Conner Defends America's Cup Off Newport Coast Those of us who spent this past summer in Newport know why the dorms opened late, why classes began in October, why we take finals after Christmas, why we have no Spring Break, and why the class of '81 will not graduate until May 31. There is a significant number of students, however, who were not in Newport to witness the excitement of the 24th Defense of the America's Cup, and consequently may not know the reason for all the resulting inconvenience. Challengers and Defenders from all over the country and all over the world gathered in Newport to compete for the coveted America's Cup. The final America's Cup race is sailed by only two boats - a defender and a challenger.
There were four countries competing for the position as challenger (France, Sweden, Great Britain and Australia), and three boats competing for the defender's slot (Courageous, Clipper and Freedom). The bulk of the summer was spent r a c in g elimination-type races which resulted in the naming of Australia's boat "Australia" and America's boat "Freedom" as contenders. The winner of the America's Cup is determined through a best four out of seven series sailed approximately nine miles off Newport's Brenton Point on a 24.3 mile course. After Australia and Freedom had sailed five races, Dennis Conner had skippered Freedom to Continued on Page S

A whole season is planned and there are many variations which should satisfy everyone's cultural tastes. On November 15th, the Continued on Page S

Traditional Ceremony Replaced by KATHY POMPA "Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change, how can our Works and Thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change is indeed painful, yet ever needful,¡ and if Memory has its force and worth, so also has Hope." CARLYLE
In the best interests of the Salve Regina College student majoring in Nursing and others, the Department of Nursing has reviewed and changed its commitment to the traditional capping ceremony. The Nursing Department maintains that the nurse's cap is an on-going symbol of the hospital industry paternalism toward nurses and nursing. The cap strengthens the medical profession's perception of the nurse as the "handmaiden of the physician." Furthermore, the department's faculty prefers to present nursing as "an autonomous, intellectual health discipline, the practitioner of which possesses the authority and the responsibility for the quality of the services rendered." The nursing students at SRC
are educated at the Baccalaureate level to become licensed practitioners of professional nursing. They must, then, consistently project their essential role as responsible leaders in health care. Consequently the focus of the junior level event be shifted from the traditional "capping", more appropriate to the a c a d e m i c achievement of the s t u d e n t s , which has earned them formal induction into the Department of Nursing. The first official Nursing Department junior level function 1980 Nursing Induction - was held on Sunday, 26 October, at Saint Mary's Church, followed by a reception at Ochre Court hosted by the faculty indicating the department's welcome and support to the class and their parents.
J. Kubinec Wins Fulbright by DEBORAH ELIASON Joyce Kubinec, a 1980 graduate of the Newport College, was a recipient of the Fulbright-Hays Scholarship and has spent the past few months studying at the University of Warsaw in Poland. The Fulbright scholarship fund sponsors gradua te study abroad in many areas of the world, including Poland. An applicant must have sufficient knowledge of the native language, since normal university courses must be taken in conjunction with their independent graduate work. Joyce received her B.A. degree in Politics, and needless to say, is studying in a country that has become a Soviet nightmare and a politics major's dream come true. The recent strikes and changes in political leadership have given her a chance to experience history in the making. As Joyce put it, "I realized I was really in Poland when we heard on the news that Russian soldiers were on the Eastern and Western borders and we might have to Continued on Page 4

Memorial Mass Held For Tim Ford On October 8 in the great hall of Ochre Court, a memorial mass was held for Tim Ford, a Salve student who died tragically last month near his home in Fairfield, Connecticut. The mass was a beautiful experience for those who attended, among them Tim's parents and other members of his family. Karen Dobson, head of Campus Ministry, along with the generous help of the administration, prepared this memorial mass, and thanks to Miss Dobson and all others are well deserved. The major motif of the ceremony was life after death, which is really the essence of Christian living. Fr. Pignato's homily was not elaborate in length, but his message was very beautiful and the presentation was simple, but moving. He explained to us how Tim had reached his eternal home with our Lord, and even though the sense of loss was deep, we should always remember and cherish our beliefs. After Communion, a dramatization was given by two Salve undergraduates portraying Jesus and his Apostle Thomas. The dramatization de a 1 t with the death and resurrection of Christ. This segment of the mass furthered the message of life after death very well. This experience seemed to be very moving to all those who were in attendance. Death is never an easy fact to accept, but for those who attended, it is probably a great deal easier to under- / stand. /
