SALVE REGINA COLLEGE / NEWPORT, R. I.
October 1975
Kubitschek, Sweeney And Cook Are Affiong The Many New Faces During Fall Setnester by Patrice D eVeau Miss Terri Kupitschek, who received her BA and Master's degrees within four years, Mr. Charles Cook, a former FBI agent, a nd Mr. Wayne Sweeney, the recently appointed Director of Student Activities, are among the new and exciting members of the college community here. Having completed requirements for her Master's degree at Ohio State University in one year, Miss Kubitschek has 1 returned here this year as a faculty member. M i s s Kubitschek graduated from here in 1974, having earned her BA degree in three years. Her major was En~lish and minor, Theatre. She. felt that Journalism was a most practical field and therefore decided to do her graduate work in that area. Ohio State has the largest enrollment of any university in this country, approximately 60,000 students. This is such a great contrast to Salve that at first, Miss Kubitschek was somewhat bewildered. However, the school of journalism is not a very la rge program and so she found her world was narrowed and made adjustments without difficulty.
'

Most of her courses dealt with newswriting; others focused on the theoretical side of journalism. She feels the best and most stimulating e x p e r i e n c e that she gained was working as a reporter on the Ohio State paper, The Lantern, for the summer quarter. She covered a woman's beil.t and was responsible for two articles a week. About this course, Miss Kubitschek stated, "Working on this beat, I met some fascinating people, some intelligent and dynamic women, so that my consciousness was raised to the problems which confront women today and the ways in which they' overcome them." Miss Kubitschek's contract here is for this semester. She is presently teaching two English composition classes and one section of the Freshman Core. She greatly appreciates the opportunity of being able to teach and her classes are providing more than experience for herself. She feels that English composition is a review of the critical evaluation of writing and the core offers a chance to get back into the swing of reading and relating ideas and philosophies. Charles Cook Retiring after 25 years in the FBI, Mr. Charles Cook has joined the SRC faculty this semester and has been appointed the chairman of the Department of Criminal Justice. Mr. Cook entered the FBI in 1950. During these past years he has been stationed in Seattle, Washington, New York City, and Washington, D. C. His job focused mainly on criminal work, but he was also involved with domestic and security relations and espionage. The majority of Mr. Cook's earliest years with the FBI were spent on the street. In comparison to today, he feels there was less chance then that people would act adverse to agents, for the
Charles Cook FBI is held in less awe today by the general public. Working in Washington, D. C., headquarters for his last six years, Mr. Cook served as Principal Legal Counsel. He advised agents a nd also did some lega l teaching. When asked if his years wfth the outfit were exciting, he replied, "It was exciting at times, but like a doctor, you get a little immune." He believes an agent must be dedicated in order to endure the 1ong, hard hours. Domestic Security In regard to the investigations presently b e i n g conducted in Washington, Mr. Cook admits that the FBI has committed illegal acts, such as burglary with the goal of obtaining someone's financial or membership records. He does not claim that this is correct, but he believes it is justified and necessary for domestic security over which the FBI is responsible. In addition to · his responsibilities as chairman of the Department of Criminal Jus tice, Mr. Cook is presently teaching three courses here: comma nd school, evidence, and criminal procedure.
Wayne Swooney Mr. Wayne Sweeney became a member of the administration staff here this past July, w hen he was employed as the Director of Student Activities. He possesses an intense interest in guiding a nd working with people. Since 1964, he has been teaching a nd advising students at va rious schools in this area, such as Mumford, Sullivan, Thompson, a nd the Newport County Regional Center for Retarded Children. He was also employed by the Newport School Department in the spring of 1964, as a group lea der. in 19'13, he received his Master's degree in Counselor Education from Rhode Island College. There are more than thirty orga nizations classified as student ·activities here, over w hich Mr. Sweeney is director. Students submit requests pertaining to a'ctivities to him a nd he cooperatively works with them to achieve the desired end. In the short time that Mr. Sweeney has been employed here, he has accomplished a great deal. He developed a policy for student financial accountability. T h i s policy was adopted to provide a mechanism through which student financial control can be exerted over allocated funds. Both Mr. Sweeney a nd each orga nization are required to keep accurate accounting of the money allotted to each activity by the school. Mr. Sweeney revised t he policy for reserving SRC facilities. Anyone seeking the use of a facility must submit a n application to him at least 24 hours in advance. If it is not a lready engaged at tha t time, he validates the request form if possible. Orientatlon Day Student a c t i v i t y orientation day was organized by Mr. Sweeney and held on September 5th for new students. The purpose was to familiarize these students with the activities a vailable here
and enable them to join them. Each organization had a t a ble at which the representatives distributed their litera ture. It was extremely successful a nd Mr. Sweeney will open the activities day to all members of the college community next yea r. Mr. Sweeney has a lso conducted a personal growth workshop with the RA's , coordinated student congress workshops, instituted the development of an intramural ' sports club, and worked with students to compile a student activity directory, an activity calendar, and to develop film and lecture series. Although Mr. Sweeney finds himself frustrated a t times with the great amount of paper work his position entails, he realize~ it is a necessary step before he can do what he enjoys most - \\·orking with people. He is very ~at i s fied with his job here, and has found it 'to be "a real challenge. a whole new experience" which is broaden ing his horizons. Miss Kubitschek, Mr. Cook, and Mr. Sweeney all share a sincere interest in the stud ents here and are eager to aid them in a ny possible way.

Buckley Amendment Rights Not For Everyone by Martha Wolf I cannot say what prompted me to suddenly wish to see my records. 'I'he Buckley Amendment had given students the right to see their files some time ago, yet somehow I was not moved until now to act. It· can perhaps 15e attributed to the mounting suspicion of all files everywhere by nearly everyo:rre, stemming from the almost daily exposes of the unscrupulous activities of government agencies. In lieu of the FBI or CIA, therefore, I decided to vent my frustrations on SRC. One day when I felt particularly hostile against the system, I determined to see jJ;t what those records had
t•t
on me. I was prepared to defend to the death my right to see them, and, once they were within my grasp, to 1iy entirely off tlle handle at the first hint of a derogatory remark. At the very least, I felt sure that I would be able to detect several gaps in my records, from which all the more juicy bits of information had been carefully extracted in the fear that I might do just this. I looked forward to an opportunity to be loud, abusive, morally outraged, a Bella Abzug without the hat. But it simply wasn't meant to be. Dean Megley's reaction to my request was a vast disappointment. I sensed none of the para-
noia that the administrators of larger colleges and universities are reputed to fee l where the recent legislation is concerned. At the very least, I felt, she could have peered at m e suspiciously, she could have tried to dissuade me from exerci~ing my right to know. But she instead merely h a nded the records over, proba bly puzzled that I should be so desperate for reading material as to come to her. In a tone far from one conducive to moral indignation , she explained that it was the college's policy to remove potentially damaging remarks in any case, and that instead her problem lies in
obtaining information for the records that would be beneficial t o the student, such as the details of the extra-curricular ac tivities one lS involved in. There are many high school teachers and college professors, however, who are hesitant to write student recommendations because of the law. I thumbed through my file, finding it utterly dull. A few former teachers had offered the information tha t I was a "nice girl", and the like, which somehow just wasn't what I wanted to read. The expired student ID card and the list of all the courses I ever took didn't exactly
serve to incite me, either. It became most slowly a nd painfully evident that no dismemberment of my records had been necessary; I had led a life decidedly void of real color, of all noteworthy action . Slumped and d e j e c t e d , I shuffied down the hall, convinced that my life was hopelessly mundane, and I a potential threat to no one. No outlet for the countless frustrations of life here, not in my case. And so it is perhaps unadvisable for those of us who have not exactly led a life of intrigue to look at our recordJ;; somehow it is entirely too dishea rtenini:'.

.:l:t
fully refiect the interests of the entire student body. For the first time, the complete control and responsibility of the paper will be in the hands of the students. Terri Kubitscheck will serve as the paper's faculty moderator, and she aims to "advise, not to control." The basic philosophy of the paper is that it will strive to stimulate and enlighten the students as much as possible, not dup)icating the informa tion of other college publications. Emphasis will for the most part be placed on feature stories, presenting candid portraits of people and aspects of campus life that might otherwise go unrevealed. The content of Ebb Tide will be much like that of a magazine. Ebb Tide further seeks to embody all modes of creative expression, from prose, poetry and satire to drawing, photography and cartoons. Hopefully, the paper will be more than just a mirror of the college, keeping its scope broad enough to show the relationship between the campus and the world, examining issues of national and interna tiona l importance from the student's perspective. But to achieve this broader scope, and to truly serve the needs of the entire student body, the staff and contributors of the paper need be numerous and varied. Anyone in the college community may submit a rticles, and they will be evaluated on the basis of student interest. Standing columns will be avoided in order that there will be much variety from one issue to the next. Since there is no longer a ny such thing as a "typical" Salve student, the publication that represents the students should not be rigid a nd predicta ble. And so we crave your reactions to this first issue, for in this way we can determine what the content of the next should be. Leave us a note, or voice your opinion to someone on the staff, but in any event, let us know how we're doing.
Harris Busy Winning Supporters For '7 6. by Martha. Wolf "1976 is a good time to get
back to the kind of economic and political democracy that Jefferson had in mind," thundered Democratic presidential hopeful Fred Harris when he spoke last month in Newport. He pledges to "put the country back together again." H i b e r n i an Hall, where the short, solid senator from Oklahoma bellowed his philosophy to a group of about 50, was a far cry from the Slocum mansion on Bellevue Avenue where Gerald Ford made an appeal for funds a few weeks earlier. But it fit right in with Harris, who is the son of a sharecropper, and often illustrates his aim to achieve a fairer distribution of wealth with folksy stories about big pigs and little pigs down on the farm. The crowd roared with approval at Harris' suggestion that Ford be put out of office on the price of gas and electricity alone. He calls for tax reform, stating that "24 millionaires didn't pay income tax last year," and wants "graduated i n c o m e tax rather than graduated loopholes." "Too few people have all the money and power, and everybody else has very little of either," he charges, and vows to "take the rich off welfare." Harris would use jobs to fight crime, stating that putting people to work saves us money in the long run. "No person willing and able to work ought to be out of a job," he remarked. He and his wife, LaDonna, a Comanche Indian, have always "worked for a livillg," he insists. They both have actively supported the Equal Rights Amendment, and Harris has stated that "I believe the Supreme Court was
right in regard to abortion." He also takes a stand on the issue of amnesty: "We made a tragic mistake and sure enough we shouldn't punish those who noticed." Harris hopes to appeal to supporters of George Wallace and George McGovern, and also to all those exploited by the rich and giant corporations. He succeeded in raising. the $5,000 he needed from Rhode Island to help him

Destiny Seen By Spiritualist by Martha. Wolf A Newport woman who believes that she -15 gifted by God to help people, Mrs. Miller refers to herself as a spiritual reader and advisor. "I don't know how to read or write," commented the soft-spok-
qualify for matching federal campaign funds. He closed his speech by reminding his audience that a fellow Oklahoman, Woody Guthrie, wrote a song called, "This Land is Your L1l.nd, This Land is My Land." "If you elect me President of the United States," Harris vowed in a powerful voice, "we'll make ol' Woody Guthrie's song come true."
Cardoza To Be Director Of New Sports Program Under the direction of Paul Cardoza, a new I n t ·r a m u r a 1 Sports Program has been organized this year. Events which have tentatively been planned include Flag football for the fall, Volleyball for after Christmas, and Softball for the spring. "Because of the limited budget and time, it can only be offered to full-time students," explained Mr. Cardoza. "My expectations are high, but I'm only here parttime, about two hours a day, so I have to start small." "Trying to interpret the desires of the students is my main goal," he explained further. "I'm trying to offer what the m a j o r i t y wants." A survey sent out at the beginning of the semester is the way in which he reached the students. Through this questionnaire he found out what sports each of the students preferred and would be most likely to participate in.
~
These are the ones Mr. Cardoza plans to offer. There will be no cost to any of the participating students in this program, as all equipment and supplies will be completely paia for by the college. When asked why he accepted the position as Director of Intramural Sports, Mr. Cardoza stated, "My interest lies in this area because in thi.s · way the entire student body can be involved, not just the top ten percent as in interscholastic sports. An intramural program involves all of the students regardless of their caliber of play." A graduate of Southern State College in Arkansas, he received his masters degree from the University of Rhode Island in physical education. Mr. Cardoza resides in Fall River, and he i,s a physical education teacher in the Newport school system. Mr. Cardoza's office is located in Angelus Hall.
en Armenian woman, "but I can read people like you read books." One would guess that Mrs. Miller has had much of this type of education. She has spent most of her life praying for the people that come to her with problems. She also reads palms and cards. Tarot cards 1 No; she prefers an ordinary deck, that one of her four sons had perhaps been playing with beforehand. She reads the person that comes to her more than the cards that turn up, she explains, using the cards more as a guide. Each Palm A Story A person's palm can also make known their past, present, and· future, she claims, as each is unique and revealing of character. She always tries to tell the truth about what she sees, even though it might be painful for her to do so, because she feels that people come to her to ·seek the truth. Mrs. Miller also claims to be able to read a person's mind, and drive evil spirits away from those who seek her aid. Is she guided by spirits? With a smile, the impressive-looking woman beckons to another room of her modest home; l behind a curtain is revealed no crystal ball, but rather a small shrine with several religious statues and pictures. She needs no trance in order to predict the future, but
instead merely relies upon a relaxed state of mind. Steady Clients "Some people have been coming to me for years," she states, and notes that people of all ages and backgrounds ask her guidance. The cost of a reading is reasonable, and all information is treated as confidential. Mrs. Miller moved here with her sons and congenial husband from Providence not long ago. At this writing, she lives on Stone Street, but she has plans to move soon to another Newport location. She has seven sisters, all living in different parts of the country, and all having "the gift," as did their mother. It is something that has been in her family for many generations, she will tell you, but it is bestowed only upon the girls, not the boys. Mrs. Miller believes that her talent is inborn, but not a power within us all that she has somehow been able to tap. Laying out her cards in several rows and turning them up individually, Mrs. Miller calmly relates to her querents details of finance, love, death, and aspects of the person's own personality. Her intense, warm eyes would seem to penetrate to the soul, and yet the subject of her gaze is not made to feel uneasy under such scrutiny. If people are indeed her books, then Mrs. Miller would seem a library.

Intriguing New Student Has Celestial Interests,· . Pursues Astronomy In Spite Of Busy Schedule by Sherrl Pendell
·
As the 1975 fall term at Salve Regina College progresses we find ourselves in the midst of many new faces, an e'xc!ting mixture of students from many different states and several countries . Strangely enough, one of the most interesting ne"Y faces to hit Salve this year is not only a native Rhode Islander, but is also a native Newporter. Perhaps
Jim Ifill
you have seen liim m the halls or the lounge and wondered what he is all about. Here is your chance to" find out. 'l'he name of this particular interesting student is Jim Hill. Jim was graduated from Ro~ers High School, resides in Newport, and attends Salve as a full time student. Jim is working toward a B.A. with a double major in theology and p sychology. Jim also works for The Newport Restoration Foundation as a purchasing agent. Sounds like a ·b usy life, right ? You ·bet it iff, and to top it off Jim pursues a very complicated hobby, astronomy. This hobby is now one year in duration and in spite of the heavy expense involved in pursuing astronomy as a hobby, Jim says he will continue due to his growing inter est in intangible things which stems primarily from his studies as a theology major. Before my interview with Jim 1. was unaware of all that is involved in the study ot astronom y . It is a lot more than just looking upon the night skies with a telescope: 'I1he study involves the purchase of telescopes and a library of expensive and complicated b o o k s . Astronomy also usually r e qu i res an extensive
background in science and math. Jim has been lllble to manage without a great background in math but is interested in picking up some courses relating to astronomy when he finds a school offering something suita ble along this line . , I asked Jim how much time his hobby involves and was surprised to find out that he only uses his telescope about four times per month. This is partly because of our present latitude and partly due to the great deal of study involved. Jim let me in on a few of his secrets such as the best time for "peering" through the telescope which is between three and five A.M. and the best place to "peer" is where there are no street lights. The early morning hours are the best time to see Jim' s favor i t e constellation, Orion. Orion will be visible a r ound November or December. While talking to Jim he told me that the m ost surprising thing he ever saw was the rings around Saturn and t he most star tling thing h e has ever seen w as an object which at first appeared to be a shooting st a r . This object was seen about fifty miles f rom the Conn. line on the New York side. In Jim's own words, "it was
Picture taken by Jim on October 3rd using a 300mm te lephoto lens . Large, bright light moving t owards center is J upi ter . shocking" . UFO ? J im refuses to s peculate. When asked h ow he stands on the issue of life on other pla net s, Jim has firm ideas. H e says tha t the planet s in our sola r sys tem cannot suppor t life a s we know it with the exception of Venus. Bet ween the car bon dioxide atm ospher e and t he planet it self, there could be a t emperat e zone which may possibly be a ble to sustain aeri~ll life .
As for the futur e, J im has no definit e pla ns . H e does pla n on g r a duating from Salve and hopes t o pursue graduat e st ud ies in the futur e. J im is not sure if h e will be staying fn New England after gra dua tion but he is sure t h a t h e will cqntinue his study of a stronomy and is looking forw ard t o the da y w hen he can fi nally spot Mercury, a pla net he has ye t to see.
. .. Time Has · Not Stood Still For SRC; 1948, Anyone?
What 28 Years Have Done .
by I.Jnda. Clorlte a.nd Mary M.acl"jowski
How t i m e s h a v e changed since 1948! As the 28th graduating class approaches its end ox college days, reflections focus on the first Freshman class of i::>.R .C. With a total enrollment of approximately fifty students, the college life centered around Ochre Court. Mercy Hall, the stables of Ochre, was given later in the y ear to S .R.C. by Robert Goelet and housed dorms, a gym and a chemistry lab. Twenty-five years later, enrollment has increased to 1,730 and the college occupies approximately twenty building·s . Upon the arrival of S .R .C.' s first freshmen, orientation began. A compulsory Holy Mass formally opened the academic year. Registration, psychological examinations, library u s e assistance and a visit by R . I. Bishop Keough, followed during · the next two days. Living in Ochre Court and Mercy Hall meant abiding by many regulations. Among the religious obligations every Salve girl had to fulfill were to be present at chapel exercises, to make the annual retreat and to say a traditional daily Rosary. If Resident students were planning to leave for a weekend, reg istration had to be made with the Dean on the Wednesday before, and a note was sent either home or to their hostess! Freshmen were allowed to dine with their family only once a week. To venture out on the cliff walk was prohibited at all times.
Non-residents were not allowed in resident's rooms . Books and wraps were kept in assigned lockers. Commuters a 1 s o were not permitted to leave campus until after their last class. Parietals consisted o f being back at the dorm no later than ·5 :45 p.in. on weekdays and. 8 p .m. on Sundays. Gentlemen were no ~ allowed in resident .a reas without permission. Visitors could be rec ~ iv ed in the parlor of the College Hall on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, h o 1 i d a y and holyday afternoons. All out-going phone calls were made between 6-9:30 p.m . (Just imagine if that rule still held!) And there were to be absolutely no messages during study hour. Messy rooms were intolerable. By 9 a.m. on weekdays and 10:30 a .m . on Saturdays, all rooms were to be in order. Quiet hours left little time for playing records and lots of time for studying. Silence was to reign between the hours of 9 a.m. noon, 1 p.m. -2 :30p.m., 7 :15p.m . - 9:30p.m and 10 p.m. - 7 :30a.m. Bedtime was at 8 p.m. and a check was made at this hour. To miss a meal in the school cafeteria, one had to first get permission from the Dean! Remember dress codes? Though they don't exist In too many schools now, they surely did in 1948! Stockings were always to be worn. Jeans and slacks were not found anywhere on campus. Hats were compulsory o1f campus, and scarfs and bandanas were worn only in the rain. To break a school rE:gula.tion I
meant an imposed penalty. Often this punishment w a s suspen sion . The following smoking r ules we r e disciplined with this sentence. There was no smokmg allow ed : on campus, except in the smoking room; on Newport buses, bet ween Fall River and Newport, and Providence and Newport; and on roads and highways within two miles of campus or in any public place in Newport. Other rules that m eant penali- ' zation if broken w ere : patronizing restaur ants and t ea rooms not on t he "approved" list (guess Patrick's is out! ), failing to wear boudoir slippers after check-in,. failing to wear housecoats over pajamas and taking showers or baths "after lights." Under a secti~n in the 194 7-48
handbook we r e listed the following "Decorum" procedu r es. Voices are to be kept a t a conversationa l pitch AT ALL TIMES. Loud voices ar e alway!> unpleasant. One cultivated g e n t 1 e n e s s of movement by c 1 o s i n g doors quietly. It is a mark of ill-breeding to sit on tables or arms of chairs. Also included are a few "H ints to Freshmen." 1) Make a visit to the cha pel everyday 2) D<;m 't overcut 3) Don' t use ink in the Library or carry ink bottles around 4) Don't waste too much time in the Social Room 5) Don't use the elevator - you m ight get caught! If we were to make some
modern "H ints", t hey m ight r ead somet hing lik e t his: 1 ) Try to att end Mass once a week 2) Attend ea ch class at least three times a m onth 3) Don 't carr y food from the cafet er ia t o your room 4) Don 't was t e too much t im e and money in the bars 5) D on 't t ry to sneak into the cafet eria without an I.D. you might g et caught! Tim es change; people change ; S .R.C. is c h a nging . Within tw enty-eight short y ears, S.R .C. has grown a nd expanded along with the trends of the rest of the colleg e world. As the twentyeighth school year g ets closer to its end, we can truly say, "We've come a long way, baby! "

Seniors Study And Travel In Copenhagen • Durtng Second Setnest~er of Junior Year by Leilani Goggin Living and studying in Copenhagen, Denmark, seniors Jan Oliver and Pat Cusak spent the second semester of their junior years abroad. Arriving in Denmark at the end of January, the two girls, although it had not been previously arranged, found themselves living in a modern apartment complex with the same Danish family. Along with this young couple, they also "adopted" a younger brother and sister. "It was a real cultural shock," said Jan, "I had never been out of the United States. Listening to a foreign language in all its forms took some adjustment. The Danish people, however, are free
and open with their ideas which helped." Denmark's slow-paced and relaxed atmosphere proved to be an enjoyable adjustment however, and it made significant impressions on them both. The Danish people, for example, frequently spend great amounts of time leisurely talking over tea, which is served twice a day. Cultural. changes for Pat, on the other hand, were basically personally oriented. "Not only did I learn a great deal about myself, but I began to look at people as people. Just living there was an educational experience in itself." Danish Studies Studying in Denmark through a program at Washburn Univer-
si~y in Kansas, Pat and Jan, both of whom are Psychology majors, attended the University of Copenhagen. Their four class schedules included a variety of liberal arts courses, such as European Ballet, Opera, Architecture, Philosophy, and Psychology. Along with three hundred other students from the States, they studied 1mder "highly qualified" Danish professors. The educational system in Denmark is an exceptional one, and most of the people are bilingual, if not trilingual. English and German, both, are usually ta..tght in the early stages of the schooling program. European Travel Besides Denmark, their four month trip abroad allowed them

* by Tony Kutsaftis "Insanity will prevail among the insane." With that prophetic statement we begin another year of the Ebb Tide. Or should I say I do for I am the papers' resident madman. I'd like to welcome all the freshmen to Salve. The following article should be kept handy at all times and should 'be swallowed in the event you are captured by enemy agents. This following letter was written to my friend Roland by his Uncle Kavanaugh. (Thanks Hank) • Dear Roland, Enclosed you will find a check for 100 dollars that was left by your grandfather Rudyard to pay for your tuition when you begin college. I have a feeling it would have been a considerable amount had he not taken up with bimbo from Hoboken. Aunt Beatrice said it was all that high living that caused his ultimate demise, but I think it was the ~oboggan accident. Why would a ninety-seven year old man try to slide dawn the TimeLife building in his jockey shorts singing the Bulgarian national anthem. Along with the 100 dollars he left a framed diploma engraved to a Miss Martha Maria Lupez Rodgiques, class 'of 1909 Barbazon School of Modeling. I am at a loss to explain it's importance, except to note Grandfather Rudyards interest in higher education. I have been instructed by the lawyers who hand 1 e d grandfathers will that the bequest toward your tuition be accompanied by some advice that Grandfather Rudyard felt was essential for the beginning college student. 1. Pretend that your roommate is a great kid even if you got stuck with a turkey. Why make life miserable? 2. Don't fall in with fast women. The slow ones will do nicely . 3. It is considered bad form to pretend that you have Jimmy Hoffa hidden in your room. 4. Acknowl~ge Bishop Fulton Sheen as a genius any chance you get. 5. Don't refer to the Gross National Product in front of women
unless you're prepared to back it up with action. 6. Second semester is a good time to tell your roommate that he is a turkey and to take up with the fast women you missed in the first semester. 7. To impress your instructor carry a copy of 'Scientific American' to class. A copy of 'War and Peace' with the book mark the way through works wonders. 8. In the event of a failing grade claim that you were attacked by a diseased ' yak the night before the exam. Most instructors are immune to that nonsense about dying relatives or an out•break of cow pox in the donn. I trust that the 100 dollars will be of some help. As to the advice I am reminded of something that William Blake wrote in his celebrated 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', "Dip him in the river who loves the water." At any rate good luck. Sincerely, Uncle Kavanaugh The following is a bar review: Yesterday's - Has good sandwiches and is a lively place into disco music. It's also up to its touche in squids (you know, those loveable eight handed creatures with the minds and personalities of trained after dinner mints.) Tavern - Is conveniently located, has resonable prices and great drinks, very congenial. people but a .b it on the horny side. We advise you come with a Louisville slugger and your favorite heavily pimpled, 400 lb. girlfriend.

Salt' - Quality entertainment. The oniy complaint we have is the sardine packing and a $3.50 cover charge but you're guaranteed a great time. ll&rpo's - is jazz. With the dark jungle atmosphere and the zzzzed out customers, you should beware of stampeding elephants and guys with mosquito nets who warn of malaria outbreaks. Bourbon St. - Fun place with good music but you might find it distracting to look around and see half the clientelle in pampers, (serving mUk and cookies nightly.) Patrick's - Mirror, mirror on the wall, super place and best employees in town!!!! Electric Elephant Man if you dig having your eardrums shattered, groove on having your face stomped, or get turned on by long cold chain!\ dis is da joint for youse. Greaser heaven with all the coziness of a Hell's Angels' c h u r c h outing. Wear youse leather coat, youse darkest shades, and youse ever Iovin tightest jeans. Some of the ·b est specials and m u s i c in town, really! There's other local watering spots and we're sure if you make reservations you can catch the changing of the cockroaches at 7 and 11. Seriously all of the above clubs are good and you can have a good time if you so desire. Our opinions are our own and no offense is meant to anyone. The reviews are satirical and we are personally acquainted with fine people associated with all of these establishments.
to travel through, explore, and grasp appreciation for a number of European countries and their cities; Austria, Iceland, Paris, Rome, and Switzerland, to name only a very few. Jan chose this quote to sum up the experience; "Happy are those
who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true." "Seeing Copenhagen with its museums, parks, and the changing of the Guards, and being able to travel abroad was truly a dream come true!" affirmed Pat.
