two Boise State studentsinvolved in a service-learningproject with the Snake RiverAlliance Idahos NuclearWatchdog spent spring breaklobbying for nuclear wasteissues in the nations capitol

The Snake River Alliancesent 13 people to DC for their14th annual DC Days anevent organized by the Alliancefor Nuclear Accountability

The ANA is an umbrellaorganization for 27 groupsnationwide that deal withnuclear issues includingweapons energy and wastecleanup Themiddot Snake RiverAlliance deals mainly thecleanup of waste stored at sitessuch as the Idaho NationalEngineering and EnvironmentalLaboratory

The purpose Of D~ Daysis to train groups of citizen lob-byists and give them the oppor-tunity to voice their concernsand ideas to members of USCongress as well as administra-tive members of the Departmentof Defense and the Departmentof Energy

sate the state for the restorationand reparation of the area locat-ed in Bay Ilque 35 miles fromthe city of Puerto Montt

Boise Corporation appealedthe courts decision March 26 on the grounds that the disturbancewas unintentional and too minorto be legally tried under Chileanlaw

Boise Corporation bought thesite for the establishment of aplant to manufacture pine pan-els Boise Cascade BuildingSolutions CommunicationManager Doug Bartels said theplant was never built becauseafter the purchase of the land thecompanys competitors expand-ed their supply of the product

According to Bartels theCascada Chile Project came to astop primarily because the com-pany was concerned about over-supply of pine panels Bartelssaid another factor in stopping

However some participantsof the ANA lobbying confer-ence felt as if their message wasJailing on deaf ears in the face ofwar with Iraq

The event began with anintensive training ses-sion in lobbyingnuclear waste issuesParticipants spentmost of their time ingroups of four to sixdelegates at 72 sepa-rate meetings withcongressmen con-gressional aides andmembers of the DODand DOE

Anneliese Scholza BSU freshman con-sidering an environ-mental studies degreesaid the timing of theevent was good evenifthe results were dis-couraging She saidthe meetings arescheduled so the

ANA has a chance todiscuss nuclear issueswith key figures before the bud-get for the next year goes intodiscussion

This was the perfect time for us to be there whispering in

the operation was the litigationover the destruction of shellfragments containing archeolog-ical value

There was a couple of envi-ronmental organizations thatwere very strident in their effortsto stop the operation - they didnot achieve their aims becausethe joint governments that want-ed the project to go forward andprovided the permits - but theiractivities did not encourage us tolocate there but they were only asecondary reason as to why wedidnt proceed Bartels said

Theres no basis for legalaction By the Chilean law thenature of this damage wouldhave to be intentional and it cer-tainly was not

A federal environmentalagency required BoiseCorporation to conduct a geot-echnical survey during the per-mit process According to

their ears this needs tostopped especially with thenuclear weapons proliferationissues developing right nowshe said

Scholz said the meetings

were disheartening for the mostpart

It depended-on who wewere meeting with TheRepublic~s were mostly nega-

and government authorities haveconstantly supported the projectusing their political influenceand positions to approve theproject without revising thetechnical reports by publicservices academics and univer-sity scientists who have shownconcrete reasons to reject itFierro said

Geoaustral maintains thatCascada Chile still owns severalproperties in the Bay of I1queand maintains control over otherproperties leased directly fromthe Chilean government Thiscontradicts statements made byBartels who said that his compa-ny does not have any other prop-erty in Chile and no interest incontinuing the project

When this litigation is final-ly been resolved well decidewhat to do with it but likelywell put it forth for saleBartels said

Bartels Boise Corporation hadto build a temporary road inorder to do the survey

Bartels said the project washalted when a tractor operatordiscovered an unusual numberof broken shell fragments andthen notified authorities

The disturbance was just atractor just the width of itsblade it was less than a hundredyards Id say about 80-90 yardsand less than a meter deepThats what it amounted to theoperator didnt know there wasanything there with archeologi-cal value Bartels said

In September of 1998Geoaustral an environmentalorganization in Chile filed alawsuit against the projectsowner for $800000 in archeo-logical and environmental dam-age to the site The Second Courtof First Instance of Puerto Monttaccepted the complaint titled

tive Their meetings with uswere a courtesy and they didnteven bother to take notesSholz said

Most ofthe Democrats werecompletely in support of our

message but said that since theyare not currently in power theyreally couldnt do anythingMost said in one way or anoth-er that the way the country feels

Reparation and Compensationrepresented by the ChileanDefense Council Judge SilvaOpazo sanctioned BoiseCorporation for $200000 inreparations to the site

The sanction is the largesteconomic fine imposed on acompany for destroying archeo-logical heritage and the environ-ment in Chile The decision fol-lows the repeal of BoiseCorporations rights to thebeach sea floor and part of thewater for the port of embarka-tion issued by Chiles Board ofMaritime Territory on July 31200 I for failure to comply withthe contract

Geoaustral Tourism andEnvironmental ConsultantMauricio Fierro said there havebeen a series of irregularities inthe Icgal processes for the pro-jects approval

Not only that but politicians

right now our issues couldntreally be advanced even if theycould be addressed

Maria Andrade a Boiseattorney specializing in immi-gration issues and fair housing

practice echoed Scholzssentiments Andrade saidshe met with Sen LarryCraig in person but hermost important meetingwas with DonovanRobinson budget direc-tor for the DOERobinson is responsiblefor the cleanup budgetfor installations such asthe INEEL Andrade saidshe believed he would bemore responsive to themessage she carried

Its so hard to trackexactly where all themoney budgeted fornuclear waste cleanupgoes she said

There have beeninstances where themoney listed for cleanupwent to parking lot

improvements and new drinkingfountains

Andrade asked that new lineitems be entered into the budgetto track raw waste cleanup

It seemed very consistentthroughout the meetings Iattended that no one wanted torock the boat even if they-agreed with our agendaAndrade said they asked Craigto call Robinson and offer aidand support in creating the lineitem proposal but Craig wouldnot commit to calling Robinsonor other DOE officials

Andrade said she felt as ifshe wasnt engaging in mean-ingful conversation with thecongressmen andadministrators

Students interested in sup-

ing students that hope toobtain employment in largecorporations that have poli-cies emphasizing culturalawareness

It would enhance every-ones academic career if itwas required for everyone totake a class that emphasized anon-dominant perspectiveReyes said

Nearly 85 percent of uni-versities in the United Statesrequire diversity curriculumaccording to some estimates

According to RobertMcCarl BSU professor ofanthropology those involvedin the process hope to finishthe proposal before the com-mittee meets in early Aprilthe proposal would then go tothe faculty senate for a vote

The more exposure youhave to diversity issues thebetter off youre going to be

tor of diversity affairs and asponsor of a student petitionin support of the proposalsaid the perception in the pasthas been that exposure tomulti-cultural studies wasbetter suited for studentsgoing into social servicecareers

With the rise of global-ism where we as a world areso interconnected its veryimportant to know and under-stand each other regardless ifyou are an engineer middotor socialworker Reyes said

Some members of the CoreCurriculum Committee eit-ing the argument that stu-dents may not want to enrollin such classes haveexpressed opposition to theproposed requirement

Reyes said exposure tomulti-cultural perspectiveswould be an asset to graduat-

ate students to complete onethree-credit course that quali-fies as a diversity class butwould not lengthen therequirements to obtain adegree

To qualify as a diversitycourse a class would have toamong other considerationsplace cultural practices in acomparative framework thatdoes not privilege a singlecultural perspective

Vietnam to IraqStudent protests have changed

Dunn Meadow after the invasion of CambodiaIt is a very divided campus he said We think it

is best that students voice their opinions through theirown means

And with thousands of protesters willing to marchParker said the activism in Bloomington duringVietnam was not limited to one group of people

There was a wide cross-section of students andpeople in Bloomington not just radical students orhippies Parker said

But Gass notes that even within groups that wouldnormally protest the war the lines are blurred when itcomes to deciding on the war in Iraq

1 think it is a lot less black ana white today hesaid We were attacked and that changes everything

Parker said heagrees the threat ofterrorism definitelysets this war apartfrom Vietnam

We did not havete worry aboutVietnamese terror-ists he said

Another majordifference betweenthe anti-war proteststoday and those thathappened more than30 years ago is thetime frame in whichthe protests tookplace The demon-strations Parker par-ticipated in occurredat the height of themovement whichreached its peak afterthe United States hadbeen involved withthe conflict for morethan five years

Here you haveenormous oppositionto the war before itbegan Parker said

Internationalprotest against thewar also sets thispeace movementapart from theVietnam protestsToday millions ofpeople across theglobe have floodedthe streets of majorcities to express theiropposition to theBush administra-

A former Florida State student from Orlando weeps as she tions decision to useprotests war with Iraq force in Iraq

Gass said the current administration reminds him ofthe administration during Vietnam

We have another president who doesnt care ifhefights a war with or WIthoutthe people he said

But even though IU students are not protesting likethey used to there are still some like the students whomake up the Coalition to Oppose the War in Iraq thatare working to keep the fire of optlOsitionalive

I think in general if you live m a democracy partof that is taking an active role in the decisions that arebeing made in your name COWl member LaurenTaylor said It ISreally important that people on thiscampus be vocal about how they feel aboutthe war

From page 1The issues back in the 60s and 70s had the poten-

tial to affect everybody former student body presi-dent Paul Helmke said More and more people werebeing drafted

Helmke points to the draft as one of the reasons thatstudents might have been more vocal during theVietnam conflict

Current IU Student Association Vice PresidentJudd Arnold said the draft is probably the primary rea-son why students today are not protesting in the samenumbers they once were

I know a lot of people in my Dads generation thatwere in college to avoid the war Arnold said

Helmke also said that many of theissues surrounding thewar in Iraq are seen asaffecting only a smallgroup of people andthus do not draw thesame kind of reaction

During theVietnam conflict stu-dent leaders werehighly involved in theopposition move-ment Theyen submitteddemands to theUniversity askingamong other thingsthat it denounceAmerican involve-ment in SoutheastAsia They also askedthe University to com-mit to minorityrecruitment in order tomake the racial make-up of the student bodymore representative ofthe racial makeup ofIndiana

The University didnot submit to thedemands although itdid make a commit-ment to minorityrecruitment To thisday it is working toattract minority stu-dents but the percent-ages still do not reflectIndiana population

Whereas currentlUSA leaders recentlydeclined to take aposition on the warHelmke believes thatstudent govemmentshould not be afraid totake a position during times of conflict he said

I think it is appropriate to take positions on thingslike that Helmke said Sometimes the only way tohelp influence people is to join with others in speakingout it doesnt need to be a unanimous position

He said when he was student bodypresident stu-dents often held more than one position when they gottogether for large rallies or meetings

Arnold said if the student position on the war wasas apparent now as it was during Vietnam IUSAwould have no problem coming up with a resolution about the war There ISa large difference between the500 signatures collected by the Coalition to Oppose theWar in Iraq and the 10000 students that protested in

Mike Clifford for ASBSU PresidentChris Wirshing for ASBSU Vice President

Accountability for student leaders is our number one concern

As the only candidates not in the Senate wefeel we can hold the student leaders accountablewith out any biases that the other candidatesposses toward their comrades

The job of a student govemment is to repre-sent the students The way ASBSU is currentlyrun is not effective What is needed in ASBSUis a little common sense and that is what webring to the table

With zero support from the Senate the pres-idents office at ASBSU has done its best to rep-resent students at the state house and in theeommunity as a whole The senate has wastedtime with resolutions that accomplish very little

The senate should spend at least one of itsmeetings every month at the statehouse show-ing support for our fiscal needs We feel that itlooks better to have a group of representatives atthe state house and in the community asapposed to a few dedicated individuals

Programs like Book Swap and keeping thelibrary open for 24 hours during finals are pro-grams that should continue and have added sup-port We also intend to continue efforts that thecurrent president has helped with such as lob-bying at the state house and bringing the USAToday onto campus

One area we would like to change aboutASBSU is the structure for giving student orga-

nizations funding As presidents of studentorganizations here on campus we understandthe challenges of getting funding from ASBSU

Since sports clubs and ethnic organizationsprovide a great service to the campus throughcultural awareness activities and different sport-ing events that they should have easier access tofunds to easier facilitate these events Other stu-dent organizations should have easier access toadditional funds for trips and extra on-campusevents that they had not budgeted Chris Wirshing is a member of the AirNational guard and realizes the difficulty in get-ting funding from the government If electedwe would like to see what we would be able todo to simplify this process

The current open door policy of the ASBSUpresidents office is a great concept and wewould like to see it continued with a few revi-sions Instead of waiting for the students tocome to us with problems we find it necessaryto go to them and see what it is they want fromus

Once in office we would implement a plan togo to student organizations and hold openforums for students at large to voice their con-cerns and needs student government mightapproaeh

Jim Sherman for ASBSU PresidentJenifer Scott for ASBSU Vice President

Vote for Effective Student Leadership April 9 and 10

Rather than fill this page with unimpressivecampaign ramblings well keep this simple andlet our platform speak for itself

Through voter registration drives intenselobbying efforts (both on and off campus) andinformational nonpartisan meetings we willapply pressure to legislators

Boise State is a vastly underestimated foreeto be reckoned with 17000 plus students strongImagine the influence 17000 well-informedstudents could have on the formation of thestate budget

We recognize and greatly appreciate the sig-nificant contributions made to the student bodyand the community by the Cultural Womensand other service centers

It is our intention if elected to help fundtheir operations in our next years budget as away to ensure continued benefit of their eventsand services by students

Also the numbers of students enrolled full-time at Boise States satellite campuses is con-tinuing to grow If elected we will implement aplan so that as their numbers reach 3000 plusenrollees they will be represented in studentgovernment This plan will include the reserva-tion of a scat in ASBSU Senate so that thosecampuses will have the opportunity to partici-pate in issues that affect them

ASBSU

To sum it up Why vote Sherman and ScottBecause effective student leadership is our aimEffective student leaders are determined highlymotivated and most importantly connected tothe students Often the only time students actu-ally see their ASBSU representatives is aroundelections

It is time to close the Wheres Waldo bookof student leadership and focus on accessibilityIf student leaders were accessible they would-nt need a sweatshirt to be picked out of thecrowd

ASBSU has always had an open-door policyallowing students to come to them with theirconcerns Thats great but effective studentleaders would go to the students also and notsimply expect students to find them Jenifer andI have one purpose To lead Boise State throughthis difficult time of budget cutbacks with apositive proactive attitude while making our-selves available to students

A vote for Sherman and Scott is a vote forcontinued and additional support for theWomens Cultural and other service centerscontinued efforts to make higher educationequal-per-student funding and other studentinterests priorities in the Statehouse initiation ofincreased leadership interaction with studentsand representation for satellite campuses

Ramiro Castro for ASBSU Senator

Hello I would like to represent you I amthe Boy Scout-type

I have experience working with littleresources and able bodies

I adjusted and made dueI would like to also say that I do believe in

my heart what I plan for my fellow brothersand sisters in green My proposed steps comefrom a sincere desire to thank and constantlyacknowledge their sacrifices

I have been in this institution since Fall2002 In that time I have taken note of a fewthing~ and now see an opportunity to better theexpenence for you I ate at the Table Rock Ienjoyed the entertainment of the televisionmaybe it should make more appearances I eatdownstairs in the SUB why is there a wobblytable

I have served with Bronco Vision and Ihave learned two things One when you beamthat-camera on someone you make their dayexposing thern on the big screen Also thatwatching a game from the sidelines is the onlyway to go

My point being that maybe one lucky fan

can get a sideline pass A free raffle would bethe way I would set it up My platform camefrom my ~oughts and those of the peoplewhose opmion 1respect

I stand forI Applied technology students should

have the time to complete labs through extralab time hours A tutor already paid for canshift from the tutor room to the needed lab Sono increase in fees would be necessary for thisadditional service Applied TechnologyStudents would benefit from a coffeemachine also no added cost

2 I personally support all our troops So Iwould support and seek events hononng theirdedication to duty

3 Reduction 10 funding should not mean areduction in the quality of schooling providedby Boise State Along with that increased feesshould reflect in the quality of education andservices

4 I endorse reduction in costs for servicest~ military personnel for example militarydiscounts

5 Parking in front of some Boise State

buildings are subject to the I-hour residentialparking There are limited legal spaces avail-able for students without a parking permit touse If the space is in front of a school build-ing it should be unlimited time

6 Increased services and quality of exist-ing services supporting non-traditional stu-dents Tor example single parents studentswith families women older students interna-tional students and minorities

These added services should be kept rea-sonable and every attempt to better the ser-vices should be looked at thoroughly to keepfees down See point No3 There arc smartmen and women in this coIlege and I am pos-itive that somebody can think of a better andcheaper way of conducting business

For example having more students doingwork that is related to their field and gettingcredit This helps the school have an extrabody providing a service and the students gainexpenence Thank you for taking the time toread my platform

Call this the Far-FetchedFour

If you had MarquetteKansas Syracuse and Texas inyour office bracket you donteven have to watch the FinalFour semifinals Saturday nightYou won already

For the rest of us heres aquartet hardly anyone sawcoming And they are cominghard having knocked off threeNo I seeds and won theirregional finals this weekend byan average of 105points

All four No I seeds enteredthe weekend still eligible forNew Orleans But only Texasgets to sample Bourbon Street

Supposed juggernautsKentucky Arizona andOklahoma got upset during theweekend leaving this FinalFour as wide open as an inter-state highway at 3 am

Its also a weird Final Fourfor folks with an ACC connec-tion For the past six years and14 of the past 15 - until thisseason - the ACC has placed ateam in the Final Four

This year the league could-nt even place a team into theElite Eight The conference hadboasted at least one Elite Eightteam every year since 1980

So is this a Forgettable Fouras well

It is if you just care aboutthe ACC After the nationalchampionshipswon by Duke in2001 and Maryland in 2002the trophy will leave the leaguein 2003

Duke and Maryland werebeaten in the Sweet 16 WakeForest flamed oat in the secondround and NC State was oneand done

North Carolina has its tan-gled connection to Kansascoach Roy Williams - a con-nection that might strengthen

dramatically - but thats itClemson can only pine for RickBames

If youre a fan of collegebasketball however theresgreat potential here

These four teams are hardlyunknowns this season Texaswas ranked No 5 in the finalpre-tournament AssociatedPress poll followed by No 6Kansas No II Marquette andNo 12 Syracuse

They all boast at least onedazzling player MarquettesDwyane Wade produced aspectacular triple-doubleagainst Kentucky that led to an83-69 win

Kansas a No 2 seed has apair of senior stars in centerNick Collison and guard KirkHinrich Both played one won-derful game and one dud inAnaheim Calif and luckilytimed their bad games so theydidnt occur at the same time

Hinrich hit for 28 points inthe only regional final that wasclose Kansas 78-75 win overArizona

Syracuse (like Marquette aNo 3 seed) boasts freshmanCarmelo Anthony who scored20 points as- the Orangemenroughed up Oklahoma 63-47 inthe early game Sunday

And Texas has point guardTJ Ford who keyed theLonghorns 85-76 win overMichigan State Sunday byusing a final gear faster thanhigh-speed Internet access

Questions aboundWill Williams win his first

national championship atKansas and then leave the statein his rear-view mirror on hisway to either Chapel Hill orLos Angeles to take anotherjob

Will Barnes win a nationalchampionship at Texas beforeMack Brown does

Can Syracuses masterful 2-3 zone defense stop Ford

Knight sounds off on NCAAcommittee

I

By Jan HubbardThe Dallas Morning News ---

The long-running Broadway hitLes Miserables is playing at theImperial Theater which is only abouttwo basketball courts away from theMarriott Marquis On Monday theMarquis played host to the latest pro-duction of The Bob Knight Showwhich was entertaining as long as youwerent a member of the NCAATournament selection committee oth-erwise known in Knights world as~TheMiserables

Texas Tech has won three games toadvance to the semifinals of theNational Invitation Tournament

Knight did not suggest that the finalfour teams in the NIT were as good asthose in the Final Four but he emphat-ically made the point that the quality ofmany teams participating in the NITwas better than that of several NCAATournament teams

There are 20 teams in the NIT atthe minimum that can beat 20 teams in

the NCAA Knight said I dont thinkanybody in basketball would ever dis-

agree with thatKnight was merely warming up He

may have been in the heart of the the-ater district but his routine was moreDavid Letterman monologue thanBroadway Knight knew his audienceand he played to it pointing out thatNCAA headquarters was once inKansas City and then moved toIndianapolis - neither of which asNew York reporters on hand certainlyknew is as sophisticated and urbane asNew York

Fast pitchsoftballwinds up lornew seasonBy Tanya DobsonThe Arbiter ------

Kristen Salo had one desireher freshman year at BoiseState She wanted to playsoftball Not knowing whatthe university had to offer shecalled the Rec Center forinformation about BoiseStates fast-pitch club softballteam

A year later Salo is cur-rently leading the team as co-captain

Its (playing) one of thosethings you dont want to quitdoing Salo said

The Boise State womensfast-pitch team formed in thespring of 2000 and has provento be an asset to Boise Stateathletics This is shownthrough their hard work anddedication to the sport to startand develop the team

A bunch of players gottogether and decided theywanted to play ball and wentto ASBSU to get fundingsenior co-captain Katie Danesaid

Once approved as a clubsport by ASBSU the teambegan fundraising for addi-tional support Each memberalso pays fees at the beginningof the year and provides forsome of their own travelingexpenses which differs fromvarsity sports where playershave no fees

These athletes play for thelove of the sport and hope thatone day fast-pitch softball willbe recognized on a varsitylevel at Boise State

Were getting more com-petitive every year and oneday hope to be a varsitysport Dane said

So far this year the team isundefeated with 3-0 record

In their double headerBoise State crushed WallaWalla 12-6 in the first gameand 5-4 in the second All oftheir home games are playedat Fort Boise and they holdpractice at various fields dueto BOise State lacking a fieldof its own Although the teamremains hopeful that somedaythe field behind the StudentUnion Buitding will be avail-able for them to use

The fast-pitch softball teambegan practice at the end ofJanuary preparing for theirfirst game in $e middle ofMarch with 17 players on theteam this year The team will be travelingthe next few weeks and returnhome to take on both IdahoState and College of SouthernIdaho IApril 19 starting at 1pm at Fort Boise

We would really like thefan support Dane said

They will end their seasonwith a tournament at SkyviewHigh School in Nampa on May 2 and 3

Bobby Knight in a typical tirade

For as long as I have been incoaching I have never been for a com-mittee selecting the NCAATournament Knight said

I think it should all be done elec-tronically I dont think anybodyshould have an exemption I think itshould be the first 64 teams picked (bya computer) Thats it And then theyplay according to their spots And Ivealways felt that way But the way itsset up now it provides the NIT withsome really good basketball teamsevery year

What the NIT committee has doneto sustain the tournament has just beena tremendous help to college basketball-this tournament and the preseasonNIT I would have liked to see theNCAA when the preseason NIT wasannounced Somebody sitting at a tablesaying Why didnt we think ofthat Theyre always a step or twobehind the NIT people when it comesto thinking about good things for bas-ketball he said

Knight noted that even as theNCAA increased thenumber of teamsit invited the NIT never backed down

In 1978 the NCAA Tournamentconsisted of 32 teams and the NIT had16

By 1980the NCAA had grown to48 teams but the NIT responded byincreasing its field to 32 teams

The NCAA has tried to eliminatethe NIT for 50 years Knight saidand theyre not smart enough tounderstand that a bunch of people inKansas City cant outsmart people inNew York Theyve never figured that

out Or Indianapolis or wherever

If you look at all the tournamentcommittees that have been togetherover the years there are a lot of peoplethat know nothing about basketball onthe committee Rarely are there formercoaches There are people on it thathave no basketball background at all

Knight was congenial and coopera-tive with the media telling stories ofbringing his Army and Indiana teamsto the NIT and demonstrating hisknowledge of NIT history by inform-ing reporters that the first championwas Temple in 1938

The opening act was well receivedand Knight still has a few more days intown Who knows Before he leaveshe may have time for a Top Ten listMembers of the NCAA selection com-mittee have to be looking forward tothat

The albums release date waspushed back from July toOctober until its final release onMarch 18 but the additional timethe band spent working on thealbum proved to be beneficialThe title track which is also thealbums first single and otherkey songs wouldnt have beenincluded on the album if it wasreleased on time bassist Mawk(Mark Young) said

With the release of Blackout(hed)pe appears to be a band inthe midst of an evolution

I approached my songwrit-

ing from a song point-of-viewrather than how good does mybass line sound So we reallymade a conscious effort to be bet-ter songwriters rather than beingself-indulgent because withmusicians its really easy to beself-indulgent Mawk Said

But Blackout already appearsto have some success in store for(hed)pe Rather than releasingone single like their previousalbum the band is planning to

release several singles fromBlackout

The single that wevereleased is doing really good sofar Its getting a lot of airplayand were gettmg asked to do alot of radio shows around thecountry which we really didntget last time Mawk said

Although (hed)pe hasremained largely undergroundsince their inception in 1994they haveestabhshed a devotedfan base along the way The bandhasnt yet seen commercial suc-cess but they have endured amusic scene in which manybands have fizzled out faster thanyou can say one-hit wonder
