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.

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

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- 
nation. Sandy  Grady  once  described 
the  sheOs  as  "graceful  spiders  slither- 
ing across  the  water."  But  it  doesn't 
feel  that  way  to  the  graceful  spiders.

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

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

-^         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 
Truitt,  Jr.,  '98,  was  a  marketing  major 
and  is  a  Marketing  Specialist.  Mark 
Shugsta  was  an  intern  with  the  firm 
last  summer  and  will  be  starting  fuU-

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 
alma  mater,  POA  has  put  La  Salle's 
emblem  linked  to  a  Web  page  right 
at  the  top  of  the  home  page  of

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.

Dinner.  Pictured  with  the  Reillys  are  (from  left)  Thomas  J.  Lynch.  '62:  Brother

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.

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.

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."

The  Science  of  Miracles 


By  Caitlin  Murray 


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.

Joseph  Martina.  Auxiliaiy  Bishop  (far

"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 
during  a  timeout. 


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. 


Volleyball's  Hodge  an  Ail-Around  Star 


Melissa  Hodge 
carries  a  3.97 
GPA  (out  of  4.0)  in  man- 
agement/marketing. She 
has  earned  berths  on 
such  classroom-ori- 
ented groups  as  the 
GTE  Academic 
All-America  team, 
the  Atlantic  10 
Conference  All- 
Academic  team  and. 
would  you  believe, 
the  All-American 
Farm  Team. 
■j^         Besides  all 
that,  you  should 
see  her  spike  a 
volleyball. 
The 
graduating  sen- 
ior from  Downingtown 


se 


(Pa.)  High  has  combined  academics 
and  athletics  in  such  a  successful 
manner  that,  for  three 
consecutive  years,  she  has 
won  her  way  onto  the  GTE 
District  2  team. 

Off  the  court  and  away 
from  her  studies.  Hodge 
has  found  time  to  be 
active  in  the  Business 
Honors  Society,  in  Junior 
Achievement  and  with 
Project  Teamwork,  the  Athletic 
Department's  Youth  Outreach  and 
Community  Service  Program. 

And  to  explain  the  "Farm  Team" 
reference.  Successful  Fanning  maga- 
zine, in  conjunction  with  Dodge 
trucks,  annually  selects  a  five-person 
volleyball  team  and  five  honorable 
mentions.  As  a  junior,  Hodge  was 
one  of  the  five  honorable  mentions. 


The  basic  criterion:  a  student- 
athlete  must  be  from  a 
rural  area.  In  Hodge's 
case,  that  has  been 
augmented  by  the 
fact  that  her  parents, 
Bruce  and  Nancy 
Hodge,  manage  and 
work  at  the  Highlands 
Orchard  between 
Downingtown  and 
West  Chester.  Melissa

■oniAnn 
Razzi 
already  had  a 
reputation  as  an 
indoor  track 
senior  with  a 
3.40  GPA  in 
biology.  But,  in 
just  the  last 
few  months, 
the  title  Out- 
standing Performer  in  the  Atlantic 
10  Conference  Indoor  Women's 
Championships  has  been  added  to  her 
running  record. 

In  one  weekend  at  the  University  of 
Rhode  Island,  the  former  Archbishop 
Prendergast  High  star  from  the 
Philadelphia  suburb  of  Drexel  HiU  set 
a  record  in  the  Atlantic  10  mile 
(4:55.19),  tied  the  conference  standard 
in  the  800  meters  (2:13.71),  and  was 
part  of  the  Explorers'  4x800  meter 
foursome  that  set  a  conference  record 
(9:11.67). 

Razzi  followed  that  with  a  4:45.84 
mile  in  the  Eastern  College  Athletic 
Conference  (ECAC)  meet  in  Boston 
with  a  La  Salle  record  for  the  mile. 
That  earned  Razzi  a  berth  in  the 
NCAA  Championships  in  Fayetteville, 
Ark.  Her  time  eclipsed  the  4:47.92  set 
by  Terry  CairoU  in  1988.

Creating  2000  Memories 


By  Caitlin  Murray 


More  than  just  memories  will 
be  created  at  this  year's 
Reunion  gala  on  May  12-14. 
A  series  of  new  traditions  will  be 
introduced  as  well. 

For  the  first  time,  Reunion  is 
focused  on  welcoming  all  former 
Explorers  back  to  campus,  whether 
they  are  members  of  the  Class  of  1919 
or  1999  or  anywhere  in  between. 


special  address  to  all  attendees  by 
La  Salle's  new  president.  Brother 
Michael  J.  McGinniss,  '70. 

"It's  a  great  time  to  rejoice  in  the 
good  things  that  are 
happening  at 
La  Salle,"  said 
Alumni 
Association 


While  the  University  is  taking 
steps  to  include  alumni  of  all  ages, 
the  silver  and  golden  jubilarians 
need  not  feel  slighted.  At  a  private 
reception  in  their  honor,  each  mem- 
ber of  the  classes  of  1950  and 
1 975  will  receive  a  commem- 
orative medallion. 
Jim  Conboy,  '50, 
Reunion  Committee 
Co-Chair  for  the  Class  of 
1950,  said  he  is  "abso- 
lutely thrilled"  about  the 
prospects  of  this  year's 
event.  "Over  the  years,  life 
changes  as  you  get  a  job,  get 
married,  and  have  children.  You 
start  to  lose  touch  with  former  class- 


"We  want  to  make  sure  all  alumni 
always  feel  at  home  at  La  Salle," 
said  Director  of  Alumni  George 
"Bud"  Dotsey,  "69.  "Reunion  2000 
gives  everyone  the  opportunity  to 
join  in  the  festivities  even  if  they're 
not  part  of  a  five-year  anniversary 
class.  It  broadens  the  relationships 
between  graduates  of  all  years." 

More  "firsts"  to  look  forward  to 
on  the  weekend  of  May  1 2  include: 
an  increased 
amount  of  affinity 
groups  and 
Explorer  sessions, 
an  Alumnae 
Anniversary 
Awards  Brunch, 
a  multimedia  dis- 
play of  graduates' 
memories,  and  a

asm Bro.  Mike  has 
brought  to  the  Univer- 
sity, the  30th  anniver- 
sary of  women  on 
campus,  and  the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  canonization  of 
St.  John  Baptist  de  La  Salle,  this  is 
the  perfect  year  to  take  Reunion  to 
the  next  level." 


mates  and  drift  apart  from  your  old 
college  friends.  I'm  really  excited  to 
catch  up  with  some  familiar  faces 
and  exchange  reminisces,"  he  said. 

The  Al  Raymond  Big  Swing 
Band,  a  Reunion  liturgy,  an  archival 
time  tunnel,  a  walking  tour  of 
Belfield  Estate,  aromatherapy,  and 
photo  opportunities  with  campus 
notables  are  just  a  few  of  the  slated 
activities  guaranteed  to  conjure  up  a 
few  old  memories — and  create  some 
new  ones.

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. 

For  their  part,  alumni  tell  us 
that  clubs  and  chapters  offer  cama- 
raderie, business  opportunities,  and  a

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

of  re-forming,  as  well  as  a  new 
African  American  affinity  group. 

Typically,  all  of  these  groups  work 
in  some  way  to  help  La  Salle  continue 
its  mission  by  planning  fundraising 
activities  for  the  University,  volunteer- 
ing for  different  events,  creating  a 
support  network  for  newly  graduated 
alumni,  or  assisting  with  recruitment 
and  admissions. 

We  invite  you  to  attend  an  upcom- 
ing club  or  chapter  meeting  near  you. 
We've  included  some  future  dates  and 
locations,  as  well  as  a  few  recently 
held  events,  in  the  box  on  this  page. 

To  find  out  more  about  current 
clubs  and  chapters,  or  to  help  start 
one  in  your  area,  please  contact 
the  La  Salle  Alumni  Office  at 
215/951-1535,  888/4- ALUM-LU, 
or  alumni@lasalle.edu.  You  can

Many  thanks  for  your  continuing 
interest  in  La  Salle.  Bro.  Mike  and  I 
look  forward  to  visiting  with  you  at 
an  alumni  group  meeting  in  the 
near  future.

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 
Counseling  Center  staff  member  was  recently 
honored  by  his  high  school  for  a  half-century  of 
service  and  dedication  to  Greater  Philadelphia  youth. 

At  West  Catholic  High  School  Alumni 
Association's  Annual  Communion  Breakfast  in 
March,  Bro.  Bangs  was  awarded  the  Brother  Edwin 
Anselm,  F.S.C.  Award.  The  award  honors  a  West 
Catholic  graduate  who  continues  to  contribute  to 
the  school  while  achieving  outstanding  success  in 
his  chosen  field. 

Bro.  Bangs,  an  Upper  Darby,  Pa.,  native  from 
St.  Laurence  Parish,  graduated  from  West  Catholic 
in  1949.  His  impressive  list  of  degrees  includes: 
B.A.,  Maxima  Cum  Laude  in  Classics  in  1953  and 
M.A.,  Theology  in  1954  from  La  Salle  College; 
M.A.,  Classics  from  the  University  of  Pittsburgh  in 
1959;  M.A.  and  Ph.D.  in  Counseling  from  the 
Catholic  University  of  America;  and  licensure  in 
Psychology  in  1973. 

Combining  his  studies  with  teaching,  Bro. 
Bangs  taught  Religion,  Latin,  Mathematics,  and 
English  at  several  area  high  schools  before  coming 
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. 

From  1979  to  1982,  he  was  the  Director  of  the 
American  College  Program  at  the  University  of 
Fribourg,  Switzerland,  directing  the  programs  for 
approximately  270  students  from  30  U.S.  colleges 
and  universities.

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

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

could  handle  the  work  aitd  meet  the 
challenge.  We  stood  up  to  the  bar  \\  ith 
the  rest  of  them." 

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

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

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

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- 
al and  physical  boundaries. 

The  purpose  of  the  Company  is 
summed  up  succinctly  in  its  mission 
statement:  to  provide  universal 


access  and  to  promote  universal 
understanding. 

To  uphold  the  validity  of  this 
mission.  Smith  and  his  colleagues 
make  sure  that  their  productions  are 
held  in  locations  equipped  with  the 
proper  resources  for  the  physically 
challenged,  such  as  wheelchair 
accessibility.  Programs  also  are 
printed  in  both  regular  text  and 
Braille,  and  designated  showings 
of  the  production  include  a  special 
audio  description  of  the  action 
taking  place  onstage.

Because  of  the  efforts  of  its 
founders,  the  Amaryllis  Theater 
Company  opens  the  theatrical  expe- 
rience to  all  individuals  regardless 
of  cultural,  physical,  or  even  lin- 
guistic differences  or  limitations. 

"We  are  not  doing  this  as  an  act 
of  charity."  Smith  said.   "These  are 
incredibly  gifted  actors  who  happen 
to  be  deaf — and  because  of  their 
deafness,  they  do  not  always  get  the 
opportunities  they  deserve."    L

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

After  losing  her  husband.  Pete  Bossow  '90.  w  cancer  at  age  30.  Marcella  IKtittter)  Bossow.  '90.  founded  a  non-profit  organization. 
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

But  these  connections  go  well

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

iva5  the  son  nfa  ] 6-year-old, 
drug-addicted  prostitute.  ...I  always 
dreamed  of  attending  college." 

—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. 

Workshop  participants

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

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- 
nect great  thoughts  with 
what  people  do."

Diplomats  Discuss  International  Security 


La  Salle  University 
conducted  its  seventh 
annual  Diplomat-in- 
Residence  Program, 
"World  Diplomacy: 
Threats  to  International 
Security,"  on  April  10-13, 
2000.  This  program,  which 
was  free  and  open  to  the 
public,  constituted  one  of 
the  largest  and  most 
diverse  assemblies  of 
diplomatic  representatives 
to  take  place  in  the 
Delaware  Valley  in  2000. 
The  representatives  of  the 
program  gathered  to  dis- 
cuss the  most  pressing  and 
controversial  issues 
in  international  relations 
and  security. 


The  conference  con- 
sisted of  four  main  ses- 
sions, with  each  session 
focusing  on  a  different 
topic  in  international  rela- 
tions. Sessions  included: 
"Women  in  Politics  and 


Diplomacy."  "Neighbors 
in  Conflict  and  Peace," 
"The  Present  Danger: 
Terrorist  Groups  and 
Criminal  Cartels,"  and 
"U.S.  Foreign  Policy  and 
Humanitarian 


Intervention."  Speakers 
included  ambassadors,

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."

La  Salle's  Neighborhood  Nursing  Center,  along  with

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.

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 


After  a  serious  accident.  Sieve  Kammerman, 
M.B.A.,  '00,  found  learning  to  be  the  best 
medicine.  He  had  to  miss  his  graduation  to 
attend  his  daughter  Courtney 's. 

'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.

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

contains  the  famous 
"Mona  Lisa." 

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 
with  a  2- 1  record  and  a  lifetime  of 
memories  from  their  excursion. 

Game  1 

St.  Andries  Gymnasium 

De  Varens,  Belgium 

In  the  first  game  of  its  European  tour 
on  August  17.  the  La  Salle  team 
defeated  Eureka  Bruges  92-38. 
The  Explorers  jumped  out  to 
a  23-8  lead  after  the  first  quarter, 
which  eventually  stemmed  into 
a  48- 1 9  lead  at  halftime. 
La  Salle  then  outscored  Eureka 
25-6  in  the  third  quarter 

Despite  using  a  men's  ball 
and  playing  by  European 
rules.  La  Salle  shot  exception- 
ally well  from  the  floor  and 
had  a  well-balanced  attack. 

Forward  Shannon  McDade  led 
the  offensive  onslaught  with  17 
points,  six  rebounds,  and  three 
blocked  shots.  She  teamed  with 
guard  Jen  Zenszer  to  combine  for  12

strong  defense  and  limited  each  other's 
offensive  options.  Dames  held  the  lead 
going  into  the  third  quarter  39-37  and 
held  oft'  the  Explorers  by  outscoring

Game  3 

Lieshout  Sporthal  Papenhoef 

Lieshout,  Holland  (the  Netherlands) 

Rebounding  from  their  loss  the 
Explorers  defeated  Dr.  Foot's  Top 
Basketball  Team,  77-44,  in  the  final 
game  of  their  European  tour 

The  Explorers  won  the  first  quarter 
15-12,  but  Dr.  Foots  stayed  in  the 
game  until  halftime.  going  into  the 
intermission  with  the  Explorers  lead- 
ing, 34-28.  La  Salle  then  exploded  for 
25  points  in  the  third  period  and  held 
Dames  to  just  two  points  in  the  quar- 
ter. The  Explorers  outscored  the 
Dames  18-14  in  the  final  period. 


Hudak  led  all  scorers  for 
La  Salle,  netting  16  points  while 
pulling  in  six  rebounds.  Keilty  shot 
well  from  the  field  and  hit  four  three- 
pointers,  finishing  with  14  points. 

Zenszer  chipped  in  1 3  points  in  the

points.  Randa  added  five  points. 
Walker  dished  out  a  team-high  five 
assists  and  Mays  grabbed  four 
rebounds  in  the  game. 

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.

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

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

of  the  .Athletic  Relations 
Council  (.ARC),  a 
student-athlete  leader- 
ship group. 

Foremost  among  the 
activities  initiated  this  past 
year  by  Project  Team  Work 
has  been  the  Explorers' 
relationship  uith  Big

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

gram responsibility  for  Project

extremely  impressed  with  the  will- 
ingness of  local  businesses,  indus- 
tries, and  foundations  to  partner  with 
La  Salle  athletics  as  we  endeavor  to

in  our  ser\  ice  area.  Special  kudos  to

earn  such  an  honor  for  four  years. 
Two  of  the  other  three  are  former

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." 


Coach  Jenn  Harpel  and  Jami 
Willis.  '02.  played  on  the  Upper 
Atlantic  Regional  Lacrosse  Team. 


driven  than  I 


Wilus  said  this  about 
Harpel 's  National  Team 
experience:  "Jenn 
drives  me  to  improve  in 
practice  every  day. 
Having  played  with  her, 
1  now  know  that  she  is 
driving  me  to  a  level 
\s  here  1  can  compete  on 
the  National  Team.  Her 
knowledge  of  having 
played  on  that  level 
licfore  will  help  me  to 
Lontinue  to  improve." 

Applying  their  team- 
work.  Harpel  and  Wilus 
hope  to  lead  the 
kicrosse  team  to  new 
levels.  Wilus.  already  a 
two-time  First  Team  All- 
Atlantic  10  Conference 
performer,  will  try  to 

use  this  experience  to  help  her  gain  a 

berth  on  the  National  Team.

A\A/ards  Honor  Two  Exemplary  Alumni 
and  the  Christian  Brothers 


The  La  Salle  Alumni  Association 
held  its  annual  awards  dinner 
on  November  17.  This  year, 
Nicholas  A.  Giordano,  "65,  former

Exchange  and  1998-99  interim  pres- 
ident of  La  Salle;  and  Dr.  John

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

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.

limitations  or  schedule  conflicts 

*  Providing  a  local  resource  for  inquiring  students,  applicants,  and  their  families 

*  Sharing  stories  of  their  own  LaSallian  experience  and  where  it  has  lead  them  in 
their  lives 

A  member  of  LEARN  can  volunteer  to  attend  a  college  night  or  an  open  house,  visit  local 
high  schools,  and/or  call  prospective  students.    Volunteering  a  small  amount  of  time  makes 
a  BIG  difference.

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,
