Prejudice result of fear BY PENNY HILL

External and internal threats are responsible for prejudice, was the idea stressed at the Humanities Lecture Friday by Dr. Theodore Hadwen, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Southern California. Dr. Hadwen explained that external threats are typically economic. By using a hypothetical situation of green men coming to our earth from another planet, he analogized England's West Indian problem. No prejudice is evident when the country sends diplomats, students, or skilled workers. With the onset of unskilled ¡workers, however, an econornic threat creates fears within the people and the imie-ra~1ts are discriminated against, In the short run, he pointed out, creating such a situation may be effective, but in the long run these oppressed groups cost everybody money. 1 ' My argument is that people are frightened of feelings that are inside themselves," Dr. Hadwen stated. People try to make a monster image for the Negro; this is a way of dealing with their peers, "Prejudice," Dr. Hadwen continued, "is a very good way of screening yourself to do away with personal inadequacies.'' These inadequacies can be described as general fears which are established at childhood. Parents can push the child around and nothing will change within the child as long as the child is sure that it is for his own
good and that it is done out of love. If there is no warmth expressed by By JIM McNUTT the parents , something breaks and this Jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi, name there whe n he was the something is hard to repair.

literature needs sin."
By JIM McNUTT "All great literature does and should deal with s in," declared Father Benedict McCormick, an English instructor at San Luis Rey Mission, as he spoke to the Newman c lub last Wednesday. "The most boring thing a priest has to read," the Franciscan priest said, "is the life of a saint. There isn't any sin!" This kind of literature , Father Benedict added, doesn't show man as he really is. He is a fallen man and as a sinner must come to grips with sin. "How does ~e deal with s in? How does he come to grips with life?" the priest asked. Discussing the Catholic view of contemporary fiction, Father Benedict posed other questions. Is there a Catholic way of looking at literature? Does Catholic literature exist? Is there a nee d for censorship? "The Christian can get more out of literature because he brings more with
him," Father Benedict declared. "He, like James Joyce, has a spec ial reverence for words . He knows that Christ was the Word. For this reason ~e sees literature as the most important of the arts ." Father Benedict said people frequentl y ask him what can be done about the . "sordid lite r ature" pouring off the presses today. His answer is that we are living in a sordid world, and P1at a knowledge of this lite r ature will help us to know how to cope with the world as it is. "The test of s uch literature ," Father Benedict added, "is not the s ubject, but rather how it is dealt with." He declared that we should expect some distortion; it is necessary for the purpose of artistic form. "We should read modern fiction in order to fulfill our personal need for harmony with the universe. We do not
_read merely for recreation, but inorder to achieve an inner peace and joy. We do not read to be taught nor to be stirred to action. We are detatched from the action and the author didn't write to teach us anything." In closing, Father Benedict posed still another question: What is fictional truth? He will return for a second and final lecture October 20th and promised to answer this and other questions he had asked. He also promised to present some good examples of terrible novels and some terrible examples of good novels , Newman Club President, Leonard Avila, announced that at the meeting held at 11:00 tomorrow in B-1, new officers will be chosen, a homecoming queen candidate will be elected, and a program will be planned. An informal birthday celebration fo r the club's chaplain, Father Patrick O'Conner, concluded the meeting.
