/ ‘ mt C0081916 Lob ILE IC LD et Mexorandun of February 22, 1956 Ercfile of St, Kery'a Dominican Collogo About the nozt important thing to be eaid about Dominican Collego is that tho Execu-~ tive Vicewrresidet, Hr. Fhilip Deo Maréis, io a cevoted and tirelasa worker for tho : cause of iSA and hes been doing all within bis -porer to asaint in the varieur sregrane that are tring te get underway in the are&. He io extremely onzious,. Zor exarrle, tc tave en Intcrnaticnal Relatione Seminar and is willing te provide facilities fer tho feainer at Sonintcan Callegs. We dioevercd 1% of gomo length, perticclary in tesas of the group whe esald be reoponaible for the initial rlanaing énd orgnnizatien of such 2 Seminar. I hic suegected, and Mr. Des Marais agreed, that in 611 probability, tho cestec’ enc Sost practical manner of going sbout the ectabllishzeht and olannize of the Seninar - would be tn cee a group of studenta froa the veri-ur memborrcolleges in tha arca, vhich lacluée, of course, Xavior ond Dillard, to act ne the plerning committee, and thet thoy @koule receive nermiosion from the regional end nstirnal authorities and alenly yrocoed on that basie witheut requesting any formal action on whether or not they sheule -rocted with the Seminar, put making sure to invite participertioa from other celleger an€ tnivere sities in the area both in the planndig stage of the Seniner and in terme of noeeidla preticlzante. The difficulty of cource ic that the rtucent boty et Doninieur College scene to be reietively immature an¢ the few young ladies whoa I act are virteally neophytoo in the work of NBA. Although tho students seam to be sonevhbnt willing ond amxious, 2% would require a rether long period of indoctrinntion before thay vould beeme fully avero ef the nature and scove of SSA's progras. We cha, I believe, Gopand uron Kr. Doo Marais $2 Sallill thie need. Eovever, it 4s rether 22fficult for me te conceive of hey ho ean instill enough initintive and spark into these cirle te act as the érivirg wedge for the establishment of tho Seminar, I have epoken with pesple at Javier University, vartieularly with Iraoct Thorac, to. enconrage ther to get in touch vith Phil and vork out e clen for getting the Seminas ostablished. In cum, hovevey, 1% scoms to ne highly uniikely that any Seminar will got undervay in tho Rogion for the coming opring or summer. Ky Toeling {is that tke mons ot Deainiean College vould be oven crore hesitant about the varticdnation o2 Dominican College in NSA vore 1% not for the fect thet they have a great devotion to Phil Des Harais and truct-his judgment in not leading thelr girls astray, ¢ EE, > YATE OT FT re Sper se 3 ar? ined : : oars Thad ae ; Cn H ‘ ij
