MFound: A yellow card at a Jasper basketball home game.

* Manhattan College Basketball > General Discussion > Yellow Card

*** begin quote ***

How many people can say they got a yellow card at a Jasper basketball home game. Well I can clim 2 of them, one last year and one today, actually ckjasper also got a yellow card today as well. I can say that in close to 20 years of going to Jasper GAmes I have never received a yellow card not even a warning, the closest thing I ever got at a game to a yellow card was perhaps the famous look from Bro Scanlon. Until today I did not realize how sterile and bland things have gotten at Draddy, if you are not sitting with legs crossed as quiet as an alter boy at the game you are in violation!!! I am a little bit shocked and disappointed that this is what Draddy Gym has turned into.

*** and ***

i never have made a comment on this board but read it all the time. i know exactly what he is saying. i showed up to all the basketball games when at school and usually make a few loud comments usually during foul shots. i never curse but this year one of the first games of the year i showed up after class and yelled something out like morgan state thats a great academic school or something and brother scalan came up to me at half time and told me im pushing the limit and need to knock it off. like give me a break. in high school we had a cheering section and i went to a catholic school and we went nuts no one complained. this school its like we are 5 years old and will get detention for saying something to another team. in my opinion schools a joke. i play a sport here nd when i travel i hear some crazy things being said and not one word gets said to those players.

[JR: Interesting. Anyone have any details? Does Brother President actually have a yellow card? Fascinating!]

MFound: Manhattan College ASCD Student Chapter

Posted on January 1, 2009 by | Comments Off

Manhattan College ASCD Student Chapter:
A Beginning
By William Dougherty and Penelope Hunt

*** begin quote ***

The theme chosen for the Manhattan College chapter of ASCD is “Bridges.” Education, like most fields today, is changing every day, and future teachers have a responsibility to establish a foundation for continued “education on education.” Our chapter is viewed as the bridge between training and practice—or preprofessional and being a professional. While in college, future teachers must not only learn the theory but also learn how to apply these theories in the classroom through observation and actual practice. The activities of the chapter have revolved around this theme.

{Extraneous Deleted}

To quote one workshop participant, “There is so much about education to learn, that four years, in many ways, seems too short.” This workshop and the other activities presented by the Manhattan College ASCD chapter are an important bridge spanning the transition from preprofessional to professional and provide the solution to this challenge.

[JR: "Education" done right; invaluable. As done in the gooferment skruls; expensive "babysitting"!]

MNEWS: Iraq War Veterans Appreciation Night @ MC BBALL

Jaspers host ‘Veterans Night’ vs. American

*** begin quote ***

Then why not venture to Manhattan College for the Jaspers game against American University Monday night at Draddy Gym. It’s not just the final home game of 2008 for the Jaspers, it’s also going to be Iraq War Veterans Appreciation Night. All veterans and their families will receive complimentary tickets to the game, courtesy of Manhattan College.

The idea for Manhattan’s “Veterans Night” was spawned from Jaspers coach Barry Rohrssen’s visit to Iraq last summer as part of Operation Hardwood, a goodwill visit by a group of Division I college coaches sponsored by the USO and Armed Forces Entertainment.

*** and ***

So come on out and support our troops. Tipoff for this very worthy cause is 7 p.m.

[JR: Sounds like a good idea!]

JEmail: Coyne, Matt (MC2011) having trouble with the powers that be

Posted on December 15, 2008 by | 1 Comment

REPORTING LIVE FROM THE FACEBOOK NEWS DESK
IN THE VIRTUAL JASPER JOTTINGS NEWSROOM …

Last Ditch Effort

To members of The Official Manhattan College Ice Hockey Club Group

Matt Coyne

December 14 at 1:19pm

Hey guys,

In case you haven’t read the group, Student Government turned us down. They initially told us that we wouldn’t have a problem getting approved and now they, too, have {Expletive Deleted}  us.

There is a little hope though. The Men’s Swimming program that was stared is in trouble for a bunch of reasons and one of the main arguments against a hockey club was that Athletics wanted to fund us at least partially. If the rumors are true, then the Men’s Swimming team is going to be disbanded, which leaves a gap in the Athletic budget.

I’m going to try and write some letters/emails over break to various people in the administration to try and get some support from them and show the school that we are serious about playing and that this is a good move for the school.

This is the last think I can think of that could get us a team. I know a lot of us have put in a lot of effort and I know that I wouldn’t be comfortable knowing that I didn’t do all I could to make this work.

-Matt

[JR: Seems like there needs to be some fundraising? I have no idea what the gap is. But, it would seem that it wouldn't be insolvable if one was motivated.]

——————–

Re: Last Ditch Effort

John,

Thanks a lot. Part of it is money, but I feel like a significant part of it is “We just don’t want to do it.” It’s a little infuriating. I can understand where they’re coming from, but we have 25+ guys interested in playing, and we just want to represent MC (and we’re willing to pay our own way, too).

Thank you,

Matt

JHQ: Manhattan College Students Work To Establish Mentor Program

News Release
November 18, 2008

Manhattan College Students Work To Establish Mentor Program At New Explorers High School In South Bronx

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College students David Ellison ’09, Dinorah Pena ’10, Emily Murtaugh ’09 and Ayana Rainford ’09 have started to make strides toward the creation of a permanent mentor program at New Explorers High School.

The four communication majors will travel to the South Bronx high school on Monday, Nov. 24, to speak with 60 juniors about the importance of going to college, staying motivated and keeping a positive attitude.

“As Manhattan College students and members of the Riverdale community, we wanted to try and give back to children from the Bronx neighborhoods who are about to undergo the same experiences that we have; applying to college, preparing for and taking the SATs, and choosing the best university to continue their education,” says Ellison, who also serves as editor-in-chief of the College’s student newspaper The Quadrangle.

The Manhattan students plan to talk about their personal struggles with getting into college, common misconceptions about college and the importance of perseverance. They will hold a workshop on how to fill out applications and financial aid forms, and the difference between high school and college life.

For more information about the program, please contact Ellison at (401) 230-5520 or {Extraneous Deleted}.

Manhattan College Engineering Students Win Scholarships From Prestigious Industry Group

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College electrical engineering students Margery Hines ’09 and Robert Stigliano ’09 have been awarded scholarships from the Association of Old Crows (AOC), a nonprofit professional group that promotes careers in the defense industry.

Hines, from Staten Island, N.Y., and Stigliano, from Mineola, N.Y., were each awarded $3,000 toward tuition for the spring 2009 semester. This marks the 19th consecutive year that a Manhattan engineering student has won scholarships in this academic competition, which is open to all computer and electrical engineering students who are residents of New York City, Westchester, Nassau or Suffolk Counties. Only three scholarships were awarded in 2008.

A banquet to honor the winners will be held on Friday, Nov. 14 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, N.Y. Dating back to 1989, Manhattan engineering students have won more than $40,000 in scholarships from AOC in competition with some of the finest engineering schools in the metro area.

AOC is an international organization with more than 14,000 members and more than 100 corporate participants who are focused on the science and practice of electronic warfare and related disciplines.

WISHMAKER 2008 TO BE HELD SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19TH

Brookhaven, NY- The Dowling College Lacrosse team and Dowling College Athletics will play host to the 1st annual Wishmaker Fall Classic Tournament at Golden Lions Field on Sunday, October 19th.

Thanks to the participating schools of the tournament, Dowling College, Manhattan College, C.W. Post, and Sacred Heart University, all proceeds from the event will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Division II Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has a longstanding commitment to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the heartfelt wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The student-athlete group has raised almost $500,000 since the launch of its fundraising initiative for the charity, with the most recent efforts marking the largest amount raised by the group in any single academic year.

“We’re very excited about this event as this is a very important initiative to not only Dowling, but also Division II athletics as a whole.” said Men’s Lacrosse head coach and event organizer Tim Boyle. “We have a lot of great teams coming out this first year and we hope to gain even more momentum each following Fall Classic.”

50/50 raffles will be taking place as well as raffles for prizes donated by the various institutions and sponsors. In addition, a tailgating party will take place to the east of the main field all day. Come show your support and root on your favorite team for a good cause! See below for a list of the day’s events:

10:00am- Manhattan College vs. Dowling College

[JR: No idea where it is, but might be worth a drive by from the MC alums. The Future Jaspers might be surprised at some alumni support. I would be to.]
