FATHER CURLEY
SPEAKS MONDAY
The annual Career Week at the
College will begin this year on
Monday, March 5. The first speaker
will be Rev. John Curley, who will
discuss the “Lay Apostolate” at the
11:00 o’clock period.
The topic deals with the advan­tages
of working in the world as a
teacher, secretary, chemist, house­wife,
or mother in order to promote
the Church and her aims.
Father Curley is the assistant
pastor of Saint Peter’s parish of the
Albany diocese in Saratoga. He is
also the Dii'ector of C.Y.O. activities
in that area.
ice and jobs connected with the
F.B.I.
In the field of social work, stu­dents
will receive information from
experts connected with Catholic
Charities, the Red Cross, the Girl
Scouts, and other related fields.
The nursing profession will be
represented by a member of the
New York State Nurse’s Associa­tion
from the Office of Personnel
and Placement.
The panels will be followed by
question and answer periods. For
names of the speakers consult the
displays on Career Week in the
Social Room of the Science Hall.
In conjunction with career week,
the February meeting of Euclid
Ciicle was concerned with profes­sional
opportunities in Mathematics.
Five different opportunities were
discussed as the character of the
work, suggestions concerning college
courses necessary for the particular
professional work, and a rough
estimate of the range of salaries in
the respective work.
The first profession discussed was
that of the teacher of mathematics.
To be properly qualified to teach
mathematics, the prospective teacher
must take such college courses in
math that will enable him to under­stand
the fundamental principles of
math as well as many related
courses as possible, in order to
broaden his math outlook. Tne
successful teacher should like his
work, be fond of young people and
be willing to teach his students as
well as his subject. For the begin­ning
high school teacher possessing
an A. B. degree, most states set
the minimum salary at $2,400. The
financial remuneration of a college
professor varies greatly with the
institution. The beginning salary
of an instructor with a Doctor’s
degree might be about $3,000 while
the maximum salary of a full pro­fessor
may range from $5,000 to
about $15,000.
Mathematical statistics is a field
which has greatly come into prom­inence
during the last 25 years.
Statisticians are employed in con­nection
with biological and agri­cultural
experimentation and in the
field of government there has been
a considerable increase of statistical
activity in surveys in census work,
economics, social security, and labor
statistics. The training of mathe­matical
statisticians involves a con­siderable
amo u n t of advanced
mathematics. There are probably
now opportunities in business and
government for women with statis­tical
training than there are in col­lege
training. Academic salaries for
beginning instructors in mathemati­cal
statistics with Ph.D. degrees
range between $3,000 and $4,500 per
year. Beginning salaries for stu­dents
trained to the B. A. or M. A.
level in mathematical or applied
statistics range from $2,400 to $3,600
per year and the positions are
usually in government, business or
industry. These persons, especially
those trained to the B. A. level,
often play the role of assistants to
more highly trained persons.
Mathematics plays an important
role in the industrial laboratory
also. Industrial mathematicians act
primarily as consultants. As a con-
Shadows Offers
Religious Play for
Lenten Production
On March 15 and 16, Shadows
will present one of its two major
productions of this year in matinee
and evening performances. “Song
At the Scalfold" departs from the
traditional Passion plays but retains
the religious theme. It tells of six­teen
Nuns of the Carmelite Com­munity
of Compeigne who went to
their death at the guillotine during
the days of the French Revolution.
Emmet Lavery has skillfully adapted
the play from Gertrud von le Fort’s
original novel.
While the frame of the story lies
in France, the mood and theme
are universal. Vicki Merlini plays
the sensitive Blanche who hopes
to become a Carmelite, as does
Anne Davis as Sister Constance, a
young postulant. Madame de Chalis,
Vera Gander, is the governess who
brings Blanche to Reverend Mother,
Mary Collins. Joan Whiting por­trays
the proud but courageous
Sister Marie, a very dramatic char­acter.
Sister Jeanne, Mary Cay
Conway, appears as the eldest mem­ber
of the community. Jacqueline
Drabent, Eileen Curran, Betty Ann
Richards, Mary Burton and Marilyn
Garrity also portray nuns.
In direct contrast with the con­vent
scenes are those of the rabble
of the revolution. Constance Fenner
appears as the remarkable Market
Woman; Jane Hay, as the peculiar
Old Crone; Jean McDonald as the
dynamic Young Dancer; Nancy
Wallingford, as the strange Old
Beggar; and Betty Ann Welch, as
the Intellectual. Participating in
mob scenes are: Rosemary Carroll,
Anne Smith, Mary lamurri. Ceil
Rutkowski, Dolores Wyszomirski,

Brown.
sultant he works with engineers,
working on the more difficult prob­lems.
He should be able to formu­late
them and suggest experiments
when necessary. Opportunities for
B. A.’s and M. A.’s in mathematics
alone are limited since such persons
do not normally possess the qualifi­cations
for employment either as
engineers or as physicists. Algebra,
Trigonometry, Elements of Calculus
and Differential Equations are the
