K. C. Sullivan, O.P. To Address Group Marie Lazlo, '59, will head the campus Family Life group which is affiliated with N.F.F.C.S. The purpose of this group is to make Catholic college students more aware of the problems of married life and to aid them in solving these perennial d ifficulties.

On November 18, The Very Reverend Kenneth C. Sullivan, O.P., will address interested students on the topic: What Price Roman Catholicity in Relation to rhe Catholic Family? During the past few years, Father Sullivan has spoken at the annual Pre-Cana Conferences in Providence. Because of this and because of his parish work, Father Sullivan is exceptionally well-qualified in this field.

In December, five students will speak on the moral aspects of family problems. In their talks, they will attempt to clarify and explain points in which students have shown particular interest.

Any student who has an interest in Family Life is welcome and urged to become an active participant of this group. If at any time, there are certain problems or questions which you might have, present them to Miss Lazlo and she will have them incorporated into one of the talks.

Family Life will meet once a month.

The speakers will answer questions following the talks.

Pius XII

A Scholar, A Man

Pius XII-a man of versatile genius, a model for liberal education.

It is s~ id that in order to excel! in a particular field, one must specialize in that course alone. Our deceased Pontiff refuted that opinion; he was master of many sciences.

Some men command knowledge in a phase or rwo of the arts. Seldom does their learning deviate frcm their selected study. It is here that Pius XII surpasses most scholars.

He was well acquainted with the advances of modern medicine, as seen by his pronouncements con-

To Tuesday Morning Sister Mary Constance, R.S.M., announced recently that the time of required assemblies has been changed from Tuesday afternoons to 11:00 Tuesday mornings for the convenience of the student body and particularly the day students who have to travel a distance.

During October many interesting lecturers visited Salve Regina. Among them were Miss Anna Bird Stewart who gave a series of lectures to the student teachers, freshmen, sophomores, and Ebb Tide staff on October 7, 8. Her subjects included "Adventures in Literature", "Art of Research", Fanny Burney and the First Novel" and "Writing Techniques".

On October 14, John Carey, President of the Providence Curia, and Mrs. Patrick Byrne spoke to the student body on the Legion of Mary. They explained its origin, organization, and potentialities to the student. They hope that in the future the Legion will become a part of the college.

management has been acclaimed to be vhe most efficiently organized in our times. This efficiency spread to social affairs, for he urged women to leave her home when possible and to manage the affairs of the community, a basic social order.

Our late Pope was a philosopher, a sociologist, an educator, and a theologian. He was a diplomat whose wise counsel was sought by leaders of great nations.

The influence of Our Holy Father penetrated the world, for his knowledge touched the lives and professions of every man. Pius XII was a specialist in all fields.

qhank .. S. R. C. Increases Faculty With 11 New Members

From Him, we received life ... from you, the nourishment of that life ... you guided us through a devastating war . .. to the affiicted in war-torn lands, you brought relief ... all men of all creeds brought you their problems, particularly in those times ... for all men, you helped to win peace-it was not the peace you had dreamed of, that all men might live as brothers ... but for your children, you affected the closest similarity to that ideal peace.

To those living behind the Iron Curtain, you brought hope ... you instilled in them a deeper ,faith in the brotherhood of man, in the Communion of Saints .. . .for them, you urged world prayer and relief drives ... out of love and gratefulness the free world responded.

To our world, you gave a Summa of Peace and the answer to modern war and warfare ... to the women of today, you entrusted the fate of the family and of human relations ... "They are in your hands ..." To the student, you left a legacy of information in your Encyclicals . . . to the Church, you imparted a deeper love of Mary and her true role ... you made all men more aware of their significant position in the Church, particularly in the Lay Apostolate.

We mourn you ... we give you our sincerest thanks for everything, "Pope of Peace".

Astronomers, atomic physicists, geologists, cosmologists found a ready friend in our Supreme Pontiff.

It is under his guidance that the barriers between science and religion have been greatly relaxed.

No other administration of business and funds were. handled as excellently as our Catholic Church under the direction of Pius XII; its

Ebb Tide Polls Freshman Class In September, 1947, the faculty of Salve Regina opened the doors of Robert Goelet's Ochre Court for sixty-one students. In eleven years Salve Regina College has acquired six buildings in addition .to Ochre Court; the enrollment has increased to three hundred and fifteen students.

Report ...

Scholarships from Salve Regina College made it possible for two students to extend their study in French in countries outside the United States this summer. Tullia Tudino, a sophomore, was awarded a trip to France .~hrough the Alliance Francaise, the French Club of the college, in a competitive examination last spring. Pauline Beaulieu, Class of 1960, was also the recipient of a scholarship, for Laval University in Canada.

"Our trips were very beneficial," both girls agreed, "in that they acquainted us more with French and Canadian customs and conversation." Their classes were usually held in the mornings, and included grammar, dictation, and conversation. But all was not study for our roving students.

Tullia spent two memorable months touring different countries in Europe. She will never forget the hospitality afforded .to her by the French people. She was able to visit Barcelona and Lourdes, to view historical monuments, and to windowshop in Paris, "City of Fashion."

For five weeks she lived in Paris.

Although Pauline remained on this side of the ocean, she also has many pleasant and lasting memories of a summer-gone-by. She recalls many tours .through Canadian cities with their quaint shops. Various boat trips were sponsored by the University on Saturdays which Pauline enjoyed very much. The most impressive of these trips for her was the time she visited Levy, a very quaint rown on the other side of the Saint Laurence River. On weekends, besides tOuring, her entertainment consisted in celebrations and dancing. Pauline remained in Canada for six weeks, living with a French family.

Fabrics-Modern Fashion-wise, this is the season for new lines, easy and flowing. It is the season for being femininein gowns of silk chiffon, gleami ng slipper satins, and rich moin~s. It is the season for fur-on suits, on sweaters, on gowns. But especially, this is a season of color.

Butternut squash, oyster pearl white, shocking pink-exciting names for exciting colors.

Purple-all shades of it, has come into its own again after years of disuse. Once a color worn by matrons, it is now being worn by college and career girls in styles never patronized by the former wearers.

Spicy brown, chestnut, rose beige -all are being worn with splashes of orange and green.

Black has somehow taken on a vibrant tone, perhaps because it is being shown so often in velvet.

Materials add a great deal to fashion this year.

Mohair and satin have been combined in ways never thought of before. Used alone mohair creates an air of casualness difficult to achieve any other way. Combined with satin or the other elegant materials favored this season, it achieves an air of sophistication that only the extremely fashion conscious can live up to.

Moire has "arrived" again in fashionable circles. Lost to the fashion world because of many poor imitations, it is back in all the richness of heavy materials. A romantic fabric, it creates an illusion of storybook royalty.

Velvet, too, is being shown this season in all its glory-in cocktail dresses, gowns, and evening suits.

Designers are using fur extravagantly! Fox beaver, mink-are featured on hemlines, necklines, and everywhere between these two points. Beaver collars, dyed to match very exquisite fall suits form a beautiful frame for the face. For the person who wants something a little bit more fashionable on the hemline of her cocktail gown, ostriches are again losing their tail feathers for the sake of fashion.

To be strictly fashionable, you must have a flair for wearing hats.

In every vibrant color of the rainbow, in materials rich and glowing, in styles new and exciting, hats are in for the season. Turbans of satin or mohair; berets of jersey and velvet-especially the newer, larger berets; cloches; sailors; all are designed in every color and fabric to match your new fall wardrobe.

"Regina Players" Plan Three-Act Production From all appearances the members of the "Regina Players" may look forward to a most enjoyable and profitable year. Plans made at the first meeting include participation in radio programs and the staging of a three-act play this December, as well as several oneacters in the spring, one of which will be completely student produced.

The club plans to attend some Boston plays and also hopes to take in the productions of the "Sock and Buskin" of Brown University and the "Pyramid Players" of Providence College.

Members attended a Dramatics Workshop at Brown University at which Joshua Logan was the principal speaker.

W. R. A. Sponsors Tournament The W omen's Recreation Association held its first meeting of the year on October 3, at Mercy H all with Donna Hurd presiding. The agenda included the election of new officers and the discussion of an athletic program for ~he year, Pat Lyons is secretary ; Marcia Fenn, vice president; and W anda Tereska, treasurer. Sister Mary Philemon and Miss Amado are moderators.

The association is extremely enthusiastic about the year's program.

Volley ball tournaments which are in season have been accepted with great eagerness. N ot without keen competition, the Freshmen were victorious over the cocky Juniors only to be defeated by the snappy Sophomores. The volley ball series will continue vhroughout the fall.

Badminton tournaments, bowling, tennis, basketball, swimming, roller skating, ice skating, and a ski weekend are among the activities planned for the school year.

110 Freshmen Receive Symbol Of Academic Life "Lend your spirit to your voices and resound with echoes true, we now pledge our love and loyalty to you."

This was the actual spirit which prevailed over the serene atmosphere in the Great H all, October 3, 1958, as the anxious freshmen, guided by their junior sisters, pronounced their pledge following the investiture in there academic cap and gown.

Only through their endless efforts guided by "Salve Regina" will they be able to fulfill their promise and live up to the expectations of all who trust and believe in them.

Sue Hale Heads Commuters' Club Several Students ~he Commuters' Club under the able direction of a Sophomore, Sue Hale, is being reorganized on campus. There were committee meetings during the summer and early in the school year to plan the activities of the club. The main purpose of such an organization is to foster a feeling of ·belonging to the college. Often, day students get the impression that there is a distinct separation between the residents and themselves.

During the month of October tthe Rosary is being said daily by members of the Commuters' Club. A pet project of the day-hops is attendance at a Red Cross sponsored dance. This dance is held monthly at the Red Cross recreation center on the Newport Naval Hospital grounds. It affords an excellent opportunity for the girls to help bolster the morale of the young N avy men who have been hospitalized.

A general meeting of Commuters' Club members will be held in N ovember; at this time Freshmen commuters will be welcomed into the club, and a schedule of events will be decided upon for the coming months.

Interest in and support of the Commuters' Club are the main factors for its success.

Pinata Highlights Span ish Festivities With the beginning of the college year, each girl at Salve Regina has an opportunity to participate in a number of clubs.

One club which is of major interest to the foreign language student is the Spanish club. Under the capable direction of Sister Mary John Francis, R.S.M., the club is able to offer a varied program of lectures, a Christmas party or pinata party, and tthe popular Spanish dinner.

During the summer, the college had the opportunity to have as a visitor Senora Ubieta, a South American, who is now a teacher in New York.
