ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Signing off for this week.
It was with interest that I read about Cardinal Eagan giving three elementary schools four weeks to increase enrollment and income or face closure. I was saddened. In an education environment, where children go uneducated, because of the state's headlock on the education process, we all are deprived. The state by denying choice to the parents and stealing form our society the resources to do a better job. Remember they take our tax money and provide free education! Good thing they don't do that with hamburgers. Imagine free hamburgers; I don't have to go through the litany of what would be wrong with that, do I? So why do we permit the state to be involved the same way with children? Perhaps, so we have a future generation of voters so dumb that they are dependent upon big government to solve every problem. Nah, that's cynical. Or is it?
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Woman dies after visits to bars
Wednesday, April 4, 2001
A 19-year-old Manhattan College freshman from Fair Lawn died Sunday after drinking at nearby bars in the Bronx, authorities said.
The New York City medical examiner had not determined the cause of death for Cristin Draney. According to published reports, she had been drinking heavily Saturday night and began vomiting at her dormitory around 3:30 a.m.
Draney, a 2000 graduate of Fair Lawn High School, was taken by ambulance to the Allen Pavilion of New York Presbyterian Hospital at 6:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. She was pronounced dead a short time later.
There was no signs of foul play, said NYPD Lt. Elias Nikas, a department spokesman. He would not provide further details.
Draney's friends told police she used fake identification to enter the bars, according to the published reports. They also said she had been taking over-the-counter diet drugs, which detectives reported finding in her room.
An autopsy Monday proved inconclusive. The Medical Examiner's Office was conducting further tests, including toxicology testing, to determine how and why Draney died.
Visiting hours were scheduled from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Vander Plaaat Colonial Home on Saddle River Road in Fair Lawn. A Mass was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church in Fair Lawn.

This Problem Still Hasn't Been Fixed
Gambling: Point-shaving scandal rocked college basketball in 1951, and others have followed.
By EARL GUSTKEY, Times Staff Writer
". . .
but when your luck runs dry, watch out. That's when the nights grow long and
the streets grow cold--and when that juice turns sour, baby, it's more than
your day that gets ruined. A New York minute--that's all it takes to go from
the top of the heap to the city dump."
--The athletes' lament,
from "City Dump"
It was and still is, 50 years later, the worst development in the history of college basketball.
The 1951 gambling scandal, first uncovered in New York City, wasn't the first or last such scandal to hit college basketball--there had been others, dating to the '30s--but it was certainly the biggest to that time and it nearly flattened a young, growing game.
Other major scandals would hit college basketball, in 1961 and 1979, and the threat of another, NCAA administrators believe, still lurks, namely from the rise of student bookies and offshore gambling Web sites. But the '51 scandal was the grabber.
On Feb. 18 of that year, New York District Attorney Frank Hogan announced the arrests of City College of New York stars Ed Warner, Ed Roman and Alvin Roth, after they'd confessed to deliberately losing three games during the 1950-51 season.
The story rocked the sport to its roots, because at the time, CCNY was the king of college basketball. In the previous season, it had won both the NCAA and NIT championships, the only time that happened.
In New York in 1951, the NBA was trying hard to catch on. The Knicks played their home games at the 69th Street Armory. Meanwhile, college basketball crowds of 18,000 were routine at Madison Square Garden, where Marty Glickman opened his broadcasts with, "Welcome to Madison Square Garden, the basketball capital of the world."
The three CCNY players admitted receiving $1,500, $1,400 and $1,000 each for throwing games.
Two days later, Long Island University players Sherman White, Adolf Bigos and Leroy Smith admitted involvement in the scandal and were arrested.
They admitted to receiving $18,500 from gamblers for shaving points in seven games during the 1949-50 and 1950-51 seasons.
While college basketball lay prostrate in New York, the scandal moved westward. Players from Kentucky, Toledo and Bradley in Peoria, Ill., were swept up in the scandal.
In New York, there were more arrests.
Eventually, according to "The Journal of Sports History," nationwide, the 1951 scandal involved 35 active and former college players accused of fixing 86 games between 1947 and 1951. Twenty of the players and 14 gamblers who'd bribed them were indicted and convicted.
Careers were ruined, the most prominent of which was Sherman White's at LIU.
In the excellent HBO special on the scandals, "City Dump," New York Times columnist Dave Anderson recalled the case of the 6-foot-8 White, who at the time was only 77 points away from the NCAA scoring record.
"If it weren't for the scandals," Anderson said, "the Knicks would have made White their territorial draft pick and the Knicks, not the Minneapolis Lakers, would have won all those NBA championships in the '50s. White might have become the NBA's best player."
A key figure in the 1951 scandal was a New York jeweler with a weakness for gambling, Salvatore Sollazzo. His point man was former Long Island player Eddie Gard, who was on a first-name basis with every prominent New York college player.
Gard wanted to organize a point-shaving scheme, but needed someone to bankroll it.
Enter Sollazzo.
Non-Nevada sports wagering then, as now, was illegal. But gamblers operated openly at Madison Square Garden. Sports columnist Jimmy Cannon, before the scandal broke, once called college basketball "the slot machine of college sports."
Bookies could be found in any New York neighborhood and point spreads for basketball games were published in the newspapers.
In "City Dump," two Madison Square Garden gamblers are actually caught on film, one handing over to another a handful of cash.
Gard befriended New York-area college stars at Catskills resorts, where they played in summer leagues.
One of his running mates was a former Manhattan College player, Hank Poppe. In January 1951, Poppe offered Manhattan center Junius Kellogg $1,000 to fix a game and Kellogg reported it. Poppe was arrested, along with three bookmaker associates.
The District Attorney's office, prepared to crack down on illegal gambling, arrested CCNY's Roman, Roth and Warner a month later.
CCNY had just beaten Temple at Philadelphia and boarded a New York-bound train. New York detectives got on at Camden, N.J., and sought out CCNY Coach Nat Holman, saying they wanted to speak to the three players.
The arrests were made as the train rolled into New York.
Gard was arrested the same day, White, Bigos and Leroy Smith of Long Island two days later.
The scandal went national in October '51, when Kentucky stars Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Dale Barnstable were arrested, accused of throwing Kentucky's first-round NIT game against Chicago Loyola in 1949.
The widening scandal had even brushed Los Angeles. On March 4, 1951, USC player Ken Flower reported to his coach, Forrest Twogood, that a gambler had offered him $1,500 to throw a game with UCLA.
Ultimately, Sollazzo, the key figure in New York, served 12 years in prison.
Basketball at CCNY was severely wounded and never did fully recover. The city colleges banned themselves from Madison Square Garden. Long Island dropped basketball completely for six years. Kentucky suspended basketball for a season.
* * *
As painful as the 1951 scandals were to the colleges, at least two--Bradley and New York University--apparently learned nothing from them. They were also implicated in the 1961 mess. This one, with arrests spanning two years, involved 50 players from 27 colleges. Between 1956 and '61, it was charged, 44 games had been rigged and 50 players had accepted close to $45,000 in bribe money.
The gamblers, of course, made millions.
North Carolina State was hit hard by the scandal. Three of the Wolfpack's players were arrested, but because they cooperated with investigators and fingered the contact men, they were not indicted.
And just as the '51 mess had cost Sherman White an NBA career, this one cost Connie Hawkins half of his.
The 6-8 Hawkins was already a New York playground legend when he enrolled at the University of Iowa in 1960. There, he met Jack Molinas, onetime Columbia star who'd been thrown out of the NBA in 1954 for shaving points while playing for the Fort Wayne Pistons.
Hawkins was never charged with a crime. But he was guilty of not being careful with whom he associated. Molinas, Hawkins later admitted, once lent him $200.
When Molinas and his associate, Joe Hacken, were accused of masterminding a widespread gambling ring, Hawkins, a freshman not even eligible to play varsity basketball, was swept up.
Because he had associated with Molinas, he was taken back to New York by investigators from a multi-agency task force. When he admitted to the loan, he was freed. Iowa kicked him out of school--and the NBA blackballed him.
Hawkins filed suit against the NBA in 1966 and his case was settled in 1969, when he was 27. This, after years of playing with the Harlem Globetrotters and the ABA. He signed a five-year deal with the Phoenix Suns that included $410,000 in salary, a $600,000 annuity, a $250,000 cash bonus and $35,000 for legal bills.
He was an instant NBA all-star, played nine seasons and in 1992 was named to the basketball Hall of Fame.
Molinas and Hacken both served prison terms, Molinas for five years. He moved to Hollywood, where he became a furrier and pornography trafficker. On Aug. 3, 1975, in a case that was never solved, he was shot and killed in the backyard of his Hollywood Hills home.
* * *
In 1981, gambler Henry Hill told federal agents that during the 1978-79 season, he had paid Boston College players Rick Kuhn, Jim Sweeney and Ernie Cobb $2,500 a game to fix nine games.
Hill said he'd netted $75,000-$100,000.
"Not bad for 11 weeks' work," he wrote in a first-person piece for Sports Illustrated in 1981.
Kuhn wound up serving 28 months in prison. His teammates were not charged.
Hill, who was already in the Justice Department's witness protection program after a 1980 arrest for his role in a cocaine-smuggling ring, cooperated in the prosecution's gambling case and was not prosecuted.
* * *
The beat goes on:
* For his point shaving in Arizona State games during the 1993-94 season, player Stevin Smith was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $8,000.
A teammate, Isaac Burton Jr., spent two months in jail, six months in home detention and was fined $8,000.
Benny Silman, the Arizona State student who masterminded the point shaving, was sentenced to 46 months and is serving his term at a federal prison camp in Yankton, S.D.
* In 1998, Northwestern teammates Kenneth Dion Lee and Dewey Williams were sentenced to a month in jail by a federal judge. Their bookie, former Notre Dame football kicker Kevin Pendergast, who paid bribes to the players, spent two months in prison. * * *
How long before the next scandal?
Bill Saum, the NCAA's point man in its gambling-awareness program for students, athletes and coaches, says more elements are in place now for another such scandal than ever before.
The current fear: student bookies.
"We have reason to believe there are bookies on every campus in America," he said.
"That, combined with Caribbean-based gambling Web sites, is a real concern. Using U.S. phone lines to place wagers with those sites is illegal. But with every student having a credit card and access to a computer--it scares us to death."
* * *
One of the members of the 1951 CCNY team, Floyd Layne, now a Brooklyn high school coach, at first agreed to be interviewed for this story.
But when called for the interview, he deferred questions to his lawyer, who explained that none of the surviving players are talking.
Turns out, exclusive rights to their stories have been acquired by a film production company.

[JR: While Junius' courageous act, standing up for what is right, never seems to be given its due. Imagine how much better it would have been for all of us if Poppe had stood up first. I've read that we should: ACT always as if someone is watching. ACT as we would like be seen as acting. ACT as if we were with our mothers and fathers. Conscience is that small quiet voice that speaks to us if we listen. I hope I do. I hope we all do.]

BYLINE: By GREG WILSON, BOB KAPPSTATTER and MICHELE McPHEE DAILY NEWS STAFF
WRITERS
A Manhattan College freshman died early Sunday after a night of heavy drinking with other underage pals from the Bronx school, police said yesterday.
Christin Draney, 19, of Fair Lawn, N.J., was pronounced dead at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, where she was rushed after collapsing in her dorm room on the college's Riverdale campus.
Friends told police that Draney began vomiting about 3:30 a.m. after returning to Jasper Hall on Manhattan College Ave.
When she passed out, students called an ambulance, according to cops.
Draney had spent the night carousing with friends at several bars off-campus, using a fake ID to gain entrance, police sources said.
"This does not appear to be a hazing, or any school-related problem," said one source. "She may have just drank too much, and that's it."
The victim's friends told police Draney had been "seriously dieting," taking a popular over-the-counter fat burner and metabolism booster. Detectives found the pills in her dorm room.
Investigators said the exact cause of death will have to await the results of toxicology tests. The city medical examiner's office said it expects to perform an autopsy today.
The young woman's death was not immediately reported to the Police Department, the sources said.
They said the school notified Draney's parents, and they identified her body at the hospital. Police were not called into the case until 10 hours later, long after her family had returned home.
The death sent shock waves through the tight-knit college community, students said.
"This has really affected a lot of people and touched a lot of lives," said an 18-year-old freshman who asked that her name not be used. "People who knew her and even people who didn't know her are feeling the loss."
Manhattan College officials announced Draney's death to the faculty and students, and made counselors available to talk about the tragedy, said Robert Becker, managing editor of The Quadrangle, the school newspaper.
"They [the college] basically said, 'If you have a problem, come to us,' " he said. "It's in the consciousness of the school today. This is a small school, and this was obviously a traumatic event."

HEADLINE: Notre Dame sluggers face Seton Hall in Big East games
BYLINE: By Jeff Baltruzak, The Observer
SOURCE: U. Notre Dame
DATELINE: South Bend, Ind.
In this age of pumped-up power hitters and five home run games, the No. 13 Notre Dame baseball team is an anomaly, winning with pitching despite an offense that has struggled to put together big innings at the plate.
<extraneous deleted>
If there was ever a series to put Notre Dame's hitting back on track, this weekend's three games against Big East opponent Seton Hall would be it. The two teams will mix it up twice on Saturday and once on Sunday at Frank Eck Stadium.
The Pirates enter the weekend at 11-10, with a lackluster pitching staff giving up 5.18 earned runs a game. Opponents are hitting .279 collectively against Seton Hall, an average higher than five starting Irish hitters.
<extraneous deleted>
Seton Hall offers an opportunity for the Irish to gain some confidence at the plate against a pitching staff that has lost games, not won them, this season.
This weekend the Irish pitching staff faces a Seton Hall squad that averages seven runs a game, but that figure is misleading. The Pirates scored 18 runs on little-known Manhattan College, and 16 runs on even more obscure Long Island University.

HEADLINE: College students trade Sprong Break for Appalachian experience
BYLINE: Tommy R. Atkinson
METRO STAFF
While college students around the country enjoy Spring Break in such tropical paradises as Florida and the Caribbean, more than 100 students turned down the sun and surf for rural West Virginia.
"Most of my friends went to Florida or Cancun," said Erica Howard during a break from installing overhead insulation. "When I heard about the opportunity at school, the program seemed like a really neat way to contribute to change."
Students from 10 out-of-state colleges gave up their Spring Break in late March and early April to take part in the Southern Appalachian Labor School's College Alternative Break Program.
"Several college students will say if they go to Florida they know what the beach is like, but if they come here they don't know what's going to happen," said John David, director of the Southern Appalachian Labor School.
"It's almost like an exchange program. They get to know the people and become closer to understanding what some of the issues are all about here. It's been a real eye-opener for them."
The college students work alongside Youth Build members from the Southern Appalachian Labor School, gutting existing homes in Powellton and building new homes in Page over a 10-week period.
"It's so important that some of our youth who are at risk have a sense that there is something else out there," said David, who's also an economics professor and chairman of the social sciences department at West Virginia University Institute of Technology. "You create an opportunity for the youth to interact with someone who's going in a different direction and provide some inspiration."
The new homes in Page will be sold to low-income families through the West Virginia Housing Development Fund. David said all building materials are received through grants.
"The experience was awesome," said Howard, a Wells, Maine, native and freshman at Manhattan College in New York City. "It's nice to get to do something different and get away from New York City for a week. It's really wonderful here. I didn't expect it to be as beautiful as it is."
All the students will be housed at the Beards Fork Community Center.
"I've never done anything like this before," said Manhattan College junior Christine Prizeman, a Long Island native. "I've learned how to use a saw and how to hit a nail. I'd rather be here doing something that's changing our world. I kind of came here with an open mind. In a lot of ways we're all similar."
The Youth Build program helps youths ages 16 to 24 who have dropped out of high school get their lives back on track. Participants enroll in the one-year program and pick up a construction trade while working with counselors on getting their General Equivalency Diploma.
"They've got jobs and went to college when everybody in the whole system said they could never do something like that," David said. "They have a chance to come back and contribute something and be respected. It creates a sense that they have a purpose and are valued."
David said the College Alternative Break Program has picked up steam recently.
"It really got going the last three years after we put our site on the Internet," he said. "Probably half the colleges that come are repeats. It all adds up to economic development. They spend money here, they mentor the youth and they build people homes."
Dennis Lee, director of Manhattan College's campus ministry and social action program, said it takes a special person to leave the comforts of home and give up an entire Spring Break to work. Lee said in past years, he's taken students to Puerto Rico and South Africa.
"We had to drive 11 hours in a van and get up at six in the morning and go to work instead of being on the beach," he said. "They're motivated people, I think. They get no credit for this. Some of them used saws and built floors and did things they never done before. It's pretty amazing."
Lee said his group just didn't pick up carpentry skills on the weeklong trip.
"I think working side by side with Youth Build members teaches them about certain stereotypes that they may have about Appalachia.
"It's not about Appalachia, it's about Barry, John and J.R. Too often we focus on differences. So much good happened this week. Our students have been very impressed with how much they have in common. People listen to the same music and have the same concerns about their future."
Lee said his students have a new appreciation for West Virginia.
"We see the beauty of it," he said. "Living in the Bronx, people lock doors. I see the way people act with one another. It's kind of nice to not worry about someone taking a camera out of your car. It's been great for us."
David said during the upcoming summer, 2,000 volunteers will be arriving as part of the Group Workcamps program. The volunteers will renovate 1,000 homes each in Kanawha and Fayette counties.

Daily Targum
A tradition untold: Rutgers, Princeton hold strong men's lacrosse rivalry
(U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- Even before there was a United States of America, there was a Rutgers and there was a Princeton. The history of these two prestigious institutions of higher learning provides for some vital chapters in New Jersey lore, from George Washington driving the British out of Princeton's Nassau Hall in 1777, to the 13-year shutdown of Rutgers in 1812, due to the war and a slouching economy, to the first-ever college football game, played between the two schools in 1869.
<extraneous deleted>
The first collegiate lacrosse game was played on Nov. 22, 1877 between New York University and Manhattan College. Other colleges in the Northeast soon took up the sport, including Boston University, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Stevens Institute and Princeton.

John,
I continue to look forward to reading your Jasper Jottings. Even when the jottings don't have news about anyone that I know, I can always look forward to reading your "editorial" comments at the beginning of each "Jottings". Its always encouraging reading something from someone with a Libertarian viewpoint, when our country keeps creeping closer and closer to socialist government control. Keep up the good work to expose those who would like to eliminate our God-given personal liberty.
God Bless.
Lou Apoldo (E63)
[JR: Well, as Jasper's, having learned about "social justice", we have an obligation to our fellow man to set them free. Not the "social justice" of the socialists ("the government will solve the problem" at the expense of your freedom; have a bowl of soup); nor, that of the "state-ists" ("the government fights wars -- drug wars, bombs aspirin factories, etc. all for your benefit) but the "social justice" of true freedom as espoused first by the Founding Fathers and now by Libertarians ("A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are _not_ libertarians, regardless of what they may claim." -- L. Neil Smith). Thanks I'm glad you like jottings and find the occasional rantings interesting. Remember, anyone who goes to jury duty can strike a blow for freedom. Regardless, of what you are told, you can vote to convict or acquit. So, if the law is unjust, then you must acquit. Citizen juries, for instance, were the reason we have freedom of the press -- remember the Zenger trial. It was virtually impossible to win convictions under the Fugitive Slave Act in the northern states in the 1850s, no matter how overwhelming the evidence of "guilt" under this widely unpopular statute. So use your power.]
[JR: See what happens when you encourage me. I'm good for another 500 words. ;-) Thanks.]
