At a time when there is heightened optimism about Salve, its Christian mission, its increased and increasing enrollment, its expanding programs, appreciation is in order to all of you who have contributed to the tone for which all of us have hoped over the past troubled years in the national college scene. And so I congratulate you who have moved away from that unhealthy scene. You are bringing life, becoming a part of the building of a new college community with new ideas, new attitudes; holding on to that capacity for tree inquiry which allows us to call ourselves a college community, becoming a part of the Christmas message, making all things new. We encourage you to realize that we are all a part of a Christian commtmity of scholars - a community in which we must have respect for the hopes and needs of all persons within the College and all the persons it touches. This year should be our pledge to each other that we will foster that growing,- t]J,at groaning, that becoming which is the right of each person, as we create the atmosphere in which each of us can welcome the other into that college community which we will have had a hand in creating. Spread the joyful news! Have a happy, holy Christmas season.

Extra-Classroom Activities Expand Students' Learning A s em e s t e r of internship worth four credits is available .t o juniors and seniors in s ociology. Students work in a community agency eight to ten hours a week, see real problems, and gain practical experience in a related field outside the classroom. Presently one student is a t the Youth Services Bureau in Providence and one is at the Public Defender's office in Newport. Future expansion of .t he internship is planned. Mr. John O'Neil and Mr. David Carlin head the program. Six upperclassmen are involved in the political science internship program. In addition to the traditional internships at the state and federal government levels, students have the opportunity to work all school year in the Office of the Public Defender in the Newport court system. Those who are considering careers in law are exposed to the cases of accused persons who can't afford legal counsel, and function as lawyers in the office's more routine aspects. They interview clients and conduct research.

"Schedules are set up on an individual basis. No credit is given beyond the enriching experience itself," says Sister Ann Nelson, chairperson of the department. There are 18 students involved in the special education internship program. They follow a general academic course during the first two years of study, then spend the first semester of their senior year teaching, under the supervision of a cooperating teacher (it is worth 12 credits). Sister Kathryn Mary Murphy, head of the department, observes each student teacher twice a semester. Upon graduation, special education majors are certified to teach in Rhode Island. Direct reciprocity exists with the nine northeastern states. Students interested in music may learn to perform as members of semi-professional organizations. The Newport College Singers practice four hours a week as part of the members' academic schedule, and have 15 ¡ scheduled concerts. The Newport College Chamber Choir is presently being formed and is open to males and females . One credit in applied music is given per semester.

ational activity is to be held from 7 to 9 p.m. and .will be followed by refreshments at Miley. Even the dorms reflect the holiday spirit as bare halls are transformed with twinkling lights, tinsel, and garlands.

Degrees Offered In Management Students may now major in management as part of a n A.S. or B.S. program or may elect a minor in this field as a complement to studies in another discipline. Courses in the program to be offered during the Spring semester will be scheduled in evening sections. Dr. William Burrell, Dean of the College, explained that most of the initial interest in the program has come from part-time students who attend evening classes. "We anticipate that students who attend day classes will find this program attractive, and we expect to offer courses from .this department in day sections once the need has been confirmed." The materials developed by the Management Department point out that a variety of careers are available for people with m anagement skills. Those students primarily interested in other areas such as sociology, psychology, political science or nursing may find the minor in m a nagement an attractive adjunct to their degree studies. The central objective of the program is to provide each student with a .thoroughly professional program which will allow him to master those fundamental skills necessary for continued growth in a rapidly changing field.
