
Husky Running Back Kenny
James ran for a career high 189
yards on 26 carries, and with
Bonnell playing with a groin
injury, there was no need to
stress the passing game.
James ran for a 52-yard scoring run, which turned out to be
not only the longest touchdown
run of his career, but also the
longest run of the year for the
Huskies.
When interviewed after the
game about his strong running
performance, James gave credit
to his teammates, particularly
the offensive line.
"It feels good, but it's not all
about me," said James. "It takes
all 11 of us out there on that
field to accomplish that. Most
of that was from the line. They
came out and opened up some
big holes in the second half
and I just went out and used
my God-given talent and made
some plays."
Coach Gilbertson wanted
his players to learn from this
win and use their confidence
for their next scheduled
opponenet Oregon State.
Unfortunately, they lost to
Oregon State by the final score
of28-13.

The Seattle Seahawks were
enjoying an undefeated season
this year until somebody told the
Saint Louis Rams it was time to
visit Qwest Stadium.
In somewhat of a blitzkrieg,
the Rams flew into Seattle,
dropped a couple of bombs,
scored some touchdowns and
walked out victorious with a 3327 overtime victory.
Head Coach Mike Holmgren
was left to pick up the pieces for
a team that many predicted as

Rams QB Marc Bulger loaded
his guns and became a gunslinger
as he fired bullets to receivers at
will while directing a 17 point
fourth quarter comeback.
Reminiscent ofthe great quarterbacks in NFL history, Bulger
had a look and a swagger to him
that should have planted fear into
every Seahawks fan at the game.
Bulger executed with brilliance as Seahawk defenders
looked helpless in the wind.
Before the Rams comeback
and the Hawks second half woes,
the Hawks did show glimpses of
greatness.
Seattle's defense played particularly spectacular in the first
half, stopping the Rams consistently except for a 9-yard TD run

Los Lonely Boys more than one-hit wonder
by Michele Brittany-Bacha
staff writer
Los Lonely Boys (LLB) prove
that something good can come
out of Texas. The three Garzas,
Henry on guitar, Jojo on bass and
Ringo on drums, make up this
band that released their debut
self-titled album back in August
2003.
"Heaven" has been getting a
lot of airtime on local radio stations recently. As a song with an
edgy, swinging Latino rock beat
and well put together lyrics, I was
curious if they would be a one-hit
wonder.
I liked the one song so much
however that I took a chance and
spent the near $20 to buy their
CD to hear if they were as talented as I suspected they may be.
The purchase was worth every
penny!
With the first listening, I was
struck by the sequencing of their
twelve tracks that gave the
impression of experiencing a
concert.
From the beginning, this trio
gets things rocking with their first
track "Seiiorita" building to a
crescendo of excitement with
each subsequent track to "Onda"
(Wave). An extended acoustical
piece, the boys show off their
musical depth and expertise.
The CD concludes with a bal-
lad titled "La Contestacion" (The
Answer) and left me wanting to
listen to the CD again and again.
Eldest brother, Henry, in an
interview with USA reporter
Brian Mansfield, described their
music with a burrito metaphor,
"A burrito is filled with a bunch
of stuff. We [the brothers] are the
tortilla. Inside the tortilla, we've
filled it with all the knowledge
that we gathered from our influences. Our biggest influence is
our father, then come all the others: The Beatles, Ritchie Valens,
Willie and Waylon, Ronnie
Milsap, Stevie Wonder, Stevie
Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana.
We fold it up and we feed it to the
worid" (USA Today, May 17,
2004).
All those influences blended
well on the Garzas' musical
palette resulting in arrefreshing
sound that has crossed over from
country to rock 'n' roll.
In August, "Heaven" reached
number 9 on VH1 and number 1
on CMT in August and Sept.
Billboard charts for Oct. 16
showed that the group peaked at
number 9 and are currently at
number 37.
The fact that many of their
songs are bilingual has not
deterred from their growing popularity. In fact, the Spanish lyrics
typically mirror the English
lyrics within the song. This
proves that music can transcend
the language barrier and still be
enjoyed, feeling their passion and
focusing on the well-articulated
musical composition.
The boys began singing, playing and writing songs at a very
young age. They come from a
family where music has been the
primary focus. Their father was
part of a band made up of his
seven siblings during the 70's and
80's, but eventually struck out on
his own, pursuing a career in
country music.
During the 1990s, LLB played
back up to their father in
Nashville. At that time as
teenagers, they went to school
during the day and played at bars
during the evening.
Eventually, the boys dropped
out of school to pursue music
full-time.
In 1996, LLB realized they
had a sound of their own they
wanted to develop and therefore
amicably split from their father.
Having played together for so
many years, the brothers do it all:
writing, singing and playing.
They provide a smooth harmony
that is reminiscent of the Allman
Brothers.
Currently, LLB is on tour, but
unfortunately they do not have
the Pacific Northwest listed in
their upcoming concert dates.
The enhanced CD version how-

RIngo, Jojo, and Henry Garza (left-right) make up LLB.
ever does have a live concert
video from The Heart of Texas
concert.
LLB are explosive on stage,
exuding infectious energy. The
performance is proof that indeed
these guys are truly multi-faceted
and more than one-hit wonders.
The second release from their
debut album has just come out.
"More Than This" is a sweet
ballad recounting middle brother Jojo's junior high breakup
and eventual reunion. The
romantic lyrics, 'I can't be
alone anymore/I know it's more
than love/Baby, I can feel
it/When I'm close to you/I
know it's more than love/Baby
do you?' are heartfelt and sentimental.
It's been a long road for LLB.
Track five titled "Hollywood"
expresses that joumey: 'I'll be
shining bright for all the world to
see/I
know
I can't
go
wrong/Because I finally found
my song/I'm headed where I
belong.' I believe they truly are.

Proctor District fits within student budget
by Jenny Sharp
staff writer
Looking for somewhere to

the best time to hit this area, as in
the summertime the Farmer's
Market is open with the fresh
flowers and homemade jam.
During their off season, the
Metropolitan Market is just around
the comer with most of the same
inventory. Their fresh flowers
have a sense of summertime written all over them with their vibrant
colors and great scents.
Of course, there is never a
shopping area without a Starbucks
and this one is hopping! With their
outdoor seating available, a warm
aftemoon enjoying a coffee drink
is very refreshing and relaxing.
There are places to chain the
dog's leash up while you're inside
ordering and tons of reading material hanging from the posts. This
is a great way to find out about
upcoming events in the area.
The Starbucks altemative in
this area is the Art & Soul Coffee
and Pottery Painting shop across
the street. This is a great little coffee bar with plush couches and a
great sitting area. Here you can
enjoy your decently priced cup of
coffee or smoothie along with a
pastry or dish of ice cream. To
accompany this relaxation is the
live music that is held various
nights ofthe week.
In the back ofthe coffee shop is
