New Dean Initiates College Programs SR. PATRICIA FRANCIS SEWARD

" Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true ." This en­thusiastic, ambitious quote , h anging over the desk of Sr. Pa tricia Francis Seward, happens to be the personal philosophy of the new Dean of Con­tinuing Education and Director of Summer Sessions. Sister comes to her new post at Emmanuel from Ball State University in Muncie , Indiana , where she received her Ph .D . in His­tory in August, 1973 .

Sister' s doctorate is the " tempo ­rary" end of a long line of academic experiences, including 17 years of adult education and six years with Emmanuel's past summer program . She views her las t academic venture as temporary in that she feels educa-tion is a con tinuaiiy growing and changing sys tem of learning.

Th e new Continuing Education program, to open in the Fall , was de­signed for those adults who wish to update their education . The program has a tri -Ievel function : applican ts

may take courses for credit, for ful­fillment of requirements in the job market or for personal enrichment. Classes will be offered in regular day sessions and in the late afternoon and evening .

In addition to initiating the Con­tinuing Education program, " Dr. Seward," as she's often called, has restructured the past Summer Ses­sion program. The new program in­cludes two sessions permitting at­tainment of eight credits, and in­cludes 60 courses in 20 d isciplines.

Moments after arriving , Sister began working on the programs, set­ting up courses, and announcing program arrivals . Thus far, 2000 fliers have been distributed to high schools, colleges, banks, businesses and inquiring individuals, and ad ­vertisements placed in local news­papers .

Sis ter has also, since her arrival , begun ano ther endeavor - a Work ­shop for the " Special-Needs Chil­dren in the Regular Classroom," to . be held April 26-28, at Emmanuel. This w eekend insti tute will offer as-

Constituents Elect College Council

By Helen Desmond

An election of six administrators, six fac ulty members and six students wi ll be held th is month for Emmanuel's newly organized Col­lege Council. The combined ef­forts of these three groups will at­tempt to "improve communication between the constituencies of the College, and assure representative participation in the formulation and application of policies and decisions that concern the College ."

The constitution was drawn up by a steering committee of 15 members from the three constituencies . Rep­resenting the students were : Virginia Biscoe, Gail McCarthy, Anne Marie Martineau, Anne Marie Skowron and Mary Watson . Faculty members in­cluded : Sr . Anne Cyril Delaney , Rev. F . Donald Logan , Dr. Christiane Romero, Sr. Flavia Caliri and Miss Marie D . Natoli . Administration rep ­resentatives were : Sr. Grace Ayers, Sr . Mary Teresa Kelleher, Miss Rose M . Mullin , Dr. John E. O 'Loughlin and Sr . Ann Rachel Sharry .

The College foru ms granted the opportunity to raise questions con ­cern in g such terms as " decision­m ak in g p ower" and "ad visory power" referred to in the consti tu -

tion. Members of the panel explained that although the Council has the power to make decisions in the de­velop ment of policies concern in g academi c affairs, admissions, and campus life, anythin g in i tiated by the Council must then go to the President for fin al approval.

The College Council has advisory power in such matters as budget, de­velopment, administrative search committees, and the setting of college priori ties ; however, the final power, Dr . O'Loughlin stated, " does rest w ith the Trustees ." Other articles contained in the cons ti tution concern session s and meetings , commi ttees , o ffi cers and duties , amendments, and by -laws .

The term of office for faculty and administrators on the Council will be two years. Since the composition of the student body changes signifi ­cantly each year, the term of office for student members is one year . The College Council is to meet once a month during the academic year, and all meetings will be open to the com­munity except when an executive meeting is called . The College Coun­cil is to submit an annual report to the College community.

sistance with classroom strategies for teaching emotionally, physically , men tally and academically handi­cap ped children. Faculty members and consultan ts from the fields of law, government, and health will focus on behavior management, in­dividualized instruction , learning disabilities and the ramifications of " 766," a state law going into effect in September, which calls for the inte­gration of special children in the

fl

normal classroom. environment. "The 766 law will challenge most

teachers because only a small percen­tage have had the benefits of Special Education training," Sr. Patricia Francis said . "The Institute will help them cope with a new classroom situ­ation by giving them guidelines as to their new obligations, what to expect from state health officials, and how to deal, with help, outside the class­room, " she concluded.

AND SHE ARRIVED IN A VOLKSWAGEN - One answer given by the students to the energy crisis was to vacate Julie Hall and move to St. Joseph's, Loretto or St. Ann's where space was available for second semester residence. Reluctant as they were to leave Julie, where they had formed an enthusiastic, responsive community, the students recognized that the world situation is a campus reality. The move was accomplished by January 28. It's amazing how much you can accumulate in four months.

Can't Fuel All the People All the Time

" In light of" the energy crisis, the Emmanuel College calendar was re­vised for the second semester. On November 30, 1973, Sr. Marie Barry, President, announced that the second semester will begin one week later than originally scheduled . The post­ponement of instruction for one week

w ill be made up in th is manner : President's Day, scheduled for

February 19, w as cancelled . Classes will be held on May 9 and

May 10; these days were origin ally scheduled as reading days.

The Regis tration program for 1974 will be shortened to save two days.

Mary Reardon: Mosaic Master Diagnosed Yo ur Career Problems?

Medical Technology By Michelle Demers

The Summer of '72 marked th e beginning of it all .. . an idea that grew into a concept that burs t into

t reality, breaking a 54-year-old tradi ­tion of liberal arts in i ts s tric tes t sense ... the introduction of the Medical Techno logy program a t Emmanuel. Dr. Don ald Procaccin i, Chairman of the Biology Dep art­ment, p resen ted the program pro­posal to D r. C. G . Hori, Chief Pa th ologis t and Director of th e Sc hool of Med ical Technology at Cambridge Hospital, and the idea of initiati n g a Me d ical Tech nology program at Emmanuel immed ia tely caught fire.

The program went through a year of inten sive developm en t b efore being implemen ted into the Em ­man uel curriculum th is fa ll . " The program really packs five years of s tudy into fo ur," said Dr. Procac­cini. "It consists of three years of concentrated s tudy in Biology, and a fo urth 52-week year in ternsh ip a t th e Cambrid ge Hosp ital. The par ­ticipating students gradua te wi th their own class, then take an exam three months later for certification in the American Society of Cl in ical Pathologis ts (ASCP)," he said .

CREATING "CREATION" - Mary Reardon, former faculty member, puts the finishing touches on the full-size color cartoon used in the design of one of the mosaics for the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washing­ton, D.C. The two domed ceilings each measure 84 by 30 feet, and were made of colored glass and baked gold.

Once certified, a m edica l tech ­nologist can look forward to a s tart­ing salary of $8 or $9 thousand ; ex­perienced M.T.'s b ri ng h ome as much as $14 thousand. More attrac­tive still is the growing demand for th is particular paramedical profes­sion. Nationally today, there are ap ­proxim ately 1,UUU jobs open tor cer­tified medical technologis ts.

The advantages of this particular program are many. It is a field in which women, in particular, have a great opportunity for advancement, a field not demanding the long -term commitment of medical school. In addition, medical technologists play a role which is not only valuable , but necessary to doctors and nurses .

On Saturday, November 3 , Sr . Marie Barry, President, and Sr. Vin ­cent de Paul Curran, Chairman of the Art Department, were among the in­vited guests a t the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. , blessing of the two great ceiling mosaics , " Creation" and " The Last Judgement," designed by former faculty member, Mary A . Reardon . They also attended the re­ception which followed the ceremony in honor of Miss Reardon .

Miss Reardon had been a member of the Emmanuel College Art De­partment for many years when she resigned to accept the commission, which took three years to complete . She was assis ted in the studio work by six assistants , five of whom were Emmanuel College Art Department graduates . According to Sr. Marie ,

part of Mary Rea rdon's artis try is her ability to inspire her students to share in and follow in her achievements . . " As one of the young ass istants said to me," Sr. Marie said , " 'You cannot believe what it has meant to have had a share in creating such beauty.' "

New Course Saluted Emmanuel College has announced

a program in Early Family and Childhood Intervention, initiated in collaboration with the Department of Child Psychiatry at Tufts New Eng­land Medical Center.

While fulfilling academic require­ments at Emma nuel in Biology, Sociology, and Psychology, each stu­dent will follow a family from the last four months of pregnancy up to the child ' s second birthday, making weekly visits to the homes . The stu­dents will be provided valuable clini­cal experience, plus weekly consulta­tions with Tufts psychiatrists, psychologists and pediatricians .

Two degree programs are availa­ble : Social Work Associate Degree Program, specially designed to pre­pare students for careers in health re­lated field s such as Child Care Work-ers or Mental Health Workers , and Bachelor Degree Program with career alternatives in nursing, social work, reh abilita tion , mental health and community medical programs.

The program was planned and de­Signed b y Emma nuel 's Dr . John O ' Loughlin , Executi ve Vice­President; Dr. Donald Procaccini , Chairman of the Biology Department; and Mr . Dennis Farrell , Director of Admiss ions, in coopera tion with Dr. Shera Samaraweera and Mrs. Claire Cath of Tufts .

Jean McCarthy , Educational Coordinator and Supervisor of the Medical Technology Program at Cam bridge Hospital, said : " The students learn a tremendous amount in one year. They are taught, beyond mastering course material, to be very .analytical. In certain cases, medical technologists are asked to advise the physician on what to prescribe . Their interpreta­tions could often mean a patient's life . Therefore, keen, efficient clini­cal judgement is necessary ."

The young supervisor, herself a graduate student at Northeastern, said that , since the students need a close student-teacher relationship, the class is limited to about ten stu­dents . Each day they come in, draw blood from the patients and go to work in the various laboratories , working on a one-to-one basis with

a techn ician . The labs include such areas as bacteriology, hematology, clin ica l chemis try, blood banks, and urinalYSis. The time spent in each is direc tly re la ted to i t s imp ort ­ance, Miss McCarthy explained .

On Th ursdays, the students a t­tend lectures intended to tie every­th ing together. " These lec tures," Miss McCarthy said, " provide th e s tud ents wi th th e k now-how o n conductin g and evaluating the tes ts to see if they give true res ults . In es­sence, this is w here they learn the h ow's and why's of b eing ' b od y mechanics,' " she said .

Ann Cataldo and Peggy McBride ('74) are the first Emman uel students to participate in the program. While their normal day officially begins at 7:00 a.m. , the alarm goes off a t 5:45 a.m ., to assure promp tness -and breakfas t!

Daily, they draw blood from pa­tients for analysis . N ormally, th is p roced ure is as rou tine as usin g table salt but, on a few occasions, the process is su rrounded by un­usual circumstances. One of Peggy's patien ts was a multiple stab victim , wi th wounds received durin g the recen t uprisings at Roosevelt Tow­ers . (Ed. Note: Th e patient m u s t have broken out in h ives at the sight of tha t need le and the thought of another puncture .)

In add ition to working five days a week (and six every third week), the stu den ts m ust keep up with th e ir course work. They are required to read protessional JournalS, give oral talks, attend profess ional lectures and do extensive reading of medical text materials . They must also, on their own, complete a course in Sys­tems PhYSiology to meet Emmanuel requirements.

It was recently announced that a similar Medical Technology program has been initiated with the Newton-Wellesley, School of Medical Technology. The new program, to commence on Sep­tember I, 1974, will be im­plemented through the com­bined efforts of Dr. Donald Pro­caccini , Chairman of the Biology Department and Special Assis­tant to the Emmanuel College President for Academic Pro­grams, and Dr . Arthur O 'Dea, Chief Pathologist at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control ...

In mos t academic circles, a month lasts anywhere from 28 to 31 days . When we announced in our mast­head in November that the Emman­uel College News was to be pub­lished monthly we were unprepared for the energy crisis (and, therefore, rescheduling of second semester), or the paper and print shortage . The editorial staff does wish to assure you that, contrary to popular belief, our friend Webster did not leave the word "deadline" out of his collegiate dic­tionary . We hope to complete the academic calendar with a monthly publication, barring, of course, any unforeseen calamity.

Alumnae Around the World

Ode to a Grecian Yearn Alumnae Fund Filling the Till By Susan McDonough

Ed. Note: Susan Martin McDonough ('69) responded to our request for arti­cles from alumnae living abroad with a personal account of a sailing trip to the Greek Islands. Mrs. McDonough, a na­tive of Lexington, Massachusetts, ma­jored in Russian and minored in French and German at Emmanuel. After gradu­ation, she was employed by the govern­ment as a computer programmer. In 1972, she and her husband Marty were sent to Southern Germany at the foot of the Alps, near the intersection of Aus­tria, Italy and Germany.

One of our wildest adventures to date was a vacation cruise to the Greek Islands, aboard a chartered 31-foot French Arpege. Marty and I were the first crew members to fly to Athens, and were assigned the task of buying supplies for six people for two weeks. The groceries, when added to sleeping bags and back packs, were the cause of many a scene on Athe­nian streets. We were afraid it would get crowded, but the boat was a mar­vel of space utilization .

We set sail the next day around noon, on what was planned as a three-hour sail to Hydra, the first is­land. But, our friend "Captain" Royce misread the chart and, with wind and sea against us, we didn't set anchor again until 10:00 p .m.

Our first weekend out was Greek Orthodox Easter, spent exploring the island and sharing dinner with a Greek family we met. After a full meal of lamb, cheese, salad and many toasts with raki (local wine), a dizzy crew set sail for Serifos.

On this 50-mile sail, we were com­pletely out of sight of land. But, the endless seas didn't bother such "ex­perienced" sailors.

At Sifnos, our next island, actually a three-family village, we watched while one of the men transformed a lump of clay into a lovely wine jar . We broke out the Ouzo, abetting the con­versation in Greek, German, English and sign language.

The seas got a little rough due to the meltemi (spring wind). We battled 10-foot waves and 40-mile-an-hour winds all the way to Paros. One ex­perience changing sails while har­nessed to the rigging of a wildly bob­bing boat is enough to last a lifetime.

We spent a couple days on our favor­ite island climbing hills, shopping and lying on the beach. The icy water prohibited swimming for all but the dolphins, which escorted us out through the rocks and much of the way to our next port.

Siros was somewhat nondescript except for the party we joined, com­plete with bouzouki (Greek guitar) players, at a cafe . They plied us with food, drink and questions about America. We even tried our hands (and feet) at Greek dancing, which proved to be very strenuous exercise.

When we anchored at Kitnos, we were met by a local goat herder who insisted we try our luck at milking his herd . Only one crew member was successful but, our efforts were re­warded with the dubious treat of warm goats' milk.

Greek food was discouraging. The national meal seems to be octopus and squid. (One breakfast of fried fish, squid, salad, bread and beer is enough to make anyone seasick.) Even when we could get lamb, chick­en or steak, it was never enough to fill us; we'd surprise everyone by order­ing again - two and three times. The best meal, souvlaki, wasn't always available, so, Greek bread and cookies sustained us through many a hungry hour.

Mykonos and Delos were the last islands on our schedule. Mykonos could have been any seaside town and just lacked the "Greekness" we enjoyed elsewhere. Delos is a reli­gious island, now under restoration. We spent a good day scrambling rocks and pillars, imagining the bustling city it must have been.

Finally, we headed back to the mainland, anchoring in Sounion, which boasts the Temple of Poseidon . There, after careful explo­ration, we found Lord Byron's signa­ture carved in the stone.

In heading for Athens, we again hit waves and wind, struggling through six miles of coastline in nine hours before giving up for the night. We headed for the city after finally slip­ping into port. We found the Ac­ropolis to be much bigger than im­agined, actually littered with temples to forgptten victories, and the city to be an odd combination of ancient al­leyways and modern high rises.

We were sad to leave sea and sun . But , returning to Bavaria was a delightful way to end a vacation.

Alumnae Admissions Search for Tomorrow

Alumnae of Emmanuel College re­sponded enthusiastically to the Ad­missions Office request to submit names of potential candidates for admission. In effort to attract new students to Emmanuel, alumnae supplied over 200 names of relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Each girl received a personal letter from Dennis Farrell, Director of Ad­missions, as well as pamphlets de­scribing the opportunities available to Emmanuel students .

"If every alumna could supply us with one name," Mr. Farrell said, "we would have a list of over 7500 potential candidates for admission. I thank all the alumnae who did re­spond and encourage more alumnae to take a part in shaping the future of Emmanuel's student body ."

News Notes : Emmanuel College has changed its

policy in regard to weddings in the College chapel. Students and alum­nae of recent classes will be able to have their wedding in the chapel and all arrangements for records will be made with St . Ann' s parish. Three weddings are already scheduled: Pamela Quinlan ('68) on May 4; De­borah Elliot ('73) in August; and, Pat­ricia McMahon ('70) on June 22.

On January 28, Sr. Marie Barry, President, announced at a meeting with the student body that, instead of a fla t tui tion rate in the 1974-1975 and years following , each student would pay per credit course at $70/credit hour . This will enable a student to take an extra course if she can manage it academically and financially ; to take courses in the summer; and, pOSSibly, to shorten her college career by one semes ter. Sister also an­nounced an increase in room and board of $100 a year.

Shared Experience Program

Inside the World Beyond To participate , however slightly,

in the education of another is to give the gift of life. Faculty, alumnae and friends of the College have the chance to do just that, without pay­ing one tuition bill or buying a single book. It is a chance to get back into the mainstream of educa­tion and , at the same time , help ease the transition between aca­demic and post-graduate worlds .

Professional people are needed in every imaginable field , from doctors and lawyers to Indian chiefs , to " sponsor" a student in the Shared Experience Program . The program is no-pay, no-credit ; it is the student's concern for her future that motivates her to enter the program.

As Mark Twain once quipped, "I never let schooling interfere with my education ." The Shared Experi­ence Program was designed by Dr . George Fulton, Dean of the Depart­ment of Biological Sciences at Bos­ton University, and implemented by

n Electric Co . and area col-. The purpose of the program is

-v Introduce liberal arts students to the professional world before they have to make one of the most impor­tant decisions of their lives, that of deciding a career path.

Students are matched with spon­sors in the field of their choice . Through regular meetings, the stu­dent is able to see for herself what a politician, writer or industrial en­gineer really does from nine to five , before having to make a career com-

mitment. Some students are able to clarify uncrystallized career goals by deciding what general fields attract them; others clarify their under­standing of work in a specific field .

The sponsors have the opportun­ity to share their experience with a student and provide practical appli­cations to classroom theories, while guiding career decisions with ap­praisal of requirements and alterna­tives in the field . At the same time, sponsors are able to tune in on the thinking of contemporary college students with fresh ideas and en­thusiastic interest in the field .

The Shared Experience Program also provides the opportunity to change erroneous ideas . Students find , working with a sponsor, that the industrial world is not the fear­some, awesome "military-industrial complex" they once thought, simul­taneously learning the reasons for cost consciousness, employment practices and business ethics.

On a personal level, students are inspired by meetings with adults willing to share similar interests with them. The benefits are added confidence , job knowledge and clarification of goals .

In order to initiate this program on campus , we need sponsors. Alumnae, their spouses, friends and associates can help by suggesting possible sponsors , in any of the thousands of professional fields, to the P.R. Office. We will acquaint them with the program and ask if they would like to participate .
