A trial date looms for an MSCD history professor charged with destruction of private property, disturbing the peace, and the assault of a female MSCD student - his former girlfriend. Charles E. Angeletti, 52, a tenured history professor allegedly grabbed, pushed, shoved and hit Katherine A. Lineberger, 23, with closed fists on May 12 at her Capitol Hill apartment, according to a Denver police domestic violence report. Angeletti is an MSCD professor of 23 years and was the faculty trustee to the Trustees of the State Colleges at the time of his arrest. He was arrested on the three misdemeanor counts by the Denver Po-
lice on the Auraria Campus May 14. The trustees are the governing body of Mesa State College; Western State College, Adams State College and MSCD. Angeletti's one-year term as the faculty trustee expired June 30. Also, Lineberger filed a sexual harassment complaint May 21, against Angeletti with the Equal Opportunity Office at MSCD alleging verbal \ md emotional abuse. "I never did anything in a classroom or any other campus setting or in the course of any Metro-related activity whicb Ms. Lineberger now claims was harassment," Angeletti said in his July 20 response filed with the Equal Opportunity Office answering Lineberger's complaint. In the same document, he said that be and Lineberger did have a consentual relationship. According to Lineberger, she had a
class with Angeletti in the fall semester of 1985 and they began dating in the spring semester of 1986. The consentual relationship was off and on for the next four years, she said. . "I had low self-esteem and he was yards above any man I'd dated before," said Lineberger who said she was abused and was the victim of incest as a youth. Lineberger, who graduated in May but is taking one class this semester, said she grew more self-confident while at MSCD and her relationship with Angeletti changed. On the night of May 12, according to officer Shane K. Webster's report in the affidavit for arrest warrant, Lineberger's front door bad been kicked in, she had red marks on her neck and arms, and was very upset.

There may be hope for students faced with endless piles ofreading assignments. Dr. Barney Chin-Shong, associate professor of sociology and speech communication, is offering a course in understanding and processing what they read. "The class will work on text book reading, but more important, every thing that's read," Chin-Shong said. "The course uses scientific inquiry as a model for organizing information. This is the real basis of comprehension and subsequent evaluation of whether the claims are acceptable," he said. According to Chin-Shong, the sender's communication goals and the receiver's informational needs are not always the same. The author wants to relay a message, but that message is sometimes influenced by such things as sex, ethnicity, self-definition, social ties and material good of which the reader is unaware, he said Information has two major components, the subjective and the objective. "When the reader understands how the subjective and objective work together they will betterunderstand whatthey read." The course, SPE L90 - Communication Analysis, is worth three credits and the call number is 7093. For additional information call the Academic Assessment and Support Center at 556-4327. a
