EBB TIDE

Well another year is almost over and there is another graduating class soon to become alumnae of Salve.

The Class of '73 has been a dynamic one, the leadership they have rendered has won them much respect from underclassmen.

Remember the rough times?

The strikes and long hours of

discussion and all the frustrations. But remember the good times. I think, perhaps, they always outweigh the bad - and they are the lingering memories.

We wish you all the luck in the world, that you find the peace and happiness you truly deserve.

Letters to the Editor Eileen Cullen, Editor Ebb Tide The suggestion has been made (Ebb Tide April 12) that the coffeehouse obtain a liquor license in order to attract a greater number of customers. The thought has been suggested several times before and apparently it is a popular idea. It seems likely, furthermore, that sometime in the near future, it may be done.

It is unnecessary for me to say that the coffeehouse is not a popular activity here. Generally, we attract about ten customers, many of whom are not members of the college. We have tried a number of means to create interest in the coffeehouse, but response remains small.

The coffeehouse, essentially, has been a facility which attempts to provide musical entertainment. The quality of the performers has been consistently good, and at times outstanding.

Many of the listeners return week after week, and genuinely seem to enjoy themselves. It would seem that that in itself has value. Assumed in the operation of the coffeehouse has been the belief that liquor is not the necessary foundation for every recreational activity. Perhaps I am ,antiquated in believing this.

However, I am not convinced that we are entirely in the wrong.

Changing the coffeehouse to a liquor establishment would have considerable effect: it simply would transfer the center of interest from the performer and the music to the liquor. This would be very unfortunate, I feel, for both musician and audience. We have tried to provide an alternative to Sully's and the Frat House. The student body has not responded : they have ignored us. Now, if permission can be obtained to convert the coffeehouse into a liquor establishment, and if there are interested and willing individuals to run and patronze it, it would be selfish of us not to concede. Suggestions regarding any aspect of this would be greatly appreciated.

Nancy Walsh Dear Editor, In response to both "Malnourished" and "No Jelly," I would like to offer this: I, too, agree that the food in our cafeteria is of good quality and that the preparation of it does need improvement. But, I know that any member of the kitchen crew would gladly give a student a warmer piece of chicken and they have been known to accept back pieces of steak which did not satisfy a student. · I ·am a membE)r of Food Coun~ cil and our function· is to act as a mediator between the students

and the kitchen staff. Periodically, we collect suggestions for improvements for and complaints about the cafeteria from the students in our dorms, and then meet with Russ and John in order to explain these notes. It is our job then to return notes about this meeting to the students in explanation about their complaints - that is, if certain complaints are valid and if certain suggestions are feasible.

The kitchen staff certainly tries to carry through as many suggestions as possible and they do listen and try to improve complaints. However, no one can do the impossible - that is, being able to satisfy everyone; I feel that it is very unfair of students to expect the kitchen to do that.

As far as certain combinations meals are concerned, mistakes have been made, but they have also been corrected.

And referring to certain 'unsanitary conditions' - the kitchen staff certainly should not have to take the responsibility of the immaturity and ignorance of some students. I am sure their parents h.a ve taught them manners at home, but if students don't have the maturity to act in a responsible way in the cafeteria (that is, by putting cigarette butts in an ash tray instead of a sugar bowl ... ) then maybe it should be the responsibility of their friends t o help them grow up. Why not try to set them straight by explaining that their actions are taken as a personal offense?

In conclusion, I would like everyone to think seriously about our cafeteria - that is, how professionally it is run, how considerate and qualified the staff members are and how they take seriously our problems and complaints.

I am glad to hear no one complaining about all the ingredients made available everyday for sundaes!

Angi DeOrchis Dear Editor, As a confirmed animal lover, I would like to speak out about a situation at the college, which I find somewhat appalling.

During the year, many students adopt animals that they find around town. They seem to be well cared for while here, and appear to get a lot of attention.

They are, however, many times abandoned at the end of the year, a practice, which seems to me, extremely cruel. An animal shelter does exist in Newport.

If you want a pet during the year, fine. But please, have the common decency and responsibility to make some provision for it when you leave for summer vacation.

The Editor-in-Chief and the Moderator of Ebb Tide wish to announce the appointment of Terri Kubitschek as the new Editor-in-Chief of Ebb Tide for the academic year 1973-74. Terri worked on the staff this year in the capacity of an associate editor..

On The Finer Side the red claw splinters between steel cylinders green leaf drop over the ice dance for a penny and return to the wood the greasey liquid saturates the flesh with speckled dots as the knife slashes savagely travel to the land of german gipsies and bathtub bootleggers for thine is the kingdom a shell in the box of ocean quietly, quelling the night rush through the prismed mist sink low in velour the ranch boasts steers and gin folksingers and fireplaces glassey silver vibrating air play for the minstrel until evening sweeps souls on flapping wings to myriadal reincarnations.

Nostalgia Hits Newport ... It is a period piece with an unusual degree of permanent value, having the sadness and the remote jauntiness of a GershWin tune, the same touches of slightly bogus romanticism the stiff tinny drip of the banjcies on the lawn; the headlights of departing cars which wheel like long gold antennae across the obscurity of the 'soft black morning.'"

This "piece" of course, is the Great Gatsby of F. Scott and the jazz era. By now everyone knows that Gatsby is soon to become a major motion picture. · Naturally many facts and fantasies have set Newport abuzzing. Where will G at s b y be filmed ? Who are the stars?

Whom do you call for a part as an extra?

This much is known: filming will take place in Newport, Long Island, Manhatten and England.

R o s e c 1 i f f mansion has been leased to Paramount Pictures for an eight month period by the Preservation Society. Construction has already begun on the Rosecliff grounds. Shooting is scheduled to begin on May 28 with the famous lawn party.

Francis Ford Coppola, a recent Oscar recipient for The Godfather, has been selected to write the screenplay.

Production will be headed by David Merrick with Hank Moonjean as as:oistant and Jack Clayton, directing.

Contrary to early Paramount

releases, Ali McGraw will not piay the role of Daisy. Due to a split with Paramount's executive producer for Steve McQueen, she was "moved from the part."

Mia Farrow, of Peyton Place and Rosemary's Baby fame, will star in the coveted role of Daisy.

Miss Farrow's only noticeable drawback for the part is her size and childlike appearance.

Whereas Daisy wa~; a capricious, vital girl, Mia Farrow's 5' 5¥.a" frame borders on fraility.

Lord Snowden, the ·photographer reports he will take many stills to paint her "tougher for the part.''

The role of Gatsby has been landed by Robert Redford. Redford has recently been seen in Jeremiah Johnson and the spectacular Man in the Wilderness.

Bruce Dern has been cast in the role of Tom, "a sturdy, straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and supercilious manner.'' Dern recently appeared in King of Marvin Gardens.

K a r e n B 1 a c k co-stars as Myrtle, a woman "in her middle thirties, and faintly stout, but who carried her surplus flesh as sensuously as some women can."

Miss Black co-starred in Five Easy Pieces, for which she won an Academy Award. She has also been recently seen in Portnoy's Complaint.

The role of Nick has not been cast, as yet.

Other scoops: the crew of

Gatsby has moved into the Sherwood Arms Apartments to begin film preliminaries. Several breakfasts and cocktail parties have been planned by the publicity committee.

The Annandale and Auchincloss stables will also be used for shooting. The former De La Salle Academy will house c.ostumes.

Principles are scheduled to arrive on May 15. (Specials to Redford fans: There's a good chance that Robert and family will live on the 'Auchincloss estate).

Although it's been hushed, there's a possibility that Salve's own Mercy Theater will be involved in Gatsby filming.

Already people have been plaguing the Newport News with questions about getting a bit part. Stories claim extra's salary to be as low as $14.00 or as high as $60.00 per night. Despite the dreams and flying fantasies of meeting Redford, Gatsby is coming! Newport on guard!

Resident Assistant Selected "The Resident Assistant is an invaluable member of the College Administrative Staff" . . . and thus runs the first sentence introducing to a prospective applicant one of the most interesting positions on Salve's campus.

The program was first introduced to Salve Regina under the administration of Sister Sheila O'Brien and Miss Lucy Shannon, Director of Residences, in 1970.

Prior to this a designated number of nuns lived in each dorm working in tandem with women Hall Directors. The fall of 1971 saw the complete transition to the Resident Assistant program which has proved quite successful.

The job today can only be defined as a complexity of responsibilities, sometimes frustrating but mostly satisfying. (This has been proven by the fact that all. who took the position in their junior year re-applied for their senior year). The functions, ex-

S.N.E.A. President Chosen The Salve chapter of the S.N.E.A. held their annual elections this past week. Jane Williams is the new President of S.N.E.A. for the academic year 1973-74, while Kathy McMullen is Vice- President and Anne Marie Quigley is SecretaryTreasurer. All three new officers have been active members

of the club. The new officers are planning to introduce some new and interesting events for next year in an effort to activate the interest of the studen body. Jane Williams as the new president wishes to view S.N.E.A. as "dead but being reborn". Good luck to the new officers of S.N.E.A.

tensively outlined to each candidate, consist basically of upholding the policies and regulations established for the general welfare of the college community, and being the first immediate and friendly ear a student may turn to with any sort of problem.

A competent Resident Assistant must therefore be able to budget her own time first, and then be able to inter-changeably act as friend, counselor, and mediator, as well as remembering she is a staff member.

The job has proved everpopular as over 25 girls applied or re-applied early this past spring. Those appointed for 197374 are: Tizzy von Trapp, Ginette Beaudoin, Diane Christy, Jane W i 11 i a m s, Terri Kubitschek, Mariadonna McCarthy, R o s emary Rogers, Ellen Mary Carroll, and Nancy Schneider.

Not enough can be said about the crucial position the Resident Assistant sometimes plays on this campus, whether it be between students or between student and Administration. Girls who have been Residents Assistants are the best spokesmen for the valuable · two-fold opportunity of getting to know more students and learning to handle the responsibilities.

The position therefore stre910es the constant need for open communication and adaptability on the part of all members of /Salve's academic community.

During the week of March 12, five of Salve Regina's politically minded students travelled to Washington, D. C., where they spent the entire week worldng in the offices of the two Senators.

They attended Senate meetings and were able to catch a glimpse of the government in Washington first hand. The girls able to see their government in action. Some of them sat on a Congressional hearing at which Charlton Heston testified. Other such meetings and hearings were attended.

They also visited the Congressional Library and other historic landmarks. For all the girls it was a very rewarding and educational experience.

The girls. gave reasons why they wished to participate in such a program. Lyn Kennedy viewed it "as an opportunity to see what has thus far been only abstractions on the pages of books." Terri saw it as an opportunity to gain experience in her chosen field of law. While Kathleen and Maureen were taking this time to learn more about their government. And Susan Pettit wanted "to see how government is, if it really is like 'Washington Payoff' labels it as."

This week in Washington gave each girl her golden opportunity to really see her U.S. government.

Journey Through The Time Tunnel On April 5, 1973 I was catapulted backwards in time to the sixteenth century to view the rather spectacular actions of Henry the Eighth, King of Tudor England. This fantastic voyage was provided for me by the play "Royal Gambit". The play opened with a review of his wives and continued for the next two hours with a capsulated history of each of their destructions.

In my opinion, the play was extremely well-done. The acting of all the characters, especially that of Toby Webb as Henry, was superb. Each wife, portrayed by some of Salve's students, was brought to life beautifully by the talent of the actresses. Besides the acting, _the staging and lighting served only to heighten the effect of the play. Both the lighting and the use of the stage was extraordinary.

I did find that towards the end the play seemed to drag.

There were some unnecessary pauses which I felt could have been eliminated. It could have been shortened and still held the special aura that it created. On the whole, "Royal Gambit" was a great success.

Cultural Enrichment Program During the lusty month of May, the Creative Arts Department at Salve tapped the college's own resources, with a resultant program that proved to be both diversified and inspired.

The two week cultural marathon began on Tuesday, May 1, with the Civilisation Series' "The Worship of Nature", which studied the birth of Romanticism with Rousseau, Goethe, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, and the painters Constable and Turner.

On Thursday evening, May 3, a program of one act plays, written, produced, and directed by students was presented at Salve's Creative Arts Center. Noc~ Requiem, by Maria McCarthy, traced the frustrated ambitions of a woman and her ensuing breakdown. The roles in the play were realized by Maria McCarthy as Mrs. Morrison, Don McCarthy as David, Karl Nykaza as Brian, Lynn Burke as Zelda Fitzgerald, Pat Cusak as Scottie Fitzgerald, and Dale Mecca as the Rabbi· and Mr. Morrison. Liz Marcussen's play, The Ballet Lesson, also dramatized frustrated ambitions in the Van Itallien motif of verbal and physical choreography. Realizing the roles were Liz Marcusson as the Teacher, and Students 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 created by Janet Starr, Denise Gagnon, Laurie Maurer, Pat Cusack and Anne Meran, respectively, On Saturday afternoon, May 5, the Salve Glee Club, under the direction of Glenn Giuttari, presented a joint concert with the Glee Club of Fordham University, directed by Dr. James Kurz.

The featured work was the Bach Cantata 106, "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit" (God's own time is the best). The performance was executed with the original instrumentation for recorder and gamba solo.

The evening of May 5 was witness to a repeat performance of H e r m a n n Gressieker's Royal Gambit by Salve's Theatre Division, under the direction of Miss

Joan David, assisted by Paula O'Malley. Creating the roles in the play's exploration of the conscience of modern man were Lt. (J.G.) Toby Webb as Henry VIII, with Terri Kubitschek as Katarina of Aragon, Maria McCarthy as Anne Boleyn, Debbie Hoffman as Jane Seymour, Angi DeOrchis as Anna of Cleves, Janet Dawson as Kathryn Howard, and Denise Foley as Kate Parr.

On Sunday, May 6, at Newport's United Congregational Church, Salve's Glee Club participated in a service held as part of the celebration of Rhode Island's Independence Day. They performed four anthems. Also on May 6, as part of Salve's traditional spring weekend, art students held an outside exhibit of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and pottery on the grounds of Wakehurst.

On Tuesday, May 8, the Civilisation series continued with "The Fallacies of Hope" which followed the Age of Reason into the Age of Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire. The study h i g h 1 i g h t e d the works of Beethoven and Goya, Gericault, Delacroix, and Rodin.

On Thursday, May 10, students in the applied music program at Salve presented a recital at Ochre Court, performing works for both piano and voice. Performing students of Miss Anna Fiore were Brenda b. Schoolfield and Terri Kubitschek. Mrs. Schoolfield presented Prelude and Fugue in B Fat Major BWV 866 by J. S. Bach, Etude Op. 25 No. 1 by F. Chopin, and Prelude No. 2 by G. Gershwin. Miss Kubitschek performed Sonata Op. 2 No. 1 (Allegro) by L. van Beethoven, Reverie by C. Debussy and Bear Dance by D. Bartok. Voice and piano students of Sr. Marianne Postiglione also performed. On piano, Barbara Richardt presented Fantasia Impromptu C Sharp Minor Op. 66

by Chopin. Also on piano were Angela Reo who presented Piano

Fashion Revival In the fall of 1972, Woman's Wear Daily traveled to Paris for a showing of designer Kenzo Takada's newest creations. To everyone's astonishment, t h e "creations" were white flannel slacks and t r i c o 1 o r tennis sweaters. Woman's Wear Daily, knowing a good idea at once, christened the designer line, "The Great Gatsby Look."

The Gatsby Look is becoming an obsession with the announcement that the film The Great Gatsby will soon begin shooting.

Bergedorf Goodman, one of New York's foremost department stores, opened a "Daisy Bou-

Cindi Donovan, a nursing major, was the treasurer for Student Congress '72-73. Among her activities, she has been the student representative on the Administrative Budget Committee.

She is listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities" and is a newly ·inducted member of Sigma Phi Sigma.

tique" in eleven of it's stores.

Not to be outdone, Bloomingdales soon opened several "Great Scott Shops."

M a k e u p industries quickly latched onto the idea. Revlon created "the look for spring, right out of F. Scott .Fitzgerald," with a variety of lipsticks, cremes, and nail enamels. The titles herald the look, "Daisy Pink," "Paradise Pink," "Tender Pink," etc. Estee Lauder advertized "she's Daisy, Nichole and Zelda all rolled into one" with bee-stung lips and feverishly red cheeks."

Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Mademoiselle devoted entire sections to the Gatsby craze.

What exactly does the look consist of? For women, it is kicky pleated skirts, ten n is sweaters, cloches and slinky crepe gowns. The male version is reminiscent of an old Fred Astaire movie - pleated flannels, two-tone wingtips, · bowties and starched Panama's.

With the filming of Gatsby due to begin shortly in Newport, it is probable that "the Gatsby Look" will find a home and several avid proponents here. . Maria McCarthy

Sonata by L. van Beethoven and Diane Christy who played Fantasia I in D minor by W. A. Mozart. Miss Christy also sang a program comprised of "Vergebliches Standchen" (The Vain Suit) by J.
