Core Curriculum Introduced With Freshman Class

by Kathy Stevens and Karen Jablonski Inaugurated with the freshman class this year, the General Education Core is an innovative curriculum. According to Dr. Beverly Miller, Academic Dean, the core is a broad approach to the liberal arts as a relevant method of problem solving.

Core Planned The concept was brought under consideration two years ago when the idea of curriculum change was discussed. At this time the school was looking for a more relevant approach to the liberal arts which would utilize the talents and the abilities of the faculty. Salve's core curriculum is unique among college curriculums in this country. After a series of faculty meetings, it was decided to implement the core curriculum with the Class of '77.

Theme of Change Within the core lie three tracks centered around the theme of change, taught by a total of 25 faculty members.

Track one, Energy : Its M anifestati ons and T ransformations) coordinated by Dr. Morris, approaches change through the disciplines of science, ma'th and sociology. 0 on c l us ions) Inner Space) Religious Experience and · Expression is coordinated by Dr.

Fathers Have Own Weekend

by Anne Quigley "Your father is like a little boy with a new toy, he is so excited abou't spending the weekend with you," said one mother to her daughter about the upcoming Father-Daughter Weekend. Marking its thirteenth consecutive year, the weekend's activites take place on October 2728.

The enjoyment begins at 9:15 Saturday morning with registration and a coffee hour in Ochre Court. The rest of the morning is devoted to attendance of "mini classes" by the fathers and daughters. Then follows a business meeting and a buffet lunch at Miley Hall at noon.

The afternoon consists of a tour of Ochre Court and a Glee Club concert.

In the evening there is a cocktail hour and dinner at The Coachmen in Tiverton, followed by dancing in the Great Hall of Ochre Court.

The weekend concludes with a Mass and brunch on Sunday.

Michael Werle. This second track incorporates the disciplines of psychology, physiology, creative arts and theology. Sr. Mary Jean Tobin coordinates track three, Other vo;.ces - Patterns and Profi les) which involves such disciplines as history, literature and sociology.

The evaluation will combine the three tracks for credit. Final grades will be given on the basis of credit or no credit at the end of each semester.

Your best weekend yet could be Salve's Fall Weekend, October 12-13, which presents to S.R.C. students and the general public the dual opportunity of catching a party both Friday and Saturday nights.

Student Views The general reaction of the freshmen is favorable toward the core, but some are apprehensive of its experimental nature.

Any freshmen wishing to voice opinions or suggestions are encouraged to speak with the coordinators or with Dean Miller.

Friday, October 12, could find you at Sully's, surrounded by the sensational "greaser" sounds of "The Flashbacks," new to the Rhode Island circuit from Connecticut. From 9-1, with an admission fee of $1.50 per person, slide into the 't imes by slicking down and showing up as greas-

Continuing the fun will be a boatride Saturday night. The boat, with a live band, leaves the Bristol Dock at 8:30 p.m. and returns at midnight. Tickets are $3 per person with as much beer as you can drink. For anyone needlhg transportation, a shuttle bus will run between Salve and the Bristol Dock at 7:15 p.m. at $1 per person.

Contact Mary Ann Dydo, social committee chairman, for answers to any ques'tions.

by Lynn Burke Miss Paula O'Malley, a 1973 graduate of Salve Regina College, was recently named assistant to the director of the theatre arts department on campus.

Theatre arts is directed by Miss Joan David, under whom Miss O'Malley fills the capacity of production managing and technical designing.

Miss O'Malley's first encounter with the theatre arts department came last yeat- when she was asked by Miss David to substitute for a part in Ionesco's The Bald Soprano. Having only three days in which to learn her lines, Miss O'Malley managed to portray her role successfully in meeting the deadline of production. Until this time, Miss O'Malley never considered a possible career affiliated with the theatre, as she was pursuing a B.A. in psychology.

Miss O'Malley worked in summer stock this past summer at the Newport Casino. There she came into contact with three major theatre groups, and was closely associated with The Lyric Company and Mademoi selle Modiste. Her job dealt primarily with technical designing and chorus work.

Among many interests, Miss O'Malley enjoys three-dimensional chess and water skiing. When asked about future plans, she replied, "I would like to pursue a graduate degree in theatre but I am not sure as to whether or not I would like to make teaching theatre a permanent career."

Realized Promises When Dr. Frank Maguire, chairman of the CLC committee, was asked about his new responsibilities, he said, "The committee is very grateful to everyone who helped us to move into our new home. We are not going to promise the world and deliver a handful of soil! We want to make things happen, and with a quality and a consistency that will serve the needs of the college and the greater community."

A Community Experience When questioned about the committee's plans to achieve its objectives, Dr. Maguire continued: "Consider the baptism on Sunday, September 30th. The fact 'that it was our son is incidental. It could have happened with anyone's son or daughter.

To me that was vibrant religious experience. It had a way of gathering up in a liturgical format the joy and the happiness an entire community experiences in the presence of new human life in a Christian setting. I think it was an ideal way to begin to achieve our objectives."

Future Happenings The committee's plans for the rest of the first semester are as follows : a series of weekly events in the m o n t h of October devoted to respect for life · in the unborn, the exceptional child, the imprisoned f!nd 'the aging; in November, a liturgical event in memory of Mr. Richard McGinn and a social action event by the college in collecting and distributing Thanksgiving baskets; in December, an interdisciplinary event tentatively planned around the areas of religious studies and creative arts.

For the second semester, the committee is planning to devote the month of Feburary to the concerns of young men and women. The remainder of the semester is open and the committee invites suggestions.

At Maher Center

Special Education-Involvement: l(ey Word

by Marladonna McCarthy There are over 10 million handicapped people in the United States. Some suffer from physical defects, others from mental inadequacies. All of them, how:. ever, need help. They must learn to cope with an environment which seems strange and often hostile. To accomplish this, they must have a basic educational foundation .

While playing outside the James L Maher Center, Teddy stops to greet his visitors a.nd decides to flash the camera a big smile.

Salve Students Involved The James L. Maher Center in Newport affords the handicapped a multi-faceted education. The Center operates in close conjunction with Salve Regina. For years Salve students, under 'the guidance of Sister Kathryn Murphy, educational director of the Center, have worked in various Center programs on a volunteer basis. Five Salve graduates presently teach at the Center. The innumerable hours which Salve girls have con'trib-

uted to the Center make it what it is today - one of the finest special education programs in the state. In turn, several of the Center's staff take advantage of Salve's diversified special education curriculum. Ken Sergent, director of the Regional Center, is also a part-time teacher at Salve.

Atmosphem: Conducive to Learning The Center's programs range from pre-school to a sheltered workshop. One of 'the first things a visitor to the Center notices is its friendly atmosphere. Every person enrolled in the programs, regardless of the degree of their handicap, is treated as a unique individual. Teachers work to make children feel they are important members of society.

Classrooms are adorned with colorful, imaginative decorations, the majority of which are the work of the children.

Exceptional Programs The Center also conducts several other exceptional programs.

One program is held in an apartment belonging to 'the Center and completely furnished by donation. Here young men and women are taught basic skills such as housekeeping, budgeting and menu planning. Thus, they are provided with a situation which helps them adjust to the actualities of everyday life.

The Center's work can be expressed as such: "And then a strange thing happened. For where the tear had fallen, a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden. It had slender green leaves, 'the colour of emeralds, and in the center of the leaves, a blossom like a golden cup. It was so beautiful that the Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it." (Margery Williams' The Velveteen Rabbit.)

Inside the Center, Teddy J8 quite the angelic little gentleman as he stands engagingly befm<e his friends. Given such a 'look, who could resist involvement?

Rich Gifts._ When Givers Prove Kind Every now and then there arise times when it is an absolute necessity for the simple and expedient preservation of sanity to "get away from it a ll." E very life reaches those pestiferous plateaus when it seems a certainty that the giving of another moment's worth of effort will "send one to his account" sooner than anticipated. At such times, the state of my mental outlook on life is caustically captured in the incisive interroga tion, " Why bother?"

So one day I didn't, but permitted m yself the luxury of momentarily forgetting about headline counts and iambic pentameters an::! historical geographic parameters. Inst~ad, I contentedly curled up with some twelve hundred pages of English literature, and was peacefully perusing the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins when a slip of paper fell from the p ages. .Now every book I own conceals such scraps, as I will habitually scribble down striking quotations or reminders to myself, and then proceed to stuff them into the most conveniently situated book when their accumulated bulk begins to get in my way. Such scraps are the only hand-written testimony to my existence, and I have visions of one day being swept from Cliff Walk, whereupon the only extant writing from my "memoirs" will scrawlingly read, "Terri - save two qua rters for wash this week."

But this scrap was one of the more aesthetic ones, and bore the words, "And so the boy climbed the tree and carried away its apples. And the tree was happy." I recognized it as a fragment of Shel Silverstein's Th e Giving Tree. I had discovered this book earlier while canvassing the children's section of a bookstore. I recalled that . . . . . . Once upon a time, a little boy saw a tree and began to climb in its branches. This made the tree very happy, and it inyited the little boy to return as often as he liked. Which the little ' boy did.

Eventually, the little boy stopped coming to the tree, for he was now bigger and had other things to do. One day a man came to inspect the tree for a house he was building. The tree recognized its friend and offered all his wood for the house. And so the man stripped the strong branches from the tree and hacked away the strong trunk, leaving only a stump of wood.

But the tree was happy to have given.

Years p assed, and one day a very old man sat to rest on the stump. The " tree" recognized its friend, and greeted him joyfully.

The old m an, seeing what little remained of the once strong tree, became saddened at wha t he had done to such a good friend. He was very sorry.

But the tree needed no apology. It felt joy from giving joyfully and freely of itself. The tree was very happy indeed ...

I replaced the slip of paper in the book. And somehow, the idea of making an effort, of giving, no longer seemed a burden.

Somehow, I wasn't asking, "Why bother?" Somehow, I knew why.

Dean Examines College Calendar

by Dr. Beverly Miller Academic Dean

Probably the first question you asked as an . incoming freshman was, "When do I check in?" And after two weeks of classes you probably began asking, "When do we get out for holidays?"

Both of these relate to the college calendar, which is much more than a time schedule; it is an academic component of the curriculum.

The traditional semester is based on a period of time approximately equivalent to sixteen weeks.. The fall semester begins in September and el)ds with January. The spring semester begins after a long weekend and ends around June 1.

The quarter system is a variation of this originally chosen

by Land Grant Colleges as a way of adapting to the agricultural cycJe. It p r o vi d e s for three eleven-week quarters during the normal academic year.

Each of these systems is based on the Carnegie Unit of academic equivalency. This is defined as one hour of classroom instruction per week for sixteen weeks.

The difficulty with both of these, aside from the rigidity, is that they equate learning with time spent in the classroom.

Next month we'll look at the first real departure from these in the field of higher education, a system with flexibility and a broader definition of learning, the 4-1-4 plan.

Lost-and F'o und H·o rizon

by Terri Kubitschek aided and abetted by Regina Tracy

"Whan in 'August' with his shoures soote" (especially in Newport) and visions of William Randolph Hearst dancing in my head, I decided Eb~ Tide merited attention, and thus trekked to Newport. At 3 a.m. "chez" Regina, having exhausted our supply of trivia such as "What is Krypton?" and our supply of Irish coffee, we turned our thoughts paperward. The first issue we concocte4 seemed •a masterpiece of journalistic scholarship. A cursory assessment, however, convinced us that it was as readable as the Rosetta Stone and as interesting as an autobiography of Millard Fillmore.

A few dawns later found my Hearstian visions fading, Ebb Tide still waxing incoherent, and our enfeebled minds still wondering, "What Is Krypton?" Our ca:Imer moments ran like this: "Regina, I'm worried!"

"Don't. We'll get it done."

"But what if it's an utter, abject failure?"

"We'll go to Boston and jump off the swan boats."

Regina, who operates on the theory that it doesn't matter where you work as long as you work, grabbed her typewriter and headed back 't o the Black Pearl. Thus, my cohort left me to single-handedly subdue any frenetic fits of hysteria andjor

depression which were chipping at by Hearstian empire. ~ Three days later saw me outwardly juggling forms in the registration lines at Salve and inwardly juggling ideas for Ebb Tide. My discovery that the regular "Ebb Tiders" were still (masochistic as it may seem) willing to undergo another year of "journalese" left me rubberykneed with relief. Thus, all five of us (six, with Regill.ll at the Pearl) plunged intrepidly into our task. We had nine days t o produce an issue, a feal that would have awed even Samson before his haircut. .Otir only consolation was that God managed the world in seven days - we had a two day bonus. · My desperate pep talks in the next week lacked any semblance of logic : "Why, writing eight

But we did it - after four trips to Providence, 227 calls to the printer , 106 migraines, 94 skipped meals and many sleepless nights. And yes, Regina's back from the Pearl.

My Temporary Mental Aberration Leads to a Backless Reception

by Regina Tracy This article is primarily concerned with filling a blank page, and from it, one may learn much about the literary integrity of the author. Of harpsichords and viola da gambas, one will learn virtually nothing, since anyone who possesses a modicum of his marbles will admit that such things could only exist in the minds of children (of the sort whose childhoods are spent in wicker baskets, and who grow up to be burglars, kidnappers, or T.V. repairmen). But the Brink-Pinkham concert 1 as t month proves that this constitutes a sizable group.

interests lie in education and psychology.

Mary Garvey, '77, a nursing major, f{l.voring the biology especially, can usually be found swimming, water-skiing, or at certain picnics.

(which due to a temporary mental aberration I agreed to corun), and the Boston Philharmonia. The news that the Boston people would take care of everything was the best I'd heard since Secretariat won the 'I_'riple Crown. They would even purchase the champagne for the ensuing reception - more luck since I dislike the thought of mandatory transfer to a state or federally supported institution of a non-academic nature. All I worried about was - could I coerce some hapless individual into buying me champagne??

The music was really excellent, but the fun came during the reception. One woman had one of the most original opening lines I've ever heard: "I had to tell you how much I like your back," (my gown was backless).

"My whatf, ,, "I'm a back expert and I like yours. Do you know what problem I have?"

This was not a matter in which I exactly thirsted for enlightenment, but I found out anyway. Apparently her dress was extensively 't rimmed with turkey feathers (the resultant effect best 'left to the imagination) which her cats would attack. Eventually she drifted off - presumably to inspect other backs.

Someone then asked, "Are you a harpsichordist?" ("A whatr H" - that was my line for the evening) because "you look like one." It was "different" and probably the only reception I've seen that required a deus ex machina.

Glee Club Makes Tentative Plans For

Fall Sports Splash: A Wave of B-Ball Track and Gridiron W~shes Campus

by Meg Bowler

"They're great," "looks like I'll be a bench warmer this year," and "I'm so excited, look at those people!" were just some of the expressions passed among last year's members.

The scene was basketball tryouts. Salve's "hoopsters" were anxiously awaiting the turnout of those interested in being on the b a s k e t b a 11 team. With fingers crossed and sneakers donned, the "old team" arrived to see about twenty girls jumping, dribbling and shooting. They are all good! The "hoopsters" will definitely be on top this year!!

there building up 't heir endurance!!

Touch football will be underway if it isn't already. If we can get some good enough teams together, we might just make it to the Rose Bowl!

As Sept~mber swiftly came to an abrupt end, athletics on the campus have been a touch and go affair. Students showed a

spirit of apathy, the result being a plea on behalf of Dr. DiPippo and Mr. Cunningham at a recent Student Congress meeting to spark interest among the student body. Backing was promised by the faculty and administration in all sports - if only they had somebody to back!

Remember, get involved - it's the name of the game!

All Washed Up

The basketball team now has all the p o t e n t i a 1 of being champs; to be a champ, however, you must look like one! A car wash was held the weekend of September 22-23, to raise the money to buy new uniforms.

Spraying, washing and wiping was the agenda for two days.

The wash left the group with puckered hands, peeling skin, wet clothes and a little bit closer to those shiny new uniforms, that have for so long been an unreality.

Make sure you faculty and student body members buy your season tickets, only two dollars! !

Watch out, Mr. Hersh!!!

Name Your Game

Mr. John O'Neill, 't he new cross-country coach, has been seen guiding and running along with all those interested. You can spot them swiftly gliding by at 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on certain days.

I'm sure there is plenty more running space if anyone else has the urge. Hopefully, we will see some basketball members out

Recreational Center Established in Miley Hall Game Room FaciHties

is being looked into so that the recreation room can become 't he students' activity ' center.

For the time being the equipment is being rented and the room run on the basis of a concession. Prices range from ten cents a bowling game to 't wenty five cents for pool and the jukebox. Ping pong is free. Although it is desired that the equipment be purchased, it must be rented for now because the administration cannot afford to buy it. The only available money is tuition which cannot be used for recreation. It is hoped that the money needed can be found in the student activity fee. Since this money has been turned over 't o the students, the administration feels that, in time, the students will take it upon themselves to purchase all of the facilities presently being rented.

Pool tables, bumper pool, a ping pong table, pinball machines, a bowling game and a jukebox now inhabit the room which was formerly the college bookstore in Miley Hall. Under the direction of the administration, recreational facilities have been rented for the use of the entire college community.

The idea of a recreation room was formed over the summer during the College Community Committee on Coeducation meetings. Spurred by the comments of a group of girls who felt that there was not enough entertainment on campus, it was· decided to obtain a room whereJ>y the students could relax and enjoy themselves. Since the room in Miley was available, the game room was established there. Even now a bigger and better facility

May 4, the Silver Tea on May 19 and the Baccalaureate Mass on May 26.

These concerts are a great op. portunity to meet people. The practice is intense and a lit'tle rugged at times, but in return one receives a great deal of satisfaction. This year's Glee Club promises to bring good times to many.

The officers for the academic year 1973-74 are Kathy Rocchio, president; Paula Rousseau, vicepresident; Nancy DeVine, secretary; Arlene Sakovich, assistant secretary; Micki Duffy, treasurer; Mary Reed, librarian; and Lynn Lanoue, Ann Moran and Priscilla Hilman, public relations.

Anyone "interested in joining the Glee Club may still do so.

Auditions are still being held.
