Overseas Relief

Bishop Says Poor People Ones Helping Neighbors Expressing gratitude to Pope Paul VI for his endorsement of the Overseas Relief Collection, Bishop James L. Connolly strongly urged the generous and Lent-inspired support of the U.S. Bishops' efforts to alleviate suffering in war and natural disaster torn countries the world has always made us more reover. The Bishop expressed sponsive to neighbors in need his thoughts in a pastoral whether on local or internaletter addressed to all the churches and chapels of the Fall River Diocese. The letter follows: "Whatsoever you did for one of these my least brethren, you did for Me." St. Matthew, 25:40. Beloved in Christ, Even though we have slums and poverty stricken people, we in the United States have more money to dispose of than any other nation. This is not to pretend that we are all millionaires. Very little patronage of the very wealthy trickles down to the needy. These people prefer sponsoring scientific r~earch, the restoration of historical towns, or the endowment of universities and hospitals as subjects of support. So the ever widening field of concern with problems of poverty continues to rest on the middle-class, and the working class. The fact that we are all nearer to the ,poor than the very rich

Blames Secular Society For Rioting Students SAN ANTONIO (NC)A political science professor and former consultant to the U.S. Department <;>f Defense and State said here that student riots should not 'be blamed on any "conspiracy." They are,' he said, part of a protest movement aimed at the conditions of modern life. Dr. Hans Morgenthau, author and educator, spelled out what he thinks are the causes of the current student unrest during a speaking engagement at Incarnate Word College here. At ,the same time, he emphasized he is unaltera'bly opposed to such rebellion. Dr. Morgenthau, who is on the faculties of both the Univer-

Students Up In Seminary WASHINGTON (NC) Contrary to current assumptions, there are 499 more new seminarians this school year than last, but the general drop-out rate is continuing. This is disclosed by the Center for Applied Search in the Apostolate (CARA) in its "u. S. Catholic Institutions for the Training of Candidat1!s for the Priesthood: A Sourcebook for Seminary Renewal, 1969." It ex·presses an optimistic outlook. New college seminarians number 460 more than last year and theology students numbEir 207 more, according to data compiled by CARA. But on the high school level, 160 fewer students started seminary studies. The continuing drop-out rate saw an overall decrease of 4,937 or 12.4 per cent. The de'crease on the high school level has been estimated at 2,202 (13.9 per' cent); on the college level, 1,806 (13.5 per cent); on the theology level, 310 (3.8 per cent). The greatest drop. in general enrollment occurred in clerical novitiates, with 525 fewer novices than last year. This was a 25.9 per cent decrease. The Sourcebook, noting that "seminarie's across the nation are in a state of fermelllt," is optimistic of its outlook of the future of seminary training.

sity of' Chicago and the City University of New York, said the basic question is "What has happened in our society that has caused students who come most-· ly from middle-clas&' homes to rebel against the authority of the university - an institution that was established to serve them?" . The answer, he said, lies in a deep-seated alienation of youth toward society. , . "The meaning of life is not clearly defined (to them) anymore," he observed. "This is a secular society in which an increase in the gross national product has come to represent the ultimate goal of human endeavor-and the by-product has been a higher, but too materialistic standard of living • • ." Dr. Morgenthau said "here we have one root of the alienation of the younger generation. Society has not given them any meaning of life, and a material explanation does not satisfy their aspirations."

Another point Qf alienahon, he went on, has been the effects of the technological revolution. "Society has created highly advanced forms of technology in which it not only can destroy itself, ,bu't all humanity as well," he said. Referring to the development of unprecedented nuclear power "which can lead. to the destruction <Jf, society a!:(weknow it," DIr. Morgenthau said ,this has profoundly impressed some students. The "self-destructive tendencies in our society" as seen in the spiraling arms race, ,the professor continued, have had bad side effects on some youths who have developed "nihilistic" attitudes. Man, he added, has tended to become lost in the face of the rapid technological transformation which society has undergone in recent decades. Man has become an almost "isolated, helpless element within society, as more emphasis has ~urn to Page Three

Catholic Schools Aid All Types of Poor SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Archbishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio, in a pastoral letter reaffirming the need for Catholic schools, said sacrifices must be made to preserve Christian education. The solution, he said, is "not to suppress the school or abandon it, but rather to em- to finance a parish school," phasize Christian education Archbishop Lucey said." But he added, "An educational ana strengthen it." "Even with improved financing," he added, "there can -be no doubt that, with the ever mounting costs of education, we will need money from the state and federal levels if Catholic education is to continue." He urged Catholics to become more politically sophisticated and cited Citizens for Educational Freedom, a private nondenominational group, as a useful instrument for securing equitable treatment of nonpublic education. A CEF chapter is being organized here. "Laymen are hearing a message that since the public schools today are -totally neutral, and since everyone pays taxes for their support, there is no need

State Pays ~f Schools Close WILMINGTON (NC) The state may have to assume responsibility for the education of children in nonpublic schools if state or federal aid is not forthcoming, the Wilmington diocesan superintendent of schools said here. Father Howard T. Clark said the Wilmington diocese is faced with the same problems as many others across the country where financial pressures are forcing the closing of schools, thus placing a greater burden on already overcrowded public school systems. The fund squeeze has led to new attempts to gain governmental support for non-public schools and in some instances has renewed debate over the question of separatio'n of church and state.

In the medieval, world, "permanency was a prime value," but 'the present time is marked by "mobility, process, pluralism of points of view, an accent on contingency, the spirit of search and the refusal of total commitment .lest we be trapped into a sterile and invalid existence."

Priest Stresses Social Concerns Of Church SAN ANTONIO (NC) "Thp.re is a painful reality today in that those in the Church who talk about God, are those who are not anguished about the misery of their neighbors and are not willing to put forth the effort to fulfill the mission of the Church." This was how Father Gregory Baum, O:S.A. of St. Michael's College, Toronto, summed up one of the points stressed about developments in the contemporary Church in an inter~ew and lecture at Our Lady of the Lake College. Father Baum said the mission of the Church today is one of service as well as collaboration and dialogue. He emphasized this was found in Scripture in the passages where Christ' declared that whatever is slone for the least of His brethren is done also for Him. "What is important," he said, "is where we stand on the important issues of the day. What matters is whether we are committed on issues like poverty. Do we stand with the rich or the poor?" Referring to the ecumenical movement, Father Baum said he sees a trend of Christian communities of men and women coming !across 'denominational lines and joining forces as a powerful movement to "help transform the world with others." One of the characteristics of the Church today, he said, is "a new sense of universal brotherhood with all," including a spectrum from the undel"privileged to non-Catholics. Open Doors . "We read 'many times in the documents of Vatican II that the community which the Spirit has created in the Church extends to embrace others. The Church is open'-ended, it has open doors. "The mystery of the transformation of fellowship no longer stops at the visible' boundary lines of the Church. "If the word of Christ continues to be said in the Christian community, we have to listen to everyJhing that is said, including what we hear about the misery of mankind," he stated. Turning to other areas of the contemporary Church,' Father, Baum said that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council have not been implemented to the extent necessary. He said there is an increased responsi. bility on the part Of all-clergy anq laity alike-to "funnel the summons of the Gospel for the present age" and that many are shying away from this responsibility.

Law Officia I Urges Lower Voting Age JERSEY CITY (NC) - New Jersey's chief law enforcement official said here that one reason for unrest on the college campus is that college students comprise "one of the most disenfranchised groups in the country." State Atty. Gen. Arthur J. Sills, speaking at St. Peter's College under the sponsorship of the school's Political Science Forum, said he favored a iower age for voting. "One of the major problems of college life," he said, "is that students are cut off from the democratic process. I think the time has come for the cutting of the voting age:'

WASHINGTON (NC) The New Democratic Coalition, an organization of former suporters of Sen. Eugene McCarthy and the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has criticized the widely acclaimed stance of University of Notre Dame president Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., on student dissent. Father Hesburgh recently announced a firm policy against campus disorder. His letter to Notre Dame students and faculty, which was publicly hailed . by President Nixon, said "any one or any group that substitutes force for rational persuasion, be it violent or nonviolent, will be given 15 minutes of meditation to cease and de-' sist." After that, he said, they will be suspended if they are students or charged with trespassing if they are not students. The New Democratic Coalition, in a press conference here, said Fr. Hesburg's policy "unjustifiably disregards the demands for procedural and substantive due pr'ocess that should be available to any citizen accused of illegal behavior and substitutes authoritarian and non-appealable judgment ,by a single person." 'Example of Trend' The coalition said the policy is part of a "growing movement in this country for the repression of dissent." Other trends in this direction, it said, are "threats to scholarships of those who oppose certain university policies, reduced appropriations for state universities, use of military and draft law to quiet dissent and the growing use of police violence against those who protest." The New Democratic Coalition called the Hesburgh letter "perha'ps the most obvious- example of this trend," and called on "leading figures in the Democratic Party to speak out publicl'y in opposition to the NixonHesburgh letters and to support the rights of students and others threatened with political repression."

Asking for It

The late belo ed' Pope John was a man who was far from the easy-go ng anything-goes type that he is so often painted as bing. He was a holy and a simple and a wise man. And he was able to point out very candidly the faults of men and their needs but in such a way that they would take not of ense but resolve to do better. He often pre ented before men the five points that Pope St. Gregory! id down in the seventh Century for the renewal of the spi itual life. He reminded his listeners that while human natu e ebbs and flows like a tide, it is-like the tide-still the bbing and flow of the same substance. There is change- ut there is sameness, too. And the Il).eans of renewal that w re valid thirteen centuries ago are valid in every age, since man remains man. , The five points Pope John are cle tion of concupisce detachment from the exercise of un

listed by Pope Gregory arid reiterated by 1': the desire for heaven, the mortificace, a simplicity alie'n to worldly pomp, n immoderate desire for, wealth, and iring and generous charity.

Continued from Page One Bishops' Fund for Overseas Aid have shown a realistic trend. We have never been meager in our response to the cry for help from Biafra, Latin America, and other trouble spots. What we have given has multiplied mani..; fold, due to the expert direction by those that distribute foods, medicines, and money. Next Sunday, March 16.th, the Catholic congregations of the country make their offerings for World Relief. What you contribute may make the difference between life and death to hundreds of thousands. We have seen glaring evidence in the Press of children starving, not alone in Biafra, but the FarEast as well. No matter what the destruction of war, the Church must patiently start all over to build up her civilizing services. Our Holy Father comments, as follows, in his letter endorsing the Overseas' Helief collection: "The armed conflicts that have continued this past year, augmented by natural ~isasters, have deprived multitudes of their homes, clothing, food and medicine. To all we strive to bring the consoling Charity of Christ, ,but in this merciful mission we have constant need of help from our children in more fortunate circumstances.

State Pays Continued from Page One costs of maintaining a sound educational program, a growing 'need for lay teachers and the diminishing ability of parishioners to pay for parochial non public education have contributed to the crisis in the Wilmington area. Lay Teachers A decline in religious teachers "has caused us to employ more lay teachers in our schools. and we are again faced with a rise in salaries," he said. "We are faced with the fact that many of our city parishes do not have financial resources to continue. support of our parish schools," 'he continued. "The population is no longer there and those rezpaining do no( have the financial means to support it. In the suburban area, we have many young families and these young people are faced with their own personal financial difficulties," he said. Father Clark suggested one answer to the problems of nonpublic schools would be for the state and federal government to "purchase service in secular subjects such as JT!.ath, science, language, arts and music."

Plan Withdrawal' From Hospital TULSA (NC) -The Wichita province of the Sisters Adorers of the Most Precious Blood, effective April 1, will withdraw from management and operation of St. ,Francis hopsital here in Oklahoma. Sister Teresa Palsmeier, provincial superior, said the withdrawal is due to "basic differences in princi'ple between the Sisters and the Warren Foundation in matters relating to personnel, business management and administra,tive control of the hospita1." The $8.5 million hospital was established by the William K. Warren Foundation of Tulsa. The foundation also endowed the hospi,tal to ensure its operation and expansion. Sister Teresa said, "under these circumstances we cannot, according to our .Christian prin~iples, carry out our reUgious commitment 'here, and must therefore withdraw from the hospital." The move came af,ter several months of meetings and discussions involving the Sisters, the Warren Foundation, the hospi,tal board of directors, and administr.ative ,personnel. Unable to resolve what was called "basic differences in principle," Sister Teresa said "it appears that they will not be reconciled in a manner acceptable to the Sisters." Spokesmen for the Sisters declined to comment on what the ",basic differences" were which led to the withdrawal, or on what was meant by "circumstances" under which ,they could not "carry out (their) religious commitment." Spokesmen for the Warren Foundation were unava.ilable for comment on the issue.

Church Conference Formed in Texas AUSTIN (NC)-The 16-yearold Texas Council of Churches has been dissolved here and replaced by a new organization. which some observers say is' the most representative ecumenical body in the world.

English Language Bill Crucial in Quebec Both Sides Relea se QUEBEC (NC)--The future of Quebec, and to some extent of Canada itself, hinges on the outcome {If a heated debate on the provintial government's proposed bill to guarantee taxsupported English-language education in Quebec. The issue boils down' to a choice between a bilingual concept for Quebec schools and a unilingual (French-language) school system. The latter alternative is backed by various nationalistic movements which, though at present !Speaking only for a small fraction of Quebeckers, nevertheless play on the historic insecurity of French Canadians immersed in an overwhelmingly English culture. Some Quebeckers believe their only hope of defending the French culture, and especially the language, lies in a unilingual state. Some would even prefer to see a Quebec completely severed from the rest of Canada. Precarious Situation English-speaking Quebeckers currently have their own schools, in which the language of instruction is English" but the situation of these schools is precarious. The government's move to introduce legislation to protect English-language schools came after national attention was focused on the action of the Catholic school board in the Montreal suburb of St. Leonard's, which abolished English-

Iowa Laity to Elect Diocesan Council DAVENPORT (NC )-Machinery has 'been set up for the democratic election in parish voting on March 30 of 22 new members of the year-old Davenport diocesan lay council here in Iowa. The 22 will replace 16 members of' the original 30-member council named a year ago by Bishop Gerald F. O'Keefe who, at that time, said he wanted thc council to be representative of the 120,000 lait~路 in the 22county diocese. The other 14 of the original council will continue in office until 1970 when their terms expire. They will be subject to similar elections. This was arranged to assure continuity of purpose and planning of the original council. Edmund Seyfried, Davenport business executive and council president, said "there is really no area we are forbidden to explore."

language instruction at the grade one level. Both sides in the language debate have released their biggest guns and a polarization has taken place. Addressing the fifth in a series of public hearings on the proposed legislation, the committee urged the province to provide the leadership in promoting bilingualism across Canada, for the sake of a "strong and united" country. Opposition to the bill includes the Estates-General of French Canada, an influential group promoting "national emancipation of French-Canadians." Predicts Control The Estates-General, a selfstyled "parliament of the French-Canadian nation," insists on a unilingual "Quebec Francais." Under this policy, English would be taught oniy as an optional subject in secondary French-language schools. The concept of unilingualism for Quebec is attracting an ever-increasing number of Quebeckers.

Guns

Raymond Lemieux, a Montreal architect, has founded a French unilingual movement which now has about 6,000 duespaying members. He said he has formed alliances with 15 nationalist pressure groups, notably the Federation of St. Jean Baptist Societies, which wields considerable influence inside the ruling Union Nationale party of Quebec. Rene Levesque, leader of Quebec's small separatist party, "Parti Quebecois," said in a recent report that the separatists will have control of Quebec within the ne.xt decade. The 'Canada Committee, whose members include many -prominent English-speaking and French-speaking Quebeckers, has supported the proposed provincial bill.

Mass Obligation SUPERIOR (N C) The Priests' Senate of the Superior diocese has recommended the privilege of Catholics fulfilling their Sunday Mass obligation at Saturday night Masses. The Wisconsin group approved a motion that the permission be given to every parish in the dioc~se, and the pastor and the parish council should decide whether there was need for the use of this permission in the particular parish.

He spoke at a press conference in his residence here a,t which he was joined by this community's major religious leaders, concerned about spreading r~cial and religious tensions. The conference heralded pGrtici-pation by Catholics, Protestants and Jews in a week-end o~ common prayer in all churches and synagogues for restoration cf good will among Vlarious religious and racial groups. At the services there was an unprecedented use of an identical prayer form by members of the three religious denominations, invoking spiritual guid1.lI1ce a,nd help in ,allevtiating community tensions. Among other spokesmen at the conference were Rabbi Gilbert Klaperman, president, New York Board of Rabbis, and' the Hcv. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, president, the Co u n c i 1 of Churches of the City of New York. 'To Understand. Trust' One pont of the prayer read: "Make us a ,band of brothers; fill us with true spirit of the town where roads .and people and interests come together; let not the spirit, citadels and fortresses lock us into narrow groups, suspicious, distrustful, ,prone to hate . . . . Help us to talk to each other, to understand, to trust, to love, to work togcther . . . . Make us know 'that there is no place for hatred, bigotry, and racism, overt or subtle." During a question-answer period after the conference, Arch- , bishop Cooks stressed: "Hatred is no, solution. ,We can only overcome this evil in our midst by a mission of ,good will, understanding and kindness to one another." While all agreed one week-end of prayer would provide 'no quick termination of tension, they said they were hopcful that the special week-end of common prayer would lead to other programs of action. "Wc need more positi ve programs to encourage social justice and to remove economic evils," Archbishop Cooke said. He mentioned specifioally better job opportunities and quality education.

"The knowledge and attitudes imparted by the family are the basis and support forthe further work . of the school and the Church," the archbishop said in a pastor'al letter. "The school and the Church are not supposed to do the work of the family nor can th'ey do it; they are supposed to -build on it." ,"In fact," he said, "the actual meaning and application in the school and the Church are supplied by the life in the home. The customs, the life in the home, interpret the law of Christ, especially Christ's law of love, because par~nts are the channel of that love." Where a disparity exists between Christ's law of love and home life, the doctrines are nega'ted, the archbishop said.

Chaos Possibi Iity In Public Schools

Roderick

INDIANAPOLIS (NC) -The executive secretary of the Indiana Catholic Conference warned here failure of the state legislatur.e to provide help to the financially hard-pressed parents of non-public school children will spell financial chaos in Indiana's public schools. James O. Brennan, who also serves on the Committee on Nonpublic Schools, said any continuation of property tax relief is directly dependent on recognizing "in a tangible way" the public contribution made by pri vate education. He said parents of nonpublic school children, by contributing tax dollars to public schools as well as supporting the private sector, are currently subsidizing education in Indiana "to the tune of well over a hundred million dollars a year. "If subsidy, or any substantial portion of it were to be lost, the present 'crisis' in public education would become 'chaos.''' Brennan stated. "Property tax rates simply could not bear the added burden, and the result would be the curtailment of curricular offerings; significant increases in class sizes; and perhaps staggered school classes." Brennan denied there is any concerted move to dump nonpublic school students on the public system, but warned that "so'me adjustments must necessarily be expected in the absence of some action by the General Assembly.

What could be more timely 01' welcome right now than a flower show? With the presence of Winter all about us in the form of masses of snow we have had to endure of late, it might be very worthwhile to take a trip to Suffolk Downs in East Boston, not to spend your hard earned tioned that even the everyday money on the nags, but to conversation of the man-in-the has some of these lyrical visit the Spring show of the street poetry of Ifish writings. She

Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The title of the show this year is "Spring Time-Garden Fun Time." It has been a few years since I have gone to this annual show, but this year it is a must just to lift my spirits and get me ready for work in the garden. The shqw will be held from Monday, March 17 through Friday, March 21 and this year an added attraction is a showing of the Ames azalea collection. Spring Preview I am not usually too keen on this kind of show because it has been my experience that it's usually too large and commercial. One sometimes wonders whether one is路 attending a flower show or a carney outfit on display, but the flowers are always a delight and the settings are well worth a gander. When Marilyn and I have gone we have always come away from the show with valuable information which does make the trip and the cost of admission worth the effort and the price. This year does present special circumstances which make it a must. I am sure I am not alone in my abhorrence of the snow which arrived on the :scene so late in the Winter. I am equally' sure that myriads of people share my anticipation of seeing colorful Spring bulbs break into bloom. The flower show gives us the opportunity to rush things a bit and although I am usually willing to wait for nature to take its course, this year I am going to get me to the flower show for a preview of things to come! In the Kitchen Shades of the blarney stone, if it isn't the time for us to search our closets for something green, bid our butchers to cut us a good piece of corned beef, and buy at least one ticket for a Hibernian function. For 'tis March 17 that will be facing you on the calendar before you can say Pat ,and Mike and Good St. Patrick. They are a remarkable people, the Irish, and I truly wish I knew more of their history. Of course I was brought up in what you would call an Irish-American environment (with a mother whose maiden name was Flaherty and a paternal grandmother called Katie Griffin, a child couldn't help bltt feel Irish) but even my grandmother had been born here, so tales of the old sod were hard to come by. However, the spirit was still present and with it the pride of being Irish. Along with the spirit one must also be born with a certain kinship for one's ancestors because my favorite writers are those Irishmen Who weave a tale filled with the pathos and sadness that seem to fill their lives. A friend who has visited these isles men-

also commented on the friendliness of the Irish, especially to visitors who know something of their tragic history. Cottage Industries Gradually Ireland seems to be improving economically, but it is still said to be a country of cottage industries. However, many of these cottage trades, such as knitting handmade garments have become a big business for import. But even if the Irish economy competes with that of its neighbors, the people's gregariousness and warmth and love of beautiful language makes their land one to remember and one we should be proud to have in our background. 路Just an aside for those who enjoy anything to do with cooking, don't miss Graham Kerr, the Galloping Gourmet, who has a daily show on Channel 7 at noon. He's an absolute delight and handles the language almost as well as an Irishman (but then he is from Ireland's neighbor, Scotland). A friend of mine who has visited the Royal Hibernian Hotel in Dublin recommends their recipe for Irish Brown Bread Royal Hibernian. She said it was a delight and one of the features for which this hotel is famous. It is quite easy to make (the only difficulty is in the obtaining of the whole wheat flour but many specialty food shops do carry it), marvelous to look at and deserves a place on your yearly St. Patrick's Day menu. Irilsh Brown Bread Royal Hibernian 5 cups whole wheat flour 2'/z cups all-purpose flour % cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter 2 eggs 2\;4 cups sour milk or buttermilk (I didn't have any buttermilk so I put one Tablespoon of vinegar in regular milk and it seemed to work fine). 1) In a very large bo~l mix together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. 2) Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. The Royal Hibernian recipe tells you to do this part with your hands but I used a combination of my hands and the pastry cutter and I did manage to get the particles quite fine. 3) In a separate bowl beat the eggs and add the sour milk or buttermilk. 4) Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually add the egg-milk mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms and then place on a floured surface and knead thoroughly. 5) Divide the dough in half and shape it into 2 round balls. Flatten the tops slightly and with a pointed knife cut an x about liz inch deep. Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 400 oven about 45 minutes. Cool before cutting into thin slices. This might be quite tasty too if one added half a cup of raisins. 0

This prevents any food or medical supplies from coming in, which is why many of my countrymen are merely waiting their turn to die. "Why can't this war be fought as a war, and not a massacre of innocent children and civilians?" she asked. Commenting on U.S. aid to refugees and children during the Biafra-Nigeria conflict, Sister Agnes said "this is not enough. Although we are grateful Ito Americans for what they have dune for us, what is really needed is recognition of the Ibo government and an oattempt to have the war conducted as a war, not as a vendetta.

Dr. William Paddock, coauthor of "Famine 1975," said: "We believe that the statistics that are available for analysis show that by the year 1975, the agricultural productivity of the United States will be unable to fill the world food gap.

Catholic Schools Continued from Page One should direct their service to other fields which are apparently more relevant and perhaps more effective," he said. "The popular interest in helping the poor, which defines the poor only from an economic point of view, puts much of the work elementary educators are doing under suspicion, 'and neglects the possibilities inherent in it of hefping the poor," he added. "Fidelity to the poor is not guaranteed merely by changing the field of the apsotolate. This fidelity requires a change of attitude so that educators can see in their own classes how many poor students there are. It should be evident that there is a poverty of intelligence, a poverty of affection, a poverty of faith." Noting that the role of the Catholic school is being questioned" the archbishop said, "It is not enough to reaffirm that the Catholic school has apostolic value." What must be done, he said, is to emphasize the renewal of CathOlic education. "The Catholic school in our country has made our religion strong and has given good citizens to the state," he said. "Let us make the sacrifices necessary to preserve Christian education and strengthen it."

significance of the Paca Street campus and the involvement of seminarians in social service programs in its inner city neighborhood were factors in wanting to keep the seminary open. But money problems, the decreasing number of vocatiotls and other considerations outwdghed the desire to stay at Paca Street. Despite the closing of the seminary, Father Lee said the Sulpicians will preserve at least two of its historic buildings: Mother Seton House and the chapel. Blessed Elizabeth Seton started the nation's first parochial school in the house. The Gothic revival chapel was dedicated by Bishop John Carrol in 1808 and renovated last year.

Supreme Court's Ruling on Pupils' Freedom of Speech Stirs Interest WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Supreme Court decision settling the case of five students in Iowa who wore black annbands to classrooms after being told not to, may have given rise to some new problems for school administrators. The U. S. Supreme Court decided, 7-to-2, that the 13 16year-old students had a right to do what they did. In trying to stop them, the school authorities infringed their right to freedom of expression under the First Amendment. The same day that the Supreme Court handed down this ruling, the White House made 'public a letter President Nixon had written to Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, warmly applauding the tough policy Father Hesburgh had announced for dealing with disruptions to academic life at the university. The president was in Europe the day the letter was given out. The Iowa case began in 1965, when school authorities in the Des Moines area, learning that some pupils plan'ned to wear black armbands to class as part of an anti-war protest, forbade them to do so. When the students appeared in classrooms wearing the armbands they were sent home, but were permitted to return later without them. Parents of the pupils sought an injunction against the school authorities. A Federal District Court refused to grant the injunction, and when a Court of Appeals split evenly in its decision, the District Court ruling was left standing. The Supreme Court ruling, in effect, overruled the two lower courts. Free Speech Justice Abe Fortas, who wrote the Supreme Court's majority opinion, said that while the children's right to free speech had been infringed, their rights

to free speech are limited to conduct that does not disrupt discipline or interefere with the rights of others. He added that any conduct which, for any reason, "materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder"'"'"' is, of course, not immunized by the constitutional guaranty of freedom of speech." . He also said these rights included only political expression, and the court would not get involved in questions regarding the length of pupils' skirts or hair. Justice Potter Stewart, who concurred in the majority opinion, said, "'1 cannot share the Court's uncritical assumption that, school discipline aside, the First Amendment rights of children are coextensive with those of adults." Angry Dissent Justice Hugo Black, in what some termed "an angry dissent," called the ruling "dangerous," and said it could start "a new revolutionary era of permissiveness 0:0 '" 0:0 fostered by the judiciary." He 'fllso said the decision "subjects the 'public schools to the whims and caprices of their loudest mouthed, but maybe not their brightest students." . Observers felt Justice Fortas was striving to keep his opinion within narrow confines, but some ~hought it might pose school authorities with difficulties' in dealing with school publications, curriculum and library materials, the disci'plining of student protesters, and other matters. Justice Black felt it might encourage some students "to defy their teachers on practically all orders." Justice John M. Harlan, in a separate dissent, said a school regulation should be presumed to be necessary unless it is shown to have been "motivated by other than legitimate school concerns."

Interfaith Work Needs Jews SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Archbishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio declared that if the interfaith endeavors of Christians to build a ,better world reach out to the Jewish community they will succeed. But he warned that if the Jews arc not included, these efforts will inevitably fai路l. The archbishop's observations were applauded by some 200 persons at Temple Beth-El here during a panel presentation. Archbishop Lucey outlined some "fairly good adventures in inter-faith inter-action" and also Hsted some of the problems facing those who believe in God. He said ".tpe Church and synagogue just haven't put it over"

in persuading people to give to their fellow men civH rights, decent wages, housing, fair employment opportunities and other needs. Because the religious forces of society have failed to make their message known, Arch-' bishop Lucey emphasized, state and federal governments have enacted social legislation to meet those needs and to fulfill "the natural impulse to come to the aid of the weak or the exploited." He pointed out that ,the basis of this moral legislation is human dignity and justice. Private endeavors, he added, have paralleled this pubIic legislation. Turning to some areas of in-

terfaith action, Archbishop Lucey noted that the ecumenical movement has seen Protestants and Catholics learning to know one another better and work together in greater harmony. Looking to the future, he said the Texas Conference of Churches-to include both Catholic' and Protestant jurisdictions - will be formed later this month in Austin. "We will welcome all men of good will; particularly our Jewish brethren because they have been motivated by a high idealism in the service of their fellow man-namely, that every .human being is a creature of sublime dignity and surpassing destiny," the archi'bshop said.

Defends Catholic Sch@olsD Admissions Policie$ LANSING (NC)-The Lansing d i 0 c e san superintendent of schools said nearly 5,000 nonCatholic children are enrolled in Catholic schools in Michigan, and denied a charge that an Episcopalian youngster was refused admission on religious grounds to a Catholic school. Father William F. Meyers, in a letter to Rep. James F. Smith, said Catholic schools have had a policy of enrolling non-Catholic children for several years. Smith had said one of his constituents, William Pittsley of Flint, was tQld his child COUld not be enrolled in St. Luke's school there because he was a non-Catholic. SmHh asked the attorney general for an opinion on whether a Catholic school could deny admission to a nonCatholic child.

Teachers Report 'Sick' in Dispute BAYONNE (NC) - Thirtccn lay teachers at Marist High School here in New Jersey have reported "sick" twice in three school days in a salary dispute with the private school's administration. According to Brother Robert Henry, principal, "teachers have been asking for a raise in salary but we told them we could not afford to give them a raise at this time. We had a few meetings with them during the last week and a half."

"If you. had asked' us, we would have been happy to explain our policy on this question," Father Me~'ers told Smith. "The Michigan Catholic Conference adopted a policy on admission that states clearly that no child, regardless of religious affiliation and .whose parents desire to enroll him in any Catholic school in Michigan which possesses capacity for additional enrollees, shall be denied admission," Father Meyers said. Premature Request路 "As a result of this policy, nearly 5,000 non-Catholic children are attending Catholic schools in Michigan this year." "Unfortunately, the facts you received from Mr. Pittsley are not accurate," l!~ather Meyers stated. "Mr. Pittsley asked St. Luke's school to enroll his child_ for the school year starting in September of 1970.. St. Luke's is just now enrolling children for next September and is not accepting applications from anyone-Catholic or non-Catholic-for the Fall of 1970." Father Meyers said that Ronald Rohlman, deputy superintendent of Flint's Catholic schools, has been unable to get his children in St. Luke's for the same reason.

A Time to Listen"

\v,hat kind of listeners are you'! Do you listen simply to thc words that are spoken to you? Or do you go beyond the words, trying to discover something about the person who is speaking? It is important that we listen to each other. Really listen. Not simply hearing the sounds which the other person is making, but laying aside our own preoccupations. giving full attention both to his words, and to the thoughts behind his words.

;What kind of listener are you? Do you listen to Christ'! Do you hear Him call to you in your needy brother? Have y?u developed within yourself ,such a deep awareness that ChrJs,t is in each person you meet ,that yOIl c'annot' resist lending a dlelpinljl hand? Christ calls, .alone and afflicted,fro~ thc mission lands. Can you hear His plea? He is is the African father who must' watch his only son die from malnutrition. He is the Indian mother. who begs a p-lace to sleep for her homeless children. 'He is the South American youth who longs to be a priest, but is turned away because the seminary cannot afford to keep him. He is the young missionary, trying to, do three' men's work, in need of your prayers to support him. Will you turn away from their needs, pretending not to hear? Or will you respond in love to the Christ who is in each one seeking your help? Their dependence on you is real-they ,have no one else to whom they can turn. Lent is the time to listen! It is the time to hear Christ's plea as He c'alls to us in our, needy brothers. Christ calls .... Are you listening? Will you answer His plea?

Says' All White Americans Responsible' for Racism ,

By Msgr. George G. Hiyg.im;

A year ago the National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders-better known as the Kerner Commission-concluded that "white racism i~ essentially responsible for t.he expl9Jfi've mixture which has been accumulating in our ~ities since the end of World Human nature being what it War 11." The commission further stated that "our na- is, I suppose we arc all tempted to play this game when the gotion is moving toward two ing gets a little rough. That is societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal." A few weeks ago two private organizations-Urban American and the Urban Coalition-concluded in. a followup entitled "One Year Later" that the nation has not reversed this movement. "We are a year closer," they .pointed out, "to two societies-black and white, increasingly separate and scarcely less equal." This being the case, it is not at all surprising that spokesmen for the black community in the United States are becoming ever more vehement in their criticisms of white racism. They are rapidly running out of patience with the white community-and who can 'possibly blame them? Guilty Conscience It is one thing, however, for black Americans thus to point the finger of blame at the white community, but quite another thing for a' select group of white Americans to try to shift the, blame to other members of the white community. The latter response to the Kerner Report strikes me as being rather pharasaical and brings to mind a pertinent quote from the recently published diary of Eric Hoffer, the celebrated stevedore - philosopher from San Francisco: "Fair play with others is primarily the practice of not blaming them for anything wrong with us. We tend to rub our guilty conscience against others the way we wipe dirty fingers on a rag." Blame Others In recent weeks a number of white Catholics in several different parts of the country have indulged in this practice rather sensationally, thus violating Hoffer's suggested rule of fair play. They have dramaticafIy tried. to pin the blame for the current racial crisis on other people in the white community instead of owning up, in the first instance" to their own guilt as white Americans and facing up in all humility to their own responsibility for the failure of the nation to respond affirmatively to the recommendations of the Kerner Report. ' In other words, they have tended to rub their own guilty conscience against others "the way we wipe dir.ty fingers on a rag." In saying this, I am starting from the assumption, of course, that these people have, in fact, a guilty conscience on the matter of white racism. Dramatize Others' Faults I hope I am correct in making ihis assumption, for I would hate to think that. they have deluded themselves into' thinking that they are not like the rest of ihe white community or ,that they alone are immune to criticism for what America in general has done to the black people of this country.
