Pope Is Forgetful, Elder Brother Says Mon Apr 25, ===<begin quote>=== The new Pope
Benedict's elder brother, Georg Ratzinger,
81, told "He sometimes misplaces things, and all of a sudden doesn't know where his watch, his keys or a specific paper are anymore," the paper quoted Ratzinger as saying. What does Georg value most in his sibling, who is 78? "His clarity of thought," his patience and "that we help each other out," Bild am Sonntag quoted him as saying. Georg Ratzinger, who is a priest, has previously been quoted as saying his brother might be too old for his new job. He attended Sunday's inaugural papal Mass by the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger but said he had not brought a gift for a man who had everything. He said he planned to ask his brother for just one thing - "His direct telephone number." ===<end quote>=== I don’t have his phone
number but I have his email benedictxvi@vatican.va.
Ain’t I connected! Now I am sure that the Holy
Father is quite busy. If you believe the I thought the
forgetfulness, and the brother’s opinion, were most amusing. We always can
see the other fellow’s warts, but never our own. So, I will just acknowledge
that wart pointing out is above my pay grade, and get back to work. Serene in
the knowledge, that nothing ever goes “wrong”. It may not match my
expectation or desires, but what else is new. I’ll continue to pray that the
madness and folly of humanity stops and that once again we can all live in |
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Mr. Ferdinand J.
Reinke Dear Mr. Reinke: Once again, graduation day is almost upon us. In just a few weeks, I will have the pleasure once again being seated in Draddy Gymnasium at the commencement ceremonies for the more than 500 members of the class of 2005. It is always a poignant time for me, as I am close to many of the students. Host I will never see again. I have become accustomed to letting go. I know they are proud of their accomplishments and are also filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. These graduates have been well prepared for the next steps they will take in the world, but there are always uncertainties. Managing uncertainties are what the
Manhattan College Annual Fund is all about and we are asking you to
contribute. Your gifts help the Engineering is changing all the time. Row
we teach engineering, what we need to teach to prepare our graduates for the
future, and how we can better meet the needs of our stakeholders are concerns
upon which we are focusing much effort. It is important that, you, as supportive
alumni, be aware of our efforts and our vision for the future of Engineering
at • We now celebrate 15
alumni having been elected to the National Academy of Engineering — a
remarkable number for a college the size of • Our undergraduate engineering enrollment continues to grow. After passing through a low point in 1999, our undergraduate enrollment has risen steadily for each of the last five years, and we envision our enrollment continuing to grow for the next few years to our targeted size. We are currently in the planning phase of adopting a new paradigm for engineering education. Little has changed in engineering education for many years and given the dramatic changes in the world of engineering and science it is essential our curriculum and delivery of knowledge reflect these changes. As you see, we are planning for the
future here in the In addition to underwriting the School of Engineering, your gifts to the Annual Fund impact every student on campus and link your support to scholarships and financial aid, technological initiatives, extracurricular activities, world class athletics, campus ministry and social action, mentoring, career services and maintenance of the physical plant and infrastructure - in short, every aspect of our existence as an institution of higher learning. The dream of a college education has come true for these 500 bright and industrious young Jaspers. Close to 80 percent of them received financial aid. Many are the first in their families to go to college, keeping with our Lasallian tradition. All possible because alumni like you give to the Annual Fund. These young people are so consumed by the
excitement of senior year that they take much for granted. They assume that These graduating students have enjoyed and benefited from the latest computer technology, a library open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and residence halls well suited for intellectual and personal growth. This seems like just typical college life to the Class of 2005, but we know it was made possible by alumni gifts to the Annual Fund. Every year I will feel a sense of “mission accomplished!” as another group of bright, well-prepared young graduates stand proudly in their caps and gowns. We have done what we set out to do - to provide a contemporary, person-centered educational experience built on high academic standards, reflecting Catholic values and principles and preparing students for a lifelong career. I ask you to please give to the Manhattan College Annual Fund. Let’s make sure that alma mater can continue to meet the uncertainties of the coming year with every brick in its place, every essential book on the library’s shelves, every degree tied with a green Jasper ribbon for the class of 2005 and beyond. Gratefully, P.S. Your gift today of any amount to the Annual Fund will support the School of Engineering and help to ensure that Manhattan College’s “mission of excellence” to expand intellectual growth, empower individuals, exhibit faith, extol values and explore the future will survive and flourish for generations of Jaspers to come.

The Greyhound via With graduation only
one month away, seniors have been anxiously waiting to see who will deliver
this year's commencement address. Although at the time this paper went to
print the college had not announced this year's speaker, The Greyhound has
learned that former Sunny Mindel, a spokesperson for Giuliani, confirmed to The
Greyhound last Friday night that the former N.Y. mayor will speak at Loyola's
graduation on Friday, May 20 before he travels to "I would love to
see Rudy," said senior Tom Cuomo. "I'm from "He's a big-name guy, and it's really good for the college. A lot of students are from that region and will really look forward to hearing him," Cuomo said. "It is someone that appeals to all students even if they aren't Republicans," senior Kieran Smith said. "He's more than just about politics -- especially with Sept. 11. It's someone that a lot of students and parents will be happy about." "I think it's incredible," senior Matt Mychailyszyn said. "I always liked him when he was mayor. I think he did a great job when he was mayor in reaction to the Sept. 11 events. I'm really excited to have him; I think he's a great person to continue to being in the political spotlight." Students appear to be much more excited about Giuliani than seniors had been about the two previous commencement speakers -- William Safire and David Gergen. "I'm happy with it, and I think it's really good," said senior Jessica Bongiovanni. "I think people will be more interested because I think more people will know Mayor Giuliani." "Whether you
agree or not with Guiliani's policies, you can not
help but to admire his leadership during a troublesome period in history as Students hope that Giuliani will talk about his own experiences as well as impart words of advice for their future. "He's been a very pivotal figure, [so] just to hear what he has to say about moving on past college and what's important" will be very exciting, Mychailyszyn said.

of April 10, discussing how the giant and inflationary Ponzi
schemes of the central government in "The April 10 commentary of Vin Suprynowicz ... does beg for a little clarification and correction. ... Vin claims that President Roosevelt ‘pretty much invented inflation as we know it today.’ In some murky way, Vin ties Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid with the fact that prices are much higher today than they were during the New Deal. <extraneous deleted> "During his
(1932) campaign, "On "‘It became clear
to governments that they could not afford to allow people to own and keep
their gold,’ Murray Rothbard explains. ‘Government
could never cement its power over a nation’s currency, if the people, when in
need, could repudiate the fiat paper and turn to gold for money.’ (What Has
Government Done to Our Money? "On "On "As James Bovard observes, ‘Citizens had accepted a paper currency
based on the government’s pledge to redeem it in gold at $20 per ounce; then,
when Roosevelt decided to default on that pledge, he also felt obliged to
turn all citizens holding gold into criminals.’ "One day later "Government’s
policy of debasing our money, which the U.S. Coinage Act of 1792 made punishable
by death (Nystrom) hit full stride under "Has a managed fiat currency enhanced our prosperity?" columnist Smith asks. "Here’s one clue to the answer. Go to ‘How Much is That Worth Today?’ (Economic History Resources) and try a few computations. You’ll find that a dollar in 2001 was roughly equivalent to five cents in 1901. But a dollar in 1901 had the same value as $1.50 in 1801! "In other words, under a mostly market-driven money system, the dollar actually appreciated in value over the course of the 19th century – a period during which average incomes rose and the population greatly expanded. Under government-controlled fiat money, after nearly a century of war, waste, wealth-theft, and welfare, with many families now needing two incomes to live decently, the dollar today is almost worthless. "Next time you think government is completely inept, think again." columnist Smith concludes. "To rob so many of so much, while keeping complaints relegated to the lunatic fringe, requires uncommon skill of deception." <extraneous deleted> What And to think that it

Unfortunately, there will come a day when the world decides to stop sending us Toyotas for these pretty little green pieces of paper. There will come a day when the world will show up at our door with boatloads of these green papers as opposed to tankers full of oil. There will come a day when the Muslim gold dinar replaces the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. That will be a sad day indeed. Because, we will have an old population (Remember abortion reduces the crop of future humans!), a debt that we will have to repudiate (again), and sheep that will have to relearn a skill while cold, tired, and hungry. Sad to say, if we’d have been paying attention in the economics classes at MC, we wouldn’t have heard the truth. But, what is our excuse now? |
