Complet Overhaul Bicycle Repair at the Sibley Bike Depot (March)
This class will build upon the skills taught in the Basic Bike Maintenance class and expand through overhauling an entire bicycle. Participants will take apart, clean, and repack all bearing systems, including hubs, headsets, and bottom brackets. In addition, the will install new cables and housing on brakes and derailleurs as needed, and lubricate/adjust all shifting systems. In full, folks attending this class will learn how to perform a complete tune-up/overhaul of a bicycle. Participants will work with the same bike through the class, in order to see the complexities and intricacies of one specific bicycle. Note: All class participants will fix up SHOP BIKES during this class! Bikes fixed up will go into one of Sibley's many community programs designed to promote biking!
DJ at WMCN 91.7FM
WMCN is looking for community DJs to broadcast alongside Macalester students! WMCN is a free-form, non-commercial, educational radio station serving Macalester College and its surrounding communities. Like many college radio stations, WMCN does not limit itself to any particular genre[s]. Our programming consists of a broad spectrum of music from indepedent record labels and artists, along with a spattering of talk, news, and announcements. Unlike most radio stations of any sort, however, WMCN is a truly freeform broadcast. We have unique weekly programs, each with its own host DJ[s] and theme. For more information about the station, see our website at www.macalester.edu/wmcn
If you would like to join our WMCN family, we encourage you to apply for a show explaining your idea, time availability, ect. Applications are due February 8th at 10PM. Once you have filled out the application, the staff here will do show selection and get back to you about your allotted time-slot. The "class" will consist of a training session over the weekend of February 13th and 14th. Finally, we will begin broadcasting the morning of February 15th. On a weekly basis, you will be responsible for your personal show preparation and the show itself, which you can run however you'd like (as long as it complies with the FCC, of course).
If you want to apply, and/or see what the application process entails, please follow the application link: here.

The Godfather: Cultural Enrichment or Co-Dependence?
In other words, there are classic movies which add to our cultural
enrichment such as Joe Macbeth (starring John Garfield), and The
Godfather (starring Al Pacino). However, the co-dependence theme comes
up when we are no longer able or willing to tell our own stories. After
a hard day on the job or at school, all we wanna do is rent a movie so
that we can quote "unwind." This speaks to an intellectual laziness
which could end up helping to unravel a society which is already
unravelling.
The Indigenous Imperative: An Ecological Perspective
The premise of course is that our future is not only ecological but
indigenous. We will be looking at not only the Six Nations Confederacy,
but several other cultural and political powers in the western
hemisphere including the Hopi, the Ojibway, the Inca, the Maya, Aztecs
and many others. One of the goals of this course will be to not only
push the envelope but get rid of the envelope. No discussion of our
problems or potentials is possible without our indigenous center.
NOTE: Ray does not use email so if you want to get in touch with him
before the class please call.
Sibley Bike Depot - Bicycle Trailer Building Class (February) - REGISTRATION CLOSED
Build your own bicycle trailer to haul groceries, lumber, just about anything - even a canoe!
In this class we will explore building a strong, inexpensive and beautiful bike trailer with just a couple wheels and some otherwise unused wood. There will be an emphasis on employing “appropriate technology” hand tools such as planes, hand saws, brace and bit, etc. So bring any tools you own to class and we will tune them up and explore their proper and safe use (tools will be provided as well). We will not be using any welding equipment. Within the four meetings of this class participants will be able to roll home their own new trailer!
Note: Though we will attempt to reclaim as many materials as possible, there will likely be a small materials fee, likely around $15, for the class.
