' Flying Nun' - Slater Cemllle poaed In front of the plene mentioned In her column (below).

As we begin the 1975-76 school year on campus, I should like to share with you an exciting experience I had in July when our aerial photographer, Bob McCoy, invited me to accompany him on his mission of filming Cardinal Stritch College from a four-passenger airplane.

Accordingly, our Publicity Office sent out news releases about the Col­lege's " flying nun" seeking a bird 's-eye view of our Fox Point-Glendale site.

On a sl ightly overcast day, I trav­eled in space over " Stritchland" .. . and took many " unofficial" pictures, including the enlarged snapshot on the front page of th is issue of Stritch '75.

I would have to admit that I beamed with pride over what I saw below: the total campus ; the new St. Francis Children 's Activity and Achievement Center; the freshly paved parking areas ; the lush landscape enhanced by the nearness of Lake Michigan ; and the large sector of yet-to-be developed open lahd. It seemed as if I were view­ing the " greening of Stritch" from above.

Even with in those few fleeting mo­ments, I realized how much has been accomplished in the growth and de­velopment of the College 's programs and services and, yet, how much room there is for expansion by way of capi­tal improvement projects, such as an auditorium-gymnasium, art facilities, and additional classroom and office space ... st ill to be planned on the drawing boards.

Each time I view the pictures since touching down at the airport, I am grateful for all that has been achieved and pray that our dreams for the fu­ture will come true.

Special Art Exhibit Planned for October To Give Recognition to Sister Thomasita

Paintings Reflect Travels While the noted OSF Sister-artist­

educator has created countless arti­facts in almost all media, her current exhibition will concentrate on nearly 90 oil paintings produced during the past year. " Cosmopolitan " is the most appropriate description covering Sister

Ho pitalit Dinner Held For Stud nt Advi or

High school guidance counselors from Milwaukee and Southeastern Wis­consin were guests of Cardinal Stritch College for a " Hospitality Night" pro­gram on Tues., Sept. 16.

Campus tours were followed by a social hour in Cardinal Lounge and a dinner in Serra Hall.

Sr. M. Camille Kliebhan , president, addressed the group, and James J. Spitz, director of admissions, was in charge of arrangements.

Thomasita's oils . . . for they draw heavily upon experiences and inspira­tion she has had and felt as a leader of art-tours to many parts of the world.

Since Sister Thomasita's first trip abroad in 1950, she has visited many nations of the East and the West: Aus­tria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Eng­land, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Bel­gium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Gua­temala, Costa Rica, South America, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, Greece, Yugo­slavia, Portugal , and Spain.

Along the way, she has also gath­ered a collection of over 60,000 film slides for reference, art classes, and travelogue lectures.

Exhibit Highlights Career In the words of Sr. M. Camille Klieb­

han, president : " Cardinal Stritch Col­lege is proud to sponsor this special exhibition in recognition of Sister Thomasita's distinguished record of achievement in the fine arts and her many years of service as head of our Art Department since 1947. Few indi­viduals have contributed as much or worked as hard as she to enrich the cultural atmosphere of metropolitan Milwaukee and the State of Wiscon­sin. "

To commemorate the event, Sister Camille and Sr. Leandra Eckelkamp, director of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi , have jointly commissioned the printing of a special booklet dedicated to Sister Thomasita and featuring rep­resentative reproductions from her 1975 show.

• "Welcome Week" for new freshmen

and transfer students extended from Mon., Sept. 1, through Fri. , Sept 5. On Labor Day, Clare Residence Hall was opened, campus tours were conducted, and the President's Reception was held in Serra Hall at 3:00p.m.

Tuesday's schedule featured convo­cations conducted by the dean of stu­dents and the academic dean, chorus interviews, and an all-College picnic on the west campus. Wednesday was devoted to completing reg istration ar­rangements and purchasing books­with an excursion boat trip on Lake Michigan available in the afternoon.

Classes began on Thurs. , Sept. 4, and a " Get Acquainted" dance was held in Serra Hall the next evening.

Stritch Cooperates with Many Other Institutions For independent institutions of higher education, one of the ways of ensuring

maximum use of limited resources is to join with other colleges and universities, libraries, and community agencies in the joint sharing of available personnel, programs, and physical plants. Another advantage of inter-institutional coopera­tion and consortium arrangements is the financial dimension of possible cost­cutting and collective fund raising.

Cardinal Stritch College presently participates in ten such partnership plans, according to a detailed report prepared recently by Sr. M. Aquin Miller, director of institutional research.

College Cooperates with Many Along with other accredited four­

year institutions in the state, Stritch belongs to (a) the Wisconsin Associa­tion of Independent Colleges and Uni­versities, which collaborates on public service and legislative affairs, and (b) the Wisconsin Foundation of Independ­ent Colleges, which raises additional gift contributions for members in sub­stantial amounts each year from busi­ness and industry.

d

Stri tch 's teaching faculty includes a number of new faces this fall as a result of personnel expansions and necessary replacements in the various academic departments, according to Sr. Barbara Marie Weithaus, dean.

Full-time appointments include : Mrs. Donna Bari , home economics ; Mrs. Tia Rosati Bojar, education ; Mrs. Jonelle Comerford, mathematics ; Sr. Johanna Flanagan, special education ; Sr. Cor­ine Leary, music; and Edwardine Po­blocki , theatre arts.

Through the Council of Wisconsin Librarians, headquartered at Madison, a state-wide pool of book and research resources is made available to all li­braries- including Stritch.

Closer to home, the St. Francis Chil­dren 's Activity and Achievement Cen­ter, owned and operated by the Wis­consin Society for Brain-Injured Chil ­dren, provides a laboratory school on campus for student teaching and pro­fessional research.

The Wisconsin Association of Higher Education is an overriding " umbrella organization" of accredited public and independent colleges and universities that facilitates regular contacts and ex­changes of ideas between administra­tors of higher education programs across the state.

Other Consortia Noted The Allied Health Coordinating Coun­

cil of Southeastern Wisconsin is a Mil­waukee-based group which has proj­ects of interest and concern to Stritch's Home Economics Department.

In addition to the above, Stritch works closely with other independent institutions in Milwaukee as follows : (a)

our College and St. Francis De Sales College exchange faculty members each semester; (b) the Education De­partments of Stritch, Alverno, Mar­quette, and Mount Mary meet regularly to discuss teacher preparation pro­grams and related problems; and (c) Stritch participates in the Naval Re­serve Officers Tra ining Corps program (NROTC) under the auspices of Mar­quette University.

Finally, the U. S. Army's Reserve Of­ficer Training Corps program (ROTC) is carried out at Stritch in conjunction with UW-Milwaukee.

Adult Classes Feature Variety of Interests

Over 40 adult enrichment courses will be conducted this fall through the Continuing Studies Division, ac­cording to Sr. Andree Gaspard, pro­gram coordinator.

Areas of instruction include art, drama, finance, foreign languages, his­tory, music, psychology, theology, travel , yoga, and others. Classes are scheduled throughout daytime and evening hours.

Among new offerings are parental awareness sessions, studies of Japan, and " The Press and the Public." Mr. Frank Zeidler, former mayor of Mil­waukee, will conduct a course on " The 'Good Life' in Wisconsin." Sr. Thoma­sita Fessler is offering a 6-session se­ries entitled " Travel : Tips & Treats." In addition, Sr. Vivian Mary Hopkins

Stritch Has Long History of Achievement In Training Special Education Teachers

Last year's evaluation report of the North Central Association 's visitation team described Cardinal Stritch College 's graduate programs as " among the best in the nation in reading and special education." In addition, the NCA's visitors encouraged the College to publicize these offerings " without being excessively modest" in such efforts.

A?ting acco_rdingly, it should be . reported that Stritch provides programs in Spec tal Education at three academ1c levels : (1) a two-year Associate of Arts degree program to train paraprofessionals ; (2) a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree program to prepare teachers of the mentally retarded ; and (3) Master of Arts degree programs- with concentration upon Learning Disabilities, Mental Re­tardation, or Special Religious Education (MR).

Two Alumni Intern In Dietetics Training Two 1975 graduates who majored

in foods and nutrition have been awarded professional internships in dietetics.

These alumni are Anne Brady, Mil­waukee, interning at St. Michael 's Hos­pital , Milwaukee ; and Gary Johnsen, West Allis, training at Columbia Hos­pital here.

To accommodate growing enroll­ments, faculty increases, and academic program expansion, a number of phy­sical plant improvements were made this past summer. These projects ranged from the purchase of new li­brary equipment to the relocation of certain faculty and administrative of­fices - and from repaving one of the main parking lots to tuckpoint work on the Administration Building. The ma­jor .development, however, was the im­plementation of the College's plan for fuller utilization of the Stritch Reading Laboratory as a graduate facility.

Ne Arrangements Told

According to Dr. Robert F. Flahive, vice president, the following steps were taken. (1) Four available rooms on the ground floor of the Reading Lab have been converted into (a) a com­bined classroom-library for the Chil­dren's Literature course - thus pro­viding additional space in the College Library, (b) a graduate student lounge, (c) the Testing Materials Center, and (d) a Graduate Division seminar room.

In addition, two portable security gates were purchased earlier this year for placement on the ground floor and first floor of Serra Hall during evening functions.

Office Changes Noted

Elsewhere on campus, Education Department personnel now occupy faculty offices in the Administration Building formerly assigned to the Psy­chology Department. This has freed space in the Teacher Education Center for its general reorganization and the relocation of the "curriculum collec­tion" from the College Library.

The Mathematics Department's com­puter terminal has been moved to Duns Scotus 114, which will again be used as a classroom. In turn , the Alumni As­sociation and Mothers Club offices (formerly in DS 114) have been shifted back to the respective clubrooms of these organizations - on the ground floor of the Administration Building.

Other moves involved changing the locations of the following administra­t ive offices- business officer, dean of students, and Office of Career and Placement Services (to be shared tem­porarily with the Office of Graduate Affairs) .

Curriculum Features Broad Field Major

As reported in the Summer issue of Stritch '75, the English Department now offers a Broad Field English / Communication Arts major, which re­quires 30-32 credits in English and 24-25 credits in Communication Arts ­inc I u ding journalism, speech, and theatre.

According to Sr. Barbara Marie Weit­haus, academic dean, the Broad Field major is designed to afford a variety of options for students who wish to become secondary teachers, as well as for students who wish to· specialize in mass media, advertising , publishing , or the theatre arts. For the latter, extra­curricular activities in related fields may be taken for academic credit.

" Communication arts should appeal to English majors, teacher trainees, talented speakers, actors, artists, and students of the theatre," Sister Barbara Marie says. " It should also be noted that any qualified student may minor in this field of study at Stritch."
