Anne, Nancy, and Linda in our prayers, asking the Lord to grant them the happiness of Heaven. This is the foundation of our faith - that having served God faithfully here on earth for a short time - we raise one day to live with him eternallyf' The DeVeaux campus on Lewiston Road was acquired from the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York in October 1977 providing Niagara with much needed space for dormitories, offices and student recreational facil- ities. Alumni Chapel was reopened in April after being closed since August of 1977 for a second set of renovations. The most striking changes included a new roof, restored walls, and a new slate floor. Upholstered pews, new organ and new sound system was also added. '4The Guardian, written by Brother Augustine, director of the Theater, was televised on Sunday, June 18, 1978, in at least 140 cities across the nation. Ten Niagara students per- formed the story of a group of young players who gather to perform a mime drama based on the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. At the produc- tion studio in New York, the group be- comes acquainted with an elderlyjani- tor A the Guardian He begins to penetrate their lives and, eventually, the performance. ln this show-within- a-show, the Guardian becomes the Christ figure. The Butler Building was opened in the summer of 1978. The name signi- fies the type of structure rather than the dedication of the new building. It houses the campus book store and Health Services. The main aim of the building was to alleviate some of the overcrowding in the faculty offices. The space vacated in Perboyre Hall by the Infirmary was transformed into faculty offices and the space vacated by the Bookstore was filled by the INDEX, NIAGARAN, Learning Skills Center, NUOP Office, and WRNU. Another site opened in 1978 was the Buscaglia-Castillani Art Gallery located on the DeVeaux campus. The perma- nent collection of Armand Castellani, the chief benefactor, is housed at DeVeaux. A physical improvement undertaken during the year was the construction of a plaza between St. Vincent's and Alumni Halls. It offers a low wall for seating that many students capitalize on in pleasant weather. The plaza was made possible by an anony- mous donor. As one tradition was eroding an- other was started. Varsity Village was completed in 1939. Since its existence, the Village had been the residence of upperclassmen male residents. At 'fs fi' ,fl
