"Hello there, I'm
I called seven prospective
students about six weeks ago and
another ten in mid-April. They were
all high school seniors who have
applied (and have been accepted)
for Wagner for this coming fall.
Why the telephone calls? My few
calls were only a small part of an
organized program participated in by
faculty, administration and alumni to
aid the admissions office in recruiting
students,
It's no secret that applicants for
Wagner are down about 14 per cent
from this time a year ago.
We 're hoping-by talking to these
potential students in a more personal
way than via form letters-and by
answering their questions ourselves
or getting an answer to them right
away-to help them decide that
Wagner College is the place for them.
You can help by using the form on
page 9 to name students you think
might be interested in learning more
about Wagner.
Mary Boody, print-maker
One morning I happened to see a
half-dozen prints that alumni staff
secretary Mary Boody had made for
an evening course in printmaking
she had taken at the College. Three
of them appear on the next pages.

�Printmaking: An art, an
artist, an evening class
Printmaking 16. Major emphasis on
the intaglio process which includes
etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint
and mezzotint. Black and white.
Color Collograph and monoprint as
well as other techniques are explored.
Mary Boody, secretary to the
alumni director, took this course last
fall and some of her works are on
these pages. As one of the 15
students, her own words might best
describe what the course was about:
" I studied Printmaking with
Richard Gaffney. Though I had done
woodcuts before, I found
printmaking required special skills,
like cutting the design into zinc
plates with special tools, immersing
the plate in acid baths and then
inking and printing.
"We also made collographs which
involves pasting various materials
onto masonite board, protecting
them with laquer and then inking and
printing in the usual manner.
"I appreciate etchings more than
ever now that I know the difficulty
involved and the skill required to
make them. There was much more I
wanted to learn about the subject
and was pleased to find Printmaking
II will be offered at Wagner this fall."

�A Mission in
Manhattan
By Katrina Johnson
There are a half- mill ion Americans
who have t he incurable disease of
Lupus Erythematosus, with 5000 a
year added to that list. It strikes
women 85 % of the time , usually
dur ing their child-bearing years . And
hardly anyone in Manhattan knew
abou t it a few years ago .
Susan Golick '68 remembers
arthritic pain and plenty of aspirin
while she wq.c; studying in Bregenz.
As an education major , she
student-taught on Staten I sland and
enjoyed the children and the
teaching , but there was still that
arthritic pain. After graduation she
taught for a year at the Oakwood
School in California. In July 1969 she
moved to Manhattan and took a job
with the Midtown Ethical Culture
School. I n six months she was
completely crippled .
It was on her birthday , Feb. 6,
1970, that her class planned a
surprise birthday party for her. She
didn 't want to let the children down ,
even though she was feeling
extremely sick , so she went to school
and stayed at the party for 20
minutes. Susan excused herself,
walked out the door and collapsed in
the hallway. She was rushed to the
hospital , pumped full of penicillin and
told to go home.
"Everything was coming apart
inside me. I could feel it."
She could only make it to her
father 's apartment a couple of blocks
away. The next few weeks were a
nightmare. Her temperature rose to
103 and then 1 06 degrees. I nto the
hospital again in very serious
condition . She was treated for
penicillin reaction (L. E. was not yet
diagnosed) while her temperature
remained critically high and her
heart greatly enlarged.
"By all rights I should have been
dead."
The doctors gave her a high dose
of steroids. A few days later , she was
sitting on the end of her bed singing
" Oh what a beautiful morning ". Her
heart was back to its normal size and
the fever was gone.
6
Lupus Erythematosus , commonly
called " L. E. " or " Lupus ", is a widespread,
incurable inflammatory disease that involves the connective tissue of the body.
Collagen, as this binding substance is
called, cements the body cells together,
and as all organs are composed of cells
bound together, any breakdown in the
cement substance may cause damage to
organs such as kidneys, liver, brain,
lungs, heart and also the joints .
Although no age or sex is immune,
over 85 % of the cases reported are
women, predominantly during the childbearing years. Approximately 5,000 new
cases are being recorded each year.
Doctors diagnose Lupus more readily
today, thereby leading to the assumption
that it is more prevalent. At present both
the cause and the cure for this debilitating disease are unknown.
�But she was still instructed to
resign from teaching and accept
being an invalid the rest of her life.
"I'm not one to lie down and die."
When she began treatment with
Dr. Spiera, she first heard the words
Systemic Lupus Erythematosis. He
suspected this disease and ran tests
for it. The following February (1971)
she was well enough to go to
Switzerland on a vacat ion . But by the
second day she had no use of her
right side. A Trans-Atlantic call to Dr .
Spiera confirmed the diagnosis of
S.L.E. and he sent nc:eded
medication . Every three days she
called her doctor to report on her
symptoms. During one of those calls
Dr . Spiera asked , " Is there anything
you 've always wanted to see? "
" Yes , the Matterhorn ."
" Go see it. "
" Are you telling me I 'm not going
to live? "
" No , just make the most of the
time you have because when you get
back it'll be another long siege."
And long it was- ten weeks (it
was 16 weeks the first time).
"I made it again."
When the Lupus was under
control , SUSafl got a part-time job
and lived a fairly normal life . But
there were many adjustments she
had to make in learning to live with
an incurable disease.
" I believed I was going to die, and
no one could convince me
otherwise, because every time I read
a book about the d isease , it said
I was going to die."
Seeing the movie " Love Story "
sent her into severe depression. With
a doctor's help she learned that her
disease couldn 't be correctly termed
chronic or fatal , but rather it was a
disease for which there is no known
cure .... yet.
" I was determined that what had
happened to me was never going to
happen to anyone else. It was the
most awful experience , not knowing
what you have , losing your friends ,
not being able to be exposed to
sunlight, being tired all the time and
the partial loss of sight and hair while
taking medication . I wanted to show
people that they're not alone,
because this to me was the worst
misery and punishment. You say
'Why me? ' But it's not just me, it's
500,000 of us. "
This was her mission in
Manhattan , as Susan began the
Manhattan Chapter of the Lupus
Erythematosus Foundation . She
began in November, 1971 with 15
people. By March there were 90
members. There are 500 members
today and a mailing list of 1500 other
interested people. The objectives of
the foundation are to raise funds for
research , to create public awareness
of the disease and to provide
services for the victims of L. E. such
as medications at cost and a list of
doctors acquainted with the disease,
along with monthly meetings. The
Manhattan chapter also puts out a
newsletter that keeps their members
informed of fund-raising events and
recent developments in the research
of L.E.
Susan often gives lectures to
nursing schools , hospitals and other
interested parties. She emphasizes
the need for patients to feel that they
are not unique and that there is hope .
"I think we're making something
constructive out of something
destructive. "
If you 're interested in learning
more about L.E. get in touch with
Susan at 80 East End Ave. , Apt. 90 ,
New York City, N.Y. 10028.
Another suggestion for Wagner
students is to look up a new addition
to the library. It's a book called " The
Sun is My Enemy: One Woman's
Victory Over a Mysterious and
Dreaded Disease " and written by
Henrietta Aladjem , also a L.E .
patient.
You might pause for a moment to
read the inscription Susan wrote ,
remember her story and maybe give
some support to strengthen her
hope .

has 30th anniversary
Wagner College 's department of
nursing celebrated its 30th
anniversary March 23, with a series
of events that included an afternoon
seminar and a special anniversary
dinner.
The nursing division has operated
as a school , approved by the State of
New York , since 1943. By 1950 it
had received accreditation by the
National League of Nursing . It is a
four year program which leads to a
bachelor of science degree and
eligibility for licensing .
The anniversary celebration ,
which coincided with the College 's
observance of its 90th year , began
with tours of the campus for
returning alumnae.
I n the afternoon the department
hosted a seminar , " Primary
Care-The Expanded Role of the
Nurse," with Dr . Claire Fagin
presenting the title paper. Dr. Fagin,
a 1948 graduate, is chairman of the
nursing department at Lehman
College.
Dr. Fagin , and Miss Mary Burr,
dean emeritus of the College 's
school of nursing were honored for
their contributions to the
department's 30 years at an
anniversary dinner.
Wagner College students and
faculty members donated 280 pints
of blood during a five-hour campus
blood drive on March 1.
College officials and the Greater
New York Blood Program , which
mans the bloodmobile, believe the
280-pint figure is the greatest
quantity of blood ever raised on
Staten Island in a single campaign .
The amount topped the 253 pints of
blood which the college community
donated in a day's drive last year .

The Reverend AI Carmines
Chi - Rho: Religion thru multi - media
Chi-Rho Company (formerly the
Chapel Players) was formed in 1969
by six people who were anxious to
present religion through the media of
art, drama and music.
Four of the six are Wagner alumni:

This husband and wife team has
been performing on the average of
three to six times per month in
churches throughout the New York
area.
A brochure is available from AI
Wagner at Wagner College, Staten
Island, N.Y. 10301 .
Band plays in 9 cities
The Wagner Symphonic Band
covered more than 1500 miles on its
Spring Concert Tour, a seven-day
schedule that visited nine cities in
Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
This year 's tour, an annual event
for the symphonic band was the
longest since Joseph Marshall began
as director three years ago.
"The tour had a different look to it
this year, " Marshall explained, noting
that " six full concerts were offered in
addition to the Homecoming Concert
on campus April 14."
Faith and Life Week is not new to
the campus but in recent years such
special events sponsored by the
Chaplain 's Office have been spaced
throughout the school year. This year
there was again a Faith and Life
"Week".
The theme was two-pronged:
examination and celebration, or, to
be specific, civil religion and the gift
of music.
"Civil Religion" was presented by
three outstanding speakers: The Rev.
Charles P. Henderson, Jr., assistant
dean of chapel at Princeton
University and the author of The
Nixon Theology-Address: "Civil
Religion: What is it?"; Dr. Peter L.
Berger, professor of sociology at
Douglass College, the women's
division of Rutgers University, a 1949
graduate of Wagner and a leading
U.S. sociologist of
religion-Address: "Religion and
Political Language in America
Today "; and Prof. David Little,
associate professor of religion and
sociology at the University of
Virginia-Address: "Origins of
Perplexity: Civil religion and moral
belief in the thought of our founding
fathers".
"The Gift of Music" featured four
evening concerts by composers of
contemporary church music. The
visiting artists were: Ray Repp, a
major voice in new Christian folk
liturgies; The Rev. Marvin Chandler,
a former vaudevillian, now a Baptist
minister, whose specialities are
blues and gospel; The Rev. John
Garcia Gensel, pastor to the jazz
community of New York City who
brought Arnie Lawrence and his
group, "The Children of All Ages"
and also Eddie Bonnemere, one of
the foremost composers of church
music in America; and The Rev. AI
Carmines, a minister of Judson
Memorial Church in Greenwich
Village and also director of the
Judson Poet's Theatre whose
productions have received twelve
Obie (off-Broadway) Awards.
And then there were two 'Super
�Chapels' (so named by the students)
that featured the preaching of The
Rev. Marvin Chandler, an official
observer at Attica and currently
associate executive director of black
church ministries in Rochester, New
York and the Rt. Rev. Paul Moore,
Jr. , Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese
of New York.
The Rev. James A. Graefe,
president of the Metropolitan New
York Synod of the Lutheran Church
in America was on campus for an
entire day. There were other
morning, afternoon and evening
gatherings at the Chaplain 's home.

Praise the Lord for the beauty I
have seen!
And, greedily, I ask Him for a little
more time to enjoy even more.
Each prefers his own-and may
we always. There is enough to go
around to relieve the tawdriness and
monotony of everyday living .
It can be a parlor game: Name a
beautiful place you've been. The idea
was put forth at a recent gathering of
friends. Sometimes it took a whole
second for a nomination to be made.
That quickly. I was soon running a
bad fourth and in the days that
followed I was catching up via my
daydreams. Think about it, for it can
brighten and lighten your day.
So here's a partial list of mine, and
you can play "top th is:"
Eeriest-About ten miles west of
Finschhafen, New Guinea, there 's a
jungle area thick and moist, where
high waves pound a rocky shore and
inland the mountains rise like steps
until they disappear into the clouds.
What a place for contemplation!
Looking down-The tundra of the
Colorado Rockies, where the Alpine
flowers, ever so tiny, are still
emerging in July as the snow and ice
slowly retreat; high in the mountains
outside Baguio in the Philippines
where, even when you think you've
reached the summit, you discover
some farmer has terraced still
another plot.
Everlasting-Approach
California's Mt. Shasta from the
valley from the south and watch it
tower for hours with the persistence
of Mt. Fujijama. I made the trip in the
days when trains still ran and the
snow-capped peak twisted and
turned and teased me for ever so
long.
Mysterious-The Scottish
highlands in North America, on Cape
Breton Island, with vistas that can
make a poet out of the worst of us.
One's car seems to be an
anachronism.
Chilling-New Hampshire's Mt.
Washington in the spring or fall
when, suddenly, while driving up one
reaches an Antarctica, with the hoar
frost inches thick and the buildings
seem to lean against the wind.
Sure, mountains fascinate me, but
there is more. There are colors.
White on white-Hope that
someday you'll fly across the Arctic
on a sunny day and can gaze on the
ice cap at once so smooth and yet in
tumult. Can there ever be so m~ny
dazzling whites?
Color on color-The Grand
Canyon from the south rim which
becomes a slow-moving
kaleidoscope as the sun shifts.
Here's a special challenge for the
color photographer who thinks he's
captured the big hole.
Light specks on black-New York
City at night from the crown of one of
the great bridges, such as the
Verrazano-Narrows. Spectacular is
an understatement.
White on black-Watch the white
water from the waves splashing
against the black coral near Kona on
the big island of Hawaii. No need for
color photography there.
The list seems endless and you 've
probably already topped me, but
here's a few more.
Tiny life-Patiently peer into the
sea pools, the backwater of the tide
along the rocky shore of Maine;
specifically at Mt. Desert Island.
Ever so clean-The waters of the
Caribbean are still mostly unspoiled .
Ride a craft or swim along a reef and
look deep down, perhaps 60
unimpeded feet. It's a special
tranquil world.
Moment of mystery-Would you
believe South Beach? Go down Sand
Lane and walk less than a
quarter-mile south on the Boardwalk
on a clear day. Look straight out to
sea. The abandoned islands look like
tropical isles. If there's a youngster
about, you're almost sure to hear him
observe it.
There are visions of beauty almost
everywhere in things and places ..
. the great grain fields of the Midwest.
.. almost any part of the English
countryside ... the Rhine Valley ..
.Ghilberti's Baptistry doors in
Florence ... Hadrain's Castle (San
Angelo) in Rome ... or your own
living room on a winter's day when
the sun's rays creep along to etch
every article so vividly.
Someday I may rent Wordworth 's
bedroom in the Lake District. But
have you seen that view? It may
knock all the other beauty right out of
your head.

Seahawks take 19 losses In
basketball-- "We're building"
To measure Wagner College
basketball coach John C. Goodwin
by his initial record of five wins and
19 losses would be poor judgement
and very bad taste, when you
consider that the young mentor
inherited a team that had posted only
an 8-17 record the year before, had
very little chance to recru it any of his
own ballplayers and the overriding
fact that the man lives basketball.
If high school schedules permit
viewing three games a day, Goodwin
makes it a point to see those three
games in a day. And he also makes a
point of sending assistant Ron
Cooper to three more. Recruiting and
building a formidable team is that
sort of business .
Goodwin came to Wagner after
two years at Rider College where he
helped in forming two very
successful seasons for the Broncs
under John Carpenter. During those
years, Goodwin was the chief
recruiter.
New Basketball
Coach John Goodwin
16
Goodwin's contract with Wagner
became effective Sept. 1, after an
announcement by the College May
25 , 1972. Still, in that span , when he
was not officially working for
Wagner, he made at least two key
contacts with players that showed a
measure of success this past
season . Joe Hatrak from Roebling ,
N.J. became a starter at guard early
in the season and wound up with an
8. 2 average. The other, Jim Heyden
of River Vale, N.J., battled with
illness for the first half of the
campaign before coming on as a
third forward .
Goodwin 's major thrust of the past
season was " The Team ." He
discouraged individual performance
for its own sake and sought to have
his players relate their own efforts to
the team effort. His offense, more
often , was deliberate and patterned.
Although losing 19 games, many to
metropolitan powerhouses like Long
Island University, Manhattan, St.
Peter 's, and some in the Middle
Atlantic Conference's college
division where the Seahawks were
more in their class , the team
members maintained their spirit and
attitude toward playing each game as
if they could win it.
The Seahawks, more often than
not, were outmanned in every game.
Wagner's " big man " was a mere 6-6;
forwards were no taller than 6-4 ;
guards were 5-10 mostly and no
taller than Hatrak's 6 foot even. At
times in the latter part of the season ,
Goodwin 's starting five would include
three freshmen .
There was no doubt: Goodwin was
building and had a ways to go.
The season was a long one, but
probably longer for Goodwin than for
anyone else. It was his first as a head
coach and he had always been
associated with a winner in the past:
in high school where he had earned a
handful of personal honors, in
college and in service ball.
" We 're building, " Goodwin
stresses, and he aims to have
Wagner back in the thick of the MAC
college race in another two years.
�Seahawk sports
From the News Bureau
Most winning team
The Seahawk girls' basketball
team showed plenty of style this past
season.
The 1972-73 season was the
culmination of a lot of hard work for
coach Pat Bramwell and her players.
Their 11-3 season record-the best
in Coach Bramwell's three-year
tenure at Wagner-can attest to that.
"There was a lot of talent on this
year 's squad and we had been
building this team for a couple of
years."
Senior co-captain guards Grace
Mulligan and Lois Weierstall were
with the team for three years and
forwards Kathy Darraugh and Elaine
Del Priore have been wearing the
Green and White for two years.
Throw in the team's leading scorer,
Sue Blomquist, and the Seahawks
had a perfect blend of many talents.
With a new-found offense (thanks
to the help of Dave Easton), the
Seahawks found themselves winning
game after game and also beating
the likes of Lehman, L.I.U., Hofstra,
N. Y.U. and Brooklyn-schools that
used to look forward to a breather
with Wagner .
And though the Seahawks lost
their season finale to Newark State,
on the whole it was a
more-than-rewarding campaign for
Wagner's most winning team in
1972-73.
Pitching and power
It may have been a long time
coming but it appears that Wagner
College finally has the tools and the
talent to do a little shaking in the
Metropolitan College Baseball
Conference.
Before the season had opened,
head coach Ralph Ferraro was
streSSing pitching and power-two
facets of the game that the
Seahawks had been missing for
some time.
But the Seahawks proved Ferraro
correct in the season lid lifter against
Seton Hall University as starter Gary
LaFrano and reliever Greg Lyon
combined to limit the Pirates to only
four hits and outfielder Colt Helbig
supplied the big hit-a game-winning
home run in the 10th inning-for a
3-2 victory.
The lone senior, Jim Hudson, and
junior Rich Smiechowski co-captain
this year's relatively young squad and
once again Wagner plays in one of
the toughest baseball loops in the
country.
It remains to be seen if the
Seahawks can meet the challenge of
their heavy-duty schedule but if the
pitching and power holds up, Wagner
. won't be embarrassed this year.

�Wagner Guild
celebrates 55th
By Ave Holthusen Futchs, Historian
One of the largest national
magazines has on its masthead the
sentence " Never underestimate the
power of a woman". This could well
be said of the members of the
Wagner College Guild . They have
been a quiet, often unrecognized but
effective part of the life of the
College.
When the College moved from
Rochester , N. Y. to Staten I sland the
buildings were inadequately
furnished , help was almost
impossible to get and bills had to be
met. The Board of Trustees often
turned to the Guild for help . Kitchen
furnishings- pots, pans, dish towels ,
dishes and silverware-were
needed. Several bills for coal were
paid in full by the Guild-one for
$2000, another for $900-and there
were others. Gifts to the Challenge
Fund and to the Girls' Dormitory
(later named Guild Hall) and gifts to
beautify the chapel and chancel in
the auditorium were a part of our
projects .
The Guild came about with the
disbanding of the Seamens ' Guild of
New York City when the war
prevented seamen from coming into
the harbor. The nucleus of treasury
and membership became the
Wagner College Guild in 1918. It
grew amazingly in membership and
large meetings were held in the
various churches of the New York
area. In 1920 the Guild was
incorporated .
Dr. Frederick Sutter , president of
the Wagner Board of Trustees and
pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church,
was a staunch supporter of the Guild
and often expressed his deep
appreciation. Under the leadership of
Mrs. Meurer the women of Trinity,
most of them Guild members ,
responded to many calls of service.
The food served on annual College
days was prepared and served
mostly under their sponsorship
(remember the wonderful clam
chowder?) and often netted $2000.
I n her brief history of the College
in the October , 1958 " Wagnerian, "
Mrs. Miriam Gross writes "Also to be
18
noted is that the original Wagner
Guild was organized with thirty-seven
members on Dec. 9, 1908, the same
year Wagner celebrated its 25th
birthday. (This was in Rochester,
N.Y.) The Wagner Parent Guild , as
we now know it, was organized in
January, 1918 . .. . The Staten Island
Chapter was organized in November ,
1940." Another Chapter was formed
in New Jersey in 1958 and was an
active part of the Guild until it
dissolved in 1967. During those years
two financially successful and
enjoyable plays by the College
Players were sponsored by the New
Jersey Chapter.
Men were now encouraged to join
the Guild and the membership
widened to include any friend of the
College . While financial gifts
continued through the treasury , a
new objective became important. We
became good will ambassadors to
young people considering college .
Two major projects have
continued as dear to the hearts and
plans of the Guild . The endowment
fund for scholarships has been
enlarged through special gifts and
through the " Golden Books of
Memory." Gifts are recorded and the
money added to the Scholarship
Fund.
A chapel for the College has long
been a dream and we hope it can be
realized . Many gifts and bequests
have been made and this fund plus
the Scholarship Fund will be the
ongoing goals of the Guild .
Four meetings a year are held on
campus . The programs are vital and
interesting . Business is kept to a
minimum .
Over the fifty-five years of happy
association with the faculty and staff
of the College we have watched the
College grow amazingly and
unbelievably.
Too many people and members
have given of their time and gifts to
mention anyone by name especially,
but each of us has had a real part
through the work of the Guild in
furthering the good of the College.
