SALVE REGINA COLLEGE/Newport, Rhode Island
Two Weeks F'o r Recruiting vided By Easter Vacation Easter vacation presents perfect opportunity for every student to double her efin the name of recruitment. Salve operates on the basis rolling admissions, no cut-off l!lt:<tulJtut: exists for incoming stu. and the concept of conrecruitment becomes more than ever.
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."
April, 1973
Dates Announced F'o r '73-74 Student Congress Elections The Election Committee, composed of Peggy Magin, Ellen Peterson, G e r r y McLaughlin, Pam DeLeone and Meg Bowler, have announced to the student body the dates set aside for school elections for the academic year 1973-74. They read as fo].lows: Student Congress Elections Sunday, April 1 - _Petitions must be received by 12:00 midnight Monday, April 2 - Campaigning begins at 6:00 p.m., Runoffs during the day Tuesday, April 3 - Speeches at 12:00 noon and 4:30 in the Haven. Wednesday, April 14 - Elections 9-5 in the lobby of Miley.
The offices open for Student Congress are president, vicepresident, secretary, treasurer, SAAC chairman, Speaker's Committee chairman, and Social Committee chairman. These of. flees are open for any student body member to petition regardless of Student Congress experience. It is the practice of Student Congress elections for the President and Vice-President to run on one ballot. As a result of the poll taken earlier this semester a new student list is being compiled bearing only those names of students who expressed an interest in voting for school elections. The 2/3 majority required will be determined from the number on the new voting list.
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)

Editorial Well the time has come once again for students of Salve to show their true color - apathy. It seems that election time at this school always brings out the best in people - no one wants to run for an office or for that· matter even vote for some poor soul who was gallant enough to try and do her best. The irony is amazing, from the day after election for the whole blessed year after not one decent word will be said for any congress member or class officer. What is the solution? There Isn't any, I guess its just human nature to sit back and criticize, but what a . di.s grace to sit back all your life and never know what it is like to serve others. Ebb Tide salutes you all who have the guts to submit your petitions for whatever office you feel qualified. I realize you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't - But at least you have courage to try.
Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, In response to malnourished, I whole heartedly agree. The food at Salve isn't of a bad quality its just the way -it is prepared. I mean realistically how can 200 steaks be cooked with love and care to come out of the pan tender and not tasting like shoe leather. We know that cooking for the general mas!)es is difficult but please make us something substantial because I've had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches !or a month now. And jelly is getting to the point where it is all peanut butter and no jelly. Am I paying an extra $250 this year to eat peanut butter and no jelly? No Jelly
Dear Editor, This concerns a touchy .issue with the policeman who come to classes. Students (girls) cannot park in the circle in front of O'Hare because traffic is obstructed. But any car that is driven by an officer of the law has the honor of parking in the circle without the honor of a ticket.
* * *
Also concerning parking, I had my vehicle parked, I should say chained to the front of Miley and received a ticket because maintenance doesn't want Miley to look rotten.
Dear Editor, The thought occurs that a more viable idea for a more successful coffeehouse would be the obtaining of a liquor license, or a limited type of license allowing us to serve beer and wine. At present, Salve boasts a rather morose coffeehouse where students can "flock" to listen to music and consume good strong coffee, and tasty chocolate chips. All this for the pal try sum of 50¢! Occasionally there is an added attraction of a bowl of freshly poped corn. If the students could obtain the aforesaid license, attendance could very well increase. The music is honestly worthwhile, but one is reluctant to spend the inoney, when one can go elsewhere and spend fifty cents for a beer, and hear music besides. It seems to be that this would be a practical and logical solution, and one that those running the. coffeehouse might consider. Sincerely, · Maria McCarthy
Is this because they carry a badge in their wallet or because they carry a gun and Security is afraid of them? If this is the case then Cheap Charlies will have a sellout on waterpistols and tin badges. This is undemocratic.
Now don't get me wrong, my vehicle is a ten speed Raleigh. I'm sorry, I spent $150.00 on my bike and I'm not about to lock it to something that isn't secure. This also goes for O'Hare. We need bike racks and we need them now. Still Pedaling Dear Editor, Salve's dorms has been invaded in the past by dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and gold fish but most recently a students has found a place in her heart for one of the newest members in the Animal Kingdom A PIGEON! It has been rumored that this pigeon has been seen flying
and angered a number of Junior nursing students is the incompetent managing of bus transportation this semester. In the fall of 1973, Junior nursing students were asked by the Nursing Department to fill out a form stating whether they would or would not be needing transporta tion for the following semester. It was specifically .stated to all students at that time that Mr. Cunningham was seeking merely an approximate count of the students who would or would not be needing transportation. Since the nursing cirriculum for the present semester provides for our affl!ation with both hospitals in Newport and Providence, but does not state, a semester in advance, the · number of days we are required to work in either location, many of us that fall were undecided as to whether we would be needing transportation. But, we assumed, that since the form merely represented an 'approximate' count, we might as well be 'safe' and state that we ~ould be needing transportation. Mr. Cunningham was approached by a Junior nursing student, who informed him that these forms r e p r e s e n t e d an approximate count of the number of girls who might be taking transportation second semester. A definite count ~ould be needed before the end of the semester. This was agreed to, but the 'definite count' never materialized.

CO-ORDINATION CORNER By Meg Bowler Speaking of sports . . ! ! ! Salve's basketball team has completed its season without a victory. The final games, both with Mount St. Joseph's of Wakefield, Rhode Island, ended in defeat. The away game saw Salve with a hope of a victory. However, Mount St. Joe's penetrated Salve's defense and Salve could not hit the boards. The final score was Mount St. Joe's 31, Salve 20. High scorer for Salve was Alice Scherer with 7 points. The next confrontation of the teams was at the "Hut" in Newport. The members of the team were confident they could outplay and outshoot Mount St. Joe's for a sure win. Once again, the table was turned. In the early minutes of play, one of the star players, Alice Scherer in a desperate attempt to gain possession of the ball, injured her hand and was out for the rest of the game. As play resumed, Salve used a working press which rattled Mount St. Joe's. It was not enough. Shooting was poor from the floor and from the foul line. As if things were not bad enough, in the last half of the game, another key player, Genie Riel, fouled out · of the game. Throughout the course of the game, Salve lacked team cohesiveness, which could have pulled the team to victory. -High
scorer for Salve was captain Sheila Kissane, with 7 points. The final score was Mount St. Joe's 30, Salve 17. At this time, the members of the team deserve congratulations for putting their time and effort towards basketball at Salve. Faci n g insurmountable obstacles they s till had the courage and drive t o get out on the court and play. A note of thanks is also extended to Louise Brenner, the manager and Suzanne Audet, who scored and timed. We would also like to give a big thank you to C o a c h Kenny Mularz and Assistant coach AI Saucier for giving up their free time, without pay, and sticking with the team. There is no other· news from any of the other sports on campus, so for a moment let's move off the grounds and on to another - Providence College. It seems as if the "Friars" made it to Saint Louis, but could not pull it tog~ther . With the knee injury of top rebounder, Marvin Barnes, Providence was rendered helpless and lost to Memphis State and also lost to Indiana in the consolation game. Salve wishes to congratulate the "Friar's" for getting as far as they did in the tournament . . . However, the loss will keep Providence College heads attached to their shoulders - for the time being, at least.
If, at this time, readers find this article repetitive, they are correct. But, if you are presently a student at SRC and, if you have ever been Involved in an 'a c adem i c misunderstanding' with the faculty or administration, you must know that SRC has no 'lines of communication' within departments, between departments, between or among faculty, or between or among fa c u 1 t y and administration. Therefore, it is imperative to ~peak to each · and every Individual involved in the decisionmaking process of a situation. When in doubt, state, restate and clarify, Clarify, CLARIFY your position and your understanding of a given situation.
As is obvious, this article has an unhappy ending. As nursing students know, a transportation fee is included with your tuition bill. Unfortunately, a few unlucky SRC upper classmen were not at home when this bill arrived. Unfortunately, our parents wrote out checks to the designated amount. Unfortunately, included in that designated amount was a $40 transportation fee. In February, when those unfortunate students realized what had occurred, that they did not need transportation, but that the (Continued on Page 8) about the halls late at night but returns to its nest by sunrise.

The Rage of HighwatCrs Hits Newport Many people in the Newport Community have recently been involved in the new fad of highwater pants.
HAVE YOU?? Since people are wearing these new highwater pants, the department stores have reported an increase in the sale of ankle socks, booties, knee socks, pantyhose and the new half-way · look in nylons.
'Motoiza and 'Crazy Face' Featured Spring Weekend Salve Regina's Spring Weekend, May 4 to 6 promises to be exciting entertainment, especially musically. A wide range of bands should cover everyone's particular tastes. First scheduled is a Sully's party from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday night, May 4, with an admission fee of $1. Due to the sue-
Forty Dollar Loss (Continued from Page 2) fee was already paid, they promptly tried to get their money back. They were given the royal run-around, which has lasted till the present .date. Examples of this run-around are: certain involved persons cannot be reached by phone or in person; other individuals tell you nothing can be done; and still other individuals refer you to other individuals, who refer you back to the certain involved persons. What has happened to that elusive $40? Is it running the buses, has it purchased a new security car, or has it burnt a hole in someone's pocket? There is only one just and final answer - reimbursement - sometime bef-ore May 17! We also advise fa culty and administration to define and differentiate between the following terms: "approximate" and "definite."
cess of the continuous music specially arranged at the last Salve party at Sully's, two bands will again play for non-stop dancing. Featured will be the oldies sound of The John Motoiza Band and the well-known band, Crazy Face. Dancing continues afloat on the Boatride, Saturday night, May 5 from 8:30 p.m. to midnight, on the Prudence Island Ferry in Warren. This popular event features a live band and as much beer as can be consumed, all at a cost of $3 per person or $6 per couple. A combination of three very different bands will climax the weekend of Sunday, May 6 in an Outdoor Concert on the grounds of W akehurst from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The first group will feature jazz followed by a rock band, Friends ,Inc., comprised solely of music students from Berklee College in Boston. Winding up will be The Luther Johnston Blues Band, straight from the Boston circuit and who will be going on tour with John Lee Hooker. All Salve students will be admitted free with !D's, and the public at a $2 fee. J oin in Salve's Spring Weekend and keep an eye alert for all coming posters concerning it. The true enjoyment can only come from being there.

Glee Clubs "P'ops" Are Tops! The Glee Club of Salve Regina showed off their many musical talents with an excellent repertoire to many appreciative mothers last Saturday during "Mother- Da~Jghter Weekend." The girls gave an excellent and very entertaining performance of a number of P ops pieces. It will be this very same medley that the Glee Club plans to use on their tour during April vacation, ~hich will be the second week in April. This tour is still in the planning stages and we hope, along with the girls in the Glee Club, them to be definite quite soon. The idea is for the Glee Club ~o give concerts in the surrounding areas, such as around Newport and in Boston. It would be an exciting as well as an enjoyable adventure indeed! Included in these tentative plans also is the cutting of a record. All the girls in the Glee Club have worked very hard at the musical programs they have performed and their achievements are certainly applaudable. Therefore, it would be quite a cultural achievement to catch the wonderful and talented voices of Salve's Glee Club on record. It is something the girls
have wanted to do for a long time, and we wish them the best of luck in it!!! To be sure that you don't miss the next musical delight the Glee Club· has scheduled, want to point out that they will be performing in a joint concert with Fordham on Saturday afternoon, May 5th. For this concert they will sing Bach's Cantata. It should be fantastic .:..._ just like our Glee Club! Notices will be posted in O'Hare for it, so be sure not to miss it!

Sunny Salve Newport around the beginning of May is great to get a good headstart on your summer tan - (or sunburn as is often the case). So take a few helpful hints : 1. Don't let Mrs. McGann see you! 2. Don't let Security see you on the roof! 3. Remember lukewarm tea really relieves a bad sunburn. So kids, goodluck with your tans and remember the HAZE THEORY has been proven to be useful, too.

.The Agony and the Ecstasy Over~auling of Teacher Ed. Neede
Have you ever tried to .g et a r o6m on campus for an upcoming semester here at Salve ? If you are a freshman, obviously you have not, but there's always a first time. Again the time has come for the annual "Room Drawing". Throughout the history of "room drawing", it has always been customary for the juniors to have the first choice as to where they would like t o live for their senior year at school. Again this year, the juniors will have the privilege of selecting their rooms first. Of course this is not all fun and games. , This year, the girls have a choice of only three dorms to live in. Of course there's good old Miley, (but who in their right mind would want to live in that building for three or four years?) Next there is a choice between Ochre Lodge and F ounders. Ochre and Founders are probably going t o be the dorms where most of the juniors will choose to live. Still, there is hope for the underclassmen to find a r oom in one of these dorms, due t o a number of girls living off-campus next semester. For the sophomores, this will be their second room drawing. (Better luck this time kids.) If you are lucky, you may be able t o finally move out of Miley. If you luck out and end up in Miley, don't be too upset. You have plenty of rooms to choose from. What difference does It make if the rooms are all the same? There are numerous ways in which you can move your beds so that your room can look original, and different from the one next door . Pity the poor freshman who will have to learn to love Miley for another year. It's not that bad. Though you may complain because of a greasy smell to the place ; you can spend many good
hours trying t o decide just what it is that is cooking in the cafeteria. If it's the noise of all those girls in such close quarters that annoys you, ear plugs are not that expensive at this time of year. Here's hoping that you all can make it through another year. Better luck next time. Apparently the next step is the actual drawing for rooms. You had better bring some protection, because some people may become just a little over-emotional when they find that they can't have the r ooms that they want . Good luck to each one of you in securing a r oom for next semester and if you decide t o live off-campus because this is too much of a hassel, I hope that you can find exactly the room that you want. Just remember that when you try to solve your problem by finding a room offcampus you are going to have more competition, because your r oom drawing will not be with only the Salve girls living offcampus but also with the Navy men moving off-ship.
Sophomore Ring Committee Chosen The Sophomore Class recently elected Jane Williams as chairman of the Ring Copunittee. Jane, along with committee members will now begin meeting with various companies throughout the area. After a company is chosen this committee then has to plan a design which they feel is significant to be placed on the Salve ring. The traditional ring consists of a yellow gold square with a Linde st ar sapphire set in the ring. There are, of course, many variations which are chosen.
......-.-•.•..-....................,.J'.-.-.............-....................-.-...-............. From Bugling To Grave Yards, Interest of Satve Runs A Wide Gamut In the past year, Regina Tracy, Salve junior, has acquired a taste for graveyards. Last year, friends of hers who had travelled t o England returned with a collection of gravestone rubbings. Her interest in art sparked her consequent desire to acquire a similar collection for herself. "Gravestones," says Regina, "are the earliest sculptural form in America. Since the first colonists were escatologically oriented, they felt their most important t ask was the preparation for death, and so, they threw their money into tombstones." Various designs and motifs were utilized, the earliest being a skull design. Then appeared a transitional figure which blended some of the skull features with the features of an angel. Between 1700 and 1750, the design developed into complete angel figures. Gravestones between 1750-1800 used the angel motif, but to a lesser degree, and there develops a greater concern with portraitures of the diseased. Various other designs are seen during this time, such as a sunrise motif, and an index finger pointing heavenward with the inscription "Gone Home." After 1800, during the Federalist Period, the art trends of gravestones returned to a classical funeral urn design, and declines shortly after. The technique of making gravestone rubbings is relatively
simple and inexpensive. The required materials are rubbing wax, which comes in various colors, and Japanese rice paper. First, the stone is cleaned with a cloth. Then the rice paper is t aped over the stone, and rubbed with the block of wax. The elevated portions of the stone are reproduced exactly. · , Regina cites Newport as an especially good loaction for interesting gravestone due to its colonial heritage. Anne Quigley, Salve sophomore, is a three-year member of t h e Twenty-Seventh Lancers Drum and Bugle Corps, whose headquarters are at Revere, Massachusetts. The Corps is an organization composed of 110 people from the Boston area aged 15-21. The male members perform with bugles and drums, and the girls march in the color guard. The Corps practices and performs various routines, and travels throughout the country during the summer in competition with other groups in the United States. During the winter months, weekend trips are taken to New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Anne plans to continue in the Corps; she says that it -is "a lot of fun and a lot of work. But it's fantastic! You get to travel and meet so many people. I love it!"

Already, VES has received 18 applications and 29 inquiries from persons throughout the United States wanting to participate in the program.

Face It ... Are You Pregnant? Common to many campuses including Salve's has been the much-needed service of Pregnancy Counseling. Few Salve students seem to be aware of the availability of these services provided by the school nurse, Mrs. McGann R.N. During a recent interview she outlined these services. Immediately upon suspicion of pregnancy should be the confirmation through a test at the Visiting Nurse Service in Newport. Upon confirmation Mrs. McGann will discuss the relationship, any likelihood of marriage, and the responsibilities of the father. The controversial issue of determining wheth~r to tell the girl's parents is left entirely up to the girl. The mother-to~be is there referred to Dr. Chamiriadi, gyne-
cologist and obstetrician at the Aquidneck Medical Center in Newport. Also available is Birthright Counseling in Providence or the Child and Family Services of 24 School Street, Newport if funds are low or lacking. The doctor or service referred to w!Ji proceed from there. For those girls whose pregnancy test was n~gative, Mrs. McGann recommends obtaining information on birth control from the Planned Parenthood Visiting Nurse Service on Chapel Street in Newport or some similar agency. Pamphlets are provided in. Mrs. McGann's office on Birth Control and Venereal Disease. Visits, strictly confidential, are encouraged by Mrs. McQann if any questions concerning pregnancy arises.
He points t o six clusters of problems that tend to block the road to extensive reform: 1. Professional study in educa- , tion generally emphasizes standard academic sub j e c t s, selfcontained classrooms, inflexible daily and yearly classroom schedules, a program confined almost entirely within the school building, use of only a few textbooks and other materials, and stress on class lectures and the dispensing of knowledge. 2. Teachers and those preparing to teach tend to be conformist or are forced into being conservative, middle-class models for the young to emulate. There are seldom dissenters or protesters. 3. "Showing and telling" are featured in teacher education. Graduate education courses "almost always devised by college professors, too often are slwddily put together, rapid weary ef: forts.'' Sharpening performance by teaching under supervision ends with preservice teacher education- there is no continuum on through in-service education. ·4. Most schools are not sufficiently experimental in Innovative curriculum or new training and staffing patterns. 5. Teachers frequently do npt understand the philosophical and pedagogical changes intended in new curriculum developments. As a result, curricu1um projects conceived to engage students -in discovery, inquiry, application of knoweldge, and similar desirable pursuits tend to wind up as mere changes in subject matter presented by the same old methods. 6. Little has been done about defining and demonstrating new teaching roles. · "If preservice and in-service t eacher education are to prepare teachers for new devel opmen~s in curriculum content, new concepts of school, and new staffing patterns, these six problems present some hellishly difficul t roadblocks," Edelfelt says. "A t eacher education program could worl( into all of these problems gradually, and that is how it may happen. However, it may be too late for gradualism if educator'S are to exert initiative and leadership. If there is much delay, someone else will be calling the tune."

interrogated, it would be his responsibility to his profession to go t o jail. Q. The Nixon Administration is obviously more anti-media than other recent administrations. What are the reasons for this? A. The case with Nixon rests primarily with such affairs as I.T. & T. and the Watergate In~ cident. He felt the media did an injustice to these incidents, causing them to be blown into full proportioned scandals. Nixon is also more hesitant in dealing with the Press because he feels he's in a more critical postion than others were. This is certainly understandable with regard to the Vietnamese War. Nixon feared a leakage of information could hinder the release of the P.O.W.'s. I do feel, however, that most reporters attempt to honestly represent intentions and Nixon is being too cautious.
