THE NEWPORT COLLEGE -
SALVE REGINA
New Faculty· Add Zeal, Experience by TIM LOGAN
Mrs. Terry R. Dagrosa The Nursing program has been bolstered by the addition of two new faculty members, one of whom is Mrs. Terry Dagrosa. A native of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Dagrosa finds herself in Newport as the result of her husband's recent appointment to the staff of the Naval War College. She is currently teaching Junior Clinical Nursing, and is very high on the clinical experience and the "integrated" nursing methods taught at Salve. Her educational background includes a B.S. from Columbia, and an M.S. from Hampton Institute in Virginia, where she also taught briefly. Mrs. Dagrosa has also taught in a nurses' training or diploma program in Norfolk, and in a two year nursing program at Norfolk State. We welcome Mrs. Dagrosa, and hope that the Salve experience will be a good one for her.
The Music Department has a new chairman, Dr. Thomas C. Day. Dr. Day, a native of Philadelphia, comes to Salve as the result of a love for Newport, and Salve in particular. He hopes to see his department become an integral part of the liberal arts program, as it is one of the most prevalent art forms today. Dr. Day received his A.B. from St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia, then studied at Columbia, where he received both his master's and Ph.D., and also studied at the University of Munich. He has taught at both Columbia and the California Institute of the Arts. He will be offering an Introduction to Music class next semester which will cover from the Middle Ages to, as he puts it, "acid rock," for all you Zepplin and Sabbath fans, as well as a course in classical music. He hopes these courses will foster a new interest in his department, and we wish him all the best.
Dr. Lubomir Gleiman The second addition to the nursing departmen: is Mrs. Kerry Fater. Originally from Manhasset Long Island, Mrs. Fater received her B.S.N. from Villanova and is currently working on her Master's at U .R.I. Having attended Villanova as a member of the Navy Nurses Program, Mrs. Fater served her only tour of duty here in Newport, loved the area, and decided to stay. After working for three years at Newport Hospital's I.C.U., Mrs. Fater was able to take her current position here, and feels very fortunate to have done so. She is very enthusiastic about Salve, the nursing program, the nursing students,
and especially the friendly spirit here. She is a very intelligent, articulate young woman, and the nursing department is very fortunate to have her.
Dr. Thomas C. Day The newest addition to the Philosophy Department is one of the nicest and most learned men this writer has ever hart the privilege to meet. Dr. Lubomir Gleiman, a native of Czechoslovakia, comes to Salve with a philosophy of education that I know will endear him to all his students. He is a great proponent of the smallcollege atmosphere and is very concerned with getting to know intimately this college which he appears to enjoy immensely. His educational ba ckground includes a B.A. from Thomas More Institute, M.S. and Ph.D. from Universite de Montreal, and an Honorary L.H.D. from Newton College. Dr. Gleiman is a thoroughly dedicated teacher, commuting from Franklin, Massachusetts twice a week. He hopes to move to Newport, and we hope he stays at Salve; he has much to give us.
October 1978
Soph Spends Summer In Kentucky Hollows by JOANNE MAZNICKI Not knowing what was ahead of me, I set out the morning of June 2·1, '78 certain of only one thing : it would be an experience I would never forget. The initial m e e t in g of the "Quest" group I would be spending five weeks with, occurred in New York that same day. We then began driving to a part of Kentucky located in the Appalachian Mountains. Along the way, we stopped in Maryland to complete our team of Questers. Our main purpose was to organize a Bible school for the neighboring children. Finally reaching Harlem, Kentucky, we were greeted by Father Killian Mooney, the pastor of the parish we were working for. This s oft-spoken gentle man was loved a nd highly res;:iected by everyone of the town. He, along with each of us, contributed a special quality unique to himself. SincP. we had sufficient Questers to handle the Bible school, I was able t o work in a nearby clinic. The Maternity and Infant Care Program in which I became in-
by LORI MANGIULLI This year at Salve the term "new students" encumpasses not only freshmen, but about half a dozen transfer s t u d e n t s from Mount Saint Mary College and a foreign student from Tanzania. Janine La Rochelle from Middlefield, Connecticut a nd R oger Bisaillon seem to ha ve brought with them some very fine musical talent. Sitting in the smoker on Miley I, I was lured next door into the Alumni Lounge by the music being played 0n the piano by J a nine. Later that night I w a,.s lucky enough to hear Roger's talent. Upon talking to them I found out that Janine also plays guitar. Roger told me he likes to play every day. Both students have been pJ;iying for at least ten years and both express ed a degree of
Mrs. Stephanie Muri
Dr. Arthur Frankel
A new face in a new department 1s Mrs. Stephanie Muri, a consultant to the social work program. Originally from Cranston, R . I., Mrs. Muri attended Emmanuel College and B.C. Graduate School, from which she received her master's, and now resides in Newport. She teaches a course entitled "Special Topics in Social Work; Working With the Retarded," and is very optimistic on both the future of the social work program and the future of Salve. We hope she can play a vital role in both.

Transfers and Tanzanian Diversify Student Body
Mrs. Herry H. Fater A new addition to the Psychology Department is Assistant Professor Dr. Arthur Frankel. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Frankel received both his B.S. and M.A. from State University of New York at New Paltz, and his Ph.D. from Dartmouth. He will be teaching experimental psychology and Introduction to Psychology, as well as social psychology on both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Dr. Frankel is a dynamic young man whom we are sure will make a large contribution to the Salve community.
volved provided me with incredible opportunities. During home-visits, I was able to observe the actual lifestyles of the people. Most people Jive in smali communities situated on the sides of the mountains called "Hallers" or hollows. Generally, the average home was quite basic, having cold running water but seldom hot. The most amazing fact I discovered was that, although these people did not own much, what they had was "mine." Often I found this hard to accept, but eventually I realized that the resulting feeling of pride was worth much more to them than the extra dollar in their pocket. I now know how much harder it is to receive than to give. The clinic had a particular day for well babies, and another for prenata l cases. During these clinics I learned pn,ceuu,es and became familiar with routine processes that keep the clinic operating smoothly. One of the doctors permitted me tu obeserve the deliver.v of one of our patients, which wa s breath-taking.
Miss Judith Gifford
disappointment on the quality of the p1·:1.nos on campus. The bulk of this year's freshmen seem to be very enthusiastic and affable. As in pl'eviuus years, most or the s tudents I talked with would like to see more liberal parietals, and better tasting food. Fortunately, or unfortunately, a major revolt hasn't been staged. With the closing down of Mount Saint Mary College of Hooksett, New Hampshire, in May 1978, we have seven transfer students, all of whom are juniors and seniors and arc living in Seaview. Mount Saint Mary wa s a small, Catholic, all-girl school with a total enrollment of 180 students, according to Debbie Gioiele, a senior transfer student from C,mnecticut. After listening to Debbie talk about rules at Mount Saint Mary, Salve seems quite liberal. John Nanyaro comes to us from a small town in Tanzania called Arusha. As a sophomore, John is majoring in Management. From talking to John I can see he is a very friendly guy with quite a sense of humor. A familiar face, but a new addition to the faculty, is Miss Judy Gifford. Since graduating from Salve in 1970, Miss Giffqrd has worked in the library, and just this year has made the jump from "staff" to "faculty." Her main task at the library is the periodical section, where she is doing a thorough house cleaning and reorganization. Her task is a huge one, but so too is her energy, and we wish Miss Gifford good luck in her new position.
