Thespians Djscover Comedy ~The Ciftof the Coulihans' By Maura K. W e dge

The Dramatic Society has dis­covered "som ething n ew under the sun" in the form of a n original

script by Eileen Driscoll entitled The Gift of the Coulihans.

The plot of the comedy, which opens on Sunday, May 5 at 8 p .m. ,

concerns itself with th e r estoration of a n Irish g h ost town devastated by the curse of an old seeress.

Sheila Carroll '57 stars as ex­movie queen . Karen L awlor, w ho is the first g u est a t the local inn s ince the curse was utter ed. Featured as the obnoxiously British mother a nd da u ghter, Ermintrude a nd Ar­t.emis Benning, are M a ura K. W edge '57 a nd Barbara O 'H eir '57, while Eleanor H eywood '57 appears as Karen's flippant niece, Cathy

Dow ling, and Ellen Kelly '60 flut­ters about as the inn's m a nageress,

Noreen. The prologue, which re-enacts the

scene of the curse, includes Mar­garet Clark '58 as the hopef ul bride, K ate Couliha n , Dorothy Wallace '59 as her n asty potential

mother-in-law, L ady M a illard , a nd Joan K eefe '58 a3 the seeress,

Catherine Coulihan. William H alpin of Suffolk Uni­

ver s ity is f eatured as F a ther Couliha n , while Frank Greco, Jam es O'Hearn , J ames Donnelly,

Emile Thibault, Fra nk McLellan and Jeremy Hughes, all of Boston College, complet e the cast.

Dramatic coach , Charles K elly is directin g t h e production a nd F elice T aylor '58 is stage manager.

"HOLD THAT POSE," commands Chades K elly, director, to cast m em ­bers Felice Taylor '58, B arbara O'Helr '57, and! James O'Hearn of Boston College as they rehearse a scen e from Emmanuel's commencement play,

"The Gift of the Coulihans."

To earmark the year 's work, an out-going editor 's

last issue calls for the p erennial, concluding editor­

ial. T o adopt a complacen t attitude by si tting back

and surveying denotes provincialism and b uilds

nothing constructive.

Horizons widen, h owever , in the light of a ma­

ture review. What was accomplished signals future

possibilities. The Focus initiated the Civic Cita tion award to

encourage and serve as a signp ost to colleg iate

participation in volunteer service. A program such

as this cannot be immediately evaluated. Success

depends on the degree to which Emmanuel students

assum~ community leadership after graduation.

As a support to the Studen t Government's pur­

pose to help the individual develop full capaci ty

through intellectual gr owth, The Focus has tried to

lay grea ter stress on the intellectual side of college

li fe, ;vithout neglecting the other aspects. A new

addition, the Student Government column, kept the

students in touch with the planning and decisions

made by the Student Council.

The primary function of a college paper aims a t

the service of faculty and students. The cooperation

of both implemented Focus copy. The p ersevering

productiveness of the staff shaped the material into

the monthly chronicle.

From the editor's point of view, the multi-faceted

fruits of working with others t o publish The Focus result in a non-definable satisfaotion which har­

monizes with a liberal arts education- the develop­

ment of the wh ole person.

Segregation, the subj ec t of current controversy,

does not lie within the confines of the Southern

states. 11he problem, no matter h ow acute in the

U.S. , assumes more serious implications in the

Union of South Africa.

Throughoulj that en tire country, segregation or " apartheid" (as it is called), is enveloping every segment of life, education not excepted. Not satis­

.fi.e~ with ha ' ing seven 9 ' the ·Union's nine univer­sltles segregated, the government IS determmed

that the other two shall be forced to segregate also.

Through proposed legislation, they plan to consign

the South African Negro to tribal colleges and per­manent educational inferiority in accordance with

their theory that there is no room for the African

in European civilization above certain levels of

m enial work.

At stake is the principle of integrated, equal edu­

cati on and the principle of governmental non-in­

terference in academic policy decisions of private

universities_ In support of the National Union of

South Africa students, the National Students As­

sociation has condemned the imposition of apar­

theid in the hope of channelling world educational

opinion to cause the government to withdraw such

a bill.

The Feast of the Annunciation marked the initia­

t ion of the simplified Eucharistic fast. The new

ruling, makes the three-hour abstinence from

solids, and the one hour fr om liquids, applicable to

morning and evening masses. Discarding the midnight fast may appear revo­

lutionary to some. It must be remembered, how­ever, that fasting is only an external manifestation

of an internal preparation for receiving the Holy

Eucharist. On the collegiate level, the new ruling prefixes

two major possibilities. It constitutes the realization

of the first plateau of Archbishop Cushing's plan

for daily mass and communion on campus in the

future. Here and now, it should provide the spring­

board for an increase in fervor as collegians make

attendance at mass and the reception of the Holy

Communion inseparable_

Spotlights Jobs on Individuals

One definit~ as3et of the show is the performance

of Maria Fein as George's half-crazed wife, Char­

lotte. In an almost impossible role, she runs the

emotional gamut for the length of an entire scene,

and runs it magnificently. Walter Slezak, on the

other hand, is n ot deserving of superlatives yet. His

performance as the vain, dissolute monarch does

sh ow promise of eventual mastery of the role, but

at present, he is having line difficulties which result

in a slowed and uncertain timing. These are not

ser ious flaws, h owever , and repeated performances

should give him the necessary polish.

Current information concerning careers in professions and industry, or summer jobs is available in the many folders on display in the of­fice.

The services of t he bureau ex­tend far beyond job placement. "The ideal situation," Miss Mullin claims, "is to have a personal in­terview with each student, to dis­cuss her interests in a particular car eer."

Soph Explores Dorm Problenl Dear Editor:

Before embarking , for Europe, Sister Alice Gertrude announced to the students plans for the PfO­posed addition to the convent and a new dormitory. While campus un­animity about the faculty exten­sion exists, a diversity as to the dormitory expansion is definitely evident.

In the fall of 1955, Emmanuel, long considered a day-hop school, opened Marian Hall with a resident section to house forty-four stu­dents. Student reaction presented a united front towards the new ven­ture.

The proposal of an additional dorm, however, has not been met with similar r eactions. Comments range from, "It will create a divi­sion between the residents and day­hops," to "Let's not go looking for trouble."

The feeling that a new dorm would set up tension eliminates an understanding of the prime pur­pose of Emmanuel.

The over-aU picture demands consideration. A new dorm would enable girls from great distances to come and share in our heritage. In the light of these consideration::!, students should orientate their attitudes so that which is truly beneficial will not be turned into a source of friction.

Sincerely yours, Alice Ash '59

Clubs CompJete Unity At Bi-annual Councils By SUP. Murphy

Th e club system constitutes on e of the rnost >(n ­

portant contributions to t he educational commu~ity in furthering the intellectual growth of the indi­vidual student. At Emlrlanuel, which is primarily a day college, co-curricular activities serve as the prin­cipal bO:1d in uniting collegians.

In an effort to make the club system as effective as possible, the Student Government Association has outlined plans for the formation of a club council. Members will include all club moderators and presi­dents, plus a coordinating member of Student Coun­cil. They wllI meet twice a year in the spring and late fall .

At the spring meeting, each club will submit a tentative schedule of the coming year's activities. Plans for joint club meetings and speci!'.! combined events would be initiated and compiled.

In May Student Government will distribute evalua­tion sheets to faculty and students. In the light of comments and constructive criticisms noted, the Associat ion will consider this year's agenda and formulate plans for the coming year.

Language Instructor Proves Art and Science Integration By Theresa Dobrowolski

Varied activities to overcome political obstacles have helped Miss Eleanor Korzeniowska attain her present position as an educator at Emmanuel.

Her childhood and early educa­tion centered in Stryj, Poland, her birthplace. Both her parents taught elementary school; her father later became a Polish army officer. After the Russian invasion of Poland,

She became a member of the faculty in the Russian de­partment. Presently translating scientific data for the "Foreign Service Bureau," Miss Korzeniow­ska sustabs her interest in art by illustrating microscopiC plant life for Dr. I. Mackenzie Lamb of Har­vard University.

"Translation of foreign scientific research data and scientific draw­ing currently present unlimited op­portunities for students interested and qualified in this area," states Miss Korzeniowska.

A search through past Epiloglles reveals the various ways and activi­ties that have gone into the mak­ings of a traditional Junior Week.

The climax of any college social season is the class prom, an event always observed by Emmanuel's junior classes. During the late twenties, junior class day m ade its initial appearance but not as an introduction to a Junior Week. The junior prom came early in the sec­ond semester's activities; class day with its evening informal dance took place in the late spring.

The Class of 1935 established the junior class day tradition as it is now observed. It was this class who suggested the mass, commun­ion breakfast, and general assem­bly.

The week the current junior class is anticipating, with its class day, and week-long activities cul­minating with the prom came in the mid-forties. At this time two of the most popular of the week's events were the junior-freshman luncheon and the roller skating party.

Now juniors and freshmen high­light Freshman Week with their joint luncheon in mid-September.

The present Junior Week carries the older traditions of the prom and class day in addition to the newer ones of the class banquet, theatre night, and parents' night en tertainmen t.

Director Discloses Career Openings

For PubJic Relations and Advertising By Barbara Plociennik

The recent College-Communica­tions Conference has touched off questions concerning public rela­tions opportl;nities for women. To Phyllis Doherty, director of ad­vertising and publicity for WNAC, WNAC-TV, and the Yankee Net­work, "The field of public relations is wide open for any major who has two important pre-requisites. All that is needed is a flair for writing and a sense of humor."

\

Miss Doherty, a graduate of Sim­mons College of Business Admin­istration, wi'h a journalism and public relations minor, obtained her first position as an editorial assist­ant for a trade magazine, The New England Purchaser. She remained there three years, obtaining a firm foundation in all facets of journal­ism.

She then moved to the Yankee Network in charge of advertising and public relations. Her first year there, she won the Billboard Award for publicity in New England. With the advent of television, she was

At present her job consists of creating ads for newspapers and planning personal appearances for the stars. In the past, she has es­corted "around the circuit" such notables as Perry Como, Ed Sul­livan, and Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.

Dispelling some of the glamor connected with this field Miss Doherty explains, "You have a threefold obligation: to the sponsor, to the program staff, and last and most important, to your employer. You are the key between the sta­tion and the magazines, newspap­ers, and public; you can't afford to leave a bad impression."

Miss Doherty feels that graduate school is not essential for break­ing into the field since the oppor­tunities are growing. Advertising firms now set up their own pub­licity departments and firms are organized specifically to handle the public relations of different cor­porations.

The moat strikinr,' feature of the Chrysler Collection 1·" its diversity. 2'.1cst American coIl ·.,tkns tend to orientate themselves in particular areas. Mr, Chrysler is considered a. most unorthodox collector, as his interest ranges from the 16th cen­tury masters to controversial mod­erns.

He first began to develop a col­lection during his student days in the 1920's, buying largely the ex­perimental work of artists who have since been recognized as the masters of the first third of the 20th century. During the 1930's his interests broadened and since then he has added an almost encyclo­pedic representation of European artists of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, while continuing his interest in the contemporary. Works of such celebrated painters as Rubens, Rembrandt, Titian, Chardin, Goya, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso distinguish his collection.

The variations in his collection have a distinct value to the public. Here is assembled a group repre­sentating every period of art from the 16th century. The exhibition presents an opportunity to place the recent in contact with the past and makes it possible to bridge the gap between contemporary art and

public opinion. A study of this collection of lOa

paintings and five sculptures en­ables those at ease with the art of the past to advance to a knowledge of more recent art.

Sociology Majerr States \:f, McCo·y Case Imbroglio By Mary Ryder

Hildy M'_Coy is the central figure in a lega l battle which eliCits opin­ions from p eople prominent in many walks of life. Some of these opinions, opposing the "Catholic position," emphasize that the child should remain with the Ellises who are the only parents she has known ; it is unfa ir to make her a pawn in a religious controversy.

"In· my opinion, there shouldn't even be a controversy," comments Sue Kelley '57. "The Ellises are legally and morally wrong."

Sue, a sociology major, points out that Hildy's mother sought the return of the child one month after she had been placed in the Ellis home. "Because of her concern for Hildy's welfare and strong religious convictions, the mother has sub­jected herself to much unfavorable publicity. Unfortunately, she did not discover that child was in a Jewish home until thirty days after

the child had been placed there by a doctor and a lawyer.

"Six year;; later, the Ellises are clinging to the child, in spite of t he will of the mother. They are fugitives from justice-they are fleeing a kidnapping charge in the Massachusetts courts."

"Certainly, the child has been depriveJ of a stable home life," Sue continues. "Uprooted a number of times, forced into hiding, living unde,r a shadow, Hildy can not feel any sense of stability or security."

"We she,uld not allow ourselves to be carried on the tide of emo­tionalism :n viewing this case," Sue concludes. "For the welfare of the child, and in the interest of justice, Hildy should either be returned to her mother or be placed with a qualified adoption agency for place­ment in a home which will give her emotional security as well as the religion to which she is entitled."
