'This Little Isle, This England ( by Martha Wolf During the interim, nineteen members of the college community explored England, Ireland and Wales, paying special attention to the Celtic heritage of the countries. The last of a two-part series, this article focuses on the group's experiences in England. Although Ireland could not be left behind without a twinge or two of remorse, those members of the tour that had never been to England were anxious to compare it with what they had imagined the intriguing isle to be. After arrival at Liverpool, the group bussed it to Chester, a medieval walled city with countless ancient half-timber houses. The very old seemed perfectly integrated with the very new here. One was torn !between seeing the city from •a top the wall surrounding it, inspecti.qg the Roman ruins, or the modern shopping malls. Many participated in the "Chester-At-Home" program, enjoying tea and talk at the home of an English family for an evening. From Chester, the group took a trip to Wales for a day, where the lush, rolling hills left lasting impressions. En route to London over jolting country roads, a stop was made at Coventry to view the immense cathedral, with its towering panels of stained glass. Another was made at Stratford to get the flavor of Shakespeare's environment, invade the shops of the decidedly elite, and listen to the myriad songs of birds. London itself was nothing short of extraordinary, and the week spent there might as well have been only a moment. The group was dizzy with decisions about how each precious day might best be utilized, and each pursued her own interests. The British Museum, just down the street from the hotel, was the first stop for many of the visitors, but all were equally lured by Oxford Street shopping, the art galleries, and the countless other places of interest. At night, tickets were obtained for everything from a peformance of Handel's "Messiah" to one of Agatha Christie's "Mousetrap". The tourists spent two days outside of ·L ondon, and one exploring the mysterious monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury. Even in the drear winter weather, the powerful rocks drew throngs. A day was also devoted to seeing the city of Cambridge and its colleges. The group was given a tour of the city by an exceptional guide, wo never missed a date in spite of bitter cold and rain.

Sister Lucille Receives Irish Cu Chulainn Award Sister Lucille, ~amed Woman of the Year 'by the Harp and Shamrock Clubs of Chicago, received its Cu Chulainn award as an outstanding person whose courage ·a nd integrity have benefied Ireland and furthered its culture. "We have known her efforts to move Chicagoans to an awareness of the truth in the Northern Ireland situation, her promotion of Irish culture and tradition in her organization of classes in Irish history, music, and dance at St. Xavier College in Chicago, and through the Irish Fortnight in Rhode !~land," Rev. Kevin Shanley said in presenting the award. Sister was cited also for her
"unique charisma in positions of leadership as a catalyst in developing the talents and leadership •a bilities of other." In response, Sister stated in part, "Since Cu Chulainn was an Ulster hero, I feel singularly honored since I am one of the few people here who can claim to be an Ulster person." An Irish legend is the source of the name of the award, Cu Chulainn, the Hound of the North, was an Ulster hero whose legend dated from Rruid times. He was the embodiment of all the ideals of his race, preferring death to dishonor. It was the f irst time this award was given to a woman.

Next Year's Officers Chosen
New Election Highlights Student Congress Activities by Christine Zaremskl Student Congress, aiming to better represent and better serve the college community, has been actively involved in several projects, including the recent election of officers and the upcoming variety show. Because there were difficulties in the management of ·a n earlier election, Student Congress decided to hold another election on March 17. The results of this second election are as follows: President, Jeanne Beaugard '76; Vice-President, Beth Broderick '77; Secretary, Marianne Murray '78; Treasurer, Joan "Campbell" Sprague '76; Speakers' Committee Chairperson, Linda Cole '78; Social Committee Chairperson, Kafuy Brady '77; and Student Affairs Chairperson, Lisa Fish '78. These students will tbe working and sharing ideas with present members of Student Congress for the rest of the semester. Through this exchange of ideas, the newly-elected officers wiH gain useful insights into the structure ·a nd functions of student government. Another way in which Student .COngress is looking toward the
future of the college is through its student survey-questionnaire. The purpose of this self-study project is to focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the college so that greater attention can be directed toward those areas where changes are needed. As soon as all the questionnaires are handed in, 'Student Congress wiH begin compiling statistics, an enormous task which will not 'be completed until next year. Student Congress has
dedicated much time to this broad self-study and welcomes all students to help in the collection of results. Student Congress is ·a lso presenting a Variety Shaw on April 12, at 7:30p.m., in the Twombly Burden Room. Publicized as "The Greatest Show on Campus", this evening of fun ·a nd entertainment will feature the talents of students and faculty members, judges, and prizes. The co-chairpersons are Joan "Oampbell"
Sprague and Beth Broderick. This year Student Congress has ·a lso 'taken an active role in nominations for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Together with Jean Meadows and the Student Affairs Committee, the Student Congress is now in the process of compiling forms for faculty evaluations. Due to the numerous changes taking place on campus, members of Student Congress are
also rev1smg the constitution to better serve the need of the entire student body. Finally, Student Congress encourages all students to support the newly-remodeled Boathouse. Through the combined efforts of the Congress, members of tile Sophomore class, and other interested students, the Boathouse has once again come to life on campus, but it does need the backing of the entire student 'Qody.

EBB TIDE
by Anne Quigley In the past existence of Salve, t he Student Congr ess has served a vital role in the government of the students. It has been the governing force behind the students' actions. Congress has fough t for student rights and gained autonomy for campus residents. However, in recent months, the conception of Studen t Congr ess as a strong and viable force has become clouded and somewhat obscured. To carry this idea one step further, it appears as if Congress h as not only reached an impasse but has r egressed in the achievem ent of its goals. Nothing can express this better than the r ecen t fiasco with the Student Congress elections . First of all n ot enough candidates could be found to r un in the election. When the sufficient numbers of petitions were received, the resulting election was declared invalid because not enough people vot ed. Not enough people on this campus could make the effort to vote for their own governing body. What does this say about the student body of Salve Regina? What does it say about the effectiveness of t he Student Congress? Although this is just one example, it illustr ates that something is drastically wrong on this campus. At this time, Student Congress has published ·a self study of the college, the purpose of which is "to fi nd out whether our college is meeting the needs of all its studen ts." With this questionnaire, Congress has taken a look at the structure, make up and ideas of the major areas of the college. This self study is very important to the school since it may establish weak areas in the college. It is also impor tant as a means of. gauging how effective Congress actually is. But, like S tudent Congress, it needs studen t input, for the students will provide the answers for both the college and Congress. Will this self s tudy have the same discouraging r esults as the first Student Congress elections?
Book Review
On Death and Dying by Martha Wolf The current inter est in death and dying as evidenced by recent classes and lectures on campus brings to light an inter est in the work of Elisa•b eth Kubler-Ross. The author of sever al books on the subject, she is the Medical Director of the F amily Service and Mental Health Center of South Cook County, Illinois. Her book , On Death and Dying, focuses on wh at insights int o death the terminally ill can give doctors, nurses, clergy, and their own families. Citing many examples f rom her own work, Dr. Ross claims that patients exper ience deat h in many st ages. The fir st s tage she consider s to be denial and isolation. She states th at most terminally ill patients make an initial denial of their fates, and refuse to believe the t ru th. She sees this as a healthy r eaction, functioning as a "buffer after unexpected shocking news" . When denial can no longer be maintained, Dr. Ross feels that patients experience anoth er phase of death, one of anger. She claims that the terminally ill take this anger out on everyone around them, but that this is understandable since they ar e no longer f unctioning on any level in a bustling world. Other stages discussed by Dr. Ross are the bargaining that the dying patient does with God, t he depression he experiences, and finally, his acceptance of his fa te. She s tates that those who sit with the dying experience a "silence that goes beyond words", but when death comes, it will seem "neither f r ightening nor painful".
YES Weekends At Conley Hall These words are 'b eing written on a very pleasant day in March when some promising !hints of Spring are visible. And that seems so appropriate to me as I reflect upon the YES Weekend in Christian Community which was r ecently held at Conley Hall. It was an uplifting experience for me - a sort of "second spring" - because it assured me that young college people are genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about the things which mean most to me. The YES Weekend serves as a pause in the busy schedule to take a fresh and refreshing look at the most basic message of the Gospel and then experience it first hand. It was, I 'believe, a joyful experience •f or all who shared it. It's not the only way to get a taste of Christianity, but it can be a very pleasant one for many people. Here's how it works. The participants •a re presented with a basic vision of the Church as it is found in the Acts of the Apostles - " a community of persons, moved ·b y the good of the risen Christ, to celebrate life and share themselves in friendship and love." They are encouraged to dismiss and disregard any notions of the Church which are at odds with that vision. From that point on, they share discussions, meals, Liturgy and recreation in an attempt to recreate the authentic kind of community they have heard described. Inevitably, the time spent together produces a lot of laughter as well as serious reflection ·a nd insight. Similar programs conducted at high school level tend to produce highly emotional responses in some people but •t hat does not prove to •b e the case on a YES Weekend. If we may judge from the comments of the first group of Salve students, it is both a pleasant and enriching experience which en~bles one to have a more joyful outlook.
The Tavern: Tradition and Legend by Paul Preult In June of 1959 Michael Hat tub opened a bar, rustic, typically Newport in archi tecture. He called it The Tavern. In those sixteen years, The Tavern has become a t radition and a legend in its own time. The building itself was •b uilt in 1879, and if you look closely enough, you can s ee the cornerstone and the da te inscribed thereon . Additions, deletions, extensions and facelifting have not been a par t of The Tavern's structure. The rustic charm and appeal have been let alone much t o the happiness of the "Tavern Regulars." Then what brings the multitudes of people to The Tavern? Entertainment? No, not really. I mean if you think a jukebox is entertainment, then your mind is sicker tha n mine. Beauty? Coziness? Well, one look and you can answer that question yourself . I'll tell you what, I'll give you
my impression of The Tavern, or The "T" as it is affectionately known. If you like what I write, t hen fine, if not, then go to The Tavern and formulate your own opinions. I've been going "to the hill" for about five years now. My first impr ession still holds true: I couldn't understand. I mean, you walk in the front door and you can almost hear the yelling and screaming of people enjoying themselves as they did years ago. You can r eally picture the girls of the early sixties. Which all leads m e to say, "Why were these people here?" Who knows? Who cares? What really matters is that generations of people have been coming to the "T" and enjoying t hemselves. The drinks are inexpensive and good. The talk is inexpensive and good. Sometimes you get a lot mor e "bull" then you bargained for, but then again if you're a cow you should expect a little bull now and then. The Tavern, for years, has been
known as a cop hangout. Oh, sure, there are quite a few cops that hang out there, including myself; but it's far from being labelled a cop bar. On successive Friday and Sa turday nights I took an official Paul Preuit census. I found nine cops, thirtyseven Salve students, and one hundred and twenty-four other people. Broken down into male/ female ratios it worked out to 95 males and 75 females. Not bad odds no matter which side of t he fence you play. I can only give you my opinion of The Tavern. I love it, and of course my opinion is slanted and biased. But what of it? ·F ive years of going to the same bar four to five times a week, I am not tired of it yet. The happy faces, smiling and laughing, make it all worthwhile. Whether you're a guy looking for a girl, or a girl looking for !1 guy, you'll find it at t he "T''. From all walks of life they come to congregate, to drink, and to be merry.
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: A problem of increasing distress to community students and faculty of Salve is the appallingly inadequate parking ·f acilities around O'Hare Academic Center and Mercy Hall. In the four years we have spent at Salve, the college has grown and developed in its student population. While we are very excited about · the number of high school seniors and those in the community who have chosen to attend Salve to further their academic careers, the amount of campus parking is completely unsuitable to the number of community and commuter students who somehow seem to have classes scheduled all at the same time. A most obvious solution would be to utilize, if possible, tlhe parking lot used for the tourists of the Breakers, located on the corner of Ochre Point and Shephard A venues. Most of the school year would coincide with the offseason of the mansion's tour season. More extreme measures could be taken by clearing and using an area within the gates of the Wakehurst estate for new parking space. This solution may be aesthetically repelling, but parking is a necessity for a growing institution. Meanwhile, until tlhe · muchneeded plan is formulated, everyone involved with Salve could help relieve the problem by trying car-pooling or using •bicycles when possible. Also i•t is usually most unnecessary and unfair rfor students living on campus or visiting Miley to then drive over to O'Hare or Mercy, instead of leaving the car and walking the few blocks. So as Salve continues to grow in all respects, so must the parking head-aches be relieved hopefully by expansion. -Nancy Devine
• • • Dear Editor: As a graduate of Salve Regina College, I feel I should tell the student body, especially the sci. ence majors, of the superb education they are receiving at the school. While at Salve, I majored in Biology, and minored in Chemistry and Secondary Education.

So strange these times So afraid people ar e to touch each other's lives. With Love or even Hate So afraid to get close to someone "Mustn't risk getting hurt'' "Can' t get hung up" - I hear them mutter and I wonder whyCan't they see better to be hurt than emptyY Better to risk thwn coastY Than COQ)!Jt through anesthetized days and sleepless nights Better drunk and rowdy and passi onate and screaming than sober and patient and qU!iet - and dead withinAnd dead within means they deny inner desires And once dead within than dead without And all that can move them now is am earthquake - perhaps. -Kathy Perleoni

Salve has greatly prepared me for my work with ·a ll •t he biology courses I took there. •I have met people from many other schools, and I feel that the education and general knowledge I · have is equal to, if not better, than anyone else's - no matter what school he or she attended.
When you are gone in Without a word Without a glance Without a smile At first I am hurt I try desperately to reach you But you are elusive Beyond my grasp Then I am hurt like never before I try to forget you I try so halrd to hate you But neither can I do Instead I worry about you Friends tell me you felt you were getting too close So you broke loose Back to safety I try to understand I ' m no longer depressed I'll survive But deep inside I know I could never take a scene like this - agajn.

lung's Archetypes Subject of Talk By World-Renowned Mythologist by Anthony Kutsaftis An audience of about 350 people was whisked back to our origins last night when worldrenowned mythologist Joseph Campbell spoke of man •a nd his mind in the T. B. room. Campbell, author of many famous •b ooks on man and symbolism, was greeted by Sister Lucille McKillop and Dr. James Hersh. ''He's one of my two great heroes, the Ted Klisuzski of the mind," quipped Dr. Hersh to the overflowing crowd of the 72year-old Campbell who didn't look a day over 50. The lecture, spiced by his peppery band of humor, was an explanation of the development of man and his psyche. "We are born as animals. Then at a point in time we become aware of the awe of mystery and are transferred into Spiritual beings." Campbell transfixed his audience and had them squeezing every word for some profound knowledge of the keys to a good life. "We must wash our eyes with darkness so we can see the light," he mused. He spoke of tlreams and some of their symbols. He stressed that people fear what they dream without realizing that dreams are the products of our own subconscious. "Dreaming is the beginning of true vision. All the gods, demons, heavens, and hells are within yourselves." He then delved deeper into the psyche and discussed the anima and animus. These, he explained, are our ideal person of the opposite sex within us. We project this image on certain people we meet. In actuality, we
are not falling in with the person but with ourselves. A second stage comes when you realize this person is not your perfect self but an individual with frailities and imperfections. This is the difficult stage with many problems but if both parties work to overcome these problems they find true love or individuation. We are born into a world of female domination and our first identity is with our mother. Campbell said for quite a while "Daddy is mother's hairy helper." A woman has a much broader view of animus then a man because of this early dependency on the female. All the while Campbell spoke, an excellent slide show giving pictorial images to his words was going on. Many beautiful and unusual paintings and drawings helped clarify difficult points. Although the lecture ran long, close to two hours, this only scratched the surface. Their apparently were many gaps in our knowledge and until we hear the second half of the lecture our friends will have to struggle with their own dreams, identities, and souls. Much knowledge and a great man were on display and I'm sure each in his own way drew some bit of knowledge which will help his future. Campbell closed by discussing the problem of death. He stated that death is a troubling problem which causes us all consternation. But "when you have assimulated and accepted death, you form a totally new psychology, a psychology towards a happy sunset in our lives."
Dr. Daniel Maguire, Author of 'Death By Choice' Lectures, Reflects on Different Aspects of Euthanasia Question by Martha Wolf Dr. Daniel Maguire, professor of theology at Marquette University in Milwaukee ·a nd author of the popular book, "Death By Choice", recently gave a stimulating Iecture here on the topic of euthanasia. Defining euth-anasia ·a s merciful death, he remarked that, "There are times when ending life is the 'best that life offers." He cited Gallup Poll figures which indicate that a growing number of Catholics believe mercy death to lbe a viable ethical option. Dr. Maguire raised the point that life expectancies will undoubtedly rise if the two principal killers, heart disease and cancer, can be 'brought under control. This would mean that a person might live to lbe from 150 to 200 years old. He also stated that death is not a moment, but a process, and ·t hat sometimes
this process can be agonizing for all involved. He commented that, "gradually the decision of death is being taken away f rom the organism and tilted towards the will." With regard to euthanasia from a -legal standpoint, Dr. Maguire claimed that law courts now have no concrete way of handling a mercy death. In some instances, those responsible for a mercy death have •b een prosecuted for murder, but in most cases, the charges are dismissed. "Good law", he added, "makes distinctions". Discussing the ethics involved in euthanasia, Dr. Maguire quoted Thomas Aquinas, "Human actions are good or bad . according to their circumstances." He then r~erred to mercy death as a taboo, something that has always been considered immoral. "Morality consists not only of rules but of exceptions", he re-
marked. "We must 'be able to recognize :both." Dr. Maguire referred to the number one objection to euthanasia as the domino theory, which argues that if one exception is allowed, something resembling Nazi Germany will result. In his opinion it is highly unlikely that this wou-ld happen, and he cannot foresee the state having the say in death. He believes that euthanasia should be a highly personal decision, regulated by law. "Because something can be abused," he explained, "doesn't mean it can't he intelligently used." "There is always a tendency to put down new human freedoms ·b ecause of -all the problems ·a ttached to them", Dr. Maguire remraked. Although it is "dangerous when practice runs ahead of reflection", he feels that we should not revert to taboo. The lecture drew a large audience.

Interns Observe Senate Activities Five students from Salve were selected to participate in a weekIon g internship program in Washington, D. C. Interning with Senator Clairborne Fell was Nina Donohue, Faith Zabriskie, and Pam Sinyei, while Kathy Gagne and K-ate Kochiss were with Representative Edward Beard. Arriving Sunday, March 9, the students determined their own schedules for attending those sessions of most interest to each individual. High point of the trip was being able to see and hear Judge Sirica, in person. The interns enjoyed such items on the Congressional agenda as Senate hearings on the Election Commission, the ·ballotting for the second New Hampshire senator and the Defense Committee's budget allocations for Cambodia. Amidst these scheduled activities, time was also available for s o m e informal sight-seeing around the city.

Reader's Theater Updates Present and Future Plans Header's Theater is alive and well and rehearsing in the Twombley-Burden Room. It has come a long way since its inception 2 years ago; Kaleidoscope, the first miniperformance of Reader's Theater, had a cast of 6 and an audience of 30. Their most recent performance "An Evening With Dylan Thomas" and "Under Milkwood" was a major 2-hour production with a cast of 12 and an audience of about 175 persons. "Charlie's Aunt" and "Charlotte's Web" are the 2 major productions to be presented this semester. Assistant Advisor Paul Preuit is directing "Charlie's Aunt" which is scheduled for performance here May 2 and 3. Cast members are Margaret Allen, Drew Anderson, Debbie Chandler, Roger Hughey, Denise Kobialka, Tony Kutsaftis, Pam Sinyei, and Andy Spaulding. "Charlotte's Web" will 'b e presented in late April or early May for children on Aquidneck Island. Directed by Bob Kulo, the cast includes Adelle Aldord, Margaret Allen, Debbie Chandler, Roger Hughey, Denise Kobialka, Pam Sinyei, Andy Spaulding, and Bob Watterson. "Jonathan Livin~ston Seagull" is also being prepared for presentation in area elementary schools. This summer Mr. Kulo will be conducting three Reader's Theater workshops, with credit available on undergraduate and graduate levels. Brochures are available at the summer session office. Plans for next year are taking on an added dimension. Students who have participated in Reader's Theater performances will
have the opportunity to cut scripts, choose and direct their own casts, and present their own productions at a special "Thursday at 12:00" series. The casts will rehearse during the fall semester durin~ the "free time" period.
Air Waves Bring New Awareness Taking shape on Salve's campus this semester is a communications venture, using campus audio-visual equipment. An idea originated by senior psychology major, Liz Mack, the new media-mode is intended to help close campus communications gaps. Programming planned for the 2 pilot shows includes first, an interview of about 5 minutes duration. Secondly will be a news and activities, allotted an estimated length of 3 to 5 minutes. The project will concern subjects only of campus scope. Air-time for the premier show will hopefully be during a week in April. Broadcasting dates are dependent on the availability of the audio-visual equipment on campus, currently undergoing inventory. Location of the studio for the filming will be in the TwombleyBurden room of O'Hare. The actual T.V. viewing will be in the lobby of O'Hare, easily accessible to most of the college community. Moderating the air-waves will be Bob Kulo with the supportive efforts of Dean Megley, Glenn Giuttari, Sister Marianne, John O'Neil, Joan David, and various students.
MARCUCCI'S SUBMARINE SANDWICH SHOPS
Mr. Cunningham, Friend by Meg Bowler Nearing the end of a 3-year stint of w r i t i n g this sports column, I felt I owned it to myself to speak my opinion on a certain issue. At the end of last year and beginning this September, many changes have evolved. The men's basketball team was organized; swimming, volleyball, and tennis facilities are available. Things are really coming into their own. PROGRESS. Now, I am not against change and progress. These things are necessary and vital. Salve's athletic program had and needs to have a face lift. We're co-ed and must look to the future, as all colleges must today. The main character is Mr. James Cunningham, "relieved" coach of the girls' team. But as it is stated, bitterness of my own behalf must be overcome. All I wish to say is that change must o c c u r, progress must ensue. Let us hope that people's feelings are never again overlooked when change is precipitated. However, to my story line. Most revolve around the main character, the most important element. Mine will be no different.
As a member of the girls' basketball team for 3lh years, I had the distinct privilege of being coached by Mr. Cunningham (affectionately known as "Dad"). He gave of his time voluntarily. He worked with us, he never and we never professed to be great, due to an absence of facilities. He built into the team a bond, a mutual love and affection, s o m e t h i n g so special that I feel it can never be duplicated. He supported us through countless car washes, defeats, and victories. He was one of us and we respected him. We were his girls and he was our coach, our "father", and most of all, our friend; a tough combination to top. Granted we are expanding and need semi-professionals in our midst for the athletic ' program, but it amazes me how one man who gave so much to a team and to individuals could be replaced. For those of us who were lucky e n o u g h to have been coached by Mr. Cunningham, the above is only a fraction of what we feel for this man. For those who did not have the opportunity to ex peri en c e this bond, may I only say, it is a team loss.
Herci And Myles Marsden Will Perform At Liturgy Those who attend the 5 o'clock Mass here on Apri119 will experience a new departure in liturgy. Herci and Myles Marsden, 'ballet instructors on campus, will perform a liturgical dance at the entrance and meditation ·a fter communion. Both actively involved in the State Ballet of Rihode Island, the couple is devoted to teaching as well as to dancing. They instruct a class here on Wednesday mornings at Mercy Hall, and on Saturday, they hold children's classes. Mr. Marsden was the first American graduate of the International Ballet School in Split, Yugoslavia. He rose to 'b ecome the premier danseur of the Yugoslav National Ballet, and there he met and married Herci Muni-
tich, a soloist with the company. The couple returned to America, determined to instruct students in the classical Russian ballet and to develop professional dancers. They founded the Brae Crest School of Ballet Education in 1958, and it adjoins their home in Lincoln. A second studio was opened in Newport in 1972. The Marsdens lead busy lives. They've conducted classes at URI since 1967, and Myles Marsden was appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, URI Extension Division. He teaches courses in dance therapy, non-verbal communication, and the theory and history of classical Russian 'ballet. The couple still finds time for performances both alone and with the State Ballet.
