Salve Regina's Fine Arts Committee sets this weekend, February 23 to 25 as the second special entertainment weekend of the 1972-73 scholastic year. "We are not planning as many activities as in 'the Fall," said Regina Tracy, Fine Arts Committee chairman. "It might be logical to call this one our minieffort." Frank Walsh, folk singer and guitarist, performs from eight to twelve midnight (Friday) at the Boathouse, Salve Regina's coffee house. On Saturday and Sunday, the National Gallery of Art film series, "Pioneers of Modern Painting," will be shown at ten and eleven a.m. Painters Monet, Manet Cezanne, and Munch are featured in this series. The film showings, at O'Hare Academic Center, are free and open to the public. Sisler Marianne Postiglione's "Mass of Hope" is the Liturgy for Saturday at five p.m. and Sunday, 11:15 a.m. Salve Regina's J;>laywriting Workshop features three one act
plays by participating students, on Saturday. Liz Morcusson's "The Rainy Day Kid Kit," "It" by La1.1rie Maurer, and "Thursday Morning" by Brenda Schoolfield are the plays, under the direction of Miss Joan David, assistant- professor of English and Dramatics. The recently remodelled theater section of the Creative Arts building (formerly Mercy Hall) is the scene of the Saturday performance. In the evening on Saturday, a joint concert of the Salve Regina Glee Club and the men's Glee Club of St. Michael's College, Winooski Park, Vermont is scheduled for Ochre Court, at eight p.m. The featured number is "Song of Democracy" by Howard Hanson, directed by Dr. William Tortelano from St. Michael's College. The work is built around the poem by Walt Whitman. Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m., the Warwick Brass Quintet performs at Ochre Court. This unique concert is free to the College community, $.50 for other students; and $1.00 for guests.
Alumnae Champagne Show Preview Spring F'ashi~ns A Champagne Fashion Show is scheduled for Ochre Court, Wednesday, March 14 at 8:00 p.m. Sponsored by the Alumnae Association, the Program will feature Bunny North, former WJAR-TV personality. Mrs. North, currently Gladdings-Shepherd's fashion co-ordinator, will comment and direc't the showing of latest Spring fashions. In an effort to make the Fash-
ion Show a major social event of the campus semester, the admission price has been kept to $3.00 a person. Ann Marie Sweeney Barton ('62) and Helen Murphy Cahill ('62) are chairmen; Mary E. Connolly ('62) serves in an ex officio capacity. . \ For 'tickets, contact the Alumnae office, third floor- of Ochre Court, during business hours.
President 0 'Rourke Reflects Salve
Sister Mary Christopher O'Rourke, R.S.M., president of Salve Regina College for the past five years has announced her resignation from the position effective this June. "You know, there is no big reason for my resignation. It is just time for change; for myself, and for the all-around good of the college." In a recent interview Sister Christopher elaborated on her views of education today and on Salve in particular. Sister feels that a college presidency should extend for five year spans, as each five year period demands new insights. Any college presi.dent operates -under 't he myth of
stereotypes. Actually, presidents have very little power because they have too many publics. This responsibility to all factors introduces an element of constraint. Further difficulty evolves because 't hese multiple publics rarely communicate with one another. Communication on a:n levels is essential to the dispelling of the myth of stereotypes, and 't alking is the best means of communication in any situation. Sister Christopher believes that a college presidency is the mos't cha:llenging job in the country today, especially in small liberal arts colleges which are experiencing growing pains. Pres-
idents of such colleges must approach their positions with the basic philosophy that 'their schools wiU survive, and proceed from there. When ¡asked what qualities she would like to see in the new president of Salve Sister replied that ideally she would like 't o see a nun in the position for two pertinent reasons. Firstly, the president presents 'the image of the college, and a sister would best present the philosophical convictions of a college which is sponsored by a religious community. Secondly, Sr. Christopher would like to see a woman in the position as an affirmation (Continued on Page 4)

Editorial President Nixon's Budget for the fiscal year 1974 has caused some drastic effects for the support to nursing. Briefly the Budget cuts: all support for nursing research and research training that has been funded by the Division of Nursing; traineeship support, long term and short term, is to be terminated; Scholarships for nursing students are to be cut from the current level of $19.5 million to $11.0 million; Capitation grants to schools of nursing are to be cut in half for this year (January-June 1973) and deleted for fis~al 1974; construction grants are again to be omitted; recruitment grants and contracts are to have no money for 1974; special Project grants now in operation will probably be completed but no new ones will be funded. The results of this budget will include the dropping of students from undergraduate and graduate levels. Faculty ·supported on research will perhaps be let go, schools that have made a committment and increased there enrollment in anticipation of federal grants will be in deeper financial difficulties. Research in nursing and its impact on health care will be deeply affected. The American Nurses Association as a result has strnogly urged small groups of nurses to meet face-to-face with Congressmen and Senators · - also write letters to the editor of area papers, to the President, Secretary Weinberger at HEW.

Girls' Basketball Team Struggles To Win Support For still another year, Salve Regina College has. produced a strong girls' basketball team and thrown itself with great gusto into the rigors of college basketball competition. But so far, the opposition has proved to be a little too strong for our female stars. On February 1, the Salve girls did battle on the court with Emmanuel College in Boston but, despite a valiant attempt and a good game, Salve went down in defeat 69-4. Within five days, Salve's team was on the court fighting again. February 6th found the team in the gym of S.M.U. scoring against their girls' team. Again a good effort was put in, a great skill was displayed, but again Salve was defeated; this time to a score of 61 - 13.
HELP! Dear Reader: Yes, its true - Ebbtide hopefully will once again exist at Salve Regina College. However, it needs the help of all those who really care about more in life than just themselves, those who are unselfish enough to give up "a few hours of TV" and work for something worthwhile. Sure, a few people can put out a paper but then it really isn't your paper. So think about it and if you're interested in really doing something for a change come to the Ebbtide office. The Editors
But Salve's basketball 'team will not recognize the word "defeat". They continue their arduous practices at the Navy gym and even plan to appear on the court against different opposing teams at least five more times this season. Our team is also planning to play against the S.R.C. faculty on the twentyfifth of February. That should prove to be a most interesting game. All are invited! Salve's team' will try and try again - reaching for success. Good luck team ! ! ! But, it should be noted that the team is not a failure, rather the student body of S.R.C. There is no support for the team whatsoever! There is such apathy! No matter how hard the team plays it becomes very, very depressing to face an empty, silent cheering section. Where is your love for sports? · Your School Spirit? Salve's basketball team needs your support.

EBB TIDE Salutes Admissions Ebb Tide wishes to salute Sister Mary Audrey O'Donnell, Dean of admissions and her recruiting counselors, Sister Mary Noel Blute, R.S.M., Barbara Connolly and-Marlene Johnson. As of the last of the first semester, the latter three s~aff members had visited a total of 246 high schools in nine states and participate~ in 25 _ college nights. Eight reverse College Day. programs were also worked out, where guidance . counselors in groups met with recruiters. Sister Mary Audrey, although technically incapacited, in a heavy leg cast, continued to keep Admissions perking. Proof of this is the fact that we're presently running neck-in·neck with last year's total applications. Ebb Tide hopes, next month to publish a report on student recruiting efforts, as co-ordinated by Admissions. Meantime, the editorial staff feels that the exceptional efforts of these four women should be recognized publicly.

Joint Concert With St. Michael's Successful in Vermont For Salve Vermont in late February was both a challenge and enjoyment for the Salve Regina Glee Club and their February 17th Concert at St. Michael's College, Winooski Park. Salve Regina's contributions to the program, under the direc-· tion of Glenn N. Giuttari, follow:Husewlfery - Richard Winslow Tomorrow Shall Be M'y DancIng Day- John Gardner Emily Dickinson Mosaic Daniel Pinkham
Miss Diane Christy, class of '74, gave the Emily Dickinson readings. The Joint Chorus number was Howard Hanson's Song of Democracy, directed by Dr. William Tortolano of St. Michael's College Glee Club. It might be noted that the entire joint glee club presentation featured 20th century compositions. The Song of Democracy will also be performed at the Salve Regina College Joint Concert, February 24, in Newport.
New Community Education Brochure Aim.ed At Male High School Seniors A new brochure, aimed a't male graduating high school seniors is currently available in the Community Education office, second floor, Ochre Court. The brochure explains how a male high school senior (or any other member of the opposite sex) may earn a baccalaureate degree, through Salve Regina's Community Education Division.
The brochure contains information on majors and minors, as well as general admission requirements. Sister Marie Corrine Walsh, R.S.M., is Associate Dean of Community Education. If you have any friends who might be interested in the brochure, drop in and pick one or 'two up.
President O'R·ourke (Continued from Page 1) of today's need for equality of opportunity. Discrimination exists today in administration positions; a college president operates in a man's world, it is . a challenge for a woman to make her mark today. Commenting on her personal position at Salve, Sister expressed that the difficult thing about being president was that a pre~ ident is institution-oriented whereas she is person-oriented. She stated that she hated to leave teaching in the Sociology Dept., but she loved the college and recognized its need at that time. She feels that today, Salve Regina must make creative and innovative yet solid curriculum developments if we are to justify our existence. Sr. Christopher believes that Salve's advantage as a small institution is that it fosters an atmosphere of human interaction based on mutual respect. This in-
teraction is essential to the growth of each person. States Sister, "You see your best self only in the eyes of someone who loves you," and a person who is not loved never grows to their full potential." Therefore Salve provides for its members an atmosphere in which 't his potential can be feasibly recognized. The advise forwarded to the new president is simply "Be yourself, and let the chips fall where they may." Sister Christopher stated she had no definite plans for her sabbatic leave. When asked if she would return to Salve, Sister commented that in a way, Salve is her home, and she loves teaching, and thus, all things being equal, this consideration is a realistic one. She cites her religious community as having given her a great deal, and whatever she does, she hopes to give back to the community what it has given to her.
During its 197B-73 winter interim, Salve Regina College sponsored a cultural studies tour to Germany, Austria, and Czecholslovakia. The trip extended from December ~9 -January 17, and visited the cities of Munich and Heidelberg in Germany, Salzburg and Vienna in Austria, and Prague, Czechoslovakia. Participating in the tour were Mr. Glenn Giuttari, Chairman of the Creative Arts Department at Salve and co-ordinator of this trip, Mary Ellen Lange, a graduate of Salve Regina, and seven Salve students,· senior Cathy Morrissey; juniors, Angi DeOrchis, Arlene Sakovick, and Sharon Wilcox; and sophomores, Micki Kalkus, Priscilla Hillman, and Terri Kubitschek. The following series of articles is a c o m b i n a t i o n of impressions gathered by Terri, during those three weeks in Europe.
-
It could have been days, or perhaps only minu't es later that we were flying over Luxemborg, but it didn't matter anymore because the · sun was shining and we were really in Europe. As we travelled by bus to Germany, we passed through scattered villages - some composed of only a dozen buildings. Eacb one, regardless of its size, had a cafe and a chapel.
-GERMANYWe approached the German border to the sound of firecrackers in a pre-New Year's celebration. The border guard who checked our passes was a fatherly, ruddy complexioned old man, with a real twinkle in his eye. This was hardly the kind of German soldier I had expected! -MUNICH-
It isn't every day that the chance to see Europe falls into a person's lap, so when a study group from Salve Regina was organized, I quickly scooped up the opportunity. The departure date was December 29 and seemed like years away.
But suddenly, there were only two weeks left . . . the monstrous week of final exams reared its ugly head ... then it was two days after Christmas and we were still picking stray bits of ribbon and wrapping paper from the living room carpet . . . nothing remained of the leftover Christmas turkey . . . and there I was, suitcase miraculously packed and under 44 pounds . . . really at Green Airport, waiting for our fligh't to New York City! By the time· we landed in New York, I still didn't feel we were really going to Europe. New York seemed like a twilight zone between Providence and Europe. Our Icelandic flight was extremely delayed. Near midnight, after five hours wait, we were called to board the plane. As I settled into my seat, the lively beats of a South American tango began bouncing over . the speakers. I began to worry just little . an omen of a hi-jacking? I could just see my letter home - "Dear Family, Greetings from your daughter and Fidel."

But the stewardess informed us that our plane was an Air Bahamas craft and due to the hold up and difficulties earlier, two flights had been merged. -ICELANDAt six o'clock New York time, we landed in Iceland. The view from 'the airport gave no indication that this was a country with 20 active volcanoes, 200 glaciers, innumerable rivers, where polar bears occasionally drift inland on ice floes. As we re-boarded the plane, the calypso music played on.
It was a travel-weary, eyebleary, but ready-for-anything group that stepped from the railroad station onto the empty city streets of Munich at 6:30 New Year's Eve morning. Our only other companion was the first light of morning coloring the day.
As the sunlight brightened, the still picture of the city actually came to life before us. First, a car turned a distant corner, and two little nuns were seen walking 't oward church. Then clusters of people appeared and we were no longer alone. After depositing our luggage at the hotel, we r:etraced our steps to the church - St. Michael's, one of the finest Baroque churches in Germany. Stepping inside we were greeted by the stirring music of a Bach Mass, performed by a full orchestra and choir. Such a symphonic Church Service was amazing to us all. That night we began to plan our New-Year's Eve strategy. The Germans celebrate New Year's as St. Sylvester's Night, for December 31 is the feast of this saint who became Pope of the Holy Roman Empire in 314. Our participation took us to Schwabing, the student district of the city. The little discotheque we adopted was as any other in the States in appearance, but there the similarity ended. For it was filled with a cross-section of the entire world. In the course of the evening, between much dancing and the delicious German white wines, I found myself in conversations with people from Australia and Afghanistan, France and Iran, and yes, even the United States and Germany.
wonderful things indeed! We were to find that these two ingredients would take us a long way in our travels. The next day we introduced ourselves to Munich. Never have I 5t!en a city explored with such energy, so afraid were we ot missing something. I have never seen such a blend of the past and the present as fs Munich. Almost half of the handsomely laid out city was destroyed in the Second World War. Along the streets, the clean, functional lines of the German Bauhaus school of architecture mingle with the Gothic and Baroque spires of Munich'.s 206 churches. Around the corner from stylish department stores, is a large open air fruit and vegetable market, the Viktualienmarkt. Here, beneath colorfully striped tents, stout, smiling little women wearing cotton print skirts and bulky sweaters stand beside crates of fruits, vegetables and vats of sauerkraut. Assorted chunks of cheese ·and large, crusty loaves of bread further tempt the buyers eye. The market has such rural color and charm that entering it is like stepping into 'the Middle Ages. , Actually one sees very few streets in Munich. The city is arranged in a series of plazas, beneath which run the Strassenbahn and U-Bahn, Munich's modern subway system. The shops and restaurants line the sides of the plazas, giving the effect of a huge open air Mall. In the Rathaus (town hall) tower, there is a clock which chimes every morning at 11:00 like the bell chimes of a glockenspiel. As the music plays, colorful figures of jousting knights and dancing men twirl beneath the clock. The performance lasts about ten minutes, ending to the crows of a rooster figurine.
