Students at information table for Grape Boycott·.

SRC Students Re-brganize Grape Boycott Committee The Salve Regina Colleg e Grape Boycott Committee has recently re-organized itself in a massive movement in support of the international boycott of California table grapes. Mary Burns, of the "Rhode I slanders in Support of t he . Grape Boycott," met with seven. members of the College's Grape Boycott Committee on W ednesday evening, November 5th. Those present · at the meeting to discuss plans for the Grape Boycott in Newport were Mar y Ann R on a n , Co-ordinator, Susan Boyle, Mary Anne Tierney, Sisters Frances Farrell, J osephin e Moquin and' Pat Dwyer. Miss Burns commented tha t this is the most crucial period in the four year strike waged by the United Farm W orkers Organizing Committee beca use it is now that the group is closest to r eaching a settlement and

getting tltp contracts they are seeking. FUrthermore, the U. F.VV.O.C. · fe~ls that the consumer demand ft;~r grapes is highest at Thanksgiving time and that the United State Department of Defense is presently purchasing four -times as many grapes as it d id before the strike began four year s a gq. Presumably, these s urplus grapes are being shipped to Vietnarp to feed American G.I.s. Therefore, t he Committee has decid~d to go all-out to educate members of the Salve Regina Community and to enlist their support in reaching the N ewport ·9 ommunit.y. A tabl ~ of information has been set .up in the Miley lobby from 11 a .m . to 1 .p.m. from VVednesday through Friday, November 12-14.

Will You Give Peace A Chance?

•

Re~. Louis M. Colonnese, Director of the Division for Latin Ame:r:ica, Department of International Affairs, U.S. Catholic Conference has announced his total support of the Cuban bishops' request that the trade embargo against their country be lifted. "Our brothers in Christ, the bishops of Cuba, have requested that the Cuban trade embargo be lifted because they feel it is causing ' their people unnecessary suffering and is obstructing the attainment of their full human development," Father Colonnese said. "We (Division for , Latin America, USCC) share the concern of the Cuban bishops over the human suffering caused by the current embargo and urge the U. S. government and the 0. A . S. to give serious consideration to their plea that the embargo be lifted. We concur in their request not from political nor economic motivation, but because we agree with the cuban bishops' assessment that the embargo offends against the dignity of the Cuban people by imposing unnecessary suffering and deprivation." The eight Cuban bishops now actlive in that country issued a pastoral letter on April lOth which was read in all Cuban churches on April 20th. The pastoral letter quotes Pope Paul VI's encyclical "On the Development of Peoples," the Holy Father's speeches during his Bogota visit and the Latin. American bishops' guidelines on renewal and socio-economic reform issued at Medellin, Colombia last September. "In seeking the common good of our people and of our faithful, in serving the poorer among them, according to the command . of Jesus and the commitment at Medellin," the Cuban bishops' pastoral stated, "we denounce the unjust conditions of the blockade, which is contributing to unnecessary suffering, and making all efforts at development more difficult." Father Colonnese said that there are abundant quotes from Pope Paul's encyclical "Populorum Progressio," the Pope's speeches in Colombia and the Medellin documents which support the stand taken by the cuban bishops. He added that the collective pastoral letter of the U.S. hierarchy issued on November 15, 1968 also supports this position in its statements on "The Family of Nations" and the dignity of human life. He then quoted two excerpts from the U ..s. pastoral letter which he said embody the same Christian concerns which motivated the Cuban bishops to request an end to the embargo.

With the approach of the November Moratorium a note of appreciation must be extended to those who both initiated and contributed to the success of its October counterpart. We commend the committee chairmen, committee members, and the faculty and outsiders who prepared and offered worthwhile, pertinent. material. They have established a unified plea for peace among the diverse factions on campus as well as with the community at large. The Ebb Tide urges the continuity and fortificacation of such programs in the effort to Give Peace A Chance.

Mrs. Graziano succeeds Sr. M . Augustine as president of the organization which is an affiliate of the American Association of Nurses. The Rhode Island State Nurses' Association is a professional body for all nurses who live cr work in this state. Cornprised of about 1,000 members, thP. association is over 60 years old.

Recent studies conducted in several states indicate that 50 percent or more of all gifts by individuals are made in the form of property, most of wpich has appreciated in value. It follows that $1.3 billion, half the total given to education in this year, would have been in jeopardy had provisions of HR 13270 been in force. At a time when costs continue to mount alarmingly while Federal expenditures for education are greatly restrained, the loss of this support would have grave consequences. ....- "The problem is no less serious for ·public institutions than it is for private ones. Independent support for them increasingly provides for tp.e margin of excellence in teaching and facilities that our colleges and universities must have if the nation's needs for qualitative education are to be met." ~"Tax reform is urgently needed in this country, but it must not be gained at the expense of quality in our educational institutions and the loss of the traditions of philanthropy that make such quality possible." "If you are concerned about the financial plight confronting our educational institutions, write to your Congressman," advises Sister M. Marcella, _Financial Aid Director of Salve Regina.

Other tentative plans include a tour of the psychology laboratory at Brown University and an afternoon sensitivity worksllOP at "Cumbres" in New Hampshire.

Paula, 11. freshman, was selected by the college's Student Congress President, Marifran Kelly, on the basis of her resume. The Governor's Youth Conference was established last summer for the purpose of giving the Governor ideas about what Rhode Island youths want and their opinions on legislation. The original group consisted of 20 student leaders from Rhode Island colleges and high schools, but the group soon dwindled to a hard-core of seven, including Marifran K e 11 y . Since these people were extremely involved on their respective campuses, they decided to form a new Governor's Youth Conference to be composed of representatives elected from the high schools and appointed from the college~ by the Student Government presidents.

Rev. Louis M. Colonnese, Director of the Division for Latin America, Department of International Affairs, U.S. Catholic Conference has announced his total support of the Cuban bishops' request that the trade embargo against their country be lifted. "Our brothers in Christ, the bishops of Cuba, have requested that the Cuban trade embargo be rifted because they feel it is causing their people unnecessary suffering and is obstructing the attainment of their full human development," Father Colonnese said. "We (Division for Latin America, USCC) share the concern of the Cuban bishops over the human suffering caused by the current embargo and urge the U. S. government and the 0. A. S. to giVe serious consideration to their plea that the embargo b e lifted. W e concur in their request not from political nor economic motivation, but because we agree with the Cuban bishops' assessment that the embargo offends against the dignity of the Cuban p eople by impoSing unnecessary suffering and deprivation." The eight Cuban bishops now active in that country issued a pastoral letter on April lOth which was read in all Cuban churches on April 20th. The pastoral letter quotes Pope Paul VI's encyclical "On the Development of Peoples," the Holy Father's speeches during his Bogota visit and the Latin American bishops' guidelines on renewal and socio-economic reform issued at Medellin, Colombia last September. "In seeking the common good of our people and of our faithful, in serving the poorer among them, according to the command . of Jesus and the commitment at Medellin," the Cuban bishops' pastoral stated, "we denounce the unjust conditions of the blockade, which is contributing to unnecessary suffering, and making all efforts at development more difficult." Father Colonnese said that there are. abundant quotes from Pope Paul's encyclical ''Populorum Progressio," the Pope's speeches in Colombia and the Medellin documents which support the stand taken by the Cuban bishops. He added that the collective pastoral letter of the U.S. hierarchy issued on November 15, 1968 also supports this position in its statements on "The Family of Nations" and the dignity of human life. He then quoted two excerpts from the U .•S . pastoral letter which he said embody the same Christian concerns which motivated the CUban bishops to request an end to the embargo.

Magic Galoop Replaces Cygnet

Barbara ~s Pot Pourri By BARBARA CARRILLO College campuses are generally good hunting grounds for ghostly phenomena. Because of 1 the age of architecture of some of the dormitories, the campus of Salve Regina College is an ideal set-up for parapsychological occurrences. Be.sides, a good, oldfashioned ghost story is always helpful in allaying boredom. Take St . Joe's, for instance. Did you know that there is an officially recorded ghost in one of the bedrooms at this dormitory? According to one book published about some of the historical buildings in Newport, there is a permanent spot of light in the corner of the old ballroom at St. , Joe's . Even though all the lights were extinguished: all the mirrors covered, and all the shutters tightly closed, the spot still remained - suspended about twothirds of the way up the wall in one corner. And a recent development, the ghost of St . Joe's has become prophetic, (a ghost is only deemed prophetic when the prediction materializes) . Attempted Communication Apparently, last year a few of the girls attempted to "communicate" with their spiritual roommate, using a Ouija board , After answering a few more or less personal, and therefore difficult to substantiate questions, the friendly ghost predicted a fire which was to occur in the dorm "very soon . " The ghost implied that no one would be hurt . When the fire did not materialize last year, the issue was more or less for8'<)tten . However, as it turns out, St. Joe's ghost was accurate, if a little bit off time-wise, (but then, ghostly time may well be measured differently from earthly time) . Early one morning soon after the girls were back in school this fall, the fire alarm sounded. Everyone路 piled out of bed, and several girls distinctly recall the odor of something burning . With the aid of the security guard, they carefully searched the whole builfling - but could find no trace of the fire.

Happy

Residents of McAuley Hall claim to have a whole family of spirits sharing their dorm : Re.becca, the beautiful ghost-ess; John, her jealous husband and owner of the house; and Robert, the butler and Rebecca's lover. At this dorm there are all sorts of rumors about bloody murders committed with an ax, of illicit love affairs, and of desperate suicide attempts. Strange Experiences Two girls, (incidentally, both named Mary), have had strange experiences this year . The first Mary claims to have felt a "coldness" as soon as she walked into one room . Later, while putting up a poster, she felt an arm brush her as though it were helping路 her to hold the corner of her poster . Startled, she turned around and questioned the only other person in the room with her ; however, her companion didn't even know what she was talking about . The second Mary, who lives in the same wing in McAuley, says that she distinctly felt a hand grasp her arm. So real was this experience that she was actually able to count three fingers while ~hey were touching her arm. Mary was alone in the room when this happened. As we parapsychologists are prone to saying, can you beat that'? Or can you offer an adequate explanation? EDITORS NOTE: This column is the first of introspective articles to be published in EBB TIDE.

Junior Class To Raffle Week Trip To Bermuda The Junior Class will raffle off a one-week trip to Bermuda for two as a project to offset the expenses of Junior Ring Weekend, February 13-15. The trip includes first class hotel accommodationS at the glamorous Princess Hotel for any week of .the 路winner's choice between August 1970 and August 1971.

Brooke Denehan and Joan Ottilege, Co-chairmen for the Weekend, have announced that the drawing will be on Friday, Feb. ruary 13, immediately following the Ring Ceremony. The tickets may be bought from any member of the Junior Class for $1 each or a book of five for $4.

Cathleen Morrissey Assumes SC Position Cathleen Morrissey, a freshman from West Haven, Connecticut, has been appointed Parliamentarian of the Student Congress for the Academic year 1969-1970.

The Parliamentarian is a nonvoting executive officer of Student Congress. This off\ce was created as an application of the platform of President Marlfrances Kelly. It is hoped that the employment of parliamentary procedure will greatly facilitate Congress business. All Congress members have been asked to familiarize themselves with Robert's Rules of Order, which are now being implemented at the weekly Congress meetings. Cathy Morrissey was chosen for the position after submitting a resume of her qualification~ and ideas. She had been active with Junior Achievement and in conjunction with this attended their national Convention where she was trained in parliamentary procedure.

Magic Galoo~ will replace the :Cygnet as Salve's literary magazine. A group of students, under the direction of Sister Mary Noel Elute and Mr. Richard McGinn, will publish the magazine twice a year. All types of literary works, including jokes, poetry, art work, compositions and both formal and informal essays will be accepted. The staff, comprised entirely of Juniors majoring or minoring in English, includes Ann Crowley, Sue Danhno, Ruth Dupuy, Jean Kelly, Kathy McCourt, Ann O'Donnell, Pat Parisi, Pat Peak and Kathy Shinners. In charge of art work for the publication are Barbara Carillo and Sue Hampel. Magic Galoop grew out of an extensive Grafitti campaign initiated by the staff in late September. The interest and curiosity of the students was aroused with posters and constant reminders scattered. throughout the college. A short skit, performed in the Miley cafeteria at dinnertime, informed the students about Magic Galoop. Large manila envelopes have been posted around the campus so that students may deposit their contributions. The deadline for submitting work .is a week before Thanksgiving. The first issue of Magic Galoop is scheduled to appear before Christmas. Those interested in working for Magic Galoop in any capacity are asked to contact any staff member.

Who's Who

Mrs. Judy Seward Joins Library Staff Hrs. Judy Seward has replaced lira. Jean Denny as Periodicals Librarian in the college library. A Navy wife and a native of lllnnesota, Mrs. Seward earned her bachelor's degree from Mankato State College with majors in English and German. She has had teaching experience in sixth grade, and has taught English1 German and debating in junior and senior high school in Minneaota, South Carolina and Virginia. Former Intern In addition, she has worked as an intern for the South Carolina State L i b r a r y Board in the Charleston County Public Library. There Mrs. Seward had an opportunity to worl{ with reference materials and bookmobile service, as well as ..ytth periodicals. In trying to improve the library's service to the students and faculty of Salve Regina, Mrs. Seward has expressed a desire for suggestions for new and/ or back periodical issues which are not presently found in the collection. For this purpose, she directs attention to the suggestion lists posted near the periodicals indexes in the periodicals room and near the periodicals drawex: in the card catalogues. Personally delivered ideas are also welcome. Inter-library Loans At the-¥>resent time, Rhode Island libraries are defining and organizing more fully their concept of inter-library loans. The Salve Regina library is eligible to request materials not in our collection from the state's other li.braries. Mrs. Seward urges students and instructors to make use of this service in order to expand their own resources and to make the best possible use of ~ all library materials. To request the loan of a book throug~ this system, the patron should first make sure the item is not found in our collection, and then ask at the desk to fill out the proper request form . Mrs. Seward stated that she would "welcome the opportunity to meet as· many members of the college as possible and to help in any way possible."

She is President of Sigma Phi Sigma and served as the honor society's Secretary-Treasurer last year. Kathy's interests includ travel, tennis and journalism, and she hopes to attend graduate school for literary criticism at Berkley Notre Dame or Michigan State. Pamela Sweeney Pam Sweeney, a Senior Class Representative and last year's Secretary of the Student Congress, is currently a member of the College Council. One of the Portrait Editors of this years Regina Marls, Pam is a former Ebb Tide - reporter. She has served as both Secretary and President of House Council, and a member of Cultural Committee and the Student Academic Affairs Committee. Pam, a resident of Darien, Connecticut, is a History major and plans to teach elementary education. Each college ·or university is assigned a quota of nominees since curricular and extra .curricular programs, as well as enrollment, varies from one scJlOol to another. The quota, although select, was designed to be representative of the student body. Nominations are held annually, and only college juniors, seniors and graduate students may participate. Each nominati,on must also be approved by a faculty or administration mem- , ber who has been appointed for such a duty. Publication Upon being approved and notified by the national office committee, the nominee must sumit his or her biographical data which consists of pertinent questions concerning the student's abilities. This information is used to compile the published volume of Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities. Besides the recognition given to outstanding leaders on our campus, Who's Who also provides a career planning service.

Cindy, Rita, Ann and friends await election returns in American Embassy. "For a foreign language major, studying abroad is one of the finest experiences she can engage in,_" states Cindy Bates, who has returned to the campus after spending her junior year in Madrid. Cindy, together with Ann Conaty and Rita Francis, is exuberant in her praise of the foreign study program. She is a Spanish major and French minor. "Living and studying with Spanish people is fascinating as well as educational," she continuelf. Seeing and visiting the historical sights she once had only read about brought. her a better understanding of the Spanish culture and history. What about the social life in Spain? "It was quite an experience. Though the Spaniards, as most Europeans, are aggressive, dating in Madrid is a lot of fun. There a,re great nightclubs, psychedelic surroundings> and good music." Ann Conaty Ann Conaty, majoring in Spanish and taking a minor in secondary education, felt that spending a year in Spain was just great. "I would advise any foreign language major to consider seriously studying abroad some time during her college years. Living and learning in the culture of another country surpasses many educational opportunities in the States.

Spanish students are very helpful and treat you like an old friend . An excellent challenge is having to speak Spanish most of the time." "The night life in ·M ad r i d doesn't start until11:30 or so and goes on until three or four in the morning. Movies, theaters, and most entertainment is relatively inexpensive. In Madrid, there is never a dull moment." Traveling was also a fascination. "Visiting southern Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy gave me a better understanding of the many cultures· which I would never otherwise have fully grasped." Rita Francis Rita Francis feels that the experiences of the past year have helped her in her student teaching this year. "I am able to get my students more interested in class by mentioning many examples of Spanish life that I have personally experienced. As for activities in Spain, there are no Saturday nights; every night is a busy social occasion. Ther.e is day to day living, and it is true that night never comes to Madrid." All three girls are enthusiastic over their opportunities of the past year. They feel that only within the culture of a people can one truly participate in the spirit that is the people.

What's New In Dictionaries?

Dr. Dorothy Troendle Contrasts American Heritage, Webster's Third An important new onevolume work, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, edited by William Morris, has just been issued. Its publishers, the Houghton Mifflin Company are proclaiming it as a "more authoritive" presentation of the English Language than the controversial Webster's Third International Edition, published by Merriam Webster in 1961. Unless these claims are put into proper perspective, they can give false hopes to those still clinging to illusions of "purity" and "authority" in language and render insufficient credit to the truly great scholarly accomplishment achieved by the editors of Webster's Third. This new dictionary is not a backward step in the direction of Noah Webster and Samuel Johnson but will be seen by many as a step forward in the direction o~ Noam Chomsky. It is interesting to note that Morris and several of the other linguistic authorities involved in the work are from Harvard where Chomsky's theoiies have had such great impact. Webster's Third Brilliant as the achievement of Webster's Third was, it did have several serious limitations. Its format was not particularly good; in many ways it was difficult to read. The elimination of a phonetic guide on every page often made quite clumsy the job of determining a word's pronunciation. Many responsible scholars viewed as a seripus deficiency the failure to note the dialectal stratum to which a given expression might belong - whether it was standard or substandard or belonged to the written or spoken language. The men of the Third, operating on the theories of the descriptive linguists, had declared these matters none of their business and at any rate such judgments, as they saw it, were beyond their capacities and prerogatives. They simply recorded with detached objectivity. They adhered to the theory that a proper description of language required principal attention to its basic aspect the spoken version. They believed that every native speaker of English was to some degree an authority on its use. Therefore they simply, and as they saw it, scientifically, recorded the English language in its widely varied usage. Purists Shocked The general uproar at the publication of the Third came principally from purists like Wilson Follett who were shocked to discover what responsible scholars have known for centuries - that all usage is relative; that language cqanges and that any attempt to "fix it for all time would be undesirable

even if it were possible to do so. However, there was also a more low-keyed clamor from responsible critics like Morton Bloomfield, who felt that insufficient attention had been paid to written forms. It can be quite logically pointed out that the dictionary is most frequently used in association with written rather than spoken expression. It also seemed to some that an accurate description of language required such value judgments as: 17slang," "vulgar," etc. Moreover:, many scholars attentive to the brilliant theories of N oam Chomsky regarding the grammatical structure and sound patterns of language, were developing new philosophies of linguistic science that made old scientific attitudes seem immature. New Dictionary The new dictionary attempts to remedy some of the obvious ·deficiencies of Webster's Third. The format is improved; th~ pronunciation guide is restored and principal consideration is given to the literary aspects of English. To insure proper authority the publishers have made use of a computerized Corpus of Present Day Edited American English prepared at Brown University. This corpus, which represents a wide-range sampling of one million words is presented as giving new definitive evidence on p,roper spelling and meaning. However the hundreds of men who worked for five years on this dictionary have not restricted their efforts to a consideration of the prestige dialect. They have diligently combed rural areas and city ghettoes and have examined the exchange of college "confrontations." Every effort has been made to record the language comprehensively. The distinction comes in that words gathered from educated or vulgar speakers have been appropriately labeled. Outstanding Authorities Many truly outstanding authorities have been consulted during the preparation of this work and are represented by introductory essays at the beginning of the book. I have studied with three of these men, namely Morton Bloomfield, Calvert Watkins and Wayne O'Neil, and can attest to their scholarly integrity. Morris Bishop, Richard Ohmann, Henry Smith and Henry Kucera are other outstanding linguists who have contributed to the work. Unfortunately these men are little known except to specialists in the field. I suspect that it is for commercial interests that another group of "authorities," better known to the public, has been drafted. A hundred of these people including men like

Walter Lipman, Bruce Catton, Eugene McCarthy and others chosen for their facility in using language rather than their knowledge of its history and structure have been solicited for their opinions in regard to certain COI).troversial words and constructions. Real Influence I suspect that on the who~e their opinions will have little real influence on this new dictionary, except perhaps to forestall some of the unfavorable criticism that greeted Webster's Third. After all, few of us who are native speakers of English have to be informed concerning the usage level of words in our particular dialect. These value judgments will, I suspect, provide the biggest bone of contention in the appraisal of th~ American Heritage Dictionary. I for one have no objection to their inclusion. It will give future language historians a record of the status of English words and constructions at a particular point in time. From the scholar's point of view, of course, that is all any dictionary· is supposed to do. The obvious fallacy is that this kind of labeling can in itself form a kind of prescription. "A certain word is vulgar. The dictionary says so." In other words, unlike Webtser's Third this new dictionary is in danger of being not only authoritive but authoritarian. There are also inevitable social implications. I suspect that some groups will resent having their dialectal distinctions designated "substandard." History, of course is on their side. In conclusion the new dictionary is obviously an ambitious and conscientious attempt to record the language fairly, accurately and comprehensibly and to present it in a concise, readable form . The achievement is enormous; however, I suspect that the purists are going to be shocked at some of the inclusions that have been "permitted," although they may be somewhat mollified at having them simultaneously denounced as sub-standard.
