Dinitz chaired five task forces in the cor-
rections field, including tho.se that focused
on prison riots where 11 hostages were held
in 1969 and 1993.
"My committee investigated, reported to
the government, and made recommenda-
tions," Dinitz said.
Dinitz has also done work in relation to
the issue of overcrowding in prisons as well
as the youth prison system for juveniles.
"We went through a series of recommen-
dations to the legislature, which were
implemented in the development of a new
penalty structure," Dinitz said. "It was a
massive undertaking."
Though Denitz is retired, he still teaches
a course every so often when invited
through personal contacts, and tends to
favor San Antonio.
"It's a good place to come and get away
from the winter in Columbus," Dinitz said.
"And my daughter lives here."
Besides teaching in his retired days,
Dinitz likes to travel frequently and volun-
teer for the department of corrections by
researching.
He recently completed a study on prison
misconduct and recidivism, which is the
likelihood of a criminal to repeat a crime
and be back to prison.
The study is expected to be published
within the next six months.
Dinitz is an asset to the university and
those that have him as a professor.
"St. Mary's is honored and privileged to
have Dr. Dinitz here," Abney said.

The faculty of St. Mary's University,
known for its doctorate-educated profes-
sors in a wide array of departments, boasts
a novelty this spring semester: Professor of
Criminology Simon Dinitz, Ph.D.
"He strikes me because he is down to
earth and humble," said Criminology
Department Chair Armando Abney, Ph.D.
"He has a good sense about him and he has
accomplished so much."
Dinitz permanently resides in Ohio, but
spends the spring in San Antonio with his
daughter and her family while teaching an
eight week semester course or two, usually
ending in March.
He mainly teaches introductory crimi-
nology courses at this university and delin-
quency courses at the University of Texas at
San Antonio.
"Dinitz is well known in the field and
has contributed greatly to it," said
Associate Professor of Criminal Justice and .
Criminology Pete Lopez, Ph.D. "I've come
across his work while studying as a student
and he is one of the well known corrections
experts. He is helpful with questions and is
just a very personable individual."
This sociology/criminology expert has
distinguished himself quite thoroughly
throughout his life with many accomplish-
ments to his name.
He has taught at a multitude of universi-
ties across the nation as well as overseas, he
has written 16 books, and is responsible for
at least 120 refereed articles.

No one can resist a tale about
deception, murder and jealousy.
St. Mary's is no exception, and
will soon be captivated by
William Shakespeare's "Othello,"
playing at Reinbolt Hall from
March 7 through 12.
The play "is about a Moor gen-
eral working’ in Venice, who has
just been promoted, instead of his
supposedly trusted friend, Iago,"
explains Thomas Reyna, who is
playing the part of Othello.
Othello has everything a man
could desire: a new rank, a beauti-
ful new wife Desdemona, and the
admiration and respect of those
around him.
This overlooking of Iago for a
higher rank, who has seniority
over Othello, is what starts this
wildfire of mind-poisoning.
Iago makes Othello believe
that his wife is having an affair
with Cassio, his own lieutenant.
Junior Rene Molina, says his
Iago character is the puppeteer
pulling everyone's strings..
"He manages to manipulate
everyone," Molina said.
Iago's profound loathing of
Othello drives him, and gives
him a significant amount of
amusement. He even uses
to participate in various activities
around the university, including
eating in the cafeteria, listening to
music and watching sports
games. Participants will attend
sessions presented by various
departments of the university.

Rosalind Aiderman at (210) 436-

derman@stmarytx.edu.
