We now have two seperate campuses which make up the I complex of the college. Today we officially open the academic year at our metropolitan-based caro-l pus in Providepce. The primary purpose of this campus is to serve the needs of those stl\dents who have chosen professional studies as a major area of concentration. Later on this month our new Bristol Campus of-fering major areas In the liberal a.rts, will have its initial opening. In the spring we will have the opportunity of being part of the Commencement activities for the first graduation at the College during which stu-dents will be awarded the baccalaureate degree. Now that the Bristol Campus is all but finished, the administration of the college is turning its at-tention to the locating of a site for a permanent professional studies campus somewhere in this metropolitan area. It is our goal to build a perma-nent metropolitan campus which is as beautiful and functional as any college campus existing today. The governing board of the college has signified a commitment to the operation of the two-campus concept. Authorizing such a concept, however, and actually building it are two different matters. The operation of a two-campus concept depends on the cooperation of all members of the college commu-nity on both campuses. There are numerous challenges which we will all have to face between now and the Commence-ment in June. All members of the college commu-nity will be called upon this year to help in defining new policies, new approaches to the better reorgan-ization of the various structures that help make up the entity which we call the college. A variety of committees have been appointed and many of these will have student representation. In addition to student involvement on these com-mittees, we will be challenged with faci.Jl.g a new dimension of such old problems involving student Colleg.e President Dr. Ralph Gauvey communication through the Quill, the Student Council, and other organizations. We will have to rely upon students to recom-mend courses of action which will provide solutions t-0 these old problems in the new context of a two-campus system. Should there be one newspaper for campuses, or would there be a newspaper on each campus? Should there be one Student Council for the entire college or should there be a Student Council for each campus? There are many other considerations involving students as well as all other members of the Col-lege community in attempting to evolve viable sol-utions for these problems. \Ve must, however, re-member at all times that the two-campus system is on entity which we call Roger Williams College. It is essential that the Bristol Campus and the Providence Campus are the same Roger Williams College even though their educational focus may be different. Page Two THE QUILL PROTECTION It is time to predict just what could occur dur- tion days, and clarilicatton of the issues involved at ing the next year at Roger Williams College. Dur- both campuses. There should be rigorous campaign-ing the problems of transition, the student must bear the full effect of what I am about to devour. It is appropriate to discuss these projections for the first edition of the "Quill.'' What Students should observe: Observe elections in the fall semester regarding class offices, student government elections, and elec-tions to the "all college council positions. Though these positions seem powerless from a student standpoint, the deciding factor of such power can be only determined by students themselves. Once students tend to become involved with the "pro-cess," they immediately realize why administrators cannot give overnight answers. I predict that such involvement for the sake of recognition, and not change, shall once again repeat itself, as it has in the past. With this in mind, it would be deemed appropriate to demand election procedures, elec-ing on both campuses for these positions where all factions should be heard (conservative or liberal). If students can organize rationally, there is reason for opt~mism in this area. What the faculty should observe: This is an area which truly needs attention. Ironically, it is the faculty who motivate students at Roger Williams College, or at least it has ap-peared as such in the past. Within the past year, the faculty has appeared afraid to unite together on issues involving student participation on a broad-er scale for fear of possible impeachment from ad-ministration hierarchy. A possible exception to what I speak of will evidently show itself within the pro-fessional studies division. This faculty will prove it-self to be so much closer with students, there even-tually will be an established rapport within this community.

Hartford Park Today Related to this, is the fact that many students who attend Roger Williams College are dependent upon part-time jobs to earn money to continue their education. I al-ways considered this a very diffi-cult burden to place on the student because the demands of the class-room are such that a student can-not effectively work and go to school at the same time. When this is the case, something must suffer and I believe the student makes the classroom assignments suffer. Therefore, I am a proponent of the Cooperative Education, a plan whereby a student can devote full a student. In our planning, we to the Business and Industrial know that the student learning is Technology students is the fact enhanced when there is adequate that the College has just entered supporting laboratory equipment. into an agreement to purchase a During the summer, many faculty new computer.

Roger Williams College has not _ time to both work and study. Busi-ness Administration students \vill be afforded the opportunity to gain first-hand professional experience on the job while, at the same time, be able to earn money to help defrey the cost of the College ex-penses. In short, the College will initiate a cooperative education plan for Business students who are now enrolled in the Fall semester and who may want to work dur-ing the Spring semester. During the last two years Roger Williams College has moved from a junior to a senior college and the Providence Campus has introduced programs in Business Administra-tion, Engineering, Industrial Tech-nology at both the Baccalaureate and Associate Degree level. This has been a major and a signifi-cant change in the progress and direction of Roger Williams Col-lege. We are now faced with the fact that we have to present our-selves for accreditation as a four-year institution.
