Moravian College

Some of these artists make it seem easy. Then you keep looking, and they make doing a print seem very, very hard. Some of the prints in the juried 10th biennial "National Print Show," which Moravian College in Bethlehem organized and is displaying, appear casually put together and are easy to look at. But they are extremely seductive. The informality may be elaborately orchestrated, as in Wayne Kimball's lithographs. Once their simple charm has worked, they start taking on another life.

From the time they start school, students attend Career Days to meet professionals and see what their job options are. But what they don't do at those Career Days is take the time to ask themselves: What career would I be best at? And what do I have to do to build that career? This week, Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa., held its first summer career camp to help high school students consider those questions. "I came here because I didn't know what I wanted to become," said camp participant Greg Bader, 15, of Stroudsburg, one of 16 students at the week-long session on the Moravian campus in Lehigh County.

Daniel Dallmann is not an "eyeball realist" or a photo-realist, but at times a metaphysical realist who likes complicated subjects. Moreover, the exhibit of paintings and drawings at Moravian College by this North Wales artist and Tyler Art School faculty member throws new light on his work. For years, Dallmann - a reticent man who prefers to work quietly in his studio instead of entering the rat race - has been working in a personal artistic territory mandated solely by an imagination that stamps him as highly unusual in his own time.

Alan Heverly, typical baby-boomer, survived the '60s, the Vietnam War draft lottery, and three layoffs. He could not, however, make it through his first Generation X party. Heverly, at 41, is Moravian College's No. 1 tennis player and misfit. Last spring, eager to ease the intergenerational angst (his and theirs) that his belated collegiate arrival created, younger teammates invited him to a campus party. The experience, dude, was definitely not way cool. "I left," Heverly said.

It was an evening out that college students Leslie Pope and John Wagner will long remember. Not only did they get what they called lousy service, they got handcuffed and arrested. All over a $16.35 tip. They were with a half-dozen friends at the Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem last month, so the establishment tacked what it called a mandatory 18 percent gratuity onto the bill of about $73, according to reports. Pope and Wagner refused to pay. "You can't give us terrible, terrible service and expect a tip," said Pope, a 22-year-old Moravian College senior who's a Pottsville native, according to the Lehigh Valley Express-Times . They had to find their own napkins and cutlery while their waitress caught a smoke, had to ask the bar for soda refills, and had to wait over an hour for salad and wings, they told NBC10.

THOSE ARE MEAN STREETS OUT THERE FOR CHILDREN Our children are growing up in an ethically polluted society. Every eight seconds a child runs away. Every 46 seconds a child is neglected or abused. Every 67 seconds a child gives birth. Every seven minutes a child is arrested for drug offenses. Every 30 minutes a child is arrested for drunken driving. Every 36 minutes a child is killed or injured by a gun. And every 53 minutes a child in the United States dies from poverty. We have lost our sense of what is important as people.

Capt. Christopher Seifert went to college with one goal in mind, to be an Army officer. He wore his army fatigues proudly on the Moravian College campus in Bethlehem, where he graduated with a history degree in 1997. He'd file into Robert Stinson's history class in fatigues after ROTC training. He'd show up in full uniform to act as ambassador to prospective students and recruiter to ROTC candidates. "As passionate as he was to be a soldier, it's hard to accept that his life was taken by another American soldier," said retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Wolfenden, who recruited Seifert to the ROTC program that Moravian students take at neighboring Lehigh University.

Bucks County District Attorney Alan M. Rubenstein called their product nearly flawless, but the six men who allegedly made fake identification for college students didn't cover their tracks well enough. "We found purchase orders showing that they had ordered 3,000 laminates in a little over a year," said Rubenstein yesterday. Now the accused fake ID artists are caught and stand to be tried for 31 counts of felony forgery and 23 counts of misdemeanor records tampering. If found guilty, they could be sent to prison for up to seven years.

Vinny Nasuta, a junior from Rancocas Valley, has stood out in goal for the Moravian College men's soccer team. Nasuta notched his second shutout of the season in a 2-0 Commonwealth Conference soccer win over highly regarded Lebanon Valley. Nasuta made six saves and raised his record to 2-0-2 while lowering his goals-against average to 1.42. Locals aid Wesley Midfielders Brian Hoey (Delran) and Derrick Roberts-Dukes (Cherokee) have helped the Wesley (Del.) College soccer team get off to a 7-4 start.

"Only the groundhogs get it fresher," read a sheet that Frederick W. McConnell Jr. used to hand to customers at his fruit orchard in a back-roads Montgomery County village. At other times of the year, his students at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa., might have felt they couldn't get insights any fresher than they got from him, during the three decades that he taught philosophy there. In dedicating its yearbook to Dr. McConnell, the Class of 1970 wrote that "he is the closest thing to a genius on campus.

The chairman of the NCAA Board of Directors opposes any suggestion that student-athletes be paid or unionized because it would violate the mission of colleges and universities. Ohio State University president William E. Kirwan called pay-for-play proposals "a non-starter. " "To many, it seems simple," he said yesterday. "We should pay for play. It is a bad idea and it has nothing to do with cost. Intercollegiate athletics were founded on the principle of students in extracurricular activity.

Sidney Tillim is not one to latch onto whatever comes along. Yet he is the "glue" that binds together a venturesome "new methods and materials" show at Moravian College. It involves Tillim and three younger artists in their 30s - a painter and two sculptors - each of whom is acquainted with this prominent painter and former teacher. Tillim also is well-known as a writer for leading American art journals. All four of the featured exhibitors live either in New York City or upstate New York.

Montgomery County detectives and Collegeville police are investigating allegations that three men sexually assaulted a woman visiting an Ursinus College dormitory Oct. 8. The woman, a student visiting from Moravian College in Bethlehem, told police that she was confronted at 4 a.m. in a bathroom in Paisley Hall by three men. The woman said one of the men forced her to perform a sex act, according to the police report. The men then took her to a room in the coed dorm, where the remaining two men forced her to perform a sex act and photographs were taken, the woman told police.

Last season, Manor College men's soccer coach Bill Crowley said he had more talent on his team than he did the year before. The Blue Jays finished 16-1, won the Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Conference title for the fourth time in seven years, and claimed their sixth straight Eastern Pennsylvania Community College Athletic Conference crown. Crowley says this year's team is more talented than last year's, even though just four players return. The rest of the teams in the conference should take notice.

Kate McGonigle's first coaching job will be a high-pressure, high-profile situation, but the 23-year-old graduate of Maple Shade and Moravian College is looking forward to guiding one of the state's premier girls' soccer programs. McGonigle was named yesterday as the head girls' soccer coach at Gloucester Catholic. She inherits a team that went 25-0 last season, was ranked No. 1 in South Jersey by The Inquirer, and won its second consecutive state Group 2 championship. The Rams will lose only one starter, senior midfielder Kate Mullen, and could break into the national rankings next season.
