The popularity of skiing has been steadily on the rise. Every year more and more people, both young and old start heading for the slopes. From December, when most people are on Christmas vacations, right on through late March and early April there is a steady flow of skiers crowding the slopes. Around New England the best skiing can be found in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and upper New York state. Some of the more popular ski resorts are Stowe, Mt. Snow, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, Magic Mountain and ~rom ley, among scores of other places. Besides skiing, most of these places provide other activities as skating, tobaggoning, ski-dooing, indoor swimming and what everyone looks forward to after a day of skiing or whatever, a huge, warm fire to relax by. fl For those who are just taking up the sport, instead of investing a lot of money in expensive equipment, the sensible thing to do is rent the equipment for the ·first few times, and then make the investment, or better yet, start skiing before Christmas and ask Santa for the equipmenb As far as clothing goes - a light weight parka, a warm sweater, either dungarees or ski pants, thermal underwear, heavy socks, a warm hat and warm mittens, are the basics. · For those here at Salve who ski or would like to ski there is a newly formed Ski Club on campus - watch for meeting days and bring your suggestions.
Nearly 100 U. S. and Canadian ski areas have joined the Student Ski Association's program of providing college students with half-price skiing. At press time, 97 North . American areas had joined, and Association Director Kim Chaffee admitted confidenti~ that well over 100 areas would be offering special student rates through the Association before winter. In its second year, the Student Ski Association is the largest national organization helpi~g college students and ski areas get together. Last year, Director Chaffee, older brother to Olympic Ski Team racers Suzy and Rick, signed up over 30 areas and a membership of .close,to 10,000. "We are confident this season," said the former Harvard and Berkley graduate, "that our membership will reach 80,000 college students." He points out that 25% of today's skiers are attending college or graduate school. "With over 8 million college students in the U.S. alone, the impact of this program on the skiing industry should be enormous." Now with a network of five full-time, regional managers, and over 1,000 college campus representatives acroso3 the U.S. and Canada, the Student Ski Association is engaged in a massive membership drive. Posters, flyers, ski shows, on-campus promotions are all aimed at bringing skiing to thousands of students.

When asked what qualities he would like to see in the new · -.,t of Salve Sister replied .t ideally she would like 'to see nun in the position for 'two ·tinent reasons.

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, h ave 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 o. 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 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 an(! th"' 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 e~cerpts from the U.1s . pastoral letter which he said embody the same Christian concerns which motivated the Cuban bishops to request an end to the embargo.

The following is an excerpt reprinted from the Newport Daily News, Friday, November 27, 1970, concerning Salve's Eleventh Hour and the Student Rights Bill: - " ... Ronald C. Brinn, vice-president of dev~lopment and public relations, said the students are s·e eking residence visiting hours, liberalized drinking regulations and extended leaves.... " The Department of Development and Public Relations seems to us to be lacking in the fulfillment of duties of the office. Based upon the evidence in the above excerpt we wish to comment. ·' Public Relations connotes informing the public of what is happening on our campus. If Mr. Brinn was fulfilling his obligations in this regard, he would have released a statement concerning the basic issue at hand ,: student rights and responsibilities, not drinking on campus, parietals and extended leaves. In holding an administrative seat on College Council and also serving on the Academic Freedom Committee which held open hearings on the Bill, Mr. Brinn has had ample opportunity to grasp the purpose of the Bill, however, present evidence does not reflect this ,purpose or intent. Although the news media may have asked specific questions about parietals and drinking, a good public relations man would have directed them to the mai:Q issue rather than beleaugering a specific. ' Is this good public relations? i

Response
Before we begin to respond to Sr. Marcella's letter, the editors of Ebb Tide would like to thank Sr. Mary Marcella, Mrs. Dutra and Mrs. Leandro for their interest and concern. We sincerely welcome and appreciate your responses. In regard to the Letter to the Editor by Sr. Mary Marcella, we feel that some clarification on our part is required. First of all, we recognize our error in stating that • the faculty had not been notified concerning ..reaccreditation, we also apologize. Our primary question in this case, however, was that students and faculty were not notified. Students did not receive letters of information as faculty did. There was no effort at all made to reach the students, as far as we can see. We do not consider our statements on accreditation a "story," but a critical observation. We wish to emphasize that the special edition was strictly for the purpose of editorializing. Sr. Mary Marcella's concern about statements which were released to the press, we al~o share. We, as editors of Ebb Tide have no part in the issuing of news reports to community newspapers. "A Student Congress member is usually the a.gent, however, these newspapers will accept information from anyone who will present it completely. The exact source (or sources) on which these articles were based is not known and it is possible that unauthorized people reported. · On this point, we would also like to question the "inaccurate or half truths" which we feel were presented to the community newspaper by the Public Relations Department, the official department for the release of news from the Salve campus. Again, we thank you Sister, for expressing your concern. \

Dear ElctiltOr: The, noti:f'ilaaition of Sal'Ve's being reconuneatded for reaooredita.tion for teill yea.rs was shared witll. the fil.Quity honestly and promprtlly. The nex.t step is tO await the offioia.l, putblic an· nouncem.elllt of the reaocred:iitation at the December meeting of the N em En.g>land ASSOCiia.tion. On reading the speldlia;l edition of Ebb Tide, I was parUC'Ularly disturbed at the veiled i.n.sinua·tions w.hi'ah. certainly cause un-
rest. For exaJl11Ple you state : "We quesbion the purpose and abi!lii£y of t:Jhe a:drninlistrait.ion -to sec:ure added faculty membelrs when those .alrei!Ldy inMolved in this oolilege are not d€1a1Jt with PI'O!Per'ly." ,,,
I am aJso concerned about sta.temem/ttl, eilther inaoourate or half trl.llths, wh.ioh have been re-• loosed to Itlhe newspa.pers. For example, the inoorroot enroll· ment figures and exp1a.nlaJtioo; the 9tatement conceTD.ing the approval by "the· faculty" oon· cernin.g the college going coed, and the fact that such a.pproval wa.s stymied by the ad.miltistra· tion. • May I ask from where this so-callled inlf011."1Tlaation is oomil'l@'?

Concerned

~
Concerned is a word which has been used or implied many times in the recent happenings here at Salve. It has been disputed and misinterpreted. Again we can go into semantics about it; again we can find discrepancies. Perhaps the dichotomies lie in the fact that students see things as students, faculty see -things as faculty, and administration see things as administration. Some times one or all of these factions are guilty of their concerned opinions. But on the other hand, one is never guilty. It is students who write and contribute to the publication of this newspaper. It is primarily their ideas and opinions that are manifested. Trut~ is our main concern. Objective truth, truth obtained totally away from the situation, is difficult to manifest. I do not feel that I can act as a faculty or administrative member in projecting truth. I am a student; I act as a student; I must edit as a student. I must also do my best in seeking out- all the facts. . Perhaps this is possible; perhaps it is not. Perhaps I have failed in my efforts; perhaps some feel I have failed. '-I accuse no one. I do the best I can. I trust I have not offended, or at least had no intention of offending, anyone. . If this has happened, I humbly apologize. Concerned, 1

Rev. Louis ·M.

I wish, how~r. to address myself to 'the now Olf the situaJtion. In reil.aJtion to the December issue, leJt me seloot a few poinlts mrude and comment on these. It is iJ1lCI()nceivalble to me that a studerut, bed ridden f.Jr days, haJS no transportation to the medical odentter and as· a result \Wllked 1Jwo mtle::; to receive care.

At this pointt I wish ~ to discus.s, more importa.nttly, th.e expeota.rtion that a qua1i!fied R.N. should "be aJble to administer any k·i nd of mediJoation when it is needed." No nurse is ever qualified to ,prescribe any mediooltions. Legally and professionally this is nqt wLthin her rea:lm of respon;si'bilitty. A campus nurse funoti<miS as any ., other nurse in as'SlOaiaJted areas of the heallth field. She WJOrks under the dlirootri.on of a phytsfu!ila.n who prescribes the course of treatment and foll.ow-•\lip. To e~ct diffeorenJtly demonstra:tes a g>.ra,ve misconoept:ion as to the role of a profeasionall nurse. Any student reoognizmg a need for health servli.ce has the righlt to see a p11ysiCiian rather than settling for the aspirinjuice routine. She need only voice this.

May I respond to Letter to the IDddltor Olf Ebb Tide, in the December 1970 edition? First of all, the IDdlltor'n note confuses me. The part of the staJtement Wlith reference to
anonymiJty "if the subcommittee wishes to have his or her name w:iil:lh.held," is not helpful in cla.ri.fyinlg the policy of the paper. I wiiJ!l therefure not comment on the signatur~. "Frustrated Freda." My expeii'IielliCe in college tea.:ohing rus well as some associrutiton W'LtJh the American College Hrea.!Jbh Association leads me to believe that generalized anxielby and di.sslaitisfaction on a schooJ or college campus is often fC>'CilSCd on the food '2rvice and/or the health S€Tvice. In ·the a:b.sentce Od' other ways to channel the psychic energy assooia:t:W witth this anxil)ty, these sezw.ices pr,pvide a useful fooal point.
You refer in your second paralgtrolph to ''medical ' standards." Have you used the American Colllege Health Associalti.on's l'CICQmme.ndaJtions in making this judgme+nt about th.is college's faotl!ilties? It is oust.ornar:v. for physicians to s.uggesJt "2 aspirins and a can of juioe" to • othenvise heal1fuy indivti.duals who complain of the initial symptoms of an upper respiPatory infeati~n. Rest, concern and ruttte111tion to subseque:ruf. exacerbation of symptoms, including fever, are expedted to be a responsibility of the individual who might at this poi.nlt be described as "the pa:tientt."

capabilitty would not be quest.i oned by any professional person in the health sciences.
