SALVE REGINA

Continued Frona Last Issue

New College Faculty Welcomed

by TINA LIARD An addition to the Math and Religious S t u die s Departments this fall is Sr. Leona Misto, a 1962 graduate of Salve Regina.

Sr. Leona Misto Previous to joining us, Sr. Leona was the Director of Education at St. Peter and Paul's parish.

She was also the spiritual director for her community, the Sisters of Mercy.

Although she has been involved with the educational process from kindergarten to high school, this is her first teaching experience on the college level, and she speaks favorably of it. The students of Salve Regina, she feels, are "responsible, serious and healthy."

Along with teaching several math courses, Sr. Leona is teaching a Christian Ethics course which she feels is both interesting and informative. She is also involved with the Academic Advising Committee.

As far as extracurricular interests are concerned, Sr. Leona is a nature lover. She is in awe of

our beautiful campus grounds.

Furthermore, she enjoys gardening, cooking, sewing, reading novels and horror movies.

Sr. Leona believes that "life should be enjoyed" and should "'be creative."She adds that we are "never too old to Jearn."

We warmly welcome your youthful philosophy of life and wish you an enjoyable and enlightening stay at Salve.

by MAUREEN WOODS According to Katherine Flood, the newest member of the Special Education Department, "All people have the right to an education regardless of any handicap they may have." Educating people with specific needs is not an easy task. It requires a great deal of patience and compassion, two qualities which are greatly exhibited in Miss Flood's own persona lity.

4th Annual Governor's Ball Is Highly Successful

by DEBORAH A. ELIASON

Reminiscent of the days of old, Ochre Court once again resounded with music and laughter as Salve Regina College hosted the 4th Annual Governor's Ball. The Ball was held on December 6th, touching off a month long celebration of "Christmas in Newport."

The 16th century French Renaissance motif of Ochre Court appropriately complemented this year's theme for the Ball - the Year of the French. Adding to the atmosphere, red, white and blue floral arrangements accented by miniature French and American flags served as centerpieces.

In addition, 25 French flags and the Governor's flag decorated the Great Hall.

Approximately 300 guests attended this year's Ball. Greeting them, along with a contingent of uniformed Kentish guards, were Governor and Mrs. J . Joseph Garrally, the honorary chairman; Sr. Lucille McKillop, President of the College; and Mr. and Mrs. Albert D'Amico. Dancing was provided

by the Drew-Corcoran Orchestra and entertainment by the Kentish Guard Drum Corps and the Narragansett Bay C h o r us . Hors d'oeuvres were served throughout the evening by Salve Regina College students, along with coffee and pastry at midnight.

Tickets cost $100/couple and proceeds were donated to the financial aid program of the College.

Assisting with the arrangements were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond W. Caine, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew M. Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Antonio L. Giordano, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dugan, Mr. and Mrs. A. Austin Ferland, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Fournier, Mr. Michael Gamino, Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah C. Lynch, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. James L. Maher, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Maher, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meller, Mr. Leonard D. Ossick, Dr. and Mrs. Isadore G. Schaffer, Ronald Heffernan, Gloria Lincourt, Mr. and Mrs. Peter F. Razza and Dr. and Mrs. Anthony J. Regine.

education at Xavier University.

This year she will be going for her doctorate at Boston College with a concentration on the special education and needs of children with autism.

Miss Flood has taught Special Education in the Ohio Public School Department and in Oxford, Ohio a t Miami University. This summer, on the advice of a friend and former Salve Regina student, Katherine decided to come to Newport for her vacation. One day while out sightseeing sh e noticed a sign for Salve Regina College. Remembering all the good things h er friend had said about the school, she decided to stop and investigate the Special Education program at Salve.

Coincidentally, the Special Education Department was in dire need of a teacher to fill their vacancy. Miss Flood was interviewed for the position and was hired in July.

With the addition of Miss Flood, the Special Education Department at Salve Regina is growing and so are the number of programs. One such program, of which she is particularly proud, deals directly with Salve Regina Special Education students. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings Salve students tutor adults with special needs to help them become more independent.

Awareness of the need of specialized education for the handicapped is growing across the nation. Resulting from this is the need for well educated people to teach, and Salve Regina College is growing to meet that need.

by DEBORAH ELIASON This fall the Newport College instituted the new major of accounting. The program director and sole full time teacher at this time is Mr. Paul Pacheco. A viYacious a nd interesting man, he has exciting plans for the new program.

Paul Pacheco Pacheco graduated from Bryant College with a major in Accounting and earned an M.B.A. from South E a stern Massachusetts University. In May of 1981 he will take the last test for his C.P.A. Since his graduation, Mr. Pacheco has been employed in govContinued on Page 4

Freshman Class Elections Held

by MARIE TAYLOR On the day after the National Election, Salve Regina's Freshman Class held its own elections for class officers. This year the race was more competitive than in the past with a large number of students seeking one of the leadership positions.

To avoid confusion about the candidates, the Office of College Activities sponsored a session for speeches so that students could get to meet the nominees and hear their opinions about class activities.

Finally, after much waiting, the results of the polling were released. Salve's Class of 1984 officers are: President Jackie Byrne, Vice President Dawn Di-

Nursing Students Attend Career Day

by KATHY POMPA Representatives from over 30 hospitals were on campus on Wednesday, November 12th, participating in the college's first annual " Nursing Career Day." Sponsored by the College Career Planning and Placement Office, the event entailed two h ours of informal gatherings in O'Hare's lobby.

Interested students were able to gather information concerning employment opportunities, specialty areas, internships, salaries, and benefits involved with the career of nursing. Later in the day, formal interviews were conducted wh ich enabled both students and hospita l representatives to get to know each other on a more "professional" level, facilitating student's important decision making concerning the future.

Nina Kaull, the coordinator of the day, explained her goals for the event: first , to give underclassmen and even high school students, (flyers publicizing the career day were sent to the three loca l high schools, resulting in visits throughout the day by guidance counselors with their interested students!), the opportunity to formulate and perhaps finalize decisions as t o what career they wish to pursue; second, to provide upperclassmen with information about the career opportunities which lie in their ch osen field; and third, t o prompt upp erclassmen, through direct inContinued on Page S

At a recent class meeting the four leaders were asked what they had in mind for the class.

Jackie commented, "I want to make the freshman class a tight unit, because unity is an important aspect, not only in education but in life also."

Dawn said, "Our four years at college are a very important part of our lives that the future will be built upon. Relationships that we will have with our classmates will make us better people and help us to develop as unique individuals."

When asked what she would like to do for the class, Lisa, a commuter student, responded: "I would like to bridge the gap between the commuter and resident students and get everyone to know one another." Tyla remarked, "The class as a whole is starting fresh. We should make the beginning of our new life at Salve a happy and productive one."

Christmas Activities Attract Students

by SUSANNE HOFFMAN A welcome fringe benefit of our late start this semester was a more leisurely month of December, since final exams will be taken in January. The change enabled students to participate more actively in Christmas festivities.

This year's annual Christmas formal, sponsored by the Student Life Senate, was a tremendous success. "The Blue Lights" provided the music that kept a ll who attended on the dance floor or tapping their feet.

Also an enjoyable event was the Christmas Tree Decorating ceremony. All students were invited to attend and participate, and many did. All agreed the ceremony was a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas as the holidays approach.

There was a new attraction, too, which added to the festivities. Students released tensions by swinging sticks at a fat Pinata Santa Claus. When it broke, candy and small prizes spread on the floor at the feet of Santa's assailants.

The events before Christmas break were certainly well-attended and enjoyed by all.

student, feels that Christmas is now less materialistic for her.

"Being away from home makes me appreciate family gath erings more."

The one thing Mary would like for Christmas is a beautiful winter morning with her family all together.

Charmain Alvord, class of '82 with a major in Biology, expressed her feelings in this way.

"Yes, my perception has changed dramatically. When you are in college, you have no time to t h ink about Christmas. You are too busy studying for exams to think about it. It has lost its g lamour and excitement."

M. Bosse

In this month' s issue of The Nautilus, we asked students two questions : Has your perception of Christmas changed since you have been in college? In what way?

And, if you could have one thing for Christmas, what would it be?

Chace Loomis, a fre shman whose major is Computer Science, explained that his perception of Christmas has not changed.

"Since I am a commuter, it seems to me that students tend to spend time together before Christmas, but once Christmas has arrived they would rather go home and spend time with their families."

If Chace could have one thing for Christmas, it would be a cottage up in Vermont or a new car.

As for what she would like for Christmas, a million dollars would do just nicely. "T hat way I would have a house, car and a P h.D." Suzanne Mazza, an upcoming graduate, is a Nursing major who feels her perception of Christmas has changed because she appreciates the holidays more. If she could have one thing for Christmas, it would be a trip to Europe.

By our mere presence as s tudents a t a n institution of higher educa tion,we have indicated tha t w e wish to continue to lea rn, g r ow , and develop intellectually.

H ow ca n we a chieve a ny of these g oals if we have not learned to carry our education outside the classroom? Are we willing to let our educa tion stop a t the 15 h ours we spend in class each week ?

When confronted with a situa tion a s fru strating as student apathy, there is very little re-

course to be taken. As long as even a few students are willing t o contribute to campus organizations, to discontinue them would be unfair. But why should so few have to provide for so many?

Campus organizations should be viewed by students as opportunities to broaden their horizons.

The college sponsors activities to enable us to involve ourselves in areas beyond major course of study.

It is up t o us t o extend ourselves a nd be a ble t o sa y, when we gradua te, tha t w e made a positive contribution to the college and ourselves through our efforts here.

Jeannine Zurmuhlen is a Nursing major and will be graduating in 1982. She summed up the firs t question in this way. " Yes, m y perception has changed because I f eel more of an anticipation towards Christmas . I look forward to being with my family and friends a fter being away from school. I also feel Christmas is a time of rejoicing and of sharing in a ll the festivities. As for a Chris tma s gift for myself, "Why not a trip to Fantasy Island? " Curtis Moraes will be gradua ting this year with a degree in Biology. Curt felt that his perception of Christmas has changed in the past three years. "It has be-

come much too commercialized. It just seems that the true meaning a nd beauty of Christmas is sometimes lost in the hustle and bustle of today's world. I hope to see s implicity, w armth, and love remitted in Christmas. If I could have one thing for Christmas, it would be continued good health, family , and friends."

A Christmas Message From The President In an age which is particularly yours, the word and work of God take on meanings which are particularly yours, showing you new paths toward action for peace, paths which are particularly yours, and a peace which begins with you.

December, 1980 Dear Students: To all of you I extend greetings for Advent, for Christmas, for the realization of the message of these seasons - BRING MY LOVE TO EVERYONE - A message that asks each of us to be a gift bearer, to reach out and to give our unique gift of love to College colleagues, to those at home; and to support in loving concern the hostages in Iran, those on the battlefields of Afghanistan, the persecuted people in San Salvador, those suffering in Northern Ireland, the earthquake victims in Italy, the hungry people of the world - whether hungry for bread or for justice.

It has been gratifying to me in my contacts with you in the classroom, around campus, at social gatherings, in casual conversations, to find so many of you conscious of the Gospel message and anxious to unite y our energies to serve the real needs of people in a role of service which befits God's people.

May the advent of your opportunities to SPREAD THE JOYFUL NEWS bring to you and to all with whom you come in contact, the real m eaning contained in the words, BRING MY LOVE TO EVERYONE.

The message, BRING MY WVE TO EVERYONE, is simple, direct, positive and demanding. It is a message that each one in his/ her life situation must respond to, consider seriously, and weave into the very woof and fiber of his/her daily life. It speaks of making peace at a time when we know our roles as peacemakers can only be fulfilled in helping justice to reign because it is only in the observance of the cause of justice that we can talk of bringing God's love to all.

Yours sincerely,

~· ~4 Sister Lucille McKillop President

Bay Investigated

By Biochem Students

by PAULA TETREAULT Dr. Mary Louise Ide's biochemistry students are about to begin research on pollution in Narragansett Bay. The research will be done to aid Blue-Gold Sea Farm, co-owned and operated by J. Link Murray and Associates, in Melville, Rhode Island.

Areas to be investigated include water testing, both chemically and bacteriologically, for effects of pollution on the marine life in the a rea. Specifically, the group will study th e life cycle of the Pea crab, a little-researched crustacean.

Any information that the students may obtain from their work will be potentially of great value.

The research will be conducted during this school year and possibly next year on a volunteer basis.

Merits Outstanding Citation

by Kathy Pompa Undoubtedly, the highlight of Reunion '80, held last May, was the presentation of the College's first Outstanding Alumni Award to Rachel Wheeler Rossow.

A 1960 graduate of Salve's Nursing Department, Mrs. Rossow received the College Mirror and Citation from Alumni Association President Lillian Almeida commending her "living example of the College's aim to develop Christian men and women dedicated to the service of others."

With her husband Carl, Rachel's life revolves around a family of fourteen youngsters, eleven of whom have handicaps ranging from paralyzed limbs to being b o r n emotionally handicapped.

Together, the Rossows bring the "love and beauty out of suffering."

Santa Claus, everyone enjoyed the various cookies and pastries which were prepared by the members.

Pam Collins, President of the Spanish Club, and Ellen Hewitt, President of the French Club, did a fine job organizing the evening which was truly a success. Members of both clubs are also commended on their efforts which resulted in an enjoyable evening for all members of the community who attended.

Sr. Theresa McQueeney, Miss Marie Lacroix, Kathy Reed and Mrs. Pelletier should also be thanked for helping to prepare and coordinate the activities.

home, however, is not a typical household. The couple adopted their first multiple-handicapped child in 1971, a nd in 1974 formed a non-profit corporation, opening their home to more handicapped childr en.

Today, the Rossow children, of whom many were once institutionalized, receive parental Jove and specialized nursing care in the children's fa v o rite setting home!

Rachel Rossow graduated in 1960 from Salve 's Nursing program, and later earned an MSN in Ps ychiatr ic Mental- Health Nursing from Catholic University.

In 1977, as a further indication of her lifelong commitment to improving the quality of life for handicapped children, Mrs. Rossow participated as a delegate to the White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals. She also aided in the passage of Bill 504, which legislated rights of the handicapped.

During Reunion '80, Salve was pleased to host the Rossow family in Conley Hall. I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with the children, and I will always treasure that night as one of the most beautiful, rewarding experiences of my life.

The complexity, yet simplicity, of their lives made me more aware of the shortcomings of my own life. I also gained new respect for the handicapped as people in their own right.

It is clear to me, after seeing firsthand, the depth of the Rossow's love, that Rachel's work has, most assuredly, been outstanding!

He has worked for Gulf and Western (of Paramount Pictures fame) and American Brands.

Before coming to the Newport College, Pacheco taught at Rhode Island College, instructing finance and accounting classes. He also gave evening courses for five years at Bristol Community College, as well as adult tax courses sponsored by the New Bedford School Department.

When asked about the students at the Newport College, Pacheco said, "I am particularly impressed by their desire to Jearn and their active participation in class." Sitting in on a fundamental accounting course made it easy to see how he can make even debits and credits interesting.

The aim of the accounting program is to concentrate on training analysis managers rather than mechanics. As Mr. Pacheco so aptly put it, "An accountant can become a manager, but a manager cannot become an accountant."

Through s t u d e n t internship programs, Mr. Pacheco plans to prepare accounting majors for the job market. This semester, for example, the program already placed its first student into a full time position following graduation. "Many more positions are available," he states.

Marjorie received her B.S. from the State University of New York at Oneonta. She earned her Master of Social Services (M.S.S.) in social work and research from Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania.

Before coming to Salve, Ms. Roblin worked with the Episcopal Community Services as a social worker and therapist in Philadelphia prisons. In her teaching she draws often on these experiences.

A Tribute To John Lennon

by BRENDA RILEY On December 8, 1980, at approximately 11:00 p.m., former Beatie John Lennon was shot t hree times outside of his home in New York City. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Roosevelt Hospital.

It seemed as though the news sp read through the country like wildfire. Some students from Salve Regina heard of it one hour after he was pronounced dead.

H aving formerly worked for an international business corporation, she finds Salve a very personal, warm, cooperative, friendly atmosphere. She very much appreciates the location of the campus and has resolved to "take time to look at the ocean and see what God is saying to us in all that beauty."

Sounds like a good idea!

THE

The YorA Nativity Plag Entertains Large Audience

by BRENDA S. RILEY

One of the biggest ventures undertaken on campus this semester, "The York Nativity Play," was spectacular. Several groups participated, including the Newport College Theatre Company, the Newport College Singers, and the Newport College Dance Company.

The play is a medieval comedy written by church officials who thought that honest laughter was the way to celebrate Christ's birth. While rehearsals were held in the ballroom of Carey mansion, the actual performance took place in the Great Hall of Ochre Court.

While the players performed on the main floor, the Newport Singers sang fr~m the upper levels to

produce a "heavenly" effect. Their singing complimented the play beautifully. The cast had thirtytwo players.

The scenes ranged from the serious to the comical. One of the funniest scenes in the play was Herod's scene with Charles J. Ubaldi as Herod, Diane Martin as his wife, Noelle Leonard as his mother, and Keith Verbic as his son.

Featured were Selena Wilson, stage manager; Monique Lareau, angel; Brenda Riley, Mary; Doug Bowden, Joseph, and Jacqueline Byrne, Elizabeth.

The play was the gift of the Fine Arts Department to the community.

''Break A Leg" K2s, parkas, poles and gloves; these are some major elements in the sport of skiing. However, I can describe yet another equally important aspect of skiing. I will characterize, in three easy steps, the process of breaking one's leg when skiing.

The first step is preparing for

Alumni Giving Fund

by DEBORAH A. ELIASON The annual Alumni Giving Fund drive is currently underway for the 1980-81 season. Last year 521 alumni donated $11,162 to th e fund, an increase of 17 % over the 1978-79 drive.

This year's goal is to ra ise $25,000 and to increase the number of participating alumni. Sharon Caine '56, coordinator of alumni affairs noted, "This number, even more than t otal dollars donated is a critical factor affecting our a bility to generate gifts.

If we increase the number of alumni participating, we greatly increase the likelihood of receiving contributions from other funding sourc~s. especially corporations and foundations. " One factor which greatly contributed to the increased alumni participation in the drive was the "Alumni Phonathon, " held this past March. Through the efforts of dedicated students a nd alumni, over one thousand graduates were reached.

This year's phonathon is scheduled for March, 1981. Anyone interested in donating an hour or two to the cause may contact the Alumni Office for further information.

the sport itself. Another is choosing the most conducive atmosphere, and the las t is relishing the aftermath of the occasion.

Even though it sounds outrageous, those who have gone through the experience know that I speak some semblance of truth.

The first major step in the fragmentation of the leg is the process by which the individual must prepa re himself for skiing.

It is essential that he purchase over four hundred dollars worth of appropriate merchandise. Indeed, the first time runner must only wear the finest brand of skis !

His whole attire must be perfectly coordinated, or no harm will come t o him. His skis should be able to stand 6 to 10 inches above his h ead. The poles should

be within a comfortable height, and then finally, he must pay the exorbitant fee for a Down jacket with mittens to match. After all, the novice must project the image of the pro he is not. Hence, he is r eady to embark upon his enjoyable adventure.

The second fundamental step in fracturing the lower appendage involves choosing the proper atmosphere of danger. The wouldbe-victim must, in fact, have a daredevil attitude. It is this type who will go down a slope marked, "Death Row," (for experts only!) .

It helps, of course, if the run is icy and choppy. This enables the novice a greater opportunity to lose control of the frontal ski.

Moreover, he must have the chance of competing with those Continued on Page 6

SPORTS SCENE

Continued from Page 5 showofl' children who were born with skis attached to their feet.

To insure success, a final condition is to have the pine tree, that has existed since creation, decide it is going to transplant Itself into the individual's pathway just as he is looking downward, smugly congratulating himself on how well he is skiing. SMASH! The final step is relishing the aftermath of greeting an aged-old tree in a new manner. With face imprinted on its bark and one leg twisted in a gymnast's style, the novice is then, and only then, permitted to scream for help. Next, of course, after a quite decent twenty minute wait, the new champion masters the delicate art of face-flushing as the ski patrol attempts to sort out the puzzle of the individual's frame. To earn first prize, however, he must remain in a state of shock as the

Varsity Basketball

by SUSAN WILLIS By now, The Newport College men's and women's basketball teams had some taste of the 198081 season competition. Mr. Mike Chadwick, men's coach, is proud to announce that this season's captain is Lou Ramos of Hartford , Connecticut. The team has some new players who will be an asset on and off the court. Chadwick is pleased with the team's attitude of optimism and anxiety to do well. The highlight of the season will be on December 9 and 28 when the team hosts Anna Maria College at The Providence Civic Center. Spectator buses will be provided: This will be the first time that the team has competed there.

Anne DeLucia of Madison, Connecticut will captain the women's team under the fine coaching of Mr. Dave Poirier. Freshman player Lisa Buckingham commented, "I think we have a lot of potential, and I am looking forward to a good season. " The team is working hard and showing promising signs for a good season.

All home games are played at The Newport Boys' Club. Schedules are a vailable at Mercy Hall.

Good luck to the basketball teams.

men snap the leg back to Its original form.

After what seems five years of transportation downhill, the mangled but victorious master awaits his victory parade In the back of the red flashing ambulance. This is done with as much ease and caution as when one drops a hot plate. If by this time the champion has not uttered a moan or even a yell, he is a true fanatic, a ski addict.

Visitation privileges at the hospital are limited to friends and relatives. Instead, mere acquaintances and admirers, since they can't attend, may simply send money to cover the cost of damage.

Skiing can be the enjoyable sport man has created it to be.

But, too often, young novices attempt slopes that are beyond their ability. It is, indeed, very simple to break one's leg. As I have depicted above, it takes only three simple procedures.

by SUSAN WILLIS For the first time Salve had a women's club soccer team. A club team is just below the varsity level, but the Interest was so good that Mr. Paul Cardoza, athletic director, anticipates a varsity team ~r next fall.

The women quickly demonstrated fine performance against strong, experienced teams from Rhode Island College and Providence College. The most exciting game was played against The Newport Spinnakers In the pouring rain during Parents' Weekend.

Salve lost by a score of only 2-1.

The team boasts many good players who will hopefully play again next year. Thanks to captain Monica Provost for organlzing the team so well.
