Volunteer shovelers gear
up for snow time
Handicapped and elderly residents near
campus will be getting a helping hand this winter
when the snow flies and the wind howls.

A brigade of volunteer snow-shovelers
has been formed to make sure neighbors who
need help hefting snow and ice receive it free
of charge. The effort is a service of University
Neighbors, a registered neighborhood organi-
zation whose boundaries extend from Univer-
sity Boulevard to Downing Street and Buchtel
Boulevard south to Yale Avenue.
“There has been a lot of informal, good
neighbor snow-shoveling going on, but we
want to expand that,” said University Neighbors
President Liz Ullman.
 

So far about 25 shovelers have been
enlisted but more are being sought. Ullman
estimates that some 100 households could use
assistance from the nearly 2,000 households in
the target area.
Volunteer shovelers or residents in need
of shoveling help should sign up by calling
303-722-1424 or by e-mailing Christy@

DU professor’s work shown in Times Square
Christopher Coleman, assistant professor of digital media studies (DMS) at the
University of Denver, says he wants to show his animations to as many people as possible.
On Dec. 17, one of his videos was shown in one of the world’s most visible stages,
New York’s Times Square.
It was part of his reward — along with $20,000 — as the grand prize winner of
the Babelgum Metropolis art competition. A four-judge panel selected his animation “The
Magnitude of the Continental Divide” from more than 450 video entries.
“Coleman’s winning piece is digital graffiti that plays into the graphic style of socio-
political concepts of 21st Century-style street graffiti, almost animated aerosol if you will,”
says contest judge Lee Wells. “All of his work is impressive and this work suits the digital
screen medium better than any other of the 450-plus entries.”
The video is part of a series, called Modern Times, Coleman started in 2002 after he
received a terrorism preparation pamphlet. Coleman was struck by how everyday threats to
fear as a terrorist attack.
After creating the series, he built on the idea by exploring how those fears play out
in nations. “The Magnitude of the Continental Divide” portrays people who have little or
no interaction with people of other nations but make warfare decisions based on their
impersonal impressions.

Lawrence Argent’s latest art exhibit is on display in Vail, Colo., until it melts.
Argent, a DU art professor, and Scott Rella, a Vail-based artist, have created
seven ice sculptures along Gore Creek Promenade in Vail Village. The exhibit is
titled “are you listening….”
Argent is known for I See What You Mean — a blue bear sculpture outside
the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Argent has developed a style that
includes sculpting larger-than-life figures. He is taking a similar approach in Vail
by creating renderings of the human ear that stand more than six feet tall. The
sculptures are illuminated at night with energy-efficient LED lighting.
Argent says he is exploring the pathways of listening with the ice sculptures.
The art exhibit is part of Vail’s Triumph Winterfest.

 Sacrif(ice)
Figure skating pair sacrifice for a life on the ice

L isa Moore and Justin Gaumond compare their relationship to a marriage. They spend more time with each other than anyone else, they
are completely committed and they have a trust that’s unmatched — which is a must considering Gaumond often flings and flips Moore
up in the air while gliding across a sheet of ice.
Moore, a 19-year-old DU student, and Gaumond, a DU alum, make up a successful figure skating pair that has been together for five
years. They partnered when Gaumond was studying at DU and Moore was in high school in Fort Collins, Colo.
“Pairs has a sense of danger to it that is absent in the other disciplines,” says Gaumond (BA theater ’07). Plus, it means you aren’t alone
on the ice, he adds.
“We have to see each other on the ice every day, travel to competitions and practices often and make decisions as a team,” says Moore,
a sophomore biology major. “We are good friends on and off the ice, and we
compliment each other nicely as a team.”
And like most teams, they must agree on the things that will lead to
success. For instance, they both agree skating is their first priority even if it
means making sacrifices to achieve their goals.
Gaumond, 24, has to hold a series of part-time jobs — including a
skating instructor and security guard — to arrange his hours around ice
time. A full-time job is out of the question. “It’s a sacrifice, but it’s also my
choice,” he explains.
For Moore, it means not being able to take advantage of DU’s study
abroad program and juggling skating and school.
Moore reiterates that being a full-time student — and graduating —
is something she won’t sacrifice. Fittingly, she is interested in working in
the area of sports sciences, probably in nutrition or in sports therapy after
graduation.
Balance between school and skating is something Moore handles well,
says her coach Heidi Thibert.
“Lisa works extremely hard at both her academic life and her athletic
life, and for this alone, she has my respect as her coach,” Thibert says. “Lisa
is committed to balancing her effort and being the best that she can be in
both her worlds.”
The skating world comes with a rigorous training schedule: Two-and-
a-half-hour training sessions six days a week, off-the-ice workouts several
times a week with a personal trainer to keep in shape and prevent injury,
and on-their-own workouts, too. They travel to Colorado Springs and Fort

Collins throughout the week to practice with different coaches (they have
three).
“It’s a packed schedule, but we do what we have to in order to make
skating our priority,” Moore says.
It’s what they have to do to compete at the highest level of their sport, she explains. The pair recently competed in their fifth U.S.
National Figure Skating Competition — the highest competition level besides the Olympics and the World Championships.
“It always feels like a sense of accomplishment just to make it to the competition,” Moore says. This year was particularly exciting
because 2010 is an Olympic year, she explains.
Though the pair didn’t qualify for the Olympics, they are proud of their run in the competition, which ended Jan. 16 in Spokane,
Wash.
During a competition, a pairs team must complete a short and a long program. For their short program on Jan. 15, the pair skated to
“Singin’ in the Rain” and placed 15th out of 16 teams. In the long program, they skated to a 1920s piece from the musical “No No Nanette”
and placed 13th. Overall, they finished 15th in the competition.
“With each year, we mature as a team,” Moore says. “This year, I feel we have matured to a higher level than ever before, and I feel
confident that we can only improve from here on.”

Barbeque bliss
Student grilling group smokes the competition

S tudents who know about the University

Jeff Haessler
of Denver Grilling Society (DUGS)
typically fall in one of two groups: They’re
either members, or they’re hungry.
DUGS is a student-run catering
company with about 20 members who love
to cook and grill. The society was started
in May 2007 by a group of grill-loving
students who “had no real intentions or
visions other than being able to grill for
people on campus,” says Jordan Hahn,
DUGS president.
The start was, well, a little half-baked,
Hahn says. It was “a totally unorganized
hang-out on the green … we just grilled
food and handed it to people.” Since then,
though, the club has turned into a well-done
idea.
“We have a pretty good mix of genders,
majors and class years … we all like food and cooking,” says Hahn, a senior marketing major from Indianapolis, Ind.
The group caters to groups and events within the DU community almost exclusively on campus. However, it also has catered charity
events for the Ronald McDonald House and a DU tailgate at a Colorado Rapids soccer game.
DUGS food is always free to attendees. The club supports itself by catering events for other DU organizations. So far, the club
has bought its own large grill, which Hahn says allows the group to partner with other student organizations to serve more of the DU
community.
On the menu: burgers, dogs, sausages, Mediterranean chicken pitas, pizza, barbecue, smoked ribs, cedar-plank salmon and much
more.
“We’ve done theme menus such as everything-on-a-stick, we did a burger event with eight kinds of burgers, and when DU plays
Colorado College, we cook tiger prawns because it’s the closest we can get to real tiger,” Hahn says.
Among student favorites: a vegetable medley and grilled pineapple.
Tara Murphy, a senior Spanish major from Eden Prairie, Minn., who’s been to many DUGS events, says the grilled pineapple is one
of her top choices.
“The food is way better than any of the food on campus,” she says. “I also like the shrimp skewers.”
Murphy says she likes the entire concept.
“I can meet up with friends and enjoy the food,” she says. “I love how DUGS sets up on campus … it’s always great to walk out of class
and have a delicious meal waiting for you. And it gives students a chance to learn something while hanging out with new friends.”
Damien Goddard (BSBA ’89) who lives in Houston and attends many DU hockey games each year, has eaten at several DUGS events
and says the club is a good way for alumni to interact with students in a casual environment.
“I’ve seen firsthand the amount of effort and pride the students put into these events, from the quality and preparation of the food,
to the marketing necessary to draw a good crowd,” Goddard says. “I’ve seen the students communicate through Facebook to design,
market and implement their events. I think DUGS has limitless potential for more and larger events and more networking between
alumni and students.”
Hahn says the most fun events are Homecoming and Colorado College tailgates.
“We usually draw between 500 and 800 people, and it’s a great gathering of DU fans,” he says. “We’re all pretty big into DU hockey
and DU in general, so events like that really boost morale on campus.”
As for the future, DUGS members are compiling “a few dozen” recipes to post on its Web site, www.dugrillingsociety.com. A cooking
class is in the works as is an all-vegetarian event. They might even publish a cookbook.
“Our horizons are still expanding,” Hahn says.

 Life on the flying trapeze
Alumna flies — and litigates — with the greatest of ease

I t’s probably safe to say there are few people who are at home trying a case in a courtroom and flying through the air waiting for someone
to catch them by their ankles.
But flying through the air as a member of the Westminster-based Imperial Flyers trapeze and circus arts club is nothing new for
University of Denver Sturm College of Law alumna Lisa Hogan (JD ’84).
She also juggles, holds a radio disc jockey license and dabbles in fire-eating.
Hogan’s path to the trapeze began years ago. After earning a degree in political science at the University of Oregon, she mulled two
career paths — one that would send her to Barnum & Bailey Circus School, the other to law school.
Hogan was so serious about performing in the circus, she delayed her entrance into Sturm to await word from Barnum & Bailey, which
eventually turned her down. Hogan spent a year in the mountains working as a disc jockey and then started law school.
It turned out to be the right choice. In October, Hogan, 51, was honored through the DU Law Stars program for alumni
professionalism.
“I guess I’ve always been up for anything,” Hogan says between practice swings from a platform 23 feet above a field in the Denver
suburbs. “I just love this. I mean … just look at it.”
Indeed, the allure of “flying” — as Hogan and teammates refer to the trapeze — seems to lie in the intense concentration and the
requirement that participants block out all the distractions in their lives. A plaque at the base of the ladder the flyers take to the platform
has one simple instruction: “Don’t think, just fly.”
“It is kind of a release,” she says. “You just get up there and block out everything.”
“Everything” is quite a bit for Hogan. After DU, she began her legal career with the Denver District Attorney’s Office before taking
a job with the law firm of Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber and Schreck. After 17 years with the firm, she took a job as vice president of
litigation for Level 3 Communications. After helping
the firm through a period of tremendous growth,
she returned to private practice with Brownstein,
seeking a broader range of challenges and more time
in the courtroom.
It was during her time with the district
attorney’s office that friends lured her into a loose-
knit band of trapeze enthusiasts organized through
the downtown YMCA. She says it was love at first
swing, even when she suffered painful muscle tears
in only her second day with the squad. There was no
turning back, she says.
Flyer Bruce Lonnecker, a retired electrical
engineer with 35 years on the trapeze, has watched
Hogan continually improve.
“You kind of have to push your nerve to get out
there,” he says. “She’s always been brave. She sticks
with it and she’ll try anything.”
Standing on a platform high in the air on a
September morning, Hogan was still juggling her
passion for flying and her passion for law.
“I have to get to work,” she says to friend and
fellow flyer Susan Winker. “I have law to practice.”
Jeff Haessler

Winker leaned over and asks, “Did you bring work

clothes?”
Summing up her unique ride to the top of her profession, Hogan can look back on the path that took her there.
“It seems like I have always been leaping off of something, hoping to make a catch or not die trying, keeping lots of complex objects up
in the air, stumbling and trying to make it look like it was on purpose, getting wrapped up and twisted around and upside down,” she says,
“and trying not to let them see me sweat.”
