for the increased interest in these two areas. She, as well as other admissions counselors, have found the high school students today to be extremely careerminded. Recruiting for liberal arts is thus the most important task to be faced, as colleges throughout the country are realizing.
present, the Admissions is operating on a firm Applications to Salve the number at this time year. There is also a definite 11n1¡Pro~!'lt in Salve stemming from considerable number of transstudents.
Sister Audrey feels that the Fathers Council's recruiting film will be a very useful and positive tool in recruiting efforts. She suggests that students who visit high schools during the Easter vacation might arrange with the guidance counselors to have the film shown. Definite arrangements can be made through the Admissions Office if this suggestion is received positively.
Admissions to Nursing are now as the quota in this area been reached, with an addiwaiting list of thirty appliMedical Technology still openings, but applications in area al11o exceed last year's Sister Audrey, Director of Adlffi1ssionts, cites the present shortof positions in the teaching profession as largely responsible
It is hoped that during the two weeks of Easter vacation, each student at Salve will act upon the suggestion made earlier in the year that each one of us try to recruit at least one person. Such an attempt is the first step to recruitment's success.
Royal Gambit Presented Royal Gambit, a drama by Hermann Gressieker, was presented by the theater division of Salve Regina College on April 5, 6 and 7 at 8 p.m. in the Mercy Hall Theater. Royal Gambit is a play which traces the rise and subsequent demise of King Henry VIII of England. Who was this man who exerted such charismatic qualities that made people love him aa well as cower from him? Henry, according to Gressieker, claims, "I am the man of the modern times, the man who frees his senses and becomes fully conscious of the gift God has presented him, the all-powerful reason." Henry, played by Tony Webb, was indeed a man of modern times. He created the Church of England in the 16th century wben Pope Clement refused to grant him a divorce from his first wife, Katarina of Aragon (Terri Kubitschek). Henry Tudor then wed Anne Boleyn (Mariadonna McCarthy), the unscrupulous woman who goaded him into divorcing Katarina. When Anne, like Katarina, failed to present Henry with a male heir, he ordered her to be beheaded. He married Jane Seymour (Debbie Hoffman) , a meek servant girl. Seymour gave him the thing he wanted most; a son. 3he died almost immediately after childbirth, leaving Henry a widower once more. Henry recovered rapidly from Jane's death. He soon felt he needed an alliance with a Lutheran, so arranged to wed Ann of Cleves (Angi DeOrchis), whose portrait he admired. Unfortunately, Anna's portrait showed a marked discrepancy from the real Anna. Henry gave her a sum of money and began the quest for wife number five.
The Buffet Luncheon was on of the scheduled events during Mother-Daughter Weekend.
Mothers Loved Being on Campus Mother.Daughter W e e k e n d, held on March 23, 24, and 25, proved to be a very enjoyable and exciting weekend. This weekend, sponsored by SNO (Student Nurses Organization), has usually been directed towards parents in the past. However, it must have been decided that mothers get equal bid and declared the weekend theirs (although fathers were seen on campus). The mothers all arrived bright
and cheerful for the scheduled events. Newport was gracious enough to make a a wonderful weekend weather-wise and the r est of the bright atmosphere came from the "moms" and their "grown-up" daughters. It all went by too quickly but don't be too upset, next year isn't that far away and in between that time we have our dads to take care of for a weekend!
He dedded upon Kathryn Howard (Janet Dawson), a fifteen year old, supposedly innocent, godchild of Katarina. After the marriage, Henry learned of Kathryn's "escapades," and felt it was . his duty to behead her. The king swears he will marry no more, but four short weeks after Kathryn's death, the wed. ding bells peal again. This time Henry has married a philosop:Qical widow, Kate Parr (Denise F~ley).
Henry aptly sums up the play while he is on his deathbed, "That makes sense: the modern age comes to an end when I leave the earth ... Who in these difficult times will espouse the cause of mankind! Oh - we are to be pitied for my passing."

Community Interview The following is the first in a series of interviews to be conducter by the Ebb Tide staff. The interviews, involving people of various professions, are designed to give an insight as to how a professional began his career and how he views contemporary issues related to his field. David Korb, a general assignment reporter for the Newport Dally News, is the subject of the first interview. Q. What exactly does the position of general reporter entail?
A. Covering just about everything. For instance, I recently did an article on Russian fishing trawlers off the Atlantic Coast, and, also a series of abortion articles. Since I've always had an interest in the theater, I suppose theatrical reviewing is my favorite. Q. What type of preparations have you had for journalistic work? A. I had no journalistic train. ing, per se. I majored in foreign affairs at Assumption College. Then I worked with the Worcester Telegram. I started as a wire boy and later wrote, primarily, feature articles on news events. Q. There seems to be a widespread dissatifaction among reporters today. Can you offer any reasons for this? A. It's really an age-old conflict. Reporters vs. editors. Reporters are agitated when their articles are cut in order to leave room for advertising. Editors, of course, support their papers through advertising. Also, as a reporter on the Newport News, in particular, you are discouraged not to go off the
island for your stories. "Off island" news is strictly the responsibility of the Associated Press. This, naturally, causes a conflict between a reporter and an A.P. machine; the copy from the reporters plays second fiddle to the copy from the machine. Q . Some people feel that magazine journalism is in a precarious position due to the Impact of other media (T.V., radio, etc.). How do you feel about the fu. ture of journallsm?A. As long as people are still reading (despite Marshall McLuhan) there will be a demand for the printed word. Magazines are more economically oriented than newspapers. If you print 6,000 magazines, then decide to print 10,000, you have no alternative but to raise the price per copy. This is not necessarily true with newspapers. Newspapers have recently been forced to undergo radical changes due to competition with T .V. and radio. They do more feature stories and many papers have expanded a single woman 's page to several home and community pages. The newspaper functions solely to serve the public and it can afford to go into a depth which other media cannot. Q. Today reporters can be imprisoned for refusing to reveal the sources of their information. What is your opinion of this? A. It's obviously a ridiculous encroachment of the First Amendment. Under the Firs t Amendment, information must be made available to the public. This is the job of a reporter. Personally, if such a situation did arise where a reporter was (Continued on Page 4)
