Comment on: Jasper connection to Santa Margarita TnFby Carolyn Predmore (MCfaculty)

http://www.nationalscholastic.org/article/937/

I think his grandfather was Joe Zeitler – see the article

# – # – # – # – #

[JR: I think you're absolutely right. And, it's another great story that the automatic searches didn't find. Argh! Guess I'll have to write my own.]

*** begin quote ***

His Dad, Joe Zeitler, had been a brilliant runner at Manhattan College, in the late 1930s and early 1940s, with such notables as Howie Borck, Andy Neidnig, Bob Conkling and George Sheehan among his teammates.

Zeitler, Joe [MC????]

[JR: Thanks, Prof P. Much appreciated. Have to move this on to Jasper Jotting Daily. First time for everything.]

Dear John,

I am not sure what Class Joe Zeitler graduated with, but the four Track Legends that were mentioned in the article are all members of the Manhattan College Athletic Hall of Fame. They are: Edgar “Howie” Borck,’38, Robert Conkling,’39, George Sheehan,’40 and Andy Neidnig,’41. So we can assume that Joe was probably in one of these later Classes.

Mike

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated.]

MFOUND: Dinter, Paul [MCfac] “why MC is turning its back on Catholic social teaching”

Posted on April 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2011/04/25/essay_on_fight_over_unionization_of_adjuncts_at_roman_catholic_colleges

Laboring in Education
April 25, 2011
By Paul Dinter

*** begin quote ***

Such a conscientious observer would, I expect, be wondering why Manhattan College is turning its back on more than 100 years of Catholic social teaching and its recognition that, for individuals to be able to trade their labor fairly, they can and should do so “in solidarity” with their fellows. For without unions, individuals remain outmatched whether they are in the mines, on the assembly line, or in classrooms. One by one, they cannot benefit from the checks and balances that help assure that the “invisible hand” of the market does not ride roughshod over the less powerful.

*** end quote ***

Paul Dinter is adjunct professor of religious studies at Manhattan College.

# – # – #

[JR: I have yet to hear a grievance? Allowing the Gooferment to "regulate" religion is a mistake. And, what does "to stop adjunct faculty from associating as a union to improve their livelihood" mean. Same sex marriage benefits. Abortion insurance coverage. Sorry, but I have NOT heard a real need for a union. Does the administration beat "its" adjuncts for giving too many F's? Or A's? Are they in some way treated unfairly? I'm confused.]

[JR: We recognize, and Manhattan College alumni should pray, for our fellow “Jasper Maker” and the family at this time. Staff and Faculty — current and past — are recognized, remembered, and prayed for. We are mindful of the service of these good men and women that comprise the Jasper “forge” that making us what we are. They are the “blacksmith’s muscles” on the “bones” of the MC campus.]

Dear John,

   I believe that Prof Reilly is a member of the Class of 1949.

   May He Rest In Peace.

Dear John,

   I would like to add that Professor Reilly taught a class of us Businessmen soon after he became an instructor on Campus. As I recall we were not among his favorite students, but he did his best to enlighten our minds. He was tough but fair.

   May He Rest In Peace.

   Mike

[JR: I can't imagine that you were not among his favorite students. "Fair" is the best label any man can earn.]

JHQ: Fairchild, Kimberly (MCfac) welcome alum participation

Posted on February 16, 2011 by | Comments Off

[Found a "new" survey from MC in my searches. Here's the last email in the thread.]

That’s my new survey. If you’d like to post it on your blog, that would be great. I’d recommend using the following description:

In this psychology study, you will watch a short, randomly selected video of an individual and make decisions and predictions about his/her behavior and emotions. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete and all responses are strictly anonymous.

I created a new link to the survey for alumni: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/jasperalum

The alumni sample will likely be a bit older than my typical samples, so this new link will help me to analyze their data in comparison to a more college aged sample.

I’d also be happy to give you a summary of the results in a few months after I collect and analyze the data.

JHQ: Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia 3/4 PM

Manhattan College’s Holocaust Resource Center Hosts Lecture About The Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Manhattan College Holocaust Resource Center will host a lecture, The Aftermath of Genocide in Cambodia: the UN and the Failures of National Reconciliation, given by Dr. Benny Widyono on Thursday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. The event, which will take place in Smith Auditorium, is free and open to the public.

Widyono is the author of Dancing in Shadows: Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge and the United Nations in Cambodia (2007). His book is not only a political memoir but also is an account of the flawed efforts of UN peacekeeping and the inadequacies of the international response to genocide by the Khmer Rouge in the aftermath of the Cold War.

After serving as a provincial director in the United Nations Transitional Authority on Cambodia (UNTAC) in 1992-1993, Widyono was named personal representative of the United Nations secretary-general in Cambodia in 1994. He remained in that post until 1997, when he retired from the United Nations after 34 years.

In retirement, Widyono has served as an economic advisor on Southeast Asian issues both in academia and in the business world. Since 2006, Widyono has been professor of economics at the University of Connecticut at Stamford.

For more information about this event, please call Dr. Jeff Horn, director of the Holocaust Resource Center at Manhattan College, at (718) 862-7129 or email jeff.horn@manhattan.edu.

The history of the Holocaust Resource Center dates back to 1996, when discussions among concerned faculty and administrators at the College and in the Riverdale community led to its founding with the mission of promoting Catholic-Jewish dialogue and educating future generations about the Holocaust. The center inaugurated its Visiting Scholars Program the next year, and in 2006, an additional annual lecture was added to the series that focuses on genocides other than the Holocaust.

More information about the Holocaust Resource Center can be found on its Web site at home.manhattan.edu/holocaustcenter.

Manhattan to Send Vice President of Student Life off in Style at Halftime of Men’s ESPNU Game

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Manhattan Athletic Department in conjunction with Student Government will honor Vice President for Student Life Brother Robert Berger F.S.C. Friday for over 20 years of service to the College during the men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader. Brother Robert will step down from his position as Vice President of Student Life at the conclusion of the 2009-10 academic year concentrating as a faculty member in the Religious Studies Department. Fans, students and alumni are encouraged to come out to Draddy Gymnasium to help send Brother Robert off in style with a special ceremony during the Jaspers ESPNU televised contest versus Marist at 9 p.m. The first 1,000 students through the turnstiles will receive a commemorative Brother Robert souvenir.

The eventful evening kicks off at 6 p.m. when the Lady Jaspers host upstate MAAC rival Siena, which is currently locked in a third place tie with Manhattan. The women’s game will feature a ‘Commuter Night’ theme as Manhattan students will have the opportunity to win a meal plan and parking space on campus.

Brother Robert returned to Manhattan College in 1988, fifteen years after he had received his undergraduate degree from the College. During this time, Brother Robert taught mathematics and religion at several secondary schools. He also served as the assistant chaplain at the Aquinas Institute of Princeton University (1985-88). During his time at Manhattan, Brother Robert received a Fullbright Memorial Scholarship to study the educational system in Japan. He spent the 1998-99 academic year abroad while on sabbatical from Manhattan. Brother Robert also received the Distinguished Lasallian Educator Award from Manhattan College for the 1993-94 academic year. Brother Robert has served as the Vice President of Student Life and Associate Professor of Religious Studies since 1997.

MFOUND: No investment without gooferment?

“Good Enough for Government Work”
John Stossel

*** begin quote ***

In a letter to the New York Times, Manhattan College associate professor Pamela S. Chasek instructs Times readers that:

Without taxes and without government, there will be little or no investment in infrastructure, transit, education, science, national parks and so on.

*** end quote ***

[JR: And this BIZARE comment from a MC prof sets off a litany of counter examples. What type of socialists are working at MC? I'm stunned! NO INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION? And she's teaching on the MC campus? Argh!]

[JR: Maybe she's not ours?]

Scatterbomb http://www.myspace.com/scatterbomb needs a coach for the Spring Semester.

I am unable to continue coaching Manhattan College’s improv troupe Scatterbomb and am helping them find a replacement coach for Spring 2007.

This is a bit of a situation, so here are the details…

   * You’d really have to be available once a week, every week, from about 7:30-10:30. They probably won’t know which day they’ll have rehearsal until the semester starts. You can’t really miss rehearsals, seriously, but if you do you’d either have to find a sub (and pay him out of your own pocket – see below) or hope they can make up a different week.

   * Manhattan College is on 242nd Street, the final stop on the 1 (it’s a pretty safe area). It takes me about 1.5 hours to get home in the LES. So the commute is a bit of a pain and can be difficult if you live in Queens.

   * You’ll be working with a mix of veterans and people who’ve only been doing it for one semester, so it’s also a fun teaching challenge.

   * Because of these factors, the pay is more than the standard coaching rate. You’ll probably be paid monthly, and will have to fill out tax forms, as you’ll receive a check from the school.

You’ve really gotta be reliable and committed to this gig through the entire semester. These are a great group of people, and I want them to have the best coach possible.

If you think you have the guts, please email me at professorkirkus -at- yahoo -dot- com, and I’ll toss your name into the ring for consideration.

New for 2010!

Read this slightly updated list and email me if you think you can do it.

   * Meet with them once a week for the Spring semester (about 14 weeks, total), from 7:30 to 10:30. Probably gonna be on a Monday or Wednesday.

   * Manhattan College is on 242nd Street, the final stop on the 1 (it’s a pretty safe area), so this position is ideal for someone who lives on the UWS or close to a 1, 2, or 3 train. It takes me about 1.5 hours to get home in Astoria, so the commute could be a pain in the ass depending on where you live.

   * You’ll be working with a mix of veterans and people who’ve only been doing it for one semester, so it’s a fun teaching challenge.

   * Because of these factors, the pay is more than the standard coaching rate. You’ll receive a check from the school for the entire semester.

   * You really can’t miss rehearsals, seriously, but if you do you’d either have to find a sub (and I could probably do it, if necessary) and pay for them yourself.

You’ve really gotta be reliable and committed to this gig through the entire semester. They’re are a great group of people, and I want them to have the best coach possible.

If you think you have the guts, please email me at professorkirkus -at- yahoo -dot- com, and I’ll toss your name into the ring for consideration.
