Pass the pasta: COCA Student Director Mike Marshall serves spaghetti
dinner to residents of the Hill Section.
A Taste of Community Service
Se rvice to the community took on a new
dimension for about 30 Un i versity students
who served a candlelight dinner for re s i d e n t s
of the Hill Section on 24 Ma rc h .
The dinner was hosted by members of
the Un i ve r s i t ’s yCommuter
and Of f - C a m p u s
Association (COCA). In fact, it was COCA
Student Di rector Mike Ma r s h a l ’s l idea to
hold the event.
✥
“ Many of the stu- T HE STR ATE GIC P L AN IN ACT IO N
dents really do care
THE UNIVERSITY & THE COMMUNITY
about our neighbors,
and we don’t want to “ S e rvice to the People of Nort h e a s t n e rPa.”
take them for granted,”
said Mr. Marshall ’01, an English major
f rom Kensington, N.H. “I thought the best
way to show this would be through some type
of service. With the dinner, the students had
a chance to serve their neighbors – literally. ”
The students invited all re s i d e n t s ,
including children, in the immediate are a
s u r rounding the campus. They served up
pasta dinners to approximately 100 guests
in the Commonwealth Room of the
Gunster Student Center.
“ It is re m a rkable that the students are taking
the initiative to become more of a part of
their neighborhood,” said Patricia O’Br i e n ,
Neighborhood Revitalization C o o rd i n a t o r
for Lackawanna Neighbors. “We have had
revitalization consultants here that have
w o rked with communities throughout the
nation, and they we re just as impre s s e d .
From their experience, usually it is the community
approaching the students.”
In the past, Un i versity students have participated
in community projects, such as
neighborhood clean-ups and special eve n t s .
“The University’s students have always
come through for us
when we have asked
them for help. It’s
nice now to be the
one asked,” said
Ms. O’Brien.
Ac c o rding to Mr. Marshall, the dinner
p rovided an opportunity to thank Hi l l
Section neighbors for their years of patience
and understanding. “They have shared their
neighborhood with the students from the
Un i versity for years without enough thanks
f rom us," he said. “At COCA, we want to
change that. We wanted to thank our neighbors,
and this dinner was our way of doing it.”
A key ingredient for the dinner came
f rom Pat Brooks, Di rector of Di n i n g
Se rvices, which donated food for the eve n i n g .
The menu included spaghetti, meatballs,
salad, garlic bread and dessert. T h e re we re
also heaping portions of calorie-free items
p rovided by the students – friendly smiles,
warm wishes and plenty of thank-yo u s .
University Community Discusses “Education for Justice”
In De c e m b e r, The Scranton Re c o rd p u blished
a feature story about the historic conf
e rence, “Commitment to Justice in Je s u i t
Higher Education.” A delegation of 13 faculty
members and administrators from T h e
Un i versity of Scranton traveled to Sa n t a
Clara Un i versity in October to participate in
the conference and to hear a keynote addre s s
by Ve ry Re v. Pe t e r - Hans Ko l venbach, S.J.,
Superior General of the Society of Jesus.
In his re m a rks, Fr. Ko l venbach re v i ewe d
the role of faith and justice in Jesuit higher
education, reflected on the concrete circumstances
of today, suggested “what justice
rooted in faith could mean in
American Jesuit higher education” and
presented an agendum for the first decade
of this millennium.
Upon returning to the Un i ve r s i t y, the
delegation sought ways in which to re s p o n d
to Fr. Ko l ve n b a c h’s call re g a rding faith and
justice. To this end, the Un i versity held
information and discussion sessions for facu
l t y, staff and students who gathered on 1
and 28 Ma rch to explore the topic of
“ C o n versations on Education for Ju s t i c e . ”
The sessions opened with re m a rks fro m
Un i versity President Joseph M. Mc Sh a n e ,
S.J., who re v i ewed the key points from Fr.
Ko l ve n b a c h’s address to a gathering of faculty
and administrators from the nation’s Jesuit

New Major Bridges
“Digital Divide”
In a move to bridge the “Digital Di v i d e , ”
the Un i versity will launch a new major in
Media and Information Technology this fall.
This interd i s c i p l i n a ry major will prov i d e
students with a rare combination of sophisticated
technology and communication
skills that will pre p a re them for careers ranging
from Web site designers to multi-media
technical writers and publications managers.
“Simply stated, businesses are looking
for people who can use technology to
communicate a message effectively,” said
Darla Germeroth, Ph.D., Professor of
Communication and Chair of the Media
and Information Technology Curriculum
Board.
For example, a person who enjoys the
world of computers but doesn’t want a
career as a computer programmer can still
pursue a career in the computing sciences
by developing print, audio, video and
Web-based training aids. Similarly, a person
pursuing a career as a technical writer
needs a sound working knowledge of
technology in order to produce an electronic
document for use on the Web or in
multi-media.
University alumnus Peter Muir ’94,
who is a partner in a Rochester, N.Y.based
computer training and consulting
business, says there is a need for people
who have a “process-oriented approach to
technology.” He is convinced that there is
a healthy job market for employees who
understand “people, processes and technology.”
A major like Media and

Information Technology will provide an
opportunity for students to develop these
job skills, he believes.
This major also has applications for
students interested in the sciences. For
instance, a chemistry or biology student
seeking a career outside the research field
would benefit from Media and
Information Technology as a second
major. With this double major, the student
could produce Web or multi-media
materials to communicate important concepts
from the field.
The new major combines the stre n g t h s
of three existing departments in the College
of Arts and Sciences: Communication,
Computer Science and Physics.
“The new Media and Information
Technology program is one that involves
the application of new technologies to a
particular academic discipline,” explained
Joseph H. Dreisbach, Ph.D., Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
“ Existing programs include Chemistry -
Computers in CAS and the newer pro g r a m s
in the Kania School of Management, such
as Accounting Information Sy s t e m s ,
El e c t ronic Commerce and En t e r p r i s e
Management Te c h n o l o g y. ”
Designed as either a second or primary
major, Media and Information Technology
includes three communication courses,
three computer classes, two physics classes,
a philosophy or theology/religious studies
course and a culminating project course.
The major also carries a requirement of
four electives in the areas of communication,
computer science, physics and writing
courses from the De p a rtment of English.
Students in the new major will benefit
from the customized nature of the program
by completing at least a minor in a
content area of interest. “To a certain
degree, we can tailor the program to the
individual needs and interests of students,”
said Dr. Germeroth.
While the major will not officially accept
its first freshman students until this fall, current
students meeting academic re q u i rements
can be “rolled into” the pro g r a m .
In the months ahead, University professors
will be working with individuals and
businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania to
refine the course content of the new program.
These partnerships will build upon
established working relationships with the
local media, including WYOU-TV,
WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV, The Scranton
Times and The Times Leader. Academic
support for the program will also be
offered by representatives from T-R
Associates, Moses Taylor Hospital,
Northeastern Educational Intermediate
Unit 19, WVIA Radio & TV and Parente
Randolph Technology.

Mridul Burgi, an MBA student at the

the local performance. She will perf o r m
with the troupe during their east coast
t o u r, which includes performances in
Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, as well as New
Je r s e y, Ma ryland, Ohio, No rth Caro l i n a ,
and Georgia. The troupe will then move
on to the west coast to complete its U.S.
t o u r. The group recently completed a tour
in the United Kingdom and has perf o r m e d
t h roughout its native country of India.
“I wanted to give the people of this
community a glimpse of the traditional
dances performed where I live in India,”
explained Ms. Burgi. “India is made up of
27 states, each with its own language and
culture. My state is Karnataka.”
The dancers will perform “Nrithya
Karnataka,” which means dances of
Karnataka. They have all studied at the
Nupura School of Bharathanatyam, in
Malleswaram, Bangalore, under the tutelage
of Guru Lalitha Srinivasan, a
renowned dancer, choreographer and
research scholar in India.
Nupura deftly combines strict adherence
to the indigenous form of southern
Indian classical dance with an innovative
spirit that makes this highly communicative
art form more contemporary.
“At the performance at the Un i ve r s i t y,
we will explain the meaning of move m e n t s
and the story to be performed before each
dance. This will help the audience understand
what we are communicating thro u g h
our dance,” said Ms. Bu r g i .
Ms. Burgi was a student of the Nupura
School of Bharathanatyam for ten years.
She has performed in numerous ballets of
Indian dance, including Lasyotsava,
Kaushika Sukritam and Meera.

Exercise Science Major Trains Students for Diverse Jobs
You don’t have to

the effects of highaltitude
conditions on
body movement and
functions. The exe rc i s e -
science lab at T h e
Un i versity of Scranton
contains a 50 square - f o o t
h y p oxic room system
that simulates an altitude
of 8,000 feet.
This is just one of the
a d vanced laboratory settings
where students in
the Exe rcise Science
Program examine the
effects and benefits of
e xe rcise under differe n t
s t resses and conditions.
The construction of a
n ew 10,000 square - f o o t
l a b, scheduled for completion
in August, will allow students to
build an even better body of know l e d g e
about how the human body functions and
adapts to exe rc i s e .
That knowledge translates into careers in
occupational sites, university re s e a rch centers,

“ Many people have the misconception
that exe rcise science is about doing and
teaching physical activities,” said Ro n a l d
Deitrick, Ph.D., Associate Professor of
Exe rcise Science and Sp o rt. “T h a t’s not what
i t’s about. Simply stated, exe rcise science is
the study of human movement. It uses a
k n owledge of the life sciences to understand
the effects and benefits of activities and
i m p rove human perf o r m a n c e . ”
The human movement studied in
Exe rcise Science can range from any form of
physical activity to exe rcise, or the training
and conditioning associated with perf o r mance
in sports. The effects of this activity
can slow the rate of aging and improve the
quality of life through changes in the body.
The Un i ve r s i t y’s Exe rcise Science program
is one of the finest undergraduate
p rograms in the country. It differs fro m
other programs in two ways, according to
Dr. De i t r i c k .
“ One of the things that sets us apart is
the professional orientation of the major as
an integrated, applied science,” he said.
Another distin-
guishing factor is the
scientific focus of
the curriculum. All
Exe rcise Science majors
must take courses in
c h e m i s t ry, physics
and calculus and must
complete a full year of studies in human
s t ru c t u re and function. The rigorous pro g r a m
challenges students to go the extra mile.
“You need to have what it takes scholastically
to do well in the program and achieve
success pro f e s s i o n a l l y,” said Dr. De i t r i c k .
In addition to stringent course work ,
the program provides opportunities for
students to test theories in a laboratory
e n v i ronment and to participate in pro j e c t s
as early as their sophomore ye a r. T h e
Exe rcise Science Laboratory at T h e
Un i versity of Scranton rivals even the best

An Interesting Insight on Interest and Savings
Combine years of higher taxes with a
lack of savings and a cultural aversion to
risk, and what you get is higher interest
rates, according to research conducted by
John Kallianiotis, Ph.D., Associate
Professor of Economics.
“The United States has the highest interest
rates compared to the United Kingdom,
Germany and Japan, partly because we are
less adverse to risk,” said Dr. Kallianiotis. “In
the U.S., some credit card interest rates are
a b ove 20 percent because we will lend to
ve ry risky borrowe r s . ”
Risk aversion, or “risk pre m i u m” – to
use an economist’s term – is just one of the
factors making up a complex formula that
determines interest rates. Dr. Kallianiotis
has dedicated years re s e a rching this area of
economics in the United States, Ja p a n ,
Germany and the United Kingdom. Hi s
studies show that in addition to a nation’s
risk premium, a country’s federal re s e rve
p o l i c y, income, production, personal and
national savings combine to determine the
i n t e rest rate of a nation.
“In the United States we have seen a
redistribution of savings in recent years.
Instead of individual households or business
saving, the government has been saving,”
said Dr. Kallianiotis. “However,
ownership of the savings has just shifted.
Overall, U.S. savings have decreased.”
To Dr. Kallianiotis, this is an indication
that taxes are too high and savings
are much too low.
Over the past three years, personal
savings have diminished to become close
to zero percent in the last quarter of
1999. Businesses have also not been saving
as much. The lack of savings increases
the cost of capital. To improve our redicament,
Dr. Kallianiotis suggests a focus
on debt reduction, both nationally and
personally.
Once again, this is more complex than
it sounds. According to Dr. Kallianiotis,
the U.S. government must reduce the
national deficit, which now stands at 5.7
trillion dollars, while decreasing taxes for
both individuals and businesses.
Individuals must also decrease their debt
while increasing their savings. The way to
do this, he believes, is through moderation
and improved efficiency.
“As consumers spend less, competition
will increase for their dollars, which
should result in lower prices,” he noted.
“To surv i ve, businesses and gove r n m e n t
must strive to improve efficiencies so that
they can do more with less. Over time,
the improved savings will increase the supply
of funds and reduce the interest rate.”
This is a process that the United States
must undertake, not only for its own benefit,
but for the benefit of other nations as
well, he believes.
“ In the world, the United States is the
t re n d s e t t e r,” he explained. “Other nations
f o l l ow what we do in re g a rd to monetary
p o l i c y, taxes and savings. Now, others are
f o l l owing our bad habits. We have seen
savings in Ge r m a n y, Japan and the Un i t e d
Kingdom decrease ove r
time, although not as
e x t e n s i vely as in the
United St a t e s . ”
Once again, however,
the complex nature
of economics will have
an impact, Dr.
Kallianiotis believes.
He has seen this in
another area that he
has researched extensively:
the interdependence
of the
European Union and
the United States. In
his observations, what
is often predicted is
not always the reality.
“The Eu ro p e a n
Union had optimistic
v i ews of the economic benefits that fre e
trade would bring; howe ve r, to date the
benefits have been primarily political or in
the military,” said Dr. Kallianiotis. “T h e

Freshman Honor Society Inducts 149 Students
A new Freshman Honor Society at the Un i versity inducted its first members at a 24
Ma rch cere m o n y, during which the Un i ve r s i t y’s chapter was named in honor of Richard
H. Passon, Ph.D., Professor of English and former Provost and Academic Vice President.
Established to encourage, honor and promote academic excellence, the chapter is
part of Alpha Lambda Delta, the national honor society for freshmen. The 149 freshmen
inducted met the honor society’s requirement of a minimum scholastic average
of 3.5 or above based on their first full-semester average of their first year in college.
In addition, to be inducted, students must have been registered for a full course of
study leading to an academic degree and must have ranked in the top 20 percent of
their freshman class. Life membership to the honor society was awarded.
The induction began with a presentation by University President Joseph M.
McShane, S.J., who named the chapter in honor of Dr. Passon in recognition of the
extraordinary contributions he made to the University during his 15 years of service as
Provost and Academic Vice President. Dr. Passon, currently on sabbatical, will return to
teaching at the University as a Professor of English.
The induction was held in the Eagen Auditorium of the Gunster Student Center.
