ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Here comes the news after this comment.
“The sexual abuse scandal engulfing the Roman Catholic Church, far from being nearly over, has only begun. Across the country, in an effort to restore credibility, many dioceses after another is volunteering to turn over its records to prosecutors. The publicity is emboldening more people to step forward with accusations of of sexual abuse. The news media daily are exposing new cases of priests accused as pedophiles and new reports of cover-ups.”
It’s a sad day when this takes over the headlines. About all one can do is pray that Catholic institutions come thru this with a determination to do better. It’s a real black eye to all the good men in the Church.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief" John

HEADLINE: A HISTORY OF HOOPLA - IN TOURNEY, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN - AND USUALLY
DOES
BYLINE: Steve Serby
HERE comes March Madness.
Here come 18 days that will captivate Hoop America and capture imaginations from coast to coast.
Here come all the little schools, all the little dreamers, that want to be Hickory High in the movie "Hoosiers."
Here come the dynasties - the Dukes, Kansases, Kentuckys, UCLAs - seeking one more championship banner for their hallowed rafters. Here comes Bobby Knight - but not in that red Indiana sweater this time. Here comes Bobby Knight with Texas Tech.
Here come the buzzer beaters.
Here come the nets being cut down.
Here come the cheerleaders and the bands.
Here come the cheers of the victors and the tears of seniors with no more college games to play.
Here come the office pools and the poor souls with the gambling addictions and the bookies cleaning up.
The Michael Jordans don't play here anymore; they come out of high school now and go straight to the pros and become millionaires, whether they have a driver's license or not.
It doesn't mean the romance has gone.
The beauty of the NCAA Tournament is you can be a mighty program such as Duke, the defending champion, and you can have one bad night, against someone like Winthrop, or Hampton, or Central Connecticut State, and you are packing your bags and going home.
The images are etched in our consciousness and everlasting:
The late Jim Valvano, who Dared to Dream at North Carolina State, dancing in glee in Albuquerque the night he shocked Houston's Phi Slama Jama.
Rollie Massimino and Villanova playing that perfect game to upset Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in 1985.
Looie Carnesecca and That Sweater embracing Chris Mullin on St. John's way to that same Final Four.
The late Al McGuire, crying on the triumphant Marquette bench after stunning North Carolina in his final game in 1977.
The stoic John Wooden and sky-hooking Lew Alcindor, dominating everyone in their path.
Jim Calhoun and UConn upsetting Elton Brand and Duke for the 1999 championship.
Michigan State's Magic Johnson whipping Larry Bird and Indiana State in the 1979 championship game.
Loyola-Marymount's Bo Kimble shooting free throws to honor Hank Gathers, his tragically-fallen former teammate.
Duke's Christian Laettner miraculously beating Kentucky 104-103 in overtime a decade ago in The Greatest Game Ever Played.
New York has given us unexpected first-round gallantry:
Fran Fraschilla and Manhattan College stunning Oklahoma in 1995.
Jeff Ruland and Iona scaring Syracuse; Jay Wright and Hofstra scaring UCLA.
Pete Carril and backdoor Princeton scaring holy hell out of everyone.
Here comes St. John's and Marcus Hatten carrying the New York banner alone this time.
Here come all the big-name coaches with their television shows and sneaker contracts and basketball camps, and all the "student-athletes" who are asked to shove their school books to the background and don't make a cent.
Here come the great Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), the irrepressible Knight, the white-haired Lute Olson (Arizona), the cholesterol-challenged Rick Majerus (Utah).
Here come Roy Williams (Kansas) and Gary Williams (Maryland) - no relation - and Bob Huggins (Cincinnati), desperate to get over the hump and win that first national championship.
Here come glamour boys Jason Williams and Mike Dunleavy (Duke), Juan Dixon (Maryland), Drew Gooden (Kansas), Tayshaun Prince (Kentucky).
Under the bright lights of the national spotlight, some will rise to the occasion and make names for themselves.
Some will be Danny Manning, single-handedly beating Billy Tubbs and Oklahoma in the championship game.
Some will be Scotty Thurman swishing from downtown Little Rock in the final minute of the 1994 championship game against Duke.
Some will melt under the pressure cooker.
Some will be Fred Brown of Georgetown throwing the ball to the wrong team or Chris Webber of Michigan calling a timeout he didn't have.
March Gladness everywhere. Here comes March Madness.

VILLANOVA TOPS MANHATTAN, 84-69, IN FIRST ROUND OF NIT
Luis Flores Ties Career-High With 33 Points
VILLANOVA, PA. - Despite a
career-high 33 points from sophomore Luis Flores (New York, NY), the Manhattan
Jaspers lost to Villanova, 84-69, in the first round of the Owens Corning
National Invitation Tournament Thursday evening at The Pavilion. Manhattan ends
its season with a 20-9 overall record.
Manhattan scored the first 11 points
of the game, including nine by Flores, and held Villanova scoreless for the first
7:10 of the first half. The Wildcats responded with a 10-4 run to close the gap
to 15-10. Later in the half, Villanova made it a one-possession game on a
three-pointer by Gary Buchanan, to cut the deficit to 26-23 at the 2:57 mark.
But the Jaspers maintained their lead and took a 33-27 edge into the
lockerroom. Flores hit 7-12 shots including a pair of three-pointers for 16
first-half points. Manhattan forced 14 Wildcat turnovers and shot 45% from the
floor.
Villanova inched back into it the
second half an rallied to tie the game at 43-43 on a pair of free throws by
Brooks Sales at the 12:41 mark. After the Jaspers turned the ball over on their
next possession, Sales converted a layup at the other end to give Villanova its
first lead of the game. Manhattan tied it up again on a pair of free throws by
Flores, but Reggie Bryant answered at the other end with a three-pointer to
give the Wildcats the lead for good. Manhattan trailed by only six with five
minutes to go, but Villanova scored six straight points to assume a
double-digit lead and the Jaspers would get no closer than seven the rest of
the way. Villanova shot 62% from the field in the second half and hit 16-19
from the line.
Flores tied his career-high with 33
points on 13-21 shooting to lead all scorers. Sophomore Dave Holmes

four steals. Senior Von Damien "Mugsy" Green (New York, NY) finished
with nine points, six assists and four steals in his final game in a Jasper uniform.

SOFTBALL WINS SECOND STRAIGHT, 6-2, OVER
INDIANA-PURDUE/FT. WAYNE
ORLANDO, FL - The Manhattan College
softball team won it second game in a row, defeating Indiana-Purdue/Ft. Wayne
6-2 in Orlando, FL late Monday evening. Manhattan improves to 3-4 on the
season.
Junior Candice Aulogia (New Windsor,
NY) went the distance for the Lady Jaspers, pitching Manhattan's first complete
game of the season. She allowed two runs on five hits while striking out three
and walking two.
In the first inning, freshman
Margaret Lafex (Syracuse, NY) singled, stole second and advanced to third on a
passed ball. She later scored when Jennifer McCracken (Wappingers Fall, NY)
reached on a fielding error by Mastodons to give Manhattan the early 1-0 lead.
The Lady J's manufactured another run
in the third inning, as Lafex doubled, and came around to score on a fielder's
choice by McCracken. Senior Meghan Farrelly (Latham, NY) led off the fourth
inning with a walk, and the next batter, Michelle Chiappa (Pearl River, NY),
was hit by a pitch. Freshman Maura Langan (Manasquan, NY) sacrificed the two
baserunners to second and third, and freshman Marina Ysaac (Queens Village, NY)
drew a walk to load the bases. Junior Candace Petrillo (New Windsor, NY) hit a
grounder to the shortstop, who fielded the ball and threw home, but the throw
was not in time to get Farrelly as the Lady Jaspers took a 3-0 lead. Manhattan
added another run on an RBI single by Lafex, her third basehit of the game.
Manhattan tacked on two more runs in the fifth inning. Suzanne Masotto
(Southbury, CT) lined an RBI-double, which scored McCracken from first.
Farrelly followed with a single, and Masotto came around to score on an error
by the leftfielder.
LaFex went 3-4, drove in a pair of
runs and stole two bases. Masotto went 2-4 with an RBI-double and a run scored.
Manhattan returns to action on
Wednesday, March 13, when they take on South Florida at 5:00 PM.

SOFTBALL DEFEATS TOLEDO 3-2 IN EXTRA INNINGS
Sophomore Suzanne Masotto Drives In the Winning Run in the
Eighth Inning
ORLANDO, FL - Sophomore Suzanne
Masotto (Southbury, CT) hit an RBI single in the eighth inning to lift the
Manhattan College softball team to a 3-2 victory over University of Toledo
Monday afternoon in the Rebel Games held in Orlando, FL. Manhattan improved to
2-4 with the win.
Manhattan led 1-0 when Masotto hit a
solo homerun in the bottom of the second inning. Toledo retaliated with a run
in the fourth off a double and a single to knot the game at 1-1. Freshman
Jennifer McCracken (Wappingers Falls, NY) started Manhattan's scoring
opportunity in the bottom of the fourth with a single. McCracken then stole
second and scored when senior Megan Farrelly (Latham, NY) hit an RBI single.
Toledo rallied for one run in the fifth and tied the game at 2-2.
Manhattan had two more scoring
opportunities with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth and two runners
on base in the seventh, but the Lady J's could not capitalize.
Toledo popped up a bunt and failed to
score in the top of the eighth. Masotto hit a single and a wild throw by the
third baseman would score McCracken.
McCracken went 2-4 with two runs
scored and a stolen base, while Masotto went 2-4 with a homerun, two RBI and a
run scored. Farrelly finished the day going 2-2 with an RBI. Kara Husband

two runs (one earned), four hits and five strikeouts. Julianne Soviero (East
Setauket, NY) came in and pitched two innings without giving up a run, a hit or
a walk, to earn the win and improve to 1-2 on the season.

BRADENTON, FL - The Manhattan College

the bottom of the seventh inning, but the Hoosiers plated 19 runs in the final
three innings of the ballgame. Manhattan's only offensive production came on a
solo homerun by sophomore Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY).

MANHATTAN MEN TO PLAY AT VILLANOVA ON THURSDAY IN NIT
Jaspers Earn First Trip to NIT Since 1996
RIVERDALE, NY - The Manhattan College
men's basketball team has accepted a bid into the 2002 National Invitational
Tournament and will play at Villanova University on Thursday, March 14 at 7:30
PM. Manhattan will be making its first NIT appearance since 1996 and its fourth
in the last 10 years.
Manhattan enters the tournament with
a 20-8 overall record and is coming off an 81-74 loss to Fairfield in the
quarterfinals of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament in Albany,
NY. Manhattan finished with 20 wins for just the seventh time in the program's
97-year history. The Jaspers were crowned champions of the MSG Holiday Festival
held at Madison Square Garden in December, beating local rivals Fordham and Iona.
Manhattan also registered an 85-68 victory over BIG EAST powerhouse and
NCAA-Tournament bound St. John's University, also at Madison Square Garden. The
win over the Red Storm was the first for Manhattan since the 1976 season. The
Jaspers enjoyed a great deal of success in the first half of the season,
reeling off 12 consecutive victories, the third-longest winning streak in
school history. Manhattan also finished with a 12-6 record in the MAAC
Conference, and secured the No. 3 seed in the 10-team tournament.
The Jaspers are led by the backcourt
tandem of sophomore Luis Flores (New York, NY) and senior Von Damien
"Mugsy" Green (New York, NY). Flores, an All-MAAC First Team
selection, averages 18.9 points per game and has scored in double figures in 27
of Manhattan's 28 games. Green, a starter at the point in all 28 games,
averages 12.0 points and 4.8 assists per contest. Green and sophomore Dave
Holmes (Washington, DC) were both named to the All-MAAC Second Team. Holmes is
the team's leading rebounder at 7.7 per game, and averages just over 11 points
per outing.
Manhattan owns a 12-8 advantage over
Villanova in the all-time series, but will be meeting the Wildcats for the
first time since the 1964-65 season. That year, the two teams met in the 1965
NIT, and the Wildcats edged the Jaspers, 73-71. Manhattan's last victory over
Villanova was during the 1947-48 campaign. The Jaspers are 6-17 all-time in the
NIT. Manhattan's last NIT victory came in 1992, when the Jaspers edged Rutgers,
62-61.

SOFTBALL DROPS A PAIR AT REBEL GAMES
Manhattan Falls to Central Florida, 12-1 and George Mason,
5-3
ORLANDO, FL. - The Manhattan College
softball team lost to Central Florida 12-1 and George Mason 5-3 at the Rebel
Games in Orlando, FL this afternoon. Manhattan is now 1-4 on the season.
In the first game, the Lady Jaspers
managed just three hits and scored their lone run in the bottom of the second
on an RBI-double by freshman Margaret Lafex (Syracuse, NY). Central Florida
rallied for six runs in the fourth inning and four more in the fifth, improving
to 16-3 on the season. Julianne Soviero (East Setauket, NY) took the loss for
Manhattan, pitching 3 1/3 innings and allowing seven runs (only one earned) on
10 hits with two strikeouts.
Then, against George Mason in the
second game, the Colonials scored all of their runs in the first inning on four
hits, two walks and two Manhattan errors. Manhattan plated its three runs in
their half of the fifth inning. Jennifer Kamph (Ozone Park, NY), Candace
Petrillo (New Windsor, NY) and Kathryn Bentz (Westchester, PA) started the
inning with consecutive basehits to load the bases. Freshman Jennifer McCracken
(Wappingers Falls, NY) drew a walk, which scored Kamph, and the Lady J's added
another run on a Central Florida error. Senior Michelle Chiappa (Pearl River,
NY) capped the scoring with an RBI-groundout to pull Manhattan to within 5-3,
but the Lady Jaspers would get no closer. Candice Aulogia (New Windsor, NY)
took the loss for the Lady J's, working four innings while giving up all five
runs and striking out two. Kara Husband (Depew, NY) came in in relief for two
innings of work, registering two strikeouts and allowing just one basehit.
Manhattan returns to action tomorrow when
they take on Toledo at 4:10 PM followed by Indiana-Purdue/Ft. Wayne at 7:50 PM.
March 10, 2002
BASEBALL FALLS TO NORTHERN ILLINOIS IN 10 INNINGS, 5-3
BRADENTON, FL. - The Manhattan
College baseball team saw its five-game winning streak come to an end as
Northern Illinois scored two runs in the top of the 10th inning and hung on for
a 5-3 victory over the Jaspers. Manhattan falls to 5-4 on the season.
Freshman Gary Diaz (Naugatuck, CT)
went 2-4 and knocked in a pair of runs, as the Jaspers were baffled at the
plate, managing just four hits on the afternoon. Junior Ryan Darcy (Levittown,
NY) started the game for Manhattan and went eight innings without allowing an
earned run. Freshman Philip Kuhner (Queens, NY) relieved Darcy, pitching a
scoreless ninth before surrendering two runs in the top of the 10th and took
the loss for the Jaspers.
Manhattan will look to get back on
the winning track tomorrow afternoon when they take on Indiana at 2:30 PM.

Medlock visited the Hilltoppers with

Dayton and I went up for the visit, though, it was awesome."
Medlock, a finalist for Best of the

HEADLINE: JASPERS, RUTGERS SET FOR NIT
BYLINE: STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Manhattan, which won 20 games for the
first time in seven seasons but was eliminated in the first round of the MAAC
tournament, was among the local teams chosen for the NIT last night.
The Jaspers (20-8) will play at Villanova
(17-12) on Thursday night, the same day the NCAA Tournament begins.
Other area schools involved include
Wagner, which plays at Richmond Wednesday night; Syracuse, which plays host to
St. Bonaventure that night, and Rutgers, which will play at home Thursday
against Yale. While Rutgers lost only one game at home, Yale has some
impressive wins on the road this season, with victories at Penn State and
Clemson.
"They're not afraid to go on the
road," Rutgers coach Gary Waters said. "This team felt they could win
their tournament and go to the NCAA. It's an upstart team, the coach (James
Jones) has only been there two years." This is the first Yale team to win
20 games since 1948-49.
Rutgers, which was knocked out of the
Big East Conference tournament in the first round by Boston College, returned
to practice yesterday.
"They're ready to get back at
it," Waters said.
Syracuse became the first Big East
team to win 20 games and have a better than .500 record in the conference and
not make the NCAA field. The Orangemen have made 21 NCAA Tournament appearances
in coach Jim Boeheim's 26 seasons.
Still, it was not a surprise. Despite
four wins over teams that are in the tournament, the Orangemen lost nine of
their final 13 games and did not resemble the team that began the season 16-2
and was ranked as high as eighth in the AP Poll.
"We were completely eliminated
from consideration, I think, when we lost our last four games," said
Boeheim, whose Orangemen will be making only their fourth appearance in the
postseason NIT since Boeheim took over as coach in 1976. "You can't lose
your last four games. If we had won any one of those four games, we'd be in. We
have no one to blame but ourselves. We had to win some games and we didn't do
that. It's discouraging to be that close."

We are currently living in London
where I continue my research toward a doctorate in Peruvian literature and
culture at Birkbeck College, University of London, under the direction of the
internationally recognized peruvianist, Prof. William Rowe.
Have been invited to give a
presentation on April 5 at a conference sponsored by Dr. Stephen Hart,
University College, University of London.
The talk will be on the Generation of the 50s, the subject of my
dissertation.
This Generation of poets, narrators,
painters and composers is considered the most important grup in the rich corpus
of Peruvian literature and is credited with changing Peruvian literature and
the way the country perceives itself.
By the way, I never did advise you
that I received a Masters in Latin American Literature from Columbia University
in May 2000.
All of this is a bit of a change from
my degree in Economics at Manhattan and an MBA in Finance at NYU, buy it is

Good Evening, John:
1 Many things come to mind re 45,000
more federales in uniform, swaggering
down the halls and being obnoxious to those few of us who still pay taxes. I
have to be in Ft. Liquerdale next month and we are supposed to fly. I may be
arrested because if any thing tries to pat me down, I will not tolerate any,
repeat ANY, familiar monkey business. I have been known in my short lifetime to
lift a knee when annoyed.
2. My real interest is in
"newshound". I will endeavor to check out his material (if I do not
have a 'senior day or two'). I wonder what his thoughts were last September
when CinC, flanked by Tony Blair, promised on national television to root out
all terrorists and the countries that harbor and support them. The following
Saturday evening, at our bi-weekly dinner soiree, a charming young woman -
whose maiden name was Clark and whose married name is Furlong - enthused about
the future demise of the I.R.A. She was quite taken aback and remained very
quiet for most of the evening when I suggested that I totally agreed with her
as long as The Orange Order, the Ulster Defense League and the Protestant
B-Specials were similarly destroyed at the same time.

"What is wrong with American 'Prods' that they do not realize that bombing
Catholic school kids is anathema to us, just as blowing up babies is anathema
to the people of Israel"?

colors judgment and makes decision-making a chore.

John,
I just wanted you to know that I
believe Judith Allen class of 1993 lost a brother, Richard, a NYC firefighter,
in the September 11th tragedy. His obituary was in the Daily News last week
(3/6?) Judy was a terrific person, very
close with her family. I lost touch with
her but we went to high school and MC
together (School of Business) and subsequently worked in public accounting
together at Coopers and Lybrand after graduation. My prayers go out to her and her family over
this tragic loss. I just thought the
Jasper community, especially those that knew Judy, might want to know.
Thanks.
Joann Pignataro
[JR: It was a sad day affecting
everyone. I passed you what was on MCOLDB for Judith and I hope you found it
useful.]

It’s very frustrating when all I see
is further governmental encroachment on our rights by extending into areas
where it has no business. Take the “water crisis” we are facing here in New
Jersey. All the bad actors – federal, state, and local – are involved.
Additionally, a slew of “regulators” – the unelected government -- are
involved. I don’t think you can have a shortage unless the government is
involved. If water was a free market, the price would go up. People would make
choices. And the supply would always be adequate. Just like there is never a
shortage of cheeseburgers at McDonald’s, when the government is involved there
always has to be a crisis.
