What about Fanny Blankers-Koen, For olympic track golds at 1 olympics while also being a full-time mother & Housewife, Thats is impressive and in my opinion makes her the greatest.

Comment on Tate coaches Team USA at Five Nations by Al-Tony Gilmore

Norm Tate had more track and field ability than anyone in the history of the CIAA and most other places.
He was “world class” in the 200, long and triple jumps, and a great, great, person. If he really wanted to, he would have also been world-class in the 400.

We were teammates under Coach Dr.Leroy T. Walker at NCCU in the 1960′s.

Comment on The Whitney House and its history may be lost by EJ

The plain and simple fact is Rowan destroyed this historical building with years of neglect and is now finishing it off with a bulldozer. While a group of young men’s living conditions may not be 100% sanitary, it can not undermine the structural integrity of a house. However leaving any building interior open and exposed to the weather and holding SWAT and Firefighter training exercises will cripple it every time. Congrats Rowan on the new acreage, the price tag for wiping away history might be a little higher then you think.

Mia Hamm greater than the babe. If the babe was alive, Mia would probably agree, she would have also been one of the greatest soccer players. And obviously, would have played in the wnba.

You must be kidding, How about the All American basketball. player who won two gold medals in the 1932 olympics in track and field and won the US womens open in golf 3 times – not to mention 41 lpga tour events. I really hate it when writters don’t know what they are talkin about.

Comment on College performs “Fiddler on the Roof” by The Jury

The Jury — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:46:10 +0000

Wow, I’m mad I missed this. This would have been much fun to jump into. Nothing’s more funny than a group of theatre people questioning a journalist’s work. Of course, this is under the assumption that finding jobs after college automatically makes you a quality actor/actress/dancer/etc., as well as an ombudsman for a student publication.

As Brett said, there’s more to this paper than theatre arts. What he didn’t explain is this: There’s the sports section, as sports fans write the sports. There’s the news section, as people who care about news write the news. As a department and professionals-to-be, you shouldn’t be polarizing the lone voice for you. Whether you intended to or not, you did just that. Nobody’s going to want to write about theatre if the theatre people put down their work.

There was a link to a blog, and the author has written for The Whit. This makes me ask two things. (1) Do you consider a blog journalism? (2) If so, why not ask Jim to write the reviews?

All of this could have been avoided before the production. If you think your production is so important, then talk to the A&E editor well before the production. Tell the editor that this production is the biggest of a generation. Give that editor some insight to pass down to the writer. That way the A&E editor can get you the special treatment you feel like you deserve.

Perhaps next year, Kevin Melendez and whatever one-named people there are here can give The Whit a heads up next time if you think it’s that special. This isn’t just one-way street: reviews in A&E need improvement in The Whit and the performing arts department needs to expand its boundaries beyond a specific target market if they want their work to be recognized to their desire.

As Armando Galarraga said earlier this month: “Nobody’s perfect. Everybody human.” We all could improve our work, journalists and performing artists alike. Hopefully if this problem arises again, this comment will be read and we won’t see sour grapes again.

Comment on New medical school has a hopeful future for Camden health care by Julia

Julia — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:38:18 +0000

Not only does UMDNJ consist of three medical schools, but one of those schools (the School of Osteopathic Medicine) is in South Jersey – very close to Camden. Also, while there are 132 allopathic (M.D.) medical schools in the United States, there are also 26 osteopathic (D.O.) schools. These are also “medical schools,” as D.O.s are fully-licensed physicians who practice medicine in every field imaginable.
