R. I. Cultural Events Open To Salve Students The ticket endowment program of the Rhode Island State Arts Council is offering an exciting and varied world of artistic performances. Among the . first is a play, Red Roses For Me, written by 1S ean 0' Casey to be performed by the Trinity Square Players during Oct. 17 through Nov. 9, at the R.I. School of Design auditorium.

The Rhode Island Chamber Music Concert featuring the Brazilian String Quartet will take place on Oqt. 22 also in the RISD auditorium. On Oct. 29, The Diary of a Country Priest, a film by Robert Bresson will be shown at 7:30p.m. at the Church of the Mediator in Providence.

Th~ ticket endowment program is a newly founded cultural organization. Its basic purpose is to reach a new audience by subsidizing a portion of the ticket cost. Students, youth groups, recreation centers, and educational groups are all eligible for ticket endowment participation.

•

Along with the changes in the administration, Salve has also added seven new members to the faculty for the 1968-1969 academic year.

Two of the new teachers are members of the Theology department. Sister M. Jeannette Pivin, R.S.M. who received her masters degree in Theology from Notre Dame University, taught at Mount St. Rita's Novitiate in Cumberland before her appointment to Salve. Sister Prudence Mary Croke, R.S.M., prior to her coming to Salve, taught at Saint Xavier's Academy in Providence.

Sister received her masters degree in Theology from Catholic University.

Mr. James Robison who previously taught at the University of Texas and also at the University of Southwestern Louisiana ts now a member of the Art department. Mr. Robison received his masters degree from Eastern Illinois University and his masters of fine arts degree from ClairmQnt Graduate School in California.

The Nursing department has added Mrs. Maureen Hull to its staff. Mrs. Hull, a gra,duate of Salve, received her masters degree from Boston College. Before accepting the position at Salve, she was ·a Newport Hospital Staff Nurse and also a i:nember of the Newport Visiting Nurses.

Mrs. Virginia Anzivino pas accepted a position in the Home Economics Department. Mrs. Anzivino, a candidate for her masContinued on Page 4 '

Julian Bond Airs Views November 2nd Julian Bond, a Democratic member of the Georgia House of Representatives, will speak at O'Hare Academic Center on Saturday, November 2. The lecture is

part of a series sponsored by the college cultural committee.

Mr. Bond is a founder of the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR), the Atlanta University Center student organization that co-ordinated three years of student anti-segregation protests in Atlanta beginning in 1960. Also, in April, 1960, Mr. Bond helped to found the Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee (SNCC). That summer he joined the st8.ff of a newlyformed Atlanta weekly Negro newspaper, the ATLANTA INQUIRER, as a reporter and feature writer. He later became Managing Editor. ·

.

Grants Available For Graduate Studies The competition for United States Government grants for graduate study or research, or for study and professional training in the creative and performing arts abroad in 1969-70, is nearing its close. Congressional funding for Department of State grants in Fiscal Year 1969 is substantially below last year's total. Therefore, it is not possible to assure candidates of the availability for all countries of the grants already shown.

Reductions will be applied most heavily in the categories of grants for Americans to go overseas because of the desire of the government to reduce travel overseas at this time. Competition for such grants will be all the keener. The number of 1969-70 grants for Americans may, on the average, be reduced as much as twothirds from .the preceding year.

The awards are available as part of the educational and cul-

tural exchange program of the U. S. Department of State. The general purpose of the program, admiD.istered by the Institute of International Education, is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those of other countries.

Application forms and detailed information for students currently enrolled at Salve Regina may be o't1tained from Miss MacDonald at the Placement Office in O'Hare.

With competition greatly increased, only candidates who fully meet eligibility requirements and other selection criteria will be considered. Preference will be given to candidates who have had no previous extended study or residence abroad, and who are under 35 years of age.

Selections will be. made on the basis of academic and/ or profes· Continued on Page 4

In January, 1961, Mr: Bond took on the position of Communications Director of the Student Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee, a job he held until September, 1966. While with SNCC, Mr. Bond directed the organization's photography, printing, and publicity departments. His work with SNCC took him to civil rights drives and voter registration campaigns in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

He was first elected to a seat created by reapportionment in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1965, but was prevented from ·taking office the following January, by members of the legislature who objected to some of his statements and positions. After a series of repercussions, Mr. Bond was seated when the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Georgia House had erred in refusing him his seat.

Among other associations, Mr. Bond is presently affiliated with the Executive Committee of the Atlanta NAACP, and a member of the Board of the Highlander Research and Education Center.

He has been a Research Associate of the Voter Education Prqject of the Southern Regional Council.

The young politician is also distinguished in the literary world.

His poems and articles have appeared in NEGRO DIGEST, MOTIVE, FREEDOMWAY,S, RAMPARTS, NEW NEGRO POETS, BEYOND THE BLUES, and other publications. ·

Juniors Strike Again The Junior Class is undertaking the largest :fund-raising project by a single class in the history of the college. Under the direction of Marifrances Kelly, the class of 1970 is sponsoring a car raffle for the benefit of Junior Ring Weekend.

The car to be raffled is a 1969 Javelin, matador red, with a thin white racing stripe, black interior, white walls, radio, carpeting, and a four speed shift on the floor. The car was obtained through Viti Brothers Rambler Dealers in Middletown, Rhode Island.

The chances for the car may be purchased from any member of the Junior Class. The tickets are one dollar apiece and four dollars for a book of :five. The winning ticket will be drawn Friday, February 14, following the Junior Ring Ceremony.

The Junior class has set a $12,000 goal and they are asking the co-operation and support from the other classes.

Initiative is important in one's life. It is necessary in one's expression of self. Initiative is subsequently important in life at Salve Regina Cqllege. It is necessary to stop beyond non-involved existence and to commit oneself. It is action and enthusiastic support.

Because initiative is a pre-requisite for a vital campus, Ebb Tide applauds its many expressions which have pervaded the initial weeks of the 68-69 academic year. Recently campus organizations have started functioning with unusual zest. Thus far a new aliveness is evident. The junior class is making extensive preparations for their car-rafHe. Student Council has published a revised resident handbook, has held a Faculty Student Senate, and has discussed issues important to the entire student enrollment.

However as the year progresses the continuity of such enthusiasm is what will determine the attitude and the vitality of the campus, and thus of the individual. The sale of car-rafHe tickets will be indeed a prime instance in which to indicate initiative. Indeed initiative has been exhibited by those involved with the organizational plans, but the success of their efforts, and the determination of such future endeavors will be decided by the response of the student body. An interest in the affairs of Student Council, the student's government will insure the commitment of this elected body to the students' ideas. It is obvious that one's ideas will never get beyond the Haven or the dormitory, if their , advocates don't.

Initiative will also be expressed in those who support the Cultural and the Social Commitf:ees events as well as in those who continue interest in individual clubs, and in this publication.

To attend meetings and functions as a "necessary evil" 'or for "the thing to do" is not initiative. The opportunity is indeed here. The potential to live actively is both a community and a-private one.

Salve abounds with opportunities to express individual creativity.

Remember, to feel that your school is alive, you must be involved in it. The time is now. - Go ahead.

Nix On Nixon

By KATHY LANNAN Some say "Nixon's the one."

He's the one alright. He's the one, as the New Republic said it 11hortly after his nomination,. "'who is a retread." "Retreads .arc fine on good roads at moderate speeds. The blowout comes when the going gets hot and fast. That's what we worrY about."

Nixon, the born loser, blew rus top in California after his defeat for the :g overnorship in 1962. He swore the press. would never be nasty to Dicky again. Nixon has a habit of losing his cool especially under even the slightest pressure. He's trying hard to make for himself a new image rather than run the risk of change. When one of our planes went down off Siberia, it was good 'ole Dick who wanted to go in instantly with force. !He's the one with a foul foreign image. The following statements represent a good cross section of the reactions to "Tricky Dicky's" nomination across the globe: Tokyo - "he must still prove he's not the 'Old Nixon';" Sweden - "an opportunist," represents "most of what is repellent in American politics;" England - "A disquieting uncertainty about Mr. Nixon's innermost convictions on the great issues of home and foreign policy;" Poland - he's a familiar "old reactionary."

Kitchen Debate If there was ever hope for relaxing tension between the United States and the Sovie( Union it would be totally lost with Nixon as .President. His famous Kitchen debate with Khrushchev in .July of 1959 has not been forgotten, and Nixon has been snubbed by the Soviet ang Kremlin leaders ever since. · He's the one who is a real war hawk, but with a thousand faces.

Nixon wants to rebuild U. S. military power. He sees a need

for the development of more advanced. weapons and he is most definite about restoring stren~h in the missile program. His choice of Agnew, the hard-liner on Negroes, also proves his hawkishness along with his stress on military and police force for solving racial and international problems.

From Hawk to Dove If you find yourself in the: right place with the right group of people you may be justified in believing that Nixon wants an "honorable end to the War" for this is how he operates.

Every viewpoint possible has been preached in his campaign.

Two years ago he was outdoing Johnson with hawkish ideas while around the New Hampshire primary time he said "the S. commitment in Saigon was a 'cork in the bottle of Cliinese expansion in Asia.' As the public cools to war so does Nixon."

He's the one who is nervous on a platform speeling out a tearjerker, trying to get support by saying "We'll win this one for Ike.'' What did Ike do for us?

Nixon's Big Blunder He's the one who has already made a big blunder. Nixon's statement that the United States should go in and take the Pueblo from the North Koreans, a fourth rate military power, was not tactful; and tact is something a president should possess. !He's the one who feels that too much money is being spent in trying to give "everyone" a college education. Thus, he plans a cutback in scholarships and a promotion of loans which, one might add, must be reinbursed.

He's the one who, it must be admitted, learned a good lesson.

He won't debate on nationwide television for he learned that lesson the hard way.

Is this "the One" . whom you choose to have as president of our great country?

Salve Regina's annual Honors Convocation was held on September 30 on the terrace of Ochre Court. At the ceremony 115 students were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements.

Sister Christopher, President of the college, presided while Father John Reilly gave the in~ vocation. This was followed by an address entitled "Scholarship and the Catholic College" given

by Sister M. Cleophas, .President Emeritus of Mount Saint Agnes College, Baltimore, Md. Sister Alban, Dean of Studies, conferred the honors.

Sister Cleophas, the guest speaker, received a Ph.D. in English from Catholic University.

She is also an authority on T. S. Eliot. 'Sister was just honored in March 1968, by receiving the Father Andrew White, IS. J. Medal in recognition of her achievements as educator and scholar.

Harp On H. H. H.

u:

Ochre Court Enhances 21st Honors Convocation The address given by Sister Cleophas revolved around the t h r e e "a's", - ambivalence, atheism, and altruism, and how they are co-related to the pr~s­ ent state of education and to our civilization in general. Sister emphasized the point that college students should be made aware of the great need for intellectual life and the advantages it offers tliem in coping with the complex problems· of the twentieth century.

Following the presentation of honors, was the installation of the four Student Council officers.

They. are Mary Kay Segar, President; Maria Sciarrotta, Vice President; Pamela Sweeney, Secretary; and Joanne Gauthier, Treasurer.

In a world of miracle drugs, great strides in technology, social 'revolution and the politics of happiness, it is reassuring to know that there is nothing wrong with Hubert Humphrey that a good old fashioned labotomy would not cure. This is the year of survival; we as a nation and a people are either going to make it or break it in the next decade.

This is the year of challenge but alas the year of no choice.

The three contenders are certainly men that all youth should imitate. We have a man with a long drawl who says what he thinks and thinks like a bigot.

We have a classic loser who can only run a dry track, and we have Mr. Magoo. At this point you say look at his record. He is a liberal from the part of the

country that grows progressively as easily as they grow corn.

And his record is pretty good good that is, to a point.

That point is Atlantic City 1964. That is the place where H.H.H. started "his long climb downward." He was and is the voice of the administration, and if he denies that, he is an apos-, tate. Who in God's name wants an apostate for President? He knows, says he, that he has not always agreed on the administration's policy. Isn't that nice?

Nice that the Vice President is letting us know this now a month before the election. Why, if he is a man of conviction, did he not let us know this in the last four years?

Cream Of The Crop At Cave-In The Cave-In, Salve's coffee house, opened for another season on ·S ept. 27. The opening was highlighted by a performance given by Kathy Duffy, Chris Quinton, and a group of servicemen.

Under the direction of Mary Ann Cronin, the coffee house tentatively plans to be open every other Friday from 8-11 p.m.

Various singers and groups have expressed a desire to perform at the Cave-In. Auditions will be held as the need arises and anyone wishing to try-out should contact Miss Cronin.

Cave-In performers have been invited by Providence College and various folk-singing groups to sing at their coffee houses. The same hospitality will be extended by 'S alve to other schools and hopes are that the student body will support them in their endeavor.

GIVE A DAMN! SUPPORT

Page 3

ACTION

CORE

In an effort to gain support from the college students in Rhode Island, Governor John Chafee held a press conference on October 9, in the State House.

The student members represented the respective college and university papers.

Being an election year, a number of statements naturally surrounded the Governor's candidacy. Mr. Chafee emphasized that he was running on his past record of accomplishments as. well as on his honesty regarding the funds necessary for keeping Rhode Island a growing state.

The "gospel according to John" says Judge Frank Licht is miscalculating the ,s tate budget by some fifteen inillion dollars.

It was in the field of education that the Governor made a special appeal to the students since his administration has made marked strides in this area. His six year term in office has seen the construction of Rhode Island Junior College as well as an over-all jump in the total enrollment in :Rhode ~sland's state colleges and university from five thousand to thirteen thousand students.

Another center of student interest on which Mr. Chafee was challenged was that of dissention. The Governor stated that, '"dissent should be strong as long as it doesn't trample on the rights of others.'' The emphasis here was definitely on ~rder. As the Governor said, protest must exist but "we must not revert to the inquisition.''

Within this topic Governor Chafee is opposed to the Morris Bill which is in favor of stripping dissenting .students of their scholarships. Mr. Chafee feels that such action should be left to the discretion of the individual institutes.

In answer to a question regarding State assistance to promising students who are unable to or uninterested in attending college, the Governor cited a program be-

gun this summer at the University of Rhode Island. During a six week period forty-three promising students were tutored in English and Math. As a result, the entire group, mostly Negro students, are presently enrolled in institutes of higher learning.

This program was subsidized by state funds and an allotment from the Ford Foundation.

When asked about the "New Politics," Mr. Chafee ' related the issue to the upsurge of student involvement especially brought about by the campaign of Senator Eugene McCarthy. Although the Governor sfated that he is supporting the Nixon - .AJgnew ticket, he does not feel that either of the major candidates encompasses the demands proposed by the new political undercurrent.

State unemployment was another area about which Governor Chafee felt strongly. Apparent· ly the chronic unemployment rate was twice the na~ional average when the Governor took of· fice. Six years later the Rhode Island unemployment rate is "far below the national average.''

If these statistics are correct, at least one student wondered why the FBI reported a sixtyone percent increase in crime in Rhode Island as well as seventy vacancies in the Providence po~ lice department. Mr. Chafee's response put the problem mainly in the lap of city government since he is basically opposed to massive big brother intervention on the part of the state. However, the Governor did cite several municipal training programs offered by the State Pollee Force~

Rogers High School Scene Of Othello

•

The National Shakespeare Company under the direction of Mr. Philip Meister presented its interpretation of OTHELLO at Rogers High School on Qctober 15. The production was sponsored: by the Cultural Committee ofl ·S alve Regina College.

Among the outstanding features surrounding the presentation was William Pitkin's imaginative, tri-level aluminum stage.

With it, the company has the ability of twenty sets, rather than one, and is therefore able to suit the production to the location. Mr. Pitkin's vast design experience includes Broadway's THE IMPOSSIBLE YEA:RS and INVITATION TO MARCH; the original Off-Broadway production of THREE-PENNY OPERA; and settings for both the Balanchine and Joffrey ballet companies.

Mr. John Houseman, on the company's artistic staff, has been artistic director of the American Shakespeare Festival, and in 1960 became artistic director of the Theater Group at the University of California. Last season he was represented on Broadway by the A .P.A. production of PANTAGLIEZE, with previous Broadway credits including HAMLET, with Leslie Howard; CORIOLANUS with Robert Ryan, and KING LEAR with Louis Calhern. His television work has earned him three Emmy Awards.

S. R. C. Enrolls In Society Chapter The Delta Alpha Chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma National Honor 'Society has been established at Salve !Regina· College this year.

Salve Sisters Support Inner City Program Four Sisters of Mercy, sponsored by Salve Regina College, are participating in the Inner City Program at the Hartford Park Housing Project in Providence. Sister Kathleen O'Connell and Sister Carol Reagan, both of whom are nurses, have geared themselves to the public health of the community while Sister Patricia Healy and Sister Janice Cowsill have concentrated on the overall well being of the residents.

This experiment in community living is the result of the need felt by the Religious to become sensitive to and knowledgeable of the contemporary urban situation. In an attempt to become active as agents of change, the Sisters share an apartment in the project itself and participate as residents at various neighborhood functions. Their first step is to identify the health, educational and social problems of the poor and then to assist them in verbalizing these needs.

In coordination with the program, Sister Carol Reagan and the student public health nurses affiliated with the College are working at H a r t f o r d Park Clinics. It is hoped that other activities involving students at Salve Regina will evolve from this project.

View And Beview

By KAREN GROSS In the hope of inspiring young radicals and members of college campuses 't o support the Cuban revolution in South America, Fidel Castro allowed the publication of The Diary of Che Guevara. This account, faithfully noted by Castro's right hand man - the hero of the New Left, gave insurmountable evidence that the guerrilla movement not only hoped to initiate a ''second Vietnam" but was under close supervision of Fidel Castro. The diary illustrated, however, nothing more than an abortive attempt on the part of a few men .to attain their goal.

The publication of the diary afforded Castro the perfect opportunity to present a detailed analysis of the counter revolution. Allowing himself approximately six thousand words to present a commentary of the struggles confronted by Guevara, the Cuban Premier primarily assailed the Latin American and Russian Communists for their

month span from November of 1966 to October of 1967, appears to be a tedious piece of work to read. Giving day by day descriptions of the weather, hunger faced by the group, small personality clashes, and various illnesses contacted by the men, the diary can be considered dreary and depreasing. Numerous amounts of technical and geographical information can also contribute to this general feeling. In counterbalancing this overall impression, it may well serve the reader or critic involved in The Diary of Che Guevara not to allow himself to become entangled with the myriad of superficial details, but to concentrate on a keen understanding of the political situation as it exists.
