Future of Church Seen In Third World by SUSANNE HOFFMAN Members of the college community and guests attended a lecture on Wednesday, February 14 at O'Hare Academic Center given by Reverend Peter J. Henriot, entitled, "Latin America challenge to North America in Politics and Religion." This was another part of the continuing 78-79 Symposium Lectures on Peace and Justice. Father Henriot's purpose in addressing the community was to enrich our awareness concerning the elements and aspects of the Church in Latin America and their implications and challenges to the United States. Before he
Father Henriot
began his lecture, Father Henriot asked his audience to consider the question, "What kind of Church would you like to be living in in the next ten years'?" This question is significant because the church is a major part of the world. Reverend Peter J. Henriot was ordained a Jesuit Priest in 1970. Father Henriot is a political scientist, a member of the Center for Concern in Washington, D.C. since its founding in 1971, and its recently appointed director. He was also an active member of the Bicentennial Program, "Liberty and Justice For All." For three months in 1972, and nine months between 1976 and 1977, Father Henriot lived in Latin America. During the last nine months he spent, Father Henriot lived in a hillside barrio of about 50,000 people located in Medellin, Colombia. He experienced on the first hand level the severe problems faced by these people such as food scarcity, unemployment, and over-population. In Father Henriot's words, he had the opportunity "to put names and faces on facts and statistics." The main theme of Father Henriot's lecture was to stress the
Seniors Present Research Topics by SUE O'CONNOR Is Nazism on the rise in the United States today? How did rock and roll really begin? Was Senator Joseph McCarthy a pontical opportunist? The answer to these and other timely questions will be heard on March 31, 1979, as the seniors in the History and Politics Department make their annual research presentations. The presentations summarize a semester of guided research on a topic of the student's choice. This year the diversity of topics reflects the varied research interests of the department members. It also insures that there will be something for everyone. The Shakers, a religious sect, will be Maureen McCann's topic. Maureen will argue that the Shaker way of life was a reaction to the evils that they perceived iri society. Maureen holds the distinction of being the College's first American Studies major. Susan O'Connor will compare the Nazi ideologies of Hitler and the American Nazi Party. Hitler, of course, rose from an obscure Austrian border town to absolute mastery over Germany and the better part of Europe. He determined the fate of a people and influenced the course of world history. The American Nazi Party is alive and well in the United States today. Will the American Nazis {who are anti-black and anti-semitic) determine the fate of the blacks and Jews in the United States? Will America's neo-Nazis successfully take up the political and moral legacy that Hitler left behind ? Are they correct in claim-
ing that cultural diversity in the United States is leading to the decline of the great White race? The answers should prove to be both frightening and intriguing. Donald Currier's presentation will not be frightening but will be very unique. Don will present the history of rock and roll. Those of us who know Don are looking forward to an entertaining presentation. Continued on Page 4
point that the majority of Catholics today are living in the Third World. This means that the fate of the Church is being decided in the context of the Third World, and we must, therefore, focus more of our attention on the changes taking place in these countries, and their implications. Latin America is most significant because the majority of all Catholics are living there. Consequently, Father Henriot spent most of his speech outlining thirteen of the most significant changes in the Church in Latin America, as well as their implications and challenges to the Church in the United States. Included in the thirteen points stressed by Father Henriot were: The Commitment of the Church to Justice; The Appreciation of the Second Vatican Council; The Role of the Laity; The Role of Women; and, perhaps his most startling point, The Price to Pay for this Development. Eight hundred and fifty laity and religious have been murdered, imprisoned, tortured, or exiled. Father Henriot pointed out that this has been "the price to pay for a church pastorally related to the people." Father Henriot's lecture is valuable to our c::;mmunity because it points out that the Catholic Church in the United States is a part of a world Church.

by SUE COSTA Last Saturday, March 3rd, six Salve students left Newport. Their destination was Washington, D.C. The students, Dina Gonsalves, Steve Malley, Jim McNamara, Lew Bower, Katie Hannon, and
cruitment of personnel for state government; and 3) to enable students to develop a knowledge of the structure and procedure of state government. Wanda Frazier has also been selected as an intern in the Attorney General's Office, besides her state internship. Wanda is the very first recipient of this new internship program. The College community is honored to have these three fine students at our campus and offers sincere congratulations to them.
Laurie Schremser
by ALASTAIR BROWNE During the interim here at Salve, twelve students, under the direction of Dr. James Hersh, visited the land of St. Patrick. The land is, of course, Ireland. Guided by Dr. Hersh, this group of students went to study Irish folklore and mythology. Some of the group, being of Irish descent, learned more about their heritage, and a few even went so far as to visit their relatives. Although there were no formal classes, lectures were given, while ample free time allowed students to take a good look at the country for themselves. Ireland is a scenic country with many old traditions. There are towering mountains carpeted with grass, topped by round, filed-down peaks that rise up, like an island in the sky surrounded by clouds.

This award allows the interns to attend seminars and legislative sessions, as well as give them the opportunity to work in various legal offices. The State Internship Program has three main objectives: 1) to provide a link between the public and state government; 2) to open a channel for the potential re-
Adventures
Sue Hoffman
Kevin Logue are spending this week in the nation's capital on an internship program. The object of this internship is to observe the atmosphere of government proceedings and law making. In order to get the clearest and most realistic picture of exactly what goes on in Washington to keep the wheels of the Republic turning, each of the Salve students has been working in the office of a Rhode Island representative. Dina Gonsalves and Lew Bower have been sharing the office of Junior Senator John Chafee, while Steve Malley and Kevin Logue have been working in Senior Senator Claiborne Pell's office. Katie Hannon and Jim McNamara have spent the week keeping Congressman Edward Beard's office in order. They are busy running errands, delivering messages to high offices, and covering the other odds and ends in the offices that keeps them running smoothly. Despite the 9 to 5 work hours, the students have had their freedom to explore the city and enjoy their spare time. The Smithsonian has been a favorite hangout during the week. Although the students are, for the most part, paying for the experience themselves, they have Continued on Page 4
There are pubs, in which people do Irish dances, and bring in trad it i on a I instruments such as fiddles, wooden flutes, banjos and time whistles to play traditional Irish music. Broken down castles, picturesque horses and buggies, and warm-hearted people are all part of this enchanting isle. During the trip, the students visited four major cities: Tralee; Galway, Sligo, and Dublin. In Tralee, Dr. Hersh and the students had one of the best evenings of their trip. The National Folk Theater of Ireland, known as the "Siamsa Tire, " performed for them. This folk group has entertained everywhere from the Royal Albert Hall, in London, to America, with cheering crowds and sold out performances. When the Salve students saw them, they were in a small thatched-roof cottage. At one point, students listened to a well known novelist, Brya n Ma cMahon, who, for th1¡ee hours, told stories of Irish Tradition and folklore. In Tralee, Salve students also saw Irish dancers and heard their music. At Galway they encountered Professor Padraik Henry, who lectured on Old English. They also talked about The Tain, pronounced "taun," a book that the students read concerning Irish folklore. Visiting the Isla nds of Aran, located off the west <.;oast, the students met the most Irish of the Irish, those who speak mainly Gaelic, the Irish language. Before they left for Sligo, the travellers saw the early Chr,stian settlements, standing stones, and stone circles around Galway. Received by the mayor of Sligo, the students proceeded to visit the grave of William Butler Yeats, in Drumcliff, outside of Sligo. What really made their stay outstanding in this city was a husband and wife team of two archaeologists. Both of them gave informative lectures. The husband took the students on a day trip to the passage graves, dating back to megalithic times. Giving a lecture with color slides, the wife talked on the archaeological historical significance of Ireland, dating from 2000 B.C. to 500 A.D. Last of all, the students went to Dublin, capital of Ireland. There, they visited Trinity College. They listened to a lecture on Continued on Page 4

''Man On The Street'' by SUE COSTA Recently I have noticed that the mid-winter blahs have made their way to Newport. So, when I was confronted with the prospect of coming up with this month's question, I chose to relive some interesting moments with the hope of sparking a few funny bones. Everyone can relate to this question. We recently celebrated the first anniversary of the great blizzard of '78. What is your funniest recollection of the "snowy week"?
A, Trilla
B. Reismann
My first victim in this search for a laugh was resident Patrice Amendola. Her contribution: "My most memorable recollection was my car ride from Newport to New Haven, Conn. The driving ban was in effect, but my Nova and I decided to drive home anyway. The roads were totally deserted. I passed three state troopers and kept on going. One 'Smokey' flagged me down but I still kept on going. I'll never forget the roads and the shopping center parking lot monument that was later erected. A Hamden parking lot tarred over some stranded cars and that is a reminder of all the cars I passed along the way home." Junior Adele Trilla remembers as her funny blizzard incident "how my friends and I were chased by Ms. Hillman and one RA after stealing English muffins from the cafeteria."
S. Powell
J. Lisa
Freshman commuter Bob Reismann had a story similar to hundreds of others across the state. "At the time of the blizzard, I was stuck at the Newport Naval Base. Because of a 'Condition Red
Alert' I was unable to make it back home. My fiancee, who was at home at the time, was scared to death because she thought I would be unable to make it home for days. I spent almost all night trying to get dimes so I could call her on a pay phone just to reassure her, 'Don't worry, Honey. It's not over my head . . . yet!' On a wing and a prayer, I made it home the next day after walking nearly five miles from the Naval Base to my house in Middletown." Sue Powell experienced something that would make anyone chuckle. "My funniest recollection of that week was seeing my father watching soap operas." J o a n n e Lisa, a commuting sophomore, gave this reply to the "blizzard" question, "On Tuesday morning I had to walk around the block to get coffee because we had no electricity. What is normally a two minute walk ended up being a half hour, one way. It was impossible to walk; so I had to crawl on all fours. The funniest part, however, was when, crawling over a car, I slid down the front and got buried in the snow. I didn't really know what had happened and wondered when I

would stop sinking. It was quite a project getting out and I must have been quite a sight to see." Anne S h e e h a n had a very unique, if not funny, week. "Although the whole state was closed down, we had to go to school throughout the blizzard." Sophomore Kevin Gregory came through with a very popular recollection. He remembers "getting caught at Washington Square (a long walk from Founders Hall, last year's male durm) with a Nap buddy of mine and 4 cases of beer! It was a long walk, but we made it. I was glad we did until I found no heat or lights at Founders and about 50 other people s t r a n d e d there. Home Sweet Home! And what a celebration! We're something like the U.S. Mail. "Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail, could ever stop the Packy Mail!!"
Christian Life Series Enriches Community by JOANNE MAZNICKI The Christian Life Series here at Salve has been quite enriching for all who were able to take advantage of the opportunities. The first series continued on successive nights from Sunday, February 4, to Tuesday, February 6. Each of these nights was highlighted by special speakers, films, tapes and readings. In addition, the participants shared songs and friendship with each other. The first night definitely started the February series on the right foot with an extremely effective speaker, Rev. James Hawker. His openness and sincerity were well received by the
group. The second evening we were fortunate to have the sensitive and gentle Sister Maureen McElroy. She too touched the lives of all who attended. The first series came to a climax on the last evening with a specially prepared liturgy. Our celebrant was Fr. Gibson, who is the Naval Chaplain living on campus. On this concluding evening there was a special closeness and spark of joy being shared between both students and faculty that were present. The second event sponsored by the Christian Life Series was a series of retreat sessions for students in Ochre Court. These ses-

THE
Crowd Cheers Comedian by TIM LOGAN On Thursday, February 15th, Salve's very own Boathouse played host to a nationally-known, up-and-coming young comedian, Steve Moore. With fear and trepidation, Marcin opened the doors of the Boathouse, ( "Oh, Tim, I hope people will show up!") Well, he got his wish. By show time, the place was packed with people hoping for the best, and they certainly got it. From the moment he stepped on stage, Steve exuded an infectious enthusiasm for his work and delivered his lines with all the confidence of the professional that he is. And what lines they were! From the usual opening lines about the weather, (Jack Frost isn't just nipping at your nose. The little . . . is going for your throat!!!), Steve set the irreverent tone for the evening with a few lines designed to "clear out the plainclothes nuns" in the audience. He then moved on to such diverse topics as the joys of being raised Catholic, the macho image, macho and gay cars, and an uproarious section on the trials of puberty, dealing with such issues as how chest size is related to intelligence, adolescent shaving, and the animalistic cravings of all
young males. No ethnic group was safe either, as he touehed on them all. Steve's most outrageous bit dealt with the problems of having a physical, and the embarrassment of the urine sample in particular. Steve came back for two enc:ires, and ended the evening by leading a chorus of "Happy Birthday" for Maddie Nunes. Throughout, Steve Moore was thoroughly entertaining and had most of the audience in pain from laughing so hard. 1t was firstclass entertainment, and we thank Diane Caplin and her office for sponsoring this "special event," and the Boathouse staff for giving us a chance to spend an hour with this rising star of the comedy world.

Salve Super Sports Place Sixth by LORI MANGIULLI and MAUREEN HARDEN On Saturday, February 3, Salve competed for the fir:it time in the Rhode Island College Super Sports Competition held at R.I. Junior College. Sponsored by Budweiser, the tournament was intended to promote the interest of students, not currently participating in a varsity sport, to compete against various other colleges. Salve Super Sport stars included Marc Allard, Sue Bianchi, Donna Daly, John Finnegan, Linda Gagnon, Maureen Harden, Brian Megley, and Michael Reilly. Since Salve had only one week to prepare for this event, it was the dedication of Coach Kathy Clark that brought some organization to the team and led Salve to sixth place. There were eight R.I. colleges participating in the ;:;ix events. In the basketball contest, Marc Allard, Sue Bianchi, Donna Daly and Michael Reilly earned Salve a second place spot. Taking second place again, in the Frisbee relay were Marc Allard, Sue Bianchi, Linda Gagnon, Maureen Harden, John F i n n e g a n and Michael Reilly. All eight members of our team participated in the
Council Of Exceptional Children Present First Speaker by ELENA M. VIEIRA Dr. Robert Carl, Assistant Director for the Divlsion of Retardation in the R.1. Department of Mental Health, spoke to a group of students, faculty members, and others interested in mental retardation. Appearing on February 21, Dr. Carl is the first speaker whom the student chapter of CEC (Council for Exceptional Children) has hosted at the Newport College - Salve Regina. Dr. Carl discussed some !'rinciples that he felt were essential to any discussion of mental retar-
dation. "Of utmost importance," he stressed, "is public awareness of and exposure to the mentally re ta rd e d or physically handicapped." He suggested that this awareness be accomplished by an opening up and personalization of services, that is, "an appreciation of people because they are different." Secondly, Dr. Carl noted that there is a need to provide assistance to families of mentally retarded children. One way would be for the CEC to provide babysitting services for parents of spe-
Principles In Action by JOANNE SUMMA Working under the supervision of a licensed psychologist for four semester hours a week, the members of the Applied Psychology Field Experience class are presently counseling problemmed individuals in schools, court systems, and spec i a 1 state-funded programs. Anne Hackett, a junior psychology major, is one of the participants in this practicum. As she hopes to work with children upon graduation, she has been placed in a Newport public school, counseling children from pre-kindergarten age through fifth grade. Dr. John Childs, who runs the practicum, works with the social
workers and psychologists to situate the students according to their own area of interest. He conducts a two hour seminar twice a week to discuss the progress of each student. Also, a journal must be kept by each individual participating in the program along with several papers and various readings. This Applied Psychology Field Experience course offers advanced students the opportunity to view first-hand how psychological principles are applied to situations throughout the community. If you would like an opportunity to work in this area or would like more information contact Dr. John Childs.

You track down your staff So faithful and true, As the deadline draws nearer With an empty page two. You struggle with layouts To get things in line, And just when you think Things are going along fine The photographer calls With his sad information, The pictures were ruined Of that special occasion. You take out the aspirins And call your co-editor And together you write A poem, filler or letter. Then down to the printer With a hope in your heart He can read the corrections And not criticize the art. And if you are lucky The proofs will be neat With a promise the paper Will be out in a week. You wait with anticipation For the. printer to call, To pick up your paper For delivery to all. You stop for a minute Sigh proudly and then, The chaotic process Starts over again! KAREN J. MERLIN
tug of war and some ended up on the floor. It seems that the opponents had already won this round, but Salve's athletes were so enthusiastic they didn't realize it, gave the rope a good strong heave with no one on the other side, and ended up strewn over the floor of R.I.J.C. The obstacle course featured a 10 foot wall to climb over, a net which was 20 feet long and 2 feet above the ground to climb under, tires to run through, a high jump, a long jump, hurdles, and a 50 yard dash. We wish to commend John Finnegan for his allegiance to the team in that he kept right on going even though he lost his right sneaker during this event. The last two events were volleyball and the 880 yard relay. Salve was tied for second place throughout the day until the last event, the 880 yard relay, which put us into sixth position.Providence College and Johnson and Wales took first and second place respectively, and will go on to participate in the New England Regional College Super Sports Competition. The team winning the Regionals will compete in the Nationals and the winner on the National Level will have earned a trip to Bermuda. Taking third place was Roger
Williams College; fourth, Bryant College; fifth, Rhode Island Junior College; sixth, Salve ·Regina College; seventh, Rhode Island College and eighth place went to Brown University. Since this was Salve's first entry in this annual event and we had only about a week to prepare, the team did very well. Salve Super Sports stars and Coach Kathy Clark are to be commended for their unyielding effort, dedication, and enthusiasm.

What Senate ? ? by TIM LOGAN One branch of student government that does not get the publicity which it should - that explains this article - is the Student Academic Senate. This group of hard working students, under the direction of Sr. Sheila and Ms. Barbara Silvia, is presided over by Sue O'Connor, a senior. Currently three projects are occupying the Senate's attention. One is review of the Student Information Handbook with appropriate suggestions for revisions; another is planning a career day
for the spring; the third is the formation ot a unitorm academic 1euut: wr the College. Meetings to accomplish these goa1s are held every two weeks, with executive cominittee meetmgs held on the odd weeks. Beginning in March, the Senate is scheduled to publish a news,etter of its activities. If you have any ideas that you would like to see acted upon by your department, why not contact your senator? He or she will be glad to forward your idea to the Senate for consideration.
Ireland 1979 The merry music-magic of this land Made make-believing easy to believe. And memories danced backward through my mind To times when I once laughed and sang and played Without a war or worry in my heart, Nor fear to interfere with daytime dreams Of years when I might dare to live my life As though it were a borrowed book of time With chapters left to fill and pass along To others I might meet along the way. This journey through this land and through my mind Has brought me back to where I need to be With child's eye-view of earth and sea and sky To live this life as though I wrote the book. SUSAN ANDREWS
