w
new programs keep pace
with a high-tech world
Message from the

A
I y now, you've noticed a few changes have been
'made to our La Salle Magazine. They're indicative
of an evolution going on in all areas of the University —
in administration, academics, and in our commitment to
alumni and friends. Some of this is detailed in the follow-
ing pages of this issue, but please allow me to put this
evolution in context first.
In the past year, the University has begun to introduce
a series of new programs and majors that will prepare our
students for leadership in the contemporary, high-tech
economy. New programs such as Integrated Science,
Business and Technology (ISBT), Digital Arts and
Multimedia Design (DArt), the E-Commerce
Institute, and our new Information Tech-
nology major are all in keeping with the
Christian Brothers' tradition of educating
students in the disciplines they need for
success in the workplace while also pro-
viding them with a liberal arts founda-
gg^ti^^ tion. The response of current and
^"^B^ prospective La Salle students to these
programs has been gratifying. And,
in the case of our unique
E-Commerce Institute —
open to students from all
majors — La Salle has
received excellent cover-
age in The Wall Street
Journal and The New
York Times, as well as
in the local media.
The sense of posi-
tive momentum at
La Salle is reinforced
by the strong recruit-
ing activity we are
seeing on campus,
as a broad range of
employers seeks to
attract our talented,
well-grounded stu-
dents. And there
are many other
trends that point to
a bright future for
La Salle, including
a record number of
'** applications for this
year's freshman class, as well as more graduate students,
more women, and more resident students enrolled than
ever before.
In the midst of all these favorable trends and exciting
innovations. La SaUe's continuing development as a premier
educational institution remains firmly rooted in the 300-
year-old tradition of the Christian Brothers. La Salle's edu-
cation continues to be values-based. We remain committed
to excellent teaching that prepares students for the changing
economic, social, moral, and religious challenges of our
society. As part of a Lasallian education, we also continue
to foster student involvement in conununity service.
Just as La Salle is launching innovative programs
while remaining firmly rooted in its traditional mission,
so too, this magazine is undergoing changes without los-
ing sight of the audience it is meant to serve. There is a
new, more contemporary look and style to the magazine.
More important, there is also a wider range of stories to
keep you informed about what is happening on campus,
what our students are achieving, and how alums of all
ages are helping to build their communities and careers.
Occasionally, I will also take advantage of these pages to
share my perspective with you on matters of special
importance to La Salle.
All in all, I hope these innovations in La Salle Magazine
not only help to keep you informed about our alma mater
but also serve to strengthen your relationship with the
University. To sustain the University's positive momentum,
and to achieve even higher levels of excellence in all
areas of our values-based education. La Salle needs your
active involvement. As I visited with alums around the
country in my first year as President, I made one message
very clear: "Come back to La Salle." You can't catch the
excitement at a distance. So return for a visit. Meet with
the students. Enjoy a class reunion event or reconnect
with faculty.
Your involvement adds immeasurable value to the
La Salle community as it progresses into the new century.
I hope to see you on campus soon.
Warmest regards.

By Maureen Piche
La Salle introduces several innovative science and technology
programs designed to propare students for a rapidly evolving future
I a Salle University, a respected
liberal arts institution for almost
140 years, has gone high-tech.
In very short order, the school's
roster of business, liberal arts, and
nursing programs has evolved to
include some of the most forward-
thinking science and technology
programs in the country.
But the old traditions weren't left
in the dust in favor of the new com-
puter age. In fact, creators of the
University's most recent additions
have taken pains to integrate the lat-
est technical advances into the other
estabhshed degrees. The end result:
a graduate who is well-grounded in
the basics, but who also is prepared
to constantly anticipate the rapidly
changing future.
If an English major wants to learn
how to write and design material for a
Website, she can sign up for the new
Digital Arts and Multimedia Design
(DArt) program. A student consider-
ing a career in science or technology,
but who also wants to know more
about how his company is run, can
enroll in the Integrated Science,
Business and Technology (ISBT) pro-
gram. And ail students, regardless of
major, can take advantage of the first-
of-its-kind Electronic Commerce
Institute, a program that anticipates a
near future when almost every profes-
sional will rely on the World Wide
Web to promote his or her business.
Those most familiar with the
Lasallian teaching traditions of the
Christian Brothers say these seem-
ingly radical additions are completely
in step with their ideologies.
"I've attended meetings with presi-
dents and chief academic officers from
other Christian Brothers universities
around the world," said Dr. Richard
Nigro, La Salle University Provost.
"I found a fascinating and powerful
combination of broad liberal arts edu-
cation and pre-professional programs
at these schools. A broad education
with a practical side to it is a hallmark
of Christian Brothers institutions."
"Academic institutions have a
challenge in a sense — nothing can
stay the same, we have to evolve," he
added. "But at the same time, we
want to preserve the past and trans-
mit some of that. Evolution shouldn't
mean radical breaks with the past."
Nigro came to La Salle 2 1/2
years ago, when then-President
Brother Joseph Burke and the Board
of Trustees had already decided it
was time to take a hard look at how
well the University was responding
to the emerging needs of its stu-
dents, and the world.
"La Salle was poised for change.
It was just a matter of considering
our strengths and finding our niche,"
Nigro said.
In 1998, the University set up a
planning group headed by School of
Provost Dr. Richard Nigro
is the creative force
behind nearly a dozen
science and technology-
related programs.

Over the past two years, these new programs have been approved
and added to La Salle's offerings:
• E-Commerce Institute, MBA. Specialization, and certificate program
• Integrated Science, Business and Technology bachelor's degree
• Digital Arts and Multimedia Design bachelor's degree and certificate program
• Information Technology bachelor's degree
• Nutrition bachelor's degree
• Speech-Language-Hearing Science five-year bachelor/master's degree
• Licensed Practical Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing
• Organizational Dynamics bachelor's degree completion program
• Executive Master of Business Administration
• Global Management of Technology master's degree
Arts and Sciences Dean Barbara
Millard. The committee eventually
focused on the broad issues of sci-
ence and technology — two areas in
which La Salle historically has
excelled. And, Nigro points out, these
are also expected to be high-demand
fields for some time to come.
Nigro said it didn't make sense to
let other universities comer the
market on developing science and
technology programs when La Salle
already had the infrastructure in
place to create a few of its own.
"Some of these areas of study are
just starting to be defined, so why
don't we define them'?" he said.
"We have a lot of talented and ener-
getic people here ready to develop
these programs. And the academic
leadership. Deans Greg Bruce
(School of Business), Millard, and
Zane Wolf (School of Nursing), are
as creative a group as one is likely
to find anywhere."
First on the agenda was a Digital
Arts and Multimedia Design pro-
gram, which "builds a curriculum at
the intersections of science, tech-
nology, fine arts, and communica-
tion," Nigro explained. This began
as an undergraduate major — an
unusual degree program that allows
a typical liberal arts student to
apply her knowledge to the world
of computer design. It has since
grown to include a post-baccalaure-
ate degree program, and beginning
this fall, an evening and weekend
degree program.
La Salle faculty and staff have
met with representatives from many
different organizations and business-
es to hear their needs, specifically
what kind of graduate they would
find most indispensable.
"We moved quickly to start the
E-Commerce Institute, the first
program of its kind, so that every
student would have the opportunity
to explore his or her future potential
on the World Wide Web," Nigro said.
La Salle's E-Commerce Institute
already has attracted national atten-
tion. The Institute is open to any
La Salle student, regardless of major,
who desires a working knowledge
of the "dot com" environment.
Institute Fellows attend lectures by
e-commerce professionals, and classes
with e-commerce components.
Building on that. La Salle now
also offers a six-month certificate
program in electronic commerce on
weeknights and weekends. Individ-
uals can specialize in two fields:
information technology (which
includes Website design and
programming) and marketing and
management (which will focus on
operating an e-commerce endeavor).
The soon-to-be-launched Inte-
grated Science, Business and Tech-
nology program was developed with
the gracious help of James Madison
University in Virginia. Nigro says the
program evolved after a contingent
of La Salle faculty and staff paid a
reconnaissance visit there.
James Madison University had
already begun an Integrated Science
and Technology (ISAT) program in
answer to a plea from the Virginia
legislature. In the late '80s, a number
of high-tech companies in Virginia
were alarmed to find many of their
mid-level jobs were not being filled.
The commonwealth decided under-
graduate studies should be where
those needs would be met, and issued
a challenge to colleges to come up
with programs.
Nigro said the very same short-
ages were being felt in the greater
Philadelphia area. "By the mid-
1 990s, we were hearing about the
need for 'knowledge workers' —
workforce development."
After a second visit, and a close
study of how the program worked.
La Salle's team came back with a rec-
ommendation to implement a similar
program, but with one big alteration —
the addition of a business component.
4 I La Salle Magazine
Most professionals shouldn't just
rest on their particular area of
expertise, Nigro explained. Every
worker should have some knowl-
edge of information systems, orga-
nizational behavior and organiza-
tional decision-making, among
other things.
"It's not just about being the best
scientist or technical person, but
knowing how to apply those abilities
in different contexts," Nigro said.
The importance of a comprehen-
sive outlook toward one's career will
continue to be a theme of many of
La Salle's soon-to-be-added pro-
grams. "The genie is out of the bot-
tle. We don't want to stop it now,"
he said.
Beginning this fall, students who
want a global perspective on the
world of business can apply for a
Master's Degree in Global Manage-
ment of Technology. Those involved
in the program will study here and
in Germany. An Executive M.B.A.
designed for physicians, engineers,
and scientists will also be intro-
duced in Fall 2000. And the School
of Nursing will offer a five-year
Bachelor's/Master's Degree in
Speech-Language-Hearing Science,
anticipating the medical concerns of
the aging baby boomer generation.
But, Nigro is quick to point out,
science and technology aren't the
only areas undergoing changes.
Faculty and administrators are dis-
cussing a Master's Degree in
English, and other additions to liber-
al arts. "We're not becoming a one-
trick pony here," he said. "The situa-
tion with science is complex and
involved, but it's not the only area
for expansion. We're going to keep
moving in all directions to keep
improving and adding to what we
already have." L

Digital Arts and Multimedia Design Program Turns Computers into Artistic and Promotional Tools
D
[ he computer is our friend.
This is a statement guaranteed to stir up controver-
sy at workplace water coolers across the country. Most
professionals have a computer sitting somewhere in their
offices, but not all are yet aware how this mysterious piece of
equipment can improve their job performance, promote their
business, and just generally make their lives easier
La Salle University's new Digital Arts and
Multimedia Design (DArt) major and cer-
tificate program seek to demystify
computers, and illustrate their use-
fulness to students of every liberal
arts persuasion.
Those of us bombarded with the
"dot com" commercials on TV are
well aware computers have become
important informational resources
and consumer venues. Businesses
that want to grab potential customers
have to make sure they're noticed in
the electronic world of the Web.
They need Web page experts who
can help them do that.
"The Web is the growing com-
munication tool. Everybody will
soon be communicating through
rt, " said Peggy McCoey, DArt Program
Director "In order to function in the 21st
century, you're going to need to be Web-sawy.
"There are very few people out there who really have the
expertise right now — it's such a new and developing technol-
ogy. To stay a step ahead, this program will give you some
of the groundwork."
The undergraduate major allows day, evening, and
weekend students to take a variety of courses in fine arts,
psychology/human computer interaction, communication,
computer science, English and Web commerce. They're
designed to broaden students' core digital design require-
.^fS^Kv
/-/-I
ments, and let students create their own focus. They can
also participate in cooperative education assignments and
internships that give them on-the-job experience. Graduates
will have the skills to become Website Administrators,
Interactive Web Magazine Publishers, and Graphical User
Interface Developers.
"There's no other program in the Philadelphia area that
allows a student to take creative, artistic abilities and blend
them so well with other disciplines,"
McCoey said. "The computer isn't the focal
point — it becomes the tool.
"This is an arts program in the
plural sense. Not just fine arts, not
just English, not just music — it's
a merger of all three. Plus, it's
communication techniques,
marketing overviews and
human interactions."
The five-course Digital Arts
and Multimedia Design certificate
program assists people who either
want to expand their computer skills,
or go into a new facet of Internet
development. It was created for
adult students who are looking for
a series of classes in computer design,
but who don't want to go through a full degree program.
The certificate program emphasizes hands-on learning.
In only ten months (six-week semesters), students are
armed with a whole slate of Web techniques and digital
design skills. Students will be able to develop multimedia
documents, build attractive Websites, and send and retneve
Internet information. McCoey said professionals don't need
to have any particular degree to take part in the certificate
program, although basic computer skills are helpful.
"We're the only school that offers this set of studies,"
McCoey said. "Other programs concentrate on either the art
or the technological aspects. We cover both."

E-Commerce Institute:
A Real Program about Virtual Business
By Jon Caroulis
□
ccounting Professor Paul Brazlna has never been
busier or more active than since he proposed last
' summer to start an Electronic Commerce Institute
for students at La Salle.
While e-commerce programs are popping up all over
the country, virtually all of them have been for business
majors. La Salle's Institute is designed for all students,
regardless of major or even career goals. It began last
September, and more than 350 students are working to
become "Fellov/s" of the Institute.
There's more. The University is offering a certificate
program for working professionals to learn about
e-commerce, and this
August the School of
Business Administration
will begin offering an
M.B.A. with a concentra-
tion in e-commerce.
Interest in the Institute and
certificate program was so
great that Brazina needed
to hire an assistant director
to handle the volume of
phone calls, e-mails, and
other details.
"This isn't a fad," said
Brazina. "It's here to stay.
We just happen to be one
of the first schools in the
country to take the initia-
tive in teaching it not just for business students, but for
all students."
People are noticing. The Institute has been written
about in publications such as The New York Times, The
Wall Street Journal, the Christian Science Monitor, and
the Philadelphia Inquirer
This attention indirectly led to the creation of the certifi-
cate program. Brazina was flooded with calls from people
who wanted to learn about e-commerce by attending the
Institute. He had to inform them that the program was only
for degree-seeking students.
But the volume of calls, along with business and
government leaders telling Brazina and La Salle officials
that the region's workforce needed to catch up with
electronic commerce, led to the certificate program,
one of the first of its kind in the nation. (Students will
take eight courses on weeknights to learn the basics of
the field.) The University also is looking to offer the
certificate program to local corporations to train their
managers in e-commerce.
Currently, electronic commerce accounts for about
3 percent of the nation's gross national product — and it's
Accounting Professor Paul Brazina instructs a class in the latest

growing. "Any company not thinking about the Internet as
a distribution and customer service channel is in the dark
ages," said Steve Andriole, Senior Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., a holding
and operating company of Internet-centric companies.
"It's important that employees in ever/ field have an
appreciation for e-commerce architectures, platforms,
and business models," added Andriole, who has con-
sulted to the Institute.
"E-commerce is not a stand-alone specialty, it's a
new way of doing business, and it has to be integrated
within an organization," Brazina said. "My idea was to
make e-commerce edu-
cation available to all
students, regardless of
discipline, and integrate
it into the curnculum.
"The term 'e-com-
merce' would seem to
indicate business. It's
really more than
business; it's the use of
information, and that use
of information does have
a financial aspect to it.
Yet it's really more a new
way to disseminate
information on a global
basis. That's why it's
important for a person
who's an English major who might want to publish online.
Or a nursing student can learn about healthcare delivery
online — the management of cases and sharing of reme-
dies. For students in the arts and sciences, e-commerce is
a way for them to share their expertise online.
"We have graduate students in religion and psychology
who are Fellows of the Institute. When they work in men-
tal health centers or in ministries, they will understand
how they can use e-commerce to benefit their patients
and parishioners," Brazina said.
To become a Fellow, students must complete either
approved courses that deal with e-commerce, or lectures by
industry experts in e-commerce. Students will submit a
research paper and complete 40 hours of professional activi-
ty related to e-commerce, which can include a co-op job or
internship and/or consulting to a business.
"When Paul came to me with this idea, I thought it
was right on the money," says Business School Dean
Greg Bruce. "We'd been talking about this for a year
(e-commerce education) and we didn't want to offer a
degree program. We felt it should be more application-
ohented and tied into the curriculum."

A Potent and Practical Combination
Integrated Science, Business and Technology Program
Answers Needs of Today's Job Market
By Jon Caroulis
l"^^ ary Ubbens and Megan Ann Jensen are a couple
I I'i I of nnavericks In La Salle's academic histon/.
IB™ When the two enrolled at La Salle in the fall
of 1999, they were planning to earn degrees in
Integrated Science, Business and Technology — a pro-
gram that didn't even officially exist yet.
An innovative approach to combining business knowl-
edge with a technological background, ISBT had no cours-
es, no teachers, and no listing
in any course catalogue.
But Ubbens and Jensen
realized the commitment
the University had to the
program, and came to
La Salle planning to get an
ISBT degree once the pro-
gram became official. (The
two spent their freshman
year taking core curriculum
and pre-ISBT courses.)
"I just thought it would
be neat to help start it,"
said Jensen, who is from
Hope, Maine. "It would be
fun to do."
Jensen had an interest in envi-
ronmental science when she came to an open house at
La Salle. There, she met Dr. Nancy Jones, Director of
the ISBT program. Jensen learned about ISBT and how
she could study environmental science and combine it
with a business component.
Ubbens had an interest in studying biology, but
like her parents, was intrigued by how science and busi-
ness are combined with ISBT "I thought the applica-
tions to business and technology were really interesting,
plus it would help me get a better job when I graduat-
ed," said Ubbens, who is from Arlington, Va.
"I think it certainly gives her a better chance of
employment when she graduates," said her father. Bill
Ubbens. "It seems to have a lot of potential for making
her skills marketable." He said his daughter wasn't quite
sure what area of biology she wanted to pursue, but
with ISBT, she'll have an opportunity to get practical
experience with business and technology — experience
that will help her select a particular field.
This past Januan/, ISBT became "official" when vari-
ous University committees and governing boards
approved its curriculum. But the program was moving
along well before that.
Last summer the Admissions Office hired Jim
Plunkett, '94 to recruit ISBT students. That Plunkett
would recruit for only one program was unheard of in
college admission circles; that he would be promoting a
program that didn't officially exist was daunting.
Jones, who is an associate professor of chemistry,
traded in her class and lab assignments to handle such
ISBT chores as recruiting an advisory board, getting a
logo created, ordering supplies for college fairs, and in
general learning a new approach.
ISBT differs from traditional
science programs in three
ways. The curriculum
adds a focus on social and
business issues relevant
to the applications of sci-
ence and technology.
ISBT students will gain
extensive experience in
team-building and in using
computer technology as
a problem-solving tool.
And students will learn
science and math con-
cepts not through specific
courses, but as compo-
nents of ISBT classes. For
example, students might not take
calculus courses, but will learn principles of calculus in
ISBT courses.
"This program will build on La Salle's strengths by
making the connections among the ethical and moral
dimensions, as well as the scientific and business
aspects of these real-world problems," said Jones. An
important attribute of ISBT graduates will be their ability
to acquire quickly the necessary information and knowl-
edge relevant to a specific problem context, she added.
For more than two years, Jones, Provost Dr. Richard
Nigro and other La Salle faculty and administrators have
been developing the ISBT program, modeled after a
program at James Madison University but containing a
higher concentration of business courses in its curriculum.
La Salle invited more than 20 area business leaders to join
an ISBT Advisory Board and consult on curriculum matters.
Peter J. Julian, Senior Vice President and Chief
Information Officer at Crown Cork & Seal Company, and
a member of the advisory board, said he was impressed
with the program because "it not only deals with the
specific Information Technology focus but also with
surrounding business issues such as finance, manufac-
turing, supply chain, etc. The program is current,
effective, and encompasses a sound technical as well as
functional business series of topics."

In the second week of May,
where the gleaming ribbon of the
Schuylkill River winds through
green Fairmount Park, one of the
unusual sporting pageants of our
times will take place. More than 100
colleges from all over the country will
participate in the 62nd Dad Vail
Regatta, the championship of small
college rowing. If things go according
to recent form, local schools will dis-
tinguish themselves. Temple will do
well in the mens varsity eight and
Villanova's women may well domi-
nate their events. St. Joe's will make a
respectable showing in several events.
But that's just on the water. Off the
river, behind the scenes, doing all the
work that goes into making such
a huge gathering a
success.
w\^Y R^L^
THE WATERS, BUT U SALL i
there is only
one school that counts.
As it has for decades now.
La Salle will own the Dad Vail. Five
of the last six presidents of the Dad
Vail have been La Salle grads.
Although the current president,
Jim Hanna, is a Georgetown grad,
La Salle people will dominate this
year's committee. Of the first 20 offi-
cials listed in the program, 15 will be
from La Salle. Throw in all the warm
bodies involved in 1 8 committees
working on everything from referees
and timers to the regatta's internet
Website, and another 30 La Salle peo-
ple (or spouses and children) will be
helping to make the huge regatta run
smoothly. Officially, the race is now
called the Sunoco Dad Vail Regatta.
Unofficially, it could be called the
La Salle Dad Vail.
How this came to be is rooted in
the decade following World War II
when La Salle first got into rowing.
It was a remarkable era in sports for
what had been a small college, for
almost 100 years little known outside
Philadelphia. But in a few years,
beginning in the late '40s, La Salle
made itself a national name.

This occurred, first in basketball with
NIT and NCAA championships, but
also in track and field and swimming,
where its programs were powerful,
and athletes such as Joe Verdeur,
Al Cantello, and Ira Davis achieved
Olympic distinction.
As successful as these teams
were, they were in some respects
less impressive than what the crew
achieved. At least the basketball,
track, and swimming coaches got
paid. When La Salle began rowing,
its first coach. Jack Bratten, was a vol-
unteer. But he took a small group of
oarsmen, some of whom had rowed
in high school at La Salle High and
West Catholic, and turned them into
La Salle's first Dad Vail champion in
1951. The next coach, the legendary
Tom "Bear" Curran, whose crews
won five Dad Vails, did get paid but
his remuneration was a token. Curran
survived as a beer salesman, but he
was also a hard-driving, hugely popu-
lar man who coached rowing because
he loved it. They called him the Bear
because no other animal came close.
The crew did not have its pick of
superb athletes. With some notable
exceptions, the people who take to
rowing are not depriving a school's
football or basketball teams of their
stars, although football players some-
times use the sport to keep in shape
off season. But what they all have, or
develop, are endurance and determi-

There are no better-conditioned ath-
letes in any sport, and often the dif-
ference between victory and defeat,
in those last 20 or 30 strokes — when
your arms feel like lead, your legs
are mashed potatoes, your fingers
can barely grip the oar, and you are
sucking air as if every breath may
be your last — is simply the will to
win. In the '50s, only a handful of
La Salle students came out for crew;
in most years, freshmen did not
even have eight oarsmen. Half of
those who tried out had never rowed
before, and the bow man had the
disturbing habit of falling out of the
boat now and then.
There were far fewer crews in the
Dad Vail in those days, but the com-
petition was just as strong, if not
stronger than today. Brown,
Dartmouth, and Rutgers all had Dad
Vail winners, and much larger rowing
programs. All of them soon moved up
in the '50s to major college rowing,
racing against the strong Ivy League
crews. The Ivies have always had
large, well-financed programs.
A La Salle student of statistics noted
in the "50s that Penn's rowing budget
exceeded La Salle's entire athletic
budget. Penn put a dozen boats on the
water every day, their gleaming red
and blue oars a contrast to the usually
scuffed up oars La Salle used.
But what La Salle did have in
abundance was something few
schools could match — confidence and
spirit. There is something about those
cold, wet afternoons in the thin
twilight of early spring that bonds
oarsmen. It is, after all, called crew,
and it is the epitome of teamwork.
In La Salle's case, it also seems to
generate an uncommon loyalty to
the school and the sport of rowing.
"It's interesting that the university
board of directors has two oarsmen,
Frank Stanton. '51 and myself," says
Ken Shaw, '64, who stroked crews in
the early '60s and is still an active
oarsman today. Stanton stroked one of
La Salle's first Dad Vail Winners in
1951. "I don't think any other sport
has two people on the board."
In those days. La Salle had its own
boathouse. The high school and col-
lege crews shared what had been orig-
inally (and is again today) known as
Crescent Boat Club. La Salle Rowing
Association survived through the '50s,
but barely. It was a constant struggle
to raise money to maintain the 19th-
century building, much less provide
expensive equipment for the crews,
which rowed during the summer after
school ended. The club crews often
borrowed boats from the college and
high school. Many gray-haired men
and women remember fondly the boat
house parties, which raised enough
money to keep the lights and water on
for another month.
The river rat closeness produced a
rowdy camaraderie. The university
had a victory song whose lyrics can-
not be reprinted. It was often heard
echoing from the upstairs locker room
after an Explorer victory. The high
school and college oarsmen became
friendly, and rowed with and against
each other in the summer club pro-
grams. Boys from La Salle High and
West Catholic first met as competi-
tors, then often rowed together in
college. Being around great oarsmen,
such as the late John B. Kelly, Jr., of
Vesper Boat Club, who participated in
four Olympics, helped young oarsmen
move up from mediocrity to champi-
onship caliber. There was even some-
thing glamorous about the grueling
workouts. Jack Kelly, John's father,
was an Olympic champion and a
sports legend of the '20s, and one of
Philadelphia's most powerful men. He
was often seen around the boathouses,
sometimes with his great-looking
Spring 2000 I 9
daughter who went on to become
Princess Grace of Monaco.
Jack Kelly's Olympic doubles
partner. Charley Mcllvaine, coached
La Salle High and his three sons
rowed there. These boys, and their
friends, were heirs to a winning tra-
dition. Three of the University's Dad
Vail champions of the '50s were
stroked by men who had rowed at
La Salle High. Another came from
West Catholic.
La Salle won six Dad Vail
Regattas in the '50s, and because
so many of the oarsmen in those
boats were from Philadelphia, the
Schuylkill remained for them a place
of pride and nostalgia. Many contin-
ued to row for years on the club
level, and they always enjoyed com-
ing back to the scene of their college
and high school triumphs. They
became officials of the dozen rowing
clubs along boathouse row, as well as
the Schuylkill Navy, the governing
body of local rowing. Some began
working as officials in various
Schuylkill Navy activities shortly
after graduation. Gradually, they
were joined by others. Wives got
involved. Eventually children.
The Dad Vail grew from just a few
races for men, to include dozens of
events for men and women, and two
weight divisions. Every year, more
colleges showed up, as rowing
became more popular. In the early
'50s only Penn and La Salle among
Philadelphia colleges had crews.
Today there are eight local colleges
competing, most of them with men's
and women's programs.
The major trophies awarded to
winning crews each year reflect
La Salle's contribution. Former
La Salle Coach Jack Bratten's name
is on the overall point trophy. Jack
and Nancy Seitz (now deceased, he
was a La Salle coxswain in the '50s,
and later. Dad Vail President) is the
trophy for the women's point winner
Richard O'Brien, '52 and the late
Tom Loschiavo, '57 have trophies
named for them.
As the regatta grew, so did the
numbers of people needed to run it.
Year by year, it became more and
more a La Salle-run event. Just reg-
istering the close to 3,500 athletes
oarsmen who show up from all over
the country is a big job. La Salle
people become water traffic cops,
controlling the hundreds of racing
shells that crowd the river, headed to
and from the race course. Sometimes
it falls to an Explorer to make a
tough choice, as was the decision of
Jack Galloway, '57 two years ago to
postpone the regatta because heavy
rainfall that weekend made the
Schuylkill too dangerous. It was a
hard call because many of the crews
who had come a great distance could
not stay around to compete when the
racing began on Monday. John Dever,
'57, who rowed in two Dad Vail
championship boats in the '50s, and
who has been involved in boathouse
row activities ever since, sums it up:
"Some people probably think it's a
cUque, but it really isn't. Anybody
can get in. But you have to be willing
to work. It's a lot of work. And it
seems that La Salle guys just like to
do it, and when they need help they
ask other La Salle guys. It's been
going on for years, but anybody who
wants to work can get in."
For perspective. Temple has domi-
nated the varsity eight race for the last
two decades, winning 15 Dad Vails.
And yet almost none of the many peo-
ple associated with all those crews has
worked on the regatta. The few who
have are related to La Salle grads.
Bob Morro, '58, a La Salle Dad
Vail winner from the '50s and secre-
tary of the Dad Vail today, says some
of the longtime trojans didn't realize
what they were getting into when they
signed on years ago.
"I just always enjoyed doing it,"
says Morro. "In the beginning years it
was a lot of fun. We used to have
lunches and see the coaches, and have
fun. Interestingly enough, the officials
seemed to come from the Dad Vail
championship crews. I think it was the
camaraderie, seeing the same coaches
and officials year after year. But today,
we don't even have time to do that.
Now, it's just a lot of work."
And as usual, this year those
trojans will be Explorers. L

•GRAND. OLD. PARTY
-^ It's a one-stop shop for the Republican Convention
While driving his car with several
friends and listening to the radio.
Gregg Truitt, "92 heard that
Philadelphia would be hosting the
RepubUcan National Convention in
2000 — and a Ughtbulb went off in
his head.
Along with two other La Salle
alumni, Truitt founded POA
Interactive, and quickly — even
quicker than the Republican National
Party — constructed a Website,
www.gopphilly.com, which showcases
the region's businesses, services, and
attributes at a time when Philadelphia
will be in the world's spotlight.
"The idea behind gopphilly.com
is to build an online community of
businesses in Philadelphia and arm
them with cutting-edge applications
that capture convention and meeting
revenue," says Truitt.
"We've built a foundation of
nearly 300 businesses and presented
it to a worldwide audience of meeting
planners, delegates, and journalists
looking for information." Those
businesses are contracted and pay
monthly membership fees for the
marketing and design of their Web
pages on gopphilly.com.
"It's a cost-effective
way for small businesses
to get their feet wet on the
Internet, with no downside,
because of the phenome-
nal exposure surround-
ing the GOP Conven-
tion," he added.
But the Website is just
a springboard for the firm's
signature product,
E-Z Event, essentially an
online marketplace where
meeting planners and profes-
sionals pick dates for their
events, then initiate proposals with a
given city's restaurants and meeting
spaces; they, in turn, respond with
detailed offers.
Restaurants pay a fee to be a part
of the service and pay commissions
on bookings. Last year, American
businesses spent approximately $ 1 75
bilUon on travel and entertainment.
About one-fifth of that was spent on
dining. "That part, about $35 billion,
is what E-Z Event is positioned to
take advantage of," says Truitt.
POA's 14 employees are a deUcate
balance of "super-techs, digital artists,
and marketing animals," says Truitt.
The majority are La Salle alumni:
Vice President/Operations Tim
Stephens, '86, studied accounting;
Kevin Baird, "92, Vice President/Sales
and Marketing, studied philosophy.
Truitt studied English. Pat Doyle, '93,
a poUtical science major, is a Mar-
keting Specialist. Truitt's cousin. Bob

time when he graduates from La Salle
this May with a degree in communi-
cations. Additionally, Joe Truitt, '86,
and Drew Lombard, '88, serve on the
firm's Board of Directors.
"The La Salle factor gives us a
distinct advantage because we are all
able to communicate very effectively.
I tell people that La Salle's challeng-
ing curriculum readied each of us for
the rigors of Internet start-up," says
Gregg Truitt. "It was a culmination of
our experiences coming together."
A reporter for The Philadelphia
Business Journal (which recently
named Truitt one of the region's top
40 business people under 40) asked
him if he had been a computer sci-
ence major. "No, English," he replied.
"How does an English major
succeed doing business on the Web?"
asked the reporter.
Truitt said, "In the words of
Winston Churchill, 'Play for more
than you can afford to lose and you
will learn the game.'"
As a way of saying thanks to their

Charter Dinner 2000:
A Record-setting Fundraiser
For the second year in
a row, the La Salle
University Charter
Dinner/Leadership Award
Ceremony at the Union
League of Philadelphia was
a sold-out event, raising
hundreds of thousands of
dollars for student scholar-
ships and financial aid.
At this year's eighth
annual dinner in March,
longtime La Salle support-
er and entrepreneur
Charles J. Reilly, '62, was
honored with the La Salle
University Leadership
Award. The 360 friends of
La Salle in attendance, as
well as other supporters
not present, contributed
$250,000 in unrestricted
funds ($40,000 more than
last year's total). The
fundraiser has grown
steadily in importance
since it first began in 1992.
That year, a total of
$35,000 was raised.
Each year,
a committee
of La Salle alumni
and friends awards
the La Salle Uni-
versity Leadership
Award to an indi-
vidual who has
displayed out-
standing leadership
in the corporate,
civic, governmental,
or religious commu-
nities that shape the
quality of life in this
region. Reilly, co-founder
of the Charter Dinner, was
a natural choice as this
year's recipient.
Reilly is the founder of
Reilly Foam Corporation;
a founding partner of
Safeguard Biologicals and
Reilly Mita Industrial Real
Estate; and a general part-
ner in several Reilly Real
Estate partnerships. He
was given honorary mem-
bership in the worldwide
De La Salle Christian
Brothers' Order in 1997
for his faith, zeal, and gen-
erosity. The consummate
fundraiser, Reilly has
raised tens of thousands of
dollars in scholarship
money for La Salle
University and other area
educational institutions.
He is a University Trustee
with emeritus status
(1992-97), and a recipient
of La Salle's John J. Finley
Memorial Award in 1997
for outstanding service to
the University. He and his
wife, Kathleen, live in
Conshohocken.
The Charter Dinner
celebrates the founding of
La Salle College on March
20, 1863, and pays tribute
to the generations of
Christian Brothers,
laypersons, and clergy
whose dedication has
made La Salle University
the prominent institution
that it is today.
Proceeds from the
Charter Dinner/La Salle
University Leadership
Award Ceremony will
be used to enhance the
University's Scholarship
Fund, and for other
financial aid, benefiting
future generations of
La Salle students.

Preserving
the Past for
the Future
Many bequests to
La Salle touch
the future. Many touch
the past. This contribu-
tion accomplished both.
John L. McHale, '49,
recently donated
$12,000 to the La Salle
University Archives for
a Microtek ScanMaker
flatbed scanner and a
Tektronix Phaser 780
color laser printer. This
equipment will enable
state-of-the-art preser-
vation and reproduc-
tion of thousands of
photographs — 140
years of persons,
places, and events.
Part of McHale's
grant is also legacy-
minded. McHale has
commissioned Brother
Joseph Grabenstein, '73,
University Archivist, to
augment the first 40
years of La Salle's
limited Commencement
records (dating back to
1869) through research
at Philadelphia's Arch-
diocesan Archives and
other sites.
McHale, of Vero
Beach, Fla., and
Greenwich, Conn., has
made other contribu-
tions to La Salle over
the years. His support
also assisted construc-
tion of the Tom Gola
Arena. Among other
activities, he sponsors
the annual Leo Prize
(since 1997), honoring
a student's essay on a
Philadelphia-area
historical topic.

Grant Support
Exceeds Expectations
In recent months.
La Salle University's
Schools of Nursing,
Business Administration,
and Arts and Sciences
have received substantial
grants from a variety of
funding sources.
During the fall,
the School of Nursing
received a $50,000 grant
from the Helene Fuld
Health Trust. HSBC
Trustee, for scholarships
to students from disadvan-
taged backgrounds. The
grant is part of a program
that also seeks to encour-
age nurses to work in
medically underserved
areas upon graduation.
Five LPNs currently study-
ing for a Bachelor's degree
at La Salle will each
receive a $10.0000 schol-
arship. The project director
for the scholarship pro-
gram is Joanne Farley
Serembus, Director of
Undergraduate Nursing
Education at the
University.
In December, the
Lincoln National
Foundation awarded
a grant of $100,000 to
the School of Business to
establish a new computing
center in College Hall. The
center will augment new
University programs in
science, business and tech-
nology, and in electronic
commerce. The grant was
one of five that the founda-
tion, the philanthropic
arm of Lincoln National
Corporation, made to city
charitable and educational
groups. La Salle was the
only institution
of higher educa-
tion to receive
such a grant. The
project director for
this initiative is
Gregory O. Bruce, Dean
of the School of Business.
In February of this year,
the La Salle Neighborhood
Nursing Center received
a three-year grant of
$150,000 from the Patricia
Kind Family Foundation to
continue the support of a
program linking medically
uninsured children with
health care and related
insurance. The CHIPLINK
Program works through the
combined efforts of the
Pennsylvania Children's
Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) and the Medical
Assistance Program.
La Salle's CHIPLINK
program is the first of its
kind in Philadelphia and
was developed in response
to the growing number
of uninsured children
presented to La Salle's
Neighborhood Nursing
Center for primary health
care and other programs.
The CHIPLINK project
directors are Katherine K.
Kinsey, Ph.D., Director of
the La Salle Neighborhood
Nursing Center, and Ann
Linguiti Pron, Coordinator
of Primary Care Services.
In March 2000, the
Pennsylvania Department
of Education awarded a
$84,882 Link to Learn
grant to the University's
new Information Tech-
nology Program. Funds
will be used to develop
SIX
courses
that will be
offered as part of the
Information Technology
major and to acquire state-
of-the-art equipment for a
new Information Tech-
nology laboratory in Olney
Hall, the University's main
classroom building. The
new program will provide
students with appropriate
preparation to enter the
information technology
workforce once they
grad-
uate and will
enhance the quantity and
quality of information
technology professionals
entering the workforce in
Pennsylvania. La Salle's
was one of 26 projects
funded statewide out of 62
applications. The project
director is Linda J. Elliott,
Chair of the University's
Mathematics and
Computer Science
Department.
"At the Station," an oil painting by Raymond Kirsch,

A 63-Year Legacy
Brother John Owens Retires From La Salle's Registrar's Office
Student. Brother,
teacher, administra-
tor. These are just a few
of the hats Brother John
Owens. "41, has worn
throughout his 63-year
career — more than half
of which has been spent
at La Salle.
After dedicating his
Ufe's work to the ministr}-
of Christian education, the
82-year-old Brother retired
on January 10.
Affectionately known
as "Handsome John," Bro.
John has served as Dean
of Men. Director of the
Christian Brothers'
Community, and most
recently. Assistant
Registrar, since he joined
La Salle's administration
in 1963. Before that, he
spent 24 years at West
Catholic High School as a
teacher, vice principal, and
later, principal.
"Bro. John epitomizes
the best of Lasallian val-
ues," said a long-time
friend and colleague.
Brother Edward Sheehy.
"He is a humble, magnifi-
cent individual who has
done much for all the
dimensions of the La Salle
communiry, academically
and spiritually. He has
been a continual source of
strength and a tremendous
inspiration to the people
around him."
"For more than 30
years, Bro. John has
mastered the intricacies of
the roster and is now a
campus legend," said Vice
President for Enrollment
Services Ray Ricci. "He
has the great knack of
making everyone else look
good. When I was once a
relatively green regis-
trar, he made me
look like a sea-
soned veteran. He
is one of the most
generous and kind
people I have
ever known, always
thinking of this com-
munity and his
Brothers above
his needs."
A native
Philadelphian. the
Roman Catholic
High School
graduate was
invested in the
religious
habit in
Ammendale,
Md., in 1936,
and was per-
petually pro-
fessed in Ocean
City, N.J., in
1943. He earned
his Bachelor of
Arts from La Salle in
1941. Master of Education
from Villanova in 1945.
and received an
honorary
Doctor of
Pedagogy
from
La Salle in
1960.
On the occasion of his
60th anniversary in reli-
gious Ufe three years ago,
Bro. John reflected on his
commitment to the
Christian Brothers" educa-
tional mission. "When I
hear that one of the boys
or girls from West or
La Salle is making it big,
I just light up inside,"" he
said. "That"s the sort of
news that makes me
feel like my life has
had some purpose,
some meaning.
But 1 always
knew it would be
that way. That's
w hy 1 became a
Christian Brother.""
Although he"ll
surely be missed in
the Registrar's
office. Bro. John is
delighted to stay on
campus in the
Christian Brothers' res-
idence. "As long as Fm
staying here, Fm
happy,"" he said.

Martyred Brothers
Declared Saints
Pope John Paul U
recently declared
eight Spanish Christian
Brothers and their priest
isaints for their martyr-
Idom during the Spanish

The Brothers and
priest were killed
tyecause they were reli-
ffgious men engaged in

l^Pio, Benjamin Julian,
Augusto Andres, Benito
de Jesus, Aniceto Aldolfo
' and Jaime Hilario of
Tarragona, and Father
Inocencio de la
Immaculada.
In 1934, the Brothers
were accused and exe-
cuted because of the
religious influence they
had on their students.
The Brothers, residents
of Turon in northwestern j
Spain, were reported to
have ignored the govern-
ment's ban on teaching
religion and openly
escorted their students
to Mass, declaring not
only their faith, but also
their commitment to
their students.

Enrollment Milestones ^»
A quick scan of the statistics will tell you La Salle
has been having a few milestone semesters in
terms of applications and enrollment — and the
momentum does not appear to be slowing down.
Several records were broken in the Fall 1999
Semester, most notably, the highest day program
enrollment in almost a decade, and the largest
graduate programs enrollment ever The Spring
2000 semester promises to be even benen
"We're very pleased to see more and more
prospective students are discovering La Salle's
reputation for quality education and Christian
Brothers values," said Ray Ricci, Vice President for
Enrollment Services. "The combination of new,
in-demand programs, ease of application, and
strong recruiting efforts is really paying off."
Application and enrollment numbers have been
strong for the past couple years, Ricci pointed
out, but recent changes at La Salle have given
them an even greater boost in 2000. As of April I,
Ricci said the University had received 3.600
applications — the most in La Salle's history.
Among the contributing factors: Several new
majors now offered at La Salle have piqued
prospective students' interests. As much as 5
percent of inquiries are directed toward
programs such as Digital Arts and Multimedia
Design (DArt),and Integrated Science. Business
and Technology (ISBT).The admissions office has
also added a recruiter solely dedicated to
securing international student applications.
Ricci added that the University has made
applications for admission available over the
Internet to increase accessibility for students. And
while the quantity of applications has increased, the
quality of the applicants is slightly higher in terms
of high school credentials and SAT scores.
"We've also made a concerted effort to target our
student search program to go after students more
inclined to consider La Salle seriously." he said.
"We're getting a much better return on a smaller
recruiting pool."

As a boy, Matthew Bucko, M.D.,
'54, was taught to have faith in
miracles. Although the young Catholic
was a believer, he never imagined he'd
actually witness one.
At the close of a long career as
an ear-nose-and-throat specialist, the
seasoned doctor's faith — and med-
ical expertise — were put to the test.
In 1996, he was introduced to the
story of a young Bucks County girl
whose deafness had been cured after
her family prayed to Mother
Katharine Drexel.
Amy Wall, who had been diag-
nosed with moderate-to-severe deaf-
ness at age one in 1993, could barely
hear pots and pans banging
behind her head. Four
months later — after her
mother placed on Amy's
ears pieces of a nun's
habit worn by Mother
Katharine, and then
prayed — tests
showed Amy could
hear normally.
"This is an
extraordinary case of a
deaf child — living in a
world without sound —
who one day mysteriously
takes the hearing aids out of her
ears and watches Barney," Dr. Bucko
said. "That kind of reversal just
doesn't happen."
An unexplained act of nature, or a
possible miracle?
Dr Bucko was asked to find out.
In 1996, Monsignor Alexander
Palmieri (a patient of Dr. Bucko's
former partner. Stanley Farb, M.D.)
requested that Dr. Bucko examine
the scientific facts of Amy's case.
As the Chancellor of the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia and the Vatican's
Vice-Postulator of Mother
Katharine's cause for sainthood, he
knew it could possibly qualify as the
second and final miracle needed for
her canonization. (The first, in 1974,
was when a Bensalem boy's middle
ear bones grew back after prayers to
Mother Katharine.)
"I wasn't asked to prove whether
or not this was a miracle," explained
Dr. Bucko, who was appointed head
of the Archdiocese's medical review
team. "The Church needed to know
if Amy's case could be explained
from a medical standpoint. If it could
not be explained in terms of medical
science as we know it today, then the
Church calls it a miracle."
After a thorough examination of
the evidence. Dr. Bucko and
his team of physicians
arrived at an amazing
conclusion. "This case
defies medical expla-
nation," he said.
"Every other child
with nerve deafness
will go through life
Mother Katharine Drexel. the
Philadelphia socialite-turned'
nun who died in 1955. will be
anonized in 2000.
with hearing aids and imperfect
speech. No surgery or medicine could
ever cure what Amy had. It's just
remarkable — flabbergasting, really."
Dr. Bucko and other physicians
presented their findings to the
Vatican's Congregation for the
Causes of Saints in Rome in
February 1999. On Jan. 27, 2000—
a little more than three years after
the Church's official investigation
was opened — Pope John Paul II
decreed Amy's cure was a result of
Mother Katharine's intercession.

"The canonization process in the
Catholic Church is by no means an
easy one," Dr. Bucko said. "I had to
play the devil's advocate. I tried to
shoot holes in the evidence and
disclaim as much as possible, but
simply couldn't."
Not only was it an enormous
honor for him to be involved in such
an important case, but his faith has
been strengthened by the experience
as well. "Sometimes God has His
own purposes that we don't always
understand," he said. "I'm certainly
a believer."
Dr. Bucko and his wife, Judy,
plan to make the pilgrimage to Rome
with their two daughters in time for
the canonization on Oct. 1 .

Love at First Write
These are the days of instanta-
neous e-mails, constantly beep-
ing pagers, and ever-present cell
phones. The very act of writing a
longhand letter, tucking it in an enve-
lope, and entrusting it to a human
courier may, to some, seem a little
unnecessary — almost extravagant.
It's this very feeling of extrava-
gance— the impression that she was
worth the time
and effort of a
thoughtful and
heartfelt letter
— that may
have won the
heart of Krista
Hirschmann,
•94. The
writer, Kevin
Rodowicz,
D.O., "92, is now her husband.
Their story reads like the plot of
a Hollywood romance. Hirschmann
was a senior Communications/
History major at La Salle in the
spring semester of 1994. She wrote
a weekly column for the Collegian
student newspaper. Rodowicz was
completing his first year of medical
school on City Line Avenue, but he
wanted to use La Salle's comprehen-
sive, and quiet, Connelly Library to
study for exams. Rodowicz started
reading the student newspaper dur-
ing his visits to campus. That's
when Hirschmann's column caught
his attention.
"I loved the humor of her writing
— how she could cover different top-
ics so well," Rodowicz said. "I got to
the point where I was picking up the
paper just to read her column. I was
actually looking forward to the day it
came out."
He said he was so interested in
"finding out who she was as a per-
son," he decided to write her a letter,
and sent it care of the Collegian
ofSce. But rather than a straight-
forward letter of praise
he wrote an intriguing
mystery note, and
signed himself as a
secret admirer
"I remember
the letter smelled
of cologne."
Hirschmann said. "1
read it hiding behind a
notebook, because I
thought it was a practical joke."
But, she was also immediately attract-
ed to his writing style and sense of
humor She remembers telling a friend
after the first letter, "This sounds like
the kind of guy 1 would like to marry."
Hirschmann decided to test the
joke by placing an ad in the Collegian.
encouraging the mystery man to con-
tact her again. Rodowicz responded
with a dozen roses for Valentine's Day
and another letter, but he still would-
n't identify himself. He also provided
her with the reference number for a
book on the third floor of the library,
and told her she could leave future let-
ters to him inside the pages. The
book, one of the first clues he gave
about his identity, was about Bucks
County, where he grew up.
Over the course of several letter
exchanges, Rodowicz revealed he
was a '92 Biology major while at
La Salle, and he gave hints that
helped Hirschmann deduce that he
grew up in Ivyland. "Then it was
just a matter of looking through the
La Salle Class of '92 yearbook until
I found a Biology major from
Ivyland," Hirschmann said.
She discovered his identity, but
they still exchanged letters without
meeting. Hirschmann was in the
process of ending a relationship, and
didn't want to confuse things.
But one day in April 1994, about
four months after they started their
correspondence, fate lent a hand.
Hirschmaim recognized the face from
By Maureen Piche
the yearbook as she walked
past a group of men enter-
ing Connelly Library.
"We talked for two
hiuirs straight," she
recalls. "We immediate-
ly hit it off."
However, their letter-
writing days had only just
begun. After graduation that
May, Hirschmann headed off
to graduate school in Maine for two
years while Rodowicz continued his
sUidies in Philadelphia. Then both
lived in different parts of Florida for a
year. After that, Hirschmann stayed in
Florida to work on her Ph.D. for two
more years, while Rodowicz moved
back to Pennsylvania to start practic-
ing osteopathic medicine. "We were
dating for five years, and July of 1999
was the first time we lived in the same
city," Hirschmann said.
All through this long period of sep-
aration, the couple continued to write
to each other And they fell in love
through their letters and occasional
visits. "We say it was love at first
write," Hirschmann laughed.
Of course, their romantic story
ends with a fairytale wedding.
After the couple became engaged,
Hirschmann entered a contest held
by Reunite, the winemaking compa-
ny. The contest: describe your dream
wedding. The prize: $50,000 toward
wedding expenses. Hirschmann sent
in a description of a rustic wedding
set in rural Bucks County. They
didn't hear back the first year, but
after a second attempt, the couple
won. And on Oct. 16, 1999, they
were married at the Mercer Castle
in Doylestown, Pa. Their first dance
was to Jimmy Buffet's "Love in
the Library."
Today, Hirschmann is an adjunct
Communication professor at La Salle,
and Rodowicz is practicing medicine
in Allentown, where they reside.

Renaissance Woman
When Ann Gallagher, "99, was
pursuing her Master's
Degree in Theology at La Salle, she
stood out among her fellow class-
mates. Her projects had a creative
flair. She read the work of church
scholars as leisurely as her favorite
mystery novels. And, she was more
than twice their age.
After 50 years of being out of
school, Gallagher says she decided
to go back for her Master's degree
during a troubling time in her life.
She had come to a point where she
needed to evaluate her faith and
either leave or stay with the Church.
"I knew that I really needed to
understand and learn as much as I
could about my religion if I was
going to stay with it," she explains.
"So I decided to take classes at
La Salle and get my Master's. I was
really interested in learning more
about the history and origins of
my religion."
Raised by agnostic
atheist parents,
Gallagher was
always intrigued
by theology. /
Although she '
went to a
Quaker high
school, she had
very little experi-
ence with religious
practice. It wasn't until she
was in college in the 1940s that she
began to consider Catholicism.
"I had several very good friends
who were Catholic, and I started to
realize that intelligent people
believed in religion."
One of Gallagher's most out-
standing characteristics is that once
something has caught her interest,
she can't stop thinking about it until
she has researched its every aspect.
Gallagher's interest in Catholicism
was no different.
"At one point, I sat down and
read straight through St. Thomas
Aquinas. I was bored out of my
skull, but at the same time I was so
intrigued by it."
Soon, she converted to Catholicism
and began to enjoy going to church
with her friends.
"I'll never forget the first day I
went to Mass. It was the day after
Pearl Harbor, and the church was
jammed full of people. We had
taken the bus from campus to the
church, and my friends had given
the bus money to me to hold onto.
When they passed the collection
basket around, I got carried away
and put all of the bus money in it!
We had to walk home and we were
late for class."
Gallagher seems to have the same
enthusiasm for church today as she
did the first time. Now. she regularly
participates in her church's Bible
study group and she
recently put on a
play about the
history of reli-
gion, called
"Welcoming
the 21st," a
project she
originally
began working
on as a grad stu-
dent at La Salle.
The dramatization is
about seven women who represent
worship through the centuries, from
a first-century Jewish woman to a
20th-century American. The women
gather before the turn of the century
to plan how they will greet the 21st
century, their new neighbor.
"I picked all women characters
because they've been a bit ignored in
the past and they need to have their
voices heard," Gallagher says.
"Welcoming the 21st" was a big
hit, both inside and outside of class.
By Kate Miller, '99
Most recently, Gallagher and some
friends put on the play at Jesus House,
a retreat center in Wilmington, Del.
"We had a great time with it,"
Ann remarked. "One of my friends.
who played the 7th-century
Irishwoman, spent all summer learn-
ing the accent from an Irishman who
worked on the beach in Cape May.
The 14th-century British prioress
was played by a friend of mine who
is actually from England, so her
accent was flawless."
Aside from taking classes.
Gallagher also teaches at the Univer-
sity of Delaware's Academy of
Lifelong Learning, a continuing stud-
ies program for people age 50 and
over. A retired high school English
teacher, she says it's a pleasure to
return to her profession.
"I started out as a student," she
says. "I took art, history, and French.
Now I'm teaching a memoir-writing
seminar called 'Yesterday for
Tomorrow,' as well as a 'Pleasures of
Poetry' course. I'm just going to
teach people about poems I like,
from ancient to modem ones."
Gallagher's interest in just about
everything has earned her the nick-
name "Renaissance woman" from
her friends. However, she insists,
there is one thing she can't do — her
income taxes.

For Donnie, a Carr-load
of Achievements
When graduating senior Donnie
Carr finished his basketball
career on March 8. he had marked
2.067 points as La Salle's fourth all-
time scorer and the fifth Explorer to
reach the 2,0(X)-point plateau. The
others are Lionel Simmons (3.217).
Michael Brooks (2.628). Tom Gola
(2,461), and Steve Black (2.012).
Speedy Morris and Donnie Carr confer

Some other
La Salle highlights in
Carr's outstanding
career: first in career
three-point field
goals (308), sixth in
three's in a season
(99). seventh in field
goals made (683), sev
enth in career assists
(404). tenth in assists per
game (3.8), and 1 1th in
free throw percentage (.771
And in case you're wondering
what point total he might have
reached had he not missed five games
in his senior season due to pneumonia
the additional 100 would have given
him 2.167 — not enough to move
higher, but still a very good number.

zine, in conjunction with Dodge

one of the five honorable mentions.
The basic criterion: a student-

augmented by the
fact that her parents,

Clubs and Chapters
Dear La Salle Alumni,
As we start a new century.
La Salle's President, Brother Michael
J. McGinniss, '70, and I would like to
issue an invitation to all La Salle
alums across the country. We invite
you to help your alma mater by work-
ing in your own local areas to estab-
lish alumni clubs and chapters. Please
allow me to explain a little about
them, and why they're so important to
the University.
In this his first year as La Salle's
President, Bro. Michael has made it a
top priority to visit a number of alum-
ni groups, in areas as close as Bucks
County, and as far away as Chicago.
He's excited about what he's seen:
Alumni of all ages and backgrounds
are coming together because of a
shared loyalty to La Salle and a desire
to help new generations of students.

that clubs and chapters offer cama-

chance to contribute to future genera-
tions of La Salle students, as well as
the alma mater.
By way of definition, clubs are
loosely organized groups of alumni
who have La Salle and geographic
proximity as common affinities.
They occasionally meet for social
and business-related functions.
Chapters are clubs that have
received official recognition by the
La Salle Alumni Association. They
have a formal set of bylaws, recog-
nized leadership, and a calendar of
planned events. Their official recogni-
tion links them to, and entitles them
to, support from the Association.
La Salle alums have established two
such clubs to date — one in Florida and
the other in Washington, D.C. Several •
additional chapters are in the process
of gaining official charters.
Both clubs and chapters are open
to all interested alumni, regardless of
age, academic discipline, or extracur-
ricular activities.
Affinity groups or societies, on the
other hand, are usually dedicated to
something other than geographic loca-
tion, such as professional interests
(i.e. business or law). There is also an
alumnae affmity group in the process

alumni, or assisting with recruitment
and admissions.

Brother Arthur Bangs
Receives West Catholic's
Outstanding Grad Award
Brother Arthur J. Bangs, '53, has done more
than just teach for 50 years — he's spent
those five decades making a difference in young
people's lives.
The longtime La Salle professor and Campus

service and dedication to Greater Philadelphia youth.

to La Salle in 1969. Since then, he has been associ-
ated with the Counseling Center, Department of
Education. His greatest satisfaction, he says, is
working with young people in any capacity.

A Compassionate Presence
In Maryellen (McGettigan)
Glackin's line of work,
education doesn't just
enlighten — It saves lives.
For a year now, Glackin,
79, has served as adminis-
trator of the Philadelphia
Archdiocesan Office for
AIDS Ministry. In that role,
she works hard to be "a compassionate presence,
not only to those suffering, but to their families and
caregivers — to be non-judgmental, to be with people
in their suffering. Jesus was there with them in their
suffering, and as part of the Church, that is what we
are called to do."
Her interest is mainly in the educational aspects of
AIDS prevention. "I'm a mom with four teens, and I
really believe the way to stop the spread of the dis-
ease is through education."
Glackin said the AIDS Ministry sponsors many
presentations at middle and high schools, talking
about the dangers of drug use and risky sexual
behavior and relating them to the spread of the AIDS
virus. She said AIDS Ministry speakers also stress the
importance of strong families in children's lives,
"helping family members to value each other. A lot
of times, youths turn to dangerous behaviors
because they feel they're not valued at home."
Glackin said she always had an interest in working
with young people, and it only increased during her
time at La Salle. "Brother Joseph Keenan convinced
me to double my major (psychology and religion),
and I ended up teaching religion for six years after
I graduated." She taught at Camden Catholic and
Archbishop Ryan high schools.
After putting her career on hold for a few years to
be a full-time mother, Glackin returned to work, as a
grief counselor in her home parish of Maternity
B.V.M., where she set up and conducted a bereave-
ment and grief ministry program.
She and her husband, Joseph, '77, live in
Philadelphia with their four children, ranging in
age from 11 to 17.

Col. McCioskey Named a
Knight of Malta
Chivalry is not
dead. And
La Salle graduates
continue to prove it.
One such alum-
nus, Colonel James
E. McCioskey, '68,
was recently hon-
ored for his life's
dedication to faith
and good works with
an invitation to join
one of the oldest and
most respected
heraldic orders in the world.
The Blue Bell, Pa., resident has been selected
as a Knight of Malta — Knight of Grace and
Devotion. The heraldic order, also known as the
Sovereign Military Order of Saint John, goes
back to the time of the Crusades — some 800 years.
The Knights are the oldest chivalric order in
existence today.
"This honor is well deserved as demonstrated
by Col. McCloskey's years of unselfish service to
his fellow man, active compassion for those less
fortunate, and being a standard bearer of hope.
These are qualities that have remained constant
over the past eight centuries for those individuals
who aspire to be a knight," said Timothy E. Zack,
Knight Commander for the Order of Saint John of
Jerusalem Knights of Malta.
The order began with a group of fighting
monks, who participated alongside the Crusaders
to hold fortresses and hospices across the Holy
Land in the 12th century. Today, the organization
is divided into a religious order, a religious insti-
tute of laymen, and an international order of
chivalry. Col. McCioskey belongs to the latter
order, whose main activities are religious and
charitable (hospital and medical assistance).
Col. McCioskey is a native-born Philadelphian,
and a 1968 distinguished military ROTC graduate
of La Salle. He served in Vietnam and was awarded
the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and the Combat
Infantryman's Badge. He recently retired as acting
commander of the 304th Civil Affairs Brigade. As a
civilian, he is president of a management consult-
ing and investment firm. He is the son of retired
La Salle administrator Jack McCioskey, '48. He and
his wife, Carol, have three children.

Letter from the President
I
Our ability to sustain
ttie Lasallian tradition
of excellence in values-
based education — and
to do it at an affordable
price — depends directly
on increased levels of
financial support from
private benefactors.
Dear Friends of La Salle:
On behalf of the entire
University community, I want
to offer my deepest thanks to
our loyal benefactors and supporters
for helping to make this past year so
successful for La Salle University.
The generosity and commitment of the
thousands of donors whom we recog-
nize here directly enable La Salle to
enhance academic programs, upgrade
campus facilities, maintain competitive
levels of financial assistance for stu-
dents, and continue our mission of
service to the diverse communities that
are La Salle's neighbors.
I also want to take this opportuni-
ty to share with you the details of key
accomplishments for the University in
the year just concluded. Foremost
among them are:
• The very encouraging results
from our fundraising efforts, with
unrestricted gifts and grants total-
ing $4.7 million, due in large
measure to the generous gifts
from John McShain Charities,
Inc., $2.89 million of which
was designated for unrestricted
giving. Spurred by a $125,000
challenge grant from the
University's Board of Trustees,
overall gifts and new pledges
totaled a record $12.8 million;
• The record number of applicants
for places in the University's
incoming freshman class as well
as the record number of graduate
students, women, and resident
students enrolled at La Salle;
• The continuing development of
new academic initiatives to pre-
pare our students for leadership in
the 2 1 St century. New programs in
Digital Arts and Multimedia
Design, our E-Commerce
Institute, and new majors in
Information Technology and in
Nutrition successfully completing
their first year in La Salle's cur-
riculum. Moreover, the
University's new Integrated
Science, Business and Technology
program, which began this
August, has attracted a strong
class of incoming students;
The development of a new core
curriculum across the University,
fostering an interdisciplinary
approach to learning and prob-
lem-solving, and the additional
creation of a new undergraduate
curriculum in our School of
Business Administration to
address the impact of emerging
technology on business;
The Business School's introduc-
tion of two highly selective, inno-
vative graduate programs: an
Executive M.B.A. Program
designed to develop leaders for
technology and science organiza-
tions; and a Master of Science
Program in Global Management
of Technology, in partnership with
Germany's Reutlingen University
of Applied Science. Both of these
exciting new programs began
classes in the Fall 2000 semester;
The success of our Bucks
County Campus, in Newtown,
Pa., which has reached capacity
evening enrollment three years
ahead of plan;
Advances in alumni relations
including successful alumni gath-
erings, which I visited in eight
cities across the country, and the
development of a new alumni
newsletter, which made its debut
in August;
2 Letter from the President
• The continuing strength and
recognition of our volunteer and
community service programs,
which involve the University's
students, faculty, staff, graduates,
and neighbors, especially through
our Ministry and Service Center,
the Neighborhood Nursing Center,
the Nonprofit Management
Development Center, and our
Department of Athletics" Project
Teamwork.
Looking ahead, we plan to build
on the strong foundation of these
achievements. Our highly regarded
School of Nursing, for example, is
developing a new major in Speech-
Language-Hearing Science and also
has very exciting plans to offer several
post-graduate specializations on the
Web. including Wound, Ostomy, and
Continence Nursing, Perioperative
Nursing, Women's Health, and
Gerontology.
In addition, the University has just
begun a Master Facilities Plan process
that will help us address the needs
La Salle faces in terms of plant and facil-
ities as we grow in the new millennium.
Most importantly, we continue to
look forward to preparing students for
the ever-changing economic, social,
moral, and political challenges of con-
temporary American society. In this
vein, the past year has seen significant
achievements in the process of contin-
uing and extending the University's
commitment to the spiritual and reli-
gious values at the heart of La Salle's
identity as a Catholic institution of
higher education in the 300-year-old
tradition of the Christian Brothers.
Examples include offering students the
opportunity to minor in Catholic
Studies as part of their overall educa-
tion; adding six more lay faculty/staff
participants — for a total of nine — in
the Lasallian Leadership Institute, to
develop a solid grounding in the vision
and principles of our founder, St. John
Baptist de la Salle; and integrating into
our new undergraduate core curricu-
lum a range of experiences that intro-
duces students to the values so vigor-
ously espoused by St. La Salle.
Clearly, then, the University's
future has many bright prospects,
but they come with major challenges
as well. Our ability to sustain the
Lasallian tradition of excellence in
values-based education — and to do it
at an affordable price — depends direct-
ly on increased levels of financial sup-
port from private benefactors.
So your continuing loyalty and
support will have a direct impact not
only on La Salle University as an insti-
tution but also on the lives of thou-
sands of people. I look forward to
working with you and with many new
supporters to help the University real-
ize, even more fully, its potential as a
positive force in our society.
Many thanks, again, for all that
you have done for La Salle and our
students.
Sincerely yours,
Michael J. McGinniss, F.S.C., '70
President
l/l/e continue to look
forward to preparing
students for the ever-
changing economic,
social, moral and
political challenges
of contemporary
American society.

Ways of Giving to La Salle
There are various ways of giving to
La Salle. Most gifts to the University
have taken the form of cash, clearly
the most convenient way of giving.
Such gifts are fully tax-deductible
and are vital to the support of
La Salle's annual, endowment, and
capital needs. You also may wish to
consider one of the following mutu-
ally beneficial ways of supporting
La Salle University.
SECURITIES - If you own securities
that have appreciated in value, you
are subject to capital gains taxation
rules when they are sold. By making
a gift of these appreciated securi-
ties to La Salle, you avoid capital
gains taxes and receive a charitable
deduction. Thus, the actual cost to
you is often far less than the value
of your gift.
REAL ESTATE - You may make a gift
of your residence or other real
estate to the University. As with gifts
of appreciated securities, you avoid
capital gains taxes and receive a
charitable deduction.
LIFE INSURANCE -If you own a
fully-paid life insurance policy that
has outlived its original purpose, you
may wish to donate it to La Salle.
You will receive a charitable deduc-
tion based on the present value of
the policy (an amount close to the
cash value). You may also name
La Salle to be the beneficiary of any
life insurance policy that you own.
Although you will not receive a
charitable deduction, you will have
the satisfaction of knowing that
future students will benefit from
your gift.
BEQUESTS - A bequest to La Salle is a
gift that involves no immediate loss of
capital or income. Both large and small
bequests enable the University to pro-
vide a Lasallian education to tomor-
row's leaders. There are several differ-
ent types of bequests, and we would
be happy to discuss various options
with you and your attorney. Your estate
will receive a charitable deduction,
and the tax savings can reduce the
ultimate cost to your heirs.
TRUSTS - Many people believe that
trusts are for the wealthy While trusts
can be very beneficial to the wealthy,
often those with limited assets estab-
lish trusts to preserve their capital and
increase the earnings derived from it.
You may establish a trust that will per-
mit you to make a gift to La Salle (and
receive a charitable deduction), while
increasing your income. We would be
happy to discuss with you and your
attorney the various types of trusts that
you can establish to benefit La Salle.
As you can see, there are many
ways of giving. Rest assured that no
matter which method you select, you
will have the personal satisfaction of
knowing that you are strengthening
La Salle and benefiting young men
and women for generations to come.
Further information regarding any of
the above giving opportunities may be
obtained by contacting Gregory J.
D'Angelo, Director of Planned Giving,
at (215) 951-1881. All inquiries are held
in strictest confidence.

The Start of
Something
BIG
By Maureen Piche
"^ A "T" e don't need a history
\ /\ / book to tell us 1970 was
Y y a big year for change.
America was saying goodbye to the
idealistic "608 and was still buzzing
about the first nioonwalk. Anti-Vietnam
War sentiment was steadily growing.
The women's movement was gaining
momentum. And. following the path
recently established by other male-only
colleges. La Salle University for the
first time allowed women to attend
classes as full-time day students.
As today's freshman class (more
than half female) begins the Spring 2001 semester at
La Salle, it's hard to imagine a day when women
students weren't talking with friends in the food court,
or sharing opinions in class. And yet, a generation ago,
coeds were blazing trails current students may very well
take for granted.
"I don't think of us as pioneers — -just people who
happened to be here." said Marianne (Salmon) Gauss. '74,
who was not only in the first class, but also majored in the
predominantly male field of mathematics.
The initial adjustment was difficult for most of the
new female students in the 1970s. Many came from all-
female Catholic schools and had lived sheltered lives in
the close-knit neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Frequently,
they were the first in their families to attend college.
They were still in an age when many parents didn't see
the need for their daughters to attend college. So, just
applying was a major hurdle, let alone sitting down in an
overwhelmingly male classroom.
Male students and professors had to do their share of
adjusting, too. Although coeds interviewed for this article
had nothing but praise for the way the Christian Brothers
welcomed them into the classroom,
they admitted several lay instructors ini-
tially exhibited clear signs of bias and
discrimination. And some male students
took the opportunity to declare open
season on harassment and flirting.
The Reasons
The decision to admit female students
to day classes was a gradual one, and
was based on a combination of societal
and economic reasons.
The University's earliest recognition
of the female contribution to higher education may well
have been in 1935, when the first Putting Him Through
(Ph.T ) certificate was awarded as part of Commencement
exercises. La Salle was one of the first colleges in the coun-
try to honor women who supported husbands. As the certifi-
cate stated, they were hailed for having "... loyally and
lovingly accepted the conditions essential to conjugal and
collegiate helpfulness...."
From then on, the rules were bent a little at a time.
In the late '50s and early '60s, a small contingent of
nuns and other women was permitted to attend certain
classes. Eventually, La Salle signed a joint agreement with
all-female Chestnut Hill College that allowed students at
both schools to take selected classes at either one. By 1967,
female students could enroll in La Salle's evening program.
And in 1 969, La Salle and Germantown Hospital Nursing
School signed an agreement that brought female nursing
students into day classrooms.
While the late '60s and early '70s were years of social
awakening, especially in terms of female equality.
La Salle administrators had additional reasons to make
the change.
La Salle Magazine
A committee charged with study-
ing coeducation released its report in
the fall of 1969. finding that circum-
stances were right for coeducation at
La Salle, beginning the next fall.
The committee report was quoted
in a September 1969 edition of
The Collegian: "If La Salle is to
increase enrollment over the next
10 to 15 years while remaining all-
male, present evidence suggests that
the academic quality of the student
body will gradually decline."
The article went on to say that the
committee cited overwhelming stu-
dent support for coeducation as anoth-
er reason for changing the colleae's
status after 106 years. A questionnaire
revealed 82 percent of the students
polled to be in favor of coeducation.
Brother Emery Mollenhauer,
Vice President for Academic Affairs
in 1969, was quoted: "To seek to
continue our identity as an all-male
college would be to perpetuate an
anachronism." In fact, other all-
male colleges and universities
across the country were coming to
the same conclusion: To stay afloat
financially, to maintain academic
standards, and to keep up with the
changing social times, these educa-
tional institutions would have to
admit women.
The First Ones
Brother Andrew Bartley, who was
Associate Director of Admissions in
1969, was quoted as saying, "The self-
confidence and poise of the first
women who were chosen to come to
La Salle made the first year of coedu-
cation a success." This is no overstate-
ment. Consider the typical adjust-
ments a first-year student must make
(leaving home, taking responsibility
for one's self, trying to fit in, and
handling the workload), and then add
to the mix the pressures of breaking a
longstanding barrier.
And there were other smaller
woiTies. The Collegian reported the

college ■wasn't quite read} for the new
students when they arrived. All three
floors of St. Edwards Domiitory were
for women. One of the three floors
needed to be painted, the wiring for
many lights remained unconnected,
and the windows were co\'ered with
unlined. see-through drapes.
Still, most of the female students
managed to concentrate on the posi-
tive. "Tve had business dealings that
were ten times worse than anything
negative I experienced on this campus
as a student." Gauss said. "And 1 do
think the Brothers tried
hard to change.
They've always been
good about that."
Gauss entered as a
chemistry major in
1970. She was living
with her family in the
nearby Olney neighbor-
hood. "I picked
La Salle because I could
get here." she explained, noting it was
an easy bus trip to and from classes.
Gauss and her classmates had more
than transportation to worry about in
1970. Many parents still did not see
the need for their daughters to earn
college degrees. Gauss said she had to
come up with her own means of fund-
ing. La Salle, always in the business
of assisting students in financial need,
provided her with enough aid to make
her education feasible.
"I was atypical by gender, but very
typical in terms of the smdents La Salle
attracted over the years," Gauss said.
She recalls even though there
weren't a lot of women (statistics

pulled from the 1 97 1 yearbook indi-
cate the initial ratio was 16 male stu-
dents to every one female ). there was a
"sufficient mix" of people on campus.
Along with the typical coUege-age
students, there also were many older
students who were Vietnam veterans
taking advantage of the G.L Bill.
"Often. 1 was the only female in
the class." Gauss said. "I would have
been nervous going anywhere, but I
was good at school and I was doing
what I wanted. I was just thrilled to be
going to college at all."
Gauss said she
experienced a few
slights, but only from a
small portion of the
male students and lay
faculty. On at least one
occasion, a professor
accidentally referred to
Gauss as mister instead
of miss. Another
science professor
announced he didn't want any women
in his class unless they were at the lab
sinks washing glassware.
Dr. Janice (Statuti) Beitz, who
attended from 1 972-75 as part of the
Germantown Hospital agreement for
nursing students, said her sister,
Peggy, used her sense of humor to
fend off nasty comments from male
students. Peggy, who attended with
the first wave of nursing students in
'69, was told, "We don't want your
kind here," by a male classmate, to
whom she answered. "Don't worry.
We won't bite."
Some male students spent a lot of
time tlirtina with the coeds, while oth-
ers found ways to tease them. Many
women in the early days remember
walking by the w indows of the
Student Union, only to see male stu-
dents on the other side holding up
signs rating them on a scale of 1 to 10.
"The coeds did have two sanctuar-
ies during the first weeks of school:
any ladies' room and Dean Phyllis
Montgomery's office. You would be
amazed at the scene in any ladies'
lounge during the free periods on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Picture if
you can. hundreds of faces with hag-
gard signs of relief upon them as they
close the door. The lounge on the sec-
ond floor of the Union Building holds
the largest number of coeds and even
at that, there was no space available
(even the floor) to rest weary bones,"
Bobbie Costa, '72, wrote in the 1971
Explorer yearbook.
The Benefits
There were some definite advantages
to being a coed at the time. "I saw
female classmates of mine get an
awful lot of tutoring help because they
were female," Gauss said. And she and
other female students have memories
of being called on for the "female per-
spective" during class discussions.
"Knowing I was going to be called
on every day made me work hard and
really do my homework." Gauss said.
"I often found myself speaking for
the women of the world on subjects I
knew little or nothing about." Costa
noted back in 1 97 1 .
Beitz agreed. "I felt it was impor-
tant for us to do well, to show we

The experience of learning along-
side male students prepared the
women for what they would later face
in the working world.
"I got a different education because
of this experience. If I had gone from
an all-females' school into the all-
male world of banking, I would have
failed." Gauss said, referring to her
first career path after graduation.
"I made many male friends here at
La Salle and I wouldn't trade those
friendships, some of which ha\ e last-
ed to this day, for anything." wrote
Diane Bones, '75, in 1995. "And
leaming in a predominantly all-male
environment also was great prepara-
tion for the "real world'. For example,
today if I walk into a business meeting
that is all-male. I don't flinch (been
there, done that!)."
Gauss observed, "I learned how to
handle what looked like discrimina-
tion, but wasn't. Sometimes, what was
really hazing was seen as discrimina-
tion. I was leaming how males initiat-
ed people into their groups. The type
of hazing was very benign, and not at
all gender-based. It was merely the
way men socialized. Leaming to deal
with it. and recognize it. saved me
many headaches later in life."
The college experience was a big
awakening for many young women
who were sheltered by their families
and all-female parochial schools.
Bones, who was the first female in her
family, and among her girlfriends, to
attend colleee, said La Salle's female
instructors opened doors of endless
possibilities to the young coeds.
Bones wrote that, in the 1970s,
Caryn McTighe Musil (a Women's
Studies professor) and her colleagues
"offered opinions and theories that I
had never heard before,
but that made a lot of
sense to me. Their dia-
logues enabled students
like myself to become
much more open-mind-
ed, critical thinkers than
we had been before
entering La Salle."
"How lucky we
were to have women
teachers who gendy informed us that
we weren't in Kansas anymore, that
we probably wouldn't live life as our
mothers had (they were right about
that) and that the wodd in 1970s
America was truly changing for
women." Bones added.
Beitz also has grown to appreciate
Musil's wisdom. "She wanted us to
look at our lives in a different way.
She was teaching us how to think and
articulate our ideas."
A Different World
After spending her early career in
banking. Gauss came back to La Salle
as a management professor in the
School of Business Administration.
A popular professor, she is a past
recipient of the Christian R. and Mary
F. Lindback Award for excellence in
teaching. She knows her current stu-
dents, both male and female, have
very little idea how much change has
occurrea inme past 30 \'ears. She
suspects young women take for
granted their right to attend a coedu-
cational college, and she thinks that's
a good thing.
"I think the women 1 teach now are
more self-aware,"
Gauss said. "They
certainly ha\e more
laws that protect them,
such as Title 9 for ath-
letics. But they still
have a row to hoe. even
though they might not
realize it."
"My daughters
can't imagine a place
or time when they weren't welcome,"
she added.
Beitz also returned to La Salle,
first as a Bachelor of Science in
Nursing stadent when the School of
Nursing was founded in 1980. She
said in just 10 years, the campus cli-
mate had completely changed. "By
the time I came back to campus.
there were more women than men. It
was very well accepted that women
could do it, and they were here to
stay," she said.
Today. Beitz directs La Salle's
Graduate Nursing Program and
teaches Nursing students. She, too, is
pleased that her current female stu-
dents seem to view higher education
as an expected step, not a rare and dif-
ficult achievement.
"I think it's good. They don't even
have to think whether they deserve a
college degree. It's accepted. They
deserve it just as much as men do." L

Conventional
Wisdom
A La Salle student reveals life lessons learned
while covering the GOP Convention
By Mark Holmes, '02
Sometimes a special opportunity
sits in the pathway of life,
ready to be tackled. That
opportunity can change a person
in countless ways, or even one
important way.
Last summer, I had
the amazing opportunity
to intern as a journalist
for the New York Times
at the Republican
National Convention, in
my hometown of
Philadelphia.
After my experience was
over and I returned to my
communication classes at
La Salle, I looked back and saw that
my outlook on the mass media, the
glamorous life of politicians and
famous individuals, and my own life,
had changed dramatically. I had lost
my innocence.
Being a part of something so large
and so influential was amazing at first.
I would read the New York Times in
the mornings at the workspace, then
look around and see those people who
had written the article I was reading. I
had given some of them a ride back to
their respective hotels the night
before, and chatted with them about
the day's events.
I began to feel a part of the entire
process, and was satisfied that I had
been involved in some aspect of the
front page that I was reading. I
answered and transferred incoming
telephone calls, picked up the food for
everyone at the workspace, and pro-
vided inside information on
Philadelphia for the outsiders.
But slowly, the changes began.
When I arrived at the convention, I
wanted to jump in front of every cam-
era in my field of vision. I felt impul-
sive, and had to fight the urge to either
make a fool of myself or gather the
attention of crowds. Yet at the conclu-
sion of the convention I did not even
want to see a TV camera.
The sight of a news crew didn't
even tempt me to look twice to see if
someone important was being inter-
viewed. For instance, Ted Koppel
held an interview broadcasted on
"Nightline" from the Times workspace
with two of the editors or writers each
night. I was unaware that this net-
work show was conducting nightly
interviews until a friend who saw
them on TV told me about it. But
this was toward the end of the week,
and by that point I had become used
to such things.
During the next TV interview from
the Times workspace, I simply went
about my business, and that is when I
realized I had become part of this con-
glomerate called the mass media.
I believe the long hours and drudg-
ery probably had an effect on my loss
of interest in the glamour of the situa-
tion. But there was something deeper
there: I think I became mentally
detached from the journalistic world
because I was overwhelmed with what
was really behind the scenes.
I became sick of the show that was
being put on, and the need for all
these companies to cover this
show for the sake of pleasing
the public eye.
By the end of the week,
even famous individuals and
politicians failed to interest me.
After seeing influential politi-
cians such as fomier House
speaker Newt Gingrich and
Philadelphia Mayor John Street,
and watching vice presidential nomi-
nee Dick Cheney give a talk not far
from where I was working, it did not
faze me when a press release was given
to us about George W. Bush's possible
entrance into our pavilion for interviews.
1 also felt on the same level as
wealthy and famous individuals who
were present. Network "stars" Sam
Donaldson and Tom Brokaw had done
interviews inside our pavilion. Each
time 1 saw them, I was less interested in
the glamour that they carried with
them, as 1 became numbed to the aura
of importance that sometimes surrounds
the lifestyles of the famous.
At the age of 20, 1 became a part
of something that the entire nation had
their eyes trained on for a week, and I
exited the Convention more confident
about my skills and place in life.
Yet it was the end of my awe of
the heralded television camera and to
the writers behind the pen (or word
processor). As a result, the world no
longer feels so overwhelming, and 1
no longer feel that anything in life is
unconquerable. I've been behind those
closed doors where they make the sto-
ries and the magic, and things are
much clearer now. L

would make an effort to take
the "long" way back to campus towards
20th Street. He'd drive by the first
entrance gate in order to enter the sec-
ond (lower) gate, down near McCarthy
Stadium, so that he could see Ernestine
"Joycey" Lancaster, the security guard
on duty in the afternoons.
"I did it just to see her smile."
Brother Joe said. "That's the No. 1
memory I have of her. that smile."
Lancaster died of cancer last May.
and to honor her. colleagues in the
security office had a plaque made with
her picture on it to hang in their build-
ing. The plaque was dedicated in a
ceremony in August with her family,
friends, and co-workers.
"When I interviewed her for the
job, she just charmed me." said Bob
Levins. Director of Safety and
Security. "I thought, this is too good to
be true, so I called her previous
employers and they said, 'That's
Ernestine.' I figured I'd better offer her
the job before someone else does."
Lancaster started working at
La Salle in May 1996 and almost
immediately made an impression on
the community. "She was an ambassa-
dor for La Salle," said Dave Fleming,
Vice President for Business Affairs,
who saw her every day as he left
work. "Everybody who came through
that gate, she made them feel at
home." Lancaster would even pass
out candy to students. "She'd pass out
those round striped mints, or root beer
barrels and butterscotch candies." said
Officer Barbara Morgan. "Even if you
didn't want them, she'd give them to
you. 'You never know when you'll
need mint," she'd say. "
"She loved her job,"
said Capt. Fred Lytle,
who was her shift
supervisor. "If there
was a potential prob-
lem, she just turned it
around and made every-
body feel good."
Because of her ill-
ness she resigned her
job in July 1999, but
came back to attend the
department's Christmas
party. "You never
would have known she
was ill. she was her
usual smiling self,"
said Levins. Her family
said that La Salle stu-
dents visited her while
she was a patient at
Albert Einstein
Hospital. Others called
or sent cards.
"She didn't like her
job, she LOVED her
job," said her daughter.
Stacey Polk, who added
that her mother made an
effort to help younger
students feel more at ease and helped
them adjust to being away from home.
At the suggestion of Officer
George Bundy, the department
decided to honor her with a plaque,
and the notion grew into a dedica-
tion ceremony with Lancaster's fam-
ily, friends, and co-workers. Officers
Morgan and Cheryl Ruffin organized
the event.
"She was one of a kind, she just
played an important part in my life,
always being there, offering advice,"
said Morgan. "Her integrity was
always intact."
At her post at the McCarthy Stadium entrance, Ernestine
"Joycey" Lancaster had a knack for making everyone feel good.
Morgan met Lancaster several
years ago while she was working at a
grocery store and Lancaster walked in.
"I was having a bad day." said
Morgan, "and when she asked me how
I was, I said I was having a bad day,
and she came back with a cup of cof-
fee. On my break we talked — I was a
complete stranger with a problem, but
that's the person she was."
Lancaster was always willing to
help out planning with parties and
events for the security staff". "She was
a sweet person, she kept you going
when you got tired or burned out,"
Ruffin said. L

The great words
of Shakespeare
come to life
in the hands
of a unique
theater group
By Kimberly Dugan
A blind man, a deaf child,
and a woman blessed with
all of her senses sit side-
by-side in the same theater and
enjoy the same performance.
Despite their range of physical dif-
ferences, they are all able to imder-
stand and appreciate the show being
performed in front of them.
This is possible because they are
experiencing a production by the
Amaryllis Theater Company. Among
a very elite class of theater groups,
this ensemble makes plays accessible
to all audiences, including those tradi-
tionally labeled disabled.
Dr. Stephen Smith, Associate
Professor of English at La Salle —
along with his wife, Mimi Kenney
Smith, and former La Salle profes-
sor Linda Merians — created this
unique group two years ago. Their
recent groundbreaking debut of
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was
performed at Philadelphia's Prince
Music Theater with a professional
ensemble of both deaf and hearing
actors. The play was simultaneously
spoken and signed using American
Sign Language (ASL) for audience
members with and without physical
challenges.
Smith explains that Shakespeare's
plays are a very physical genre
because the language is peppered
with metaphor. Since ASL involves
every muscle in the entire body, it
brings Shakespeare alive in a way
never before seen.
"Every twitch of a face muscle or
shift of an eyebrow means something.
The movement creates pictures out of
Shakespeare's language," Smith said.
"The emphasis on the physical nature
of Shakespeare has opened up new
possibilities of interpretation."
Smith and his colleagues had their
work cut out for them when choos-
ing to perform a Shakespearean play.
Because there are multiple interpre-
tations, one of the most difficult
tasks was the translation process. It
took 16 months for the translation of
Shakespeare's text to ASL to be
completed. Then the translation had
to be taped to provide "text" for the
actors to learn their lines. The deaf
and hearing actors had to work
together to synchronize the signing
and speaking of text to illustrate a
fluent unification of the signed and
spoken word. Once perfected, the
result is a one-of-a-kind theater-
going experience.
Though he has dabbled in acting
himself. Smith — a professor of all
genres within the English discipline
from Romantic British Literature to
Technical Writing — stays behind-the-
scenes as Literary Director of the
Amaryllis Theater Company. It was
throueh his wife, Mimi. that he
"The movement creates pictures out of Shakespeare's language.... The emplmsis on the physical
nature of Shakespeare has opened up new possibilities of interpretation."

"These are incredibly gifted actors who happen to be deaf— and because of
their deafiiess, they do not always get the opportunities they deserve."
became interested in a theater that
would be open to individuals from all
walks of life.
In addition to having been touched
by a performance of "Theater for the
Deaf." Mimi also had a friend who
was paralyzed in a tragic accident.
From then on. she had a vision of a
theater that would foster a mission of
inclusiveness when it came to cultur-

Gracefully
Crossing
the
Finish Line
By Michael J. Mishak, '02
If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.
-Emily Dickinson
You don't have to go far to
tlnd people who do excep-
tional things.
In fact, you don't even have to
travel to an exotic island full of greedy
competition-crazed lunatics to find
some harrowing feats of survival. You
need only to travel to Horsham, Pa., to
find a most remarkable person.
Marcella (Kuttler) Bossow, '90, is
a survivor. Not in the sense of CBS's
reality-based program, but in the sense
of overcoming true life obstacles in
the face of adversity.
Marci suffered the loss of her
husband, Pete, '90, when his battle
with cancer ended last year. Despite
the untimely tragedy (Pete was just
30 years old). Marci is embracing
life and devoting herself to others.
Pete may be gone, but his spirit
still remains as an instrument Marci
uses to ease the lives of young
cancer patients. She is maintaining
Pete's legacy by founding Crossing
the Finish Line (CFL), a non-profit
organization dedicated to enhancing
the quality of life for young adult
cancer patients.
Crossing the Finish Line was a
joint venture of outreach. The idea
was sparked during a vacation Marci
and Pete took during his brief period
of remission. "Our family and friends
held a beef-and-beer in our honor,"
Marci said. Enough money was raised
to send the couple on a three-week
vacation to the Caribbean. It was just
the break from rigorous treatment they
needed. "That vacation was the only
certainty in a completely uncertain
future. It helped sustain us."
Realizing the tremendous benefits
of a retreat and a chance for spousal
re-connection and intimacy. Pete and
Marci shared many conversations
about Crossing the Finish Line.
They spoke of developing an organi-
zation that could provide young cou-
ples and families struggling with
cancer the unique opportunity they
had been afforded.
Thanks to Marci's tireless effort
and dedication. Crossing the Finish
Line evolved from an idea into a reali-
ty. Since its founding over a year ago,
it has sent eight families on dream

Its purpose is to give a dream vacation to young couples and fitmilies struggling with the disease.
vacations. A family with five children
enjoyed a trip to Disney World, while
others have spent their retreats relax-
ing at the shores of Sea Isle City, N.J..
and Lake Carey in Scranton, Pa.
"The dying process was the most
beautiful journey we could ever take,"
Marci said. "The trip was an opportu-
nity for Pete and me to be away, and
an opportunity to embrace the dying
process." One would think that
embracing the dying process is easier
said than done but Marci exhibits an
attitude of acceptance and optimism.
"Every day is a struggle, and
some days are better than others,"
she said, "but death is just part of our
journey. We are called to embark
upon life's journey to death and
beyond, simply by our birth. It's
meant to be this way."
The name Crossing the Finish Line
exemplifies Pete's attitude and reflec-
tion on his life's journey. "The name
captures Pete's emotions upon com-
pletion of his initial treatment and the
resulting vacation," Marci said.
Crossing the Finish Line also
addressed the spiritual line often
ignored by many: the line of crossing
from death to eternal life.
CFL targets young adult patients,
ages 1 8 to 50, and their caregivers.
The foundation also works with
healthcare professionals to identify
couples within the tri-state region
(Pennsylvania. New Jersey, and
Delaware) who are eligible to partici-
pate in a unique and harmonious
retreat experience, "a chance to get
away from all the doctors and pre-
scriptions," Marci said.
While modem medical science
focuses on treating the source of phys-
ical ailment, CFL is concerned with
another aspect of healing: that of the
soul and mind. "We focus on an area
which modem medicine is unable to
treat: the emotional, psychological,
and spiritual trauma that accompanies
a cancer diagnosis," Marci said.
Marci and Pete's vision is being
realized through the use of donated
retreat homes. Her long-term plans
include four custom-built homes
located in Nevis (the Caribbean island
that hosted the Bossows last year).
Sea Isle City (where the couple spent
numerous summers), Florida's west
coast, and on lakefront property in
the Pocono Mountains. "Ideally,
we'd like to have properties that are
tailored to the individual's needs,"
said Marci, "but now we're working
at a pace we can accommodate." In
September 2000, the foundation
received a $ 1 0.000 grant and hopes
to continue its plans for custom
home constmction.
Marci's life is a literal whirlwind
of paper shuffling: she's busy with
writing proposals, finding corporate
sponsors, and organizing fundraising
activities. "This organization is really
unique in its mission and target
group," Marci said.
Pete's presence can still be felt in
Marci's tireless devotion in reaching
out to young cancer patients and their
families. She has survived personal
tragedy, using it as a motivation for
public outreach, keeping her and her
husband's message alive in the hearts
of many: Cancer is devastating yet
love is sustaining. L

La Saiie's school
of business
forms an
educational partnership bet\A/een
students and companies By jon carouiis
A school can't exist in a
vacuum. What is happening
outside the classroom is
as important for college students to
learn as the wisdom in hooks and on
blackboards.
"The business world is changing
rapidly, and how we do business is
ever-changing. We need to partner
with companies in order for us to learn
the newest technologies and strategies
so that we can prepare our sUidents to
work in that environment," says
Gregory O. Bruce. Dean of the School
of Business Administration. "The fac-
ulty need to be aware of what's hap-
pening in practice, and they also need
to know the needs of business."
"Additionally, the world has gone
global." he added. "Business schools
and businesses have had to re-orient
themselves in this direction. That's an
example of how and where we learn
from each other."
To bridge these gaps, the busi-
ness school has cultivated a number
of partnerships with area corpora-
tions in which both parties learn
important lessons.
Bruce talks about partnerships
almost like he would talk about his
children (he's the father of three).
Successful partnerships require a
sense of nurturing similar to that of
personal relationships. High-tech
"In this dynamic world, the only
thing that's constant is change. You

companies, financial firms, accounting
firms — the school has built bridges
with many corporations in many fields.
But these connections go well
beyond having a network of gradu-
ates in top posts who will hire
La Salle graduates (although that
does happen). Businesses also gain
access to faculty members, who pro-
vide research and consulting servic-
es, while the faculty stay on top of
trends and innovations.
And, yes, businesses

get access to top students who. they
hope, will become top employees.
"Sure, it helps with the quality
of kids we hire, but it's also an
opportunity for us to help contribute
to the curriculum development at
La Salle," says Dave Carberry, Vice
President for Finance and Health
and Fitness at Johnson & Johnson
(J&J) Healthcare Systems.
An interesting outcome of the J&J
and La Salle partnership is Business
100, a course required for all first-year
students. The course will focus on an
industry, such as pharmaceuticals or
technology, and students will learn
about the industry from all phases:
marketing, operations, finance, human
resources, etc. This spring. Johnson &
Johnson will "partner" with the school
in the course; students will study
J&J"s operations, even visiting compa-
ny sites in the region. J&J executives
will be lecturing during different
segments of the course.
One example of corporate partnering
working on multiple levels is the con-
sulting team of faculty in La Salle's
Management Department. The team
consists of Jim Smither, Steve Meisel,
and Joe Seltzer, who have worked with
Crown Cork & Seal, the world's lead-
ing manufacturer of packaging for con-
sumer goods. The faculty are involved
in the company's management and
leadership development program, an
in-house effort for mid-level managers.
Smither and his colleagues design and
provide training programs on manage-
ment topics such as communicafion
skills, dealing with negative feedback,
and decision-making. This consulting
team has become familiar with the cul-
ture and goals of the company and can
design and tailor its instruction for
issues and problems unique to Crown
Cork & Seal employees.
"Crown Cork & Seal has allowed
me and my colleagues to work on the
design task force, to put this together,
and they think of me as a member of
their team," Smither said. "That's
when it's starts to be a partnership."
This partnering strategy has led to
a number of initiatives that have put
La Salle's School of Business
Administration in a leading position
within the region. The faculty, stu-
dents, and alumni of the School of
Business have seen the direct results
of these efforts: the new Global
Management of Technology master's
program: the move into executive
education with the start of the
Executive M.B.A. Program for
Science and Technology; and the
Electronic Commerce Insfitute and
Certificate program, which moves La
Salle into the forefront of electronic
commerce.
La Salle's School of Business
continues to place high priorities on
initiating and cultivating corporate
partnerships. These initiatives have
resulted in advancement in diverse
areas — new programs at the graduate
level; innovative curriculum changes
at the undergraduate level such as the
Integrated Science, Business, and
Technology (ISBT) program; and the
renovation of nearly ten College Hall
classrooms. I

—Clinton Bullock, '00
When Clinton Bullock.
"00 gave a speech at
an award ceremony at
La Salle, he talked about his mother.
"I was the son of a 16-year-old,
drug-addicted prostitute."
He talked about himself.
"The doctors told my mother I
wasn't expected to live. and. if I did.
I would probably be ph\sically
and/or mentally deficient."
And he talked about dreaming.
"I always dreamed of attending
college, ever since I was a little
child."
Bullock could scarcely have
had the odds stacked more unfavor-
ably against him. but. as he noted in
his speech,
"dreams do, in
fact, come true."
And so. not
only did he gradu-
ate in four \'ears
from La Salle, he
was chosen to be
part of a program that will place
him in Japan for the next year to
teach English.
And his mother? Jillian Bullock,
"91, at age 39 is now a filmmaker
raising her two other children.
Clinton Bullock had hoped to
give his speech at La Salle "s gradua-
tion on Ma\ 2 1 .
Another student, how-
ever, was selected. So,
when Bullock learned
he was to recei\e an award from the
school's multiculturalism organiza-
tion a week before Commencement,
he took that opportunity to speak out.
"I wanted to stress the impor-
tance of having goals," he said, "[to
talk] about how dreaming is impor-
tant— because if you don't ha\e a
dream, you have nothing to strive
for — and how it's possible to
achiev e \ our goals and dreams and
\ isions, even if you have the most
messed-up of backgrounds."
At 15. Jillian Bullock fled from
what she called "an indecent envi-
ronment" in Philadelphia and ended
up in Orlando, Fla., where she took
to the streets.

Her son. Clinton Bitlloek '00. Iiii.'i hetuied to Japan to teach Eiigli\l} following Ins graduation.
She supported herself — and her
drug habit — through prostitution.
She was offered a haven by a man in
his early 20s, became pregnant by
him. and returned to Philadelphia to
have her baby.
"I was thinking of putting him up
for adoption." she said of Clinton.
"But something told me he would
be my way out. I changed my way of
thinking, stayed on him constantly,
kept him in the house, away from the
neighborhood.
"I do not know how I was able to
pull it off; I was still a child myself.
It was difficult to try to stay clean
and do right for myself and my son.
You slip. You slide. But I knew I
wanted to give him a chance to have
a better life.
"Everybody felt he was doomed
to failure." she said. "I had to prove
them wrong."
She got her high school degree
and, a few years later applied for a
position at the Philadelphia office of
the Wall Street Journal, which has
since been closed. At the same time,
she began an 1 1 -year journey
through college, graduating from
La Salle in 1991.
By then, Clinton had won an
exchange-student fellowship, and he
spent a year at a high school in
Venezuela, where he graduated.
His mother, in the meantime, got a
film company. Jaguar Productions,
off the ground. (She recently com-
pleted "When Dreams Begin," a com-
edy about two female filmmakers.)
When Clinton returned from
South America, he dove headlong
into college work, majoring in
Spanish and minoring in Italian, as
well as into community service. Now
he has been accepted to do his grad-
uate work at American University in
Washington, though he has not
decided whether he will go when he
returns from Japan.
No matter what he does, he
knows he has come further than
expected — and he knows why.
"My mother always told me," he
said, "that I was not going to be just
another statistic." L

Dial F for Fundraising
La Salle grads, the future is calling you! Future alum-
ni, that is. The University Advancement Office is
running a series of phonathons for the Annual Fund, and
current students are doing the calling.
And the students have had fantastic success, especially
when compared with the outside telemarketing company
used in the past. This year, the total amount of dollars
pledged by alumni is $3 1 1 ,000. This represents an increase
of $3 1 ,000 over last year's total raised by professionals.
La Salle alumni should be congratulated. The students
received pledges from 44 percent of those contacted. The

average gift was $73, which represented a $15 increase
over last year. This could be attrib-
uted to the Challenge Grant issued
by the Board of Trustees. The
Trustees agreed to match up to
$123,000 in pledges. Asa
result of the Challenge
Grant, 66 percent of con-
tributing alumni increased
their gifts this year.
La Salle students again in Fall 2000 manned
the phones, attempting a few more fundraising records.
The University appreciates your continued support.
The Annual Fund not only helps La Salle meet its operat-
ing budget, but also bridges the gap between tuition and
the real cost of educating a La Salle student. Tuition and
fees only cover 80 percent of what it costs to operate a
quality university.
Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund provide La Salle
with the resources to enhance student financial aid and
schohu-ships, create new academic programs, upgrade
campus facilities, purchase new technology, and recruit
and keep top faculty. Every gift to La Salle matters
because alumni and parent participation are very impor-
tant factors when ranking a university. Corporations and
foundations also measure participation when making
decisions on grant applications.

La Salle's Graduate Religion Program: Fifty and Fabulous
La Salle's Graduate
Religion program
celebrated... and studied...
all week long
For its 50th anniversary,
the Graduate Religion
Program celebrated its
students, past and present,
and all of the changes and
advances the program has
made by holding a week-
long workshop this past
summer.
Priests and Brothers
aren't the only people to
have graced the Graduate
Religion Program with
their presence. Although
that wasn't the case 50
years ago when La Salle
began its program, it isn't
so anymore.
"Now, most of the stu-
dents in the program are
lay people." says Father
Frank Bema, the program's
director. "TTie students are
primarily Catholic, but we
have some Protestant and
Jewish students, too."
Created with the intent
of educating Christian
Brothers to teach religion
in high schools, the pro-
gram was opened up to lay
people in the early '70s.
Today, La Salle's Graduate
Religion students are high
school teachers, like the
Christian Brothers who
pioneered the program;
pastoral assistants who
lead youth groups and
adult education in parish-
es; and directors of reli-
gious education.
Bishop Cullen attended
the workshop as the main
celebrant and homilist.
Other featured presenters
were Monika Hellwig,
theologian and executive
director of the Association
of Catholic Colleges and
Universities (ACCU),
and William O'Malley,
a Jesuit priest, teacher at
Fordham Prep, and author
of 28 books.

Donohoo, Gary Daigle,
and Rory Cooney, all well-
known contemporary

Upon its anniversary,
Bema reflected on how the
program has grown, noting
that its mission has
changed from teaching to
applying the Christian
Brothers' philosophy of
sound academics. "We
don't just think great
thoughts," Father Bema
laughs. "We want to con-

Allen Honored for Making a
Difference in Students' Lives
NA/iley Named
Distinguished Professor
Enricliing the lives of iinJeiiiiiuhuiies luis become the credo of
Annu Allen. Assistant Dean of Students.
When Anna Allen.
Assistant Dean of
Students, was given the
Lasallian Distinguished
Educator award this year,
the La Salle community
began to rethink what it
means to be an "educator."
For the first time, the
award was presented to an
administrator who lives the
Lasallian message through
her work.
"The effort to honor an
administrator speaks to
what is very important
about any Lasallian institu-
tion," Allen commented.
"If we are involved in the
lives of students in any
way, and if we take seri-
ously our responsibility to
positively affect their edu-
cational experience, then
we are, indeed, educators."
After 20 years of
serving on La Salle's
Admissions staff, Allen
now serves the entire stu-
dent body as the head of
University Life. Her work
with multicultural and
diversity education,
international education,
campus-wide program-
ming, and student celebra-
tions deeply enriches the
lives of every student at
La Salle.
"In my years in
Admissions, and now as
Assistant Dean of Students,
my best days have been
and will continue to be the
days when 1 know I've
made a difference for stu-
dents." she says.
Allen was presented
with a print of Brother
William Woeger's "The
Icon" during the Opening
Weekend Faculty Meeting
on Aug. 24. The inspiring
image of St. John Baptist
de La Salle is now proudly
displayed on Allen's wall,
serving as a reminder of
how every person at
La Salle has an impact on
the learning community.
Dr. Samuel Wiley, an
associate professor
of mathematics and com-
puter science, received the
Provost's Distinguished
Faculty Award at this year's
Freshman Convocation,
Aug. 24. Provost
Dr. Richard Nigro com-
mended Wiley for the
"exemplary professional
and personal commitment
that he has given to
La Salle and its students."
Nigro pointed out that
Wiley is not only a teacher,
but also a student. "He lit-
erally went back to school
to retrain in the skills his
department needed to serve
the University and its stu-
dents," Nigro added.
A La Salle professor
for the last 37 years, Wiley
has been chair of the
Mathematics and Computer
Science department for a
total of 12 years. He also
dabbled in the administra-
tive end of University work
as the Associate Dean of
Arts and Sciences for
five years.
Wiley, standing before
the freshman class, took
advantage of this unique sit-
uation to pass on some of
his knowledge of La Salle
to those students beginning
their first year. "La Salle is
not the buildings and
grounds situated in
Philadelphia somewhere
near 20th Street and Olney
Avenue." he said. "It is
instead the people that work
and sOidy here. You are now
one of those people."
Three of Wiley's five
children have graduated
from La Salle. Drawing
from his own experience as
a concerned parent, he took
a moment to reach out to the
parents of the Class of 20O4.
"1 want to assure you, the
parents, that we will do
what we can to provide your
daughter or son great edu-
cational opportunities."

Dr. Kay Kinsey (right). Director of La Salle's Neighborhood Nursing
Center, provides health care information to a family from the Center's
Germantown-Logan-Olney-Wister neighborhood service area.
La Salle's Neighborhood Nursing Center, along with
three other collegiate nursing providers, was recent-
ly honored by the federal government for its continued
efforts in providing primary care for underserved com-
munities and for training nurses to work in those areas.
Along with La Salle, nursing centers operated by the
University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and the
Medical College of Pennsylvania-Hahnemann
University School of Nursing, received the Community
Excellence Award.
"These four clinics not only offer real-life learning
opportunities for nearly 1 ,000 future nurses, they provide
badly needed primary care to more than 23,000 needy
city residents," said Dr. Claud Fox, Director of the Health
Resources and
Services Admin-
istration, an agency of
the federal Depart-
ment of Health and
Human Ser\ ices. "The
clinics truly fill the
"health care gap" in
Philadelphia."
Accepting the
award was Kay
Kinsey, professor of
Nursing and Director
of the Neighborhood
Nursing Center.

A Real Bargain
Everyone likes a bar-
gain. No one likes to
pay "full price," if they
can avoid doing so. How
would you like to make a
donation to La Salle with-
out paying full price?
There is a way to do this.
In today's environment
of constantly appreciating
investment securities
(despite the occasional
market dip), many of us
have seen our investment
portfolios grow beyond
our wildest dreams.
Unfortunately, the Internal
Revenue Service has seen
the potential for capital
gains tax collections grow
beyond its wildest dreams.
By donating appreciated
securities (which you must
have owned for longer
than 12 months), rather
than selling them and
donating the proceeds, you
avoid recognizing capital
gains. (There are special
rules for stock involved in
a merger, and you should
consult with your tax advi-
sor about this.)
In addition to saving
capital gains tax, a charita-
ble deduction may be
taken for a gift of appreci-
ated securities. The
amount of the deduction is
equal to the mean value
between the high and low
price on the date of the
gift — not your cost basis.
So, donating appreciat-
ed securities to La Salle
can result in double
income tax savings, which,
in reality, reduces the
actual cost of the gift.
Example: A taxpayer,
who is in the 28 percent
income tax bracket, owns
stock with a current value
of $5,000 and a cost basis
of $2,000. By donating the
stock to La Salle, she can
save $2,000 in capital
gains and income taxes;
thus her net cost would be
$3,000— a real bargain!
Note: Never donate
securities in which you are
showing a loss. Instead,
sell the securities and
donate the cash. This
allows you to benefit from
the capital loss.
For information on how
to make of gift of appreci-
ated securities, contact
Gregory J. D'Angelo,
Director of Planned
Giving, at 215/951-1881.

Measuring Courage by Degrees
By Jon Caroulis
<
Nobody plans to get hit by a
truck.
It just happens. Ask Steve
Kammennan, M.B.A., '00, who was
not expected to survive his accident
with one. and if he did. the odds were
he'd be crippled.
Four years ago he was sitting in his
car waiting for the light to change when
a much larger vehicle slanimed into
him, breaking his neck. For 1 8 months
he lay immobile with steel rods in his
body, wondering if he'd ever walk
again. A successful business entrepre-
neur— he owned a herb and vegetable
business — Kammerman slowly began
to recover, which gave him plenty of
time to think about his life and what he
wanted to do with the rest of it. He
decided that if he got better, he'd start
doing things differently. He'd do things
because he wanted to do them, not
because he felt he had to do them.
"I would do more enjoyable things
at this stage in my life," he said.
Having plenty of free time on his
hands, he enrolled in a graduate
business course at La Salle's Bucks
County Center "to keep me occupied.
I thought I'd see how I'd do." Three
years later Kammerman has earned
his M.B.A.
He initially took some graduate
business classes, but "Joe Ugras
[Associate Dean of the Business
School and Director of the M.B.A.
program] and Brian Niles [then direc-
tor of external affairs for the school]
suggested I take the GMATs and work
toward a degree," said Kammerman.
"He seemed interested in educa-
tion," said Ugras, who taught
Kammerman in a course in managerial
accounting. "He's a very bright guy,
and his only concern was learning, not
a job promotion."
Kammennan combined his studies
witli a program in physical therapy, but
the two balanced each other. His
coursework, he says, provided structure
and something to look forward to each
day. At first he couldn't drive a car, and
his wife. Gayle, had to ferry him to the
Newtown campus. His teacher, Don
Nucera, an adjunct professor and Vice
President with IBM, suggested she stay
for the class rather than make two trips.
"Most colleges would have charged her
an audit fee," says Kammenniui. "It
was so nice of him to do that." Today
Kammerman can drive himself, but
he's not completely recovered. His left
hand is still numb and he had to type
his papers with only his right hand
operating the keyboard.
While Kammennan's physical sta-
njs was different from his classmates',
his mental outlook was also different.
Most of the students, he says, were
seeking an M.B.A. to further their
careers or retool for a changing job
market. He was there for the experi-
ence of learning. "If 1 could imp;irt one
thing to my classmates, it's tliis: Don't
miss the opportunity to learn. Many of
them saw the M.B.A. as a way to
advance themselves, but it was also a
great opportunity to learn new things."
So what did Kammennan, a successful
businessman, learn from his studies?
Not to be so compartmentalized, he
said. So many people focus in on their
one area in a company, but you have to
look at it as a whole, he says.
And while he was learning, he was
also helping his teachers.
"He had a lot of interesting life
experience, a lot to contribute," says
Walt Schubert, Chair of La Salle's
Finance Department, who taught
Kammerman in a course in internation-
al finance. "He's certainly a class
leader With somebody Uke that, they
usually dominate the class discussion,
but that wasn't the case with Steve. His
presence was what you would call

'value-added' to the class. Here is
.somebody who's experienced the
things you're talking about."
Kammerman doesn't think he'U
return to his business, but with his
degree in hand he might do some
consulting for friends.
He was unable to attend La Salle's
graduation — his daughter, Courtney,
was graduating that same day from the
University of Pennsylvania. At
Baccalaureate, however, along with
other graduates who spoke foreign lan-
guages, Kammerman was asked to
offer the class a wish in Hebrew.
But something his daughter said
might have put his whole experience in
perspective. In addition to graduating
from college with honors, Courtney has
also performed with the Bolshoi Ballet
in Russia (one of the first Americans to
be invited to dance with the troupe),
been named a junior ambassador
to China, and was honored at the Albert
Schweitzer Awards (previous honorees
have been Hillary Rodham Clinton and
Barbara Bush). Yet as Kammennan
was finishing his degree, his daughter
said something children usually hear
from their parents at graduation, but
rarely say to them: "I'm proud of you,"
she told him.

Joining the ivy League
Two La Salle alums major in
public service at Harvard University
By Amanda Ward, '02
John F. Kennedy Street in
Cambridge, Mass.. is a far cry
from West Olney Avenue in
Philadelphia. In spite of this dis-
tance, the path after graduation has
led two of La Salle University's top
students there, where they have
made new homes for themselves at
Harvard's prestigious Kennedy
School of Government (KSG).
Mike Boyle and Tina Wahl, both
1998 graduates, are pursuing
Master's degrees at KSG, which
seeks students who set the tone.
They look for passionate, principled,
committed, persistent, and talented
students to fill their classrooms.
Both Wahl and Boyle fit the bill.
The youngest member of La Salle's
Board of Trustees, Wahl was a varsity
basketball player throughout her four
undergraduate years, a Rhodes
Scholar Pennsylvania finalist, and
class spokesperson on numerous
occasions. Boyle, a fomier political
science and English double major,
was editor of the student newspaper.
The Collegian, and was chosen to
deliver the Commencement address.
Tina Wahl. '9H
"Tina is one of the top students,
if not the most impressive student,
I have ever had," said Dr. Mary Ellen
Balchunis-Harris of La Salle's
Political Science department. In one
of her courses. Wahl was selected to
be the spokesperson for the class
sponsorship of the "Baby Bill,"
which advocated a mandatory hospi-
tal maternity stay of at least 48
hours. "She is very well spoken,"
her fomier professor recalled. "I see
her one day becoming a cabinet
member or filling any other high-
level political position."
Wahl is obtaining her Master's
degree in public policy with a con-
centration in human services and
social policy. Attending La Salle as
an undergraduate heavily influenced
this choice. "Living in the city and
not being secluded really opened my
eyes to the importance of diversity,"
said Wahl.
After graduating from La Salle,
Wahl dedicated a year of her life to
New York Covenant House, where
she worked with homeless youth as
a Vincentian Service Corps volun-
teer. "In New York, I learned to
appreciate the things I have been
blessed with. All of those midterms
and exams I had stressed so much
over are really not so important,
after all. Having food to eat and
clothes to keep warm are important,"
she said.
Boyle obtained a Master's degree
in international relations from
Cambridge University in England.
He is currently working on a second
graduate degree in international secu-
rity, specializing in internal affairs,
civil wars, and internal conflicts.
Boyle vividly recalls the degree
Mike Boyle. '98
of excellence in teaching during his
undergraduate career at La Salle. "I
remember having the fundamentals
constantly drilled into us," he said.
"The perspective gained from attend-
ing La Salle was very advantageous."
He hopes to pursue a Ph.D. in
international relations and is plan-
ning a career in diplomatic service.
Currently, Boyle is the editor-in-
chief of the Kennedy School's news-
paper. The Citizen. His experience at
La Salle's paper fueled Boyle's
interest in journalism, which he says
is critical to the circulation of
thoughts, ideas, and critical debate
in society. He's a staunch proponent
of the First Amendment right to a
free press, which he believes is fun-
damental to people's interaction and
participation in a democracy.
Wahl and Boyle are grateful for
the opportunities they have been
given. They are both looking for-
ward, but have never forgotten the
Lasallian experiences that have
made them who they are today.

La Salle Women Explorers
Cover the Courts of Europe
By Keith D'Oria
On August 10. 2000, the La Salle
University women's basketball
team began a nine-day. three-game
European tour that led the Explorers
to Strasbourg, Paris, Bruges, and
Amsterdam. La Salle began the tour
with two days in Strasbourg, touring
the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the
Palais de Rohan, the Ponts Couverts
and Petit. France. On the third day,
the Explorers journeyed to Reims,
France and visited another beautiful
cathedral before ending the day in
Paris. Head Coach John Miller and
the Explorers saw many of Paris"
intriguing and history-filled sites,
including the Arc de Triumph, the
Rue de Rivoli. the Champs Elysees
and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. The
three days spent in Paris also
allowed the team to venture to
Versailles to see the gardens and
travel along the Seine River, as
, well as to visit the Louvre, which

The Explorers then
traveled to Bruges,
Belgium, home of the
Basilica of the Holy
Blood, one of the most
beautiful cathedrals in all
of Europe. The team
played against the Eureka
Bruges Basketball Team
on the first night and the
Dames Basketball team on
the second. La Salle fin-
ished its European tour by
traveling to the Netherlands
for a game against Dr
Foots Top Basketball Team. The
Explorers concluded the trip by see-
ing some of the sites in Amsterdam,
including the Anne Frank House.
They returned home on August 19

Recap
Besides enjoying themselves and
seeing the many beautiful sights
throughout France, Belgium, and the
Netherlands, the La Salle women's
team also gained valuable experi-
ence that will only help in the
2000-2001 season.
Coach Miller and his staff saw
improvements from everyone on the
team and gained insight on the team's
strengths and weaknesses.
The forwards and centers illustrated
how they can contribute to the squad.
McDade once again established herself
as the primary scoring threat from the
post, averaging 14.3 points per contest.
Hudak also proved that she can score
and rebound, averaging 13.7 points and
seven rebounds per game. Hindenlang
provided solid rebounding, leading the
team in all three games and averaging
1 1 boards per contest.
The guards also looked promising
for the Explorers. Zenszer contributed
10.3 points and was second on the
team in assists, averaging two per
game. Rhoads also pertbrmed well,
netting 9.7 points per game, while
Keilty dropped in 1 1.7 points per con-
test. Randa. Walker, and Mays also
showed promise throughout the tour.
Randa provided scoring off the bench,
adding 4.3 points per game and was
another three-point shooting threat.
Walker played a versatile role, averag-
ing 3.7 assists per game to lead the
Explorers in that category. Mays
played solid defense and distributed
the ball well, averaging 2.3 assists
per game.
Not only was the European tour a
fantastic cultural experience, but it was
also one for La Salle to build on —
both on and off the court.

A lAlin-lAfin Situation
La Salle athletes and coaches score big points through community service
State Aquarium, a Clean-Up Day in
Fairmount Park, and the coordination
of Youth Da\' themes at La Salle sport-
ing e\ents ha\e all been successful.
As part of Project Team Work, the
athletics department also established
an Adopt-a-School program.
Currently, student-athletes work as
mentors and mtors with several local
schools. In addition, students at partic-
ipating schools are im ited to take part
in clinics and workshops, and to
attend La SaUe sporting e\ ents and
other activities as part of an Explorer
Incentive Program.
Perhaps Project Team Work's goals
and achie\ ements were best summed
up in a citation from the National
Consortium for Academics and Sports
(NCAS), which named La Salle to its
Honor Roll for e.xcellence in commu-
nity ser\ ice and outreach activities:
"We thank you for all the hard work
and dedication displayed b\ \ our

Shortly after his arri\al at La Salle
in 1997. Director of .Athletics Dr.
Thomas Brennan introduced Project
Team Work as the Depanment of
Athletics' \ outh outreach and com-
munity serv ice program.
"Project Team Work is highly con-
sistent with the Lasallian tradition
and the Christian Brothers' well-
recognized history of e.xemplarj' service
to youth and the community," Brennan
said. "It occupies a \er\ high priority
within our athletics department."
He cited three achievements as
positive examples of the contribu-
tion of La Salle in the community.
They are: the induction of men's
basketball Coach Bill "Speedy"
Morris into the Catholic Youth
Organization (CYO) Hall
of Fame for his \olun-
teer serv ice throughout
the Philadelphia
Archdiocese: the work
of Assistant Athletics
Director Peter D'Orazio
\\ ith the Inner City

of the .Athletic Relations
Council (.ARC), a

The success of Project Team Work
has also been made pxjssible h\ the
generosity of local foundations and
corporate partners. Most notably, the
Patricia Kind Family Foundation
recently aw arded the athletics depart-
ment a three-year grant of S75.0OO to
help sustain and enhance Project
Team Work. Former Explorer basket-
ball star Ste\e Black. '85. was hired as
the Director of Project Teamw ork.
D'Orazio. who has overall pro-
gram responsibility for Project

extremely impressed with the will-
ingness of local businesses, indus-
tries, and foundations to partner with

We are grateful for their support and
encouragement."

But, as a sophomore, her career continued to
flourish in field hockey in the fall, and in lacrosse
last spring. During lacrosse season,
Wilus averaged 5.27 points per
game, the second highest
in the country, finish-
ing less than a point
behind Maryland's Jen
Adams. She also finished second in
the Atlantic 10 Conference with
79 points while playing three
fewer games than the leader, Kelly
Ruch of Temple, who had 81 points.
Her four-goals-per-game average

Coach and Player Team up Together
It usually happens every day in
practice, that a coach roams a
field showing players how to exe-
cute certain moves. Not often do
coaches and players play on the
same team in meaningful situations.
That all changed this summer
for Jenn Harpel and Jami Wilus.
Harpel, the Head Coach for field
hockey and lacrosse, and Wilus,
who plays both sports under
Harpel, teamed together as part
of the Upper Atlantic Regional
Lacrosse Team. Harpel returned to
the regional team after two years
away from competition. Wilus was
selected to the squad for the second
straight year. The tournament is
used by the LInited States National
team as a selection venue, allowing
the two to play together under
NCAA rules.
"Jami and 1 are both very com-
petitive. It was great to share the
field with someone
who loves the games
as much as I do,"
Harpel said.
"We read each other
well on the field, and
we had fun. Jami is
capable of being a
National Team
Player."
While she knew
Harpel 's intensity on
the field as a coach,
Wilus saw another
side of her on the
playing field. "Jenn
was so focused and
intense on the field,"
Wilus said. "I've seen
her intensity as a
coach, but when we
stepped onto the play-
ing field, she was more
have ever seen."

A\A/ards Honor Two Exemplary Alumni
and the Christian Brothers
The La Salle Alumni Association
held its annual awards dinner

Exchange and 1998-99 interim pres-
ident of La Salle; and Dr. John
Carabello, '62, member of the
Association's Board and president
of the Explorer Club, were given the
John J. Finley Memorial Award for
their extraordinary contributions to
La Salle.
The Signum Fidei Medal,
La Salle's most prestigious alumni
honor, was bestowed upon the
Brothers of the Christian Schools for
their lifetime of living, teaching, and
promoting the Lasallian values of
peace and social justice. The dinner
was shared with the Alpha Epsilon
Honor Society, which conferred
membership on the top scholars of the
.senior class.
The John J. Finley Award is given
annually to valued alumni who have
exhibited outstanding service to La
Salle or the Alumni Association. To
his contemporaries, Finley was
known as "Mr. La Salle" for his
devotion to the University.
The Signum Fidei Medal, derived
from the motto of the Brothers of
the Christian Schools — "Sign of
Faith" — recognizes personal
achievements in harmony with the
established aims of La Salle and the
objectives of the Christian Brothers.
It is awarded annually to the person
or persons who have made the most
noteworthy contributions to the
advancement of humanitarian princi-
ples in the spirit of St. John Baptist
de La Salle.
Instituted in 1936. the Alpha
Epsilon Alumni Honor Society was
designed to recognize "high scholar-
ship in the pursuit of a Christian and
liberal education together with the
exceptional but unrewarded participa-
tion in the extracurricular life of the
University." Members are selected
each year from the upper fifth of the
senior class.

Education Put into Action
w:
^hen Kathy Triolo, '96,
received her M.B.A.
degree from La Salle, she was
already an experienced busi-
nesswoman. Two years earlier,
in 1994, she and her husband.
Cookie, had fulfilled a lifelong
dream by opening the doors of
Pineapple Hill, a bed and breakfast located in New
Hope, Pa.
However, Triolo credits the M.B.A. program,
particularly the Business Policy capstone course,
for giving her the extra background she needed to
expand her already booming business. In fact, her
Business 699 class gave her the idea for an addi-
tion to Pineapple Hill.
As part of a project for this class, Triolo and the
team she was working with put together a hypo-
thetical plan for a Pineapple Hill addition and pre-
sented this plan to local business professionals
who were invited by the school to review them.
Although the plan was only an idea when Triolo
and her group presented it in class, Triolo quickly
put the plan into action, and in 1996 built a five-
room addition to Pineapple Hill. Since building the
addition, the income generated by the extra rooms
allowed the Triolos to hire a housekeeping staff.

Bed & Breakfast, visit www.pineapplehill.com or

Heeding the Call
Sometimes, a good edu-
cation can teach you
important things about
yourself. And sometimes,
the influence of one good
teacher can help you discov-
er your calling. Rev,
Anthony Bozeman, '93, was
recently ordained as a priest
of the Roman Catholic
Church, He says he decided to pursue
his vocation with the help of a La Salle
Christian Brother.
Although Father Bozeman contem-
plated attending law school upon
graduation, thoughts of being a priest
had always been in the back of his
mind. He names the late Brother Joseph
Keenan, F,S,C,, one of La Salle's most
popular religion teachers, as a "great
influence" on this decision,
Fr, Bozeman's educational and spiri-
tual journey took a long and winding
path. He first started studying at La Salle
in 1977, He left in 1980 to serve in the
United States Air Force for about two-
and-a-half years. After completing his
service to his country, Fr, Bozeman
worked as a civilian techni-
cian for nine years before
returning to La Salle in 1991,
He took night classes in the
Continuing Studies Program
and graduated In 1993 with
a degree In history.
When asked about his
feelings about his years at
La Salle, Fr, Bozeman has
nothing but positive responses. He
said, "My experience at La Salle really
helped me to grow academically as well
as on the maturity level,"
The new priest also had a good
multicultural experience at La Salle,
"I really believe that La Salle's liberal
arts learning developed more skills in
me to deal with a multicultural parish
like Our Lady of Hope,"
He is currently finishing up his
diaconate assignment at Our Lady of
Hope Parish, located In the Logan
section of Philadelphia, Fr, Bozeman is
preparing for the transition to his first
assignment as a priest, at Our Lady of
Grace in Penndel,
