The Red and Black • Friday, November 30, 1990 • 3 i i WIFE From page 1 Smock doesn’t always tTavel with her husband because of the children, but said she made a spe cial trip to Athens. When asked about how they get enough money to make the trips, she said her hus band must travel on his own money. “He’s not a Jimmy Swaggart,” she said. Swaggart or not, students feel his words are meant to anger and inflame them. “He’s just doing this to inflame people,” John Jordan, a senior speech communications major said. Mark Adkins, a sophomore polit ical science nugor, said he feels Jed and others try to rile students to the point of anger. “He wants someone to get mad and hit him for a response,” he said. Others resent the fact that Jed is taking the subject of religion to such extremes. “He’s turning the word of the Bible to fit what he thinks and that’s not right,” said Robyn Ham ilton, a freshman management sci ences miyor. Lawson Sullivan, co-director of the Athens Gay and Lesbian Asso ciation, was the victim of Jed’s ve hemence about sexual perversion. Sullivan said she challenged Jed’s thoughts on perversion and told him that she was a lesbian. Jed then screamed, “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Sullivan said Jed told her and a friend that being a lesbian is shameful. Several males cheered Jed on when he was attacking her, she said. SEA: build bike lanes for better breathing Cindy said her husband’s mes sage is truth that young people don’t want to hear because it’s right. CAMPAIGN From page 1 House to make a parking lot. Shropshire said that all the con troversy over the brochure, which was mainly to present facts he felt were relevant to the voters, made it more effective. Mirsky pointed out that the bro chure was mailed after the dead line to get advertisements in local media, so that O’Looney was left without a means for rebuttal. Local and state officials have said the brochure violates several election laws, but it isn’t clear whether any action will be taken by the State Ethics Commission. Ted Lee, executive secretary of the commission, said Thursday that no complaints had been filed, but it wouldn’t surprise him if they were. MAP-ping a course to better math division, but it’s actually an entirely different model of teaching mathemetics from what most of By LESUE PHILUPS Contributing Writer “Mathemagenic” may sound like death by long dinei eaching mathemetics from wha us know. The University chose the mathemagenic model for its program, “Follow Through,” one of 14 feder ally funded experimental programs in the United States. The programs begun as a part of former Presi dent Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society program. In the last month, Congress authorized Follow Through for a four-year extension. “Mathemagenic was a gimmick word used to de scribe the model,” said Horace Hawn, director of the program. “Mathema” means knowledge and “genic” means the origin of knowledge. The late Charles Smock of the psychology de partment designed the model. It’s based on John Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. The acronym MAP is used to describe the three main principles of the model. M stands for mis match, A for activity-oriented and P for personal regulation. Basically, the theory is that children are at va rious levels of development, Hawn said. Teachers should address each child just beyond his level — just enough to challenge the child. In this model, the child is physically as well as mentally active, he said. Concreteness is dealt with more often than abstractness. The child is in control of his own learning, he said. The child can move around the classroom, choosing among various groups or working alone. There are no straight rows. Children can sit at tables or on the floor. Children respond to what “turns them on,” Hawn said, but they know what they are supposed to do and they do it. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the class room and become involved in policy making. They become an extension of the school at home. Eleanor Todd, project adviser, said, “There also is a comprehensive component dealing with the medical, dental and nutritional needs of the chil dren.” Todd works at the sites to determine how well they are implementing the different components of the program. There once were seven schools involved in the Follow Through program, she said. By RAIS TULLOS Contributing Writer Having bike lanes in Athens would improve air quality, Ali Jones, director of education for Students for Environmental Awareness, said in the group’s monthly meeting. Jones, a junior botany mcgor, said Wednesday she met with the Athens Transportation Coordi nating Committee Wednesday morning to discuss the problems Athens may face as a result of poor air quality. She told SEA members she em phasized the need for bike lanes in order to help control Athens’ rising ozone levels. Broad Street sees 27,- 000 cars daily, contributing to the pollution, and that number is ex pected to rise to 36,000 by the year 2010. The average amount of pollutant ozone for Athens is 60 to 65 parts per billion, Jones said. However, the amount varies and is in fluenced by weather. In 1988, which was character ized by very dry, warm weather, levels were recorded to have reached 119 ppb. When 120 ppb is recorded for two days, the Environ mental Protection Agency calls it non-attainment —causing feder ally imposed regulations on what type of industry the city may in vite. Atlanta currently faces non attainment. Jones hopes the threat of lost business in Athens will incite in clusion of bike lanes in transporta tion plans. Derek Horn, a freshman history major attending the meeting, sug gested a bike-a-thon to create an awareness of the number of bikers on campus. pAINTINQ Repairs & Touch-Ups Large or Small Jobs Interior & Exterior 40 to 50 ft. 1 .udders & Scaffolding • Highbacks • Boxing •Gables • Carpentry • Masonry • Supple • Ceilings Dry wall •.
