Session Opens; Miss Colt in Residence

This summer Salve Regina College will sponsor its first Drama Workshop from June 27 to August 1 under the leadership of Ethel Barrymore Colt and Miss Joan David. The Workshop's curriculum includes three courses, no more than two of which may be taken by any student. Acting, to be taught by Miss Colt, will focus on techniques for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. Miss David will guide the Direction and Production cour;;e and also that concerned v .th Producing the School Play. The former will be geared towards both students and community theatre personnel. Lectures on the history and theories of direction will aid in the preparation of class projects. The latter course, which is tile only one to offer credit in Education as well as in Speech and Drama, was planned primarily for education students and for teachers. Any of the three courses may

be audited by those who wish to participate in the Workshop without college credit. Application of techniques learned will be made by means of the School's productions. The major project will involve the efforts of those enrolled. Among the plays being considered for this purpose are: The Mad Woman of Chaillot, The Chalk Gar· den, Dear Brutus, Bittersweet and The Old Maid. . Miss David also reported that the class studying the Production of the School Play will stage Laboratory programs using students from high schools in the area and possibly children in the Newport Project Head-Start as raw material.

/(;ate Delivers Valedictory Kathleen Dillon delivered the valedictory speech at the Class Day exercises on May 25, 1966. The following is the text of her valedictory address, which she entitled, "But Not To Yield " · Dear Graduates: Today we don for ~he first time the blue-and-white academic hoods of Salve Regina. At the end of this week we will take semester examinations for the last time. In two weeks we will assemble here once again to receive a blue folder containing a white piece of pa per-our college degree. An era of life ends at that moment; an epoch terminates as the arch of the future opens before our ken. The valedictorian can describe in sweeping tones the minute details of the upcoming ceremonies. She can retrace the

events and memories of the past four years in a class history. . Yet, wha~ she cann?t _accomphsh today ls the prediction of the years to come.

The student body elected Karen McCarty Student Council President after Karen and two other candidates for the office, Leslie Murtha and Kathleen Ryan, waged a three day campaign for votes that ended April 1, 1966. Among the other officers elected were: Adrienne Guilmette, vice-president; Donna Roberto, secretary, and Mary Dowd, treasurer. The officers-elect · will assume their duties in September, 1966, and will begin the trek toward fulfilling their campaign promises, and the obligations of their positions. During the time of the campaign which was designated for the candidates' presenting their platforms in formal speeches, the winning four said the following: Karen McCarty, President ... If I am elected president, you can be sure that you will have the student lounge open during the day to the day hops -and the commuters will be as much a part of the student body as is physically possible for a non-resident to be. I intend to d all in m power in allowing n~n-residenls to be eligible for the presidency of any club. This position has been ridiculously closed to them in the past and will not be if I am elected president. A system that was put into one. of the candidates' platforms last year and not carried out was the initiation of job placement bureau and graduate school. An information center will finally come into actual existence if you will elect me. for your' president. What I will do because of my affiliation and experience and contacts in the entertainment world, is to bring you the type of culture that you are interested in.. Jazz, the new blues, folk music and even rock and roll ... I intend to see that not only Catholic, but Jewish, Protestant, atheist speakers will address the student body. . In concl~siolf, when you elect me as president of your student council, I will see to it, you can be sure, that all of these promises will not disappear with campaign posters, but will be an active, and effective reality next year. .

In June he will receive a licentiate in Philosophy from the pontifical faculty of Weston College, Jesuit House of Studies in New England, which will enable him to teach Philosophy while he is studying. ' Since an ecclesiastical degree such as this commands a high amount of respect in Europe, this will further expedite his doctorate there. Mr. Corrigan plans to continue teaching Philosophy after receiving his degree, but he will specialize in philosophical theology. He feels that theology (Continued on Page 3)

At this time of year, masses of students flock to classrooms and gyms to culminate a semester of intense brain warfare .b y staging a front line attack on final exams. For a few the struggle is invigorating; for some it is morosely challenging; for most it is staggering, bewildering, yet enli'ghtening. No doulbt, the condensation and absorbtion of class material afford the studying student a panoramic view of semester stock; no doubt, the panoramic view serves to ease the student into an anxiety free pursuit of the following term's study. But how much of the intellectual intake resulting from the exam period, and the preparation for major tests and papers, is marred by excess tension, and stereotyped study? Often an otherwise enjoyaJble and prorfitaJble course unfolds as an excruciatingly painf.ul experience The efforts of the class of 1969 in the production of a literdue to the insurmountable workload with which it is pre- ary magazine, The Cygnet, are of noteworthy significance. The sented. new magazine was compiled from representative works of the

A Literary Cult

Ho._wever, who would not argue that a course's workload is very often the source of the learners' discipline, understanding, and consequent knowledge; that the evaluation of papers, tests, exams, and students is necessary in determining whether or not a student is worthy of obtaining a degre.e, a pooition, or an entrance into graduate school? Yet, who would not argue, too, .that a course in which students merely read, discuss, reread, and re-discuss, minus the pressure of tests and papers might provide the basis for satisfying, creative, intellectual exertion? It seems almoot bold, unrealistic, and radical to propose that all courses be taught under the latter methoa -void of written activity that would yield certain grades; but it seems exciting, rational, and innovating to propose that at least one course a semester-other than a major seminar---lbe .t aught in this way. The sub~ ject of the course could be:

1) Psychology studied in the l~ght of literary characters whose motivations and struggles realistically depict the plight or redemption of modern man. 2) Theology which considers major Catholic theo.Jogical dilemmas in relation to leading Protestant, Je~ish, Agnostic, or Atheistic thought.

PoJi.tical Thought which considers the development of an American Crisis (for instance, the Vietnam War), and the consequences of possilble courses of action. 3)

Needless to say a wid'e r range of courses than mentioned here is possiible; needles~ to say, also, there have been semi-courses such as Campus Critique, and full courses such as last year's Current History taught by Sister Mary Harold and this year's Oriental Literature taught by Sister Mary Jean , which have followed the proposed plan somewhat. But could this proposed course be taught specifi·cally as a full-time class, specifically wit'hout tests, papers, or exams, and epecially in relation to some current problem or trend of thought. It does not seem overly scientific to say that such a course would be an experiment. It would be an experiment because :

All competition would be eliminated from the class; thus grading would be eliminated. Credit hours could not be gi.ven, as such, but the records of the student taking the course would specify the nature of the class and the fact thJl,t the student had participated in it. 1)

2) Students taking the course could be questioned at its termination and indicate whether or not such a class increased thE!ir motivation, and contributed considerably to their education. Naturally, to repeat, the topic of the course would have to be vitally interesting; the student would have to be eagerly willing, and the teacher, enthusiastically capable. Res·p onsibility and regard for learning would and should be the qualities of the students taking such a course; stimulation and enlightenment would and should be the results. Granted this innovation would be a risk. But if this risk might encourage learning for learning's sake, it would probalbly be very well worth the effort.

Freshman English classes under the diredtion of Sister Mary Loretto and Miss Mary Zavada with Megan Daly as editor. The publication is unique in that it holds distinction in being the first attempt to establish a literary magazine at the College. It includes a variety of material ranging from book reviews, short stories, essays, cinquain, and selections from the freshman scrip· ture journals. These represent the type of material the Freshman English classes have been working on this year. Life, love, bwth, sunsets and God are the subject matter of some of the short poems called · cinquains which appear in the magazine. A review by Jane Thibault of Henry Cox's Secular City represents an encounter with a controversial book. Miss Thibault advises that "discrimination be the guiding principle in the search for the good" when reading the book. Two short stories, "The Salturday at the Lake" and a "Memory," deal with a child's encounter with death. ''Rejection" and "The Power of Words" are two more 'Short stories which deal with the theme of alienation of both the young and the old. In a w:itty essay by Megan Daly, she discusses "camp in America," and concludes "Whp knows? Someday instead of big league baseball there a huge statue of Barbara Fritchie as first prize." Rather than limiting and ·selecting materials from class asmay be camp ttournaments in places like Upper Darby ... w:ith signments, the staff hopes to expand next year's publication by inviting all students of the College to contribute the·i r creative endeavors. Not limiting the material to specilfically assigned topics would allow for a greater variety of subject matter and perhaps heighten originality.

Dear Editor, As freshmen about to become sophomores, we would like to offer some suggestions to help ease the adjustment period of the incoming freshmen. We like Salve; we chose it because we wanted to come here. Yet we were disappointed in some areas. These are the areas in which we are seeking the help of the entire student body. Upon entering Salve, we en· countered bewilderment, unfriendliness, and apparent indifference. Through some upperclassmen these barriers were lowered, but there is still room for improvement. We would like to increase this spirit of love and friendliness so that the incoming freshmen will not be disappointed in Salve Regina College. We suggest that Junior Big Sisters know in advance who their Little Sisters are and that they are picked by areas. This way they may correspond with them during the summer months. Perhaps if Big Sisters were on a voluntary basis it would better serve its purpose. Some freshmen on campus have not yet met their Big Sisters. How have they .helped their Little Sisters? We can do so much if you help us. Won't you please swead the love you have and SMILE because YOU GO TO SALVE!! Sincerely, The Commuters Sodality Rena Patry Carol Proulx Helen Hefko Maureen Krauzyk Editor: What makes a gentleman? He possesses a certain charm, a respect for himself and others, and an appropriateness for any occasion. His manners are his natural behavior and not an attempt to impress. The criteria for judgment should be based on his character not his clothes. A jacket and tie do not make a gentleman. Anyone can hide behind this appearance. This does not mean that a gentleman dresses as a slob. Quite the contrary, he dresses according to the occasion and his individual taste. For a formal he wears a tuxedo, for a dance he wears a jacket and tie, and for a picnic or a day at the beach he might wear bermuda shorts. Not every event demands the traditional jacket and tie. At times casual dress is not only practical but correct. Recently a notice was read to the Freshman class that any boy arriving for a date dressed in bermuda shorts would not be allowed to use the main entrance. Even with warm weather and numerous Newport beaches, is this college going to demand that our date appear incorrectly and awkwardly dressed in the so-called "correct attire?" Aside from this policy being impractical, it is also rude. Even th·ough the administration can regulate to some extent, our appearance, where does it assume the right to inform our guests and dates how to dress? If our fathers arrived on a sunny day in bermuda shorts to visit us, would they be asked to leave the main lobby? A lady would accept a friend into her home regardless of his clothes. A friend would be welcomed and not embar(Continued on Page 3)

When the atomic bomb was finally perfected, it exploded torrents of controversy over how, when and whether it should have been used; when LSD was introduced a generation later, the same downpour of debate was released. Known scientifically as d-lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD has escaped the confines of the laboratory door, and is slowly becoming a trap in itself. Said to heighten perception and enhance creativity, the drug also catipults its devotees into brutally dissonant revelations about themselves and their environment. Within an agonizingly slow passage of time, d-lysergic acid diethylamide provides its users with a Leap into Severe Distortion. Though the Food and Drug Administration now plans to inflict a rigid penalty upon those supplying the fountain of wealth for acid-heads (LSD users), the cult of those who freak and fly has yet to be stymied. The recent withdrawal of all laboratory supplies of the acid by its major distributor has served to increase the bootlegging of the

drug ond offinn "'

tionn as a forbidden messenger of the "kick." Notably, it has become the muse of the creative, and the Socrates of the college student. Not habit forming, LSD, nevertheless, has the potential to storm its user's brain so potently that he can return from his trip with hazardous side effects. As often as it is invigorating, it is suffocating, and a "journeyer" whose personality is unstable might very well topple psychically af. ter his re-entry.

the adherent to LSD flights walks cloaked in awesome mystery. For this writer, the cloak was partially unveiled by a twentyyear-old college student who openly discussed the malignant 1 revelations he suffered while under the effects of the acid.

Laffs Rock; Funds Roll In I

By DIANNE FITCH on April 28, the Lay Apostolate Finance Fund (LAFF) presented entertainment that could probably surpass any of Murray the K's spectaculars. Emceed by Sister Wilhemina the program opened with he; comical monologue supported by a musical background of the LAFF . staff conducted by Sister Mary Brenda. Under the baton of Marcia Marra, a soda bottle orchestra, better known as the Miley Tabernacle Choir, bubbled their way ·through Do, Re Mi. Dorsey Rottman followed, under a roguish guise, singing Leaning on the Lampost. If no one had ever thought of it before, they saw it that night: four sets of the Rare Breed turned out to be the twins on campus, faculty included,: Ann and Cathy Dolan, Jeanne and Jeannine Heneault, Margie and Carole Marra, Sister Mary Jean and Sister Mary Eloise.

When Cynthia Franco finished belting out Summertime, the audience was left without a doubt as to her favorite season. (Maybe if Cynthia grew a nose, we could pass her off as Barbra Streisand.) As the next act appeared, a slight murmur arose - could this be an eligible bachelor on our campus? Well, we should have known that the handsome guitarist was Father Pendergast of Sacred Heart Parish, Watertown, Mass., who offered a lively guitar repertoire and singalong. The high spot of the evening was perhaps the Mamas and the Papas-Anne Lancellotti carried the tune, while Margie Duesing slinked around and beat on her skinny bongo.

(Who says we only get the Catholic viewpoint?) College Cup was the final act contributed by St. Joe's seniors with Donna Hackman as moderator. The contest was between the racy "in-crowd large university" and the studious "outcrowd small college." It was a toss-up until the final question was thrown out: Who was the outstanding figure of the 1965 semester examination. The out crowd answered "Sister Brenda" and the audience moaned with disbelief at such a ridiculous answer; everyone in the "incrowd" knew that it was "Sister MARY Brenda." The evening's entertainment ended with the Last Ha-Ha, joined in by the audience singing, When you're LAFFing,

As the Reels Roll . ..

Corrigan, Lee Debate Delaney By NANCY LEE Shelagh Delaney is a most disillusioned young author. The world w hich she depicts is one of struggle against overwhelming odds, a world in which a British schoolgirl can get "A Taste of Honey" but no more. It is that one taste which emphasizes so poignantly the bitterness of the remainder of the girl's life. There are moments of light and beauty in Jo's life, but they do not serve to illumine her existence; they merely increase the bitterness of the majority of her ·experiences. Rejected by her mother, she turns to a young Negro sailor for the love she has never had. For a· moment the joy of life overtakes her. The camera follows their love affair and the girl seems to have found that for which she is confusedly searching. But th~ sailor leaves and she has become pregnant. Finally, completely deserted by her mother, she takes a job in a shoe store and an apartment in a garret. Then she meets Jeffrey, a young homosexual who moves in with her. Jeffery sets about creating a home for the two of them in the midst of the slums. He decorates the apartment, offers her a true friendship and even gets her to accept the baby she is about to have. Jeffery becomes more of a man through his association with Jo, and she begins to experience a way of living that s~e had never known before. But just at this point, dear mother returns, after having been thrown out of her bus-

The young girl, about to bear her child, rejects Jeffery and turns to the false As the love of her mother. movie closes, Jeffery walks quietly away and Jo stands staring at a sparkler handed to her by one of the neighborhood children. The movie viewer never learns Jo's final fate, but it is rather easy to surmise: she will live the same tawdry existence that her mother has lived, burdened with an unwanted child and with only a few memories of what might have been. As Jeffery walks away, the same music plays that we heard when the Negro sailor left, a deceptively simple child's jingle, "The good ship sails at the early early oh." The images constantly repeated throughout the film are those of parting, of saying

THE GROUP EN MASSE

Film Progresses; Group Regresses If the members of Mary McCarthy's group had played hopscotch in their childhood, they probably would have hired professional riveters to permanently encrust their blocks on the sidewalk, used pearls for lucky charms, and published the winner's name in the society section of the New York Tinles. However, in the film version of The Group, we see the eight Vassar · graduates not in their childhood, but in the infancy of their adulthood. Ironically, their adulthood is marked by spasmodic progressions of vicious encounters which led most of them from sexual, emotional, and social immaturity to a final burial amid the remnants of their efforts to transpose their immaturity into womanliness.

good-by. The song of the children symbolizes the entire theme; happiness is fleeting, moments of love come only occasionally, imd really life isn't worth too much. Jo can't even care very much when the sailor From the beginning of the leaves, or when Jeffery makes his exit.

If it is so that Mary McCarthy intended all of her ·characters to have been collegiate homosexuals (she was quoted as having verified this fact) then some of the film's incongruities focus, in retrospect, to form incidents of insights. F or, in the light of this fact, one can understand Dottie's childish delight in finding herself pleasing to the "Dick" of her love affair; and Libby's virginity is understood as a facet of her life which was due not to her moral assessment, but to her emotional imbalance. Considering then, the group's common deviation, it is obvious why Lakey exerted such a diabolical influence over her seven. She was the one on whom this immaturity gained the most drastic hold, and for whom the Group had the most meaning. Though humor penetrated even the most depressing scenes of the movie, the hidden ignominity of much of the dialogue marked The Group as an ironic, subtly sad film . As Helena often said, "Who'd a thunk it." Who would have thought that seven of the eight promisii}g Vassarites would regress, rather than progress, and decline rather than develop. If the scenes were gaudily superficial, it's because the lives depicted were so. If the ending was colorfully depressing, so were the lives of the group. Sydney Lumet, the sensitive director who created the atmosphere of drab death in the television production of The Ice Man Cometh, created the same drabnesswithin a framework of gay excitement-in the The Group. He allowed Mary McCarthy's girls to fail brilliantly, just as she had int~nded . -A. L .

Gle~e Clubs Co,m pareNoles The Great Hall of Ochre Court *as filled to capacity on Saturday, April twenty-third. The occasion was the presentation of Franz Joseph Haydn's "The Creation" by the Salve Regina College Glee Club and the Glee Club of Iona College, New Rochelle, New York. Guest soloists were: Nancy Hallas, soprano; John Bezubka, bass; and Austin Hentershee, tenor. Accompaniment was provided by Sister Mary Rosina, R.S.M., at the piano and James Bennett at the organ. Marian W. Van Slyke conducted the two clubs. The listeners were greatly impressed by the beauty of Haydn's composition and the skill with which it was presented. The audience sat silently throughout the ninety minute concert and gave the performers a well-deserved ovation. The critical reaction was as enthusiastic as that of the general audience. The Providence Sunday Journal had this to say about Haydn's oratorio: "The sentiment is sensitive yet not bombastic, religiously direct, without the pall of stainedglass churchiness. It speaks in terms of Genesis, not heavily but frotn a viewp?int of the En-

lightenment, addressing itself to every form created in the first seven days, as exemplified in 'Ye plants, exhale, ye flowers, breathe.' " Of the choruses, the Journal remarked that " .. . to sing a work of this kind with the amount of elan they demonstrated is quite an accomplishment .. .'' The Newport Daily News congratulated -the two clubs, commenting that "the performance was more creditable when it is remembered that their only full rehearsals together were Friday and Saturday before the concert . . .'' The News was mistaken, however, for the Qnly full rehearsal was Friday night, which makes the performance even more commendable. Both newspapers complimented the soloists on their fine work. Since Salve's concert with Fordham University, the Glee Club has received invitations for concerts from many other colleges, for instance: Saint Michael's College, Vermont; St. John's University, Long Island, New York; St. Francis College, Maine, and Villanova University, Pennsylvania. ' The plans of the Glee Club for the coming year are, . however, indefinite.

By DIANE MAZZARI all started on what I thought would be a typically peaceful Easter Sunday in my home-garage of Bermuda. I was contemplating the meaning of the rain that was falling un seasonably. You know, in Bermuda we are known (and quite prominently, at that) for our sun, surf, swizzles and sand, and the heavy torrent of rain that was falling in bales could mean only one thing-something unusual was going to happen. I could feel it in my wheel spokes. Then from the gray skies, I heard the ominous drone of a Pan Am jet. Holy Handlebars! It was that time of year again. It seemed as though it had all just ended but a few weeks ago. Nope. My gas tank and I had to face facts. Bermuda's College Week for 1966 was about Ito begin. Within the hour the invasion was in full swing. A13 the coed Air Force invaded Eve's Bike and Cycle Shop (my happy home - I come from quite a large family), I tried to hide myself in a corner under a pile of baskets.
