Friendly Camera Studies C~mpus; EBB TIDE Views Cinematographer by Terri Kubitschek

During the past school year, students and faculty at Salve Regina may have confronted the lens of a friendly camera as they went about their usual (and at times unusual) activities. And while we're not promising a break-through in Hollywood for anyone, we promise a delightful viewing experience in the film which is the product of the camera's creative probings, for Salve's new recruitment film is indeed an artful creation of viewing pleasure. And recently, we had the additional pleasure of talking to the film's artist and maker, Mr. Ed DiMeglio. Before I talked to Mr. DiMeglio, he was busy preparing the film for projection for an audience of visiting Bay View High School students. As he adjusted and aligned, I snapped a candid shot of him with the projector. When he saw the flash (yes, I did remember a flashcube), he stopped, made one last adjustment, then called me over. He began by saying, "You know, I have been a news photographer for 18 years. I have photographed such presidents as Kennedy, Johnson, 'E isenhower, and Truman; many athletes; countless

criminals; but this is the first time that anyone has ever publicly photographed me." Glowing w i t h my newlyachieved distinction, I sat down to talk to my "photographee." Mr. DiMeglio began to discuss, not himself, but his film, which was the first of many indications of the great feeling which he has for his work. This particular film became a reality, he said, because of the Father's Council and their genuine concern for recruitment efforts. Sister Christopher's open reception to the idea advanced the realization another step. In fact, Mr. DiMeglio stated that due to Sister Christopher, the film was realized as fully as possible, for she gave to him full reign of the campus. The advantages this created, coupled with close work with the Public Relations and Admissions Offices, were instrumental to the film's birth. During the months of filming, Mr. DiMeglio became extremely sensitive to the . objective purpose of the film. He calls it a genuine kind of vehicle for communicating the friendly atmosphere which he encountered at Salve. He spept much time on (Continued on Page 4)

.Culture Continues On Salve Campus The Fine Arts Committee of Salve Regina announces several events for the week of April 1-8. The first event will be under the sponsorship of the Alliance Francaise of Newport. There will be a performance of violin-piano sonatas in Ochre Court at 3:30, Sunday, April 1. George Szpinalski will play violin, and Robert Wallenborn will accompany him on piano: The copcert features works by Faure, Saint-Saens, and Franck. A film on Leonardo daVinci has been obtained from the National Gallery in Washington. "Leonardo: To Know How to See" will be shown on Monday, April 2, at 3:00. The weekly showing of "Civilisation" continues on Tuesday at 4 and 7:30. The French and Art departments of Salve are planning a trip on April 3, to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Mrs. Elaine Mayer is coordinator. Special interest will be given to works by the Romantics, Impressionists, and Post-Impressionists. "Royal Gambit" under the direction of Miss Joan David, will be presented April 5-7. The play by Hermann Gresseicker, deals with Henry VIII and his six wives. It examines the conscience of modern man in the person of Henry, and the ways in which man's conscience can rationalize his materialistic desires. Harvey Stenson, a faculty member in music at John Abbott College in Montreal, will give a harpsichord recital on Sunday, April 8. Mr. Stenson is a graduate of the Eastman Rochester School of Music. He studied with Marie-Cliare Alain in Paris, and with Kenneth Gilbert of Montreal. His performance will be given on a replica of an 18th century F r e n c h harpsichOrd built by Mr. Glenn Giuttari of the Salve faculty.

Saybolt Viscometer Gift To Salve The acquisition of a Saybolt Viscometer by Salve Regina, was announced by Dr. Ascanio G. DiPippo, professor of chemistry. The viscometer, a gift of Chevron Research, a division of Standard Oil of California, will be used by the students in organic chemistry. "We are most grateful for the piece of lab equipment," said Dr. DiPippo, on making the announcement. "This gives our students an excellent chance to carry out our experiments with a greater degree of accuracy, and ln. a more expedient manner."

Many Are Called .... But One Is Chosen Sister Christopher O'Rourke's resignation provoked another much needed committee on campus. This committee appropriately named the "Search Committee" is doing just that. Their primary objective it to locate a dedicated person with enough qualifications to succeed the office of President O'Rourke. The chairman of the committee is Sister Mary Mercy McAuliffe, R.S.M. Other committee members are the representatives from: Corporation- Sr. Rosalia Flaherty R.S.M, Trustee - Mr. Jeremiah Lynch, Mr. William Perry, Sr. Mary Josetta Butler R.S.M., Administrative CouncilSr. Mary Christopher O'~ourke R.S.M., Faculty - Sr. Mary No-

el Blute R.S.M., Dr. William Burrell, Mrs. Catherine Gra.Ziano, Alumnae - Miss Mary Connolly, and Student - Anne Harmon '74. There have been about 75 recommendations with approximately 25 actual applications received thus far. These applicants are thoroughly evaluated by each member of the committee. After these evaluations are completed interviews will begin. It is of the understanding that all committee members will have opportunity to interview. A list of candidates, in order of preference, is expected to be given to the Board of Trustees around the middle of April.
