Morris Dees Speaks at MLK Celebration
Nationally known civil rights attorney Morris Dees brought his powerful message of tolerance and diversity to Canisius Tuesday evening. The guest speaker for the college's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration drew a crowd of nearly 500 people who filled the Montante Cultural Center.
A champion of justice, Dees is known, most notably, for his lawsuits that bankrupted the KKK and Aryan Nations, imprisoned perpetrators of hate crimes and increased awareness of radical militias. Achievements, Dees said, that were inspired by the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"He was a man who faced many contemporaries with little vision," Dees declared before the crowd. "He had to face and overcome politicians with little backbone. And he had to confront a terrorist with no conscious."
The son of a white Southern farmer, Dees discussed the importance in remembering the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and not those who stood in his way. But he also warned of a battle that remains in America over whose country this is and whose version will prevail.
"This battle is being fought on many fronts and each of you - especially the students here tonight- are going to live out your life in this century and take part in this battle," Dees noted. "You will either take part by doing nothing and letting others set the agenda or you will get involved to make this nation the great nation that Dr. King knew it could be."
Referring often to their obligation of keeping alive Dr. King's ideals of diversity, Dees told the audience they must first be willing to find acceptance in those issues that have long divided the nation, such as race, color, religion and sexual orientation.
"Once we begin to deal with these issues in a way that Dr. King taught us to deal with them, through acceptance, understanding, mercy and love, we will begin to build bridges against these divides that separate us," he stressed.
Dees spoke for nearly 30 minutes and then took several questions from the audience. By the end of the evening, the audience was on its feet in applause.
Morris Dees is chief trial counsel for The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit group he co-founded in 1971, which specializes in lawsuits involving civil rights violations, domestic terrorists and racially motivated crimes. His lecture was sponsored by the William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science.
Another great civil rights leader, Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, will speak at Canisius College tonight at 7:30 p.m. Click here for more information.
Supporting the Local Economy 
Dr. George Palumbo and Father Cooke look on as Bishop Henry Mansell answers media questions at a news conference on Monday, February 11.
Canisius and the other Catholic colleges in Western New York are making an impact on the local economy and headlines news, with a front-page article in Tuesday's Buffalo News. This news comes from the results of an extensive economic impact study conducted by Dr. George Palumbo, chair of economics and finance at Canisius and Dr. Stephen Horan, professor of finance at St. Bonaventure University.
Palumbo and Horan discovered that combined, St. Bonaventure and Niagara universities, Canisius, D'Youville, Daemen, Hilbert and Trocaire colleges produce $727,737,814 each year in economic activity and generate 14,826 jobs (or three percent of the region's 485,000-member workforce).
"Clearly, our Catholic colleges and universitites in Western New York are vital to the economic health of our region," said Rev. Vincent M. Cooke, S.J. "In fact, these economic impact statistics should convince us that we must look at higher education in a new light, as a growth industry in our community."
The study also states that having a combined enrollment of 15,164 students, the Catholic colleges and universities are similar in size to the State University of New York at Buffalo. Student spending gives back $64 million and visitors to college athletic events, specifically Division I basketball at Canisius, Niagara and St. Bonaventure, generate $5.6 million annually. The total dollar impact of the Catholic colleges of Western New York represents about three percent of the total income for Erie, Niagara and Cattaraugus counties.
"About one-third of the dollar impact, or $228,432,582, is comprised of direct expenditures by the universities and their constituents with the remainder representing economic impact attributable to local businesses that support university activities," said Dr. Palumbo. "As a comparison, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership has determined that, with 500 employees, the Buffalo Bills have an annual economic impact of $33.4 million."

In a separate front-page article in The Buffalo News on Tuesday, February 12, Canisius was recognized for its continued efforts to help the city of Buffalo. "Neighboring community shares in Canisius' strength" discusses the renovations and building of new facilities on the city campus (now calculated to be more than $85 million in capital improvements), the McGowan Learning Communities Program and the new Employee Assisted Housing Program.

Remembering Dr. James McDermott
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 21 at 5:15 p.m. in Christ the King Chapel for Dr. James McDermott, dean of the college of arts and sciences, who died earlier this month. The McDermott Family will join the campus community as we honor the life and remember the legacy of Jim McDermott - our friend, colleague and teacher.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. McDermott joined the Canisius staff in 1977 as an associate professor of religious studies. He was appointed to full professor in the mid-1980s and served as chair of the religious studies department for six years. McDermott was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1999.
"He was an absolutely first class scholar," said Dr. Herbert Nelson, vice president for academic affairs. "He remained involved in the affairs of his department as chair and the College of Arts and Sciences as dean."
Dr. McDermott began his career in 1970 as an assistant professor at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.
He earned a bachelor of arts from Wesleyan, master of divinity degree in 1967 from Yale University and a doctorate in 1970 from Princeton University.
Dr. McDermott was a member of the board of trustees of St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and Salem United Church of Christ in the city of Tonawanda, where his wife of 33 years, the Rev. Alice McDermott, serves as pastor.
He is also survived by a daughter, Lisa, a son, Kevin and a sister, Jane Burandt.
Memorials may be made to Salem United Church of Christ, 114 Morgan Street, City of Tonawanda, NY 14150.
Father Fiore Named Acting Dean
Rev. Benjamin Fiore, S.J., chair of the Religious Studies Department, will serve as acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for the remainder of the spring 2002 semester. Father Fiore, who was on sabbatical this semester, assumed his new responsibilities on Monday.
Father Fiore joined the Canisius faculty in 1979, the same year he earned his doctorate in religious studies from Yale University. He received tenure in 1985 and served as chair of the department for more than nine years. Father Fiore specializes in New Testament courses and developed the New Testament in literature and art course at Canisius.
He is the permanent chair of Polish culture at Canisius and the faculty advisor for Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit Honor Society.

| Marian Meyers (left) with Mary Lu Littlefield, long-time friend and director of design and publication services |
After 15 years of service Marian Meyers, director of grants development and institutional research, has retired from her position. Colleagues, friends and family gathered on Friday, February 1, to celebrate this milestone in Marian's life. Cantio Sacra crooned the honoree with Bali Ha'i, a tune from the musical South Pacific and Stolat, a polish song of good wishes for a hundred years.
Through Marian's leadership, vision and determination the college has secured more than $10 million in federal funding, including the current Title III grant that has led to many curricular innovations over the past few years. She also secured two significant grants from the prestigious Kresge Foundation, including $850,000 for Old Main; $2.3 million in funding for the McGowan Learning Communities Program to enhance recruitment of minority students; and scores of individual grants for individual faculty members.
Cantio Sacra
"During her long tenure at Canisius, Marian Meyers has been a real force in the grants services area. She has brought millions of dollars into the college, enabling us to move Canisius into the top ranks of comprehensive universities in the Northeastern United States," said John Hurley, vice president of college relations and general counsel. "She has been a true professional in every sense of the word and she leaves some very difficult shoes to fill. We wish her the best in her retirement."
Marian was instrumental in the establishment of the college's Committee of the Status of Women in 1995 and served two terms as the committee's first elected chairperson.
She also served as an adjunct professor of counseling education and acting associate vice president for academic affairs in the summer of 1992.

Traveling Abroad to Learn the Music of London 
Pictured are (left-right): Andy Thomas '03, Jane Cary, Mike Bridge '03, Dan Saltino '04, Dan Moar '04, Sue Maguire '03, Matt Norman '03, Dan Sheron '04, Bik Quen Ng '03, Kristin Prem '03, Marisa Kossakowski '03, Melissa Polec '03, Jeanne Gephart '03
Jane Cary is pulling double duty this semester. In addition to teaching fine arts music here at Canisius, she is the seminar leader for twelve Canisius students studying at the University of North London.
Jane recently returned from a week in London, where she helped her students begin their studies which includes exploring the music of London. The renaissance music in England (madrigals and instrumental music), Handle (Messiah, Water Music Suite) and English music of the 19th and 20th centuries are among the topics.
Jane says touring the homes of famous composers and taking in the London theatre were the highlights of the trip. You can learn more by reading Jane's London journal below.
The Canisius College Study Abroad Program is coordinated by Esther Northman, director of International Student Programs.
London Journal
by Jane Cary
I met twelve Canisius students at the Buffalo International Airport on Friday, January 18 to begin our trip to London. We arrived at 8:15 a.m. London time on Saturday, and were met at the airport by Chris Rolfe from the University of North London. The first order of business was for the students to get settled in their flats and me in the hotel.
On Sunday, January 19, Chris guided us on a walking tour that included several points of musical interest. We visited the house where Mozart lived in 1764 at the age of eight when his father was ill; the place where Chopin gave his first public London performance in 1845; and a walk through Green Park where Handle directed the performance of the Royal Fireworks Suite. We ended the afternoon by attending a song service at Westminster Cathedral, hearing the men and boys cathedral choir.

Our evening activities featured a great variety of concerts, theater, and workshops. Monday we saw the play "Stones in His Pockets", compliments of Ken Sroka, at the Duke of York's Theatre. Wonderful acting!
Tuesday the students and I took part in a "gamelan" workshop at the Royal Festival Hall. (Gamelan is a type of orchestra found in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia that is basically percussion instruments such as gongs, drums, chimes, and marimba-type instruments.) Playing these instruments was fun for everyone, regardless of musical background; all students were able to make music as an ensemble. After the workshop we attended a concert of Mozart and Brahms at Queen Elizabeth Hall presented by the London Mozart Players. The concert was outstanding and we were in good company as it was also attended by "TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex" sitting three rows in front of us!
Andy Thomas at the gamelan workshop
Wednesday was a change of pace with a performance of "My Fair Lady" at the Theatre Royal Drury. We had already walked through Covent Garden (the marketplace and the Royal Opera House), so the students had a better understanding of the setting in the beginning of "My Fair Lady."
Thursday evening we attended a concert celebrating the 400th anniversary of the English composer William Lawes. It was an interesting combination of instruments featuring harp, violin, theorbo, guitar, and bass viol. Emma Kirkby, well known for her interpretation of early English songs, was the soprano soloist.
Other group activities included looking at early instruments at the Victoria and Albert Museum and a trip to Westminster Abbey. Shopping was a must during free time as well as general exploring of London. On my own I had a chance to walk through the house where Handle lived in London close to 50 years and where he composed Messiah.
As you can see, the week was packed full of musical activities and a lot of walking. London is a fabulous city, and Chris Rolfe from the University of North London did a wonderful job in making arrangements for the concerts, and being a great host.

First Place (Prize - $200.00)
Conversion
by Dr. Michael Gent, professor of management marketing
September '58 I played junior high football
In suburban Birmingham. I sweated through daily drills,
Awkward and slow; I dressed but seldom played, never started.
My friend Tom Carver's father was on the White Citizens Council.
Tommy and I discussed the news of the day like two old men
Sitting on the steps of some white-columned county courthouse;
We whooped it up when up in Harlem a black woman stabbed
Martin Luther King.
Segregation was still the order of things-separate washrooms
And drinking fountains, separate seating on buses and
In movie theaters, separate jobs, separate schools,
Separate neighborhoods-separate but not equal.
I wanted things to stay the same while I grew up, I wanted them
To wait. That was before Bull Connor, the horses and the dogs,
The Church bombing, before the "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Martin Luther King wrote "Why Can't We Wait" in 1964,
And that summer I couldn't sleep-I sweated through
The nightly drills: the comfortable White prejudices
Running up against the old insufferable Black injustices.
Finally in late July I slept; I no longer wanted them
To wait. It was a start.
Second Place (Prize - $100.00)
No More Redeemers
by Dr. Jerome Neuner, associate vice president of academic affairs
When I took it upon myself to save mankind,
I did not abhor the Virgin's womb,
But gave my Son to a woman
So He would be both human and divine.
And so a woman was the co-redeemer of them all,
Enough to solve the differences, I thought.
But how the tribes and races war!
How could they have become so many?
No more redeemers for them. This time
They will have to save themselves.
I'll send some who have a special fire,
They will all come to bloody ends, no doubt.
I‚m good at making saints and prophets.
That‚s the most I'll do this time around.
They will have to sort it out with what they have:
A few holy books, a few good examples,
A few heroes and heroines to show them how.
No more resurrections, there'll only be that one.
I hope they can go forward, more and more.
I do still love them as I did before.
Third Place (Prize - $50.00)
Help Wanted
by Maureen Hidy, payroll technician for the Controllers Office
Spiritually motivated,
Courageous individual
