The old Haven: Possibilities unlimited and unknown.
New Office To Provide Counseling Placement The Office of Counseling Services, located in Room 4 of McAuley Hall, has bOOn opened to meet the needs of all students at Salve. It offers placement services to seniors and also has counseling services available for members of each class. Need for such a center has been realized during the past years. The co-operation of the administration and the faculty toward the concept of a counseling center have made this realization possible. The center is an independent agency, and so it 'Yorks freely to help students, yet, at the same time, it adheres to the philosophy of the college, which is to ,help its students mature in all ways.

Use of the old Haven as a cen~ ter for student communicatiop. and entertainment was the heart of the idea originally presented by a few students. Having heard and seen how such an experiment had been inaugurated on other Southern New England campuses such as Holy Cross and Rhode Island College, Salve students wondered whether such an enterprise could be initiated here in Newport. Maggie Moran, having observed the initiation and growth of the coffee house at Rhode Island College, expressed the de'sire shared by many' fellow students to see such a meeting place organized on campus. She says, "I feel that a coffee house would be beneficial to the student body as a whole because it would provide soc i a I activity other than mixers and probably would solve the problem of what to do on Friday night in Newport.

Among Sister Mary Constantia's other plans is a reorganization of classes for the physically handicapped so that these children too may experience a fulltime school week. Sister is hopeful about this project. "It will not be a short time; the change will be gradual." Her greatest hope is that those students minoring in Special Education will help her with religion instruction in Newport. When asked how she keeps up with her busy schedul~, she exclaimed, "It's wonderful to be here at Salve and enjoy the enthusiasm of the girls over this Special Educational program."
