DEFINITELY THE WING-T FORMATION, THAT’S KNUTE
“SHEILA” ROCKNE WITH THE BALL.
Plans Discussed
For 1963 May Day
By SUE FARRELL
Kathy Connors, ’63 enthusi­astically
says, “May Day 1963
will be a culmination of new
approaches.” Kathy is Religious
Affairs chairman for The Col­lege
of Saint Rose. She recent­ly
chaired a meeting open to
the entire student body. This
meeting concerned afterthoughts
on May Day 1962 along with
ideas for next year’s demon­stration.
—Speakers Bureau
The three-fold committee
plan, initiated this year, proved
effective and will be used again
next year. In addition to the
three steering committees,
there will be a speaker’s
bureau.
Kathy hopes that this bureau
will pave the way towards bet­ter
communication between the
College and the participants
from parishes and schools. But
more importantly, this bureau’s
aim will be greater spiritual
emphasis through personal con­tact.
Student awareness and re­sponsibility
will also be real­ized
as girls, not particularly
from the executive team, will
be asked to approach parishes
and schools. But now is the
time for each girl to help make
May Day 1963 fitting for the
Mother of God.
This help can be given now
by way of criticism and sugges­tions
because plans for May
Day 1963 will be drafted this
summer.
WELL, THEY DIDN’T WIN —
THAT’S A CINCH.
AND TO PROVE THAT NOT ALL AT THE A.C. PICNIC
WAS ATHLETICS. . . .
CCD Offers Summer Training Course;
Saint Rose Girls Receive Certificates
In cooperation with the Al­bany
diocese Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine office, Siena
College has instituted a pro­gram
of teacher training, lead­ing
to certification as a CCD
catechist.
Fifieen girls from CSR at­tended
a seven-week course at
Siena this semester. CCD cer­tification
requires 30 hours in
both methods and doctrine. The
d o c t r i n e requirement was
waived for CSR girls because
of their previous training jn
theology. The girls attended
methods classes on Sunday
afternoons.
Among those receiving CCD
certificates were R. Bilas, S.
Cain, J. Carroll, P. Ceresia, P.
Corr, M. Dahlke, M. Greller,
and L. Holland. Others includ­ed
were C. Kenosian, M. Mor-rone,
K. Napierski, M. O’Hara,
C. Sacchetti, M. Schultz, and B.
Slezak.
This course will be offered
again this summer at Siena
from June 28 to August 8. The
methods course will be held
Monday through Thursday from
7:00 to 9:30 p.m. Since the
course is offered on a non­credit
basis, there are no fees
for tuition or texts. Further in­formation
may be secured from
Father Christopher Ruggeri,
O.F.M., at Siena.
Century Old Novel
Is "Must" Reading
By Patsy Money
Give all to love;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days.
Estate, good-fame . . .
. , . Leave all for love.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
This poem might well be used
as a summation of the beauti­fully
moving novel of the last
century, Leo Tolstoy’s, Anna
Karenina.
Anna, a quiet, intelligent,
charming member of Russian
society, is, at the opening of
the book, a capable wife and a
devoted mother. One night at a
dance she meets a young Rus­sian
army officer, the suave,
handsome Alexy Vronsky. Their
eyes meet; they dance. They
fight against the attraction that
overwhelms them, but it is use­less—
from this moment for­ward,
love for the other is in­delibly
imprinted in the heart
of each of them.
With marvelous insight into
the emotions of a woman, Tol­stoy
relates Anna’s anguish at
being faced with losing either
family, estate, and respect . . .
or the man she loves. The read­er
shares Anna’s elation when
she is with Vronsky, mixed
with the sorrow of knowing
that she can never again be a
mother to the young son whom
she has abandoned. Anna’s tor­ture
of soul when she feels that
love alone is no longer enough
to satisfy Vronsky is sympa­thetically
portrayed.
The book comes to a shock­ing
climax when Anna, obsess­ed
with the terror that Vron­sky’s
love is waning, and that
she will soon be left with noth­ing,
throws herself in front of
a train.
It is a ra re ability that en­ables
a man to capture the
heart and mind of a woman as
feelingly as has Tolstoy in this
novel. Yet a t the same time he
manages to point out the trag­edy
and futility of illicit love.
Anna Karenina is a book that
should be enjoyed and cher­ished
by every woman.
