Home to Be First Seminary for Negroes

Project Aids Priesthood Candidates CINCiNNATI (NC)-HomeS' of young Ncaro candidates for the priesthood will be their first seminary under a ·pilo~ project adopted by the Society of the Precious Blood to recruit Negro seminarians.

Father John E. B)'rne, C.PP.S., the society's Cincinnati provincial, has announced approval of the project. He has appointed Father Dennis Kinderman, C.PP.S., of Cincinnati, as the project supervisor.

Father Kinderman said: "Heretofore, an almost insurmountable obstacle to the application and

perseverance of black candidates in seminaries seems to have been not lack of interest in the priestly and religious vocations. It has been rather a lack of opportunity in bridging the gap between' an . all-black family and school life and the regimen of the predominantly white student body and faculties of our seminaries when they do enroll.

"What they need, I think, is some. interim training and mellowing in their own environment to first discover themselves."

Father Kinderman says the pilot

project will be initiated in this Ohio city at St. Mark's, a predominantly Negro parish.

"An appropriate setting, such as the . home or homes of black parishioners in . the neighborhood, will be provided for regular monthly or bi-monthly gatherings of interested high school ,boys," he said.

"A young man just out of grade school will prepare for his future ministry best by staying in close touch with the black community and by living a normal social life and going to the

high school of his! choice," Father Kinderman said.

The monthly weekend meetings in a ,black neighborhood, he said, will include: A program of values (Christian living).

Sessions on black history and culture to help develop 'black awareness.

Talks by invited priests at work in 'black communities.

Opportunities - to work! with their parish priest who is involved in the black community.

CHICAGO (NC)-In spite of a drastic decline in vocations -to the Sisterhood, there is still some evidence that ·youth is "-turned on" by religion. ,"It is true that !fewer are presenting themselves to convents," said John Cardinal Cody to more othan 2,800 teens who attended the Midwest Vocation. Congress here.

"A vocation is an adventure.

A vocation is ill challenge, because it demands so much of the one who would aspire to become a .Religious. But it is a sacrifice that makes people great," :the cardinal asserted. .

A number of girls a:ttending -the conference appear to be willing to make the sacrifice, but many plan, to wait until they have completed' some college or professional training.

The teens had some surprisingly conservative views on the subject of renewal. "I don'-t like -the modern habits. Maybe it's so they can get closer ,to the kids but it doesn't affect me that way," Miss Haley said. '''1 don't like them either," said Linda Krollo of Lourdes High School, Chicago. "They don't seem like nuns anymore and I don't feel any closer to them." '''Sisters ·seem to have a different type of dedication now," observed ..:Melinda Kern of Regina -Dominican Hi·gh School, Wilmette, Ill. "The big thing is social work now. It's all 'go live in apartments and be one of the people.'

But there are still many people who can really dedicate their 'lives to God. There is so much power in prayer."

Warns of Over Reaction WASHINGTON (NC) -Father Theodore M. iHesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame has warned against "repressive legislation" and "over-reaction" to campus disorders. The university Ltself must be -the final jucige of when outside help is needed to avert trouble, says the Holy Cross Father.

"Where special ·help is needed, let us all assume it will be asked for and given quickly, effectively and as humanely as possible Q " Q as a last alternative to internal self-eorrection," ,the mid-West educator said in a letter to Vice President Spiro T. Agnew.

"But let it be understood that the university, and only the university, public or private, makes _this determination."

Father Hesburgh's !etter was sent in response to a message from President Nixon who praised his "forthright" stand on campus. disorders and asked the Notre Dame head to share his views on the' subject with Vice President 'Agnew and ill meeting of the National Governors Conference. The letter was sent from Bogota, Colombia, where Father Hesburgh was attending a meeting of the Council on Higher Education in the American Republics.

instead, of civility, force substituting for reason, tyranny for. persuasion, police state instead of the house of intellect with all its glorious virtues exercised in freedom."

Destructive Forces "The ;best salvation for the university in the face of any crisis is for the university community to save itself," Father Hesburgh told Agnew, "by declaring its own ground rules and basic values and then enforcing them with the widest and deepest form of moral persuasion for the good life of the university, and consequent moral condemnation with academic sanctions for any movement against university life and values-especially violence, 'vandalism and mob action which are the imtithesis of reason, civility and the open society which respect the rights of ea-ch and all.

"When m9ral persuasion and academic sanctions fail to deter those who show open contempt for the life style and selfdeClared values of the uni versity community, there should be no hesitation to invoke whatever outside assistance is neces';' sary to preserve the university and its values," he continued.

"However, it is the university that 'best judges its need for outside assistance and invokes this assistance, much ali it would call for help in a three-alarm fire," Fatner Hesburgh declared.

"Here the concern is survival against forces bent on destruc-, tion."

'Lower the'Volume' If universities are given "elbow room" to grow and operate their own guidelines and in fact do so, Father Hesburgh predicted, "the crisis will pass without the further requirement of actions .;, * .;, especially .;, .;, * repressive legislation, or overaction in its many forms."

The Notre Dame president said the great majority of the nation's students and faculty should not ,be blamed for "the bizarre and widely publicized antics of relatively few."

He also ;aid "even the most far-out students are ·trying to tell society something that may also be worth hearing today, if they would only lower the volume so we could hear the message."

Rights of Others Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York was among states' chief executives here who praised Father Hesburgh's views. He said he thought the priesVs statement "struck a responsive chord." , Rockefeller 'opined that people are looking to presidents and boards of trustees of universities to protect the right of students to air their grievances but at the saine time to protect the right of other students to attend classes.

He added that if university,officials don't contr.ol the situation, then "public pressure will force the government to do something."

CLEVELAND (NC) - As an aftermath of the protest Mass in St. John Cathedral here, the Black Catholic Laymen of Cleveland met with Bishop Clarence G. Issenmann and changed proposals given in July, 1967, to demands.

Among them are: Use of black leade'rs in projects invloving the 'black community.

A crash program for recruit ing black seminarians and training black deacons.

Creation of 100 ,annual scholarships for blacks in diocesan high schools.

Assigning of black priests and Sisters to the ,inner-city; a dialogue between Bishop Issenmann and labor unions to a'rrange for acceptance of more black union members.

Creation of a black lay commission for the diocese.

Discussions between the Black Catholic - Laymen and various nationality gro.ups of Cleveland.

Beginning of meaningful understand,ing between black and white teenagers, now divided by a "serious social gllP which must be . remedied."

Charge Apathy The protest Mass at the cathedral took place on Jan. 26 after Fathers Bernard Meyer and Robert Begin took control of the main, attar shortly 'before the start of a regularly scheduled Mass. .

The protest Mass was held to dramatize what the two priests and their followers' said was an apathetic, attitude of Cleveland diocesan oUicials on race, poverty and other issues.

An incident occurred and the two priests were arrested and later charged" with creating a nuisance in a church, edifice.

Bishop Issenman, after a poB of diocesan priests, announced that

Small Doses Enthusiasm is a distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.-Bierce.

the civil charges would be dropped but Fathers Meyer and Begin are still under suspension.

More Can Be Done The' Cleveland diocesan Senate of Priests, meanwhile, issued a statement saying the diocesan leadership "has and is sponsoring programs related to the issues of race and poverty-including Project Equality, Head Start centers, Catholic Charities and others.

"Nonetheless, we do not feel that we can be complacent for we recognize that more can be done by all, clergy, >Religious and laity, to implement these efforts," the senate said.

"We support the' formation of a committee on Human Relations established by Bishop Issenmann a few months ago to structure the activities of the diocese in these areas."

The senate proposed a meeting of all opr,iests in the diocese "for the purpose of educating and acquainting them" w.ith the role they can ,play in an expanded Church drive against ra'Cism and poverty.

HARTFORD (NC )-Connecticut's five Catholic bishops have announced their opposition to a bill now ·before the state's General Assembly which would IiberaUze the state's abortion laws.

Speaking through the statewide Connecticut Catholic Conference, the bishops gave their unanimous endorsement to a statement issued earlier by the director of family life of the archdiocese of Hartford and 18 other members, both pl'iests and married couples, of the Family Life Council.

In that statement the council members said they are eager to cooperate with '''fellow citizens of goodwUI" in meeting social problems but said they "do not believe, nor do we see," that aborHon is a satisfactory solution.

"The role of the Catholic newspaper has changed dramatically in the past five yeares," Archbishop O'Brien said. "The bishops of the Vatican council demanded a new openness in the Church, and honesty with the world."

"Very often," he pointed out, the responsibility for this honesty and openness falls on the shoulders of the Catholic press.

Worst Mistake

School Enrollment Up 20,000 LONDON (NC)-The official estimated Catholic population of England and Wales rose by ne'arly 56,000 last year to 4,143,854, accordi~g to the Catholic Directory issued here.

The previ'ous yea,r'ls figure was 4,087,949.

These figures are based upon estimates by parish ,priests and are generally considered to be conservative. There mustobe many more who are not on the parish records and many who are not regular Sunday churchgoers but who are Catholics.

A~tive Catholics here are popularly estimated nowadays at over .five million out of a total population of about 48,000,000.

Conversions in 1967, the last year on record, dropped 10 their lowest figure for some 20 years by 828 to a total of 8,293.

Ordinations in 1968 show a slight fall. There were 168 against 179 the previous year.

Nevertheless the number of clergy showed a slight increase from 7,721 to 7,756 due to religious orders bringing in priests from' abroad as well as the usual inflow from Ireland.

Among the religious orders ,'the Dominicans show an increase of 44 though this figure includes members working in the foreign missions while the Jesuits dropped from 498 to 405 because those working in the foreign.. missions are not included. .

CORONADO (NC) - Faith in God helped a 20-year-old sailor survive the North Korean's kicking and interrogating of the Pueblo crew.

This testimony, by Ramon Rosales, a Texan, caused his commander, Lloyd M. Bucher, to weep' convulsively. Bucher was then led out of the navy court of inquiry.

"We had lectures with a guy ~e called 'Specs' on decaying American democracy and religion," Rosales said. "He'd always get mad at me. He'd always say there was no God and I would stand up and tell him there was a God. "He asked me if I saw Him. I told him I saw Him every day in the flowers and trees. I told him that God was' life. He got kind of shook up."

Rear Adm. Richard R. Pratt, questioning Rosales about his captivity, asked, "What do you think was the main thing that got you through the 11 months?"

With a smile, Rosales answered, "I think it was my faith in God and my country and th~ decisions of my commanding officer."

It was at this point that Bucher began weeping. Bucher's civilian attorney, E. Miles Harvey, grasped the Pueblo commander's right arm and whispered to him. The 41-year-old skipper continued weeping for several minutes. Then he and Harvey rose and walked out.

The Catholic school population rose from 830,409 in 1967 to 851,235 in 1968.

From a worldly point of view there is no mistake so great as that of being always right.

Leaving Catholic Schools Costing State Miilmons

.L4ncient Custom of SQlemn Engagement May Become Newest Thing in Diocese

ALBANY (NC)-A staff memol'landum prepared by the New York State Council of Catholic School Superin-

Planning to get married? Why not have a solemn engagement ceremony? Never heard of it? You have lots of company! Although such ceremonies .are far from new, being mentioned by Church writers as far back as the third century, they have for some reason fallen into disuse. It's a pity, because if there'" one thing young lovel's want to do, it'os to proclaim their love, and -here's a way to stand right up in church' and do it. Seriously, the engage-

·tendents said there has been a decrease of nearly 60,000 Catholic school students in this state during the past five years-more than 25,000 this year alone.

H said the education of students !Who left Catholic schools and transferred to public schools this ~"ear is costing taxpayers some $29,550,000. This figure is based on the National Education Asociation's statistics that per pupil expenditure in the state's public schools is currently $1,140.

"For when a claild leaves the Catholic school, public education is almost always his alterna.tive," the memorandum stated.

"No minor part of public education's current financial crisis is due to the immigration of large numbers of Catholic school students."

The memorandum w·as made public against a background of nonpublic school closings and dwindling enrollments throughout the country. The closings and curtailments have caused administrators of the f,inancially hard pressed private schools to look increasingly to state legislatures for help.

It's an experience few young couples in the Diocese have had up to now, but it took place last Sunday for William T. Murphy and Jane Landry of Fall River who plan marriage in May. The text of the ceremony follows, for the convenience of engaged couples or of priests who may wish to encourage the custom in thefr parishes.

At Lady Altar The couple kneel at the Blessed Mother's altar and the priest, in surplice, stole and cope, stands 'before them. The couple recite the following prayer: In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, 'before Almighty God and his heavenly court and in the presence of our witnesses, we promise to one another by this ecclesiastical engagement marriage in Christ.

Peopne P;u'Ucipate William and Jane's engagement ceremony took place after the last Mass in their parish church, and the congregation was invited to remain for it. An overflow crowd filled Our Lady's chapel, including several young couples who had "We'd like that too" expressions on their faces as they left. So.maybe an ancient custom is about to become the newest thing in the Fall River Diocese.

PITTSBURGH (NC)-A major reorganization of the Pittsburgh diocesan school system to offset rising costs and a shortage of religious personnel has been proposed for September by Auxiliary Bishop John B. McDowell, school superintendent.

The goal is improved education and more efficient use of personnel '8nd facilities, he said.

The bishop declined to discuss specific schools or details of the plan until informati'on is provided to the parishes. This will be done shortly.

Bishop McDowell said, however, that some consoHdations and mergers are involved, not only of schools, but of facilities for Religious. For example, the plan calls for nuns of different communities to live in one convent in certain areas where convents abound and are only partially filled. '

Criticism

Papal Award

and of the Church·

The disting ished Jesuit Father Henri DeLubac has some penetratin things to say about what he calls the "critical temptat"on" in the Church. His ideas are worth keeping in mind when one reads ~ as one so often do~s today - of vario s criticisms of people and elements In the Church.

DeLubac is ot talking about criticism which is good, especially self-cr ticism.' Nor is. he talking about. a dissatisfaction with work done and· a burning desire for the best. Nor is he ta ing exception to an independence, of will to break with cu t<>fus that cannot be justified any longer, to get out of ru s and to put right abuses.

He i~ talkin about the sign~H'it1g out of the few exceptions to sp ead before the eyes of all as' if these were the rule. A d the saying that these are only exceptions sometimes an be easily swallowed up' in the very' emotional impact given to them and drawn from them.

DeLubac poi 'ts out, that in 'those former days when civilization was largely contiguous with Christendom, everything happe led "within the family" and irreligion was not perpetual y on the lookout to turn everything to its own account in rgument.

Such, is not he case today. He feels' that the Church is now in the do , misunderstood and even jeered at ·for her existence an her sanctity, and that because of this Catholics should be wary lest what they want to say simply in order t serve her better be turned to account against her. , Every person of good will can easily see the shocking contrast between the human wretchedness of those who make up the Ch rch and the greatness of her' divine mission. This sho ld not be a scandal to men but a stimulus. And its first effect should be to turn one into oneself in self-ci-itici m. A criticism that is directed toward others may be ~o hing more than the "search for an alibi designed to enabl one to dodge the examination of his own conscience."

DeLubac wa ns' against the springing up in every Rev: John F. Moore, St. Joseph's, Tau,nton direction of' sym toms of an evil which catches on like B.A., M.A., M.Ed.

Nearly 200 copies of the petition are now in circulation here and in neighboring towns. When completed, the petitions will be sent to members of Maine's Congressional delegation in Washington.

Opposes Taxing Private Sclhools In Florida

University Ups Tuition Rates

MIAMI (NC)-The chairman of Florida's Senate Subcommittee on Taxation will vigorously oppose a measure to eliminate the tax exemption for private, non-profit schools.

Noting that a number of bills have been introduced in the state House of 'Representatives to eliminate the tax exemption for such schools, Sen. Richard B. Stone told the Voice, newspaper of the 'archdiocese of Miami, that his position "after thorough study, review and soul-searching, is that it is wrong to revoke these exemptions for two major reasons."

"First, the parents of parochial students are already paying the school tax through the real estate taxes on their homes and on their businesses, without sending their children to public schools," Stone declared. "They are paying the money but are not getting the direct benefit, so they are already paying an extra edge when they pay the tax.

"Second, the cost per pupil of educating parochial and religious school students is being borne priVl8tely and not by the public right now. Were we, to force the closing of any schools, it follows that the burden onthe public taxpayer would have to be greatly increased very, very greatly.

'Downright Stupid' "For both of 'those reasons, in iJoth their positive and negative ~catures, it seems to me that it would be not only unreasonable but downright stupid to consider revoking a tax exemption which creates such tremendous tax savings. This is a tax exemption ',hat saves us money, instead 'of .:osting us money," Stone said.

According to Stone some members of the school board and others have ,been telling the legislature that the exemptions should ,be revoked. Proponents, he sxplained, have apparently received some support in the House Ad Valorem Tax Committee.

"I've heard varyIng estimates," he said, "of what it costs to educate a private school pupil and also a public school pupil. Whatever it is, right now under the present system there isa double net saving to the pubHc taxpayer when 'any student attends a parochial school."

Franciscans Protest Curb of Dominican TOULOUSE (NC)-Forty-two Franciscan priests and Brothers of the province of Toulouse, among them the provincial, Father Barthelemy Laboirie, have caUed "unjust" the restrictions imposed on French Dominican Father Jean Cardonnel.

Archbishop Francois Marty of Paris said Father Cardonnel can preach in the Paris archdiocese' "to the degree that he accepts working with me and seeking (the truth) wLth me."

Father ioseph K:opf, O.P., superior of the Dominican's Toulouse ,province, to which Father Cardonnel belongs, has issued a prohibition of the publication of a book by Father Cardonnel and has also forbidden the priest to pub1ish articles in the press, with the exception of periodicals specializing in theology and spirituality.

The restrictions followed a series of sermons preached by Father Card~nnel last Lent in which he proposed certain revolutionary ideas.

It sounds formidable, 'but Sister Janice isn't. She's a dynamic and committed teacher-comitted to the extent that she, wHh three Qther Sisters of Mercy, took up residence last September in an inner-city housing project in Pr,ovidence. "I did it in order to study the pr()blems of children in such an environment," she said. The move means that she ,and her companions must commute daily to Salve Regina College in Newport, nearly an hour's distance by car. All are on the college faculty, Sister Janice teaching reading in the department of education.

No Grapes As well as her jobs in Fall River and on the Salve Regina faculty, Sister Janice works with the Providence diocesan school system in the inner city. This is an outgrowth of a study ,of Providence parochi'al and public schools which formed the basis of her dootoral thesis at Boston University.

She and her companions are concerned with more than the school situation in the inner city, however. Two Sisters are nurses and they have brought nursing students from Salve Regina into the hqusing project for public health work. Another Sister has just been elected to a Neighborhood Action Council. .

"We try to be neigh15ors," said Sister Janice. She said that project neighbors were not surprised when she and her companions moved in, largely because an'other group of Sisters had lived there last Summer. "We're the only Sisters in our province living in 'an aparliment on a permanent basis, however."

SOUTH ORANGE (NC) Seton Hall University will raise tuition rates $5 a credit beginning May 15.

Th,e increase will mean an additional $160 for undergraduate students taking a normal 32credit work load. Tuition ~or such students will now run $1,400 a year, with other fees included in that total.

On the graduate level, the board of trustees autiWrized an increase from $37 to $45 a credit, except in science and mathematics, where the ne,w charge will be $50.

Explaining the move, Newark's Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty, president of the university, noted that "the American economy is in an inflationary spiral and " * * the purchasing power of money has steadily declined."

He said the tuition was raised reluctantly and noted that the salaries paid to teachers and other employees must remain competitive and these too reflect the "mounting cost of living."

OMAHA (NC)-An estimated 40 per cent of the adult Catholics in the Omaha archdiocese thus far have signed "good neighbor pledge" cards supporting proposed open housing legislation.

The reason for the campaign was Gov. Norbert Tiemann's indication that he seeks .passage of an open housing law during the current session of Nebraska's Legislature.

An estimated 18,000 Catholics have signed -the pledge. There are 187,000 Catholics in the archdiocCile.

The pledge cards were distributed by the archdiocesan human relations commission. The current tabulation -is based on incomplete returns and the total is expected to be much greater when all pledge cards are received.

Minn. Parishes Mer9'e Schools

Rode1'ick

WAVERLY (NC).lParishioners of St. Mary parish here in Minnesota have voted to merge the student body of the parish high school with that of Holy Trinity High School in Winsted, and to expand St. Mary's grade zchool from fi ve to eigh<t rooms.

The merger plan had been negotiated by parish boards of education and faculties in the two communities.

Father Wallace K. Hermes, St. Mary pastor, recommended the plan and said: "I ·believe we must develop a stronger grade school to serve the community better and that the cause of quality high school education is better served by the expans;on of one high school, not two.7 He said St. Mary's parish will ,;)ssist in working OUit transportation details and will also pro-. '.'ide financial help to parish students attending the Winsted school.

It is that time of year to think about starting seeds for Spring planting. It hardly seems appl'opriate tQ be

talking about seeds now, but it won't be long before the warm weather starts i::oming in and an early start is worth the trouble. For those of you who haven't tried but the younger females of the growing plants from seed or house were devouring everyin sight that pleased their who have tried and proved thing palate. unsuccessful, the following might be worth reading.

First of all, it might be wise to start with fairly easy seeds to germinate. These include asters, calendula, marigolds,' nasturtium, zinnias, and sweet alyssum.

These grow so easily it is almost impossible to miss with them if you take a few simple precautions. In fact they are easily grown with no precautions if you are not too concerned about the percentage of seeds that germinate.

Just wait for the warm weather, chop up the soil 'Snd sprinkle the packet of seeds thereon. The seeds will germinate on their own, but there is no telling what percentage you will actually see flower.

More Efficien& A more efficient method is to start the seeds in pots or small flats in the home, then place them out-of-doors when the danger of frost has passed, about May 15 in this area. The method is simple enough. First ~heck the package to see how long the seeds take to produce flowers and then check this against the May 15 date. Otherwise you may start your plants too early and have overgrown plants before you set them out.

Then fill plant pots with a mixture of garden soil and sphagnum moss or use all sphagnum moss. Soak the moss thoroughly with mater, let it drain, and sow the seeds as per the directions on the package.

Keep the sphagnum moist, but not dripping wet by watering from the bottom. A pot can be placed on -a saucer filled with water or a flat can be set in a shallow container containing water (I use my wife's old cookie sheets).

A little bottom heat helps seeds to germinate so I usually try to find someplace' in the house where the flats can be set without being distul'bed and which does afford some heat; on a ta-ble near a radiator might 'be a good place or in my case on the oil burner in the basement or on a window-sill.

With any luck at all, the seeds will germinate in a very short period of time and then may be thinned out for ,planting in the garden. Most seeds will germinate if they are not allowed to dry out, are not exposed to too much heat, are not watered to death and are not toyed with every 15 minutes. b

In the Kikhen There is no doubt about it, the cost of food is soaring and it certainly . shows no signs of leveling off. Not only do I find this food price inflation making a big dent in my househould budget, -but I've also found lately that no matter how often during the week I go shoppping, I still end up with a refrigerator understocked.

Seeing that I'm what is known as a slow-study, it took a while for me to put two and two together and realize that my two growing girls were eating like growing horses. Jason is still on his three year old diet of liquids and love, so he doesn't count,

At the beginning of married life you learn to .buy and cook for two adults with normal ap.petites. Along come the babies and other than adding a few dollars onto your weekly g~oc­ ery bill for baby food and finding a milkman to cater to their liquid needs, your eating and buying habits change very little for the next few years.

Suddenly, however, they come into their own and the dainty little girl on whom you physically forced food is looking for steak at every meal.

'Never Hardens My refrigerator is open more than it is closed and both girls have practically worn out the flooring as they constantly beat a path to it. No wonder the ice cream in the freezer never has. a chance to harden. They raid my grocery bags as I bring them in the back door and before I get a moment to. enjoy a full larder it has been depleted and my family is crying "There's never anything to eat in this -house."

I'm sure that this is a common problem in a house with growing yourigsters (especially boys) and I'm also sure that we all adjust and learn to buy in larger proportions. Of course, I also have a sneaking suspicion that by the time this does happen one's. family is college-bound and one ends up with an over'stocked pantry and two middleaged parents (on diets).

Here's one little tidbit that does manage to last, at least overnight, because none of the children is too fond of dates. My Aunt Mary (Mrs. Russell Morin of St. Christopher's parish in Tiverton, RI.) is a marvelous cook who is a trusty source of new recipes. The other evening she told me of making this-recipe a few times and Hiking it very much. I tried it and it was as good as she said.

Date Nut Squares 1 cup chopped dates (finely chopped) 2 Tablespoons of rum, cognac or ,bourbon.

2 eggs ¥4 cup flour 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans lh cup sugar lh teaspoon baking powder 1) Combine the liquor and the chopped dates -and let stand until needed. This could be done about an hour ahead of time.

In a medium sized bowl beat the eggs very well and gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until mixture is light and fluffy.

3) Sift together the flour, sugar, baking -powder and a pinch of salt.

4) Stir the sifted mixtures into the -beaten eggs and sugar. Add to this the nuts and presoaked (in liquor) dates. Mix well and spread on the bottom of a buttered and floured 8 or 9 inch square pan.

5) Bake in' a moderate oven 350· for 30 minutes. Coolon a wire rack for 10 minutes and then cut into squares with a sharp knife. Do not remove from pan until completely cooled.

Remake Soci,ety Shaw Advocates Catholic School Graduates Develop Sense of Apostolic Commitment PHILADELPHIA (NC) - An official of the National Catholic Educational Association says Catholic schools can no longer settle for turning out the "good Catholic" of minimal observance and the "good citizen" whose social vision is limited by the status quo.

"The Church and society demand something better today," opined Russell Shaw "The graduates of the Catholic schools of the future must be young men and women with a permanent sense of apostolic commitmenta commitment directed to the re-makingof society."

Instill Values Shaw, NCEA director of publications and public information, addressing the annual Catholic Author Luncheon sponsored by the Eastern Pennsylvania Unit, Catholic Library Association, asserted: "The goals of the Catholic school must be as broad as the needs of society," Shaw declared. "They encompass the eradication of racism and poverty in this eountry but they .;t '" * go beyond to include a commitment to international social justice and world .peace.

"Catholic schools must consciously seek to form Christians who will ,be nota'ble for their work in the Peace Corps, in

VISTA and in other serviceoriented groups," he continued.

"Catholic schools must also seek to instill in their students a commitment to such Churchrelated apostolic groups as the .papal Volunteers for I·atin America and the Extension Volunteers. And ~ * * the schools must continue to develop in their students the values which will lead some of them at least. to embrace permanent apostolic service in the priesthood_ and religious life," Shaw stated.

"The Catholic school must become the focal point for the training of a corps of committed Christians, and -it must consciously choose this as its chief goal rather than hoping for it * * >I< as a marginal by-product of its central thrust."

Conference Opposes Abortion Law Change AUSTIN (NC) - The Texas Catholic Conference has issued a statement opposing relaxation of the state's abortion laws.

The statement said: "The movement for public approval of abortion is only one manifestation of a dehumanizing process that seems to infect our age-a process which makes it so easy to decide that some of us are not human, or, if human, that we are inferior types to be subdued or eliminated for the good of others, or because we are inconvenient or bothersome to people whose rights are judged to be superior."

The statement said the state does not have the dght to deprive the fetus of life and noted that "the Supreme Court of Texas, no later than last year, held that an unborn child is a human being entitled to human rights."

Why You Need The Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addit on To Ordinary Health In ranee Because no matter w t other insurance you now carry, il simpl won't cover every. thing!

Think for a mome t-in theSe days of rising medical costs, ould your present insurance cover all yo r hospital bills? All your surgical and in-h spital doctor's bills?

AIl the medicines, dru s, supplies and the many other extras? Pr bahly not.

And even if all you mediCal and hospital bills were covered, hat about-all your other expenses-the bi Is -that keep piliog, up at home-the treme dous and costly upset to your budget, yo ' r reserves and your family life?

If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your e,xpenses go up. Even if you have some kjnd of "salary insurance" it probably won't come close to replacing your full-time pay. If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will look after the family, do the laundry, the marketing, the cleaning?, You may have to take time off from your job-or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitalized, you'll certainly spare no expense. If you're ~ sen· ior citizen, with limited reserves, and are hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" mont;y you need come from? ' Without, any extra cash protection· in case of a hospital emergenty, debts may be incurred, savings may be, lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be ~erioUsly dela)'ed.

How The Plan Protects You And Your Family Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for Catholics you can avoid these worries-because you can be ass~red of exira cash income when you or any cov.ered family member goes to the hospital..., to help keep you out of debt, to help keep ,your savings intact, to speed recovery by easing your worried mind!

You may choose any of four low-cost plans-you can aaually selea the exacl plan that suirs you best!

If yours is a young, growing family, we recommend the ALL·FAMILY PLAN. You and your wife are covered at once for accidents, for new sicknesses which begin after your policy is 30 days old, and for maternity benefirs after your policy has been in force for 10 months. All your unmarried dependent children (and furore additions) between 3 months and under 19 are included, at nd extra cost, as long as they live at home.

If you are the only parent living with your children, we sugyest the ONE-PARENT FAMILY PLAN. This covers you and all eligible children living at home between 3 months of age and under 19. Under this plan, of course, furore additions are not included since no materniry benefit is provided in the ONE-PARENT FAMILY PLAN.

count"-much like putting money in and taking it out of tqe bank, Peace Of Mind And Security For as long as you live and continue to pay' your premiums, we will never cancel or refuse to renew your policy for health reasons-and we guarantee that we will never cancel, modify or terminate your policy unless we decline renewal on all policies of this type in your entire state or until the maximum (Aggregate of Benefits) of your policy has been paid.

Extra Cash In Addition To ORher Insurance Yes, the Hospital Plan for Catholics pays you in addition to any health insurance you carry, whether individual or group-even Medicare! Furthermore, all your benefits are tax-free! Of course, you may carry only one like policy with Mutual Protective.

Surprisingly Low Cost Membership in the Hospital Plan for Catholics costs considerably less than you might

If you have no children, or if your children are grown and no longer dependent on you, you will want the HUSBAND-WIFE PLAN. Or, if you are living by yourself, you will want the INDIVIDUAL PLAN. 6. If I become hospitalized, when do my bene· fits begin?

On all plans, your cash benefils are paid from the very first day you 'enter the hospilal, for as 1006 -and for as many times-~s you are hospilalized, up to the maximum (Aggregate of Benefits) of the plan you choose.

-' 7. How much can I be paid in a Catholic hos· pital?

Each plan has its own "Aggregate of Benefits," what we call the maximum.

For example, under the ALL-FAMILY PLAN, Ihe maxim"m il $10,000-$ 100 a week ($14.28 a day) extra cash income while you are hospital. ized.,S75 weekly ($10.71 daily) while your wife is hospitalized. $50 weekly ($7.14 daily) for each eligible child hospitalized.

Under the ONE.PARENT FAMILY PLAN, Ihe maxim"m il S7,500-$100 weekly ($14.28 daily) while'l'ou are hospitalized. $50 weekly ($7.14 daily) for each eligible child hospitalized.

Under the HUSBAND-WIFE PLAN, Ihe maximum jl $7,500.- $100 weekly ($14.28 daily) while you are hospitalized. $75 weekly ($10.71 daily) while your wife is hospitalized.

Under the' INDIVIDUAL PLAN, Ihe maxim"m il $5,000 - $100 a week ($14.28 a day) while you are hospitalized.

8. Must I go to a Catholic hospital to collect benefits?

No, yOll will be covered in, any hospilal of your cboice that makes a charge for room and board; except nursing homes, convalescent or self-care units of hospitals, Federal hospitals, or any hospital primarily for the treatment of tuberculosis, drug addiction, alcoholism, or nervous' or mental disorder. .

10. What if someone in my family has had a health problem that may occ~r again?

Any covered family member who has suffered from chronic ailments in the past will be covered for lhese pre-exisling conditions after he has been pro· teded by lhe policy for two years.

11. What conditions aren't covered?

Only lhese minimum necessary exceptions: pregnancy or any consequence thereof (unless you have the ALL·FAMILY PLAN), war, 'military service, nervous or mental disease or disorder, suicide, alcoholism or drug addiction, or any condilion covered by Workmen's Compensation or Employers Liability Laws.

GovernorI Bishop Exchange Views On School Aid

The Furniture Wonderland of the East

Open Daily 9 A.M. to 10 P.M. 'ncluding Saturday::;

•

WATERTOWN (NC) Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York told a Watertown "Town Meeting''' here that parents who have both' paid taxes and support non public schools "have done a fantastic job."

Replying to a statement by Bishop Stanislaus J. Brzana of Ogdensburg on the need for public finane,ial aid for churchrelated schools, Gov. Rockefeller said: "This is our common 'P·roblem because our responsibility is for all the children. that they should get the best education.

"I think the figures run that if the parochial schools were not there and all the children now . . . were in ,public schools ,the cost would 'be 'between $600 and' $800 million more per year." ftockefeller said his administration, in conjunction 'wlth the New York State Board of Regents, has agreed to appoint a commission to study "the quality, cost and financing of public and private primary and secondary school education in New York State."

Forced to Close He also said. "I would just like to say a word for those parents in our communities throughout the state who not only a're paying the taxes for the education of 'children in public schools, and welfare, and all the other things, but in a'dditi<>n are making'these contributions to the church related schools. . . These parents have done a fantastic job and I think they deserve a sincere debt of gratitude fro111 'all of us in the state."

Bishop Brzana had spoken on the "desperate" situation with regard to financing Catholic schools. He said that the schools were grateful for what state aid they are now getting in the form of school lunch programs, 'health services, transportation and textbooks, but added that "what .we need is much mote ... in order to continue to exist."

Bishop Brzana cited several schools in the Ogdensburg diocese which have closed because of financial problems in the last few years and said that more will be forced to close unless financial help is forthcoming.

Baltimore Hospitals Restrict Abortions BALTIMORE (NC)-Three Baltimore hospitals, all among Maryland's largest, have revealed they are no longer performing abortions for out-ofsta te residen ts.

Officials of the three institutions, Sinai Hospital, the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, and the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, indicated they have been deluged by out-of-state residen~s wanting abortions' since Maryland's new law, one of the most liberal in the nation, took effect last July. .

The Maryland law permits abortion if a woman's life is threatene'd by pregnancy, if there is likelihood that the child will be deformed or retarded, when pregnancy results from rape, or if there is said to bc risk to the woman's physical-or mental- health in having her baby.

Dr. John E. Savage, head of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center abortion screening committee, said it appears that an "impression was gained in othcr states that all you had to do was come to Maryland."

Stresses 'Reason For Establishing Parish Council

Defends Award To Archbishop

NEW YORK (NC)-The

principal reason for the establishment of the parish council is to "provide a

vehicle whereby the witness of the Christian layman may be made more readily available to the church Qf today," Archbishop Terence J. Cooke has told the New York pastors in his See. "The variety of offices given

by God is not something that went out of existence in the first century of the Church's life; the Holy Spirit also speaks to the Church through the faithful of our own times. And one of the most effective means whereby the ;bishops and priests can hear this authentic witness is the parish council.

"There," he continued, "the Christian layman is able to speak and make his invaluable contri'bution to the life of the Christian community."

Archbishop Cooke noted the parish council "is not intended to supplant existing parish societies, nor to hinder the effectiveness of the good work for souls being done 'by QUI' pastors.

Nor does it affect the legal incorporation of the parish in accordance with the laws of the state."

"Rather," he said, "we hope that it will 'bring together the parish family-priests, Religious, laity-in a spirit of trust and cooperation to study the needs of the Christian community and help to resolve its problems by common deliberation.

"In time," the Archbishop continued, "we look forward to the establishment of an archdiocesan council, with representation from various parish councils."

Opposes Relaxation Of Abortion Law ROCKVILLE CENTRE ,(NC) -Bishop Walter P. Kellenberg of Rockville Centre has urged New York Catholics to uphold "legal safeguards now provided by our state law for the protection of unborn life."

In a 'pastoral letter read at all Masses, the bishop called efforts to relax the state's abortion law'" a frightening departure from the principle that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with the right to life."

Bishop Kellenberg warned: "As 'Soon as the life of one person is sacrificed for the convenience of another, there is no limit to the consequences. To admit a principle which would equate life itself with the usefulness of living that life, is to jeopardize the life of the senile aged, the physically deformed and handicapped and the mentally ill."

Schedule Chaplains' Training Programs WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Newman Chaplains' Association will sponsor, for the eighth consecutive year, two training schools for chaplains and Sisters entering Newman work. The programs will be conducted at Harvard University, June 22 to July 3.

The Newman chaplains' schools, conducted by the National Newman Chaplains' Association, coordinated by the National Newman Apostolate dfice here, and funded by the National Newman ,Foundation, arc designed to fulfill the need for basic orientation of the priest or Sister assigned to the campus ministry.

PRACTICAL ECUMENISM: These New York City pastors have a practical demonstration of ecumenism, sharing a place of worship. The Broadway United Church of Christ, of which the Rev. Lawrence L. Durgin, left, is pastor, will henceforth hold its services in the nearby Church of St. Paul the Apostle, of which Father Francis X. Ryan, C.S.P., is pastor. NC Photo.

Priests, Parishioners ,Greet Congregation NEW YORK (NC)-A friendly make - yourselves - at - home ceremonial has welcomed a historical New York Protestant congregation into ecumencial' "star boarder"status at an equally historical Catholic church. ,From now on the congregation of 129 - year - old Broadway United Church of Christ will hold its Sunday services at neighboring 111-year-old St. P a u I the Apostle Catholic Church. Both are situated in the Lincoln Center development area. The Protestant church property is destined to be engulfed in a new buiLding development.

Members of the Broadway United CQngregation gathered Sunday for the last time a~ their church. Midway Ithrough the final service, the congregation members left the edifice and marched a few blocks to St. Paul's. ,They were welcomed at the Catholic church by ,priests and parishioners, entered St. Paul's and completed :the Sunday worship service.

Ordinary Approves The unusual ecumenical arrangement was worked out between 'Father iFrancis X. Ryan,' C.S:P., pastor Qf St. Paul's and the Rev. Lawrence L. Durgin, pastor of IBroadway United.

Archbishop Terence J. CQoke of

New York gave his approval.

In addition ,to' the regular Sunday worship .services, the Broadway United Congregation will use the facilities of St. Paul's when available, for weddings, funerals, church school classes and other services. St. Paul's will relinquish its regular 11 A.M. Sunday Mass ,period for the Protestant congregation's Sunday worship service.

Congregational church. Throughout its history, its pastQrs and members have been involved in a succession of social, moral and religious issues of the times.

St. Paul the Apostle is the mother church of the Congrega!tion of Missionary Priests of St. Paul, popularly known as the Paulist Fathers. It was founded in ,1858. The Paulists engage in missionary, convert and ecumenical work; publishing, and in carrying on an <active apostolate at state and nonsectarian universities and colle,ges.

NEWARK (NC) - The New Jersey region of the National Conference of Christians and Jews in a statement issued here defended its action in presenting a Brotherhood Award to Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark at a time when he was being criticized for inaction in interracial matters.

More than 150 demonstrators protested the award outside the Robert Treat Hotel during the presentation ceremony.

In its statement the NCCJ said: "To those who would question the wisdom of such awards, we can only say, 'Let him who is completely free of any involvement in the racism which pervades our national life lift the first picket sign.' " The NCCJ had been asked to rescind the award ,by a coalition of 23 groups. They have been supporting 20 priests of the archdiocese who have charged diocesan officials, including the Archbishop, which racist' attitudes. While the coalition, which claims to represent 2,100 Catholics, mustered 150 for its hotel picket line, demonstration leaders had ,been expecting up to 1,000.

In its statement, the NCCJ did not mention the archbishop by name but said it does not claim to confer "honorary degrees of perfection" but to honor those "who have performed services to the total community which have placed them in a position of relative pre-eminence in an unfinished society still characterized by injustice and inequality."

Foresees Future Disorder in U.5.

THE ANCH1R-O ;0<0•• 01 Fo II Ri:.'-Thu"., Mo,. 6, .1969.

sgr. George G. Higgins

On evening, February 22, the David Susskind televdsion s ow 'featured 'a rau<:ous debate on collective ba~g,aining in the field of ,public employment. Taking part in the p gram were the ·president of the AmericanFederation of State, County and Muni ipal E~-: starting salary of ,New York teachers is much higher than ploye~s, the presid nt of the New York City L cal of the $5,400, but that's beside' the American Federatio of Teachers, a veteran labo specialist from the edi:' toriaL ,stciff of the New York Times, an ex:' perienced labor mediator, and a member 'of the New York State Legislature. Mr. Susskind w a. s supposed to act , as moderator or referee of the debate, but, far from being an impar ial umpire, he consistently ca e through, to this viewer at 1 ast, as an anti-union partisan.

Partly 'because of Mr. Susskind's intemperate p rtisanship, the program " dege erated at times into a kind f shouting match, with the res lt that the issues were never f lly stated, much less satisfactori y resolved.

To make matters orse, some of the participants ept drag., ging in the recent New York City teachers strike's a kind of red herring, purport dly to illustrate whatever . oint they happened to be rna ing at the moment.

'Neutral' Partie pants Given the fact th t the program originated in anhattan, I suppose that that w s more or less inevitable. Nev rtheless it was unfortunate, for the fact of the matter is that the New York City teachers strike 'nvolved a number of highly c ntroversial issues (community control of schools, e.g., and t e isSue of Negro-Jewish relati ns) which are not present in he typical labor dispute in the fi ld of public employment.

Again, the result f harking back so often to the New York controversy was that the issues that should have be n debated on the Susskind prog am tended to get lost in the shu fle.

In spite of all the confusion, however, it ,became c ear enough 'before the end of t e program that Mr. Susskind, fo one-and, to a lesser extent, s me of the other "neutral" par icipants were more concerne about the "public, interest" han' they were about the wor ers' interests in strike situati ns in the field of public emplo ment.

I regret' to add tha Mr. Susskind, for his part al 0 left the impression, perhaps nwittingly, that in his opinion ost public employees are being paid adequate salaries. and c nsequently have no right to ,be emanding further increases.

Susskind's Opi ion This came throug loud and clear when Susskind who had been condemning pu lic service unions in New Yor City for ignoring the public i terest, was asked by one of the nion participants on the pro ram how much he thought Ne York City teachers received as a starting salary.

He said he thought they were making at least $5,4 0 a year and seemed to suggest that that was a whale of a lot of money.

The fact is, of cours , that the-

point.

The point is that Mr. Susskind clearly left the impression that, in his opinion, $5,400 would be more than enough, and yet he must know, as a long-time resident. of New York, that this figure would be grossly inadequate even for a single ,person just out of college, to say ,nothing of a married man or woman with a family to support. lIIfigh Salaried 'Liberals' Little wonder, then, that at one point in the program the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees momentarily lost his cool and blOrted out something to the effect that he was sick and tired of hearing $50,000 o'r $100,000 a year "liberals" , . complaining about public service employees (many of whom earn less than, $5,400 as a starting salary) being unconcerned about the "public interest."

Responsible labor leaders in the field of public employment readily admit, of course, that public service employees should be conscientiously concerned, about' the public interest, but they tend to become very irateand quite understandably so, in my opinion - when the public interest concept, "waved like a banner when there is a confrontation between ·public employees, is used to prejudice the community against the cause of the public employee * * * even though the employee is, himself, part of. that taxpaying serviceusing public."

Clarifies !Issues This quotation is' taken from a recent study entitled "Collective Bargaining in the Public Sector," which was prepared for the Executiv~ Board of the AFL-CIO MB{itime Trades Department.

I recommend this study very highly. As an "interim" report, it doesn't pretend to have all the answers to all of the questions that can be raised about collective bargaining in the field of public ~mployment, but it does delineate the issues very clearly.

It is particullirly clear on this matter of the "public interest" which seemed to be bugging Mr. Susskind and some of the, other participants in his recent television program.

'Public Interest' In summary the report concurs with the position, taken by Congressman Dominick V. Daniels of New Jersey, a member of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, when he attempted to put this issue into proper focus in a speech delivered in February of this year, Here's how the Congressman assessed the situation.

"The trouble with the 'public interest' concept is that it is only triggered in time of crisis.

There's no 'public interest' generated ahead of time, no partic'ular show of concern for meeting the genuine economic and social needs of the public employee-whether he is a teacher, a fireman, a policeman, a clerk or a laborer.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The United States, in neglecting the problems behind civil disorders, "may be sowing the seeds of unprecedented future disorder and . division."

This assessment was made public here in a first anniversary appraisal of America's' reaction to the domestic crisis pictured by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders in the Kerner Report.

The assessment,' which also sees .a widening gap 'between white and black Americans, is made in a detailed report called "One Year Later," issued by Urban America, Inc., and the Urban Coalition, Washingtonbased organizations concerned with problems of the nation's cities. ' The study concludes that events of the past year paralleled the short-run consequences predicted by the commission if the nation chose to contin'ue its present policies.

The study asserts that there has been "some change, but not enough; more incidents but less full-scale disorder -because of improved police and military response; a decline in expectations and therefore in short-run frustrations.

"If the commission is equally correct about the longrun," the new report declares, "the nation in its neglect may be sowing the seeds of unprecedented future disorder and division."

Seminary Loses Three Teachers

17

JOLIET (NC)-Bishop Romeo Blanchette has consented to a request from the Christian Brothers to withdraw three members from teaching posts in the Joliet diocesan minor seminary.

The Brothers have been teaching in the school department of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary , Lockport, since its beginning in 1965.

Because of personnel shortage, the Christian Brothers had been considelling a withdrawal from one of the four high schools they staff in the Illinois diocese.

"The Christian Brothers have been a great help in the seminary," Bishop Blanchette said.

"We understand the request of their superior. We feel that their withdrawal from the seminary's high school department rather than one of the other high schools in the diocese will affect fewer stud~nts."

Columban Pushes 'Diaper Brigade' Col u mba n Father Paul O'Rourke, a combat chaplain with the 26th Marine Batallion, is moonlighting for the "diaper brigade" here.

Some months ago the Columban missionary, who volunteered for chaplain duty in 1967, discovered an infant orphanage in Da Nang. He, 'began making regular visits ·between trips to the front lines.

"They were short of everything," he said in a letter to friends at Columban Fathers headquarters near Omaha, Nebr., "but most of all they needed diapers."

Letters to friends in the U. S. sparked immediate responses.

Wives of Navy and Marine officers at Key West, Fla., started a "Diapers for Da Nang" project. Relatives and friends in Father O"Rourke's hometown of Providence, launched a similar drive.

"Thousands of diapers and bundles of children's clothes were shipped over," Father O'Rourke reported. "We collected enough to stock the infant orphanage and outfit the little children at another orphanage nearby.

"A group of Marines came with me and passed out the clothes and diapers," the 34year-old priest said. "T·hanks to the generosity of friends back home, we ·were able to bring some happiness to people who haven't had much 'happiness in their lives. It was a good feeling," he added.

Section 141 of the present constitution allows the use of 'public funds for various fonns of assistance to children attending non-sectarian private schools, but denies such aid to children in church-'related schools.

ELECTRIC DRYER!

Last January, the state Commission on Constitutional Revision rejected pleas by supporters of Catholic schools to alter the prohibition on aid to sectarian schools, and recommended that tQe present language of the constitution be retained. It did, however, advocate some form of aid to sectarian colleges and universities.

Msgl'.' John S. Kennedy

Deborah Jam s taught in a' large public high sqhool, in -an unspecified merican community, for 10 years. The fruit of this expe ience she has set down in a book The , Taming ('McGraw-' m, 330 West 42nd St., New York, N.Y. " 10036. $4.95). It ~ not 'another Up the Do n StairThe corridor was a kind 'of no case, nor does it cl im to be. man's (or woman's) land for the Its primary value i to teach- teacher. It was the students' pr~­ ers, and especially , ovices, for it bristles with hints as to how one can successfully handle the problems pre s 'e n ted by the contemporary American high school.

But parents and others interested in schools can learn much from it. Mrs. Jam e s has c h 0 sen the somewhat odd title f her book because she believe that the school now has the t sk of taming the young. "As p rents have become more loving nd less demanding of their ch 'ldren," she writes, "the school as become the stern parent, re uiring the individual to confo m and to measure up to the st ndards set by our society."

Her' first chapter "The Cage," referri high school; and he last, "The Cage Door Opens." E ch chapter heading IS accompa ied by a line drawing, in' whi h the cage image is generally re eated, and many of the expressi ns used hy Mrs. James are reI ted to the taming of animals.

Humane. Concrned All this might sugg st that she regards children as easts, and that she favors hand 'ng them as SUCh. But that is q ite untrue.

She. is a social sci ntist who specialized in psyc ology, and the, course she tau ht was a composite of materia from several areas of social s ience. She' is plainly humane an concerned ahout students as hu an beings.

She begins by de ribing the high school to which he was assigned. It is typical flnnumerable others in the c untry, although the physica plant is probably newer and more elaborate than most.

It was indeed a age in the sense that is was kep , ly locked up, this to students 'in class much more to pre entry, thievery and vandalism.

Little Personal C unseRing , At the time when s e left that school, it had a st dent body of 2,700, with 130 t achers. In the guidance depart ent, there were six counselors nd a clerk.

According to Mrs. ames, the guidance work co sisted of hardly more than r~cord keeping. Little individu I personal counseling was don ,although much of it was need d.

"The overburdened counselors are seldom available in a crisis.

They are strangers 0 the students and are often able to do no more than liste to their problems, if that mu h."

The students in the school were of different so ial classes.

They passed most of heir school time in the classroo , but the corridor was where they lived.

There they gravi ated into groups of like inte est, sometimes of like status Romantic activity went on in t e corridor, occasionally verging n the extreme.'

serve, yef the teacher had to use it, and was expected to exert some authority there and impose order when necessary. The ways of performing, or' evading that responsibility are amusingly recounted.

Outside Influences, Mrs. james gives a list of the exactions 'visited' on teachers.

Leading it is tired feet. She goes - into 'a grave disquisition' of why 'and how a 'teacher's feet get tired, arid of the suffering this inflicts. Other hazards, are the teacher's need to 'be right, Jiis or her deprivation of 'adult associations and the cost of treating the students with love.

The teacher, of course, brings something of his or her life outside the school into the class,room, but- it may 'be ,forgotten that the student does precisely the same.

Many a difficulty il1 'school may not stem from anything originating there, but rather from the home. The student who has lost a fight for use of the family car, may, in school, pick a quarrel ot a fight that he can win. ' Need Discipline Mrs. James, although it appears that she is permissive and progressive, stoutly insists that the schoo~room i!! not, and can not be democratic. There is need of discipline: School cannot work without that.

'But discipline may be impeded because of the compulsory presence in school of youngsters who do not want to -be'there and whose sovereign thought is of somehow escaping:, There is another list at this point, now of "whips" (again, that animal-taming idea) which, for the sake of discipline may be used by the administrative authoritives or by the classroom teacher. The former category is led ,off, surprisingly, by the device of listening, giving the student an opportunity to express his point of view, even though he will have to submit and he so realizes. ' Must Earn Respect As to the "whips" at hand for the teacher, Mrs. James denies that marks in school subjects are to al)Y great extent determined by conduct, although admitting that the' later plays some part in determining grades.

She is against resort to sarcasm, and warns that bursts of anger or temper tantrums on the part ,of the 'teacher are a display of weakness on which the stu.dents will mercilessly capitalize.'

The best discipline, she contends, depends in high degree on self-discipline among the students themselves. Do not underrote the importance of public opinion among the-students, she, advises. It is they who will demand, and can in large part enforce, certain standards of behaviour and decorum on the ' part of their peers. .

Personal Growth It is clear that Mrs. James believes in a good curriculum, expert teaching, work in the classroom, study at school or at home, and the making of a creditable showing.

But 'she says that there is more to school and to its educational success than that. Personal growth must occur, and it is brought about ,by the personal relationship of teacher and student and the relating of students one to another.

Teaching, she says (and who but the ignorant, wili dispute her) is hard, and the yield' is meager, especially when one discovers how little of what one taught a few weeks earlier has been retained.

But ,she is, not about to pronounce it futile or to condemn wholesale present high school ,education. She has some ideas as to its improvement, but one wonders whether the schools can do the job when the society as a whoIe, and especially some of the influences brought intimately and powerfully to bear on the child outside the school, are not cooperating.

"For all these and more, I am very grateful to God and feel obligated to repay him in a con<:rete 'manner."

Family Star Sparks SMTI Steve Sarantopoulos in 1959.

As a sophomore at Holy Family, Lawless came into his own scoring 244 points for a 15.2 average and was named to the All-Narry League second team.

A year later, after missing the first half of the season, Steve returned to spark the Jack Nobrega forces to a perfect 16-0 record, Catholic Tournament championship and eventual Tech Tournament 'berth.

His 255 points and 18.2 per-· game average in ·his senior year were among the individual Narry leaders.

Steve is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Lawless of 211 . Harwich Street and is a member of St. Mary's Parish. His younger brother, Jim, is a member of the Holy Family basketball squad and was a key figure in the Blue Wave's Narry League co-championship this season.

Steve is a history major at SMTI, and is considered an average student. His work on the basketbaiI court, rates a high A.

And, because this is just Catholic in the title tussle.

Declines University Scholarship Mr. Janiak has been the closest confidante of the seminarian, during and after his Vocational school attendance. 'Father Martin,' who declined a University of Pennsylvania athtletic scholarship to enter the seminary, also solicited the advice of his guidance counsellor who tomorrow night will introduce his former protege to ·his Fall River Club friends.'

One of 11 children of a New Bedford policeman, 'Father Martin' was the first of.four to make the Gomes name synonymous with New Bedford basketball.

Paul, who later excelled on the hardwood at the University of Connecticut, followed his older brother as the outstanding member of the Whaling City basketball combine.

'Jakie,' the first Cape Verdean appointee to the Massachusetts State police consta,bulatory, was next -in line as a Gomes star. He

gained his plaudits wearing the Crimson of New Bedford High.

Hospitalized Tommy, who ran wild last season on the county schoolboy courts, saw this season reduced to three games when he suffered his serious' left knee injury. His junior year showing however, was enough to entice the 119 scholarship offers he has received. .

When former Boston Celtics forward, Jim Loscutoff, got a look at big Steve Lawless he 'began to chuckle.

His Chiefs had just suffered a humiliating 95-72 defeat at the hands of Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute and more embarrassing was the-fact that Lawless had spearheaded the attack.

Big Steve poured in 35 points, his personal high of the season, and controlled the boards at both ends of the court With king-like supremacy. _ There's no secret that Lawless had had a -weight problem this season. When he reported to the Corsairs' camp in early November he appeared to ,be as much as 40 pounds overweight. As a result, his early season play suffered.

The Corsairs dropped three of their f.irst four outings as Lawless gradually worked himself into shape. Eventually, Steve began to regain the shooting touch that made him a high school All-American while at Holy Family, and the .Corsairs began to roll.

In 19 of the last 20 games, Lawless has registered in double figures and SMTI has rebounded from a 1-3 slate to a 13-9 record.

Steve's 15 points-per-game average currently ranks second to teammate Rick "Stretch" Dupuis (17ppg) in ,individual scoring.

Lawless, q 'burley 6-4, 215 pounder from New Bedford, is in his second year at SMTI.

CLEVELAND (NC) - iBishop Clarence G. Issenmann here announced formation of a 20-membel' lay board to form the Newman Foundation Corporation o!

Northern Ohio, to assume responsibiliJty for financial and administrative operations of the Newman Apostolate here.

The foundation will provide business organization for "effective management of the financial programs of New Student Associations," leaving priests and Sisters more time for campus activities and other operations, Bishop Issenmann said it is anticipated that by 1980 the number of Catholics enrolled in 12 non-Catholic institutions and universities in the diocese will increase from 18,000 to 50,000.

The -projections indicate that a minimum of five complete Newman Centers and some use of college facilities will be needed, he said. Estimated cost to the diocese is between $3 and $5 million.

After a visit with the governor by seven mem ers of the Committee to Revise Alan E. J.

In Northern Virgi ia, Branigan told the Gove nor, more than 14,000 white nd Negro children attend Cath lic schools furnishing private e ucation to average and low-in orne residents. Many of these chools face closing because of spiraling costs.

"Any program that might subsequently be establ'shed must pass the church-state tests of the U. S. Supreme Court,' Branigan wrote. "I am quite willing to abide by those test. But the Virginia constitution goes further than the establ'shed separation line and, in fa t, discriminates against my c ildren because of their religio .
