Currency from page A8 Felix manages about 400 scientists, engineers, techni cians and maintenance work ers, and he oversees the scien tific, technical and engineer ing aspects of the creation and nroduction ol currency. His area of responsibility includes rigor ous testing to ensure that currency is durable and lives through its expected ycuis Ul V.IIV.U" lation. Felix's division of scien tists. chemists, engineers and electro-machinists not only includes Ihose who actually handle the design of money but those who must test money to make sure it works well in any environment. "We're the first step in determining whether paper currency designs are practical from a manufacturing stand point. We have to inspect it rg-i. * and make certain it stands up to all standards." Felix said. Brent, as chief of the Office of Currency Produc tion. manages 450 employees and oversees daily operations of six phases of processing money. He has been employed by the BEP for 13 years. He was intricately involved in the production of the new $20 bills, which have been retooled in an effort to prevent* counterfeiting. The new bills are graced with sub tle background colors and enhanced securi ty features. "The face of counterfeiting has changed as a result of new technology." he -I said. Brent said color adds complexity to the currency and may help the visually impaired tell the dif ferent denominations from one another. Game I from paxf AS draws on stereotypes not as a means to degrade, but as a medium to bring (people) together in laughter. It we can't laugh at ourselves and how we each utilize the various stereo types. then we'll continue to live in blame and bitterness." The maker of Monopoly, the board game on which Ghet topoly is modeled, is not amused and has threatened to sue. claiming a violation of its intellectual properly rights. In a statement issued last week. Frank Bifulco. president of the I, - Pawtucket. R.I.-based Hasbro's U.S. Games, said: "We want to make it clear that Hasbro has absolutely no connection to the reprehensible Ghetlopoly' game." He said if the games aren't pulled, his company will sue to force Chang to slop sell ing the product. According to a news release promoting the game. Chang did his market research by watch^ ing MTV and studying the lyrics of rapand hip-hop music. He said video games provided him with insight into the culture of the ghetto, allowing him to come up with the names of the properties of the game in just a few hours. They include: Ray Ray's Chicken and Ribs, Harlem. Busta Rap Recording. The Bronx, and Hernando's Chop Shop. One of the Ghetto Stash cards (equivalent to Monop oly's Community Chest cards) reads: "You got yo whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50 from each player." "If other cultures find that this is a joke and that we are being too sensitive, then what else is new?" asked Mack of the NAACP. "We as black folks need to internalize this insult and act in a manner that says we will not tolerate this type of corporate racial insensitivity." Photo by Courtney (i ail lard " Larry Bell shoots recruits for an upcoming episode of "C/ass 50." Ben from pane A! Lately he's spending his days videotaping recruits in the class room and out in the field practic ing pursuit driving, violence and emergency response training. "We really want to show the public that it's not easy and give them an idea of what it all involves," Bell said. He said he wanted this series to be totally different than inter view-driven show "Behind the Badge." which features Win ston-Salem Police Chief Linda Davis and other law enforce ment officials who discuss the Police Department s strategic plan. I he premiere episode, which is uiring now, introduces viewers to nine members of the recruit class whose progress will be fol lowed closely during their train ing. The recruits also are called upon to help locate a missing Winston-Salem man who was later found dead in Virginia dur ing the first show. Nearly three hours of tape goes into producing one com plete show. A new half-hour episode will be shown every month. The series will conclude ? when the recruits graduate and receive their badges. "One of the things we want to show is that becoming a police officer is not an easy job. It's not a Cakewalk. And when we tinish this series we want the citizens to know this," said Billy Rich, who is also a video spe cialist with TV 13. Bell said he looks forward to seeing the recruits evolve over the course of their police train ing. "It's going to be interesting to see what happens at the end of the show. We have a diverse group (who are) male, female, black, white, older and . younger." Bell said. "Class 50" airs Sundays at 7 . p.m., Mondays at 6:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m.. Thursdays a I and 10:15 p.m., Fridays at 8:15 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m. Fall ^ ? C ? M s> ?3? wsttm&sm' I Eta ? {Mm Qro tMSaa s&anx?]? I Se> DtSEloflR?
