Her critical essays Franciscan Radio Founder Returns from Goias Mission Last week witnessed the return to the Siena campus of Father Celestine O'Callaghan, OFM, former professor of Mathematics and now a missioner in the Franciscan missions in Brazil. From 1949 till 1956 Fr. Celestine was a member of the Siena faculty. He left Siena in the Fall of 1956 to assume his duties in the state of Goias, Brazil. During his first year in Brazil, Fr. Celestine worked as Assistant Pastor of the Franciscan Church in \ 1 1 ^ TWENTY YEARS HAVE PASSED since the Siena Women's Club pre¬ sented the statue of St. Bernardine of Siena lo the College. The statue stands in the main lobby of Siena Hall. St. Bernardine, Patron Saint of Public Relations, is shown holding a plaque of the Holy Name, a devotion he did much to propagate. Goiandira, Goias. The following year he was transferred to CoUegio Sao Francisco in Anapolis. This school comprises a high school department and a junior college department. It is mainly devoted to the teaching of science. Notable among his contributions to the work of the Franciscans in Goias is Fr. Celestine's active par¬ ticipation in the foundation of a commercial radio station in the city of Anapolis. This station has been operating under the auspices of the Franciscan Fathers for almost a year. This radio station marks the initial efforts of the Franciscan Fathers in the field of radio in Goias. The foundation of future radio stations throughout the state of Goias is the goal of Fr. Celestine and his fellow Friars. Fr. Celestine has expressed his interest in the Siena radio station, WVCR and was very much im¬ pressed by the studios and the mod¬ em equipment. He expressed his sincere hope that WVCR will con¬ tinue to grow and perhaps someday become the Voice of Siena in the Capital District. Beginning with this issue of the Siena News, Fr. Celestine is writing a special series of four articles on the grov^rth and development as weU as the necessity of Franciscan radio in Brazil.

Her article on Pound's poetry was reprinted in Lewis Leary's Motive and Method in the Cantos of Ezra Poimd. A visiting professor at Siena last summer, Sr. Bernetta has taught at Catholic University in Washington and in San Antonio, Texas. This summer will find her traveling in Europe with a seminar group spon¬ sored by the College of St. Teresa. The Greyfriar lectures are open to the public. English majors must attend these sessions. The current publication of Greyfriar will be available at the lecture. The Grey¬ friar lectures were instituted by the English Department in 1955 and first pubUshed in 1958. The title for the series was chosen to commemorate the English Franciscans of thirteenth century Oxord and Cambridge who were popularly known as Greyfriars because of the color of their relig¬ ious habits at that time. The next Greyfriar lecture will be on April 6 when Fr. Owen Ben¬ nett, OFM Conv., will present "The Philosophical Positions of Albert Camus." Charity Drive OpenTilll6th Campus Charities, the annual drive held on the Siena campus, wiU end on March 16 in what the NFCCS hopes will be a flourish of dollars. HighUght of the drive itseU so far was the highly successful Campus Charities Dance held a week ago today. About 450 people attended the dance and Campus Charities grossed over $175. Thanks have been extended to all those who at¬ tended the dance by Tony Rudmann, chairman. The drive so far has not met the expectations of the NFCCS and since this is the last day of the drive, that organization hopes that all who have not contributed wiU do so now. It is expected that the collector system wiU be abandoned on the last day and those who wish to donate will find someone ready and waiting to receive their money in the Snack Bar. It is highly probable that members of the NFCCS wiU go from table to table today hoping to reach their goal. Campus Charities, it is to be noted, is the only coUection taken up fofe charity on the campus throughout the entire year. All charitable de¬ mands on the coUege from many worthwhile groups are met from this fund. Among institutions who have benefitted from the drive in the past are the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Carmelite Nuns, the Little Sisters of the Poor.
