Celebrate Fifty Years As Mercy by JOANNE MAZNICKI It is with the utmost admiration and honor that we the college community wish to extend our congratulations to Sister Mary Jean Tobin, Sister Mary Eloise Tobin, Sister Mary Loretto O'Connor on their Golden Jubilee. This year marks their 50th year living and working as Sisters of Mercy. During these years, their lives have influenced many others. The positive effects these three educators have had on this college community is clearly seen in the respect shown for their sincerity and concern. Equally they must be commended for their humbleness. For these qualities and all the grace they have blessed us with we would like to reply, "We thank you, Lord."

American Minority Issues Discussed
Ada Deer, Carmela Lacayo Conclude Symposium by SUSANNE HOFFMAN The '78-'79 Peace and Justice Symposium lectures continued on March 15, 1979 with speeches by Ms. Ada Deer and Ms. Carmela Lacayo. This was the closing session for this year, and was also the first Symposium Workshop in which students and faculty had a
chance to join in discussion groupe focused on some a::1pect of the '78-'79 Peace and Justice Symposiums. In the Twombley-Burden Room of O'Hare Academic Center at 9:00 a.m., the day began with an inspirational lecture by Ms. Ada
Deer. Dressed in traditional Indian attire, Ms. Deer discussed the "current problems and issues in Native American affairs, their historical background in light of a cross cultural perspective." A member of the Menominee tribe of American Ipdians, Ms. Deer focused on the historical plight of the A~erican Indian and the obstacles they faced in dealing with people who had -not been educated toward an understanding and accepta-iice of them. Th~ Menominee · tribe was offi--.,'.cially established in Wisconsin in .>· 1854, although they have been in the area since the 1600's. During the period between 1887 and 1934, millions of acres of land were taken from all American Indian tribes, debasing their economic, social, an,d religious lives. Nine and one half million acres were ceded away from the Menominees to the government in the 1800's. The Indian Reorganization Act halted the actual confiscation of land, but failed to return any of it to the Indi.i,ns. It did not end their oppression either. Ironically, th{!_ American Indians, the first
settlers of this country, were the last to be given citizenship, and were not given the right to vote until 1954. During the next few decades as presidential administrations changed, the outlook toward the American Indian changed. After a switch in relocation of Indians from reservation to city, a movement to recognize American Indian rights occurred during the Kennedy Administration. Then the Nixon policy was self-determination without termination. Ms. Deer stressed the importance of land to the culture of the American Indian. They have a great amount of respect for the land and nature. She referred to the Menominee tribe as "people of the wild rice." When the government began taking away their land, the basis of their culture was undermined. Once the land has been taken away, declared Ms. Deer, there's not much left to take. Ms. Deer's lecture was best summed up in her statement that "no other group personifies the need for social justice better than the American Indian." With the conclusion of Ms.
Ceremony Honors New Sigma Members by SALLY J, INGRAHAM The Sunday of March 18th brought many happy and proud parents, relatives, and friends to Ochre Court for the induction of twenty new members of Sigma Phi Sigma, the national Mercy honor society.
A celebration · of witness and service was offered by Rev. William Gibson beginning at two o'clock in the Great Hall. Following the homily, the twenty new members were called forward. All new members received a certificate of membership and lit a
candle which they held while reciting the Ministry Call of Sigma Phi Sigma. Upon completion of a most beautiful ceremonial mass, a reception was held in the State Drawing Room. Those new members who were chosen on the basis of scholarship, fidelity, and service to Salve Regina College include seniors: Barbara Kivlehan, Elizabeth Lombard, Maureen Mccann, Laura Swift Oakley, and Andrea Rossetti; juniors: Pam Archambault, Karen Calitri, Susan Costa, Karen Cronan, Dina Gonsalves, Joyce Kubinec, Joseph Little, Lisa McDaniel, and Elena Vieira; sophomores: Dymphna Flanagan, Susanne Hoffman, Meg Little, Joanne Maznicki, Joanna Penta, and Angela Ubriaco.
Deer's lecture, numerous discussion groups met to formulate questions or statements. The purpose of the discussion groups was to "wrap up" the Symposium lectures and reach a conclusion in the form of a question or a statement that tied together either specific lectures, or the entire scope of the '78-'79 Peace and Justice Symi>osium lectures. Ms. Carmela Lacayo addressed the college community in the afternoon on March 15, 1979. Ms. Lacayo lectured on "the ethical principles, assumptions and values found in U.S. legislation." Her discussion of this issue concerned minority groups in the United States with special reference to
the Hispanic perspective. Ms. Lacayo declared "There is no public policy and there are no ethical assumptions" relating to minority groups in the United States. Public policy has not been synonymous with public interest, as far as minority groups are concerned. Ms. Lacayo stated that most of our policy-makers are W.A.S.P.'s

New Master's Program To Begin This Summer by BARBARA KIVLEHAN This summer, a new Master of Science program will go into effect. Capt. Michael Dasovitch, chairman of the Management Department at Salve Regina - The Newport College, will direct the Master's Program in Health Services Administration. This program was one and one-half years in planning. Approved by the Board of Trustees in January, 1979, the Master's Program in Health Services Administration will officially begin with two courses this coming summer session. This program is the only one of its kind being offered in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. When asked what career options were available for graduates of this program, Capt. Dasovich commented that this program offers a number of options. For example, some choices are hospital administration, nursing home administration, public health administration, institutional services, medical associations, and hospital associations. Besides, this program will help to prepare nurses
for advancement in administration. There are a few prerequisites for the Master's Program. Some undergraduate courses in management or in health services administration would be beneficial. However, students with little or no prior management experience can be accepted into the program. The program requirements consist of four foundation courses in management at the graduate level, five required core courses in health management, and three electives. Capt. Dasovich stated that there is a positive reaction to this new program. A number of students, he said, are taking graduate level courses that will enable them to transfer over to the program. Wheh__asked about his reaction to the · program, Capt. Dasovich commented, "I'm very excited about it because it's such a good program.'' He also stated that a Board of Advisors is being formed to assist the Dean of Graduate School in this new program. This board of advisors will be made up

''Man On The Street'' by SUE COSTA Spurred on by the recent Symposium and the promised followup activities, this month's question is based on the Symposium and its impact on the College Community. Our question is: Our second year of Symposium lectures has gone by. What is your opinion of these lectures ? Do you think they are important, necessary? And lastly, what topic would you be interested in as next year's Symposium theme?
R. Murphy
L. Wittenberg
Doug Dacosta had one of the few negative reactions that I came across: "Topics were irrelevant and unimportant to the audience which they were expected to attract. If they want to have the student body attend, because of interest in the topics, the topic must be interesting, like Spenser Sacco's and Ada Deer's stimulating talks. These topics could be related to our school curriculum in such areas as Criminal Justice, Political Science, etc. Otherwise, how can you expect the students to attend, short of having the teachers require the students to attend?" Rose-Anne Murphy expressed the thoughts of many: "I feel that the Symposium is a worthwhile experience for the students in this community. It ' was well attended this year, and I hope that the attendance will increase next year."
D. Gonsalves
S. O'Connor
Sophomore Lorrie Wittenberg stated her thoughts in this manner: "I feel that these lectures have all been very interesting. I think that the Symposiums are important because they give us an insight on justice and peace by having special speakers speak of their view on a particular aspect of Justice and Peace. These Symposiums are a great idea, because
it raises the level of awareness on the subject of Justice and Peace." Dina Gonsalves, a Junior with a promising career in Criminal Justice, relayed her feeling simply : "The Symposium, for me, was an educational experience which few college students are exposed to. The topics were issues which all people should know about, no matter how little they remember. In today's society, an educated person is someone who knows what is going on outside the classroom also. Next year, I would like to see the issue of women and their roles in society discussed. Also, how the changing role of the woman has affected social institutions." Senior H i s t o r y Major Sue O'Connor held a very positive attitude aout the lectures: "The Peace and Justice Symposium is an invaluable contribution to one's education - students as well as faculty. As an institution of higher education and as a Christian community, it behooves us to confront and grapple with the questions of Peace and Justice. I only hope that the faculty and students who did not attend will come to the realization that one s education transcends the walls of the classroom."
M. Harden
M. Powers
Maureen Harden looked back at the Symposium as a whole: "I enjoyed the Symposium once again this year. I feel it is an opportunity for students to learn other than by means of the book and classes. For the most part, the people who attend the lectures find them to be important in that they inform them of what is happening outside of the college community. One area which interests me is that of the male-female •role' in society. Today, I feel many people are unsure of what their life means to them. This relationship in a marriage is also very important." Senior Mike Powers held the last opinion on this subject: "The Symposium lectures are a necessary facet for one's development along with a high education. It is important that all are aware of problems that we face and will face in the future concerning our fellow man. Unfortunately, few colleges have such programs."

NAUTILUS
Dynamic by DIANE LOWE The Great Hall of Ochre Court came alive recently with the stirring strains of the oboe and piano. Bert Lucarelli, an oboist, was accompanied by Thomas Hyrnkiv, playing the piano. Members of the audience, who gathered on Tuesday, March 13, were clearly delighted by the awe-mspiring performances rendered by the artists, Pieces composed by Schumann, Wiederkehr, B l o o m and Barre were presented. Both men are international artists and have performed at the Newport Musical Festival. Mr. Hyrnkiv received the gold medal at the Geneva Competition in 1967. He is a regular performer and member of "L'Ensemble" in New York.

Deliver Delight
An oboe is a woodwind musical instrument with a conical opening and a double-reed mouthpiece. Mastery of this instrument requires numerous years of study and dedication. Mr. Lucarelli certainly demonstrated these qualities throughout the evening. Comments about the performance included, "Tonight was a pleasurable and relaxing experi· ence," "I'm so glad I took advantage of the opportunity to listen to such fine musicians," and one student simply commented that the concert was "Great!!" A wine and cheese reception followed the concert. Many members of the audience remained to converse with Mr. Lucare1li and Mr. Hyrnkiv. Both men were cordial and chatted about their pro-

Dr. Klein Addresses C. E. C. by ELENA M. VIEIRA Dr. Stanley D. Klein, editor and co-founder of The Exceptional Parent magazine, spoke to a group at Salve on April 3. He was the second lecturer that the student chapter of the Council of Exceptional Children has invited to the Newport College. Dr. Ktein dealt with the problems that professionals have in working with the parents of special children. Both the professionals and parents contribute to these problems. Many experts have a negative attitude about the judgment of the parents while the parents are often overwhelmed by the experts' suggestions. The tension between the two comes down to one question: who knows what's best for the child, the parents or the professionals? The best solution, according to Dr. Klein, is the combined efforts of both parties. Experts in the field can gain greater insights into each child with the cooperation of the parents. Together they can decide which educational program is best suited tor the individuals. Only when both groups cooperate fully can the child truly

It concerns money elements. How can we du something about promoting equal rights among the ethnic sub-cultures'( Ms. Lacayo sees the answer to be our own education. We have a responsibility as citizens and as Christians to develop a cun:oc,ous posture concerning the problems of racism. Ms. Lacayo as.Kea two other questions of the audience. "Is a comprorn1se of certain vames and ethics needed to formulate publ,c policy and obliterate prejudice., and initiate peace and justice in America?", and "Is aemocracy dangerous in that it allows us not to participate directly but to elect officials to do all the wurk ?" These questions certainly would provoke some soul searching. Ms. Lacayo said in reference to the second question, "The American people exhibit apathy in public policy, even in their election of officials who are being indicted for criminal offenses."

benefit. Even though Dr. Klein was late and his lecture shortened, he provided the audience with a greater awareness of the dilemmas faced by parents and professionals. Everyone left with new insights and a different perspective on the problems involved.
Continued from Page 1 of a number of leaders from the local community, hospitals, state health planning agency, and minority groups. A number of prominent people have already agreed to serve on this board or to become teachers in the program. In the future, new courses will be added.
Attorney Supports ERA by DINA GONSALVES On Tuesday, March 27, Sheila Cabral Sousa addressed the college on the Equal Rights Amendment. Mrs. Sousa, a Rhode Island attorney, is a staunch supporter of the ERA. In her speech, Mrs. Sousa brought out numerous subtle ways in which women are discriminated against, even in our liberal socie-
ty. This amendment, according to Mrs. Sousa, would not take away women's femininity but would give them their own identity and equal rights. Many people were confused about the ERA and Mrs. Sousa's speech answered many questions about this controversial topic. It was informative and enlightening for all who attended.
In conclusion, Ms. Lacayo stated that we, as educated people, have the potential to do so much good, but we are so apathetic. "If you can walk away with a little bit of a change of mind, or even with a question about Peace and Justice, the Symposiums will have been a success." This statement sums up the purpose of the Symposiums. After Ms. Lacayo's lecture, the discussion group leaders presented their questions and statements to the audience and to the two lecturers. The discussion g r o u p s seemed to have been a success, and the statements and questions were relevant and provocative. If the college Cvmmunity can realize the value of the Sympo-· sium lectures, and can take advantage of the opportunity to the fullest extent, the Symposium lecturcis will be worthwhile. The
chance to listen to the educated, experienced, and mind-awakening speakers that have been at Salve for the Symposiums in the past, as well as those who will be here in the future, is an educational experience for the community of immeasurable value. The '78-'79 Symposium lectures have been a success, and we hope that this will continue.
CORRECT/ON: In the last issue of '!'HE NAUTILUS, we had identified one person as Adele Trilla. This was the name given to us at the time of the Man-On-TheStreet interview. We have since learned that the girl's real name is Adele Mubarek. Although we do not know or understand why Miss Mubarek would give us an incorrect name, we suggest that one of Miss Mubarek's friends make a name tag for her so she will not make this mistake again!

by RUTH LL"\IA Now that the good weather has come along, why not be one of the spectators for the Varsity Softball or Varsity Tennis team ? Softball is usually played on Carey Mansion's lawn, and tennis in the back of Mercy. For time and dates call Mr. Paul Cardoza, Ext. 321, or look in Thursday's News Bulletin. So come on and cheer your friends; show them you've got spirit. Intramural softball is also coming up; it's on a co-ed basis 5 men ~ 5 women on the field. Get your team together or sign up for one as soon as possible. And keep yourself in shape. A reminder to all students who will be Seniors in the Fall of 1980 or after. You must pass competency tests in math and English before begi.nning senior year. Any questions contact Br. Gene Lappin, O'Hare 112, ext. 262.

Salve is one of the few colleges in the New England area that has a full-time athletic trainer on its staff? Well, we do and he is available to you, not just the BJOC "Big Jocks On Campus." His name is Jim Wilson. Jim comes to us as, a graduate from the University of Michigan, where he was a student trainer for five years and a full-time trainer for one year. He holds a master's degree in Physical Education from U.R.I. Jim, who teaches chemistry and physics to ninth graders at Thompson, is married and has two sons. Jim attends all varsity games and practices if necessary for
which is open to all, from 9 :001 :00. The tickets are $20.00 or dance only $10.00. Formal dress. T.J.'s will bartend. For tickets contact Diane G r i t f i n , Robin Schulz, Michelle Fallon, or Mary L0u Trainor. Following day, 22nd there will be an outdoor concert with, Sammy Brown and Fred, Tazz and possibly a third band. This will take place in Weakhearst Lawn. Refreshments will be served. If it rains it will be postponed until the 29 of April. All are Welcome! For tickets contact any member of the Life Senate. The Student Life Senate in its last meetings discussed the concert weekend. It also brought up the idea of having a ride board put up for commuters. In case something should happen, you may be able to find transportation from another commuter. Another idea that was brought up was a student directory with everyone being free to be included or not. This would be a great help to the Commuters. If you have any ideas you would like brought up at the meetings contact any of the members of the Life Senate, especially myself.

Yes, one of the big steps in the growth and development of the campus was the addition of a training room and whirlpool which are located in Mercy Hall. Jim provides a valuable service to the whole college community and is a welcomed addition to Salve's staff.

Helpful Hints For Apartment Hunters by JOHANNE RAYMOND Are you thinking about moving into your own apartment next year? Well, there certainly are advantages to such a move, but it is not as easy as it looks. If you are serious about moving off campus here are some tips that may help you find exactly what you want. It is best to start looking early, so now would be a good time to start. First of all, the number of people that will share the apartment should be determined. You can then discuss the financial situation. The amount of money each person can afford per month must be settled. Expenses include rent, utilities, food and other extras. Newspaper ads will state whether utilities are included or not. With the price of oil on the rise, the most ideal apartment would include the price of heat in the rent. Other utilities such as electricity and the phone bill are separate. Electricity is not usually a very great expense. The phone bill is another story. Your cost per month is personal. One way to beat a phone bill is to make all long distance calls collect.
On the newspapers. An average ad for an apartment runs a few lines. It usually provides all vital information such as size, location, price, whether it is furnished or not, the realty agent and whether the utilities are included in the rent or not. Because this will probably be your first apartment, looking for a furnished one would be logical. The size of an apartment also becomes very important. Make sure there will be enough room for all those involved. Location is vital also. The closer to your everyday destination the better, especially if no cars are availale for transportation. Above all, monthly rent is often the most important factor. Look carefully, do not take a place that may turn out to be more than you can afford. Take your time in looking and in making a decision. A realty agent can be extremely helpful. Give him all the information so that he can provide you with a list of possible apartments. For example, tell him you want a three bedroom apartment, furnished including heat, and the most you can afford is $300 per month. This will give him an idea
of what you want so that no time will be wasted. Placing your name at several agencies will give you more of a choice. The same apartment may be carried by several realtors, one offering it at a lower price than the other. Once you have found possibilities, lo:)k them over carefully. Check entrances and locks, making sure each is safe. The apartment itself should have safe locks for your protection. The apartment should be clean, walls freshly painted and the bathroom and kitchen modern and very clean. Beds should also be clean. Make sure there is closet space and a working stove and refrigerator. If all looks well, your final step is the signing of the lease. It is a formal contract between you and your landlord. Make sure that all he has promised you is in that lease. A damage deposit will be required, which is returned when the lease expires. It is usually one month's rent. I hope with all the hints I have provided, all will go weil. Take your time in looking and compare what is being offered to what you want. I'm sure you will be satisfied. Happy Hunting.

· Academic Advising Aids TRUE or FALSE - Indicate your response to the left of each statement. . . . . . . . . Academic Advising is basically designed for students who are having difficulty in their courses. . . . . . . . . Once a student knows his/ her departmental and general degree requirements, there is no further need to seek advising. . . . . . . . . Two students who graduate with the same major and minor are equally prepared to enter their career fields and therefore are considered equally competitive in terms of obtaining a job. . . . . . . . . An Academic Advisor is consulted for course selection only. If you answered "TRUE" to any or all of the above statements, you need to read further . . . Academic Advising is designed primarily for the purpose of assisting students as they strive to make the very most of their educational experience. While your faculty advisor may request an appointment with you when he/ she sees that you are in danger of not completing course or departmental requirements, the functions of a faculty advisor are multi-faceted. Your faculty advisor can assist you with questions such as: a) What courses are most appropriate for me to take during the coming semester? b) Considering my career interests, are there internships, special programs, activities, or other courses outside my major and minor fields that I should pursue? c) Prior to submitting my Placement Folder, are there sugge£tions for alterations I can gain from my advisor and thereby feel more assured that I am presenting my capabilities adequately? d) Which graduate schools may have a program that meets my needs and career interests? Faculty members who serve as academic advisors have available to them resources gained from experience. These resources are offered to students because of their sincere interest in the students at this College. Academic Advising begins prior to the Freshman Year and continues on throughout the student's program. An associate or baccalaureate degree is much more than the mere accumulation of credits that satisfy the requirements set by the department and the College. There are courses available as electives which may be helpful in gaining a job after graduation. For instance, through the Symposium ::leries, students have been reminded several times of the advantages of being bilingual. The study of languages, culture, and civilization contribute to the student's adaptive abilities and his/ her career opportunities. Unfortunately, all college graduates are not educated. Opportunities are offered by the college; advising is offered by the faculty; however, students choose whether or not to take advantage of the educational opportunities offered. Participation in activities, experience with committee work, assisting in Tutorial Services, and volunteering in the community are additional ways in which you can gain some valuable experience outside the classroom. Prospective job applicants gain the p:)sitions they seek often because there was a variety of ways in which they displayed their interest in the field, and their commitment to those they hope to serve as a professional. Before you register in May, seek academic advising from your faculty advisor, be certain that you have declared a major, and clearly understand which courses are required. Commit yourself to gaining the very most from your education and stop by the Academic Office for any additional information you may need. ACADEMIC ADVISING OFFICE

''The Gym Locker'' by TIM LOGAN It's spring, that time of year when a man's fancy turns to ... sports ? ! ? Well, to them too! In the varsity area, men's and women's tennis softball are ready to begin play, while in the intramural department, basketball is in full swing and softball is waiting its turn. The men's basketball crown has already been clinched by the Birdmen. As Marc Allard and Ray Galladay led their team to its second straight title, they simply outclassed the rest of the league, though the Commuters and the Coldies gave them s :>me tough games. In women's play, Ochre Lodge has looked awesome in its early games, with only Seaview able to give them a run. Ochre's depth and height enable them to dominate the boards at both ends, and this usually means victory in any league. The outlook for women's soft-
ball once again looks good, as Coach Diane Caplin seeks to improve upon last year's fine season. She has no paucity of candidates this year, probably because the word is out that she is a superb c- ach and a great person to play for. Women's tennis is a question mark. Five excellent freshmen will do their best to make up for the loss of last year's number one player, Karen McGee, and this greater depth should give them a successful year. The men's tennis squad is another question mark, having lost two players to graduation and hoping that Steve Combes' shoulder will heal quickly. But I guarantee that they will be competitive. We urge all of you to come out and support these Spring varsity sports. The softball team plays in the field next to Maintenance, while the tennis teams play at the Mercy and Sea view courts. Come out and cheer!!

"First Class Fun"
Come To The Cabaret '79 by LORI MANGIULLI Can a cabaret prove course competency? At the beginning of the semester the students of Theatre Workshop I would have said no, but now they believe it to be an objective they can accomplish. Back in January, those enrolled in English 250 (Theatre Workshop I) filed into a small, square, dreary room which held the bare sketeton of a theatre. A stage, fiats, and about 65 theatre seats, most of which were stacked up against one wall, all pleaded, "theatre." It was up to the members of the class to make the room known as the "Little Theatre" really work as a theatre. By the next class, Roger Bissaillon and Danny Mallon drafted a workable floor plan and physically turned the interior of the sad room into something useful. Under the instruction of Joan David, the next several classes were spent 1 e a r n i n g and practicing basic acting, directing, and staging techniques. This involved writing and effectively performing scores, pantomimes, and skits. The long-range goal of this workshop consisted of a class production of some sort. From the first class, the students were trying to decide whether to write a play by themselves or to perform in and direct an established play. Time didn't allow the class to totally write their own script and some of the class opted for an established play. Luckily, they stumbled on a compromise in the
form of a cabaret. Entitled, Cabaret '79, it is a compromise in that incorporated in it are two scenes from plays by William Shakespeare and Rodgers <1.nd Hammerstein, and also featured is a classwritten soap opera, talk show and many "specialties." Responsible for creating Cabaret '79 are Roger Bissaillon, Terri Ciriello, Lori Mangiulli, Karen Pagliarini, and Anna Papianni. These students have constructed the opening of the play, written lyrics and music to the opening song and have come up with a unique way of providing continuity to the performance. Tying up loose ends and smoothly stringing along the different acts of the cabaret are also functions of these people. Having added responsibilities are Roger in playing piano and Terri as the "vampy singer." Under the direction of Susan Strange, the students will present "Little House of Uncle Thomas" from The King and I. Though not original, this number has gotten from its performance a style all its own. This version uses an oriental slant with the flavor of a Greek chorus. The ;;econd established play of the cabaret, "The Rustics' Play" from W i 11 i a m Shakespeare's A M i d s u m m e r Night's Dream, will be directed by Lori Mangiulli. This act, too, is originally blocked and staged. Other members of the class will be portraying soap opera characters in a class-written soap. Leo
Bottari, Jr. will oversee this portion of the production. The class is also very proud of their witty talk show directed by Roger Bissaillon and Pamela Rayhill. In the form of a spoof on The Merv Griffin Show, it's bound to crease your face with laughter. Also involved in the cabaret under the heading of "specialties" is Sally Quinn as Rosanna Rosanna Danna. She will be preparing and directing her own skit. Directed by Rosemary Davis, Chuck Ubaldi will perform in Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape." Finally, Anna Papianni will act in and direct a series of pantomimes she has created. Those students not directly involved in acting in or directing the play will be designing sets and changing sets, and in charge of props and make up. As you can see, the entire class with the instruction, guidance, and patience of Joan David has coordinated their efforts, talents, and knowledge into their very own play. Almost every aspect of this production from beginning to end is the responsibility of the students in the class and will serve as the final examination for English 250. The class challenges, "We a.sk you, will our cabaret prove student competency in the basic techniques and aspects of the:ttre? Come join us during our final examination on Wednesday, May 9 at 6 :30 p.m., and decide for yourselves as we entertain you."
Continued from Page 3 creative rendition of the alphabet in v er s e , and the "Meatloaf Twins" did a lively dance to a popular song. Gigi Dasovitch with friends Moira McAvinn and Karen Calitri sang a harmonious version of "By My Side" and Livercrotchy (pronounced Li-ber-a-chi) tickled the ivories for awhile. Special appearances were made by the Coneheads and the Blues Brothers, as well as Kelly McKenna who recited interesting tidbits of info from the Guiness Book of World Records. The competition was fierce but one act stood out among the rest. The Founders' People disguised as Salve's Macho Men captured the audience's favor by performing to a catchy disco tune. They certainly took the cake, not to mention the $25.69 check, and they deserved every fluid ounce of it, if you know what I mean. F i r ;; t c 1 a s s entertainment? Maybe not, but for a buck-fifty, Salve's Gong Show is without a doubt, first class fun.
