Holy Land Slides Highlight Lecture On March 2, The Most Reverend Bishop Eid of Fall River addressed the student body. As an added feature to his lecture, His Excellency showed slides of the Holy Land. Bishop Eid pointed out special points of interest-the cave at Bethelem, Jericho, the Jordon, and Calvary-while showing the slides. His Excellency felt these slides would provide good background for Lenten meditation. While lecturing, he stressed his desire to build a church in his native Lebanon. Later in the year His Excellency would like to return to Salve Regina to celebrate a Mass in the Marionte Rite.

No One Is More Generous Than God: Trust Him As the calendar year is divided into four seasons; summer, fall winter ,1.nd sp~ing, so too is vhe Lirurg~cal_ year ?f the church. The most i~portam season 1s the Lemen season begrnnmg wich the ,penitent and humble symbol of ashes on Ash Wednesday and ending with the glorious choruses of Alleluia's on Easter Sunday. . As spring is a time for the rebi_r,th of nature, so too should Lent be a rebirth of our souls, through confession and frequent Holy Communion. As winter is a time of hibernation, so too .in Lent, we should withdraw from the wordly environment by frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament, silent reading and meditation, examination of conscience and evaluation of our moral Life. ' As summer is a time for aibsorbing the rays of the sun, so too in Lent sh?uld we abs?1::b . the numerous graces made attainable to us through daily Mass, recitation of the Rosary, ejaculations and Benedcition. As fall is a transition from summer to winter, so :t oo is Lent a transition from sin to Godliness, through charitable deeds. . During t~is season when we feel we are being too generous with our time and charitable deeds, we should remember the Holy Sacrifice on the Cross when Jesus Ghrist gave his life for us in order that we may attain Eternal Happiness.
Sputniks And More Sputniks Today's America is space conscious. All eyes are focused skyward searching for a glimpse of a few man-made moons. IID?1ediately following Russia's unexpected launching of Sputnik I, the Umted States became acutely aware of her shortcomings and her inferiority to the USSR in the field of ,scientific research. These synthetic moons had shocked the people of the free world out of their complacency. We were not the superiors. We had been outsmarted-by an enslaved people, ruled under a tyrannical iron hand and imprisoned behind an iron curtain. America's educational system has received the bulk of criticism as a result of_ ~purniks I and II. ~ome Amer.icans advocate a complete appraisal and rev1S1on of our educat10nal rprocess. They propose that science and more science be stressed in the schools. . 1!ndenia:bly? science should ,b e advocated to a greater extent, but a scientific education should not be stressed at the expense of the liberal and the fine arts. . S~c~ Russia fs superior to the United States technologically speaking, is Russia s educational system superior to that of the United States'? It cannot b:, for it is_ built on tyranny and atheism which is directly opposed to those ideal~ wh1eh we hold. For we have a belief in a Supreme Being w~ose power 1s greater ~han the Soviets can ever dream of attaining. It is th1_s Supreme Force wh1eh permits Sputnik, Explorer, and any other artificial moon to encircle the earth.
Women Vs. Facilities A recent Providence Sunday Jowrnal article stated that co-educational colleges are exceptionally over-crowded. Thousands of men and women are rejected every year because of this siruation. The solution presented was to "Keep Women Out of College." to let more men in. The article goes on to state that the reason most women go to college is to get a husband. That seems harsh, but we must face the facts. The ba:bies born during the Baby Boom around World War II are fast approaching college age. Today one must have a college degree in order w get a good job. Most women DO marry! These facts are not unrelated. Certainly we agree that women should not be stupid and we breathe a sigh of relief that it is only coeducational colleges which are being attacked. Yet someday, this may not be so. It is something to think about-and at the same time we might utter a prayer of thanks for the privilege which is ours, that of attending college. It is a privilege our great granddaughters may not enjoy.
Library Staff Increased Due to the growth of our library and an increase in library facilities, the College has recently added three new members to the library staff. Miss Jean Turner, who has previously done work at Yale University Library, aids students in the morning. In the evening Miss Juliet Luistro, head librarian at Peoples' Library, and Miss Victoria Patykewich, su!bstitute librarian at Peoples', are on duty. To these three, we extend a most sincere welcome.
S. R. C. Instructor
Nominee
Nomina,tions for anything bring much excitement and anticipation, and if one is fortunate, much pleasure. All three characterize Salve Regina-administration, faculty, students, and Sr. Mary Philomen. Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M., president, recently announced that Sr. Mary Philomen, R.S.M., has been nominated by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association as one of the nominees for an annual award to an outstanding chemistry teacher. Competent judges from throughout the United States will choose one of eight on April 6, to receive the award. Sr. Mary Philomen holds her Ed.B. from Cat>holic Teachers' College, her B.S. from Salve Regina College, and her M.S. from Catholic University. In 1950, Sister was appointed to the faculty at S. R. C.
where she teaches chemistry and mathematics. Formerly Sister tauaht b . ch em1stry at Saint Xa¡vier's Academy. Although comparatively few of us have had the opportunity of having Sister in class, all are well aw_a~~ of her excellent teaching abilmes. Many have been affiliated with Sister through her work in extra-curricula activities and we all owe much to her patience, understanding, and guidance. At present Sister is moderator of the Junior Class and was former advisor to the Class of 1958. Since its origin, Sister has done much to advance the activities and facilities of W.R. A. We feel confident that Sister will receive an award in April and extend to her our best wishes and sincerest congratulations!
Students, Sisters Attend Workshop On Teaching Math If any member of the student body had chanced to pass by the gymnasium on February 28, they probably had to look twice! On that particular day, the recently finished basketball court was transformed into an arithmetic workshop for the Religious teaching that subject in Newport. The six mathematics majors from the Junior and Senior classes of Salve Regina College were cordially invited to attend the morning session. Monsignor Geoghegan introduced Miss Sylvester, direotor of the workshop. In her lecture, Miss Sylvester stressed the need for a workshop of vhis type and also discussed some of the philosophical background pe1'taining to the teaching of arithmetic. She also made special note of the numerous colorful charts that had been placed along two walls of the gymnasium. Each one illustrated the particular phase of arivhmetic stressed in each grade, and ranged from the first to the eighth grades in that order. Mathematical game charts were also displayed. Following the introduotory lecture, the sisters set immediately to work either making original charts or reproducing those provided by Miss Sylvester. Since many of the mathematics majors are edurntion minors, they found vhis workshop most helpful because it suggested to them clever and original ways of presenting mathematics to grade school pupils.

All extend Nancy our sincerest congratulations and wish her continued success in the future.
Will It Affect Colleges? Recently in the news tl1ere have been two seemingly paradoxical problems-the threat of an economic repression and the amazing increase in collegiate population. If we had an economic repression, would there be such a great need for an increase in college facilities? Students themselves think not, although they agree that a college education is essential particularly for a male. They are puzzled as to who could possibly afford it. Students themselves could not work, because there is and would be a great scarcity of jobs. What jobs would be available would necessarily have to be given to men with families. Besides board, tuition, and genetal fees, spending money is a necessary evil. Few could continue in college w~thout it and if there were no jobs available, students could not possibly supply this wam. To keep pace with world powers, the United States needs competent educated people especially along scientific lines. Students feel a repression would necessarily affect the majority of students, but they believe this can be somewhat averted by continued government grants to education.
Bane Of Their Existence! To a girl in college, Mothers are confident, unexpected hostesses, and marvelous at solving problems, yet we are in one particular instance the bane of nheir existence--our hair causes them all sorts of perplexities. Why is it that when I visit my roommate's home, her mother tells me how lovely my hair looks and admonishes her daughter to follow my example? Ironically enough, she is the very girl whom my mother holds up to me. To me, this paradox is bewildering and our respective mothers although they both think they agree in so many ways, find it equally puzzling.

Book Reviews CALV ARY IN CHINA, by Robert W. Greene Few men can withstand pain, torture, and ignominy with supreme courage, an abundance of patience, and a humility for being allowed to suffer, but Father Greene is an unique man and did. CALVARY IN CHINA is a vivid, personal portrayal of a one man stand against the Communists. Father was left alone to face the absolutely barbarous treatment of the Chinese. Before public crowds, Father stood on -1:rial and submitted himself to the indignities of warped minds. Recently this book has been made into a movie and to those who saw the impelling picture, the autobiographical account of Father Greene's will bear greater emphasis and will carry his message more quickly to the hearts of his readers. A DISTANT DRUM, by Charles Bracelan Flood In his second novel, a top-flight Catholic author makes his cha:racters live-their lives and e:x;periences become the readers'. A DIST ANT DRUM is a realistic yet moving novel of the gradual approach to maturity of the son of a wealthy eastern family. Those who read LOVE IS A BRIDGE will welcome another, compact, impelling novel. HENRY C. WILKINSON
Hotel Bradford With Boston College To Host Congress Boston's Hotel Bradford will provide nhe site for the twelfth annual Congress of the National Federation of Catholic College Students of the New England region.

Many words have been spoken about today's college student. Some have ,been pro, some con. In a recent issue of Time magazine there was an article about ,the college student of today. Professors from various universities throughout the country submitted rtheir thoughts and ideas about this generation of college students. In many instances the professors were ,bewildered. Were their students dull and passive? Or were they more mature than their predecessors? Here is a uhumb-nail description of "a no-nonsense kid". He goes steady, marries early, and worships no idols. Gone are the days of heroworship. He conforms rather than appear ridiculous. He listens to concert music and takes part in student drama productions. Compared to his professors today's student is self-satisfied wir,h himself and not too sure about the world in which he lives. He looks seriously toward graduation day, bur this seriousness is devoid of the intellectual curiosity of former years. He is concerned about himself and his place in society, however as William Duren, Jr., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, says "They're ,good people, remarkably good morally and spiritually." What do you think?
