Fall Heightened By Festivities Salve Opens Doors by KAREN J. PERRY Faces were filled with anticipation as prospective students, parents and tourists arrived for Salye's annual Open House on Sunday, October 15th. As I observed the incoming students, filled with questions and excitement (and up to their necks in information booklets), my mind raced back to when I was in their shoes. Could it possibly have been four years ago? How time flies! After registering at O c h r e Court, the newcomers and their families gathered in the State Dining Room to await their turn taking a guided tour of the campus. While waiting, the college guests read leaflets about Ochre Court and often sighs of Ooo ! and Ahh ! filled the air as they viewed

the expert craftsmanship exhibited in the stately mansion. In O'Hare Academic Center, Mercy Hall and Angelus Hall, faculty from each department were present to discuss specific areas of study with the incoming students. This gave the new stu'.. dents the opportunity to meet members of different departments and help them to decide (at least for the time being!) what field of study they would like to pursue. A slide presentation, giving an overview of the campus, was shown for two sessions in the T.B. Room in O'Hare. These presentations attracted new and old students alike and was quite enjoyable. For those interested in financial aid, two· sessions were held in the

T.B. Room. These sessions proved to be quite informative for all present. For the thirsty tour guides and visitors, the Boathouse was open, accommodating the refreshment needs of all. This gave everyone the chance to mingle, meet new friends and become more at ease with the surroundings. It was a pleasant day for the visitor;;, tourists, college personnel, students, and faculty alike. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet new people, talk about my department and studies, and brag about my college with its fine programs and breath-taking campus. All in all, it was an enriching day for everyone who participated. I only wish I were going to be here next year too.

Town Hall Trio Delights Community by DIANE LOWE The Town Hall Trio, sponsored by the Fine Arts Club, presented a concert of Beethoven, Grieg, Granados, Popper and Arensky on Tuesday, October 24, at 8 p.m. in Ochre Court.

Approximately one hundred enthusiastic students, faculty and other members of the Newport community attended the concert. Following the conclusion, there was a wine and cheese reception enabling the audience to meet and

speak with the performers. The chamber group is composed of Barb a r a Barstow, Shirley Adams and C a t h e r in e Carver Burton playing the violin, cello and piano respectively. Barbara Barstow is concert master of the Rhode Island Symphony and Shirley is first cellist. Catherine Carver Burton graduated from Julliard and has been on the staff here. Reaction to the group was extremely favorable. All were impressed with the sensitivity and skill with which the artists performed. Remarked one student, "It was a delightful experience to sit in the natural setting of Ochre Court and listen to such soothing and excellently performed music." Judy Fogg, a senior majoring in English, is chairperson of the Fine Arts Club. Having studied classical music for the past thirteen years, she has belonged to

Parents Charmed by College Welcome by JOANNE MAZNICKI This past weekend, Salve Regina held its 17th annual Parents' Weekend, during which students and their parents joined together to enjoy each other's company. The weekend got off to a start as the parents and students gathered in Ochre Court for a Coffee Hour. Immediately following was the Parents' Council Meeting. At the request of the Students, the parents were able to meet the faculty in the relaxed atmosphere of the Buffet Luncheon. The Luncheon was served in the Dining Room of Miley Hall. The afternoon was a free time for the parents and students to do as they wished. For the majority it involved exploring the campus and sight-seeing in Scenic Newport. Many found this to be a good opportunity for roommates' parents to become acquainted.

The parents finally had the chance to meet the people so often mentioned. Saturday evening began with a cocktail hour and a lovely dinner prepared at the Sheraton Islander Inn. For many students it was the first time they had cocktails with their parents. Following dinner, a dance was held in the Great Hall of Ochre Court. Music was provided by the Pat Zompa Orchestra. Contributing much to the weekend, a special mass was celebrated in the O'Hare Academic Center. Parents' weekend came to a close on Sunday with brunch at the dining room of Miley Hall. All that participated found the weekend very rewarding as the parents' and students' worlds grew that much closer. "I've just realized how much I owe my parents," concluded a Miley resident.

A Farewell . . . . by TIM LOGAN As I am sure you are all well aware, Mr. James Cunningham recently resigned his position as D i r e c t o r of Maintenance. Although we are deeply saddened by Mr. Cunningham's sudden departure, I find that the most appropriate feeling at this time to be one of thankfulness. Mr. Cunningham e m b o d i e d the smallschool spirit of warmth, friendli-

ness, and the personal touch in everything that he did. His dedication to the service of others endeared him to everyone he came in touch with, and there is no one whom Mr. Cunningham did not in some way help. We will certainly miss him here at Salve, and wish him all the best at his new position at Providence College. Our deepest thanks, Mr. C., as we concur with the Boathouse staff:

Mr. Cunningham

"HERE'S TO THOSE WHO WISH US WELL •.•" With loving appreciation, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your years of dedication to the students at Salve Regina College. In honor of your unselfish loyalty, we are naming our Bar, "The Cunningham Bar," with the sincere hope that the spirit and friendship that you have shown here will always be a living reality in our community. Thanks for everything. You will always be "Dad" to us.

Prof. Delaney Leads Terrorism Seminar by BARBARA KlVLEHAN On October 13 and 14, 1978, Salve Regina, The Newport College, hosted a seminar entitled "Terrorism and National Security, The Challenge and its Management." This timely program drew a diversity of speakers whose theme was terrorism. Friday's speakers included .f'rof. Robert Delaney, "An Overview of World Terrorism Today;" Col. Joseph Barry, Operational Systems, Inc., "Physical Response to Terrorism;" and Prof. Lyman Kirkpatrick, Brown University, "The Terrorist Threat to Society." On Saturday, the speakers and their topics were Thomas F. Ruane, Jr., Corporate Security Worldwide, "Crisis Management and Terror;" and Richard J. Gallagher, Federal Bureau of Investigation (Retired), "What Can Be Done to Contain Terrorism?" I was able to attend two of the lectures in this seminar and found

taem to be vary informative and interesting. Prof. Delaney pointed out the three main classes of terrorists while making the audience aware that terror exists and can strike at any time. The lecture presented by Col. Barry dealt with the various ways and methods used to combat terrorism in corporations, homes, and prisons. Prof. Delaney, an instructor in the graduate department here, was the coordinator of this terrorism seminar. In an interview Prof. Delaney mentioned that the main purpose of this seminar was "to make people aware of the possibility of terrori:;m coming in an organized way to the United States." When asked if this purpose was achieved, hti commented, "Yes, I think so, for two reasons: (1) the enormcms publicity that this seminar received (2) the number of inquiries about information on training people." Dr. Delaney mentioned that this sem-

inar was covered by the National Associated Press all over the country and by local t.v. Channels 7, 6, 10, and 12. Prof. Delaney commented on the seminar by saying, "Salve is to be complimented for hosting these conferences. The College leads campuses of America in studying terrorism from the viewpoint of academic insights." In passing, Prof. Delaney commented that Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, had contacted him and wanted to know what went into holdings of conference to set up a seminar there. Also, a number of people from different corporations liked the way people responded to the seminar and appreciated their effort. In conclusion, I feel that this seminal' was a success. Those of us who were present hope that a similar one will be held at Salve again in the future.
