And on May 9, 10, 11 and 12 the Theatre Division of Salve Regina College will present Lerner and Loewe's musical, Camelot, at the Rogers High School auditorium.

Staring into his gorgeous brown eyes, you struggle madly . to recall narrie and occupation: "Michael, uh Malcolm, oh Brian; oceanographer, no, sociologist!" Establishing that, you try to find somewhere to go. The wine and cheese picnic routine does become a bit of a bore and the lear jet is grounded due to the fuel shortage.

Dr. Burrell Is Dean. Other Changes Made

Dr. William Burrell, newly appointed Dean of Salve Regina College.

Report Highlights Alumni ActivHies In January the first college newsletter, entitled Report from Newport, was i s s u e d by the Salve Regina Public Relations Office under the supervision of Mr. Robert J. McKenna, Director of College and Community Relations. The purpose of this publication is to foster communication among the college community, parents, and especially the alumni. In the near future, the college newsletter will be issued four times during the school year. Included in the publication will be a special alumni supplement called "Class Notes". It will contain news and information of special interest to all alumni. The college newsletter has received a large number of favorable responses from the Alumni Association, which indicates its viability for the college community,

Effective as of February 1, 1974, Dr. William Burrell, Professor of English and Education, became Dean of the College as announced by Sister Lucille McLillop.

College Sees New Studies

Library Staff Accepts Challenge: Change In Structure and Set-Up, By Cora Agnes Collins Libraries, in the collectively unconscious generalizations held dear in the minds of the greater part of the populace on almost any given campus in the United States, seem timeless, somehow changeless. Yet this common impression of traditional sameness, though upheld by a casual glance by McAuley's ivy covered, brownstone exterior, soon collapses upon a more careful investigation. A gradual but steady process of transformation for the better has been advancing throughout the past several months of this academic year. Under the new directorship of Sister Mary Giles, R.S.M., and all the other members of the staff, in conjunction with a sympathetic Library Committee, a continuous consideration and reassessment of the desires of those persons using the library facilities, and a correlative adjustment and response of things in need of improvement has been under-

furnishings to facilitate the more efficient flow of traffic, and lastly, the installation of fire doors at either end of the second floor corridor at once for greater quiet and safety. Also, on a trial basis for the time being, the four week loan period enjoyed by faculty mem. bers has now been extended to Salve students. Acquirement of the new depository for the American Enterprise Institute has substantially increased the r eserves available for resourceful students and faculty. The new material alone is greatly significant in further underscoring and reinforcing the r eal r ole any good library should play - to provide sufficiently wide-ranging opportunities for the acquirement and synthesis of knowledge, new and old, to any serious seeker requiring quality and pertinence, as well as mere quantity and diversity in the scholarly materials at his disposal.
