''Man On The Street'' by SUE COSTA Recently I have noticed that the mid-winter blahs have made their way to Newport. So, when I was confronted with the prospect of coming up with this month's question, I chose to relive some interesting moments with the hope of sparking a few funny bones. Everyone can relate to this question. We recently celebrated the first anniversary of the great blizzard of '78. What is your funniest recollection of the "snowy week"?
A, Trilla
B. Reismann
My first victim in this search for a laugh was resident Patrice Amendola. Her contribution: "My most memorable recollection was my car ride from Newport to New Haven, Conn. The driving ban was in effect, but my Nova and I decided to drive home anyway. The roads were totally deserted. I passed three state troopers and kept on going. One 'Smokey' flagged me down but I still kept on going. I'll never forget the roads and the shopping center parking lot monument that was later erected. A Hamden parking lot tarred over some stranded cars and that is a reminder of all the cars I passed along the way home." Junior Adele Trilla remembers as her funny blizzard incident "how my friends and I were chased by Ms. Hillman and one RA after stealing English muffins from the cafeteria."

J. Lisa
Freshman commuter Bob Reismann had a story similar to hundreds of others across the state. "At the time of the blizzard, I was stuck at the Newport Naval Base. Because of a 'Condition Red
Alert' I was unable to make it back home. My fiancee, who was at home at the time, was scared to death because she thought I would be unable to make it home for days. I spent almost all night trying to get dimes so I could call her on a pay phone just to reassure her, 'Don't worry, Honey. It's not over my head . . . yet!' On a wing and a prayer, I made it home the next day after walking nearly five miles from the Naval Base to my house in Middletown." Sue Powell experienced something that would make anyone chuckle. "My funniest recollection of that week was seeing my father watching soap operas." J o a n n e Lisa, a commuting sophomore, gave this reply to the "blizzard" question, "On Tuesday morning I had to walk around the block to get coffee because we had no electricity. What is normally a two minute walk ended up being a half hour, one way. It was impossible to walk; so I had to crawl on all fours. The funniest part, however, was when, crawling over a car, I slid down the front and got buried in the snow. I didn't really know what had happened and wondered when I

would stop sinking. It was quite a project getting out and I must have been quite a sight to see." Anne S h e e h a n had a very unique, if not funny, week. "Although the whole state was closed down, we had to go to school throughout the blizzard." Sophomore Kevin Gregory came through with a very popular recollection. He remembers "getting caught at Washington Square (a long walk from Founders Hall, last year's male durm) with a Nap buddy of mine and 4 cases of beer! It was a long walk, but we made it. I was glad we did until I found no heat or lights at Founders and about 50 other people s t r a n d e d there. Home Sweet Home! And what a celebration! We're something like the U.S. Mail. "Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail, could ever stop the Packy Mail!!"
Christian Life Series Enriches Community by JOANNE MAZNICKI The Christian Life Series here at Salve has been quite enriching for all who were able to take advantage of the opportunities. The first series continued on successive nights from Sunday, February 4, to Tuesday, February 6. Each of these nights was highlighted by special speakers, films, tapes and readings. In addition, the participants shared songs and friendship with each other. The first night definitely started the February series on the right foot with an extremely effective speaker, Rev. James Hawker. His openness and sincerity were well received by the
group. The second evening we were fortunate to have the sensitive and gentle Sister Maureen McElroy. She too touched the lives of all who attended. The first series came to a climax on the last evening with a specially prepared liturgy. Our celebrant was Fr. Gibson, who is the Naval Chaplain living on campus. On this concluding evening there was a special closeness and spark of joy being shared between both students and faculty that were present. The second event sponsored by the Christian Life Series was a series of retreat sessions for students in Ochre Court. These ses-
