ETS Sponsors Test Program For Teachers Princeton, New Jersey. College seniors preparing to teach school m~y take the National Examinations on any of the four different test dates announced today 'by Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit, educational organization which prepares and administers this testing program. Results of the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts as one o~ several factors in the selection of new teachers and by several states for certification or licensing of teachers . .Some colleges also require all seniors preparing to teach to take the examinations. The school systems and state departments of education which use the examination results are designated in the Bulletin of Information for Candidates. On each full day of testing, prospective teachers may take the Common Examinations, which measure their professional preparation and general cultural background, and a Teaching Area Examination which measures mastery of the sub· ject they expect to teach. Prospective teachers should contact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken. The Bulletin of Information for Candidates contains a list of test centers, and information about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form. Copies may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel departments, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Box 911, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.

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" was 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 groups. 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 combination of academic achievement, fidelity, and ser-v ice 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. These members are seniors Mary Ford, Rita Gallant, Diane Guillet, Mary Helen Kolkmeyer, Kathleen Riley; Juniors Maureen Dolan, Dianne Danis, Elizabeth Ellis, Joanne Gauthier, Carmella Lepore, Catherine Litwin; Sophomores Barbara Carrillo, Ruth Dupuy, Mary Ellen Litwin, Melva Ward, and Mary L. Zimmerman. At the induction ceremony held in Ochre Court, Sister Mary Christopher, the president of the college, greeted the new members. Sister Kathleen O'Connell spoke on the role of the woman in today's society. After the ceremony, refreshments were served in the State Dining Room.

for s'?me years, this past summer of 1969 marked a grand expansion and a great step forward. Whereas last summer 123 students were enro~led in courses, the number this summer was' expanded to approximately 600 students enrolled in cours~s with another 400 people participating in three to four day institutes. In all, approximately 1,000 participants walked across the grounds of Salve Regina College. With regard to interesting statistics approximately 100 faculty and institute participants were involved and 53 courses were offered al~ng with 13 institutes. A center for Portuguese studies had its beginning this summer with 60 students attending classes ranging from Portuguese conversation to Portuguese culture. Beyond this, Salve Regina College bore the distinction of having the largest creative arts program in the state with a variety of well known faculty and courses such as drawing, painting, photography, print making, art education, sculpturing, and film. Innovative and exciting institutes were held. Among these were the First Annual New England Institute on Art Therapy, an Institute on Marine Biology and an Institute for the Humanities in Education. Also, the First Annual Governor's Conference on Crime, Delinquency and Criminal Justice took place ~n campus August 25-27. In order to produce a summer program of this· calibre, much time, initiative, and perseverance were r~quired. It is largely due to the efforts of Dr. Lester Carr, Dean of the Summer School, that Salve Regina College was heralded as an unusually progressive and community oriented college and was scored for its contributions to community service.

View and Review By MARY ANNE TIERNEY James Simon Kunen, author of The Strawberry Statement, is quick to advise the reader that, at the age of nineteen, he does not consider himself an author and will probably never write another book. (It should be noted, however, that he is presently working on his second). The Strawberry Statement, subtitled "Nptes of a College Revolutionary," was written by the Columbia University student in 1968 and in his own words, "simply relates little things I've done and thought. It may seem completely irrelevant to Columbia. That's the way it goes." This extremely perceptive, and often very amusing work, gives the reader an insight into what · is going on in the minds of the students at the riot-sieged university. It mirrors the fears and anxieties of this progressive generation which are brought about by war, racism, poverty and even their very own affluence. Keeping in mind the fact that its historical significance is somewhat dubious, The Strawberry Statement is highly rec~mmend­ ed for enjoyable reading.

Today has been set aside as a day of moral condemnation of the war in VietNam. The value of such a day does not lie soleiy in the negation of the war. · Rather, WORK FOR PEACE has promoted an awareness of the facts and initiated a positive unified !esponse. ·: . :

Awareness, responsiveness, and unity are inherent in the program offered by Salve Regina.

Student· Congress Notes By CAROLYN REDER

In the continuing e~orts of dur.Student Congress to establish a rapport. with Providence College, th~ Salve Regina student goverrunent hosted a dinner and discussion with the P.C. student leaders ·on Wednesday, October 1. UnfortUnately, in the past, the intercollegiate experience between our' two schools has been p1agued with misunderstanding and unwar~anted generali'zations. Therefore, the "clear-the-air" meeting was opened with frank comments concerning prevalent attitudes which tend to cloud the social scene. The "typical" Salve girl or P.G. boy simply does not exist and the gro4p set out to develop concrete and positive methods to dispel negative attitudes on our respective campuses. Mutual cooperation both culturally and socially became the springboard to improve our camp~s relations. The' Cowl and The Ebb Tide were noted as being our best fonns of communication. Benefit would • be found in publishing the combined social calendars of Providence and Salve, thereby reaching the greatest portion of each student bpdy. DORM P,ARTIES

It.\vas felt that working more · closely on the dormitory level would provide an alternative ·to the mixer, in the form of smaller dorm parties. A file listingthe donnitories, number of residents and their academic year will be provided for the social committee of each: school. In this way if a dorm at P.C. wishes to hold a party for 1imited· numbers, the social chairman within the dorm can ch~ck the Sahre listings and invite the dorm which corresponds -'i n size and academic year. Cultural and academic events are prime objects for intercollegiate cooperation between Salve and Providence College. Members of O'!lr Student Congress felt . co-sponsored films and speakers. would be advantageous to ~ college of Salve's size. ·In a co~bined effort we could draw speakers who would not ordinarily be available to SaJve working independently. CO-EDUCATION

Co-education is a continuing interest on both campuses. Prese~tly there is thought being put into a co-educational program of night classes. The program has been initiated. These group effort~ must be combined with individual optimism and cooperation in developing a beneficial association between Salve Regina and Providence College_. ·

Work For Peace is not a politil:al issue; it is a moral condemnation of the war. Its purpose is to make people aware of the facts and to urge them to take a strong personal stand. This moratorium, as it is called, is being enjoined on people from all walks of life: public officials, students, laborers, clergy, administration, and civic -minded individuals. The Vietnam War is a serious moral issue. Work For Peace is the opportunity for concerned citizens to voice their feelings and, as stated by Father Haas, President of Providence Cpllege, have "an examination of conscience."

Along with the core faculty there are another dozen professors who will serve as consultants to the department. The team plans a very student orien_. tated program in an interdisciplinary approach. Another endeavor of the Psychology Department materialized this summer when Salve received a substantial federal grant and was declared the Rhode Island center for PoliceCommunity Relations. Approxi ... mately 85 policemen have already been involved in sensitivity training through the Psychology Department. The Psychology Department is also deeply involved in helping to develop a comprehensive Special Services Regional Center that will serve all the school children in Newport County. Hopefully the center will open January 1, 1970 and occupy space in the Mother of Hope Novitiate in Portsmouth.

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" w as 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 groups. 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 combination 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. These members are seniors Mary Ford, Rita Gallant, Diane Guillet, Mary Helen Kolkmeyer, Kathleen Riley; Juniors Maureen Dolan, Dianne Danis, Elizabeth Ellis, Joanne Gauthier, Carmella Lepore, Catherine Litwin; Sophomores Barbara Carrillo, Ruth Dupuy, Mary Ellen Litwin, Melva Ward, and Mary L. Zimmerman. At the induction ceremony held in Ochre Court, Sister Mary Christopher, the president of the college, greeted the new members. Sister Kathleen O'Connell spoke on the role of the woman in today's society. After the ceremony, refreshments were served in the State Dining Room.

Historic Ochre Court Echoes MOtto: From Splendor, Beauty

In the era of the "400", in the years of its grandeur, and at the peak of its reign, Ochre Court stood as one of the finest homes on Ochre Point. The 50 room, French Gothic Mansion was built for Ogden Goelet in 1890 as a wedding present for his wife, Mary Wilson. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt designer of the "Breakers," and the base 'of the Statue of Liberty, the $4,500,000 building was the first house on Newport's famous Cliff Walk. The theme of pleasure pervades the house through the mythological Venus and Bacchus who governed Love and the flow of Wine in the days of Ancient Greece. Q-reat Hall The most impressive feature in the house is the Great Hall ·with its enormous fireplace surmounted by the motto of the Goelet family - From Splendor, Beauty. The motif of the cygnet (swan), the symbol of the Goelet family, and the Fleur de Lis, that of the French Monarchy s;lominates the wall decorations. The exquisite ceiling painting depicts the banquet of the gods and the homage of the earth. Two other outstanding masterpieces present in the Great Hall are the Atlas Table and the stained-glass window. The table, made of I( Brescia marble, is of great value and bears the design of a Greek key beneath its top. Overlooking the majestic hall is the stained glass window, one of the German Spitzen collection speculated to have been taken from a cathedral during the time of the Reformation. It depicts

God the Father in the center of the picture, holding a scroll of commandments. Accentuating the pan e 11 e d walls of the elaborate Slate Dining Room are ;Florentine Point overdrapes which give a rose red effect. At one time the goddesses Diana and Endymion, who are represented on the ceiling painting, looked down upon the original Gobelin Tapestry which has since been replaced by another of excellent craftsmanship. The massive double fireplace, done in high relief, is a smiling Bacchus. Above. the mantle is an original picture from the Dutch Masters. Bailroom Becomes Chapel The ballroom, now used as the Chapel, has a ceiling painting said to be from Tannhauser. The mirrors and gold leaf, incorporating mythological subjects as motifs, make it a Grand Hall in the style of Versailles. The gleam and glitter of the party .lights had dimmed, and on March 20, 1947, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goelet presented their magnificent estate to His Excellency,_ Most Reverend Francis P. Keough, Bishop of Providence, to be used for education. The deeds were transferred to Mother Mary Matthew Doyle, R.S. M., then Provincial of the Sisters of Mercy of the Provine"! of Providence. Today, Ochre Court, the center of the 15 buildings comprising the campus of Salve Regina College, sets the tone for its cultural and intellectual pursuits. Editors Note: This Is the first of a series of articles to be written on the history and growth of Salve Regina College.

Federal ·Aid Now Offered To Eligible College Students As the cost of education increases, the demand and need for financial aid becomes greater. Many students at ·Salve Regina now take advantage of the financial aid programs. Three federally sponsored programs are presently available at Salve Regina College. The government sets certain stipulations for eligibility for the Educational Opportunity Grant. Students interested in this and in other forms of financial aid should consult Sister Mary Marcella, director of financial aid . The National Defense Student Loan offers special benefits to those planning to enter the teaching profession. Repayment of the loai). begins nine months after -g raduation at an interest rate of 3% . Ten per cent of the principal and interest is cancelled for each year of teaching, up to 50 % of the loan. 'If the student decides to teach the retarded or in certain schools for the disadvantaged specified by the government, 15% of the loan is cancelled each year. Work Study Program Another type of government aid is the College Work Study Program. To help meet financial needs, the student is employed on. campus or by private or public non-profit organizations . In this program, 80% of the wages are paid by the government and 20 % by the college. In order to be eligible for these types of financial aid, the student must submit a Parents' Confidential Statement to Princeton, New Jesey. Financial need is determined each year on the basis of this statement. Students must submit a Renewal Parents' Confidential Statement each year in December . The renewal formals are available in the Business Office. Applications for jobs should be com-

in the spring as they are processed during the summer months. Nursing Student Loans are available under the Public Health Service Act. The goal is to increase the opportunities for youth. seeking careers in nursing by providing long-term, lowinterest loans and scholarships to students who are in need of such assistance. · The Guaranteed Loan, another type of financial aid, is obtained through the students' banks at a comparatively low interest rate . The federal government pays interest to the bank while the student is in college. The loan is due and payable over a period of years after graduation. Funds Cut Back This year the government has cut back the initial funds for the Educational Grants, the NDSL, the Nursing Student Loan, and the Guaranteed Bank Loans, making it difficult for many students to obtain the money needed for further education. The lack of EOG funds has been particularly devastating to freshmen and pre-freshmen in the lowerincome brackets. An emergency Guaranteed Loan Program bill providing an "incentive allowance" to local banks to make loans to college students, was passed by the House on Sept. 15. It was proposed by the Administration as an emergency measure to prevent student loans from being curtailed now that the prime interest rate is so high. Sister Mary Marcella, director of financial aid1 urges students to write to their congressmen in support of student aid bills. Sister will post reminders on the bulletin boards at Miley and O'Hare when such support would be particularly effective, she stated.

In That Shining Place, Mark Van Doren writes from an inward balance, converting his reader by soft words. These poems are a zephyr, not a whirlwind, insinuating themselves by their intricacy, clarity, deftness and controlled vigor into the soul. They creep, like Sandburg's fog, on eat's feet. They pervade and enchant. There is no blaring or bravado, merely serenity. What he writes of his first letter, is true of the entire book : "The breath falters, listening." Published on Van Doren's seventy-fifth birthday, these seventyfive pieces concern a vast expanse of human experience. Ghosts, trees, wind, death, admirat!on and love are topics and themes of the book. In "Ghosts Boy" he startles: "Took off his cap and sat down - And disappeared in a sudden mist ... although I hear Somedays a bell ring, Sometimes a pencil tap." Most of the poems utter stern wisdom. An Indian hunter prays: "On your s m a II e s t bones we feasted. May you not be too much missed, Youngest one That trotted last." Nearly every page similarly troubles the reader's depths. It seems quite certain that Van Doren has somewhere fulfilled the longing expressed in the opening poem "Slowly, Slowly Wisdom Gathers" in which he hopes to envision the whole "Face up, be. tween the earth and sky, And know what none has known before . Then I would tell as best I could The secrets of that shining place." It is fitting that the book closes with a sequence of eleven pieces entitled "Psalms." They are genuine prayers and indicate part of the reason why one may say of Van Doren what he wrote of Archibald MacLeish on that sage's seventy-fifth birthday "that blazing man."

Letters Continued from Page 2 if a representative takes the initiative of sponsoring that legislation. This process gives ·you, the students we represent, a more effective voice also. Now you can go to your individual representative with an idea. She then formulates a bill, obtains a cosponsor, researches the legislation and presents it to Congress. We feel that besides being quicker this process is more democratic. The ideas are initiated by you, the students, and we, as your representatives, become the instruments by which your ideas are presented to those who can act upon them. Furthermore, we intend to hold periodic student body meetings so you can voice your ideas at an open forum. Above this we seek to have all you who so desire to attend our meetings. Here you can suggest things that can perhaps be acted upon immediately. Student Government is an honor, a challenge, and a responsibility . I think that I can speak for all the members of Student Congress when I say that we cherish that honor, accept that challenge, and above all welcome that responsibility. It is too early now to promise you certain things. We will not promise until we can make that promU!e a reality because we take our promises most seriously. However, this we can pledge: unending devotion to you and to our office. This year must be the most far reaching for Salve. We are reminded of the words of the Greek poet Aescylus, the words Robert Kennedy used in many of his speeches "Some people see things as they are and ask why. I see things that never were and ask why not." "Why not" will be the Student Congress' main question this year. · Thank you, Marifran Kelly President of Student Congress

with the current interest in drugs throughout the nation, the subject of the illegality of marijuana arises . and is challenged. The following students and faculty member were posed with the question, "Do you think that the smoking of marijuana should be treated as a federal offense?"

Helen Howard '70 said: "If punishments were measured according to the destructiveness of the crime, those who indulge themselves frequently with alcoholic beverages to the neglect of their families and themselves should be duly punished as those who possess and smoke pot. The question, I believe, is not the worthiness of pot smoking as an

offense to society, but whether its possession and smoking can be justified as a felony when alcoholism and child neglect are considered idiosyncrasies of an industrial and space-exploration age."

Pat Dwyer '71 made the following remark. "It should not be a felony. The state should not interfere in a person's private life. Drug use, in itself, is not a hazard to ~ociety. The state should interfere only when a crime is committed against a person 0 r his property by another person. An individual is responsible for his own actions and the state should not become involved with a person's treatment of himself." Carol Motta, a member of . the class of '72, believes that "marijuana smoking is just a phase that many youths are going through . It is brought on by many pressures, domestic and otherwise . When a boy is convicted of possession of marijuana, he is marked as a criminal for his whole life with no rights. Many of these law offenders are intelligent and well brought up. I believe a felony charge is too rigid for such a controversial issue as this."

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" was 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 combination 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. These members are seniors Mary Ford, Rita Gallant, Diane Guillet, Mary Helen Kolkmeyer, Kathleen Riley; Juniors Maureen Dolan, Dianne Danis, Elizabeth Ellis, Joanne Gauthier, Carmella Lepore, Catherine Litwin; Sophomores Barbara Carrillo, Ruth Dupuy, Mary Ellen Litwin, Melva Ward, and Mary L. Zimmerman. At the induction ceremony held in Ochre Court, Sister Mary Christopher, the president of the college, greeted the new members. Sister Kathleen O'Connell spoke on the role of the woman in today's society. After the ceremony, refreshments were served in the State Dining R-oom.
