Players' Production Praised in Press Edwin Safford Providence Sunday Journal March 21, l!l65 As far 3 3 resemblan ~es to the model Rodgers and Hammerstein provided, the Regina Players gave a more than authentic copy. The whole possessed a polish that was a joy to observe, and, unlike the translation of Maria Trapp's book, there was nothing ersatz in their production. They did it up proud.

Well-drawn characterizations, delightful musical effects, skillful stagecraft and simple and effective settings combined to make this recreation of a wellloved play an overwhelming success with the very receptive audience.

Mary Corey starred as Maria, the uncertain little postulant in an Austrian abbey who becomes THE ORDINARY COUPLE CAST AN EXTRAORDINARY ENCHANTMENT: Mary Corey as Maria and Thomas Fennessey of Providence College as Georg von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" presented March 12 and 13 in Rogers High School Auditorium.

Georg von Trapp. She brings the joy of her and the lilt of music into the regimented lives of the children and wins first their love and then the love of their father. Miss Corey is an utterly charming Mariashe does not just sing and act the part, she lives the part. She casts an enchantment over the entire action, in keeping with the description of her in the first act song about "a moonbeam in your hand ."

The rest of the cast partook of the enchantment.

* * :::

A finely balanced characterization was that of Ann Lepkowski as the Mother Abbess, wise and understanding, with a dignity that had no stiffness.

Carol Battaglia was well cast as Elsa Schraeder, who almost becomes the children's stepmother, and .John McDonald as Max, the promoter, who frankly likes to visit the rich and live as they do. There were good scenes involving these two with the Baron.

Nice human touches wer e added by Cynthia Franco, as the mistress of novices, and Patricia DeLisle, sisters helping to decide Maria's fate, also Mary-Elinor Reardon as the mistress of postu lants.

In one of the most touching moments of the play, Maria, speaking about love to her new husband's 16-year-old daughter, tells her "a song is no song till you sing it. " If you thought you could ring any meaning from an old cliche, you'd say Miss Corey sang her heart out. To go further, what happened was that Tom Fennessey as the baron and (Continued on Page 3)

Faculty Members Attend Historic Meet

Peace Requirements Examined • Terris' In Context of 'Pacem Ill Sister Mary Eloise, R.S.M., of the Theology department, and Sister Mary Wilhelmina, R.S.M., of the History department, represented Salve Regina at a convocation of world leaders gathered last month in New York City for the "historic purpose" of examining the requirements for peace in the context of the encyclical of Pope John XXIII, "Pacem in Terris."

The convocation, held February 18, 19 and 20 was organized and supported by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, with the assistance of the Johnson Foundation of Racine, Wisconsin. Participating in the study were 70 intellectual, spiritual, and political world leaders; 2,000 people representing 20 countries were invited to hear the proceedings.

In their reports to the faculty and to the student body, Sister Mairy Eloise and Sister Mary Wilhelmina agreed that the Convocation's immediate distinction was that it did take place. "i>acem in Terris" was cho3en as an appropriate starting point because it addresses itself to all men of good will, con ~erned with "the search for peace."

Dr. Robert M. H ut chins, president of the sponsoring center, told the assembly: "The reason why the encyclical is r efreshin g is that it breaks through the cliche curtain and talks a kind of hard common sense. " Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey lauded the "gentle peasant Pope who left to men of all faiths an outline for pea ~e which can be accepted by all n:en of good will. '' He also contributed a three point proposal to the assembly. 1. Positive steps to halt rr_anufacture of nuclear weapom.

2. Balanced economic standin 5 of all coun tries, and improved social standing of the underprivileged. 3. Strengthened operations of U.N. as the machinery which will make possible the keeping of peace.

Love Is Central Theme Of Baroness' Lecture Here

By KATHLEEN DILLON The Baroness Von Trapp visited Salve Regina College February 3 to present a lecture to interested sturlents and friends of the college, at Rogers High School auditorium .

The Baroness, whose life inspired the composition of The Sound of Music, appeared at the podium in her native Austria!! dres:;. In soft-spoken tones, she then proceeded to give a charming resume of her family history and activities.

Since childhood, the Baroness had always wanted to be a nun, yet she also believed that the most

A Statement Of Policy Anne Lancelotti, Editor The extensive time lapse between the last iss ue of Ebb Tide and the rp,resent one wa ~ filled by an intensive s'e arch on the part of the editors and faculty a;dvisor for a policy which would create a newspaper of electricity rather than static. You might say Ebb Tide was looking for a reason to exist. Our reason-questioned, manipulated, and finally estahilished-is now being presented to Ebb Tide'i;;. readers.

A newspaper-if the metaphor may be stretched this far - is a parrot when its pages present mere fact after fact. It is an eagle when they offer ideas. Ebb Tide does not want to be for the birds. It wants to be one of them-the ea,gle. The staff of the college newspaper will voice the opinionsthe ideas-of the college citizens. The citizens we speak of are not only students, but administration and faculty. For it is also

our policy to be realistic ; and the reality of it all is that to present a one-sided paper is to pretend that the other side does not exist.

Pretension is the foe of those who wish to face reality.

The results we hope to obtain are fire and brimstone. The fire of thought; the brimstone of disagreement. w ,e don't expect everyone to agree with us; we do expect all to think of us. There will be opinions in Ebb Tide you will want to question. Our box number is 193. Write to us. We wil1 listen to anyone who says anything except, "You are idealistic." We don't intend to be. However, we do intend to maintain ideals. Fm¡ we do want to be made of "sterm~r stuff" than the paper on which our words are printed.

This issue is the first product of our policy. Our ideals are to communicate, and allow the communication of truth.

important thing in life was to "know the will of God and then to go and do it." Following this tenet, the deeply religious woman married the Baron von Trapp and reared a family of ten children.

Decision When Hitler invaded Austria, the von Trapp family had to choose between spiritual and material goods. After much prayerful consideration, the Baroness and her family moved, not to Switzerland as recounted in the Broadway musical, but to Israel. As refugees, the von Trapps possessed no money and no civil rights and therefore turned to singing. When this venture proved successful, the Austrian family travelled to Europe and finally embarked for America.

After learning the English language, the von Trapps toured the United States and finally realized a thousand-dollar profit upon completion of a nationwide trip. The Baroness asserted that the family often felt conspicuous in its native dress, but upon moving into Vermont's Green Mountains felt " right at home." The green forests , deep valleys and friendly people fascinated the foreign von Trapps and they subsequently settled down in their new-found utopia. Despite their lovely home, the Baroness remarked that home is not one specific point of the globe, but rather "where you are wanted when there, and missed when not there. " World War Darkness The World War disrupted the family singing group. The von Trapp boys joined the Ski Troops and during the course of the war, the Baron died. Yet, in 1950, the ( Continued on Page 6)

Enemy of the People: Isolation? voxpop,u li It is true that complainers we'll always have with us. However, to dismiss every proclaimer of distressing conditions as narrow-minded and belittling, is to ignore that problems exist, and to dwell in a slippery, shaky, glasslined Utopia. Is this what Salve i, coming to? Why haven't students been heard as intelligent criticizers other than chronic complainers? It seems that many of our suggestions have been pigeonholed, or even killed, by those in authority - both faculty and class officers.

For example, bureaucratic isolation of campus committees and clubs has produced vague answers to complaints about extra curricular activities. Should the suggestions of unhappy stay-at-homes be headed off at the pass? Couldn't curfews allow for trips out of town? Why are notices of events posted-with no transportation provided?

It seems important that Salve

heed such questions, because they are not raised for the sake of causing dissension; rather, they arise out of student interest-interest in seeing Salve expand culturally, academically, and socially, as well as physically.

vox vonsilii How much can Student Council do alone? The mere fact that the organization is called a Student Government indicates that it was established for the students, to be run by the students. Granted, there are a certain few chosen by their classmates to work as the yp~fiber of. the-.Council-to-J)l'.esent ideas, to arbitrate questions, to make decisions; but how can the fiber have any strength without a facing, a backing. There have been many things we have tried to do which could have been more successful if the majority of the student body had stood behind us.

There have been many things which we have done, though these accomplishments have apparently been ignored or misunderstood.

Aren't there more students free at 4:00 on Tuesdays? paid to unhappy-stay-at-homes. One Student Council meeting was filled with such people whose suggestions for more social life were heard and fulfilled. You ask that transportation to posted events be provided. The newly formed Fine Arts Committee has as one of its functions to send buses to such places as the Boston Museum, and the lecture series at Providence College. You ask that distinctions between classes be eliminated in dinner lines. Wouldn't allowing all classes to come to dinner at the same time cause confusion and chaos? _ The Student Council ha bee neither inactive nor deaf to youl' suggestions. If you feel it has, maybe the communication system between Council and you is becoming distorted by static, or is wasting away because of lack of interest. Perhaps if you came to the meetings, not only to plead, but to listen and express, and talk to your representatives, you would realize that Student Council is not, nor does it want to be, an isolated island.

Big City Fare ...

SISTER MARY EDWARD, O.L.P. One spring afternoon, two young English children, out with their governess, came upon a happy surprise. A quaint country landscape had been painted in gay colors on the sidewalk. "My," said their governess matter-of-factly, "let's go." One firm jump through the pavement and there they were. Impossible, you say! But not if that governess is Mary Poppins and had just come sailing down to their home on a cloud.

All sorts of things can happen when Mary Poppins arrives. It has even been reported that those who passed through Providence soon after her arrival there would have seen groups of Sisters going to the movies. And it was true. They had been invited-all expenses paid-by the manager.

"Mary Poppins" is adapted from the familiar children's stories of the same name and is recreated by Walt Disney. The photography here has perhaps surpassed all his earlier works, and this alone assures its artistic merit. But it is the two little English children that capture the day.

They are a charmingly real portrayal against other characters sometimes not

quite so credible. But then, as their father soon finds out, the world of Mary Poppins belongs to children. And because such a world, he feels, is much removed from the mere sedate and serious things of life, he dutifully decides to help them to grow up. He soon finds instead that he has grown down, and that a child's world is not so removed from the serious things of life. In fact, it is a world of love, and that is the only thing that matters.

The movie seeks its effect through placing reality and fantasy side by side. This effect is perhaps a little lessened through incidents in which the real becomes itself fantastic, as in the phenomenal bank crisis which the children provoke; yet it does achieve it. A pleasing musical score runs throughout and Julie Andrews is perfectly at home in this London setting.

"Wouldn't it be lov-er-ly!", someone else from London remarked not long ago. The enjoyment of "Mary Poppins" lies not in greatness but in gracefulness. It delights in that graceful way of taking us beyond what is merely necessary. From this point of view, "Mary Poppins" is a lovely movie and the Sisters are grateful to have seen it.

vox facultatis "Why haven't students been heard as intelligent criticizers?"

Could it be because there is more emphasis on criticizing than on "intelligent?" Frequently, student council, committee chairmen, and class officers have been assailed by caustic, vehement, and even crudely offered suggestions. There has been nothing in most of them to indicate the culture and refinement one expects from the college student. Is this intelligent?

Few mind criticism when it is constructive. No one appreciates i.t... when it is completely, and constantly, negative. Seldom is any one heard to say, "Gosh, the cafeteria is beautiful. The administration certainly went all out to make things attractive and comfortable."

But this same cafeteria was not even opened a day when there were immediately criticisms about lack of help. I had to wait!"

Several students can criticize the fact that "this isn't done" or "that isn't done," but few there

are who become committed enough to say "May I help with anything?"

"Could I give you a hand?" Students are invited to work on or meet with committee members.

What happens? One or two show up - the rest criticize. "I don't have time."

There are too many l's in evidence. If you really want to see Salve Regina grow in every way, then the I must be submerged in the many. S.R.C's growth has nothing essentially to do with curfews or committees, or clubs, or free bus rides, or anything like these.

It has everything to do with you. _The mature _fil:rson_goesn't li;!_ve to have everything changed to suit him. The mature person can live and work within the framework of the established college community and adopt himself to its demands. This is one of the ways to grow.

The above article does not necessarily reflect the thinking of the entire administration of the college. The reporter simply asked one person to give her views.

Selma Counts Hatred can never stand alone. It is bound on the left by violence, on the right by cowardice, in the back by narrow-mindedness-and now in the front by Selma, Alabama.

The heated outbursts of racial prejudice which resulted in the assassination of Reverend Reeb in Selma are a raucous verification of the low status which humanity is coming to occupy in America. Every angry word hur'led at negroes and civil rights demonstrators in Alabama asserts that 1Jhe black race is only half-human, deserving only half the rights belonging to the whites.

This "assertion" insults both races. All human beings are part of one humanity; by denying the humanity of one person - or one group of persons - we deny our own humanity.

Such an attitude, we say, is limited to the citizens of Selma. But is it? Is there something in each of us that makes us wonder if the Negro Is as good as we are? Maybe not. Maybe there are many whose Christian love is deeply rooted, deeply felt, deeply lived. But what of us who doubt. What are we professing when we doubt, but the belief that we have a monopoly on rights. And when we fall in line with that monopoly for one moment do we ever realize t!he destruction that monopoly can lead to?

Or Does It?

By Eleanor Vander Hagen Since my arrival at Salve, I have been impressed with the genuine good will which the students extend to one another in their campus activities and to others in their response to such appeals as the La Forge Interracial Council tutoring program.

It was a surprise, then, that the reaction to events in Selma was generally an apathetic one on this campus. While college students around the country voiced strong disapproval of Selma's brutality Salve students, with some effort, managed to muster mere passing com'. ments of protestation or surprise.

When a memorial meeting for the Reverend James Reeb was scheduled in Newport, students displayed a disconcerting lack of awareness of the meeting itself and of its implications for the national civil rights movement. With faculty members outnumbering students on such an occasion, one can only wonder about your concern for social justice.

Students complain about isolation in Newport. I ask, how much of it is self-imposed?

Prediction: Blistered Be,a uties

By ANNE LANCELLOTTI The Lion ambled idly into the Weather Hemisphere and sank deliberately into his iron bucket throne. His paws rested in dejected listlessness on the chair's cold granite arms. A halo of ice seemed to surround the seat and The Lion. The halo vibrated as le roi broke into a roar.

"By Zeus!"

(It was Zeus of whom he always spoke, since by enjoying the god for dinner one evening. The Lion gained his tre¡ mendous roar.) "By Zeus, Sullivan, I'm fed up with the lack of respect I'm being shown this year.

Just fed up."

Sullivan squirmed sluggishly on his heap of plush beach sand.

"Not too fed up, I hope, boss.

You remember last year when you got indigestion after . . . " "Cut that out, Sullivan!" The Lion climbed out of his bucket seat, roaring and stalking around his glacial throne. "That's exactly the attitude I'm speaking about.

Contempt, pure contempt."

"Me, boss?" and Sullivan turned the station of his transistor radio to WPRO. "Yeah, you, and everybody else on this Island. This Island that we got stuck immobilizing this March."

"Trying to immobilize, wouldn't you say, boss?"

"That's what I would say, Sullivan. And by Mercury," (it was odd that he should have spoken of Mercury whom he had eaten to obtain speed, for the god merely gave him heartburn) "would you take those foolish sun-glasses off."

"But, boss, these are the kind A:udtey-Irepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's!"

"Who the devil," (at this point he had to sit down, for he had tried eating Beelzebub and failed) "is Audrey Hep ... " He stopped suddenly; an enlightened quizzical look shriveled his face and mane.

"Say, Sullivan, is she one of those ointment girls I saw lying on the wet sand I spent all night dewing last week?"

"Ointment girls?!"

Sullivan peeked over his sunglasses.

"Yeah, I heard one of them say that the salve girls were going to¡ have great suntans this spring."

Sullivan broke into a yowl.

"Boss, that's Salve-Salve Regina-a college."

"A college!" The boss sank down into the bucket throne. "You mean I have to freeze a group of college kids off the beaches. Horrors, I knew they were displeased with me in the main control room-but this."

Sullivan ran a handful of beach sand through his hair. "Aw, cheer up, boss. Being a failure isn't all that bad. So these kids don't pay any attention to your wind, and dew, and frost. So they do look like a bunch of healthy Tahitians.

What can you do? There's very little that can combat the adventurous pioneer spirit, boss. Boss?"

The Lion didn't answer. He was staring at the nearby ball of sun around which he had built an asbestos wall to subdue any stray rays. He finally spoke, his voice soft and deliberate as though he were learning words for the first time.

"Sullivan, I have it. I'll burn them off the beaches!!"

"Burn them off?"

"Sure. I'll set the sun dialer on super-scorcher every day until June. It'll be so hot they'll have to run into the nearest building to stay alive. The beaches will be empty. The faces will be pale. I'll be a success. Why, Sullivan, I (Continued on Page 6)

On the Agenda

Dan.le Talk Scheduled

Miley Hall Dedication Date Set Completed in February, as the first step in the long-range development program of the college, Miley Hall will be formally blessed and dedicated Friday, April 30, by His Excellency, Russel J . McVinney, Bishop of Providence.

Those present will include in-

vited guests, representing the organizations and classes of the Co1lege - the Alumnae, the Guild, the Fathers Council, Student Government, and the four classes and benefactors, friends, and parents. They will be welcomed by Sister Mary Emily, R.S.M., Presi-

dent. His Excellency will deliver the major address, and Sister Mary Hilda, R.S.M., will resp,ond.

Miley Ha'll is the first step toward helping Salve Regina expand its facilities to meet the growing need of more students and to meet the new challenges of the second half of the twentieth century.

To commemorate the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth, Professor Nicolae lbescu of Harvard University will present a lecture entitled, Dante, Poet and Protagon ist of the Div ine Comedy, April 7 at 7 in Great Hall.

Born in Romania in 1919, Professor Ibescu attended the University of Bucharest and later served in the Romanian Army in the war against Russia from 19411944. He then studied at the University of Padua where he obtained his Doctor's degree in Italian literature in 1947.

Following Post Doctoral Studies at the University of Padua, the professor came to the United States in 1952. From 1953-1955 he worked on an assembly line of unqualified workers at Ford Motor Co. in Cleveland. In January, 1958, he became an instructor of Italian at Harvard following two years of Doctoral Studies there. At present, Professor Ibescu is an Associate Professor of Italian at Harvard.

Professor Ibescu is the recipient of two fellowships, a UNESCO, which enabled him to study in Florence, Dante's birthplace, and a Guggenheim, awarded in 1961, to do research on the relation between Petrach's lyric and Saint Augustine.

,, ''The Sound of Music

Restrained, strong, Conductor Joseph Conte produces his "curtain of beautiful sound."

The chorus of nuns sustained the note of joy.

(Continued from Page One) the seven children-some of them played by the college girls and others by bona fide children-truly became for the audience the man Maria loved and his children.

Tom Fennessey's Baron was properly stiff and formal, and, once melted by Maria's innocence and charm, just as properly tender.

* * *

" . . . uniformly excellent . . ." Patricia Bowes, Gretl; Thomas Bowes, Kurt; Mary Ellen Martin, Brigitta, Peter Bowes, Friedrich; Mary Lou Hoffman, Marta; Mary Lou Gualtieri, Louisa; Sandy Harkins, Leist.

Joseph Conte led the orchestra with restraint and strength so that the music was integral to the acting. James Baker's set was simple yet elegant, complementing those same qualities .in the performan ~e. The chorus of nuns in their framed arch setting, set the tone from the opening note-a note of joy sustained throughout.

Typical of Teenagers Sandy Harkin's Leis! and Kevin Fennessey's Rolf were so typical of teenagers playing grownup they might have just walked in off Main Street, and their charming Sixteen Going on Seventeen was nicely choreographed by Sharon Fennessey. Gordon Sweeney handled the lighting so well Rogers didn't seem anymore like a high school auditorium than did the musical playing there seem like an amateur production.

The Sound of Music, as produced by the Regina Players of Salve Regina College, was a strictly professional piece of work. As the Trapp family gathered at the foot of the mountain to set off on their escape route to Switzerland, their eyes and voices raised in song, the hearts of their audience went with them.

"I Am Sixteen Going on Seventeen!" Sandy Harkins as Leist; Kevin Fennessey, Rolf.

Tholllas Stearns Eliot: 1889-1965

By Sister Mary Jean, R.S.M. Few of us knew Eliot the man but many of us know and will continue to know E'l iot the poet for he is the sum total of his wo,r ks. Certainly no one will deny that Eliot is and will continue to be a presence and a dynamic force within our culture and within the Western tradition. A poet is a maker and in the making of his poetry lives the poet himself. The personality EHot created through his poetry is ours to become acquainted with, to investigate, and to deciiphe,r. For Eliot the poet is immo,r tal; he is a culture in himself; he is a presence ever with us and yet in his passing we cannot but feel that with the exception of his friend Ezra Pound the last of the great personalities within the poetk scene of the first half of the twentieth century has left us.

In the literary history of our era most certainly Thomas Stearns Eliot will be termed as our religious poet, as the Christian poet within a tradition that is notably unchristian and even neo-pagan. This tendency toward a spiritual evaluation of the human condition may be dis,c overed even in those early poems which formerly were considered to be indicative not so much as the first faint stirrings of spiritual affirmation as the first evidences of an intellectual esthetic. Horwever, in retrospect we can see even in the Harvard undergraduate a poet who is forming his personality "on the doorstep of the Absolute." In the famous and powerful "Prufro.ck" it is no accident that the six lines from Dante's Inferno serve as the epigraph.

Prufrock the man with a vision, with another perspective, the Lazarus come back who notwithstanding his thousand "indecisions and revisions" is but the first in a long line of such characters who are concerned with redemption, expiation and renewal. One might say Eliot's master metaphor sterility, frustration, isolation symbolic of the intellectual and spiritual life of our times has inherent within it the quest for the Abso-

lute. True "The Waste Land" stops just short of fulfillment.

"The Hollow Men" are hollow - '"sha,pe without form, shade without color; paralyzed force, gesture without motion." Yet, even here in the paralysis and the shape1lessness there is the desire to be born again. It is in "Ash Wednesday" (1930) that he explicity reaches that affirmation toward which he has been working implicity from the days of the Harvard Advocate.

"Pray to God to have Mercy upon us" - redemption, expiation, renewal, surrender!

From this point forward Eliot is the poet of that spiritual renewal. The Four Quartets (1943) amplify, enlarge upon, with brilliant and dramatic impaiet the s,piritual doctrine of Saint John of the Cross and the incisive vision of The Divine Comedy. Eliot not only as a poet but as a dramatist in both the historic enactment of Murder In the Cathedral and in the modern encounter portrayed from the Family Reunion (1939) through The Elder Statesman (1958) is concerned with the man of vision who comes to redeem, to expiate and to renew.

Eliot is saying this alienated man can through the way of perception and illumination increase his awareness of the world of reality. Once man has found the world of reality he is able to give himself to it and to achieve union with his real self, -with other men and finally with the Source of all reality.

This, in brief, is the personality Eliot created through his poetry. This art selected, disciplined, revised and attained through the years is the legacy of Eliot the poet to us. We mourn the passing of Eliot the man ; we revere his m emory; we cherish the years he spent with us. However, we celebrate Eliot the poet; we rejoice in the consummation of his art; we read the words he has written and with Shakespeare we say Mr. Eliot, "these lines give life to thee."

Fountainhead Revisited

By ANNE LANCELLOTTI "Every major horror of history was committed in the name of an altruistic motive. Has any act of selfishness ever equaled the carnage perpetrated by disciples of altruism?" With these words, Howard Roark, architect hero of The Fountainhead, elaborates upon his role in life-to dedicate himself to glorifying his talent; and to ignore the pitiful society which grasps its inhabitants, flings them into the arms of others, and commands them to "give."

Describing details with acute perception and deft artistic manipulation of words, Miss Rantl, auth or of 'l'he "Fountainhead and creator of Howard Roark, achieves, in her novel, realism of presentation, but fails to capture a realism of content. Her buildings live in shimmering stone, the actions of her characters move with discernable dexterity; yet, the spirits of the characters are void of life. Her heroes indulge hi the delusion that they have acquired the meaning of living-to exist completely for themselves, to give nothing, to receive nothing, to work only to glorify their own existence. Gliding through a world filled with ignorant fools, the heroes laugh at society's preaching that altruismthe complete sacrificing of oneself to others, the complete rejecting of an ego-is the only means to happiness.

Now, here, says Miss Rand, is the society in which we live. A society which-by preaching altruism-loses itself in others, becomes collective, lost, and dead. We, the masses, live this way her sinister, power-hungry pseudo-altruist says of us: "Haven't you been able to catch their theme song? Give up, give up, give up."

We, the masses, repeats Miss Rand, have been duped by leading minds for centuries; and only men like Howard Roark can save us from being infested with the fatal plague of collectivism which self-sacrifice breeds.

This is Miss Rand's concept of reality today-the existence of ihe man who sacrifices all merely because he has been told that he mustthat altruism is his only means to happiness.

Who is duping whom, Miss Rand?

Our civilization does not define altruism as the g1vmg up of ourselves for others. Altruism-true self-sacrifice-is developing ourselves completely, finding ourselves undauntingly, fulfilling ourselves intrepidly.

We fulfill ourselves by emanating the good we have developed through soul-searching meditation, the best self we have allowed to emerge after much pursuing and suffering. We don't become individuals by hoarding our identification, as Miss Rand believes; nor by rejecting our ego to the masses, as she says we believe. If Ayn Rand wishes to fight us in The Fountainhead, then it would do her well to show us as we really are-not as she fancies us to be. Yes, we may be fawning and unauthentic, and collective. But if altruism is the reason, why did not President Kennedy allow Krushchev's missiles to remain in Cuba-they were for the good of the Russian people; why did not the American Government hail the atrocities of Adolph Hitler-they advanced the German race. Because, President Kennedy and the American Government did not confuse altruism with an insipid, creeping desire for power and destruction of basic rights. Unfortunately, Ayn Rand does. In The Fountainhead, she uses the latter as the qualities of the altruistic members of society. She thinks she has her Howard Roark heroically fighting these altruists with the potent weapon of virtuous selfishness; but a::tually, Roark is fighting selfishness. For Ayn Rand's altruists are selfish egotists attempting to impress the world with their purchased goodness, and to impose their will on the weak.

Though Miss Rand may not have realized it, her altruists are vastly similar to Howard. They devote themselves to "helping others" merely because they thirst for society's approval; and in so doing, they help without really caring or knowing how, without really giving of themselves (they have no selves). They work for others to glorify themselves. They are-in a cowardly sympathetic way-selfish. Howard devotes himself to designing buildings for the sake of molding into beauty crude stone and weak lime. He wishes to glorify himself through his genius. The ones he loves must forsake all and follow him. Howard is a selfish human god-and those three words do not belong together.

Therefore in his selfishness, Howard Roark shares with the very people he sco;ns so coolly and nefariously in The Fountainhead. Miss Rand has led Howard astray by allowing him to view weakness and collectivism as products of self-sacrifice. She has developed him into a person completely engulfed in his own values, his own desires, his own pursuits; a person who she believes is an individual, a mocker_Y of the spirit of collectivism, an advocate of the free, the brave, the nght, and the good.

Yes, Howard is an individual, but his mockery extends to the free, the brave, the right, and the good . Roark is ex~c~ly the kind uf individualist wh o t hreatens the development of the ind1v1dual.

All the World Is a Stage ... and we are the players we think we know the script by heart for Christianity has been one long drawn-out rehearsal "let's have an end to all these 'dry runs' " we moan "on with the show" so we move stage center but out there in the middle of things we're blinded by the glaring spotlight we worry about our stage presence our make-up pose audience reaction it shrivles us and we inevitably muff our lines we step aside in shame as the curtain falls cosmetics and costume did not sell our part and now with the play all over the director comes back stage and asks "why didn't you know your lines and movement" and we shamefacedly admit we got distracted the glamorous lights sophisticated audience our sham ham we never expected that the performance would be like that we missed our cue "but" we plead "so have many other actors" "that is so" the Director replies "but don't you know we all individually have our entrances and exits.

You Too Can Become An Apostle 1

"Priests and lay people," Father Donald Hessler, a Maryknoll missionary, said in an interview, "equally share the burden ( and the privilege) of being apostolic, and if the laity are not ready, then we have to make them ready." Fortunately, the laity today are awakening more and more to their obligations to be witnesses and to bring Christ's Word to those who are still without it. This is the challenge Christianity presents to each one of us now.

To help us answer this challenge, Father Henry Shelton, the diocesan director of the lay apostolate in Providence, has set up a number of summer programs for interested college students. Anyone can apply for the eight or four week pro· grams in areas of the South, West, or here in Providence. The volunteers receive no salary but room and board are provided, and Father hopes to interest various parishes, parish organizations, and individual people so that he may pro· vide transportation costs for the apostles. In other words, any volunteer should be free from any expense whatsoever.

What sort of work would summer volunteers be expected to do?

Probably most will be teaching and doing catechetical work, or some aspect of social work or nursing.

If anyone is interested, she may contact Father Shelton in his 9arish in Lincoln, or may speak to Mary Walsh for ideas on the practical aspects of her experiences last summer as a Lay Apostle in New Mexico. For applications or further information one may con· tact either Eileen Mccusker or Sue Riordan at Miley Hall.

D. Brouillard Semi-Finalist The "Glamour" on Salve Regina's campus is not found only in the magazine. Diane Brouillard, Salve's entry for Glamour's Ten Best-Dressed College Girls contest, was recently notified of her selection among 35 semi-finalists.

Three pictures of Diane, one in a casual campus outfit, another in a day-time off campus outfit, and the third, an ensemble for formal wear, comprised the entrance requirements. A group of Glamour editors formed the panel of national judges. From the semi-finalists, the ten winners, and up to twenty honorable mention winners will be chosen. The "Top Ten" will be photographed in the spring for the annual August College issue of Glamour and will be flown to New York in June via American Airlines as the guests of the magazine. Honorable mention win!l.ers will be featured in a fall issue.

THAT SEASON!

By FRIAR RONE From the small New England college From her hallowed halls of knowledge, From her hard courts 'lest we digress, Fathers, students, shouted, "Su-:cess!"

During winter months so bleak December - March, a lengthy trek, The P. C. Friars ruled the east Basketball planned the feast.

The winter long fed her guests With the strains of ripe success, Stopping but once for her brief rest Nationwide became her quest.

March passed quickly, spring was near, Basketball had found its peer, The hand of Providence was aptly blessed Across the land she cried, "Success!"

El Circulo Espanol's Interpretive Dance was a credit to the enterprising Spanish Club.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of interpretative dance on campus.

Next year's productions will be longer, more frequent, and better attended.

The Fall River area club of Salve Regina presented a check for $50 to Sister Marie Therese, librarian, for the purchase of books for the college library.

Dr. Bowes Lectures Women "Women should have an opportunity for education about sex and human reproduction in the context ,of education for family responsibility." This statement appears in the President's Report on the Status of American Women released to the public in 1963. The report asserted that "women's colleges have given remarkably little serious thought to the better preparation of their students for the homemaking most of them will do."

In response to this need, Sister Mary Emily, president, has invited Dr. James Bowes to present a series of lectures required of all freshmen entitled, "The Psychology of Christian Womanhood."

A recognized authority in his field, Dr. Bowes will relate the medical, social and religious aspects of sex to the status of the Christian woman in today's society. It is his main purpose to impress upon college girls the importance of sex education applied both to their present state in life and their future role. In regard to the present, Dr. Bowes will discuss dating habits and make reference to particular instances showing evidence of need of sexual education among college students.

Aspects of motherhood will be discussed in light of the importance of providing children with proper sex instruction.

Not only will he present the medical aspect of sex education, but also the Church's views on matters pertaining to sex. Students will have the opportunity to discuss any misconceptions they may have on the subject or ask any questions which may arise during the lectures.

Evidence of the worth of Dr.

Bowes' series can be seen in the comments made by freshmen on their impressions of his introductory lecture: Susan Schiffer stated, "Dr. Bowes' series, as evident in his first lecture, will afford the freshman clasp. an opportunity to become informed in a mature, Christian manner of the vital problems concerning the role of sex in our lives." Joanne Geissenhainer remarked that Dr. Bowes' lectures are "very practical" in that they can be "applied to the role of motherhood." Mona Spillane said, "I think he has a great deal to offer. His series of lectures will be very beneficial to us." Donna Roberto stated "the entire lecture was on a mature level"; Dr. Bowes was "down to earth and seemed to have a complete understanding of Carol Saganis girls our age." summed up the sentiment of the freshman class: "We are most fortunate in having Dr. Bowes here at Salve."

Something there is and we know not what, About a red, brick building on a little ole lot.

There's a character there, quite undefinable.

Perhaps it's the coffee that's so inclinable.

The cozy red booths, and soft warm glow Lend a spirit of contrast to the cold and the low.

And the rhythm of music after a day of classes Makes the body feel gay while the brain collapses.

The food is delicious, the service is great, The orders go fast for there's not long to wait.

Three people we see there most of the time Who are warm and appealing, patient and kind.

Nothing is more discussed or argued on campus, in the Haven and in midnight chats in the dorms than the various aspects of religion and Christian life. The Discussion Club, a division of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, hopes to provide an informal gathering for talking over contemporary problems concerning present and future endeavors. Meetings will be held monthly with prominent guest speakers invited, who will be able to offer some thoughtful comments. We invite YOU; all topics you wish to present for discussion are welcomed.

We no longer will have this little red building, Nor the cozy red booths, and the juke box a playing.

We no longer will see, these faces so dear That made our day gla:d and filled it with cheer.

Something there is and we DO know what It's the loss of our friends and that little ole hut.

But have no fears for the memories will reign Over you our dear friends, the Crowleys and Kanes.

Sophomore French majors anxiously await final word on a pro· posed Junior Year in France. Mercy College's extension program in France will enable them to pursue a concentrated study of the French language, literature, and civiliza. tion at the University of Angers, the Universite Catholique de l'Ouest. The University has its own center of French studies for foreigners, as well as its reputed Faculties of Theology, Law, Let· ters, and Sciences. This University, founded in 1221, has kept pace with modern developments in technology and with the particular needs of the locale.

Angers is a city of 120,000 inhabitants and is only three hours from Paris. Located in the Loire Valley, the "Garden of France," it offers the advantages of a provincial capital city and a charming way of life. Slow flowing rivers famous vintages, flowering gardens, and chateaux of white stone dot the countryside.

Approximately $2,400 will cover a month orientation, a year's tuition, room and board, and travel.

Bon Voyage!

Faces Along the Walk

Mme. George Ramos "Life does not have to be boring."

With thes,e words, Mrs. Ramos, longtime professo,r of French at Salve Regina, summed up a philosophy that has made her an interesting and interested person to study under.

Madame Ramos earned her BA and MA at the University of California, and then continued on to the Sorbonne in Paris to begin work on her doctorate. After studying for one year, she married a young doctor and began to raise a family. Now that her family is grown, she has returned to teaching here at Salve.

Discussing life here on campus, Madame Ramos strongly urged that students devote more time to opportunities for S?eilf-development, such as lectures here and in neighboring communities. As young women attending college, she said, we should begin forming "habitpatterns" that will remain with us after we leave, habits of taking advantage of each day and not just existing from day to day.

As moderator of the Alliance Francaise, Madame Ramos spends much time with students outside of class, in an attempt to foster a greater proficiency in the romance languages, especially French and Spanish. Madame stressed that languages learned in school should

become a part of us : we should be accustomed to speaking fluently and reading easily, and this ability should remain with us even after we graduate.

Given Madame Ramos' interest and support, meetings become social occasions, a chance to prac· tice not only a new language, but also social graces, and an opportunity to enjoy pleasant conversation in a comfortable atmosphere.

Songs, lectures, movies, excursions, coffee, cake, and conversation all s·e rve to stimulate French majors and minors, and those interested in France.

She has a talent for making poetry come alive, and novels and essays meaningful; a seemingly first-hand knowledge of writers, of their styles and intentions make her lectures memorable and interesting.

Strongly interested in Salve Regina, Madame Ramos has contributed greatly to the development of the French department and of the whole college. Her gracious manner and gently dynamic personality stand as an example, to all who know her, of a woman determined to make life interesting for herse.lf and for all around her.

She does indeed live a philosophy of life that proves, "Life does not have to be boring."

Clim;;atic Change Possible

Wanted: Volunteers To Work In States The leader of a force of 340 lay volunteers recruited for work in the United States called here for volunteers to work in migrant camps and with the underprivileged Latin American population in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado.

Father John J. Sullivan, Extension Society Volunteers national director, said the three-year-old volunteer movement hopes in the coming year to fill at least 175 positions in 73 missions where there are Latin Americans-"often living in great poverty and receiving little religious training."

This is an addition of 95 positions in 44 missions over this year's volunteer efforts with Latin Americans. The volunteers presently work as teachers, nurses, Christian community workers, Newman Center coordinators, social workers in 13 states and Puerto Rico. They are also planning to move into Appalachia next year, Father Sullivan announced recently.

"People are becoming aware of the great possibilities for volunteers working in the United States in order to develop a genuine Christian community as well as improve physical conditions, but if the expected increase in volunteers does not materialize, we will have to discard some of the plans to help in these extremely needy areas," he added.

"When I write people in the Midwest and the East about how desolate my parish is and what the condition of the Catholic Church is here, they simply do not believe that such a place exists in the United States," according to Father James Duddy, a mission pastor from Ireland working in the Spur, Texas, area, in a parish covering 2,000 square miles.

The volunteers will work primarily a~ Christi:111 community wcrk-

ers, doing social work, teaching catechetics, tutoring and giving pre-school instructions, promoting the liturgy, Father Sullivan pointed out.

Besides calling for Christian community workers, he also called for nurses to work in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, as well as teachers for areas where teaching is a special problem because of the poverty of the area or where qualified personnel are not available.

"The structure of the normal parish is based on a territorial measure and since the migrants move from one area to the next, it is very difficult for the Church to work with them on any meaningful, personal level," Father Sullivan said in planning the volunteer program for the coming year.

The thousands of Latin Americans in the United States are almost exclusively Catholic, but they are being quickly lost to the Church, because the Church has shown too little interest in them both physically and spiritually, and they are receiving insufficient training in their faith, he added.

The volunteers, sponsored by the Catholic Church Extension Society, under the direction of Albert Cardinal Meyer of Chicago, serve for a period of one year (renewable). They are lay people, 21 to 45 years of age, who take no vows, are members of no secular institute, follow no prescribed rule or set of spiritual exercises.

They live in private quarters comparable to local standards, accept $50 a month for personal extransportation, penses, receive room, board and hospitalization insurance.

Father Sullivan said that anyone interested should write to him at 1307 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 30605.

Requirements Examined (Continued from Page 1) success of the Convocation. He proposed a week long conference of the heads of all the 115 sovereign states within and outside the U.N. to consider in an ecumenical spirit the problems of the human nation. "As we look out on the human condition, our consciences cannot be clean. If they are clean, then it is because we do not use t hem enough." He suggested, for the proposed conference, this seven point agenda: 1. The danger and hope raised by technologi~s. 2. The doubling of world population within the next three decades. 3. The problem of 1112 billion people who suffer from malnutrition. 4. Illiteracy among 700 million adults today, and a similar number at low level of literacy. 5. A blue-print of a Great Society in international terms. 6. The fabric of our planet-its soil, water, minerals and air face depletion or pollution or both.

7. Long-term planning needed for international organizations.

Disarmament is a vain discussion unless we devise instruments of se· curity beyond the national deterreri ts of sovereign states.

Dr. Adam Schaff of the Polish Communist Party said he did not agree with the principles of "Pacem in Terris," but that he did agree with the conclusions.

Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) said, "The underlying assumption of the whole encyclical "Pacem in Terris" is that mankind forms a single human family, that it must express this relationship in mutual love and solidarity, and that its urgent need is to institutionalize the forces of reason and compassion instead of only the drives of greed and war."

Dr. Paul Tillich, one of the world's most noted Protestant theologians, stressed the need for "communal eros," a spreading of love among men. No power in today's world can claim the idea of a just war. We should resist those

who violate the human dignity.

Senator Claiborne Pell spoke at the concluding Panel Discussion urging concern for areas now ap· parently quiet, but in reality serious situations. The problem in Germany is one he cited.

Honorary Chairman of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, Paul G. Hoffman, noted that the issues raised in the encyclical are important to people of every nation and creed. Pope John clearly indicates our personal responsibility to combat bigotry, prejudice, ignorance, and poverty.

Bp. Sheen Speaks At P. C. Lecture Before an overcapacity crowd i,1 Alumni Hall, Providence College, February 24, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen unfolded the drama of the last Vatican Council as he saw it, painting a striking picture of the Church in the present day.

The Bishop, while frankly admitting tensions among the clergymen attending, said that the press exaggerated these tensions in order to write an interesting story. He cited as an example the conflict on religious freedom in which 1400 bishops were reported to have signed a petition protesting the postponement of discussion on freedom, while only 414 actually signed.

Bishop Sheen is the director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He presented a project he is working to have ratified, by which every wealthy parish in the country would automatically donate a small percent of its income to the missions. The audience lent its support to this proposition with strong applause that testified to its appreciation of the need for aid to mission countries.

BARONESS VON TRAPP

Baroness (Continued from Page 1) depression after being ravaged l:y war. To aid her people, the Baroness began each concert with a plea to the audience to leave food , clothing or other necessities in a bus provided outside the concert hall. As a result of this endeavor, 270,000 pounds of goods were distributed to the poor of Austria by the von Trapp family.

Baroness von Trarp commented that God always looked over the activities of her family . She meditated that "doing the will of God is like walking in a dark tunnel: but there are blinding flashes of light." In this spirit of faith, the Baroness started another tour in Australia. From there she travelled to the Fiji Islands where a meeting with Bishop Foley changed the course of the von Trapp family .

Bishop Foley reported to the Baroness that the South Pacific Islands were being infiltrated with Communist agents. These Communists, excellent m1ss1onaries, preached against the white people and were slowly converting one· fifth of the world to their doc · trines.

Hearing these sad reports, the Baroness remained in the South Sea lslands for a year of travelling to meet various missionaries and also initiated a training center for the missions. Three of the von Trapp children originally volunteered for this project, and a daughter, Maria, is still working in the Islands. The Baroness continues to support these missiom by sending her lecture fees to Maria and Father Vasner, hoping in this way to help curb the spread of Communism.

Baroness von Trapp terminated her delightful talk with a plea to her audience to practiee love. She commented that the love of Christ "has gone completely from public life and a good deal of it has disappeared from private life." Yet, the true value in life is to follow the advice found in one of the last lvrics written by Oscar Hammerstein: "A bell is no bell till yo:i ring it, a song is no song till yo1 1 sing it. Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love till you give it away."

An informal reception and tea at Ochre Court followed the lecture by the Baroness.

By Sister Mary Harold, R.S.M. What would your reaction be if you should hear of someone in your class who had decided to enter a religious community? Would you perhaps begin to muse about the "disappointments in love" to which the poor girl must have been subject? Surprise might be accompanied by the escape of ". . . but, she has always seemed so normal." Another "sacrificial lamb" for the apostolate would be a "consoling thought" to those who want to be pious aibout it. How few would exult, congratulate, and genuinely rejoice with the fortunate one!

The hustle and bustle of classes and the extra-curricula of collegiate life can create a din so distrading that serious thoughts albout the possibilities of a religious vocation are "postponed" to the extreme which is almost a decision in itself. (Not a rejection, mind you, just non-consideration!)

Combine the pressure of busy-ness with the peculiar attitudes of the peer group and the problem becomes even more acute.

It was to combat the latter situation especially that the Bible Vigil was planned for March seventh. The misconceptions of so many nip many a budding vocation and also cornstitute an obstacle to cooperative relationships between religious and laity so essential to ecumenical endeavors.

Of course there is always the individual who has no need for any information a;bout "the convent." "I knew a Sister once ... " is the standard introduction for her views on this topic. It is sad when you can't see a fo,r e,s t because a tree is in the way! This age of aggiornamento is one of optimism though and so this writer is hopeful that the future will bring a better understanding of religious vocations and that the better "climate" will enable those whom God desires to accept more readily the challenges of a partnership with Christ which embraces the world, the unique joy and love which is a religious life.

Oh.ristilanity-Active or Passive?

If someone were to ask you, "Just what is a Christian?" what would you say? A follower of Christ - a Christ beareir?

The Sodality has been contemplating this question and its answer in relation to the Christian committment which is part of your life and mine -to bring Christ back into the world, a committment to God, to one's neighbor, and to oneself.

Christianity is not a retreat from reality nor is it a .sugary path. It is more than a series of pietistic motions;. more than a code of ethics. Christianity is a way of life· it is vitality - life itself. It does involve sacrifice but th;ough God's grace all things are possible. Through Christianity one is translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of life.

"No man is an island entire in itself." A well informed Christian never leads his Christian life alone when he finds around him souls animated by the same ideal and capable of sharing his thoughts. Thus thTough this Mystical Body of Christianity a body is formed not only between the Christian and the Christian but the Christian and the non-Christian, for how can you be Christian to one without acting thusly to the other?

What would you have said?
