Dear John,

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. Imagine the stories he could have told us? Lost! Argh, that’s why with cheap self-publishing and free websites, there’s no reason not to capture all these stories before it’s too late. Argh! I think this is the second oldest obit we’ve done.]

Ward, Malcolm [MC1935 RIP]

Missing Three Credits? Expect to Stay in School Another Three Months

*** begin quote ***

Out of the eighteen courses that are required among the Advertising, Broadcasting, Journalism, and Public Relations concentrations in order to graduate, only seven are offered next semester. In addition, out of the 300 required courses among students in the School of Arts, Business, Engineering and Science, and all of their concentrations, only 107 are offered.

Rich Baxter, a transfer student and Public Relations major, had been eager for the release of available courses, as he was anticipating graduating in the spring. “There are no communications courses,” he over-exaggerated that same day, clearly frustrated. “They don’t even have the classes I need to take before I graduate. As of now I’m stuck taking two electives.” Even though his eyes were hidden from behind studded shades, they were obviously being rolled.

His only hope to fulfill his requirements would be the school’s Winterim courses, which oddly enough have not been released yet.

*** and ***

Besides lack of interest, technological inadequacies have made it impossible for students to register for some required classes.

Manhattan College’s ‘Self-Service’ program is hated among all undergraduates especially when the dreaded registration period rears it’s ugly head. On the days when registration is open, student’s set their alarms for the crack of dawn, where they then scramble to log onto the server and register for their desired classes before each is filled, if they’re lucky.

Without fail, each semester the server gets “overloaded” and students are unable to log in, helpless behind their computer screen as their courses fill up. Once the classes are filled its simply ‘tough luck’ for these students, who are then forced to take courses that are unnecessary just so they can fill their schedule.

For students facing the possibility of having to stay an extra semester at Manhattan College, there are very few options. Like Baxter, students may have to rely on winter courses to fulfill their requirements, or take courses at another college and transfer the credits (if Manhattan College will accept the other school’s credits).

Tough as Nails, but Always Ready for a Bearhug
By JENNY ANDERSON

Strict but always ready for a hug, Brother Brian Carty, founder of a highly regarded private middle school in Manhattan, holds his students to rigorous academic and personal standards.

[JR: Interesting. A heroic effort in the face of problems at all levels.]

Dear John,

   Today’s NY Times has an article on the School that Br. Brian Carty, FSC runs in Manhattan. He is an interesting person. He was at one time assigned to Lincoln Hall up in Lincolndale, Westchester County.

    A few years back he spoke at our Manhattan College and Businesmen’s Retreat.

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Sorry to report, Mawn, Joseph (MC1963) got his paper early today, so you were scooped. But he didn't mention the Jasper connection.]

JEMAIL: Toner, Mike (MC1972)

Posted on October 24, 2010 by | Comments Off

Dear Fjohn,

It is amazing to me to see how often Catholic institutions work hard to deny workers their right to organize. I am not a big union fan (when I worked for CUNY and SUNY, many years ago – I opted to pay an “agency shop” fee rather than be compelled to join a union) but a clear teaching from Pope Leo’s encyclical “Rerum Novarum” is that workers should be free to join unions if they choose. It is disappointing to see that alma mater would go to the trouble and expense of hiring a special counsel to fight the simple attempt to organize.

[JR: I'm not encyclical kinda guy. Us fat old white guy injineers get headaches when we read all them fancy words with no formulas or numbers. But, I just smell a Secular Progressive "rat". My question is 'why is a union needed'?]

JEMAIL: Dans, Peter E. (MC1957) finds an inspirational military story

Posted on October 24, 2010 by | Comments Off

This is an incredible testament to the medics and the transporters. In this time when our president and others apologize for America, this makes me proud to be an American and not for the first time like Michelle Obama. Would I have done the same thing in their position. I’d like to think I would have but one never knows until the rubber meets the road.

Dans, Peter E. (MC1957)

[JR: You have to admire a fellow, or gal, with bowling balls for stones. Greater love hath. Personally, I'm a fan of Ron Paul's strategy. Get on the first thing smoking coming in this direction. "We, The People" need to "help" our politicians understand that our Army stops at the coast or border. We forget this at the peril of a lot of good women and men, or boys and girls. Argh!]

Spc. Channing Moss was impaled with a piece of live ordinance. The medical people could have followed protocol and let him die, but they saw the value of one human life and knew there was only one choice.

What a miracle story! Get out the tissues and say a prayer of thanksgiving.

Forward it – if you’ve a mind to do so.

POSITRACTION: Pro-Life Leader threatened

Ohio Democrat Threatens Pro-Life Leader with Jail
by Connie Hair
10/20/2010

*** begin quote ***

I’m Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life organization.

Congressman Steve Driehaus is threatening my organization with a criminal statute in a desperate attempt to silence us.

Steve Driehaus doesn’t want you to know the truth … … but you deserve to hear it.

Steve Driehaus voted for taxpayer funding of abortion when he cast his vote for the health care reform bill.

Every major pro-life group in the country agrees that the health care reform bill allows for taxpayer funding of abortion , including National Right to Life, Americans United for Life, Ohio Right to Life, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

We will not be silenced or intimidated.

Driehaus voted for taxpayer funding of abortion.

And that vote has consequences.

Paid for by the Susan B. Anthony List, which is responsible for the content of this advertisement. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. sba-list.org.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Clearly the D's are running from their votes. Not that the R's are much better. That any legislator can attempt to stifle free speech is scary. I'd say that if it was either side of this terrible horrifying genocide. Everyone deserves to speak their mind. No matter how looney. We need ideas out in the open. Just as clearly, this will be a momentous election. I hope all Jaspers do their duty as they see it. Whatever that duty is.]
