ARTS CENTER DATE SET;
LAND CLEARING BEGUN
By ~.IARY JO NORTON
With ground ~tearing under·
way. Commencement "67'' is the
target date Cor compleLion of the
Arls Center, according to Sister
~agdalen, chalrman ol the Art
Deportment.
Designed b)' the Detroit archl·
tectural firm of CiJTels and Ros·
etti, "with const:ant thought for
the student" says Sister Magda·
len, the Arts Cen ter is compleh!·
ly air conditioned and includes ::.
1100 seat auditorium. the art.
speech and music departments
and lecture and seminar rooms
lor all students.
Chief designer. Gino Roselli,
was struck by the natural beauty
of the front of the campus and
envisions the Arts Center as cen·
trally la<:oted, "11estled into the
ideal natural setting ... enhancing
not obstructing or detracting
from the view of the Administra·
tion or Library, buildings. because
it is to 6e set lower. Red brick
will be used in keeping with the
present style but " The nature of
the building demat'lds a change in
desltrn". sAYs Sister Magdal~n .
The whole north wall will be grey
glass (less glaring) betouse the
art students require no·rth light.
The two great gnarled oak trees
in front ot the bu51ding will even·
tually stand in Lhe center of a
pedestrian moll surrounded by
park benches. There will be inner
and outer courtyards for relax·
ation. One practical reason for
having the Arts Center on front
campus is that ten minute class
breaks can be maintained with
all classes in close proximity.
The stage in the auditorium wHI
project out enabling the audience
to sit at a 180 degree angle
around it. Seating will be
"dished", which means sloping
toward both the center of the
Council Grants
Smoker Moneys
Student Council has appropri·
oted an additional $200 toward
the refurnishing ol the campus
commuter smoker. The first or·
der of furniture amounted to
$990.65. This sum was partiaUy
paid !or by funds received as a
result of closing .accounts of two
former clubs.
As was expected, this original
order of furniture did not ade·
quately fill the room. The re·
decoration commtttee, with Mary
Jane Roney '67 as chairman pro·
oeeded with plans and ordered
additional furniture. This seeond
order will include three tables
and o few Omni poles. These
poles will serve a dual purpose
ol lighting and of concealing" the
windows by me011s ol the bulle·

schemes have not yet been de·

there arc h\o'O Jarge general
dressing rooms and two pri\•ate
dressing rooms for stars. along
with a costume room and green
room. The gr·cen room. where the
cast waits their cues, will also
serve as an informal lecture
lounge !oHowing guest lectures.
Student art displays will be on
exhibit in the Auditorium Coyer.
··one of the most interestin~
features of the building and of
educational value for aU students
is the glass wall alone the South

Council Accepts
Policy on Funds
A new financiaJ po1icy has been
passed by Student Council. The
policy read.s: "The chairman of
any special event involving
Underg.raduate Association funds,
who wishes to sign a contract in
excess or $150. will report !or
approval to the moderator, presi·
dent and treasurer of Student
Council prior to any financial
committment. The request may
be re.lerred to Student Council
for decision at the discretion of
the treasurer ...
This is in contrast to the for·
mer pOlicy which required only
the appro\'al of th'e treasurer of
the Undergraduate Association.
as stated in the Constitution of
the Undergraduate Association
(article VJD, Sections 1 and 2):
"Apportionment of student funds
shall be made to various associ·
aUons, classes, clubs etc., in the
college by the treasurer ol the
Undergraduate AssociaUon upen
authorization ol the Student Coun·
cit All associations. classes.
clubst etc., which desire appro·
priations from the student funds
shall make appJication tor same
to Student Council through the
treasurer of the Undergraduate
Association.''
The immediate cause lor this
change in Onancia1 policy was
that the mission concert went
into debt. By making the triple
approval of the moderator. presi·
dent and treasurer of Student
Council necessary. the Under·
graduate Association hopes to
avoid such financial indebtedness.

One Last Word
The big problems tolked about on the
Naureth campus this semester have a ll been
lumped together u nder the somewhat limit­ing
label, "Student Freedom." The NFCCS
panel discussion was excellent. We were
especiolly impressed with the openness and
sincerity of the panel re presentative from
D'Youville College.
During the discussion this representa­tive,
Mary Margaret McDonald stated the
situation of her particular college; they have
all those privileges that students title " free­dom,"
but the freedom is not being used.
It is such a situation that may occur at
Nazareth College, if we don't discuu the
questions of 1tudent freedom with our eyes
wide open-it's going to take work. Talk is
all very fine for clea ring t he air and estab­lishing
some sort of foundation to work on,
but it is only a preliminary step. There will
be no g reat evidence of student freedom un­til
more students act freely.
How many girls have offered their serv­ices
to the Student Coorinator o{ Academic
Affairs to aid in solving academic problems?
Why is it so difficult to find girls willing
to tutor? U students find they do not have
sufficient chance for discussion during class
J•l!riods, why not start an informal all·stu­dent
seminar to discuss the course? Why do
so tcw girls take time to wdte a Jetter to
Gleaner about those things which they feel
strongly?
The fi rst and final answer to each and
every one of these q uestions usua lly runs
along t he lines of " I don't have the time."
But, consider this: every solution that stu·
dents •uggest in the area of student free­dom
requi res time. It req uires t ime to pre·
pare for stimulat ing courJes; time fo r the
outside reading that is necessary to foster a
truly intellectual atmosphere; time to think
things through so that making use of a par­ticular
" freedom" doesn't impinge on any·
one e lse's freedom.
Complaints are made that the gap be­tween
our academic world and our enter·
tainment is too wide; that there is no intel·
lectual atmosphere. What are we going to
do about it? Can we wait for the faculty to
make us think clearly? Can they ever?
One comment during the NF ponel was
particularly pertinent to this idea: "If Cath­olic
college students are to be leaders, they
should not be led through college," Some­body
start leading. Somebody get intellec·
tua l.
The fact that we have begun to talk in
these areas indicates that people are really
thinking about ways to get a better educa­t
ion and t his is g reatl Gleaner is Impatient,
what happens next?
Commuter Vote
Gleaner is st ill of the opinion that Resi·
dent President and Commuter Board Chair·
man should not have a voting status on
Student Council.
Most of the arguments in favor of grant­ing
a vote to Commuter Board Chairman are
based on the fact that Resident President
bas a vote and since Commuter Board Chair·
man is an equally important position, it
should also have a vote. We sti ll do not agree
that this is sufficient reason to add another
vote to an already large Student Council
We feel that the granting of Student Coun­cil
vote bas b ecome to many Council mem­bers
more of a reward for services rendered
than a necessity for future functioning of
offices.
Neither Reside nt Council or Commuter
Board Chairman need to be on Council. They
do or should have sufficient authority to
GLEANER
handle their offices independent of Council.
Furthermore, Student Council do,es not
need the vote of either of -these offices. It
has been stated that these offices represent
one aspect of the student body-but they
are the same stude nts. Students are repre­sented
on Council by virtue of their mem·
bership in the student body, not by virtue of
their resident or commuter status. How
many times do students need to be repre·
sented? Woultl not an added representative
seem to indicate that class representatives
are not adequate'! We are of the opinion
that two class representatives are quite
adequate .
S. C. President
On Christmas
There Is a profound simplicity in the child's
de\'otHm at Christmas. On this da)' mo~ th.an on
any other, Ole child can spealc to Jesus best, and
eon feel closest to Him. Por on Christmas, Cod
enters Ole world of the child in the Person of a
tiny Babv. A child loves this feast. because on this
dny he can almost "touch" Cod. We see him reach·
lng for the fieure of the Babe in the manger.
As adult Christians reOecting on the meaning
of the lncamalion. we wou1d do well to approach
this mystery as the child does. On Christmas, Cod
enters our world, the world of the ndult in 1005,
in the person of a human being. This is the mean.
ing of the lneamatioo. Cod beromes man. DivWty
becomes joined to humanity. The sacred enters the
realm of the secular. With the Incarnation, God
Joins Himself to Ole world. Cod speaks His Word
to men throuuh the world. And His Word sancliliu
this world. Thus. we can see the Incarnation as the
child <lou-as a time when Christ e.nt.ers and joins
himself to UJ and to our world. \
What is the significance of the Incarnation to the
layman? The Constitution on the Church expresses
It in the chapter on the role of the laity in the
Church. No lonaer can the layman see his world as
something evil, to be: feared and a\·oidtd. He must,
instead. reco,nite the presence or the lncamate
Cod in his world. The layman must look to the
Word of Cod In the Incarnat ion, the word whkh Is
spoken in and to the world. The layman or today
must also speak tbe word or Cod In and to the
world. The layman must accept the world sandl·
fie<! by the Incarnate Cod. Be m.at continue to
make it holy by his action and presence in it.
As Cotholics, in the age of Vatican II , we can·
net afford to simply gaze at the Star or BethlehPm,
and appreciate its far-of! beauty. We must look
from that Star to the world which It illuminates.
And we must ac:eept our mission to continue bring·
ing its light to the world. As collegiate laywomen,
we bring ils Iicht to the world in many ways­in
an encounter with a stranger on a bus, in a
well done essay, in the deep thought which follows
a lecture, at a collefiate foreign students party, in
a debate on Viet Nam. lt is important for us to
know that each o.l us hos in herself a certain
"light" to iive to the world. It is our r<sponsibilily
as Christians to reveal Ole light U.at is ourselve.s to
the world.
CommiHee Reports
Policy and Problem
PERIODICALS
At the November meeting of the Students Com·
mittee for the Library several points of generol In·
terest were discus~. Of most immediate concern
was the servicing poliey for back-issues of periocSi·
eals shelved in the basement area of the Library.
As a result of the discussion tbe Library decided
to begin at once the ser vicing of this eolleetlon
three limes dolly instead of twice dally as had been
the practice. In addition It was arrance<l to hold at
tbe Reserve Desk issues o.l ~riodlcals shelved
do¥."11Stairs for whieh lbe~ was intensive demand
such as arises from a group assignment.
NOISE
There was also discuss ion of the "noise-ln-tbe·
library" problem. There Is no doubt U.at the noise
le•·el in the building bas risen more tban a few
decibels. In pan it is due to the great increase in
traffic: this with other physical factors assures
that this Library like all others will always have
a certain amount of noise. This is desirable in one
respe<l; i.l It were not, tbere would be 110 place
.lor firms such as Muzak. But the Committee wu
principally concerned with noise generated and
maintained by socializing of the kind which should
take place in the foyer. The Committee .felt that
Ole present .ae of the Ioyer for social purposes,
croup disc.asions, browsing and tbe like was good
and should be continued. but that many students
were being seriously i.nconvenienced by tbought·
Jess socialitlng In the Rending Room. What to do
about it Is another matter. Library staff is far too
busy on tbe one hand to attempt to coatrol any but
the mosl obvious situatloo.s. On the otber hand the
Commilee feels tbat since we are all adults the
problem should be solved without recourse to any
but adult meU.ods. The Committee would like to
see a reasonable degree o.l quiet maintained in the
Reading Room as a result of everyone being aware
of tbe common good, and feels tbat tbe best solu·
tlon to the .,noise·in·tbe·Ubrary" problem Ues in
an adult attitude that will derive from unobtrusive
student leadership in this area.

Letters • •
Dear Editor:
The first half of the NFCCS·
sponsored pa~1 discussion prov·
ed to be • genuine attempt to
appraise honestly thot ambiguous
term called student freedom and
also pursued Ole topic of intellee·
ruaHsm in Ole collegiate atmos·
phere. The second hnll did not
follow through as forcefully. Lit·
Ue by little, the overtones o.l NO%·
a reth's complacency, satislaC':lion
with the slow, safe methods crept
in a bit too frequently. It was ad­mitted
all over the place that we
had faults, but the faults alluded
to seemtd to be regarded as not
in the same category as those
under disunion. I disagree. There
sems to be a definite lack of an
intellectual atmosphere and stu·
dent freedom on the Nazareth
campus and I will substantiate
this statement with ~presenta ­tive
examples from my past two
years.
Part of the reason for the low
level of Intellectual stimulation
lies with the newspaper. In the
last is.sue of Gleaner only one a_r.
tiele mentioned a controversial
issue, and that was to repon that
NCR was sending Christmas
cards to Viet Nam. Too many ar·
ticles are devoted to wrlte.ups of
coming events and in the follow­ing
issue, write-ups of past
events. In the past issue the edi·
torials, which should be 1 power·
lu.l voice in student opinion. fint
invited all to Student Council and
secondly, urged the revamping of
buddy week as to hO\'e "lasting
memories of fun" and include
more formalized initiation so lbe
freshmen won't be "disappointed
when the promises of recitations
and performed pranks never ma­terialize.*'
H these are the pur.
ported ends of buddy wPrk . ran
we doubt the inherent lack of in·
tellec:tual stimulus!
The motto on the first page
reads ucleaner ls Your Voice­YoUr
Chance To Speak." How·
t\·er, last year. as upperclassmen
and particularly sophomores will
remember, alter an arUcle that
the administration frowned upon
appeared in the paper, the writer
bad to make a public apology to
her class for tbe article. Whether
Ole majority o.l the student dis·
favored the ideas expressed or
not, a more appropriate measure
would have bee.n a retort in
Gl.eant:r. However. admlnistration
coercion is a very eflecli•·e stiller.
A standard cliche that seems to
pop up whenever the need nrises
is that freedom and responsibility
have to be leune<l gradually.­Crante<
l. But last year residents,
instructed by Resident Council,
were supposedly to osk the rcsi·
dent advisor i.l the temperature
was cold enough to warrant the
wearing of slacks into Pittsford
because you'd be surpri~ at the
amount of compl:oints Ole school
gets from people In town. 1.1 the
residents cannot discern for
themselve$ on a noncontroversial
issue, what hope do we have that
NaureU. will ever permit her
student$ to engage In a slightly
more sophisticated topic.
A further evidence o.l the loek
of freedom and, indirectly, lack
of inteUectualism on campus is
the more recent mandatory stu.
dent's hour on Stephen May nod

cause Naureth tbougbt everyone

The problem can be put in a
nutshell: are the students made
to fit the college or wiU the col­lege
be made to fit the students?

Dear Editor:
In the last Issue of the Clelll<r
reference was made in a letter to
the editor to the efleet that those
students who did not attend llle
Four Lads concert did $0 "for no
real reason except apathy."
We are Inclined to acree that
the poor response was due 10 a
lack of interest in the entertain·
ment. We felt, as did n number
of students with whom we spoke,
thot the Pour Lacb wt.re an out·
dated group, whose ehooee or m ..
sica! seleetlons was definitely not I ours. However, to call this lack
of enthusiasm student ' 'opathy"
i.s an inappropriate u..se of the
ttrm. We wtre not indifferent lO
this endeavor of the Mission Unit ~1 at aU. On the contrary, we ,...
gretted that • group with reta.
lively little "box ofllce" appeal
at this lime had been secured to
bring in the .lunch lor sueh a
worthwhile cause as the missions.
By the time a student reaches
the college level she should not
be accused o.l apathy 1.1 she bas
made a free and dt.libente deci­sion.
Sincerely,
Dear Editor:

I attended the tbree one·aet
plays put on by Nuareth and SL
John Pisher November 12, 13, and
H. During and after the perform·
nnee r was very irritated and an·
noye<l at having wasted a.n en·
tire evening. I sincerely believe
U.at a lar1e part of tbe audience
could have been spared this lei·
down and disgusted attitude if
some type or orientation as to tbe
content a.nd what to ex,pect was
given beforehand. Then maybe
they would have at least gained
somethi.og. not lost an evening.
But without this preparation, they
seemed to me, the m0$1 incobtfr.
ent, senseless plays I had ever
S«D, and I left thorou8)oly cJis.
custed, never wanting to see an·
oilier.
The first one was about the
best, but the secood, especially,
was in poor taste, if for 110 othu
reason than not being able to see
it, since most of Ole acting was
done on the noor. The continuous
ring.ing was almost unbearable
especially to anyone unsltive to
shriU noises. I also saw no me.a;n.
ing in the pictures and musit'
shown before the second act.
The next day, as I was com·
plaining about the poor present•·
lion, I beard comments and ex·
planations on what it was sup.
posed to be aU about. Things be·
gan to make a Utile sense nnd I
began to realize tbat there really
was some meaning in the pla)'l
and thot tbere were mony wbo
U.orougb)y enjoyed them. But I
am writing this letter for those,
like mysel.l, who were unprcpar·
ed to receive the deep symboli<
meaning in them, which, 1.1 undtr·
stood, would have made II a val­uabJe

" For a Catholic college student to

and not know that this is a period

This repudiation of the ghetto
mentality and development of
trust in the Catholic student to
underatand truths for himself was
eonJidered by one speaker to be
essential for the future or the
ehureh. "If Catholi< college stu­dents
are to be leaders, they
should not be led through eol·

This, of tourse would present a
series of new problems to a Cath­olle
college whleh Is not used to
having person• with differing re·

pressed , however, was that the
Catholic college "must make

DEAN:
At the some time, Sister St.
Catherine held a similar coffee
hour lor students in her office.
Top I e s considered paralleled
those of the above discussion and
the openneu and enthusiasm of
Sister and studenu was iuJt as
exciting.
We all agreed that the seminar
or discussion mtthod was more
utiJiylng and beneficial to stu­dents
aod teachers alike.
Durins a disewsion of the "'cut
system" 11 Naureth College, Sis·
ter explained that she has not
made any statement at all eon­cemlng
1 "system of cuts ... This
has ~n left to the discretion of

The.re wu one sucgestion made
whieh met with enthusiasm from
Sisler and the majority of girls
present. The idea Includes month·
ly departmental meetings of stu·
denu and faculty to discuss sueh
things as euts and to reach a
fuller evaluation of learning with·
in the department.
The quuUon of student·faeulty
commwllcatlon was also discuss·
ed and it was felt that depart·
mental meetlnas would be a
Jreal help towards more .O.per.
atloo aod eommunlealion.
The overall Impressions of the
coffee hours were exeitlng. The
studenu felt as If they had gotten

Sister St. Catherine on a personal
level. Sister St. Catherine was
quite impressed with the manner

whether or not their personal de·
cisioo leaders lhcrn In that dlrec·
lion. 01 course, the question ean
always be raised, "Why continue
to attend a Catholic eo liege?"'
"II philosophy and theology ore
required courses they Jhould be
approached as independent Intel·
lectual researth." A student oom­ing
to a Catholic college certainly
expects to take Philosophy and
Theology eourses. If he Is • think­ing
Catholic he wants them to be
more than mere memorization
and ncitation. 1f the courses are
more than ••notebook" eoursts
they will stimulate him to make
his own decisions obout his faith.
In this ease. they are beneficial to
the full person and the emphasis
is placed on pcrsonnl ''research."
'"Instead or required philosophy
and theology courses there should
be required phllsophy and theol·
ogy hours.'" By the time a student
reaehes the last year• of college,
he Jbould have developed inter­ests
in spedlic a.reas of religion
or at least should be oble to
ehoose the areas !rom whith he
feels he will deri•e the most bene­fit.
U be can make this deeision,
he is more apt to be open to the
content of the course.
AnotheT view was expressed,
however. that If students are go­ing
through a period or Question­ing,
compulsory courses In proper
areas may help lhcm to rnnke n
final decision. If they were Jell to
their own decision they may miss
courses which explain the very
meaning of Christianity.
The Catholit Church as an
Intellectual Community
The majority of studenta and
panel members preHOt •creed to
the "latk of intelleetual eoneem
on Catholic campwes." There
we.re, however. HYtral views as
the reasons behind this apparent
lac.k of intellectuality In the spe·
eific colleges present.
One opinion was that the major.
ity of students, particularly girls,
attending the represented colleges
were !rom Jimllar middle class
economic backgrounds. They have
few monetary r esponsibilities re­garding
their oollege eareer a.nd
therefore do not fully appreeiale
their education or value this edu·
cation as 1.11 intellectual experi·
enee at the present time.
Another view exprused was
thalthe majority of airls entering
oollege do not have any Intention
of becoming lntelleetuals; lndlvld.
uab who question , understand and
relate. Their pre-eolleae training
was admitted by those present to
having a great deal to do with
their inability to quesUon. Too
many girls consider their educa­tion
successful If they aCQuire a
suffieient number of credit hours
to graduate and get married .
There Is no personal interest in
knowledge.
A further explanation of this
"lack of lntelleetuality" wu the
existence of a "dichotomy be.
tween the academic and the In·
tellectual"; a dichotomy between
faets learned for marks and eon­eepts
learned to be IISed and ap­preciated.
Mention was made that
few ooUeges could beat Nazareth
at the amount o( time devoted to
studying class material but that
mueh less lime Is spent in the in­dependent
thinking and discussion
that should spring from the
knowledge learned In classrooms.
"Most education takesl'laee out­side
of the classroom." This
The following were sample questionJ for the discUSJion at the
NFCCS Panel Discussion:
Should representatives of controversial groups be allowed to speak
on tampu.s_?
Should the school sponsor political speakers?
Should the Catholic College ossume ' 'in loeo-parentb" control over
the students?
Should students be allowed to audit a course for which they have
not registered?
Which is mort': advantaeeouJ, 3 or 4 POint system of marking?
Should Theology aod Philosophy be required oourses?
Should students be oompelled to register for a partlcular set of
eourses to major In a given subject. or should students be given the
ehoiee of selecting certain courses from a suggested group In that
given department?
How can students Jtimulate an lntelleetual atmosphere on campus?
Should there be a legali>ed eut system?
Would a course in Comparative Religions be of value on a Cath.
olie college ean1p115?
Should seminars be opened to all interested studenta and not re·
stricted to top ranking Jludents In the department?
Should students be allowed to slt·ln on a class at random!
Should smoking be restricted to spe<ified areas on campus?
Should students be allowed to dress according to their own disere·
tion on campus?
Should students be allowed 10 retain status of full-time students If
married before graduation?
seems to be a common cry tn
schools today. While ldeall.y it
may be true that most of the syn.
thesis between courses. and db.
cussion ol individual (()Utses
should take place outside of ac·
tual class time. it was noted th•t
this did not take pla<e in the rep.
resented colleges. Aller further
disewsion, it was found that It
was bard to pinpoint this loek of
intelleetuality on the campus.
The idea was considered that
if students received more stlmu·
Ius In the class perlodJ, there
would be more likelihood that It
would carry over into after
school hours. It is very hard to
engage fellow students In a stimu­lating
discussion about facts . Stu·
dents generally felt that seminars
and discussions within cluses
would be extremely beneficial to
a true education. It was re<oC·
nixed however that the responsl.
bllity for the success of any Syn·
thesis or outside diseuJslon aris·
ing from sueh methods would
ultimately lie with the students.
Family Atmosphe re
Consideration was g.lve.n to the
~on~ept ol the "family atmM·
phere!' a ~oncept prevalent at
Nnareth Collece. It was felt that
whil~ having many positlv~ as·
peels, the idea of family could,
under ~ertain conditions. hamper
true eommunieatlon between fae·
ulty and students. If faculty and
administration are cast in the
ro1e of parents strains. if only
subconscious. are placed on the
relationship between the two
groups. The college <IJlllOI be a
parent substitute. A ehild is no~
in a position to criticize his par­ents'
methods in bringing him up,
but a student does "want to have
something to say about the situa.
lion of life In whieh he b en·
liJed."
The eooeept of family was
found to be valid aod quite ~n•·
fteial it viewed in terms of a
Christian oommunity In whieb all
members are ~peratlnc for
true edu~ation.

Vietnamese requested our as.
sistancc in their struggle
against North Viet Nam and
it is our responsibility as the
leaders of the free world to
save Viet Nam from domina­tion
by North Viet Nam.
John Regan retaliated by
pronouncing it impossible
and unrealistic for the Unit­ed
States to appoint ilsell
the guardian of every nation
threatened by Communism.
American blood is being shed
needlessly; we have been in·
volved in too much combat in
previous years to sacrifice
more men to a cause in
which we look r idiculous. Mr.
Regan also maintained that
since we are in the war we
should not just fight to reach
a peace conference; we
should fight with the inten­tion
of victory. The morale of
American soldiers is being
undermined by the United

Nazareth's annual Christmas
festivities were held on December
14. Bishop Kearney celebrated
mass in the auditorium at 4:30.
To promote a feeling of partici-pation,
the altar was placed in
the center of the floor.
Following the Mass, the classes
went to their respective dining
rooms for the banquet. Sister
Mary Lourdes was guest spe•ker
for the freshman class, who 1eld
their banquet in the cafeteria.
Entertainment was provided by
the Melodix. Gaily wrapped pack­ages

.Christmas From Cairo to Nazareth
Everyone dreams of a White
Chri:$huas, and, tor Ule flrst time
in five years, perhaps Eileen
Driscoll '69 will have one. Eileen,
her father, mother, and two
brothers, Richard and John, have
been living In Cairo, Egypt,
where her father is stationed as
the Director of the Voice of Am­erica
in the Middle East. She also
has an older brother, Larry, who
is attending college here at St.
John Fisher, where he is a senior
this year. Eileen came to Nata·
reth this year to begin .. a serious
college education."
Eileen recalls her first Christ­mas
in Cairo as a very strange
place, with no bells, no earolers,
no relatives, no snow, and no dog.
For four months the Driscolls had
been wailing for their dog to be
shipped from the States, and they
had given up hope that he would
arrive for Christmas. But, it
seems that strange things happen
at Christmas time, and, at eleven
o"clock Christmas morning, an
embassy truck arrived bringing
their long awaited dog. ·
~ince that 6rst Christmas. the
Yuletide season in Egypt has be­come
a very happy time for Ei­leen.
Each year. her family buys
an evergreen tree, decoratts it,
and adorns the house with mil­l
ions of poinsettia, which are in
bloom at that time of the year in
Egypt. On Christmas Eve the
family attends Midnight Mass.
Eileen describes this as "a little
Uni'ted Nations in church," for
there are people of aU nationali·
ties: French, Spanish, Italian,
Greek, American and Arabian
Coptics. who are the Christians of
Egypt. Mass is followed by .a rc-
Eiletn Dr!S'coll
ception where everyone learns to
say Merry Christmas in a num­ber
of different tongues. Christ­mas
morning the Driscolls open
their presents and, afte.-wards,
Mr. Dr iscoll gives gifts to the
bikeman, the ironing man, the
tailor, the gardener, a.nd the
other Egyptians in their service.
These Egyptians are Moslems,
but they enjoy our Christian cus­toms.
This is followoo by a
Christmas dioner and a visit to
other American friends.
This year, though, Eileen and
her brother. Larry, wiiJ not spend
Christmas in E:gypt. Instead, they
will spend the holidays with their
grandmother. Even though she
will not be with her family, Ei·
leen still looks forwartl to having
Christmas in America again. "At
least I'll have snow this Christ·
mas:· she says. To make up for
her absence ~t home. her family
is sending her a tape with the re.
cordings of ber family's voices
and those of her friends. This will
bring Egypt • little bit doser.
'"'The Signs of the Times,
1 'Happiness is ~atching snow·
flakes on your tongue."' "Secur­ity
is havin,g someone listen to
you." These CharJic Browni.sms
are examples of signs that can be
seen all over campus. Incinerator
rooms, residents• doors, and bul­letin
boards are the unexpectoo
setlings for such bursts of liter­ary
genius.
Two obviously industTious Kear­ney

Medaille freshmen. One of your
doors bears the legend, "Resi­dence

ous lines are, "If work is a vir­tue.
I'm li\'ing in sin,'' and "I
!mow bard work never burt any­one,
but I'm not taking any
chances."
A little brown stuffed dog
guards the baU outside of three
freshmen's room every night,
bearing the message, "It's not
that we don't trust you, Mr. Pink·
erton ... "
Lavatories furnish an unex·
