Many of us on Salve’s campus are familiar with Christianity, but few of us know anything about South Asian religions, such as Buddhism. With the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama approaching, people may be wondering what background they should know in order to fully appreciate what the Dalai Lama has to say.

On Thursday, Nov. 17, the Dalai Lama will visit Salve to present a lecture titled, “A Human Approach to World Peace,” as well as, visit with longtime friends and supporters Sen. and Mrs. Claiborne Pell.

Salve President Dr. M. Therese Antone, RSM, has declared Nov.

On Thursday, November 3, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy will host a lecture featuring Brigadier General Russell Howard, USA (Ret.), director of the Jebsen Center for Counterterrorism Studies at the Fletcher School at Tufts University.

The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy presents Hugh Gusterson, Professor of Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Gusterson’s lecture “Nuclear Nightmares: The Culture Proliferation in Today’s World” will address issues of nuclear proliferation in the world, why states are failing to come to agreement on non-proliferation, and why there is reason to be afraid for the future.

After seven years in the restaurant business, Jason Viteri decided to open a restaurant that served food that he was used to eating at his parents’ home using his Ecuadorian heritage and cooking experiences.

This past summer, at the age of 22, Viteri opened La Balandra, a restaurant that focuses on South American cuisine located on Farewell Street, off Broadway, in Newport.
