The New St.John's magazineFall 2009 For Alumni and Friends of the University The New St.John’s Reverend Donald J. Harrington, C.M. FIRST GLANCE Alumni and their families enjoyed a variety of fun events at the Alumni Reunion Great Lawn Party and Concert on the Queens campus and the Alumni Reunion Barbeque and Family Fun Fair on the Staten Island campus as part of Alumni Reunion Celebration 2009. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, One of my favorite weekend pastimes is walking through the Jamaica Estates neighborhood with my dog, Stormy. One recent walk took us past the new St. John’s off-campus residence hall, located on Henley Road, which houses almost 450 students as well as several faculty who have a special commitment to enhancing our University’s residential community. As I continued on, I reflected upon the concern so many of us have had over the past year about the impact of the economic crisis Walking Stormy gives me time to reflect. And I often reflect that upon the University — especially as we opened yet another residence perhaps St. John’s is so blessed because, regardless of the circumstances, hall — and I realized how blessed St. John’s is. we have never strayed from our mission. We continue to serve those As we begin the academic year, our new off-campus residence whom we were founded to serve — in a new and always changing is filled — as are all of our residences in Queens, Staten Island, way.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

Cons as the president of Samford University. As this decision has emerged, Jeanna, Riley, and I have sought to understand God's will for Ouachita, for Samford, and for our family. We have felt the prayers of hun­ dreds of friends during this time. When I announced the decision to the campus community last month, I wrote a paragraph dripping with sentiment. Sappy as it is, it best expresses my feelings: Friends have remarked to me over the years that it is impossible to love an institution. They have said that a person may love the people within an institution, but the institution itself is lifeless and can be loved no more than one would cherish a favorite sweater or a pair of shoes.

  • Race on First, Class on Second, Gender on Third, and Sexuality up to Bat: Intersectionality and Power in Major League Baseball, 1995 - 2005
    RACE ON FIRST, CLASS ON SECOND, GENDER ON THIRD, AND SEXUALITY UP TO BAT: INTERSECTIONALITY AND POWER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, 1995 - 2005 Lisa Doris Alexander A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Dr. Philip Terrie, Advisor Dr. Katherine A. Bradshaw Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Vikki Krane Dr. Nancy Spencer ii ABSTRACT Philip Terrie, Advisor Baseball, in one form or another, has existed in the United States for well over one hundred years, and during that time it has become an important part of the nation’s history and culture. Because of its long–standing presence, baseball has helped to create and maintain national sensibilities on a variety of topics, including race, class, gender, and sexuality through the use of symbolism and imagery. This study will utilize elements from Black Feminist Thought, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Latina/o Critical Theory (LatCrit) to explore white privilege as well as the ways in which power relationships are structured by the axes of race, ethnicity, class, gender, nationality, and sexuality within Major League Baseball (MLB). Relying on textual analysis as well as Susan Birrell and Mary McDonald’s notion of reading sport critically, this dissertation analyzes the cultural meanings of four salient moments from the 1995 through the 2005 season to determine their cultural meanings which in turn will illustrate the persistence of racism, sexism, heterosexism, etc., in MLB and American culture overall. The four moments include the 1998 home–run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, the focus on Mike Piazza’s and Kazuhiro Tadano’s sexual orientation, Alex Rodriguez’s contract worth approximately $25 million annually for ten years, and Barry Bonds’ record–breaking seasons from 2001 through 2005.
