Progress _Requires Transition

•

Initiative, perseverence, and progress have vitalized Salve Regina; initiative on the part of the administration, faculty, and students to recognize the necessity for intellectual, social and cultural expansion; perseverence in the actualization of these goals; and progress in the crystalization of diverse ideas.

The evolution of any sound institute by its very nature must encompass a series of transitions. Salve Regina in 1969 is in a transitory stage; a stage which is based on the efforts of previous members of the college. The responsibility is now oms to surge forward, to seek the positive, to emulate Salve Regina.

Inquiring Reporter Along with the spring, girls here at Salve start to wonder what dorm they will be living in the following year. Keeping with this topic, the question of "Should seniors be allowed to live off campus," seems pertinent.

Jane Krywinski '71 stated, "Yes, I think so and for many reasons. It could · affect me because I'm a nurse. If seniors lived off campus, the nurses would probably have a better chance of staying on campus. Also I think it should be a sellior prerogative to live off campus. Finally, it would be less expensive, good experience, and would help the nurses."

Jane Krywinskl

Marifrances Kelly

Marifrances Kelly '70 stated, "It stands to reason that a young woman who is twenty-one or twenty-two years old and away at college should be capable of living off the respective college campus, if she so desires. I believe that only seniors should be afforded this privilege however.

This measure could, if it is feasible, be the solution to the junior nurses dilemma of living in Providence next year."

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: As outgoing editor of the Ebb Tide there are several concepts that are most imperative to be recognized. It is an experience to be editor, as one has the opportunity to meet the administration, faculty and most of the student body which otherwise would not be possible.

This past year hopefully has shown an improvement in the paper in regards to content. A paper is useful only if it informs people and if this information contributes to increased knowledge. A paper is for enjoyment not only for one's self but for one's acquaintances. Ebb Tide is a non-partisan paper and hopefully this year, it has lived up to this standard. It has presented facts and in taking an editorial stand has shown unity.

Ebb Tide is an outlet and a source of communication for the students and should include the faculty. In the future this media for communication will expand and be brought to its fullest use.

I enjoyed working on the paper and enjoyed working with all the students, faculty and administration who were essential in making my year fruitful. I hand the position over to a competent successor, Betsy Ellis. I know she will do her best to continue the improvement and poli" cies of Ebb Tide. Again thank you.

-Kathy Podd

Dear Editor, Picture a pool - calm, still, motionless, stagnant. Or picture a field of snow: white, shining, pure - and sterile. Do you want to be ivory tower pure? What earthly good does it do to be the most knowledgeable person in the world, if you never have the generosity to apply it, or the curiosity to delve more deeply into the knowledge?

This campus is suffering from a sort of boredom; "cultural Mary Sr. Barbara apathy," you could call it. After Andriacchi Braman Project Hope, it seems incredible. For example, on Monday, Mary Andriacchi '69 stated, April 28 a film was shown.

Yours sincerely, Barbara Carrillo, 1971

Dear Editor: Since the bill abolishing a formal dress code went into effect recently most of the students have become quite aware of the aptagonistic feelings in the "campus community." This reaction has prompted us to pen out a few personal thoughts on the subject.

To begin with, one of the comments made to some slackedstudents was "Why must you wear these the first day allowed?" Now this is probably the most insane one of all. If a person receives his drivers' license does he wait a few days or weeks to make use of it? To what avail is a new law or ruling if the recipients hold back on using it?

A major concern of psychologists today has gained such attention to at least warrant mention of it here. Where do you look to find a masculine and feminine identity? Are we really the people our parents warned us against? Prescribed social roles of the masculine and feminine image have manifested themselves in designated dress codes. Clad all boys in long pants, shear their locks, dress girls in skirts, de-emphasize Levis and all will be ready to transport the family to the local Gimbels for their Christmas portrait. Allow people to be indi· vidual, but restrict their expression - "1984" is fast upon us.

Beyond the sexuality of male .and female is a field yet to be explored on an individual basis.

Identity can't be molded before it is found. It can't be , found when a search for its authenticity is suppressed.

Obviously, the acknowledgment of each others freedom in an institution such as ours is primary to any other understanding within a h,ierarchical power structure.

Directed to those who contend that we are infringing on their freedom to be what at least their position has given them, do we really restrict your freedom by wearing slacks?

Are you really feminine or masculine clad in dresses and suits? Roles can be played, lives live<!_ and people respected Continued on Page 6

The members of EBB TIDE's Editorial Board for 1969-1970 are seen studying previous issues. They are · (1-r) Karen Gross, Feature Editor; Mary Anne Tierney, News Editor; Betsy Ellis, Editor-in-Chief; and Nancy Crane and Cathy Litwin, Business Managers. Absent when the photo was taken was Marilynn Kitchen, Art Editor.

if ravel Agency Aids Tourists VVhere are the real treasuretroves of information for the traveller going abroad? At the travel agency? At our international airlines? For city by city, region by region data, no one can rival the national tourist offices maintained in the U. S. by each of 22 individual European countries. Booklets, folders, and answers are available in greater deta il and quantity and a r e usually most up to date when received from the national tourist offices. And, best of all, they are always free.

While travel agents and airlines have a great deal of information, much of it is geared toward packaged tours and for the do-it-yourselfer who likes to map out his own journe~, culling information from national tourist offices is usually interesting and informative. However, when · you decide to book your trip, you are best served by doing it through a local travel . agent.

They have facilities for Jxpediting hotel reservations, etc., that are far beyond your capacities.

Every major European country (including half a dozen Eastern European countries) has offices in the U.S. A 'POstcard to them will usually result in a bundle of -literature for you. Try to be as specific as possible when writing to them. If you wish to visit only London, mention that to the British Travel Asso ~iation. Otherwise, you will get a handful of folders about countryside inns 'which may be of little interest to you.

A complete list of all tne Tourist Offices of the countries of Europe· may be obtained free of charge by writing Auto Europe, 1270 'Second Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10021, and enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

They will, if you so request, also send you information on renting or buying a car in Europe.

By MARGARET McGAHAN After •a yea r of hard work a nother stepping stone for the senior class has . been r eached.

On May 20, 1969 the 1969 Regina Maris became pa rt of their class history. The theme of "awareness" was carried through in the college, state, and national · communities under the direction of · the editorial board. Members of the board are Chris Beallac, Mary Johann, Michelle Marino, Mary McGann, and Kathy Riley.

Jean Gordon and Jean Bryson were busiess managers, and the photography was done by Diane LaCazette, who was assisted by Cathy Dolan and Mary Hetherington.

New ideas were used and new dimensions were reached. The informal senior pictures, the personal senior quotations, the informal individual faculty pictures, the use of pictures without class distinction, and a new type of cover were among the many changes in this year's edition.

Dedication Changed Another big change was made in the dedication, and it reads "We wish to dedicate the 1969 Regina Maris to all of us." It is dedicated to all who in anyway are connected with the students, the school, or people in g eneral. There is a minimum amount of wording used and it is structured very informally.

As Kathy Riley, one· of the editors put it 1'it's a people book, it's informal in every way, and that's what makes it!" The class of '69 has just completed a big task and now is the time for the class of '70 to begin.

Jane Carroll, Ca rol Dybala, Maureen Noble, and Kathy Podd were appointed · to the editorial board for next years edition of the Regina Maris and have already begun working on it. Judy Bar ry and Cathy Barbaria have been assigned the task of balancing the books while Sharon Lanoue is in charge of the photography. The senior informal pictures have been taken and the board is now toying with new ideas to make the next yearbook as much a part of their class as the class of '69 has succeeded in accomplishing.

Kathy Podd, a member of next year's board, expressed her ideas -concerning the next Regina Maris when she stated that "a lot of co-operation from all classes is needed to make it a success, especially in the areas of finances and in the field of pictures."

The hard work which goes into the planning and writing of the yearbook · ceases to end, the Class of 1969 has just completed their edition and the class of 1970 has just begun.

View And Review

By MARY to m en with great tenderness and enthusiasm.

- he is m er ely a man who rejoices in the spirit of life that is in him. Wordswor th w ould hardly disapprove of the paraphrase since it is here applied to Peter Beagle. He is a poet in the broad sense of the ~ord who has written an uncommonly beautiful and enthusiastic second novel.

The Last Unicorn echoes all t :q.e guests that man has ever made: Don Quixote's search for beauty, Arthur's seeking of Camelot, the Hobbits journey in Middle Earth.

The story is simple enough.

The unicorn who is very old and very beautiful lives in a lilac wood of eternal springtime. But she begins to feel that she must find others like her. When she leaves her forest, she meets creatures who tell her that she is, after all, the last unicorn.

'She is joined . in the quest (for she knows that the unicorns are somewhere - after all everyone knows that unicorns are immortal) by Schmendrick the Magician who is a failure at magic, and Molly Grue, who personifies all the traits of womanhood. All three are seeking themselve.s ; and the .quest has its nightmares, its comedy, its real, its imaginary. All coexist with the poetry of much of Mr. Beagle's prose.

The fantastic juxtapositions prove his artistry. Peter Beagle makes this fantastic work: not as a children's fairy tale but as as an adult's sensitive question.

As in all true quests, we end up looking at ourselves and within our own hearts.

"We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream," Schmendrick counsels the Unicorn. The magician is always surprising us, for he is A poet speaks

Sophomore Spanish Major To Work In Latin America Mary Amedeo '71 will be one of 60 students from various American colleges and universities to spend the summer in Bogata, Columbia in co-ordination with tl:le Saint Louis University work-study program.

According to the stipulations of the program Mary will study at Javierana University while living with a host family. At the same time she will be actively involved in a social action pr oject dealing with the poor of the community.

Mary, a Spanish major, feels that the experience will provide a valuab e insight into the workings of another country. As she has said, "I will be submerged in a new culture. This will ,g ive me an opportunity to increase my skills in Spanish and at the same time to develop an understanding of the South American people."

n ever wha t he is. H e is selfish for the Unicorn is his only chance to prove his m agic real yet he saves her and st a ys with her even when he know s that nothing will happen to his magic.

Of the human beings on the quest, JVIolly Grue •is probably most wha t she seems. She alone can touch the Unicorn, she alone can see what Schmendrick cannot.

The quest has a fairy tale ending, but it is more than an unrealistic attempt at a fairy tale, more than just -poetry. It is what myths and legends and idylls have always been - the expression of man's longing to seek Truth and Beauty and the !finding of himself in the process.

Current Film Series Unfolds Black Story

Sigma Officers Attend Confab Catherine Dolan '69 and Kathy Podd '70 · represented Salve Regina at the biannual Sigma Phi Sigma convention that was held this year on April 18, 19, and 20 at Gwynedid College, Gwynedid Valley, Pennsylvania. "Enrichment through Involvement" wa.s the theme of the convention.

With this topic in mind the individuals participated in discussions on the problems of the city relating to the ethnic, religious, and racial aspects.

It was discovered that the seven Mercy colleges which belong to Sigma have active alumnae .g roups. Cathy Dolan the President of Sigma at Salve noted that this would be difficult on the Newport campus because the student body when they graduate do not live near the College. "Sigma on Salve's campus" Cathy said "is not meant to be an active organization." The purpose of our chapter is to recognize the combihation of academic achievement, fidelity, and service to the college. Miss Dolan feels that Sigma at Salve is meant to be more of an honor to girls who sometimes go unnoticed while they add a great deal to the· progress of the College.

On April 28th elections were held for the officers of the school year beginning in September 1969. At this time Kathy Podd became President, Elizabeth Ellis, Vice-president, and Mary Ellen Litwin, Secretary-Treasurer.

Plans were also formulated for the induction of new members on May 5th.

Sister Mary Andrea Martell

Faculty Member To Tour Germany Sister Andrea Martell, R.S.M., a member of the English and German departments at Salve, ha.s been cho..sen to participate in a study abroad program this summer. Sister Andrea will accompany twenty-three other persons on the ten week trip to Germany which will include both study and travel, extending from June 5 until August 14. The purpose of. this program is to provide first-hand experience and information of the German people, their culture, and specifically to improve their facility of the German language.

The first seven weeks . the group will take courses at the University of Bamberg in Northern Bavaria. Accommodations have been arranged for each to live with a German family during their period of study. To permit opportunities for travel; their courses have been scheduled allowing for week-end tours and trips to Heidelburg, Vienna, Munich, East Berlin, and West Berlin. The itinerary of these trips is set up in a way which will be beneficial in acquiring an overall view of the different aspects of German society, mainly politically, business - wise, culturally, and socially.

The remaining three weeks will be concentrated on a private tour by bus through Northern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Salve has recently acquired a new dormitory, Brittaney House, which is located on Annandale Road. The mansion will house 42 students.

The current academic upheaval taking ·place at colleges and universities across the country demanding black studies programs, is the natural result of the black students' drive for selfidentity. A new film series, Black Heritage, tells it like it is and was for blacks to blacks and whites.

Holt, Rinehart and Winston has been authorized to market films of the series, BLACK HERITAGE: A IDSTORY OF AFRO-AMERICANS, now appearing on WCBS-TV six mornings a week. The series was jointly produced by Columbia Univez:sity and WCBS-TV and consists of 108 half-hour programs which have been converted to 16mm films. Thirty-one leading scholars, artists, historians and social activists, including Lerone Bennett, Charles Hamilton, St. Clair Drake, Vincent Harding, James Farmer, and Benjamin Quarles, unravel the intricate black experience.

This is the first comprehensive and professionally-compiled AfTo-American History. The prints, available to colleges and universities, have special relevance for those institutions emphasizing black studies and courses in history and sociology.

In this vital lecture format supplemented by historical and contemporary graphics, Black Heritage looks at every aspect of the black experience: the ancient city-states of Kilwa; the agonizing experience called the slave trade; the irony of American colonies claiming rights of independence and revolution while holding black men in bondage; black participation in the Civil War; the role of Blacks in the Industrial Revolution and Westward Expansion; black life in America today. It is a probing and honest analysis of the conflicts and achievements of such Blacks as Sojourner Truth, Denmark Vesey, David Walker, Marcus Gar.vey, Malcolm X, Ida B. Wells, Henry Highland Garnet, and Martin Luther King, Jr. "Black Heritage," says Vincent Harding, "is not simply . . . an exercise in story-telling or an exercise in pointless pride. Those of us who will participate understand Black Heritage to be part of our contribution to the struggle of black people here and everywhere towards a new kind of freedom and liberation."

Professor Vincent Harding, History and Sociology Depart- , ment Head at Spelman College, is Chairman of the Blacl{ Heritage Advisory Board. In the first film, Professor Harding defines the Series: "Black Heritage is us as a people coming to ourselves in this, our own generation, asking questions like, how did we get here, who were we before we came, what are the the next steps before us ? Black Heritage is the last stage in our ancient struggle."

. . . unless you find that college is an expense for you.

Salve Regina is a small Liberal Arts College in comparison with some other colleges. But regardless of size, the costs are comparable and Salve does depend on government funds to help you pay for your college education.

At this time we find ourselves needing more funds and getting less. Look at the figures of the P!LSt two academic years and the prospects for 1969-70 on the government programs:

Sister Mary Jean Tobin

Sister Mary Jean Plans To Study in British Isles Sister Mary Jean Tobin, Head of the English Department, will spend a · portion of the summer studying and touring in Europe.

She will be travelling with a group of fourteen students and teachers under the direction of Brother Lawrence L u s s i e r , C. S.C. of Hendricken High School. Among the students will be Kathy Quinn and Loreen Golini from Salve.

According to the proposed schedule, Sister will study British Government, English Literature, and Fine Arts at the University of London during the month of July. There will also be planned field trips in the London area and a weekend spent in Shakespeare Country. At the end Of their four week session the group will tour the British Isles and visit Paris before returning home. Sister M. Jean, however, plans on extending her trip to include a stay in Lourdes and in Rome.

For 1969-70 the prospects look quite dim for all three programs although actual figures are not yet available for us to use. Do you depend on a National Defense Student Loan to attend Salve? Note the decrease. Suppose your request for funds is cut in half. Where will you make up the difference? The average Loan for 1968-69 was $700. For 1969-70 the average Loan may be $350 - a great reduction for you.

If you are a student who needs a National Defense Student Loan, I suggest that you make this known to your state representatives in Washington, D. C. so that the reduction of NDSL funds will not become a reality.

Your parents may be even mor'l concerned about this financial crisis in higher education. If you think so, clip this report and send it to them.

Student Council Officers Chosen For Coming Year

, Salve' Aids . y Head Start

The newly elected Student Council Officers are (1-r) Peggi Pierce, Treasurer; Marifran Kelly, President; Maureen Daley, Vice-President; and Carolyn Reder, Secretary.

By PATRICIA CADIGAN The recent Student Council elections have brought to the forefront Marifran Kelly as President, Maureen Daley as Vice President, Carolyn Reder as Secretary, and Peggi Pierce as Treasurer. These are the girls elected to represent the Salve Student Body for the academic year of 1969-1970.

The newly elected president, Marifrances Kelly, has a substantial background in the Salve community. She was treasurer of her class, and the chairman of the Junior Fund Raising Project.

She has also been a member of this newspaper and has worked in various political campaigns.

Marifran is a History major and Education minor. As president, Marifran wants to represent the wishes and desires of the student body; to be a spokesman and guide in order to help enact the legislation the student body requests. Marifran's optimism for next year is reflected in her quote, "The future is ours if we want it hard enough." This, she feels, is Salve's great potential.

Maureen Daley.

Maureen Daley, Vice-President elect, is a commuter and is majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry. Because of her interest in research and oceanography, after graduation she hopes to attend the University of Hawaii and continue in her field.

Maureen has been very involved in Salve in that she was on Student Council for three years and she is the representative of the Biology Department of the Academic Affairs Committee while also serying as its Chairman.

She has also -participated in Glee Club, the Dramatic Club, the Biology Club and the Commuters Club. As Vice-President Maureen wants to stay involved and in · contact with everybody, especially since she feels that "This year there has been a pulling together by evetyone for one main objective and with the continuance of

this spirit of unity, then Salve could offer more not only to the Salve community but to the outside community also."

Carolyn Reder, the Secretary elect of Student Council, is a Sociology major and Political Science minor and plans eventually to do Social Work. Carolyn has previously been very active on campus in such areas as VicePresident of Miley 3 North House Council and thereby a member of the Judiciary Court, the basketball team, Action Core, Headstart and the Grape Boycott. In view of her new position, Carolyn believes that, "Representing the Student Body is the most important part of the office, especially now when we want to develop the potential of the school and particularly since the developement of Salve's potential would lead to expansion into the community, Rhode Island, and the national world of colleges."

Peggi Pierce, 'Salve's treasurer for 1969-7.0, is an English major and Education minor with the hope of going into guidance counseling. Peggi served as President of her floor at Miley, writer for Ebb Tide, and a co-ordinator of such activities as Nocturne, Father-Daughter Weekend, CoEd Day, ''Salve lives" campaign, and the Seal Committee. As treasurer, Peggi will be the chairman of the budget committee which in turn allots the money to the clubs. Peggi would also like to increase the Student Council treasury in order to have a more effective student government. She would do this by suggesting Student Council sponsor some social affairs during the year. When discussing Salve's potential Peggi said, "The elimination of the dress code is an example of the new avenues being opened, so the girls can express themselves as individuals to show their responsibility and to contribute to Salve's growth."

Salve Regina College

By PEGGI PIERCE In the summer of 1965 Project Head Start got underway. The program, which was part of President Johnson's War on Poverty, ·was designed to give special preparation to underprivileged children the year prior to their first year in kindergarten or first grade. The first year of its existence 500,000 children in the nation's slums and in rural poverty pockeui were trained so that adaptation to the "school world" would not be extremely difficult . .

Here in Newport a Head Start program was also established in the summer of 1965. The first one was conducted by the Children's Home. It was so successful that the area deemed it necessary to continue the program through the school year. The problem of who would run the program was raised.

Sister Mary Christopher, then head of Salve's sociology department, had been active in the antipoverty work of the community, and she realized the need for the continuance of Head Start. She brought the problem to the college and, with the help of many of our faculty, Salve Regina delegated an agency to act within the college.

Salve Regina was able to match the funds appropriated by the Office of Economic Opportunity, which finances the bulk of Head Start, with our donated services and office space. The administration of this agency was set up in Angelus Hall, and Judy Brissette, a former graduate of the college, was named director of the Head Start program in Newport. It, however, is still part of the Community Action Agency in Newport, although its office is within the college.

To many people's surprise Head Start is not essentially an educational program. It was designed for the socialization of impoverished pre-school children. At St. Paul's Methodist Parish House, Newport and St. Mary's Episcopal Parish House, Portsmouth, sixty children are given educational, medical, dental, nutritional, and psychological services the year rouna, while the summer programs conducted in Newport, Tiverton, and Portsmouth accommodate 130. Since there are a great number of children who respond to this, the program hopes to increase its enrollment in the near future.

The staff is made up of mostly volunteers, although there are several paid positions. Some of these salaried jobs are that of teachers' aides, case aides, etc., which are given to adults in a low income category.

Aside from establishing and housing Newport's Head Start program, Salve Regina also participates in other ways. For instance, the nursing students in pediatrics observe the nursery Continued on Page 6

Spotlight: Mary Kay Segar

Mary Kay Segar

By KAREN GROSS "The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on." (Walter Lippman). To this may be added that leadership involves diplomacy, tact, intelligence, poise, dignity, and sociability. Mary Kay Segar, serving in the capacity of President of the Student Council, may well be regarded as an outstanding leader at Salve Regina.

Aside from the active role she has played in the Student Government, Mary Kay has managed to maintain a Deans List average for seven consecutive semesters. Contributing to her scholastic recognition, she has been elected to Sigma Phi Sigma, Delta Epsilon Sigma, and Kappa Gamma Phi. Her plans after graduation? . . . to further her studies in biology at either Boston University, Boston College, or the University of Connecticut.

When asked what qualities she felt to be important for a Student Council President to possess, Mary Kay readily replied "diplomacy and tact are essential." She expressed, in addition, that the President, during the Student Council meetings, should have her own opinions but remain open and objective to all points of <view in order to gain "the' respect of all members of the Student Council."

"The poise and dignity of a President shouldn't be false," she added, "for they must be genuine in order to gain student respect." Mary Kay also felt that a Student Council President should not neglect her academic role as a student, · should strive to meet as many members of other classes as possible, and should make an effort to have Salve known through a diversity of ways.

In evaluating the accomplishments of Student Council this year, Mary Kay stated "we achieved a solid foundation through awareness, unification and interest." She also commended the role which the students played for "it would be futile for us (the Student Council) to be sincere and not have the student body follow us." The

students, she added, "are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in."

Although Mary Kay; felt that year was most successful in its "Salve Live" Campaign, Project Hope, and in establishing the Academic Affairs Committee, College Council as a legislating body, and Who's Who in American Colleges on campus, she would have liked to discuss more "intellectual ideas in Student Council." "We had to solve basic problems at home first," she said, "only after this can we begin to extend ourselves."

As to be expected from such an enthusiastic individual as Mary Kay, she is most "sentimental about leaving." "We did things together . .. it was theirs (the student body) not just ours." To Mary Kay, a million thanks would be insufficient for the endless amount of time and effort she has sacrificed. She has, indeed, proved herself a devout leader who has given of herself these past two semesters and who holds ··• great expectations" for Salve next year.

Fellowships Awarded For Special Education Nine Salve students have been awarded graduate fellows,h ips or undergraduate traineeships, each financed by a federal program for the training of administrators and teachers of handicapped children. The announcement was made by William P. Robinson, Jr., state commissioner of education in Rhode Island.

Two Salve graduates, Mary Langhorn and Kathy McMahan, have each received fellowships in the amount of $2,200 plus $600 for each dependent. Recipients of senior year undergraduate traineeships with stipends of $800 are Sheila Mara and Constance MoBrier. Junior year traineeships, each with a stipend of $300, were awarded to Margaret Centracchio, Catherine Crimaldi, Margaret Ferguson, Mary Ann Marcello, and Sister Anne Marie Picard.

New Faculty Continueq from Page 1 Boston University. Also to join the Psychology department is Dr. Patricia Fontes. Dr . Fontes earned her Ph.D. from Boston College and is presently instructing at the University of Rhode .

It just seems hard to believe that here at Salve some have undertaken the task of revising the age old adages to "Do judge a book by it's cover" and "Clothes do make the man."

Student Nurses Receive Honors Salve's student Nurses have been quite active on the state and national level, as well as here on campus. On Thursday,.

May 15, a group left for the National Student Nurses Association Convention in Detroit, Mich-· igan. The three day convention included student nurses from all over the United States. Those· representing Salve were Diane Danis and Fran Kozma, juniors, Kathy Duffy, Jane Krywinski, Jeanne Roy, and Lynn Zimmerman, sophomores,1 and Mary DeMarino, a freshman.

Jane Krywinski and Maureen ,McCormack were recently the recipients of $100 checks for their essays, '.'What Nursing Means to Me." The award was given by the •S tudent NursesAssociation of Rhode Island.

Several Salve students were recently elected to offices in S.N .A.R.I. Fran Kozama is the new First Vice President and Lynn Zimmerman, Second Vice President. Also elected were Diane Danis, Recording Secretary and two freshman, Trudy Bowen and Barbara Carrol, Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer.

The Student Nurses Organization here on campus recently held their elections also. Sue Bonneau, a Sophomore, will head the group as President. Two o.ther Sophomores, Diane Ankner and Gerry Higgins, will serve as Vice President and Recording Secretary, respectively. Steph· anie Bowler and Dale Bellida, both Freshmen, were chosen Corresponding Secretary and Treas· urer.
