According to Fred Mason of the Committee on Administration, the diocese contacted Providence College on March 20 with an offer to rent the 80-bed, single oc• cupancy dormitory building.

"PC is merely considering this option as a stop-gap method for next year at this point. So far only about 40 of the 80 rooms have been spoken for," explained Mason. If this plan is accepted, the present overcrowding situation is in the male dorms would be alleviated. A definite decision should be reached within the next two weeks.

Editor's Memo... A statement of principle

It has become customary for the new editor-in-chief of The Cowl to include in his first edition a statement of policy and principles. In the past, these memos have invariably been either preachy or cliche-ridden but nearly always prolix. Now that it is my turn to ascend to this paper-and-ink podium, I would like to simplify what I feel a school newspaper's duty is to its readership and what standards it should strive to attain. In brief, I feel that a newspaper's role in the community is to inform, in• vestigate and entertain. In reporting and newsgathering, it is our responsibility to be objective and intelligent in our approach. Here at Providence College I believe it is our particular concern to actively cover all pertinent student-related events. The thorough coverage of student organizations such as Student Congress and the BOG is of prime importance. On the whole, I believe that The Cowl's editorial stance throughout the year has been mature and accurate. In future editorials we will address ourselves to giving constructive criticism to better the community.

As in past years, The Cowl intends to confront, examine and express an opinion on any subject on which its board deems necessary. The Cowl is unique among student organizations in that it is visible every full week of the school year. Our product is, therefore, the constant subject of scrutinization. Because of this, I feel that we must strive to avoid inaccuracies, and mistakes. Nevertheless, errors will be committed. For these first few weeks at least, I ask you to bear with us. As stated above, The Cowl is here to serve the Providence College community. If any readers take issue with any topics addressed in the paper or have suggestions, we invite them to use the op-ed page. Take advantage of it. Sincerely, John O'Hare

Indoor soccer finale

By Al Palladino Believe it or not, Providence College plays indoor soccer. That's right, indoor soccer. Over Easter break, the soccer Friars participated in the prestigious University of Connecticut In• vitational Indoor Tournament. Owing to a bad draw, PC finished 0-2-1 and failed to qualify for the second day of events. After dropping the opening game to Bucknell, Providence faced the Cadets of West Point. Thanks to a goal by Bill Bridges, Army prevailed by a 1-0 count. Although Peter Roman and Kyle Hutchins got some good shots on goal, PC was unable to score the equalizer. Their final game, a 1-1 tie against the University of Bridgeport, was not as even as the final score indicated. The Friars dominated the play throughout the contest, and on a goal by Hutchins led 1-0 late into the second half. Needing to win by two goals in order to move onto the next round, Providence applied even more pressure. Taking a gamble by pulling the goaltender, PC paie) the price as UB's Tony Trict tied matters in the final minute of play. Providence College, for the third consecutive year, played respectable soccer. The only problem is that not everyone is satisfied with respectable soccer. Coach Bill Doyle was somewhat discouraged when he talked about his team's chances for recruiting this year. "It's the Head for the mountains. same problem every season," he Don't just reach for a beer BUSCH replied. "All our opponents give scholarships and we don't." Wednesday, April 12, 1978 Page 11
