Outstanding alumnae earn IWY recognition

by Marge Phelps

This year, in honor of International Women's Year, three outstanding CSB alumnae will receive awards honoring their activities.  Usually only one such award is given.

In accordance with the thame of International Women's Year, the Alumnae Council, the Executive Committee, the Awards Corrrnittee, and the Outstanding Alumnae Committee sought women excelling in all areas and especially in education, peace, and justice. The latter three categories were filled by the women decided on. The alumnae to be honored are Lois LeVasser Liners, Patricia Gaines Taylor, and Patricia Schmitt Mische.

Lois Liners, mother of CSB senior Mary Liners,  is a 1946 graduate of St. Ben's.  Involved in social welfare, she works with Bethesda Lutheran Home for the mentally retarded. Her husband and children also participate in volunteer work and the  entire family has been honored as friends of the retarded.  Twice, for over a month each time, Mrs. Liners and her family have gone to the Honduras at their own expense to do free dental work there. Mrs. Liners has her B.A. and has done some graduate work.

Patricia Gaines Taylor is celebrating her 20th CSB reunion. A 1955 graduate, she is now the superintendant of the Washington D.C. Women's Detention Center—the first woman to hold such a position. She has been interviewed a number of times by the Washington Post and has done extensive research in correctional institutions. She has her B.A. and M.A. and is experienced in protective services for women.

The youngest woman to be honored is Patricia Schmitt Mische, a 1961 graduate. She, along with her husband Gerald (who will be speaking at SJU for Intercultural Week) saw a need to educate people about global interdependence. In response, they began the Global Education Association. Mrs. Mische has traveled extensively in various third world countries an:.I was a delegate to the Second World Conference on Religion and Peace held in Belgium. She is coauthor of "Beyond the National Security Statute11 and the recipient of several awards including the 1970 Outstanding Young Women of America award.

Jan Lafferty, who is coordinationg the awards program, is extremely excited about this year's choices.

"They are all such fascinating women. Combining marriage and a vocation, we feel that they represent a good cross section of the roles women hold today."

Awards will be presented at 4:30 on Saturday, April  26. Students and faculty are welcome.

Despite frequent snows, dorms open August 1

Things are looking good over on the other side of the HAB where the new apartments are being erected. Through the work of the Conlin  Construction Co. (same one as for the Student Center) the structure will still be completed by-August 1.  No problems or complications have arisen so far, despite severe snowstorms in January and March,

The construction plans include both 3- and 2- bedroom apartments. The 3-bedroom units contain a livingroom, a bathroom, three bedrooms and a kitchenette. The 2- bedroom apartments will be similar to the current CSB apartments, offering family style living.

Four two-story white brick buildings comprise the new complex. Bordering College Avenue will be a long bui 1 ding whi ch wi 11 contain 3- bedroom units* Behind it and across the "people places11 of benches, shrubbery, and colored crushed rock will stand a

group of three shorter a-partment buildings.

Smallest of the group, the center building will hold a 1-room efficiencyfor faculty resident or caretaker and a 2-bedroom apartment on each floor.

To the north of this building another will house 2- and 3-bedroom units in addition to laundry facilities.

To the south, the third building in the group will hold only 2- and 3-bedroom apartments.

There will be no internal hallways but rather each unit will have its own entry door.

Opening next fall, these apartments will have rent comparable with CSB's other apartments. The mobile homes will be sold next summer after the apartments are completed. There are no plans for the use of the vacant lot, although rumors had a parking lot there. Because of the buried piping there, however, no such plans are feasible.
