tion for the Peace Corps, delivered a lecture Tuesday on the freedom of speech of members of the Peace Corps. To further enhance student understanding of the role of a volunteer, a movie, depicting the Peace Corps in action, was shown in the Guild Room of Alumni on Monday afternoon. For those who feel a desire to possibly serve as Peace Corps volunteers, a thirty minute Modern Language Aptitude Test will be given on Wednesday in Harkins Hall and McDermott Hall. Perhaps the most enlightening event of Peace Corps Week was the film, "Give Me a Riddle," shown on Monday in the Guild Room. The film concerned the return of a former volunteer to the area of his work, Nigeria. Through conversations with friends made during his stay in Nigeria and present Peace Corps volunteers and trips to several Nigerian villages, a realistic portrayal of the actual work of a volunteer was conveyed to the student audience. The film revealed the frustrations, satisfactions, and problems which work their way into the life of a volunteer. "Give Me a Riddle" is an at (Continued on Page 7)

PC Hosts Peace Corps For Annual Recruiting Peace Corps Week came to Providence College on Monday, February 12. Representing the Peace Corps were Miss Jeanne Calamari and Mr. Michael Jerald, both former volunteers. Miss Calamari, a graduate of the College of New Rochelle, served in Nigeria from 1964-66. Mr. Jerald, a graduate of U.R.I., spent his two year term from 1965-67 in Turkey The two are now conducting an eight month recruitment drive for the Peace Corps on various college campuses. The campus visit is the primary recruitment method and ordinarily the Peace Corps requests permission to come on campus twice a year at the larger schools and once a year at the smaller schools. Providence College has supplied several people to the Peace Corps in the past. The Peace Corps Week centered around four main features. An information center was set up in Alumni Lounge where Miss Calamari and Mr. Jerald distributed informative literature and answered the questions of interested students. In order to broaden the student's knowledge of the Peace Corps volunteer, Mr. Joseph Farreil, Director of Selec-

elected to the City Council of Phoenix on a "reform ticket." In 1952 he launched a hard driving campaign to defeat the Democratic Senatorial incumbent, then majority leader of the U. S. Senate. In a startling upset, Goldwater won. He easily won re-election in 1958. In the United States Senate, Goldwater was the senior Republican on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee and its key Preparedness Subcommittee, which oversees our nation's defenses. He also served three terms as chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. Former Senator Goldwater is a World War II A i r Force veteran. Now retired as an officer in the A i r Force Reserve, he has logged over 9,000 hours of flying time in jet and convential aircraft. Besides being an experienced lawmaker and a much soughtafter speaker, former Senator Goldwater is the author of three best selling books, the latest of which is Where I Stand. Until recently, former Senator Goldwater also wrote a nationally syndicated political column. The fact that he has given it up has led some political observers to believe that he will run for the Senate against incumbent Democrat Carl Hayden. Goldwater will appear under the management of Harry Walker, Inc., a National Booking Agency. His fee for the evening's work is $2,500.

Brian Mahoney Chosen As New COWL Editor

Brian Mahoney has been named editor of the Cowl for the 1967-68 academic year. Mahoney, a junior Humanities major from Beverly, Mass., is the present News Editor of The Cowl. He joined the Cowl staff as a sophomore and served for a short period as Feature Edi tor before assuming his present duties upon the resignation of Joseph McAleer in October, 1967.

Gerald Feeley, editor of the Cowl, speaking in behalf of the Executive Board, said that "on the basis of the fine job that Brian has done in his capacity as News Editor, we feel that the Cowl will improve in quality and stature under his editorship. "The fact that the Cowl has increased in size and depth this year is due largely to Brian's competence." On his appointment, Brian commented that "the responsibilities of the Cowl editor are many, and, I suppose, whether the Cowl is good, bad, or indifferent will depend largely on my administrative and journalistic abilities. But while it's easy to blame or praise the figurehead, the fact must not be overlooked that the collective abilities of the members of the edi torial board and the staff reporters will most directly affect the overall content of the Cowl." "The Editorial Board, which will be announced shortly, is shaping into what I feel is a remarkably competent group of men. But the reporting staff looms a big question mark. The present staff will be decimated by graduation, and in many cases, by the attraction of high ranking positions in other organizations on campus." The 1965 graduate of St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers, Mass., continued by saying that "anyone seriously interested in Providence College and in the Cowl's place in

Senior Gift To Be Divided The Senior Class Gift Committee has decided that the program for the payment of the pledge will be divided by concentrations. In a meeting with Mr. William Nero, Director of Annual Giving, last week the co-Chairmen of the Committee decided that a senior from each concentration will be selected to serve on the Committee. Previous to their meeting with Mr. Nero, Thomas Healy and William Hanley, co-Chairmen of the Committee, met with Fr. Walter Heath, O.P., who was the moderator of the Class of 1964, the first class to initiate the pledge program. The purpose of the meeting was to learn more about a program of this type.

Congress Nominations Open Mar. 18, Executive Office Elections Mar. 28 The dates for nominations and elections were announced at the Student Congress meeting on Monday night. Nominations for the executive offices, those of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, will be held from March 18-27 and the speeches of all the candidates will be given on March 27. The election of Student Congress officers has been scheduled for March 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Alumni Hall. Class officer and Student Confress representative nominations will be open between March 25 and March 29. Elections will be held from April 2-4 for the classes of 1969, 1970, and 1971, respectively. Congressman Kevin Newman '68 introduced permanent legislation which, if passed, will change the qualifications for office. The legislation proposed that a candidate maintain a 2.0 average for the semester immediately preceding the election. Also, it will be necessary for the candidate to obtain personal qualifications from Mr. Newton's office. This legislation will be voted on at the next meeting of the Congress. A bill sponsored by the Chairman of the Student Congress Ways and Means Committee, Brian Maher '68, was passed unanimously. This bill prevents a candidate for office from with-

drawing after nominations have closed. New Business produced three other pieces of legislation, all of which were passed. James Borges, a junior Congressman, proposed that a letter be sent to Fathers James Murphy, VicePresident for Student Relations, and John Cunningham, Director of Residence, requesting that they objectively interpret the rule regarding personal appearance of the student. As stated in the student handbook, the rule says that beards, moustaches, and hair must be "neat and well groomed." Mr. Borges suggested that this does not apply to the length or style of hair and therefore requested that a letter be sent pointing out this fact. It passed unanimously. The Congress voted to allow the Camera Club to hold a raffle in order to pay for the cost of a photographic exhibition to be held in Alumni Hall from April 7-10. Mr. Joseph Morrissey, President of the Class of 1970, introduced the legislation and along with the President of the Class of 1969, James Montague, the objections to the bill were combated. In behalf of Peter Gallogly, President of the Class of 1968, John Champeau introduced legislation which will allow Senior Date Dances to be held regularly, disregarding any con(Continued on Page 8)

Exhibit, Film, M u s i c D u e For A r t s W e e k M a r c h 4-8 Reverend William P. Haas will be on hand March 4 to open a weeklong program of artistic presentations. Entitled " A Week of the Creative Arts — Contrasts in Sight and Sound," the program will run from Monday, March 4 to Friday, March 8. The tentative schedule for the week's activities calls for an exhibit of paintings, sculptures, and drawings to be held in Alumni Lounge from Monday to Friday. Fr. Haas, whose works will appear in the exhibit, will open it at 8 p.m. on Monday. Later in the evening, about 9:30 p.m., the Glee Club will give a short concert in the Lounge. Artists whose works will be shown include Fr. R. A. McAlister, O.P., James Baker, Gail Baker, John DeMelim, Mary DeMelim, Larry Blovits, and Fr. Haas. These artists will be on hand to explain their works and to discuss them with all who are interested. Some of the works will be for sale.

Because of the basketball game on March 5, only the exhibit will be held on Tuesday. The plans for the remaining part of the week, Wednesday to Friday, call for a band concert, a presentation of jazz music, a film, and poetry readings by students. The John Chiodini Trio, a jazz group, will present an "Evening of Contemporary Music" which will be sponsored by the Jazz Club. "La Dolce Vita," the award winning Italian film, will be shown in Albertus 100 during this week, but as yet the date has not been finalized. After the film, Dr. John Hennedy of the English Department will lead a discussion of it. Fr. Richard A . McAlister, O.P., of the Fine Arts Center, said that the purpose of this week is to provide "an opportunity for all members of the college community to share in the artistic endeavors of various members of the community. Students, faculty, and others not directly associated with the college will be exhibiting their

U. Mass Sociology Professor to Discuss Moral Aspects of War The Providence College Student Congress will present Gordon C. Zahn, professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts, on March 6 at 8 p.m., in Aquinas Lounge. Mr. Zahn, a noted speaker on the religious, moral, and sociolo-

He also has received post-doctoral fellowships and grants from the Social Science Research Council (Harvard), the Fulbright Research Council (Germany), the American Philosophical Society (Austria), and the Simon Research Society (England). In addition, Mr. Zahn is currently president of the American Catholic Sociological Society, and is a sponsor or officer of SANE, PAX, the Catholic Peace Fellowship, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. According to Robert Mclntyre and Ralph Paglieri, co-chairmen of the Student Congress War Speakers' Committee, Mr. Zahn's talk should "be an interesting parallel to the Goldwater speech of February 25."

creative expressions for the benefit of all those at Providence College." Oral Interpretation The oral interpretation group formed last week by Mr. John Di Gaetani has rapidly taken form. The debut of the group, presently consisting of eight PC students and soon to include several girls from Rhode Island College and Salve Regina, will be Wednesday evening, March 6. The program will consist of readings from the works of T. S. Eliot and readings by their authors of several poems which appeared in the latest ALEMBIC.

New Committee Makes Changes Three major changes in campus life were made last semester through the efforts of the Committee on Resident Life. The five member committee, which meets once a week and discusses problems brought to its attention through the various student groups on campus, has achieved these changes: (1) the removal of the senior curfew; (2) television sets in the rooms, and (3) a moderate relaxation in the dress rules for the Raymond Hall dining area. The possibility of parietals, women being allowed visiting privileges in the dormitories, has not as yet been discussed by the Committee. According to Fr. John F. Cunningham, O.P., Director of Residence, the topic has not even been brought up. After the Committee has discussed a topic, a report is made along with any recommendations. A copy is then sent to Fr. James Murphy, Vice-President for Student Relations, and Fr. William P. Haas. Both of these men study the reports and the recommendations of the Committee and then Fr. Haas decides what action is to be taken.

Jazz Magazine 'RIFF' Growing; To Broaden Content in Future GORDON ZAHN gical aspects of war, will speak on "War, Conscience, and Dissent." Mr. Zahn has published the best-selling German Catholics and Hitler's Wars, plus In Solitary Witness: The Life and Death of Franz Joagerstatter, War, Conscience, and Dissent, and What is Society? In preparation is his upcoming book, Pastors in Uniform: The Military Chaplaincy as a Role in Tension. This is in addition to contributions to other volumes and various journals, including a chapter on Catholic higher education in Roszak's The Dissenting Academy and the editorship of Readings In Sociology. Before coming to the University of Massachusetts, Mr. Zahn was professor of Sociology at Loyola University. He received his B.A. from the College of St. Thomas (St. Paul, Minn), and his M A . and Ph.D. from Catholic University of America.

To bring a wider perspective of modern music to students, implemented through critical articles, art and various features concerning jazz and rock, is the purpose of Riff, the official publication of the Providence College Jazz Club. The magazine was founded last year by John A . Dormán, the present editor, and Mark Michael, associate editor, both members of the junior class. Other members of the staff include David Byrne, '68, Riff art editor; and Raymond Donnelly, '69, technical editor. Mention should also be given to Mr. Robert Vernon, Program Director for the Providence YMCA, who prints the publication for minimal charges. The magazine, having a circulation of five to six hundred, with fifty paying subscribers outside the campus, is limited only by money, coming out whenever financial conditions allow.

While the two issues have been published so far this year, members of the club would like to see it appear on a monthly basis. Riff is the only magazine or publication of its kind O P campus — supported, printed and edited solely by students. Besides students, articles for the magazine come from members of the faculty, such as Rev. George Concordia, O.P., faculty advisor to the Jazz Club, and Dr. Rodney K. Delasanta. Riff has recently expanded its policy to include "rock," in an effort to gain a wider reading audience. Says Dormán, "we try to give the reader a diverse musical sensibility." Future activities of the Jazz Club include more issues of Riff before the school year ends ind a concert featuring guitarist John Chiodini on March 7, as part of Fine Arts Week.

DES to Honor Fr. R. J. Gardner The Reverend Royal J. Gardner will receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Delta Epsilon Sigma on April 6, 1968. Delta Epsilon Sigma, National Scholastic Honor Society for Alumni, Faculty, and Students in Catholic Colleges and Universities, will grant the award to Fr. Gardner and to Rt. Rev. William J. O'Donnell. Fr. Gardner is the Prior of St. Thomas Aquinas Priory at Providence College, and Fr. O'Donnell is Vice-President and Academic Dean of St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minnesota.
