At Year's End

Outreach

by Susanne Neely Sister Lucille McKillop, in completing her first academic year with us, has reached out to the entire college community and beyond it. To those who work with her, she is a woman willing to take a risk in her role of leadership.

Flexibility is the indispensable quality for structures under stress. It is a quality to be prized in college presidents today. It is the quality I associate immediately with Sister Lucille," comments Dr. William Burrell, Dean of the College.

Students felt Sister's interest first hand with the opportunity to discuss specific problems over informal lunches, as well as support given to the class officers in various projects. A judiciary board was also formed to handle student grievances. Sister also retained the services of a clinical psychologist, Alan Schor, from the Newport Mental Health Clinic, with whom many students may consult, free of cost.

Faculty were interviewed for creative thinking before the fall semester, and during the year Sister disseminated items "for reflection" to the college community from higher educational publications, and from questions posed by Sister herself and interested observers.

Members of the administration probably worked with Sister Lucille more closely than anyone else. "It is a general change in attitude towards optimistic growth image for the College that seems to be the most impoctan~ contribution that Sister has made in terms of the response of the general public. This general attitudinal change is, I think, reflected in such things as more and better newspaper and other media coverage of .t he College, as well as in more student applications and enrollment," states Mr. Robert McKenna.

Sister Lucille has also initiated extensive restructuring of the administration, her goals outlining clearer definitions of procedures, responsibilities and accountability.

Active support by Sister in the planning of the Graduate Program was a significant factor in its successful implementation. Her introduction of a new budgeting system with the help of a team of experts is expected to be a valued tool for everyone at the College, asserts Mrs. Carol Storez.

Sister has worked with the Admissions Office, particularly regarding recruitment. Notices of our co-educational status were sent to all high schools and junior colleges in the U.S. and replies came from over 20 states across the country.

Sister has looked at existing systems and is continuing to determine Salve's responsibility to effect change in these systems.

In the F'inal Analysis

by Terri Kubitschek "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ..." These words of Charles Dickens strike me as an appropriate description of our year with Ebb Tide. Admittedly starting as journalistic novices, we bolstered our lack of experience with a determined enthusiasm, aided by some well-timed and much needed encouragement throughout the year. At this time, I would like .to acknowledge those people from whom such encouragement was especially forthcoming.

My heartfelt thanks to: Mrs. Patricia Thornton: The September issue - from layout to transportation to proof reading - would not have been possible without her time and help.

Dr. Beverly Miller: ~ .. whose every effort was to aid Ebb Tide in functioning as a .t asteful forum for the college community. In doing so, she gave me her personal note of trust in the abilities of the Ebb Tide staff, procured for us an instructional adviser and contributed to the first semester issues.

Which brings me .to said instructional adviser, Sister Mary Loretto O'Connor : Any newspaper who has an adviser with Sister Loretto's wealth of journalistic know-how is a lucky paper indeed. And a personal note of thanks for the orange juice and cookies which prevented many a starvation and migraine for me.

Further .thanks to: Those¡ faculty members who took the time to offer encouragement both verbally and in writing, especially Mrs. Mary-Charles Santopietro.

Fellow students who offered encouragement: A pat on the head from one's peers is always nice . . . and at times, necessary.

Peter-at-Syracuse: For a skillfully wielded red pen . . always followed by words of encouragement.

Kirk: For being there.

Our printer Vinnie, typesetter Everett and their staffs: For patience above and beyond the call of duty.

And finally, thank you to a staff with whom it was a joy to work and in whom I have every confidence for success next year.

Editorial ...

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Revitalization, involvement and implementation: three important words, but also three necessary words to be a truly effective and representative Student Congress.

Students are the life-line of any college. Salve is no different. A Student Congress cannot be vital without your input. Congress is there to implement the wants and needs of the Student Body. This can only be accomplished by your involvement.

One talks about communication between faculty, administration, and students. But in reality, how much communication is there between the students at Salve? Is everyone working together to bring change about? Of course, the excuse is the "t imes." In days such as these, individualism scores high.

There is no driving spirit to keep things alive anymore; everyone goes his or her separate ways.

For reasons such as these, Congress must be re-vitalized.

There was a noticeable change in the atmosphere on the campus this year ; we are working together with faculty and administration. Now is the time we must work between students and Student Congress. We cannot hang from the rafters with lofty ideas and promises. We see what we have to work with and from there precipitate change.

All I can really ask is to please seriously consider your involvement in helping us make Congress effective. Re-vitalization must be collective.

Sincerely, Meg Bowler, President Student Congress '74-'75 Dear Editor, In the Student Forum section of the March, 1974 Ebb Tide issue a statement was made that "in the upper classes .t here is apathy and it shouldn't be." As a member of the upper classes (a junior to be specific), I would like to say some positive words for the upperclassmen who do work hard. We have hard working students on the Student Congress; in various class office positions, and on various school committees. They have run parties and events to try and keep an active social life on campus; they worked hard over last summer to form an Athletic Committee; they, too, are interested in having a Student Union, and trying to improve the campus in general as a better place for all students. They are also involved in community projects.

Thank you, Louise Brenner, '75 Dear Editor, For all those who, like myself, seem to run around and look at signs but never quite read them, I wanted to mention the Rap Sessions. I always go to the one on Mondays, and I think they're great. We get together- .t eachers and students - in Alumnae Lounge and just talk about things that interest us. We tillk about everything from dreams to King Richard (or President Nixon, as the case may be).

I just wanted to say a word or two about the Rap Sessions because I think people would really enjoy them if they came.

Sincerely, Ellen Peterson '75

Whereby Does It Go¡?

Anne Quigley With all the expenses involved in a college education it may seem silly to wonder about a mere $50 charged for a student activity fee. But, multiply this $50 by approximately four hundred people and you have $20,000 to deal with. This adds up to a large amount of money. Therefore, the question that must be posed is "where does all the money go?" Once we pay our bill, what happens to our money? How is it spent? Since we have a budget committee which has the final decision on the use of the money, it should be accountable to the students.

Have all the priorities concerning the different organizations on campus been observed? Looking at the various clubs it does not seem that the money is distributed fairly. Why is it .t hat the Glee Club was given $2000 as a budget for one semester and our own Ebb Tide was only given $1700 for t he entire year? As a re sult of this uneven distribution, the newpaper was unable to continue coming out on a monthly basis. It seems that the newspaper serves a more valuable service to the college community on the whole than .the Glee Club.

And, how about the Social Committee? What do they do with all of their appropriations? Why is it that the students must be responsible for the cost of a party no matter what class sponsors it? In conjunction with this there is also the matter of the Speakers Committee. Considering that there were few speakers on this campus this year, why should .t his particular organization retain its budget?

The same is true for S.N.E.A. In the past two years S.N.E.A. has only sponsored two or three events, yet they have approximately $150 lying dormant in the bank. Why can't this money be recirculated and put to more profitable use? Right now it is not being put to good use.

Another major concern is the yearbook. This undertaking is by far .t he most expensive and uses the most money. Even though the yearbook is given to all students, is it fair that this publication be given the lion's share of the activities fee?

Because it appears that there is an unequal distribution of funds to the various clubs, I feel that there should be an evaluation at the end of the first semester to see if there is any money which is not being used. If there is extra money not being utilized it should be redistributed to other more deserving areas.

Another suggestion t o be made is that the Budget Committee post the results of the distribution of the activity fee so that all the students can see where their money has gone. The Budget Committee of this year has stated that it intends to post .the figures before the end of the year. This is a good practice which should be continued.

The students have a right .to know about their money and where it goes!

Cotillion Captures Spring Arrival, Excelling . ..

Sigma Elects Other Spring Weekend Activities

by Kathy Stevens The freshman class and the social committee provided Salve students with varied activities, academic and social, on and off campus the weekend of April 26-28.

Cotillion Cotillion, the freshman formal, was held Saturday evening from 7 p.m. till 1 a .m. in Ochre Court.

The theme of Cotillion, Sunshine On My Shoulders, was chosen by a vote of the class.

Honored guests invited were Sister Mary Lucille McKillop R.S.M., Dean Beverly Miller, Dr. E. William Burrell, Sister Renata Cremins S.H.C.J., Father Christopher Johnson and Miss Lucy Ann Shannon.

Other invited guests were .t he parents of the class officers; Mr. and Mrs. Devon W. Deyhle, Mr. and Mrs. Mario Silva, Mr. and Mrs. William Scanlon, Mr. and Mrs. Winsor Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. John Boyajian, the freshman class moderator. Also invited were the three freshman C.ORE co-ordinators, Dr. and Mrs. George V. Morris, Dr. and Mrs. Michael E. Werle and Sister Mary Jean Tobin R.S.M. The receiving line was formed down the Grand Staircase while music was provided on the piano

New Curriculum Depicts Indians What new courses on campus this spring included history, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, art religion, and any other subject you can possibly think of as part of its regular system of study?

If you guessed the independent History 499 class entitled, "The Contemporary American Indian," you are correct.

Under the inspirational guidance of Colonel Richard Guertin, a part-time instructor in the HistoryjPolitics Department, a substantial number of students has enthusiastically researched and absorbed the essence of Native American existence by looking at the present-day situation in terms of the past as seen through Indian eyes.

Colonel Guertin consistently ascribes credit for the success and popularity of this course to the continued interest and enthusiasm of its many participants. Through the combination of a rapid but thorough historical survey technique, field trips, lectures, and individualized student projects, a clearer, more sympathetic perception of the American Indian has been accomplished.

The uniqueness of this curriculum rests on the concern and involvement of the students in the course.

Awareness of the Indian problem will continue to grow in the personal thought and actions of these first students of .t he original inhabitants of our continent - the Native Americans.

Catering for the event was under the direction of the food director, Russell E. Batey, and the chef, Willard Johnson. A buffet was served from 7 to 8 :30 in the State Dining Room.

Entertainment was provided

by Meadowbrooke, a group from Boston.

Cotillion was the freshman introduction into the social activity of the college. A committee of twelve members chaired

by Rosemary Duncan and Cindy Davis helped organize Cotillion.

Spring Weekend Social Committee sponsored Spring Weekend at the same

time. Spring Weekend began with a boatride Friday night which left from .t he Bristol dock on Church Street from 8 to 12.

Admission was $3.50 per person and $6.00 per couple which included a live band and all the beer you could drink.

Saturday was highlighted by a party at Biggy's. The party was from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. and the admission was $1.00.

Investiture was held Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. at Ochre Court. Sophomores were formally introduced into the academic life of the college.

All Salve Regina College students were offered a weekend of fun and excitement.

With A Major In History The W·o rld Can Be Yours (Editor's note: The following is the third in a series of articles presented by the department chairmen on career opportunities.)

by Sister Ann Nelson Archaeology, anyone?

For those students who desire careers that could range anywhere from preserving fossils or jets, a major in History or Politics is worthy of investigation.

As department chairman, I feel that the variety of jobs available for History majors is boundless. Positions in government, news media, museums, and law offices all beckon to a History and Politics major.

When complemented with a development in such areas as languages, math, chemistry, jouralism, sociology or psychology, the opportunities are unlimted.

Ability, enthusiasm, and maturity can be demonstrated through the numerous internship pro-

B~icentennial

Aims

For Independence Salve will reawaken the Revolutionary War from July 1-26 in the form of our Bicentennial

II. First to prepare a Bicentennial Educational Program, Salve will be giving its second presentation in the lecture series entitled, "The Phenomena of a Revolution." Besides discovering lesser-known people and places you may also appreciate the 4 college credits to be gained in either History, Political Science, Economics, or Education, if you're a .teacher, college student or high school senior. Tuition, including trips, is $255.00, and lodging available at Salve, $200.

Trips will include going to Saratoga, N. Y. and on a schooner a la John Paul Jones) to Mystic, Connecticut. Even more will be offered on campus, such as a "Revolutionary War Musicale," a Johnny Cake Festival, a Mohawk tribal dance, and more.

To qualify, only an interest in .the Revolutionary War is necessary, whether you're in or out of college. To inquire further contact Sister Ann Nelson.

The Department of History and Politics seeks .to provide a generalist background in order that opportunities for the future are not limited too soon.

'75 Officers

Officers for Sigma Phi Sigma for 1974-75 were recently elected by the members. The new officers will take office star.t ing in September.

Marianne Campion is the new President while Vice President is Paula Rousseau. Anne Quigley is the new Secretary-Treasurer.

For the weekend of April 6 and 7 two Sigma members, Marianne Campion and Anne Quigley, accompanied by their moderator Sister Mary Brenda, attended the National Sigma Phi Sigma Convention at Georgian Court College in Lakewood, New Jersey.

Lectures on the role of women were attended and national offiers were elected. Patricia Harrington became next year's National Secretary.

For those who do not know Sigma Phi Sigma, it is a National Mercy Honor Society established in 1955.

Sigma honors those students who excel in scholarship, fidelity, and service.

The society has Mother Catherine McAuley as its model.

New Location Has Results Of Increase In Business

by Nancy Harden As of last September, the Bookstore opened for business at its new location in O'Hare Academic Center. In the past, the Bookstore had been situated on the bottom floor of Miley Hall.

With this change in location came a 25% increase in business.

Mr. Lytton feels that the increase came about because the store is in a more convenient place on campus, and an increase in space allowed for more products to be carried.

Recently inflation has caused many problems. Paper and books have increased 15 to 20% this past year, with an expected 20% increase by next September.

On May 21, from 9 to 4, The Barnes-Noble Company of New York will be at the Bookstore buying any of your second hand books.

During the spring semester, a new program was offered: Computer Science.

Computer Science 1 taught by Dr. George Morris and Dr. George Wilkinson was held in conjunction with the Raytheon Center in Portsmouth. This course deals with the language used in computers with a strong emphasis on Fortrain and its use in programming.

The purpose of a course like this is to start people thinking in a more abstract and free way.

This has obvious use in our computerized world.

Its other purpose is to work in conjunction with other agencies.

Computer Science 2 will also be offered with an emphasis on programming.

Beacuse of the good turnout of this course, the future holds many possibilities. Many more courses in math will be offered within the next two years. Courses will be offered in probability and in statistics, for both the math major and the non-major.

On Major Issues

by Susanne Neely There's been a new addition to Salve's library this semester in the presence of a commanding depository of American Enterprise Institute (AEI) reference rna terials.

The American Enterprise Institute, research and educational organization located in Washington, D.C., was establised in 1943 to assist the nation's legislators and educational leaders by providing factual analyses of important national policy issues.

AEI aims to present in depth facts in a varied and meaningful manner over and above .the simplistic absolutes of tot a I praise or total condemnation too commonly found elsewhere.

Major issues of national significance are discussed through legislative and special analyses, long-range studies, rational debates, seminars and symposeia.

This expanse of rna terial in the Center for Public Policy Research is culled from the resources of outstanding authorities, spanning the areas of economics, law, education, journalism and politics, as well as related interest groups and the press.

All participate in an open exchange of views and opinions on specific issues.

Subjects of some of .t he rational debates include: "Civil Disobediance : Aid or Hindrance to Justice?"; "Strategic Sufficiency: Fact or Fiction?"; "A Just Peace in the Mideast. How Can It Be Achieved?"; "The Role of Congress in Foreign Policy"; "The Presidency and the Press Conference"; and "Can Regulatory Agencies Protect Consumers?"

McGinn Memorial English Collection Now On Display

by Karen Jablonski

Computer Course Prompts Interest

~

Library Expands

More and more students are discovering a new and special selection of books, the Richard McGinn Memorial Book Collection, a prominent addition to the library.

Mr. McGinn, who was formerly a professor of English at Salve, had often expressed his desire for more books in the library, in accordance with the definite needs of the English department.

Books now in the collection include many of those specifically desired by Mr. McGinn as well as others required by the Eng-

lish department. The Medieval and Renaissance periods are areas frequently dealt with in many of these books.

Mrs. Richard McGinn suggesteded to relatives and acquaintances of her late husband .that donations be made wtih the formation of a memorial book colletcion at Salve's library as a goal. As a result, a total of seven hundred dollars was collected and used to purchase those books in this collection.

Sister Giles, of the library, suggests that all members of the college community view the books while the collection is still on display.

by Regina Tracy College seniors rarely start out epitomizing e v e r y psychosis known to man - the phenomena of graduate school renders them hysterical, unstable and pyschopathic.

Eventually one decides to pursue advanced work - a decision based on different factors - the wish to discover beauty and truth as did Plato and Aristotle. However, no admissions director in his right mind will accept that one, and usual lines of reasoning are: a) no one will hire you without a master's and b) you have a masochistic desire for rejection.

After deciding what school one's presence will grace, applications are completed. Their questions are generally completely irrelevant and loaded - for example when asked what . city you'd like to work in - you know everyone says New York, and if you declare your life's ambition is to work in Cranston, R. I. you'll be committed.

The worse part is waiting when one becomes unbearable to family and friends, boring, prone to drive over small helpless animals and larger, less helpless pedestrians. Other symptoms of this phase is the tendency to develop a somewhat worrisome fondness for Manhattans, and the paramount importance of the postman in your life.

I should finish this article, for we are going to press . . . but l'd really rather check the mail!

Varied Interests For Commuters

Many people wonder what commuters do after they bolt out of classes and rush to their cars or bikes or whatever, quickly scattering in every direction.

This article will hopefully be the first of many to shed some light on this mystery by exploring the many commitments and pasttimes commuters have.

Of course, many commuters have off-campus jobs, scarce though they may be on the island. One junior commuter manages two part-time jobs, one in the intensive care unit of Newport Hospital, and another at a pastoral counseling clinic.

She also enjoys painting and biking.

A freshman commuter from Tiverton has lately been selling cosmetics, but spends her free time caring for and enjoying the two horses that she owns.

Another freshman commuter, although _ presently unemployed, is obsessed with old, unoccupied houses. She hopes to work toward a real estate broker's license during the summer.
