Frosh class exceeds
pledged size by 130
By R i c h a r d Katcliffe
Despite a pledge by the adm i n i s t r a t i o n to l i m i t the
he size of
the class of 1981 to 800 students,
this year's freshman class totals
930, a c c o r d i n g to the l a t e s t
computer center printout.
A c c o r d i n g to Rev. Thomas R.
Peterson, O.P., P C ' s president,
the 930 figure is not totally accurate because it does not include
the attrition rate. The attrition
rate is the n u m b e r of students
who leave school after they have
matriculated
Father Peterson said, "It
probably won't be until October 1
b e f o r e we k n o w how m a n y
students are h e r e . " He added,
" Y o u j u s t c a n ' t go a r o u n d
counting heads because it's not
that e a s y . "
F r o m f i g u r e s the S t u d e n t
Congress obtained from George
E . S u l l i v a n , director of data
systems the average freshman
attrition rate between September
and October for the academic
years 1972-1976, was computed to
be 1.4 per cent. F i g u r e s were not
a v a i l a b l e for a c a d e m i c year 19761977. If the attrition rate for this
y e a r ' s class follows the same
pattern we c a n expect about 917
freshman to be attending P C on
October 1.
F a t h e r P e t e r s o n s a i d the
A d m i s s i o n s Office made every
possible effort to keep the size of
the f r e s h m a n class to 800. But
a c c o r d i n g to one reliable source.
M i c h a e l B a c k e s , d i r e c t o r of
admissions, s a i d this s u m m e r
that he had been unaware of the
800 figure d u r i n g most of the
selection process B a c k e s , who
was out of town because of a
death
i n the f a m i l y ,
was
unavailable to comment and the
Admissions Office refused to
comment
on
any
matter
regarC'ng
enrollment
until
Backes returned
A c c o r d i n g to F a t h e r Peterson
any statement that even suggests
that B a c k e s was unaware of a
desired freshman class of 800 is
" t o t a l l y absurd " He added "I
spoke to M i k e Backes on three
separate occasions and I told h i m
specifically about the 800 figure."
F a t h e r Peterson also said that
"PC Is not a
money-making
Institution"
the Admissions Office conducted
a statistical survey to insure a
freshman class of between 800835 students.
The Cowl has learned that a
significant number of students
were allowed to attend P C after
the stated M a y 15 deadline
The fact is that as of M a y 23,
eight days after the deadline, 897
students had committed themselves to attend P C by sending a
50-dollar non-refundable deposit
By J u l y 26 that figure had jumped
to 943, and according to Rev

John M c M a h o n . O.P., director of

committed themselves one week
prior to the opening of school.
Students were also accepted
during the s u m m e r The Cowl has
learned that one transfer student
was sent a letter of acceptance on
July 21. We have also been told by
a member of Student Congress
that at least one freshman was
sent a letter of acceptance during
the month of August.
When the budget was presented
last M a r c h the projected revenue
w a s b a s e d on a n
expected
enrollment of 3394 students. B y
c o l l e c t i n g $2852 f r o m
each
student, the Committee on Administration figured that this
would yield approximately 17.3
million dollars in revenue. This is
almost two m i l l i o n more than the
amount collected last year. The
committee felt that this additional revenue would compensate for the expected inflation
rate.
At last count 3599 students are
registered at P C , 192 more than
anticipated by the committee. If
all these students remained at P C
the a d d i t i o n a l fees c o l l e c t e d
would amount to $547,847.
The overriding question is what
will happen to the additional

he cannot make any commitment
as to what w i l l happen to the
surplus until he meets with a l l
"interested parties, including

and

the money will either be returned

lecturer in religious studies.
Thomson explained that the
title of special lecturer indicates
a temporary, part-time position
created to fill " s o m e particular,
special n e e d . "
The combination of demands
placed on the religious studies
department both from the D W C
program, which requires instructors of religion from an
historical perspective, and the
fact that Sr. Kathleen O'Connor
has left to pursue graduate
studies at Princeton in addition to
the fact that several professors
are on sabbatical leave produced
many openings. The growth of
the
graduate
program
in
religious studies also placed
further demands on the department.

department, M a r y L. Bellhouse

Father
Peterson
termed
"orientated s e r v i c e s , " or used
for m o r e l i b r a r y a q u i s i t i o n ,
which had been previously cut in
the budget.
Father Peterson said that the
money would not be used to pay
off any construction debts He
also added that " P C is not a
money-making
operation."
Father Peterson said he hopes
that a decision is made by October 15.
Seton Hall offers presidency;
Thomson declines
Despite pleas from Seton H a l l ' s
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n to t a k e
the
presidency of its school. D r . P a u l
van K. Thomson, P C ' s academic
vice president, refused
the
request, and has decided to

ending a summer of speculation.
Thomson relayed the story as
follows: late in the spring of 1977,
Thomson was nominated for the
delare (B.S., N i a g a r a University; M . S . and E d . D , State
U n i v e r s i t y of New Y o r k at

computer science and director of

an interesting one. He will be in
charge of the management and
use of the computer facilities and
will serve as a liaison w i t h the
(Continued on Page 3)
position of president of Seton H a l l
by an unnamed source
After
being contacted, Thomson sent a
reply stating, "I don't think I'm
the person you should consider
due to my age and the fact that I
have already made the announcement of my plans to resign
my administrative position in
1979 to do what I like b e s t teach."
Despite this statement and the
expression of his wishes that the
search committee find someone
suitable, the committee insisted
that Thomson visit Seton H a l l to
discuss the matter in person.
Thomson consented to the visit,
explaining that he felt it " o n l y
polite to talk to t h e m " . He also
remarked that he had always had

By J a n e E
Hickry
Rev. Thomas R. Peterson, O.P., president of Providence College
is c h a i r m a n of a special committee appointed by Rhode Island
Governor J . Joseph G a r r a h y to investigate an incident at the Adult
Correctional Institutions.
Attorney Walter R. Stone and retired Judge W i l l i a m E . Powers
are F a t h e r Peterson's committee members and they are attempting to determine whether or not an incident which occurred
at the A C I on August 26 i n which 10 prison guards were injured was
handled properly.
The three-member panel has decided that due to the nature of
their investigation, their meetings and findings would not be public.
No information will be released until their final report is submitted
to the governor and then made public.
When asked why he is involved in such an investigation, F a t h e r
Peterson explained that he was away on vacation at the time of the
incident and was contacted by the Governor upon his return. He
feels that he was asked to take the position of committee c h a i r m a n
because the Governor's p r i m a r y concern was that the panel be nonpolitical in nature. F a t h e r Peterson s a i d he agreed to chair the
panel because it would be in keeping w i t h P C ' s philosophy, " W e are
not just in the community - we're a part of i t . " He felt that his
representation would allow P C to do a service to the community at
large.
The panel's m a i n objective is " t o try to take the emotionalism out
of the situation." The fact that Father Peterson was away at the
time of the incident in question was an advantageous coincidence
which allowed h i m to be p a r t i c u l a r l y i m p a r t i a l . He felt that the
diversified backgrounds of the three members were purposely
designed to insure greater i m p a r t i a l i t y .
Father Peterson stated that the panel is fairly hopeful that its
work w i l l be completed in a week and stated that his personal a i m
is to be " a s objective and thorough as I can be and to see that
everyone is treated as fairly as possible."

nineteenth century convert from
the Anglican faith to R o m a n

was
raised and educated an A n g l i c a n
and
converted

life.)
The Seton H a l l search committee finally submitted three
names to the board of trustees of
which his name was
one.
Thomson
returned
to
the
university and repeated to the

reservations he'd expressed to

time he convinced his audience

Seven new m e m b e r s , including

action was part of P C ' s governing
body's a n n u a l meeting, at which
the school's budget w a s also
accepted.
M a r k Greenberg, one of two
Corporation m e m b e r s elected by
the student body, reported that
discussion of the budget occupied
the majority of the meeting. H e

Greenberg feels there is a flaw
in the nominations procedure,
because only the names and not
the qualifications of Corporation
nominees a r e presented for
approval.
The question of the feasibility
of a l a w school at Providence
College which w a s slated for
discussion a t this meeting w a s
tabled until a special Corporation
meeting scheduled for this
semester. Corporation members
received copies of two feasability
reports, one compiled by Judge
Joseph Weisberger's committee
and the second c o m p i l e d by
Student Congress.
The final issue for discussion on
the agenda was the president's
report which sparked, among
other things, the question of
student
population
and
overenrollment.
Greenberg,
M a r t i n s and D a v i s expressed the
student body's concern at the 900m e m b e r freshman class despite
promises of a l i m i t of 800. T h e
problem was acknowledged, but
no d e f i n i t i v e
solution was
reached.
Another area of student concern was the question of exorbitant
dorm
damage
fees
baskets, brass planters,
charged to students who did not
damage their rooms to the extent
to which they were billed. F a t h e r
Peterson explained that he was
unaware of such practices and
asked for evidence of such unjust
assessments.
G r e e n b e r g a n d the other
Corporation members wished to
commend graduating senior
P a t r i c i a D a v i s for the excellence
of her efforts while on the Corporation. " P a t t i D a v i s d i d an

Editor's memo:
To the Class of
1981
It was the prince of journalists, H . L . M e n c k e n , who observed in
1942 that the college freshman was a being "oppressed by s i m i a n
sophomores and affronted w i t h balderdash daily and hourly by
chalky pedagogues."
To the class of 1981, which at the time of this p r i n t i n g has
matriculated at P r o v i d e n c e College barely more than a week, this
description may already seem truer now than it e v e r could have 35
years ago. This is absolutely natural. It is f a i r l y obvious that
Mencken meant to intone a certain amount of timelessness into his
statement, which was part of an article he wrote at age 62. U n comfortable new experiences are a n undeniable fact of life to the
college student.
But whether you know it or not, somewhere a m o n g the insanity of
the m i x e r s , the inevitable boredom associated with becoming
accustomed to inhabiting a b a r r e n dormitory r o o m , a n d the
terrifying prospect of having to digest the staggering bulk of
M a y n a r d M a c k , P C has started to become your home. A n d , like any
new environment, it w i l l necessitate that you open y o u r eyes a little
wider, react with a little more caution, and feel a little deeper.
It is not a pleasant process. It is, however, an inherently transient
and beneficial one. A s you look retrospectively at these first few
days years from now, they w i l l appear to be e m b a r r a s s i n g l y i n significant, as they w i l l be far outweighed by the memories of the
friendships you w i l l have made (and unmade) d u r i n g your t i m e
here at school. Be patient, think, and be good.
To the balance of the P C c o m m u n i t y , w e l c o m e back. I hope
everyone w i l l have a most worthwhile year. I would also like to
reiterate that The Cowl is your newspaper, and that we are most
open to any student interested in joining, not only for our sake, but
for your own.
Thank you,

Lower tuition seems
best alternative
One of the most pressing
problems that faces F a t h e r
Thomas Ft. Peterson is not a
dolorous one. It is what to do with
a more than one-half-million
dollar surplus.
F a t h e r Peterson has stated
that the additional number of
freshmen was not planned. He
said that he is genuinely concerned about overcrowding and
that he was hoping for a freshm a n class of about 800.
Last A p r i l when the tuition
increase was announced F a t h e r
Peterson
stated
that
the
enrollment in the freshman class
would number 800. Most students,
though not happy w i t h the tuition
increase, realized the necessity
for it. M a n y were relieved that
P C was finally c u r t a i l i n g its
enrollment. One student sighed
that f i n a l l y it m i g h t not be an
arduous task to find a seat in
R a y m o n d H a l l Cafeteria.
Well, we returned this September after p a y i n g our increased tuition bills to find that
more students a r e here now than
were last year. We find that the
overcrowding had not abated but
worsened. We find that the
residence situation has also
worsened. M a n y freshmen are
now quadrupled i n Meagher.
The students were lead a s t r a y ;
they were promised something
that wasn't delivered. When this
happens, the tendency is to
become bitter a n d lose confidence i n whoever m a d e the
promise.
Therefore, Father Peterson
has only one solution open to h i m :
he must return a portion of the
tuition increase to the students. If
he does not, doubt m a y be cast
upon the whole a d m i n i s t r a t i o n .
There are two ways that the
students could receive a rebate.
One, they could be m a i l e d a
check. T h i s might not work
because of logistical reasons,
such as if a student who is on full
scholarship received a rabate.it
would amount to p a y i n g tne
student to attend P C . It would
also be a n expense to draw up the
checks and m a i l them out.
The second choice a n d the one
the E d i t o r i a l B o a r d supports
would be lowered tuition next
semester for everyone who attended school this semester. This
would be m u c h easier to i m plement and more equitable than
the previous option.

Good fuck
Father Jack Reid
T r a d i t i o n a l l y , the r o l e of
chaplain at P r o v i d e n c e College
has been rather low-key. Services
such as daily M a s s , Confession,
and counseling were and are
offered to the c o m m u n i t y on a
regular basis. However, in more
recent years, this c o m m i t m e n t
has been expanded in a number
of ways.
F o r example, there a r e now a
total of six persons, including a
D o m i n i c a n sister as part of the
chaplain's staff. T h e i r duties
have been expanded now to include extensive use of music in
liturgy, special Masses, a
r e l i g i o u s b o o k s t o r e , a n d as
evidenced last year, forums that
are highly informational to every
P C student.
M a n y of these new activities
and poficies were brought forth
by F a t h e r T e r r y Keegan, formerly
h e a d c h a p l a i n , now
assistant. H i s insieht and sensitivity to the needs of those he
served were clearly i n evidence
throughout
his
tenure
as
chaplain.
Now, it is w i t h great pleasure
and w a r m t h that we welcome
F a t h e r J a c k R e i d , O.P., as the
new c h a p l a i n at P r o v i d e n c e
College. In the three years that he
has been here, F a t h e r R e i d has
become very w e l l known and
respected by P C students and
faculty alike. We c a n think of no
better choice for this position nor
anyone who could be more highly
appreciated in it. We w i s h F a t h e r
R e i d every possible success in
continuing the fine work that has
eminated from the C h a p l a i n ' s
Office.
"Sloppiness Syndrome" symptomatic
of slovenly Saturday scenes
The Sunday m o r n i n g after: for
many
it i s a n
agonizing
headache, weasiness, and a
parched mouth that feels as if
high tide just receded.
F o r us at The Cowl it may
mean this but it also means being
the first to see the Union strewn
with debris from the Saturday
night mixer. We do not mean to
be priggish. The Cowl E d i t o r i a l
Board would be the first to advocate m i r t h and m e r r i m e n t .
Nevertheless, it is inevitable that
some m e r r i m a k e r s become a
little too vivacious and end up
becoming destructive.
One does not have to think too
far back to remember a Union
devastated
by
fun-loving,
inebriated souls. In their stupor
they h a v e p e r f o r m e d
such
niceties
as
destroying
bathrooms, breaking windows,
and s m a s h i n g mailboxes. There
is no need for this type of
destruction, especially when it is
presumably
done
for
amusement.
We are pleased that nothing
serious has happened thus far
However, though it is not nearly
as serious as v a n d a l i s m , littering
is a n e x t r e m e l y
annoying
problem.
Rubbish
that
is
discarded on the beer-saturated
rug in the Union creates a bad
i m p r e s s i o n of P C s t u d e n t s ,
besides being expensive to clean.
The Sloppiness S y n d r o m e is not
confined to the interior of the
Union. One does not have to go
very far to find d i s c a r d e d beer
bottles and cans throughout the
campus.
If everyone would try to be a
little less careless, we would a l l
benefit f r o m a cleaner campus.

BOG begins lectures
with Bond, Breslin
By D a v i d A m ara I
The B o a r d of Governors opens
its 1977-78 lecture series w i t h the
appearances of J u l i a n B o n d a n d
J i m m y B r e s l i n , two speakers of
different backgrounds but both i n
the
spotlight
of
national
prominence.
Bond, who w i l l appear i n '64
H a l l on September 27, is one of
the leading black spokesmen i n
A m e r i c a . T h e state senator f r o m
Georgia rose to prominence e a r l y
in his career through his outspoken opposition to A m e r i c a n
involvement i n V i e t n a m . H i s
fellow legislators objected to his
views and barred h i m from office
for a y e a r until it was r u l e d that
his constitutional rights were
violated.
A descendent of a freed slave,
Bond was born i n N a s h v i l l e ,
Tennessee i n 1940 but grew up i n
P e n n s y l v a n i a where his father
was
president
of
Lincoln
University.
He
attended
Morehouse College where he
majored i n E n g l i s h and also took
a philosophy course under M a r t i n
Luther K i n g J r .
Bond
served
as
comm u n i c a t i o n s d i r e c t o r of t h e
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee from 1961-65 when he
was elected to the Georgia House
of Representatives. In the 1968
D e m o c r a t i c N a t i o n a l Convention
Bond became the first black i n
history to be nominated for vicepresident. H i s young age (28)
disqualified h i m f r o m the post,
however.
E a r l i e r this s u m m e r Bond
visited Rhode Island to speak on
behalf of W i l l i a m B a i l e y , who
was b a r r e d f r o m office to serve a
prison sentence.
Bond is said to be a soft-spoken,
courteous speaker, w h i c h is quite
the opposite of the October
lecturer, J i m m y B r e s l i n . T h e
exact date of the B r e s l i n lecture
has yet to be a r r a n g e d .
A k e y c o n t r i b u t o r to t h e

talking New York newsman
novelist.

rising
to
prominence through the New

The Queens n a t i v e ' s first
Fox brings spice
to Theater Arts
By Dea Antonelli
The walls a r e bare, the
bookcases yet to be filled, a n d
the s m e l l
of fresh paint
lingers in the a i r . T h i s
situation
will
soon
be
remedied, however, as Sandy
Fox, new theatre arts faculty
member, plans to decorate
her office w i t h i n the new
theatre arts complex w i t h the
same v i v a c i t y and enthusiasm
that she has brought to her
position here at P r o v i d e n c e
College.
The a t t r a c t i v e blonde i n structor's excitement was
evident as she spoke of her
first class meetings. " I a m so
impressed with the students'
respect, cooperation, enthusiasm a n d openness," she
said. " S u c h responsiveness
always makes teaching a
really enjoyable e x p e r i e n c e . "
The c o m m u n i c a t i o n she has
achieved w i t h her students
has allowed her to l e a r n what
their needs a r e , a n d she has
planned a major portion of her
instruction f r o m there. " F o r
i n s t a n c e , " she s a i d , " I ' v e
found that most of m y o r a l
interpretation students chose
that course to help them to get
over the major fear of standing i n front of a c l a s s . "
Therefore, i n addition to her
already planned instruction,
she w i l l c o n c e n t r a t e on
helping her students overcome this fear.
Fox is originally from
Rhode Island, but grew up i n
New H a v e n , P i n e O r c h a r d a n d
B r a m f o r d , Connecticut. T h e
personable w o m a n received a
B a c h e l o r of A r t s degree i n

College i n Newport, Rhode

A r t s degree i n speech and
drama
from
Catholic
U n i v e r s i t y i n 1968.
Her a c a d e m i c credentials
are complemented by extensive regional repertory
theatre experience i n such
institutions as the P r i s c i l l a
B e a c h Theatre i n P l y m o u t h ,
M a s s . and the C h i l d r e n ' s

c o m i c story loosely based on
M a f i a gangwars i n B r o o k l y n ,
which was l a t e r m a d e into a
motion p i c t u r e . B r e s l i n then
spent five months i n Ireland
p r e p a r i n g for his next novel,
World Without E n d , w h i c h is as
serious as his previous novel was
facetious.
Beside his w r i t i n g a c t i v i t y ,
B r e s l i n has spent t i m e as a news
commentator for the N e w Y o r k
television station W N B C . H e was
also the reporter who received
two letters from " S o n of S a m . "
These a r e the only two lectures
which a r e contracted at the
moment, although some other
names a r e being tossed around,
such as B o b Woodward, W i l l i a m

The success of these first two

puts a spell on guitarist Lindsey
B y Frank Fortin
This was an incredibly bland
summer for A M music, with the
typical smash hit being "Do You
Wanna
Make
Love?"
the
brashness of which produced
titters among the preteens for
weeks on end. This is price for
seeing what Peter Frampton
Hath Wrought: Innocuousness
Personified.
The Celebrated Return of
Crosby, Stills and Nash: Indeed,
what a return! If you have not
already bought their new album,
CSN, then you may be surprised
to learn that while the lyrics have
changed markedly over eight
years (people do grow up), the
music itself hasn't: at least when
they get together. Truly a fine
and satisfying album.
Punk Rock: For a while this
looked like it might be T H E story
of the summer of 1977. Scratch
one instant sensation. Media
ublicity primed the recorduying public for an A M hit, but
there were none forthcoming.
Result: The probably passing of
interest in what probably is just a
curious sidebar to popular
culture.
Concerts around Rhode Island,
1977: Crosby, Stills and Nash
(June 13): Good, but a disappointment for those hoping for a
cosmic experience. Reports are
the show solidified by the time
they hit New York City 10 days
later.
Fleetwood Mac (July 7): A
fine slick and enjoyable show.
Kenny Loggins' opening set was
the best opener I've ever seen.
The key to Mac is not in their
women, who hog most of the
K
publicity shots. The three men in
the band definitely rate among
the best musicians these days.
Steve Miller Band (August 6):
Definitely the most enjoyable
show 1 saw all summer. The
moment Miller hit the stage with
his dazzling mixture of cosmic
lighting and classic Californiabased cruising music, the show
took off. Everyone loved him:
two frenetic encores followed by
a promise to "Come back real
soon." I can't wait.
The Great Narragansett Park
Beach Boys Jamboree (September 2): This was one of the
WORST shows I ever saw. The
scene was fine: 40,000 people
were laid-back and peaceful, with
no hassles from police or
security Leo Sayer opened with
an acceptable hour-long set.
The BBs themselves were the
visibly angry victims of a sound
which
was
lost on
most
everybody: the wind was blowing
the sound away from the crowd
and the rest was lost in the
massive 50-foot drainage ditch in
front of the stage. Promoter
Frank Russo ought to be sentenced to a month of Barry
Manilow Live.
In between, good shows from
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes,
and P-e-t-e-r F-r-a-m-p-t-o-n
(which I did not see).
Quick record reviews: Doobie
Brothers, Livin' on the Fault:
Rumor has it that this is really
Steely Dan's oftdelayed new
album under a pseudonym. I
can't tell the difference. This is
not the classic Doobies sound, but
it doesn't even come close to good
Steely Dan. I liked the Doobies'
previous album CTakin' it to the
Streets) m u c h better, when they
stayed away from jazz influences
and used R & B and rock for a
great sound. T i m e for a step
back, I guess.
N e i l Young, A m e r i c a n Star 'n
B a r s : If you like recent Young,
you'll love this one. If you think
he's gotten quite strange in his

Peering deep into
PC's paintings
By David
A m a r a l
One of the most noticable and
t a l k e d about a r t w o r k s on
campus is an untitled painting
which hangs on the staircase in
the center of S l a v i n Center. T h i s
work captures the m a n y moods
p r e s e n t h e r e at
Providence
College.
Instead of giving a traditional
review from the eye of the artist
or reviewer, I thought to hear out
other people's ideas on this work
of art. Crouching behind the
staircase for a few hours, I attached a listening device to the
back of the painting, allowing m e
to capture the comments of the
people passing by.
A couple of hungover students
were the first to make comment
on the painting.
" L o o k , m a n , " one said, " h e r e ' s
a painting of last night's mixer.
That red is the band, and the blue
lines are the people dancing, and
that yellow spot represents the
beer.
" T h a t doesn't represent i t , " the
other student said, it is spilt
beer."
The students continued on up
the s t a i r s f o l l o w e d by
two
D o m i n i c a n Fathers. " I wonder
what they saw in that p a i n t i n g ? "
one F a t h e r asked.
" I s n ' t it o b v i o u s ? " the other
replied, " G o d . "
Of c o u r s e . " They both nodded
and continued on.
Things quieted down until after
luncntime,
when
a
small
gathering of students huddled
around the painting.
" H e y , " they said, " A painting
of a R a y m o n d lunch. That black
stuff is the meat, the green is the
bread, and that brown pile is the
mashed potatoes."
The group quickly dispersed
when two of its members r a n
towards the bathroom clutching
their mouths.
The general opinion of The
Cowl editorial B o a r d is that the
painting represents the overcrowding situation at P C , where
the m a n y f r a n t i c l i n e s a r e
students, the new circles are
classroom and d o r m space, and
the green blotches are money.
Seeing that this method proved
to be most effective, I then took
m y equipment to the l i b r a r y to
observe some reaction to a
painting i n the reference section
which I find to be most i n teresting. This painting consists
of t h r e e
different
colored
squares, each emcompassed
within each other.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , the l i s t e n i n g
device shorted out i n m y ear,
causing temporary deafness, so I
had to rely solely on v i s u a l
reaction to finish this article.
Peering
out
between
bookshelves,
I observed
a
protessor stare at the painting for
several minutes, shaking his
head. F i n a l l y , he flipped it upside
down, nodded, and walked out
smiling.
Nonetheless,
The
Cowl
editorial board still feels that this
p a i n t i n g a l s o r e p r e s e n t s the
overcrowded conditions on the
P C campus. The s m a l l black
square i n the middle represents
the space available, the larger
red square s u r r o u n d i n g it
represents tjie students, and the
largest
green
square
emcompassing a l l represents the
tuition.

In addition to w o r k i n g out the
bumps and bruises of the women
athletes, C e r r a w i l l coach the
women's cross country team that

They're out for revenge:
Gridders to face Stonehill Thursday
Ask a n y head coach. T h e first
game of the year, the p r o v e r b i a l
season's opener, is almost always
the hardest. A good premiere
often sets the tone for the rest of
the season, but on the other hand,
i f the graduated lettermen aren't
replaced adequately or if the
team can't get into g a m e condition i n t i m e ... well, there goes
the undefeated season.
A d d the e x t r a v a r i a b l e of
» revenge to these intangibles and
» you've got a pretty good idea of
f what's
facing
Providence
§ tomorrow night at 7:30 p . m . i n
* B r a i n t r e e . M a s s . , when Stonehill
I i meets P C . Revenge comes into
play because i n the nine years
Stonehill has played Providence,
they've never w o n .
" I don't think anyone would
like to beat us m o r e , " explained
Coach Chet Hanewich. " I t could
be our toughest game. Stonehill's
got a good tradition a n d they've
been enchancing their p r o g r a m . I
think they'll be i n a s i m i l a r
situation. Lots of mistakes w i l l be
made on both s i d e s . "
Looking ahead, one drawback
in the way of P C ' s victory plans is
the fact that there has been no
chance to scout Stonehill.
" W e l l have to rely on what
they've done i n the past, a n d if
they've changed anything, w e ' l l
compensate," said Hanewich.
" B o t h teams w i l l have a lot of
new people."
Nahigian hopeful:
Fall Friar baseball starts
By Mike David
This week C o a c h A l e x N a h i g i a n
welcomed 45 candidates to the
fall edition of P r o v i d e n c e College
baseball. C o m i n g off a d i s m a l
season i n w h i c h the F r i a r s
dropped a total of nine one-run
affairs while finishing w i t h a .227
team batting m a r k , N a h i g i a n is
hoping for an offensive explosion.
" L a s t season o u r pitching and
defense were more than adequate
but our hitting w a s subpar. In
fact, we only have one player
from last year's squad, t h i r d
baseman E d Bessinger, w i t h a
.300 average or better," he
stated.
The pitching, w h i c h recorded a
total of four individual shutouts,
w i l l r e t u r n h u r l e r s s u c h as
captain B o b Sheridan, E d M c Donald, Chuck K w o l e k , D i c k
R y a n , M i k e Zito and C h r i s Supra.
Able battery mates include M i k e
Reagan a n d R a y Rogmangello,
who shared the catching duty last
season.
Freshman
Steve
D e l l a P o s t a w i l l also challenge.
The infield, hurt by graduation,
m a y be the most delicate area for
Nahigian thus far.
" O u r infield w i l l b f strong at
first a n d t h i r d bases with D o n
Rahl and L o u Zammerelli
sharing the p l a y i n g t i m e at first
and E d Bessinger, a shortstop
last year, p l a y i n g third. It is the
middle where we a r e hurting.
" P h i l Sibiga hopefully
will
r e p l a c e the g r a d u a t e d J o e
M a r a c o c c i o at second base, a n d
freshman Steve O ' N e i l l or M i k e
G i a r r a t a n o w i l l take over at
short for bessinger,
aaaea
Nahigian.
The outfield also has some
holes to fill up the middle. " W e
have returning lettermen T o m
Bauer, Pete Reppucci and E d
Cahir returning this season, but
as i n the infield the middle might
be our major problem with freshm a n George Susce asked to fill
the hole i n c e n t e r , " Nahigian
said. A bird's eye view of the
season at this writing is difficult
to predict, but Coach Nahigian
feels t h a t m a n y r e t u r n i n g
starters gained immeasurable
experience from last year's play.
" O u r hitting must pick up and our
defense w i l l hopefully tighten up
with the experience and maturity
garnered this past y e a r , " concluded Coach Nahigian.
Coach B i l l Doyle: " O u r Opposition has improved i m mensely from last season. Teams
such as Boston U n i v e r s i t y ,
Boston College, U M a s s , UConn
and R I C a l l had 2 tremendous
recruiting years.
" O u r squad should actually be
stronger than last season if the
problem at left fullback c a n be
solved. M o v i n g Rabadán back on
defense isn't easy but m a n y
times a tough defense is the
difference between winning and
losing."
CROSSCOUNTRY
A perennial E a s t e r n power, the
F r i a r s w i l l look to improve on a
disappointing ninth-place finish
in the N C A A championships last
October. Northeastern will be
P C ' s number one nemesis this
season as Coach B o b A m a t o ' s
forces ge' ready to tackle the hills
and woods.
Strengths: John Treacy is back
after a super junior year. H i s
honors included N e w E n g l a n d
c h a m p and a l l - A m e r i c a n status
along with his fourth-place finish
in the Nationals last fall. G e r r y
Deegan comes highly rated from
the E m e r a l d Isle and could become a strong middle m a n . D a n
Dillon might achieve a l l - A m e r i can honors if he continues his
steady rate of improvement.
Weaknesses: Consistent M i c k
O'Shea is gone and the three-time
New E n g l a n d c h a m p will be
sorely missed.
Outlook: T h e B l a c k and White
should continue to keep its winn-
ing tradition intact by having
another outstanding season. B a r ring injuries, P C should retain its
number one New E n g l a n d ranking and a top five finish in the
Nationals is not an impossible
dream.
Individually, Treacy will continue to excel i n competition and
a i l - A m e r i c a n is almost a foregone conclusion Amato will continue to possess the best winning
percentage of any coach on
campus.
MEN'S TENNIS
On the upswing under the direction of Coach Jacques F a u l i s , the
F r i a r s will look to challenge
B r o w n as Rhode Island's number
one college team Faulise's netmen take to the courts with
prospects of a tough schedule
ahead of them.
Strengths: N u m b e r one singles
player Peter Lyons, reached the
semifinals in last year's Rhode
Island
Intercollegiate
Tennis
Tournament. Junior N e i l O'Hurley again will participate in
singles as well as team up with
Chris M c N e i l in doubles competition. O'Hurley became the first
F r i a r in seven years to outpoint a
B r o w n opponent and along with
M c N e i l gives Providence its
strongest twosome
in recent
years
Weaknesses: A s the program
gets bigger the schedule becomes
tougher and more demanding
The squad is still relatively young
and this could be a factor when
the F r i a r s get into the bulk of
their fall season. Strong fifth m a n
is still somewhat of a question
mark.
Outlook: The netmen just
might have their best season i n
quite some time. The talent is
here and it is only a matter of
whether that talent can be translated into wins. Lyons should
continue to challenge the best i n
the state a n d O'Hurley and
M c N e i l should not lag far behind.
F a u l i s e a n d his squad should
have themselves quite a fall c a m paign.
WOMEN'S TENNIS
Coach L i s a G i l b r i d e has her
forces ready to go as they encounter the toughest schedule the
L a d y F r i a r s have ever assembled. E v e r improving, the
team w i l l have its shot at stardom when the netters host the
New E n g l a n d Invitational i n
early October.
Strengths: M a r y A n n M c C o y ,
P C ' s F e m a l e Athlete of the Y e a r ,
returns after a stellar frósh season. " M a c " was easily P r o v i dence's most consistent player
last year. Sophomore Sue Hubbs
again w i l l anchor the second slot
as she looks to improve on her '76
record of 6-8. Hubbs came out on
the short end of many close
games last season a n d the past
year's seasoning could make a
difference. Sue Hawkes, Debbie
Noviello and co-captain Nancy
O ' H a r a w i l l battle for the remaining singles positions The doubles
slot will be a m p l y filled by T r i s h
B r u n o and co-captain Sue Sarcione. Bruno and Sarcione won
seven of thirteen matches including an upset w i n over a C l a r k
University duo, last year.
Weaknesses: The loss of L i s a
DeLouise will be a tough pill to
swallow as w i l l the severity of the
schedule. L a c k of a strong t h i r d
doubles team could cost the
squad a few close mathces.
Outlook: The j u r y is still out on
this year's team. In order to
finish above the .500 m a r k , P C is
going to need some outstanding
play. M c C o y should continue to
advance forward and the team of
B r u n o and Sarcione should give
their opponents fits.

Seaver.
Players to Watch: Big things
are expected from tight end
Sanzaro, who at 6-2 , 226 lbs., is
one of the team's biggest players.
Co-captains Coyne and Gallietto
are steady, experienced veterans
with
proven
leadership
capabilities. The passing combination of Lee to Tallman was
effective last year and should be
even more productive this
season.
Strengths: One of the biggest
turnouts in years (54 candidates)
has yielded some excellent freshman recruits.
The defensive line promises to
be just as tenacious as last year's
edition but with more emphasis
placed on speed and quickness
instead of size. Offensively there
is a group of talented running
backs spearheaded by Coyne and
Dick Smith. This is the year Lee
should develop into one of the top
signal callers in the conference.
Weaknesses: Start with the
fact that this season's squad is
the smallest in recent memory, in
fact, the most diminutive since
the early days when the club was
just formed* and proceed from
there.
One of the team's hardest
hitters, Gallietto had knee
surgery over the summer and his
rapid recovery is of maximum
importance to the defensive line.
The squad's best speed threat,
running back Rick Zolniez has
departed for greener pastures.
Coach Chet Hanewich: Despite
his team's less than imposing
size, Hanewich is optimistic.
"This is one of our most enthusiastic squads ever. It is
certainly the most ambitious.
Pride and dedication will have to
compensate for our weaknesses.
The attitudes have been super.
We've got some talented kids."

At a time when most people are
thinking about pennant races and
leaf-raking, the Providence
College basketball team is once
again in the headlines. In midsummer Vic Collucci, class of
1971, was named the new
assistant coach of the Friar five.
Collucci replaces Nick Macarchuk, who left Providence last
April for the head coaching post
at Canisius College in Buffalo.
Collucci was chosen from a
group of approximately 200
applicants.
The
assistant
coaching job is quite a windfall
for young aspiring coaches. Dave
Gavitt and Bill O'Connor, along
with Nick Macarchuk, had held
the position before moving on to
head coaching jobs at other
colleges.
Collucci returns to his alma
mater
after
a
successful
coaching career at the high
school and small college levels.
Known best for his long range
bombing (he once scored 36
points vs. U C L A ) , V i c has
developed into a defensively
oriented
coach,
which
is
something dear to Coach Gavitt's
heart.

After guiding Killingly High
School in Danielson, Conn., to two
winning seasons and an Eastern
Conference Connecticut championship Collucci moved on to the
college ranks in 1973, taking over
the head coach's reins at Roger
Williams College. He compiled an
impressive 74-21 overall record
and in 1974 led his forces to the
NAIA national tournament.
The young, personable Collucci
is expected to take over the bulk
of the recuriting job and to assist
Steve O'Neill
coaches Gavitt and Adams in
running the 1977-78 version of
Friar basketball.
"Basically, I'm going to be
assisting coaches Gavitt and
Adams in any way possible.
Although it is too early to tell, it
seems like I will be doing a lot of
recruiting. I've gotten a late
jump on the other recruiters, but
I feel that I can do a good job,"
enthused Collucci. With Vic Collucci added to the staff, the Friar
basketball forces should be in for
many more strong campaigns.

PC's recruiting crop:
Friars strike it rich with four frosh athletes

Each
new
scnool
year,
Providence
College's
rich
athletic tradition is kept alive by
the enrollment of highly sought
and talented freshmen athletes
who have made the decision to
display their skills on the
Dominican campus. Four of this
year's recruits, Kathy Lenahan,
Gerry Deegan, Rich Hunger, and
Steve O'Neill, are the subjects of
our preseason outlook on PC
sports this year.
Kathy Lenahan is a multitalented athlete from Orange,
Conn. It was there that she
played field hockey, basketball,
and S o f t b a l l all four years.
Ironically, it is mainly Lenahan s
skills in ice hockey that were
sought by the women's athletic
department here at PC. Lenahan
played for a park and recreation
squad in West Haven during her
high school days. It was at a
game in Cranston, R.I attended
bv Tom Palamara that the Lady
Friar's hockey coach realized the
potential of the 18-year-old Amity
Regional High School student.
Kathy plans to participate in
three
hockey,
sports
this
ice hockey,
year:
a n d
field
Softball.
Gerry Deegan is n o t a typical
here in America.
First of all, he is from Ireland.
Secondly, he is 22 years old. And
thirdly, h e has decided to attend
c o l l e g e only after four years of
full-time work in his family's
engineering business and "going
as far as I could on a practical
level."
Deegan will be spending his
hours
studying
business
management courses here at
Providence to prepare for the
day when he will be taking over
his father's firm. Between study
hours and classes, however, the
Irishman is expected to continue
the great tradition that was
established here four years ago
by his close friend Mick O'Shea.
Deegan is an exceptionally
gifted runner, having participated in four international
races alone this past summer. In
one of those events, Gerry
finished second to Rod Dixon in
5,000 meter competition and
ahead of PC star trackman John
Treacy.
Citing the past experiences of
college student
other Irish runners here at P C as
the reason for his decision to
attend Providence, Deegan also
offered the fact the track coach
Bob Amato's trip to Ireland four
years ago and his subsequent
discussion with Gerry's parents
about Providence College, was a
major factor in his coming to
Friarland.
Gerry expects to be racing in
5,000 and 10,000 meter events as
well as the one and two mile
competition this year.
Rich Hunger is a 6-9 basketball
player from Montreal who was
first contacted by PC coach Dave
Gavitt in late spring and decided
shortly thereafter to come to
Providence.
"I liked the school better than
the other schools I visited," said
Hunger. "It had a good business
program and I was impressed
with Coach Gavitt and the
situation of the team. The
campus was nice, too."
Hunger's claim to fame did not
come through stardom in high
school, however. In fact, during
the last years of his high school
education, extracurricular activities were wiped out, and Rich
never managed to play for any
school team. Instead,
the
amiable Canadian played for a
Y M C A squad and then this past
summer, was on the Canadian
National Team that travelled to
Cuba and Brazil.
In analyzing the situation.
Hunger admitted, "It would have
been a bit of help if I played high
school ball, but I guess it comes
out even in the end since the high
school players did not have a
chance to play the international
ball that I did."
As far as his first season of
action here at P C is concerned,
Hunger realizes that he will
probably not have much playing
time.
"Mainly it will be a learning
experience and an adjustment to
big-time basketball. I think that
practice sessions alone will be
good experience for me since
some of these players are among
the best in the country."
Steve O'Neill comes to PC by
way of Framingham, Mass., and
Northwood Prep in Lake Placid,
N Y . He plans to play both hockey
and baseball and was recruited
by both PC coaches this year.
O'Neill made his decision to
come to the Rhode Island campus
back in February, one week after
touring the P C grounds.
"I liked the campus because of
its size and the coaches and
students I met were good to me,"
said the Massachusetts native. "I
also liked the P C baseball
program better than Boston
College's."
O'Neill was first contacted by
PC baseball coach Alex Nahigian
when he was a junior at
Framingham South High School.
He maintained his interest in
Providence
throughout
the
remainder of his high school
career and into his year at prep
school. Although his original
intentions were to attend BC,
Steve had a change of mind
during the year and enrolled at
Providence.
In hockey, O'Neill played left
wing in high school and was
leading scorer in his league for
two years. In baseball, Steve will
be shooting for the shortstop
position on the Friar squad in the
spring.
