Those who plan to become teachers major in an academic subject and minor in either elementary, secondary, or art education.

Upon graduation they are eligible for certification to teach in Rhode Island; reciprocity exists with other states.

There are currently 18 undergraduates in this program. ..

Students build foundations in liberal arts during the first .three years. Practicum begins second semester of the junior year: one day a week is spent at Ports-

Each facility is used in connection with a particular aspect of nursing.

The faculty plans the classroom and clinical curricula and always accompanies students to the various agencies.

'The Beggar's Opera' Will Commence Theatre Season Vol. XVI, No. 2

SALVE REGINA COLLEGE/ NEWPORT, R.I.

N ovember, 1974

Fall Interlude ....

John Gay's colorful world of thieves, knaves, and streetwalkers will be brought .to the stage when the theatre division presents "The Beggar's Opera" at the campus theatre on December 12, 13, and 14. Being a colonial play, it will coincide with "Christmas in Newport."

The lusty comedy premiered in 1728, and is a satire of the London of Gay's tim e. Its chances of success then seemed dubious. Gay's friend , Alexander P ope, conceded .t hat the play would make "a great noise," but "whether of claps or hisses, I know not."

An overwhelming success, it was later adapted by other playwrights, such as Brecht in his "Three penny .O pera." It was this play that immortali zed the names of Mack the Knife, Suky Tawdry, and Jenny Diver. "The Beggar's Opera" and adaptations of it have been performed on and

Of Interim Study

Study Group Inv¡estigates English, Irish, Welsh Cultures During Interim Period

by Anthony Kutsaftis Don your garlic necklace and join Dr. Hersh, Sister Salina Hicks, and Mr. Glenn Giuttari on a witch hunt to Wales, Ireland, and England. The adventure gets underway December 29 and concludes January 19.

The trip, which can be taken for credit, will encompass mythology, music, archaeology and art history. The estimated cost including room, board, and passage is $750 but doesn't include tuition.

Hoping to uncover .the ancient Druid legacy, the travelers will determine what part of the ancient cultures are still intact.

The group will locate in Dublin

and London, branching out from there.

Dr. James Hersh will concentrate on the symbolism of .the ancient Druid culture through the pre-Christian, Christian, and c ontemporary periods. He will conduct the group through many ancient ruins where the priestly order performed their mysterious religious ceremonies many centuries ago. Sister Salina will be tracing art history, visiting museums in Dublin and England.

Mr. Guittari will study the evolution of the music of Ireland.

Highlights of the trip include a visit to Chester, an intact medieval city of 13th century England. The group will journey to such monuments as Stonehenge,

Avebury, Salisbury Cathedral, and Coventry Cathedral. They will also travel to such famous cities as Cambridge, and attend plays and concerts in Dublin.

Guest lectures are possible, though at this time nothing has been confirmed. The group has arranged to hear the famous King's College Boys' Choir sing when they visit Cambridge. For .the hearty and tireless soul, free time will be made available for individual sightseeing.

A preparatory workshop is also planned with films and lectures scheduled. One of the films is Yeats' Country, about William Butler Yeats' native Ireland.

Interim study with a Spanish flair is being offered at the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico, from January 8 to January 25.

This program will stress crosscultural study and experience.

A total of 5 credits may be earned in a multi-dimensional course combining lectures, media programs, field trips, and extended travel periods.

Students who h ave h ad s0me background in the Spanish language may apply for this pro~ gram. The cost of tuition is $135, board is $15 a day, and a la carte meals are $4 daily.

This will be the first interim program being offered to American students at the three-yearold campus. It will strive to develop a student's language competency as well as his awareness of the cultural, social, and historical aspects of Mexico.

The study program will also allow students to discover the unique charm of the land and the rich heritage of the Mexican people.

off ever since.

Director J oan David comm ents, "Gay's characters, with their hypocritical code of morality and honor, reflect the tendencies of the government of his time."

In the despicable character of Peachum, Gay implied that government officials who called themselves "gentlemen" were corrupt thieves who exploited people. When Peachum no longer needed someone, he betrayed them for the sake of the reward offered for their apprehension.

The prostitutes in the comedy act like the most elegant of court ladies.

Thomas Reborn December 6, 7 Readers' Theater, under the direction of Mr. B0b Kulo, will present Under Milk W ood, a play for voices, on Friday and Saturday nights, December 6 and 7 in the Readers' Theatre - T. B. Auditorium in O'Hare Academic Center.

The unfinished play is a fiction a 1 autobiography about Wales, the home of Dylan Thomas. The play will be blocked, adding action to enhance the story, by Mr. Kula. Tentatively, .t he cast will include Andy Spaulding, Frank Johnson, Mike Radkovich, Paul Pruitt, Betty Vohl, Debbie Chandler, and Ann Rinke!. Mr. Glenn Guittari has scored the entire play.

Dylan Thomas was a modern poet who died in New York at the age of 39. Thom as portrayed reality. He saw people as they were and wrote about them in the harsh light of this knowledge. Although his keen insight a llowed him to see through people, he loved people he so well understood. A loner and' drunkard who often over-imbibed, Dylan lived himself to death.

Thomas drafted 5 unknown and out of work actors and on May 10, 1953, they performed his beloved play. His directions to the actors, "Love the words," have become an inspiration to other oral interpreters of literature.

Chaplain Reflects

Mass Media: Essential to Life

Upon Silent 70's

While communication is the art of expressing ideas in speech and writing, mass communication is "that means of communication that reaches and influences large numbers of people" as seen through newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

Mass communication h as two· major functions for its existence, to inform and entertain.

In addition, it is there to help discover truth for its audiences and to safeguard their civil liberties. It is the media which, through its news bulletins, allows people to watch the horizons of the world and to remain aware of its happenings. As a r esult, mass communication en a b 1 e s people to form a r esponse to the challenges p r e s e n t e d by the

world through editorials, news, and features.

Communication transmits the culture of a people for the entire world to enjoy while it entertains with magazines, television, and motion pictures. It is responsible for much of the world's social life. Besides that, the media is the source for the sale of goods and services.

Therefore, mass communications is essential to man's way of life. With this importance comes a responsibility, a responsibility to the people. The media is the main power center of the world because it carries such a strong impact upon people. Its influence is so great that it often does man's thinking and decision making for him. Editor-

ials give points of view which shape public opinion. Because of .this the media must give a ' responsible performance to the people. It reaches such a wide audience and is so vital to the creation of public feeling that it must be totally responsible for its actions. Mass communication needs to be conscientious in its broadcasting so that all people will benefit from it.

For these reasons, the college will be offering a course in Mass Communication d·u ring second semester. This course will be designed for anyone remotely interested in the media and will be open to the entire student body. Credit can be gained in such fields of concentration as history, political science, English, and the fine arts.

COLLEGE FOR UM Question: Do you feel that communication on campus has improved? If so, how? If not, w hat further could be done?

...

...

...

It seems t o me that communication on campus is better now than it has been in the last few years. The various publications that are meant to provide communications seem to be performing their functions quite well.

However, I think that some improvement is needed in intergroup communication. Students and faculty often seem to be on different wavelengths. Last year the rap sessions sponsored by the Christian Life Center went a long way toward meeting this need.

In short, official communications seem to be performing their functfons well, but ther~ seems to be a need: for an atmosphere wherein interpersonal communication could flourish.

-Dr. Charles Trimbach

...

• •

Continuous informal lines of communication between students, faculty, and administration can only be frustrating and misleading. It is not necessarily formality that is needed, but a technique that revolves around reaching all m embers of our campus community. With Student Congress moving toward this revolvement and the new members in Administration, it seems the slow, unsatisfying system of communication I experience last year is over. Improving communication could improve our whole campus atmosphere. It could. But is there value in communication improvement when the response comes from few, and what began with a purpose, goes by unnoticed?

-Molly Curry

...

• •

I feel that one of the major problems one encounters on this campus is that of communication. How often does one hear a student, faculty member, or administrator say : "I didn't hear about that" or "When did this

happen?'' or "They never tell us a n y t h i n g." • Sounds familiar doesn't it?

One must remember that communication is a two-way street.

If a person gives his share of input, he needs the feedback necessary t o facilitate the com-

I

munication process. Without this feedback, communication is analogous to a closed door.

If communication is to improve, we need to open these doors and begin .to exchange ideas.

-Nancy Schneider

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: Last month, Salve Regina College initiated a swimming and basketball program at the Boys' Club of Newport on Church Street. On Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 :30 to 10:30 p.m ., Salve Regina College students have use of the Boys' Club pool and gymnasium for swimming instruction, recreational swimming, and basketball team practice. A bus provided by .the Boys' Club offers round trip transportation between Miley Hall and the Church Street facilities, at no charge to students participating in these programs.

The Salve Regina College programs offered in conjunction with the Newport Boys' Club are new this semester. They are experimental, providing a step toward greater cooperation and utilization of existing facilities and res<mrces between the College and community organizations like the Boys' Club.

-Mrs. Vicki White Assistant to Dean of Students

There is a touch of the Rip van Winkle story in my personal experience of modern youth.

When I left the island in 1970, the last echoes of the youth protest had not died out; Vietnam was still an explosive issue and Kent State was a name pronounced in bitterness. The memories of those days remained undiluted while I worked in a totally different culture. As rector of a small, secondary school in Tanaznia, I was surrounded by young people caught up in the adventure of building a new nation. When I returned to the States in December, it was like Rip's re-entry into a strange, threatening world which once was home. .. At first, I was somewhat depressed. "Where have all the dreamers and idealists gone?" I asked myself. Had the next wave of college students snuffed out the torch of protest and reform?

Had youth lost the courage of conviction and the resolve for reform and renewal? Could TIME and NEWSWEEK be right in describing the college kids of now as "the self-centered generation?" As a college chaplain, it is important to seek answers to these questions. But they are not easy questions and, so early in my searching, the answers remain tenative.

I find you less vocal, but perhaps more reflective; less dramatic, perhaps more realistic. At a time when each day's news bemoans the economic crisis, it is simple logic to be deeply concerned about one's financial security: I find you to be logical.

I am not ready as others are to label you "the new materialists."

My initial contacts with you have been encouraging and seem to justify a guarded optimism as we face the future together.

I anticipate quiet commitment more than dramatic gesture; thoughtful concern for community rather than bold, mass protest. While it was exciting to be involved wtih the "protest people" of .t he sixties, it seems appropriate to wonder what they are doing now to reform and renew society at this moment.

Could not a more reflective approach to problems prove more enduring?

In truth, my questions remain but I am encouraged to think I am not alone in searching.

Freshman Core Explores Change in Modern Age

By Sister Mary Jean "Cliange in the Modern Age" is the general topic for the freshman General Education Core.

During the fall semester freshmen are exploring this topic within 3 units.

Dealing with energy from its simplest form to its more complex, from cell to human consciousness, .t he science unit indudes the cellular basis of life, !ower to higher forms, and culminates in the physiology of consciousness.

Entitled "Interrelationships", a second unit explores the contribution of religious studies, art history, language, and public health within the compass of the modern age.

Religious studies faculty chose to deal with Christian implications in the Fourth World, in women's liberation and' also within the concept of Christian liberation in itself.

In order to develop an appre-¡ ciation for visual art and design, the lectures in art history give an introduction to the nature of art and aesthetics, past, present, and future.

In the language unit students are given a working knowledge of Spanish which will prove useful professionally and as a basis for further . study in this language.

Since nutrition and dietary patterns are vitally affected by

Fine Arts Plan Several Activities The Fine Arts Committee has planned numerous and various activities for the academic year 1974-75.

Mr. Glenn Giuttari is the group's advisor, and members include Marcy Remer, chairman, Helen Lavallee, Mary Galkowski, Adina Popovici, Sylvia Mulligan, Linda Bouchard, Maureen J ordan, and Sister Salina Hicks.

The first event will be a faculty recital, November 14, in Ochre Court. Members of the music department will participate. There will be a small admission charge.

A wine and cheese reception will follow the concert.

On December 9, Myles and Herci Marsden will give a ballet performance in Ochre Court.

This husband and wife team are members of the faculty lmd they are founders o fthe State Ballet of R. I. A d m i s s i o n will be charged, To be held the week of exams, a film festival is planned to break the tension and monotony of December 13-16. There will be no admission charge, popcorn will be sold, and it will be in Miley Hall. The films include the oldies but goodies: Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, W. C. Fields, Marx Bros., Buster Keaton, and the 3 Stooges. Each night's performance will only run for 40 minutes.

Second semester events are tentative. Jazz Limited has been contacted to perform February 22. An International Week and a Renaissance Week are being coordinated with various clubs.

social change, the nursing division elected to investigate this problem with the freshmen.

Humanities, the third unit, views the period' from 1920-1945 within the changing spectrum of history, sociology, literature, philosophy, and music. The 20's and the ¡decade before .the war and the social phenomena of extremist movements are closely . allied.

Correlated with the music of the period, a bird's eye view of the short story emphasizes further cultural changes and dimensions.

Also providing an interpretation for the changing ideas of the period, freshmen examine we s t e r n psychology involving Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell.

Five Males Now Reside In Dorm Five male students are currently living in the Gatehouse, formerly the chaplain's residence.

Of the five men, a mixture of classes can be seen. The resident assistant, Dan Stypa, is a senior whose home is in Oak Lawn, Ilinois. He is an art major with a minor in secondary education.

Other members of the house include Bill D'Antuono, a junior from Falmouth, Massachusetts, whose field of concentration is special education and Ray Walker from Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Ray is in his sophomore year and is working for a degree in history and political science.

Two freshmen, John Mazzulla of Newport and Melkiori Matwi from Tanzania also reside there.

According to Dan Stypa, living at the Gatehouse can be an enjoyable experience. "The living experience within the Gatehouse is one quite different."

Follow-Ups Dr. Burrell's office released .the official fall enrollment statistics. There are 1,251 students attending classes; 867 are full time equivalent. (Full time equivalent means a program of 12 hours or more.) One hundred people are now involved in the Master's Program, including 44 full time equivalent students.

Sisters of Mercy hold 50% of the 62 full-time faculty positions.

Six of the 9 provinces of the order are represented: S.M. Callista Fontaine, Omaha; Sister Salina Hicks, Chicago; Sister Constance K o z e I, Scranton; Sister Michaeline Lewandowski, Detroit; Sister Lucille McKillop, Chicago; and Sister Giles Peresich, St. Louis.

Resident Assistant's Role

By Nancy Schneider Resident Assistants are junior or senior students selected by the Director of Residence and the Dean of Students for a one-year tenure. They are the student staff members who live in the dorms and make sure that the residences function on a cohesive level.

Traditionally, the R.A. has been viewed as a member of the administration who acts in a punitive role, hands out keys and sits at Miley Desk. However, the role is much more than this.

We view our r ole as a facilitative one. We are there t o help the students in a ny way with the problems that are encountered living away from home and in a de>rm setting. Big Sister (or Big Brother, as the case js now) is one term which may be used to describe our position.

The R.A. is one who acts in a mature fashion, promotes a sense of good feeling among the people on her / his fl oor and is friendly t o all. Hopefully, the R.A. is one tha t a student feels she/ he can go to in time of strife. The R.A. listens, but does not judge, in guiding the student to a solution to her/ his problem.

The R.A. is a link between the administration and the student; a r esource person. Even though the R.A. is also a student, she/ he is willing to give the time t o the students so that dorm life will be a little bit easier.

Confidentiality is one of our major concerns, and the student

The majority of the girls interviewed were in agreement upon the outstanding faculty.

Although they have only encountered the faculty members concerned with their major fields of interest and' the Core required subjects, they are finding the faculty helpful and the courses challenging. Ann Lavery, a special education major added that she felt the academic courses here are "fantastic" and about the best she encountered.

Some freshman students have found the curfew hours a t Miley hard to adjust t o, but are quick to realize that it's in the best interest of the freshman regarding fil'st semester marks and well-being.

Many of the girls come to Salve with some m ajor accomplishments achieved during their

New Freshmen Enjoy Salve's Setting,.

Personal, Informal Atmosphere, Faculty Now that the freshmen are pretty well settled and have had a chance to see much of Newport in all its beauty and have tasted a bit of college life here at Salve, it seems that, when asked their opinion on several aspects concerning their life here so far, they all emphasized one feature about the school, and that was its location.

Janell Demyan, a sociology major, was quick to comment on the beautiful setting of the college plus the fact that the total atmosphere is so personal and informal. She also likes the chapel situated in Ochre Court.

"I like going to church in a mansion," she commented, adding that it coincided with the informality of the entire college community.

Swimming Continues at Boys' Club; T ony Ames Coaches Men's Basketball by l\'leg Bowler

1

Seems as if the swimming program is a great success!! For those of you who aren't involved in the program, I will fill you in on s Jme of the details.

Swimming is held on Wednesdays and' Thursdays at the Boys' Club in Newport for 1 hour, 9:30 to 10:30, on both nights. It consists of 4 classes - beginning swimming, intermediate, recreational and 1 if e saving.

Teaching the beginning class is our own Director of Residence, Leslie O'Brien; intermediate is taught my Sheila Lyons, and lifesaving is taught by a staff member of the Boys' Club. For all those who signed for it, one credit is being given. About 25 people are active in this swimming program.

Comments I have been hearing are all favorable, "It's a lot of fun, everyone really enjoys it," and "it's about time the school instituted a program such as this."

Good luck to all those involved in this program - they will turn you into ducks yet!!

I haven't heard any formal words from the boys' basketball team; it is coached by Tony Ames. The girls' team has been working out every week and' is trying to obtain extra gym time for more practice. The team has great potential, so hopefully the practice time will be acquired! !

Sports Day was held and unfortunately it wasn't supported wholeheartedly by the student body. Contests held included egg throwing, licorice eating, pie eating, games of red rover, 3legged races and relay races.

Not that many people participated in the races, mainly just the eating contests were well entered. Those who attended seemed t o really enjoy themselves.

Intramurals haven't gotten off the ground yet; unless peDple get m ~:>virg, they won't be into full swing until next semester.

Mr. Biello VA Man-on-Campus The Veterans' Administration Man-an-Campus or the Vet Rep is Mr. Stephen W. Biello, who shares an office with Mr. Carl Nykaza on the second floor of Ochre.

"My full-time base of operations is Roger Williams College in Bristol," he states. "I am at Salve Regina every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at specified times when the college feels that the work load is especially heavy.

"My primary function involves problems regarding veterans' educational benefits. I identify and prevent problems that might arise in order to insure expeditious payment to the veterans.

"I am also equipped to discuss VA benefits: disability compensation, pension, guaranteed home loans, medical care, life insurance, and special aid for the handicapped."

In early November a "Masquerade Party" is being held in the Haven. The second weekend, a party is being held in the cafeteria; sponsoring this are the guys on campus; and the Senior's 200 Days Party is scheduled for November 20. Come December, plans are being made to send buses to Boston for Christmas shopping, the buses will be sent December 7; tickets will be s::>ld in advance and the amount of buses will be dependent upon the tickets sold. The Christmas Party will be held December 6 and the place is not confirmed yet. There is a possibility the whole party will be held in Ochre Court . . . so keep your eyes open!! Please support these functions or else they cannot be held.

The Student Congress is investigating the possibility of a Student Self Study on campus, under the direction of Dr. Megley. The purpose of it will be to

find out whether the College is meeting the needs of all its students. The study will be coordinated through Congress in conjunction with a committee representing all aspects of Salve's community; different factions of the College will also be instrumental in helping to bring this study to its fruition.

Dr. J ames Hersh, professor of philosophy, attended a m ythological conference in Kentucky where he presented his book, Piersall Hugg: Duty and the Feast.

The conference, which was called "Consciousness, Mythology, and the Creative Process," was held from October 28 t o November 1 at .t he Carter Caves State Park. T he program of this unusual conference combined group and panel discussions with actual participation in reenactments of ancient rituals.

As a speaker on a panel called "Sense, Symbol, and R itual," Dr. Hersh discussed his recent book, which is a series of extended images on dreams and altered states of consciou sness.

He has used this book extensively in his mythology class.

During the week-long conference, Dr. Hersh participated in a midnight ritual of rebirth by descending into a cave just as primitive man had d'one in the caves of Europe. He also t ook part in a ritualistic ascent up a mountain and a walk t hrough a forest to contact t he four elements of earth , air, water, and fire.
