Mrs. Storez Voices C. E.
Mrs. Carol Storez, Director of Extension Services, pauses briefly amidst the flurry of ber. da.lly activities.
by Susanne Neely Moving swiftly across Salve's campus is the figure of Mrs. Carol 路 Storez, Director of Extension Services, who graduated with an A.B. in Political Science from the University of Chicago and came to Salve's Division of Community Education in August of 1972. Mrs. Storez is herself typical of the diversity and expansion characterizing the people and efforts of the division. Community Education (C.E.) strives to offer 'the facilities of the college to the non-traditional s t u d e n t , accomplishfu.g- this through various outlets. Mrs. Storez first outlined the speci-

People have pictures of Santa Claus - I treasure companion mezzotints of Ebeneezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley. My idea of Christmas shopping is to breeze 't hrough Lord and Taylor's or Tiffany's, deftly wielding a credit card with a liveried chauffeur in tow carrying exquisitely wrapped packages. However, liveried chauffeurs are short in supply (to be fair, my friend, Rick, did offer to dress in his tuxedo, but we both 't hought he would look ~omewhat absurd prowling about in Woolworth's). My shopping forays are such things as nightmares and analysts' incomes are made of. When I cannot put it off any longer (like about 11:45 on December 24) I venture into the business districts. First, I I think I pick the 路wrong stores. They are rather unprepossessing, and the sidewalks leading to them are covered with varied and unappealing items like foaming cauldrons, skeletons of Dodo birds, and battered rabbits' watches inscribed "With love from the whole Wonderland crowd."
fie needs of the part-time student pursuing a bachelor or associate degree. Two areas operating in conjunction under the degree programs are, first, a large number of educational opportunities orgartized specifically for veterans, co-ordinated by Karl Nykaza, and secondly the Law - Enforcement Division, coordinated by Sister Ann Nelson. Law-Enforcement enrollees comprise the majority of students within C.E. Common areas of minor concentration by this group are history, politics, sociology, and psychology. Fulfilling the special needs of unclassified s t u d e n t s desiring
certain courses, she continued, is also the concern of C.E. Already possessing a bachelors degree or not pursuing one, such students are generally motivated by personal or professional benefit. These courses, often held in seminar form serve such fields as nursing interests as in fulfilling possible voluntary nursing requirements; psychological interests as found in the lectures of Dr. Darby on dealing with the dying; and educational interests as found in the inservice training for 'teachers. Successfully born this fall was the mini-semester, which has brought much a t t e n t i o n to
Salve's non-credit offerings of reasonable cost. Registration for these courses is open 'to all ages, whether a high schooler or senior citizen (who may participate at half-price). Over 60 people participated in the unique opportunity for personal enrichment offered by the first minisemester. Expanding into the community itself is the fourth field, that of community associated develoPment in which she works with Sister V i r g i n i a W a 1 s h, Coordinator of Community Services. Here the college-community liason directly benefits the community.

Co-ordinator of Community Services by Katby Stevens There is a new person on campus, Sister Virginia Walsh R.S.M., who is the co-ordinator for community services for Salve Regina College. Sister Virginia Walsh came to Salve Regina College this September and joined the Continuing Education Office. The purpose of her job, according to Sister Virginia, is to provide "a liason between the college community and the general community." The job of co-ordinator for c;ommunity services emphasizes meeting, talking with people in the community, assessing the needs of the community and then bringing an awareness of these
things to the college community. Sister Virginia is working wth the facutly, students, and administration to help meet 't hese needs. The response of the faculty and the students so far has been receptive. The faculty and students, Sister Virginia says; "recognize the need" to get involved with the community. The success of these progrrups depends on the efforts of the faculty and students. Students should reflect and consider If they could donate a small part of their time working in and with the community. Sister Virginia says, "No matter where one's talents lie, there is something for everyone to do." Types of .services that. the. _col-
lege might lend to the community are volunteer services, workihops, in-service programs, panel discussions and research work. The first event arranged by Sister Virginia for the elderly in the community was the Senior Citizen's Night performance of Tbe Prime of Miss Jean Brodie at Salve's Creative Arts Center. Sister Virginia at the moment is trying to meet the fac;:ulty and students. She is working on a tutoring p r o g r a m for disadvantaged children at the Martin Luther King Center and the Catholic Information Service in Newport with the aid of faculty and students. At the present time a Meals On Wheels program is being arranged路 for the elderly in the community.
These programs, ac-cording to Sister Virginia, should "assist and improve the situation in the lives of others and help people achieve their human dignity in life." Before coming to Salve Regina College, Sister Virginia had a great deal of experience working with the people in a community. _she was a principal at a large inner city grammar school in Providence. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday Sister Virginia works out of her office in the Continuing Education Office on the second floor of Ochre Court. She also works at different schools setting up special programs for math instruction on Tuesday and Friday.
In this quickly paced life, how fortunate a person is 'to possess the soul of the Christmas season. For true Christmas spirit provides a refreshing opportunity for reorientation of thought. It provides a time to drift backward, to revel in the memories of softly colored lights, the fragrance of evergreen, and a warmth that has pierced human hearts for 2000 years. Memories are the "stuff" that Christmas is made of. Best wishes for a memoryfilled and memorable holiday! Terri Kubitschek

Impressions Enthusiasts Should Love by Regina Tracy I detest interim - not the conJanuary. I cept, but time withdraw in "dead-of-winter" (i.e., anything under 75 °) . My first impulse on New Year's Day (after forswearing champagne for the r est of my life - or the next twenty-four hours - whichever comes first is to retire to bed with sunlamp, Scotch, blankets, harpsichord records and enough books to last the month. Unfortunately, no college whose administrative IQ has a fighting chance at three digits will deem that predilection worthy of four credits, or indeed, of anything else. Neither, also unfortunately, will my mother. I have come to realize that Robert Redford (aren't you sick of hearing about Robert Redford, people? ? ? ) is not going to appear saying he's forsaking wife, children, and career to take me to Acapulco. (However - hope on, hope ever.) The problem is apparent to the least discerning amongst us - What to do during interim? 1) Learn to play recorder, which is relatively inexpensive and perceptibly easier to carry than a cello. Animal enthusiasts should love it, for the female of the species attracts every canine for miles. 2) Become a pool shark. This is highly remunerative - no one will ever say, "I bet I can translate Chaucer faster than you can." 3) Get subpoenaed by the House on Un-American Activities guaranteed to break up the monotony. Anyway, don't do anything I wouldn't . . . and if you do, try Justin (272-9063) for bail-bondsman.
why they have "suffered the slings and arrows" of this · way of life, take a good look at just what you may have accomplished, what you can do with what you've got and what you may be able to do with what you are about to get. The "WANTADS" that are listed above are not imaginary, they are real! ! ! Moreover they have been filled by people just like you a few short years ago, people who graduated, not from the large
multiversities, not from the Ivy Leagues, but from our own Salve Regina. Perhaps you don't feel you could fill these positions, as I'm sure, the people before you felt. However, the data is there and the facts hold. They did it . . . you can do it. If I may steal the words of Winston Churchill, "All we can offer you is blood, sweat and tears but in the end . . . SUCCESS!! And that makes all the difference.
Psychologist Voices Views Confidentialities Discussed tiality can you assure the students regarding their records? A. All records are the property of myself and the Newport County Mental Association. Students' records are not available to the administration nor are they housed on the campus.· Records are available to the students at the discretion of the therapist, although students may authorize people to see their records, contingent upon the discretion of the therapist. Other circumstances in which records are available include: to a professional at the center on a need to know basis (i.e., if I cannot be reached at a particular moment when a student calls in with a crisis situation, another professional at the center will consult her records); to other professionals when I wish to get a different perspective on a certain case; and availability with a court subpoena. The criterion are for the protection of both the student and the psychologist. Q. A student is dealing with a critical problem. She wants to talk to someone but the term psychologist and its implications frighten her. How do you find this student? A. Students come on a referral basis. There are three means of referral. 1) self referral 2) peer referral and 3) administrative referral. All treatment is completely voluntary.
Mr. Allen Schor, recently hired as consultant psychologist for the college community. by Marladonna McCarthy An interview was conducted with Mr. Allen Schor, recently hired as a consultant psychologist for the college community. Mr. Schor is currently completing his doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology. He can be reached in his office in Angelus Hall via extension 49 every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Q. What is your role as a school psychologist? A. A school psychologist provides immediate, direct services to students in crisis situations, helping them develop their own support networks for dealing with common problems. The psychologist consults also with administration and faculty regarding their interaction with their students. Q. What degree of confiden::::::D::

President's Message
Spread Joyful News Dear Students: To all of you I extend greetings for Advent, for Christmas, for the realization of the message of these seasons - BRING MY LOVE TO MEN. The message is simple, yet complex; positive, beset by the negative. It is a message which involves us insofar as we relate to and serve our fellow men. It speaks of making peace at a time when we know our roles as peacemakers can only be fulfilled in causing justice to reign, It is only in the observance of 'the cause of justice that we can talk of bringing God's love to men, of peace. In an age which is par-

A Christian Arab Guide takes me to the Sacred Holy Shrines (fuZZ of cold stone and business) "This is the place where J eSUB walked. This is the place where children beg, and clergy with outstretched hands tell of this man - Christ." Oh, Jerusalem, how confronting, ironical and yet comfortable you are. I have never felt so at hOme and yet so out of place at the same time. I ponder on the steep rolling hills of Judea, "What secrets do you keep by your silence'!" I gaze upon Nazareth, hidden by a hilltop, close my eyes and let the wind summon up the past but to no avail. Th~ words of the guide, "This is the spot where," echo in my mind and I laugh.

to the Editor After having 'traveled the University of Delaware, University of Pennsylvania, (husband Dick's ivy, not mine) and Boston University ink c i r c u i t s amidst yawns, I find myself persuing Salve Regina's Ebb Tide with much interest and enthusiasm. Editor Kubitschek's beautifully written Editorial (Vol. XXV, No. 1) on Women and -Education gives a woman reader pause to feel the poignancy, to reflect upon the enquiry and to reaffirm one's personal commitment 'to all human beings. Editor Tracy's delightful JABBERWOCKY an d scintillant THE WRONG SIDE OF PARADISE were marvelous! (I could go on and on, loved REFLECTIONS ON THE JOHN BROWN HOUSE and MY TEMPORARY MENTAL ABERRATION LEADS TO A BACKLESS RECEPTION.) I've concluded that Miss Tracy has far more charisma and class than the myopic casting director for Gatsby. Her 'humor therapy' might empty Payne Whitney prestissimo! Kudos to you both and your staff for the fine newspaper! Very sincerely yours, Mary-Charles Santopietro Asst. Professor Department of Nursing (Psychiatrir. Mental Health Nursing) Dear Editor: You and your staff are to be commended for the interesting, timely, and well written November issue of Ebb Tide. You captured the campus scene very well in news story, editorial, and feature articles. I was particularly pleased with the poetry corner shared by Nancy Walsh and Mariadonna McCarthy. Cora Collins' illustration for Nancy's poem deserves special mention. The entire issue shows your own dedication to your duties as editor, as well as 't he cooperation of all your co-workers. The little galaxy of freshmen contributors is particularly heart-warming. You said in your editorial, "Good things are happening on the campus." May I add that not the least of these is Ebb Tide. Cardinally, Sister Mary Jean
ticularly yours, the word of God takes on meanings which are particularly yours, showing you new paths toward action for peace, paths which are particularly yours. In my contacts with you over coffee, over lunch, in casual conversations I have admired your r e f u s a 1 to fight yesterday's battles lest they deter you from exercising your power to lend 'to the establishment of harmony among you. To those of you who have refused to destroy yourselves from within yourselves, Peace is with you; to those of you who have refused to allow yourselves to be
d e s t r o y e d by 'the dissidences which beset you from others, Peace be with you; to those of you who have shared your own peace with the rest of us, may your goal be as broad as the human race - PEACE ON EARTH. May the advent of your opportunities to SPREAD THE JOYFUL NEWS bring to you and to all with whom you come in contact, the real meaning contained in the words, BRING MY DOVE TO MEN. Yours sincerely, Sister Lucille McKillop President
Self Knowledge Highlighted by Dr. Beverly Miller Academic Dean Traditionally, the average college student has selected an institution he wishes to attend, registered, and allowed the college to decide where he is going and how well he does a:t getting there. In an era when less than 10 percent of secondary school graduates went to college and for one of only two or three possible reasons, this was efficient, economical, and productive for the student and for society. Today there are almost as many reasons for attending college as there are students so engaged. The needs of most are highly individual, governed by varying degrees of motivation, ,ability, financial resources, and
personal obligations. Educators across the country readily admit that today's college student is more responsible, more goaloriented, more serious, and more sophisticated than the student of only a few years ago. His experiences have been broader, his mobility greater, and his need for self-direction more pronounced. The kind of flexible calendar and curriculum we have discussed and now implemented at Salve not only depends upon a student's definition of his own goals, but require it as well. They suggest that a student must know himself. He must assume responsibility for judsing his capabilities and setting his priorities. Is 't his not what real education for life is all about?
Jabberwocky by Regina Tracey Tempus is fugiting, and Christmas approaches. With dollar signs in guileless eyes, I'm perusing the windows of Saks. Due to the ominous dwindling of my bank account and scarcity of bicuspids for the tooth fairy, my friends will receive MacDonald's gift certificates (except Maria, who prefers Burger King). Letting imagination go "crackerdog", I'd like: the Goddard secretary from the R. I. Historical Society; aTR6; an American Constitutional Law course - team taught by Erlichmann and Haldemann;
Secretariat (fifteen years ago Dad promised me a pony); New Year's Resolutions: I promise: Not 'to ask Sister Marianne why we stand during the Hallelujah Chorus, to stop filching C h i n e s e export porcelain from the John Brown House, to get Ebb Tide articles in on time ( o.k. Terri??), not to talk 'to strange men unless they're Robert Redford. Personals: Santa - I haven't killed myself being good - Mae West said when you're bad, you're better-R. Have a very Merry Christmas don't forget January 7 Millard Fillmore's birthday!

Cross Country Team Triggers New Pace While Basketball Captures c ·o-ed Inter~st by Meg Bowler The cross country team, under Mr. O'Neill, competed on November 12 in the Region I AAU championship in Am he r s t at U-Mass. The three girls who ran the 3 mile course were Debbie Camarata, Tizzy Von Trapp, and F a i t h Zabrieski. They placed 50th, 51st, and 52nd respectively out of 70 starters. This was the last big meet of the season. Congratulations to those girls for running! Keep up the good pace. I asked Mr. O'Neill where the team was going from here. He hopes to see track meets or road races comprise next semester. So, we'll keep you posted! The men's basketball team is rolling. Up to now there is no real formal organization. They get together and practice with Dr. DiPippo making the game arrangements. There are definitely six members of the team as it stands. They're working on a full team so they can go intercollegiate and play scdmmages for the remainder of the year with such schools as Barrington College and Johnson & Wales. As soon as more members are obtj;ljned they will go into formalized practices and work out set plays. I am informed by a good source that there is a tentative date set for the guys. to play the faculty. From what I understand, and I quote ' my source, "the faculty will be demolished!" The g i r I s ' basketball team played the faculty and unfortunately were held to only 31 points. A special thanks to all the faculty who played and the cheering fans!! The girls play The Tavern, December 9, and Mt. St. Joe's on December 13.
Theatre Executes 'Prime' Production by Regina Tracy Salve's theatre division once again demonstrated that they are a talented and competent group with The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The play is set in a girl's school in the Edinburgh of the thirties. The central character is Miss Jean Brodie (Denise Foley McCarthy) a teacher, selfprofessed to be "in her prime". She gathers about her a coterie of pupils, whom she terms the "creme de la creme", and exerts a compelling influence over them. Brodie attempts to manipulate all those who come in contact with her. She views not only her girls, but also the men in her life as pawns in a chess game where she controls all gambits. In effect, Jean Brodie, afraid to depart from her world of absolutes to face reality, exists vicariously through the students. Only two people can see through her, Lloyd (Jim Anderson) and Sandy (Maria McCarthy). After the death of Mary MacGregor, one of the "elite", Sandy realizes the danger of Brodie and "assasinates" her by causing her removal from the school. Special praise is due Roberta Giamotti who executed the role of Mary MacGregor to perfection, and to Maria McCarthy and Denise McCarthy for the highly e f f e c t i v e portrayal of their characters.
Farewell, Flu
Lynne Stewart, senl'or nursing student, gives a flu shot to a senior citizen at the Parkholm Recreation Center, Portsmouth.
Senior Nursing Students' Clinic Has Largest Turnout in Rhode Island by Peggy Cremin On October 18, 197_3, senior nursing students in Community Health Nursing, together with the staff of the Visiting Nurse Service, organized three clinics. These clinics were for anyone 60 years of age or older or anyone with a chronic illness and were sponsored by the R. I. Division on Aging, N e w p or t Visiting Nurse Service. The clinics were located on Aquidneck Island: The Visiting Nurse Headquarters, Chapel St., Newport; The Parkholm Recreation Center, Parkholm, Newport and The Portsmouth Town Hall, Portsmouth. Salve students were involved in various functions at 'the clinics: registering those who came in; taking a short medical history; giving of the flu immunization injection and explaining any side effects to look for as
well as observing for any immediate reactions 'to the shot. Over 400 came . to the clinics. It was the largest turn-out anywhere in the state of Rhode Island. Miss Dwyer, Visiting Nurse Service Director, a:ttributes this large turn-out to t~~ assistance and support of the SRC senior nursing students. These clinics were tangible ii:t that they applied nursing learned in the classroom to very practical applications to help serve the Newport community. The four planning committees were: Publicity - Sister Elaine Osborn, R.S.M., chairman; Information Cindi Donovan, chairman; Staffing Sister Carol Lamoureux, R.S.M., chairman; and Transportation Adele Casale c h a i r m an. F a c u 1 t y advisors were Mrs. Maureen Hull and Miss Claire Bartholomew.
by Nancy Harden Salve Regina's Liturgy Committee has been very active this past year. They have had a Liturgy Workshop in North Easton, Mass. and numerous special masses here on campus. In the Liturgy Workshop the c o m m i t t e e helps construct a liturgy for masses for groups and composes music associated with the liturgy and techniques of guitar playing. The committee is also trying out new ideas for masses here on campus in an effort to make the Mass more appealing to 't he college community. Student representatives are Janet Blank, Alice McLaughlin, Tizzy Von Trapp, Barbara Richardt and Arlene Sakovich Sister Marianne and Father Johnson head the committee and help ~tuden~ construct music and the liturgy. Father Johnson has asked for more student participation. The meetings are on Wednesday evenings at 6:30. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Choral Notes For the remainder of the semester the Salve Regina Col· lege Glee Club, under the direc· tion of Glenn Giuttari, will per· form a number of concerts ranging from classics to pops. On December 8 the club, along with the Boston College Chorale, will perform at the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul in Providence. This rendition of Benjamin Britten's "Saint Nicholas" promise to be a memorable introduction to the Christmas season. Along with the concert j.n Boston, the glee club is also sponsoring their annual Christmas Concert here on campus. Part one is scheduled for December 8 at 8 p.m. in Ochre Court. A performance of baroque music by the - Fara Chamber Players and special guest Robert Kulo doing a reading of Truman Ca· pate's "A Christmas Memory" will highlight the evening. Par't two is scheduled for December 12 featuring the woman's chorus. Get into the Christmas spirit and join in the "wassail" afterwards. Be sure to watch for the posters announcing the upcoming concerts.
-Junior Ring Ceremony Set December 9 will mark the day upon which the Junior class will be presented with their college rings during a special Mass in the Chapel at Ochre Court exclusively for 't hemselves and their c e r t a i n invited guests. These guests include: Sister Lucille McKillop, Dean Beverly Millet;· Sister Renata Cremins., Miss Lucy Ann Shannon, Father Christopher Johnson, Sister Marianne Postiglione and Miss Rosemary Healy. Sister Lucille will distribute the rings to each student after which they will be blessed. Then Father Johnson will deliver a sermon to the girls emphasizing the significance of the reception of their class rings. After the Mass there will be a champagne brunch served in the state dining room to celebrate the event.

Readers' Theatre for -- Children Signals Upcoming Debut .~
by Terri Kubitschek Children are a wonderful audience. They like material about people, animals, clouds, birds, and anything they can visualize, whether real or imaginary. They like poetry with a clear rhythm and a rhyme. In an effort to address such an audience, Mr. Robert J . Kulo is currently developing plans to implement Readers' Theatre for Children into the Readers' Theatre program at Salve Regina. Plans are currently being negotiated with area e 1 em en tar y schools for presentation in the early part of the spring semester of R i c h a r d Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
This first Readers' Theatre for Children, under the direction of Mr. Kula, will involve musical and photographic enhancement. Mr. Glenn Giuttari is presently creating an original soundtrack for the production. And Mr. Robert Hubbard is involved in taking pictures of ocean s.cenes and

Readers' Theatre for Children is like traditional Readers' Theatre in that its ultimate goal is pure enjoyment. But because a child perceives differently from an adult, the readers must create the images in a different manner for an audience of children. In traditional Readers' Theatre, conveyance of images is possible with voice inflections, facial movements and limited gestures. To e!lact this same scene .for children, th~ re.aders not only have to employ these techniques; 't hey also have to make the story come alive through pantomime. Specific Techniques In bringing imagery to life
for children, literary selections should be relatively short. Transitions within them should be handled with care in order to connect what children know with what the literature is saying. Stories, of course, are great favorites, and children enjoy having the character made vivid by more explicit vocal and physical characterization than would be appropriate for a mature audience. This does not imply that productions are limited to children's literature exclusively. For children enjoy the sounds and the basic references in such literary works as Gerard Manley Hopkins' "The Starlight Night" or "Pied Beauty", Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" or even Robert Frost's "Choose Something Like A Star". Upcoming Presentation The final presentation this semester .w i t h i n the regular Readers' Theatre program will be the- December 19 production
