On Wednesday, March 13, the students elected six active members and two alternates : Ruth Dondero ('75) ; Anne Marie Martineau ('75); Gail McCarthy ('75); Patricia McCarthy ('75); Marie-Claire Nicol ('76); and Celeste Vezina ('75); and alternates: Marie Bazzinotti and M. Therese Lutz, both from the class of '76.

The faculty elected their members on March 2S . They are : Dr. Richard J. Berggren, Assistant Professor of Psychology; Mrs. Gertrude C. Broderick, Chairman of the Educa­tion Department and Director of Stu­dent Teaching; Dr. John B. Cusack, Chairman of the History Department; Ms. Marie D. Natoli, Instructor in Political Science; Dr. Charlotte M. Teuber, Lecturer in Political Science;

Sr. Catherine Dunfey

Administrative elections, held on February 25, resulted in the follow­ing: Dennis P. Farrell, Director of Admissions ; Sr. Eileen Gertrude Mahoney, Treasurer; Sr . Mary Theresa Kelleher, Dean of Students; Sr. Grace Ayers, Academic Dean; Sr. Ann Rachel Sharry, Director of Resi­dence; Dr. John O'Loughlin, Execu­tive Vice President; and alternates: Dr. Albert R. Jurgela, Director of Counseling; and Sr. Maura Meade, Librarian .

An organizational meeting was held on AprilS to set up a convenient time for future meetings.

Has A Lot In Mime By Helen Desmond

Sr . Catherine Dunfey, M.A., M .F.A. , is the new Director of the Emmanuel College Dramatic Society . Sister, during the last eight years, has held teaching positions at the Uni­versity of Tokyo, the University of the Pacific, and the Training of Personnel for Communication with Developing Nations in Rome.

As Director of the Dramatic Soci­ety, Sister initiated the Total Drama Workshop, designed as a vehicle for teaching production techniques and also a process of growth for the stu­dents. "I see drama as a more exten­sive field," said Sr. Catherine . "It can be used as an exploration into the self - a vehicle for self-development."

Sister feels that body and voice are the medium through which total drama is created. "Lights and sets are only the frosting. I can't emphasize enough how vital movement and sound from within the self is the gateway to 'Total Theater.' My stu­dents will be able to perform on stairways and in lounges because they know, as will the audience, that the important elements are within them," she said.

Sr. Catherine, who holds advanced degrees from Boston College and Catholic University, has taught drama, literature and Latin at both college and high school levels.

Under the direction of Sr. Catherine, Margaret Berger, a graduate student in drama at B.U ., opens Sr. Catherine's workshop with

a series of limbering exercises . As the students do the various motions and exercises, they speak words and vowels which, Sr. Catherine stated, are vital in learning the placement of sound on a stage . Miss Berger en­courages the students to, "explore new directions with their body, maintaining complete awareness of what the body is doing," such as "feeling sneaky with your feet."

Sr. Catherine sees these exercises as a great tool for the students . "They learn to think intellectually in terms of motions and emotions," she said.

Approximately 17 students have been involved in the workshop and the first production, a turn-of-the­century melodrama, "The Great Elixir ." Sr. Catherine stated that, in this type of play, students utilize the broad body movements they are learning and play farcical characters. Live music, both authentic period pieces and improvised music, was performed by students in the April production .

One immediate goal of Sr. Catherine was to clean up the cos­tume and prop department, which Sister officially declared a "disaster area ." She asked students to give time to the work of "relegating junk to its rightful end, and reclaiming other varieties of junk for further use." Sister continually scours Boston for costumes and props . During one sell-out sale, she discovered, "a mar­velous beaver hat ." Unfortunately, she could not talk down the price.

Within the past months at Em­manuel, we have been extremely busy establishing new structures and new directions while reaffirming our identity as a Catholic liberal arts col­lege for women, concerned about its identity and growth, its goals and its influences.

At the Annual Trustees Meeting in October, we began to implement changes in By-Laws accepted in the March, 1973 Board meeting, specifi­cally, a change from a single Board to a nine-member Corporation and an expanded Board of Trustees. The nine Sisters who comprise the Corpora­tion will amend the Charter and By­Laws if necessary ; will elect the Trus­tees; and will exercise such powers and rights vested in them by law, the Charter or By-Laws. The Trustees will elect the President of the College; ap­prove the budget; and take a direct part in the College management.

At the first meeting of the nineteen-member Board in March, a picture was taken of the group . THE PILOT printed the photo, but left out one line of caption copy, giving no identity to five Trustees. THE PILOT corrected their error, but did not re­print the picture. The Boston Globe furthered the misconception by printing a misleading headline above copy on the new Trustees . Readers thought the Sisters of Notre Dame were no longer at Emmanuel!

The fact is there are six Sisters on the Board of Trustees; at least a dozen in administrative positions at the Col­lege; and 24 on the faculty. The Sisters of Notre Dame are operating the Col­lege, and are happy to have twelve lay WQmen and lay men supporting the Sisters on the Board of Trustees.

For years, Emmanuel College has trained women who have formed a significant part of the State (and out­of-state) teaching force. The College has provided a practicum in schools - eight weeks or six, culminating in a professional semester devoted to the theory and practice of teaching .

With the diminishing teachers market, faculty, administrators, and students have looked to all depart­ments to establish other practica, other directions of leaders hi p . Each department is investigating intern­ships in government offices, busi­ness and industry, hospitals, social agencies, as well as new courses to help the College and its students bet­ter serve the community.

Interinstitutional cooperation began with Simmons College in 1967. Since that time, 526 Emmanuel stu­dents have taken courses at Sim­mons, and 641 students from Sim­mons have studied at Emmanuel. While Simmons students have lived in Emmanuel dormitories for the past two years, they will not be on campus in 1974-75.

We recently entered into coopera­tion with Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. This year, 300 Mass. Col­lege students used our Library au­ditorium for classes several mornings each week, and a number were enrol­led in classes here. Moreover, 35 girls from that college lived on the Em­manuel campus, with more expected next year.

We also instituted discussions on interinstitutional cooperation with Laboure College in Nursing Ad­ministration; with Tufts New Eng­land Medical Center in Early Child­hood and Family Intervention; and with Peter Bent Brigham School of Nursing on a liberal arts program

for their nurses, in the attempt to be­come part of another large area of ser­vice to people and the community. Our program in preparing students for the allied health professions began this year with Cambridge and Newton-Wellesley Hospitals with Medical Technology .

As many of you know, we have been working for five years in the development of a College Council de­signed to give faculty and students a share in the decision making and en­hance communication among all members of our College community . The first meeting has been held and committees formed .

In December, Sr. Eileen Gertrude became Acting-Treasurer to relieve Sr. Mary Melania of responsibilities which she has carried for many years. Throughout the winter, Sr . Eileen and I have held meetings with the faculty and staff, and students, to give a detailed fiscal report for this year and an idea of our balanced budget for the next three years, and give the opportunity for questions. At Alumnae Board meetings, held monthly, I have also tried to keep them very much aware of what we are doing and where we are going .

All private colleges, in fact, all col­leges, are anxious about enrollment for the fall. Acceptance letters have been sent out to more than 300 ap­plicants, but acceptances will not be finalized until May 1. To date, we have received the same number of ac­ceptances as last year and, if sus­tained, we expect an entrance class of 100-125, with a much larger number of students actually on campus due to interinstitutional cooperation.

The loyal and supportive response of alumnae to program proposals has encouraged our commitment to con­tinued growth and development as an outstanding Catholic women's col­lege: the response to Mr. Farrell's Alumnae Admissions Program, re­sulting in more than 200 names of prospective students; the increased membership in the Emmanuel Club (one hundred dollar subscription); enthusiastic attendance at the Fash­ion Show at the Copley Plaza; and the dedication of those who took part in the Telethon.

Activities in April and May were accelerated with a two-day Poetry Symposium, the Faculty Collections Exhibit, and the Seminar on Chapter 766, which attracted more than 300 teachers and administrators in the field of Education .

I hope next year more alumnae will participate in the FSAA sessions (Faculty, Student, Administrator, Alumnae). The time was changed to 3:30 p .m., in the hope more alumnae would be free to drop in; but, eve­nings are being considered for next year . It is an opportunity to follow lectures or performances of our talented and effective faculty .

During this current year, a large number of alumnae have been in con­tact with the College. Before June, I hope that the number will have reached 5000 . The goal is that every alumna in this part of the coun try will have returned for at least a visit . We also invite your questions and com­ments by telephone or letter. Whether you are close at hand or out of the country, we wish you well.

May you have a pleasant spring and summer!

Bequest Chairman Named The Board of Trustees of Emmanuel

recently approved Sister Marie Barry ' s recommendation that a Memorial Fund be established . All gifts through bequests and other commemorative action will be chan­neled into this Fund for use of princi­pal and/or interest in accordance with the wishes of the donors.

Sister has announced the appoint­ment of Alice M . Johnson, class of '29, as Chairman of the newly-formed Bequest Committee. Miss Johnson, a former teacher and acting principal of the Western Junior High School in Somerville, Mass., who retired last year, has long been active in the Em­manuel College community and alumnae affairs . She has been presi­dent and treasurer of the Alumnae Association and has served on the Board of Directors. As president, she was instrumental in reorganizing the constitution of the Association.

Miss Johnson was also president of the former Somerville Emmanuel Club, the business manager of the former Alumnae " News," a charter member of the Alumnae Council, chairman of the Alumnae Placement Committee, chairman of Class Agents for the Alumnae Fund, and a member of the Golden Jubilee Fund Committee.

When asked to accept this new re­,>ponsibility, Miss Johnson said, "I am pleased to accept the appointment as Chairman of the Bequest Commit­tee and to do all I possibly can to in­sure the future of Emmanuel. I am certain that many of our alumnae will want to remember the College in some form of bequest; by so doing, they will have a part in insuring the continuation of the policies of crea­tive programming, higher education, and liberal arts tradition ."

Pertinen t information regarding bequests and other deferred gifts will

Marion Kearney Schraub Alive, Well, Living in N.J.

Marion Kearney Schraub, class of '65, and Mark Twain have something in common - they both enjoyed their demise .

When we received notice from the Alumnae Office of Mrs . Schraub's change of address and an obituary of another alumna, we assumed (a deadly error) that Mrs. Schraub had met an untimely death . The Alumnae Office questioned our information . We were too late : the last issue was already in print, ready for mailing .

A quick call to MariQn K~arn~y Schraub confirmed our error. She is, indeed, very much alive and well, and living in Glen Rock, N .J., with her husband, Jerry, and twenty­month-old daughter, Deborah Rachel. In lieu of flowers, please wel­come her back to our vibrant college community .

The Business of Teaching the Teaching of Business Prior to Deborah's birth in 1972,

Mrs. Schraub worked for Bell Tele­phone Laboratories as a Technical Staff member. She received her Master's Degree from Stevens Insti­tute of Technology, Hoboken, N .J., in 1969, in Mathematics, with a Compu­ter Science option. She now enjoys community service work in addition to her full-time job of wife and mother.

Ed. Note: Maria Murua Keilhauer ('60) received her degree from Emmanuel in Business. In 1961, she received her Teaching degree in Guatemala. She writes that all her jobs have been related to the business of teaching or the teach­ing of business.

When I was asked to contribute to the Emmanuel College News "Alumnae Around the World" col­umn, I was overjoyed. I have long felt that we "foreigners" have few oppor­tunities to be close to our College and our college friends. I have tried to dis­cuss a topic which would both be of interest and which would not easily be found in a travel guide .

I have begun teaching this year in the afternoons. I drive a few miles from home to Zone 3, in Guatemala City where, from the tourists' point of view, there is nothing to see. Un­paved streets and small, low-income housing are the rule in this area, in­habited by a floating population of about forty-thousand people .

Somewhere "near everything" stands an attractive and functional two-story building bearing the name "Junkabal," taken from Junk 'alebal in the Ketchi language, one of 19 dialects spoken in Guatemala . The name means, simply, "home."

In its twelve years of operation, Junkabal has been a home for more

than 800 girls, ages 12 to 17, who have come to receive training in various short-term technical careers such as typing, sewing, and sales.

Public schools in Guatemala are overcrowded and children often can­not go beyond the required sixth grade. Junkabal offers, then, a 7th, 8th, and 9th grade preparation along with technical specialization . A series of free courses in alphabetiza­tion for adults, and cooking lessons are also available to prepare women to earn a decent living and contribute to the country's progress.

Regular students pay a fee of $5 per month, and those who cannot afford it may apply for scholarship aid. About 500 students are enrolled.

Junkabal is supported exclusively by private contributions, chiefly from educated women who want to share their opportunities and outlooks on life with their less fortunate sisters. We also provide a "placement bureau" with a three-year follow -up program, a social worker in charge of family cases, and many other services which are extended to the community around the school.

The Director of the center is another Emmanuel alumna, Kira Nuila ('68) who received her M.A. in Sociology from Fordham.

My personal contribution to this growing project is very small. Teach-

ing Spanish shorthand and office practice and taking care of my three angels keeps me rather busy.

Kira and I both would enjoy hear­ing from our Emmanuel friends at JUNKABAL, 6 avenida 31-2~, zona 3, Guatemala City, C.A .

4 EMMANUEL COLLEGE NEWS May, 1974

Matches Made In Heaven Not long after the excitement of

going off to college wears a little thin . . . in all the packing and un ­packing; exploration of a new city, all in one week; buying those expensive new textbooks only to find you're al­ready lost after reading the first paragraph of the foreword . . . then comes the thunderous question : "How in the world did I get matched up with my roommate?" The answer at Emmanuel is : Heaven knows!

It didn't take long to realize that, despite the fact that you both like egg foo yong, you have nothing in com­mon . Your roommate is majoring in vertebrate morphology; you' re an English major. She comes from a fam­ily of thirteen (excluding the dog, cat and boa), wears dungarees, goes to bed at 9 :00 p.m ., and likes lots of fresh air , even in the middle of winter. You're an only child who sports the newest fashions and, at 9:00 p.m ., you're just going out to sit in some warm, cozy gin mill. Don't be confused . You're astrological twins.

Our lesident ma tchmaker, uften seen with a little, blue book tucked in the pocket of her raincoat, is none other than Sr. Ann Rachel. Her mis­sion as Director of Residence is to match freshmen roommates .

" Each year I try a new system . I've matched students from large families with roommates from small ; out-of­state girls with state residents ; and analyzed questionnaires to avoid placing a girl who likes to smoke and sleep with the windows open with a roommate who hates smoke but in­sists on keeping windows closed," Sister said , and continued : "This year, I decided to try something dif­ferent and match girls by star signs ."

"It all started with The Zodiak Guide to Your Relations with Others," she explained , dragging the book from her pocket . " I was looking at the compatibility of political fig­ures and found Nixon to be compati­ble with Tallulah Bankhead and Bebe Rebozo, but incompatible with Gene McCarthy ." That made sense! It made as much sense as any other system for matching roommates!

Did Ms. Scorpio and Ms . Gemini get along? If not, Sr. Ann Rachel hasn't heard about it. She reports far fewer swaps than in the past. Some of the reports from the freshmen, how­ever, were incompatible with Sister's. But, as anyone knows, a planet in Leo or a Ta1lfus ascendant can muddy the clearest of water signs - not to men­tion one with an afflicted Neptune .

Take the case of Denise "Libra" and Sue "Aquarius ." After many a stormy night, they split for more serene cosmic surroundings, with Denise "Libra" now living in heavenly harmony with Kim "Cancer", and Sue" Aquarius" with Cindy" Aries."

There are possible explanations: Denise "Libra," if she's true to her sign, needs complete harmony in sound, color, furnishings , people and

WE'RE FRIEND RAISING A change of name or address can cause us to lose touch with our friends .

Who Are You? Has marriage changed your name from Mary Smith to Mary Whatchamacallit?

"!'Vher~ Are You? Still safe and snug In Mllton, or now inhabiting an icy igloo in Nome, Alaska?

Let us know . We're still known as the Emmanuel College Alumnae Office, and still reside at 400 The Fenway, Boston , Mass . 02115 .

use of the " King's English ," as dis­cordant surroundings make them nauseous . They love people ; hate crowds. Impulsive, impatient, flighty people drive them up the proverbial wall . They are often accused of inde­cision when , in fact, they withhold judgement in order to reach impartial decisions. Ditto for their tendency to quarrel: These doves of peace will debate an issue till all sides are pre­sented, with a logic beyond dispute.

If Sue "Aquarius" is a typical "water bearer," she could throw any peace loving Libran into a panic . They experiment with lifestyles, pur­sue off-beat fancies and say and do things that defy public opinion, often advocating drastic, revolutionary change . Most Aquarians seek the security of crowds and saturate them ­selves with friends in the name of brotherhood; togetherness only dis­tracts them. This sign is noted for im­pulsive behavior and non-sequitur statements . They are likely to wear thont!s under a formal to the movies, 0 i announce, during a disCUi33ior:. on the relative weight of gravity, that they like wheat germ on their cereal. An Aquarian is likely to be found at 11:00 p .m ., painting her room tiger stripes and, when she's missing from class the next day, don't presume she slept through - she just decided to join the Peace Corps! (Beginning to see the conflict?)

It might have blown Denise "Libra" right out of her solar equilib­rium to come home to find her room­mate Peace Corps bound, the room painted tiger stripes, acid rock blar­ing and a crowd of as many different kinds of people that the cat could drag in, eating wheat germ on their cereal. It may also have driven Sue "Aquarius" to distraction to have Denise debate the need for conserva­tives to establish world peace, just when she was telling her gathering of 140 intimate friends that what the world needed now was someone to throw a molotov cocktail in to the Oval Room. But, since the change of roommates, they're probably friends (due to Libra's sense of fairness and Aquarius's ability to re­main friends even with worst enemies) despite Denise' s together­ness thing .

A few of our "starlets" have already made practical suggestions to com­plement the sun sign system. One was to match foreign students with U. S. girls to aid their adjustment to the culture and language and, to per­mit them to get away on weekends.

Another suggestion was to pair girls according to compatible class schedules and majors . That way, one isn' t saying, "Don't wake me when you get up at that ungodly hour," or, "I don't care if you have a xylophone practical tomorrow ; I can't study for my thermodynamics midterm with you banging the %# %& out of that thing."

And, they agreed, avoid matching a girl who likes to smoke and sleep with the windows open with a roommate who hates smoke but keeps the windows closed .

Yes, we're back where we started. Bu t, who are the authors of these practical questions? When it comes to practical people (and there aren ' t many of them left) , Virgo' s have cor­nered the market. Now these celestial bodies . . .

Career Aspirations By Michelle Demers

"What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing," Aristotle once said . The spirit of this practical philosophy, taught 24 centuries ago, is being revived today at Emmanuel with a rapidly expanding internship program. The Biology, Political Sci­ence and, more recently, Economics Departments have initiated and de­veloped this program for the qual­ified, interested student.

Under the authorship of Dr . Donald Procaccini, Chairman of the Biology Department and Special As­sistant to the President for Academic Programs, senior Biology majors may participate in a program which in­cludes affiliation with the Children's Cancer Research Foundation and the Cambridge Hospital. The former, known as the Jimmy Fund , has pre­sented many research opportunities for the aspiring young scientist.

Dr . Richard Adams, Chief, Im­munogenetics Section, has directed Diana Keenan ('74) and Patricia Mul­lins ('74), in their internships . Dr. Adams, who has been with the Jimmy Fund since 1956, has been guiding the students' carefully tail­ored problem-solving projects in pediatric cancer research .

"The purpose of the internships," said Dr. Adams , " is to demonstrate the way in which scientific generali­zations come into being . Research is an important part of the education of biologists . They need to find out how the information in text books got there and to see the ac tual process of medical research. "

At the Social Services Department of Cambridge Hospital, under the di­rection of Mrs . Ruth Cowin , research opportunities were available in a va­riety of settings : community med­icine, alcoholism, psychiatry, rehab­ilitation and in-patient services .

Under the supervision of Ms . Judith Freiman, Social Work Super­visor for Cambridge Department of Health and Hospital , Joanne Dulak ('741, chose a community health re­search project dealing with older pa­tients brought to the hospital emergency care unit or referred by various cooperating agencies .

The Biology internship program is expanding to include Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and Kennedy Memorial Hospital for Children .

Ms. Lenore G. Martin, and Ms . Marie D . Natoli of the Political Sci­ence Department, have directed the Legal and Urban Government intern­ships . Ms . Martin, who directed the Legal internships, feels that the stu­dents who took on responsibilities handling actual legal problems added an important dimension to their un-

derstanding of the legal process. Last semester, Ms . Martin guided eight students through internships with five different agencies : Susan Harvey ('74) and Margaret Heanue ('74) at Mass. Defenders, observing a juvenile treatment center; Maureen McLellan ('75) , for the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights , observ­ing courtroom proced ure; Mary O'Connor ('75), and Mary Finneran ('74), at NOW; Celeste Vezina ('75), as court monitor, and Karen Torres ('74) , evaluating day care centers for the American Friends Service Commit­tee; and, Deborah Shanley ('74), at the American Civil Liberties Union .

In the future, Ms . Martin plans on adding several agencies from which the students may choose . Two added to date are the Black Caucus and Bos­ton Legal Assis tance.

The Urban and State Government internships, initiated three years ago by Dr. John O'Loughlin and Ms . Natoli, are now directed by the latter: Helena Andrezejak ('74) at Consumer Protection, investigating tenant­landlord cases; Maureen McCarthy ('74), for the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women in rape inves­tigation; Connie LaPointe ('74), at the Mass. Student Lobby on educational financial aid ; Lucy Flynn ('75), with Councilman Gerald O ' Leary , and Terry Spinosa ('74), with the Iannella office ; Maureen Lodge ('74), on the preparation of the Archibald Cox papers at the Kennedy Library in Waltham .

The Economics internship pro­gram, directed by Mr. Richard Emery, was organized through the Massachusetts Internship Office. It is a program hopeful in its aspirations , yet realistic in expectations . " If stu­dents expect to directly apply the economic theory they have learned in their course work, they may be dis­appointed," said Mr. Emery . "They should find, however, the theory is a very useful framework in which to analyze the problems they encounter in the internship:" Geri Sullivan ('74), at the Massachusetts Commis­sion against Discrimination collect­ing employment statistics; Madeleine Smj th ('74), with the Consumer Pro­tection Bureau; Carol ~v!:u ;:dock, at the Greater Boston Chamber of Com­merce; Mary Aldridge and Pat Gilles­pie, with the Department of Educa­tion.

As with any blossoming project, there are bound to be growing pains. However, the positive implications of the program are important: the student gains exposure to influential contacts as well as invaluable knowl ­edge through actual experience.
