Any Volunteers? |

NO ONE? Last call for adventure! The Jasper Jottings Editorial Board --- Me and Mike --- are now accepting applications for "MySpace Investigative" reporter. No salary of course! Join the exciting world of inet investigations. You get to (at your own expense, of course) look at strange websites, some of which are … … less than tasteful. Your duties should you accept are to investigate the 1460 current "jaspers" there, find the real Jaspers, and report back to the weekly distribution your findings. Also, included are some minor clerical duties, like inviting them to join the distribution, maintaining a spreadsheet of your findings, uploading that spreadsheet to headquarters, and keep your heart pure in the quest (Some of these sites are VERY "less than tasteful"). Once the quest is completed, we'll need you to "farm" it. Keeping the seatch current that is. As a semi secret agent there is of course danger and sex involved. You must risk virus infections (computer virus, not the other kind) that are known to exist on MySpace, as well as the other Sexy sites. The Jasper Jottings Editorial Board takes no risk in this position. Should you or any of your MySpace Investigative Team be killed or captured, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of you. Good luck. Send an email to apply! For the less adventuresome, there are also similar assignments (minus the sex, and most of the danger) in: è the Martindale's site of lawyers (sex around lawyers? Nah!) with 223 Jaspers. (Can you spell boring?) è the webshots site with 6819 photos to be investigated. è the friendster site with 412 "friends" to be investigate. è the flicker site with 72 photos to be investigated. è the omegli site with 149 blog entries to be investigated. And a bunch of other places that need qualifying and quantifying. |

The The first thing Peter Rinaldi did when he returned to work in the days after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks was attend the wakes and funerals of some of his closest friends and colleagues who had died there. The second thing the engineering manager for the Port
Authority of New York and "I feel fortunate to have been on vacation with
respect to my personal safety, but another part of me wishes I was there that
day to help my friends," said Rinaldi, 57, a
longtime Rinaldi and Audrey, his wife of
35 years, have three grown children. While studying civil engineering at He had worked on pieces of the He soon found himself exploring a terrible new landscape. As it became apparent there would be no rescues - only recovery - engineering teams followed police and firefighters down darkened caves of rubble to map out what was structurally sound, what was destroyed and what was questionable. Of the three dozen trips Rinaldi made below ground, one, on Sept. 30, stands out. Rinaldi and the other engineers climbed down an emergency access shaft into the PATH tunnel, walked down the stairs, then into inflated rubber rafts to complete their journey to the PATH station. Their mission: to assess its condition. "The whole lower level of the basement was flooded
... from water and sewer lines that broke and a tremendous amount of
firefighting water,'' he recalled. "We floated
in on the railroad tracks. The water was up to the platform level. It was
pitch black. We had respirators on. It was like being in the river An immediate concern for Rinaldi
and the other engineers familiar with the The solution was a slurry wall, built by digging a series of 22-foot-long, 70-foot-deep trenches in the landfill and pumping in slurry, a soupy mix of clay and water, to keep them from collapsing. A steel cage was lowered into the trenches and concrete was then pumped into the bottom to take the place of the slurry, harden and form concrete walls. The 3-foot-thick, 3,500-foot-long concrete wall runs the
perimeter of two-thirds of the "The concern was if the wall collapsed, it would cause flooding not only in the basement, but possibly in the subway and PATH tubes and complicate recovery operations and destabilize surrounding areas,'' Rinaldi explained. "... We very quickly came up with this idea of tying the wall back. The circumstances you had to work with were that you couldn't even find the wall initially, there was burning debris all over it.'' But before the work could begin, as engineers were
assembling equipment and materials, the southern portion of the wall, near "A crack opened up on the street overnight,'' Rinaldi recalled. "I looked at it and recognized the wall was failing.'' So the Port Authority brought in 50,000 cubic yards of sand to prop the wall in place. Shortly afterward, work began to secure the wall by drilling pipes into the bedrock, anchoring steel cables through those pipes to the wall and fastening them at a 45-degree angle. "We put in almost 1,000 of these,'' Rinaldi said. They finished the job in May 2002. "That's what I did for nine months,'' said Rinaldi, who bunked with colleagues in a temporarily rented apartment for four of the most intense months. "I pretty much put my life on hold. I was there six days a week, and 12 to 15 hours a day were not unusual.'' Even after the cables were in place, the wall began to leak. "It had been traumatized,'' Rinaldi said. The Port Authority injected the wall with chemical grout and sprayed the surface with shotcrete, a concrete sealant, in 2003. "When the site is rebuilt, these cables will be replaced with a new support system,'' Rinaldi said. "There will be a whole new structural floor and wall system. The permanent build-up will support the slurry wall.'' Today, plans for the site include exposing a small piece of the slurry wall and incorporating it into the planned memorial. Rinaldi, now the Port Authority's program director for rebuilding the site, believes that is the way to preserve the past while making room for the future. "It's come full circle,'' he said. "The wall, first and foremost, is a structural element, and that's the way it should be treated. Second to that, it does have some symbolism. The wall stood up and was part of making the recovery effort happen. We tried to search for everyone ... It was there in the beginning. It was there in the terrible times. And it'll be there in the rebuilding. It's weathered through. It's still standing.'' LOAD-DATE: September 9, 2006 {mcALUMdb: 1971 } |

She recently celebrated her 100th birthday. The sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth recently celebrated Sister M. Gracyliana Rafalowska's 100th birthday. Special guests, including Sister Grace's nieces and nephews, attended a party in her honor Saturday. Sometime in the 1980s, Sister Grace arrived at the congregation's retirement home, located on Route 111. Though she has had to use a wheelchair for the past three
years, Sister Grace's intelligence and sense of humor are evident as she
interacts daily with her fellow sisters. In fact, she spends much time each
day visiting with 13 infirm sisters living at "She is in great health," said Sister Ann Marie Keemon, director of retirement. "The only time she sees her doctors is for check-ups." She is also "very independent" and, despite her age, takes care of her own personal needs and dresses herself. Though she describes herself as "shy," her fellow sisters say she is "feisty." Sister Ann Marie said Sister Grace is fond of joking with the other sisters. She is known to tell people, "You won't live until you're 100. You're never going to make it this long." When asked what she did when she first arrived at the In looking back over her life, she said she's loved every minute of her years. "I had a good childhood, too," she added. However, she also said she is "ready to die, if that were to happen." Her unrelenting faith and love for God is apparent when she reflects on her age. "I didn't ask for this," she said. "It's God's will, and when asked to reveal her secret for living a long and healthy life, she said "I pray." Though she prays for peace in the world, she no longer has
regular contact with those outside of "I read in the newspapers about all of the different things going on," she said. "But, I don't have much to do with the world anymore." "We all pray for all people, in the community, our friends, families and really the whole world," Sister Ann Marie added. "We are always praying for peace." Sister Grace's daily schedule includes waking at 5 a.m.
and attending Mass each morning in the Marion Height's chapel with the other
sisters in the congregation. She enjoys crocheting, arts and crafts projects,
reading, and writing letters to her family and friends. She also spends much
time socializing with the 58 sisters, including 45 who are retired, living
with her at Sister Grace has spent all her adult life, and most of her
teenage years, as part of the Holy Family congregation. After completing
eighth grade in At the age of 15, she had her first assignment, - to teach
101 first-graders at "They were kind, intelligent and had the quality of prayer," she said. "All of these things inspired me." Throughout her teaching career, Sister Grace studied at
Catholic University of America, For 80 years she taught children in parochial schools in The biggest challenge in her life occurred when she was forced to use a wheelchair. She is occasionally struck with neuropathy, said Sister Ann Marie. "It was hard to give up walking," Sister Grace said. Until she needed her wheelchair, she exercised by "always running around." She fondly recalls chasing after the many dogs that she owned during her lifetime. "They always came to church with me," she said. "This used to make people laugh." With her birthday celebration behind her, she is now looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at the Sisters' Lawn Festival on Saturday, Sept. 16. Her first impression of She still feels the ### {mcALUMdb: No Record Found } |

to becoming the leading specialist on autism in Ashlei Mcfarlane's
interest in how the mind works has led her to become a pioneer of sorts in Autism The 24-year-old told Flair said her interest developed in part because she had a cousin who was autistic. Autism is a complex developmental disability, it is of a group of disorders known as pervasive developmental disorders, it is usually manifested in the first three years of a child's life. She explained that some of the signs include: delayed speech, preference in being alone, throwing tantrums, not wanting to be cuddled, little or no eye contact, repetition playing in which you cannot join in or interrupt them, disruption at school and hyperactive. She notes that the long-term effect, if not treated, is going through life unable to communicate with others, locked into a world apart. "It sparked my interest because he also had five other siblings who were quite normal. But I have always been interested in how the mind works, for example, what drives a serial killer. I knew I wanted to be in the medical field but nothing to do with blood." In In her practice, McFarlane treats her autism cases with a combination of applied behaviour analysis, music and art therapy. Applied Behaviour Therapy (ABA)
is based on the theory that behaviour rewarded is
more likely to be repeated than behaviour ignored. Education After graduating from St. Hilda's High School, McFarlane
attended In 2004, McFarlane received her Masters degree in Clinical
Psychology from The focus of her graduate study is autism in children and
Adolescents: Effective Naturapathic Remedies.
"It is a very complex research project involving the use of numerous
non-prescription remedies including some medicinal plants found here in Mental Well-being Mcfarlane notes that in She noted that while working at the Anne Schwartz center she too had to see a psychologist. "For a while I too had to see a psychologist to talk about it. Then when September 11 happened I was two blocks away and I actually saw the planes hit the building. After that I saw children who were also trying to come to terms with what had happened and I had to make sure I was mentally healthy to be able to help them". Passion Mcfarlane's passion for her study of autism are evident in her speech once the subject is brought up. "My greatest pleasure of my job is to see a family who is completely distraught and frustrated with the diagnosis of their child with autism, blossom through therapy into a cohesive and optimistic unit as their child develops social and language skills and becomes more settled." But she remains a typical 24-year-old and when not engulfed in her work can be found in a shopping mall. "I'm a shop-a-holic," she admits with a music collection as varied as from 50 Cent to African drums." ### {mcALUMdb: No Record Found } |

http://subabaloo06.blogspot.com/2006/09/remembering-1-of-2996.html Monday, September 11, 2006 Remembering 1... Of The 2,996 Today, thanks to the 2,996 project, I am remembering Richard Peter Gabriel. Richard was one of the 64 passengers who perished on flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Richard Gabriel was from Richard was en route to Richard's daughter, Patricia, was working in midtown His colleagues at Stratin Consulting have these words up on the company website in memory of Richard: "The Stratin family mourns the loss of co-founder Rich Gabriel, who perished in the hijacked airliner that crashed into the Pentagon on September11, 2001. Rich was far more than a colleague. He was a friend, guide and mentor to us all. Many remember his quiet but effective style, his strong belief in high principles, and his dedication to important values. We will miss his steadfast commitment to our goals, his total professionalism and especially his wry sense of humor." Other people who knew Richard had these words to say: "It was in 1979-80 that I knew Rich at general Foods and I will never forget the care he gave me as a kind and patient boss to a former fellow Vietnam Marine. In 1992, as GF "alumni", we explored a possible business arrangement..., a good memory & a road not taken." - Dick Frankovich " Richard, may you rest in
peace. What a horrible tragedy this is. My husband Stephen and Richard were
friends years ago, and both men served valiantly on behalf of our nation in "All members of Hotel Company 2/7 would like to extend our sincere condolences to all members of his family. Semper Fi Brother Rich. You will be sorely missed." - Jon Peterson "Rich was a super guy and person and you all must miss him dearly. I know I will think of him always when I recall my childhood."- Bruce Sabin This is a security camera image of the moment that American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Just as the friends and family of Richard Gabriel will never forget their father, husband, son, brother and friend, we will never forget the events of that day and how they changed our lives forever. Richard was more than one of the 2,996 people that died on September 11th. He was one of us. Rest in Peace Richard. A special thanks to Dale who put together this project. Please go visit his site for links to more tributes and a little insight into his vision and all the tireless work that went in to putting 2,996 bloggers together to honor the victims of 9/11. It has been a privilege to be a part of this truly inspirational idea. Thank you! ### {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Richard was a member of the Class of 1971. May He Rest In Peace.

More important than his resume, however, is the family he
left behind: his wife of 16 years, In 2002, Mr. Moroney loved to run and could often be seen jogging around his neighborhood. He also enjoyed golf and swimming, and coached Eastchester Youth Soccer’s crew team. Dennis Moroney was a victim on September 11th. He was a person, with family left behind. It has been five years, and time seems to dull our remembrance of the horror of that day. We think of the victims in terms of numbers. But they all had names, families, and people to mourn them. ### {Reported As: 1984 } |

whether the glory of the stars in the heavens exceeds the glory of man. A
conceit, to be sure, and one that many today would dismiss as that which is
the worst about By all the accounts I have read, Mr. Leavey

surprise that he would rise in an engineering career to be a successful
construction manager in the city. He loved buildings, or rather,
he really loved to marvel at them, the He always wanted to be a firefighter and he gave up his
high-paying position to became one, eventually rising to lieutenant. His wife
Carole said that he was a people person who knew everyone in their town.

reasoning behind his becoming one of Joseph Gerard Leavey, 45,

http://crystalsfanatic.livejournal.com/9124.html Antonio "Tony" Augusto Tome Rocha Antonio "Tony" Augusto Tome Rocha was not just a
victim who perished in the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Who was Tony? Being like most who cried over the lists of the fallen of 9/11, when I started to research so I could create this tribute to Tony's life, I had no clue who he really was. I had to look past all those lists with his just name on it, keep hunting, spend hours researching, to find out who Tony really was. Mostly I found just his name, or just this: Age:34 Residence: Location: It's good to remember his name, and the basics, but it's not enough. As I learned more, I came to like him as a person. I lost the habit of thinking him as "Antonion Augusto Tome Rocha" who died on 9/11 and started thinking of him as Tony with the infectious smile, who helped people out, who loved his children, and more. So, who was Tony really? Tony did have an infectious smile, as you can see from his photo. He was often referred to as a "big kid", belying his not at all kid-like profession of bond broker at Cantor Fitzgerald. His fun-loving side and his professional side contributed to his being much loved by all who knew him. Tony was born in Seia He loved his children, and loved playing with his daughter Alyssa. He would take her riding on the back of his bike near their home. He rode the teacup ride with her, laughing all the while no doubt, and even played Barbies with her. His big kid side had taken over several times to see he and Marilyn, and then he, Marilyn and Alyssa, to Disney World. Tony also loved big kid games. He loved Formula One car racing, and took trips around the country to watch the races. He loved to golf. He enjoyed being a handyman in his spare time too, and was the one of whom the whole family said, "Let's call Tony because he knows everything." Tony was a very intelligent fellow who loved his work too.
He worked at the As his wife Marily said, “He was a good person. He was a smart person. He loved his kids.” These are the things we need to remember about Tony. His life and laughter brightened the lives of many. I salute the life you lived, Tony. I am just sorry it ended far too soon. ### {mcALUMdb: 1990 } |

Coppo, Jr's., death. Matt had been struggling emotionally with his size (he’d stood 6’3” and weighed 240 pounds at the time) when his father gave him this advice. “[H]e told me God had given me a great gift and that I should use it to my full potential.” Matt admitted that he took those words for granted at the time, but that they came to his aid during his father’s funeral days later—when Matt towered over almost everyone else and was an easy-to-spot focus. “As I walked down the aisle at the end of [my father’s] service, I realized that everyone was looking straight at me. I tried to appear dignified and brave in the hope that my calm, tall presence would comfort my family and friends and give them the courage to make it through.” Five years ago on September 11, 2001, Joseph J. Coppo, Jr., went to work on the 104th floor of the Kathleen also relied on her father’s insight and good
advice, saying he was "[M]y best friend, the first person I turned to

Not only was he an amazing dad, but also a wonderful coach and motivator. I have nothing but the fondest memories of him, and will always keep him in my heart and prayers.

http://www.techievampire.net/wppol/?p=336 Michael Patrick Iken Age: 37 Michael was raised in Whitestone, Michael had just turned 37 on September 8. He enjoyed playing basketball and just recently learned how to sail. He was on top of the world, happy with his life and his successful career. He was realizing the American dream. Michael was a broker for the Repo desk at Euro Brokers since July 1999. He loved his job and adored looking out on the Statue of Liberty while he worked. He married his wife on October 27, 2000. She claims that from the moment she met Michael she was drawn to his “soul”. All people were drawn to him—he had that special something that made you want to be near him. He was always smiling. Monica feels very blessed to have had him in her life for the past two years and she reminded him daily that he was the best husband ever. She tenderly points out, “We never spent a night apart; we were together all the time. We made a great team, ‘M&M’. He made me his life and I will always treasure that.” Michael was compassionate and always willing to help others. He lived his life to the fullest; he did not have a fear of dying. His wife especially misses his wonderful voice, his big blue eyes, his laugh and his smile. She says that, “I loved everything about him. I was proud to be his wife and I know he was as happy and in love as I was.” Of course, she was looking forward to growing old with him and to starting a family in the near future. Monica believes Michael will be waiting to greet her in the next life—where they can spend eternity together. Until then, she will rejoice in his memory. She believes that she is blessed to have a wonderful guardian angel at her side. She is certain that he is at peace and surrounded by family and friends as he was here on earth. Whenever she closes her eyes she can still see him smiling at her telling her to have a good day, and that he loved her, on their last morning together. She affectionately affirms, “I will try Michael. Until we are together again, I will try.” — A small portion of a beautiful guestbook entry left by his wife, Monica: “..I know he will be waiting to greet me in the next life—where we can spend eternity together. Until then, I will rejoice in his memory. I am blessed to have a wonderful guardian angel at my side. I know that he is at peace and surrounded by family and friends as he was here on earth. When I close my eyes I still see him smiling at me telling me to have a good day, I love you, on our last morning together. I will try Michael. Until we are together again, I will try.” — ### {JR: So I would place him in the Class of 1984 } |

http://jeremiahshelper.blogspot.com/2006/09/kevin-joseph-frawley.html Kevin Joseph Frawley As a part of the project 2996, today I honor and remember
the life of Kevin Joseph Frawley. Kevin was a
special man, not because he died on September 11, 2001, in the I'll let his sister, Frances A. Conklin, tell us about Kevin. "Kevin Joseph Frawley, 34,
was born a triplet, the fifth of six children. He graduated from Kevin tried, often in vain, to hide away the simple yet uncommon acts that made him great. Despite his efforts, goodness is impossible to conceal. If Kevin got word that your glass picnic table cracked at the most inopportune time, surely he would arrive at the party with a replacement tied to his Jeep. Or if Kevin found out his girlfriend’s cousin never received roses, surely he’d show up the next day with her first dozen. As always, a smile was the payment sought and received. All the “Kevin” stories follow the same theme. In life and in death, the selfless giver has been exposed. But Kevin gave more than picnic tables and roses. He had his bag of tricks and he knew when to pull them out. He would leave you with words such as "Take care brush your hair" or in the case of a balding friend, "Take care brush your teeth." He was nothing if not quick-witted. A 6’2 man wearing a diaper to ring in the New Year -- both 1989 and 1999. On his wedding day, Kevin greeted his wife on the altar wearing fake teeth. Then there was the day to day - two stepping across the street or commenting, "I can’t wait until tomorrow" when asked why he would reply, "Because I get better looking every day." And this was every morning. You could count on him. Kevin had a special every day prayer card. One line reads, "Let me be joy, be hope! Let my life sing." Find comfort knowing Kevin’s life did sing. He only held onto good memories of people and understood the nature of being human. He had a knack for recalling, "Each kindly thing, Forgetting what might sting." If I had to think of one word to describe Kevin, it would be safe. Safe in every sense: physically, emotionally, mentally. There is nothing you couldn’t tell him, nothing you couldn’t ask of him. Everyone was family and everyone was friend. Our gentle giant, my quiet bear. With our hearts we make a liar of Father Higgins for in that place a man who is so much more than good lives on." Kevin soulds like he was a gentle giant, always ready to lend a hand. In those final minutes or hours, I'm sure he was trying to help others. I'm sure of it. posted by Chas @ 11:29 AM ### {Reported As: 1989 } |

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-Lu6lwzY8YqkV53TgtjN04caGRQLcIQ--?cq=1&p=582 My blog today is in memory of Richard Morgan. Mr. Morgan was a victim of 9/11. On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. My tribute is to Richard Morgan. Please take a minute to read this article I found on Mr. Morgan. I have also included a link to a guestbook I found on the internet. I found several sites with memorials but on this one, I found many of the guests knew Mr. Morgan. They described the kind of person he was, and their words touched my heart. Until now, I only knew his name and what he looked like. Richard J. Morgan Con Ed Veteran Was Always Around to Help February 22, 2002 A former Con Ed executive, Richard Morgan rushed to the Knowing it would be impossible to drive to lower When he emerged from the subway, Morgan, who had survived
the first Morgan, 66, officially retired from the utility about a year ago but was kept on as a special consultant. He had worked for Con Ed virtually his entire career, beginning in 1961, his wife, Pat, said. He had created Con Edison's Office of Emergency Management
and, on Sept. 11, Morgan was preparing to visit the Mayor's Office of Emergency
Management in the Morgan's body was recovered Sept. 28. His wife said he was the only Con Edison employee lost in the tragedy. "Dick always felt it was never a question of when but how. He always thought it would be a biochemical attack," she said. She described her husband as "a quiet giver," a person "who did a lot for people that they didn't know about." She said at work he often helped employees with personal matters. "If an employee had a problem, he always had an open-door policy," she explained. She recalled a time when an employee's wife had breast cancer. "He would help by arranging time off and sometimes run interference for them with the company." One time, she said, he bought a cake and set up a surprise birthday party for an elderly janitor. Morgan grew up in the Bronx and earned his engineering

http://phantomprof.blogspot.com/2006/09/hazing-claims-another-teams-season.html Sunday, September 10, 2006 Hazing claims another team's season The NY Post today has the story of a stupid hazing
incident at A slew of smutty Internet photos showing coeds drinking
and partying at a hazing ritual that featured a male stripper has prompted Catholic administrators at One photo shows a half-naked man in a straw hat prancing in front of three young women, their faces, arms and matching tank tops stained with marker. Another shows a young woman being hoisted upside down and sucking on the spigot of what appears to be a beer keg. None of the women in the photos appears to be uncomfortable with her circumstances It's that last sentence that's the grabber, isn't it? To see some of the photos, go here. There's more of the Post story here. posted by theprofessor @ 8:37 AM 1 Comments: Jasper John R. said... The original expose on the site "NCAA Hazing" caught my eye because it categorized it akin to the Duke Rape case. I told that fellow I thought he was exaggerating and also messaged Brother Scanlan. In the next week, I reported the news story to my fellow alums in my weekly ezine. I'm not surprised at Brother President's reaction. He is a stickler for the rules. It was disappointing that these young women partied to excess. Some would lament that the pictures caught them. I am just sad that they sullied the reputation of my alma mater. Jaspers don't do hurtful things knowingly. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. Not that we're better than others; but that we expect more of ourselves. We are all sinners, but we obey the rules. It's a sad episode. But that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. So here we have a juvenile situation, which gets out of hand, by people who should have known better. I think that we can all learn that actions have consequences. And never do anything that you would NOT be proud to show your Mom. imho, a '68 Jasper. 2:54 AM |

http://ncaahazing.com/2006/09/08/breaking-news-manhattan-college-cancels-season-due-to-hazing.aspx NCAA Hazing We have another Northwestern here. A senior student on the women's lacrosse team at NCAA Division 1 Manhattan College has apparently publicly-posted some provocative photos of her final team initiation at the school, in clear violation of the college's policy on hazing. As reported in this morning's New York Post, Brother Thomas Scanlan, president of the Catholic college, said that punishment will include community service and canceling the few fall semester out-of-season games. Hmm. Interesting choice of punishment. The "Hazing in
any form is expressly prohibited at Such activities and situations include but are not limited to, any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers mental or physical health or involves the forced consumption of liquor or drugs for the purpose of initiation or affiliation with any organization, paddling in any form, creation of excessive fatigue, physical and psychological shocks, morally degrading or humiliating games or activities, late (post-midnight) work sessions that interfere with scholastic activities and any other activities that are not consistent with policies and regulations at Manhattan College. This policy
governs the conduct of students, faculty and other staff as well as visitors
and other licensees and invitees on The important point: Everyone is quite cognizant by now that NCAA athletes are simply not held to the same standards as fraternities, sororities, and other campus groups found guilty of hazing (or anything else for that matter wink-wink). That is a given. And now we have further evidence that even a religious college "founded upon the Lasallian tradition of excellence in teaching, respect for individual dignity, and commitment to social justice" will not discipline in a manner that has any chance of suppressing future hazing behaviors. Consequentially, the focus will quickly shift from the central issue of dangerous hazing, to the comparatively negligible matter of students posting pictures to the web. Trust us. The focus will shift. The outcome of this episode will go down precisely as such: The NCAA will continue to do absolutely nothing. Colleges will reassure its significant stakeholders that it is increasing its (ineffectual) educational efforts, and NCAAHazing.com will continue to demand consequential NCAA anti-hazing legislation by systematically exposing college-after-college. NCAA, wake up. ### http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/hazing_penalty_nationalnews_david_andreatta.htm HAZING PENALTY September 10, 2006 -- A slew of smutty Internet photos
showing coeds drinking and partying at a hazing ritual that featured a male
stripper has prompted Catholic administrators at One photo shows a half-naked man in a straw hat prancing in front of three young women, their faces, arms and matching tank tops stained with marker. Another shows a young woman being hoisted upside down and sucking on the spigot of what appears to be a beer keg. None of the women in the photos appears to be uncomfortable with her circumstances. In some pictures, the graffiti-tagged women are simply sitting around smiling with red plastic cups in their hands, apparently waiting for the next event on the schedule. In others, they appear to be reveling in the action. One woman is shown performing a lap dance on what appears to be a young man. Another is depicted grinding with the male stripper. Two women are shown lying on the floor as the male stripper hovers above one of them to the delight of onlookers. The photos - 28 images in an online album titled "Last Initiation" - caught the attention of college-athletics watchdog NCAAHazing.com, which posted a link to the album on its Web site. Brother Thomas Scanlan, president of the Catholic college, said Friday the school launched an immediate probe into the photos after learning of their existence a week earlier. " He added that "those individuals most responsible" for the initiation have graduated. Members of the Division 1 team will perform 20 hours of community service, which is optional for incoming freshmen who did not participate in the initiation, said the college's sports information spokesman, Michael Antonaccio. He added that while the sanctions placed the team on probation for three years, they permit the team to practice this fall and would not affect the more critical spring season. William Schut, who operates NCAAHazing.com, said he posted links to the photos to pressure the NCAA to address the issue of hazing. "They're failing to address it," said Schut, a former collegiate NCAA compliance officer. "Not a word in the NCAA manual addresses hazing." NCAA spokeswoman Crissy Schluep said the organization's health and safety handbook addresses the dangers of hazing and that it is not condoned, but that it is up to individual colleges to enforce anti-hazing policies. ### {JR: I'd say "smutty" isn't a correct description. AND, I'd inquire: Can you revoke a diploma? Where was the coach? Assistants? Faculty advisors? AD? Faculty? And, where were ALL the young adults who should have known better?} |

http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/sep/06091201.html Sex Scandals At Catholic Colleges ‘No Surprise’, Says
Catholic Education Lobby MANASSAS, VA, September 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Recent sex-related scandals at Catholic colleges and universities—including revelations that a former Gonzaga University president sexually abused teenage boys and women’s lacrosse players at two Catholic institutions hired male strippers as part of their freshman initiation rituals—should come as no surprise to observers of Catholic higher education in recent decades. “Catholic college educators once took seriously their responsibility to help young adults learn to be responsible, caring, moral people both in and out of the classroom—first by modeling appropriate behavior themselves,” said Patrick Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society (CNS), a national organization to renew and strengthen Catholic identity in Catholic higher education. “But today on too many Catholic campuses, students have little guidance rooted in Catholic moral teaching. Instead of ‘in loco parentis,’ the new theme is ‘livin’ la vida loca.’” On Friday, The university has never disclosed the allegations or
publicly encouraged students to come forward with complaints about Leary’s
activity; instead, Gonzaga named a scholarship for
its late president. Meanwhile,
homosexual-themed activities are on the rise at Gonzaga
despite the Church’s clear teaching against homosexual activity and Gonzaga president Rev. The disclosure of sex abuse and its cover-up are especially relevant to the annual CNS campaign to end Catholic campus productions of “The Vagina Monologues,” a vulgar play that in one scene glorifies the sexual abuse of a teenage girl by a lesbian woman, describing it as the victim’s “salvation” which raised her “into a kind of heaven.” Gonzaga has not allowed the play on campus since 2002, yet continued to sponsor undergraduate and law-student clubs which presented the play off campus and sold tickets to students. “We have continually opposed the ‘Monologues’ as a shameful insult to the victims of sexual abuse by priests, especially when the play is hosted by Catholic institutions,” Reilly said. “Can college officials continue to allow this, when even Catholic higher education is tainted by the abuse scandals?” Yesterday the New York Post reported that photos of
women’s lacrosse players from Just last month, the Catholic University of America in Since 1993, CNS has repeatedly complained about Catholic campus scandals including dissident theologians, faculty engaged in pro-abortion and pro-contraception advocacy, pro-abortion and homosexual student clubs, drag shows, Notre Dame’s queer film festival, “queer studies” courses, condom distribution, lectures by pro-abortion leaders, rampant sexual activity in campus residence halls, and “sex columns” in campus newspapers. Yesterday's "issue of Fairfield University’s campus newspaper features a column with a photo of condoms and the message, ‘Don’t be a fool, wrap your (or his) tool,’” Reilly said. “If this is faithful Catholic education, the Pope must be Dr. Ruth.” For more information on CNS, see http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org ### |
