Night School Reviews Role By P.A. Tiernan

" Y o u ' l l always get the day-night dichotomy," said Dr . Roger Pearson, dean of the School of Con­tinuing Educat ion.

Last November, the Facul ty Senate formed a committee to study the relationship between the evening school and the day school. Under the chairmanship of Dr . Stephen Mecca, possible problems and opportunities over the next 10 years were discussed.

The result of these discussions came in the form of a list of questions. These questions covered the four areas which the committee considered to be the major topics of controversy: f inancial operations, personnel status, academic operations, and admissions.

" F i n a n c i a l operations" is concerned with such uncertainties as, " C a n the College look to Con­tinuing Educat ion as an additional source of revenue in the future? Is S C E subsidizing the day school? Should it subsidize the day school? What should the tuition policy be? "

"Personnel s tatus" studies the faculty situation: "What should the policy be with regard to teaching appointments on SCE? What are (should be) the cr i ter ia for the selection of faculty in SCE? Should day school faculty teach in S C E as part of their day school teaching load and for day school compensation?" are among questions asked.

The queries of "academic operations" include "What should be the policy with regard to new programs and courses?"

Committee Approves Law School Concept

By J tmMonahan A faculty meeting on Wed-

nesday, September 22, met to review a report of the committee to study the feasibility of a law school at Providence College.

The commi t t e e , l ed by p r e s i d i n g J u s t i c e Jo s eph R. Weisberger, was organized by the Very Reverend Thomas R. Peterson, O.P., in 1975 to study the possibility of establishing a law school at the College. It was concluded by the committee that it would take approximately $3 mil l ion to get the law school started.

Father Peterson commented that about one-hal f of the requisite funding needed could be raised without too much of a problem; however, he added that the remaining funds would be more difficult to obtain.

The committee, considering a l l aspects of the s i tua t i on , recommended that Providence College seriously consider the opening of the proposed law school.

The proposed law school would

be designed to serve the needs of a p p r o x i m a t e l y 350 to 400 students. Father Peterson was adamant in stating that these students, as well as the faculty, funding, and the dean, would be considered separate and distinct from the undergraduate College.

The committee agreed in this respect and added that the law schoo l should become " se l f -support ing" within a four-year penod, and would therefore not affect the f inancial situation of the undergraduate College in any way whatsoever.

Father Peterson was f i rm in his decision to delay a f inal d ec i s i on on the commi t t e e ' s recommendations unt i l he has received aff irmation from the faculty, students, and the cor­poration of the College.

The committee report w i l l be discussed at a special meeting of the faculty sometime in October. Also due to study the report are the Facu l ty Senate, the Student Congress and the Committee on Administrat ion composed of the v i ce -pres idents , deans and division directors of the College.

Father Peterson hopes to oe able to have a designed course of action for the College's cor­poration by the first of the year. The review process should be completed by about this t ime.

According to the report, ap­proximately 600 law school ap­plications a year are made by Rhode I s l and res idents ex­pressing interest in the legal pro fess ion . The repor t a lso states, "Rhode Island residents find difficulty in obtaining ad­mission to law schools." It cites that in recent times, colleges such as Harvard have generally accepted far fewer Rhode Island residents than normal.

The Chron i c l e of H i ghe r Education reported last week that the 10-year increase in ap-

year, the increase was slight, but officials expect a two per cent drop for the most recent year, once figures are compiled.

Harvard University law school, usually one of the most popular p laces for app l i ca t i ons , ex­perienced their first enrollment drop in 10 years in 1974-75.

E v e n m i n o r i t y en ro l lmen ts , which have increased two-and three-fold during the last decade, are slowing_Although figures w i l l probably st i l l indicate an in­crease for the past year, national law school officials expect the increase to be below five per cent.

The Weisberger panel states that the $3 mil l ion in funds necessary to start the law school w i l l be allocated in the following m a n n e r : e s t ab l i sh ing a law l ibrary , $500,000; renovating the C h a p i n comp l ex , $500,000; classroom furnishings, $300,000 and salaries supported by tuition for the first four years, $1.7 mil l ion.

It also states that the Amer ican Bar Association requires a law school to "mainta in and ad­minis ter " a law l ibrary and it must be deemed adequate for the continuation of the law program.

Library Thefts Still a Problem

By Jane Hickey PC has a problem with book

thefts, but its problem is not nearly as severe as that of most university l ibraries.

A recent a r t i c l e i n The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that the mutilation and theft of books has become an inc r eas ing p rob l em on most college campuses.

The Chronicle found that the stolen books are usually new books in great demand and that they usually fall under one of the fo l l ow ing ca tegor i es : s o c i a l

sciences, specialized texts in law and medicine, cookbooks, books about drugs, and those dealing with sexual behavior.

The Chronicle also cites some figures for the percentages of these losses. Fo r example, it reports that two years ago, the State University of New York at Stony Brook lost an average of

six percent of its books, while the medical-dental l ibrary at Tufts University finds approximately eight percent of its collection missing annually.

The University of California at Berkeley found an astounding fourteen percent of its books missing after an inventory in January, 1975.

P C boasts a m u c h better record, according to Joseph H . Doherty, l ibrary director. He said that an inventory was taken in the summer of 1975, the first of its kind since the new building has been occupied.

He explained that such an inventory was impossible before that time since the staff was in the process of changing over from the Dewey D e c i m a l Sys t em to the L i b r a r y of Congress System.

The inventory found ap­proximately 2200 books missing, pr imar i ly from the categories of languages and literature, which contain the largest percentage of the PC l ibrary 's collection.

The next three la rges t categories of missing books were in the fields of science, social science, and philosophy, religion and psychology. However, this loss represents only one-fifth of one percent of the total collection.

Doherty stated that while he was not overjoyed at the prospect of losing any books, this figure is. not too distressing by comparison

Election '76: Voter Apathy To Be Highest Since '24

By Caro l Grabowski

It is Tuesday, November 2, 1976. John Q. is running across Chapin parking lot, trying to beat the noon traffic on his way home. John must pick up his little sister at school, go home, study for a few hours, get to work, and then try to win back what he lost last week in a few rounds of poker. John has already made his plans for the day.

According to pollster Peter Hart, John's plans for the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November may be typical of an astonishing 54 per cent of the Topulahon registered electorate: rohn does not plan to vote.

If Hart 's predictions come true, the year 1976 may occupy a position in history not connected with the Bicentennial : This year could be the first year since 1924 that the P r e s i d e n t i a l voter participation wi l l drop below 50 per cent.

Why don't voters vote? Ideally, 1976 should be an easy year for the electorate to make a choice. Newspapers , t e l e v i s i on , and radio carry campaign news and speeches every day. The Ford-Carter Forensic Forums wi l l be the younger generation's first chance to witness a political debate.

But most voters don't find politics to be quite so interesting.

In fact, most find it dul l . Voters feel separated from the system for three major reasons:

* D E C I S I O N *

'76 (?)

First i n

a Series

* * * • • • *

1) They don't trust either the political system of conventions, parties, and back-room caucuses or the governmental system of traveling congressmen, partisan pres idents , and sw ing ing senators;

2) They feel that voting is meaningless because there are no real choices;

3) They feel personal ly powerless to change polit ical life.

In P o l i t i c a l A l i ena t i on in Contemporary Amer ica , Robert Gilmore and Robert L a m b list three reasons why people don't trust the government:

1) Voters feel that most government o f f i c ia ls a re c rooked ; 2) The e lectorate believes that politicians do not do the r ight t h i n g ; 3) Many Americans feel that the govern­ment is run by a few big interests looking out l o r themselves and not for everybody.

Distrust of politicians can also stem from a much more basic human emotion: envy.

Fo r example, Joe America is sitting in his l iving room. Joe is the same age as Wayne Hayes -over 40, short, bald, and rotund. Joe got that way because he quit smoking. Wayne Hayes got that way because he frequents the banquet and c o c k t a i l par ty circuit. In addition, Joe's wife looks l ike Wayne Hayes.

Joe picks up l i s newspaper and starts reading about the fact that, despite the fact that he has a lovely second wife, Hayes also has enough money to spend $14,000 annually on a beautiful mistress. A guy with that kind of opportuni ty just has to be crooked, doesn't he?

News Lecturer Due Here

Who ki l led John Kennedy? That question w i l l be discussed next Tuesday when M a r k Lane, a lawyer who is investigating the question, w i l l appear at Harkins Aud i t o r ium with his retinue of Alms and facts.

Lane, who wrote the book and sc r eenp lay for the mov i e Executive Action, is a leading cr i t ic of the Warren Commission Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assailant of President Kennedy, and that there was no plot by others to k i l l the President.

Lane's lecture w i l l include shots of the Zapruder f i lm, which many believe contains evidence, based on movements of Ken­nedy's head following the gun­shots, that there was more than one assassin.

Senator R i chard Schweiker (R-Pa . ), who successfully urged that

Congress consider the question, charged, "There is no Question but that both the F B I and C.I.A. l ied to the Warren Commiss ion . "

T ime cal led Lane "one of the three most popular lecturers on the college campus . "

So Lane is not universally praised.

Hopes High By Hol ly Green

This year the Resident Board, chaired by F r ed Mason and Bob Gorman, hopes to make resident students more aware that there is an o r gan i za t i on w o r k i n g for them. They also hope to make a few changes in their present policies Excessive room damage charges were sent out this summer, say the chairmen, and some students agreed with that assessment. Mason feels that to charge a student for another's damage, and the charging of exorbitant fees for painting is g r o s s l y u n f a i r .

One change already in effect, decided by the head residents, is that a l l dorm parties wi l l be held in the Service Bui ld ing on the Lower Campus, and not in the dorms. The ma in room of the Service building is termed " i n ­destructible."

The Resident Board also feels there is a need for a new type of meal ticket. Too many have been destroyed easily, and too many students are lending their tickets on weekends. If a laminated ID card could be designed, feels the Board, it would be more prac­t ical .

Dormitory elections wi l l be coming up soon, and another Battle of the Dorms is slated for the spring. The Battle was one of of the Board 's most successful ventures last year.

Job Demand Too High

The part-time jobs on campus present a much more com-petat ive a tmosphere . D ' A r c y said, "The demand far exceeds the supply . " These jobs comprise approximately 35 per cent of a l l jobs on campus. The food ser­vices in Raymond and A lumni Halls provide many of these jobs.

Many Doors Are Open For Poli .-Sci. Majors

(Second in a Series)

By Gayle Fr i edman A p p r o x i m a t e l y 43 po l i t i c a l

science majors graduated this May. What is the concentration all about. Is this field " open? "

Po l i t ica l scinece majors can look forward to an array of careers in the fields of law, federal, local, and state govern­ments, public and private in­terest groups, specific business positions, journal ism, teaching

and-or educa t i ona l ad ministration, politics itself, and even the fields of community organization.

Dr. R ichard Alsfeld, political science department head, and Dr. Wi l l iam Hudson, director of the pub l i c a d m i n i s t r a t i o n p rog ram, both e m p h a t i c a l l y agree on the value of the well rounded student

Hudson "de f in i te ly " advocates t a k i n g advantage " o f irre levancies" (to one's major) regarding elective courses in a

Textbook Prices Increase:

Students Feel Pinch By Mary Dodge

The favor i t e g r ipe at the beginning of each semester is aimed at the bookstore: the lines and seemingly endless wait ing, and then the price of books.

The lines 'have been made shorter this year, since the bookstore has t e m p o r a r i l y moved to Harkins Auditor ium. But, there is l ittle the bookstore can do about the price of books, according to general manager Dennis Hughes.

Hughes exp l a ined that the price of books is dictated by the publishers, and that books arr i ve to the store already priced. It used to be that the price of books went up every year; now it's every semester. The rocketing

Erices as of late have been lamed on the paper shortage

and inflation of chemicals, in general.

The bookstore operates on a 20 per cent marg in (That is , the bookstore is allowed to mark up books from the list price by 20 per cent.) Out of this marg in , the bookstore pays the salaries of its workers, freight to and from from the publisher, handling charges, and the overhead of the bookstore.

Hughes explained that other bookstores , such as Wa lden , mark up their books 40 to 60 per cent. " You ' r e getting a better dea l on textbooks than on a n y t h i n g e l s e , " s a i d P e t e r Banvich, assistant mananger of the bookstore.

Hughes be l i eves that the reason students are so upset about the prices is because they have to pay for the books themselves. Their tuition is paid by a t h i r d p a r t y , Hughes believes, but the books must be paid for by the students.

Another complaint of students is the shortage of needed books. The shor tages a r e d i r e c t l y related to the course changes in

September. Usual ly, the books for the September semester are o rdered in A p r i l . If th is procedure runs smoothly, the bookstore knows which books to

buy back from students by the end of May . However, if more students enroll in September, if the professors don't hand in the i r o rders on t ime , the bookstore runs short of books.

The books can be specially-ordered,. They would usually take seven to 10 days to arr ive but s ince a l l o ther co l lege

bookstores are doing the same thing, the ordering times takes longer.

According to Hughes, not a l l the professors are fully aware of the problem of high prices. As an alternative to the high prices

offers the idea of using one Dook per course and then having sutdents use books that are on reserve in the l ibrary.

In the past seven years, the price of books has risen 30 to 40 per cent. In 1970, the average c lo th book cost $10.50. the average paperback was $3. Now, the average cloth bound edition is $13 or $14 and the average paperback is $6. A t the beginning of the Western Civ program, the Mack text book cost $7.95; next year the price wi l l be $10.95.

Hughes feels the quest ion becomes not why do books cost so much, but rather, are the books worth the price?

Veritas '76

This year's issue features a new section on the faculty and administrators.

student's program. F o r e xamp l e , Hudson

recommends the polit ical science major to elect Engl ish courses, and perhaps to add a bit of philosophy to his curr icu lum.

Both Alsfeld and Hudson agree there is no "one-to-one l inkage" between strictly polit ical science courses and a position in the job market following graduation. A variety of interests and training seem to be qualifications for today's marketable grabs.

A new i n t e r - d i s c i p l i na r y program of study in Publ ic Ad­ministration has been added to P C . Not a major, this program is geared to a i d students in p r epa r ing themse lves for a government career.

It d i rects students to P C courses which wi l l allow them to gather skills which would be useful i n governement em­ployment.

Cited as an example is the Harvard Business School, which wants no s t r i c t l y business-oriented students; the "jack-of-all interests" type of students is called for.

A further example is the Yale Business School, which features po l i t i c a l sc ience as a bas ic concern in its program. Policy-planning positions are focused on, while the business aspect of the school has become subor-

Students wishing to take up the Individualized Program are not expected to sat is fy a l l the requirements of an individual academic department. Students who devise their own program of study must demonstrate a need that transcends their specific major and thus requires a special curr iculum.

These requests may also be picked up in the Dean's Office and must be signed by a l l of the involved department chairmen. They then should be returned to the dean for approval.

Size Priorities The backbone of any educational institution is the classroom.

Though Providence College has not been able to fully accommodate the growing number of resident students, fortunately the classroom situation has been l i t t le affected by the increasing enrollment.

Remodeling of the lower campus has yielded more space for the expanding art department while leaving Stephen Ha l l open for other classes. Coupled with the renovation of Aquinas Ha l l last spring, the physical problems of the classroom have been al leviated

Over the past four years the student-faculty ratio has ex­perienced a slight, but statistically insignificant, increase. In the 1973-1974 academic year the student-faculty ratio numbered 15.5 to 1. This fall the ratio is 17.0 to 1, actual ly a 0.1 decrease over last year. (These figures apply to full-time instructors and students).

Apparently the College has managed to maintain a balance in the classroom. It is unfortunate that the logistics of resident students are not as easily corrected.

At the present many students are l iv ing in a dorm situation that is less than conducive to studying. Currently the max imum number of people in a room is five. Under such conditions breathing becomes a violation of personal spatial rights.

The effectiveness with which the College has handled the problems of academia should be applied to the dormitories. Fo r if the resident issue is not resolved, if l iv ing conditions continue to be detrimental to studying, the balance achieved in the classroom wi l l be of little worth.

Omen Was Ominous B y Dav id A m a r a l

It was Saturday night, Sep­tember 18, and Orleans was in town. I was psyched for this one -the first concert of the year is always an " o m e n , " predicting how tne rest of the year wi l l turn out. (Needless to say, the concert opened up with a little boy named Damian singing a duet with Gregory Peck.)

Upon entering A lumni Ha l l , I was overwhelmed by the blanket of people covering the floor and bleachers, and the massive sound equipment on the stage Could this be the same place we play basketball and take our Western Civ finals in? When I looked down and saw "P latonic universal ideas vs. aristotelian concrete rea l i ty " carved into my seat, I knew it must be

Indeed, A lumn i G y m is proving to be most versatile. Before you know it, they' l l be rooming students there to e l im ina t e dormitory overcrowding (The net and backboard can serve as a "high rise executive suite" ) .

It was hea rd that some students were opposed to this and other concerts, because Saturday night is their night "out with the hoop." George Payola , chairman of the "under-the-table basket­ball fund" said, however, that the matter was " a l l taken care of."

Wel l , enough smal l talk - on to the concert. The lights soon flicked off and Beaver Brown appeared, greeted by a dazzling show of spotlights. I happened to notice stuck on every light was a little red sign saying "L ights out, conserve energy." Beaver Brown

Fribourg Traveller's Memoir:

By Bob Burke

'Wherever We Were, There Was a Party9

•urke _ * The French call this Swiss town

Fribourg. German-speaking people have given it the name Freiburg, Americans who are familiar with this place have nicknamed it Freedale.

Regardless of the spelling or pronunciation, this town is the heart of the Providence • in -Europe program, PC's highly successful junior-year-abroad program. Each year PC sends a group of students to a variety of European universities; most go to Fribourg. Full-year and second semester plans are offered. I went for the full year.

It has been just a year since we boarded the Ch i cago -Bos ton -Zur ich night flight.It seems like yesterday. It seems l ike a hun­dred years. I wish it could happen a l l over again tomorrow.

Some people on that plane were there because it was the begin­ning of a dream, the end of years of p lanning and saving. Others had come because they were drifting. This was a chance to get out of Porvidence, away from P C . It was more important to leave here than go there.

We sped through the night at hundreds of miles an hour, yet somehow we were just doing a slow drift. The break had been made, fami ly and friends left beh ind . The exped i t i on had begun. The tour had commenced and it was to be a long strange t r i p th rough fore ign l ands , through so many lives.

We arr ived in Fr ibourg on a beautiful sunny day. Two days later the first contingent was on the road, destination: the Ok­toberfest in Munich . About thirty of the chi ldren were on the move. They had heard that the party was in Mun ich so they had no intention of missing out.

That is how it would be a l l year. Wherever there was partying to be done we were there to do it. Wherever we were, there was a

T V Trips By Rosemary Lynch

About this time of year the television networks are sweating it out. The executives watch the ratings with palpitations and t r ep ida t i on (wh i l e the i r c a r ­diologists are watching them with despair) .

It is the start of another season. New shows have been added to the l ine of anes the t i z ing programs. Old shows have been given new crises to keep the viewers in yoke.

The nation w i l l grow immune to the differences: James Evans dying on "Good T imes , " Rhoda's s epara t i on , A r c h i e B u n k e r ' s aborted fl ing. Then the writers wi l l have to come up with new twists (not necessa r i l y good scripts) to keep the Amer ican audience in tow.

Unfortunately, script writers and their bosses continue to ignore TV ' s one sure-fire success. Television offers a mi l lenium of insights into Amer ican life. At any time of the day you can turn on the set and see concise, quick, in-depth reports of Amer icans as a people. These segements of A m e r i c a n a a lso prov ide the financial backing for the rest of the garbage

Railpasses gave a free ride from Morrocan deserts to the Arc t ic tundra. In between we found monumental beauty both natural and manmade, existing along with the memory of man at his most des t ruc t i v e . Everywhere one turns in Europe one is confronted with something new and d i f ferent , pe rhaps something old, incredibly old and different. E a c h evokes something special in each person. Europe brings together a l l kinds of op­posing forces and ideas and harmonizes them.

The Swiss are famous for their precision timepieces, yet each clock tells a different t ime. Church bells are heard from five of the hour to five past because each has a near-perfect clock but nobody real ly knows what t ime it is.

The idea of Swiss neutrality always conjured visions of a nation without an a rmy . In fact, every man between 18 and 45 must do at least three weeks of active duty each year. It is the experience of these paradoxes

that makes life in Europe so r ich. In some countries nothing ever

seems to go right, yet the people don't care. They are having too much fun to let life's tribulations get them down. Other countries are super-efficient yet the people are total bores. Life is free and easy in the South and gets more serious as one heads north. It's a l l there , wa i t i n g to be discovered by each person in his own way.

Junior-year-abroad is only one way to see Europe, but it is unique in that each student has to adjust not only to a foreign culture but also to part of a subculture consisting of their fellow Americans in Fr ibourg. Becoming part of that group was the best part of the year.

Go to Europe and meet your neighbors, it 's a dynamite time. It's strange but there is a good chance that you wi l l learn more about Amer i ca by leaving.

So go, get the hell out of here. Europe is not a l l fun. It can be depressing and frustrating. It has i ts sha r e of homes ickness , heartache and disappointments. A l l that is going to be outweighed by the great people and places that w i l l become a part of you. I wouldn't want to speculate but going to Europe w i l l probably be the time of your life.

Chaplain's Office Plans Autumn Spiritual Activities By Father Terry Keegan, O.P.

Most of the people of the world spend most of their t ime just trying to get enough to eat and sti l l 65 tier cent remain hunerv.

At Providence College we enjoy the luxury of being able to devote most of our time to learning and the overal l development of our human oersonalities.

Nex t Sunday we w i l l be c e l e b r a t i n g our a n n u a l Oktoberfest with a Mass and a party. We w i l l be celebrating the

cont inu ing p r o s p e r i t y of P r o v i d e n c e Co l l ege and the privilege that each of us has to be a part of the college communitv

It is good to celebrate, but let our celebration be one f i l led with a gratitude for our good fortune and a concern for those less fortunate.

We ended September with a forum on sexuality We now enter the month of October, a month traditionally devoted to Mary , the Mother of God. The balance and growth we a l l seek in our lives w i l l certainly be aided by a realistic devotion to the human person who was closest to Our Lord Jesus Christ, His mother.

To help foster our devotion to Mary we w i l l have a series of candlelight Masses each Tuesday of October in Aquinas Chapel at 11 p.m. These Masses w i l l be ce l ebra ted by F a t h e r s R e i d , Cosk r en , Rove r , and Cun­ningham, each Mass stressing some aspect of M a r y ' s significance for our lives as Christians.

In addition to these Masses the Rosary w i l l be recited in Aquinas Chapel every school day at 7 p.m. A l l members of the community

'Hard Rain': Dylan Alive Stills-Young: Shaky

B y F r a n k Fort in

H a r d Ra in , By Bob Dy lan ; Columbia, PC 343V9

What can you trust anymore? Dylan has a television special, and Stills and Young have put out an a lbum. These things aren't supposed to happen.

Bob Dy lan ' s T V show a few weeks back was someth ing special. If you didn't see it, the show was a f i lming of a concert he did with the Rol l ing Thunder Review last fa l l .

It is actually the second chi ld of his brainstorm, because Dy lan ordered another set of f i lm destroyed because he wasn't satisfied with the results. He seems to have made a good choice of f i lms because the show was a jewel, part icular ly in his set with Joan Baez.

The sound track of the show is reproduced on an album called H a r d Ra in (an obvious reference to his 1965 apocalyptic tune). The interesting arrangements of old and new songs prove once again that this guy from Minnesota is no hack.

" I d i o t W i n d , " a s ea r ing acoustic piece on Blood on the Tracks, is electric on Hard Rain, using mostly two guitars, a bass, drums, and a backup vocalist who chants the chorus with Dylan. Strangely, the song is less harsh on the live a lbum.

Pa r t of the charge one gets from the studio version is the contrast between Dy lan 's ripping vocal and the instrumental ac­companiment. It is a strange mixture of laid-back guitars and a slightly strained organ. The result is one unsettlement.

The electric accompaniment loses that, but does not ruin the song. The backup vocal restores some of the atmosphere, and the song remains nearly as powerful as the studio version.

Overal l , the a lbum is a fine product, and worth more than its value in historical interest. It is truly an entertaining piece of music

Long May You Run by Sti l ls-Young; Reprise, MS2253

I half expected to hear a fan­fare when this th ing was released. P re l im inary ads were run saying it was " coming soon." You could hardly wait.

Wel l , it real ly wasn't worth sitting at home every Saturday night anx i ous l y awa i t i n g i ts arr iva l . Y o u did do that didn't you? Didn ' t you?

There is one tune that ab-solutley knocks me out, cal led "Midnight on the B a v " , written by Nei l Young. It is the most mellow thing I have ever heard in my life.

Y o u n g pa in ts the scene beautifully with lyr ics , melody, harmony and a vocal which lovingly nurses each syllable through one of the most tastefully and beautifully done songs he's released.

After that song, everything else is a letdown. Compare it to having a lead weight thrown into your stomach after eating.

Wel l , I may be exaggerating. But Stills follows with a complete blowout with " B l a c k Co ra l . " I don't mind the rest of the songs too much. The title track is fine (the A M tune), and the second side is also satisfactory. Overall , you'd have to say Young's songs (five out of the nine are his) are super io r to S t i l l s ' ef forts. Perhaps Sti l ls ' previous album (a good work) drained h im , and this one came too quickly af­terwards.

At least I hope that's the reason. There have been con­flicting reports on the status of the non-group of the 1970s, Crosby, Stil ls, Nash and Young. Based on the persona l ap­praisements of recent work by the four, I 'm not so much hoping for a reunion as just simple continued creativity. It's the least you can hope for and even that's getting tenuous.

Student Charges 'Callous Journalism'

Dear Editor , Concern ing your ed i t o r i a l

p ra i s ing the col lege for establishing ramos into Aauinas Hal l , the action is truly worthy of praise. But, as for the headline -"Helpless Are He lped" - the headline writer was thoughtless in his choice of words. As one who is handicapped with cerebral pa lsy , I a m (as are my paraplegic "brothers" ) far from helpless. "He lp less " implies less than human. We would not be in college if we were helpless -dependent and defenseless. We are rational human beings!

At best, the headline is a ca l l ous , thought less p iece of j o u r n a l i s m ; at worst , i t is another example of the mentality of some so-called " n o r m a l " in­

dividuals to raise their own self-esteem with the attitude: "Oh , pity the poor cripple kid. I'm glad I'm not h i m . "

To the contrary, I am glad I am what I am and not anyone else -especially not that insecure type of individual who feels he is helping the supposed helpless.

Sincerely,

Franc is P. McAleer '78

(Editor's Note: The editor ex­presses his sincere apology for the poor choice of wording used in the headline. "Helpless are Helped," that ran in the Sep­tember 22 edition of The Cowl.)

Cowl Editorial Board Changes

George Lennon, editor-in-chief of The Cowl, announced last week that he had relieved Mary Dodge from her position as the features editor. At that time, Lennon appointed F rank Fort in , news editor of The Cowl , to the position of managing editor.

Lennon cited that the editor's positions of news and features could be efficiently managed under one person. He also stated

that the position of features editor was abstract and led to too much bureaucracy. Through the manag ing ed i tor ' s pos i t ion,

Lennon feels that it w i l l be easier to control the amount of material needed from each department.

Also announced at the time was the addition of A l Pal ladino to the

position of staff l ibrarian. Lennon stated that Pal ladino will file a l l past m a t e r i a l of Cowl and

provide the other departments with recent information on ar­ticles from The Cowl.

Lennon also stated that Br ian Keaveney, who was titled as the managing editor but who was

more concerned w i th the business aspects of the paper had resigned. Keaveney who had also served on the paper as the ad­vertising manager, stated he could no longer work on the paper

because of the editorial staf fs inability to get anything done. Heniz Brinkhaus was appointed to take over Keaveney's position as the business manager.

Its a Dog's Life P C Pits Exposed {Second in a Series)

B y David Amare l

There hasn't been much ex­citing news in the past week. I mean, just look at the front page (or is that asking too much?) . Once again, we at The Cowl are forced to turn back the pages of time and look into our back issues.

After cutting my way through the cobwebs and dust at the Archives, I stumbled upon a 1939 article on a P C mascot:

The death of Friar Boy 2nd of What-Ho kennels has resulted in the designation of a new Dalmation as the official mascot of Providence College. The new dog, known familiarly as "Jim-miny Crickets," is the son of Friar Boy 2nd by Lady Chocolate of Glenmore. The death of Friar Boy is the second among Providence College mascots.

Friar Boy 1st. descended from a long line of champions, was the first mascot of Providence College. Purchased by the Friars Club and donated to the college, he served as mascot until his death in 1937. He was replaced in the fall of 1937 by Friar Boy 2nd, who was a nephew of Friar Boy 1st. Friar Boy 2nd was sired by His Royal Highness of What-Ho. His mother was Princess Penny of What-Ho.

In his long career at Providence College, Friar Boy 2nd was exhibited in many shows and won 16 first prizes and one second prize, taking two firsts in Infantry Hall shows, a first at Springfield, and a second at Newport.

The third Friar Boy, also donated to the College by the Friars Club, was sired by Friar Boy 2nd and was bom in June. 1938.

Unlike his father, Friar Boy 2nd, who was too finely bred to be a good mascot was primarily, a show dog, "Jimminy" will not be a show dog.

The next a r t i c l e , ent i t l ed " M a n n e r s , " shows us that the cafeteria has changed little since the '30s.

Good-natured fun. when it finds its outlet in intelligent banter, pseudo-sarcastic raillery, and other harmless expressions of animated wit, should be con­doned and even advised by any reasonable person. "Good-natured fun." however, which includes the throwing of food­stuffs, dishes, cups and eating implements; and even goes so far as to permit the lighting of fires

under the chairs and tables of unsuspecting occupants, loses all right to this name. Such humor, if it by any stretch of the imagination can be called that, may be attributed only to the ill-bred.

We hope that the thoughtlessness of the aforementioned men will cease. This article only hopes to recall the motto of the college man and inspire a more firm adherence to it: "A Providence man is a gentleman always" ... even when the faculty isn't looking.

This next art ic le leads one to believe that Monty Python was around and busy thinking up

'si l ly c lubs " 37 years ago.

Out of all the talk and writing on college campuses concerning the state of the world, one of the most unusual developments is the formation at Temple University of a "Committee for Racial and Religious Tolerance. " Purpose of this group is "to unify all groups and individuals on the campus who wish to promote racial and religious harmony."

But, true to tradition, collegians cannot help adding a bit of satire to the wh ole situation. At Emporia, Kansas, State Teachers College, un­dergraduates have founded a

Poet Pulls Into Town: Fran Quinn, Worcester County Poet Laureate

B y Betsy Stachura

F r a n Quinn, Worcester County poet-in-residence, was the guest last Wednesday for the first poetry reading of the academic year.

Qu inn is an en thus i a s t i c promoter of poetry - and not necessarily his own. He read no more of his own poetry on Wednesday evening than he did of L eve r t o v , W i l l i a m C a r l o s W i l l i a m s , N e r u d a , E l d r i d g e Cleaver, and E d w a r d Arl ington Robinson.

Qu inn also promotes h is favorite ar t medium over radio s ta t ion W I C N in Worces t e r , alternating wi th three other poets on a weekly show cal led, s imply, "The Worcester Poetry Show of the A i r . "

Quinn holds a masters degree in E n g l i s h f r o m A s s u m p t i o n

College, and a Ph .D . in Eng l i sh f r om the U n i v e r s i t y of Massachusetts.

He has taught high school and college level Eng l i sh at several places, and now visits area schools r e g u l a r l y to teach courses in creative wr i t ing, with emphasis on poetry.

His other jobs as president of the Worcester County Poetry Association, are to edit the Association's publication, The Worcester Revue; and to do poetry readings in the Worcester area.

Quinn has published in a series of magazines, and may compile an asso r tment of poems to publish in book-form in the near future.

He was .first published in, and later became editor of, both Gob and The Worcester Revue, two literary magazines of the Wor­

cester area. He has also published in Little

A p p l e , E b b T ide , and the publication of the New England A s s o c i a t i o n of Teachers of E n g l i s h , c a l l ed the N E A T E Leaflet.

Also a student of astrology, Quinn has learned to determine the sun signs of many poets s imply by the style of their poems.

F o r e x a m p l e , he s a i d , a Taurus' poetry is sure to show signs of m a t e r i a l i s m and-or tenacity and obstinacy. Being a Taurus himself, Quinn frankly accepts these as elements of his own style, and proposes that astrology affects our lives much more deeply than many people are aware.

Half-Priced Seats Now Available By Maureen Kenny

D i d you know that you can attend most Rhode Island theater performances for half-price?

That 's right. As a Providence College student, you qualify for discount tickets to the opera, ballet, Rhode Island and Boston Symphonies and most area plays.

Here 's how it works.

The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts endows certain performances. When a student decides to attend a show, a l l he needs to do is tell Father J . Stuart McPha i l , O.P., in the Students Affair Office at Slavin Center. A voucher which can be traded at

the box office for half-price tickets w i l l be given to the student.

In addition to the already

mentioned programs, the en­dowments " inc lude many pop people," sa id Fa ther McPha i l . Last year students were able to see singer E l l a F i tzgera ld for $1.50. This year a program is be ing w o r k e d out w i t h the Lederer Theater. Within a few weeks, students should also be able to get advance discounts there.

According to Fa the r McPha i l , the Counci l on the Arts offers a "very good program. About the only thing they don't subsidize is on the rock concerts , " he said.

Current ly , the Lederer Theater only offers student rates on tickets that remain unsold a half-hour before the show begins.

P lays endowed by the Council wi l l often advertise that fact. If there is a question regarding a performance see Father M c P h a i l for clari f icat ion.

Father M c P h a i l sa id that those attending do not have to go in large groups. Tickets can be ordered individual ly. Students are encouraged to order tickets early: the number of vouchers is limited. Last year, opera tickets proved to be very popular and sold out quickly.

Joseph Murphy, it is a problem that must be contended with every day.

Murphy, who has been director of food services for many years, has a loyal and dedicated crew working under h im. Headed by Frank Antoscia, floor steward, most have been around since the end of World War II. They include chefs, bakers, and other people whose behind-the-scenes work is vital to the preparation of daily meals.

But, what happens to the trays and utensils after they have been used? Who cleans up the mess after everyone has eaten? Did you ever wonder what happens to your tray after it is seized by the eager pairs of hands in Raymond cafeteria's dishwasher section?

Wel l faithful ones, wonder no more. There are people back there, not just hands, and the jobs they do are as important as they are thankless.

Rob Walsh, J i m O'Donnell, Nei l Brand i , and Robert Matson are four of the people who hibernate behind that window. It is they who are responsible for cleaning off your dirty trays and placing them in the dishwasher. Most of them are relatively new at the job, having worked for only a semester at most. They find it easy work, and most admit to doing it for either pocket money, or as part of the work-study program.

Just as we have never seen their faces, so they don't see ours. Therefore, when asked if one particular sex was neater than the other, O'Donnell replied, "They ' re about the same. We can't see the faces, so we really don't notice. A l l we know is that it gets real busy sometimes."

Stephen K o l u c h , a senior , clarified the matter further: "The students are very wasteful. It's amazing to see trays come back w i t h food not even touched." Ko luch explained that some days are busier than others. "F rank fur ts and beans are a relatively slow day , " he said. "Steak is the biggie, because more people come down to eat if they know that they're gonna eat steak," Ko luch added.

There is a free spir i t in the kitchen who also c la ims to be the mastermind behind the entire operat ion. " M i n d l e s s " Chuck Sakany, who unloads the dish­washer , c a l l ed his job " a demanding one that requires fast hands and s k i l l . " Sakany, a two semester veteran of the kitchen, sort of oversees the others while st i l l performing his task with complete efficiency. However, the dishwasher itself is not as efficient, and Sakany admitted, "Some dishes must be rewashed because they sometimes come

P C Pilferage Not As Bad as Others

Continued from Page 1

to the losses many other l ibrar ies are suffering.

Doherty was quick to add that last year was "not a typical year. While last year 's costs for book replacement were between (8,000 and $10,000, the average annual cost before the 1975 in­ventory was a p p r o x i m a t e l y $2,000.

The 1975 f i gure r epresents approximately 36 percent of the total l ibrary budget for that year, which was $22,423.

He explained that during an average year, approximately 150 books are replaced. These books are d i s cove r ed m i s s i n g on ly when a student comes to the circulation staff for help in locating them.

During an inventory, however all missing books are discovered and it is then determined which ones must be replaced. This judgement is made on the basis of how important the book is . If it was rarely used or one of many copies, it may not be replaced. If it is obviously necessary, it is immediately replaced.

In order for a book to be classified as missing, the staff must check the shelves, then the circulation files, then return to the shelves several more t imes to insure that the book is legitimately missing.

At that point, the reorder is placed. Usual ly the price of the books has increased and a fee of approximately two dol lars in library staff costs for t ime spent labelling and typing must be added to the cost of the book replacement.

Figures on muti lated books were less readi ly avai lable since the l ibrary has no way of knowing if a book is damaged unti l a student brings it to their at­tention. At that point, the staff wi l l either find another copy of the book or borrow one from another l ibrary in order to Xerox the missing pages and insert them in the damaged volume. The same is true for missing articles i n magazines.

When asked if the Checkpoint electronic detection system was of great help, Doherty said that he felt it was. The present system was installed in 1969 and was probably the first in use in Rhode Island.

Since there are so m a n y classrooms in constant use in the l ibrary, it would be out of the question to have a security guard checking the bags of a l l outgoing students, so the e l e c t r on i c security system was adopted.

Also, after computing the cost of paying a security guard to be

at the door every hour during which the l ibrary is open, the electronic system was found to be less expensive in the long run.

The one disadvantage, Doherty explained, is the number of false a larms caused by the fact that the system is triggered by any non-ferrous metal object.

He explained that a new, im­proved model has been designed but that it is incompatible with the old one. While even the check­point manufacturers admit that some of those bent on stealing these books wi l l find a way to do so, the system is, on the whole, quite effective.

When asked about the l ibrary 's amnesty po l i c y , Doher t y reported it to be unsuccessful for the most part. He said that a large number of overdue books were never returned.

The other problem is that amnesty causes a vicious c i rc le ef fect : the more f requent ly amnesty is offered, the more students come to depend on it, so they procrastinate in returning their books.

A report slated for the Facul ty Senate in the near future wil l explain a policy which the l ibrary hopes to put into effect to curb its problems with overdue books.

Doherty explained that with the present system, a student may take out a book and not be forced to return it until May of his-her senior year, when, on pain of not receiving a diploma, the ad­ministration enforces the return of a l l l i b rary materials.

Under the proposed system, a student would get an ini t ia l overdue notice, followed by a second notice one month later. At this point when the second notice is issued, the cost of the book, plus a five-dollar penalty, w i l l be added on to each student's b i l l in the Treasurer 's Office, and that office w i l l enforce the payment of these fees.

This pol icy must be discussed with the Facu l ty Senate and Student Congress before it goes into effect. It w i l l also be widely pub l i c i z ed before i ts i m ­plementation, which wi l l not be before second semester.

Doherty added that the only other problem the l ibrary is presently facing involves com­plaints about the noise level during the evening hours.

He realizes that the noise is not deliberate but he feels that the l ibrary must be the one quiet place on campus where students can study. If students persist in a c t ing l i k e g r a m m a r - s c h o o l children, he said, they wi l l be asked to leave.

Why Voter Apathy? Continued from Page 1

G i l m o r e and L a m b a lso elaborate on why people feel powerless to change the system:

1) Voters feel that they don't have much of a say in what the government does;

2) Pol i t ics is so complicated that the average citizen can't understand it ;

3) Most politicians don't care what's really going on in the electorate's mind.

The media pays much attention to disadvantaged groups who feel powerless to change the system, namely, blacks, the elderly, and the poor. But increasingly upper and middle class people are starting to feel that their votes just don't count. When Atty. M . Law makes $75,000 a year and pays almost half of his salary in income taxes, it 's no wonder that he begins to feel left out of the system. «

People also stay away from the polls tor a more subtle reason. Despite the morning Pledge of Allegiance and Fourth of Ju ly parades, many citizens have simply been conditioned not to like politics. T V more than any other medium has contributed to this phenomenon. How many times while you were waiting to watch Howdy Doody, did Daddy complain that the nice, grand-fatherly-looking man in the box spent too much t ime playing golf and not enough time playing politics? How many times did Mommy say that no matter who ran the government, prices were already equally high in the supermarket? These subtle digs can leave lasting impressions on little chi ldren. If M o m m y and Daddy say them, mustn't they be true?

The report also calls for a faculty of no less than six full-t ime staff members and a full-t ime dean, in addition to a law l ibrar ian and adeauate staff.

The panel concluded that a $2,000 tu i t i on fee wou ld be charged and if the enrollment reached the proposed 350 students, the school should reach a self-supporting status in the predicted four-year period.

On the other hand, if you like to see Nei l Diamond's back, tickets may be available for his October 16 appearance. The prices are outrageous, but he appears to be getting what he's asking. To have only backstage seats available two weeks before the show is quite impr e s s i v e , espec ia l l y since his last big seller was two years ago (I thought " L o n g f e l l o w ' s S e r e n a d e " was s l i ght l y obnoxious, myse l f ) .

P C Senior Chosen For

Ford Comm. Michael Vallante, a senior at

P r o v i d ence Col lege , was ap­po inted coord inator of the President Fo rd campaign for P C . The announcement was made last week by Vincent A. Cianci , J r . , mayor of Providence and chairman for the state Ford re­election committee.

Vallante, a pol i t ical science major, is a 1973 graduate of LaSal le Academy in Providence. He is chairman of the Seventh W ard R e p u b l i c a n Commi t t e e , and was an unsuccessful can­didate for a seat on the Providence Ci ty Counci l from the seventh ward in 1974.

He served as a volunteer worker for Attorney General Herbert DeSimone's campaigns for governor in both 1970 and 1972.

In making the appointment, Cianci pointed out that Vallante served in the Reagan presidential pr imary campaign in Rhode Island. Cianci cited Vallante's willingness work for President Ford as "another example of the Republican party uni t ing" for the upcoming election.

What should be the role of departments with regard to such policy? What should be the policy with regard to the phasing out or dropping of a new program or course? What should the content, depth, and r equ i r emen t s for courses be in S C E relative to simi lar ones offered in the day school?"

The area of admissions is concerned with the "outlook for enrollment in S C E " and the "interact ion between day and S C E admission and enrollment

functions." Overal l operations were also

considered: "What are the ob­jectives of the SCE? How do these fit in with the objectives of the school? Who should do the planning for S C E ? Should S C E have a separate identity or a more integrative one with the school? What is the role of the Senate in regard to the S C E ? "

When asked if a good solution to these problems would be to make a uniform policy for both the day and night schools, Mecca pointed out that though there would be advantages , there were a lso many drawbacks.

F o r example, if the tuition policy were the same for the evening school student as it is for the day student now, many people would not be able to attend S C E , he stated.

They would go to another school which was cheaper. Mecca speculated, and if they did pay such a tuition price, they would be r eg i s t e r ed as fu l l - t ime students. This would be an im­possible situation, because these people would be obliged to carry a ful l load of work in addition to working full time, as the majority of night school students do, he stated.

However, as mentioned before, there a r e advantages . A n example given by Mecca was in the area of academic operations.

While there is much difficulty involved in either having a new course in t roduced into the curr i cu lum or having one phased out in the day school, Mecca pointed out that the evening school encounters few obstacles in the same area.

A c c o r d i n g to P e a r s o n , the difference in the tuition rates for the day and night schools " i s due to logistical differences. A l l they (students of the SCE ) get is in­struction and the use of the l i b r a r y . They c an use the cafeteria and the Rathskel lar , but they must pay, the same as the day students.

In addition, Pearson stated, the difference in cost is because "colleges have had to develop their non-teaching faculties to compete w i t h other schoo ls . Tuition money is going to other areas than classroom support . " He added that the profit of the S C E goes in to the general operation of the day school.

In regards to the questions raised about the academics and faculties of the night school, Pearson stated that there is "no difference in qual i ty . " He also added that there are "no benefits for professors, except that if their chi ldren attend the night school, the courses are hal f-price."

Pearson went on to say that about 60 or 70 of the day school

f acu l ty t each at night . The remainder, he said, are referred to h i m ; the same cr i ter ia are required of them as of the day school faculty.

At this time, 262 day school students are registered in the night school. Pearson believes this to be a definite problem. He stated that his office does not know at the time of pre-registration which courses the S C E w i l l offer the following semester. Hence, a student can not plan on a certain course being offered.

There is also the possibility, Pearson added, of the course being cancelled, even though there is a sufficient number of people in the course. This hap­pens, he explained, because the professor is paid on the basis of the night school enrollment, and so the day students in a night class are not considered in the financial operations.

G r a p h s p r e p a r e d by the Committee on the S C E of the R.I . Population vs. Age and the -Median Years of School Com­pleted by Rhode Islanders show that night school education is on the rise, among other methods of learning. The graphs clearly indicate that there is an increase of people attending night school in the age groups 25-30 and 45-65 and that the level of education of each group is also expanding.

A c c o r d i n g to M e c c a , th is represents a great opportunity for the evening school, although it does indicate a slump for the day school.

He feels that the S C E should concentrate on its forthcoming oppor tun i t i es and p l a n i ts p r og rams to " b e e f u p " i ts strengths and p rov i d e adu l t service education needs through the considerations of such areas as education degree and oc­cupational ski l ls . At this time, there are over 1700 students enrolled in the S C E , and both Mecca and Pearson expressed their beliefs in its continued rapid growth.

Due to other commitments, Mecca has resigned as chairman of the Committee on the S C E . As of yet, no one has been appointed to fill that vacancy.

Being the exciting crowd it was, I found it interesting picking students from the "foreigners," or non-PC students. The "foreigners could be spotted by the general clapping of hands, stamping of feet, and having your basic good time.

PC students, however, seemed to be just sitting there con­templa t ing the h i s t o r i c a l , r e l i g ious , ph i l o soph i ca l , and literary importance of the music of today's society.

PC Profile: Nancy O'Hara Wednesday. September 2t, l t7 f

Things Working Out Well Player Profi le

By A l Pal ladino

Women's collegiate sports are definitely on the upswing and Providence College's women's athletic program is no exception. PC has instituted a new women's athletic center which has become very popular among the fe­males. One of the participants is this week's P C player profile, women's tennis captain, Nancy O'Hara.

" I can remember when the women's team was a joke. We couldn't even reserve the courts for pract ice , " remarked O'Hara.

A lifetime resident of Woburn, Massachusetts, Nancy attended Wobum High School. While there she captained her tennis team and also played field hockey and basketball. She showed her tennis prowess by being named M V P of her tennis team her junior and senior years. During her senior year, she decided on attending PC .

"I could have gone to a few bigger colleges," recalls O 'Hara, "Bu t I think I might have gotten lost. PC is a sma l l Catholic College where I can be something more than just a name. "

Her freshman year there were a few matches but nothing of any great importance. However, last year things started rol l ing. There was a fal l and spring season and O'Hara was playing the best tennis of her life, as evidenced by an 8-2 autumn record.

" M y mental attitude was the big part of my game last year , " says Nancy, " A positive attitude is70 per cent of tennis. With good confidence in your strokes, you can be very effective. My best stroke is mv backhand because I have the most confidence in it. I tend to hesitate rushing the net but a l l I need is a little confidence and I ' l l be a l l set."

r

P C , Brown Schedule 3 Hoop Doubleheaders

This year, O 'Hara is no longer the number-one player but it hasn't affected her dedication at all. She has set up her own schedule for staying in shape.

" I run a mile every day to keep my muscles l imber , " O 'Hara states. " D u r i n g the winter I try to play a lot of squash to keep my reflexes quick. I don't consider myself a natural player so I really work hard. So far it has paid off."

Dur ing the summer O'Hara kept herself busy by working as a recreational director during the day and at night she was a tennis instructor.

"Things at P C have really worked out we l l , " comments O'Hara. "Now if we can get a few more tennis courts everything would be perfect."

Nancy O 'Hara has become captain through hard work and loads of determination. As she puts it, "W i th confidence and concentration, I can't go wrong. "

m Providence College and Brown

Un i v e r s i t y w i l l p lay three doubleheaders in baske tba l l , announced PC hoop coach and athletic director Dave Gavitt as well as Brown A D Bob Seiple announced last week.

The program wi l l start on December 4, when P C hosts Purdue University, while Brown meets Dav idson Col lege . On January 5, the F r i a r s w i l l play St. Joseph's and the Bruins wi l l entertain Manhattan. Providence

clashes with UMass January 8 while Brown meets Ivy League foe, Ya le . In a l l twinbills, Brown wi l l play at 7 p.m., followed by F r i a r s ' games at 9 p.m.

The doubleheaders wi l l come at no extra cost, and is part of the season-ticket offering for both schools. Ticket prices for the twinbills are $3.25 and $4.25. Tickets for the doubleheaders wil l be sold at PC , Brown and the Civ ic Center.

Rhode Island Nets Lady Friars, 4-1

By Ned Ci immlskey

The P rov i d ence Co l lege women's tennis team began its 1976-77 season aga inst the University of Rhode Island last Thursday and gave it their best, but U R I prevailed, 4-1.

The only bright spot of the day came when freshman Sue Hubbs defeated URI ' s Mary Kummerof , 6-3, 6-2. Hubbs, from Dixon, Illinois, turned in a great effort to give P C its only victory in the first singles match.

In the second singles match,

another freshman, Mary Ann McCoy from West wood, Mass., took her first set, 7-5, but then lost the next two.

U R I is one of the best teams in New Eng land this year and probably the toughest squad that P C w i l l face a l l season. This year's P C team is made up of two freshmen, two juniors, and three sophomores. With such a young team, the future for women's tennis at P C looks promising. This week the team plays Bryant College and wi l l try to even up its record.

Stiff Competition, Course Stymie Friar Golfers

Page II

By John Mullaney

It had a l l the characteristics of a golf course golfers usually dread - tr icky greens, large lakes, woods, narrow fairways, and frightening sand dunes.

"It was the type of course, " said golf coach Joe P r i s c o , " on which you could have been traveling along at even par, and then could have gotten a 10 or 11 on one hole . "

It was on that kind of course that the P C varsity golf team played this past weekend at Ya l e U n i v e r s i t y i n New H a v e n , Connecticut. The occasion was the 1976 Ya l e Invitational Golf Tournament and it brought together some of the best in the East .

Such golfing powers as North Carol ina State, the University of M iam i , UMASS , Central Con­

necticut, and Temple were on hand to tee off Fr iday and, for a young an inexperienced P C golf team, that spelled trouble.

On top of that, Kenny Cook, who is one of the team's top players, was unable to par­ticipate in the golfing weekend due to exams on Fr iday . Right from the beginning, therefore, the odds were against the F r i a r s .

On opening day of the tourney, PC got off to a bad start. Com­bating a slight wind and an un­famil iar course, the F r i a r five finished with a total of 339 strokes, (the worst score of the five was dropped).

On Saturday, wether conditions improved, and so did the F r i a r s ' score. They finished the day with a total of 321 strokes, good enough to move the team up in the standings from 13th to 11th place.

On Sunday, however, the Fr iars could not duplicate their previous day's effort, as they finished the 18-hole course this time with a total of 334, just good enough to see them through to an l lth-place finish in the tourney.

Temple University, defending champions in the tournament, once aga in comple t ed the competition in top place. They finished with a combined total of 916 strokes, two ahead of second place North Carol ina State.

The Fr ia rs , who completed tryouts this week, wi l l be com­peting in two matches this week. The first one wi l l be against Holy Cross and Assumption today at the P l easan t V a l l e y Country Club. The other set of competition for the squad wi l l be this coming Fr iday at the Toski Invirational Tournament in Amherst, Mass.

Karate Kids Captivate Crowd By J i m " D i g g e r " O'Donnell

Last Thursday night in '64 Ha l l of S lav in Center there was a karate exhibition put on by students of the Tae Kwon Do School of Karate.

John Sena and Pa t Cavaliere, both first degree black belts, put together the exhibition with the assistance of five other karate students of lesser degrees.

Sena, a four-year student of karate, was taught by Robert J . Cooper. Cavaliere, also a four-year veteran, was a student of Ta Hee Y i .

The goal of the exhibition was to promote interest in a karate class here at P C to be taught by Sena and C a v a l i e r e , both qualified teachers of the art.

The evening began with brief calisthenics by the group. Then Sena captivated the crowd of about 75 with an exhibition of both self-defense and at tack methods in a two-minute d r i l l . The program then turned to the-speed and strength of the sport as Caval iere proceeded to split a brick with a series of karate chops. Sena followed with a demons t ra t i on of speed and concentration as he broke four sets of 2 -inch boards in suc­cession with timely punches.

The c r owd was then en­tertained by Sena and Cavaliere as they contact-sparred together showing different techniques of attack and defense. The program then ended with a question-and-

answer period and a discussion of the details of the class. The class wil l cost {30 and run about a semester, meeting twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7-9 p.m.

Vote November 2 John Sena, a black belt In karate, exhibits his form.

Soccer Team Swamps Assumption — . . — . . . . P l n v titraoH alnnnu as naoh Keith flellfirnrcA marie it ft-0 -™" By A l Pal ladino

The F r i a r s , led by the shutout goa l tend ing of M i k e Magee r eg i s t e r ed the i r t h i r d con­secut ive soccer t r i u m p h by beat ing A s s u m p t i o n , 7-0, on Saturday.

Providence took the offensive immediately and Peter Drennan scored on a rebound of a blocked shot at the 21 second mark. Drennan, playing with an injured thigh, took the rebound of his own shot and knocked it in the upper left-hand corner.

P C ' s second goal was a gift f r om A s s u m p t i o n ne tm inde r Mike Blanchard. Pete Roman made an excellent pass to Kev in Broui l land in the middle of the field, thirty yards out. Broui l land unloaded a low shot w h i c h Blanchard made the in i t ia l stop on but allowed to tr ickle in at 3:09.

One Birdie Kills Tie

By Mike David

Sometimes shooting a winning score may not always be enough, as was shown recently last Thursday at the Louis Quisset Country Club. The team of Tony G i lmard and T i m O'Nei l were declared the winners in the Team Best B a l l Tournament held on September 23.

Actual ly the duos of B i l l F a y and Pau l Fa r r e l l , and M ike Cuddy and J i m O 'Br ien , also carded s imi la r scores of six over

K r 75 which init ial ly shared top nors. However , a f ter m a t c h i n g

scorecards, under the P .G.A. system, G i lmaro and O'Nei l were named the winners because of their birdie on the first hole. The adverse w indy cond i t ions p robab l y c on t r i bu t ed to the abnormally high scores that were registered.

The P r o v i d e n c e Co l l ege Athletic Board, sponsors of this event, also plans to hold a Co-ed Best B a l l Tournament to be held during the first week of October. Information on this event w i l l be forthcoming.

P lay turned sloppy as each team was ted passes con­sistently. Roman fanned on a golden oppor tun i t y and J i m Rabadan missed an open net from a scramble in front of the net. Rabadan f inally d id put the ball i n the goal on a picture-perfect pass across the goal mouth by Broui l land. It was Rabadan's sixth goal of the young season.

The F r i a r ' s made it 4-0 on a score by J i m McCartney at 23:22. Chuck Pett igrove led McCartney with a short pass and he let go with a high hard one.

The game turned very phys ica l for the remainder of the first half. A fight broke out but referees were able to cool things down.

The second half had Assump­tion applying the early pressure. They had some good scoring chances but Pat Fa r r e l l and Ky le Hu t ch ins made some key clearing k icks.

Roman set up Providence's fifth goal by coming down the center and snuffling off a pass to P e t t i g r o v e whose left- footer easily heat Blanchard.

Keith Dellarocco made it 6-0 when he stuck a line dr ive in the r i ght c o rne r and M c C a r t n e y finished things off at 43.06 on a shot from the middle of field.

" E v e n though we w o n " , commented Coach B i l l Doyle, "we played lousy. Assumption just doesn't have a good bal l club and we should have passed a lot better. U R I won't let us get away with i t " .

E a r l i e r i n the week, P C defeated Rhode Island College, 3-0. Rabadan scored two goals and freshman Kev in Coffey chipped in with another.

Big Fr iar Second Hal f Sinks Hartford, 12-6

Kevin Brou i l l a rd takes a swipe at the elusive spheroid. P C k i c k e d A s s u m p t i o n where It counts, winning 6-0.

By Mark Higgins

After last week's defeat at the hands of Jersey Ci ty State, P C ' s club football team evened up their record at 1-1 wi th a 12-6 victory over the Univers i ty of Hartford.

P r e v i o u s l y , a ga ins t J e r s e y City, the F r i a r s actual ly beat themselves with some costly turnovers which the boys from the Garden State took advantage of to rack up 21 points in the second half.

But such was not the case against Hart ford as sophomore quarterback M ike Lee remedied the F r i a r s ' "second-half b lues " by eng inee r ing two s c o r i n g drives in the third quarter to break a scoreless f irst half, giving Providence their f irst

victory. After a first half which was

dominated by strong defense on both s ides , L ee moved P r o v i d e n c e into H a r t f o r d territory by using his favorite receiver, senior Jack Marsha l l , to gain big yardage.

P C moved methodically down to H a r t f o r d ' s n ine - ya rd l i ne where Lee promptly handed off to tailback M a r k Tidgewel l , who sl iced through for the touchdown. M i k e Sanza ro ' s k i c k f a i l ed , mak ing the score 6-0.

Hartford took the ensuing kick-off but couldn't move against the P C defense and was forced to punt away. Lee then proceeded to m a r c h the F r i a r s downf i e ld again to the Hart ford two-yard Hue. F r o m there he took it in

himself for the six points. The conversion attempt was no good but P C was s t i l l i n command, 12-0.

The F r i a r defense played well a l l afternoon and they did an excellent job in protecting the 12-0 edge. But their hopes for a shutout disappeared as Hartford q u a r t e r b a c k Joe Benvenuto flipped a 20-yard scoring str ike to wide receiver pete sa lmon. Since there were only minutes remaining, Hartford was forced to go for the two points, but the attempt was quickly snuffed out by the F r i a r defense making the final score 12-6.

The F r i a r s w i l l be hoping to

fa in t h e i r second w i n next unday as they face Worcester

State College with a kick-off t ime of 1:30 at Hendricken F i e l d

The F r i a r ' s next game Is against U R I today in Kingston.

I N J U R Y R E P O R T : Pe ter Roman sustained a dislocated elbow but should be ready for Rhody . M i k e L i n d g r e n has stomach pains and is now un­dergoing tests at Roger Wil l iams Hospital. A l lan Doyle has a bruised ankle but the injury is considered not serious.

Tennis Splits By Mike Cal lahan

P C ' s men ' s tennis team competed in the E C A C Division II Tournament over the weekend. Gary Mailoy, a junior, and fresh­man Peter Lyons were the two singles players for the Fr iars , while Chris McNe i l and Neil O ' H u r l a y represented the doubles team.

McNe i l and O'Hurley lost their f irst round 6-4, 7-5, to a strong New Hampshire twosome who came in first last year.

However, Lyons was in form, winning the first round of the singles competion by defeating T i m Peterson of UConn. Lyons did not fare as wel l , however, against the fifth-seed singles draw from Temple College and lost the match, 6-3, 6-3.

To wrap up the scoring in the tournament, Mai loy had a default in his first round. The team as a s to le scored a total of nine points for a l l the rounds in the tour­nament.

The team, which had a very r espec tab le 7-3 r e co rd last season, appears to be headed for an even better record this year. One reason for such an op­timistic outlook is that the Fr iars have a l l but one of their players back f r om las t year . F u r ­thermore, there are three or four promising freshmen who could be of immeasurable worth later in the y ea r . The team's regular season schedule gets under way today.

Charles Pettegrove makes his way to the ball Saturday. After beating Assumption before about 150 people, it appears that the 3-4 F r i a r s are starting soccer fever on Smith H i l l .
