Career or Pleasure?

Education is one of the most vital aspects in a person's life.

H owever, a Liberal Arts education should prepare a person not only to do well in a career, but also to enjoy his leisure time in a constructive way. Both are necessary for a person to live a full life.

Few students here can afford the luxury of a purely liberal arts education. The college realizes this, therefore has distributed course requirements in a way that includes some liberal arts subjects while designating others to prepare students for a career.

Since the college began, its strengths have been in the nursing, t eaching and social work fields. We have since introduce:'! medical technology, ana special education, and this year several business training courses are being offered. A minor in journalism has been introduced into the curriculum.

This balance is to be commended. It would be a great benefit to a person with a career if he a lso had an A.B. Having an A.B. would enable a person to make the most of his leisure time in terms of enrichment. With this, a person could use his time for personal betterment. It would open avenues of cultural and artistic enjoyment that might not have been possible otherwise. Having liberal arts as a complement to a career based education would allow a person to step out of his work and broaden his outlook and interests.

A steady aiet of one thing is not good for anyone and a liberal arts ba ckground would prevent this. This combination of career and pleasure would make one a well r ounded person. The arts of music and theatre would be better appreciatd by a person who holds an A.B. and is knowledgeable in these areas.

In addition, the future with its inevitable four-day work week must be considered. When this occurs, people will 11ave even more time to spend" on leisure activities. This concept demands that a person have the background to enable him to enjoy his free time for his personal benefit. The added leisure time should be used constructively which can be accomplished through a liberal arts education.

Learning To Share Are you only trying to get the highest grades all the time or do you want m ore out of your courses? More than ever, if you listen, students and teachers today are opting for less competition and more sharing of their knowledge. Not only is competition considered less important, it has even been denounced' as working destructively against the educational system. Sharing should be the medium for educating people within a college community. Instead of traditionally r ewarding the student for achieving the highest marks the practice should be that the more knowledge a student learns, the m ore knowledge one may therefore impart to others.

Salve has joined the ranks of educational institutions moving to actualize the sharing concept. A tutorial program has been developed for students of this college as well as for anyone from the local community. Subdivided into two a reas, the first offers academic assistance in various subjects t o any college students. Also offered will be courses for those desiring an academic review, or desiring to take General Education Development tests. These refresher courses will be in math, science, and English.

The opportunities for growth either through learning or teaching are self-determined and therefore limitless. While many of us have merely talked of experiencing this, others have been doing it.

Sue Walker is one Salve student who has learned first-hand the value of sharing instead of competing. "Tutoring", she describes, as "probably the most self-enri ching project in which one could" become involved. Because to tutor, one must use one's skills, faculties, even emotions, to thrust forward the knowledge and m a ke it palatable to the student." Commenting further, "It encourages a person to develop more intelligence and more confidence. But even deeper is the satisfaction of giving."

"Perhaps," she concluded, "the essence is that as a student, one passively receives, but as a tutor, one actively gives ... and in that giving comes completeness" ... for everyone.

STUDENT FORUM "What is your opinion of all the changes that have occurred on campus and do you feel that these changes are of a positive or negative value?"

This question was put to various students as part of this month's Student Forum. Some responses were: I believe that change is good, because it shows that things have not reached a state of stagnation. However, this change must necessarily be in a positive direction or you are just pulling the dirt in over you. Having male students on campus is great, I just wish it had happened four years ago. Things like this I love to see. The rapid turnover, all at once, of some of the faculty I don't like to see. Keep progressing, Salve, but watch that dirt.

-Ellen Peterson, '75 Changes upon any campus are good because, without change, individuals fail to continue to grow. However, when change occurs, tradition should not be dismissed'. T r a d i t i o n s in themselves cause a warmth on this campus that very few schools still have.

-Nina Donahue, '74

As a new student embarking upon a new and higher form of education, I feel the elements of this change have molded a high school senior into a college student. Salve offered me every aspect of college life that I had desired. The administration and faculty were most helpful; there are e x c e ll e n t academics and beautiful surroundings.

excellent and interesting instru· ment to expose students to "change". Salve's becoming coeducational may arouse more students to the college's potentiality. However, I hope our col· lege doesn't expand to a point where students become numbers and not individuals.

I sincerely feel the recent changes in Salve are of a positive and definitely beneficial value.

.A Community Choice

by Susanne Neely During the summer opinion polls have surveyed the college and civic community on the advisability of a college name change. The Name Change Committee then decided upon Salve Regina, the Newport College.

Several reactions were offered from the campus.

Sister Lucille McKillop observed, "To retain the richness inherent in tradition and to combine this with the relevancy that time and' circumstances appear to indicate is both desirable and expediant. The name Salve Regina, the Newport College succeeds in doing just this."

Sister Mary Jean Tobin commented, "A name is not the sum of its syllables. Once it is given it becomes part and parcel of the person, place or object which it identifies. It achieves a meaning beyond its first utterance. More importantly this is not the time in our history for a name change. We need to strive to be a stabilizing force within a community which lives in the midst of many vicissitudes and contingencies."

From the student body, Ray Walker expressed his satisfaction with the decision. He cited" that the location enhanced the .name, a factor he feels, may be more appreciated by those more geographically distant from and and less familiar with the college.

Offering her opinion was DarIeen Ferland, who felt that the name Salve Regina should be retained as there was basically insufficient reason for even proposing to change the name.

Moreover she preferred it for its r i c h I y distinctive sound which fits its campus setting.

S p e a k i n g practically, Meg Bowler considered a change not feasible financially. Nor did she want the college to sound strictly like a community college.

The general tenor of the campus seemed to favor "ad'ding to" rather than changing the name.

by Martha Wolfe Not only does Sister Marianne Postiglione, Assistant Professor of Creative Arts, hav.e her own TV program for chilaren, but she also has a book of songs copyrighted.

"Marianne's Greenhouse," an innovative new show that is aired every Saturday at 7:30 a.m. on WJAR-TV, channel 10, attempts to bring the Christian message to children in an entertaining way.

Besides being the show's h ostess, Sister Marianne writes scripts for each of the 13 halfhour shows, composes songs that she sings on the program, and aids in production. In June, she attended a workshop at Loyoll'( University, New Orleans, and there she learned everything from using a camera to producing a show.

"Greenhouse," so named because it is concerned with the growth of a child into m aturity, is geared to 4 to 8 year olds.

Each program begins with a cartoon that conveys a value children can relate to.

In another segment, Sister Marianne and' her associate, Susan Caron, instruct children in an interesting crafts project, and then there is a short film. An illustrated storybook session and a puppet named "P eachy" are also entertaining, informative features.

"We try to show how good God is, and how good man is," Sister Marianne comments. "We focus on al the things that we are able to do." She hopes that one day the show will be syndicated, and would also like to involve her audience more directly in the show.

"Greenhouse" has not been Sister Marianne's only effort, however. She now has a bo::Jk of folk hymns copyrighted', en-

Sister Elizabeth Morancy has joined the history department as an instructor. Sister is teaching the American Government and American National Government courses. She also instructs in a new course in tennis; she is a champion in this sport.

Catch The Action ....

lntramurals Challenging Everyone Basketball, Football, Tennis, Plus Would you believe . . . boys and girls basketball, volleyball, softball and football intramurals and also tennis for credit?!!

Ths year everything is not only possible but certainly probable!

Now that school has begun, it does not mean that all active sports enthusiasts from the summ er have to pack up their gear and retire. Plenty of activity will be going on and will continue if students give support.

Let's look into a few . . .

Basketball tryouts for the girls were held at the end of September in the back of Miley.

This year I predict the team will take a few more games than last year. With seasoned veterans returning plus the new talent, Mr. Cunningham should have no problem bringing them close to victory! But of course we still d'o not have gym facil-

ities which will assuredly delay the winning streak! Co-captains for the basketball season, '74-75, are Ellen P eterson, '75 and Marybeth Scanlon, '77. Some of the teams to be played this year will be Providence College, Mt. St. Joe's, RIJC, RIC, SMU and URI. Faculty ,and local establishments also challenge the girls. Much luck and success to the team this year!

The boys' basketball team should be setting up shortly.

Seems that there is a lot of height and talent around. We hope to see all you guys out on the court, even if you don't need the exercise.

Something new offered this year is tennis for credit. One credit is given for the lessons to people who are beginners.

Classes are held in the morning and afternoons und'er the in-

Miss Mathison Encourages Revived Interest In Sailing 'l

'

J

l I

by Christine Zaremskl Miss Betsy Mathison, a former sailing instructor here, encourages students to take advantage of the college's seaside location and to rediscover a popular and exciting pastime.

Having served as president of the sailing club several years ago, Miss Mathison now works as an admissions counselor here.

She has been sailing since the age of ten and has raced competitively in Newport Bay. She became involved in the club in 1968, participated in several regatta races, and cond'ucted sailing classes here at the college.

Using sailboats from the Ida Lewis Yacht Club and the Newport Yacht Club, she helped Salve sponsor several intercollegiate sailing events.

In the fall of 1971, the sailing club experienced contract and communication difficulties, problems which were compounded by a loss of student interest. As a result, the club be-

came inactive and simply vanished from the college scene.

Nevertheless, Miss Mathison hopes sailing will once again gain popularity among Salve students. She thinks that the current interest in the· America's Cup races will help stimulate a new enthusiasm for the sport of sailing. She also encourages students to t ake advantage of t he many opportunities N ewport has to offer as a community-bythe-sea.

Miss Mathison strongly fe els that sailing is a great way for students to get involved in an enjoyable extracurricular activity. She is willing to serve as an advisor if there is a sincere desire to enlist interest in the sailing club.

Miss Mathison believes that Salve students would find sailing to be "an incredible experience and a wonderful way to meet friendly people." Provisions m ay be made with the Newport Yacht Club for the boats.

struction of Sister Elizabeth Morancy who is new to Salve this year. Hopefully, Salve and Sister will discover another Billy-Jean King!

Now t o intramurals! The first meeting of the Athletic Committee was held in the middle of September to initiate intramural activities on campus. Attendance was great - some of the activities you can sign up for are softball, football, and volleyball.

This program is being run under the guidance of Leslie O'Brien, who is also the coordinator for sports on campus. If anyone is interested, please be sure to contact her.

Liberal Courses Pre-Law Students Pre-law students have recently come to our campus seeking a liberal educa tion.

To begin with, economics, sociology, geography, and psychology must be covered. The students should also grasp the Fine Arts; literature, language, and religious studies. Most emphasis rests upon the study of the American political system, constitutional development, civil liberties and political philosophy.

Individual guidance is available because of the id'eal student-teacher ratio. To the prelaw students, these courses are only the necessary beginning steps to the career of a good lawyer today.

Master's P'r ograms Enrich Specializa_tion P'ossibilities

Fourteen students are now matriculated' in the Master's Program in Human Development here.

This program is designed to set two goals: to help the individual who enrolls to realize his own full potential and, through focused study in a professional area, to prepare the student to help others toward self-actualization.

Introducing the student to the processes through which people learn and progress toward maturity, it contains five areas of specialization. The s e include human development, core reading, special education and religious education. The program is flexible to meet individual needs.

There is specialization in teaching which is designed for those holding B.S. degrees who

wish to obtain initial teacher certification in elementary education, secondary education, art education or special education.

A reading course is offered for specialization in the teaching of reading.

The specialization in human development continues in greater depth and breadth the studies begun in the core. This r eflects the need's of the individuals who are primarily interested in their personal potential and development.

This program is particularly appropriate for those working as industrial and business leaders and managers, classroom instructors, school principals and supervisors, team lead'ers and counselors.

Special education specialization meets the current needs of

three groups: certified teachers in the learning disabilities field who wish to up-da t e and expand their skills.

The specialization in religious studies is geared to extend the core stud'ies to issues in the areas of the scientific study of r eligion and religious education.

In the courses planned, students will, through content and methodolgy. acquire the skills needed to teach objectively an competently.

Because no standardized test of academic competence is compatible with the philosophy of the program, prior to application, one must complete a course in human development here.

All program work must be completed within five years from hte completion date of the first course to obtain the degree.

Orientation 74-75

by Faith C. Zabriskie The arrival of the new freshman class on September 3 began the Orientation . activities and a new acad'emic year. That night, after their arrival, a picnic to welcome new students was planned for behind McAuley, the library, but with the Newport weather keeping to its tradition, it rained. The picnic was moved to Miley cafeteria, and the cafeteria was filled, something it seems that hasn't occured for a few years. On the agenda next was the opening addresses to all students by Dr. William Burrell, Dean of the College, a nd Sister

These grants cover almost the entire tuition, fees and living expenses of one year of undergraduate study.

Five R.N. traineeships have also been awarded for the 197475 academic year. They will also cover tuition, fees, and a stipend, according to Mrs. Graziano.

Members of the Nursing Department are currently involved in teaching a new, integrated curriculum, which replaces clinical experience with observation experience in the sophomore year.

Mrs. Graziano's offices have been moved from McAuley Hall to Rooms 216 and 217 in O'Hare Academic Center. She invites the entire college community to stop in for a visit.

Scheduled for the fourth was the Viking tours of Newport. The buses arrived' on time and the n ew students were given a tour of Newport viii Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue.

On Sept. 5, faculty and new students were at O'Hare for small group discussions and then were served lunch at Miley.

Sept. 6, Friday, was an official work day. I .D. pictures were taken, Financial Aid vouchers to be picked up, and bills paid in the Business Office, if not aJ. ready completed by the new program of paying by mail. On Sat., the 7th of Sept., a bike ride around Ocean Drive, headed by Dr. Frank Maguire, was cancelled because of the rain. That riight, a Mass and the college picnic were also rained out, but moved to Ochre in the Great Hall for a beautiful Mass and then to Miley cafeteria for the picnic.

With the week of activities at an end, it seems the new stu· dents are relaxed, settled in and are also independant and well adjusted.

tribute to the alleviation of a serious and increasing community problem."

The idea of the . program came when the college initiated a fifteen-hour one-credit workship at three area nursing homes. However, this proved insufficient for the needs of the nursing home personnel as they met in the daily care of their patients.

As a result, after receiving federal funds totalling $10,000, the program has been expanded to study the total person of the older patient.
