Jack RubyshootsLee HarveyOswaldRobert H. Jackson<strong>Maryville</strong> to Host PulitzerPrize Photo Exhibit<strong>Maryville</strong>by Rick ArnoldRon Olshwanger does not know if his picturesspeak a thousand words but he knows of onephoto in particular that has saved thousandsof lives around the world.That photo, taken in the early morning hours of Dec.31, 1988, depicts St. Louis City firefighter Adam Long givingmouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a 2-year-old girl ashe carries her from a burning home. (The baby later diedat the hospital.) The photo originally was published inthe St. Louis Post-Dispatch a few days later, Olshwangersaid, adding the photo quickly was put on the wire servicesand published in newspapers across the UnitedStates and around the world.“He (Adam Long) was told that at one time, that photohung in more fire stations than any other photo,”Olshwanger remarked, noting the image was a tremendousasset to fire departments in promoting the installationof smoke detectors in homes.4


joined the board as a way of repaying <strong>Maryville</strong> for theeducation he received.“I believe I bring to the board the experiences ofsomeone accustomed to working in a large business andwith government entities,”Viau said, adding that servingon the board offers a different perspective.“I can see that the leadership of the School is alsoexcellent and very much focused on delivering a qualityproduct to their customers, the students,” he commented.Kate Zuckerman Turner (’99, B.S.,Accounting) recentlyjoined the Advisory Board and feels her experience asmanager in Financial Reporting at KV Pharmaceutical Co.is an asset in offering ideas on how to strengthen theAccounting program.“With the business field adapting to new legislation,including Sarbanes-Oxley, it is crucial for <strong>Maryville</strong>’sSchool of Business to ensure that its graduates are wellprepared and have a general knowledge of all businessaspects,”Turner said.Horwitz plans to put her newly expanded AdvisoryBoard right to work by involving them in a mentoringprogram for School of Business students that is slated toget started this fall. Juniors and seniors would bematched with a board member of compatible interest todiscuss career opportunities and lessons that board membershave learned in the business world.“The program would be for our best students, not necessarilyin terms of GPA but in terms of overall performance,”Horwitz noted.“Because we’re a smaller schoolwith smaller classes, we have the flexibility to try specialprograms.That’s where <strong>Maryville</strong> has an advantage.”She added the School of Business will maintain itsinvolvement with the Regional Business Council mentoringprogram, for which three <strong>Maryville</strong> students are chosen.Students in both mentoring programs will speak thisyear at a meeting of the <strong>Maryville</strong> Business Organization,a new club that will be open to all <strong>Maryville</strong> Businessstudents.And if that wasn’t enough, the <strong>Maryville</strong> Talks Businesslecture series enters its fifth year. Previous lecturers haveincluded Mark Lamping, president of the St. LouisCardinals; Barry H. Beracha, chairman and chief executiveofficer of The Earthgrains Co; and J. Patrick Mulcahy, chiefexecutive officer, Energizer Holdings, Inc.<strong>Maryville</strong> Talks Business “builds awareness and communicatesto CEOs that we have exciting things happeninghere,” Horwitz said. MPam Is A People Personby Rick ArnoldPam Horwitz always has considered herself a peopleperson and that has served her well in her 25years with <strong>Maryville</strong>’s John E. Simon School ofBusiness.“When I became division chair, my strength wasplanning and building relationships on campus,”Pam said. “I’m a big picture person. I like to createthe direction.”Pam joined the Business faculty in August 1980 asits fourth full-time faculty member. She served asdivision chair from 1985 through 1991, when shereturned to the faculty. Pam returned to administrationin 1997 when she replaced Ray Smith as theSchool’s dean.“When I came in as dean, the emphasis was oninternal operations,” she said. “The last two to threeyears, the emphasis has switched to corporate andcommunity outreach.”And that suits Pam just fine.“I like the interpersonal interaction. I’m a goodmeet ’em and greet ’em person.”Pam keeps a fresh perspective by teaching anoccasional class and serving as a consultant/evaluatorfor the North Central Accreditation Association.“That’s especially important for me because I’vebeen here a long time,” she remarked. “You getprovincial. Anything that helps me understand thebig picture is pretty important.”<strong>Maryville</strong>9

lahblahblahCELLPHONES:yakittyyakyakNECESSITYorNu isance<strong>Maryville</strong>12by Rick ArnoldIf you think that every other person you see hasa cell phone protruding from their ear, you areright.According to a recent article in the St. LouisPost-Dispatch, 166,473,391 Americans - more thanhalf the population - are cell phone subscribers,with St. Louis being one of the top five areas nationwidefor cell phone use per capita.About 80 percent of St.Louis area residents use cell phones, statistics show.And they are used everywhere: restaurants, theatres,auditoriums, ball games.Announcements even are madenow in churches, asking that cell phones be turned off.Teenagers without cell phones are considered to be“uncool.”But how necessary are cell phones? Are they vital linksto staying connected with family, friends and the officeor are they overused gadgets that are more luxury thannecessity? And have they had a negative impact on howpeople interact in public?The answer to the latter question is a definite “yes,”says longtime Psychology Professor Dr. Dan Sparling, whoalso is serving as interim dean of the School of LiberalArts and Professional Programs for the 2004-05 academicyear.“Social etiquette and mores do not seem to be keepingup with the fast pace of technology,” Sparling said.“Theallure of gadgetry and convenience seems to have overwhelmedvalues of civility and politeness.As educators, Ithink we need to start addressing these issues in theclassroom.”Sparling cited a recent article in the New York Timesdescribing an incident in which a woman on an airplanerefused to get off her cell phone so that the plane could


depart.The incident culminated with the woman beingarrested and charged with assault after slapping an airlineofficial who insisted that the woman end her call.Sparling admits this is an extreme case but says theincident is indicative of the troubling aspects of cellphone use, especially the exaggerated sense of entitlementthat a cell phone tends to give its owner.“People behave as if their phone call has precedenceover face-to-face conversations or just about anythingthat happens to be going on at the time,” he commented.On the receiving end of one such situation was Dr.Stacie Bunning,a clinical psychologist and a member of<strong>Maryville</strong>’s adjunct Psychology faculty for the past 10years. She recalled a therapy session about four yearsago when a patient interrupted the session to take a cellphone call.“She didn’t excuse herself or leave the room, just satthere in my office and chatted with her friend,” Bunningsaid.Bunning’s patient committed a major cell phone fauxpas, says St. Louis etiquette teacher Dorothy HughesSoskin (’56, B.S., Education, Sociology), who added a sectionon cell phone use to her classes a few years ago.Soskin believes that cell phones only should be used “asemergency tools and portable answering machines.” Sheadded that if cell phones must be used, in restaurantsfor example, that callers should use conversational tonesand not yell into the phone. Soskin noted that patronsannoyed by impolite cell phone use always should contactthe manager and never confront the user directly.Of course, one person’s impoliteness is another’sproper behavior, Sparling said, referring to what psychologistscall the actor-observer effect.“This refers to a common bias in our social judgmentssuch that when we explain other people’s behavior, wetend to rely on personal characteristics but when weexplain our own behavior, we focus on situational factors,”he said.“Thus, when someone interrupts your faceto-faceconversation to take a call, you judge the behavioras rude. However, when you are the one doing theinterrupting, you judge your behavior as required by thesituation.”And there are definitely times when cell phones comein handy. <strong>Maryville</strong> Interior Design Professor LisaSelligman tells the story of how having a cell phone preventedher and family from being stuck in the middle ofthe lake in a boat with a dead engine while on vacation.“After listening to the motor fail to start a couple oftimes, Bob (the owner of the boat dock) sighed andsaid, ’I’ll be out to pick you up.’About 20 minutes later,we were on our way back to the marina, coasting alongbehind the dock’s maintenance boat,” Selligman said.Cell phone use is here to stay, Soskin said, but toleratingrude cell phone users may become a thing of thepast. She thinks improper cell phone use “is getting outof hand” and predicts that, sooner or later, there will bea backlash against it. MWhen asked for their cell phone stories,<strong>Maryville</strong> faculty and staff had plenty toshare. Here are a few of them:“My husband was at a Cardinal baseball game one Fridaynight. His cell phone was clipped on his belt and must have gottenbumped and it dialed the last number in memory which happenedto be mine. My cell phone rang and I answered it. I couldhear my husband yacking away (this is common for him, heworks in radio) but he could not hear me. .. Suddenly it beganto pour down rain and I knew he had a tiny umbrella just bigenough for one person. I heard some giggly female voices andhe then offered to share his umbrella with two women. Ofcourse, in my female brain, I imagined them both to look likePamela Anderson. I imagined them huddled together under thistiny umbrella with my husband! I began yelling his name into thephone and then we got disconnected!My imagination was running wild. I found out later that thewomen looked nothing like Pamela Anderson and were oldenough to be his mother. The next holiday, my husband receiveda huge umbrella, large enough for several people to stand undercomfortably.”— Dianna Phares, MSN,RN,BC,FNPAssistant Professor of Nursing“My cell phone number has been published across the countrybecause, except for a different area code, it is the same as thenumber for Lock and Dam #25 in Winfield, Mo. My area code is314, theirs is 636. I get calls from barge operators saying we’recoming through. I say, no, wait, you need to call someone else.But at least I always know about conditions on the MissouriRiver.”— Pam HorwitzDean, John E. Simon School of Business“I had a negative cell phone story. I got my car totaled becausea man was talking on his cell phone and ran a red light andmade a left turn over the hood of my car. After the collision settleddown, the guy still had the phone to his ear and was still onhis call.”— Angela MeierWeekend and Evening College“Well, I was honored to be invited to the Sports CelebrityDinner where Jen Kypta received her Female College Athlete ofthe Year Award from the M.S. Society in February. However, thedownfall of being invited was that it meant that I would have tomiss the men’s basketball game vs. Webster, which promised tobe a great game and was very important to the team’s pursuit ofa conference championship. Not wanting to wait until that nightor the next morning to get the postgame update, I trained Dr.Triplett on how to use the text messaging feature that has becomeso popular lately. She gave me continuous (approximately every15 minutes) updates of the game, complete with scores andhighlights via text message. It turned out to be one of the moreexciting games of the year so I was thankful to not have to completelymiss it (as were the other <strong>Maryville</strong> folks at the dinnerwith me!!). Thankful for text messaging. . .”— Brian Gardner ’03Student Life<strong>Maryville</strong>13


Rosemary Retires<strong>Maryville</strong>14Somewhere out there is a former employee ofWashington <strong>University</strong>’s admissions departmentwho forgot to make an important phone call tothe home of Rosemary Gidionsen in the late summerof 1946.Wherever that person is today, Rosemaryhas two words:Thank You!“I’ve always said that I don’t know who that person isbut I’m forever indebted,” she said in a recent interview.That admissions employee, she later learned, was supposedto call Rosemary to inform her that she had beenaccepted into Washington U.’s art program, whereRosemary planned to study fashion illustration.Whenthat call never came, a friend told her that <strong>Maryville</strong>College’s semester was starting soon. So Rosemary andher father paid a visit to Mother Odeide Mouton,<strong>Maryville</strong>’s president.Thus began an affiliation between Rosemary and<strong>Maryville</strong>, spanning six decades that officially ended May31 when Rosemary retired as executive assistant to thepresident, a position she had held since 1977.“I think everyone finds their own time to retire andthis is my time,” Rosemary commented.“I want to dowhatever I want to do whenever I want to do it.”That first meeting with Mother Mouton was the beginningof a long and cherished friendship, which lasteduntil her death in the 1990s.


“Next to my parents,she was the strongestinfluence in my life,”Rosemary said, notingthat she even visitedMother Mouton on herwedding day, an alumnaetradition in a time whencloistered nuns could notattend weddings.“Shewas a brilliant woman ofdeep integrity and greatwit. She was charming, adynamic leader. Just talkingto her was an incredibleexperience.”Rosemary graduatedfrom <strong>Maryville</strong> in 1950with a major in Englishand minor in kindergarteneducation. Shethen attended Washington<strong>University</strong>’s Art School for ayear as a special student and worked in the art departmentat Famous-Barr for a year before she married.Soon after, she started a family, having five children:Maria,Abbie, Rosemary, Beth and D.J.All five of her childrenfollowed in their mother’s footsteps and attended<strong>Maryville</strong> at some point with Rosemary and D.J. graduatingfrom <strong>Maryville</strong> in 1982 and 1985, respectively. D.J.now serves on the John E. Simon School of BusinessAdvisory Board.The Gidionsen offspring recently haveestablished the Rosemary Holland Gidionsen EndowedScholarship to honor their mother.“RoRo used to tell me that she knew who (facultymembers) knew me because they would pronounceGidionsen correctly,” Rosemary said with a laugh.In the late 1960s, deciding another income would behelpful with five mouths to feed, Rosemary called uponher artistic skills to illustrate two children’s books.Aboutthat time, she read in <strong>Maryville</strong>’s alumni magazine that<strong>Maryville</strong>’s alumni director was retiring. She learnedabout it that way even though the alumni director, thefirst in the school’s history, was her aunt, DorothyGaresche Holland ’26.“I called her to see if she thought I was qualified andshe thought I was. Fortunately in the interview process,Sister Mary Gray McNally, then president of <strong>Maryville</strong>,agreed and hired me. I have always been grateful to herfor that opportunity.” So, in 1969, Rosemary became<strong>Maryville</strong>’s second alumni director.Over the next eight years, her title would change severaltimes to reflect increasing responsibilities she wasgiven in dealing with parents and other constituencies ofthe college. It was during that period that the Religiousof the Sacred Heart made the historic decision to turnover control of <strong>Maryville</strong> to a lay board of trustees.Whenthe lay board was formed in 1972, it was composed ofRosemary receiving the dedication plaque naming in her honor theSacred Heart Chapel located in Huttig Chapel.members of the Religiousof the Sacred Heart, alumni(ae),community leadersand husbands ofalumni(ae).One of those, James S.McClellan, Sr., husband ofalumna Delphine SeaboldMcClellan ’35, was the firstchairman of the newBoard of Trustees.A distinguishedattorney andhighly respected memberof the St. Louis community,McClellan’s leadershiphelped bring acceptanceand support of the direction<strong>Maryville</strong> was takingin changing times,Rosemary firmly believes.The period marked theunique affiliation betweenthe religious and the layboard which allowed the Sacred Heart mission of educationto continue when the Society could no longer supportit alone.That affiliation continues today with fivereligious on the board.As an alumna and a college employee, Rosemary had aunique perspective of that “very stressful time,” whichshe said was helpful in explaining the decision to othergraduates.“I think I’ve been able to ’smooth the waters’ on occasionswhen it was necessary,” she remarked. Rosemarysaid wearing those two hats through the years was nomore difficult than other juggling acts she has accomplished.“I balanced being a wife, mother and alumni director.Now, that was a true balancing act!”In 1977, Claudius Pritchard became president of<strong>Maryville</strong> and asked Rosemary to become his executiveassistant. She was asked to stay in that role by KeithLovin when he became president in 1992.“I think one of the things I’ve been grateful for is toinfluence, in a small way, some of the direction of the<strong>University</strong>. Fortunately, I’ve had the confidence of thepresidents.”Rosemary said she will miss the daily interaction withher <strong>Maryville</strong> colleagues but added,“as a former student,alumnae, parent of alumni, member of the administration,I have been blessed to have <strong>Maryville</strong> be so much a partof my life and it will always be.”“I never have a day that is the same as the day before.Every day is different, every day is challenging.”She will be anything but sedentary in her retirement,already committing to volunteer work with Forest ParkForever, the Art Museum, Missouri Botanical Garden andThe History Museum.
