Sr. M. Augustine San Souci Sister M. Augustine San Souci, the Academic Advisor for all R.N.'s who have come to Salve to earn a bachelor's degree in Nursing, is not a completely new addition to the faculty here. From 1948-1969, Sister Augustine was the director of the division of Nursing at Salve. Sister Augustine graduated from Catholic University in 1948, and she received her Master's Degree in 1954. In 1969, Sr. Augustine was the executive director of the New Hampshire Nurses Association, a constituent of the American Nurses Association. Also an assistant professor in Nursing, Sister Augustine has seen "great progress" made in the department since its earlier days. Sister Augustine attributes much of this progress to the faculty and leadership. Most of the work Sister Augustine does with R.N.'s is to help them "chart the course" for their degree. A diploma or an Associate's Degree is not necessarily a half-completed Bachelor's Degree. These students need to be guided toward proper course se-
Mr. Joseph McCormack years, he has been a Senior Lecturer on that topic for the past seventeen years. "Born and bred" in Massachusetts, Mr. McCormack now lives in Falmouth on the Cape with his wife, seven daughters, and three sons. He said he doesn't mind commuting, adding, "You wouldn't leave heaven once you found it, would you?" Upon his arrival at Salve Regina, Mr. McCormack became aware of the impression made on him by the Chairman of the Criminal Justice Department, "one outstanding individual," Dr. Charles Cooke. Said Mr. McCormack of Dr. Cooke, "In twenty-seven years of Criminal Justice I have never met a more extraordinary individual. He was a person who truly desired to teach and improve the Criminal Justice system." Mr. McCormack feels that Salve Regina is a beautiful College, and that all the faculty he has met and worked with show a sincere desire to help people. We all extend a warm welcome to Mr. McCormack and our hopes that he

Of the work she does as Academic Advisor of the Nursing Department, Sr. Augustine said, "It is one of the most rewarding positions I've had in my whole career. It's a very tangible sort of assistance to someone who really wants help. When the students are successful and happy, I'm successful and happy. It's a thrilling experience.'' We all welcome Sr. Augustine back to Salve. Joanne Mullaney Joanne Mullaney has joined the full-time faculty at Salve this year.

While in Appalachia, Ms. Mullaney taught assessment skills to nurses in a mining region. She commented on the extremes of wealth and poverty, and indicated tha\ th~ poorest people lived in the mountains. The experience was "one intense month" for Joanne Mullaney as she was on call 24 hours a day. "There is a wonderful energy in the people," she stated, and "the myths about Apparachia are not true." She added that there certainly exist poor living conditions, but the people manage. They do have a great need for medical care. "I never cease to be amazed by the beauty at Salve," remarked Ms. Mullaney. We welcome Joanne Mullaney back to Salve.

by CAROL LEMIEUX and NANCY FIELD A past, and certainly continuing inspiration to the Criminal Justice students and to the college community was Dr. Charles Warren Cooke. In-service and preservice students have been guided by Dr. Cooke toward the new attitudes and trends so important to those approaching career goals. All who have known Dr. Cooke have grown to realize the lasting impact he has had on their lives. He was truly a man who cared deeply about his students and the Criminal Justice Department. As his students continue on to a career in Criminal Justice, the memory of Dr. Cooke will certainly live on in them and be shown to others in the way these students will lend themselves to service as products of a great and inspiring man. Dr. Charles Warren Cooke was born December 4, 11123 in Providence, Rhode Island. He received his B.S. degree at Boston University where he majored in advertising. He went on to receive his Juris Doctorate at St. John's University. In 1950, Dr. Cooke entered the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Los Angeles, Seattle and New York were the first cities in which Dr. Cooke did his investigatory work. While in New York, Dr. Cooke was contacted directly by J. Edgar Hoover who persuaded him to come to Washington. In Washington, Dr. Cooke investigated Federal Bank robberies on the east coast and headed up a team of offices around the country to maintain their efficiency.
After five years, Dr. Cooke was transferred to the position of Principal Legal Counsel. In this position he functioned as a liaison between the Supreme Court and the F.B.I., making certain that decisions made by the Court which concerne.d the F.B.I. were understood and interpreted. In 1975, Dr. Cooke came to Salve Regina College. At that time, the Criminal Justice Department was called "Law Enforce-
Dr. Charles W. Cooke ment.'' This title was not in keeping with the positive philosophy of the field which Dr. Cooke hoped to impress upon his students, so he changed the name to "Criminal Justice.'' Dr. Cooke thoroughly enjoyed teaching at Salve and being with young people. He had a positive attitude about the future of the students here. Dr. Cooke will only be missing from the College in body; his spirit, his memory will live on in all of us.
