Faculty Curriculum Committee Ratifies SAAC Constitution The Constitution of the Student Academic Affairs Committee was ratified last week by the faculty Educational Policies and Curriculum Committee.

Maureen Daley, chairman of the student committee, said that the constitution provides for several new changes. Among these is a joint student-faculty committee agenda. It is hoped that with the new agenda and the formation of joint subcommittees, the faculty and students will be able to combine their efforts to work for academic improvement.

Also, one student representative will attend the faculty meetings, and one faculty representative will attend the student meetings. Both will be permanent participators but will have no vote. In addition to this, the interchange of the minutes of both committees is intended to foster better relations and communications.

Department heads will be meeting with their students within the next few weeks, according to Miss Daley, and the students of each department will choose their representative to the Student Academic Affairs Committee. A revised academic calendar will be the first order

of business for the new chairman and representatives.

The student committee, serving in an advisory capacity to the Dean of 1Studies, hopes to add to the changes brought a,bout last year, which included some lessening of course requirements and the creation of a liberal arts minor.

Mother-Daughter Weekend Scheduled For March 7-8 Delicious food, a modern play and folksinging will highlight Mother - Daughter W e e k e n d , March 7-8, which is sponsored by the Student Nurse Organization.

The weekend, which is opened to the entire student body, will begin Saturday with registration at Oehre Court and a special luncheon at Miley. A Happy Hour at Sully's will follow with Kathy Knapp '72 supplying folk entertainment. . A sit-down dinner at the Shamrock Cliffs is planned for Saturday evening followed by a freshman production of The Lark, by Jean Anouilh, to be held at Rogers High. A special mass and brunch on Sunday will bring the weekend to a close.

Tuition Increase Strikes Sour Note A $300.00 increase, raising the tuition to $1,700.00 for the 1970-71 academic year was made known this week and many students and parents have already . expressed their chagrin.

We all realize that the cost of education is rising, the faculty must receive adequate salaries and students want more and better courses. Some of the departments, such as the Fine Arts department proposed for next year, need new facilities. To expect the tuition to remain constant in a college which is expanding as rapidly as Salve, is unrealistic.

However, the tuition has been increased every year for the last three years; all classes presently enrolled at Salve Regina College have b~en subjected to the annual increase. What students, and their parents, are objecting to, then, is the fact that they are paying substantially more now than when they enrolled. ( Next year's seniors paid $1,900.00 for tuition, room and board as freshmen. ) Many chose Salve because it wai- less expensive than other private institutions.

A number of proposals have been made to lessen the burden on the students, especially the upper classmen who will not be personally benefitting from the expansion program. _One such measure is a graduated !uition fee, with the bulk of the expense paid by incoming freshmen who will know from the beginning that Salve will be an expensive school. Mr. John Renza, VicePresident for Financial 1Affairs, has already assured some students that there will be no tuition increase in the 1971-72 academic year. Perhaps, in that case, the tuition increase could be gradual, $150.00 this year and $150.00 the following year.

Many students now feel that they will be unable to return to Salve Regina next year if the tuition is raised to $1,700.00.

Therefore, it is hoped that some compromise will be reached.

Music Paves Road To Progress The Salve Regina College Glee Club, under the direction of Glenn N. Giuttari, has come a long way from the Glee Club of the past. The group has brought out of itself a whole new spirit and a sound that is very much alive and very much open to what is happening in music today.

Having present~d two very successful concerts during the past semester, the Glee Club is again planning a full schedule for the next few months. On March 15, they will perform in Ochre Court with the Rhode Island Civic Chorale and Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Louis Pitchieri. A concert in the New York- New Jersey area in the spring is in the planning stage. The Fordham University Glee Club will do a combined concert with the Salve Regina Glee Club here on May 2. Also in May; the Glee Club will perform at the Silver Tea and will sing the Baccalaureate Mass on May 24.

With a full schedule and an abundance of enthusiasm the Glee Club looks to the college community for support. Progress does echo in the halls of our college but do we take the time to listen?

Letters to the Editor

TO THE STUDENT BODY: We wish to express our thanks to the Student Congress for inviting us to participate in the meeting with the student body on January 20th. Many of the students do not seem to recognize the amount ' of work done by the Student Congress and other committees of student affairs. They giv·e generously of their time and are most- sincere in their _commitment to represen,t the opinion of the majority.

This is no easy tas·k . During the months we have worked together we. have grown to respect each other as individuals striving for a common goal, though not always in agreement as to how this is to be reached.

If we all try to build on a solid foundation of mutual understanding and respect for each other, as students, faculty, and administration, (recognizing that no one of us can exist without the other) Salve Regina· College can become unique in its time. When disenchantment is the vogue and tempo on most college campuses, we should try to reach beyond this, and rather than imitate - innovate. This is not an impossible dream.

- Lucy Ann Shannon - Sister Sheila O'Brien

On Thursday, January 22 I attended the Student - Faculty basketball game. I must admit that some students did show support by att.ending, but the faculty team consisted only of two members. Also adding to the embarraiisment of all present, a Salve . psychology_ department counselor had to remove his jacket and tie to play in the game.

I feel that the entire community, students, facurty and administration, had better take a close look at their contribution to the institution Salve Regina College, as well as the individuals involved here.

Having been a Salve student for a semester, I feet I am able to qualify myself and yearn for an escape from our apathy.

To the Editor: With an additional increase of $300 in tuition, I think that a brief inquiry into the present situation and the plans for next year, is not only necessary, but definitely justifiable. In fact, do you blame the students for being a ,little apprehensive about donating an additional $300 dollars when they fail to see the significance of the present $2400 ?

Everything here on this campus is by rumor, or at least by word of mouth. This word of mouth information ·usually turns out to be an ugly rumor! The raise in tuition is a fine, recent example. I understand the fa<;ulty didn't even know about it!

For students who can't afford the addition, second semester surely doesn't give them much time to complete transfer requirements. But the biggest gripe of all, is the fading verbal promise heard last year: no increase next year due to an increase this year! I stand to be corrected but when it comes to whether I stay in school or leave due to monetary reasons, I try to get the story straight.

I now understand that the price per credit has been increased from $30 to $45. Granted that the academic situation has . improved greatly, and that teachers of high caliber warrant good wages, but why must we be so restricted in our selection of courses? An 18 credit limit seems quite ridiculous. In fact, those who want to choose electives should be able to do ·s o without being penalized. If we must pay for additional credits, why then, are we not billed by credits? If my calculations are correct that would come to $1620 for the coming year, 18 credits having been elected each semester. At this rate, I could elect _an additional course with the difference in tuition.

I also understand that Salve plans to establish a Fine Arts Center with a major and minor in Fl.ne Arts. This is all very fine and good, needless to say, this place could stand a little Continued on Page 5

Plans Announced For · Student Service Corps Plans for the development of a Student Service Corps at Hope Center in Portsmouth have been announced by Dr. Lester Carr, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Sister Sheila, Dean of Women, and Miss Lucy Ann Shannon.

The plans include a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children, a regional Mental Health and Special Education Center that will provide service for s c h o o 1 children throughout Newport County, and 0a new research, computertype facility. In addition, the Portsmouth school system, starting this semester, has regular classes and special education classes located at Hope Center.

The Director of Special Education for Newport County, Mr. Odie Hilton, will have his offices located at Hope Center.

First In Rhode Island Dr. Patricia Fontes of the Psychology Department has applied for funds to initiate a vocational education research program at Hope Center. With the development of these creative , programs, Hope Center will be one of the first facilities in the New England .a rea, and the only facility in Rhode Island, that can boast of providing a full range of interdisciplinary services for children.

Hope Center is seen ,as an integral part of the Salve campus community. The intention is to have creative, innovative programs at Hope Center that are directly tied to academic departments at Salve Regina College. Students in a variety of majors and minors would have an opportunity to participate in practicum experiences in line with their classroom studies.

Dr. Carr stated, "We would even like to go one step further - To Dream The 'Possible' Dream - and we ask you, as members of the campus community, to share with us in · bringing this dream to a reality.

Student Support "We are very much at the

beginning stages of developing this reality and are looking to students on campus to help us realize the full potential of the effort. The basic philosophy underlying this program is the formation of an experimental student community which would provide for in-depth residential living experiences at Hope Center. Approximately 30 Salve students, juniors and seniors, would live and work together sharing training and education derived from supervised participation in the service projects indicated above."

Broad Program Service opportunities, according to Dr. Carr, will include experiences in research, the teaching of the emotionally disturbed and educationally handicapped, menta,l health and social service case aids, computer evaluation, and general involvement in developing a research demonstration behaviorally-oriented residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children.

"But again, all of this is in the beginning stages and we need your help to truly make this a worthwhile reality."

In this spirit, a Hope Student · Service Committee composed of Dr. Lester Carr, Miss Lucy Ann Shannon, Sister Sheila, facuity members from different departments and three juniors and three seniors is being formed.

Membership will involve students right across majors and minors; for example, nursing, sociology, psychology, creative arts, mathematics, etc.

"We plan to coordinate the efforts of this committee with Student Congress, the Student Academic Affairs Committee, Faculty Senate, and students and faculty as a . whole," commented Dr. Carr. "We als.o hope to have some of our alumnae involved. Please feel free to contact any members of the committee at any time. With your help, this dream will become a. reality in September."

Congratulation~

Letters

"If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for woe's sake onl.y."

Continued from Page 2 cvlture; but who do they expect to take these courses, if the 18 cre<lit limit isn't lifted? It is quite obvious that the upperclassmen, who must help pay for this Center, will not be able to use it. They cannot at this time change their majors or minors.

I feel that a little consideration should be given not only to the upperclassmen in particular, but also to the potential upperclassmen, who in fact, make up this school and actually pay the bills.

'Students who are dissatisfied will not hesitate to leave and although you may hear "If you don't like it, leave!" enough students are leaving already and why in reality should we be forced to pay for those who have left or for those who will be leaving! I imagine that this place is trying hard to 'do the best thing possib!!l,' but perhaps they should try a - little harder.

I know that I'm no authority on business management and maybe I don't have much of a concept of the problems, but I know what I see and hear and I know that a lot of people are dissatisfied, including myself. I don't want to leave, but I might be ·forced to.

Perhaps if the 18 credit limit was lifted, improvements in the library accomplished, the Fine Arts Center and a Student Union for that well-rounded Salve girl, made a reality, I might be able to see the justification in the tuition raise. Right now I fail to see it at all.

After considering some of the effects this lncrease will have, I feel thait the student body is entitled to an aiccounting of the present tuition and a written statement of the new definite plans to be enacted next year. I don't feel that this is too large a request considering the fact (perhaps insignificant) that it's our money that's being dealt with. And please! what we don't need now is another fading verbal promise! Thank you ?

Bashful Young Valentinos Yield To Cupid~s Arrows

By Karen Gross "Roses are red, violets are blue Sugar is sweet and so are you" For years rhymes such as this have been memorized and recited by bashful Romeos to their Juliets, roughly carved into the ebony bark of trees, and scribbled by many a nervous hand within the folds of lace-trimmed Valentines. Whether you've ever murmured or have been the recipient of such phrases of affection it may interest you to know that history and tradition continue to accent the exclusiveness of the day prescribed solely for lovers . . . February -14.

Historically, Valentines Day .p robably dates back to the days when the Roman festival Lupercalia was celebrated. As custom 'ruled, thE: young Romans put the names of young maidens into a box and then drew one out by chance. The girl whose name was chosen then became his partner for the festivities of the day.

With the introdu<:tion of Christianity, these f e s t i v a l s which honored the pagan gods and goddesses were abolished.

The people, however, had become so accustomed to the rites involved in this holiday that the Pope had to substitute another patron for the Christians. Bishop

Valentine, a churchman -who was beheaded on February 14 because he cured his jailkeepers daughter of blindness, is believed to be our St. Valentine.

A multitude of practices, mostly concerned with romance and the choice of mates, have since sprung from the origins of this day. Single girls had a number of ways of learning the identity of their .future husbands. For example, young maidens often wrote names of young suitors on paper and rolled them in small pieces of clay. After dropping the morsels into a vessel filled with water, they would watch for the first to float to the top. It was believed that this name would mark one's true valentine.

The young girls of Derbyshire, England also believed that if they would encircle a church twelve times at midnight, February 14, repeating: "I sow hempseed, hempseed I sow, he that loves me best, come after me now." Their true valentine was then expected to appear.

The sophistication of the 20th century has little, if any, room for superstitions such as those previously mentioned.

Single girls no longer attach five bay leaves to their pillows in hope that they will see their future spouses in their dreams. However, the next time your favorite beau whispers sweet nothings in your ear or some young gentleman catches your eye, think about it ... cupid may be glancing over your shoulder.

Reduced Rates At Ski Areas A new plan to allow college, graduate, and professional school students to ski at reduced rates is now in its third month of operation.

Under the plan, announced jointly by a large group of Eastern ski areas and the Student Ski Association, any college or graduate-level student with a Student Ski Card and a college I.D. receives special rates every time he skis.

On any non-holiday weekday the lift ticket cost is only one: half of the regular weekend rate.

When available, ski school classes and ski equipment rentals are ·a lso half-price at most participating areas.

On weekends and during holi· day periods (such as Washington's Birthday week) the student saves $1 on his all-day all-area' lift ticket.

Many of the areas are also giving reduced rates for their night skiing.

Well known s)d resods including Mt. Snow and Jay Peak in Vermont, Vernon Valley, N. J., Mt. Tom, Mass., Mittersill and Mt. Cranmore, N. H. are participating. Recent additions are.

Squaw Mountain, 'Me., Haystack, Vt., and Intermont, N. Y. In all more than 25 Eastern areas are in the program.

View And Beview

By Nancy Crane Curiosity reached its peak as "Magic Galoop" flickered excitedly through every corner and aspect of the campus. Salve's anticipation was f i n a 11 y rewarded with the first issue of a literary magazine.

The editorial board, Ruth Dupuy, Patricia Peak, Kathryn Mccourt, Kathy Shinners, Jeanne Kelley, Sue Dantino, Patricia Parisi, Ann Crowley and Ann . O'Donnell, deserve commendation for their long hours of hard work. Admittedly, they hope to obtain an appropriation from Student Congress for expansion and printing the literary publication next year.

Gallant Effort Although Magic Galoop cannot be overlooked as a gallant effort it lacks the necessary di· versity of technique and style.

Unfortunately only occasional illustrations broke the monotony of the poetry selections. Such a magazine should encompass all other literary forms of expression. Contemporary essays; short stories, dramas, art motifs, as well as photography would greatly enhance its quality.

The diversity of subject matter in the poetry is certainly one point in its favor. Topics range from humorous and simple de· scriptions of places and feelings to complex interpretations of life or political satires , and elegies.

It is evident that some talent exists, but it is .unfortunate that the major portion of the poems were not refined and more conscientiously selected.

Artistic Description Among the better selections I would choose '.'A Pause" by '.l'heresa Cox. Her artistic descri,ption of a common situation is blended ·with a contemporary flavor by the comparison of the draining humanity with the drip· ping water from a drain pipe.

The brightness and beauty of nature are expounded in her use of colors, especially of reds and yellows. One may easily relate to this poem both in the description and the depth of feeling, ex-

pressed in a gracefully moving pattern of free verse.

Spring Edition The next copy of "Magic Galoop" will appear in the Spring affording us another opportunity to discover the latent talents this campus has. to offer. Only one faculty member, Sister Barbara M. Calavecchio, contributed to this issue. It would be good if more of the faculty would offer material for the ensuing issues.

The bare foot drawn on the cover symbolizes that "Magic Galoop" is on its way. But progress will be slow and even im· possible without support. "A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step."

Basketball Team Braves Faculty

By Kathy Shinners On Thursday, January 22, ~ewport's famous Hut was the scene of another exciting display by the Salve Regina Basketball team. For this occasion, the team was asked to use its renowned talent for the benefit of the Junior Class. An exhibition game was held between Salve's best and the faculty, which consisted of Dr. Lester Carr and Stanley Grashow.

Faculty took an early lead and failed to relinquish it. , A valiant effort was made by the Salve team to recover, but Paula Walker's girls could not match the amazing effort of two brave men, defending the honor of so many faculty members.

Ch~ering- was provided by a group called the "Salve Flamers," fashionably clad, and in high spirits. The highlight of their routine was the Alma . Mater sung by a 12-girl pyramid.

The Junior Class would like to thank all those spectators, the cheerleaders, and two' faculty, who showed so much support.

It is spirit like this that will make our school a growing, dynamic institution.
