What is carbon monoxide?
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas
that has no odor or color, making it impossible to see, taste or smell. At lower levels,
according to the agency, “CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu.”
Symptoms can include headaches, vertigo, nausea and fatigue. At higher levels, it can
kill before anyone in the residence is even aware it is present.
Federal statistics show carbon monoxide poisoning kills more than 500 people a
year. Another 15,000 victims are hospitalized each year.
Where does carbon monoxide come from?
The U.S. Fire Administration says carbon monoxide comes from many sources,
including gas-fired appliances such as furnaces and water heaters, as well as car exhaust,
charcoal grills and even wood-burning fireplaces.
How can I protect myself?
Carbon monoxide detectors are available at a wide range of discount and home
improvement stores, ranging from less than $20 to around $50 each. The U.S. Fire
Administration recommends at least one alarm installed near sleeping areas and outside
bedrooms. In addition, residents should have an annual professional inspection of all
fuel-burning appliances and chimneys.
Nagel Hall residents, it delivers LEED certification
points that helped the new residence hall earn a LEED
gold award.
Drivers who use the E lot and drive a qualifying
vehicle can register at Parking Services and Transporta-
tion, where they’ll get a “DUGreen” sticker for their
rear window. Once affixed, the sticker allows them to
park in the reserved spots. The sticker is free, but those
who park in the designated spots without a sticker face
a $30 parking ticket.
The list of approved vehicles is surprising both for
the variety of vehicles that are on it and for those that
aren’t. Someone who considers Subaru to be a “green”
minded company might expect a few models to be on
the list. They aren’t. But the list does include a number
of inexpensive models, such as the Honda Civic, Chev-
rolet Aveo, and models by Hyundai and Kia. There’s
even a Ford Ranger pickup truck (the electric motor
version).
The program is just a pilot to see if drivers re-
spond. If it’s successful, the program could be expand-
ed to parking at the new College of Education building
and possibly other lots, Knox says.

Zoee Turrill
DU will be part of Denver’s
new bike sharing project
Starting this summer, the University of Denver
will be part of a new citywide bike sharing initiative
announced Jan. 14 by Denver Mayor John Hicken-
looper and community partners.
The “Denver B-Cycle” project will distribute
500 bikes at 30–40 kiosks across the city. Most will
be in the downtown area, but thanks to efforts by
the All Undergraduate Student Association (AUSA)
and member Zoee Turrill, the DU campus is
expected to host two of the kiosks, both located
near student residence halls.
The effort will be managed by a new nonprofit,
Denver Bike Sharing, and funded with a $1 million
startup gift from the Denver 2008 Convention Host
Committee.
Although Denver is one of the first cities in the
country to launch such a comprehensive program,
Turrill says her research shows cities across Europe
have wildly successful programs. Paris, for example,
has some 1,500 kiosks and 20,000 bikes in circula-
tion.
Turrill and others on the AUSA sustainability
committee began looking for a way to encourage
bike riding last fall. She says many students she talked
with had been to Europe under DU’s Cherrington
Global Scholars program and had seen viable bike
sharing programs and wanted something similar
back home.
Under the plan — still in development — fre-
quent users will sign up for memberships; infrequent
users can use a credit card to check bikes out. Bor-
rowers swipe their card at a kiosk, which will un-
lock a bike. Riders can drop the bike off at any kiosk
in town. The bikes will be free for short, half-hour
trips, with a nominal fee for longer usage.

Restaurants lay out new welcome mats at
campus doorstep
A few new flavors are greeting students for the New Year.
Pita Jungle, a long-time fixture on the west bank of South University Boulevard, has re-
invented itself to include Indian cuisine paired with its familiar Mediterranean-style fare. The
moderately priced restaurant is now called Aroma Café and Grill. It sports a clean, classic look
and promotes a friendly atmosphere, says co-owner Asaid Ibzae.
“We wanted to change customer service and the look of the place,” Ibzae says. “Our goal
is to make the neighborhood happy.”
Aroma Café offers fresh, homemade dishes such as chicken or beef shawarma and biryani,
a rice and meat or vegetable dish with Indian spices. The restaurant will operate until 10 p.m.,
then serve food late at the Hookah café next door, a tobacco and tea Internet emporium.
Ibzae and his partners Mohamad Osmani and Raza Qasemi hope the Hookah will become
a casual drop-in destination combining exotic-flavored tobaccos with Turkish coffee and Indian
and Persian teas. They hope to have live music on weekends but will not serve alcohol.
Aroma is at 2017 S. University Blvd. near the southwest corner of Asbury Avenue. For
more information call 720-570-1900.
The lineup of places near campus with sports themes continues to expand with Univer-
sity Sports Grill, a newcomer to the 1975-era building at 2442 S. University Blvd., previously
occupied by Cherry Hills Cleaners.
The cleaners relocated to the west side of University Boulevard, giving Sports Grill
co-owners Dave Seubert and Lyle Wilson a chance to create a cozy neighborhood-style gather-
ing spot on the east bank between Harvard and Wesley avenues. The grill offers sandwiches,
burgers and Mexican fare, but its specialty is Italian, Seubert says.
The signature dish is the calzone, he says, which comes in meatball, sausage, combination
or vegetarian.
“We make everything from scratch — pasta, sauces, bread,” Seubert says.
There’s even a $7 blue-plate special that varies daily and is actually served on blue plates as
diners in the 1920s once did.
Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. daily. For information or take-out orders, call
720-920-9611.

DU takes on other universities in recycling
challenge
For the next few months, the big blue recycling bins spread across campus will give stu-
dents, faculty and staff a chance to extend the University of Denver’s friendly rivalry with Colo-
rado College.
“We are really excited about RecycleMania,” says MJ O’Malley, head of the All Undergradu-
ate Student Association’s Sustainability Committee. “It gives us another chance to beat CC.”
RecycleMania, a nationwide recycling contest between 345 universities and states, began
in mid-January and goes through March 28. The goal is to reduce waste, increase recycling and
raise awareness of DU’s growing push toward sustainability.
The contest began in 2001 as a friendly competition between Ohio and Miami universi-
ties and has grown each year as more universities across the nation strive for sustainability. The
College and University Recycling Council, which runs the annual competition, reports that 80
percent of participating institutions see an increase in recycling collection during and after the
contest.
The competition has several categories, all aimed at reducing a university’s waste stream.
Institutions win by having the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste — by collecting
the largest amount of paper, cardboard, bottles and cans in total or per person, or by producing
the least amount of solid waste.

Making history
John Carver recalls JFK inauguration

File
ooking back at Jan. 20, 1961, John Carver knew he had a good seat for a
great speech. He didn’t realize he was a witness to history.
Carver, professor emeritus at the University of Denver Sturm College of
Law, has seen a lot in his 90 years. As the nation prepared in January for Barack
Obama’s historical inauguration, Carver recalled that one particularly freezing
cold day when he was took his place on the stage as John F. Kennedy gave his
now-famous inauguration speech.
As Kennedy urged Americans to “ask not what your country can do for
you; ask what you can do for your country,” Carver was just a few feet away as
the newly named assistant secretary of the interior for the incoming Kennedy
administration.
“It’s hard to separate what you know now from what you knew then, but we
knew then — as we know now — there was something pretty special about this
candidate, John F. Kennedy, how he captured the crowds,” Carver says. “I heard
the speech as everybody else did. Whether I knew that we’d be talking about it 50
years later, I doubt. But I knew it was more than just a passing speech.”
Carver, who earned a law degree from Georgetown University in 1947, had
worked in private practice and served as assistant attorney general for the state
of Idaho and as an administrative assistant to U.S. Sen. Frank Church of Idaho
before he was recruited to head the Kennedy campaign in Michigan.
“They asked me what I knew about Michigan. I told them nothing,” Carver
recalls. “They said, ‘You’re perfect.’ They didn’t want any problems in what was a
very divided party at the time.”
Carver recalls his time in the campaign and the busy days leading up to
the post-election transition from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Kennedy in a video
produced with law Professor Don Smith. Carver and Smith have been working on a series of video presentations, uploaded to the Internet,
that offers a first-person account of history. “After that long [election] night when we were waiting on results from Michigan and Illinois
to come in, and Kennedy had his squeaky, squeaky victory, it wasn’t but a few days after that there was a transition from campaign mode
to transition mode,” Carver says on the video. “A sudden realization hit everyone that now that he was elected, he had to do something to
get prepared for running the country.”
Carver says there may be some similarities between Kennedy’s election and the election of Obama. Both represent times of great
transition. And in both cases, Carver says there is a national sense of anticipation and great expectation.
But the transition itself, he says, is likely very different. Back in 1960 and 1961, things were less formal. Background checks weren’t
as strict and political appointments were handled on a personal basis, with jobs assembled in what was called the “Plum Book.” Today’s
transition team likely has to deal with many, many more positions and many times the number of applicants, all facing strict and lengthy
vetting.
Carver recalls the 1961 transition vividly, rattling off the names of those considered for key posts in the new administration. And he
remembers renting a tuxedo for the inaugural ball the night before the big day, only to be shut in, unable to attend, by a howling snowstorm
that paralyzed the city. As for inauguration day, Carver sat on the stage behind the president, enduring a dreadfully long benediction,
watching poet laureate Robert Frost fumble with his papers in a bitter cold wind, and then, Kennedy’s speech.
“I remember it was a moving, inspiring kind of thing,” Carver says in his video recollection.
Eventually, Carver ended up as assistant secretary of the interior for public land management. In 1965, under President Johnson, he
was promoted to under secretary of the interior, and in 1966 he accepted a post as commissioner on the Federal Power Commission, where
he served until 1972, leaving to teach at the University of Denver.
His papers are now part of the collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and museum in Boston.

Alumnus is therapist turned tea master
In 2000, Greg Fellman (MSW ’98) had been serving as a therapist to sex offenders

Wayne Armstrong
for two years when he hit burnout.
“I wanted to get as far away from sex offenders as possible,” he says.
In March 2001, Fellman moved to China, where he began teaching English to adults.
While there, he honed his practice of tai chi, an ancient meditative exercise, which in turn
led him to discover a new passion: tea.
“We practiced martial arts, drank tea, practiced, drank tea,” he says. “It became a
part of my lifestyle.”
It helped that Fellman was living in Hangzhou, a city outside Shanghai that is famous
for its Dragonwell green tea.
After two years in China, Fellman returned and opened his own psychotherapy clinic,
but he continued to study tea. He ordered rare leaves from China and stayed on top of
the industry by reading and talking to tea aficionados.
Then, last year, he took a tea leap-of-faith. He opened Seven Cups Denver Chinese
Teas at 1882 South Pearl St. He says he’s been thrilled with the community response.
“Tea lovers, the real aficionados, are finding me,” says Fellman. “For example, Puer
tea is not really well known outside of China, but I have people coming in and asking for
it.”
Colleen Attoma-Mathews (MSW ’98) has known Fellman for 12 years and says this
new business makes sense for him on many levels.
“Greg is a definitely a people person,” she says. “He’s very social and very good at
introducing new things to people. The tea house is a nice culmination of who Greg is.”
Seven Cups is a traditional Chinese tea house and carries Oolong, green, Puer,
white, black and scented Chinese teas. Fellman holds free tea tastings every Friday at
3 p.m., including traditional tea ceremonies.
He says that one of his goals in opening the shop was to educate the public about
high-quality Chinese teas.
“Denver doesn’t have anything like this,” he says. “We think of ourselves as a multicul-
tural city, a big city, but we’re missing out if we don’t experience teas and places like this.”

Professor tells history of pizza in new book

Although Carol Helstosky’s father ran the neighborhood restaurant when she was a child in Connecticut, she doesn’t
consider herself a foodie. Yet somehow the associate professor of history at DU wrote the third book in Reaktion Books’ the
Edible Series, Pizza: A Global History.
“I grew up around a restaurant culture and so food always meant something more than food. It told me about people
and places and life,” Helstosky says. “I did not, however, learn to cook like a gourmet!”
In fact, the professor of 19th and 20th century European history wasn’t sure what to say when she was approached
about writing the book, since it isn’t her background.
“It became a really fun project, taking a food and seeing how it goes global,” she says.
Helstosky found that while pizza originated in Naples, Italy, the food was widely popularized in America. In fact, she
found Americans eat nearly 100 acres of pizza each day!
“In America it became a standardized food that offered great comfort; people knew what to expect,” she says. “Both
main chains of standardized pizza, Dominos and Pizza Hut, were started in the Midwest by non-Italians.”
Helstosky says the great thing about pizza is that it can be a gourmet food or a common meal. Either way, she learned
that people are passionate about their favorite pizza.
In addition to following pizza’s roots in Italy to its standardization in America, Helstosky follows pizza across the world.
She found that in many countries, pizza isn’t promoted as an Italian food. Advertisements for Pizza Hut in Poland display an
Indian woman peddling pizza.
Series editor Adam Smith, who authored the first book, Hamburger, is planning many more.
“Each book provides an outline for one type of food or drink, revealing its history and culture on a global scale,” Smith
says.
Pie, Hot Dog, Lobster and Beer are already in the works.

 Immigration issue is subject of
DU panel probe
As a University of Denver panel began its yearlong
study of immigration, experts warned panel members of
the difficulty they face crafting policies that are more practical
than political.
“I think the dishonesty about this issue is killing us,” said
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid. “Let’s just grow up on this issue.”
The panel, part of the University’s Strategic Issues Pro-
gram (SIP), heard Jan. 7 from immigration author and Yale
law Professor Peter Schuck. On Jan. 8, panel members heard
presentations by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers,
Eid and local immigration attorney Ann Allott.
The panel will hear from more than 30 local and na-
tional immigration experts this spring before deliberating this
summer to form a consensus on immigration policy reform.
A final report is expected before the end of the year.
There are at least 12 million illegal immigrants in the
U.S. and more than 200,000 entering each year, said Schuck,
a nationally recognized immigration expert. He told panel
members that there was no way to stop the influx of people
entering the country illegally and that efforts to enforce
immigration laws have been sporadic and ineffective.
Suthers said immigration is a federal issue with serious
impacts on state and local government. Colorado’s state and
county criminal justice systems spend about $80 million a
year prosecuting and jailing criminals from outside the U.S.,
he said. The majority of cases, he said, come from Mexican
drug cartels and criminals reentering the U.S. multiple times.
He called for greater border security, a reasonable guest
worker program and implementation of a national identifica-
tion card to track illegal aliens.

Scholar award winner sets sights
on human rights
Micheline Ishay gets thank you notes
from people living in war zones.
“They write me for having inspired
them. There is nothing more rewarding than
that,” says Ishay, a professor in the Josef Kor-
bel School of International Studies.
She’s also the winner of the 2007–08
Distinguished Scholar Award, given
annually by the University of Denver for
significant achievement in scholarship through
publications and classroom teaching.
One reason for the award is her book, The History of Human Rights: From Ancient
Times to the Era of Globalization (University of California Press, 2004), which is used
widely in universities around the globe.
“It’s exciting to see the book translated into languages I will never be able to read,”
she says. “Yet the most heartwarming feeling is when the people living in war zones or
under repressive regimes write to thank me,” she says.
She says her interest in human rights can be traced to her upbringing. She grew up
in Israel and says the “relentless conflicting national aspirations of two peoples” strength-
ened her human rights worldview.
Later, she studied at the European School in Germany and Belgium, where she
says she learned of a “new Europe,” one of integration “that would transcend the rival
nationalisms” that had culminated in two world wars. “That experience further deep-
ened my understanding of universal values,” she says.
Korbel School Dean Tom Farer says Ishay helps make the Josef Korbel School
“arguably the leader in human rights studies among all of the country’s professional
schools of international affairs.”
How hopeful is she that nations can improve human rights?
“It would be foolish not to feel some trepidation born of past tragedy. At the same
time, we need to be guided by optimism based on the reality of enormous progress in
the effort to advance universal human rights. On balance, I am an optimist.”

Battery-powered vehicles help campus safety patrol,

save money
Campus Safety is trying to save some green and go green, purchasing two battery-powered
vehicles in lieu of new patrol cars.
The T3-model vehicles have been in use since late November.
T3s come with two rechargeable batteries, each of which last for an eight-hour shift and
take three to four hours to recharge, according to Parking Enforcement Officer Chris Meyer.
Campus Safety has set them to a maximum speed of 12 mph.
The initial investment, at about $11,000 per vehicle, was less than two-thirds the price of
purchasing two traditional patrol vehicles, says Don Enloe, head of Campus Safety. Each costs
about 20 cents per day to operate, compared to the $25 per day average fuel cost for a single
patrol vehicle. After two years of service, Enloe says, the T3s will pay for themselves through
savings in fuel costs alone.
Aside from clean-energy and cost-efficiency, T3 models have a number of advantages over
other clean-energy vehicles, Enloe says. T3s come equipped with warning lights, sirens and a
raised platform that affords the operator greater visibility. Additionally, the three-wheeled T3

provides greater stability than a two-wheeled Segway, and the T3’s zero-degree turn radius
makes it more maneuverable than a golf cart.
