This wall will be part of the lobby/multi-purpose room on the north side of the suite-style dormitory. ■ New lots created in midst of resident hall construction increase parking spots By Kate Fehringer Editor-in-Chief The construction of the new residence hall is u-ndervçày.'üfter a groundbreaking ceremony August'7, tfansforming the area behind Borromeo Hall into what appears to be a wasteland of leveled dirt. Removal of several houses owned by the college has made way for a new parking lot system that extends from Simperman Hall all the way to Lyndale. Over the course of con struction, these lots will be opened and closed to facilitate the installation of a storm drain system. Sean McGoldrick, director of facilties man agement at Carroll, explained the changes in campus parking and the construction schedule students can expect to encounter this year. The creation of several new parking lots, some temporary and some permanent, has increased the number of parking spots avail able during construction by about 137 spaces, McGoldrick said. Once the res idence hall is complete and Lyndale and Getchell Street construction has been finished, the campus is looking at 109 more open parking spaces than were available on campus last year. Changes that can be expected once construction is complete include the transformation of Ralph Street (behind Borromeo) into a 20-foot wide walkway, McGoldrick said. Three houses that are current ly located south of the Cube will be removed in the spring to make way for a parking lot extending west of the new resi dence hall. McGoldrick said this parking will most likely be des ignated for both visitors to the campus center (Cube) and residents of the dor mitory. An additional three houses owned by Carroll near the intersection of Getchell and Lyndale will be removed next spring to accommodate another parking lot with 36 open spaces. McGoldrick said they hope to have all the permanent parking lots paved by next August, and the residence hall is still scheduled to be open by fall 2003. Hillen leaves Carroll to start stained glass studio By Kate Fehringer Editor-in-Chief Father Dan Hillen has designed stained glass in just about every building on Carroll’s cam pus since he started work there in 1975: the PE Center, an old house, the basement of Borromeo Hall, the Performing Arts Center and St. Charles. This August, he moved yet again. For the first time he has his own studio, and also for the first time in 28 years, he is no longer a professor. Hillen said his decision to leave Carroll came this summer when someone suggested that he get his own studio instead of having to move all his work when school started. He said he realized that all the years of teaching had left him without a life of his own. After working during every vacation, he said he likes now being able to leave the studio at 4 p.m. “I don’t think it’s really hit me yet,” he com mented about his departure from the Carroll community. “I don’t think artists really retire. I’ve got a lot of creative ideas I want to exe cute before I leave this planet.” Hillen is far from retiring at this point. The 750 full sheets of glass stacked around his new studio at 1018 Custer Avenue Complex, give NEW DIRECTIONS: Fr. Dan Hillen left Carroll this August to start his own studio in town after 28 years of teaching stained glass . evidence to the busy schedule of commis sioned work he has ahead of him. “We have more work than we can shake a stick at,” Hillen remarked. One of his projects is the window on the west side of Carroll’s dining hall, which he said is about one-third finished. It will match the window on the east side of the hall, but will be in green, blue and violet colors. Much of Hillen’s work is for churches in the Helena diocese, both in and out of town. Hillen said he would be continuing his priestly duties on weekends in addition to his artwork, which he considers art ministry. Carroll’s 2002 graduate, Nolan Glueckert is working with Hillen as an apprentice, as he has done for the past two years. Glueckert will put his degree in communications and his minor in visual arts to a practical purpose, helping Hillen with marketing for his artwork. He may also display some of his own stained glass work in the studio gallery, Hillen said. A grand opening for the studio, which Hillen has titled SIO Two (the chemical formula for glass), will be in several months. Right now they are busy unpacking boxes and renovating the office building to fit their needs. Jim Trudnowski, academic dean at Carroll, said that the college has hired adjunct faculty to teach Photography and Design, one of Hillen’s former classes. He said they were unable to find an available professor to teach the stained glass course, so it was cancelled for the semester. They will be advertising for adjunct faculty to teach these courses in the spring. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2002 VOLUME 86, NOT
