ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Signing off for this week.
Interesting how they don’t include the price of energy in the cost of living. It couldn’t be that they then would have to pay COLA to all the Social Security recipients? How did we ever let them pass the income tax and take us of the gold STANDARD? But, then they can inflate the currency at will. By putting us on a standard that means nothing, it disconnects us from reality. Then, we need them to help us understand how to get along. Making them indispensable, ensures their reelection. 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.

HEADLINE: CEOs need X-ray vision in transition How EMC's new chief steered
company through first 100 days
BYLINE: Del Jones
Joseph Tucci will complete his first 100 days in office this week, 3 days ahead of President Bush. Tucci, 53, took over as CEO of data storage giant EMC on Jan. 17 after joining the company a year ago as chief operating officer. Bush, 54, was sworn in Jan. 20. Like Bush, Tucci follows a predecessor who held the job through 8 years of good economic times. A $ 1,000 investment in EMC at the end of 1990 would have swelled to nearly $ 400,000 by the end of 2000. Also like Bush, Tucci arrived just in time to encounter a punishing stock market. Since Tucci took over, EMC stock has been cut nearly in half despite Tucci's goal that revenue will grow at least 20% this year from $ 8.9 billion last year.
EMC, 216 on the Fortune 500, has been one of the fastest-growing large companies in the country. Those who haven't heard of EMC have surely crossed its digitized trail. It stores the massive data requirements of everything from airline reservation systems to credit card companies.
U.S. presidents aren't the only ones under the microscope from the very beginning. So, as Tucci closes in on his first 100 days, he spoke to USA TODAY management reporter Del Jones about what a CEO can expect to encounter and accomplish in such a short time.
Q: Is the transition of power at a large company similar to the transition of the presidency?
A: No. At our company it has been a lot like passing a bottle of nitroglycerin. The day I came in, (former CEO, now chairman) Michael Ruettgers had two hands firmly grasped on the bottle. After awhile he let me put one hand on the bottle, and as time went on, the second hand on. Then he took one hand off, then the other, with his two hands cupped below. I think I have an advantage on President Bush because his transition team worked a month, then he had the ball. In my case, Mike is still around as chairman, friend and a mentor for advice.
Q: Presidents must consider their legacy. Jim Kelly, the CEO of UPS, has recommended that new CEOs pause on their very first day and think about what the company will look like their last day on the job. What do you think?
A: Jim Kelly is a friend of mine and I think he's right. I am not worried about my legacy, but you do need a vision for what you would like to see happen. I want this to become one of the five most valued companies in the world. I like that goal because it's easy to measure. I want it to be one of the most admired. I want to leave the company with high growth prospects, and I'd like my successor to say this company is still on a mission. I'd like the owners to say EMC gave them the best returns in their entire portfolio.
Q: New presidents surround themselves with their own executive team. Is that just as crucial for a CEO?
A: If you are insecure enough to surround yourself with your own team, that's a weakness. This company didn't get to where it is by having a weak staff. Good leaders always leave room for debate and different opinions.
At the end of the day, you have to go out as a team. If I pull left and they go right, I'm going to ax them in a heartbeat. The team has to be in harmony. But before you move out, there needs to be a debate. Leadership is not a right. You have to earn it.
Q: This is your second time as a CEO, but the circumstances are quite different. When you were CEO of Wang Global, the company was emerging from bankruptcy protection. This time, you take over one of the most successful companies in recent years. How does that make a difference in how you handle the first 100 days?
A: At Wang, I first had to stop the bleeding. Second, there was a renewal process. Third, the most fun, was to execute a plan and grow.
Obviously, here at EMC there is no stabilization phase. But every company needs a healthy paranoia. It's the CEO's job to keep it on the edge, to put tension in the system. You have to do the right thing for the right circumstances.
Q: Should chief operating officers expect co-workers to treat them differently when they are promoted to CEO?
A: Even though I was COO, you feel it instantly when you become CEO. The way people look at you. They're looking for any flinching. You have to be confident. You have to communicate, communicate, communicate. You have to lead by example. I've always traveled about 40-50% of the time. In the first 100 days it's been about 70% of the time.
Q: Do competitors try to take advantage of a new CEO in the first 100 days? Do they attempt to cash in on the uncertainty of the transition?
A: They can, sure. At Wang, one of the reasons we were declining 40% to 50% was because competitors smelled blood and sensed the weakness. Wang competitors had a sales program to attack our base. At EMC, I think our competitors know our transition has been seamless. Here, we're on the offensive.
Q: Mr. Ruettgers served 8 years in very good economic times, as did President Clinton. Like President Bush, you took over in an economic rough patch, to say the least. Are there adjustments a new CEO must make in such circumstances?
A: The economy has toughened, and it happened so fast. Economic tough times are like a war. Companies that focus on their core have to defend only one front. That's why companies like Intel in chips and Microsoft in software have been stellar over decades. Many of our competitors are playing in data storage, but also servers and a variety of products. They have many fronts to fight. I am fighting a one-front war. I will not cut back a penny on R&D, which is over $ 1 billion a year. I'm going to continue to invest in service, sales and sharpen our supply chain. I'm going to be Dr. Death on other expenses.
If we do this right, we will extend our lead over the competition. Focus is the secret ingredient. Great companies have great people and maniacal focus. This is what I keep pushing: What got us here won't keep us here. You can tell more about people in tough times. My admiration for the team has grown.
Advice for CEOs
* Treat tough economic times like war. It's easier to fight a one-front war, so focus on the core product.
* When you become CEO, prepare to be treated differently, even if you have been with the company a long time.
* Expect competitors to take advantage of CEO transitions.
* Don't throw out the old management team. That's a sign of weakness.
* On Day 1, have a bold vision for where the company should be on your last day.

Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader From Lafayette
RIVERDALE, NY – The Manhattan College baseball team
evened its season record at 17-17 with a doubleheader sweep of Lafayette on
Wednesday afternoon. The Jaspers scored
two runs in the first inning of the first game on RBI doubles by Wendell
Anderson (East Hartford, CT) and Eric Sullivan (Ronkonkoma, NY), and Mike
Sullivan (Stony Point, NY) pitched 5.2 innings of 2-hit, 1-run ball to get his
second win of the year. David Preston
(Albany, NY) got the final out of the sixth inning and retired Lafayette in order
in the seventh for his first save.
In the second game, Lafayette scored one in the top of
the first, but Manhattan answered in the bottom of the second on a leadoff walk
to Anderson and two consecutive singles to E. Sullivan and Paul Pulidore (Rockville
Centre, NY). With one run in and two
on, Lafayette pitcher Marcus Ward shut down the Jaspers without allowing
another run. The game would remain
scoreless until the bottom of the seventh when E. Sullivan singles and scored
the game-winning run on a walk-off single by Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla,
NY). After getting his first save in
the first game, David Preston pitched 1.2 innings for his second win of the
year.
Eric Sullivan
finished the day 3-6 with a double, 1 RBI, and 1 run scored. Wendell Anderson finished 2-5 with a double,
a walk, 2 runs scored, and 1 RBI.
Lafayette dropped
to 9-28 on the year with the losses.
Manhattan returns to action this weekend when they host Marist at 12:00
PM on Saturday and Sunday.

Women’s Lacrosse Drops 8-3 Decision To Sacred Heart
RIVERDALE, NY – The Sacred Heart Pioneers spoiled Senior
Day for the Manhattan College Women’s Lacrosse Team on Wednesday
afternoon. The Pioneers scored five
unanswered goals in the second half to defeat the Lady Jaspers 8-3.
Manhattan had honored its four seniors, Liz Tiffany
(Blauvelt, NY), Maureen Tiffany (Blauvelt, NY), Jessica Alzate (West Hartford,
CT), and Moira Muthig (Nyack, NY), before the game, and early on the Lady J’s
seemed to have momentum as Liz Tiffany scored the first goal of the game and
assisted another to help Manhattan take a 3-1 lead. Sacred Heart scored twice in the final seven minutes of the first
half to knot the game at three at the intermission, and the Pioneers dominated
the second half as they pulled away for the 8-3 win.
With the loss,
Manhattan ended its regular season 4-12, but they will enter this weekend’s
MAAC playoffs as the #4 seed where they will face top-seeded Fairfield on
Saturday.

MANHATTAN TENNIS TEAMS FINISH SECOND AT MAAC CHAMPIONSHIPS
RIVERDALE, NY – The Manhattan College men’s and women’s
tennis teams both finished second at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
Championships this past weekend. It was
the first time either team had qualified for the championship match.
The second-seeded men lost Sunday’s championship match to
top-seeded Marist, 5-2, after winning a dramatic 4-3 match with St. Peter’s on
Saturday afternoon. Ajay Kumar (New
York, NY), who had won the decisive match against St. Peter’s in a third set
tiebreak, continued his outstanding play with a 6-4, 6-3 win at number four
singles. He teamed with Nick Gravagna
(Whitestone, NY) to win at second doubles, but Marist won both first and third
doubles to win the doubles point. The
only other win for the Jaspers came from Paul Wawrzyniak (Forest Hills, NY) at
number five singles, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6.
The women, who entered the tournament as co-number 1
seed, had coasted into Sunday’s final with a 7-0 win over Fairfield and a 4-0
win over Niagara but dropped a 5-2 decision to two-time defending conference
champion Loyola. The Lady J’s lost the
doubles point after dropping the second doubles match and defaulting third
doubles only one game into the match when sophomore Daisy Hamburg (Jackson, MS)
injured her ankle and was taken to the hospital by ambulance for x-rays. She would return to the courts later in the
afternoon after the x-rays found no fracture.
Trailing 1-0, the Jaspers made things interesting in
singles as freshman Melissa Sunga (Bergenfield, NJ) was first off the court
with a convincing win at number three singles.
Loyola won at fifth and sixth singles, 6-3, 7-6 (3) and 7-6 (6), 6-4,
respectively, to take a 3-1 lead, but first, second, and fourth singles all
went to a decisive third set. Loyola
would clinch the match by winning fourth singles before splitting the top two
singles.
Both teams wrap-up their seasons at the Metropolitan
Collegiate Tennis Conference Championships this weekend at the U.S. Tennis
Center in Flushing Meadows. With no
further dual match play, the men finish the year 15-4 and the women finish with
a team record 13 wins and only four losses.

John,
I just wanted to say thanks for sending me the postcards when I've dropped off Jottings (full mailbox again). I really do appreciate your efforts in collecting the information for the Jasper community and for caring enough to send a postcard. Although I may not always agree with all of your political views (some of them make a lot of sense actually), I will always defend your right to express them however you wish. That is the beauty of our country and one which we should always cherish.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Lutz

Dear John,
Friday's NY Law Journal (4/20/01) on page 2 has an interesting book review by Otto G. Obermaier, Esq. '57 of a book entitled "Unwise Passions: . . . First Great Scandal of Eighteenth-Century America" by Alan Pell Crawford. As always Mr. Obermaier's writing is clear and entertaining. The book deals with an early American trial in which the defense attorneys were Patrick Henry and John Marshall.
Mr. Obermaier is a former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a most prestigious position.
Will keep looking for more news of fellow Jaspers,
Best,
Mike McEneney, Esq. '53 BBA

This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!
This is just my idea and has no support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As an alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants.

We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible.
